Chapter 250
The first thing that popped out from under the leaf was a long black foot with pinprick-like bristles on it, and it looked like the long legs of a spider.
Then a pair of wings appeared, with a crimson pattern on the silver wings, which looked very weird, but there was a kind of amazing beauty.
Su Jinyao narrowed her eyes and let go of the hand she had been pressing. The blades of grass shook a few times again, and then they fell apart with a "poof", and at first glance it looked as if it had been torn from the inside.
Then, everyone saw the true face of the Divine Gu King, which turned out to be a giant ant with long legs and bristles and a pair of silver wings.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a giant ant, because an ant with wings means that it is qualified to be an ant queen or queen, and its size is much larger than that of ordinary worker ants.
But this black ant not only has a pair of silver-red wings, but also has long legs, which are larger than ordinary spiders from head to leg. And the belly of this giant ant is bulging, and its tentacles are swinging wildly, revealing a fierce look.
Su Jinyao knew that ants were actually difficult to deal with. In nature, encountering man-eating ants is a life-or-death affair, and it is definitely more dangerous than encountering a cheetah.
This giant ant had now transformed into a Divine Gu King, and its power made Su Jinyao gasp.
Just when Su Jinyao was pondering how to deal with this giant ant god Gu King, the giant ant's tentacles stopped swinging, but turned his head and crawled directly towards Su Jinyao.
The blood on Su Jinyao's hands was still low, and the reason why she let her blood flow out was to attract this difficult God Gu King, hoping to tame it with her own blood.
Another reason is that her (shēn) body has been carefully conditioned by Zhu Xinsuo with medicine, and she has been raising the Divine Gu King, so it has a miraculous effect on Gu poison. She hoped to rely on the volatilization of blood qi to dilute the poisonous smoke released by the giant ants just now.
If it weren't for Su Jinyao's blood, it is estimated that Gu Xuebin and Aunt Ma would have been poisoned and fell to the ground.
In the air, a faint blood qi drifted out, and Gu Xuebin's heart was also throbbing. But now he can't do anything (qíng) except silently guarding.
Finally, the giant ant began to crawl towards Su Jinyao's dripping blood. It wasn't until the small puddle of blood in the corner of the table that he stopped cautiously, poked out a foot, and stepped on the blood.
"Goo" The little chubby god Gu King in Su Jinyao's hand screamed, struggling to try to climb down. In its eyes, Su Jinyao's blood belongs to it, and it can't be occupied by this guy who looks black.
Su Jinyao hurriedly dripped two drops of blood to it, and then used her mind to quiet it, and then while the giant ant was still hesitating, she took out a medicine bottle, and in the center of that pool of blood, there were some brown medicine powders.
A strange fragrance came, and the giant ant finally couldn't help but crawl into the bloodstains, and went directly to eat the blood-stained medicine. When it was eating in a big gulp, Su Jinyao stopped the blood from the wound in her palm.
Gu Xuebin hurriedly came over, handed over a handkerchief, pressed Su Jinyao on the wound, and then said softly: "Is it safe now?" ”
Su Jinyao said: "It's still a little close, and when it's finished, you can know the (qíng) condition." But it will take a long time to completely subdue it. ”
Su Jinyao would not tell Gu Xuebin that the method to use to raise Gu worms was to feed Gu worms with his own blood (ròu). However, the Divine Gu King was not so easy to encounter. She doesn't usually raise Gu, and occasionally she can get a Divine Gu King refined by others, which is equivalent to picking up a big leak.
The giant ant gulped down, Su Jinyao glanced at it, and then looked at the queen mother who was concentrating as if she was looking at a diorama, and asked with concern: "Grandmother (nǎi) (nǎi), is your (shēn) son okay?" Does it hurt badly? ”
The Queen Mother came back to her senses, shook her head and said, "Little girl, my heart is beating when I see your trick of this trick, how can I care about the pain." What's the matter with this ant? ”
"It's not a trick, it's still dangerous." Su Jinyao said, looked at the giant ant that was still eating there, and after making sure that it would have any changes for a while, she walked over to check the pulse of the Queen Mother.
Aunt Ma also hurriedly asked, "How is it?" It's been several hours, is the Queen Mother's poison a little better? ”
Su Jinyao looked up at Aunt Ma and shook her head silently. But then he pointed to the giant ant on the table and said, "But fortunately, we have found the best antidote." ”
"Can it make medicine?" Aunt Ma was also pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly said: "Great, it's still the Queen Mother, you are auspicious, I thought it wouldn't be so easy, but now I finally have the blessing of the Bodhisattva, and I can prepare an antidote for the Queen Mother." ”
Su Jinyao suddenly felt that this Aunt Ma was really good at talking. In Su Jinyao's opinion, it is not unreasonable for Aunt Ma to be able to serve by the Queen Mother's (shēn) and win the trust of the Queen Mother. These beautiful words are really just right.
When the Queen Mother listened to Aunt Ma's words, she looked at Su Jinyao and asked her, "Little girl, do you say that this antidote is so easy to prepare?" ”
Su Jinyao thought for a moment and said truthfully: "Back to Grandmother (nǎi) (nǎi), the giant ant on the table is also a Divine Gu King, even more powerful than the one I raised. If its poison is used to prepare an antidote, the effect is significant. But now the question is whether it will work for me at all. It ate my blood, and this is only the first step, but its owner must have spent more effort refining it to this extent, and I have to take it halfway, how can it be so easy? ”
After listening to Su Jinyao's "big truth", the Queen Mother did not look angry, but said to Aunt Ma: "Aunt Ma, did you hear me?" This little girl knows it in her heart, and she doesn't lie, her words are very pertinent. ”
Aunt Ma immediately nodded and replied, "Yes, Aunt Ma knows." In the future, you have to be careful when you speak, not only to pick good words, but also to tell the truth. ”
The queen mother smiled "hehe", but after laughing twice, her face changed again, and beads of sweat continued to emerge from her forehead.
Su Jinyao knew that it was the Gu worm in the Queen Mother's body that was dying again, competing with the blood medicine she had refined. At this time, there is no particularly good way, but to continue to perform acupuncture and let the acupuncture (xué) relieve the pain.
When Su Jinyao suppressed the Gu worms in the Queen Mother's body, the little chubby and obedient God Gu King she raised flapped her wings suddenly, raised her brain shell and looked at the giant ant.
At the same time, Gu Xuebin, who had been staring at the giant ant on the table, also let out a gasp, and then called in a low voice, "Jin Yao, come and see." ”
Su Jinyao motioned to Aunt Ma to help the Queen Mother lie down, and she walked quickly to the table, and saw that the giant ant had already eaten all the bloodstained medicine. Now it's like I'm drunk, and I'm staggering up on the table.
Because its feet were stained with a lot of blood that had not yet dried up, the place where it crawled left blood marks on the table, which looked shocking.
And what Gu Xuebin was surprised was not the blood stains on the table, but the giant ant swaying and running while still spinning silk. It's like a silkworm spinning silk, leaving not only blood marks everywhere it goes, but also a tiny silver thread.
"That's a good thing." Su Jinyao was pleasantly surprised, explaining: "This silver filament is also a toxin in its body. It's just that for some of its Gu worms' favorite elixirs, it is now repaying me with the purest poisonous silk in the way of spinning silk. ”
Gu Xuebin didn't (jìn) said curiously: "Gu worms still know how to reciprocate?" ”
Su Jinyao said: "Of course." Gu worms also have spirit (xìng), which can communicate with the master's mind. This Divine Gu King is so well raised, he must be very smart. So it knows that it can't eat my good things in vain, so it has to repay me with something. It is estimated that its original owner was also like this, and he got a lot of benefits from it. You must know that although the Gu poison is violent, the method of fighting poison with poison has been tried and tested repeatedly, as long as it is used well, poison is the best medicine. ”
While speaking, Su Jinyao took out a cow hair gold needle from the red rope on her wrist, gently brushed it with her fingers, straightened it and used the gold needle to pick out the silver wire left on the table.
The silver filaments spit out by the giant ants are thicker than spider silk, but not as tough as spider silk, and they break with a slight pick. Su Jinyao picked it up little by little, took a teacup from Gu Xuebin's hand, and put the silver filament she had collected into the cup. This is a delicate job, and it is tiring to watch, but Su Jinyao is tired of it.
The giant ant also spun around a few times, shook for a while, and then stopped. Su Jinyao took out a bamboo tube, pulled out the plug on it, carefully pushed the giant ant into the bamboo tube with a golden needle, and then covered the stopper, and then let out a sigh of relief.
Gu Xuebin saw that Su Jinyao finally relaxed, and a stone fell to the ground. Then he asked Su Jinyao, "Jinyao, what should I do next?" How else can I help you? ”
Su Jinyao pointed to the blood stains on the table and said, "Wipe this off, it looks weird and disgusting." Then he held the teacup in his hand and said, "With these poisonous threads, preparing the antidote is equivalent to getting twice the result with half the effort." ”
After speaking, Su Jinyao looked at the Empress Dowager on the phoenix (chuáng) and said with a smile: "Now I can really say that thanks to the emperor's grandmother (nǎi) (nǎi) your Hongfu, the antidote is really there." It seems that the Bodhisattva is indeed helping you, and your goodwill Bodhisattva has seen it in his eyes, and now he has sent you the elixir to remove the Gu poison. ”
When Aunt Ma said these words just now, the Queen Mother also warned her to be pertinent. But now that Su Jinyao said, the Queen Mother actually laughed and said, "Little girl, what you said about this palace is really (ài) listen." But this palace feels that this blessing is not a single person in this palace, and your little girl can also bring good fortune to others. ”
Su Jinyao hurriedly thanked her, she would not exceed the etiquette. She knew very well that the Empress Dowager was polite to her with a smile was mostly because she was a disciple of the divine doctor, and she was doing her best to detoxify her (shēn).
But it is impossible to say that the queen mother can have much joy for her, a little girl from a mountain village who has only met once.
Aunt Ma hurriedly rounded the field next to her and said, "Since there is such a good thing, it is really a bodhisattva's grace." ”
Su Jinyao looked at the window, and through the window paper, she could see the slightly white sky. Then he said: "It's almost dawn, I'll take off the needle from my grandmother's (nǎi) position, and you can have a good rest." I will prepare the antidote as soon as possible, and as soon as the antidote arrives, your Gu poison can be completely removed. After speaking, Su Jinyao went over to pull out the needle for the Queen Mother.
Acupuncture is a delicate work, and every needle is paid attention to the stability and accuracy of the technique; Moreover, the flexibility of the wrist (xìng) and the depth of force control will affect the effect of the needle.
The same is true for needle extraction, each needle cannot be pulled out and finished, but it must be used back according to the order and strength of the initial acupuncture, so that the needle can be successfully extracted.
The thirteen gold and silver needles were pulled out, and the queen mother's watch (qíng) changed again, but then she let out a sigh of relief, apparently enduring the pain again. It can be seen that the Queen Mother's endurance is also amazing, at least it proves that her self-control ability is particularly strong, and this level of pain cannot make her lose her proper demeanor.
The Empress Dowager also breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Su Jinyao: "Little girl, I see that you are really attentive when you treat this palace, why don't you stay for the time being and live in the partial (diàn) next door to this palace." When the time comes, whether it is dispensing medicine or acupuncture, you will be closer and convenient. Gu Xuebin heard the Queen Mother say that she wanted to leave Su Jinyao behind, and she was in a hurry, and she stepped forward to say something, but was stopped by Su Jinyao's eyes.
Gu Xuebin was in a hurry to come out just now, and he had already expressed his intentions, and saying anything more at this time would not be the icing on the cake, but might make the Queen Mother more misunderstood, or make her unhappy.
Su Jinyao stopped Gu Xuebin, and she nodded and smiled at the Empress Dowager, "Thank you grandmother (nǎi) (nǎi) for your trust, then I'll stay." Anyway, I'm not allowed to dispense medicine at Yazhu's side. ”
Regarding the fact that a eunuch came to tell Su Jinyao that she was not allowed to decoct medicine without permission, Su Jinyao was skeptical. What she really thinks is that she hasn't been trusted yet, so she can't decoct medicine for the Queen Mother.
Now that the Queen Mother directly opened her mouth to leave her, and said that it was for the convenience of treatment, it was logical for Su Jinyao to propose to decoct the medicine herself.
This time, the queen mother did not object, but said to Aunt Ma: "You go and arrange it, and see what medicinal materials and tools you need to use, and send them over." ”
"Yes." Aunt Ma nodded in agreement, and then said, "I'll do this early in the morning, now let's wait for the Queen Mother to rest." It's been a night, and (shēn) is the most important. ”
The Empress Dowager nodded, and then said to Gu Xuebin: "Che'er should go back too." If it's okay, you don't have to come to visit, Miss Liu stays here, I won't let people bully her. ”
With the words of the Queen Mother, what else can Gu Xuebin say? I had to look at Su Jinyao again, and then I said goodbye to the queen mother and left Yining Palace.
Gu Xuebin left, and Aunt Ma fell asleep serving the Queen Mother, so she came over to take Su Jinyao to the diàn.
Yining Palace covers an area of not small, and there are several partial rooms (diàn) next to a palace. At this time, some of the partial (diàn) doors had been opened, and I saw the palace maids and attendants cleaning in and out.
Aunt Ma said to Su Jinyao: "This Yining Palace is one positive (diàn) and four partial (diàn), at this time, two partial (diàn) rooms are already living in the little master, one is the fourth prince you saw during the day, and the other is a girl outside the palace like you." This girl is the empress dowager's favorite niece and granddaughter, and according to (shēn), it is time to be crowned a county lord. This time, the queen mother was seriously ill, so she lived in the palace to relieve the queen mother's boredom, and by the way, she was also waiting for the queen mother's marriage. ”
When Aunt Ma spoke, she deliberately bit the word "finger marriage" very hard, and looked at Su Jinyao and smiled slightly after speaking.
Su Jinyao was so smart that she immediately understood what Aunt Ma meant, and what she didn't say. At the same time, I also understood the reason why the Queen Mother kept her here.
It is estimated that the Queen Mother has already seen Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin's actions. In fact, as long as you are not too stupid, you can see Gu Xuebin's feelings (qíng) towards Su Jinyao.
Then, one is the crown prince who is high, and the other is a village girl in the countryside, even if Su Jinyao is a disciple of the divine doctor, and can treat Gu poison for the queen mother, at most, she will get a lot of rewards.
But if Su Jinyao is allowed to walk into the gate of the royal family and sit in the position of the crown princess, it will be impossible.
And Aunt Ma must have understood what the queen mother meant, and took Su Jinyao to this side, deliberately saying this, just to remind Su Jinyao to know that even a county lord who has not yet been titled has to wait for the queen mother to marry, and Gu Xuebin, the crown prince, has nothing to say.
In other words, will the county lord be waiting...... The queen mother pointed out that it was not necessary for her to be Gu Xuebin's crown princess.
Thinking of this, Su Jinyao's heart churned twice, and she became more aware of the importance (xìng) of her own (shēn) share.
Thinking about Helian Ruozhi (shēn) capital, stepping into the gate of the royal family, and being able to become a princess, the efforts made are naturally not to be underestimated.
And if Helian is the number one businesswoman in the world, how far can he go to get the sense (qíng) he wants?
When Aunt Ma saw Su Jinyao slightly distracted, she knew that this little girl was very thoughtful, and she must have understood what she meant. He stopped talking, but took Su Jinyao to a partial (diàn).
This room is much larger than Yazhu, and it is extremely luxuriously furnished. From the mahogany luodian tables and chairs, to the blue splendid tablecloths and curtains, all of them are meticulously crafted. It is estimated that the splendid flowers on that curtain are enough for a delicate embroiderer to embroider for half a month. There was also a thick woolen carpet on the floor in the house, which was soft and soft to step on, and there was no sound at all.
But Su Jinyao was not interested in this kind of gorgeous decoration, in her opinion, the comfort here was not as good as that of Yazhu.
Those delicate and rich furnishings, complicated and heavy embroidery, can not be seen and eaten, but dazzling people are dazzling, unrealistic.
Aunt Ma smiled and said, "Although this place is a little smaller, the things in the house are all newly replaced." It was the place where the queen mother kept her before the last county lord married in the Western Regions. You have a good rest here, and I will still call Xi Shen'er and let her serve you. ”
