Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 285 There are gods in this world!
"Old Gao, hang in there!"

The team leader working underground, Dong Yufei, held his colleague Gao Zhixing's hand while using his shoulder to brace against a collapsed rock, trying to reduce the pressure on Gao Zhixing who was trapped under the rock and to rescue him.

Gao Zhixing shook his head, then groaned in pain, "Don't waste your energy, you can't get out, I'm stuck on this rock."

Dong Yufei exerted his strength again, but the stone pressing down on Gao Zhixing did not budge. He slumped down next to Gao Zhixing, panting for breath, and said, "We can only wait for rescue."

Gao Zhixing felt a sharp pain in his back and almost no feeling in his lower body. His heart sank, and he couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. He looked at Dong Yufei and asked, "Is there any rescue?"

"Of course there will be a rescue!" Dong Yufei said confidently.

"Will we be able to wait for rescue?" Gao Zhixing asked again.

Dong Yufei fell silent.

They were 300 meters underground. The earthquake last night caused deformation of the underground support structure, leading to a mine collapse. Not only did rocks fall and collapse occur in various areas, but the passage to the surface was also blocked.

Dong Yufei didn't know how badly the passage was blocked. If it was only minor, the rescue wouldn't be slow, but if it was serious...

Considering yesterday's earthquake and the current situation, Dong Yufei is not optimistic about the speed of the rescue.

However, he still encouraged Gao Zhixing, saying, "Of course you can wait. Your son is getting married next month and is waiting for you to attend the wedding!"

Thinking of his son, Gao Zhixing's already dim eyes brightened a little, and he nodded, saying, "Yes, I still have to attend his wedding, and everyone in our team has to go!"

"That's right!" Dong Yufei gripped Gao Zhixing's hand tightly, looking at his bluish lips and increasingly cold hands. Tears welled up in his eyes, but he gritted his teeth and held them back. "I'm going to give you a big red envelope!"

Gao Zhixing grinned. "We've been friends for over ten years. I wouldn't be happy without me."

Dong Yufei nodded emphatically, "Don't worry, I'll be fed as much as I can without you! So you must hold on, the rescue will be here soon!"

"I will." Gao Zhixing nodded with difficulty, his lips trembling slightly. "Why do I feel a little cold?"

Dong Yufei held his hand tightly. "The air conditioning is off, and we're underground, so it's normal to be a bit cold. Tell me how your son and daughter-in-law met. Introduce one to my son too?"

"Your son is... is pursuing his PhD at a 985 university, his standards are... really high." Gao Zhixing gasped for breath, his voice trailing off. "I... Holy crap?"

"Huh?" Dong Yufei was a little confused, not knowing why Gao Zhixing, who was almost dying, suddenly swore.

"Luckily we arrived in time; if we had been ten minutes later, it probably would have been too late!"

A strange voice suddenly rang out from behind him. Dong Yufei turned around abruptly and saw an old Taoist priest with a goatee standing behind him.

Dong Yufei was completely bewildered, wondering how a Taoist priest could suddenly appear in this 300-meter-deep mine. But Gao Zhixing, who was pinned down by the rocks, could see clearly that the Taoist priest had actually come out of the mine wall next to him!
Gao Zhixing, who is well-versed in all kinds of online novels and still reads them to pass the time, immediately exclaimed, "Immortal Master!"

The moment Daoist Yanqi uttered the address "Immortal Master," he beamed with joy. A stream of true qi entered Gao Zhixing's body, first stopping the bleeding from his wounds and stabilizing the various injuries within his body.

"Don't worry, you won't die. You'll definitely be able to attend your son's wedding," Daoist Yanqi chuckled, then stepped forward and took Dong Yufei and Gao Zhixing's hands. "Are you ready?"

"What preparations?" Dong Yufei asked.

"Let's embark on an unforgettable underground journey," Daoist Yanqi said with a smile. "Huh?" Dong Yufei had just exclaimed in surprise when he felt his body sinking downwards. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the ground beneath the tunnel. All he could see was the color of soil, which seemed to be right in front of him, pressed against his eyelids.

Dong Yufei instinctively closed his eyes tightly, sniffing the scent of the soil, not daring to open his mouth for fear of getting a mouthful of mud in.

Then he heard Gao Zhixing's exclamation, but it sounded muffled and indistinct, as if through a layer of mud.

Can it talk in the ground?

Dong Yufei was about to turn around and open his eyes, but his eyelids felt a light the next moment, as if sunlight was shining into his pupils through his eyelids.

He opened his eyes and saw a dark green standard disaster relief tent. Sunlight shone through the tent onto his face, allowing him to feel the warmth of the sun.

Wait, sunlight?
We've made it up?
Dong Yufei suddenly woke up and found himself in a disaster relief tent. Gao Zhixing was lying next to him, but the Taoist priest from before was nowhere to be seen.

"Are we dreaming?" Dong Yufei murmured.

"Keep dreaming!" Gao Zhixing's face was still pale, but he still spoke with a strong voice, "There are gods in this world!"

"We are not immortals, we are just some Taoist priests who have achieved some level of cultivation." Master Mingyu walked into the tent and said calmly, "We are still far from being immortals."

Upon seeing another elderly man dressed in Taoist robes, Gao Zhixing tried to get up, but unfortunately, he had lost feeling in his lower body and could only greet him verbally, "Greetings, Immortal Master!"

Master Mingyu laughed heartily, "No wonder Yanqi sent me a telepathic message asking me to come and save you as soon as possible, you really know how to talk!"

“Don’t move. Your lumbar spine is broken, your leg is fractured, and you have internal bleeding. The wounds are only temporarily sealed by Qi. If you exert too much force, they will break again,” Master Mingyu said.

"Huh?" Gao Zhixing's heart sank, even though he had expected it.

Dong Yufei was also startled and subconsciously looked at Gao Zhixing, only to find that he was still lying on the ground with his legs in an awkward position.

"Lao Gao!"

Then he heard the voice of the Taoist priest who had spoken earlier, “Cloud script in the vast void, at the beginning of the great calamity. Sometimes far, sometimes near, sometimes sinking, sometimes floating.”

With a flick of his fingertip, Master Mingyu sent a visible beam of light to Gao Zhixing.

"First, we recite the Dongzhang, then we write the Lingfu. The Primordial Beginning descends, and the True Text is born." Master Mingyu chanted the Xuanyun Mantra, and then everyone saw Gao Zhixing enveloped in light, and his legs returned to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Severe illnesses can be cured on their own, and worldly troubles can be overcome. The netherworld will have someone to rely on, and thus one will ascend to the celestial capital." After Master Mingyu finished reciting the incantation, he casually waved his hand, and the golden light on Gao Zhixing's body suddenly dissipated.

"Alright, let's move on to the next one," Master Mingyu said calmly, then turned and left the tent.

Then Dong Yufei and Zheng Hongsheng and others following behind Master Mingyu saw Gao Zhixing quickly get up. Although his face was still a little pale, he could move without any problems.

Dong Yufei murmured, "There really are gods in this world!"
