Chapter 2: Ebony Wood
This kind of situation has often happened to Chen Guo recently.
Chen Qiye knew very well in his heart that his illness was getting worse and worse. The old immortal master once solemnly instructed him that the "Yama Medicine Hand" is extremely powerful and domineering, but the medicine should not be excessive, otherwise the toxicity will soak into the bone marrow, and the martial arts will be completely wasted, and the muscles and bones will be soft and his life will not be guaranteed. Lao Immortal suddenly retired and withdrew from the rivers and lakes during the heyday of the prestige of several provinces in the southwest, because of the backlash of drugs, there were major hidden worries in the body, and then he fought bravely with others, and if he did not die in the hands of the enemy, he would die in his own hands.
The old immortal lived in seclusion in the remote mountain city of Qingyuan, because he was afraid that the enemy would come to the door, and he was forced to have no choice but to do it with others.
Fortunately, the way of the world changed later, after the establishment of the new government, vigorously suppressed all kinds of gangs and gangs in the rivers and lakes, and the big gangs that were once flourishing disappeared, and the enemies who were offended by the old immortals also went their own ways, and no one came to him for trouble, so he had to enjoy his old age and die right. The only regret is that there are no children to descend on. At the beginning, he passed the "Yama Medicine Hand" to Chen Guo, firstly, he saw that he was an embryo who practiced martial arts, and secondly, he couldn't bear to pass on the master's knowledge from generation to generation, and lost the inheritance in his own hands.
Thinking about it, in this era of hot weapons, even if Chen Guo practiced "medicine hand", he only had the ability to defend himself, and he would not work too hard.
But what Chen Guo's master didn't expect was that after many years, the way of the world was changing again. Chen Guo actually became a robe brother, and his status was not below him back then.
Of course, today's robe brother is not the robe brother of the past, many things have changed, maybe he just inherited the name of a robe brother, and his style of acting is very different, especially the relationship with the official.
Chen Guo practiced the medicine hand to an extremely deep level, just like the old immortal back then, the medicine began to regurgitate.
In the past few years, although Chen Guo has stopped taking medication, he can still clearly perceive all kinds of changes in his body. Vertigo is only one of the lightest outward manifestations of it. Now, even stripped the most watery little girl in front of him, Chen Qiye was also powerless, so he could only stare dryly, and there was no rut at all.
As soon as he thought of this, Chen Guo took off the leopard tooth pipe in his mouth, turned his head and asked a capable man in his thirties beside him: "Sixth, is Wuyangmu a little eyebrows?" ”
The capable man in a suit and leather shoes is the most important brother under Chen Qiye, the general manager of Qingyuan Hotel. In recent years, Chen Guo has lived in a simple house, and from time to time he personally went into the mountains to collect medicine, and many things on the scene were handed over to the sixth child to deal with. Lao Liu is equivalent to his spokesperson, not only loyal to him, but also extremely shrewd and capable, Chen Guo is very reassuring to him.
The sixth shook his head, frowned, and said, "Seventh Master, what is this Wuyang wood?" I've asked a lot of people, and they don't say they haven't seen it, they haven't even heard of it......"
A wry smile appeared on the corner of Chen Guo's mouth.
It's not just that the sixth child hasn't heard of it, he hasn't heard of it himself. The life-saving prescription was given to him by Lao Immortal before he died, telling him that if the medicine backlashed too deeply, he could save his life by taking the medicine according to this prescription. But the old immortal also told him that this recipe was prescribed to him by a worldly master he met when he was young, and he had never used it himself. It's not that I don't want to use it, but I have a medicine that I can't find in the sky or on the earth.
The name of the flavor medicine is "Wuyang Wood".
Master warned Chen Guo that without ebony wood, this recipe could not be used, otherwise the effect would be counterproductive.
Since a few years ago, when the signs of drug backlash began to appear, Chen Guo sought medical advice everywhere, not only for traditional Chinese medicine, but also for Western medicine, and to be examined and admitted to the first-class hospitals in big cities such as the Capital Pearl, and to ask the most famous professors to consult with them, with little effect.
Only then did Chen Guo remember the prescription that his master had passed on to him many years ago, and he quickly found it and prepared to dispense the medicine. At that time, Chen Guo was still very confident. Qingyuan is a place for the distribution of Chinese herbal medicine in the three provinces and cities in the southwest, so what is the difficulty in preparing a prescription?
What he never expected was that the other dozen or so flavored medicines on the prescription were quickly completed, but this "ebony wood" could not be found. There are many medicine merchants from all over Qingyuan City, and the well-informed people are like carp crossing the river, but no matter who Chen Guo asks, he shakes his head desperately, and even a big medicine merchant from the northeast asks him very strangely, what is Wuyang wood? Is it the wood used to make furniture?
Chen Guo was depressed at that time.
But Chen Qiye is not such an easy person to die, not to mention that this matter is related to his life, and he must go all out. Chen Guo decided to go into the mountain in person and ask the old man in the depths of the mountain for news.
Hundreds of miles of mountains around Qingyuan are the places where various ethnic groups of Miao Yao live, and since ancient times, Miao people and Yao people have a tradition of collecting medicine. Master also once said that the master of the world back then, who was a medicine picker he met in the mountains, had just returned from collecting medicine from the most mysterious witch place in the depths of the mountains, and he had a fate with him, so he prescribed such a life-saving prescription for him.
The so-called witch Gu land in the deepest part of the mountain, Chen Guo had only heard of it, and no one had ever really been there, and it was difficult to say whether there really existed such a place. I only heard that it is the most mysterious place, the witch Gu is rampant, the miasma is overflowing, no matter where people and beasts enter, there is no death.
This kind of rumor, in the era of science and technology is not prosperous, there are all over Shijie, and the more poor, backward and uncivilized the area, the more similar rumors. However, Chen Guo really didn't hear anyone say that he had completely explored the hundreds of miles of mountains around Qingyuan.
In the depths of Miao Jiang, it will always be so mysterious.
Several times he went deep into the mountains and went to the villages, but Chen Guo was deeply disappointed.
It cannot be said that there is no gain.
In a small cottage deep in the mountains, Chen Guo finally heard a seventy or eighty-year-old herb picker mention Wuyang wood. The old man who picked medicine told this decent man from the city, so according to legend, the black yang wood is the divine wood of the sun, which is actually not a tree, but a kind of vine. Absorb the essence of earth fire and become the wood of the sun.
Chen Guo was dizzy when he heard it.
Although he doesn't read much, he is also a civilized person living in modern society, and he really doesn't believe much in this kind of obviously "legendary" words.
Moreover, the old man who picked herbs had only heard of it, and he had never seen a real ebony wood, let alone provided a plant for Chen Guo.
To no avail.
Despite this, Chen Guo was more and more convinced of the effect of this recipe. None of the more than a dozen medicines on the above are ordinary, all of them are extremely precious medicinal materials. Especially after learning that there is indeed a miraculous medicinal material such as "Wuyang Wood" in the world, Chen Guo's confidence is even stronger.
Now, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
The other medicines are all ready, as long as he finds the ebony wood and decoctions it, he may be able to resolve the hidden dangers hidden in his body.
However, where is this ebony wood?
Chen Guo spread his palm slightly, and a bruise stung his eyes. The bruised bruise in the middle of his palm, which was only the size of a peanut five years ago, has now become about the size of a walnut. The old immortal master said it very clearly, and when the bruise covered the entire palm, it was a manifestation of the drug's backlash to the top. At that time, it will be either dead or disabled, and the gods will not be able to save it.
Five years!
If it continues to develop at this rate, Chen Guo is worried that he will not be able to survive the second five years.
Where is this damn Divine Tree of the Divine Sun, hidden?
The sixth came over.
Chen Guo tightened his palm suddenly.
He didn't want anyone to see the bruise in his palm. It's like a person who practices martial arts, and will never expose his weakness "life" to the opponent without concealment.
Even a close confidant like Lao Liu can't do it.
Despite this shijie, there may not even be many people who have heard of the name "Yama Yakusho".
Science and technology are prospering, the generation of thermal weapons is better than the generation, and traditional martial arts have long been in decline, fading out of the field of vision of mainstream groups, and can only be seen in movies, television and novels.
"Sixth, who introduced those two people?"
Chen Guo put the pipe in his mouth again, asked indifferently, and his eyes fell on the young man and woman again, but he didn't stare at the girl's face anymore, and always felt that he would be dizzy after watching it for a long time. This girl is very beautiful, but she is not like a fairy. Besides, Chen Qiye is really not very interested in beautiful girls at the moment.
If you can see it but not eat it, it will kill people.
But he had to figure out where these two men came from.
Chen Qiye guarantees the absolute safety of every guest, and it is not unconditional. The premise is that he himself must know where these guests come from. The old guests are just that, there are names and surnames and companies, and one check is accurate. If it is a new face, then there must be an acquaintance to recommend it, and the recommender cannot be an unknown person.
In case a guest makes trouble here or is hurt in any way, Chen Qiye has to have an explanation.
Others also have to give Chen Qiye an explanation.
The sixth child followed his gaze, was also stunned for a moment, and said, "Hey, it's very raw......"
Chen Guo's face suddenly sank, and he said lightly: "Check it out." ”
Chen Qiye doesn't like to hear such words.
What do you do?
Since this venue is handed over to you, you have to find out the details of each guest.
"Hey......"
Lao Liu's heart was cold, he nodded again and again, turned around and ran.
The seventh master is usually very kind, and he doesn't put on a face in front of the brothers. But that doesn't mean you can't do your own thing. I really have to wait for the seventh master to get angry, no matter who it is, he can't eat and walk around.
Chen Guo looked at the man who was quietly drinking tea.
With intuition, Chen Guo could know that the two of them were dominated by this gentle young man. sat and stood and did not talk to each other, the situation seemed very strange, and it seemed that the difference between the identities of the two could also be seen from this.
At this moment, the young man put down the blue and white porcelain cup and looked into the corridor, just opposite Chen Guo's gaze.
The young man smiled softly, and it was like a spring breeze.
Chen Guo couldn't help but smile.
When the young man withdrew his gaze, Chen Guo was suddenly shocked.
It was an extremely peculiar feeling, this young man did not have any malicious intent, and Chen Guo was surprised that he seemed to be affected by him unconsciously.
For a big brother like Chen Guo who licks blood with a knife, this is the real danger.
