The Ming Dynasty took an unconventional approach

The servant nodded with his head hanging.

You should have treated people like guests and served them respectfully earlier. He just offended everyone.

Didn’t you not welcome them before you got old?
As soon as Mu Ang left, Pan Yun and the others immediately turned around and looked at the bed, and Tao Yanbai and Miao He stopped.

The two men frowned and said to Pan Yun, "There are too many bugs in his body, and there are a lot of noises. It's hard to feel his pulse accurately, but his internal organs should have been eaten by the bugs. At present, we can only be sure that his heart is beating autonomously."

Tao Yanbai frowned and said, "Also, the liver and kidneys should still have some functions."

Miao He: "The only thing we can be sure of now is that the area above his neck is sealed with golden needles and energy, so these bugs can't get to his brain, otherwise he would have become a hollow shell long ago."

Pan Yun's eyes lit up: "Who is the person who sealed his head with the golden needle? Can we invite him to discuss it together?"

Miao He: "My third brother and I carefully checked it out. The golden needle is okay, but the energy attached to it is very similar to that of my second uncle."

When Pan Jun heard this, he immediately looked at Mu Lin.

Mu Lin nodded repeatedly: "I heard from my grandfather that Lord Yin, who rescued my father, used golden needles to seal several of my father's major acupuncture points, saying that this could prevent my father from completely becoming a worm's body, so that my father could choose to die on his own."

"Oh, so that's it..." Pan Jun walked to the bed and looked down at his body.

Zhang Ziming and Li Wenying pushed Wang Cong aside, standing on Pan Yun's left and right, looking inside.

Zhang Ziming asked: "You have many medical books in Sanqing Mountain, but there is no record of corpse worms?"

Pan Yun had just read a few medical books from Sanqing Mountain and couldn't answer the question.

Tao Yanbai and Miaohe had recalled the books they had read on the way here, and said: "Yes, for those who are infected with corpse worms, before they have absorbed all the blood and qi to lay eggs, you can use golden needles to the twelve meridians, with the help of Yuanli and more abundant blood and qi to draw out the corpse worms, and the patient can be saved;

During the first egg laying, when the patient has not yet exhausted his qi and blood, the corpse worms can be drawn out, and then the eggs can be killed by taking a decoction of betel nut, neem root bark, quince, and black plum. "

Everyone in the room listened attentively, and when they saw that he didn't want to continue, they urged him: "Anything else?"

Tao Yanbai said, "It only has a 30% success rate. Therefore, the medical canon only records the method of curing people after the corpse worms have laid eggs for the first time. It says that if the corpse worms in the body have begun to lay eggs for the second or even third time, the person will definitely die. In order to prevent future troubles, the best way is to burn the person and the worms together with them."

Pan Yun's eyes turned: "What if they have deep inner strength or high cultivation? They can't hold out for the second or third time?"

Tao Yanbai said: "Corpse worms feed on human Qi, blood, energy, internal force and Yuanli. The higher the cultivation level of a person, the more Qi and blood they have, the fatter and whiter the worms they raise, and the greater the damage they can do to the body."

He paused and said, "However, people with higher cultivation can indeed persist longer."

Pan Jun turned around and asked Mu Lin: "Do you have his medical records?"

Mu Lin came back to his senses after hearing this and nodded immediately: "Yes!"

Mu Xi's medical records are actually just a pile of papers.

There have been records since he was rescued by Yin Song.

The first one was written down by Yin Song.

Mu Lin called Mu Bai, the long-time attendant who had been serving Mu Xi.

Mu Bai took out a medical record and explained to them: "When Lord Yin came back, he said that the corpse worms were all over the body and he was unable to do anything. He asked us to go to Sanqing Mountain to ask his senior brother, maybe there is a glimmer of hope."

Pan Yun, Wang Cong and the other two turned their heads and looked at him.

Mu Bai was also regretting it at this time, choking with sobs, "But at that time, the Left Commander was still at the front line, and the palace was in chaos, with no one to take charge of the overall situation. We thought that Sanqing Mountain was too far away, so we first looked for doctors and wizards nearby to come to our house..."

When Mu Xi was brought back, his head had been sealed with golden needles, but he was conscious.

Although he was in great pain and his face was pale, he had no injuries on his body, so they thought it was just an ordinary poisonous insect.

When it comes to playing with poisonous insects, Yunnan can claim to be second, and no one dares to claim to be first.

The Qianguo Mansion did not dare to keep a Gu Master because of the court, but they knew exactly where capable Gu Masters were in and outside Kunming, and they could invite them.

They spent a lot of time inviting doctors and sorcerers.

Mu Bai handed a dozen pieces of paper to Pan Yun to read: "This is the pulse diagnosis at that time, and their treatment methods."

Pan Yun took it, flipped through it and asked, "Master Yin is going back to Beijing just like that?"

"No, there are many soldiers who were infected with corpse worms like the Second Master. They killed each other in the barracks. When someone died, the worms broke out of the body and looked for new hosts."

“When a bug burrows into your body, you won’t notice anything unusual on weekdays. By the time you and the people around you discover something unusual, it’s possible that even your brain has been eaten by the bug. It’s hidden quite deeply.

Once the worms break out of the body, there may be hundreds of worms coming out, which means that if one person is infected with corpse worms, it may infect a hundred people. "

Pan Yun was the first to shudder: "This is too scary. Is it in the army?"

"Yes, so Lord Yin went to the military camp to deal with the matter."

Mu Bai said, "Lord Yin and the Imperial Observatory's men and doctors saved all those who could be saved in the army. Those who could not be saved were considered dead in battle. They were asked to commit suicide by the fire pit before their brains were eaten up. Once they cut their necks, they fell into the burning fire pit, and both the people and the insects were burned to ashes."

The smiles on everyone's faces had long since disappeared, and they listened in a serious manner. "Lord Yin came back from dealing with military affairs after the Left Commander-in-Chief and General Wang returned from their great victory. This is the pulse diagnosis he wrote at that time."

Pan Yun took it and looked down. There was only one line of words on it: "It is beyond saving. Burn it as soon as possible."

When Pan Yun looked through the pulse cases later, he was much more perfunctory.

"So when my second senior brother found the man, the corpse worms in his body had already laid eggs for the first time and had grown into adults, and were in the process of laying eggs for the second time. At that time, all of his internal organs were eaten away, but the damage was not serious."

The senior brother’s cultivation was much higher than hers, and his medical skills were even more amazing. Pan Jun sighed: “If I had brought him to ask my senior brother for help, maybe he could have saved him. What a pity…”

Mu Lin asked quickly: "Is it too late to ask for help now?"

The Jinyiwei must have gone to Sanqing Mountain to look for him. God knows where he went?
Pan Jun waved his hand: "He's been bitten like this... Forget it, you can send someone to try. If you can invite someone over, at least you can give it a try."

Mu Lin asked: "What about you? Do you have any ideas?"

Pan Jun hushed him and said, "Don't worry, let me see."

Pan Yun took out the talisman he had drawn on the road and asked Mu Lin to bring a bowl of rice wine.

She pinched the yellow talisman between her fingers and waved it, and the talisman spontaneously combusted, emitting a special fragrance.

Zhang Ziming and Li Wenying turned their heads curiously and saw Pan Yun put the talisman ash into the rice wine, then stuffed it back to Mu Lin: "Stir it with chopsticks, mix it well and then give it to your father to drink."

Mu Lin held up the yellow wine and asked, "What is this for?"

"Let the bugs in his body react more slowly. I'm going to touch him later."

Pan Yun's merits were revealed, which could easily excite the insects, so they had to be given a sip of sleeping wine first.

After hearing this, Mu Lin immediately called two strong servants, and the three of them worked together to force Mu Xi to drink all the Huang Fu wine.

Pan Yun and others squatted in front of the bed waiting for the Huangfu wine to take effect.

Of course, it’s not just about waiting.

Zhang Ziming said: “Although my medical skills are average, I know the principle of treating corpse worms, which is nothing more than expelling the worms and saving lives.

Just now, Tao Yanbai also said that ordinary insects are attracted by Yuanli and Qi and blood, but I see that the corpse worms in Mu Xi’s body are no longer ordinary insects. They seem to…”

Zhang Ziming frowned, unable to find the right words.

Pan Yun added: "There is a king bug."

"King worm?" Li Wenying frowned. "I've only heard of the mother worm, but the corpse worm mother worm is dead. In order to prevent the daughter worms from reproducing and giving birth to new mother worms, the Gu Master will give them a hint when the mother worm lays eggs. The worms that are not in the same host with the mother worm will not produce mother worms."

"So this is just the king bug, very orderly," Pan Yun said, "The pulse records show that the wizards, famous monks and Taoist priests we invited later tried to lure the bugs out several times, but they were unsuccessful.

Obviously, the blood and qi of this body have reached the critical point. If they continue to stay in his body, they can only get nutrients to maintain their survival. However, they can actually withstand the attraction of the external energy and blood and do not rush out in large numbers. This shows that there are insects controlling them. This king insect has intelligence. "

Zhang Ziming shuddered.

Li Wenying's face was solemn as he said, "Isn't this what that evil sect wants?"

"A smart king insect that can understand human language and command tens of millions of insects," Li Wenying said in a deep voice, "After leaving the body, it transfers the absorbed energy, vitality and blood to the mother insect, which then feeds back to the person who feeds the mother insect. The energy-sucking insect comes from the corpse insect."

Zhang Ziming turned his head to look at Pan Yun: "A king insect with a brain, how do you lure it out?"

Pan Yun said: "It is not difficult for me to attract the insects. The difficult part is how to save his life after the insects come out."

"You want to use merit as a guide?" Zhang Ziming rolled his eyes and nodded, "This is indeed a good idea. Merit is much more attractive than Yuanli and other things."

Zhang Ziming approached her and asked, "Since it smells so good, can't your merits bring back the dead to life and turn bones into flesh?"

Pan Yun pushed his head away: "It doesn't work."

Zhang Ziming persisted: "Could it be that there is, but you don't understand? Since you are a disciple of the mountain god, you should be able to contact him with your soul, right? Otherwise, you can ask him, what if it has this effect? ​​Merit, something that gods and Buddhas are fighting for."

Pan Jun became thoughtful.

As for merit, she has always been feeling her way forward, and what Zhang Ziming said makes sense.

Go back later and pray?
She hasn't paid her respects to Master for a long time.

Miao He reminded quietly: "Uncle Junior Master, the insects seem to be quiet."

When Pan Jun heard this, he immediately came back to his senses and put his hand on his wrist. The worm under his skin did not move.

After being left there for a long time, the worms in the meridians began to move slightly.

Pan Jun was happy, rolled up her sleeves and knelt on one knee on the bed. She touched down from his neck with two fingers, pressing down little by little. The insects were awakened, and they began to wriggle wherever her fingers passed. (End of this chapter)
