Lin Chen approached with a strange cry, his eyes first on Zhou Chen, then on Lin Shu, marveling at him as if he was looking at some rare species.

Taoist Lin asked: "It turns out to be the Fire and Cold Poison as well. Who is this young friend?"

Wei Zheng immediately replied: "This is Achen, Zhou Chen."

After hearing this, Lin Chen pondered, "Like the young commander of the Red Flame Army, he was also infected with the Fire and Cold Poison. It seems that he also experienced the battle of Meiling. Zhou Chen, the surname Zhou, could it be the young Wucheng Hou Zhou Chen from Daliang?"

Wei Zheng said: "That's right."

Taoist Lin suddenly sighed heavily and said, "As expected, they are all sons of my old friends. Brother Lin and Brother Zhou are both old acquaintances of mine. They are both rare heroes in the world. It's a pity, alas..."

Zhou Chen was very surprised to hear that Taoist Lin actually knew his father in this world. However, when he thought that Zhou Kuang was also a genius who was not much inferior to Lin Xie when he was young, he was not so surprised.

"You have been poisoned by the fire and cold poison. Not only do you have to suffer unspeakable pain every day, but you also have to drink blood to calm down when the poison attacks. You are also covered in white hair and cannot speak. It seems that you two have suffered a lot recently."

He could see that Lin Shu and Zhou Chen were only eighteen or nineteen years old, and it was really not easy for them to withstand the fire and cold poison.

Wei Zheng and the others knelt down in front of Lin Daoren and begged, "Master Lin, please save the young commander and Achen."

Although Lin Shu did not say anything, he stared at Taoist Lin. Taoist Lin was now their last hope.

Zhou Chen is better than Lin Shu. He knows that Taoist Lin has a way. In the plot, Taoist Lin helped Mei Changsu, so I believe he will not be surprised now.

Taoist Lin sighed, "The Fire and Cold Poison is the most bizarre poison in the world. It is not that easy to detoxify it."

Lin Shu took a step forward and opened his mouth to make noises, but he couldn't utter normal words and was very excited.

Taoist Lin suddenly put his hand on Lin Shu's shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, kid. I will help you."

Lin Shu, who was extremely emotional, actually calmed down.

Chapter 809: Detoxification, one year later

Led by Lin Daoren and Lin Chen, the group came to the courtyard where Lin Daoren lived.

Taoist Lin asked Zhou Chen and Lin Shu to sit down and felt their pulses respectively. During this process, no one dared to make a sound. Only Lin Chen was staring at Zhou Chen and Lin Shu with interest.

Now Lin Chen is not the Pavilion Master in charge of Langya Pavilion in the TV series. He is just a teenager who has not yet set out on the road. He is about twenty years old, at the age when his personality is lively. In addition, he is an optimistic and curious person, so he is very interested in the hairy appearance of Zhou Chen and Lin Shu.

After a while, Taoist Lin let go of Zhou Chen and Lin Shu's hands and sighed softly.

"It is indeed the Fire and Cold Poison, and the degree of poisoning of both of you is very serious, especially you, Little Friend Zhou, you are more seriously poisoned than Little Friend Lin."

Hearing this, Lin Shu's expression suddenly changed and he looked at Zhou Chen nervously.

Zhou Chen was very calm. He was not surprised by this because he was the one who crushed the snow scale insects on Lin Shu's body. It was normal for more cold air to enter his body.

Zhou Chen and Lin Shu were both unable to speak, so Wei Zheng had to speak for them.

"Master Lin, you are knowledgeable. Since you know about the fire and cold poison, you must know how to detoxify it. Please save the young commander and Achen."

Taoist Lin nodded and said, "You are all sons of old friends. Brother Lin and I are even strangers. Now that Brother Lin is in trouble and his children come to me, I will definitely not stand idly by, but..."

Wei Zheng was very happy to hear the previous words, but Lin Daoren suddenly made a sharp turn, which immediately made him anxious: "Just what?"

Taoist Lin sighed, "After all, the Fire and Cold Poison is the most bizarre poison in the world. This poison is very special and different from ordinary poisons. It is overbearing and difficult to cure. It is even more difficult to completely eradicate it. I know the method of detoxification, but this method of detoxification may be a little different from what you think. You two should be mentally prepared."

The last sentence was directed to Zhou Chen and Lin Shu.

Lin Shu had a firm expression and was not frightened by Lin Daoren's words; as for Zhou Chen, he already knew the two solutions to the fire and cold poison, so he would not be frightened.

Wei Zheng and the others couldn't help but get nervous: "Master Lin, can you tell me in detail?"

Taoist Lin said: "The Fire and Cold Poison has always been known as the most bizarre poison in the world, but in fact, not many people in the world know about it. Its bizarreness lies in that it can save lives, but it can also kill people, and it can even put people in hellish torture."

"Friends Lin and Zhou should have been burned all over their bodies in the battle at Meiling, and the fire poison attacked their hearts. With that level of fire poison, there should have been no chance of survival. However, you should have fallen into the snow and been bitten all over by the snow scale insects unique to Meiling, and the cold poison entered your bodies. This caused the icy air to suppress the fire in your bodies, causing you to pass through the fire but still survive. This is how the fire-cold poison was formed."

Having said this, he looked at Zhou Chen and Lin Shu, as if to verify whether what he said was correct.

Zhou Chen and Lin Shu both nodded. Their situations were indeed similar to what Taoist Lin had described.

After hearing this, Wei Zheng and the others felt a chill down their spines. In fact, during the desperate battle in Juehun Valley, several of them were also burned by fire, but their injuries were not as serious as those of Zhou Chen and Lin Shu, and they were not bitten by snow scale insects.

Taoist Lin continued, "People who are poisoned by this poison will have deformed bones, swollen skin and flesh, white hair all over their bodies, a stiff tongue, and will be unable to speak. The fire and cold poison attacks several times a day, and when it attacks, they need to drink blood to calm down, and human blood is the best."

The more Wei Zheng listened, the more uncomfortable he felt. He asked anxiously, "Master Lin, we already know what you said. Could you please tell me how to cure this poison?"

Taoist Lin was a little surprised, but he saw that Zhou Chen and Lin Shu were alive and well. Apart from being different from ordinary people, their emotions were pretty good. It seemed that they really knew, so he did not explain in detail.

When his eyes fell on Zhou Chen and Lin Shu, there was a hint of gentleness and emotion in them. He knew how terrible the Fire and Cold Poison was. He really admired the willpower of these two young men who could withstand the torture of the Fire and Cold Poison.

"There are two ways to cure the fire and cold poison, but no matter which one you choose, the detoxification process is very painful."

"Let's start with the first one: If you want to cure the fire and cold poison, to put it simply, you have to peel off the skin and grind the bones; but if you want to cure it completely, you have to reshape the broken bones of the fire and cold poisons, and then you have to stay in bed for at least a year to allow the bones and muscles to regenerate."

"The advantage of this method is that after the poison is removed, your face will be the same as that of an ordinary person, your tongue will become soft again, and you will be able to speak normally, but your appearance will be very different from before. However, this method of breaking bones and removing poison is extremely harmful to the body. Not only will your internal energy be completely destroyed, and you will no longer have any strength, but you will also suffer from many illnesses and injuries, and will have recurring colds from time to time, and you will not be able to live to the age of an ordinary person."

Such a solution and explanation made everyone feel cold in their hearts, especially Wei Zheng and others, they were all anxious.

"How could this be?"

Taoist Lin explained: "The human body always has a limit. If you choose this radical solution, you are actually exchanging your life. However, if you take good care of yourself, you can still live to around 40 years old."

While he was speaking, he kept staring at the expressions of Zhou Chen and Lin Shu. He found that after Lin Shu heard it, his pupils constricted and his expression was nervous, while Zhou Chen's expression was calm, as if he had expected it.

In fact, Zhou Chen did know this a long time ago, because when he was watching the TV series, when Lin Chen was helping Nie Feng detoxify, he explained in detail the solution to the fire and cold poison.

But he was not afraid. Even if he lost a certain amount of lifespan, so what? His main task was to survive for twenty years anyway. As long as he could be detoxified, what did it matter if he lived a few decades less?

As for his physical weakness, he was even less worried because he had the skill of an old horse waiting to be stable. As long as he was less than a hundred years old, his physical fitness would not continue to decline, unless he really turned into a vegetable. So even if there was a complete solution, it might cause him to suffer physical damage for many years, but as time went by, he could rely on this skill to recover to normal sooner or later.

As long as the body returns to normal, the lost internal energy can naturally be trained back, and the martial arts can be trained back again.

Therefore, before coming to Langya Pavilion, he had already made up his mind to completely get rid of the fire and cold poison.

He has lived for so many years, even if he lives a few decades less in this world, it is better than having a coat of white hair, being unable to speak, and having to live in hiding.

This was his first time traveling to ancient feudal society, and moreover, a low-level martial arts world with the Jianghu. He definitely wanted to go out and take a look and try his luck.

What's more, he has so many tasks to do, and it would be difficult to complete them without a normal human body.

Wei Zheng asked anxiously: "What about the second solution?"

Taoist Lin continued, "The second solution is similar to the first in principle, but it only keeps the toxicity under control so as not to harm the body. After the solution is completed, the toxicity will not recur every day like it does now, and there is no need to drink blood. Although the body cannot be restored to the physique of a warrior, it is no different from an ordinary person and can live to a ripe old age. However, the white hair on the body cannot be completely removed, and the stiffness of the tongue coating cannot be completely resolved, so it is difficult to speak clearly."

"You are the children of an old friend. I will help you, but you need to choose between these two methods of detoxification."

As soon as Lin Daoren finished speaking, Zhou Chen immediately raised his hand and showed a finger. His meaning was very clear: choose the first option.

Seeing that Zhou Chen chose the first solution without much thought, everyone was very surprised.

Wei Zheng said anxiously: "Achen, the first solution will cost you your lifespan, you need to think it through carefully."

Zhen Ping and others also advised: "Young Marquis, General Wei is right, you should reconsider it."

Zhou Chen shook his head and looked at Taoist Lin with a very determined attitude, which made Taoist Lin look at him with admiration.

He had already explained the pros and cons so clearly, but Zhou Chen still chose the first option without hesitation. It seemed that he had really made up his mind.

"The choice is yours. Once you've made your decision, I'll help you detoxify."

Then he looked at Lin Shu again: "Don't be so anxious to make a decision. I can give you some time to think it over."

But Lin Shu's reaction was also unexpected. He raised his hand and chose the first solution like Zhou Chen.

"Young Marshal." "Young Marshal."...

Lin Shu waved at Wei Zheng and others, signaling them to stop talking. He naturally had his reasons for choosing the first solution.

Four months have passed since the Battle of Meiling. He is in agony every moment. He must seek justice for his dead relatives and comrades.

But if I can't get rid of my current state and can't speak, how can I help them clear their grievances?

This is his motivation to live now, so even if he has to endure pain that ordinary people can hardly imagine, he must restore his normal appearance. Only in this way can he do what he wants to do.

Taoist Lin was silent for a moment before he spoke again: "You two can stay here for the time being. You two can think about it for another night. If you don't change tomorrow, I will help you detoxify as soon as possible. Lin Chen, take them to the other courtyard and arrange for them to stay."

"Got it, Dad."

Lin Chen responded, and then said to Zhou Chen and others: "Everyone, follow me."

Lin Chen brought Zhou Chen and the others to a villa, which was about one kilometer away from the courtyard where Lin Daoren lived. The courtyard was quite large, with seven or eight rooms. Even though there were more than a dozen people in Zhou Chen's group, there was absolutely no problem living there.

Langya Pavilion is indeed rich. They have basically bought the entire top of Langya Mountain, with countless pavilions and towers.

After Lin Chen left, Wei Zheng and others surrounded Zhou Chen and Lin Shu.

"Young Marshal, A'chen, Pavilion Master Lin just said that the first solution will shorten your lifespan and cause you to suffer from many illnesses and injuries. If Marshal Lin and the old marquis were still around, they would definitely not let you choose this solution."

Lin Shu was very determined. He wrote down his decision by hand, then ignored the dissuasion of Wei Zheng and others, found a room and went in.

Wei Zheng and the others were anxious but had no choice but to look at Zhou Chen: "Ah Chen, why don't you persuade the young marshal? He is still willing to listen to you."

Zhou Chen rolled his eyes. I chose the first option first. Now you want me to persuade Lin Shu. How can I persuade him? Can I change my choice myself?

What's more, given Lin Shu's personality, he has already made up his mind and no one can persuade him.

So he ignored Wei Zheng and the others and also found a room to rest.

"Achen, Achen, ah, what is this?"

Wei Zheng sighed heavily. If he had known this would happen, he would have…

He quickly shook his head, discarded his ridiculous thoughts, and felt very helpless.

However, he still did not give up and still wanted to persuade Lin Shu and Zhou Chen during the meal, but how could he persuade these two people? It would be a waste of effort.

The next day, Zhou Chen met Taoist Lin again. This time, it was just the two of them, while Wei Zheng and the others were stopped outside.

Taoist Lin asked again: "As a good friend of your father, before you give me an answer, I still want to advise you that there is hope only when people are alive. The first solution is very risky. If you can't stand the torture of the detoxification process, you may die. In this case, aren't you afraid?"

Zhou Chen shook his head decisively, and so did Lin Shu.

Taoist Lin sighed quietly. Actually, he already knew the answer yesterday, but he still wanted to persuade them because in his opinion, Zhou Chen and Lin Shu were still very young and if they used the second solution, they could live for many years.

But if you use the first solution, living to forty is a blessing, and your body will be so weak that it is even worse than that of ordinary people.

Unfortunately, neither Zhou Chen nor Lin Shu listened to his advice.

"Let me ask you one last question. Do you really want to choose the first option?"

The answer is yes.

Lin Daoren stopped trying to persuade them and said in a deep voice, "Since you have chosen the first option, I will treat you according to the first method. However, this treatment requires a lot of time and energy, and it will not be successful in one or two days. For the next one, two or even three years, you must follow my instructions completely. Is there a problem?"

Zhou Chen and Lin Shu shook their heads at the same time, with hope flashing in their eyes.

"Okay, then I'll start preparing the herbs tomorrow. You need to prepare the money yourself. Is there any problem?"

Langya Pavilion is, after all, just a gang force. Taoist Lin is friends with Lin Xie and Zhou Kuang, but he doesn't know Zhou Chen and the others. The fact that he agreed to help with detoxification and treatment is based on their past friendship.

The amount of medicinal materials needed for detoxification and treatment would be enormous, and the money required would also be very high, so he naturally couldn't afford it all.

Zhou Chen and Lin Shu had no objections. They were both born in official families, so in addition to the money that was visible, they naturally had a certain amount of money hidden in private.

However, it is not easy for Zhou Chen to use the Zhou family’s money now, otherwise he will definitely be discovered by his mother, Princess Pingyang. If his whereabouts are revealed, it will be very disadvantageous for them.

So they had already discussed it before they came. In addition to using the Lin family's money, Wei Zheng and others would also go out to build up their power, make money and develop.

"It takes some time to prepare the herbs. During this time, you should be prepared. The most important thing is to adjust your emotions. Although it is a physical injury, emotions and perseverance are also very important during the treatment process. You should be mentally prepared."

This was not a problem for Zhou Chen and the others. Both of them had crawled out of a pile of dead bodies, experienced many life-and-death ordeals, and suffered from fire, cold and poison for several months. In terms of willpower, they were definitely outstanding.

For the next period of time, in order to buy medicinal materials for Zhou Chen and Lin Shu's treatment, Wei Zheng and his team went down the mountain to find ways to get money.

Because it is a special period now, they dare not be too high-profile. Even if they change their identities, they will be in big trouble if people find out that they are former members of the Chiyan Army.

Therefore, they never thought about going to the city to make money. They could only take a different approach and start looking for trouble with bandits. This way they could not only get money, but also get rid of harm to the people.

As time went by, Taoist Lin also began to help Zhou Chen and Lin Shu detoxify, and his son Lin Chen helped him as an assistant.

Although Zhou Chen and Lin Shu had prepared themselves mentally, when the detoxification process actually began, they realized that they had still underestimated the process.

When Taoist Lin said it was extremely painful, he was being euphemistic. It was not extremely painful at all; it was extremely extremely painful, several times more painful than when he jumped off the cliff and was bitten by snow scale insects.

What’s even more terrifying is that during the process of peeling the skin and grinding the bones, even with Zhou Chen’s strong willpower, he fainted from the pain several times.

Anesthesia, anesthesia, the word he mentioned most these days was anesthesia.

However, in ancient times, it was basically impossible to produce anesthetics. However, Taoist Lin heard from his narration that some poisons had the effect of paralyzing people and making them lose their sense of pain, but they had considerable side effects. He did not dare to try, especially when using them in the process of detoxifying fire and cold poisons.

There was no other way, Zhou Chen could only endure the pain of detoxification, wailing and screaming in agony every day.

What made him most angry was that every time during the treatment, when he was in excruciating pain, Lin Chen would stand by and make sarcastic remarks.
