Chapter 228: A Shocking Secret (Part II)
What does it mean for a silver needle to turn black? This point is clear to Jiang Xia, and I believe everyone who has watched martial arts dramas is also clear.
That means that Zhu Houzhao has accumulated toxins in his body, and the toxins have accumulated a lot.
Ghost Sanzhen exhaled slightly, then straightened up and said, "Okay, the wind and cold he contracted should be fine, and it will be fine after tonight." ”
Jiang Xia didn't answer, but looked at the ghost three needles with a questioning look, and the meaning of that look naturally understood the ghost three needles.
He carefully wrapped the three silver needles in a silk handkerchief and put them into his arms, and then sighed: "Let him rest for a while, and we will go out and talk." ”
Jiang Xia followed the ghost three needles out of the room without saying a word.
Lang Zhong of the medical hall immediately greeted him with a smile when he saw the ghost three needles walking out of the room, Lang Zhong saluted the ghost three needles, and said politely: "Presumably Your Excellency is the merry ghost doctor and the ghost three needles ghost god doctor, right?" ”
Ghost Sanzhen glanced at Lang Zhong, chuckled lightly and didn't talk to him, and walked out of the hospital directly, leaving Lang Zhong with an embarrassed face.
Ghost Sanzhen and Jiang Xia found a teahouse opposite the medical hall and sat down, and Jiang Xia asked for a pot of Biluochun and a few ordinary pastries and snacks. After Xiao Er brought the things to the table, Jiang Xia lifted the teapot and poured a cup of tea for the ghost three needles.
"Who is he?" The ghost asked abruptly.
Jiang Xia glanced at the ghost three needles and replied flatly, "My brother." ”
"I'm asking about his identity." The ghost three needles looked directly into Jiang Xia's eyes, as if he would not give up without asking the answer.
Jiang Xia poured himself a cup of tea, and after taking a sip, Jiang Xia said, "Divine doctor, please forgive me for not being able to tell you." But I can tell you that knowing his identity is absolutely not good for you. ”
Ghost Sanzhen looked at Jiang Xia in a daze, and the two fell into silence.
After a long time, the ghost three needles took out the three silver needles wrapped in silk handkerchiefs from his bosom. When I took out the silver needle and put it in the teacup, the tea suddenly turned a deep purple color. A faint fragrance wafted out of the tea, making people feel refreshed and very comfortable when they smelled it.
Ghost Sanzhen frowned slightly and said: "This poison is called Absolute Eye Grass, it is a very rare poison, I used to think that this poison has been extinct, but I didn't expect to encounter it again today." ”
"What does this poison do?" Jiang Xia hurriedly asked.
"If a small amount is taken by people, it can interrupt the power of incense, and gradually encroach on the strange tendons and veins of the person who takes poison, so that the slightest illness will deteriorate sharply, so that his illness will fall like a mountain, making the medicine stone useless."
What the ghost three needles said is a bit difficult to understand, but in fact, it is simply a chronic poison that is taken in small amounts and continuously. He can make people unable to have offspring, and can destroy people's immune function and resistance, so that the slightest illness in life will immediately become very serious.
After hearing this, a heavy thought flashed in Jiang Xia's heart.
He was strange from the beginning, Zhu Houzhao didn't dance with knives and sticks on weekdays, although his kung fu was not high, his body was stronger than ordinary people. In addition, he has been practicing Tongzigong for almost a year, so he shouldn't have caught such a bad cold when he soaked in the river water.
Now Jiang Xia finally understands that Zhu Houzhao is the reason why the body's immune function and resistance are very low. At the same time, he also understood what were the reasons for the two major mysteries in history that Zhu Houzhao had not been able to solve.
People who are familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty have always had two questions when they read about the Zhengde Dynasty, one is why Zhu Houzhao is healthy, and he has been fortunate that many women have no heirs to inherit the throne in the end. The second is for what Zhu Houzhao just accidentally fell into the water and died.
It turned out that all this was because someone had been poisoning Zhu Houzhao. The poor second child always thought that he had no heirs because of the cultivation of the Imperial Maiden's Heart Sutra, but it turned out that he was already highly poisonous.
"Such a rare poison cannot be obtained unless it is a person of noble status. And your brother has been poisoned deeply, and it seems that people close to him have been poisoning him all along.
Poisoning a person in such a vicious, step-by-step manner shows that this person's plan is not small, and it also shows that your brother's identity is not ordinary. Ghost Sanzhen said slowly.
Jiang Xia frowned, he kept thinking in his heart about who had the motive and had the opportunity to poison Zhu Houzhao.
The people who can poison him for so long must be the people he is close to, and the people who have been with him for a long time.
Jiang Xia listed the names of many people in his heart, including Liu Jin and Zhang Yong, who often followed him. In addition, many people in the harem of the palace are also on Jiang Xia's suspicion list, and there is even a person who no one dares to suspect, and Jiang Xia also puts him on the suspicion list.
Jiang Xia thought for a while and said to the ghost three needles: "Divine doctor, I promise you, when the time comes, I will tell you the identity of my brother, but it is definitely not now, please forgive me." ”
"Whatever you want, I'm suddenly not interested in knowing it." Ghost Sanzhen got up, "You asked me to give your brother a needle to dispel the wind and cold, and I have already done this." Everyone is clear, and we will say goodbye first. ”
Ghost San hugged Jiang Xia and prepared to leave.
Jiang Xia hurriedly stopped him: "Divine doctor, please stay!" ”
Ghost Sanzhen turned around and looked at Jiang Xia: "Anything else?" ”
"How to cure the poison of the Absolute Grass?" Jiang Xia looked at the ghost three needles and asked.
Ghost Sanzhen looked at Jiang Xia with a smile and said, "You really care about your brother, my intuition tells me that this whole thing is not simple, are you sure you want to get involved?" ”
"In the whole Ming Dynasty, there are not many people who I regard as relatives, and he is one of them." Jiang Xia said seriously.
After hearing this, Ghost Sanzhen nodded, and sighed: "It's not a secret, with the amount of toxins accumulated in his body now, it is beyond the weight that ordinary people can bear, and I can't solve the poison in his body with my medical skills for the time being, unless you can find my senior brother Hundred Herb King." ”
"Herb King?" Jiang Xia's mind turned, and he suddenly remembered that he had seen an introduction about this person in the information collected by the royal dragon detectives, so he asked: "Do you mean that Chang Baicao, the king of the hundred herbs, who originally built a medical hall in the Hundred Grass Valley and collected disciples to develop all kinds of miraculous medicines to help the world and save people, but was attacked by the mysterious sect and killed all the disciples in the Hundred Grass Valley, and then his whereabouts are unknown?" ”
"That's right." Ghost Sanzhen nodded: "Since that incident, the whereabouts of the senior brother are unknown, and I don't know where he is now." ”
Jiang Xia thought for a moment and asked, "Can the divine doctor draw me a portrait of the Medicine King?" ”
Ghost Sanzhen looked at Jiang Xia carefully a few times, and then nodded. Jiang Xia asked the shopkeeper of the teahouse to come to the four treasures of the study, and the ghost three needles picked up the pen and began to paint.
It didn't take long for the ghost three needles to outline the facial contours of the Hundred Herb King. This ancient technique of painting human figures is god-like, not as easy to identify as sketches. However, the ghost three needles were obviously a person with Danqing skills, and after he finished painting, Jiang Xia looked at the painting with a frown.
I don't know what Lu Dao is, Jiang Xia always felt that the portrait painted on the painting looked a little familiar to him, but he just couldn't remember who it was.
Jiang Xia went over the people he knew one by one, and suddenly he blurted out: "Uncle Yi? ”
"Huh?" Ghost Sanzhen frowned slightly and looked at Jiang Xia, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Jiang Xia tentatively asked the ghost three needles: "Divine doctor, what do you think of the name 'Yi Crab'?" ”
After hearing this, Ghost Sanzhen thought for a moment, and he muttered in his mouth: "Yi Crab, Yi Crab, Ye Fangyu, sister-in-law?" ”
Ghost Sanzhen suddenly grabbed Jiang Xia's hand excitedly and asked, "Where did you say that Yi Crab was there?" Is he in his forties, and he seems to be very kind and friendly? What was he doing when you met him? ”
"He's selling wontons" Jiang Xia said secretly in his heart, damn, it's not such a coincidence, right? At night, I met an uncle who was the king of herbs?
"Selling ravioli? Crab? Oni Sanzhen suddenly laughed, and then he laughed louder and louder, and after laughing to the fullest, he couldn't help but keep slapping the table.
After laughing, Ghost San said to Jiang Xia: "The person you saw is probably my senior brother, Yangcheng Lake hairy crab and Fujian Yanni wonton happen to be the two things that my dead sister-in-law likes to eat." Where is the 'Easy Crab' now? Can you take me to meet him? ”
"I am in charge of my mansion, but my mansion is in Beijing." Jiangxia Road.
"Be a steward in your house? Capital? Ghost Sanzhen looked at Jiang Xia with a puzzled expression, and after a long time, he tried to ask: "Childe, forgive me for asking too much, did your ancestors practice medicine?" Is there any magic medicine in the mansion? ”
Fly the phoenix! Jiuyang Dan!
Jiang Xia suddenly understood a little at this time, if he hadn't figured it out at the beginning, if Yi Crab was the king of herbs, then why did he want to approach him.
Now, after being reminded by the ghost three needles, Jiang Xia suddenly understood that the King of Hundred Herbs, who had been developing medicines all his life, must have taken a fancy to the miraculous curative effects of Feifeng Pill and Jiuyang Pill, so he wanted to get close to himself in order to get the pills of those two pills for research.
It didn't take Jiang Xia to answer, the ghost three needles had already gotten the answer from Jiang Xia's sudden eyes. He suddenly smiled and asked, "Childe, let me ask one more question, where are you and your brother going?" ”
"Yangzhou." Jiang Xia said, and after finishing speaking, he added: "But I want to hurry back to Jingshi now to see if Uncle Yi in my house is really the predecessor of the Medicine King, and if so, I will ask him to help me heal my brother." ”
"No, you don't." Ghost Sanzhen picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp, as if he was in a good mood. "It just so happens that Feng Chaohuang's ship is also going to Yangzhou, if the son does not dislike it, he will take Brother Ling to Yangzhou with me, on the way, I will first help your brother with acupuncture and moxibustion to force the toxins from the strange tendons and eight veins to the dantian, and then when I return to Jingshi to find my senior brother, he only needs to prescribe the right medicine, I believe it will not be long before Brother Ling can be cured."
The proposal of the ghost three needles is naturally the best, first, you can go to Yangzhou to explore Yangzhou Yanzheng, and second, you can heal Zhu Houzhao, which is simply the best to kill two birds with one stone.
Jiang Xia nodded hurriedly and said, "That's very good." ”
