Chaos in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 167 Poisoning
The old man asked: "You just said that your name is Guan Ziyang, right? I don't know where you are going, why did you come here?"

Guan Ziyang thought to himself, he couldn't say that he was wanted by the government in Xuelian Town, and he didn't dare to pass by Xuelian Town, and explained: "I came from Jiuquan County and wanted to go to Longbian County, but I lost my way."

The old man ate his mouthful, chewed and said, "Then you have to go astray, you have to go to Xuelian Town first, and take the Xuegu promenade, that is the official road, you have taken a wrong turn. thousands of miles."

Guan Ziyang pretended to be surprised: "Have I strayed so far?"

The old man tore off another large piece of meat: "But how did you find this place?"

Guan Ziyang told him about being led here by a red snow fox.

The old man nodded: "So it was lured by the old woman's red fox."

After speaking, he suddenly stopped chewing the meat, and said vaguely: "Young man... you... what kind of meat are you?"

Guan Ziyang was also taken aback by the question: "It's the red fox who led me here, what's the matter?"

The old man suddenly got excited, and quickly dropped the head in his hand, and remembered that he had chewed a large piece in his mouth, so he quickly spit it out, loudly: "It's over, it's over, it's over!"

Guan Ziyang was puzzled: "What's the matter? Isn't it delicious?"

The old man stood up and looked at him: "You have caused a catastrophe, before the old woman finds out, you run, run."

After speaking, he pulled Guan Ziyang up and left.

Guan Ziyang was pulled to stand up, and said while walking: "Senior, what's the matter, who is the old woman?"

The old man didn't stop, he pulled Guan Ziyang to continue walking in the direction of the crack in the stone: "The old woman is the owner of this red fox, she treats the red fox like her own daughter, if you don't leave, you will die!"

Guan Ziyang knew that he had caused trouble and killed someone who belonged to him. He was about to apologize to the old man when he suddenly felt the world spinning and passed out.

When Guan Ziyang woke up, he found that he was lying on the bed, his upper body was naked, and his body was full of silver needles.

"You're awake." It was the old man who spoke.He walked over and pulled out all the silver needles on Guan Ziyang's body one by one.

Guan Ziyang felt dizzy and asked the old man, "Senior, what's wrong with me?"

The old man sighed: "Did you get bitten by that red fox?"

"Yes".

"Do you know why this snow fox is red?"
"do not know".

"Actually, this snow fox was indeed white when he was a child, but he grew up eating the old woman's poison.

Later, it gradually turned red, and its saliva and blood can be said to be the most poisonous things in the world. If you are bitten by it, and the saliva enters your blood, I can't save you."

Guan Ziyang's heart turned cold and he cried: "Ah? Senior, am I going to die then? I don't want to die yet!"

The old man changed the subject again: "Don't cry, I can't save you, but the old woman may not be able to, but you ate her red fox, I can't guarantee that she will save you."

Guan Ziyang hurriedly said: "Senior, I didn't even eat a bite. Before I finished, you were going to pull me away. You were the one who ate it!"

The old man suddenly looked embarrassed, and whispered to Guan Ziyang: "Little brother, how about we make a deal?"

Guan Ziyang said: "Senior, just tell me."

The old man leaned close to Guan Ziyang's ear: "When the old lady comes back later, as long as you don't reveal that I have eaten meat, I promise to let the old lady save you!"

Guan Ziyang hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I'll keep my mouth shut, I ate the red fox all by myself!"

The old man nodded in satisfaction, and continued: "I just used golden needle hanging medicine to help you temporarily suppress the toxicity, and the old lady went to take care of her medicine garden.

When you come back later, you say that I saved you after you fainted, but the red fox ran away after biting you, don't say that you killed it. "

The two finished their statements, and half an hour later, an old lady also walked into the house.

I saw the old lady with white hair and childlike face, with a beautiful appearance, wearing a blue cloth floral dress, and a golden hairpin on her head. It is not difficult to guess that she must have been an all-powerful beauty when she was young.

The two told the good confession to the old lady, and the old lady waved her hands after hearing it: "Don't worry, little boy, your poison is easy to cure."

The old man wondered: "Didn't you once say that the red fox's saliva and blood are the most poisonous things in the world? Didn't you already prepare the antidote?"

The old woman smiled: "I grew up feeding it my poison, of course it's the most poisonous, but it's easy to cure it, haven't you been bitten by a red fox?
When the red fox comes back later, I will put some of its blood, you can drink it, fight the poison with the poison, and you will be cured tomorrow. "

After listening to the old woman's words, the old man Guan Ziyang met his eyes, with a look of lovelessness!

The red fox had been eaten long ago, and when Guan Ziyang was handling the red fox meat, all the blood flowed into the creek and disappeared!
Guan Ziyang bite the bullet: "Grandma, I... I'll tell you something, don't be angry..."

It was getting dark, Guan Ziyang was sitting in the yard outside the bamboo house, thinking that he was poisoned to death by a snow fox, his heart was full of sadness.

Before the Northern Expedition was completed, I also promised the little bamboo tube to take care of the little bamboo pole and the little bamboo leaves. So many responsibilities were on my shoulders.

He hasn't finished any of them, how can he face them under the nine springs!My heart is full of sadness and helplessness.

At this moment, the old man came out of the bamboo house, and he patted Guan Ziyang on the shoulder: "Little brother, you are still very loyal! Tell me what last wish you have..."

The old man chatted with Guan Ziyang outside the house.

The old man's name is Yi Buhuo, who was a well-known miraculous doctor 50 years ago, and the old woman's name is Du Bushi, a saint of voodoo.

Back then, the two met each other in the rivers and lakes, and they fell in love with each other, but the voodoo saints were not allowed to marry for life.

The two eloped desperately, but they were also hunted down by the voodoo sect. The two were not very good at martial arts, but fortunately, they had saved the lives of many aristocratic families.

So I have a very good relationship with many aristocratic families.

Among them, a very famous person saved the two of them. The leader of the voodoo sect also sold that person's face and let them go. However, their saint is not allowed to see anyone again. The two of them must disappear in Jin Kingdom .

So the two traveled through mountains and rivers to find this hot spring valley in the snow-capped mountains, and they lived here for 50 years.

Guan Ziyang asked the old man why he couldn't tell the old woman about eating meat.

The old man said helplessly: "People in voodoo are all vegetarians, and the old woman has always maintained this habit, and she still doesn't allow me to eat meat. Last time I secretly roasted a bird, and the old woman found out. He spent a whole year You didn't talk to me, but it suffocated me!"

Guan Ziyang laughed and said, "No wonder when you eat red fox, it's like you haven't eaten meat for decades. It turns out that you haven't eaten meat for decades, hahaha..."

Guan Ziyang also told Yi Buhuo his story from childhood to adulthood, and Yi Buhuo sighed repeatedly: "In the rivers and lakes, there are all miserable people!"

But when Guan Ziyang talked about the Twelve Heavenly Monarchs, he knew a little bit about the inability of doctors to survive.

Yi Buhuo said: "When I was practicing medicine with my master, there was a person wearing a black mouse mask who came to seek medical treatment from my master, although that person never took off the mask from the beginning to the end.

However, the master seemed to know him and who he was. He suffered a serious internal injury. The master performed acupuncture on him for seven days and seven nights to save his life. After he recovered from his injuries, he left.

I asked the master later, and the master said to me to remember, don't worry about anything related to people wearing zodiac masks, and don't inquire about it.

I was very curious at that time, and I asked the master again and again, and said that since the founding of the Kingdom of China, masks have been circulating, and it has been more than 100 years now, and they represent an identity.

Obtaining a mask represents the rise of a huge family in Shenzhou, and of course one has to bear the responsibilities brought about by the mask. The mask represents a person, but it also represents the fate of the entire family.

Then he looked at Guan Ziyang and said, "It's impossible for you alone to find the Twelve Heavenly Lords, let alone revenge. I just saw that you were dying, otherwise I wouldn't break my promise to Master, and treat you Say these things."

Before they knew it, it was already dawn again, and the two chatted all night.

Yi Buhuo said: "The only red fox that can save you was killed by yourself. You can't blame me. After you die, I will bury you in this hot spring valley. This valley is like spring all the year round, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. , can also be regarded as a fairyland on earth. You can rest assured."

Guan Ziyang knew that he would not live for a few days, but his heart calmed down, and he nodded: "Then, thank you, senior, for not being able to survive."

At this time, Du Bushi came out from the house: "Don't thank him, it's not certain whether you will die or not!"

Du Bushi was very angry that Guan Ziyang killed his red fox, and drove him out of the house to let him fend for himself.

She and the doctor have been researching medicine for a lifetime, and the doctor is good at using medicine, and she is good at poison.

At the beginning, they wanted to treat the infertility of the two of them. They also carefully opened a medicine garden and planted a lot of medicinal materials. However, after decades, they still have no children.Now that the two are in their twilight years, Guan Ziyang's arrival gave him a new understanding of life.

In addition, after hearing about Guan Ziyang's tragic past last night, she felt pity again. She thought about how to save Guan Ziyang all night.

Doctor Buhuo excitedly said: "Old lady, do you have other ways to save him?"

"I don't know if it will work, so let's give it a try!" Du Bushi said.

Guan Ziyang was also very happy when he heard that he still had a chance to live: "Thank you poisonous mother-in-law for saving my life!"

"Don't thank me in a hurry, I don't know if this method will work, it won't be too late to thank me after you survive!" Du Bushi said.

Doctor Buhuo asked: "Since you, red fox, stole the Zhuming fruit from your medicine garden five years ago, you have been saving it by fighting poison with poison. In the past five years, it has eaten no less than a hundred kinds of the most poisonous in the world. , is there any poison that can match the poison of your red fox to fight poison with poison?"

Du Bushi folded his hands: "There is no poison that can rival the poison of the red fox, can't we breed another poison?"

Hearing this slap on the thigh, Yi Buhuo said pleasantly, "Yes, we can feed Guan Ziyang the poison that the red fox grew up eating, and grow another poison in his body that can rival the red fox poison. OK?

Every time he took a new poison, another poison was formed in his body, and my golden needle hanging medicine would work again. "

Then Yi Buhuo sighed again: "But there is one more thing, the red fox has been taking poison for five years, what poison did the red fox eat first, and what poison did it eat next? Poison, do you remember?"

Du Bushi smiled: "That's why I'm better at poisoning you than you are at healing! Every time I make poison for the red fox, I record it!"

Hearing what Poison Bushi said, Doctor Buhuo laughed and said, "You're the best old lady, hahaha."

Guan Ziyang listened to the conversation between the two old men and old ladies with a dazed look on his face, but the general idea was that he could understand, that is, he didn't have to die!
The treatment started, the first poison was Zhu Mingguo, this fruit Xiaoxuehu might kill it if he ate it.

But people who eat this fruit will only have diarrhea. It is a kind of medicine for treating diarrhea. It was because Xiaoxuehu stole this fruit back then, and he was very angry if the poison did not kill him, but he couldn't bear to watch Xiaoxuehu die. Another mild poison - Wuchongsan.

He used poison to fight poison to save Xiaoxuehu, but Wudu San was more poisonous than Zhu Mingguo, and he had to use another poison to cure him if he couldn't die, and it continued like this until a few months ago.

After the snow fox ate hundreds of poisons, the toxicity in its body finally reached a balance point, and it was considered alive.

After Guan Ziyang ate Zhu Mingguo, he started to have a stomachache, which made his legs tremble and his mind lost consciousness!

Guan Ziyang felt really uncomfortable, and begged for the poison to survive: "Grandma Poison, quickly give me the second poison, I'm about to die!"

The poisonous mother-in-law just shook her head: "It's not enough now, we have to let the poisonousness fully play out, and wait until tomorrow."

So Guan Ziyang didn't fall asleep all night, and stayed in the hut all night!
He finally survived until the second day, but Du Bushi told him that he still couldn't do it, and he had to wait for the doctor to use its golden needle hanging medicine to stabilize the new poison formed by the red fox poison and Zhu Mingguo.

The Golden Needle Suspending Medicine was hard to find in Jianghu back then. First of all, the medicinal materials were extremely hard to find, and thirdly, even if you collected the medicinal materials, there were very few people in the Jianghu who knew how to use Golden Needle.

Fortunately, Doctor Buhuo and Du Bushi have spent half their lives planting medicine in this hot spring valley, and there is no shortage of medicine here, and this Golden Needle Technique.

It was originally taught by doctors.The golden needle suspending medicine needs to soak the golden needle in the suspending medicine for two hours, and then the surgeon will pierce the medicine into the acupoints through acupuncture.

Guan Ziyang still had stomach problems after getting the needles. He had no choice but to run to the latrine with his body covered in needles!
After taking Wuchongsan, the second medicine of Dubushi, the stomach finally stopped.

But there is a new problem, he is blind!He went through another round of treatment, waited for Wuchongsan to take effect, and then asked Doctor Buhuo to give him an injection. Finally, Du Bushi gave him new medicine, and his eyesight recovered.

In this way, Guan Ziyang had to take a new kind of poison every once in a while. What he feared most every day was what kind of new pain the new poison would bring him, and each time it would be accompanied by the inability of the doctor to survive. Needle pricks!

Du Bushi still thinks that he eats dry food every day, and Guan Ziyang still needs to serve as free labor for the two old people, helping them take care of the medicine garden every day, so he admits that, after all, all the medicines that can save him are in this medicine garden.
