Chapter 380 It's none of your business if I'm happy to do it.
"Nephew, I'll do anything you ask if you can save Erzhuang."
Despite exhausting all his efforts, Gao Lian's life was nearing its end. Before Lü Qian could even speak, Gao Lian, as the father, began to offer incoherent prayers.
"Uncle Gao, please rest assured. Since it is both a matter of fate and good intention, I will do my best to help."
Lu Qian gathered the shimmering, colorful umbrella surface, flicked his wrist, and the strange paper umbrella reflecting the landscape transformed once more. Three thousand strands of dust danced, and a whisk materialized, gathering in Lu Qian's bosom.
He did not keep the father, who was sincerely pleading, waiting. He went straight to the bedside and faced Gao Erzhuang, who was crippled and near death in the convalescent ward.
"I've met...Lu...Zhen...Ren..."
Inside the communication speaker in the recovery pod, an electronically constructed virtual voice speaks slowly and laboriously, its tone mechanical and monotonous, as if the vitality of a living being is slowly dissipating.
From Lü Qian's perspective, on that crippled body, a woman with a broken soul and spirit sat cross-legged; she was Gao Erzhuang's primordial spirit, which could be etherealized into electromagnetic waves.
Gao Erzhuang's spirit also appeared weak, with his three souls incomplete and his seven spirits missing. It should be known that life and death are interdependent, and the physical body and soul are an interdependent and unified whole. Such a performance is both normal and cruel.
She has been able to survive this long despite her broken life, thanks not only to the help provided by the Gao family and the company, but also to her own will to live.
Now that her life is nearing its end, Gao Erzhuang's innate Qi has almost dissipated, but she still manages to hold on to her broken primordial spirit and soul, looking at Lü Qian with respect and effort.
"I...want...to...live..."
The virtual, flat electronic tone echoed in everyone's ears, and through the mechanical, hollow words, people could feel the woman's tenacious will to survive.
"Since you wish to live, I will save you."
There were no complicated rituals or etiquette, no tedious arguing or formalities; it was simply a matter of seeking survival and helping others.
Lu Qian raised his hand, and a lotus flower of interwoven red and blue flames emerged from his palm. The flames lingered, and the lotus petals fluttered, drawing upon the primordial energy that existed in the void, radiating a pure, flawless, and untainted chaotic vitality.
As life force surged forth, the lotus blossomed, its petals, composed of red and blue flames, silently twisting and unfolding, drawing the lotus toward the damaged "Gao Erzhuang" inside the recovery pod.
Through the thick glass protective layer of the recovery chamber, the flames seemed to wander in the void, tracing mysterious paths and splashing ripples of life in the nothingness.
"Is this what a dual-wielding hand is?"
The Gao family members and company employees inside the station were astonished by the red and blue flames that seemed to float between reality and illusion, like a mayfly in a dream. They were amazed by the performance of the so-called Eight Extraordinary Techniques.
【Dual-Handed Skill】Judging from the name, shouldn't it be a skill of the hands, and something that can change one's life? How can it be described so lightly?
"It is originally a method to save lives and heal the wounded. Life is the foundation of a person. This is the true meaning of the 'Dual-Handed Technique'."
Lu Qian did not hide or boast about the doubts of others, but truthfully explained the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, which were also considered the pinnacle of skill by outsiders.
He stood calmly in place, watching as the lotus flower landed in the recovery pod, taking root and spreading its leaves on Gao Erzhuang's broken body, connecting with the other's almost dissipated and broken primordial spirit.
After the tiny, illusory lotus took root, red and blue flames drifted and flew, attracting the primordial energy in the void. This energy, which was neither born nor destroyed and did not belong to anyone, was refined and roasted by the red and blue flames, transforming into the most primitive and all-powerful vitality.
Life flowed gently into Gao Erzhuang's gradually closing body and primordial spirit, quietly mending this life that was as fleeting as a willow catkin in the wind.
Seeing the initial lotus flower disperse and transform into wisps of flame petals that landed throughout the recuperation chamber, Lü Qian waved his whisk, formed hand seals, closed his eyes, and softly recited scriptures.

"The path of humanity is insignificant, the path of immortals is boundless, but the path of ghosts is joyful!"
Lu Qian's chanting of the sutra was in a very ordinary tone, and he recited the common "Du Ren Jing" (Scripture of Salvation). The ethereal sutra was like the sound of bells and drums, accurately reaching everyone's ears and striking their spiritual altars through their ear canals.
The once mysterious scriptures now resembled a beautiful woman dancing in a thin veil; those present could sense their true meaning, but their understanding was not entirely profound.
This scripture was originally called "The Supreme Mysterious Treasure of Limitless Salvation of Man" (太上洞玄灵宝无量度人上品妙经), but "Salvation Scripture" is just another name for it. In addition, it has another extraordinary name - "Immortal Scripture" (仙道经).
The "Scripture of Salvation" is often used to deliver ghosts and spirits from suffering and to convert vengeful and malevolent forces, so it is often regarded by the world as a scripture for the salvation of the dead.
But in fact, the power of this scripture goes far beyond that; it not only saves ghosts, but also ordinary people, and even more so those who cultivate themselves.
"When one enters the gates of life, the immortal path values life, while the ghost path values death."
Lu Qian's chanting continued, and in the blink of an eye, everyone seemed to see three gates, and also three roads: one is the road that the living should walk, one is the path that those who cultivate should follow, and one is the law that the spirits of the dead should follow.
The profound truths in the scriptures are revealed to the public in a way that is not direct; this is precisely Lü Qian's method and purpose.
Different people have different perspectives. All things in the universe are interconnected. Everyone has their own perspective and understanding. Forcibly instilling others' understanding is not helping, but harming them.
Those who learn from me will live, those who imitate me will die. When others' perspectives are revived in the eyes of others, then who will ultimately be the one observing the world?
The reason why the Daoist Canon is so mysterious and difficult to understand is not only because various schools and sects want to ensure the safety of their lineage, but also because they want to ensure that future generations can retain their "true selves".
True spiritual schools can only offer guidance on scriptures and doctrines, not transmit them personally; that's all.
What Lü Qian is doing now is "saving people," both saving Gao Erzhuang, whose life is hanging by a thread, and helping those who are lost in the world to transcend their confusion. This is not about the overflow of compassion, but rather an expectation—an expectation for all things in the world and for all living beings.
Lu Qian, who cultivates his true self and transcends time, hopes that there will be more beauty in the world, and that more flowers will bloom and more stars will shine in the chaotic hearts of people in the mortal world.
The Great Dao is vast and boundless, human life is insignificant, and life and death are but a fleeting moment. This is perhaps the heart of a "True Person" and the "compassion" of a Patriarch.
Taiqing Taizun's teachings are "adapted to different situations and used to save people throughout countless eons".
The Heavenly Venerable of Salvation from Suffering says, "He descends to the land wherever he is requested, and is always a ferryboat across the River of Love."
Wang Lingguan's saying goes, "If you have three parts cultivation, I will have seven parts response; if you have ten parts cultivation, I will be there to protect you at any time."
……
At this moment, Lü Qian did not know how he compared to the patriarchs, but he only knew that he was happy.
It's none of your business if the Taoist priest is happy to do it.
