Today's sixth article, I hope you will support me a lot and give me some advice! Thank you! I'm the divider--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Stick, stick, stick, dry weather, watch out for the candle!" It's already the third watch, and Xu Zijie and I, wearing night clothes, left from the backyard of the post station. I forgot about it, someone was spying on me all the time.
"Young master." Ah Da said to Xiahou Fei.
"Deal with those people, don't be quiet, leave clues and let them come to me." Xiahou Fei said.
"Yes." Ah Da turned around and wanted those people to go over, and it would be solved in ten minutes. "Young master, it's done."
"Okay, let's go along. Hey, this Wan'er, I really can't do anything about her. Xiahou Fei shook his head lightly.
Xu Zijie and I galloped all the way to Ningfu, which is located in the south of the city, and after entering Ningfu, it looks very different from the inside and outside, and it seems that this Ning Zhiyuan must have been greedy for a lot of money before his death. We cautiously approached the mourning hall and saw that there was a man and a woman keeping vigil inside, the woman was drowsy, and the man was still in good spirits. This should be Ning Zhiyuan's son, according to Xu Zijie, Ning Zhiyuan is only in his early 50s, and he has no bad habits, how can he die well, or die of illness. I asked Xu Zijie to wait next to me, I jumped on the roof, lifted the bricks, and slowly lowered the rope I had prepared in advance soaked in ecstasy, and let the oil lamp in the house burn the rope, the smell soon filled the entire mourning hall, the woman fell directly to the ground, and the man slowly fell asleep against the pillar.
When I saw that I was successful, I motioned for Xu Zijie to enter the mourning hall, and I went down from the roof. Xia Houfei lifted the brick and tile I had just taken away and looked at the situation in the house.
"Quick, while no one is coming here yet, according to the situation of the family patrol, we have about 2 incense sticks or so." I said to Xu Zijie.
Xu Zijie nodded, and then approached the coffin to inspect the body, I immediately leaned over, there were no injuries on the surface of the corpse, there was no fluid accumulation in the abdomen and chest, there were no foreign bodies in the mouth and nose, the color of the lips was normal, and the silver needle was not detected from the throat to the abdomen. Strange, is it really sick and dead?
I looked at Xu Zijie, and he didn't find anything. When he was about to give up, I directly untied the clothes on the corpse, Xu Zijie was taken aback, "Wan'er, what are you doing here?" ”
"I'm doing an autopsy!"
"You are disrespectful to the dead." Xu Zijie grabbed my hand.
"We can't find out the cause of the deceased's death, which is disrespectful to him." I broke free and continued with my hand. I untied the clothes, and there were no signs of being injured by a hidden weapon on the body of the deceased, nor was there any sign of being injured by internal force. I had my hand to press on my lungs, there was nothing abnormal, and when my hand examined the deceased's abdomen, something was wrong.
"Zijie, come and see."
"What did you find?" Xu Zijie approached me.
"You put your hand on his belly and try it." I said to him.
Xu Zijie put his hand on the deceased's abdomen, looked at me with a frown, and shook his head.
"Press down lightly and hold still." I followed up.
Xu Zijie did so, and then looked at me with wide eyes: "What's going on?" ”
"I think I know the cause of his death. This place should not stay for a long time, let's leave first. As he spoke, he put the deceased's clothes in new order.
Soon I returned to the post station with Xu Zijie from Ningfu, I did not go back to the room, but in Xu Zijie's room, he lit the oil lamp in the room and asked: "Wan'er, you said that you know the cause of death, what is the cause of his death?" Xu Zijie asked me curiously.
"I'm sure you just felt it with your fingertips, and there was a movement in his abdomen." I looked at Xu Zijie, and Xu Zijie nodded at me. "If nothing else, the 'Gu' in his belly should be 'Gu'."
"Gu?" Xu Zijie frowned, rushed to his package, and took out a notebook from it, looking like he was rummaging through it. This should have been his note, it seems that his master has told him about Gu, this is the best, I don't know how to control and treat Gu, if he can find a way, he will not be afraid that someone will play Gu on us if he continues to track it down.
"Found it." Xu Zijie was excited.
"Let's see what it says."
"Well, Gu is a mysterious witchcraft passed down in ancient times, and it is only spread among the women of the Yu family, and it is not passed on to men in the world, and there is no other place, even if it is similar, but it is not far from being compared with this thing. It has long been used by the ancestors of the Yu family for love oaths, and the two are for the pair, also known as love Gu. In case of betrayal, one party commits suicide, and the Gu flies out of its body, causing the other emotional Gu to fly out, causing it to die of great pain after seven days. Later, a man entered the Yu family, saw that the Yu woman was amorous, so he lived down, and after two or three months, he left under the pretext of leaving, and did not return for a long time, the Yu woman committed suicide, the man Gu Fei died, and the guide talked about the Gu color change. Literati and scholars have passed on each other, and some pharmacists have also written down some methods for curing Gu, but the methods they have memorized are not advisable. There are many types of Gu, such as when people are sick, they need to prescribe the right medicine to get rid of the disease. ”
"There is a way to control zhì, the treatment? I think we may meet this trickster in our next investigation, and we have to know the solution first, otherwise it will be too dangerous. I said worriedly.
Xu Zijie nodded, and then read down: "Gu refers to the disease of swelling and accumulation caused by the accumulation of insect poison and stagnation of the veins. "Gu is led by three insects." "Those who are Gu witnesses have real things in them, which have accumulated for a long time, and they are hot and humid." "It has been full for a long time, and the accumulation of qi and blood cannot be released, and it is commonly known as Gu." Less abdominal fever and pain, drowning white turbidity. "The abdomen is hot and painful, white, a Gu." "Take more insects and snakes, store them in utensils, and let them eat each other, only one thing is alone, that is, it is called Gu, and you can become confused, and you will be troubled by wine and food, and you will be troubled by others." ”
"And then?"
"There should be three types of Gu diseases: one is caused by feeling the poison of natural insects, the second is caused by the poison of medium animal Gu, and the third refers to an extremely mysterious Gu Dao witchcraft that circulates in the Yu family. The former refers to a series of symptoms such as pale and yellow, painful pain in the heart and abdomen, vomiting blood, headache and diarrhea, etc., caused by the insect poison and the accumulation of viscera, blockage of the meridians. The two refer to a series of symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhoea, coma and even death caused by man-made poisons. Gu poison thousands of products, all kinds of differences, or vomit blood, or lie in the underworld, do not want to see the light, or abnormal heart, at first glance, or heavy limbs, sore joints, such all kinds of appearances, it is inexhaustible. and three years of death. Those who are in a hurry will die in a month or 100 days. The poison is more virulent, "those who are in a hurry will die immediately, and those who are slow will die in half a year." "For example, in the areas of Napo, Daxin, and Ningming in Guangning City, Liang Kingdom, there is a kind of red Gu, the middle one faints in less than two hours and cannot be treated, and finally vomits blood and dies, and in the places around Wuming, Shanglin, and Mashan, there is a black Gu poison, and the Gu Zhong only has an attack."
"That deceased is very likely to have been hit by the Red Gu."
"Well, I heard that Lord Ning spit blood in his mouth before he died."
"That's right, you can see what else you have."
Xu Zijie continued: "Use a needle made of gold or silver to pierce the black and swollen part of the patient's skin, if the gold or silver needle changes color, it can be diagnosed as Gu poison, if there is no change, it means that there is no Zhong Gu." If there is no gold and silver, put a piece of boiled egg white in the corner of the mouth, if the egg white turns black, it is caused by Gu poison, and treatment measures must be taken, if there is no discoloration, it means that there is no Gu in it. Let the patient take a few raw soybeans in his mouth, after a cup of tea, if the beans in his mouth are swollen and the skin is off, it means that he has been poisoned by Gu and should be treated quickly, if the beans are not swollen and the skin does not fall off, it means that there is no Gu. Test the patient's saliva to determine whether it is in the Gu, and the method of testing the Gu is in the pure water, sinking is yes, and floating is not. Let the patient lick the heart of the banana, and determine whether it is Gu, the banana tree is cut off at the waist, and then lick the heart of the banana with his tongue, and the next morning to see, if the cut banana tree spits out new seedlings, it means that it is not Gu poison, otherwise, it means that it is poisonous. ”
"Is there a cure?"
"There are fourteen kinds of Gu recorded in the notes taught by the master. But the master said that there are thousands of Gu types, and so far she has only seen these fourteen kinds, and the master said that some Gu can only be solved by those who are under the Gu, and some Gu are unsolvable. ”
"What kind of ones are there?" I asked curiously.
"At present, there are fourteen types of Gu known: Snake Gu, Golden Silkworm Gu, Slice Gu, Stone Gu, Loach Gu, Medium Harm God, Change Gu, Swollen Gu, Mad Gu, Yin Snake Gu, Raw Snake Gu, Red Gu, Black Gu, Love Gu."
"Can all of these be treated?"
"Some can, some can't be cured, even if they can solve the Gu, but some medicinal materials are very rare and weird, don't talk about me, it's my master's place, it's not necessarily whether I can get together the medicinal materials. For example: Love Gu, this Gu can only be solved by the person who is in the Gu, otherwise the person who is in the Gu can only break off love and abandon love for the rest of his life, otherwise he can only be bitten by the love Gu until death. Xu Zijie replied.
"What do you mean is that there are Gu that even your master can't solve." I was surprised.
"Yes." Xu Zijie replied in a deep voice.
"Looks like we're going to have to be more careful." I said sternly.
"Next, do we have to go to Ningfu for a trip?" Xu Zijie said.
"Yes, tomorrow during the day, when I come back from the palace, I have to go to Ningfu to find out."
"I'll wait for you tomorrow to act together. It's too late, Wan'er, go back next door and rest first! I have to go into the palace early tomorrow morning to tell the Queen Mother and them! ”
"Well, then you should rest early."
I went back to my room, thinking about it, and slowly fell asleep. In my sleep, I felt someone approaching me, but I was so sleepy that I couldn't keep my eyes open.
"You! I really can't let up for you for a while. "Someone spoke to me, but my consciousness slowly disappeared and I fell into a deep sleep. Xiahou Fei pulled the quilt up, tucked the corners of the quilt, and left quietly. In my sleep, I didn't know that Xiahou Fei had come.
