Chapter 29: Something Worse Than Death
"For example?"
"For example, the whole body is planted with this kind of fire Gu!"
Liu Xie gasped, it turned out that this was called a fire Gu, a fire Gu had already made Kong Yu feel painful, if it was full of seeds, it would really be more terrible than death!
"Then what if you don't have to release people, but just delay for a few days?" Liu Xiedao!
"Three days, I'll buy you three days at most, and you must prove immediately that you can relieve my pain, and give me the prescription without reservation!" Kong Yu directly put forward his own conditions!
"No problem, if I come back with the Ruyi Stone in three days, will it prove that my father-in-law did not lose the holy relics, and my father-in-law will be reinstated!"
"Theoretically, but it's completely impossible! I know what you want to do? But I warn you that it's best not to do it, you don't know what the Ruyi Stone means to the monks, and if you dare to ask Qiu Rangtian for the Ruyi Stone, then you will never see the sunrise the next day!"
Kong Yu's words made Liu Xie slightly stunned, he was right, Liu Xie just wanted to go to the Ethereal Peak to find revenge and let the sky return to the Ruyi Stone, as long as there was a Ruyi Stone, then Zhou Shiren's crime would be automatically lifted!
It's just that I didn't expect that Kong Yu had already guessed it, and he was so sure that Liu Xie would definitely fail!
Liu Xie frowned, could it be that there was a great risk hidden in it?
The arrow has to be sent on the string, Liu Xie has no other way out, even if he is stubborn, he has to go up! The king treats me as a countryman, how can I not repay him as a countryman!
Zhou Shiren didn't even want his life for Liu Xie, but Liu Xie's blocking of arrows for him was just to save himself! Now it's his turn to do something for him!
"Life and death are fateful, just do what you should do!" Liu Xie said lightly!
"Stupid!" Kong Yu sneered and stopped talking!
Then, Liu Xie began to prepare medicine for Kong Yoo to relieve the pain!
In modern medicine, there are thousands of drugs that can relieve pain, among which the most effective are various painkillers, such as apislin, analgesic tablets, rofecoxib, etc., as well as local anesthetic drugs such as anesthetics!
But in addition to anesthetics, these drugs are very complicated to make and extract, and they are not suitable for Liu Xie today! What he needs is a ready-made, simple painkiller!
Liu Xie used his brain to quickly search for ancient Chinese painkillers, and soon got a lot of formulas, including opium, marijuana pain, mandala flowers, etc., Liu Xie chose one of the simplest medicinal materials - willow bark!
Modern research has shown that willow bark contains salicin, which is chemically similar to aspirin, and even more effective than aspirin!
Before the invention of aspirin, willow bark extract was commonly used as a painkiller in the West!
The martial arts of this world are prosperous, but the medical Tao is very backward, and it is still in a period where people can die if they have a cold, and tetanus can be on the skin!
Not even the invention of hemp boiling, let alone this willow bark pain reliever!
So, Liu Xie directly ordered someone to look at a few willow trees, scraped off the willow bark, and then, Liu Xie dismissed everyone and walked into a hut!
Half an hour later, Liu Xie walked out with a bowl of viscous liquid like soup and porridge!
"This is the magic medicine that can relieve my pain?" Looking at the mysterious liquid in the bowl, Kong Yoo said suspiciously!
"Yes, my lord, but please give it a try, if you can't get rid of the disease, please directly correct the Fa on the spot!" Liu Xiedao!
It's been three days now, and it's less than half an hour before the next attack, and it can happen at any time!
Liu Xie glanced at the person behind him, and immediately someone walked up, picked up the bowl and tasted it himself!
Liu Xie sneered, if I poison it, I will not only harm my father-in-law but also myself, am I so stupid? I didn't expect this Kong Yu to be so daring!
However, the situation is stronger than people, and Liu Xie did not change the attack, so he had to swallow it forcibly! The so-called good medicine is bitter and good for disease, this willow bark extract does not know how bitter it is, Liu Xie only tasted one mouthful, and his whole face became distorted!
God, please don't let me take Chinese medicine in my next life! Liu Xie shouted in his heart!
Seeing that both of them had taken it, Kong Yu waited for a while, and found that both of them were fine!
"Tell me how you feel after eating!" Kong Yoo asked!
"It's bitter!" said the little white book honestly!
"And then?"
"And then there was no then!"
A bright light flashed, and an arm flew up, and the arm of the little mouse was directly cut off!
He was stunned for a moment before he screamed, "My hands, my hands!"
From beginning to end, he didn't feel a little pain!
"Very good, I believe this medicine will work!" Kong Yu laughed loudly and was about to pick up the bowl, when at this moment, the fire Gu in his lower abdomen suddenly lit up!
Immediately afterwards, Kong Yoo's body trembled violently, his whole face became extremely distorted, and he fell to the ground and twitched violently!
Liu Xie swept over with an X-ray and found that the flame seemed to be alive, constantly swimming in his body, as if it was devouring something!
"Quick, give me the magic medicine!" Kong Yu was sweating profusely in pain, almost losing his voice, pointing to the willow bark extract in Liu Xie's hand and said!
Liu Xie did not hesitate, and directly handed over the medicine, Kong Yu didn't think about it, and drank it directly!
Almost at the same moment as he drank the willow bark extract, he felt a shock all over his body, and the sharp pain seemed to disappear in an instant, without a trace!
He supported the ground, the whole person stood up, patted the official uniform, and the whole person regained his previous majesty, as if nothing had happened!
"I want the full recipe!" Kong Yu said!
"The recipe is all here!" Liu Xie casually threw out a note and fell into Kong Yu's hands!
It was a recipe he had prepared a long time ago, and in addition to the willow bark, several medicinal herbs were added indiscriminately, so that people could not distinguish the authenticity from the fake, but it did not affect the medicinal properties!
Kong Yu took it and looked at it, showing a satisfied expression, he also knew a little about medical theory, and knew that these medicinal materials were non-toxic!
"Since you have cured the official's illness, the official can't break his word, within these three days, I promise that your father-in-law will not be abused in the slightest, but will carry out the courtesy of the guest! But after three days, if you can't recapture the Ruyi Stone, then the official will have to handle the case impartially and kill without mercy!"
"Okay, but I also want to ask Lord Thorn Shi a word, which is more important, the safety of the Dayu Empire or the party struggle?"
Liu Xie's words are a bit heart-wrenching, this is actually asking Kong Yu why he still kills Zhongliang because of party disputes!
Zhou Shiren is the pillar of Nanzhao County, this is a well-known thing, and now the empire is declining, the border is in chaos, there are ghosts in the north, Ouyue in the south, Zhongwu in the east, and Yiqu in the west, all of them are eyeing the Dayu Empire!
Especially in the Yiqu Kingdom in the west, there was a Gaidai male lord -- the King of Yiqu! Zhou Shiren was one of the few generals who could barely keep his territory without losing it!
If it weren't for Zhou Shiren, the land of Nanzhao County would have been empty long ago! But the imperial court was still not satisfied with him, and asked him to take the initiative to send troops to level the Yiqu, how could this be possible!
In this case, Kong Yu actually did something to Zhou Shiren, simply ignoring the safety of the country and putting his personal interests above the country!
When Kong Yu heard this, he frowned and said, "Superficial! How can national affairs be as simple as you imagined! If you want to save your father-in-law, leave quickly, otherwise time will be a knife, and I don't mind having one more ghost under the knife!"
Liu Xie glanced at Kong Yu deeply and turned to leave!
As soon as Liu Xie left, a handsome young man walked out of Kong Yu's room, he was about twenty years old, his appearance was majestic, mighty, and his body revealed a heroic spirit, obviously a battle-hardened general!
He is Gong Feiyue's fiancé, the leader of the younger generation of the Diao family, the military tycoon of the Dayu Empire - Diao Junyuan!
Although he is only about 20 years old, he has already made many military exploits, successively fought against Ghost Fang, Ouyue and other countries, and made great military achievements, and is known as the military god of the young generation of the Dayu Empire!
Although the general is a miscellaneous general, only from the sixth rank, but because of his family's strong prestige and his future potential, even Kong Yoo, who is much higher than him, has to bow his head in front of him, and no one wants to offend this young military god!
"Tell me what you think, why did you let him go?" Diao Junyuan's tone was very flat, but it gave people an invisible pressure!
When Kong Yu heard this, there was a trace of solemnity on his face, the general was only from the sixth grade, Taishou was the fourth grade, and the assassin was a member of the third grade, and his status killed Diao Junyuan ten streets, however, Kong Yu was sweating because of Diao Junyuan's words! It can be seen how strong the Diao family is in the military!
"Because Liu Xie will never get the Ruyi Stone, where Qingyun Peak is, the young general should know better than me!"
Hearing this, Diao Junyuan nodded slightly! Qingyun Peak is located in the 100,000 mountains on the border of Nanzhao County, the forest sea is vast, there are no people, and the middle is full of miasma, wild beasts are rampant, and there are even legendary demon beasts that have been psychic!
People who have cultivated to a realm lower than the late stage of innate life will die for a lifetime, not to mention a person like Liu Xie who doesn't have any foundation in cultivation at all!
Innate and Xuanxuan are both a kind of cultivation realm in this world, and cultivation is divided into three major realms: innate realm, entering the Xuan, and building the foundation! Each great realm is divided into four small realms: the early stage, the middle stage, the late stage, and the Great Perfection!
Ordinary people who have reached a certain strength after forging their bodies can worship the cultivation sect and cultivate through special methods, and they are expected to enter the innate stage!
This is the easiest realm to enter, if the qualifications are not bad, after ten years, it is expected to reach the late stage of congenital, and it is possible to enter the realm of entering the Xuan after twenty years!
When you enter the innate realm, you can use special mana to communicate with heaven and earth, absorb the aura of heaven and earth for your own use, and learn the most basic five elements spells!
If you reach the Xuan Realm, you can cut the marrow of the I Ching, open up the meridians of the whole body, and turn the aura of heaven and earth into the spiritual power of the Xuan, and you can cultivate the legendary supernatural powers, with the unfathomable power of ghosts and gods!
Once the foundation is built, you will become a real immortal, you can fly with a weapon, take things from the air, kill the enemy for thousands of miles, and be free above the clouds!
However, the foundation building period is the legendary realm, and in the entire Dayu Empire, no one of the martial artists of the three sects and nine streams has ever seen the immortals of the foundation building period, and the highest cultivation is only entering the Xuan Realm!
However, there are many people in the Dayu Empire who claim that they are only one step away from building the foundation, and will soon enter that legendary realm!
As for whether it is true or not, no one knows! In other words, the realm of entering the Xuan is already the pinnacle of martial arts in this world, and almost no one is invincible!
"I heard that he is a genius, what if he can create a miracle?" Diao Junyuan smiled slightly!
"If you want to create a miracle, you have to have a life, young general, what do you say!"
Diao Junyuan didn't speak, leaned back, and the whole person was hidden in the dark!
"Zhou Shiren has been removed, you take the post of Taishou, clean up the army of the whole county, and cooperate with me to launch an offensive against Yiqu, this is the main purpose of my here!"
"Yes, the lower official must fully cooperate with the major general's actions, by the way, this prescription must also be useful for the major general!"
Kong Yu handed over a prescription, which was the prescription for the willow bark extract that Liu Xie gave him!
"You're quite sensible!" Diao Junyuan took the prescription and left quickly!
