Chapter Eighty-Nine: Divergent Directions

The mussel demon seller in the mouth of the Great Tengu was originally a big demon in the 'Holy Hand Rakshasa', but later he somehow listened to the words of the drunken boy and changed his door to the command of the 'Hundred Ghosts Night Walk'.

When the wine swallow boy was still alive, he did not get along with the Ibaraki boy, and after the wine swallow boy was seriously injured and died, he did not get along with the Ibaraki boy until he died, and even released a word that he was coerced by the Ibaraki boy to enter the 'Hundred Ghost Night Walk'.

Originally, the 'Holy Hand Rakshasa' and the Ibaraki boy were a little discordant, but this remark made the relationship between the two even worse and fell to the freezing point. If it weren't for the combat strength of the 'Holy Hand Rakshasa', he would have led the crowd to the territory of the 'Hundred Ghosts Night Walk' to peel the skin and cramp the Ibaraki boy, how could he still be allowed to jump until now.

The Snow Maiden sighed softly, a look of distress on her face, "How can I not know him, I just didn't think of him for a while." It's just that he's really ......."

Half of her words added distress to her face, and the second half of her words were sad.

The big tengu is also very distressed, and the seller has already formed a bond with the Ibaraki boy, and even has a deep grudge against him. They begged the seller to save people on the orders of the Ibaraki boy, and he would not agree, as long as they didn't poison them, thank God.

The two of them looked at each other, both of them in general distress.

The Great Tengu thought about it, and suddenly thought of something, and his face leaked with joy, and he exclaimed, "That's right!

Seeing that he was overjoyed, the Snow Girl hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?!"

The Great Tengu smoothed out his train of thought and told the Snow Maiden about the old past.

In fact, the seller used to be not called this name, he used to be a barefoot doctor, often went into the mountains to treat people without charging a consultation fee, the world was grateful for his kindness and did not know his name, so he called him 'medicine seller'.

Once, Emperor Konoe was seriously ill, and there was no one in Nijo Castle who could heal him, so in desperation, he posted a list of doctors from all over the world to treat Emperor Konoe.

As soon as the news spread ten, ten, and hundreds, it naturally reached the ears of the medicine seller.

He had no intention of the temple, let alone fame and fortune, but he came to the Imperial Palace of Nijo Castle to treat the emperor with the benevolence of a doctor.

Before he came to the clinic, several scattered folk doctors failed one after another and died, and none of the remaining famous doctors dared to come after getting the news.

In this way, the medicine seller wore a ragged suit and carried a huge medicine box on his back, and walked in with the disdainful eyes of everyone in the imperial palace.

There were even people in the Imperial Palace who whispered, "Another one who came to die!"

"Are you really here to die?"

The medicine seller smiled faintly and ignored it, still walking firmly towards Emperor Konoe's bedroom.

Because of his humble status, he could only be diagnosed by hanging a thread, which undoubtedly made it a lot more difficult for him to be treated.

But the medicine seller is not afraid, he has traveled through the mountains and rivers since he was a child, he has never seen any diseases, what incurable diseases have not been diagnosed, even if the emperor has a very rare strange disease, he will also treat it.

The moment he held the silk, he was confident that he didn't care about anything.

But...... This time, he failed, and he couldn't see what was wrong with Emperor Konoe's body, let alone what illness he had. His pulse is weak or weak, but he is very stable, and he really doesn't look like a dying person.

I saw beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down my forehead, and my trembling hands couldn't hold the soft silk.

You know, his hands are so steady that he can stack ten hot eggs on top of them at the same time!

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could the emperor be so seriously ill and !! such a smooth and stable pulse?"

Suddenly, a few fierce coughs interrupted the medicine seller's thoughts, and the attendants beside the emperor asked in a solemn and disdainful tone, "What have you seen after all this time?"

The medicine seller wanted to shake his head, but when he thought of the few doctors who were beheaded in different places, he was scared.

He tightened his face, squeezed out a smile and replied: "Look again, look again, just for a while!"

The attendant sighed, "If you can't see it, don't look at it, it's just a cheap life, how many famous doctors have the same idea as you, and take this opportunity to get glory, wealth, and high-ranking officials, and they don't weigh whether their lives are worth it! I see you, it's no different from those quacks, give up as soon as possible!"

"I'm not here for profit, the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit, but what does this have to do with me?"

Hearing what he said, the attendant's face was a little more puzzled, "Then why are you here?"

"Preach the Tao, prove my healing Tao, and maybe have some mercy. ”

These words reached the ears of the attendants, as if they were hearing that a little monkey was about to wrestle his wrists like an elephant.

"Hahahaha, it's the funniest and most arrogant joke I've heard in years! ”

The medicine seller talked to him for a few words, and his mood suddenly relaxed, even if it was a mocking word, it was better than not saying anything. He suddenly asked boldly: "Seeing a doctor pays attention to looking, smelling, asking, and cutting, and I can't judge accurately with only one means, so I can't dare to look at the emperor?"

The attendant's face suddenly froze, and he said sharply: "Is the emperor what you want to see?

Suddenly, two tall guards walked in from outside the door, one on the left and one on the right.

At the same time, there was a violent cough from the Emperor, and the Emperor said weakly while coughing, "Let him come closer." ”

The attendant said, "But ......."

"Let him come!"

How dare the emperor's order be disobeyed, the attendant waved his hand, and the two guards threw down the medicine seller.

He no longer cares about whether he can see the emperor's illness, but whether he can continue to live.

In this world, everyone cherishes their life incomparably, and the same is true for the medicine seller, although he has been ordered by the emperor to live for a while longer, the sharp blade hanging above his head will still fall anytime and anywhere!

He thought of many prescriptions in his heart, and the medical books he had read and the cases he had seen in the past flashed out in his mind one by one, and those strange words just came to life, word by word, sentence by sentence.

He saluted respectfully to the Emperor, and then gently lifted the curtain with trembling hands, startled by the sight before him.

I saw that Emperor Konoe was already as thin as dry wood, his two eye sockets were deeply sunken, and his eyes were abnormally large, and his gray hair was half bald, not at all like a man of about fourteen.

Such a scrawny man, but his belly is unusually huge, like a huge leather ball, and the veins are about to be exposed.

His mouth always smelled fishy, and the smell was even worse than that of a latrine in the middle of summer, and it was impossible to smell it a second time.

Emperor Konoe smiled considerately at the surprised look of the medicine seller, and gently shook the medicine seller's hand.

"Look, I don't blame you for not seeing it. I lied to you about the people I killed before, and I was afraid that I would die faster after taking the medicine of quacks, so I put those doctors under house arrest, just to let those who have confidence come to see me, after all, life is more precious than fame and fortune, right?"

The medicine seller nodded, even if the family wealth was lost, it was like dust.

He gently touched the Konoe Emperor's wrist with his four fingers, listening to his pulse. One, two, three...... Suddenly, his pulse beat violently, and the Emperor coughed violently, even coughing up a trace of blood.

The medicine seller doesn't know why, and after exhausting his life's learning, he can't see why he coughs so badly.

I don't know when, a yin wind blew through the door, and Emperor Konoe coughed even more when the wind blew.

"Aren't the doors and windows closed here?"

The attendant said disdainfully: "Are you joking, how can the emperor see the wind when his body is so weak? The cracks in the four windows are covered with paper, so that no trace of wind can enter." ”

"What?!There is no wind?Where did the wind come from?" The medicine seller suppressed the suspicion in his heart, and looked at Emperor Konoe's face again.

But as soon as the cold wind passed, a little pitch black appeared on his face, and the blood vessels on his face became dark.

"It's ...... The Emperor is not sick, but has fallen into an evil spirit!"

He often walks in the mountains, so he has naturally seen some spirits and monsters sucking the blood of people, and Emperor Konoe has the same face as those who are haunted by demons, and even surpasses them.

The medicine seller squinted his eyes at the squire's expression again, and his heart suddenly became clear.

"It turns out that they have joined forces to recruit evil spirits to murder the emperor! Those famous doctors in Nijo Castle are probably also killed because they saw through the evil spirits! The only person who can do this is his father, Emperor Toba, is his brother Emperor Shotoku. Emperor Toba has great power and will definitely not harm this puppet, so everything is set up by Emperor Chongde!"

Thinking of this section, he no longer dared to act rashly!

Suddenly, he went crazy! Completely crazy inside and out!

The squire himself could not imagine how a good person could suddenly go mad, and he asked, "Young man, what's wrong with you?"

"Hahahaha, it's okay, I'm just hungry, you give me something to eat." ”

"Fool around! You take a good look at your illness, if you can't be cured, just say it, don't make some mess here!"

As soon as he said this, he really shut up. Suddenly, his face changed drastically and he pointed behind the attendant, his expression becoming more and more terrifying, as if he had seen a ghost in the daytime.

"Look, look, there's a guy behind you, he's got sunken eyes, he's skinny, and his hair is gray at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and he's even half bald. You look back and see who he is?!"

Who else could he be talking about when he said this, the Emperor Konoe on the bed? The attendant shuddered at what he said, and shivered coldly.

And Emperor Konoe, who had been coughing non-stop at the moment, actually stopped coughing, "Could it be...... He's dead, and the ghost behind me is he's incarnated?"

Thinking of this, the attendant shuddered, and did not dare to look at the person lying on the bed again.

He was frightened and said, "You, you, don't talk nonsense!"

"Ahh

He said it very sincerely, and his eyes slowly drifted from behind the squire to his side, as if someone had really walked over from there.

The attendants were stunned, people often said that wicked people are not afraid of ghosts, but there are a few people who have done bad things that are not afraid, not to mention that he is doing a big thing to murder the emperor!

The attendant's eyes stared at the medicine seller for a moment, and he didn't dare to bother for a moment, and he said in his heart: "Is there really any retribution in this world?

The medicine seller looked ahead in horror and horror, as if there was really a person in front of him, and suddenly he screamed, and the cry was so high and thin that it didn't look like a young man's voice.

Suddenly, he stretched out his hands and choked his throat, as if he had been choked by someone, and after a while, his face had become black and purple, and with a few "poofs", he actually pulled out and urine on the spot.

The attendant was stunned, he wanted to run, but he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to move, how could he run?

The medicine seller spoke again, and he really couldn't figure out how he could speak after being strangled so much by himself. I only heard him say angrily: "Thank you for the reward!"

Then take off your pants and kneel on the ground to lick all the feces and urine inside!
