Chapter Seventy-One: The Mysterious Langzhong
Lang Zhong shouted like this, but it scared Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi.
Zhang Fatzi jumped as if he stepped forward to cover his mouth, but was stopped by Ye Feng.
Ye Feng turned around and gave a deep salute to Lang Zhong, who was a little panicked, and said, "Sir, don't be surprised, my brother didn't say anything to Mr. just now, and we are here to apologize." ”
Lang Zhong looked at Ye Feng politely, but he was very unexpected, stopped shouting, and looked at Ye Feng a little stunned.
Ye Feng turned his head to the fat man Zhang and nodded at him, signaling him to step forward to apologize to Lang Zhong, but the fat man was unhappy in his heart, turned his head to the side, and pretended not to see it.
Ye Feng raised his leg and kicked him, Zhang Fat Man was helpless, so he stepped forward and shook Lang Zhong to the ground, and said loudly without good anger: "Sir, please, I offended Mr. before, and the kid is here to make amends to Mr., don't blame him." ”
Ye Feng saw that his attitude was extremely insincere, and he was clearly unconvinced, he raised his foot and wanted to kick again, but Zhang Fatzi was clever this time, and he suddenly dodged away.
Lang Zhong saw that they were suddenly so polite, so he believed that these two people were not looking for trouble, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He smiled reluctantly and said, "Just now I thought the two of you were angry, and they kept chasing after them to find the bad luck below, but they turned out to be ......."
Ye Feng smiled: "Let Mr. misunderstand, my brother has always been straightforward and fast-talking, if you offend Mr., please Haihan." ”
Lang Zhong also smiled and said: "It's okay, I was originally not good at medicine, so I was scolded as a quack, a charlatan or something, it's not once or twice." Fortunately, my skin is thick enough, and I have been scolded a lot, so I am used to it. ”
After speaking, he and Ye Feng both laughed, only Zhang Fatzi wrinkled his nose on the side and snorted coldly.
Lang Zhong said again: "It seems that the two of you came from afar, right?
Fat Zhang frowned.
This Lang Zhong is also very weird, just now he was shouting and screaming, so after a while, he began to climb into friendship, and he didn't ask people what they came to do first, he seemed to be a hospitable person, and he was familiar with everyone.
He was strange here, but Ye Feng understood a little.
When Lang Zhong was talking to him, a pair of eyes kept glancing outside the store, as if there was something unspeakable.
In fact, Ye Feng had already found out that since they had just returned to the town and started to inquire about Langzhong's medical hall, Ye Feng had found that there was an extra tail behind them, and someone had been staring at them secretly.
It seems that this Lang Zhong also noticed this, and he invited them to his house to explain what he was going to talk to Ye Feng about next, and it was not like being known by others.
It seems that this Lang Zhong is also a little not simple, Ye Feng couldn't help but think secretly.
Behind the small shop is a small courtyard, where Lang Zhong's home is located.
The yard is simple, there is nothing superfluous, but the yard is full of herbs that are being dried, and a smell of medicine comes to the nostrils.
Lang Zhong covered the courtyard gate, turned around to look at Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi, smiled, and suddenly asked without a head: "Where is my senior sister now?"
Masters?
Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi were both stunned, who is the senior sister in this Langzhong?
Lang Zhong looked at them and said with a smile: "As soon as I saw that prescription in the Zhu family's mansion, I knew that the people in the world who can prescribe such a prescription, except for my master and his old man, only my senior sister can use this medical skill." ”
Zhang Fatzi hadn't come back to his senses yet, but Ye Feng had suddenly understood, and asked, "Are you Cheng Shenyi's apprentice?"
Lang Zhong smiled: "Back then, I was honored to serve by his master's side for ten years, and was taught by his old man, but his old man's medical skills were superb, vast as the sea, exhausted for ten years, I just learned some skin, and it can be regarded as the most unsuccessful one among the many apprentices of the master." ”
Zhang Fatzi suddenly realized that this Lang Zhong was actually the apprentice of the divine doctor Cheng Sansi!
It's just that he looks like he's forty or fifty years old, but he calls Cheng Nianzhen, a young girl who is in her early teens, a "senior sister", which really makes Zhang Fatzi feel a little uncomfortable
Comfortable.
Lang Zhong forgot to glance at Zhang Fatzi, seemed to guess what he thought in his heart, and said with a faint smile: "This door is divided into respect and humility in the order of entry, when I worshiped the master twenty years ago, he already had a senior sister by his side, although she was only an infant baby at that time, so although she was young, I still need to call her senior sister." ”
Ye Feng nodded to show his understanding, the divine doctor Cheng Sansi is more old-fashioned and rigorous, it is said that the reason why he is called "Sansi" is also because whenever he prescribes medicine for patients, he must first prescribe three different prescriptions, and after repeated weighing and comparison, he chooses the most suitable one.
The rules of his apprentices mentioned by Lang Zhong are also quite in line with his rigid and rigorous character.
Zhang Fatzi felt even more uncomfortable in his heart, and couldn't help asking, "Then why did you pretend not to understand the prescription when you were in the Zhu family's mansion just now?"
He didn't understand, since this Lang Zhong had already seen the identity of the person who saw the prescription, why did he pretend not to understand it at all, and even led the suspicion of poisoning to Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi intentionally or unintentionally, isn't this a deliberate trick on people?
He didn't understand, but Ye Feng understood a little, and said, "Presumably, Mr. must have been a little jealous at that time, and it was inconvenient to tell the truth." ”
Lang Zhong nodded and said: "It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Ye Gongzi is the smartest person in the world, and it seems that what he said is true. ”
Ye Feng smiled and asked again: "Since Mr. is a disciple of Divine Doctor Cheng and can understand that prescription, with your medical skills, you must have already seen what kind of poison is in our friend in the Zhu family's mansion?"
Lang Zhong's face turned pale, and he said: "Speaking of which, this friend of yours must have offended an extremely powerful person, because the poison he has in is by no means an ordinary poison. ”
Ye Feng asked, "What kind of poison is he in?"
Lang Zhong said in a deep voice: "This poison has no name, and I have only seen a record of it from the Poison Sutra. This poison should come from the diet, there is nothing abnormal at the beginning of the poisoning, it will attack after a few hours, the whole body will begin to blacken, the toxicity goes with the blood, often within a day, it will die of anger. ”
Ye Feng asked, "Then is there a way to save it?"
Lang Zhong's face was gloomy, and he shook his head and said: "This poison is made with several extremely rare poisonous weeds and poisonous insects, although it is not as violent as some poisons when it attacks, and it can quickly kill people, but the most powerful thing about it is that there is no cure. ”
"There is no cure?" Zhang Fatzi was startled, "So, then our friend can only wait for death?"
Lang Zhong bowed his head and said, "Unfortunately, this is indeed the case. ”
When Ye Feng heard this, his heart suddenly cooled half, but he was still a little unwilling, and said: "I heard that all things in the world are mutually reinforcing, and yin and yang complement each other, but where there are poisonous insects and poisonous weeds, there must be something corresponding that can restrain them, how can there be no cure?"
Lang Zhong nodded and said: "What Ye Gongzi said is indeed good, everything in the world complements each other, and restrains each other, although these poisonous weeds and poisonous insects are highly toxic, they do have a way to resolve them." However, when these poisonous weeds and poisonous insects are refined together, their toxicity will also change, so the original antidote will become ineffective. Perhaps there is a way to remove this poison, but unfortunately, no one has found it so far. ”
When Ye Feng heard this, he was immediately speechless, since this Lang Zhong is a disciple of Cheng Shenyi, what he said must be true, could it be that the poisonous snake can only wait for death now?
And they, can only watch the poisonous snake die, and there is nothing they can do, nothing can be done?
This feeling of powerlessness makes people feel even more desperate.
Zhang Fatzi couldn't help but murmured: "Impossible, it can't be incurable, it must be your medical skills, if Doctor Cheng or Miss Cheng are here, there will definitely be a way." ”
Lang Zhong didn't refute, just smiled bitterly, thought about it, and said, "Maybe there is really a glimmer of life." ”
Ye Feng and the others were like drowning people who saw a life-saving straw, and they all looked up at Lang Zhong and asked, "What way?"
Lang Zhong groaned and said, "If this world is true
If there is a cure for this poison, then the only person who knows how to prepare the antidote is probably one person. ”
Ye Feng asked, "Who is it?"
Lang Zhong sighed: "To untie the bell, you must tie the bell." ”
Ye Feng was stunned for a moment and asked, "You mean, the person who poisoned him?"
Lang Zhong nodded: "That's right." People who usually use poison often always bring the corresponding antidote with them, just in case they accidentally hurt themselves, not to mention that this is still such a rare poison, if there is really only one person in this world who will have the antidote to this poison, I think it can only be the murderer of this poison. ”
Fat Zhang couldn't help but start sighing.
Speaking of which, it is still necessary to find out the murderer who poisoned him.
But this matter was originally so bizarre, and now Ye Feng and the others couldn't even enter the Zhu family's mansion, so how could they find out this murderer?
Lang Zhong looked at their expressions, smiled faintly and said, "As the saying goes, there is no endless road, but I really have a clue to find the murderer here." Maybe it can help you. ”
Ye Feng raised his head sharply and asked, "What is the clue?"
Lang Zhong said slowly: "Although it has been many years since I saw the record of this poison in the Poison Sutra, I still vaguely remember that the refining method of this poison was mentioned in the book was extremely complicated, and it also required a medicinal material made of a rare poisonous insect, called cantharid. ”
"Cantharids themselves are a small insect that contains highly poisonous, which becomes a medicinal material after being dried and concocted, and what is needed to make this poison is an extremely rare kind of red insect that grows in the dense forests of the south, the blood-red cantharid!"
He looked at Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi and smiled: "Coincidentally, I know that in this small town, there is a place where this rare medicinal herb is available. ”
Zhang Fatzi hurriedly asked, "Where is it?"
Lang Zhong looked at him and said, "It is in the place where you grabbed the medicine, and it is also the only pharmacy in this town, where I have seen this extremely rare medicinal herb. ”
Ye Feng understood, and said: "What you mean is that we just need to follow this clue and find out who such a rare medicinal material has been sold to, so that we can find the person who made this poison." ”
Lang Zhong smiled: "Ye Gongzi is really smart, no wonder my senior sister will be especially favored by you." ”
It seems that about the rumors between Ye Feng and Miss Cheng, this Lang Zhong has also heard about it.
In the end, Lang Zhong shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's just that all this is just my speculation, as for whether it can succeed or not, it depends on the will of God." ”
Zhang Fatzi was about to jump up, looking impatient: "Then what are you waiting for, let's hurry up and investigate now!"
He was about to leave, but Lang Zhong grabbed him, pointed to the back of the courtyard, and said, "Go through the back door." ”
Zhang Fatzi was stunned, but Ye Feng understood, the people who were secretly staring at them now must still be guarding outside the courtyard gate, no matter who they were, I am afraid it would be difficult to carry out the investigation smoothly without getting rid of them.
After a pause, he opened his mouth and asked Lang Zhong, "What should you do if we leave?"
Lang Zhong smiled and said: "What can you plan? Since you have all found the door, I can still have a child there? No matter what you can find out or not, the murderer who poisoned me will definitely be able to guess that I revealed the clues to you, so it seems that I can't stay in this town anymore, so I can only pack up my things and fly away." ”
Hearing him say this, Ye Feng felt a little guilty in his heart, in order to help himself, this Lang Zhong had to leave this place to avoid trouble, and he really affected him.
However, he faintly felt a little strange in his heart, and couldn't help but ask: "Dare to ask sir, since you are a senior disciple of Doctor Cheng, and you are so thoughtful in everything, why would you deign to live in seclusion in such a small town? I don't think you are here for no reason, right?"
Lang Zhong obviously didn't expect him to ask this question, he was stunned for a moment, but then showed a mysterious smile: "Now is not the time, when the time comes, you will know the answer." ”
His smile was so mysterious, and his words were even more unfathomable, Ye Feng felt that this Langzhong was really not simple!
