Chapter 18: The Poison of Evil
"Iniquity, you have done too much, and today the old Tao will surely destroy you. Liu Banxian looked at the evil spirit and shouted.
"People die like lights go out, all thoughts turn to ashes, I have already died once, and now the great revenge is avenged, what does it matter if the ashes are gone?haha~"
Hearing an indifferent sneer, Liu Banxian snorted coldly and ignored it.
He picked up the thread of the ink fountain line from the ground, pulled the bound evil spirit to a stone more than half a zhang high outside Yong'an Lane, and tied it to the stone.
The next day, when the sky was dawning, a terrible scream came from outside Yongan Alley, which was like a bell, floating endlessly.
With a long scream, Liu Banxian walked towards Wu Erhan's house in the dawn of early rising.
When he went to Wu's house, Liu Banxian found that Wu Erhan was already in a coma, and his whole body was extremely cold, and his face was as pale as a piece of white paper. From his wife Li Guihua, he learned that he had invited several doctors to come here overnight last night, but in the end, they couldn't find the cause and left.
"Hey~ Lao Dao can't help it, his evil spirit has entered his body, and judging from this situation, it shouldn't last long. Recalling the green gas that entered Wu Erhan's body last night, Liu Banxian said helplessly, turned around and left the Wu family.
This Liu Banxian was only half a bucket of water, just like last night, he only relied on the little fur he knew, and with the help of four bold men, he was able to suppress the evil spirit.
Of course, there is also an element of luck in this, if the evil spirit didn't pay attention to his words after appearing last night, but shot directly, maybe Liu Banxian would have been cold by now.
After Liu Banxian left, Li Guihua walked to the bedside in tears, looked at Wu Erhan and cried in a low voice.
Not long after, a person came to the Wu family, this person is called Lu Yutang, and the Lu Yunniang next to Zhou Qing's house is his sister, and he is also the person who lives in this Yongan Lane.
"Sister-in-law Osmanthus, what's wrong with Brother Erhan?" Seeing the woman in low tears, Lu Yutang opened his mouth and asked.
"The doctor can't find out where the symptoms are, and Liu Banxian also said that there is nothing he can do, I'm afraid ......" Li Guihua opened her mouth to respond halfway, and cried bitterly this time.
Hearing this, Lu Yutang was silent for a moment, and then suddenly spoke.
"Sister-in-law Osmanthus, my sister Yun Niang's house seems to live next to a very capable Taoist, not long ago she took my niece to visit relatives, but my niece suddenly had a strange illness, invited a doctor and Liu Banxian, and didn't see a reason, but later was cured by the Taoist next to her house. ”
The Taoist chief that Lu Yutang said was Zhou Qing, and the sad Li Guihua had hope in her heart after hearing these words, and after she inquired about Zhou Qing's residence, she hurriedly ran away.
The place where Zhou Qing lives is called Bazi Lane, not too far from Yongan Lane, and it didn't take long for Li Guihua to come to Bazi Lane and find Lu Yunniang's home.
Knowing the meaning of Li Guihua's mouth, Lu Yunniang pulled the woman and walked straight to the door of Zhou Qing's house.
Coming to the closed courtyard gate, she reached out and patted the door, "Is the Taoist chief at home?"
Zhou Qing, who was practicing in the courtyard, heard the shouting outside the house, and immediately walked to the courtyard gate and opened the courtyard door, and saw Lu Yunniang standing in front of his house and Li Guihua with an anxious face.
"Yun Niang, is this little road leader?"
After seeing Zhou Qing, Li Guihua asked softly in Lu Yunniang's ear. The latter nodded, smiled and said, "Xiaodao Chief, this is a sister-in-law from my own family, something happened at home, see if you can help." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Qing's face showed a hint of embarrassment, before he helped the girl find her soul just to repay Lu Yunniang's gift of meat, but now he really didn't want to deal with this inexplicable trouble.
"Please, Xiaodao Chief, please come and save my father-in-law. ”
Seeing the look of embarrassment on Zhou Qing's face, Li Guihua saw that he was unwilling to help, and in a hurry, he knelt directly in front of the courtyard gate and begged bitterly.
This sudden scene made Zhou Qing a little helpless.
"This sister-in-law, please get up, if there is anything you can come into the house and talk to me in detail, if you can help, then Xiaodao will help you." ”
Seeing the poor woman's actions, Zhou Qing relieved himself, turned around and returned to the courtyard, picked up a towel on a bamboo pole in the courtyard, walked to a wooden basin with clean water and washed his face.
Following Zhou Qing into the house, Li Guihua roughly explained what happened to Wu Erhan last night, and after saying that, the woman wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief, looking really pitiful.
"Wild Lake, evil spirit, could it be that Miss Cuilan?" After listening to Li Guihua's words, a trace of doubt rose in Zhou Qing's heart.
The evil spirit that Yong'an Lane invited Liu Banxian to destroy last night should be the Cuilan he had seen.
From his two contacts with Cuilan, he could see that the woman was not a blood-devouring spirit, how could she kill six lives for no reason? At the same time, he remembered the blue light around her when he saw Cuilan's spirit for the second time.
"It seems that there should be a treacherous thing in that wild lake, and it is extremely harmful, but judging from the situation in this county, if you don't take the initiative to provoke it, nothing should happen. Oh, it's just a pity that the young lady ......"
With a secret feeling in his heart, Zhou Qing took the woman to the hall and sat down, and asked carefully about the illness, and finally he concluded that Wu Erhan should have been poisoned by the evil spirit.
"Xiaodao Chief, can my father-in-law still be saved?" After finishing speaking, Li Guihua looked at Zhou Qing with tears in her eyes.
"Sister-in-law, don't be sad, if your father-in-law's illness is as I expected, it will not be difficult to treat. After Zhou Qing was relieved, he responded to the matter, and immediately followed Li Guihua to Yongan Lane.
After carefully checking Wu Erhan's condition and determining that it was a yin poison, Zhou Qing explained some things to the woman.
He told the woman to take some of the silt from the bottom of the river, drain it with a cloth, put it in a tub, stir it with the rootless water, and then soak the person with the poison in the tub.
Although this method cannot detoxify, it can make the person with the poison in the body breathe for a day or two, and there is time for Zhou Qing to prepare the detoxification, otherwise, Wu Erhan's life will definitely not last tomorrow morning.
There is a record of the poison of yin evil in the wandering miscellaneous records, and it is not difficult to solve it, but there is a medicinal introduction in it that requires the use of a plant called the tomb mushroom.
It is not difficult to get this kind of mushroom, after Li Guihua prepared the silt bath bucket, Zhou Qing asked her to find some chicken, duck, dog, pig and other poultry manure back, stir it with water and make it into a dung strip, and put it in the sun.
In addition, he also left a recipe with some medicinal materials that needed to be prepared.
"There's something else to do on the trail, I'll be there until the evening. ”
After leaving these words, Zhou Qing left Yongan Lane and went straight to the teahouse where he listened to books every day.
When he came to the teahouse, the storyteller happened to be on stage, and what he told today was the final response to the story that Zhou Qing had listened to for several months.
"The white mist curled around the pool, Li Lang took off the blood-red requiem stone and threw it into the Yuqing Spirit Pool...... "The storyteller recounted aloud.
When the sun set outside the teahouse, there was warm applause from inside the building, and from this point of view, the story in the storyteller's mouth was a perfect ending.
