Chapter 159: Dead Horses as Live Horse Doctors
Cao Xiu's illness was mainly a heart disease, that is, the self-blame and shame brought about by the defeat, followed by a physical illness.
Cao Miao can't cure the physical disease. He's not a doctor. However, this disease is not an incurable disease, and doctors in this era can solve it without Cao Miao bothering.
As long as he can solve Cao Xiu's heart disease, it would be fine.
There's a silver lining to that.
In the blink of an eye, Cao Miao analyzed the benefits and disadvantages and came up with a preliminary plan. He found that as he became more and more involved in the play, it was no longer difficult for him to perform unscripted.
Of course, cultivating immortals is a bug. If you tell a lie, you have to use more lies to make it happen, and there will be endless troubles.
Cao Miao weighed it repeatedly, and said to Cao Su very cautiously: "For the sake of your filial piety, I can tell you." The method of cultivating immortals was passed on to me by Emperor Wu in a dream, and it is only an introductory kung fu, far from the point of curing diseases and saving people. Moreover, the immortal method can only cure diseases, not lives. Otherwise, there are so many people around Emperor Wu, and he would not have died of a head wind. ”
Cao Su thought about it and felt that it made sense, but his mood was also a lot darker. If even the immortal law can't save his father, then his father's remaining days can be counted.
Cao Miao waited for a while, giving Cao Su enough time to digest, and then changed the conversation. "However, everything is in mind, as long as there is a glimmer of opportunity, you have to give it a try, what if it succeeds?"
Cao Su nodded again and again, and said busily: "That's right, that's right, whether it succeeds or not, you have to give it a try." Yunliang, hurry up and pack up and come with me. Treating people is like fighting a fire, so let's go now. ”
"There's no hurry." Cao Miaoan sat still. "Xiandu is destined to be a person. If you don't have a chance, even if the real immortals come, there is nothing to do, let alone a person like me who knows nothing. Des, you go and do two things first. ”
"You say, say two more, two hundred, and I will do it." Cao Su suddenly reacted. "As long as you can save my Ah Weng, I will send someone to send it immediately."
"It's not about money." Cao Miao said solemnly: "This is sincerity. The reason why I am willing to give it a try is that I am moved by your filial piety. If your filial piety is not sincere, how can you save Da Sima? ”
Cao Su swore to the sky. Heaven and earth can be learned, he just said that he was willing to exchange his life for a life is the truth from the bottom of his heart. From childhood to adulthood, his father Cao Xiu was a hero in his heart and a real mountain. Suddenly to lose this hero, this mountain, he was not mentally prepared at all. If he could save his father, he would be willing to give his life.
Confirming Cao Su's sincerity, Cao Miao asked him to do two things.
The first thing is to ask Cao Su to go back and ask Cao Xiu a word, do you still want to take revenge? If Cao Xiu wanted to, then he would do the second thing, write a letter requesting him to pass through the house and perform the spell. The imperial court had a decree prohibiting the princes of the clan, and Cao Xiu was a heavy general in command of the army, so they could not move around without the permission of the imperial court.
Cao Su was eager to save his father. Seeing that Cao Miao was relieved, she was full of joy, and she didn't think much about it, so she got up and rushed out.
"Go home, go home, I'm saved."
——
Cao Su returned home and first found his eldest brother Cao Zhao.
He told Cao Zhao that I went to Yongqiu Mansion, begged bitterly, and finally moved Cao Miao with a piece of sincerity, and he agreed to use the immortal method to save his father, but he wanted to come according to his request. The whole book
Cao Zhao is not Cao Su. His mind is much more astute and he will not easily believe Cao Miao's words. On the contrary, he felt that this was a new idea that Cao Miao came up with after failing to pass on the word through Xiahou Ji. It's just that it involves the life of his father Cao Xiu, and he doesn't dare to veto it easily.
Even if he didn't know how good he was, he could see how bad Cao Xiu's health was. The Son of Heaven sent so many imperial doctors one after another, and repeatedly issued edicts to comfort him, but to no avail, Cao Xiu's body was weakening day by day, and his life had entered the countdown.
At this time, even if it is outrageous, he has to give it a try. Even if he doesn't believe it.
This is the duty of the Son of Man.
What's more, it is not uncommon to use narcissus to cure diseases, and there are not a few people who believe in it.
Cao Zhao quickly agreed to Cao Su's suggestion, and even promised that as long as Cao Miao could save people, he was willing to pay a thousand gold as a thank you.
With Cao Zhao's support, Cao Su came to Cao Xiu's bedroom. Cao Xiu lay on the bed, motionless. His back was bare, and a large piece of red and swollen flesh had suppurated, and through the thin skin, the pus inside could be seen. Two maids knelt beside the bed, wiping Cao Xiu's sweat from time to time. There was cold food on the table next to him, and it was not touched at all.
Cao Zhao and Cao Su came to the hospital bed and leaned into Cao Xiu's ear. "Father?"
Cao Xiu slowly responded, opened his eyes with great effort, and glanced at Cao Zhao and Cao Su. His eyes were sunken, his cheeks were fleshless, his face was gray, and his breath was weak, and he was only one breath away from a corpse.
"It's Changsi, and Dess is there?" Seeing the wound on Cao Su's forehead, Cao Xiu struggled to squeeze out a smile. "Who are you going to beg for? My life is on the line, neither the gods nor the ancestors can save me. ”
Cao Su burst into tears and sobbed. Growing up, he had never seen his father so depressed and desperate.
Cao Zhao's nose was also a little sour, but he was quite calm. "Ah Weng, now in Luoyang City, there is really a living immortal. His immortal method was passed down by Emperor Wu Tuomeng, which was different and had a miraculous effect. Deth begged him several times, and finally got his promise to come to his rescue. ”
"Living immortals? Emperor Wu? Cao Xiu was silent for a long time. Is it Cao Miao from Yongqiu Palace? ”
"Yes."
"Him?" Cao Xiu sneered and dismissed. Although the voice is low, it is not without losing its pride. "Pretending to be crazy and selling stupid, what kind of fairy art does he know. Long thinking, Desi is simple, it is understandable that you were deceived by someone, why do you follow the nonsense? ”
Cao Zhao had already prepared, bowed down and bowed again. "What Ah Weng said is very true, Cao Miao pretended to be crazy and stupid, it is not enough. But his immortal method came from Emperor Wu's dream, and was recognized by the late Chen Liutaishou Sun Yong, and those who practiced it also said that it was effective, but the progress was different. My son also tried it, and it did have some effect. ”
"Really?" Cao Xiu looked at Cao Zhao in surprise. If these words came out of Cao Su's mouth, he would never believe them. From Cao Zhao's mouth, it was different. What's more, there is Sun Yong to testify behind this. He knew Sun Yong and knew that Sun Yong was obsessed with cultivating immortals, but his character was still credible, and it was unlikely that he would lie, especially for Cao Miao.
"That's true." Cao Zhao struck while the iron was hot. "Cao Miao said that Xiandu is destined to be a person, and before he is treated, he wants to ask Ah Weng a question."
"What's the problem?" Cao Xiu looked at Cao Zhao vigilantly.
Cao Zhao swallowed his saliva, moistened his throat, and said word by word: "Do you want revenge?" ”
Cao Xiu's eyes shrank, like a sick tiger suddenly threatening, and the momentum was overwhelming in an instant, which made Cao Zhao and Cao Su involuntarily hold their breath and feel cold.
