Chapter 12: Gu Poison (2)

Xiang Bei smiled bitterly: "Isn't this just a chance to say." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Miao Miao ignored Xiang Bei's explanation and said anxiously: "Don't tease you, I'll go see my father right away." Let him detoxify your friend as soon as possible. "Anyway, without waiting for Xiang Bei's word thank you, like a gust of wind, it swept past Xiang Bei and ran straight to the attic opposite the wing room.

After a while, the girl came out of the attic, and out with her was a middle-aged man, he was dressed in a plain white Miao suit, without a tiara, with long hair and a shawl, a slender figure, a dark face, eyes like torches, a calm face, and a steady pace.

When Xiang Bei saw this person, he hurriedly rushed forward, knelt down and saluted, and said respectfully:

"Disciple Xiang Bei visited the teacher. ”

A smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face, and he said gently:

"Xiang Gongzi has always been unharmed, I wonder if your grandfather, General Xiang, is as good as before?"

Xiang Bei became more and more respectful and said:

"Thank you to the teacher for your concern, the student's grandfather is in good health. You can still eat three bowls of rice and drink a pound of wine at each meal. In addition, the teacher taught the students the serpentine palm, and the students have been practicing diligently, and if the teacher has time, he will continue to guide the students. ”

The middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction, and said:

"Listen to Miao Miao, you have a friend who has been poisoned, I don't know what kind of friend this person is?

Xiang Beidao: "It is not clear how the poison was made, but my friend is not an ordinary person, he is the nineteenth son of the king of Chu, Xiong Jieyu......"

Before Xiang Bei's words were finished, he found that the middle-aged man's face changed suddenly, and he couldn't help but secretly exclaim. At this time, the middle-aged man's tone had become very cold, and he said:

"Xiang Gongzi, it's not that the teacher doesn't give you face, since your friend is the prince of Chu, please find another master, it is unlikely that he will rescue the people in the royal family. With that, he flicked his sleeves and turned away.

Xiang Bei even regretted his intestines at this time, and he complained bitterly in his heart, complaining that his mouth was too fast, and he really shouldn't have said the identity of Nineteen. He forgot that his teacher had a great grudge with the Chu royal family! It seemed that it would be difficult for the teacher to save Nineteen.

Miao Miao stood aside, she didn't expect her father to walk away, looking at Xiang Bei's dejected appearance, she was anxious, and hurriedly grabbed her father and begged:

"Father is angry, although the patient is a prince, but after all, he is a friend of Xiang Gongzi, for the sake of Xiang Gongzi's love, let's make an exception!"

The middle-aged man sneered: "You are a girl, what do you know! No matter how big Xiang Gongzi's face is, can it be greater than the lives of tens of thousands of Miao people? If I don't go to the Chu Palace to take the life of the King of Chu, how can I save the son of the King of Chu?" The sleeves of the robe shook, shook Miao Miao's hands away, and entered the attic without looking back.

Miao Miao and Xiang Bei were relatively speechless. After a while, Miao Miao softly comforted Xiang Beidao:

"My father has a bad temper, but he is a very good person, you must not blame him, when he is angry, how about I help you persuade him?"

Xiang Bei sighed and said in frustration: "I know the teacher's temper very well, how can he easily change his mind? And even if the teacher loses his anger and changes his mind, how long will it take? I am afraid that the nineteenth prince will not be able to wait that long." ”

"Brother Xiang, Brother Xiang", at this time, the call of nineteen came from the side room.

Xiang Bei and Miao Miao hurriedly walked into the wing, and Nineteen came to their senses again at this time, their faces were flushed, and there was no longer any tingling in their bodies, but they were weak and weak, leaning on the bed, looking weak.

Xiang Bei asked with concern, "Nineteenth Prince, how do you feel?"

Nineteen didn't answer immediately, and when he saw Miao Miao, he looked at Xiang Bei with an inquiring look.

Xiang Bei hurriedly said: "This is Miss Miao Miao, who is my good friend." ”

Miao Miao glanced at Xiang Bei, and said with resentment: "What do you mean to be a friend?

Xiang Bei consciously lost his words, and could only touch his nose and smile bitterly awkwardly at Miao Miao's mocking words with a gun and a stick.

Nineteen said in a very sincere tone: "Sister Miao is so good-looking, I have never seen such a beautiful sister." Just now, I heard everything outside, thank you sister for interceding for me, but I don't know why my father offended my sister's father?"

Miao Miao listened to Nineteen's question, her face changed slightly, and she bowed her head and did not answer. Xiang Bei sighed and said:

"It's a long story. My teacher, that is, Miao Miao's father, whose real name is Miao Fengshan, is a Miao ethnic group. This Miao people were originally divided into North Miao, West Miao, and South Miao, and North Miao is a close neighbor of my Chu State, and has lived in Wushan City for generations, and my teacher is the high priest of North Miao. Twenty years ago, Dou Bo, the patriarch of the Dou clan, took a fancy to the wealth and prosperity of Wushan City, so he said that the king of Chu would lead a large army to attack Beimiao. My teacher was seriously wounded in this battle, but he was lucky enough to survive. After that, I went incognito and wandered in the Chu country until I met my grandfather. As for why he came to my Xiang family and why he came to Yuncheng, I don't know the details. For as long as I can remember, Mr. Miao has served as the teacher of my Xiang clan, but he is unwilling to go to the Chu court as an official, so he must have never been able to let go of the destruction of his clan. ”

Nineteen listened, pondered for a while, and said:

"Brother Xiang, Mr. Miao has a deep blood feud with my Chu country, and it is impossible to detoxify me anymore. In this case, I still ask Brother Xiang to send me back to Yingdu. If I die, my brother will bury me next to my mother!"

When Xiang Bei heard this, he felt very uncomfortable, holding Nineteen's cold little hand, and saying some comforting words in his mouth that even he didn't believe:

"Good brother, you are blessed with a great life, you will definitely be fine, you were born with a vision of heaven and earth, who can take your life? Don't be discouraged, don't be discouraged, don't be discouraged!"

Miao Miao on the side looked at the state of the nineteenth, but she was thoughtful. Based on her understanding of Gu poison, the people in the Gu were all in great pain at the last moment of the poison, and they died with hideous faces under all kinds of torture. And these nineteen princes have been poisoned for three days, but there is no sign of pain and struggle, although they seem to be unbearable, but they are clear-headed, and their words are clear, and they do not look like people whose lives are in danger. However, when he heard the symptoms of the disease described by Xiang Bei, he saw that his face was blue, and he was completely in the form of a Gu. Miao Miao was puzzled, it seems that only by asking her father can she answer this question, but her father is also a stubborn person, who can persuade him to move?

Just as Miao Miao was still thinking hard, Xiang Bei suddenly stood up again and said to Miao Miao:

"No, I have to beg the teacher to come to my rescue, and if he doesn't agree, I'll kneel in front of the attic door and not get up. ”

Miao Miao shook her head and dissuaded: "It's useless, I know my father too well, if you insist on doing this, he will be even more angry and will backfire." ”

Xiang Bei sat down again in frustration, and said dejectedly: "Then what should I do? Could it be that I saw that this nineteen was poisoned and died? Hey, if the nineteenth master Shi Nanzi was here, maybe there would be a way." ”

Nineteen said gloomily: "I don't know if the master is in Shinan Mountain now, even if he is in Shinan Mountain, if I go to find him now, I'm afraid it's too late!"

Miao Miao listened to the conversation between the two, paused for a moment, seemed to have an understanding, and then suddenly jumped up in ecstasy and asked anxiously:

"Xiang Gongzi, who did you say was the master of the Nineteenth Prince?"

Xiang Bei looked at Miao Miao, whose demeanor had changed drastically, in surprise, and replied, "It's Nanzi, the Taoist patriarch, what's wrong?"

Miao Miao stomped her feet and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier? After speaking, without waiting for Xiang Bei to ask, he rushed out of the wing. Xiang Bei and Nineteen looked at each other inexplicably, not knowing what happened to this Miao Miao.

In less than ten breaths, the wings were pushed open with a "bang", and Miao Miao's father, Miao Fengshan, took the lead in striding in, while Miao Miao followed behind panting.

Miao Fengshan walked to the bed, stared straight at Nineteen, his face was slightly excited, and asked in a deep voice:

"Little Prince, is your master really Mr. Shinanzi?"

Seeing Miao Fengshan, Nineteen hurriedly struggled to sit up, reluctantly saluted, and said respectfully:

"I have a salute to my seniors, my master is indeed the Taoist patriarch Shi Nanzi, and I am the only disciple of his old man. ”

Miao Fengshan sighed: "He never accepts apprentices from his old man, but there are thousands of people who respect him and regard him as a teacher in their hearts? You can become the only disciple of his old man, that is really a great opportunity! I saw him 20 years ago, and he saved my life, and he has the grace to recreate me." Since you are a disciple of Mr. Shinanzi, no matter what your identity is, I must save you, just now because I didn't understand the situation, I almost missed the life of my benefactor's disciple, I'm really ashamed, it's good that the little prince doesn't seem to be surprised. As he spoke, an apologetic expression appeared on his face. Seeing Xiang Bei who was stunned beside him, he slapped Xiang Bei on the back of the head with his hand, and said angrily:

"You bastard, why didn't you tell the identity of the little prince earlier, you almost delayed the big thing!"

Xiang Bei is really suffering at this time, think about it, I really blame myself, if I didn't mention the identity of the prince of the nineteenth at the beginning, and directly said the identity of the disciple of Shinanzi, why would there be twists and turns?

Nineteen faced the comedic scene, there was a feeling of being in a desperate situation, and hurriedly said to Miao Fengshan: "Thank you, seniors, the grace of saving your life, you must remember it!"

Miao Fengshan waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, if you judge from Mr. Shinanzi, I should still call you a little brother." If you talk about Xiang Bei and Miao Miao, you can also call me uncle. Don't thank me now, and when I'm detoxified, it's not too late to thank me. ”

As he spoke, he sat down on the edge of the bed, put his right hand on the pulse of Nineteen's left hand, took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, and began to probe Nineteen's body.

It took a moment for the expedition to end. During this period, Miao Fengshan's facial expression was always changing, first heavy, then surprised, and finally confused. The slightly closed eyes did not open as the exploration ended, but fell into a long period of contemplation.

Xiang Bei on the side had been staring at Miao Fengshan nervously, and when he saw that he was silent, he was even more nervous, not knowing whether the final result would be fierce or auspicious.

After a long time, Miao Fengshan finally opened his eyes, looked at Nineteen with a strange gaze, and said slowly:

"The pulse of the Nineteenth Prince is very peculiar, completely different from ordinary people. I have already discovered that the Gu in the Nineteenth Prince is a very rare lice Gu among insect Gus. After ordinary people are poisoned by Gu, they will attack within an hour, if there is no antidote, it will not exceed twenty-four hours, the lice Gu will be integrated into the blood, and the poisoned person will be numb and itchy all over the body, and finally die of blood collapse. And the nineteenth prince has been in the Gu for three days, and the lice poison has long been integrated into the blood, so it stands to reason that he should have died of poison a long time ago, but the nineteenth prince is not only alive, but also has no sense of numbness. Theoretically, the Nineteenth Prince's Gu poison had already been self-resolved, and the reason why he was weak and powerless now was because he hadn't eaten for three days. The flushing of the face is caused by the dissolution of lice venom in the blood. ”

Xiang Bei and Miao Miao couldn't help but cheer when they heard this. And Nineteen also had a sense of the aftermath of his life, but when he remembered that he hadn't eaten for three days, the hunger that he had been unaware of quickly attacked, but now Xiang Bei and Miao Miao obviously ignored his feelings, so they had to endure it for the time being.

Miao Fengshan did not have joy on his face, but continued solemnly:

"Don't be too happy, the lice Gu is still in the body of the Nineteenth Prince, it will not die automatically, sooner or later it will be a big hidden danger. And why Nineteen will automatically dissolve lice venom, this also needs to be further explored and the answer can be found as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be difficult to make people feel at ease. ”

Xiang Bei hurriedly asked, "Does the teacher have a way to eliminate lice Gu?"

Miao Fengshan smiled confidently and said proudly:

"Of course there is a way. I will use the Golden Silkworm Gu I have cultivated for many years to put it into the body of the Nineteenth Prince, urge the Golden Silkworm Gu to eat the lice Gu, and then release the Golden Silkworm Gu, so that the future trouble can be relieved once and for all. ”

Of course, Xiang Bei knew about the Golden Silkworm Gu, this was the highest-level insect Gu refined by the Miao people, and people with advanced power could not refine it successfully, let alone control it. However, after the Golden Silkworm Gu entered Nineteen's body, would it lure the wolf into the house? On the premise of not harming Nineteen, would the lice Gu be successfully eliminated?

Xiang Bei was mixed for a while.
