Chapter 578: The Dangers of Trying the Medicine
"Squeak." Just when Zhao Guoqing couldn't help but rush into the thatched hall, he saw an old wooden door inside being pushed open, and the ninja who had rushed in earlier walked out of it carrying a white-haired monk who had washed monk's clothes.
"Boom!" The monk on the ninja's shoulder was slammed to the ground, his face was black, and his mouth still emitted a foul smell, which looked like he was deeply poisoned.
In addition, he was thrown from the air to the ground without even moving, and he looked like he was dead.
"Master!" The monk screamed miserably, struggled to crawl to the great monk's side, and tears fell from his eyes.
It turned out that he was Shi Zheng, the master of the grass hall, the great monk who secretly developed the antidote.
It seems that Shi Zheng's research has failed, otherwise he would not be what he is now.
The ninja who carried Shi Zheng out of it stretched out his hand and pointed at Shi Zheng on the ground, and shouted at Zhao Guoqing in island dialect while gesticulating: "Throw him to a remote place!" ”
Zhao Guoqing could understand the island dialect, but he pretended not to understand and said, "You mean to bury him?" ”
"Throw him in the middle of nowhere!" The ninja repeated his previous words.
"Okay, okay." Zhao Guoqing responded twice, squatted down and made it look like he wanted to carry Shi Zheng, but in fact, he was secretly inspecting Shi Zheng.
Apparently, the ninja thinks that Shimasa is dead.
When Zhao Guoqing examined, he also found that Shi Zheng did not have a pulse membrane, and his heart stopped beating, which was indeed a sign of death.
However, Zhao Guoqing found that Shi Zheng was not actually dead, but after being poisoned, the human body activated its self-protection function and was in a state of suspended animation.
This state of suspended animation stops the flow of blood in the body to the greatest extent, that is, prevents the further spread of toxins in the body.
Unfortunately, suspended animation does not last long, and if it is not detoxified as soon as possible, it will become real death.
After discovering this situation, Zhao Guoqing immediately stabbed a golden needle into Shi Zheng's heart while avoiding the ninja's sight, and then put the true qi in his body into Shi Zheng's body through the golden needle to hit the heart that stopped beating.
This move is actually the same as using an electric shock in the hospital to do cardiac resuscitation, but what Zhao Guoqing did was more difficult.
The heart is a very fragile part of the human body, and the true qi used by Zhao Guoqing must be grasped extremely accurately.
If there is too much true qi, it will directly destroy Shi Zheng's already fragile heart, and if there is less true qi, it will not have any obvious effect.
What's more, Zhao Guoqing is doing this under the nose of the enemy, and if it is discovered, it will be very troublesome, so he must be very careful.
"Whew." A foul smell came out of Shi Zheng's mouth.
Zhao Guoqing smiled slightly, which showed that Shi Zheng's heart had been beating again, and he carried Shi Zheng on his shoulders at the right time to avoid the ninja from discovering that he was alive.
"Let's go." Zhao Guoqing shouted in a low voice.
Wang Xiaohai grabbed Jingkong's shoulder and was about to leave with Zhao Guoqing, but at this time, the ninja standing next to him flashed in front of the three of them.
Horse eggs, have they been found?
Zhao Guoqing's wrist shook slightly, and a flying knife hidden in his sleeve had already arrived in his hand, intending to deal with the ninja first.
"Leave him behind." The ninja shouted as he pointed at Shizuku, gesturing with his hand.
Zhao Guoqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, flicked his fingers, and the flying knife was sent back into his sleeve, signaling Wang Xiaohai to leave the Jingkong monk behind, and he took Shi Zheng to leave first.
As soon as he avoided the enemy's sight, Zhao Guoqing immediately quickened his pace, and as soon as the person reached the dense forest, there was movement in front of him, and he instinctively stopped.
"Wow, whoa." Two figures flashed, and Susan and Wang Dahai appeared in front of them. "It's us."
"He's the Master of the Silent Sky Monk?" Wang Dahai stared at the person on Zhao Guoqing's shoulder and asked.
Zhao Guoqing nodded and responded: "That's right, he is deeply poisoned, and he must be detoxified immediately." ”
"There's a cave in front of you, and it shouldn't be easy to spot when you go there." Susan preached.
Zhao Guoqing glanced at Shi Zheng, who was getting weaker and weaker, shook his head and said, "It's too late, let's do it here." As he spoke, he put Shi Zheng on the ground, and then instructed Susan and Wang Dahai, "You are in charge of vigilance, and I am here to detoxify him." ”
"Okay." Susan and Wang Dahai immediately disappeared into the dense forest, secretly protecting Zhao Guoqing, and anyone who dared to break into here at this time would become their guns and ghosts.
A moment later, Wang Xiaohai also rushed here and joined the team of Dharma protectors.
Shi Zheng only recovered his heartbeat, but his consciousness did not recover at all, and the toxin spread further in his body, making his body very weak, and he couldn't even sit there.
In desperation, Zhao Guoqing could only let Shi Zheng sit with his back against a big tree, and he put his right hand on his heart, and continued to enter Shi Zheng's body through the golden needle.
This time is different from before, Zhao Guoqing was resuscitating the heartbeat for Shi Zheng, but this time he wanted to remove the toxins from his heart first. Once successful, the heart will be used as a transit mechanism to flow true qi through the blood to any part of the body.
This is the benefit of Zhao Guoqing's different operation of true qi, ordinary people's true qi can only rely on a certain path to operate in its meridians, and cannot really reach all parts of its body.
Through the blood, it is different, as long as there is a place where the human body has blood flowing, Zhao Guoqing's true qi can reach, and its speed is far faster than the true qi circulating in the meridians, and the scope involved is broader.
"Huh?" Zhao Guoqing frowned slightly, and found that the poison in Shi Zheng's body was completely different from the poison in the body of the Jingkong monk.
In other words, the poison in Shi Zheng's original was the same as that of the Jingkong monk, but later he didn't know how it mutated, and its toxicity became more active, which made Shi Zheng fall into a state of suspended animation in a short time.
Don't worry about it for now.
Zhao Guoqing began to detoxify Shizheng in his own way, perhaps because the toxins in Shizheng's body had changed, or the Nine Turns Emperor Dragon Heart and King Kong Yuanying had realized that Zhao Guoqing would use them to detoxify whether they wanted it or not, so this time the two behaved more cooperatively, and the toxins in Shizheng's body were resolved very smoothly.
On the other hand, Zhao Guoqing also gained benefits from the process of detoxification, that is, his cultivation has increased again, and the most obvious manifestation is that the meridian tree in his body is thicker than before.
"Oh." Shi Zheng let out a soft snort and let out a long breath of turbid qi in his body, but it no longer had the stench it had before.
"It's .." Shi Zheng opened his eyes and saw Zhao Guoqing sitting cross-legged in front of him, stunned, unable to touch his body at all, and then saw that the poison in his body had been resolved, and looked at Zhao Guoqing even more puzzled. "You saved me? Who are you? ”
Zhao Guoqing knew that his identity as a fake monk could never be concealed from Shi Zheng's eyes, so he said frankly: "Master Shi Zheng, don't be afraid, we are friends of Master Jingkong, and we are entrusted by him to come to save you." ”
"Quiet Sky, do you know Quiet Sky?" Shi Zheng frowned slightly, obviously still skeptical of Zhao Guoqing's words.
Zhao Guoqing saw that the other party didn't believe it, so he told him about the monk Jingkong he happened to meet on the road, including why Jingkong left Shaolin and how he brought Shizheng here.
Shi Zheng didn't believe it originally, but after hearing Zhao Guoqing say that the mission of Jingkong Departure was to find the abbot, this was to believe Zhao Guoqing, because this mission was extremely secret, and no third person knew about it except for him and Jingkong.
After listening to Zhao Guoqing's explanation, Shi Zheng hurriedly got up and saluted, and said sincerely: "Master Guo, thank you for saving your life to the poor monks, and beg Master Guo to save my Shaolin from fire and water!" ”
"You want me to detoxify the monks of Shaolin Temple?" Zhao Guoqing asked.
Shi Zheng nodded vigorously and said: "Since Master Guo can cure the poison on my body, he should be able to solve the poison on other people's bodies, and I also ask Master Guo Shi to give me a good antidote to poison!" ”
Zhao Guoqing smiled bitterly, thinking that this Shi Zheng and Jingkong were really masters and apprentices, and they actually had the same action after learning that they could detoxify, I don't know how they would feel after knowing their special detoxification method.
"Master Shi Zheng, since I am here, I will do my best to help Shaolin through the crisis." Zhao Guoqing first expressed his position to put Shi Zheng at ease, and then asked, "Master, I just found out that the poison in your body is different from the poison in Jingkong's body in the process of detoxifying you, it should be the reason for the mutation, are you trying the medicine yourself?" ”
Shi Zhengying said: "Yes." In order to develop the corresponding antidote, I only ate half of the enemy's antidote, and the remaining half was used for research. After unremitting efforts, I finally developed an antidote that is very similar to it, but it lacks a hint of medicine. ”
"What medicine?" Zhao Guoqing asked.
"A highly poisonous thing, I can't say why, but there must be this medicine to really exert the effect of the antidote." Shi Zheng smiled bitterly when he said this, and then said, "As the master of the grass hall, I naturally know a little about medical science, and I know that without that antidote to the medicine, it cannot be regarded as real success. Helplessly, there are so many people poisoned in Shaolin, and I am afraid that the situation will deteriorate further, so I made the move of trying the medicine in a hurry. To be honest, I don't expect the antidote I developed to really achieve the effect of detoxification, I only hope that it can temporarily suppress the poison in my body, so that I can have more time to study, who knows."
"On the contrary, the antidote you developed not only failed to detoxify or suppress, but instead caused the original toxin to mutate, producing a new and more deadly toxin!" Zhao Guoqing said in a deep voice.
Shi Zheng nodded vigorously and said, "That's exactly the case. ”
Zhao Guoqing shook his head and sighed lightly, this is the danger of testing medicine. Master Shi Zheng's ability to have such a fearless spirit of self-sacrifice reflects his side of being a monk.
