Chapter 7: The Phoenix and the Birds Dance
When the numbness spread to his chest, Jiang Liu woke up and hurried back to his residence. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhou Jun was shocked, gave him the "grain medicine" he refined to relieve all poisons, and helped him use his skills to drive away poisons. This "grain medicine" is a variety of elixirs recorded in the ancient medicine scriptures in the valley, and it has been tested many times, because it is practiced in this deep valley, Zhou Jun named it "grain medicine". Zhou Jun thought that this medicine was not poisonous and incomprehensible, but he didn't expect that this snake venom was extremely powerful and had little effect.
Zhou Jun fed Jiang Liu a lot of elixirs in another way, and used his skills to help Jiang Liu force poison. Father and son worked together to force out most of the toxins with the help of drugs, but the remaining toxins could no longer be forced.
The swelling of Jiang Liu's arm slowly subsided, but there was a dull pain in his heart from time to time, thinking that the small amount of toxin had entered the internal organs.
Zhou Jun is quite conceited about his medical skills, in the past ten years, in addition to teaching Jiangliu martial arts and medical skills, he has devoted himself to the study of medical skills, and he has asked himself that there are few diseases in the world that are difficult to treat, and the poison that is difficult to solve. Unexpectedly, this snake venom could not be removed. He secretly said in his heart, "The famous doctor Sun Simiao once said: 'If you study for three years, it is said that there is no disease in the world that can be cured, and if you are treated for three years, it is said that there is no way to use it in the world.'" 'Don't deceive me, the way of medicine is really endless. I don't know what happened to Liu'er. ”
He inquired about Jiang Liu, and Jiang Liu detailed everything that had happened. Zhou Jun was moved when he heard it, and couldn't help but be amazed. After checking the classics, I knew that the big chicken was the young bird of the phoenix - the young phoenix, the phoenix likes to eat bamboo, and often appears in the bamboo forest. The little snake's name is called the belly worm, it is an ancient creature, it is extremely poisonous, and I don't know how many years it has lived, its poison is difficult to solve, and it can only be cured by taking the snow lotus on the Yushu Peak of Kunlun Mountain.
The phoenix and the belly worm are both sacred objects in ancient legends, and it is rare to see them once in thousands of years and hundreds of years, but I didn't expect them to appear at the same time in this deep valley. Zhou Jun was worried, Snow Lotus was on the top of the Snow Mountain, and it was extremely difficult to find it, not to mention that the two of them were still trapped in this secluded mountain and deep valley, and they couldn't get out. Thinking of the residual poison of the "abdominal worm" penetrating deep into the internal organs, if it starts, it will be extremely painful, making life worse than death, Zhou Jun is very worried about Jiang Liu, and he can't help but sigh.
Jiang Liu was young, naturally he didn't want to die, seeing his father-in-law sad, he didn't dare to show the grief in his heart, for fear of making Zhou Jun even more sad, and said with a smile: "Life and death are life and wealth, and the father-in-law doesn't need to worry about the child, and after a few days, this poison will naturally disappear." ”
Zhou Jun muttered: "I hope that Ji people have their own natural appearance." ”
There was nothing to say all night, but neither of them fell asleep, and Jiang Liu was certainly uncomfortable because of the pain in his heart and mouth, and he couldn't sleep. Zhou Jun was also thinking about his thoughts, and it wasn't until the sky was slightly bright that the two of them were just about to fall asleep in a daze when they were woken up by the noisy birdsong outside.
The father and son got dressed, and as soon as they opened the door, they were stunned by the scene in front of them, a big bird was flying and hovering in the air, its wings were spread, its hairs were colorful, and it was as red as Danxia, and it was full of patterns. Zhou Jun couldn't help but be overjoyed, it was really the legendary phoenix. The phoenix is surrounded by all kinds of strange birds and birds, or flying low, or circling, green, yellow, red, white, black, all kinds of colors, can not be enumerated.
The phoenix roared lowly, constantly waving its wings, and the birds also harmonized with their songs, shuttling and flying, and suddenly there were thousands of rui qi, and the scene was like a dancing fairy, dazzling and beautiful. The sound of birds is intertwined, the rhyme is melodious, it is really like a jade pearl, ten thousand pine waves, just like a person in the Yaochi Fengque, it is really "this song should only be in the sky, and the world can get a few times to hear." ”
After a while, the phoenix chirped again, and the sound was heard in the sky and echoed in the valley. The birds stopped together, and they stopped calling, and the phoenix roared again, and the birds immediately dispersed, flashing in the light, and disappeared without a trace in an instant. Zhou Jun and Jiang Liu listened attentively, and they were fascinated, so they woke up in shock.
The phoenix flew down from the sky and landed on the ground, with its head and neck hanging down, and saluted Jiang Fan. It is a sacred bird, quite spiritual, originally grateful for the kindness of the river to save the son, came to dance to thank you. Zhou Jun looked at the behemoth in front of him, he was so excited that he even breathed a lot faster, this kind of divine thing, how many people in the world have seen it, and now this phoenix is standing alive in front of him.
Seeing the phoenix fluttering its wings, Zhou Jun suddenly had a flash of inspiration, he put his cane under his armpit, bowed to the phoenix and said: "The phoenix is above, the little people have something to ask for, and hope to be fulfilled." We have been trapped in the valley for more than ten years, and it is difficult to climb to the sky if we want to get out. This kid is my righteous son, and I don't want him to be lost in the mountains and valleys in this life. Wangshenfeng took pity on me and helped him get out of the valley. ”
The phoenix is a sacred object, and I don't know how many years it has lived and how many dynasties it has experienced. It actually heard Zhou Jun's words clearly, it looked at the river, and then looked at Zhou Jun, and bowed slightly. Zhou Jun was overjoyed and said, "Please come back tomorrow at this time." After hearing this, the phoenix flapped its wings and flew up, circled slightly, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Zhou Jun pulled the stunned Jiang Liu into the house, and said, "Liu'er, God help me." With the help of the phoenix, you will go out of the valley tomorrow. ”
Jiang Liuxi said: "Father-in-law, shall we go together tomorrow?"
Zhou Jun sighed and said gloomily: "I don't want to be born anymore for my father, even if I go out, I'm afraid it will be a burden to you." ”
Jiang Liu saw that Zhou Jun did not leave the valley, and said hurriedly: "Father-in-law, although you are at ease in this valley, but you are here alone, aren't you lonely?" ”
Zhou Jun shook his head and said, "I was originally a damned person, and it is a gift from God to survive until now." It is also a blessing to be able to live here for a long time. ”
Jiang Liu said: "If the righteous father does not come out, and the child does not come out of the valley, he will accompany the righteous father in the valley." ”
"Nonsense, Liu'er, you've grown up. Zhou Jun said sharply, "The eldest husband should be determined to live in seclusion here for a lifetime? Not to mention that you are deeply poisoned, and you can't be saved unless you snow lotus, so you are waiting to die in this valley?"
Seeing that his father-in-law was angry, Jiang Liu didn't dare to speak anymore, Zhou Jun took a few breaths, calmed down, and continued: "Liu'er, there are still a few important things for you to do for your father." These things are over, and I am blind to death. ”
Jiang Liu knew that Zhou Jun's mind had been decided, so he didn't dare to persuade him again, and said: "Please ask your father-in-law to command, the child will not dare to disobey." ”
Zhou Jun said: "You sit down first, and I'll tell you a story." ”
After Jiang Liu sat down, Zhou Jun was silent for a while, and then said: "My grandfather Zhou Guang is a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, who has saved countless people and made countless merits in his life. Unexpectedly, when I was fifteen years old, he planted a big heel. The grandfather treated the daughter-in-law of a grandson's eunuch family, but the woman was terminally ill and could not be saved, and even the grandfather was helpless, and finally one day she died. On the day of the funeral, a strange thing happened. The Sun family rushed to the burial with the coffin, but a passer-by blocked their way, and it was taboo to go out of the funeral. The Sun family was furious, and a housekeeper surnamed Yang immediately stepped forward to reason with the passer-by. But the passer-by said, 'What are you doing in a hurry to bury the man who is not dead?'"
Jiang Liuqi said: "How does this person know that people are not dead?"
Zhou Jun said: "At that time, Steward Yang also asked him like this, and the passer-by said, 'Look, the blood dripping from the coffin is bright red. If the person is dead, then the blood dripping down should be dark red. The blood was bright red, but no one believed him. Steward Yang said, 'My young lady's illness was seen by Dr. Zhou, who has excellent medical skills, how can he come back to life if he concludes that he is dead?'"
"The man laughed and said, 'A man stumbles, a horse stumbles.' No matter how high your medical skills are, there will always be times when you get it wrong. If you don't believe me, I can make a bet with you. Steward Yang was in a hurry and didn't want to talk to him, so he said, "If you want to gamble, you can live, and we will give you ten thousand dollars." If you can't cure it, you will also be buried together. He meant to make the man retreat and stop dwelling on him. But the man clapped his hands and laughed, 'Very good, so I said.' ’”
Jiang Liu said: "Is this person crazy, how dare he gamble with his life?"
Zhou Jun said: "Everyone said that this person was a madman, but what Steward Yang had already said, he couldn't go back, so he reported to the master." The master also said that he should try it, and the dead horse would be a live horse doctor. Everyone opened the coffin, only to see that the man took out a few silver needles and lightly pricked a few needles on the young lady, and the young lady actually lived. Everyone thought that they had met a living immortal, and they knelt down to thank him, and the man casually took some silver taels and left. Later, I heard that the person was a famous doctor in Shuzhong, surnamed Tang Mingjin. ”
Jiang Liu clapped his hands and laughed: "This person is really a good doctor. As soon as the words came out, I regretted it. When he said this, it was tantamount to saying that Zhou Jun's grandfather Zhou Guang was not good at medicine.
Fortunately, Zhou Jun didn't blame him, and continued: "The Sun family is grateful to that person, but they sneered at my grandfather, saying that my grandfather was famous. My grandfather had a great reputation, how could he stand the cold words of others, in a fit of anger, he closed his door, no longer treated others, was depressed every day, and died with hatred after a few years. I studied medicine hard since I was a child, and I wanted to hate my grandfather when I grew up. Finally, at the age of twenty-five, he went to SC to visit Tang Jin. ”
Zhou Jun paused, as if his thoughts had returned to that time, and said, "When I was about to arrive in Chengdu, I stayed in an inn one day. I found that there were a lot of young people gathered inside, so I asked the innkeeper what was going on. The shopkeeper told me that the young lady of the Tang family was going to recruit relatives here, and the young people here were all here to welcome the marriage. I also wanted to see the excitement, so I stayed in the inn for a few more days. On the day of the recruitment, I noticed a strange thing. ”
Jiang Liu heard about these things at one time, and he was very interested, and said urgently: "Father-in-law, what strange things are going on?"
Zhou Jun said: "The general recruitment of relatives, either competitions, or papers, and there are also hydrangea throwers, but this Tang family's young lady recruits relatives, but it is ingenious. She brought a group of maids to dance on the stage, and they were all very beautiful. Miss Tang herself is covered with a black veil, and she can't see her appearance, but she has a romantic figure, and she thinks she is also a stunning beauty. Their dancing was also wonderful, and the young men in the audience were fascinated by it and applauded all the time. ”
"After the dance, a maid stepped forward, and later I learned that her name was Yan'er, and said to everyone: 'My young lady is seeking Ruyi Langjun, and she has three special exam questions, and whoever can pass it will be my family's fast son-in-law. This dance is the first question. Her voice is crisp, like a yellow oriole out of the valley, and she is incomparably beautiful. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, someone below laughed and said, "Girl, I don't want your young lady, will you marry me?" They laughed together, and after laughing for a while, many fell to the ground and could not get up again. I went over and opened their bodies and found that they were all dead. ”
Jiang Liu was surprised: "If you are dead, can you laugh at the dead?" After studying medicine for so many years, he immediately understood what was going on, and it turned out that there was a poison called "pulling the lead" in the poison, and the poisoned person could not laugh, and when he laughed, the poison would invade the internal organs and kill him in an instant.
"Father-in-law, is it 'leading the way'?" Jiang Liudao.
"That's right, it's 'leading'. Zhou Jun nodded and said, "Most of the people died in a while, and the rest were stunned." Na Yan'er said: "Our dance is called Fengwu, elegant and Gaoli, if you think it is funny, it is blasphemy of my young lady, and you are not worthy of being my young lady's husband." Everyone was silent and did not dare to speak. Who would have thought that so many people would die when recruiting relatives, and there were many people who came to see the excitement, and they died inexplicably. ”
After hearing this, Jiang Liu said: "This method is also a little more vicious, and it has hurt the lives of so many innocent people. Is that dance also called the Phoenix Dance?" he thought of the Phoenix Dance he had just seen, and thought to himself, "I wonder how this Phoenix Dance compares to the Phoenix Dance?"
Zhou Jun seemed to fall into contemplation again, and said softly: "Colorful clothes, fragrant habits, and beautiful dances, isn't it just the colorful phoenix dancing?"
