Chapter Twenty-Seven: Zhong Yunxiu's Decision (I)
In Yazo's view, absolute loyalty does not tolerate any tiny sand in it. The slightest opportunity is enough to disintegrate everything. Poison is such an existence, in a healthy and intact body, only a very small amount of toxins are needed to destroy the body little by little, and finally like an apple that has been bitten by insects, it always has a shiny shell but the inside has long been rotten, and when people see that there is a real problem, in fact, it is already too late.
There are many strongholds in Nansha City, and there is an old man in the stronghold that makes Mizo the most impressive, this old man has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, nicknamed the Broken Leaf Knife, not to mention the strength in the Demon Sect, even if he looks at the rivers and lakes, he is also a first-class master, and he has the cultivation of the Seven Leaves Realm, but as a guest of the Demon Sect over the years, he feels that it is a little overkill. There are many people who think like this, such as an old steward who often complains that he can't be promoted, a noble lady whose husband died in a certain mission, of course, there is also a businessman who feels that the Demon Sect seems to be not very worthy of investment, and there is a spy who wants to climb up and just uses the Demon Sect as a springboard in his heart.
Gu Sanqiu's Zhao'an stronghold didn't take long. The old man with the knife was somewhat hesitant. But the noble lady became a concubine close to the housekeeper under Gu Sanqiu, thinking that joining the Desolate Moon Divine Sect would always have a more nourishing life, and there would be no need to be so resentful. And after the merchant learned that the Desolate Moon Divine Sect had the support of the God of Wealth Pavilion behind him, he joined the Desolate Moon Divine Sect without the slightest hesitation.
When he learned the information about that spy from Gu Sanqiu, Mizo finally figured out how to dismantle Zhong Yunxiu.
So, three hours ago, he found the spy who wanted to climb up and started his own little plan. People's hearts are difficult to govern, Mizo once heard that Buddhism crosses people to good, and the wicked people in this world can finally put down the butcher's knife. But Yazo firmly believes that people in this world, with a little touch, will reveal their evil nature.
After briefly talking about his plan, the young spy agreed without thinking much after seeing the conditions offered. In fact, among his companions, there was a man who was unwilling to be loyal to the Cult of the Wild Moon, and now he was tortured and bruised, and even his arm was cut off. After seeing this scene, he did not hesitate to swear allegiance to the Desolate Moon God Sect.
Yazo said at the time, "You'll be poisoned, but unlike those people, you'll be the least poisoned and you'll survive the longest, and in the end, I'll save you, giggles, but I'd like to see more interesting scenes." ”
The young man was puzzled and said, "Please make it clear to the adults, the little ones don't understand." ”
Yazo said, "What would you do if I told you that in addition to the one person I arranged would definitely die, there would be four others who would die, and I don't know who those four were, but it could be you, what would you do?" ”
Saying creepy words under an elegant smile, this young man asked himself that he had seen a lot of people, but the feeling that Mizo gave him was an evil that he had never seen before.
He didn't disappoint Yazo, and after a little thought, he said, "What do you mean that only four people can live?" ”
Mizo clapped his hands and said, "You are really smart, being a spy is a little wronged by you." That's right, only four people will survive, and I hope you will survive. See what I mean? ”
"Adults understand what they mean." The young man responded, his eyes fierce.
Whoever doesn't deserve to survive won't let him live.
Yazo didn't hear this, but he left satisfied. When you try to complete something and succeed, you suddenly destroy everything, and Mizo knows that in such a situation, no matter how calm Zhong Yunxiu is, it is impossible to return to his original state of mind. And this is not the worst way to do it.
The thing that made Mizo the most happy after the stronghold of Nansha City was recruited by Gu Sanqiu was probably that there was a little girl in the stronghold. The Demon Sect will also take in some orphans without parents, this little girl is one of them, when she sees the little girl, Mizo's innocent appearance makes the little girl less afraid, but the actions she makes are frightening to the child.
Mizo practiced three Gus, one was placed on the noble lady, and the other was planted in the little girl's body. He has always known that hypocrites in this world are not used to bullying children. But I have also been a child, and what I have experienced is worse than this.
When Zhong Yunxiu thought that Gu poison was a means of concealment, the young man killed the noblewoman. Then when the mood was uneasy, the Gu in the little girl's body was awakened by Mizo.
……
Zhong Yunxiu's hand holding the needle suddenly stopped, and Sang Ya's face originally returned to a hint of ruddyness, but at this time it appeared flushed, and more and more blood-red spots appeared on her skin.
Sang Ya groaned in pain, and a child who had thought he had been cured suddenly became extremely painful. Zhong Yunxiu had to stop treating the businessman, and for the first time, she felt a little hopeless.
Because she didn't take out the Gu worms, she couldn't save Sangya's life at all, and there was not much time left for her right now. The middle-aged businessman, as well as the old steward, as well as the young woman and another middle-aged man, also showed signs of poisoning, and it was too late to treat them.
The death of the noble lady and the Gu in Sang Ya's body made Zhong Yunxiu realize that maybe she would lose this duel, but what made her most uncomfortable was that she couldn't save Sang Ya. Unable to save more people.
Zhong Yunxiu's breathing suddenly became chaotic. At this moment, she knew that she should continue to save people, and she should not stop, but Sanya's pain made her unable to think.
"Doctor, that little girl has Gu in her body, leave her alone, you save the businessman in front of you, and then cure that strong man and me, you will win, won't you?" The young man said.
If there is anyone who Zhong Yunxiu does not want to save the most, it is the young man who spoke. was obviously the most free person to survive, but he killed the noblewoman, and now the words he said made Zhong Yunxiu feel even worse.
But the choice in front of Zhong Yunxiu, it seems that what this young man said, should be the best way, that sturdy middle-aged man, and the businessman are most likely to survive, if you don't care about Sang Ya's Gu at this time, don't waste time and let Sang Ya die, everything is still possible.
Zhong Yunxiu looked at Sang Ya, looking at the little girl's painful appearance, as if someone had ripped out the blood with a knife in her heart.
"Sister...... Sister, I'm ...... It hurts......" Sang Ya's voice was so subtle that she could barely hear it, but the pain in her voice still made Zhong Yunxiu feel distressed.
And the young man was still saying: "Doctor, the little girl can't survive, I think you better save the others first, this time doesn't wait for anyone, if you die two more, you won't be able to leave, right?" ”
The young man pointed to the young woman and said, "She's dying." The same goes for this old man. Doctor, if you can't take out the Gu worm, how can you save this little girl. Let her fend for herself. Doctor, if you lose this duel, you can't save us, there are still countless patients waiting to be treated outside, why bother to put everything in for a little girl? ”
What it means to win or lose against Mizo, Zhong Yunxiu has always been very clear
The merchant also said, "Doctor, I can give her family money, please save me." Although the festering wound has stopped, this merchant has suffered all these hardships, and he only wishes that he will be healed immediately.
Slowly, the second floor began to become noisy, whether it was a young man, an old housekeeper, or the businessman, they were all talking non-stop, and the content was nothing more than hoping that Zhong Yunxiu would make the most rational choice.
Zhong Yunxiu suddenly raised his head and glanced at Mizo, who was looking at all this in the dark.
All voices were fainted at this moment, the eager wails of the merchants, the harsh words of the young men, the merciless echo of the old butler. and even Sanya's painful moans. They all gradually became blurred, and Zhong Yunxiu could only hear a burst of laughter.
There are good and bad people in this world, good and evil, but in the eyes of the healer, everyone deserves to be redeemed. This is what Zhong Wanxin and his mother taught, Zhong Yunxiu has been believing in this sentence all these years, no matter how bad a person is, he has the right to be redeemed in the eyes of the doctor.
But when there is a moment, two kinds of people are waiting to be treated, and good people are destined to die, how to choose? Sang Ya is just a little girl, life has just begun, this world is not so beautiful, but only by living can she make up for the regrets that she has never seen and never felt, and only then can she wait for the beautiful things in life. But now, she is the one who is destined to die.
The grip is getting tighter and tighter.
I lost. Zhong Yunxiu suddenly thought that Mizo had won in the end. She valued the young man, the old butler, the merchant, the corner Mizo, and some people in this world took it for granted that the process of living was to fulfill themselves and sacrifice others, and they would never feel guilty. Or maybe there's nothing wrong with that, no one should give up their own life for the sake of someone else's. Did they just make what they thought was the right decision, to give up their chances of survival for a little girl who was going to die, and that it would be the same choice for everyone else? It may not be good or evil at all, but it is instinctive to make such a choice.
If you give up saving Sangya, there may still be a chance to win this duel, but in this life, I am afraid that I will not be able to forget the painful appearance of the little girl before she died, and I will always wonder if all people in this world are worthy of redemption?
Yazo looked at all this, and was as happy as if he had eaten honey, and he couldn't wait to dance with his hands. He was triumphant, as if he couldn't help but show off, you must not have thought that I would plant Gu worms on the youngest little girl. Naturally, he would not feel guilty for such a thing, and he would only feel joy and joy when he saw Zhong Yunxiu's expression. Time is running out, Mizo is waiting for Zhong Yunxiu to make a decision, whether Zhong Yunxiu intends to save others and continue to win this duel, or if he will be defeated and do nothing, for Yazo, the goal has been achieved. As for the final showdown, he didn't care at all. It was Zhong Yunxiu who won, and she only won by ignoring the life and death of a child.
Rules are only used by fools to restrain themselves, and Mizo has already abandoned all rules from the moment he casts the Gu. So in the end, he will naturally only act according to his own wishes. That's why he brought a medicine attendant with him. Where is Mizang going to test his medical skills with Zhong Yunxiu? He just wants to completely destroy Zhong Yunxiu.
"Little junior sister, what will you do? I want you to remind you that time is running out, little sister. If you want to save people, you have to do it as soon as possible, I don't plan to drag this duel for too long, if you hesitate, the rest of us will die, or is the little girl so cute that you want someone else to be buried with her? In this case, it's also very interesting, hahahahahaha......hahahaha
Mizo's unbridled smile resounded in the second layer, and after hearing Mizo's words, the others panicked even more. Zhong Yunxiu's breathing became more and more rapid, Sang Ya was about to die, she really wanted to save Sang Ya, but taking out the Gu worm from a little girl's body, if she didn't rely on the Liuyun Jue, she couldn't do it at all, because forcibly taking out the Gu worm would inevitably make the internal organs in Sang Ya's body be gnawed, and Sang Ya would die the same, and now, where did Zhong Yunxiu still have the slightest internal strength to exert the Liuyun Jue? When she was treating the young man with a broken arm, she used up all her internal strength and used her true yuan to forcibly operate the Flowing Cloud Technique. Now that she saves Sang Ya, she will no longer have any physical strength left, and she will even be in danger of her life.
If you don't save ......
She couldn't get past it. It would be nice if the cook was here, if only the shopkeeper was there, Zhong Yunxiu was a little helpless, and a sense of powerlessness arose, and the two people who worked hard to save were both killed directly or indirectly because of Gu poison, she didn't know what to do. Reason told her to give up on saving Sang Ya, but Sang Ya's painful cries rang in her ears. Watching a little girl being bitten to death by Gu worms, was she indifferent to save others?
What to do...... What to do......
Mizo looked at Zhong Yunxiu's appearance and knew that his goal had been achieved, no matter what kind of things this female doctor had experienced with the Molou Inn for most of the past half a year, in Mizo's opinion, she was still too tender after all. What he does best is break a person's will.
"Mother......" Sang Ya looked at the young woman.
Zhong Yunxiu was stunned, she knew that these nine people should know each other, but she didn't expect that Sang Ya and the maid were mother and daughter.
The young woman crawled over step by step, and finally came to Sang Ya's side with a lot of effort, she herself was also poisoned, but at this moment, where did she care about these poisons, the woman said: "Girl, save Sang Ya, she is still a child...... Grievances and grievances...... She shouldn't have been involved! ”
Zhong Yunxiu said in a trembling voice: "You are ...... Sanya's ...... Mother? ”
The woman shook her head and cried, "I'm just Miss's maid...... Ahem...... cough cough cough ...... Xingchen Sect often takes care of some children who are lost with their parents or have no one to want, Sang Ya is not my daughter, but I brought it up, Sang Ya is kind-hearted, girl, you can save her...... She's still too young...... Don't deserve to die here! ”
Zhong Yunxiu took a deep breath, she knew that this young woman had not lived long, but unlike the others, this woman never seemed to have called for help. Zhong Yunxiu thought that she had given up on herself, but now she realized that she just wanted to leave her opportunity to Sang Ya, a little girl.
Yes, at the very beginning, only this woman said a word for Sang Ya, imploring herself to unravel Sang Ya's poison.
Sang Ya shook her head at the young woman and said, "Mother...... Sangya hurts so much......"
Zhong Yunxiu looked at the scene in front of him and slowly calmed down.
When you are in a dilemma, you will always be anxious, but when you really make a choice, you will move forward until you get your own answer. When she saw the young woman snuggling up to Sang Ya, Zhong Yunxiu had already made her choice.
She recalled a conversation she had with her mother many years ago:
"Ah Xiu, do you know where the most amazing place of the healer is?"
"Mother, I know, it can drive away people's diseases."
"This is also one thing, Ah Xiu, you have to remember that when the patient finds you, your fate is connected, you don't know him, he doesn't know you, but he can entrust life and death to you. This is the most amazing thing about doctors, we have already received the trust of patients when facing them. The reason for trying to heal the sick is to repay that trust. ”
Zhong Yunxiu would remember this sentence many nights, but she was still young at those times, and before she met the shopkeeper, she had no way to learn medical skills, so Zhong Yunxiu never understood. It wasn't until the Northern War that she really felt it.
She faced countless unknown soldiers, who knew nothing about them, and these soldiers did not know anything about Zhong Yunxiu. But at the moment of their treatment, completely different destinies are intertwined.
It's the same now, Zhong Yunxiu suddenly felt a little ashamed, if he had a more pure attitude of wanting to treat someone, where would he hesitate?
Zhong Yunxiu has already made a decision.
Since the two choices left behind by Yazo were not what she wanted, she created a third option for herself.
She pierced the meridians on the merchant's right arm with a silver needle to suppress the toxin, and then she looked at the old man with the knife and said, "Uncle, can you do me a favor?" ”
The old man said: "Little girl, but it doesn't matter, your old life is saved by you, as long as you open your mouth, as long as the old man can do anything, he will definitely die." ”
Zhong Yunxiu said coldly: "I will treat Sang Ya and take out the Gu in her body, the old man is strong in martial arts, please help me watch the others, if someone does something behind his back......"
The old man said, "Girl doesn't need to say much, I already know what to do." ”
When did the silver needle in his hand turn into a sharp knife, Zhong Yunxiu said softly to Sang Ya: "Sang Ya, my sister will take out the Gu in your body, it may hurt a little, can you bear it?" ”
Sang Ya nodded and said, "Sister...... I'm not afraid ......."
Mizo looked at all this puzzled, he didn't expect Zhong Yunxiu to make such a choice, forcibly taking out the Gu worms is very likely to cause the Gu worms to backlash, and it will blur the flesh and blood of the little girl's internal organs, if it is not for the continuous self-healing of the Liuyun Jue, the little girl will definitely die.
But Zhong Yunxiu shouldn't have the slightest bit of internal strength to perform the trick of flowing clouds.
Zhong Yunxiu looked at Mizang in the dark and said, "I will win this duel!" ”
In addition to the Liuyun Jue, this female doctor of the inn also knows a forbidden technique of the Demon Sect. Before the battle against Yazo, she already knew that she would use all her means to defeat Yazo.
Flesh and blood are born of flesh and blood, Bai Beiming, as Chen Ling's personal doctor, his own realm is not high, but in terms of saving others, even Li Nianyun may not be able to reach it. Because the exercises used by Bai Beiming do not require too much internal strength, but need something more intuitive...... The corpse of a living person. Right now, there is the corpse of a living person.
In addition to the Liuyun Jue, among the exercises that Zhong Yunxiu knows, there is also the Great Heaven Creation Technique.
