Chapter 6 Family Illness

"The old man is just a hermit, just a false name," Youguzi waved his hand and motioned for Tian Yi to sit down: "Gongzi praises, this is my apprentice~~."

"My name is Crescent Moon", before Youguzi finished speaking, the girl grabbed the words.

Crescent moon, hearing this name, Tian Yi couldn't help but look down at his thumb, and his index finger unconsciously scratched the crescent moon on his thumb, the black crescent. Such a nice name, but it is a sign of a bad disease in oneself, which really makes people feel indescribably awkward.

"I met Tian An at Taniguchi when Master and I returned, and he has already told you all about your situation," Yue'er continued.

"Do you know Tian An? Tian An is also a disciple of Mr."? Tian Yi asked.

"No, Tian An is not an old man's disciple", Youguzi replied, "There is a secluded small valley not far from Yougu, called Jinggu, Ling Zun chose to open a school in Jinggu that year, and sent the generals of the military camp to Jinggu to practice literature and martial arts, and cultivate talents. The two valleys are not far apart, and the disciples sometimes play with each other and exchange experiences, so it is not surprising that Yue'er and Tian An know each other."

It turned out that Jinggu was the place where Tian An had told him about learning on the road, no wonder he hadn't seen Tian An's junior brother in the past few days.

"Childe's family illness is indeed an incurable disease," Yuguzi continued.

A "family disease"? Tian Yi was a little surprised: "My whole family suffers from this disease? Isn't it just me? Tian Yi subconsciously looked at his thumb, he always thought that the black color of the thumb cover might be a family heirloom, and he never thought that it was a manifestation of illness.

"It's a family genetic disease, I diagnosed and treated your father and brother back then, and you later", Ji Yue took over: "When you are born with this disease, there will be a black line at the root of your thumb nail, and as the disease progresses, the black line becomes thicker and grows with the nails, and when the nail cover is completely black, Yang Shou is coming." Later, it was found that the illness would be slightly alleviated when Hou Ye returned to his hometown for a period of time, and it was found that the water, soil and food of Dongpingling seemed to be effective for this disease, although it could not be cured, but it could be greatly alleviated."

"So my father has always asked me to give birth in the old house, and this father has told me about it." Tian Yi remembered that when his father came to see him last year, it seemed that most of his armor was black: "My father worked hard for state affairs, but he couldn't go back to his hometown to recuperate. I don't know what my brother's condition is."

Ji Yue glanced at Tian Yi and continued: "This disease is caused by the innate malformation of the heart. Hou Ye was no different from ordinary people before forty, and he only began to get sick after forty, and Brother Ling should be the same. The pulse of the two of them also showed that the heart pulse was narrow, resulting in a lack of qi and blood and the onset of the disease. On the contrary, Childe may have something to do with his diet, and he has been suffering from the disease since he was eight or nine years old, but his body seems to be stronger than that of your father and brother, and his heart and pulse do not appear to be narrow. In this way, it seems that Childe's illness is still expected to be cured. ”

"In addition to looking at the situation in the world this time, I have discovered the legacy of your family", Youguzi said: "This starts with Grandfather Ling, the old man once showed Grandfather Ling's symptoms." Tian Yi and Ji Yue's eyes both turned to Youguzi.

During the reign of Emperor Jing, the Qi State continued to learn from the Jixia Palace, recruiting bachelors from all over the world, the talented can be teachers, good scholars can be apprentices, those who advocate different can argue, many great sages are here to lecture and accept apprentices, and the Jixia School Palace can be described as a hundred schools of thought contending, flourishing for a while. The school palace recruited talents for the Great Qi, among which the general Wang clan Tian Zhang, Xiangguo Gongsun Gu, and five scholars were all from the school palace, and the Qi country also reached its heyday.

In the twenty-third year of Emperor Jing, Yan was in turmoil, and the general Tian Zhang took the opportunity to raise troops to attack Yan, and in less than two months, the Qi army drove straight into and occupied almost all the cities of Yan.

Later, the general Tian Zhang was attacked by a hidden arrow, although he was not hit by the arrow, he only scratched his cheek, but he couldn't afford to get sick.

At this time, Youguzi traveled here and was invited to consult Tian Zhang for a few days, and the symptoms were weakness in the heart and pulse, and more than half of the thumb cover was black. Upon inquiry, Tian Zhangzu did not have this disease, but it was a new disease. Although his condition improved, he was still weak and had no choice but to return to China to recuperate.

The army had a long front, no commander in the army, disorganized, and the follow-up supply was insufficient, and it was eaten up and resisted by the Yan army, and the city was recaptured by the Yan army in a few months.

Tian Zhang was in a bad mood because of this, and the king gave him a marriage, and in less than five years, the old disease recurred, leaving his two sons behind. These two sons are Tian Jian and Tian Mo, both of whom suffer from this disease.

"What has Master discovered", Ji Yue was obviously more interested in the treatment of the disease.

Youguzi said thoughtfully: "The great general Tian Zhang may not have been sick, but poisoned, this time the master went to the northwest border of Yan Kingdom and the border with Donghu, and listened to the local residents say that the Donghu people hunt beasts, that is, they smear a kind of poisonous weed juice on the arrowheads, shoot the beasts, and hurt their hearts. This poisonous weed is rare, so it is only used to hunt prey. Later, the general of the Yan army learned that the imitation of the extraction of poisonous weed juice soaked in arrowheads, also because the number was very small, so it was dedicated to shooting enemy generals. ”!

"Can there be evidence for Master's suspicions"? Ji Yue continued to ask.

"Of course, when I met a villager who died violently at the border of Huyan, I found out that it was caused by accidentally eating poisonous weeds, and the symptom was the blackening of the thumb cover. Therefore, the division suspected that the general's cheek was bruised by an arrow, and it was very likely that he was poisoned, but because of the small amount of poison, he was not killed at that time, but it was left in the body and passed on to the heirs"! Youguzi looked at the crescent moon again: "This matter is thanks to the crescent moon, she is originally from the Yan country, so the trip is smooth with her as the guide."

"If there is such a doubt, can there be an antidote"? Ji Yue's interest became stronger and stronger.

"The elders of the local villagers said that this grass is called silvertail grass, and it only grows on the edge of the cliff, and the number is very small, and it is very difficult to find! Legend has it that the essence of Shou Wu can cure this poison". The crescent moon was quick to speak, and she answered before the master.

Ji Yue thought for a moment and said: "If the guess is true, but it is not poisoned at this moment, the poison passed down by the elders has been stationed in the body for many years, even if the antidote is really found, I don't know what the situation is when I take it."

Tian Yi said calmly: "I'm used to this disease, and I don't care too much, but I'm just worried about my father and brother who don't know what's going on."

"Brother Ling should be worry-free for the time being, but the Marquis of Pingling", Ji Yue paused: "A few months ago, I checked Hou Ye's pulse, and the pulse showed that Hou Ye's heart pulse was almost exhausted, and the limit was just a few months, and I had already explained it to Hou Ye at that time."

"So Tian An told the old man that the Marquis of Pingling forced the palace to rebel, and the old man felt very strange, the Marquis of Pingling is known for his loyalty, and the limit is approaching, what is the plan for the rebellion, it doesn't make sense, there must be something strange in it"! Youguzi looked at Tian Yi: "Childe is here to recuperate quietly first, and see what news Tian An has."

Tian Yi said with a straight face: "What Mr. said is very true, there is still one thing to ask for in the future, I don't know if Mr. can agree"?

"Childe has something to say, please speak, don't be polite", Youguzi said with a smile.

"If you want to worship Mr. as a teacher, please don't push it back", Tian Yi got up and bowed.

"This is easy, the old man will test the son, and you can pass it", Youguzi was also happy, and replied with a smile: "I stand on this stone bench, if the son makes me willing to return to the ground, this matter will be done."

With that, Youguzi immediately stood on the stone bench like a naughty child.

Tian Yi thought for a moment, and then said: "It is more difficult to let Mr. come down from the stone bench than to ascend to the sky, but if Mr. stands on the ground, it is extremely easy to let Mr. go up to the stone bench."

Youguzi laughed: "This trick has been used by disciples in previous years, and the old man is not fooled."

"It seems that I have no relationship with Mr. in the next place, and I am stupid in talent, and I really can't climb high, so I don't force Mr. anymore", Tian Yi's expression was a little gloomy.

"You kid, why is it so easy to give up", Youguzi came down from the stone bench and stroked Tian Yi's shoulder.

"Thank Master for Completion"! Tian Yi suddenly knelt down and bowed.

Youguzi touched the back of his head and laughed silently: "Good apprentice, I prevented you from thinking that you were fake, but I didn't prevent you from retreating"!

Everyone laughed, and Yueya couldn't help but look at Tian Yi twice, thinking in her heart: "I can't imagine that this kid is so smart"!
