Chapter 21 Medicine
"Life-sustaining elixir!" Chen Ming couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
The Xianwu sect, especially the Taoist sect, is indeed good at health preservation and alchemy. The Panlong Sect is the inheritance of Li Chunfeng and Yuan Zhenggang, and there is naturally a life-sustaining holy medicine in the door.
But the point is that he is only a mid-to-late stage disciple of the Qi Realm, how could he have such a thing in his hands. Even if you go to ask the elders in the door, when people hear that they want to save a court official, they still won't agree!
"What kind of life-sustaining elixir do you need?"
However, what he didn't expect was that Bai Ya, who was beside Chen Ming, heard Zeng Si's words, his eyes flickered slightly, and he actually asked about the details.
"Oh, Bai Shaoxia has medicine on his body?" Zeng Si was so shrewd, as soon as he heard this, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Bai Ya with a blank eye.
"Yes, yes, but ......" Bai Ya opened the mustard seed bag, rummaged through it for a while, and found a pale green pill.
This pill is the size of a marble, with a greenish color and an extremely refreshing scent. As soon as Chen Ming and the others smelled it, they only felt refreshed, their pores were wide open, and a large amount of saliva was secreted from their mouths.
It's like a person who is extremely thirsty and sees a sour plum.
"This medicine is called the Nine Flavor Qingcao Pill, and it is a talisman given to me by the elders of the sect. But he had instructed the Nine Flavor Clear Grass Pill to have extremely strong medicinal properties, which was not something that a Qi Realm martial artist could bear. Unless I reach the desperate situation where my qi and blood are both lost and my origin is damaged, I must not use this medicine. ”
Bai Ya muttered, "Lord Zeng is now running out of oil, this medicine should be able to replenish his vitality, but Lord Zeng is not even a martial artist, I'm afraid it will be difficult to withstand the effect of this medicine......"
"Let the old man take a look first!" Doctor Guo walked out of the house, he didn't want to show his face, but when he saw such a holy medicine, he couldn't help it.
A moment later, Physician Guo tested the medicinal properties of the Nine Flavor Qingcao Pill on the guinea pig, and immediately looked at the pill in his hand with a solemn face.
"Bai Shaoxia's division commander is right, this medicine is not acceptable to a martial artist with a strong physique. Master Zeng can't use it, if he takes this medicine, I'm afraid he will die immediately. ”
"Sir, what if you only take half a pill or scrape some powder on it?" Zeng Si asked with some reluctance.
"Hehe, it's not a matter of quantity. Dr. Guo shook his head and sighed.
"This medicine is too condensed, and people with weak constitutions cannot absorb the essence of it. Just like the fine gold used in smelting, it will not melt if the temperature of the fire is not enough. Lord Zeng is like a furnace with insufficient firepower, whether it is a piece of pure gold or half a piece of essence, it cannot be dissolved if the melting point is not reached. ”
Zeng Si's rising hope was immediately extinguished, and his face suddenly turned to ashes and he fell into his chair. Bai Ya and Chen Ming next to him also had ugly faces, and they were equally responsible for Zeng Xian's death.
Doctor Guo touched his long beard, his eyes scanned the people for a while, and finally landed on Bai Ya.
"Ninety-nine is one, the way of heaven leaves a line, and the same is true of medicine and humanity!" Doctor Guo said slowly, "This medicine is not suitable for Lord Zeng to take, but with this medicine as the foundation, it is not impossible to try, but there is still a thing to ...... medicine."
The three of them looked at each other, only to feel that their mood was up and down, and they were in a trance.
"Mr. Guo said bluntly, why play with me. Bai Ya looked at the old doctor in front of him with some annoyance.
"It's not that I didn't want to say it before I was old, but this method is harmful to others and self-interested, and it's best not to use it until it is absolutely necessary. Physician Guo smiled bitterly, pointed to the pill in his hand and said, "The medicinal power of the Nine Flavor Qingcao Pill is condensed, but if the three of you take it, there is a chance to dissolve it......"
"What do you mean, sir...... Is it human blood?"
Zeng Si's face changed slightly, he had the most experience in the rivers and lakes, and as soon as Doctor Guo spoke, he understood.
"Yes, a martial artist first took this medicine, and then took advantage of the power of this medicine to dissolve, but when it was not fully absorbed, he took that person's blood and fed it to Lord Zeng. Doctor Guo stroked his long beard and said solemnly.
"In this way, it is possible for the medicinal power of the Nine Flavor Qingcao Pill to be absorbed by him! However, the qi and blood of a martial artist are the foundation of the physical body, and it is contrary to physiology to make up for the deficiency first and then to lack, and it is unknown whether the person who induces the medicine will leave behind future troubles. ”
"Sir, what chance do you have of saving the young master by doing this?" Zeng Si hurriedly asked.
"If there are too many variables, there will be a 30% chance at most. Doctor Guo pinched his fingers and calculated, and then replied with a wry smile.
"Thirty percent is enough, just use the old man's blood as a guide, and the rest depends on whether the young master's life is hard or not!" Zeng Si's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, and he gritted his teeth and said.
"I'm afraid you can't do it yet, your martial arts have entered the artistic conception, and you are old, and you absorb the essence too quickly. Once the medicine is in your abdomen, it is difficult to preserve its power. Doctor Guo frowned slightly, shook his head, and looked at Chen Ming and Bai Ya.
"Then it's up to me!" Bai Ya sighed and stepped forward, "I came for Zeng Xian, and the medicine is mine, I don't make medicine, who makes medicine to lead ......"
Bai Ya only felt that he was self-inflicted and could not live, and he had to bleed after taking the medicine. This time I really sent the Buddha to the west, and the little merit given by the sect is not enough to make up for the loss.
......
"Steward Zeng, rest assured, your granddaughters Zeng Hui and Zeng Cen have both returned to the mansion, but so many soldiers have died, and now the Zeng mansion is in chaos and has been blocked by the government soldiers. ”
Chen Ming came back from outside to inquire about the news, and first gave Zeng Si a reassurance.
"Have you ever found those green forest and lake guests?" Bai Ya's face turned pale and he walked out of the house.
"No news yet. Chen Ming looked at Bai Ya and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
"Fortunately, I was a little dizzy, and I was smoked a lot of blood by that damn old man Guo. White Cliff muttered in a low voice.
"I still have some blood-replenishing medicines here, do you want to ......," Chen Ming asked with a smile.
"No, I'm ...... right now. How to say it, I am very excited, and I always feel that I can't finish my strength, but if I exercise a little, I will suddenly feel dizzy!" Bai Ya said with a wry smile.
Mr. Guo said that this is because of the Nine Flavor Qingcao Pill, which fills a certain body with vitality on the one hand, but also because the qi and blood are not sufficient, the circulation of body fluids is chaotic, and he needs to recuperate for a few days. ”
"Will there be hidden dangers?" Chen Ming asked with a frown.
"Mr. Guo has checked it, and he said that because I have been taking pills all year round and have cultivated the iron cloth shirt hard skill with strong qi and blood, there should be no hidden dangers left, maybe a little blood can also strengthen the metabolism ......of body fluids," Bai Ya sighed.
"That's good!" Chen Ming smiled happily, "What about Lord Zeng, isn't he out of danger yet?"
The young master's breath has stabilized, but he is still in a coma. Zeng Si said worriedly on the side, "Mr. Guo said that it depends on whether he can wake up tomorrow, and if he can wake up, then he will survive." It's just that his origin is damaged, and he is an ordinary person, so he is afraid that he will live a short life in the future. ”
"With such a serious injury, even our martial artist will leave a dark wound, and he is very lucky to survive. Chen Ming shook his head and sighed.
"That's right, thank you to the two young heroes for their help this time, if you need the old man in the future, please feel free to speak. Zeng Si solemnly hugged his fists to the two.
"Hehe, Zeng Si, it doesn't matter if you don't help each other, you just need to abide by the preface. Chen Ming glanced at him and said meaningfully, "Brother Bai is here for Zeng Xian, but don't forget, my task is not Zeng Xian, but you!"
"Well, the old man will not forget, as long as the young master arrives in Chengdu safely, I will surrender to the government. Zeng Si smiled and nodded indifferently.
"Mr. Guo said he was going back, let's give him a ride!" Bai Ya glanced at Chen Ming.
"Okay!" Chen Ming responded quietly, and the two escorted Dr. Guo away.
"Take care, there will be a time later!" As soon as they stepped on the threshold, Zeng Si's slightly regretful voice came from behind them.
Bai Ya and Chen Ming looked at each other and smiled, this old guy was really old and knew that they were leaving. They can save Zeng Xian, they can deal with Zeng Si, but they are reluctant to face the general judge after waking up.
The constraints of the Immortal Oath were always there, and even if Bai Ya's mission was to protect Zeng Xian, he would not stay with that person.
After sending Dr. Guo for a ride, Bai Ya was a little panting, and cold sweat broke out on his face, so Chen Ming called a stagecoach to ride.
"Didn't you really find out the whereabouts of those green forest Jianghu guests?" got into the car, Bai Ya didn't talk nonsense, and asked with a cold face.
"Ha, I really can't hide anything from Brother Bai, yes, we have found out the true identities of Ning Sangu and that Kong Qing. Chen Ming's expression slowly became gloomy.
Now, if he and the Panlong Sect didn't know that they were being used, then they could really die. Now it is not Chen Ming's business alone, the Panlong Sect, as a local immortal martial sect, will certainly not endure being slapped in the face by a few green forest martial artists.
Although it only took more than half a day, as soon as the Panlong faction launched the intelligence network, they immediately found out the roots of Ning Sangu and Kong Qing, and even their whereabouts were being tracked, and it was estimated that they would soon be able to find out.
"Oh, what kind of background are that fat cook lady and that scholar?" Bai Ya asked slowly with anger on his face.
"That fat cook's real name is Hu Sanniang, and her nickname is 'Night Fox', and her peers call her the third sister or third aunt. Chen Ming said with a light smile.
"According to the information given by the sect's spies, this woman seems to be very good. It has been more than 30 years since Lvlin's debut, and he has done countless large and small cases, but he has never been arrested, and few people have even seen his true face. If it weren't for her uncertain whereabouts, there were still several Immortal Martial Sects in the early years who wanted to admit her into the door. ”
"Haven't you been arrested for more than thirty years?" Bai Ya's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he said with a little surprise, "That's really remarkable, it's a strange flower." ”
Bai Ya has been in Qingcheng for many years and has seen the power of the great sect in the world. This woman has been able to roam the green forest road for more than 30 years without incident, and she can indeed be regarded as a genius in some aspects.
"Hehe, she is proficient in disguise and mimicry, and she has many pseudonyms, and the form and appearance we saw that day may not be her true face. Chen Ming paused and continued.
"The most important thing is that this woman has a very good brain, many of the cases she has done are fraud cases, and there is actually a prince among the deceived people. The strategy to lure us and Zeng Si away from Zeng's mansion this time is probably from her. ”
Chen Ming remembered the information he had read, and also felt a little incredible, "However, she hasn't been arrested for so many years, because this woman usually follows the rules." Neither indiscriminately kills nor harms innocents, so the Immortal Martial Sects in this area do not regard her as a successful moral task. ”
"Hmph, so she is willing to take risks this time, it should be the last work of collecting the mountain?" Bai Ya grinded his teeth and said with a little headache, "If this is the case, you have to urge the sect spies, otherwise it will be difficult to find her as soon as she disappears." ”
"That'...... What about the other one?"
"The other person's real name is Kong Qing, the rivers and lakes are known as 'Jade Face Xiucai', he is the second master of Kong Jiazhai in Baoshan, Langzhong, and the other big master is the artistic conception martial artist, called Kong Jie!" Speaking of Kong Qing, Chen Ming's face sank.
"Kongjiazhai is a local bandit, but its first two generations of village owners are still thieves and have a way, and there is no harm to the neighbors, so several local immortal martial arts sects have not exterminated them. But this time...... I'm afraid that I can't live because of my own iniquity. ”
"Hehe, I know what Brother Bai means, Kongjiazhai will hand it over to our Panlong faction, and this 'night fox' Hu Sanniang will be handed over to you, how about it?" Chen Ming asked with a smile.
"Hmm!" Bai Ya nodded in agreement, leaning against the wall of the car and slowly closing his eyes, and after a while, a slight snoring sounded sound.
