Chapter 260: The Way of Stealing Life, Incurable
Li Changxiao was wandering around the Wang family garden bored.
The palace covers a very large area. It takes half a quarter of an hour to walk around it in a circle. Various flowers, plants and trees are planted in the circular forest. Some of them have a great origin. According to the servants, they were introduced from Dayan Huazong. The fragrance of these flowers has the effect of dredging the blood. Before Mr. Wang fell ill, he always paid great attention to health preservation and was very strict in taking care of these flowers and plants. If the servants made any mistakes, they would be punished.
Although the scenery of this garden is beautiful, it is actually not to Li Changxiao's taste.
Every flower and every blade of grass seemed to be bound by strict rules.
A bit depressing.
After walking around and returning to the master bedroom, the door was still closed. Li Changxiao knocked on the door. After a while, Zhang Mo opened the door after hearing the knock.
At this time, the poisonous fragrance in the house had dissipated.
Zhang Mo also calmed down. Her face was calm and expressionless, as if nothing had happened.
"What's up with him?"
Li Changxiao pretended to be surprised and looked at the fainted Wang Bao.
Zhang Mo said: "This person had bad intentions and just wanted to harm me, but I knocked him out."
Zhang Mo often disdains lying, but she is not unfamiliar with it. Li Changxiao has no need to expose her and make her feel embarrassed, so the matter just happened and was put to rest.
Li Changxiao began to observe his surroundings.
The floor of the master bedroom was made of expensive wood. The bed that Mr. Wang slept on was carved with auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes. It was a wooden bed. Inside the bed, there was a piece of warm jade, which had the effect of keeping warm in winter and cool in summer.
"This is the jade of immortality."
Zhang Mo, who was always keeping an eye on Li Changxiao, also cast her eyes on the warm jade. She explained, "This jade was once popular in Lijiu City for a period of time. Is there anything special about this jade?"
Li Changxiao touched the longevity jade, which was slightly cool and extremely extraordinary, but... its efficacy might not necessarily help him achieve longevity.
"This longevity jade may not necessarily help people achieve longevity." Li Changxiao shook his head.
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Mo also touched the jade, but she couldn't explain its effect.
"Elder Zhang, why not use your sword to cut a hole in this precious jade?" Li Changxiao murmured.
"it is good!"
Zhang Mo did not hesitate and drew her sword. The longevity jade was extremely tough, but it could not withstand the sword in Zhang Mo's hand. With the help of Zhang Mo's internal strength, this expensive warm jade was like a fragile piece of tofu, and a hole was easily cut in it.
She then retracted her sword.
The sword was a little wet and stained with some fishy liquid, and there was also a sour smell.
Her pupils shrank. There was indeed something wrong with this piece of jade. She looked at the hole and saw liquid dripping from it. In the center of the jade, there was a statue. The statue looked very strange, with a toad body and a human head.
Seeing this, Li Changxiao nodded secretly. His guess was indeed correct. The world was becoming more and more interesting.
He said: "You see, this jade is used as a bed, and Mr. Wang sleeps on it every day. His spirit is absorbed by the jade, and then seeps into the jade little by little, turning into water drops, dripping onto this statue."
"It's the life-stealing sect... the black market merchant!" Two words popped out of Zhang Mo's mouth.
Li Changxiao was stunned for a moment and cast a curious look. Zhang Mo was indeed knowledgeable. Following her, it was indeed easy to understand a lot of things.
Zhang Mo explained: "The so-called black market merchants are a general term for a group of people, or a type of profession. They sell all kinds of goods, and the price is often a person's life."
"The path they follow is called 'the path of stealing life', which means stealing the life of others invisibly."
Li Changxiao asked, "Elder Zhang, which path are you taking?"
Zhang Mo said, "The Way of Opening the Acupoints... Warriors, this way is common, but it requires talent. There are some mysterious acupoints that not everyone has, and even very few people have them. By the way, Brother Changxiao, you are also very knowledgeable. You can see through the mystery here. I guess you must be a person who has entered the Dao, right?"
“Uh…” Li Changxiao didn’t know how to answer for a moment. Should he tell him that he was an immortal…a cultivator in the Spiritual Transformation Realm?
Li Changxiao used dream magic to confuse this question.
Although this warm jade has problems, it cannot explain why Mr. Wang fell ill. According to Li Changxiao's guess, this warm jade can only steal life at most and does not seem to have any necessary connection with the strange disease.
Zhang Mo suspected that it was Wang Bao who had an affair with the Huo Qian Sect and deliberately let Old Man Wang get sick in order to lure her out and do something bad to her.
Her suspicion was well-founded. After all, Wang Bao's actions were indeed easy to arouse suspicion.
Li Changxiao told her that he felt that Wang Bao was simply blinded by lust.
Wang Bao couldn't keep the truth secret.
The first time Li Changxiao saw him, he could feel an almost uncontrollable lust emanating from him.
Thinking of this, Li Changxiao looked Zhang Mo up and down. Given her looks, it was normal for a girl like her to have such a suitor.
Putting aside those irrelevant thoughts, he looked around for useful clues and saw envelopes scattered on the ground.
He picked it up and examined it.
Zhang Mo leaned over to observe and found that it was indeed left by the sick doctor. She told Li Changxiao that the sick doctors were a group of crazy people who took the path of "sacrifice themselves".
"The Way of Sacrificing One's Life", "The Way of Stealing Life" and "The Way of Opening the Orifices" are just a strange case of illness, but they involve three ways to longevity.
After reading it, Li Changxiao frowned slightly.
There was a piece of information in it that caught his attention.
On the second day after Zhang Mo left, the doctor felt Mr. Wang's pulse, took blood from his middle finger, dripped it into warm boiled water, and then soaked it in detoxifying soft jade for two incense sticks of time. The doctor drank the blood and water, and had a general understanding of Mr. Wang's medical knowledge.
He prescribed the right medicine for the disease. First, he took out the roundworms from the stomach of an adult wild boar, a total of 17, and placed them in a basin to feed them for three days. Then he ordered people to go to the medicine shop to get dozens of medicinal herbs, and to go to Dayan Huazong to ask for a detoxifying flower, which he ground into pollen. He mixed the pollen with the water boiled from the medicinal herbs and fed it to the roundworms.
Repeat this several times. After the drug power is completely absorbed by the roundworm, place the roundworm outside Mr. Wang's anus and crawl inside.
This measure is indeed effective, and Mr. Wang's condition is getting better day by day.
......
Li Changxiao was surprised. This self-sacrificing doctor was indeed quite something. This method of treatment was the first time he had seen it.
He continued reading.
It was the second day after Mr. Wang got better.
But the situation took a turn for the better.
The abscess that had disappeared inexplicably grew back again. Not only that, Mr. Wang also developed a tumor on his back, and his hair fell out in clumps, making him look almost unrecognizable.
What's worse is that as the disease worsens, the wild boar roundworms that have crawled into the body cannot be excreted, causing the condition to worsen again.
and so……
The doctor ran away.
Leaving a letter was also to prevent Zhang Mo from mistakenly thinking that he was the murderer. He didn't want to be hunted down.
Zhang Mo frowned. The disease in the city was still spreading. If there was really no other way, she could only go to the Huoqian Sect.
However, Li Changxiao was looking elsewhere.
"This disease..."
His brows gradually became serious.
It reminded him of the sins that had plagued him and the long-lasting illness he was suffering from.
There was a sharp gleam in Li Changxiao's eyes as he looked at Old Man Wang who was lying half-dead on the boat.
"Incurable?"
