Chapter 17: Zhilan's Serious Illness
The bronze man broke free from the stone wall, and Chu Yun and Guang Chengzi had fled and disappeared into the thick fog.
"If the Qi State Killer Group wants to break through the Bagua Array, it will definitely take time, it is impossible for them to enter the valley tonight, and there are bronze people guarding outside, which will definitely consume most of their strength." Chu Yun said with a smile.
Things haven't reached a desperate situation yet, who would have thought that there was a bronze figure in the holy tomb, with it guarding the canyon, and the enemy would not be so easy to enter.
"We haven't seen the masters of the Yin and Yang family yet, what exactly do they want to do?" Guang Chengzi was puzzled, the Yin and Yang family was too weird, making it difficult for people to sleep and eat.
They rendezvous with Zhilan and continued to advance.
Wu Yazi took the Taoist disciples to the Broken Wind Cliff, where there was a natural danger, and there was only an iron-locked bridge between the two cliffs.
"I guess that the master of the Yin and Yang family must be chasing after the predecessors of Wuyazi." Chu Yun asked.
"Sending the Qi State Killer Regiment and a hundred Qin troops to break into the Holy Tomb, where did they get their confidence!" Guang Chengzi said coldly.
As they went deeper into the holy tomb, they noticed that the holy tomb became more mysterious, full of dangers, first bronze people, and then trigger mechanisms, boulders flew up, falling from the sky, if it weren't for their excellent light skills, they were few masters in the world, but I was afraid that it would be difficult to break through the dangers.
"Senior, how boring it is that you guys have made the cemetery so trapped!" Chu Yun was speechless.
The journey is dangerous, nine deaths, and the top masters may die.
"The holy mound was originally the resting place of the previous ancestors, but three hundred years ago, I sent the patriarch Lao Dan to invite the public to repair the holy mound into a dangerous place, and there was also a treasure stored, and the holy mound was set up as a forbidden place, the purpose of which was to prevent the treasure from falling into the hands of traitors." Guangchengzi Road.
"I thought Lao Dan was the ancestor of the Taoist creation school!" Chu Yun said with a smile.
Guangchengzi said: "Taoism is indeed created by the patriarch Lao Dan, but the real ancestor can actually be traced back to Jiang Taigong, he was the first person to preach, settled in Yunzhong Mountain in his twilight years, leaving a successor, and later the patriarch Lao Dan integrated all the heirs and established Taoism."
Chu Yun nodded, just like the concept of building the Great Wall.
In the Western Zhou Dynasty, they were invaded by Beirong, and at that time they had already begun to build the Great Wall to defend against foreign enemies.
In the late Warring States period, the Great Wall was almost completed, with Yan Zhao as the most, and later the Qin king unified the six countries, and although Beirong perished, their descendants Hu people still infested the empire.
Therefore, in order to resist foreign enemies, Qin Shi Huang collected 100,000 bittermen once and for all, connected the built Great Wall, and lengthened the defense line.
This huge project made the people of the empire miserable, and more than half of the bitter husbands collected died, so when later generations talked about the Great Wall, they all said that the first emperor made it, and never mentioned the word Yan and Zhao.
Later generations are all rumored to be the ancestor of Taoism, but the real Taoist ancestor is actually to help Zhou destroy Shang Jiang Taigong.
The evil cat and others were trapped in the valley mouth by the gossip array, and their faces were so angry that they were blue, and they were ordered to enter the holy mound to grab a treasure, but they were blocked by the formation, and it was difficult to enter the size.
They are killers, they don't know anything about formations, and if they want to break the gossip array, they can solve it without martial arts.
The evil cat led the army to camp and wait for the day to pass the message, and since the Yin and Yang family were fully prepared, it was impossible for them not to know that there was a formation blocking Taniguchi.
As the night passed, only the morning star was left in the sky, and a crow flew in with a yellow silk cloth hidden on its feet.
The evil cat took off the silk cloth and recorded the method passed on to him by the day to crack the Bagua Array.
"Yin and Yang family, day and day, it's really scary!" The evil cat said.
It seems that everything is under the control of the day and day, and there is no last resort, he is just the left protector of the Yin and Yang family, if the three major protectors come out together, try to ask which sect of the hundred schools of thought can compete with them.
The Yin and Yang family served the Qin State before the First Emperor unified the Six Kingdoms, and the Qin State could achieve the great cause of the ages, and they must have their credit, so the First Emperor trusted them in every way, and personally appointed the two protectors as national teachers.
Chu Yun swallowed the phosphorus snake venom and adjusted his breath, and after a while, he opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air from his throat.
After taking the phosphorus snake venom, he felt much more relaxed, and the influence of the drunken soul on him became smaller, even if he used the strongest sword of the longitudinal sword, it would not cause a poisonous attack.
"Shaoxia will take phosphorus snake venom again tomorrow, and he will be able to suppress the drunken soul poison, but there is only one year, if you can't find the blue blood and blue sky artemisia after a year, the drunken soul will immediately invade your lungs, and no one can save you." Guang Chengzi solemnly reminded.
The drunken soul was too domineering, and even he couldn't think of a way to detoxify, so he could only treat it according to the method of the Wuji Medical Sutra.
Chu Yun thought of the ice toad, but Guang Chengzi told him that the ice toad was just a legendary thing, and the toad was originally an ectothermic animal, and the weather could freeze them to death if it was a little cold, so how could they survive in the snowy mountains.
Just as snakes are cold-blooded animals, they cannot live in scorching places, they can only live in damp and cool places, and if the temperature is too high, it can be fatal to them.
"Do I really want to go to Shudi?"
Chu Yun whispered, surrounded by mountains in Shudi, the road is difficult and dangerous, and it is not easy to go.
"Ahem!"
Zhilan coughed violently a few times, her face turned pale and her breath became weak.
"What's wrong with you?"
Chu Yun helped Zhilan, but found that her arm was hot, he reached out and stroked her forehead, feeling the scorching temperature.
"You've got a fever!" Chu Yundao.
Zhilan was injured by Bai Feng, and although she was treated, her physique was slightly weaker, and she still fell ill.
"I've cleaned up her wounds, how can I have a fever?" Guang Chengzi said in surprise.
He checked Zhilan's condition, but couldn't find a clue.
"I feel so bad!" Zhilan said.
Chu Yun looked at her arm, where the white cloth was bandaged, but he saw a trace of pus oozing out of the white cloth.
He tore the bandaged white cloth and sighed helplessly as he looked at her purulent wound.
"Brother Chu, don't!" Zhilan said weakly.
Her smooth arms like jade lotus roots were exposed, and one place was red, swollen and suppurated, and the situation was not optimistic.
Zhilan's pretty face became even redder, and she wanted to withdraw her arm, but Chu Yun firmly grasped it.
If her daughter's arm is looked at, it is equivalent to ruining her reputation, so she tries hard to cover up her exposed arm.
"Don't move!" He looked at Zhilan's wound, and his face gradually became solemn.
"The wound is infected with bacteria, it's tricky!" Chu Yun said.
The weapons of killers such as Bai Feng are stained with blood all year round and have not been sterilized, so there are many bacteria on the blade, and Zhilan's wound is suppurated, which is infected by bacteria.
"Bacterial infection, what's that?" Guang Chengzi asked curiously.
Chu Yun was stunned, the concept of bacteria only came out in the twentieth century, and the Qin Dynasty two thousand years ago could not understand this kind of thing.
"It means that her wounds have deteriorated and need to be cleaned up, otherwise her life will be in danger." Chu Yun said.
"This kind of evil disease, Si Ming belongs, I have no choice, my senior brother Zhang Cheng also contracted this evil disease and died." Guang Chengzi shook his head.
When Zhilan heard this, her delicate body trembled and staggered, her eyes showed a panicked look, and she said, "Will I really die?"
"Don't talk nonsense, you'll be fine." Chu Yun comforted.
In the pre-Qin period, medical skills were not so developed, so there was naturally no way to treat bacterial infections.
Zhilan's face showed a sad color, Guang Chengzi's medical skills are superb, even he can't help it, where is there any hope.
He picked up Zhilan and said, "Let's find the water source first."
Although Guang Chengzi didn't know what Chu Yun wanted to do, he didn't stop it, but the young man in front of him was anxious, and he naturally understood what he thought in his heart.
Chu Yun found a spring in the canyon, the water was small but able to clean the wound.
"Did you bring salt with you?" Chu Yun asked.
"With a little!" Guang Chengzi said, pulling out a small packet of salt from the medicine bag.
Chu Yun picked a large leaf and took some water from the spring, then he used his internal strength to heat the water until it boiled, and then put the salt in the water.
He asked Zhilan for a clean silk scarf, and then soaked the silk towel in salt water to clean Zhilan's wounds.
Zhilan shrunk her arm, the stimulation of the salt water made the wound more painful, but Chu Yun held her firmly until the pus was clear.
"Shaoxia, what are you doing?" Guang Chengzi asked puzzled.
"Save her!" Chu Yundao.
The salt water has the effect of sterilization and disinfection, and after he cleaned Zhilan's wound, he forced out the pus, and then took out a cyan leaf from his body.
"What kind of drug is this?" Guang Chengzi asked curiously.
He was proficient in pharmacology, but he had never seen the leaves in Chu Yun's hands.
"It seems to be called Zhicao!" Chu Yun said, he couldn't understand the ancient name, and he remembered it a little. So just name it at random.
He mashed the big green leaves, and then wrapped the pieces of the big green leaves in a silk towel soaked in salt water and bandaged Zhilan's wounds.
"As far as I know, sesame grass is not medicine!" Guang Chengzi said that he had also heard of Zhicao, but he had never heard of its miraculous effects.
He has also read a lot of ancient medical books, and there are no cases of Zhilan being infected with a serious disease that no one can cure.
"Zhicao doesn't work for other diseases, but it does for her wounds." Chu Yun said with a smile.
The large green leaves have a bactericidal effect and can effectively treat wounds, and he saw a lot of them growing in Yunzhong Mountain, so he plucked the leaves and preserved them.
Fortunately, bacterial infections did not penetrate deep into the skin, and in the days when antibiotics were not available, it was difficult to treat bacterial infections.
"I feel so cold!" Zhilan curled up, her face was pale and colorless, she was hugged tightly by Chu Yun, wanting to push him away, but she couldn't exert her strength.
"You rest first, and you'll be fine when you wake up!" Chu Yun said softly.
Zhilan's hands tightly grasped the clothes on Chu Yun's chest, feeling the temperature coming from his chest, making her heart beat faster, and she felt an unprecedented sense of security.
"It's so warm!" She said softly, her eyes slowly closed, and her breathing became even.
Seeing Zhilan fall asleep, Chu Yun showed a hearty smile, looked at Taniguchi, and said, "The Bagua Array can trap that group of killers, but it can't trap the Yin and Yang Family, I think they have broken the formation, and it is very likely that they will collide with the bronze man."
"Do you know where the treasures coveted by the Yin and Yang family are?" He asked.
