Jiang Yunzi suddenly recalled a distant memory from more than ten years ago.
Xie Ling stared, "Master, is my father's illness related to Mingyue Island?"
Jiang Yunzi nodded, "Yes. Your father's illness is actually a poison. It's not accurate to say it's a poison. It's more like a man-made curse... Anyway, it's a secret technique created by the owner of Mingyue Island, my senior brother, eighteen years ago."
Jiang Yunzi paused, with an apologetic look in his eyes.
"In fact, I also participated in the development of this secret technique, but I didn't know what it was used for at the time."
"Secret technique, Mingyue Island?"
Xie Ling's thoughts were in turmoil. "Did Emperor Wei Zhao ask you to develop it?"
Jiang Yunzi nodded, "I don't know what benefits he gave to my senior brother that made him, a person who transcends the world, willing to help him develop this vicious secret technique."
Xie Ling looked anxious, "Can it be cured?"
Jiang Yunzi paused for a moment, "This spell was created to kill people, so even my senior brother probably doesn't have an antidote. But you can take it to him to see, and be quick. You've also seen how strange this secret spell is. I can only suppress it for about half a month, and we must go to Mingyue Island immediately."
Xie Ling took a deep breath, "Okay. Master, I want to ask you, why didn't I find out before?"
Jiang Yunzi sighed, "Don't talk about you. I was the one who created this secret method. I didn't figure it out. This secret method is called puppet. It extracts tens of millions of fine threads from the thousand-leaf white lotus and implants them into the human body. There is no abnormality at all, and it has a long incubation period.
Because this magic is so vicious, my brother destroyed it after reaching a deal with Emperor Wei Zhao. If I hadn't seen it today, I would have forgotten about it."
Xie Ling stretched out her hand and lowered her eyes to look at the silver thread she had just picked up.
It is very thin, almost transparent in the sunlight and almost invisible, but it is extremely tough and cannot be torn apart.
Xie Ling used just a little force, and the thin threads embedded into her fingers, causing her to feel a sharp pain and blood oozing out instantly. Soon, her entire palm was bright red.
Jiang Yunzi was sharp-eyed and shouted, "Don't move! How did you pick this up when I wasn't paying attention? Throw it away quickly, it's very sharp. If it gets stuck in the skin, it will be difficult to pull out, and it will grow wildly when it comes into contact with blood, and then it will spread throughout the body."
Xie Ling threw it away obediently, raised her eyes, her eyes red, "Master, I just touched it with my hand and it hurts so much, then my father......"
Jiang Yunzi felt distressed, "Alas... This matter is also Master's fault. Such a secret technique that harms people should not have been created. I should have——"
Xie Ling interrupted Jiang Yunzi's self-blaming words, "Master, you don't have to blame yourself. No one can predict what will happen next. I'll go get ready, and we'll set off to Mingyue Island every day."
Xie Ling turned around, and finally couldn't hold back her tears, which burst out and fell down her cheeks.
Whenever she thought of her father going through such pain, she wanted to rush to Wei Zhao's palace and cut that damn emperor into pieces!
At the same time, she began to doubt the world.
What is almost impossible in modern medicine is happening now.
There is always a difference between the medical skills of this era and those of modern times.
Xie Ling made up her mind.
This time when I go to Mingyue Island, I must study medicine well and never let any of my relatives suffer such a disaster again.
Xie Ling cleaned her hands and adjusted her facial expression before she went over and patted An Xuetao on the shoulder. "Mom, we are going to a place to treat Dad's illness tomorrow. Please pack up and leave early tomorrow morning."
An Xuetao still had tears on her face. She nodded vigorously after hearing this, "Okay, as long as I can cure him, I'll go anywhere."
Gritting her teeth, An Xuetao said word by word: "A Ling, tell me seriously, can your father's illness be cured?"
Xie Ling smiled gently, "Of course, don't worry."
An Xuetao finally felt relieved. "Okay, I'll go pack my things. By the way, isn't Qianniang getting married? Let's not talk about this matter for now, so as not to affect their emotions. This is the only time in a lifetime, and we can't ruin it because of us."
"I know mom, go ahead."
After Xie Ling finished speaking, she took out the painkiller from the space and injected it into the vein on Wei Xiuchu's neck.
Staring at Wei Xiuchu's pale face, Xie Ling felt a pang of pain in her heart and turned her head away abruptly.
I just touched the silver wire lightly, and I felt the pain deep in my bones.
And in Dad's body, there are tens of millions of such threads, which may be entangled in his heart and various organs of his body...
Hopefully the painkillers can ease the pain a bit.
Xie Ling's lips turned pale. She supported herself on the ground and stood up, wanting to look for Gu Wei.
As soon as I reached the door, it was opened from the outside and Gu Wei was standing behind it.
Seeing Xie Ling's pale and haggard face, Gu Wei's eyes showed worry: "A Ling, what's wrong with you——"
Before she finished her words, Xie Ling fell straight into Gu Wei's arms. She pulled Gu Wei's sleeve and said, "Let me lean on you for a while."
Gu Wei looked around the courtyard and when he saw the unconscious Wei Xiuchu, he already had some guesses in his mind.
He patted Xie Ling's back gently and coaxed her in a gentle voice: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
After Xie Ling recovered her composure, Gu Wei asked, "What's wrong? I just found out you were not here, so I came here to look for you."
Xie Ling took a deep breath and repeated what had just happened.
"So, I'm going to Mingyue Island."
Gu Wei's eyes were solemn, "How long will you be gone?"
