Chapter 16: Detoxification

Immortal cultivators are also human beings, and if they are human beings, they will get sick.

In the same way, monsters can get sick too.

However, immortal cultivators and demon beasts generally don't get sick easily, and if they get sick, they won't be mortals with colds and other diseases.

It is generally an illness exclusive to immortal cultivators caused by improper cultivation and the invasion of foreign poisons.

The Mu family's eight [Ink Scale Horses] suddenly all fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, which was obviously a typical symptom of poisoning or illness.

Zhou Chun entered the beast pen and checked the pupils, tongues, and even horse manure of several [Ink Scale Ponies], and then recalled the various imperial beast classics he had read in his mind, and immediately thought of several corresponding symptoms.

However, he did not rush to make a conclusion, but said to the people of the Mu family who were looking at him anxiously: "Zhou probably has some guesses, but whether it is right or not, I still have to ask some information before I can draw a conclusion." ”

"But before that, you can give them the pill in this bottle first, which can temporarily relieve their symptoms and avoid casualties."

After speaking, he reached out and patted the storage bag, took out a medicine bottle and handed it to Mu Ziying.

But Mu Ziying held the medicine bottle, but did not move immediately, but looked at Mu Yunshan.

"Do what Zhou Daoyou said."

Mu Yunshan groaned slightly, then nodded, and motioned for Mu Ziying to feed the [Ink Scale Pony] medicine.

After swallowing the pill given by Zhou Chun in this way, the twitching amplitude of those [Ink Scale Horses] was indeed much smaller, and the blood foam at the corners of their mouths overflowed a lot more slowly.

Seeing this scene, several Mu family monks all showed surprise, and their eyes were different when they looked at the medicine bottle in Mu Ziying's hand.

However, they also knew in their hearts that this secret elixir must be the Zhou family's unique secret medicine, and they didn't expect Zhou Chun to give them a prescription, so they didn't mention it.

I saw Mu Yunshan stretch out his hand and take Zhou Chun to a slightly farther place, and then looked at him and said, "Zhou Daoyou, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask." ”

"Zhou wants to know, what are the things that have fed these [Ink Scale Horses] in the past two days? Where have these [Ink Scale Ponies] been in the outside world in the last three days? ”

Zhou Chun was also not polite, and immediately raised two questions.

When Mu Yunshan heard this, he immediately replied: "Fellow Daoist, wait a minute, Mu will go and inquire." ”

Then I went to communicate with a few Mu family monks who were in charge of taking care of the [Ink Scale Horse].

After a while, he brought Mu Ziying and a middle-aged monk from the Mu family.

"Don't dare to deceive Zhou Daoyou, a few days ago, a family monk found a secret snake cave in a mountain forest on the south bank of Biyun Lake, and killed several first-order demon snakes, countless mortal snakes, [Ink Scale Horse] have been eating snake meat for the past two days, as well as some sweet leaf grass that they love to eat."

"In the past three days, [Ink Scale Pony] has not left the mountain gate, and has only run a few laps in the mountain gate every day."

Mu Ziying and the middle-aged monk of the Mu family answered Zhou Chun's question one by one.

When Zhou Chun heard this, he immediately looked at Mu Ziying and asked, "Then you have fed [Ink Scale Pony] snake meat before?" ”

"Feeded, because the [Ink Scale Pony] itself is not taboo, there are not many taboo places, we have fed it a lot of birds, beasts, insects and fish meat, and nothing has happened before!"

This time it was the elderly man of the Mu family who answered, and when he said this, he also looked at Zhou Chun with a look of surprise and asked, "Zhou Daoyou suspects that there is something wrong with those snake meats?" ”

After speaking, he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "But that snake meat is very delicious, many monks and mortals of our Mu family have eaten it, and I haven't heard of anyone who is poisoned and sick!" ”

"Yes, Zhou Daoyou, you also ate it!"

Mu Ziying also added.

After listening to their words, Zhou Chun suddenly nodded and said, "Most of the time it's really the problem of that snake meat!" ”

After speaking, without waiting for the two to refute, they explained: "The snake meat we eat is cleaned and burned, and there is basically no possibility of meat poisoning." ”

"But [Ink Scales] likes to eat bloody raw meat, and when you feed it, you probably just throw the corpses of those snakes to it to eat."

"Although with the physical fitness of the [Ink Scale Pony], even if they are bitten by ordinary poisonous snakes, they will not be bad, but if it is some poisonous demon snakes and their descendants, they will still be seriously poisoned!"

"That's why these [Ink-scaled Ponies] will be poisoned and sick, mostly because they ate the corpses of demon snakes and demon snake descendants, and the snake venom entered through their mouths, which made them have such a serious poisoning reaction."

What he said was well-founded and clear, so that all the Mu family monks were speechless and unable to refute it.

In the end, Mu Yunshan opened his mouth and asked: "If they are really poisoned by snakes, can Zhou Daoyou have a way to detoxify them?" ”

"Of course there are ways, but the [Ink Scale Pony] is only a first-order demon beast, I'm afraid that those methods that cost a lot will not be willing to use them."

Zhou Chun glanced at Mu Yunshan, and then continued: "So let's arrange someone to accompany Zhou to the vicinity of the snake cave, generally speaking, near the nest of poisonous snakes, you can find some herbs to cure snake venom." ”

"Then there is Lao Zhou Daoyou, Mu will go and explain the situation to the patriarch."

After Mu Yunshan finished speaking, he arched his hand at Zhou Chun, and hurriedly left the beast garden.

Half an hour later, Zhou Chun, accompanied by five Mu family monks, left Biyun Mountain and went to the location of the snake cave on the south bank of Biyun Lake.

On the south shore of Biyun Mountain, there is a bamboo sea that stretches for more than ten miles, and the snake cave was found in the depths of the bamboo sea.

When Zhou Chun came to the entrance of the snake cave under the leadership of the Mu family monks, he could still see many poisonous snakes.

"Zhou Daoyou, please look, the snake cave is in this underground cave, and at that time, there was even a first-order high-grade snake king in it, and I waited for a lot of strength to kill it!"

In a clearing in the bamboo forest, a Mu monk pointed to the entrance of a dark cave on the ground and whispered the situation.

He was the one who had personally participated in the battle to clean up the snake cave a few days earlier.

Zhou Chun knew that the people of the Mu family did not tell the truth.

Generally, after the demon snake becomes a demon, it will not gather other ordinary snakes and insects to form a snake nest.

And if this happens, it means that there are treasures in the snake's nest that are extremely useful for the growth of snakes, attracting a large number of snakes to gather, even if the demon snake cannot monopolize it, it can only be shared with the snake group.

However, there is no need to say this kind of thing, after all, no matter what treasure the Mu family monk gets from the snake cave, it is the fate of the family.

Therefore, after staring at the entrance of the dark cave for a few moments, he shook his head slightly and said: "There is no need to enter the cave, there must be no grass in it, and there are no herbs to be found, so Zhou will look for it nearby!" ”

Then he walked around the nearby bamboo forest.

And where Zhou Chun passed, the snakes retreated one after another, as if they had met a natural enemy.

This is because he smeared the Zhou family's secret snake repellent cream on the hem of his trousers, and its smell has a stimulating effect on most snakes, making them uncomfortable and just want to stay away from the source of the smell.

Several Mu family monks followed behind him, and they were also quite surprised by this.

Medicinal powders and other things that drive away beasts and snakes are not uncommon in the world of cultivating immortals, and basically they are sold in a grocery store in the market, and they are also very cheap.

But the effect can reach the snake repellent cream used by Zhou Chun, and a few of them have really not seen it.

For a while, I wondered if I should come to Zhou Chun afterwards to ask for or buy some in case of emergency.

And after Zhou Chun took people to walk in the bamboo forest for a while, he did find some herbs that could cure ordinary snake venom, but whether it could have an effect on the snake venom of the demon snake, he was not very sure, so he could only continue to search.

After drilling in the bamboo forest full of weeds and vines for half an hour, Zhou Chun's eyes suddenly lit up and he made a major discovery.

"See the little purple flower on that vine?"

"It's called Purple Snake Flower, which is an herb that has a strong detoxifying effect on snake venom, but in order for this medicine to take effect, it needs to be stimulated by snake saliva drip irrigation first."

Zhou Chun pointed with his hand, pointed to the small purple flower clinging to a bamboo leaf, and gave a teaching lesson to Mu Ziying and others behind him on the spot.

Then when Mu Ziying and the others wanted to come forward to pick flowers, he stopped a few more people.

"Don't move yet, this small leaf purple snake flower is very delicate, if you pick the flowers directly, it will be useless when you bring them back, you have to dig them out together and send them back with mud."

Hearing his words, several members of the Mu family hurriedly took out their tools, carefully dug them out along the roots of the vines, and hurried back to Biyun Mountain.

When he returned to the beast garden, according to Zhou Chun's instructions, he stimulated it with snake saliva drip irrigation, so that the small purple flowers in full bloom closed one after another, and then picked them and fed them to those [Ink Scale Horses] one by one.

As a result, as Zhou Chun said, the medicine was cured, and only an hour had passed, and the [Ink Scale Horse], who had fallen to the ground, was able to stand up.

This matter quickly spread throughout the Mu family, and even several monks in the foundation building period of the Mu family were very happy after hearing about the cause and effect.

Because according to what Zhou Chun said, if the cause of the disease is not found out in time and the detoxification is successful within one day, most of those [Ink Scale Horses] will die violently, even if they are not all dead.

And if it weren't for Zhou Chun who happened to be in the Mu family, the Mu family would definitely not be able to do this in just one day.

For this reason, the patriarch of the Mu family specially asked Mu Yunshan to bring a treasure to Zhou Chun as a reward.
