Chapter 90: Catching the Heart and Poison

The next morning, before dawn, Citamine came to the door of the Yi Dan room and knocked on the door.

"Who?" Yi Dan asked.

"It's me, Xinle, Sister Yi, are you awake?" asked Xinle.

Yi Dan yawned and opened the door and said, "Miss Xinle, it's you, are you so early?"

"It's not early, I didn't have anyone last night," Citra said.

"Why don't you sleep?" Yi Dan asked.

"Miss Yi, you also know about my master, in the past few days, Sheng Daxia's health has gradually improved, do you know? Yesterday the master called the three of us over and explained what happened. As she spoke, tears fell.

Yi Dan hurriedly took out a handkerchief, wiped her tears for Xinle, and asked, "Then what can we do now?"

"No matter what, I won't let my master do anything stupid. Miss Yi, do you know, my two senior brothers and I were both adopted and raised by the master since childhood, and the master taught us to read, write, heal and save people, just like our own father, we must not watch him do stupid things. Over the years, Master and his old man have done good deeds and accumulated virtues, helping the suffering, even if there have been any mistakes in the past, they should be able to write them off, right?" said Xinle.

"Cita, I understand your thoughts. But the person who can't forgive the medicine king is not the big brother who has a grudge, but the medicine king's own conscience. He can't stand the torture of his conscience to be so painful. He is actually only interested in paying off the debts he once owed, don't you understand his thoughts?" Yi Dan said.

"Of course I understand, but I don't know how to untie the knot in Master's heart. Citamine said.

"To untie the bell, you have to tie the bell, in fact, Brother Chi Qiu is the most suitable person to untie this knot, but it's a pity... Ay. Yi Dan said earnestly.

"Well, you're right. For the sake of today's plan, it seems that only by asking for forgiveness from that big brother Jing can we untie the knot in Master's heart," Xin Le said.

"But the resentment in Brother Zhiqiu's heart is too deep, I'm afraid that no one will be able to solve it for a while," Yi Dan said.

"If you can't solve it, you have to find a way to solve it. Anyway, no matter what method is used, whether it is persuasion or stalking, whatever I am asked to do, I am willing. Citamine said.

"Miss Xinle, you have to be measured, and you must not overdo it, otherwise I am afraid that I will anger Brother Zhiqiu again. Yi Dan reminded.

"Well, don't worry, I'll know the measure. Zinak replied.

"So, what do you need me to do for you?" Yi Dan asked.

"No need. It's hard to talk about a lot of people, so I'll quietly go down the mountain to find that big brother Jing for a while. But I want you to help me drag Master and accompany him, so that he doesn't have the opportunity to do stupid things. Citamine said.

"I see, so you came to me for this matter?" Yi Dan asked.

"That's right, that's it," Zitra said.

"Well, no problem, don't worry. My junior brother and I, as well as Sheng Daxia, will accompany the Medicine King. Yi Dan said with a smile.

"Well, that's good, then I'll go down the mountain. My master will ask you. Citamine said.

"Okay, go early and come back early, waiting for your good news. ”

So, Xinle quietly went down the mountain to find revenge. And Yi Dan called Youming, who had just gotten up, and Sheng Luniu, and came to Yaofeng Courtyard together. Find an excuse to chat and play chess with the medicine king.

In the Yaofeng Courtyard, as soon as the medicine king, who had not slept all night, walked out of the door, he met the eldest apprentice Shanwen, so he asked suspiciously: "Shanwen, are there no people coming to see the doctor today?"

"Yes, Master has not seen anyone today. Yama replied.

"Well, that's fine, I hope that the fewer people we have here, the better, and the people are safe, healthy, disease-free, and painless, how good it would be. The Medicine King said.

At this time, Yi Dan came out of the side room and said loudly: "People eat grains and get sick, and they will inevitably have headaches and brain fevers, so you can't just sit idly by, King of Medicine?"

"Well, the old man hopes that there will never be a sick person in the world, so that the old man will be happy even if he doesn't do anything. The Medicine King said.

"How is that possible? Your old man is not yet the time to rest, and you see, there seems to be a sick person coming up the hill down the mountain. As he spoke, Yi Dan pointed to the figure vaguely walking down the mountain.

At this time, the apprentice Shan Wen also immediately reacted and said: "Yes, Master, there are so many people in the world who are suffering from illness, and they are still pointing at you, you have to be responsible for them." ”

"There is more than one old man in the world, where can the old man see so many people?" said the medicine king.

"That's right, there are indeed many doctors in the world, but the doctor who will always provide free free medical treatment is only you, the king of Wuyi Yam. Yi Dan praised.

"Yes, the King of Medicine, you are kind-hearted, you are a beacon that illuminates this dark world. "You Ming took Yi Dan's words of praising Jiang Suyue before, and it couldn't be more suitable for use at this moment.

"What kind of beacon is the old man, just a prisoner with a guilty body. "It turns out that over the years, the Medicine King has been imprisoning himself in his heart, that's why he said so.

"Medicine King, no matter what, the people of Wuyi Mountain need you, you can't let their last hope be disappointed, at that time, there will really be a glimmer of light in this world. Yi Dan said.

"Girl, you are exaggerating when you say that. In fact, the old man knew in his heart that free free clinics were not a long-term solution. If one day everyone can afford to see the disease, there will be more and better medicinal materials and more doctors, so that the virtuous cycle will continue. The old man doesn't know if there is such a day in this world, but the old man will definitely not see it in this life. The Medicine King said regretfully about the ideal world in his heart.

"Anyway, Fan Zeng, we can't do without you now," Yi Dan said.

"Yes, Master, we can't do without you," Shanwen and Zhao Cheng both echoed.

The Medicine King looked at everyone and suddenly realized: "I'll just say, why are you so strange, you all come to surround me." Are you afraid that I won't be able to open it?"

"No, Master. Where do we think that? We don't think like that, right, junior brother?" said Yamabun, pretending to be innocent.

"yes, we didn't think so. Zhao Cheng also cooperated with the answer.

"Hey, don't worry, before Jing Shaoxia came to me, I wouldn't cut myself. The Medicine King said with a sigh.

Hearing this, Shanwen and Zhao Cheng nodded to each other and signaled to each other.

"Although the old man is very interested in this crippled body. I don't have any nostalgia anymore, but I still want to treat a few more people, even if it is half an hour more for me and save one more. Hey, I only blame myself for wasting a lot of time when I was young, and now I can't wait to spend a quarter of an hour as a year. Speaking of this, the Medicine King turned his head to look at Yi Dan and continued: "The old man really envies you. At a young age, you can do what you want to do, please cherish your good youth and don't do things that you regret when you are old."

"Thank you for the teachings of the Medicine King, I must remember it in the future," Yi Dan said respectfully.

"May I ask if the old man of the Divine Dragon Medicine King is there?" While everyone was talking, they suddenly heard someone shouting outside the door.

When they looked around, they saw a man and a woman standing at the gate of the courtyard, two men in their forties, dressed in animal skins. They carried a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old on a plank. And the young man was tied to the plank with rope, and he was still struggling and shouting: "Quick, let me down, you are all devils." It's all demons, devils"

Everyone in the courtyard was puzzled. At this time, Shanwen pointed to the Medicine King and said, "This is the Divine Dragon Medicine King, may I ask how many of you are here to see a doctor?"

The two middle-aged men and women looked weathered. After seeing the white-haired Divine Dragon Medicine King, he immediately knelt down.

"Two of you, please hurry up, if you have anything to say, come in and say" The medicine king hurriedly stepped forward to help the pair of men and women.

"Great. I didn't expect us to finally meet the Dragon Medicine King. Please have mercy on the Medicine King and save my son. The woman said with tears in her eyes.

"Yes, please be merciful to the Medicine King and save my son. The man also hurriedly pleaded with the medicine king.

"Quick, let me go, you demons, you are all Heavenly Demon Demons, let go of me, let go of me. The man on the plank continued to shout.

"Two, if there's anything going on, please go inside first."

After the two put the wooden board down, they saw that the young man on the wooden board was staring at the two of them with angry eyes, as if he wanted to swallow his life alive.

"Excuse me, two, what's going on?" the Medicine King asked.

"Medicine King, our family of three is all from the Xiande Mansion of Bohai Kingdom. She is my wife, and it is our son Rongli who is tied to the board. The man replied.

"I don't know what disease your son has, do you need to tie it up like this, and carry it all the way from the Bohai Sea?" Zhao Cheng asked curiously.

"Senior brother, you see this person barking so wildly, I think he must be suffering from mania," Shan Wen said.

"Don't guess yet, listen to the two of them," said the Medicine King.

"Yes, Master" After the two of them listened to the order, they did not dare to interject again.

"Medicine King, under the name Rong Li, this is my wife Xiao, and the person tied to the wooden board is our son Rong Mian. He was a salt merchant in the Bohai Kingdom, and he had been selling salt for generations. However, my son loves to practice martial arts, and has learned a little kung fu, he is not very good, but he loves to act chivalrous and righteous, and fight unevenly. Half a year ago, he suddenly disappeared, and we can't find his whereabouts anywhere. Later, I accidentally learned that our son was most likely taken away by the people of the Dade Sect, so I helped the two of them to inquire about the location of the Dade Sect, until half a month ago, a hero surnamed Zuo from Shezhou, took us to sneak into the Dade Sect, and found that our son was really a disciple in the Dade Sect, and Zuo Daxia helped us rescue our son. ”

"Shezhou Zuo Daxia, may I ask that Zuo Daxia, is the big name Zuo Daotian?" Yi Dan asked.

"That's right, it's called Left Scratch the Sky. It was Zuo Daxia who asked us to take our son to Wuyi Mountain to find the Divine Dragon Medicine King, and he said that there is a Yi girl who should also be here, who is Miss Yi?" asked Na Rong Li.

"The next surname is Yi Mingdan, which is exactly what Zuo Daxia said about Miss Yi, may I ask the two, is Zuo Daxia okay?"

"It turns out that you are Miss Yi, please rest assured Miss Yi, Zuo Daxia is still very good. He also asked us to send you a message, so that you can go to the Bohai Kingdom to find him after finishing your errands. Rong Li said.

"Well, I see, thank you both!" Yi Dan replied.

"Please also ask the girl to help us beg the medicine king, please let him save my son, we look at him like a knife. Rong Li said.

"May I ask what disease your son is suffering from, and why is he so manic?" asked Yi Dan.

"We don't know what his illness is, since he rescued him from the Dade Sect, he doesn't recognize us, and he keeps beating and scolding, crying and making trouble, and he has to go back to the Dade Sect, just like now. Rong Li's wife Xiao said.

"I beg the Medicine King to see what kind of disease this son has," Yi Dan said to the Medicine King.

"May I ask what are Ling Lang's symptoms?" the Medicine King asked the two of them.

"My son before. is smart and sensible, but after rescuing him this time, he seems to be a completely different person. Sometimes they recognize us, sometimes they don't. Xiao said.

"Yes, when I knew him, I was fine, but when I didn't know him, I was furious, laughed and scolded impermanence, and threatened to kill people and return to Dadejiao. He also kept reciting the teachings of Dade. As soon as Rong Li's words fell, the son on the wooden board heard the word "doctrine." He immediately said, "Yes, the doctrine, I want to memorize the doctrine by heart, and I can't betray the sect master, and I can't betray the sect master." If anyone dares to betray the Master, we will let his soul fly away and his bones will be shattered. The Holy Sect Master is the master of heaven and earth, the brilliance of all things, and the eternal red sun in the hearts of the congregation. Only by following the red sun can there be light, hope, and light. There is hope..."The young man's eyes were blank, his body kept shaking rhythmically, and he was reciting the so-called dogma to himself.

"Hmph, Dadejiao. It's this great virtue again. They owe enough blood debt. Yi Dan said through gritted teeth.

"Miss Yi, do you also know about the Great Virtue Sect?" asked the Medicine King.

"It's not just that I know that this Great Virtue Sect still has some relationship with my life experience. Yi Dan said.

"Yes, I wonder what your relationship is with this Great Virtue Sect?" asked the Medicine King.

"Anyway, I have a hatred with this Great Virtue Sect. If the king of medicine is interested, he can tell you slowly in the future. Yi Dan said.

"Well, well, let's treat him first. The Medicine King said.

The guy kept repeating himself like this. The Medicine King walked up to the guy, squatted down and carefully opened his eyelids to look at it. And this guy saw the medicine king's hand dangling in front of him, and he opened his mouth to gnaw on it, but when the medicine king saw this, he quickly withdrew his hand. Then he looked at his forehead carefully and said, "He is not suffering from an ordinary disease, if the old man is not wrong, he should have been poisoned." ”

"Gu poison, may I ask the Medicine King, what kind of poison is Gu poison?" Yi Dan asked.

"Gu poison is poison, but it is not poison. It is a type of insect specially cultivated by people and parasitizes inside the human body. These bugs will deceive people's minds and turn the victim into a puppet of the Gu, but they can't be seen at all on the surface, so ordinary people will only misunderstand that it is the victim who sincerely worships the Gu. The Medicine King explained.

"It turns out that the legendary demagogy is really true?" asked Youming.

"That's right, if the old man didn't guess wrong, this Great Virtue Sect is using Gu poison to confuse and control the sect members, so that they will be willing to obey. The Medicine King said.

"Oh, I understand, no wonder it was rumored in the rivers and lakes back then, saying that Huang Yuetian, the leader of the Great Virtue Sect, could use his noble character to make the sect members obey him and be willing to be loyal, but it turned out that he used such a vicious trick as Gu poison. Yi Dan suddenly realized.

"That's right, that's how it should be. The Medicine King said.

"The Holy Sect Master is the master of heaven and earth, the brilliance of all things, and the eternal red sun in the hearts of the sect members.

"You have to tie him up, don't let him bite, otherwise he will also be hit by the Gu. The Medicine King reminded.

"Okay, we've tied him up. Rong Li said.

"It turns out that this Great Virtue Sect is so terrifying, no wonder all the major sects on the rivers and lakes are encircling and suppressing them. Yi Dan said.

"When the old man was wandering the rivers and lakes in his early years, he heard that the Dade Sect used Gu poison to control the sect. According to the secret legend of the rivers and lakes, as long as a person is poisoned, he will be at the mercy of him, let him kill people and set fires, kill his mother and kill his father, he will obey his words and will not be soft. The Medicine King said.

"Kill my father and mother, and be at his mercy? How could this be too terrible? If I were to die myself, I would not have done such a thing. Youming said in surprise.

"That's because you don't know the power of Gu poison, once you are poisoned, your body and consciousness are not controlled by you at all, you are just a walking corpse. Then the trickster will do whatever you want to do. The Medicine King said.

"It's horrible. ”

"Yes, so when you walk the rivers and lakes in the future, you must be careful, don't fall for Gu poison, otherwise you will become a soulless killing tool. The Medicine King reminded.

"Well, thank you for the reminder. Yi Dan replied.

At this time, Sheng Luniu on the side said: "When I passed through the Bohai Kingdom, I met some members of the Dade Sect. They looked well-organized and well-trained, and I once praised them for their good teachings. I didn't expect them to be controlled by Gu poison, and now that I think about it, I'm really a little scared. ”

"May I ask the Medicine King, is there a way to crack this Gu poison?" Yi Dan asked.

"This Gu poison was originally a mysterious poisonous insect used by the Jingman Sanmiao people to protect themselves, if the poison is too deep, there is no cure. However, since this kid can occasionally wake up, it means that the Gu poison has not yet entered his brain. If it is ten and a half months late, it will be difficult to say that the Gu poison will enter the brain..."The Medicine King looked at the man on the wooden board and said.

Na Rong immediately fell to his knees with a thud. Crying and pleading, he pleaded: "Medicine King, please be merciful and save my poor child." Our husband and wife are just such a son, no matter how much it costs, we are willing to pay, just ask the king of medicine to save my son's life, please, please!"

"Hurry up, the old man never asks for money to see a doctor. Rest assured. The old man will do his best to heal him. Take care of him as I said, don't let him escape, and gag him with rags, so that he doesn't bite you. Because it also has residual Gu poison in its mouth, and if it bites a person, it will also be poisoned. The Medicine King helped the two of them up and said.

Rong Li and his wife agreed, tied up their son, and carried them into the room. The son was still yelling, "Uh-huh..."

"Two. Judging from the signs of Ling Lang's Gu and the purpose of the Great Virtue Sect's Gu, he should have been caught by the Heart Catching Gu that confused his mind. However, there are also several subdivisions of that Heart-Catching Gu. At present, the old man does not know which one of them Ling Lang is. ”

"Please have mercy on the Medicine King and save my son," Rong Li pleaded again.

"Don't worry, although this Heart-Catching Gu is extremely vicious, the Gu worm is also a worm after all, and there must be something it is afraid of. The old man knows several ways to drive away Gu, and he will try all of them to see which one works. The Medicine King said to the husband and wife.

"Okay, let's give it a try. Rong Li said helplessly.

At this time, the middle Gu guy spit out the strip of cloth in his mouth and shouted desperately: "Who are you? Why are you tying me up? Hurry up and let me go back, I want to donate blood for the Sect Master, I want to sacrifice everything for the Holy Sect Master... The Holy Sect Master is the red sun in our heartsβ€”" The man began to shout again.

"Child, you are our son, son, do you still recognize your father?"

"No, you are not my father, the sect leader is my father, it was the great Holy Sect Master who gave birth to me, and I will sacrifice everything for the sect master. The son muttered to himself.

"Son, you were tricked by someone, it was the damn sect leader who harmed you like this, you must not think about it again. Mother cried and persuaded.

"No, you are all demons, if you dare to be disrespectful to the sect leader, I will break your corpses into ten thousand pieces, and break your corpses into ten thousand pieces. The son looked at his parents viciously, and his fierce eyes seemed to be about to be eaten alive.

"You all don't talk to him anymore, it's useless for you to say anything, he doesn't know anything now, it's completely Gu poison controlling him. The Medicine King said.

"Then what should I do, please save my son quickly, we are so uncomfortable to see him like this. Rong Li said.

At this time, the Medicine King turned to the two apprentices and said, "Shanwen, Zhao Cheng, you two hurry up and prepare realgar, spirits, salt, garlic, mountain flowers, cloud vines, licorice, coptis, and golden gray snake venom. Also, remember to go to the southeast cliff and pick back the five-colored Linzhi that the dragon guards. ”

According to the prescription dictated by the master, Shanwen and Zhao Cheng prepared the medicinal materials one by one.

"Cita. Where did Zina Lok go?" the Medicine King looked around, but found no trace of Zina.

"Medicine King, Miss Xinle went down the mountain early in the morning to run errands, if you have any instructions for the Medicine King, you can tell me Sheng Lu Niu, and I can also help. Sheng Luniu said.

"Okay, please go and help me get two catties of pig blood and a large bag of salt. Also, find a few more big iron nails, as well as ropes, and find a dry gourd funnel to come over, I'm sorry for you. ”

"What kind of trouble are you talking about? My Sheng Lu Niu's illness was cured by you, the king of medicine, so why worry about this little thing, I'll go now." With that, Sheng Luniu turned around and went to prepare things.

"May I ask the Medicine King, can I help you in the next place?" Yi Dan on the side also asked.

"Okay, you and the old man come to the house first."

The Medicine King called Yi Dan into the house and whispered to her: "Gu worms can understand human speech, so the old man called you into the house and whispered to you that if you catch the heart Gu worms, you are afraid of the scorching sun and salt." After a while, the old man will sprinkle a circle of salt on the ground at the junction of the scorching sun and the shade, and put the capacity into the circle and leave an exit. You sprinkle a bunch of pig's blood in the salt ring on the ground in a cool place, and after the old man gives him the antidote, the Gu worms will come out of his body, and under the siege of the scorching sun and salt, they will crawl to the shade with pig blood, and when all the Gu worms crawl into the pig's blood, you will block the exit with salt, pour fire oil on it, and burn it all to death, understand?"

"Well, okay, I see. Yi Dan nodded in response.

"Okay, then when the medicine is all in place and the scorching sun is in the sky, we will act according to the plan. ”

With that, the two left the hut. (To be continued.) )
