Book 2: The Journey of the Dead One Hundred and Fifty-Six: Strange from the vastness

Qiu Shaohu was speechless, and suddenly he dodged, came to Wei Shuo's side, and swept towards Wei Shuo.

Wei Shuo practiced medicine in the capital, had a good reputation, and his contacts were terrifyingly wide. It was easy for him to hide so many things under a manor in the capital.

If this is the case, he also has an indescribable relationship with the Zhenchi Sect, then the performance of the previous monster turmoil, this person is really terrifying.

At present, his illness may be completely pretended to avoid people's eyes and ears.

The wind howled and swept in directly. Qiu Shaohu was aiming at Wei Shuo's crutches, which was a temptation.

"Bang-" Wei Shuo's crutches were knocked away, and he fell to the ground, unable to get up directly.

"What are you doing?" Shen Xinfu ran from behind at this time, and was very angry when she saw this, and was about to rush over.

The rain pupil was directly blocked in front of her, and despite her small body, Shen Xinfu really felt a breath that only fierce beasts had from her body, and she really didn't dare to move.

"Are you really sick?" Qiu Shaohu saw that Wei Shuo barely got up, so he could only sit on the ground, panting heavily.

Wei Shuo's performance just now was obviously really seriously ill and fell directly to the ground, but if he pretended, he would definitely be a little sluggish, but he didn't look like he was cheating.

"I'm not sick," Wei Shuo smiled, looked at the puzzled Qiu Shaohu, and said, "Only those who are cured well are called sick." This was brought by me in my mother's womb, and I can only call for my life. Even my teachers couldn't cure me. Doctors can only treat diseases and save people, not change lives."

Qiu Shaohu motioned to Yu Tong, and the puppy let Shen Xinfu go, and Shen Xinfu immediately ran to Wei Shuo's side, helped him up and sat on the chair on the side, and at the same time glared at Qiu Shaohu angrily.

"It's okay, it's okay, I can feel it, he doesn't actually have any ill intentions." Wei Shuo said to Shen Xinfu.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Qiu Shaohu looked at the frail Wei Shuo, as if he was born with insufficient qi and blood, but looking at his steady breath and ruddy complexion, it was not like that. Maybe it's because he's good at medicine and can regulate himself. But even if he has enough qi and blood, Wei Shuo is still weak in his limbs, as if the functions of his entire limbs have been deprived, and he seems to be seriously ill and incurable, why is it?

"Dead wood disease, or dystrophy," Wei Shuo smiled as if he didn't care, and said, "People like me look healthy, but they are like trees with broken roots, and slowly, their limbs will wither like branches, and then there will be the body, not only will they not be able to walk, but they may not even be able to breathe by contracting their chests slowly. My teacher told me that when I was twenty years old, I would lose all the ability to move and become a wooden man lying in bed, able to hear and think, but unable to move or speak. So now, I'm still able to walk, which is the luckiest thing to do."

"This disease will not take you away from the world, but it will take away your world little by little, making you feel like you are frozen in your body, gradually freezing, and everything begins to be numb."

"That's why some people call it, ALS."

Wei Shuo's expression was as usual, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with him.

"Sir......" But Shen Xinfu's expression was already heartbroken. Only by taking care of himself by his side did he know how painful Wei Shuo's illness was after so many long days and nights.

Qiu Shaohu was silent. He had heard of this disease before. In the classics of the Island of Forgetfulness, it is also recorded that this kind of person looks very healthy, with no symptoms of qi, blood, and bones, but suddenly he will be sluggish, and as he grows older, his movement becomes more and more difficult, until he finally collapses and dies.

It is difficult for doctors to find out the cause of this disease, and in the end, it can only be attributed to qi and blood failure and musculoskeletal dystrophy, so it is called "impotence". But the cultivators gave a different answer from another angle.

Ordinary people are conceived in the combination of yin and yang, born by the innate qi, and the innate qi is transformed into the acquired in the process of growth, and gradually differentiates into three souls and seven spirits. The three souls belong to the divine sense, so that the person has the spirit to distinguish right from wrong; The seven spirits belong to the body, so people have the physical strength to move in all directions. The three souls and seven spirits are both united and separated, and when a person is alive, they all belong to the same body, so that they constitute a complete "person".

But everything is not absolute, there is this special phenomenon in the world, that is, the seven spirits still exist, but the three souls are gradually weakened, and people go crazy, lose their minds, and then become the walking dead; Or conversely, if the three souls exist, people's spiritual wisdom is not reduced, but the seven spirits are declining day by day, it will be Wei Shuo's current situation, and his actions are more and more hindered.

This kind of thing seems abnormal, but it is innate, and it is almost impossible to change, and it can only be reversed by the failure of the seven spirits. As Wei Shuo said, this is not so much a "disease" as his "life".

The Book of Cultivation on the Island of Forgetfulness only mentions this phenomenon, but does not suggest a cure for it. It should be said that the method of Shinto cultivation is already extremely strict, and it still depends on people's talents, so how can there be special means to make up for people's lack of talents? It's like teaching people to run, people with sound legs still think that ordinary people run slowly, how can they think about how to train a cripple to become a normal person?

"Maybe there's a way to do it in the cave?" Qiu Shaohu thought that the cultivation technique that relied on the soul in the cave might be helpful to Wei Shuo right now. But the cave has long disappeared for many years, where can they come to help Wei Shuo?

"I know some guiding techniques that can strengthen the body, maybe ......," Qiu Shaohu said.

"I know, I've tried five fowl plays and the like, but it didn't work for me." Wei Shuo shook his head and said, "The technique of guidance can dredge the meridians and speed up the blood flow, but I said that this disease is like a tree with broken roots, the source has been broken, and the qi and blood have no way to come at all, so how can we talk about dredging the meridians? If it is said that Peiyuan is solid, there are still some curative effects. I have prescribed myself a few doses of medicine, but when I actually take it, the effect is not as good as I imagined. Now that I think about it, maybe it is because of the saying that "it is difficult for a doctor to heal himself", and it is always difficult to concentrate when I see a doctor myself, and I can't make up my mind when I should take some strong medicine."

"Sir, don't talk about it," Shen Xinfu said in a low voice, "Blame me......

"I don't blame you, I know my own illness." Seeing that Qiu Shaohu was puzzled, Wei Shuo explained, "My assistant, like me, was born with a problem brought from the mother's womb. I still have a sense of consciousness and a weak body, so I can't give people a pulse, but Xiaofu is the opposite, she is born with a strong physique, and her skin and muscles are extremely sharp, which is just right to give people a pulse instead of me. But correspondingly, her body is developed, but her thinking is not active enough, she can't memorize so many medical skills, and she can't remember what medicine to take for any disease, so she can only treat people, but she can't go to compatibility and diagnosis and treatment. You can't help me to see if the medicine I gave myself is right."

"Maybe people have shortcomings, but the misfortune of me and her is that the shortcomings are too conspicuous compared to ordinary people. But luckily, our shortcomings complement each other."

"So, you don't want to be appointed lightly, and you still feel that you are sick and try to treat it, right?" Qiu Shaohu said: "Then you want to cure yourself, whether it is because you don't want to make yourself different from others, or because of your own resistance to fate."

"It's because curing me was my teacher's lifelong pursuit." Wei Shuo said, "My teacher has never seen a patient like me, he is obsessed with healing, and his last wish is to cure me."

"It's as simple as that?" Qiu Shaohu was surprised, Wei Shuo's words meant that he didn't take his situation to heart at all.

"Actually, I'm used to it. I wasn't obsessed with healing like my teacher, and I never wanted to be a doctor. Ordinary people seem to know what "disease" is, but they don't understand it. What is cured well is disease, and what is not cured well is life. But who has the final say on the so-called "good cure"? When a person coughs, the cough becomes a disease and needs to be cured. But if all people in the world are born with coughs, and only one person does not cough, will not coughing become a disease that needs to be cured? There are always people who are different, and not everything has to be taken for granted. It's like a bird that can fly more than a man, but it lives shorter than a man, and that's what we are used to."

"However, curing me is my teacher's last wish after all, and I don't want to disappoint him."

"You're a pure person, pure not like a bad person." Yu Tong suddenly spoke, and Wei Shuo and Shen Xinfu were startled by the little black dog who could talk.

Ignoring their surprise, Rain Hitomi said to herself, "But now, we need your help. This kind of thing, I used to call your doctor

The hall flag was transported to a place and hidden. It seems to be a medicinal herb, and we need your help."

Yu Tong said, and directly threw a black branch-like thing to Wei Shuo, which was really a dried corpse of worm Gu that he had taken from that tunnel warehouse before.

Wei Shuo was surprised, so he asked Shen Xinfu to pick it up and take a look. After a while, he suddenly said, "Fu worm."

"What?" Qiu Shaohu was puzzled.

"Most of the people who get sick are suffering from occasional cold, imbalance of yin and yang, lack of physical fitness, and even internal imbalance. This kind of disease, as long as the right medicine is prescribed and carefully regulated, can be cured. As for trauma, it is not a problem to use the right medication. However, there are only nine diseases, which are commonly diagnosed and treated, and it is difficult to determine the source of the disease. Physicians of the past generations concluded that it was caused by nine insects. The nine insects, namely the worms, the worms, the white worms, the ravaging worms, the lung worms, the stomach worms, the mustache worms, the red worms, and the dung worms, are both nine insects and nine diseases, and can also be regarded as the nine evils. But all people who are born between heaven and earth, there are yin and yang, more or less, all things cannot grow and cannot leave, they are all righteousness. These nine are the only ones that seem to be born specifically for the purpose of curing diseases, and they do not have any other benefits for the human body, so they are evil spirits."

"When this worm lives, it should be cyan. It can eat people's essence and blood, and scatter people's true yuan. But the doctors never found its source, did not know where it came from, and how it parasitized the human body."

"I've just heard that in the world, there seem to be some people who use this as a practice and use it as a prop for their motivation. And because these nine insects do not know their origin in heaven and earth, some people believe that they originate from the other side and transmit power that does not belong to this world. Some people even think that they were born into the starry sky, and they specialize in catching such insects, trying to borrow their power to reach the stars."
