"Master, Brother, you are back!"
The young apprentice looked at the two people coming in from outside and said happily.
"Yeah, I've been back for a while, but I saw this young man was saving people, so I didn't disturb him."
Doctor Zhao nodded, took off the medicine box on his back and handed it to his young apprentice.
Then he looked at Lu Qing curiously.
Lu Qing was also looking at the other person.
In fact, with his martial arts skills, he had naturally noticed that there was someone standing outside a long time ago.
It’s just that saving people was the most important thing just now, so since no one came in to disturb him, he didn’t care much.
The two people who came in were a middle-aged man and a young man.
The old man has an elegant temperament, a long beard, and a gentle demeanor. He looks more like a scholar than a doctor.
The young man has a simple and honest face, and looks like an honest and decent person.
"Doctor Zhao, you're back. Old Wang was bitten by a poisonous snake. You guys weren't at the clinic. Fortunately, this young man came to his rescue and he survived. Can you tell me how Old Wang is doing now?"
Uncle Li was overjoyed when he saw Doctor Zhao coming in, and hurried forward to say.
It's not that he doesn't trust Lu Qing, but Lu Qing is still too young after all. They will feel more at ease if Dr. Zhao, a highly respected doctor, takes a look at him.
"Okay, I'll check Lao Wang's pulse, do you mind, young master?"
Doctor Zhao did not refuse, but looked at Lu Qing and said.
After all, this is his patient. If he intervenes rashly, it will easily lead to a conflict with someone who is arrogant.
"That's fine. I don't have enough experience treating patients, so it would be better if Doctor Zhao can help me."
Lu Qing didn't care about competing with his peers, but agreed readily.
Moreover, he was saving people in someone else's clinic, which strictly speaking was a taboo. If something happened, it would affect the business of the clinic.
So he was naturally happy to have Doctor Zhao take his pulse.
When Doctor Zhao saw that Lu Qing had no grudges at all, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he became more curious about his origins.
However, he was not in a hurry to ask. Instead, he came to Lao Wang, stretched out three fingers and placed them on Lao Wang's wrist.
Earlier, when he saw Lu Qing using a needle array to force the poison out of Lao Wang outside, he was very shocked and curious.
Therefore, I really want to know the current condition of Lao Wang's body.
After taking Lao Wang's pulse for a while, Doctor Zhao's face became increasingly surprised.
Because he found that Lao Wang's pulse was now very steady and strong, and his breathing was dense and orderly, and he did not look like a patient who had just been rescued from the brink of death.
Instead, he looked more like an ordinary person who had been injured and was sleeping and recuperating.
"How is it, Doctor Zhao?"
Uncle Li and others looked at Doctor Zhao hopefully.
Doctor Zhao let go of his hand and said with a smile: "This young man's medical skills are extremely advanced. Old Wang is no longer in danger. I think he should be able to wake up in a while."
"That's great."
Uncle Li and his companions were overjoyed and expressed their gratitude to Lu Qing again.
Seeing Lu Qing politely responding to the thanks from several people, Doctor Zhao also showed a look of curiosity in his eyes.
What he just said was not just a compliment.
In his opinion, Lu Qing's medical skills were indeed extremely advanced.
With acupuncture alone, a patient who was severely poisoned and on the verge of death could be brought back from the brink of death and all the poisonous blood could be forced out.
Even he could not achieve this level of medical skills.
So he was very curious about Lu Qing's background. At such a young age, he possessed such miraculous medical skills.
He had never heard of such a young talent in Zhongzhou.
"Young Master, I haven't asked for your name yet."
After Lu Qing dealt with Uncle Li and the others' thanks, Doctor Zhao then bowed slightly and said to Lu Qing.
"Doctor Zhao, there's no need to be so polite. My surname is Lu, and my given name is Qing. The situation was urgent, so I took the liberty of saving people in your clinic. I hope you can forgive me." Lu Qing also returned the salute.
"What are you talking about, young master? If you hadn't rescued him, Old Wang would have been in trouble by now. Saving lives is the most important thing, so why bother about those empty rules?"
Doctor Zhao waved his hand and said without any concern.
"By the way, Mr. Lu, your medical skills are so advanced, I wonder who your master is?"
"My master's surname is Chen. He is just an ordinary traveling doctor living in seclusion in the countryside. Doctor Zhao should not know him." Lu Qing said modestly.
But what he said was true. The master has always regarded himself as an ordinary doctor, so what he said was not considered to be a discredit to him.
"Doctor Chen?"
Doctor Zhao's mind raced, and he began to wonder if there was any great doctor in Zhongzhou with the surname Chen.
As for what Lu Qing said about traveling doctors, he naturally just regarded it as a humble word.
How could a doctor who could teach a young man like Lu Qing such superb medical skills be just an ordinary doctor?
Unfortunately, after going over it in his mind, he had no clue.
He knew many great doctors in Zhongzhou, but none of them had the surname Chen.
"By the way, Doctor Zhao, I have something else to do and cannot stay for long. I will take my leave now."
Lu Qing could see that Doctor Zhao was very interested in his background, but he didn't say much.
Instead, he bowed and prepared to leave.
"My dear, are you leaving so soon?" Doctor Zhao was surprised.
"Yes, I have other things to do, so I won't bother you, Doctor Zhao. By the way, Master, if you can, please try to get all the herbs on my list. I'll come and get them tomorrow morning. Here's the deposit."
Lu Qing took out a silver ingot, placed it on the counter, and then left.
However, before leaving, he took the jar of poisonous blood with him.
Doctor Zhao originally wanted to persuade him to stay, but Lu Qing's agility was so amazing that although he seemed to be walking slowly, he had actually left the clinic and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
When Doctor Zhao saw this, he understood that this mysterious Mr. Lu was not only a skilled doctor, but also a powerful warrior.
"Alas, how come this young man passed away so soon? We haven't even paid his medical bills yet!"
Uncle Li and his companions were dumbfounded when they saw Lu Qing leave so suddenly.
Doctor Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "Xiaoyi, what medicinal herbs does Mr. Lu want to buy from us?"
"Master, that young man wants to buy a lot of things. Oh, he left a list."
The young apprentice ran back to the counter, picked up the list of medicinal materials that Lu Qing had given him, and handed it to his master.
Doctor Zhao quickly glanced at the list and said, "These are all herbs for reducing inflammation, swelling, and treating external injuries. This is a prescription for regenerating tissue and healing wounds. Is anyone among this young man's companions injured?"
After leaving the clinic, Lu Qing noticed that it was completely dark outside.
It seems that he spent a lot of time rescuing people, and I don’t know if Master and the others are getting impatient.
Lu Qing thought to himself and quickened his pace, walking towards the inn.
Still holding the pottery jar containing the poisonous blood in his hand, he waited until he reached a corner and made sure that there was no one around. Then he slipped into the dark and put the pottery jar into his Qiankun Yiqi bag.
The reason why he wanted to take the jar of poisonous blood away was because when he was forcing the poison out of Old Wang, he had used his supernatural powers to detect the source of the poisonous blood.
As he expected, the snake venom in Lao Wang's body was not ordinary snake venom.
Instead, it was the poisonous evil spirit that was born from the mutated and transformed rat snake after it inadvertently absorbed and refined the evil spirit.
The toxicity of this poison is very strange. Although the effects are not rapid after entering the human body, it is extremely difficult to deal with.
It can completely penetrate into the human internal organs and is extremely difficult to eliminate.
If it weren't for his acupuncture array technique, which was not an ordinary technique, it would have been difficult to force all the poisonous blood out of Old Wang's body so easily.
More importantly, this poison has a terrifying characteristic, which is that after it comes into contact with blood, its toxicity will not weaken, but will gradually change the properties of the blood and become a toxin similar to itself.
In other words, the half jar of poisonous blood forced out of Lao Wang's body is now not much weaker than the original snake venom.
If an ordinary person touches it, he will most likely be poisoned again, and thus be invaded by the snake venom and produce new snake venom.
This is a bit like the zombie poison in the movie in the previous life, which can spread forever.
So in order to avoid this kind of thing from happening, Lu Qing simply took all the poisonous blood away, and then found a way to destroy it later to prevent future troubles.
After collecting the poisonous blood, Lu Qing walked on the road in silence.
Although he saved a life today, he did not feel relieved, but rather heavy.
He and his master had speculated before that the change in the rules of heaven and earth might bring more than just the revival of spiritual energy.
Along with the revival, there may be various terrible things such as evil spirits, demonic energy, poisonous gas, etc.
People like Mo Zhen from Liuyun Sect, didn't they become so inhumane because they practiced evil spirits and demonic energy?
But what happened today made him realize that evil spirits and demonic energy affect not only humans, but also all other living things in the world.
For example, those poisonous insects, snakes and scorpions that are powerful in themselves will become even more terrifying if they get the chance to refine the evil spirits and demonic energy between heaven and earth.
At that time, if ordinary people were not careful and encountered it, they would probably have difficulty surviving.
Just like Old Wang today, if he hadn't met him, he would have died a violent death.
“Jiuli Village is located in front of the deep mountains. There are countless ferocious beasts and poisonous creatures lurking in the 100,000 mountains behind the village.
What if there are poisonous creatures or ferocious beasts, like the elaphrodite, that have the luck to mutate and attack the village?"
When Lu Qing thought of this, he became a little confused.
Before coming to Zhongzhou, he didn't know that the changes in Zhongzhou had been so huge, which caught him off guard.
“According to what we have seen and heard along the way, this revival of spiritual energy is clearly spreading from Zhongzhou to the surrounding states.
Our Cangzhou is located in a remote area, almost the farthest from Zhongzhou, so it shouldn’t develop to the point where everything changes so quickly.
So, there is still time.”
Lu Qing thought secretly.
Jiuli Village is the village where he has lived since he came to this world.
The people in the village are all very simple and honest, and he has long regarded it as his hometown.
So he would never watch it being destroyed.
So he decided to rush back after things in Zhongzhou were settled, at least to ensure the safety of the villagers.
Thinking in his mind, Lu Qing slowly returned to the inn.
As soon as I entered, I saw Master and the others sitting there, with a lot of dishes on the table.
"A Qing, where have you been and why did you come back so late?" asked the old doctor.
If he hadn't known Lu Qing's abilities and learned from the shopkeeper that Lu Qing went to buy medicine, he would have gone to find him himself.
"I went out to look for a pharmacy to buy some medicinal herbs, but I encountered something on the way and was delayed for a while."
Lu Qing calmed himself down, smiled, and roughly recounted what had happened in the clinic.
Everyone then realized that Lu Qing went to buy medicine and saved a person in the process.
The others didn't say anything, but after Hu Zezhi finished listening, he looked at Lu Qing with admiration in his eyes.
She felt that Mr. Lu was truly kindhearted, as he had saved another life so easily.
Only the old doctor frowned after listening to Lu Qing's story.
"Ah Qing, according to what you said, the man was poisoned by a rat snake, but when did the poison of a rat snake become so strong?"
"This disciple is also a little strange, but I brought some poisonous blood forced out of the injured person's body. After dinner, Master can take a look to see what the mystery is." Lu Qing said.
"Oh? You brought back poisonous blood? That's great."
The old doctor's eyes lit up slightly. He has always been very interested in things related to medicine.
So after dinner, Lu Qing took a small bottle of poisonous blood, went to his master's room, and taught him.
"Master, this poisonous blood is very strange. It can gradually change the blood of the human body without damaging its own toxicity. You have to be careful."
"Is there such a strange poison?" The old doctor looked stern.
“So I suspect that this is not just ordinary snake venom, but a poison mixed with evil spirits…”
Lu Qing told his master all the information he had discovered using his supernatural powers, as well as some of his own guesses.
The old doctor's face finally became serious.
"Yes, according to what you said, it is very likely that the elaphrodite was blessed with evil spirits, which is why the snake venom mutated and became so difficult to deal with."
“Master, the world is changing and everything is transforming. Poisons like this evil spirit will probably become more common in the future.
In the face of such toxins, ordinary detoxification prescriptions are unlikely to be effective.
If there are more poisonous creatures like the mutant rat snake, the people of this world will probably suffer even more."
Lu Qing expressed his concerns.
"You are right." The old doctor stroked his beard, looking pleased. "Ah Qing, you can say these words and worry about the health of the people. You have deeply understood the spirit of us doctors."
"Master, you are too kind. I don't have such a broad mind."
Lu Qing smiled. He didn't have the kind heart like his master.
He only thought about the people he cared about.
"But you don't have to worry too much. Everything in this world is in accordance with the laws of mutual promotion and mutual restraint, and mutual assistance of yin and yang.
This is the principle of all things. Even if the spiritual energy is revived, it will not go beyond the scope of this truth.
Although the poison of this evil spirit is powerful, as you said, everything is changing nowadays, and there may be medicines that can restrain it.
What we need to do is to find such a method, organize it into a prescription, and spread it out so that when people in danger, they can have a prescription to rely on and not be left without any hope of survival.
This is the responsibility and meaning of our existence as doctors.”
Seeing the master's serious look, Lu Qing's face also became solemn: "Yes, disciple understands."
"Well, let's first study what's so strange about this evil snake venom."
When the old doctor saw that Lu Qing listened to his words, he immediately smiled.
However, just when the master and disciple wanted to study the snake venom together.
Suddenly, they felt a throbbing deep in their hearts.
Between heaven and earth, an extremely loud voice rang out. (End of this chapter)
