Cultivating From Obtaining Experience

  Chapter 195 Corpse Poison

   "Please wait a moment, I'll look for it." The staff member looked for a while and shook his head, "Sorry, we don't have the kind of books you want here."

   "Thank you." Wang An was about to leave, but stopped again. "Are there any books about ancient alchemy and architecture?"

"Please wait."

   This time I really found a few copies.

  One is "Baopuzi" and the other is "Seven Notes on Yunji". These two books not only mention the method of alchemy, but also the method of cultivating immortals; one of the books related to ancient architecture is "Luban Jing", and the other is "Zao Zao Shi".

  Wang An bought all these books.

   When he returned to Grandpa Lu Xiangyi's residence, it was already sunset.

   "You really told me, my lungs were infected." Lu Xiangyi said.

  Here was talking, Lu Siying came out from the back room, seeing Wang An hurriedly thanked Xiang Xiang for coming forward, and then asked him how he knew it, did he really rely on listening?

   "Yes, I can hear it."

   "Is the auscultation method of Chinese medicine so powerful?"

   "It's him who is amazing." Lu Xiangyi said with a smile.

  Wang An didn't speak but stared at Lu Siying. Lu Siying was very generous, but her face was still a little red when she was stared at by a man.

   "Your illness needs to be treated as soon as possible."

   "You mean her illness has gotten worse?" Lu Xiangyi heard the meaning of Wang An's words.

   "Yes, the murmur in her lungs was a little worse when she was talking than at noon, and her complexion was a bit strange." Wang Andao.

   "The face?" Lu Xiangyi turned to look at his sister, but he didn't see anything unusual.

   "When I saw her at noon, her face was still radiant, like a flower in spring. Now I can see that there is a faint aura of darkness in her complexion." Wang Andao.

   This is not some metaphysical "look-a-boo technique" in physiognomy, but the method of "look-and-diagnose" in Chinese medicine. Some diseases of people will be reflected through the complexion on the face.

  If a person has a ruddy complexion and bright eyes, there will be no problem with his body. If a person has a dull complexion, listlessness, and dim eyes, then his body will definitely not be healthy.

  After listening to Wang An's words, the people of the Lu family stopped being careless, hurriedly arranged for Lu Siying to receive treatment, and made an appointment with the best specialist.

  Wang An didn't go back to Hu'an, but stayed in Jiankang, looking around at night and admiring the famous night view of Qinhuai River.

  Smoky cage, cold water, moon cage and sand, mooring Qinhuai at night near a restaurant.

   Most of the people playing by the river are young men and women, and the river flows quietly under the light. It has been flowing for an unknown number of years.

  Wang An stood by the river and looked at the river water, the moon was reflected in the water, ships, figures, and laughter sounded beside him. In a hundred years, a thousand years, this river will still flow like this, what about the people by the river?

   "Okay!" The applause from not far away interrupted his thoughts, and looking for his reputation, he saw a group of people surrounding a young man. The young man was practicing boxing, which Wang An looked very familiar with. It was Taijiquan, an adapted version of Taijiquan, or Taiji dance would be more appropriate. Looking at the flowing clouds and flowing water is pleasing to the eye.

   Among the surrounding crowd, some clapped and applauded, and some took photos as souvenirs. There were more and more people watching. Wang An also watched for a while, and applauded along with the people on the side.

   "This is not Tai Chi." Someone in the crowd said softly.

   "Why is this not Tai Chi? Does it have to be the kind of slow-moving exercises practiced by old men and women in the park to be called Tai Chi?"

   "That's not true. Tai Chi is not blindly slow, it can also be fast, and it can be astonishingly fast; it is not blindly feminine, it can also be fierce, and when it is strong, it can be compared to Bajiquan, and it will kill people when hit. It's a pity that there are too few people who understand real Taijiquan now."

   "Well, what this young man said makes sense." Wang An glanced at the thin-looking man, and a cute girl beside him was looking up at him, blinking her big eyes.

   "Have you also practiced Tai Chi?"

   "Practice a bit."

   "Then are you practicing real Tai Chi?"

   "Probably." The young man nodded.

   "Then why don't you go up and compete with him?"

   "Practice Kung Fu is to strengthen your body and improve yourself, not to be aggressive." The young man said softly.

   "Young man, it seems that you really know kung fu." A middle-aged man on the side turned his head to look at the young man after hearing this, "Go up and show your hands and let us see."

   "That's right, go up and show your hands!" The people beside him booed.

  The young man shook his head, pulled the girl beside him and left.

   "Speaking without practicing, it is probably a fake trick, just lip service."

   "Who are you talking about?!" The girl stared at that person with wide eyes, puffing her cheeks.

   "Yo yo, I'm so scared."

   "Let's go!" The young man pulled the girl beside him.

  Wang An saw that the young man's fists were packed, obviously his heart was not as calm as his expression.

   "He was making fun of you just now." The girl still looked very angry.

   "The mouth grows on him, let him talk."

   "Aren't you angry?"

   "So what if I'm angry, can I hit him?"

   "Yes, didn't you say you have practiced Tai Chi?"

   "I practice the kind that can really fight." The young man said after a moment of silence, "I'm afraid I won't be able to control my hands."

"So what?"

   "People will die!" The young man turned to look at the girl beside him.

  The girl was stunned after hearing this, and looked at the serious-looking friend beside her. "You, what you said is true?"

   "Really, people are actually very fragile." The young man nodded. Wang An, who was listening to the conversation between the two, smiled.

   "Hey, what are you laughing at?" The girl saw Wang An staring at them and laughing, thinking she was laughing at her friend.

   "What he said makes sense." Wang An smiled and pointed to the young man.

   "Do you also know Tai Chi?"

   "Understand a little." Wang An smiled at the young man while speaking, and the other party smiled and nodded.

   What this peer said just now was pleasant to his ears, and it was indeed reasonable.

  Wang An turned and left, thinking about going to other places, when he heard a scream coming from behind, turned around and looked back, and saw the young man who was doing Tai Chi just now fell to the ground, and a tall and thick man stood beside him.

   "Listen to me, if you dare to seduce my girlfriend again, I will kill you!"

oh? ! A group of onlookers next to them looked like they didn't think it was a big deal, their eyes were shining.

  Wang An did not stay any longer, but turned and left the Qinhuai River.

  The people of the Lu family had already arranged a place for him, a very quiet villa. When he returned to the house, Lu Xiangyi was already waiting there, and on the table were the books that Wang An bought during the day.

   "Is your sister better?"

   "No, the condition is still showing signs of deterioration, and has already started to have a fever." Lu Xiangyi was a little worried while speaking.

   "Is it that serious?"

   "She is currently conducting a very special research. I have already consulted her supervisor. Some colleagues who studied with her have similar symptoms. The same is the shadow of the lungs, fever, and some even have hallucinations."

   "What are they working on?"

   "A corpse."

   "Corpse? Your sister's research is really special."

   "It's very special. It's the corpse that induced the orangutan to mutate and was regarded by outsiders as the monster Hongmaoji." Lu Xiangyi said truthfully.

   "That has something to do with the weird biological matter in that corpse, did your sister tell you what it was?"

   "A fungus similar to Tai Sui."

   "Tai Sui?" Wang An was startled slightly after hearing this, "Didn't his mentor understand the reason for her treatment?"

   "He analyzed that the poisonous substances released by the fungus caused them to get sick, but they were very careful during the research process, and some people in the same research group got sick while others were fine. This is very strange."

  Wang An fell silent after hearing this. He couldn't help much in this matter. He was not very proficient in medical skills or biology, so he couldn't give any advice.

   "I'm a little worried about her."

   "Auspicious people have their own heaven." Wang An could only comfort Lu Xiangyi in this way.

  The next day, Wang An visited Lu Siying. After all, she was Lu Xiangyi's younger sister, so she should visit.

   In just one day, her face became much paler, and her breathing became short of breath. It felt as if something was blocking her lungs, as if there was not enough air. It seemed that the situation was not good.

  Because she was worried that the disease might be contagious, Lu Siying's room was isolated separately.

"what did the doctor say?"

   "I consulted several doctors. Some said it was a special bacterial infection, and some said it was evil poison entering the lungs. I have already taken medicine, but the effect is not very good."

   "Infection, evil poison?" Needless to say, the two doctors have different explanations.

   At this time, Lu Xiangyi's grandfather brought an old man in his seventies over, and entered the house to treat Lu Siying.

   "That's Mr. Liu, a famous master of traditional Chinese medicine. Grandpa invited him from the capital." Lu Xiangyi said softly.

   After a while, that old Liu came out of the house.

   "It was the evil poison that invaded the lungs, but this evil poison is very strange, can you tell how she contracted this disease?" the old man asked.

  Lu Xiangyi didn't dare to hide anything, so he told the old man about his sister's work during this period.

   "Tai Sui, in the corpse of a thousand years, this, is this infected with the legendary corpse poison?"

   "Then why is it okay to have someone who studies with her?"

   "I don't know the reason for this. Maybe some people pay more attention to protection. If she is infected with corpse poison, it will be troublesome. This poison mainly stays in the lungs for the time being, but it will soon spread to her internal organs, and even her spiritual essence. When I gave her pulse just now, I already felt that her internal organs showed signs of being infected."

"so what should I do now?"

   "That kind of evil poison is in the corpse, and it doesn't see the light of day. It's an extremely yin poison. It needs to be treated with extremely yang medicine. I have to think about it carefully." The old man said.

   "What is corpse poison, the kind described in the novel?" Lu Xiangyi asked hastily.

   "This is also the first time I've seen it. I still need to think about how to use the medicine."

   "Okay, thank you."

  Lu Xiangyi's grandfather arranged for Mr. Liu to be taken to the residence prepared for him.

   "Do you know about corpse poison?" Lu Xiangyi asked Wang An next to him.

   "I've only seen it in novels and stories, so I don't know what it is." Wang An said truthfully.

  That afternoon, Mr. Liu prescribed a dose of medicine. Less than an hour after taking it, Lu Siying began to vomit, and the vomit was mixed with dark red blood. After giving her pulse, Mr. Liu looked solemn.

   "The evil poison has invaded the internal organs."

   "Then what should we do?" Lu Xiangyi's father asked hastily.

  Old Liu shook his head, "I'm using several popular traditional Chinese medicines, hoping to use them to dispel the evil poison, but it seems that the effect is still not good."

   "What if there is a more overbearing drug?" Wang An said aside.

   "A more overbearing drug, what kind of overbearing method?" Elder Liu turned to look at Wang An and asked.

   "The kind that can burn all internal organs!"

   "There is such an overbearing medicine?" Liu Lao was taken aback, "Let me think about it, if there is such an overbearing medicine, it can indeed dispel this evil poison, but it must also ensure that the body will not be seriously damaged. After taking the medicine for a period of time, immediately take another medicine to nourish the internal organs."

  After Wang An's reminder, this old Liu started talking to himself.

  This master of Chinese medicine is not ordinary. Wang An reminded him that he could already think of taking tonics after taking strong drugs to repair the damage of the body. This coincided with what Zhou Dian said in the picture.

   "This method is feasible. Where does the medicine you mentioned come from? Let me see what it looks like first. What is the main medicine?"

   "Wait a moment." Wang An pulled Lu Xiangyi aside.

   "Could the medicine you're talking about be Chidan?" Lu Xiangyi said softly. When Wang An said the phrase "burn the internal organs thoroughly", he thought of Chidan.

   "Yes, it's Chi Dan. After taking Chi Dan, it's like swallowing a ball of fire. This fire can just dispel the evil poison. I'm just a suggestion. After all, it's too risky to use this pill." Wang Andao.

   "I have to discuss it with my father and grandpa."

  The three of them, grandparents and grandchildren, got together to discuss this matter. Chi Dan and the others can get it, but this treatment process is really too risky.

   After all, many people died after taking Chidan, and those people were all physically fit and specially trained people. As a woman, Lu Siying, even if she had practiced a little kung fu, she was definitely not as good as those people.

   During their discussion, Lu Siying fell into a brief coma. Now they are even more anxious.

   "Try!"

  Lu Xiangyi immediately took out the red pill. Mr. Liu looked at the pill, gently took off a little and put it into the end, tasted a little, and then spit it out immediately.

   "What a strong medicine!"

   "Where is the prescription of this medicine, can you show me?"

   "This, this is a secret, Mr. Liu, you can't spread it outside after reading it."

   "Good!" The old man nodded.

  Lu Xiangyi wrote down Chidan's prescription. He had known the prescription earlier.
