Chapter 776: A Nightmare That Haunts a Thousand Years
To some extent, the Valley of the Living Dead is not the same as the medicine sects such as the Life Continuation Workshop and the Medicine God Sect, they exist completely in the form of a family.
To put it bluntly, there are no foreign surnames in the entire Valley of the Living Dead.
As for the continuation of the bloodline, it is actually not difficult, a family that has existed for so many years has long been divided into countless branches, and there will be no close relatives to marry and affect the offspring.
In fact, the Valley of the Living Dead many years ago was not a seclusion.
At that time, the Valley of the Living Dead was already famous, and it was already recognized as the first gate of medical Taoism in the Xianwu world, and they also opened branches like the current Life Continuation Workshop and Medicine God Gate, and the shops were all over the entire Xianwu world, and at that time, there was no rule of not intermarrying with people with foreign surnames.
Until more than 2,000 years ago, a woman with a foreign surname married the then master of the Valley of the Living Dead, but she was a spy sent by other powerful forces.
Although the spy failed to take the stolen medical skills out of the valley and was discovered by the people of the Valley of the Living Dead, the Valley of the Living Dead has had a rule of not intermarrying people with foreign surnames since then.
However, at that time, the Valley of the Living Dead was still practicing medicine outside.
More than 1,800 years ago, the Valley of the Living Dead, which had been using the method of intermarriage within the clan, had the first extremely special case.
Since birth, the patient has been paralyzed and unable to move, unable to practice martial arts, and has been cold as ice all year round, and all meridians are completely locked and occluded.
The clan's medical masters tried their best, but they couldn't find the cause at all, let alone cure it, and finally the clansman died at the age of twelve.
Originally, this incident did not attract much attention, but as time passed, they found that an increasing proportion of newborns born in the clan were suffering from this congenital disease.
So, they began to pursue the source, most people thought that it was caused by intermarriage in the clan, so they tried again, let the men in the clan marry women outside, and let the women in the clan marry men outside, but unfortunately the situation did not improve, and the fatal congenital disease was like a nightmare, entangled the living dead Gu Huo family.
If you can't even cure your own disease, how can you treat others?
In the end, the ancestors of the Huo family more than a thousand years ago ordered that the whole clan should live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and no longer focus on the world, unless this nightmare can be eliminated.
More than a thousand years.
The Huo family has tens of thousands of people, and there is no longer the world, and everyone's energy is focused on the medical path, so that the medical skills of the Valley of the Living Dead are more sophisticated. It is a pity that countless generations have worked hard to do whatever they can, and at most they can only do it to the extent that the period of death is postponed.
Fortunately, the proportion of newborn babies suffering from this disease stops after a certain level, about a quarter of the proportion.
But this is not a small number, it is equivalent to saying that one out of four Huo family members suffers from this disease!
So far, they have not been able to completely cure this disease, and at most they have extended the life of the sick people from the first eleven or twelve years old to the age of eighteen to twenty years.
"Now there are 50,000 or 60,000 descendants and collateral lines of my Huo family, and there are nearly 1,000 newborn children every year, but more than 20% of these children die before they live to be 20 years old......."
Speaking of this, Huo Changli's expression was sad and gloomy, and then he looked at Qin Yan with an expectant face, and said excitedly: "Mr. Feng, your medical skills are so good that they are countless of my Huo family, if you can cure this disease, then you will be the benefactor of my Huo family, and you will be able to do everything in the future!" ”
A large family of tens of thousands of people.
A nightmare that haunts nearly two thousand years.
It can be said that if Qin Yan can help them cure this disease, this favor will be a great favor to the Huo family to save the whole clan!
A doctor must first heal himself, and the ancestors of the Huo family also understood this truth, so they ordered the whole clan to live in seclusion, so that the clansmen would not be involved in the world.
It's just that...... Even then, the results were not satisfactory.
"My life was saved by my predecessors, and it would be too much to say this, as long as I can do it...... I can't make any guarantees, though, except to say do my best. ”
"Just do your best! Just do your best! ”
For Huo Changli, this disease was a nightmare for the family for many years, and Qin Yan's medical skills amazed him, so he regarded Qin Yan as a lifesaver.
As for whether Qin Yan can completely cure this disease, let alone him, even Qin Yan himself is not sure, but Qin Yan is a glimmer of hope.
"Senpai, can you take me to see it first?"
"Yes!"
The three old men were full of excitement, walked in front quickly, and directly raised the long sword after going out, while Qin Yan was carried by Yuwen Longyin.
In the blink of an eye, a group of five people and four sword lights arrived and crossed a mountain peak and landed outside a building.
According to Huo Changli, there is now a sick junior in the clan, 19 years old this year, and his health has been deteriorating in recent times, and his time is obviously running out.
Small courtyard.
The area is small but fresh and elegant, a few alien trees exude a pleasant fragrance, and in the small pond of less than ten square meters, dozens of white lotus trees are blooming. The red fish swim in the lotus leaves, and there is a small wooden pavilion on the edge of the pond, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
However, the strong man who opened the door for the five people had an unconcealed sadness on his face, and the woman who came with him had red and swollen eyes, obviously having just cried.
"I've seen my ancestors." The man whispered, quietly glancing at Qin Yan and Yuwen Longyin.
"Don't be polite, how is Tong'er?" Huo Changli asked.
Alas......" the man grieved even more.
Thump!
The woman knelt down for Huo Changli on the spot, she could no longer suppress the grief in her heart, and her tears fell like broken pearls.
"Ancestor, save Tong'er, I'll kowtow to you......"
The woman cried miserably, she slammed her forehead on the ground one by one, crying and begging: "You have excellent medical skills, you will definitely be able to save Tong'er, please save her...... She's only 19 years old, she's still a child...... As long as I can save her, even if I want my life! ”
Children are the flesh that falls from the mother's body, and perhaps in those families where interests are paramount, the lives of children are not as important as interests.
However, in the Valley of the Living Dead, there is no conflict of interests in seclusion outside the world, and in such a family, affection has become the most important thing, and how sad it is for parents to watch their daughter enter death?
In the past, although I knew that my daughter was sick, at least she was still alive, but recently, her daughter's condition has become worse and worse, and the shadow of death has completely descended.
Because of the illness after birth, the couple took more care of this daughter than the other two children, and their relationship was deeper.
Maybe today.
Maybe tomorrow.
Maybe one day in the near future, the daughter who has been taking care of her for 19 years can die at any time, which no parent can afford!
"Juan'er!"
The man pulled up the woman who was crying bitterly, endured his grief and shouted, "Aren't you embarrassing your ancestors? The Huo family has been doing the same thing for more than a thousand years, and the ancestor also wants to cure Tong'er, but Tong'er is not the only one in the clan who is sick? If it can be cured, will it take until now? ”
"Don't blame Juan'er, I understand the pain in her heart as a parent...... Let's not talk about these things first, although I can't cure Tong'er, but this Mr. Feng can't do it. ”
"Mr. Wind?"
Hearing the words of the old ancestor, following his eyes, the man's eyes looked at Qin Yan and became extremely hot: "Mr. Feng, you ...... Can you really cure Kiri'er? ”
"Let's go and see first, I don't dare to give any guarantees now, I can only say that I will do my best."
The two couples couldn't help but be overjoyed, although Qin Yan didn't give any promises, but since the ancestor respected this person so much, there was a glimmer of hope.
Even if it's just a glimmer of hope, it's much stronger than more than a thousand years later, the entire Huo family has almost been desperate, right?
In the bedroom, a young girl lay quietly on the bed.
Since everyone's footsteps were very light and did not wake her up from her deep sleep, Qin Yan walked to the window and looked at her carefully, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
What a beautiful girl!
The eyebrows, which are not thick or light, can be judged from the closed eyelids, and her eyes must be large. Melon seed face, small but very upturned nose, slightly thin lips, because of the disease, whether it is a pale complexion, or some blue lips, it makes people feel a kind of indescribable pity.
But......
This daughter with delicate facial features and beautiful appearance has been unable to stand up since she was born, and has been lying in bed for 19 years, and now she is about to die......
Maybe it was because Huo Changli saved him, so he was grateful to the Huo family and cared about this girl.
In any case, she must not be allowed to die!
What kind of disease is this?
Because this disease has been in the Huo family for a long time, many years ago, the Huo family gave this disease a name that is very appropriate to the symptoms - Nine Yin Absolute Pulse.
When he first heard the symptoms of the Nine Yin Pulse and the previous part, Qin Yan immediately appeared that Ning Xue had been misdiagnosed with 'albinism'.
In fact, Ning Xue's so-called albinism is actually an explicit symptom of Bing's special talent, and there are many such people in the Xianwu world, that is, what people call aliens, but not everyone will reveal the symptoms of Xing through their physical appearance, and Ning Xue is a special case.
At that time, when he gave Ning Xue a break, she was also cold all over her body and her meridians were blocked.
But!
When Huo Changli talked about the symptoms and subsequent symptoms, Qin Yan knew that the problems of the Huo family were not because of their special talents.
It's really suffering from some kind of disease!
It's just that even he has never seen this disease, and he has never even heard of it.
"Can I take a look?" Qin Yan asked.
The Xianwu world is different from the earth, where male doctors help female patients see patients, even if there is more private contact, it is understandable. However, in this world, men and women are more conservative, especially women who have not left the court, and they are absolutely not allowed to be touched by men.
Seeing that the woman who was in pain before was a little hesitant, the man glared at her and said, "When is it now, how can you take care of those?" ”
Instead, he arched his hand to Qin Yan and said, "Please ask Mr. Feng to help the little girl diagnose!" ”
