Chapter 183: Wailing Worms

"The herbs needed to solve Gu are pine hair, pumpkin vine, purple-backed golden bull grass, white-flowered snake tongue grass, dandelion, honeysuckle, and licorice," Mo Yan reported twenty or thirty kinds of herbs in one breath.

"These ordinary medicines are available in the old man's shop, and you can get them immediately. Jin Laolangzhong hurried home to grab the medicine according to the prescription.

"Li Langzhong, what you said are ordinary detoxification herbs. Some people call him Langzhong, but they are all confused.

"The key to solving Gu lies in the ratio of herbs, but it varies from person to person. Mo Man was deliberately vague.

The other Lang Zhong didn't squeak when they saw that he didn't want to reveal it, and just waited to see if it really had a curative effect.

After a short time, Lieutenant Jin Laolang took all the herbs on the recipe and spread them on the table.

"Everyone, I'm sorry, this is the ancestral secret recipe of the Li family for generations, please forgive me for the inconvenience of matching it in public. Mo Yan apologized.

"With this understanding, let's all go out. Jin Lao Langzhong and the others left the hall, and Mao Gongluo walked out with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Mo Yan grabbed a few herbs and threw them into the medicine pot and began to boil, turning his head to look out the window, Lang Zhong was very professional ethics, and they were all standing far away from the courtyard, only the Mao master was pacing back and forth, as if he was restless.

After the medicine was decocted, Mo Yan poured it into the bowl, walked into Li Yuantong's room, and quietly put the jade nails into the bowl, and the soul dementor could clearly see a trace of aura melted into the medicine liquid.

He looked at the door for a while, and made sure that no one was peeping, so he took the bowl and poured it into Li Yuantong, and after a while, Li Yuantong woke up and opened his eyes.

"You're back. He said in surprise.

"Shhhh Mo Yan whispered a few words to him.

"I see. Li Yuantong nodded.

The Lang Zhong people outside the door of the small courtyard waited anxiously for the news in the house, and finally saw Mo Yan panting out of breath and said, "The medicinal power and ancestral massage technique have forced the Gu poison out, you can come in." ”

Everyone walked into the hall and was surprised to see Li Yuantong sitting on a chair drinking tea, and shouted: "This official is hungry, but do you have anything to eat?"

Jin Laolang grabbed Mo Yan's hand excitedly, and burst into tears in an instant: "It's really God's favor, so that the old man met you today." ”

All the Langzhong were also smiling, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and they no longer had to worry about being punished if they couldn't cure Lord Liu, only Mao Gongluo's face was cloudy.

"Brother Li, hurry up and heal Lord Liu. Jin Lao Langzhong urged.

Mo Yan shook his head and said, "The Li family's ancestral massage technique consumes a lot of energy, and only one person can be treated, Master Liu has to wait for tomorrow, and I have to go back to rest now." ”

"Li Langzhong, sure enough, the medical skills are exquisite, you can stay in the Guoyi Pavilion for a few days for the time being, and then leave when Lord Liu is healed. Mao Gongluo said with a smile.

"No, it will cost a lot of money. Mo Yan waved his hand.

"You don't have to pay a penny, and if you heal Lord Liu, the governor will have a reward. ”

"Really?"

"Brother Li, rest assured, if Master Mao says it, there will definitely be a reward. Jin Laolangzhong said earnestly.

"Yes, thank you Lang Zhong for saving Li, please stay for two days and heal Lord Liu before leaving." Li Yuantong also persuaded on the side.

"Well, as long as you don't spend any money. Mo Yan agreed.

Mao Gongluo led Mo Yan to a hidden courtyard next to the rockery of the National Post House, surrounded by camellia bushes, and the facilities in the room were all available, and they were very comfortable and luxurious.

"You can live here, and someone will bring you three meals a day, and you don't have to pay for anything you want to eat. ”

"Then dare to be kind, you can really eat whatever you want?" Mo Yan asked in disbelief.

"It's true," Mao Gongluo said, "You just cured Guard Li, did you say what kind of disease he had?"

Mo Yan shook his head: "I just came to help Jin Lao Langzhong by the way, the patient didn't ask, and I didn't say anything." ”

"These Lang Zhong in Kunming City can't see what kind of disease they are suffering from, if you talk about it, you will ruin their reputation, this is a big taboo. ”

"Don't worry, I'm too lazy to say it. ”

"That's right, as long as you don't talk much, Ming Hou will give you a big reward, if you talk nonsense about Gu poison and the like, not only will you not be able to get a child, but you will also be guilty. Mao Gong said viciously.

"How much reward can there be?" Mo Mo looked at him greedily.

"Two hundred taels of silver. ”

"Wow, that's a fortune. Mo Yan exclaimed excitedly.

After Mao Gongluo settled down, he hurried to the governor's mansion on Yongdao Street and saw the governor Li Shiyao in the study.

"My lord, everything was going smoothly according to plan, Liu Yong would die in no more than seven days, but today suddenly a Lang Zhong came and easily explained the cause and cracked the 'wild fox snot' of the mourning worm, and now Li Guard has come to his senses. He said that only one person could be treated, so Liu Yong would have to wait until tomorrow to start treatment. In addition, the humble position had already warned this Lang Zhong not to mention the matter of Zhong Gu, so Li Guard still didn't know what disease he was suffering from. Mao Gongluo told the story one by one.

Li Shuyao pondered for a while when he heard this, and said reproachfully: "Mao Gong, Liu Yong's submission for being seriously ill has been sent to the capital, and there must be no errand in this matter, didn't you say that there is no one to solve the poisonous Gu of the Mourning Worm?"

"Yes, according to the Ailao Worm Lady herself, the 'Wild Fox Snot' is secretly made from the essence juice of the praying mantis insects bred in Ailao Mountain in midsummer, which is colorless and tasteless, and there is no second person in the world who can solve this Gu except her. ”

"If this is really the case, this new Lang Zhong may have something to do with this old woman, you have to find out the origin of this person immediately, and get rid of him as soon as possible before he unravels Liu Yong's Gu, you must do it neatly. ”

"Humble duty understands. Mao Gong left the Governor's Mansion and returned to the State Post House, and walked alone through a lotus pond, where there was a very secret hut under the shade of greenery close to the backyard wall, and it was impossible to find it until he approached.

Two men dressed up flashed from behind the tree and saluted Mao Gong, he waved his hand, and the two immediately hid again.

"Mourning worm, Mao Gong asks to see you. He cleared his throat and said.

"Come in. An old woman's voice came from inside the room.

Mao Gong stepped into the house and smelled a strong smell of tobacco, an old woman with a meaty face was sitting on the bed smoking, and a faint wisp of green smoke was rising from the rattan copper cigarette pouch pot.

Mao Gong choked his nose slightly and said, "Worm, you said that no one can solve the 'wild fox snot' except you. ”

"That's nature, what's wrong?" replied the Mourning Worm.

"Today, there is a young man who easily cracked the poison Gu. ”

"Hmph, that's absolutely impossible. ”

"That's the truth, that Li guard has recovered after taking the antidote. ”

"What kind of antidote?" the mourning insect stared at Mao Gongluo with suspicion.

"Fang Zi has already brought, please take a look. Mao Gong handed over a piece of paper.

"Hahaha, it's a joke," the mourning worm looked at her and then laughed wildly, and the flesh on her face was shaking, "Pine hair, pumpkin vine, purple-backed golden bullgrass, white-flowered snake tongue grass, dandelion, honeysuckle, and licorice or something, just think about cracking the 'wild fox snot', go dream." Mao Gong, are you looking for an old woman to be happy?"

Mao Gong's face was calm, and he said coldly: "If you don't believe it, you can go and see it yourself." ”

The mourning worm stopped laughing, and her face became serious: "What you said is true?"

Mao Gong nodded slightly: "If no one else in the world can crack this Gu, then this young Lang Zhong may have something to do with you, think about it, can there be such a person around?"

"The old woman never accepts male disciples, and there has never been a man around her. ”

"Could it be a female disciple's lover or something. ”

"The old woman once took in two female disciples, but they have been dead for many years. ”

"Oh, that's right, if this person really has nothing to do with you, then his Gu solving skills are unique in the world. Mao Gong thought slightly.

"Where is this man now? The old woman is going to meet him tonight. The mourning worm said coldly.

"It's in the National Post House, and someone will take you there after dark. Mao Gong left the hut with a few words.

The small courtyard where Mo Yan lives is very clean, the camellia buds are waiting to be released, and in the evening, Li Yuantong brought a food box and a jar of wine, and the two chatted while drinking in the house.

"Mo Remnant, why don't you heal Lord Liu today?" Li Yuantong asked puzzled.

"This is done to lure out the people who are under the Gu, if it is clear that Lord Liu's Gu poison can be cured, then someone will definitely come here tonight to find me. ”

"Isn't this dangerous? In this way, Brother Li will come to accompany you after nightfall. ”

"No, that will alert the other party, and it will be difficult to deal with sudden changes at that time. ”

"That's right, besides, with your martial arts, you should be fine, but you still have to be more careful. Li Yuantong admonished.

When it got dark, Li Yuantong packed up the food box and took it away.

Mo Yan sat in the house and waited for the arrival of the uninvited guest, his thoughts were not wrong, since someone had given Liu Yong a Gu, he would inevitably have to prevent himself from solving the Gu for him tomorrow, so he would definitely come tonight.

In fact, Liu Yong's death of illness was beneficial to him, but he saved a lot of trouble, but for some reason, he finally decided to come to the rescue, is it because he is a Qing official loved by the people? What does it have to do with good officials and bad officials, he has to repay the debts owed to the Xu family, and he must find an opportunity to explain to him face to face, and he can't let him die so casually.

Looking back on the changes in the past year, it is simply dizzying, Burma, Siam, Ryukyu, Dongying and the capital have walked a long way, and for the first time I know my mother's life experience, and I have also done what the descendants of the Xu family should do. Master Jin Danzi finally returned to the Yang world, and he very much hoped that he and his master could go to the spirit world together, but after experiencing this life and death separation, he seemed to be a completely changed person, and he wanted to live a plain and peaceful life with Yin'er.

I have been practicing for several years, but I haven't made much progress, but fortunately I found a shortcut, which is to sneak directly into the spiritual world by cracking the key and taking the spiritual passage. There must be a passage on the Jade Bureau Peak, and the key is the "deathbed verse" of the old monk, which is funny, and the words that people have been thinking about for a hundred years have actually made the Qinglou woman break a word. After returning to the capital, he must find Wukongxun as soon as possible, learn that tune, and strive to go to the spiritual world when the "Wangfuyun" logo appears again in Yuju Peak next winter. But what about my father's mother? It would be too risky to take them with me.

When Mo Yan was thinking nonsense, he vaguely heard footsteps coming from the courtyard. (To be continued.) )
