Chapter XXXIV. After all, it is a man-made disaster
Lu Zhi has been a monk for many years, but so far, he has not really encountered any ghosts and supernatural things, so he actually doesn't believe much in Chen Mao's statement that he is disgusted with witches.
Although there are some mysterious martial arts that can do such incomprehensible things, they are not really first-class immortals and ghosts.
"Okay, let's go meet the official family first." He said.
"It's... It's good. Chen Mao nodded, and suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Daoist Qingzhi, what method do you know to drive away evil spirits and pray for blessings?" Why don't you give it a try? ”
Lu Zhi: "....." can't get over this, right?
At the moment, he didn't pay attention to Chen Mao, and just walked forward on his own.
The two came all the way to Zhao Xu's bedroom, and after letting the little yellow door of the gatekeeper enter the palace to report, the two were summoned by Zhao Xu.
"Chen Duzhi, Daoist Qingzhi, you are here."
"Official."
"Your Majesty is well?"
I saw Zhao Xu leaning on the bed with a slightly pale face, his brows furrowed slightly, and there was a hint of pain, and he really looked seriously ill.
Seeing Lu Zhi staring at Zhao Xu's face, Chen Mao couldn't help but ask him out loud, "How is it?" See what? Official, he is... Got entangled in something? ”
Lu Zhi just glanced at Chen Mao and ignored him, and then saluted Zhao Xu: "Official, can you let Poor Dao take the pulse for you?" ”
"Daoist Qingzhi is polite, please come forward directly."
Lu Zhi immediately stepped forward, raised his hand and put it on Zhao Xu's wrist, releasing a wisp of pure yang true qi that flowed through his meridians in his body.
"Qingzhi Daoist, how is it? Is my situation really serious? Seeing that Lu Zhi's expression was a little cautious, Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart.
Not only is it serious, Zhao Xu's internal organs in his body have already been depleted, if it weren't for the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor, who has been replenishing his vitality with precious medicines, I'm afraid that these Zhao Xu wouldn't even have the strength to get up.
However, Lu Zhi obviously would not tell the real situation, so as not to worry Zhao Xu.
So he didn't answer at first, but walked around the temple according to his spiritual sense, and then leaned down, formed five fingers into a claw, and pierced into the floor tile, pulling the whole tile out of the ground.
Looking at the insect repellent powder sprinkled under the floor tiles, which was made of realgar, lead and mercury powder, Lu Zhi had already determined what was going on with Zhao Xu's strange disease.
"Please rest assured, your illness is not a big deal, as long as you are transferred well, you can recover."
"Daoist Qingzhi, do you see where the official family's illness is?" Chen Mao asked.
Lu Zhi nodded: "It's poisoning." ”
"What?! Poisoning?! Chen Mao was instantly shocked.
Zhao Xu was also shocked: "Daoist Qingzhi, you said that I was poisoned?!" ”
Lu Zhi shook his head: "It doesn't have to be an intentional attempt to kill the official family... The disease is heavy metal poisoning, probably lead and mercury, and its pathogen comes from the underground of the palace, especially the part of the official bedroom, and the underground lead and mercury content can already affect the people in the palace. ”
From the moment he walked into Zhao Xu's bedroom, Lu Zhi felt uncomfortable, and at first he couldn't figure out what the reason was, until he saw Zhao Xu and carefully observed his symptoms, he reacted, it turned out that it was because of the excessive heavy metals here.
When Lu Zhi was still in modern times, a classmate accidentally ate mercury in the thermometer, which led to heavy metal poisoning, and Lu Zhi always remembered that incident very well, so Lu Zhi was able to judge that he should be heavy metal poisoning according to Zhao Xu's symptoms.
"Heavy metal poisoning?" Zhao Xu and Chen Mao obviously couldn't understand this term they hadn't heard, but the two of them were not stupid people, and their eyes subconsciously turned to the powder in the pit.
"Qingzhi Daoist, you mean. . . Can these insect repellent powders that prevent the breeding of snakes, insects, rodents and ants affect even people? ”
Insect repellent powder is poisonous, which Chen Mao and Zhao Xu also know, but what they don't know is that this thing can even affect people.
"This is nature, where you live, if the content of heavy metals in the ground, that is, lead and mercury is too high, the human body will also be affected, and over time there will even be symptoms of poisoning, and eventually internal organs will fail and die."
Hearing Lu Zhi's statement, Zhao Xu didn't know what he thought, his face suddenly became hideous, and his eyes released a fierce light that chose people to devour!
"I see! I replied, why did those 'humble gentlemen' suddenly care about the snakes and rats in the palace where I lived, I see!! ”
Zhao Xu's words seemed to mean something, and Chen Mao also whispered in Lu Zhi's ear: "Half a year ago, Lord Taifu proposed to the official family in the court, saying that there were too many snakes, insects, rats and ants in the palace, and when he entered the palace, he saw a poisonous snake crawling over the beam..."
Lu Zhi understood in an instant, but he didn't show anything on his face.
This kind of matter of monarchs and ministers has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't want to pay attention to it at all.
"Official." Lu Zhi said loudly, "Your body can no longer live in this palace, it is best to move out of the palace as soon as possible, and then send someone to clean up the lead and mercury in this palace while recuperating your body..."
After Zhao Xu took a few breaths, his mood finally calmed down a little.
"Thank you Daoist Qingzhi for the reminder, I will move to the Duanwang Mansion tonight."
Lu Zhi nodded: "In this case, the poor road will be relieved... The poor road retreated first. ”
He could understand with his fingers that Zhao Xu would definitely have a storm next, but he didn't want to pay attention to this matter at all, so it was better to leave quickly.
"It's good... I didn't feel well, so I didn't get up to see Qingzhi Dao Chang. ”
"If the official family is in love, it's good for the poor road to leave by itself."
Sure enough, Lu Zhi only walked out of the dormitory a few steps before he faintly heard Zhao Xu's suppressed roar.
"Chen Mao! Immediately give me a thorough investigation of the matter! ”
Multiply.. Lu Zhi shook his head secretly, it seems that in Bianliang City tomorrow, I am afraid that many people will die...
After leaving the palace, Lu Zhi went back to the school bookstore directly, and for two days, Lu Zhi never went out again.
Then it wasn't until noon on the third day that Chen Mao came to the door and asked him to go to Duanwang's mansion to heal Zhao Xu.
On the way, Lu Zhi asked Chen Mao curiously: "How is it?" That Master Taifu, has it been solved? ”
Chen Mao nodded: "It's all settled, but no one who is involved in this matter has been left behind!" ”
"Seriously, you really should go to the morning court today to see what kind of expression that Taifu has on his face... The official ordered that there were many snakes, insects, rats and ants in the Taifu Mansion, so he asked the guards to dig up all the insect repellent drugs buried in the underground of the palace and bury them in the Taifu Mansion..."
Lu Zhi raised his eyebrows, this is really... This Zhao Xu is also bad, and he actually came up with this way to retaliate back.
However, this matter has little to do with him, and he inquired about it curiously, and after hearing about it, he stopped paying attention to it.
The two of them were not slow, and it didn't take long for them to come to Duanwang's mansion and see Zhao Xu.
Seeing Zhao Xu again, the complexion on his face was undoubtedly much better, after all, he was no longer in the environment where the heavy metals exceeded the standard all the time, and the poisoning symptoms would naturally not continue to worsen.
After combing the meridians in Zhao Xu's body with pure yang true qi and one yang finger, Zhao Xu bluntly said that his body was much more comfortable, and after drinking the medicine, he fell asleep directly.
And Lu Zhi also lived in Duanwang's mansion, mainly because Chen Mao had to pull him to stay.
After all, the Duanwang Mansion is no bigger than the Imperial Palace, and the garrison force must be much weaker, so it is undoubtedly a good thing to have such a master as Lu Zhi here.
In the early morning of this day, Lu Zhi was cultivating.
I saw him sitting facing the east, while his hands were sealed, he held his breath and meditated, and outside his body, there was a hidden golden light flowing!
'Heaven and Earth Xuanzong, Wan Qi Root, Extensive Cultivation of Ten Thousand Tribulations, Prove My Divine Power...'
While reciting the golden light mantra in his heart, he contemplated the golden sun, and slowly, a wisp of golden aura that could be clearly seen with the naked eye rose from outside his body, and then gradually spread and solidified...
After obtaining the cultivation method of this Golden Light Divine Mantra, Lu Zhi had been practicing for nearly half a month, and until today, he could barely be regarded as an official entry.
After a long time, Lu Zhi opened his eyes and exhaled a long white arrow, but there was a look of exhaustion on his face.
This Golden Light Divine Mantra was still a little too reluctant to cultivate, and every time he practiced it, it would consume a lot of his true qi and spirit, but it could not be used as a means of fighting the enemy at all.
After all, condensing the golden light on the surface of his body would almost consume most of his true qi, let alone use it against the enemy.
If you can only use the power of one blow, you might as well use ordinary kung fu.
