Chapter 209: The Lost Emperor's Outer Classics
The feng shui master took a few deep breaths, trying to calm his feelings, and his next actions were about to determine the success or failure of their life and death.
At this time, the sky was a little muggy, and it seemed to be more cloudy, and there was not a trace of starlight in the sky. In the dark night, in addition to the buzzing of mosquitoes and the chirping of insects in the grass, there were gusts of mountain wind, and the leaves and grass were blowing in the wind, making a rustling and rustling sound, and it was this sound that became the best cover for the two of them to move.
The feng shui master held the old Taoist priest in one hand and a pistol in the other, and followed closely behind the old Taoist priest, and in the dark, they slowly touched the direction where the blind old man was.
In the completely dark environment, the old Taoist priest's astonishing sensitivity to the qi of yin and yang could only be relied on to determine the exact location of the blind old man's hiding.
Although the distance was only a few meters, the two of them moved very slowly, and the blind old man obviously knew that they had guns, so he didn't dare to come out of hiding easily.
Suddenly, the feng shui master felt that the old Taoist priest stopped, his heart beat wildly, according to the agreement just now, he knew that the time of life and death had come.
The time the two have been together together is not short, so there is a sense of tacit understanding, in the dark, he can feel that the old Taoist priest picked up the flashlight, and he also raised the pistol, just waiting for the old Taoist priest to turn on the flashlight, shining on the blind old man's body, he will also shoot this last bullet.
The two took a deep breath almost at the same time, silently counting in their hearts, one, two, three, and then shouted violently, the old Taoist priest turned on the flashlight, and at the moment when the flashlight hit the blind old man's face, the Feng Shui master's bullet also flew out almost at the same time, and he heard a miserable scream, the feng shui master could see that the blind old man was knocked down by himself, but almost at the same time, he suddenly heard the old Taoist priest next to him also scream, the flashlight fell to the ground, his heart tightened suddenly, knowing that the old Taoist priest also had an accident.
That is, at the same time as the old Taoist priest turned on the flashlight, one of the blind old man's darts had already shot towards them in the light. This kind of reaction speed is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to do, and the old Taoist priest was hit by this dart from the blind old man.
At this time, the feng shui master couldn't care about anything else, quickly picked up the flashlight that fell on the ground, but it was still on, squatted beside the old Taoist priest and shouted: "Senior, are you okay?" ”。
In the bright light of the flashlight, he saw the old Taoist priest's arm bleeding profusely, the old Taoist priest seemed to be in pain, but let Ran endure the pain and shouted to the feng shui master: "Leave me alone, let's see if the blind old man is dead, hurry!" ”
The feng shui master hurriedly used a flashlight to shine on the position where the blind old man fell to the ground, but to his frustration and loss, the blind old man was gone, and he hurriedly rushed over to look, but except for a blood stain on the ground, the blind old man was nowhere to be found. After searching the neighborhood for a while, I still didn't see any trace of the blind old man.
Originally, he thought that he could continue to chase the blind old man along the bloodstains, but his bullets had run out, and in addition, since the blind old man could escape, it meant that the bullets did not hit the vital place, so the blind old man's injuries were definitely not serious, and he definitely did not lose the ability to fight back. Besides, the old Taoist priest was also injured, and he had to save the old Taoist priest first.
Thinking of this, the feng shui master decided to take the old Taoist priest back immediately. When he returned to see the old Taoist, the old Taoist was already in a semi-comatose state, with a lot of blood flowing on his arm, and there was a bad smell, the feng shui master was taken aback and immediately realized that this dart could be poisonous.
He hurriedly tore open his shirt, bandaged the old Taoist priest briefly, and then hurriedly picked up the old Taoist priest, did not dare to delay for a moment, walked as fast as he could, and hurried down the mountain.
Originally, the feng shui master felt very tired from his mind to his body because of following the blind old man and this life-and-death duel. But as soon as he saw that the old Taoist priest was so seriously injured and the situation was so urgent, he was young and vigorous after all, he turned on the flashlight and clamped it under his armpit, and a rush came up, carrying the old Taoist priest almost like a trot, and soon arrived in the town.
Coincidentally, at this time, the silver horn had just sent off the last batch of guests, and was just about to close the door, when he suddenly saw the feng shui master breaking in with the old Taoist priest on his back, and both of them were covered in blood. The guy in the shop was taken aback, and the bookkeeper also hurriedly rushed over, and while instructing the guy to take the old Taoist priest next, he asked the feng shui master loudly: "What's wrong with the old Taoist?" ”
The feng shui master sat down on the ground all of a sudden, his sweat already soaking his whole body, as if he had just been fished out of the water. He opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word, just gasped for breath, and the feng shui master felt that the Venus was rising in front of him, and his mind was blank, as if he was about to faint.
The guys took the old Taoist priest with all hands and feet, gently put it on the ground, and quickly checked the injuries all over his body, and found that on the old Taoist's left arm, there was a slender willow leaf dart, which was deeply embedded in it, almost piercing his arm.
Originally, two guys were also going to come over to help the feng shui master, but the feng shui master sat on the ground and waved his hand at them with a painful expression, indicating that he was fine.
Luckily, there were several pharmacies on the street, and they quickly found a doctor.
This doctor is more than 50 years old, is the best doctor in this area, because they are all on the same street, very close, and the silver number is a neighbor, so, up and down the silver number, are very familiar with this doctor, this doctor heard that someone in the silver number was injured, did not dare to delay, immediately picked up the small medicine box, hurriedly rushed over, to see this, found that the injured was the old Taoist, and was even more surprised, because this doctor also knew the old Taoist, he really couldn't think of it, who dared to hit this "old fairy" with darts.
After carefully examining the wound, the doctor breathed a sigh of relief, although he knew that the darts were poisonous, he knew a lot about the poison. This was apparently concocted from a poisonous weed in the mountains, which, at first glance, was so poisonous that when eaten by man or animal, he would quickly fall unconscious, and turn black; But this is actually only a paralyzing effect, often not fatal, after a few hours, the drug is over, the animal will generally recover and wake up.
People who don't know much about this herb often mistakenly think that this herb is extremely poisonous based on the initial symptoms after animal poisoning.
But this is not counting the wonder of this poisonous weed, the most incredible thing is that once poisoned by this poisonous weed, you must not use any other medicine to apply externally or internally, because once you use other drugs to treat, the poisoned person will have a violent allergic reaction and will die quickly. In other words, after being poisoned by this kind of poison, if you don't treat it, you'll generally be fine, but if it's just a treatment, you'll die immediately.
The doctor thought to himself, maybe it was because this old Taoist priest had a great life, and fortunately he found him, otherwise he would have changed to another doctor, because he didn't understand the medicinal properties of this poison, he would definitely give the old Taoist priest some other medicine, and at that time, the old Taoist priest would definitely die.
The doctor was sure that no one but him should know the secret of the drug. Because of the medicinal properties of this medicine, it only appears in a top-secret medical book. And this medical book was secretly passed on to him by his master himself.
At that time, after the doctor had studied medicine with the master for more than 30 years, the master took out a tattered and tattered medical book from under the pillow before he died.
The master told him that in the past 30 years, whether it is learning art or doing things, he is diligent and conscientious, and he is as filial to the master as he is to his father, he is a good boy who is down-to-earth and kind, and he has no children or daughters, so he passed on this most precious medical book to him, and the secret recipes in it, and even the method of surgery, have been lost. With this book, it is guaranteed that he can become a famous doctor within a radius of hundreds of miles.
Later, the doctor learned that the medical book passed on to him by the master was a fragment of the manuscript of the Emperor's Outer Classics, which had been lost.
"The Emperor's Inner Canon" is known to Chinese, and it is said to be a medical book handed down from ancient times, and it is the most basic and classic work of Chinese medicine. And in addition to this "Emperor's Inner Canon", there is also a "Emperor's Inner Canon", which for some reason has not been handed down.
"The Emperor's Inner Canon" mainly talks about the basic theories and principles of curing diseases, while it is said that this "Emperor's Inner Canon" talks about some surgical methods and specific prescriptions.
Most people know that traditional Chinese medicine does not seem to do surgery, but only uses "looking, smelling, asking, cutting" and the like, which is precisely because the "Emperor's Outer Classics" is lost. In fact, in ancient China, there was already a very high level of surgery, such as Hua Tuo in the Three Kingdoms period, who was able to perform brain surgery on patients, and later it was because he had to perform brain surgery on Cao Cao that he was killed by Cao Cao.
It is said that Hua Tuo's superb surgery was learned from the "Emperor's Outer Classics". What's more critical is that when Hua Tuo did surgery, he used a special anesthetic called "Ma Boiling San", and the main ingredient of this "Ma Boiling San" was the poisonous weed that concocted this poisonous dart, that is, the poison in the old Taoist priest.
But these secrets will never be revealed to others; However, there were so many people around, waiting for him to treat the old Taoist dart wound, if he just took the dart out without a little medicine, these people would definitely ask this and that, so he had an idea, found an excuse, and said to everyone that after being poisoned, the patient needs absolute silence, and can not receive a little disturbance, the noisier the sound, the worse the impact on the patient.
So, the doctor used this excuse to branch out all the people, and then only gently took out the dart, and then washed the wound of the old Taoist priest with water, and then bandaged it.
In addition, it is amazing that this poison can't help but have a good paralyzing effect and a strong hemostatic effect, so even though it is such a deep wound, the blood that flows out is considered small.
Sure enough, when it was dawn, the old Taoist priest slowly woke up, and he didn't feel the pain of the wound, but only felt that the entire injured left arm, as if he was completely unconscious, and felt very numb.
The feng shui master stayed by his bedside all night, and only took a nap, not sleeping at all, his eyes were red, and his voice was a little hoarse. Because the feng shui master is extremely guilty, seeing that the old Taoist priest is so old, and he is still experiencing this pain of life and death for himself, if there are three long and two short, he will not forgive himself in this life. When he saw the old Taoist priest wake up, his tired and pale face showed a smile of relief.
With the help of the feng shui master, the old Taoist priest struggled to sit up, recalling the scene of the life-and-death struggle last night, and let out a long breath, as if he had a feeling of the aftermath of his life.
