Chapter 7: The Poisonous Beggars 1
One.
Yanzhou has 25 counties including Feng County, Ziyang, Surabaya, and Juye. Among them, Qufu, the hometown of Confucius, has been visited by many Confucian scholars to this day. However, in the past ten years, in addition to Confucianism, there is another group of people who have worked tirelessly to visit Qufu. They are patients and their families, who go to Qufu just to find famous doctors and seek medical advice. Jishi Medical Center is located on a hill more than ten miles southeast of Qufu County, where an old man named Zheng Conglin lives. He used to be the imperial physician of the former emperor, and because of his advanced age, he returned to his hometown and settled here. He could have enjoyed his old age in peace, but he cared about the people and opened a hospital here. First, it can benefit the people and help the world, and secondly, it can also cultivate disciples and let themselves have successors. In this way, the Jishi Medical Center became famous and attracted groups of patients to come here for treatment. Among them are Wang Yi and Liu Mazi.
That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high. Liu Mazi carried Wang Yi over the wall of the Jishi Medical Hall. On the other side of the wall, two people were already waiting to come and answer here. Liu Mazi climbed over the wall, and the two took Wang Yi on his back and walked into a room in the backyard of the hospital. Liu Mazi recognized Zheng Conglin sitting in the room at a glance.
Zheng Conglin glanced at Liu Mazi, nodded, and sat down next to Wang Yi.
"Take off his clothes!" The two people who had just come in carrying Wang Yi picked up Wang Yi's clothes according to the instructions of the white-haired doctor. At this time, Liu Mazi suddenly said to Zheng Conglin.
"Sir, I have a reluctant ......!"
Zheng Conglin stretched out his right index finger and put it between his mouth, signaling him not to speak, Liu Mazi had to keep his mouth shut honestly. Although the two have met many times, Liu Mazi can't have a good impression of him.
Zheng Conglin wore a rare pair of Western glasses and carefully looked at Wang Yi, who was lying there naked. And Liu Mazi had to stand honestly in the corner of the room, grabbing the corner of his clothes and waiting patiently. At this time, Liu Mazi had already changed out of the stolen clothes and put on his beggar outfit. For the bohemian Liu Mazi, only this dress can make him feel comfortable. He carried a sack with six knots tied across his shoulder. This is a symbol of the status of the disciples of the six knots of the beggar gang. It turned out that Liu Mazi was the helmsman of the first gang in the world, the beggar gang Shandong rudder. He wears an iron pot around his waist all year round, which he uses to cook when he is hungry, to shelter him when it rains, and of course, to use it as a murder weapon. This is the famous Ruyi Ding.
The beggars set up two general rudders in the north and south, and set up a sub-rudder in each of the 13 provinces in the country. And each rudder is equipped with a rudder according to the number of states and counties in the province. Therefore, Liu Mazi, who is the helmsman of the beggar gang, can be regarded as a figure with a head and a face. In addition, he is strong in martial arts and cautious, and he is quite prestigious in the martial arts.
At this time, Liu Mazi was very distressed. He met Wang Yi on the way back to Shandong after a two-month rudder inspection. The reason why he obeyed Wang Yi's dispatch was because of his ease after completing his important tasks, out of curiosity, and because of chivalry. However, the development of events was far beyond his expectations. Especially when he learned that Wang Yi was a murderer and a vicious person who didn't blink an eye, he didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.
"When he's done, it's time for me to leave. Liu Mazi secretly thought in his heart. Once again, however, things went unexpected. Zheng Conglin observed Wang Yi's wounds, checked his pulse again, and then turned around and shook his head at Liu Mazi.
Liu Mazi frowned and asked.
"Hopeless?"
"It's a miracle that he has survived so far, so you better prepare for him as soon as possible. With that, he walked towards the door. Liu Mazi stopped him and said.
"Since people are still alive, you can't stand by and see death without saving you, right?"
"It's too late. ”
After Zheng Conglin finished speaking lightly, he walked straight out of the room. Liu Mazi wanted to say something, but he didn't say it. Zheng Conglin's indifferent attitude made him feel disappointed. He dressed Wang Yi, wrapped him in a quilt, and carried him out of the room. Zheng Conglin, who had taken a step first, glanced back at him and asked.
"Is this going to bury him?" replied Liu Mazi angrily.
"Go find another doctor. Liu Mazi's words angered Zheng Conglin, and he said indignantly.
"If it's just a skin injury, no matter how severe, I can heal it. If it's just poisoning, no matter how deep the poison is, as long as it takes some time, I can find an antidote. But now, the patient's strength is exhausted, and even if Hua Tuo is reincarnated, he is afraid that he will not be able to return to heaven. I advise you not to waste your time, you are adding to the patient's suffering, and it is wise to prepare for his aftermath as early as possible. ”
Liu Mazi frowned and said.
"As a healer, how can you say such a thing in front of a patient?" he wanted to say something more, but held back. After all, Zheng Conglin is a famous doctor who hangs the pot to help the world, and for Wang Yi, he can be regarded as doing his best, no matter what, he can't lose his courtesy. However, Zheng Conglin's words aroused the arrogance in his heart, and made him find a way to save Wang Yi no matter what. At this time, he suddenly thought of someone.
"I still have a way to try, so I'll go first. Before he could finish speaking, he carried Wang Yi over the wall.
The method Liu Mazi said was to take Wang Yi to meet someone. That person is not Lang Zhong, not to mention that Liu Mazi can no longer find Lang Zhong who is more skilled than Zheng Conglin's medical skills, even if he can find it, he is afraid that ordinary medical skills will not be able to cure Wang Yi. Liu Mazi had no choice but to make a desperate bet and become a live horse doctor, of course, provided that the person was willing to help. Unexpectedly, the man agreed to Liu Mazi's request very happily, and on the contrary, accused him of not sending the patient here earlier.
"Is there any hope?"
"Absolutely!"
"Although this is the first time I've seen such an injury, he has now entered the state I dreamed of! That is, the state of complete poisoning, hahaha!"
Wang Yi was stripped naked again, lying naked on the bed, his whole body covered with dense silver needles. Liu Mazi stood aside and looked at Wang Yi with a puzzled expression.
"Maybe it's because I'm lonely, but I've never heard of silver needles that can detoxify ......!"
"Of course you can't have heard of it, because the silver needle not only does not detoxify, but also speeds up the poison. ”
"What?"
Liu Mazi was taken aback and his eyes widened. This person's name is Ximen Jing, and he is one of the nine elders of the beggar gang, but because of his strange style, he is isolated in the gang. Ximen Jing usually studies all kinds of poisons, and is known as a poisonous beggar. Facing Liu Mazi's questioning, Ximen Jing scratched her straw-like hair, grinned, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth, and kept giggling.
What is total poisoning?
Liu Mazi was at a loss and didn't know what to say. Not to mention that Liu Mazi has no research on poison, it is even more strange for him to know such a word coined by Ximen Jing.
"The so-called complete poisoning is ......," Ximen Jing proudly explained his unique views on poison. He is the leading master of drug use in the Central Plains, and has devoted his life to the study of drugs. Because of this, he became the most unpopular elder of the beggar gang.
The so-called famous and decent people in the martial arts, although they are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, they do it behind their backs, but they are all unsightly deeds. Even so, the martial arts have the rules of the martial arts, and the use of highly poisonous hidden weapons is an act that the entire martial arts despise. This is especially true of the Nine Gangs, which claim to be famous and upright. Because of this, Ximen Jing, one of the nine elders of the Beggar Gang, had to live in seclusion at the foot of this lonely mountain, living with his poison all day long.
Liu Mazi didn't learn any martial arts from Ximen Jing, and he couldn't talk about any friendship with Ximen Jing. However, he still found an excellent retreat for Ximenjing, so that he could devote himself to the study of the art of using poison. Unlike the rest of the beggar gang, Liu Mazi still has a good impression of Ximenjing. After all, Ximen Jing's poisonous fame shocked the world, but he was willing to succumb to the beggar gang, which shows that his character is not bad.
"Hey!" Liu Mazi was startled. He came back to his senses and found that Ximen Jing was staring at him suspiciously, as if he was blaming himself for not listening carefully to his explanation. Ximen Jing asked impatiently.
"Do you understand?" Liu Mazi pretended to be calm and nodded, while desperately recalling what Ximen Jing had just said. In other words, he had several poisons in his body at the same time, and these poisons interacted with each other in his body to save his life. Is that what it means?"
"That's called mutual restraint. To be precise, there are a total of seven poisons in his body, and each poison has seven different properties, that is to say, there are a total of seven hundred and forty-nine deadly poisons in his body, which allowed him to save his life. Interestingly, this kid was on the verge of death before using the poison, and the vitality in his body was greatly damaged, and these forty-nine kinds of poison entered the body instead of the vitality, completely occupying his body and hollowing out his acquired qi. Now, his breath is not broken, it is completely because the poisonous gas supports the innate qi in his body, which is the result of complete poisoning. ”
The more Ximen Jing spoke, the more intoxicated he became, completely forgetting Liu Mazi's rudeness, and explained it to him again. The more Liu Mazi listened, the more confused he became, and he didn't know what Ximen Jing was talking about.
"If I don't interrupt him again, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop for a whole day. Liu Mazi deliberately opened his mouth wide, yawned deeply, and then hurriedly bowed his head to apologize to Ximen Jing, who was so angry that his face was blue. If it weren't for that, Ximen Jing would probably have to talk about it for a day and a night. Thinking of the lonely old man in front of him, Liu Mazi put down his body and solemnly apologized to him again.
"The disciple is ignorant and does not understand the subtleties in the elder's words, and he hopes that the elder will bear with him. Listening to Liu Mazi's words, Ximen Jing turned his anger into joy and said with a smile.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's normal for a layman to understand the mystery of poison. I can't explain it to you, it's all my fault. However, as the master of a rudder, martial arts are important, but you can't be so unlearned. To put it simply, it was the poison in his body that saved his life, and it was ......!"
Although Liu Mazi heard it in a fog, he knew that Wang Yi was still alive, and his hanging heart was relaxed. And for Ximen Jing, who was gushing endlessly in front of him, he let it go and let him be happy.
"In the absence of acquired qi, only a trace of innate qi remains, forty-nine kinds of poisons are mutually reinforcing in the body, and the poisonous gas flows through the whole body, making him hairy and marrowy, and reborn, which is not far from my dream. ”
Cutting hair and marrow, rebirth.
This is an excellent physique suitable for practicing martial arts, and it is also a physical fitness that martial arts practitioners dream of.
"I've only heard of some elixirs that can make people have this kind of physique, but I've never heard that poison can have such an effect"
"It's the first time I've seen it!"
"What?"
Ximen Jing looked at Wang Yi incredulously. Liu Mazi frowned, and couldn't help but wonder if he was looking for the wrong person.
Ximen Jing said.
"For so many years, I have been struggling to find someone who has fallen into a state of complete poisoning, and this is really a nowhere to find in my iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there! Now, after years of cultivation, I am finally about to achieve a positive result!" His voice became quieter and quieter, and gradually he could no longer hear anything, only to see him muttering something. The cave was damp, the walls smelled strange, and the dim light shone on Simon Jing, and half of his shadow was swaying back and forth on the ground. Liu Mazi couldn't guess what Ximen Jing was thinking, but he vaguely felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time, and it was better to leave early.
"When he's able to move, let's get out of here. Although Liu Mazi thought so, he faintly felt in his heart that Ximen Jing would not let them go easily. In any case, he is an elder of the beggar gang, and he has the world's poisonous skills to protect his body, and his martial arts are far above Liu Mazi.
