All Chapters_Chapter 86 Ghost City
The pain came from his arm, and Shen Yan used the shortest time to calm himself down after the fall.
The strong aroma was beside her, and she forced the pain all over her body to move her body backwards.
Qilin was already completely panicked above, and he didn't know how to save Shen Yan from the bottom of the well.
And those snakes, too close, once those snakes go to besiege Dr. Shen, the consequences are unimaginable.
Shen Yan naturally knew how dangerous his current situation was.
She held her breath, trying to minimize her presence, but the snakes were already pointing their heads in her direction.
"Doctor Shen, what should I do?"
The unicorn above is eager to jump in from above immediately.
But the direct consequence of doing so may be that not only will you not be able to save Shen Yan, but you will also miss the best opportunity to save Shen Yan.
Shen Yan took a few big breaths, and shouted at Qilin, "Brother Qilin, give me the sword." ”
Although he didn't know what Shen Yan wanted to do with the sword, Qilin still didn't think about it, and threw his sword into it.
He also thought that Shen Yan wanted the sword to protect himself, who knows, when the long sword fell into Shen Yan's hand, Shen Yan pulled the scabbard apart, and used the sharp blade to cut through the palm of his right hand.
Red blood began to flow down her broken arm.
Qilin watched Shen Yan do all this, and he couldn't understand it at all, those poisons, once they smelled the smell of human blood, wouldn't they be even more crazy?
But then, there was a scene that surprised Kirin.
The moment Shen Yan held his right hand and sprinkled blood around him, those red thin snakes began to become restless as if they had been deeply frightened.
There are even snakes, when they touch Shen Yan's blood, they twist it a few times and stop moving.
Shen Yan didn't know if this would be effective, but it seemed that he could still delay for a while.
"Sulfur, Brother Qilin, let people go to the Tai Hospital to get a jar of sulfur with the purest purity.
"I'm going to be here for a while. Tell the Guards that if you see these poisons in the grass, you must not come near them.
"Even if it's killing, the farther away the better."
After explaining these few sentences, Shen Yan leaned on the wall of the well a little weakly.
Looking at the wellhead that was not very far away from her, Shen Yan was actually glad that if she fell into a deep well, then she would not just have a broken arm now.
Time passed minute by minute, and Kirin never thought that a morning would be so difficult.
At first, those thin snakes were very afraid of Dr. Shen's blood, but after a while, the vitality of those thin snakes seemed to return.
They meander at the bottom of the well. The wall of the well spits letters to Shen Yan from time to time.
Except for Shen Yan's location, those thin snakes were already everywhere in this dry well.
Finally, one of the guards of the Royal Forest Army brought the sulfur from the Tai Hospital.
In addition, at this time, the rope is also ready.
Qilin first carefully carried the jar of sulfur down the well with a rope, and then ordered people to hurry up and prepare to pick up Shen Yan.
The moment he got the sulfur jar, Shen Yan had a mentality of success or failure.
She took a deep breath and used her left hand, which she still had strength, to rip off the wax seal of the jar.
Suddenly, the stench of sulfur occupied the bottom of this small well.
When Shen Yan, put those sulfur powder. When you raise them one by one.
A shrill hissing sound began to sound at the bottom of the well.
As long as the snake is sprinkled with sulfur powder, it is first dehydrated, and finally it becomes a snake corpse like a dry branch.
From before dawn until the sun rises three poles.
Shen Yan stayed at the bottom of the well for an hour before he was carried up by the Qilin.
Fortunately, except for the broken arm of his right hand, Shen Yan was fine, and the guards who followed him were not injured.
But after the complete cleaning of this abandoned palace.
Shen Yan shook his head in disappointment.
Here, apart from the presence of these snakes in this dry well, there is nothing special about the rest of the place.
The bottom of the well was also sealed, and there was no secret passage to anywhere.
Who exactly? In this deep palace, these harmful poisons are raised.
Based on the close observation just now. Shen Yan was already sure that the red worm found in the heart of Doctor Ye Guo was planted through the spiky tails of those snakes and pierced into people's bodies.
And this snake should also have some kind of anesthetic function, the moment it punctures the person's skin, the person will not feel pain at all.
When the eggs of the Gu worm reached the location of the heart with the blood, they began to grow wildly, and finally, they were poisoned and died.
Just thinking about the process can make people's scalps tingle.
Fortunately, today these poisons were detected early and eliminated.
However, what Shen Yan can't be sure of is this. Will there be anything else, or more, in this house?
Just after Shen Yan did an emergency bandage on his arm, Mu Jinchen, who had just gotten the news, rushed over like a wind.
When he saw Shen Yan standing in front of him in embarrassment, he couldn't control himself anymore.
didn't care if there was someone next to him, he stretched out his hand and hugged Shen Yan in his arms.
"It's okay if you're okay, it's okay if you're okay."
Qilin had already expected in advance that Mu Jinchen might make such an unruly move as soon as he came, so he had already sent everyone around him to look for clues in this palace.
By the side of the two of them, he was the only one left, helping the two of them with a guilty face.
Shen Yan leaned on Mu Jinchen's body, although his body had always been cold, but at this time, it made her feel unprecedented warmth.
She is invincible to all poisons, and ordinary poisons can't help her, but she is just a flesh-and-blood person after all.
If those snakes had besieged her just now, she would probably have been killed.
Slowly exhaled a breath, as if she had expelled all the fearful emotions in her heart, she raised her little face, smiled at Mu Jinchen, and after laughing, she said:
"Okay, lord, I'm fine, but when I fell, I broke my arm.
"Now, hurry up and take me to find a doctor who can pick up bones!"
After speaking, Shen Yan gently pushed Mu Jinchen away with her left hand.
If she broke her left hand, she could pick it up herself, but it was her right hand that was broken.
There is also the Tai Hospital, except for Bai Qingyuan, no one knows how to do it.
So, she must now find a bone master to help her, and as soon as possible.
If she delays any longer, her hand may be useless.
Mu Jinchen, who had been busy all night, gently held her broken arm, and her brows were tightly locked.
After thinking in his heart for a while, he put his eyes on Shen Yan's face.
"Well, I know there's someone who will definitely help you take care of it."
also didn't have time to feel sorry for Shen Yan, Mu Jinchen took Shen Yan out of the palace gate in a hurry.
As for the things in the abandoned palace, the aftermath will be handed over to Qilin and Lin Jing.
Mu Jinchen and Shen Yan first went back to the palace, and after he changed into a very low-key civilian clothes, he drove the carriage alone and took Shen Yan all the way out of the city.
Because Shen Yan didn't sleep well all night, and he fell into the well, he was a little frightened.
She was in the carriage, dazed, and she didn't know where Mu Jinchen was taking her.
But what she knew was that they had already left the capital.
Just as the moon had just risen, the carriage finally stopped on the edge of a very dilapidated suspension bridge.
Mu Jinchen hugged Shen Yan off the car.
Shen Yan looked at the side of the bridge, the little firelight, he was very puzzled.
"Lord, what kind of place is this? Are you here to take me to the doctor? ”
Shen Yan said the question in his heart, but Mu Jinchen didn't answer her immediately. Instead, he took out two black cloaks that had been prepared in advance to cover his face, and dressed himself and Shen Yan.
"Xiaoyan, remember, for a while, no matter what happens, don't call me the prince, you can't call me by my name, just call me eldest brother, do you hear?"
After everything was in order, Mu Jinchen said to Shen Yan in a solemn tone.
Shen Yan didn't quite understand the meaning of his words, but since he said so, he naturally had his reasons, so he didn't say anything, just nodded.
"And, remember, everything you see in this place is a nightmare.
"We're just here to cure our hands, and the rest, after reading it, we must forget it."
Looking at Mu Jinchen's nervous expression, Shen Yan unconsciously became nervous.
What kind of place was behind the drawbridge, her curiosity was also a little stronger.
However, when he thought about it, when Mu Jinchen was surrounded by so many living dead, he never showed the slightest panic.
As a result, just standing here, it was already like a soldier coming to the city, and Shen Yan could already guess it. The two of them are about to go to what kind of Longtan Tiger's Den.
By the moonlight in the sky, Mu Jinchen pulled Shen Yan and carefully walked up the suspension bridge that was already a little tattered step by step.
Several times, Shen Yan's feet were about to step on the air.
Fortunately, Mu Jinchen held her tightly every time.
Finally, the two of them walked to the other side of the suspension bridge with great difficulty.
After bypassing a small hill full of thorns, suddenly, a brightly lit town appeared in front of Shen Yan.
This is really weird, when he is far away, all Shen Yan can see is a little light, but when he walks into this narrow mountain col, there is such a prosperous town!
However, how does this town look at it, how does it feel like it is not for people to live, but like it is for the dead.
Because all the lanterns that are lit are white.
All the buildings are black.
Just as the two of them were about to set foot in the town. Shen Yan finally saw a stone tablet that had fallen diagonally on the ground outside the town.
Above this stone monument, there is also a white lantern propped up.
The light of the lantern hit the two words engraved on the stone tablet.
Ghost City.
Shen Yan's eyes widened, here, it is the most mysterious place in Zhongzhou where you can buy anything, the ghost market
"Big brother, here?"
"Well, this is a place that even the imperial court can't control, the ghost market."
While saying this, Mu Jinchen took Shen Yan's hand and tightened it a little more.
In the whole of Zhongzhou, south to the southern islands of Xinjiang. North to the desert.
The vast land is all the royal land in the hands of the imperial court, but in this small land that is only a dozen miles away from the capital, the royal law and royal power are useless at all.
As long as you have gold, you can buy anything you can, and even if you want to buy the underwear worn by the imperial concubine, there is no problem at all.
Also, this has the largest and darkest casino in Midstate.
The things they gamble on are also strange, but the most crazy is the Colosseum.
Although the ghost market is very dark, this place has a doctor who can be called a ghost.
The stunt of one-handed bones, no one in the world can match.
This time, Mu Jinchen brought Shen Yan here, and it was precisely here to find this doctor.
However, there is one thing that still makes Mu Jinchen very worried.
That ghost doctor, there are three don't look at it.
One, don't look at the royal family, two, don't look at the officials, and three, don't look at women.
Shen Yan is easy to say, she is neither a woman, nor is she official.
But Mu Jinchen can't do it. The innate kingly aura in him, no matter how he hides it, can be seen at a glance in the eyes of the old rivers and lakes.
Once someone knows, the regent Mu Jinchen has come to the ghost market.
I'm afraid it's going to be a little difficult to get out safely.
However, because of Shen Yan's injury, Mu Jinchen could only take risks.
Pulling Shen Yan, he carefully walked through the not very wide alley all the way.
On both sides of the alley, there are all shops without signs.
On the side of the road, there are still everywhere, dressed in tatters, and there is no sound of begging. Beggar.
Ever since Shen Yan crossed over into this world, she has always felt that Zhongzhou is a good country.
The people are prosperous and healthy, there is no war in the world, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
But here, for the first time, she saw the dark side of all this.
Some of the beggars' arms and legs were rotten to the bone.
For the first time in her long history as a doctor, she felt so weak that she felt sick to her stomach.
As if sensing Shen Yan's abnormality, Mu Jinchen took her hand and changed it to her shoulder.
While silently comforting her, he quickened his pace.
Finally, in the depths of the town, at the door of a very inconspicuous small house, Mu Jinchen stopped.
"Here we are, remember, what I just said to you."
Finally, after instructing Shen Yan again, Mu Jinchen walked in with her.
As soon as I stepped into this house without a yard.
Shen Yan was choked by the smell of alcohol.
This wine is not an ordinary wine, but a wine made with many kinds of strong poisons.
If this is an ordinary person, it is estimated that if you lick it, you will immediately die of intestinal rot.
If you look at the furnishings around you, there are poisonous weeds everywhere, and there are poisonous substances everywhere.
The most striking thing is that in a long wooden box inside the house, there is also a large cluster of red manju sawa.
It was a poisonous flower that grew on a carrion.
Therefore, what is the thing in the wooden box that is used as flower soil, Shen Yan can understand it at a glance.
"Ahem."
Just when the two of them came in and didn't come for a while.
An old cough. It sounded right inside the room.
"Seeing a doctor? Or buy medicine? ”
Following the sound and looking over, what Shen Yan saw was an old man wearing coarse cloth clothes, gray hair, only white-eyed, and no black-eyed people.
It turned out that the doctor was blind.
At this moment, Mu Jinchen's deep voice crossed Shen Yan's eardrums.
"Bones."
There were only two words, not a word more.
As soon as he heard Mu Jinchen's words, the old man just hummed and nodded.
"Okay, you know my rules, do you have the consultation fee?"
"Brought it."
As he spoke, Mu Jinchen took out a small wooden box from his cloak and handed it to the old man.
Shen Yan thought it was very strange. This old man didn't even say the price, how did Mu Jinchen know how much money to give him.
But she didn't dare to say much, just watched as the old man took the box.
The moment the old man opened the box, Shen Yan was already stunned,
The box was neatly packed with ten pearls, the size of a pigeon's egg.
Each one is round and flawless, and in such a dark and terrifying place, it exudes a holy and soft light.
"Yo, Nanzhu, hum, what a big deal!"
Although he couldn't see it, the old man groped with his hand, and a smile appeared on his somewhat terrifying face.
However, what he did next was not to ask who to pick up the bones, but to cover the box containing Nanzhu, put it aside, and then stretched out his hand.
"The consultation fee is good, but my other rule can't be broken, this master, please!"
Of course Mu Jinchen knows what he is going to do, this is a talented doctor, in addition to being able to pick bones, see a doctor, and make drugs, he will also touch bones. No matter who came to him for medical treatment, he had to touch the other party's hand to determine the identity of the other party.
After hesitating again and again, Mu Jinchen still didn't stretch out his hand.
He calmed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then spoke:
"If the patient is not me, the ghost doctor will not have to bother."
As soon as he heard this, the old man just smiled.
"No, no matter who you show it, the old man has to touch the people who come together, this is the rule, if you think so, the old man may touch your hands. Then please come back. ”
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, and the pearl on the table next to him didn't seem to care at all.
Gritting his teeth, Mu Jinchen finally compromised.
This ghost doctor can be in the ghost market for many years, and his rules are his signature.
Even if he puts a knife on his neck, he won't see you, he still won't show you.
At this time, Mu Jinchen had no choice.
"Okay, rules, rules."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.
The old man turned around and accurately held Mu Jinchen's hand from the air.
The old hands. It's just that I began to grope for it.
"The bones are distinct, the finger bones are slender, presumably this master must be very tall.
"There is a calloon in the palm of the hand, and it should be a perennial sword.
"There are also calluses on the side of the index finger, ah, this is often left by horseback riding.
"Hmmm! Interesting, such a pair of hands that are obviously knights in the rivers and lakes, but they have fine skin and tender meat, and they have never done any rough work since they were young.
"Hehe, hehehehe.
"Gee, tsk, that's interesting.
"This master, please go back, you just said, rules are rules. The old man will never care about the affairs of the royal family. ”
The moment the words landed, the old man let go of Mu Jinchen's hand, and this time, he really turned around and was about to leave.
Mu Jinchen knew that the moment he stretched out his hand just now, his identity might be revealed, but he still wanted to gamble.
Sure enough, he still lost, but since he had already brought Shen Yan with him, he couldn't go back so easily.
"Ghost doctor stay, yes, you're right, this king has broken your rules by coming here, but it's not me who needs to be grafted.
"She's just an ordinary person, if you don't do it again, her arm may not be cured.
"Ghost doctor, if you feel that the consultation fee is not enough, this king, you can ...... again"
Before Mu Jinchen's words were finished, the old man turned his face with disgust.
"That's a lot of money, isn't it? If you don't look at it, you just don't look at it, if Lord Mu still wants to leave alive, hurry up and take your people away, otherwise. If you can't keep it, you won't be able to leave for a while. ”
After speaking, he shook his head and refused with a face.
Mu Jinchen wanted to say something, but Shen Yan just grabbed him.
"Forget it, if you don't look at it, don't watch it, let's go."
Shen Yan really couldn't see it, Mu Jinchen deigned to beg for his own dignity.
It's a big deal for her, she takes her left hand by herself, and if she doesn't catch it well, she won't get too bad.
But Mu Jinchen doesn't seem to want to give up yet.
And at this moment, a hearty laugh sounded from outside the door.
The moment he heard the laughter, the ghost doctor was stunned. Shen Yan just felt that this laughter was very familiar, and Mu Jinchen looked back expectantly as if he saw hope again, looking at the person who walked in from outside the door.
This is probably the time when Mu Jinchen wants to see him the most in his life.
"Blind Zhang, you can refuse the person who admires the prince, but what if this patient is my person?"
Night Shura said as he strode into the house.
"Big Brother Night!"
Shen Yan felt that this world was really small, how could Big Brother Ye be here.
And the ghost doctor, who was next to him, just smiled awkwardly.
"I said, Brother Mu, you are really not interesting, Shen Yan is also my brother, he is injured, you didn't even look for me.
"However, you are bold enough to dare to bring her here by yourself.
"If you go out and take a look, it's already surrounded by several floors.
"You're blind when you think this ghost city! Before you even crossed the drawbridge, someone was already spreading the news. ”
After saying that, he found a wooden stool in the house and sat down.
Mu Jinchen's mind was all on Shen Yan's arm, where was he still in the mood to quarrel with Night Shura.
"It's urgent, I don't have time to find you, I can only bring her directly."
At this point, Mu Jinchen sighed in his heart and continued to speak.
"Night, Brother Night, Shen Yan, I'll leave it to you."
As soon as he heard Mu Jinchen call himself Brother Ye, Night Shura's good-looking Danfeng eyes smiled even deeper.
"It's easy to say, my night Shura still has a certain weight here, don't you say, Zhang Blind."
After laughing, he looked at the ghost doctor who was beside him with a tangled face.
"Hehe, yes, since the evil emperor has opened his mouth, the old man can only be ugly.
"But, you can talk about it. My three don't look at it, the evil emperor must not embarrass me. ”
Night Shura glanced at Shen Yan and then at Mu Jinchen, of course he knew that Shen Yan was now working as a physician in the palace, but for the sake of his brother, he could only tell this lie.
"Of course, how can I embarrass you, let's hurry up and give my little brother a bone."
Finally, after this conversation, Shen Yan finally sat down at the table where the ghost doctor was treating.
She endured the pain and stretched out her arm.
But the moment her hand was held by the ghost doctor.
The ghost doctor's face remained calm, and the cunning disappeared.
The more he touched Shen Yan's hand, the more excited he became, and in the end, he stood up directly and stretched out his hand to Shen Yan's face.
Mu Jinchen next to him just felt strange, the bones were connected to the bones, why did he still touch his face.
But what this ghost doctor wants to do, there must be a reason for him.
He could only say nothing from the side.
Shen Yan raised her cold eyes and looked at this strange doctor, who was also a doctor, but she didn't understand what this old man meant.
It was a long time before Dr. Gui withdrew his body.
blinked his cloudy white pupils and said a word to Shen Yan.
"Come with me to the inner room, your bones are not easy to take."
After speaking, he didn't care if Shen Yantong disagreed, he grabbed Shen Yan's arm and was about to drag him to the inner room.
Mu Jinchen panicked when he saw it, but the night Shura next to him still grabbed him.
"It's okay, Zhang Blind is measured."
Having said that, Night Shura's face also showed a look of doubt.
And Shen Yan, who was dragged to the back room, was even more at a loss, just bones, she could pick her up anywhere, why did this ghost doctor take her here?
But before she could ask.
She didn't even scream when her arm hurt, and her arm, which was already a little bent, straightened again.
That is, in the blink of an eye, there are two more bamboo pieces on his arm.
Shen Yan didn't understand what was going on, and his forearm was quickly wrapped with bandages.
"So fast!"
Unconsciously, Shen Yan just said these two words.
But the answer she heard made her freeze on the spot.
"Girl, you, you've grown so big."
