Chapter 107: Xiangxi Gu Poison
I gave my sister and sister a look, each holding a bundle of scriptures, and then followed me out. Several Taoist children also carried two bundles of scriptures each and followed behind.
Loaded the car, it was already dark. Saying goodbye to Daotong, we drove back overnight.
In the car, Xiaolan touched the smooth rhino horn and asked, Senior brother, how did you get this treasure? I said I wasn't lying, walked straight over with my eyes closed, picked it up and went downstairs.
Then he took out the bundle of bamboo slips from his arms and handed them over. Su Yun took it and said what is this? I said I didn't understand it either, so I took it out when I looked good.
When I returned to the parking lot of Nanzhenguan in the evening, I called back to the temple to see that the juniors and disciples were doing evening classes. Ask the juniors and disciples to come and move the books, and I will go directly to the master. I gave the bamboo slips and rhinoceros horn to the master, and walked out, feeling so hungry!
My sister over there was telling me to eat, and after a day of hunger, I was finally able to eat a hot meal. Now the old farmer manages the canteen and sends a few juniors to help with the kitchen every day.
When the old farmer saw that we had almost eaten, he dried his hands and sat down. Ask me how it tastes? I said it was delicious! Thank you so much for coming back so late and still having a hot meal.
The old farmer smiled and said that when he finishes cleaning up, he will play a few games of chess with your master, and then he can sleep! I said that it's good to have you with my master, I have to let Xiaolan give you a salary increase!
He said hey, don't use that, now I have a single room to live in, and there is food, and here is to support the elderly. Sweep the yard every day, do hygiene, how can you find such a good day!
After a few polite words, I saw that he was a little speechless and stopped, and said Uncle, you have something to say directly, see if I can help you solve it?
The old farmer sighed and said that he had a granddaughter who had just picked up the baby. She was at home with the children, and for some reason, she often coughed up phlegm during this time.
Coughing up phlegm? Isn't there a hospital? He said that the People's Hospital visited the People's Hospital for a week, but it did not work. The traditional Chinese medicine hospital grabbed medicine for a few more days, but it didn't get better.
What kind of disease is this? Is Chinese and Western medicine not good?
The old farmer said, "Decades ago, your master saved me, and now you and I are good friends." However, your master is in his eighties, and my granddaughter is in another county, so I don't dare to trouble him.
What does that mean? Call me a doctor? He said I know that you have obtained the true inheritance of your master, so I want to trouble you to go over and help my granddaughter take a look?
At this time, Su Yun, who was drinking soup, raised his head and said that the phone address was given to us, and we will go over early tomorrow morning. Xiaolan also said that she wanted to go over, I said that everyone has been running around for a day, and tomorrow you will all rest at home, and I will go alone.
Su Yun's illness is what Jiang Ming and I are optimistic about, so a cough of phlegm should not be a big problem. It's just that both Chinese medicine and Western medicine can't see it well, and they all say that the end of science is metaphysics, is this related to some ghosts?
After getting the phone address, I got up early the next morning, and Xiaolan and Suyun were already waiting. It seems that they also want to learn something.
Xiaolan said, senior brother, let's rush over early, this cough can be big or small, if the trachea is blocked, it will kill people. If they have to follow, then go!
The granddaughter of the old farmer married in Anyuan County, Jiangxi, 300 kilometers away from Le'an County. We arrived at noon, found a restaurant in the town to eat, and called the old farmer's granddaughter.
The phone was answered by a man, saying that his grandfather had informed them last night, and now they are waiting at home.
I drove into town, looked at the signs, and finally found their home.
This is a living area, rows of self-built houses, all of which are small buildings of three or four floors, which look more than 20 years old.
A young man went out and beckoned, and we turned off the fire. The surrounding residents were also very surprised to see three young Taoist priests and two women. So there were dozens of people at the door.
The man, a handsome man under thirty years old, came over to shake hands and said please. We sat down in the living room, and the man closed the door, and there were too many people watching.
The man introduced himself as Lin Hong, the owner of a hairstyling studio, that is, a hairdresser. After he finished speaking, he made us tea and talked about his wife's situation.
It turned out that Lin Hong had been married for more than a year, gave birth to a daughter half a year ago, and now his wife is at home with the children. A month ago, his wife suddenly had a lot of phlegm and had to spit hundreds of times a day. Even if you sleep at night, you will be awakened by phlegm, and then vomit before you can sleep.
In the past month, the milk has been gone, and the person has lost weight, so the child has changed to milk powder. When I went to the People's Hospital to take an X-ray, whether it was an X-ray chest X-ray or a CT tomography, I found no problems. I also did a bacterial culture of phlegm, and I used a lot of medicine, but I didn't see any improvement.
Because the child in the family is only six months old, and my symptoms are not particularly serious, I did not choose to be hospitalized, but only treated in an outpatient clinic.
In the last few days, I went to the Chinese medicine hospital to find the old doctor to prescribe traditional Chinese medicine, saying that it was cold phlegm and dampness, and I prescribed several traditional Chinese medicine to drink, but there was no effect at all.
When I heard the old doctor's statement, as I imagined, it was also phlegm and dampness, so the Chinese medicine he prescribed was ineffective, so it could be denied. Because for the disease of phlegm and dampness, Chinese medicine has several prescriptions that can be used.
I said I could meet her? Then Lin Hong took me to the small hall on the second floor and said that his wife's name was Xu Xuan, and she was feeding the child milk powder. After I greeted her, I saw that her face was pale, her expression was indifferent, and there was a faint despair in her eyes.
As soon as we sat down on the couch, she took a spittoon, coughed a few times, and spat out a large mouthful of gray-white phlegm. Seeing that there was already a small half of the thick phlegm in the spittoon, Xiaolan and Su Yun next to him were nauseous.
Lin Hong seemed to be used to it, so he picked up the thick phlegm and went to the toilet. I stopped him and picked a toothpick in the thick phlegm a few times. It's not like simple phlegm, as if there are other secretions.
When Lin Hong poured phlegm and came back, I said that the films and test sheets taken before were not there? He took it out of the drawer under the TV stand, chest X-rays, CT scans, lab tests, and personal medical records.
First look at the chest X-ray, the two lungs have clear textures and no thickening. Looking at the trachea and bronchi again, it seems that there is a lot of phlegm in it. X-rays don't show anything.
I looked at the CT film again, and this one cut twelve pictures, all of the same size. It shows that the technician didn't find anything abnormal at all, so he posted twelve pictures at random. Look at the picture number, it is a serial number.
I looked at the CT scan at the light of the floor-to-ceiling window, and the person next to me coughed a few times, and then spat out a big mouthful of thick phlegm. In a few minutes, how much do you have to vomit in a day?
After carefully reading the CT film, I didn't find anything unusual, so I looked through the test sheet. The white blood cells in the blood routine are slightly higher than the maximum normal value, which is still within the acceptable range. The rest is normal.
The sputum bacterial culture report list marked several items, all of which were slightly higher than the normal maximum value, and had no reference value.
This is strange, how can a good person suddenly increase the amount of thick phlegm?
When I asked Lin Hong if he had a prescription prescribed by a Chinese doctor, he said yes and took a few photos with his mobile phone. Traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, when buying medicine in the hospital pharmacy, people take it back.
Fortunately, he was eye-catching, and he took a few photos with his mobile phone, his is an LG mobile phone, and the pixels are still quite high.
Enlarge the picture to see that they are all common phlegm-dissolving and cough-relieving dampness traditional Chinese medicines, such as tangerine peel, Chuanbei, almond, magnolia, banxia, and Poria cocos. The medicines are very reasonable, even if I were asked to prescribe them, I would also prescribe these, it was a matter of quantity.
There is no problem with the direction of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine treatment, and now it depends on her. With a 'wow' and another mouthful of thick phlegm, the child cried.
She said Lin Hong, you take a diaper, and then change it there in front of us. When they were done, I said I wanted to give you a pulse.
Lin Hong hugged his daughter away, and I sat down, took her hand, and gently pressed her vein.
The veins are slippery, and then look at the tongue, the thick white greasy moss. The cough is heavy and voiced, the phlegm is abundant, the phlegm is coughed because of the phlegm, the phlegm is flat, the phlegm is sticky or thick into lumps, the color is white or gray, and the body is tired.
I closed my eyes and used my consciousness to probe her lungs. It looked like there was a mollusk in the bronchi of her left lung, and it seemed that there was some kind of mollusk that could move.
The mollusk crawled forward, coughed a few times, and turned its head with a 'wow' and spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm. The mollusk nibbled on the bronchi for a while, then crawled forward again.
I see, this should be a Gu worm! As for what kind of Gu worm it is, it is unknown. Opening her eyes and letting go of her pulse, I asked if she had any contact with any strangers a month ago.
She said no! In the past six months, I have taken care of my children, except for shopping for groceries and cooking and taking care of my children, I have not gone anywhere. Lin Hong next to her reminded her that Gao Qixin went home last month, didn't she come to our house for dinner?
Only then did she say yes, yes, yes, she had been here and asked her what she was doing? Didn't she go back to her hometown in Hunan?
Hunan? I woke up and hurriedly asked where is Hunan? She thought for a while and said, it seems to be the Xiangxi Tujia! A few years ago, I accidentally glanced at her ID card, and then I didn't look at it.
I asked, what is the relationship between this Gao Qixin and you? Then the two fell silent and looked at each other. I said that this is very important, it is very important to heal.
Lin Hong thought for a while and said. A few years ago, he worked as a hairstylist in Changsha, and Gao Qixin and Xu Xuan were the shampoos in the store. Then the two fell in love with him at the same time, and later Lin Hong chose to be allowed to run out, because Xu Xuan was also from Jiangxi, and he was from a neighboring county.
And Gao Qixin is a native of Xiangxi, Hunan, Lin Hong thought that he would return to his hometown to develop in the future, so he didn't choose her. A year ago, she became pregnant, and then the two came back to get married. At that time, Gao Qixin followed back to be a bridesmaid.
After getting married, Lin Hong opened a hairstyling shop in the town, and Gao Qixin stayed to be a shampoo girl. Last month, Gao Qixin said that she wanted to go back to her hometown, and her family urged her to get married, but Lin Hong sent her to the car.
Before she left, she had a send-off meal at home. This month, everyone is in contact with QQ. Gao Qixin is a friend of the couple and has been together for several years, so she is very protective of her in and out of her words.
I glanced at the young couple and said that you may have fallen for the Gu if you are out of permission. The husband and wife were shocked, saying how could it be possible, how could they fall for Gu? Judging from their reactions, they should know about Gu poison.
Sure enough, Lin Feng said that two years ago, once Gao Qixin was drunk, saying that her grandmother was a grass ghost woman, and that she would run out of permits to kill her. Later, when he woke up, he said that he was drunk and talking nonsense.
From this point of view, it is really Gao Qixin's Gu who has run out of permission. As for what kind of Gu it is, you have to ask Jiang Ming about this.
I got up and walked to the balcony and called Jiang Ming. Tell him the ins and outs of the matter, he said that he didn't know much about this, and he had to ask Xiaohua. Her master probably knows a little.
Do you want to check this Gao Qixin? I said, how can Jiangxi check Hunan? He said that he had just been transferred to the Nanchang Provincial Bureau in the past few days, became a director, and sent a letter to Hunan to check a person, and this power is still there.
Elevated? When did it happen? He said that he just came to report yesterday, and the director of Yichun gave up to the director of Zhangshu. Now the director of Zhangshu is Zhang Zhidong.
Yo! Zhang Zhidong is also in power? It seems that there are two people in Chongzhen Palace!
Jiang Ming said that since he passed the 'Three Caves and Five Thunder Scripture Basket', the provincial bureau named him to be the director. He brought two junior brothers to take up the post. Zhang Zhidong brought four junior disciples to serve as the director of the Zhangshu County Bureau, and now Zhangshu is the director of the Pavilion Soap Sect.
It's really a cow, and there will be eight people in Chongzhen Palace. Ah! Do I want to learn about Nanzhenguan as well?
hung up the phone, sat on the sofa in the living room, and waited for Jiang Ming's call. After glancing at the couple, I said 100% sure, if you run out of permission, you have been poisoned, and it is the poison of that Gao Qixin.
Now my friend has sent a letter to Xiangxi, Hunan, preparing to investigate this Gao Qixin. In addition, my friend's wife is a Gu student, and her master is in Guizhou. So I had to wait for the phone call to find out what kind of poison was in it.
The couple's faces changed dramatically when they heard this. When the permission ran out, he took out his mobile phone and called Gao Qixin, but the people didn't listen and broke it. She boarded QQ again and questioned her on QQ, but there was no response.
I asked Lin Hong, where is that Gao Qixin from in Xiangxi?
Lin Hong grabbed his hair and thought for a long time. Then he suddenly looked up and said, it seems to be Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture, very close to the ancient city of Phoenix. She is from the Tujia family, by the way, it is called Lin Feng Township!
I don't know the place he said, I only know this Phoenix Ancient City, which is quite famous. At this time, the phone in the pocket rang, and the caller ID was a strange phone from Guizhou.
connected, it turned out to be a call from Xiaohua. She asked about the detailed process, and said that there was no need to ask her master, this was a kind of worm Gu, which was very low-level. Then he taught me how to take Gu and medicine to recuperate.
I asked Xiaohua when did you learn so much? Xiaohua said that he learned from his master during the summer and winter vacations, and he learned almost the same! All kinds of Gu poisons will basically be solved. I exchanged pleasantries with her and hung up.
Tell Lin Hong to prepare a fresh duck egg, and then he goes out.
I told Xu Xuan that my friend said that the person who casts Gu will not be more than a mile. In other words, that Gao Qixin is near your home. When she heard this, her face changed drastically, and she became furious. I reassured her and said that she would be cured first, and then she would find someone, and then she would sit down.
I poked a hole with a toothpick and asked Xu Xuan to suck the fishy smell coming from the hole with his nose.
After sucking for a few minutes, she suddenly let out a 'wow' and spit out a large lump of thick phlegm. Seeing a tail finger-sized slug wriggling in the spittoon, my two junior sisters covered their mouths and ran out of the balcony to breathe, retching non-stop, and tears came out.
Asked Lin Hong to bring a pen and paper, wrote a prescription, and asked him to go to the pharmacy to grab medicine: a new tile, 50 grams of mussel powder, and 10 grams of Qingdai. Then I looked down at the slugs inside the thick phlegm.
Mussel powder can dissolve phlegm and dissipate accumulation, clear away heat and dampness. Qingdai is to clear heat and detoxify, cool blood and eliminate spots, and relieve fire. The sharing of the two can cure phlegm and cough
Put the new tiles on the fire, slowly fry the mussel powder until it is browned, then mix with the green daisy powder, and wash it with boiling water. This is to remove the residual toxins from the lungs at the same time, but also to dissolve phlegm and relieve cough.
I was relieved to see Xu Xuan drink the black slimy medicine and wipe the corners of his mouth with paper.
Use a toothpick to pick out the slug and place it on a tissue to observe. The slug is grayish-white, with two thin red lines on its back and two antennae on its head, constantly expanding and contracting.
Asked Lin Hong to find a candle, lit a tissue, and put it on the slug. The slugs were burned by the flames. Then a woman's screams could be heard in the distance outside the window.
"Ahh ......。 ”
