This was the first time Zhou Chen spoke in more than a year. No, it should be said that it was the first time he spoke the correct pronunciation accurately.
Although the voice is hoarse and unpleasant, like the noise made by metal friction, it can still be understood, which is much better than the previous whining.
Taoist Lin's eyes lit up when he heard Zhou Chen speak, and he said in surprise: "You can speak normally. It seems that your fire-cold poison is almost cured. Very good, very good. Let's see how you recover next."
Already."
"Thanks."
Zhou Chen thanked him. After all, he hadn't spoken for more than a year and suddenly he could speak. For a while, he couldn't control his tone very well.
Taoist Lin treated him for nearly a year, and he was really grateful. Without Taoist Lin, he and Lin Shu would never have been able to cure the poison of fire and cold.
If he really lived like Nie Feng in the plot for decades, then life would really be worse than death.
Lin Taoist said: "You can resume action in such a short period of time, and your physical condition has recovered quite well, which means that your physique may be really different from ordinary people; but you can't be careless in the future. Although the fire and cold poison has been resolved, but
The cold energy of your body has penetrated into your flesh and blood, and you will definitely suffer from a recurrence of cold illness in the days to come."
Zhou Chen nodded, indicating that he understood that compared with the torture of fire and cold poison, the onset of cold illness was nothing.
"Then you should have a good rest first, and I will come over tomorrow to check on you."
After Taoist Lin said this, he left, leaving only Lin Chen standing in front of Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen's eyes exposed outside the gauze glared at him angrily: "Don't talk, I'm in a good mood now, and I don't want to ruin my mood because of you."
"Hey, what's your attitude? Is this how you treat your savior? Do you still have a conscience?"
Lin Chen jumped angrily, pointed at Zhou Chen and shouted angrily, calling Zhou Chen an ungrateful person.
To this, Zhou Chen responded with a disdainful "haha".
"Why are you laughing? What's so funny? Is it because you can't tell the whole story now and can only laugh?"
"Hey, I'm talking to you, turn your head, turn your head."
Seeing that Zhou Chen didn't turn around, Lin Chen walked around to Zhou Chen and said, "Zhou Chen, I'm telling you, you should have a nicer attitude towards me, or I'll do something wrong with your medicine, which will make you uncomfortable."
"hehe."
"Oh, your uncle."
If Zhou Chen had quarreled with him, Lin Chen wouldn't be so angry, but Zhou Chen's sarcastic look made him furious.
Lin Chen was so angry that he patted Zhou Chen on the shoulder and ran away.
"Ouch, fuck me."
Although Lin Chen only patted her gently, Zhou Chen, who had not yet fully recovered, felt pain.
But looking at Lin Chen who was running faster than a rabbit, Zhou Chen could only feel angry and itched his teeth, waiting, waiting for me to recover, it will be easier for you.
Now he can move freely, but he doesn't dare to start practicing martial arts. His current body bones are not strong enough to support him to do such an exercise that requires energy.
Looking at the gauze wrapped all over his body, Zhou Chen was also helpless. It would probably take some time to remove all these things.
"System, open the panel."

………………
Looking at the values in the system panel, Zhou Chen felt uncomfortable with his current physical fitness. He is really fragile now, and this is probably what children are like.
This has slowly increased over the past six months. When he just finished detoxification, the value was even lower, and his physical condition was so bad that he only had three points left. If he hadn't been lucky, he might have died.
He is really weak now, but what is gratifying is that his physical fitness is slowly recovering. Although the recovery speed is slow, according to his estimation, he can return to his best condition without external help.
It's probably only five or six years.
Five or six years later, there are still several years before the plot begins, so for him, there is still plenty of time.
On the day when the gauze was removed, Zhou Chen found that his physical condition had improved a little, but his strength and agility remained unchanged.
Because removing the gauze was a big deal, Wei Zheng and others outside came back, and even Lin Shu was carried to Zhou Chen's room to witness this moment.
Taoist Lin said before that after peeling off the skin, crushing the bones, and extracting the poison, his appearance will be greatly changed from before, and he may even become a completely different person.
No one wants to turn themselves into another person, so Lin Shu, the person involved, is naturally very nervous. He wants to see how much Zhou Chen will change after he recovers, and be mentally prepared for his future changes.
Lin Chen helped him remove the gauze, layer by layer. Because he started from the head first, everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Chen's face, feeling very uneasy.
Zhou Chen himself is more open-minded. As long as he doesn't turn into a peerless ugly man, he can accept it. After all, he has traveled through so many worlds and has experienced several times of soul travel. He has long been used to being someone else.
.
Just this time, his name after time travel was still Zhou Chen, but in fact his appearance was completely different from the real world, so even if he changed into another appearance, he could completely accept it.
When Lin Chen removed all the gauze on Zhou Chen's face, revealing his current appearance, Wei Zheng and others all screamed in surprise, and Lin Shu's eyes could not hide the shock.
Lin Chen looked at Zhou Chen's face with satisfaction.
"Well, it seems that my craftsmanship is really good. Xiaochen, you look much more handsome now than you did before with the white hair on your face."
Zhou Chen was too lazy to pay attention to him and waved to Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng, who was stunned, reacted and immediately placed the bronze mirror he had prepared in front of him.
The surface of the bronze mirror was definitely not as clear as the one-way mirror in modern society, but when he saw the face in the mirror, he was stunned.
"This this……"
Seeing the shocked look on Zhou Chen's face, Lin Chen became even more proud: "You see, you know I'm not bragging, you must be more handsome than you were before you were poisoned by the fire and cold, right?"
Zhou Chen had no time to pay attention to him, so he stared at himself in the mirror. He was really shocked, because the face in the mirror was his.
No, that's not right. To be precise, it should be his true appearance, his appearance in the real world.
This really shocked him. He traveled to this world and after undergoing a comprehensive plastic surgery, he actually looked like himself.
You must know that he never told Taoist Lin and Lin Chen what kind of appearance he wanted to make. This was entirely done by the Lin family and his son, and it was unintentional.
There would never be such a coincidence in the world, and he quickly set his sights on the target.
"System, what's going on? I restored this appearance, are you controlling it behind the scenes?"
Unfortunately, the system pretended to be dead as always and didn't give him any response at all. But even if there was no response, he was sure that this was definitely the system's masterpiece.
Seeing that Zhou Chen was still in a daze, Lin Chen waved his hand in front of him: "Hey, even if you become handsome, you don't have to be so narcissistic and keep staring, right?"
He recently learned the word narcissism from Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen used it to talk about him before, but now he is learning and applying it.
"go away."
Zhou Chen wanted to push Lin Chen away, but his current strength was simply not enough to push Lin Chen away, so he could only stare with death in his eyes.
Lin Chen blinked and retracted his hand with an indifferent expression.
"So you are not grateful at all. If you weren't interesting to see, I wouldn't care about you."
Although he has been noisy with Zhou Chen, in fact he really likes talking to Zhou Chen, because in his opinion, Zhou Chen is somewhat similar to him, not bound by the current world, with avant-garde and bold ideas, and Zhou Chen
He often makes surprising remarks, making him even more curious.
As long as Zhou Chen can speak, he has learned many interesting words and sentences from Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen's character is also very suitable for his temper.
After looking at it for a while, Zhou Chen felt that it was boring. He had seen his appearance for at least a hundred years, and now he was much younger and whiter.
Wei Zheng smiled and said, "Ah Chen, don't tell me. If I hadn't watched you take off the gauze with my own eyes today, I wouldn't have believed you would be like this."
Lin Chen asked with a smile: "Tell me, is he better as he is now or as he was before?"
"Well."
Wei Zheng said with a depressed look: "Young Pavilion Master, aren't you making things difficult for me?"
"Hey, it's so boring to talk to you, hesitant and hesitant, but it's more interesting to talk to your young prince."
"Okay, don't open your mouth, little Marquis. Shut up, little Marquis. I'm still a shitty little Marquis. Stop talking nonsense and help me remove all the gauze on my body."
"I'm not your subordinate, why should I obey your orders?"
"Stop the ink, do you still want that music score?"
"Are you threatening me?"
"Yes, you don't have to. I'll ask Wei Zheng to help me dismantle it."
"Oh, oh, how can that be done? Wei Zheng is a rough guy with rough hands and feet. How can he do such a delicate job? I'll do it, I'll do it. But let me make it clear to you. I'll help you remove the gauze.
, not because of your music score, but because of my sense of responsibility as a doctor."
"Okay, can you stop making so many dramas and hurry up? I've been wearing this gauze for almost a year and it's so uncomfortable."
Since the detoxification, he has rarely left the gauze. Every time he removes the gauze, it is basically to change the dressing. He has long been tired of it.
Removing the gauze is not an easy task, especially for someone like Zhou Chen who is wrapped in gauze all over his body. From top to bottom, inside and out, Lin Chen also spent a long time to complete the task.
After removing the gauze, Zhou Chen wrapped his body in a quilt and glanced down unconsciously.
Even this glance was noticed by Lin Chen. He winked at Zhou Chen and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I didn't get it there. There will be no problem in that regard."
The people present were all men, and they all understood. They were all suppressing laughter. Zhou Chen just glared at Lin Chen and didn't say anything.
He is indeed a little worried about his abilities. After all, as a normal man, no one wants to think that he is not good at that.
However, Zhou Chen himself is an excellent doctor, but he is not very familiar with the Lin family and his son's treatment methods.
"Are there any side effects?"
Lin Chen suddenly straightened up and showed hesitation, but under Zhou Chen's close gaze, he still said it.
"There is no problem with your ability, but because you have gone through skin peeling, bone crushing, bone and muscle regeneration, your body has been severely damaged, and you have declined in all aspects, so I am afraid it will be difficult for you to have offspring in the future, and even if you do, the offspring may have problems.
For example, inheriting your cold disease, etc."
Hearing this, Zhou Chen's expression changed slightly, but he could accept it. He had had many children, so he wouldn't mind too much if he couldn't have children in this world.
"I see."
But the other client, Lin Shu, was different. Everyone looked at him. Lin Shu's eyes were blank, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Lin Shu thinks a lot. He thinks differently from Zhou Chen. He is still young, and he is the only one left in the Lin family. If he cannot have children, the Lin family will be extinct.
He had never considered this issue before, but Zhou Chen and Lin Chen suddenly raised it, and he had to think more about it.
Seeing this, Zhou Chen immediately changed the topic and asked: "By the way, Lin Chen, I have taken off the gauze now, can I go out for a walk?"
Lin Chen understood Zhou Chen's meaning and responded accordingly: "You can bask in the sun in the yard, but it's best not to go out. Your body can't be exposed to the wind now. Just wait a little longer and I'll get you some supplements. How many supplements will you take?"
After a few months, you can go out to have some fun."
"okay, I get it."
"There is another very important thing I want to tell you. Supplements cost money. Wei Zheng and you guys hurry down the mountain to get the money. You all owe me so much money. If you don't get the money back, I will give it to you, Marshal
I and Xiaohou Ye have stopped taking medicine."
Wei Zheng didn't take it seriously at all. They all knew what kind of character Lin Chen was. Even if they didn't get the money back, he wouldn't really ignore Zhou Chen and Lin Shu.
Lin Chen waved his hand and said, "I'm leaving. You guys can chat slowly here."
After Lin Chen left, Wei Zheng sat next to Zhou Chen and began to talk to Lin Shu about their situation at the foot of the mountain.
"Young Marshal, according to your instructions, we have been inquiring about the situation in Jinling City. However, we have too few manpower and the water in Jinling is too deep. There has not been any good progress yet. However, we did meet a person, the Young Marshal.
Mr. Thirteen is the handsome musician of your mother, the eldest princess of Jinyang, but without your instructions, we dare not contact him."
"Young Marshal, we all feel that it is not that easy to clear the grievances of the Red Flame Army. We must cultivate our own power..."
Zhou Chen said at this time: "Xiao Shu, I agree with what Wei Zheng said. We must have our own power. Otherwise, just the few of us will not be able to stir up much trouble. It's just that the officialdom of Daliang is too complicated.
Those officials are very shrewd and difficult for us to control, but Jianghu forces are a good choice."
He felt that Lin Shu in Langya List made a very correct choice by cultivating his power in the world. He did not have to worry about exposing his identity and attracting the attention of the court, but he could also increase his strength and develop slowly.
Although the masters in this world are not as exaggerated as those in other martial arts worlds, powerful masters can still accomplish many things.
The most important thing is that it is relatively easy to cultivate Jianghu forces, and many Jianghu warriors are relatively loyal and easy to control.
Lin Shu thought for a long time and finally said: "Okay."
Although he did not recover as quickly as Zhou Chen, he is now able to speak.
After making the decision, several people began to discuss how to develop next.
Although Zhou Chen has many ideas and has experience as a superior, his understanding of the world is far inferior to that of Lin Shu and Wei Zheng. The people of this era are also different from the people he has interacted with in the past, so it is mainly Lin Shu who makes suggestions.
He was on hand to give pointers and corrections, while Wei Zheng and others were responsible for implementation.
…………
Time flies, and another year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Langya Mountain, Langya Pavilion, the main hall of a separate courtyard.
Lin Chen looked at the chessboard in front of him very unhappily and complained: "I said Xiao Shu, don't you know how to let me play? Do you have to force me to this point?"
Lin Shu said with a smile: "I have already given in to you, can't I keep giving in?"
Lin Chen snorted and threw the chess pieces on the chessboard: "It's boring, I won't play anymore."
Zhou Chen, who was sitting on the sidelines watching the battle, smiled and said: "I told you a long time ago that you can't defeat Xiao Shu. If you still insist on defeating him, you should listen to me and compete with him in martial arts. One hundred of him,
I can't even beat you."
Lin Chen felt angry and shouted at Zhou Chen: "You still say that I am, how are you better than me? You can't beat him."
Zhou Chen shrugged: "I can't beat him, so I don't want to play chess with him at all. I'm not as stubborn as you."
"Hey, aren't you going to live a boring life if you don't get angry with me for a day?"
"Haha, when I was detoxifying the fire-cold poison, you made a lot of sarcastic remarks to me. If we really compare, you are more ruthless than me."
"That's what happened in the year of the monkey. I think you are just retaliating. Why don't you come and compete with me in martial arts? I see that your body has recovered quite well recently. You can even lift a fifty-pound stone lock."
"Roughly the same."
After receiving the confirmation, Lin Chen looked at Zhou Chen with a strange look, as if he were looking at a monster.
"What's that look in your eyes?"
Lin Chen said unabashedly: "I think you are a monster. How can there be such a strange person in the world? He was poisoned by fire and cold poison. After detoxification, he recovered so quickly. It has only been more than a year.
You have actually returned to normal human physique, even better than ordinary people. This is really strange."
He has said this many times in the past half year or so, but every time he is still surprised and hard to believe.
The main reason is that Zhou Chen's situation is too abnormal. In comparison, Lin Shu's situation is normal.
Lin Shu can now walk around on his own, but his body is extremely weak. He cannot lift even a five-pound stone, let alone a fifty-pound stone lock.
Lin Shu can't even walk very far now without coughing, sweating, and feeling tired and weak. Even in summer, he has to wear thick clothes, and in winter he has to lean on a brazier to fall asleep.
But as for Zhou Chen, he obviously detoxified with Lin Shu, but he got out of bed half a year earlier than Lin Shu. Now he can move even more freely, just like a normal person. He is even stronger than ordinary people, and running is just like playing.
If it weren't for the fact that the cold illness recurred every now and then and his body was cold and cold, he really thought that Zhou Chen had not been poisoned by the fire-cold poison.
Even his father, Taoist Lin, was puzzled by Zhou Chen's phenomenon. He had studied Zhou Chen many times but couldn't find anything.
In Taoist Lin's words, after Zhou Chen was relieved of the fire-cold poison, it was like growing from a baby again and growing at an extremely fast time.
To put it simply, it was like growing up again. Apart from the cold disease, the fire-cold poison did not leave any other sequelae on his body.
Although this is unbelievable, it is the fact. In the end, Taoist Lin could only come to the same conclusion as before.
That is, Zhou Chen's physique is different from ordinary people, and he has some kind of special physique. But what kind of special physique it is, he has searched through ancient books and can't get the answer.
"No matter how strange it is, for Xiaochen, this is the luckiest thing. It's something I can't even envy."
Lin Shu was sincerely happy for Zhou Chen, but he was also really envious. He wished he could be like Zhou Chen, able to return to a normal human body and live like a normal person.
But it's a pity that he doesn't have Zhou Chen's physique. Now he can only lie in bed most of the time, relying on the brazier and various medicines to maintain his health.
Seeing Lin Shu's depressed expression, Zhou Chen and Lin Chen looked at each other.
Zhou Chen said softly: "Xiao Shu, don't be so pessimistic, we will find a way. Since I can recover, it means that you also have hope. As long as we can find the right method, we will definitely be able to help you, right, Lin Chen.
"
Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, what he said makes sense, Xiao Shu, don't think so much, my father and I are trying to figure it out."
Lin Shu smiled slightly and said: "No need to comfort me. I have experienced mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Being alive now is a gift from God. I am really grateful."
Zhou Chen sighed. Lin Shu was very smart and understood people's hearts. Their persuasion would not have much effect at all.
But he really couldn't help Lin Shu. He could recover so quickly because he had special skills. Without his skills, Lin Shu would never be able to recover in this life.
In the past year, Lin Shu had taken many precious medicines, but they really had little effect. So gradually, Lin Shu was able to accept his current state and put more energy into redressing the case for the Red Flame Army in the future.
