The Huai Shui God's Cave

Chapter 25

His words made me tremble all over, trembling up and down, terrified in my heart, and the expression on my face distorted.It's disgusting to think that a corpse insect egg grows in its own heart and then devours my flesh.Without any hesitation, I took out the dagger I carried with me, and located the red mark.Hard-hearted and ready to dig it out!

Ma Chuchen pulled me back tremblingly and said, "What are you doing?"

I gritted my teeth and said firmly, "Cut it off before it's ripe!"

Blind Yuan said: "You can't cut it. This kind of insect eggs live on blood. It has hundreds of claws and thousands of legs, and each foot can hold your blood vessels. If you dig it out, it will cut off the blood vessels, and the blood gull will not be cured by then." , you have collapsed to death!"

I almost got mad and asked him what to do.

Blind Yuan said softly: "Wu Wa, please calm down first. Although Xuanyuan Mirror cannot completely detoxify, it can inhibit the spread of toxins. You use it once a day, and it can keep the eggs from growing up. You can buy enough time to help you find a solution of."

When he said this, I had no choice but to give up, but a new question arose in my heart.I looked at him and said very bluntly: "Grandpa Yuan, why do you care about my affairs so much? You saved me from the snake spirit before, gave me Xuanyuan mirror, and took us out of the secret path. Help me detoxify the blood gu, what is your purpose?"

Blind Yuan was furious when I asked him, he wanted to continue to play haha ​​to deal with it perfunctorily, but I didn't want to let him go, I had to force him to tell the truth.Seeing that he couldn't resist it, he paused and said, "I have a very deep relationship with your family, and there are some things that I can only tell you alone... By the way, there is also this girl named Ma, you also leave Down."

Seeing what he said, the others knew that the next words involved privacy, so they got up and left.Blind Yuan didn't say much, Yang Xiaoxie wanted to stay and join in the fun, but I gave him a wink and got up tactfully.Blind Yuan spoke again, he stopped Tang Mei and said, "Little brother, you are the king of Yu, please stay and listen to blind Yuan Yuan."

Tang Mei stopped in a daze. He felt that Yuan Xiazi might want to blame him for cutting off the black cat's tail.Yang Xiaoxie gleefully winked at him, and together with Lin Xiaowei helped Professor Han leave.Professor Han's spirit is very poor. After all, he is old and has limited energy.His eyes looked dull, as if his energy had been sucked away.I asked Yang Xiaoxie to arrange them to live well, and wait for me to find them at night.

After they left, Yuan Xiazi said to Tang Mo: "You are looking for someone, a woman?" Tang Mo trembled and asked in surprise: "How do you know? Could it be that you have seen her?"

Blind Yuan shook his head and said, "I just want to advise you, fate is predestined, and you can't help it at all. Since it's a bad relationship, why bother to seek it!"

Tang Mo was stunned for a moment, with a painful expression on his face, he said: "I have been looking for her all the time since I came to this world. If you let me give up, I don't know if my life is still alive." what sense."

Blind Yuan was also stunned when he heard the words. After a long while, he sighed, and said quietly: "The moon and the moon in the sea have tears, but at that time I was at a loss!" Then he turned his back and stopped talking.

Tang Mei stood still for a while, as if reminiscing Yuan Xiazi's words, then he strode out, turned around suddenly, walked up to me, took out the black jade seal from his backpack, and said, "I decided to Go to Beijing and ask someone to clarify some things. There may be many difficulties. Please save this thing for me. If I can’t come back, please destroy it.”

I took it hesitantly, and asked him: "This doesn't seem to be an ordinary thing, it may be a priceless antique, are you not afraid that I will sell it for private use?"

He smiled slightly and said, "You won't, I believe in you. If I can come back, I will definitely go to you." After speaking, he strode away.He walked quickly, and disappeared after a while.A person like him, who clearly knows that there is danger, still insists on going. I know that it is useless to stop him, and there is only an inexplicable touch in my heart, the trust entrusted to him.

After he left, Blind Yuan turned his face, and I hurriedly asked: "Grandpa Yuan, you haven't told me yet, what is the relationship between you and my family?"

Yuan Xiazi said: "Now that things have happened, what I can tell you is that my relationship with your family, and even the Ma family of the Exorcist Dragon Clan, is from the lower Riba people."

He mentioned the Lower Liba people. I know this. It is a folk song of the Chu State during the Warring States Period. It comes from Song Yu's "Answer to the King of Chu".The Ba people are a nation with a very long history, and their history can be traced back to the Xia Yu era.

Seeing my answer, Yuan Xiazi smiled slightly and said, "Wu Wa, you only know one thing, not the other. In fact, the Xialiba people are the eight wizards around King Xiang of Chu. To praise their merits, Song Yu dedicated Compiled some songs. The eight wizards were originally very secretive, and there were very few historical records about them. The world gradually forgot about them, and only remembered those songs. Your ancestors and the ancestors of the Ma family belonged to the Liba people. pulse."

What he said took me by surprise.I never knew that my ancestors had such a legend, and it was said from an outsider.Ma Chuchen was also very surprised, she shook her whole body, and asked, "How do you know these things, and who are you?" Judging by her expression, she obviously knew this.However, I have never heard it from my family, I just think it is a fairy tale.

Blind Yuan said: "My ancestor is Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, who came from the same family as the master of the Xialiba people, the sorceress Xiyao..."

"Wait," I yelled, "You said that Xuanyuan and Xiyao are from the same sect, as if they were not from the same period? Jiuding said that Xiyao was a witch in the period of King Huai and King Xiang of Chu, and Huangdi Xuanyuan was earlier than her Hundreds of years, right?"

Blind Yuan said flatly, "You're right, but there's one thing you don't know. Xi Yao has another name, Queen Mother of the West."

I was taken aback: "Queen Mother Xi?"

Yuan Xiazi said: "You all know the story of Chang'e flying to the moon. Hou Yi is the elixir of immortality obtained from the Queen Mother of the West. The Queen Mother of the West was originally a grandmother who made alchemy. It is not unusual for her to live from the beginning of Pangu to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States and become Xi Yao. !"

I then asked: "How do you know about my ancestors? My grandfather and father are just the most ordinary country doctors, including myself, who know nothing about wizards and witchcraft."

Yuan Xiazi said: "Your ancestors were proficient in Zhu Youshu, that is, using spells and Chinese herbal medicine to cure diseases. It's just a long time ago, and because of some historical background, those spells have been lost, and what can be left are only some simple ones. Commonly used medicinal herbs."

"The Encyclopedia of Ancient and Modern Medicine" records: The ancient genius doctor used Jian as his seat and grass as his dog.People seek medical treatment when they are sick, but if they curse at the north, they will be healed within ten words.The ancient Zhu Yuke, this is the reason.

I know the technique of Zhu You he said. In the Tang Dynasty, Zhu You had become an independent branch of the Chinese medicine system.For example, the Imperial Hospital of the Ming Dynasty set up thirteen departments of medical skills: "Dafangmai, women, typhoid fever, sores, acupuncture, eyes, articulation, throat, bone setting, golden arrowheads, massage, Congratulations."

According to Zhang Jiebin: "Today's massage and Zhuyou two subjects have lost their traditions, but the folks still have them." Looking back to the "Huangdi Neijing", there is no mention of ghosts and gods in the whole article, and it is believed that "because knowing the victory of all diseases, the prophets can predict all kinds of diseases." Where the disease comes from" is the reason for wishing you to take effect.Wang Bing's note is also only a few words, "I wish to talk about the cause of the disease, and it will not be a needle or stone", which shows that Zhu You has always been on the edge of the traditional Chinese medicine system.

Yuan Xiazi's next words made me even more dumbfounded. He said: "Since the great wizard of Xiyao sealed himself in the tomb of King Xiang of Chu, the state of Chu declined quickly and was eventually destroyed by the state of Qin. After hundreds of thousands of years, they don't want their descendants to get involved in the days of war. Just like the ancestors of your Wu family, they also hope that all the secrets will be sealed. However, some things can never be hidden Yes. For example, the Ma family is born with psychics, and every generation will have an outstanding person who can drive the dragon; and your Wu family can breathe freely in the water like fish... Am I right?"

Now I was completely stunned. The secret that the descendants of our Wu family can breathe in water is known to us, and we have never told outsiders.This trait is only shown in male offspring.My grandfather once had an older sister, and as far as I know, her descendants do not have this characteristic.I don't know how blind Yuan knew.

Thinking of this, I rolled my eyes, smiled, and said, "Grandpa Yuan, did he tell you this secret when you rescued my grandfather?"

Blind Yuan smiled lightly and said, "Wu Wa'er, you don't believe what Blind Yuan said, do you? This is a secret of your family, and your grandfather will not tell anyone easily. To tell you the truth, this secret was indeed the one I saved and treated him back then. I discovered it when I used my celestial eyes to see that his whole body was protected by a kind of blue light invisible to the naked eye. This blue light was emitted from his pores. After careful inspection, I found that his blood contained a rare The composition, which changes the combination of genes, allows the human body to form an invisible protective shell outside the body through the pores, and this protective shell can decompose water molecules and combine oxygen under water, and transport circulation through the pores."

I said: "Based on this, you believe that our ancestors are one of the Xialiba people. Is it too far-fetched?"

Blind Yuan said in a deep voice: "Being able to breathe underwater through pores is the instinct of mermaids and mermaids in ancient times. Xiyao once raised mermaids and grafted the life characteristics of mermaids into human genes. Human science and technology cannot do it, but she used witchcraft to change the genetic code of one of her apprentices. These things were mentioned briefly by my ancestor Yuan Tiangang in his "Yi Jing Xuan Yao."

It turned out that Yuan Tiangang was really his ancestors, and they were all descendants of Xuanyuan Huangdi.No wonder he owns that Xuanyuan Mirror!
My doubts were not completely explained, and I wanted to ask again, but Yuan Xiazi waved his hand and said impatiently: "Wu Wa'er, I have already said too much, there are some things that you shouldn't ask, so you should ask less." , now the top priority is to cure the blood gu on your body first!"

I nodded and said, "I'm going to the hospital for some examinations to see if it can be removed through medical means. Grandpa Yuan, do you have any good suggestions?"

Blind Yuan sighed, and said, "You can go to the hospital for an examination, but I think the feasibility of surgical resection is very small, so don't take risks if you are not sure. There is still one person who may be able to cure this blood gu!"

I was overjoyed and said, "Who is it, I'll go find him!"

Yuan Xiazi said: "Qingfeng's elder brother, Daoist Qinglan. In fact, the patriarch of the Maoshan school was originally a descendant of one of the Xialiba people. Daoist Jinguang is proficient in breaking all kinds of witchcraft. He doesn't know anything about crooked techniques, he doesn't know anything about curing diseases and saving people, otherwise he wouldn't have gone back to seek treatment from Jin Guang after being poisoned by the corpse. I just don't know how much Daoist Qinglan has learned. I met him more than a month ago, and the situation is not good .”

It turned out that when Yang Xiaoxie and I hijacked Blind Yuan to the hospital to help Zheng Mingming drive away the infatuated little tailor in Tsing Yi, Blind Yuan overheard someone chanting "Tao Te Ching" outside the internal medicine ward on the first floor. the sound of.He kept an eye on it at the time, and later found a time to inquire specifically, and the patient living there was Taoist Qinglan.

More than 20 years ago, Taoist Qinglan escaped from the Maoshan Taoist Temple that was set on fire by Qingfeng. Due to inhalation of a large amount of thick smoke, the root cause of the disease was left in the lungs, especially when he was old, asthma often broke out.He searched everywhere for Qingfeng but to no avail. The world is so big and there are so many people. He vaguely remembered Qingfeng's dead body poison in the primeval forest of Chu City. He thought it was a clue. With Qingfeng's personality, it must be because of some secrets in the primeval forest. will lead him there.Therefore, Qinglan came to Chucheng to stay, hoping to catch Qingfeng and avenge her master.

During that time, he placed an order to a temple in the suburbs.Once, the abbot introduced a wealthy businessman who had been beheaded by a little ghost, and asked him to treat him.He couldn't bear it for a while, and rescued the wealthy businessman's family.The wealthy businessman's family has always regarded him as a savior.Later, his old illness broke out and he was sent to the hospital for treatment by a wealthy businessman.He often recited the "Tao Te Ching" during his hospitalization, but he did not expect to attract blind Yuan because of this.

Because of the origin of the teacher, Qinglan confides Qingfeng's crime of bullying his master and destroying his ancestors, and begs Yuan Xiazi to inform himself of Qingfeng's whereabouts.Yuan Xiazi was very angry and promised him that he would do his own thing for him.

Yuan Xiazi said: "Qing Lan has been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer, and his spirit is sometimes a little crazy. I am going to find him personally to find a way to relieve the blood gu. No matter whether it is successful or not, I will go to you."

After coming down from the mountain, Ma Chuchen and I rushed to the city's No.1 civilian hospital immediately.After working for several years, there are quite a few people who deal with various aspects. Naturally, there are many acquaintances in the hospital. I found a friend Xiaonian who is an attending physician.Xiaonian is a surgeon. He just came out of the operating room. He heard that I was not feeling well. He didn’t even issue a checklist. He took me directly to the B-ultrasound room and told the doctor inside that I was his cousin. little bit.

The B-ultrasound doctor slid the probe back and forth on my chest for more than ten minutes. I saw that his expression was serious, and then called Doctor Xiaonian over, pointed to the display screen and said, "It's very strange, it looks like a cystic tumor. Mass, but connected to the aorta of the heart."

Doctor Xiaonian also looked at it seriously for a while, then called me to his office and said, "Angkor, the initial diagnosis is a cyst. In this case, I suggest you perform a biopsy or directly remove it, but because it is connected to an artery, this The operation is relatively difficult, and there may be unfavorable situations during the process. It is better to choose a large hospital in Beijing or Wuhan to be safer."

In fact, from what the B-ultrasound doctor said, I had already learned that this is not something that can be solved by ordinary surgery, and I was very frustrated, so I thanked him and left.

Ma Chuchen stayed with me all the time, she comforted me and said: "Master Yuan went to Taoist Qinglan for help, let's go ask Professor Han again, he is an expert in the study of Wuchu culture, maybe he can find some breakthrough method! "

At this point, we can only ask the professor.Ma Chuchen and I found the hotel where they were staying, and as soon as we arrived at the door, we heard the professor getting angry inside: "Didn't I tell you that the jade dress is a cultural relic and belongs to the state, and no one can take it with me in the name of an individual?" Walk!"

Lin Xiaowei defended in a low voice: "Teacher, I'm sorry, they have a secondment order from the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, and I can't refuse."

We knocked on the door and went in to ask what happened.It turned out that the professor had fever symptoms after he came back, and Yang Xiaoxie took him for an infusion, and asked Lin Xiaowei to wait for him in the room with the jade dress.

When Lin Xiaowei was sorting out his notes, Manager Liu and Wu Gang came; they took out the secondment order from the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, and they took the jade dress away by force; when the professor came back and found out, he was so angry up.

Ma Chuchen was a little strange, and asked, "Didn't they go back to Beijing? How did they know that the professor had jade clothes?"

I sneered and said, "It's very simple. It must be the wind from Qingfeng's mouth. There is no doubt that Xiao Liu from Boguzhai in the past is now Manager Liu. They have been trying to get everything about this ancient tomb. cultural relics!"

Lin Xiaowei said: "I also saw that Manager Liu is not a good person, so I gave the jade clothes to the driver Wu Gang!"

I said: "After Wu Gang brought the jade clothes to Mr. Sun, he looked at them and maybe returned them to the Bureau of Cultural Relics. After all, they borrowed them."

The professor sighed and said: "I hope so!"

Remembering that in the tomb passage, I accidentally saw the scene of the professor holding the jade dress with loose eyes and a hideous face. I think that jade dress must not be that simple.

I discussed my blood gu with the professor.The professor only knew some simple rescue methods. He said: "Xiao Wu, Chinese witchcraft has a long history. Many mysterious phenomena cannot be explained and solved by modern technology. Many Gu arts are the secrets of the practitioners. It is prepared, and the antidote is also specially made, outsiders cannot know about it. But I know that there is a kind of wish worm in Gu art, which is said to be able to cure hundreds of Gu."

"Wishing bug? Where can I find this kind of bug?" Ma Chuchen was more anxious than me, and said what I wanted to ask in advance.

The professor sighed and said, "I also recently saw a Tang Dynasty warlock's handwriting in your city museum, which recorded such things. It is recorded that the wishing insect lives on the leaves of the acacia vine, and the acacia vine grows in the yin pole. The place where the mountains and rivers intersect with the prosperous Tai Chi dragon veins."

Ma Chuchen said: "Since it is a manuscript in the museum of this city, the things in it can definitely be found locally. Professor, you are familiar with Feng Shui Yishu, please point us to a place."

The professor shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Chuchen, the "Book of Changes" is extensive and profound, and I can't even understand one or two of the simplest Yin-Yang and Five Elements in it. How can I guide you. Dragon veins are rare, and Tai Chi dragon veins are even more difficult to find!"

I know the professor is speaking modestly.However, the ancients selected the dragon veins according to Fengshui Yishu. Although modern technology is advanced, it is indeed inferior to the ancients in terms of yin and yang, five elements and Yili gossip.

Yang Xiaoxie drove his father's car to ask us to go out for dinner.The professor is in a bad mood and doesn't want to go out.A few of us found a small restaurant to eat a little casually, and then ended hastily.Lin Xiaowei brought a lunch box for the professor to the hotel, and they will return to Beijing the next day to report on the investigation.

Ma Chuchen asked me: "Wu You, where is the biggest cemetery here?"

I was taken aback, what cemetery were I looking for in the middle of the night?Yang Xiaoxie said: "Sister, don't you want to chat with the ghost inside?"

Ma Chuchen took out a piece of uncut jade on his body, and said, "Here are the souls of the artisans in the tomb. I want to release them so that they can reincarnate as soon as possible."
