Chapter 182: Nameless Gu
Jin Danzi and Yin'er got married, and Yindan Cave was their new house, and the two finally came together after decades of bitter love.
"Master, if one day you crack the key, you and my wife will go to the spirit world with me. Mo Yan said.
Jin Danzi shook his head and said, "No need, Mo Yan, with your current martial arts, you may not be able to protect yourself when you go to the spirit realm, and it is even more risky to be dragged down by us." Your sister and I will stay under this Tianzhu Peak and depend on each other, and after decades of dull words, this is owed to Yin'er. ”
"I see. Seeing Jin Danzi's satisfied demeanor, Mo Yan only silently blessed them in his heart.
After a few days, Mo Yan decided to return to Kunming, the matter of the Xu family is not over, Liu Yong must pay the price for the behavior of the year, Lai Bu is tired of staying on Jizu Mountain, so he packed up and went down the mountain with him, anyway, he is used to wandering for his family alone.
The little mountain ghost was reluctant to give up, and Mo Yan told him to wait on the mountain, and he would rush back as soon as he was done.
The two rode all the way to Kunming, and after arriving, they first found a nearby inn to stay, and then walked with Lai Bu to the vicinity of the National Post House.
There are heavy guards in front of the post house, outsiders are not allowed to approach, and after waiting for a long time, Li Yuantong is not seen, it seems that he only went over the wall at night.
It was dark, and at the end of the day, Mo Yan slipped out of the inn and went around the back wall of the post house, quietly climbed in, and went straight to the "Tianzi No. 1 Courtyard" where Liu Yong lived. There were also several soldiers guarding the gate of the courtyard, who sneaked into the hall from the side over the low wall, and came to the door of Li Yuantong's room in the dark, and heard a slight abnormal noise in the room.
Mo Yan put his ear on the door, and vaguely heard a "squeaky rattle" sound, and couldn't help but feel strange, this Li Yuantong has always slept quietly, and he has never even snored. He gently pushed the door open, and found that it was hidden, so he dodged into the house.
The cool moonlight shone on the bed through the window lattice, Li Yuantong slept soundly under the quilt, his upper and lower lips kept moving, making a "squeak" goosebump-making grinding sound, and then salivating from the corners of his mouth, and the quilt was already wet.
Seeing this, Mo Yan shook his head, he had never seen him so sloppy before, "Hey, wake up." He gave him a few nudges.
Li Yuantong didn't react, the vigilant surname was completely gone, Mo Yan didn't wake up when he pushed hard, and he didn't smell any wine, he felt that something was wrong. When I went out to Liu Yong's room, there was a scholar sleeping outside, who was also grinding his teeth and drooling, and when he entered the room, he could hear Liu Yong's teeth grinding happily in the tent, and he couldn't wake up either.
If you are sick, there is no possibility that you will not wake up, it seems that you are evil.
At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and a few people pushed the door with lanterns and walked in, and Mo Yan hurriedly got under Liu Yong's bed.
"It's time to give them medicine to Lord Liu. Someone said.
Mo Yan smelled a smell of herbal soup in his nose, someone picked up Liu Yong and poured medicine into his mouth, and said in his mouth: "It's really strange, the pulse is not special, I've taken several medicines, why is Lord Liu still unconscious?"
Another person said: "Three people suffer from this strange disease at the same time, probably caused by the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, the Governor has ordered to treat Lord Liu with all his might, if there is a bad pool, we are asked, how is this good." ”
"Alas, it can only be fate, in short, a few of us will try our best to save it, if it can't be cured in the end, there is no way, let's come back tomorrow. ”
After feeding the medicine, a few people then filled the scholar with medicine, and finally went to Li Yuantong's room, and left after a while.
Mo Yan came out from under the bed, quietly jumped out of the courtyard, turned over to the wall of the post house, and then hid in the dark and quietly observed. After a short time, the people who looked like Lang Zhong came out of the door of the post house, greeted each other and left.
Mo Yan stared at one of them and quietly followed them.
The man walked down a street, stopped at a drugstore, knocked on the door, and the light was lit, and then a woman let him in and re-latched the door, and then the oil lamp went out again.
Mo Yan walked over and glanced at the signboard on the lintel, which read "Jisheng Pharmacy". He walked back to the inn, where Raib was sitting under the lamp reading a book.
"How is it, have you met Lord Liu?" asked Raib.
Mo Yan recounted what he had seen.
"You said that Lord Liu was ordered to investigate the corruption case of Li Shiyao, it is said that this governor of Yunnan and Guizhou has eyes and hands, and he was also deeply favored by the emperor back then, and there are many eyes and ears in the capital. Lai estimated that your attack on Ankang Road should be related to Li Shiyao, if the assassination is completed, the place where the incident occurred in Sichuan is not his responsibility, if once he enters the territory of Yunnan, he will be responsible for protection. Having said that, if Liu Yong dies of illness, it has nothing to do with Li Shiyao, and he has been trying his best to heal him, people's life, old age, sickness and death are doomed, and the court cannot be held accountable. Raib analyzed.
"I see that their symptoms are very strange, grinding their teeth and salivating, as if they have been poisoned by some kind of Gu poison. Mo Yan said.
"Do you know what kind of Gu it is, do you have a cure?"
Mo Yan didn't say anything, it's easy to treat Gu poison, you can use Ni's jade nails, but this time it's an opportunity, Liu Yong is sick and dead, and he doesn't have to be responsible, but he put Li Yuantong in.
"Sleep. "Mo Yan blew out the lights, whatever, let's talk about it tomorrow depending on the situation.
The next time, Mo Yan had breakfast, and a person slipped to the front of the "Jisheng Medicine Shop", the door of the store was open, and the Lang Zhong who was sitting in the hall last night was already sitting in the hall to diagnose the patient, this person was about fifty years old, and his face was kind.
Mo Yan pushed the door and walked in.
"Is this little brother going to see a disease?" the old man looked at Mo Yan suspiciously, not looking like he was sick.
"No, I first came here, and I was going to open a small pharmacy in Kunming, and I wanted to inquire about the transfer of storefront houses nearby. Mo replied.
"Well, in a few days there will be. The man sighed.
"Oh, which one?"
"This is the drugstore. ”
"Aren't you going to drive it down?"
"To tell you the truth, if a patient is not cured, the old man may no longer be able to sit here, so the only way to sell the pharmacy is to have a little money for the family. ”
"You keep laughing, where is there a matter of closing the pharmacy if you can't cure the disease?"
Lao Langzhong shook his head, not wanting to say any more.
Mo Yan said: "What kind of disease are you talking about, maybe you can find a cure after you discuss it." ”
Lao Langzhong looked at Mo Yan, and only after a while did he speak: "The patient is always unconscious, his mouth is constantly drooling, the pulse of the three levels is very normal, and the cause is unknown, but if it goes on like this, it will last for ten days and half a month at most." ”
"I've seen this condition, is it that the patient still grinds his teeth hard?"
"Yes, have you ever seen this kind of case?" said the old man, looking at him eagerly.
"Of course it's cured. Mo replied nonchalantly.
"Please sit down," the old man hurriedly got up and gave up his seat, and shouted in his mouth, "Son, hurry up and make tea." ”
An old woman walked out of the house and silently made tea for Mo Yan, and then returned to the back room.
"What kind of disease is this, and how can it be cured?" asked Lao Langzhong impatiently.
Mo Yan took a sip of tea, put down the cup and said, "It's a Gu, as long as you solve it, it's fine." ”
"Zhong Gu?" Lao Lang was stunned for a moment, and muttered in his mouth, "It turned out to be Zhong Gu, no wonder the medicine is beyond its reach." ”
Mo Mo looked at him silently.
"Little brother, what is the name of this Gu, how to solve it, can you tell me. ”
"The name of this Gu is unknown, and the Gu needs to look at each person's specific symptoms, and it can't be generalized. "Mo Yan deliberately sold off.
Lao Langzhong nodded, thought for a moment and said, "In this way, how about the little brother go with the old man and go to see the patient on the spot?"
"Absolutely. Mo Yan readily agreed.
"Old man Jin Jisheng, what do you call your little brother?" the old man introduced himself.
"Under Li Suizhi. Mo Yan still borrowed the name of the prefect of Dali.
The two came to the door of the National Post House in Chenshi, and several other Lang Zhong had also arrived, Jin Lao Lang Zhong introduced Mo Ran's situation to them, and everyone was surprised, and then took Mo Quan into the post house and came to the "Tianzi No. 1" courtyard.
"You're all here, hey, who is this person?" sat a middle-aged man in a gray robe in the hall, with a clear figure, and his gloomy eyes were fixed on Mo Yan's body.
"His name is Li Suizhi, and he is also a Langzhong, and he happened to have treated patients with the same symptoms before, so he brought him to the consultation with him," Jin Lao Langzhong said, "This is Lord Mao from the Governor's Mansion." ”
"I've seen Master Mao. Mo Yan arched his hand.
"Have you encountered this kind of case before?" Mao Gong looked at him suspiciously.
"I just listened to Jin Laolang introduce the patient's symptoms, and I haven't seen it in person, so I don't know if it's the same. ”
"Let's go to Guard Li's room first. Mao Gongluo commanded.
Li Yuantong was still unconscious with his eyes closed as last night, his two lips twitched from time to time, his teeth intertwined and made a "squeaky and rattling" sound, and saliva slowly flowed down.
Mo Yan stretched out his hand to cut the three levels on his wrist, and sure enough, there was no abnormality in the pulse.
"How is it?" Jin Laolang looked at him eagerly.
"Yes, this is indeed Gu poison. Mo Yan said.
"You said it's Gu poison, what is the basis?" Mao Gongluo stood behind him at some point.
"Anyone with an illness that is beyond the ordinary, and the power of the medicine is beyond its reach, should be suspected of the possibility of being hit by the Gu, although it is not known which one it is, but the Gu poison is undoubted. Mo replied.
"Are you so sure? You can't talk about it without being completely sure, if you make a mistake and kill Lord Liu Yong's life, you have to be responsible. Mao Gongluo warned.
"Of course it is for sure, but it is also necessary to know some of the conditions when the patient is in Gu, such as what he ate before the onset of the disease, what kind of objects he has been exposed to, and what he is doing, etc., the more detailed it is, the more helpful it is to configure the antidote. ”
"In that case, let's give him a briefing. Mao Gongluo commanded.
Jin Lao Langzhong then told him some of the circumstances he knew about Liu Yong and the three before they became ill.
"The three of them were tricked in the tea, and they should be in this room. Mo Yan said affirmatively.
