"The one who saved your life. ”

Xiao Jiu stepped forward quickly and handed the medicine bottle to Master Mao, "Drink it." ”

Master Mao's eyes showed a hint of danger, and he only stared at Xiao Jiu, and did not take the medicine bottle in his hand.

To deal with such a patient, Xiao Jiu has always had his own set.

He stretched out his hand back expressionlessly, "Life is yours, it's up to you to drink it or not." ”

Aunt Gua hurriedly took the medicine bottle from his hand and smiled at him: "I'll come." She took off the cork, put it to her nose and sniffed it, and handed it to Master Mao.

"Brother Mao. ”

After Master Mao lowered his eyelids with an iron face, he was silent for a moment before drinking all the grass dew in the medicine bottle. A little blood appeared on the pale face, and Aunt Gua exhaled and thanked Xiao Jiu gratefully.

Master Mao raised his eyes after adjusting his breath, his expression let go of some vigilance, and his tone was still light, "You say, I was poisoned?"

Xiao Jiu lowered his head and put the stone he was holding on the table. The stone gurgled around before it stopped, and I looked at the strange pattern on its surface.

He looked at the man on the stone couch, "Do you know this kind of stone?"

Before Master Mao could say anything, Aunt Gua ran over and picked up the stone to look at it, her body trembled, "This, this is not ......" She turned to the stone couch again and exclaimed, "Brother Mao, you have been poisoned by a stone?"

Stone...... Poison?

Then I remembered that I had been injured by this patterned stone in the cave that day, and then I gradually fell unconscious. Fortunately, it has been detoxified now...... I couldn't help but look towards my legs, and a gaze followed me. I took advantage of the situation and saw that Hu Xiaoer was retracting his gaze, touching his chin very seriously, and there was a suspicious flush on his face.

Xiao Jiu retrieved the stone from Aunt Gua's hand, put it back on the table and frowned: "It would be nice if only this kind of poison was hit." ”

"What...... What do you mean?" exclaimed.

Master Mao pursed his lips and was silent.

The other four pairs of eyes in the cave all fell on Xiao Jiu, only to hear him continue: "This stone was born in a hot rock fire. The perennial fire has caused strange patterns to grow on the surface, but the inside has formed a new fetus. If it shatters in half, you can see the purple-black crystals in it, which you often call stone poison. If you accidentally touch it, you will become weak and gradually fall into a coma, and even your life will be in danger. This poison is extremely fierce, so it is named 'snake purple' in the medicine book. But—"

While speaking, Xiao Jiu paused, his eyes moved down but he looked at me, and his face was still slightly empty.

Soon, he returned to normal, and said: "However, if you use grass dew as medicine to find the two things Xuanduzi and Tianjiang Flower, you can cure the poison of snake purple, so you don't have to worry." ”

"But I found that," Xiao Jiu said this, the wrinkles between his eyebrows deepened, and his tone towards Master Mao became heavy, "Snake purple has remained in your body for many years, and you have not taken the antidote, but you have been able to survive until now, because there is still a residue in your body that is compatible with it." It belongs to yin deficiency, and snake purple is yang, yin and yang are mutually restrained, and water and fire are incompatible. Those two samples are extremely harmful, and when they collide together, they form an even more ferocious poison, which also makes your body change dramatically. ”

"One of the things that has a bulging heart and frequent colic is one of them. What's even more terrifying is ......" Xiao Jiu stopped again, staring at that face, his gaze dimming inch by inch.

Although the person on the stone couch had a shocked face, his tone was still calm as usual, "What's even more terrifying is that my body has begun to grow backwards. ”

He replied on behalf of Xiao Jiu, "You're right, heart hangings have been tormenting me all these years. I thought that after that incident, I would have become a monster, not only did not age, but became younger and younger, and I became the person I am today. I didn't expect it to be because I was poisoned. ”

Speaking of this, Master Mao's eyes showed a little confusion and helplessness, but it dissipated in an instant.

Xiao Jiu said: "Do you know another great harm of this strange poison? Although your appearance has returned to when you were young, the internal organs in your body are all old. This vision goes against the ethics of the heavens, and it depletes your life force even more. In other words, inverted growth makes your body fail and age faster than the average person. ”

As soon as he said that, the whole house was shocked.

It turns out that reverse growth also has such side effects......

There were tears about to fall from Aunt Gua's red eyes.

Master Mao didn't care about it, and let out a sneer and laughed at himself, "No wonder I've been more and more powerless in the past few years, if the destiny is like this, why am I afraid?"

Aunt Gua held his hand, and tears fell on the back of the inky nails, "Brother Mao, don't be like this......"

Master Mao patted her hand lightly and comforted her very calmly: "Zhuzhu, the past eighteen years have been borrowed from God. I didn't think about stealing my life after that incident eighteen years ago, so I took this stone poison, but I didn't expect it...... It's just that now my great cause has not been accomplished, and I can only be unwilling!"

Hearing those words, Aunt Gua was even more sad, and she couldn't help but get up and retreat to the side to wipe the corners of her eyes.

In silence, Hu Xiaoer took a step forward and said, "Speaking of which, what is it that restrains the snake purple and makes the body have this abnormality?"

Master Mao didn't answer, and I saw him slowly clench his fists, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It's Changjuesan. Xiao Jiu said.

Hu Xiaoer's face changed in an instant, there seemed to be a trace of horror in his eyes, and he repeated in a daze: "Changjuesan?"

I asked Xiao Jiu, "Is Changjuesan a drug?"

"It's not a drug, it's a Gu medicine to be precise. Xiao Jiu stood with his hands in his hands, pondered for a moment and continued, "I have never come into contact with Changjuesan, and everything about it is still seen in the medicine book. ”

"Changjuesan is made of seven kinds of Gu worms, which belong to yin deficiency, and its power is a hundred times that of ordinary drugs. The person who made Changjuesan would usually make it into two pills, the mother medicine and the child medicine, and the person who swallowed the mother medicine could control the words and deeds of the person who swallowed the child medicine. If the person who swallows the medicine wants to get out of control when his consciousness remains, he can only win by biting the root of his tongue and resisting this yin deficiency with his blood and qi. But the consequence is that the heart is like a knife, and he is tortured and painful to death. ”

Xiao Jiu said as he spoke, and there was a piece of water vapor in his eyes, and he only saw that he was mature and steady in dealing with people and things, but in the end he was still a sixteen-year-old boy, and he was the heart of a doctor's parents......

Hu Xiaoer, who had just asked the question, lowered his head silently at the moment, although he couldn't see his expression, but the aura around him seemed so depressed and low.

Xiao Jiu said again: "This kind of Gu medicine is too weird and ferocious, it will harm countless people, and it was banned by the imperial court eighteen years ago. It is rumored that the Changjuesan rumors are all fake, and their skills are not to be feared at all. The real Gu medicine secret recipe was placed in one place with the jade seal of the country, and it was only in the hands of that one person. ”

He took a deep breath and said to Master Mao: "But the yin deficiency in your body is real, I really want to know who is so cruel to you?"

The four pairs of eyes all looked at the stone couch, and saw an extremely dark and cold smile on the green and pale face, so penetrating.

"Who is it? Didn't you guess it too? The secret recipe for the Gu medicine is in the hands of one person, who else could it be if it wasn't the Dog Emperor?"

He snorted coldly, "But I never expected that he would find my wife Wu Ling, who has been with me for 20 years, and personally fed me that medicine." This ploy is really, really...... Great!"

"Boom-"

Master Mao's fist fell heavily on the stone couch, and his eyes were red.

Xiao Jiu took a step back, biting her lip, her face faintly pale.
