097. Epidemic 3
"What is it?"
"I suspect it's poisoning!" Chu Yunyi looked at Qingyun worriedly, and saw that her face had a look of joy, and she looked calm as water: "In the middle of summer this year, a bank burst in the Yuan River of Chu Guoyuan, causing a small village next to it to be flooded, resulting in the plague.
I have carefully examined the symptoms of everyone here, and they are almost indistinguishable from the plague, but everyone has a black spot the size of a grain of rice behind their right ear, which is not found in the people infected in the Yuanhe village. ”
"Chu Yunyi is right, they are all caused by poisoning." Mo Xuan's expression was solemn.
Qingyun looked straight at the secret letter in his hand, the ink pupils were as quiet as a pool of water, and he couldn't see any emotional fluctuations, but Mo Xuan and Chu Yunyi were very worried: "Xiyan (Xiaoyun) ......"
"Do you know what kind of poison it is?" After a long time, Qingyun asked slowly, she understood that Yun Yi would not lie to her, and Chen Yu would not say anything that she was not completely sure about.
As soon as the two of them heard this, their hearts finally fell to the ground, as long as she spoke, they were afraid that she would hurt herself if she was depressed after her great joy and sorrow.
"A long-lost secret poison 'ghost sees sorrow'!"
Mo Xuan said: "It is recorded in the medical classics left by the ancestor that when the founding emperor overthrew the previous dynasty, he was stubbornly resisted by the brave and warlike general Ling Xiao in Shangping County, which is now Jiuyuan County, and the two sides fought fiercely countless times for a month, and finally stalemate.
Just when the founding emperor was anxious about how to break through Jiuyuan County, someone secretly offered a poison to the founding emperor, and the founding emperor ordered someone to infiltrate Ling Xiao's army and put the poison into the army's drinking water.
Soon there was an epidemic in Ling Xiao's army, although Ling Xiao tried his best to no avail, less than 100,000 troops died without a fight in half a month, and Ling Xiao also died of the epidemic.
The patriarch was originally an accompanying military doctor, but because of the fierce fighting in January, which led to a serious shortage of medicinal materials, the patriarch was ordered by Ling Xiao to go to several neighboring counties to collect medicinal materials, so he escaped.
When he heard the news and rushed back, the corpses of the entire Jiuyuan County were all over the field, and the scene was so tragic that it was really sad to see it, and the patriarch carefully examined the corpses of some people, and noticed the slightest difference from the symptoms and pulses, so as to conclude that they were dying of poisoning, an unheard of poison;
In order to avoid pursuit, the patriarch went away incognito, and painstakingly studied the method of detoxification, but he could not develop it until his death, so it was recorded in the medical codex, and the poison was named 'Ghost Seeing Sorrow', which is regrettable for generations and has gained nothing.
At the same time, it is also recorded in the medical code that the founding emperor not only secretly executed the people who offered medicine and the soldiers who poisoned them in the name of Gu Quanxian, but also destroyed the prescriptions, and buried Ling Xiao and his army soldiers thickly, and this disease has not appeared for hundreds of years.
If this incident was really Liang Sicong's doing, where did he get this prescription? ”
"How did Liang Sicong get the prescription can be checked slowly, and the most important thing at the moment is that there is heaviness between the light cloud eyebrows: "We must find a way to remove the toxicity on the people as soon as possible!" ”
Looking at the melancholy light cloud, Mo Xuan was distressed, poured a cup of tea and handed it to her and said: "I found a few people with extremely serious symptoms but still alive, so I paid special attention to them, and heard the same detail from their mouths, that is, they all used a plant called 'Wind Yin Grass' to boil water and take it, and mash the leaves to smear the affected area, it is said to have the effect of dissipating heat and driving away cold, curing sores and boils, swelling and pain, maybe ......"
"Regardless of whether or not 'Wind Grass' really has the effect of curbing toxic attacks, we have to give it a try, and tomorrow we will set off to pick 'Wind Grass'." Qingyun looked at Mo Xuan: "It's just that the 'Wind Yin Grass' alone can't completely eradicate the toxicity, right?" ”
"Xiyan, rest assured, I will definitely develop an antidote." In order to better protect Xiyan, he has studied all kinds of medical and poison techniques since he was a child, especially the strange poison and secret poison.
"Xie Lu, thank you Chenyu!"
"You and I don't need to say thank you!"
Staring at the two of them, who were looking at each other in pairs, with a hint of affection in their eyebrows, Chu Yunyi's deep eyes flashed a trace of amazement and coldness.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, after learning that Qingyun and others were going to pick the 'Wind Yin Grass', although Old Man Zhou didn't know the reason, he tried his best to dissuade him, and Xia Jie and everyone who were waiting outside the house early also persuaded them one after another, the 'Wind Yin Grass' grew on the Wind Yin Mountain, the mountain road was difficult and there were often wild beasts, except for some bold hunters, ordinary people did not dare to go up the mountain easily.
After thanking everyone for their kindness, Qingyun instructed Xia Jie, Old Man Zhou and others to thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the village, and distribute the clothes sent by Chu Yunyi in her name to the patients to change, and the patients burned all the used items, and the food sent by Chu Yunyi was also distributed to the households, so as to ensure that the patients had three meals a day.
Then Qingyun took Mo Xuan, Chu Yunyi, and Long Ying, as well as twenty secret guards, and a few hunters who volunteered to lead the way, and set off for Fengyin Mountain.
When Qingyun and the others rushed to the foot of Fengyin Mountain, the sky that had passed by the dark night had been dyed red by the morning glow, the sticky wet and cold mountain wind blew all over the mountain trees with a whistling sound, and the deep fog lingered like a wave above the mountainside of Fengyin Mountain, and occasionally a few tactful birdsong with a crisp tail note floated from the fog, making people feel like they were in a misty fairyland.
Long Ying and a few secret guards escorted a few Orions in front to lead the way, Mo Xuan and Chu Yunyi guarded Qingyun left and right, and the rest of the dark guards were on guard in the back.
The group avoided the traps set by the hunters and carefully weaved through the twists and turns of the mountain path.
When I came to the place where the patients had spoken, I saw that it was a mess, and all the wind grass had been uprooted and destroyed, and the soil that had been turned out was still a little fresh, apparently just destroyed.
One of the Orion Foxes asked, "Strange, when I came here with Third Brother Lu to hunt ten days ago, the Wind Yin Grass was fine, how could it be gone?" ”
Qingyun and Mo Xuan, Chu Yunyi glanced at each other when they heard this, and they were even more sure that the Wind Yin Grass played a vital role in the poison of the Ghost Seeing Sorrow, and the person who poisoned it must have also known the symptoms of those people, so he destroyed the Wind Yin Grass, and its purpose was obvious.
Qingyun, who carefully inspected the surroundings, suddenly saw a blue light flickering in the weeds, and couldn't help but think about it, so he squatted down and pushed aside the weeds, and a blue jade pendant lay quietly on the ground, picked it up and looked at it repeatedly, the texture of the jade pendant was crystal clear, the lines were clearly visible, and the feel was round and delicate, and it was the most high-grade precious jade at a glance, and ordinary people could not afford it, could it be......
Put the jade pendant into the bag of the carry-on, Qingyun looked at the mess all over the place, his face was gloomy and solemn, there was no wind and grass, how to remove the poison in the people?
"I remember." Another hunter suddenly said, "I heard Third Brother Lu say that he once saw a piece of wind grass on the top of the mountain. ”
"Really?" Everyone stared straight at him.
The man couldn't help but tremble, nodded tremblingly, and everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.
And Qingyun looked at the dense jungle in front of him, and the cold mountain breeze was blowing, which made people feel eerie and terrifying, and after frowning, he ordered two secret guards to escort Chu Yunyi and a few Orions down the mountain.
Who knew that a few people insisted on staying, Chu Yunyi was particularly firm and said: "Where Xiaoyun is, I will be there, I will never give up Xiaoyun!" ”
"You ......"
"Xiaoyun, just let me follow you, don't drive me away, okay?" Knowing that the road ahead was dangerous, he couldn't stay by Xiaoyun's side to protect her, it was worse than killing him.
Looking at Chu Yunyi, who was pleading with a face and a trace of essence flashing in his deep eyes, Qingyun thought about it and agreed to accompany him.
Originally, she was taking care of his identity, in case of any accident, she was uneasy, and even caused disputes between the two countries, but she also knew his temperament, if she didn't let him go, he would inevitably follow secretly, and then I was afraid that it would be more troublesome, but a few hunters had to go down the mountain.
Qingyun's unquestioning attitude forced several hunters to go down the mountain and leave.
The further you go up the mountain, the more rugged and treacherous the road becomes, the leafy forest almost obscures the sky overhead, the sparse sunlight shines through the cracks, the surroundings are pitch black and gloomy, and the occasional strange noise, coupled with the gusts of the cloudy wind, makes people feel creepy.
Mo Xuan and the others held torches around Qingyun, watching the surrounding movements with a highly vigilant expression.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in front of them, and the shadows of the trees seemed to be chaotic, and then several green lights flashed in the dense jungle shadows, Mo Xuan and the others couldn't help but clench the sword in their hands, staring at the front, and Qingyun also quietly touched the jade bracelet on his wrist.
With a long howl, 'Woo ......' more than thirty black-and-gray wolves suddenly jumped out from behind the jungle, led by a huge snow wolf with a snow-white body without any impurities, and its eyes flashing with a strange green light stared coldly at everyone.
I don't know when the wolves surrounded everyone, but they didn't dare to step forward for fear of the fire, until they heard the howl of the snow wolf, and they rushed towards everyone, and their sharp claws attacked everyone mercilessly.
For a moment, the sword light and sword shadows flickered, flying sand and rocks swept wildly, and soon a thick bloody atmosphere filled the air.
Mo Xuan, Chu Yunyi, and the dragon shadow guarded Qingyun in the center, mercilessly killing the wolves that kept pounced.
And Qingyun pressed the bracelet mechanism to help deal with the sneak attack wolf from time to time.
"Tatsuyu, be careful!" Seeing that the snow wolf suddenly pounced on Mo Xuan in front of Lu's right, his speed was as fast as lightning, and Qingyun didn't want to rush forward to block his side, and at the same time pressed the bracelet mechanism.
Unexpectedly, the snow wolf avoided the hidden weapon, and its sharp front claws slashed deep into Qingyun's left arm, and blood gushed out, opening its sharp fangs and heading towards her
