"Since medicine doesn't work, then use poison." Xu Tianze's affirmative tone and the light in his eyes shocked Old Qi.
He naturally knew what method Xu Tianze was talking about, but that method only appeared in ancient books. In the five hundred years of inheritance in the Valley of Divine Doctors, only his ancestor had managed to succeed once.
It is often said that there is no chance of survival in ten deaths, but there is one chance of survival in nine deaths. So how can it be used lightly?
Thinking of this, Qi Lao directly refused and said that there was no such method at all. However, he ignored the sharpness of Xu Tianze and Long Musi.
Xu Tianze had been staring at Old Qi since he started talking, and naturally he would not miss Old Qi's fleeting surprise and hesitation. Since Long Musi cared about Xu Tianze, how could he not notice Xu Tianze's abnormality?
Following Xu Tianze's gaze, he naturally noticed the unnatural look on Old Qi's face. However, based on his understanding of Old Qi, that method must be extremely dangerous, otherwise Old Qi would not have missed the opportunity to save him.
"Aze, we."
"Your Highness!" Xu Tianze interrupted Long Musi directly. He knew what Long Musi wanted to say, but he didn't want to listen at all, and he would not miss this opportunity.
Xu Tianze shook his head at Long Musi and tried to struggle to get off the bed. After several failed struggles, Long Musi couldn't bear it anymore and helped Xu Tianze get off the bed.
Xu Tianze got off the bed and knelt in front of Elder Qi. Elder Qi immediately dodged and said, "Even if you kneel for eternity, I won't agree. Do you think that as long as you kneel, others will agree?"
Elder Qi hated to see patients torture themselves, and Xu Tianze's already frail condition made him even more disdainful. He would have preferred not to save him if he had known this would happen. It was truly annoying to see a man of such stature kneel down on command.
Xu Tianze didn't say anything, but just bowed. How could he not know that his behavior was coercive, and he did it in such a contemptible and despised way.
Since he was young, he relied on the love of his family and never bowed his head to others. Even if they were princes or princesses, he did not need to be too afraid.
Because he had the Xu family and his father and brother, even if he really got into trouble, he would be safe. At most, he would be punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall and copying poems and songs.
But now he only has himself and his nephew left. His pride, his self-esteem, and his sense of shame were completely crushed yesterday.
Others often teased him about his pride, saying he would never kneel before anyone other than his parents or the royal family. But in less than two days, he had broken the joke. He couldn't even remember how many times he had knelt in those two days.
He only remembered kneeling from the west to the east of the city, from the north to the south, and then from the palace gate to his own mansion. Even though his knees were bruised and his steps were difficult, he did not seek the slightest protection for his father, brother, or family.
Now he knelt down to beg Elder Qi again, truly incompetent. But this would be the last time, the last time he would kneel down and beg. As long as it could keep him alive, he would gamble everything to restore the Xu family's reputation and trample all those people under his feet.
Xu Tianze reassured himself, his voice weak yet resolute: "Ancient texts record that the Divine Doctor Valley has a secret method that can use poison to prolong a person's life. During this period, the person's life is not only normal, but they can even hear and see clearly, and their understanding is extraordinary."
After saying this, Xu Tianze bowed again and said, "Please, Master Qi, save me."
"You are so stubborn!" Old Qi snorted coldly and walked to the window and stood there with his hands behind his back.
The secret method is like a young bird on a branch. It seems to have hope of soaring into the sky, but in fact, the nest has long been shaky and will not give it any chance to learn to fly.
"That secret method sounds mysterious, but it's nothing more than injecting a deadly poison into the body every day, turning a person into a poisoned person. Not only will they suffer the pain of the poison gnawing at their bones every day, but they will also be tortured by ice and fire every month during the full moon."
"So what if you have sharp eyes and ears? So what if you have extraordinary understanding?" Elder Qi turned and looked at Xu Tianze who was still kneeling. "What's the point of living like this, a life worse than death?"
"Yes!" Xu Tianze raised his head, his gaze not flinching at what Elder Qi said. "I don't know about others, but I know that as long as I can kill my enemy and protect my nephew, then even if it means a life worse than death, I will be happy."
Xu Tianze's determined gaze made Old Qi a little shaken. He had also met such a person when he was young, and he had also asked him to use this vicious secret method in the same way.
The woman said that she was going to die soon, so since there was hope she was willing to give it a try, but the final result was not satisfactory.
Mr. Qi still can't forget the way the woman begged him to kill her, and the words "I'm sorry to disappoint you" she said when she died in his arms.
Old Qi wiped the moisture from his eyes under the pretense of turning his head and looked at Long Musi who had been silent beside him. After all, Long Musi was his master, and Xu Tianze had a special relationship with Long Musi. As long as Long Musi did not agree, he would not use this secret method.
Long Musi naturally didn't want Xu Tianze to use this secret method to prolong his life. What Old Qi said made Long Musi heartbroken just by listening to and thinking about it.
Not to mention actually doing it to Xu Tianze, but he has no way to really stop Xu Tianze.
Just as Xu Tianze understood him, he also understood Xu Tianze. Xu Tianze was now on the verge of collapse. If he did not follow his obsession, Xu Tianze would not be able to survive for another day.
It is a difficult decision to choose between spending the last moments with your loved one and watching his vitality slowly fade away or watching your loved one suffer day by day.
"We can wait and see, what if there is another way?" When Long Musi said this, he couldn't believe it himself, but he had to say it.
What if? What if there really is another solution?
"Your Highness." Xu Tianze turned around and smiled at Long Musi, "You understand me."
There was no long speech or hysterical questioning. Xu Tianze, with a pale face, just said to Long Musi, "He understands him."
The two of them had been together for so long, and in Xu Tianze's eyes, they were not only close friends, but also brothers and even family. How could Long Musi not understand his determination?
Moreover, if there really was another way, how could Elder Qi, as the last survivor of the Divine Doctor Valley, assert that there was no other way? Even this secret method was something he had forced upon himself.
Long Musi sighed and nodded with difficulty to Mr. Qi, tacitly agreeing to this matter.
Elder Qi had no choice but to go down and prepare. Before leaving, he saw Xu Tianze still kneeling and shook his head: "Don't kneel, get up. You are suffering from a heart attack. Using the secret method is already far-fetched. If it hurts your body, it's better not to use this secret method."
"Your Highness, we need to prepare the materials and the place. I need to take this young master away from Shangjing City in three days." Before leaving, Qi Lao seemed to remember something and bowed to Long Musi. "I will have acupuncture once a day to help stabilize the condition, and then I will leave."
"Leaving?" Long Musi looked at Xu Tianze, then at Qi Lao, "Where to?"
