I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 316: Doctor Ling's Exorcism

"Seal off the surroundings. Water Gu are very tiny insects. There are many people infected here. I'm afraid some will be missed. If one escapes, a whole group of people will fall down soon."

Sang Que nodded and spread out the ghost domain. The outside of the house suddenly fell into darkness. The red lines in the ghost domain crisscrossed, blocking all the gaps in the doors and windows.

Seeing this, Qiao Ling nodded, found an open space in the middle of the room and began to prepare.

Qiao Ling took out a red pottery bowl from the bottom of the medicine box. White hieroglyphs were painted on the bowl.

She rolled a stack of white paper into a fan shape and placed it at the bottom of the bowl. She then grabbed three handfuls of rice and covered the paper with them. Finally, she took out a slightly larger gourd medicine bottle from the top layer of the medicine box.

Qiao Ling was chanting some ancient and strange words, which reminded Sang Que of the records about the art of incantation that she had read in modern times.

Zhuyoushu is a branch of ancient witchcraft, mostly used for medical treatment.

After Qiao Ling finished reading, he opened the gourd medicine bottle, lifted up the mask a little to reveal his mouth, drank the contents of the bottle in one gulp, held it in his mouth, and spit it into the bowl.

The rich aroma of wine immediately filled the room, and there was a sense of restlessness in the air. The spider patterns on everyone's stomach seemed to come alive, burning red.

Green flames rose from the white paper in the bowl, and Qiao Ling shouted, "Go!"

Suddenly, the mixture of rice and paper ash in the bowl turned into black and white insects, which crawled out of the bowl like ants and headed towards the people around them who were poisoned.

The ants crawled up the people's swollen stomachs and drilled in through the navel. The people's wails of pain suddenly became louder and their bodies twitched and struggled.

But soon, the ants that had drilled in moved backwards out of the belly buttons of those people. Their thick front jaws held a tiny, transparent insect with a watery luster. The ants pulled the insect out of their stomachs with force.

As soon as the little bugs left the stomachs of those people, a large amount of water overflowed from their belly buttons. The originally bloated stomachs immediately deflated like a deflated ball, and the wailing sounds also stopped.

"Back!"

The ants dragged the little bugs back to the bowl in front of Qiao Ling, but not all ants were successful. Many were poisoned. Some ants were rolled up by the little bugs and entangled, and they struggled to break free and immediately fled in all directions.

The ghost domain of the mulberry bird is impenetrable. The little bugs hit the edge of the ghost domain and couldn't escape. They were caught and dragged away by the ants that chased them from behind.

Xuan Yu, who had been observing from the beam, also jumped down at this time, slapped the fleeing water-eating insects with his claws, and drove them towards Qiao Ling.

Most poisonous insects rely on the mother insect to drive the offspring. If the mother insect is not removed, the offspring will be difficult to kill. As long as the offspring find an opportunity, they will continue to parasitize and reproduce.

All the water parasites were caught in the sea bowl in front of Qiao Ling and gathered together, like a bowl of clear and transparent water, rippling slightly. But if you look closely, you will find that it is full of densely packed small insects.

After the water poisoning had been taken out of everyone, Qiao Ling picked up the bowl, lifted up half of his mask, tilted his head back and drank the bowl of "water".

This scene made Sangque and Xiachan open their eyes wide in shock.

All along, Sang Que thought Qiao Ling was just a normal doctor with rich medical knowledge and skills. This was the first time he saw her using methods other than normal.

Sangque almost forgot that everyone in Jiuge is different from ordinary people.

Gudong!

Sang Que heard a clear swallowing sound, and Qiao Ling tilted his head and burped. It felt like he had drunk a bowl of sparkling water instead of a bowl of poisonous insects.

Qiao Ling wiped his mouth, put on his mask, packed up his things and stood up. "Okay, the problem here is solved. There are still some people next door who have been poisoned by snake poison, flying poison and epilepsy poison. We will be busy today."

Qiao Ling took Sang Que and Xia Chan with him and worked from early morning until the next morning before they finally finished treating all the most critically injured people in the wounded camp.

During this time, Qiao Ling didn't even think about eating, but he ate a lot of various poisons.

Sang Que discovered that Qiao Ling was truly immune to all poisons. She could absorb any poison, whether it was a Gu or a poison.

During this period, Sang Que took the time to go outside the city to collect the bodies in the pit. The armor and weapons of the bodies had been taken away, and the things that the ghost peddler requested needed to be found elsewhere.

Afterwards, Sangque went to the nearby mountains to hunt some wild animals for Xiachan.

Qiao Ling kept eating, and Xia Chan kept consuming, her little face sunken in hunger.

After finishing his work, Qiao Ling went back and fell asleep, and no one could wake him up even if they called him.

Sangque gave the hunted beast to Xia Chan, who kindly gave some to Xuan Yu, and then began to feast on it.

Xuanyu’s staple food has now become raw flesh and blood. The cat has grown a lot bigger and become more wild.

But Xuanyu, like Xiachan, gets very greedy occasionally, and cans and cat strips are mainly used to satisfy his cravings.

The whole day's work was not in vain, as all the soldiers and civilians in Sanchahe Guanzhong were grateful to the three of them.

Of course, Qiao Ling received the most incense, and she also paid the most. Swallowing so many poisonous insects must have come at a price.

Qiao Ling slept for three days.

During these three days, there was no movement from the Qianshou army on the other side of the river. The scouts sent by Zhang Laosi to investigate came back and said that the Qianshou army had retreated, and the original camp was in a mess, with blood and corpses everywhere.

Sang Que guessed that they must have disrupted the Qianshou army's ceremony of worshiping the water ghost that day, causing the water ghost to retaliate and the Qianshou army to suffer heavy losses, so they had to retreat temporarily.

The danger at Sanchahe Pass has been temporarily resolved, but Zhang Laosi and his men will continue to stay here.

Sang Que heard from them that if they could hold out for another month, the main forces from Jingzhou and Yunzhou would arrive, and the Prime Minister would even send the two generals stationed in Jingzhou to assist. Then they would be able to counterattack the Qianshou army and regain the lost territory.

Zhang Laosi also pointed out a safer route for Sang Que, allowing Sang Que to go to the central battlefield to find He Buning.

Three days later, in the early morning, Qiao Ling finally woke up. Everything seemed normal after waking up, but when Sang Que was combing her hair, he found that there were many more white hairs on her head.

After seeing this, Qiao Ling sighed dejectedly, took out a bottle of medicine from the medicine box, applied it on the comb, and the areas that had been combed turned back to black.

Sang Que then remembered that Qiao Ling's physical strength had always been poor. When he needed to sprint or travel, he always had to take medicine to keep going.

And Qiao Ling is now always training Xia Chan. Could it be that he is preparing to pass on his medical skills?
Before leaving Sanchahe Pass, Qiao Ling went to the wounded camp to check again. After making sure that the people he had rescued before were not in serious trouble, he left some simple but effective prescriptions for the doctors in the wounded camp and reminded them of some precautions to prevent poisonous insects. Then he followed Sang Que and continued on his journey.

The sedan chair could not be used during the day, so Sang Que asked Zhang Laosi for three horses. The three of them rode on horseback quickly, heading north along the river.

I'll go to the airport to pick someone up later. I'll update tomorrow for the monthly ticket.

See you tomorrow~
