Prologue Chapter 40: People's Hearts Are in Danger (3)
Thinking of this, he followed the example of his mother when he was sick, put the back of his hand on his forehead and tried it, and sure enough, he felt that his forehead was hot. Xu Pu hurriedly climbed onto the bed, wrapped himself in the quilt, and felt sad in his heart: Why did he get sick at this time?
After lying in a daze for a while, I heard the sound of the door opening outside, and then a sound of footsteps entered the back room. Xu Pu opened his eyes and saw that it was Fang Zhengkun who had returned.
Fang Zhengkun saw Xu Pu lying on the bed, so he asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you sick?" As he spoke, he reached out and touched Xu Pu's forehead, then pulled Xu Pu's arm, checked his pulse, and finally said: "You are suffering from the wind and cold." It doesn't matter, I have an elixir here to expel the wind evil. With that, he poured out a brown pill from the gourd on his waist and stuffed it into Xu Pu's mouth.
Xu Pu was confused at this time, and when he heard him say that there was medicine to cure the disease, he swallowed it without thinking about it.
Not long after swallowing, Xu Pu felt a hot breath rise in his stomach, and then, this hot air gradually spread, and his whole body also warmed up, and he couldn't help sweating profusely. As soon as I sweated profusely, I suddenly felt less cold, my mind was much clearer, and my body was much lighter. So he said to Fang Zhengkun: "Thank you, Taoist." ”
Fang Zhengkun said: "You're welcome. How do you feel?"
Xu Pu said: "It's much better." ”
Fang Zhengkun breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." However, in order to completely expel the cold qi in your body, you have to take this elixir for a while. ”
Xu Pu saw that this pill fruit could cure diseases, and it was reasonable to eat it for a few more days, so he nodded. As everyone knows, it is the way of Fang Zhengkun.
That's why he had a fever, not because of the cold, but when he was at a tea stall outside the city, Fang Zhengkun took advantage of his unpreparedness and poisoned the snacks he ate, but the dose was very small, in order to trick him into taking the pill that concocted Yuanyang Dan in the name of curing the disease.
Fang Zhengkun has been refining pills for more than 40 years, often dealing with various drugs, and is quite proficient in pharmacology. The "bone-penetrating crisp" used by Yuan Zhengqian was developed by him.
At this time, Xu Pu noticed that the little Daotong who left with Fang Zhengkun was gone, so he asked, "Daoist, where is your disciple?"
Fang Zhengkun had already thought of a response and said: "We have to avoid Jinyiwei all the way, and it will be inconvenient to take him with us." I have entrusted him to a friend outside the city, and I will come back to pick you up when you are brought to safety. ”
Xu Pu nodded and said, "That's really wronged that little brother." ”
Fang Zhengkun said: "This is nothing. It's not early, and you're suffering from the wind and cold again, so rest early. With that, he put down the tent for Xu Pu and went to another bed to lie down and rest.
In fact, Fang Zhengkun didn't have any friends here at all, and that Dao boy was not his disciple, but a child who was abducted by him to refine Yuanyang Dan. Now that there is Xu Pu, it is inconvenient to take that child with him, so he took him to a secluded place outside the city and killed him with one palm.
Xu Pushao has experienced the world, how could he have thought that this fairy-like, amiable and Taoist man in front of him would be so ruthless?
Xu Pu was lying on the bed, hazy as if he was asleep, only feeling that his body was hot, his body was constantly sweating, and the cold in his body was gradually forced out of his body with sweat. This lasted for nearly two hours, and the hot feeling in my body gradually subsided, and my body no longer sweated, and my illness seemed to be cured.
It was past midnight. In the haze, Xu Pu heard the sound of sa sha outside, and then the sound gradually became louder, and it kept ringing, and finally the window crackled. Xu Pu realized that it was raining outside.
Xu Pu's consciousness was blurred at this time, and he was about to fall asleep, so he didn't bother to pay attention to it. I listened to the sound of rain and fell asleep before I knew it.
I had just fallen asleep when I heard a loud bang, followed by the sound of rain, mixed with the sound of the howling wind. Xu Pu woke up suddenly, and felt a gust of cold wind blowing into the house. He sat up and opened the tent to look, only to find that the window had been blown open by the strong wind, and the cold wind had poured into the house with broken rain.
Xu Pu had no choice but to get out of bed, come to the window in the dark, close the window, and latch the pin.
As soon as the window was closed, the sound of wind and rain was suddenly cut off from the outside of the house, and the house immediately fell silent. In the silence, Xu Pu heard a rustling sound on Fang Zhengkun's bed on the right. Xu Pu was stunned for a moment, listened attentively, and only heard the sound of rustling all the time, and there was still the sound of gurgling teeth clashing.
Xu Pu asked in a low voice, "Dao Chief, how are you?"
Fang Zhengkun didn't answer, but the sound of rustling still kept ringing.
Xu Pu couldn't see anything and didn't dare to approach it. came to the table in the dark, lit the candle, and looked at Fang Zhengkun's bed by the candlelight, only to see Fang Zhengkun sitting cross-legged on the bed, wrapped most of his body with a quilt, his eyes were closed, his body was trembling, and his upper and lower teeth hit each other from time to time, gurgling.
Xu Pu didn't know why, so he slowly paced to the side of the bed and said in a low voice, "Dao Chief, are you okay?"
Fang Zhengkun still didn't answer.
Xu Pu stretched out his hand, put it on Fang Zhengkun's exposed knee, and shook it gently. At this time, Xu Pu noticed that Fang Zhengkun's knees were as cold as a piece of ice, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and raised his voice and said, "Dao Chief, you, why are you so cold?"
Fang Zhengkun was shaken by him, and finally noticed it, slowly opened his eyes, and said, "No, it doesn't matter, it's an old problem... Go to sleep and leave me alone. I'll be fine if I do a little bit of work. ”
Xu Pu stood in front of him, feeling that every breath he exhaled was cold, although he himself said that it didn't matter, he still couldn't help but worry about him, and said, "Dao Chief, don't you have a pill to cure cold? Do you want me to feed you a pill?"
Fang Zhengkun shook his head hard and said, "That pill can't cure my illness." You go to sleep, and tomorrow morning, I'll be fine." ”
Xu Pu listened to what he said firmly, and he couldn't say anything, so he said, "Then I'll go to sleep first." If you need anything, just tell me to do it. After that, seeing Fang Zhengkun nodded slowly, he returned to bed to rest.
Fang Zhengkun has been taking Jindan for many years, and the poison in the Dan is deposited in the body, gradually invading the three yin veins. At the beginning, he only felt that every time he took the elixir, his internal strength would increase greatly, and he didn't care about such minor drawbacks at all. I don't know that as time goes by, the more poisonous poison gathers, and it is firmly entangled in the three yin veins. Whenever it is rainy weather, it will often cause toxic attacks in the three yin veins, and the whole body is like an ice cave, and the cold is unbearable.
