Chapter 217: Wind Horse Ox
Qi Yunzhe's eyes flashed, and he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go find Chi Muzhen. Your family has connections in the judicial organs of Rongcheng, so it would be more appropriate for you to stay in Rongcheng and help Yunting."
"Well, that's what I thought too. That's decided then."
In the next few days, one of them set off for Licheng, while the other started to find a way to rescue Huo Yunting in Rongcheng.
On the other side, as soon as the road to Yun Lao's secluded place was opened, Chi Muzhen and Xu Ye left Licheng.
It took two days for the two to reach the Medicine Valley.
Seeing them, Old Yun frowned, his eyes full of sharpness.
"What are you doing here?"
Chi Muzhen stepped forward and said, "Master, an old man who was very kind to me was poisoned and fell into a coma. You are the only one who has the herbs to detoxify him. That's why I broke the rules and came to Medicine Valley now. I hope you can help treat him. I will bear the punishment I deserve."
Old Yun glanced at the unconscious Old Mrs. Huo and frowned unconsciously.
"Put her down on her back first!"
After taking Mrs. Huo's pulse, Mr. Yun's expression turned extremely ugly. "Did you give her the blood lotus to eat?"
"Um……"
"You are simply! I really don't know what to say to you. That was the only blood lotus, and you gave it to her, you..."
He had originally thought that Chi Muzhen might be able to withstand the punishment with the Blood Lotus, but now...
"Master, saving people is the most important thing now!"
Old Yun sighed and said nothing more. He prescribed a medicine for Old Madam Huo.
After drinking the medicine, Mrs. Huo's face finally became less gray and more rosy.
"The herbs you want just ran out not long ago. Go to the mountain and get them yourself."
Upon hearing this, Xu Ye's face suddenly fell. When he was studying medicine, what he hated most was going up the mountain to collect herbs because he would always encounter snakes. He was not afraid of snakes, but he hated the slippery feeling of snakes. Just thinking about it would give him goosebumps all over his body.
Chi Muzhen, who was standing by, remained calm and nodded, saying, "Okay, I understand."
"Go gather herbs first. You'll receive your punishment when you come back!"
Chi Muzhen didn't say anything, just put on the basket for collecting herbs and walked up the mountain.
Xu Ye touched his nose, his eyes wandering around, not looking at Chi Muzhen.
"Junior sister... well, I won't go with you to collect herbs. I'll help you keep an eye on Old Madam Huo here and make sure her condition doesn't get any worse."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked on the butt by Old Yun.
"We don't need you here. Go get some herbs for me. I'll write you a list right away. If you don't get all the herbs on the list, you won't have to come back!"
Xu Ye: “…”
He was really shot while lying down.
You can't avoid it, you really can't avoid it.
Holding the list, the two walked towards the back mountain.
Elder Yun looked at the two men's backs, sighed, stroked his gray beard and said, "It seems that what is coming cannot be avoided. We must go back in the end."
When Chi Muzhen and Xu Ye came back from collecting herbs, it was already dark.
Xu Ye's hair was messy, his face was covered with scratches, and his clothes and pants had several holes in them. He looked like a refugee.
In comparison, Chi Muzhen was much better. Although her hair was a little messy, her clothes were still neat and she had no injuries on her body.
Elder Yun glanced at Xu Ye and said calmly, "Go wash your hands and then come to eat."
After saying that, he looked at Chi Muzhen again, "As for you, come in with me."
Chi Muzhen followed Elder Yun into the pharmacy. Elder Yun took out a black pill and placed it on the table. He said calmly, "This is the Hundred Poison Pill, made from hundreds of poisons. Anyone who takes it will feel as if thousands of ants are gnawing at their heart at midnight. It will be worse than death, and the pain will be more intense every day than the day before, lasting until the day of death.
Your senior brother committed suicide because he couldn't bear the pain. Now you have violated the rules of Medicine King Valley. If you want to save Old Madam Huo, you must take this Hundred Poison Pill.
The rules of Medicine Valley have been passed down for thousands of years. The condition for Old Yun to become the owner of Medicine Valley was that he must abide by the rules of Medicine Valley.
Even though Chi Muzhen was his most proud disciple, he could not make an exception.
Chi Muzhen was silent for a few seconds, then picked up the Hundred Poison Pill and swallowed it.
Elder Yun sighed and said slowly, "If you had the Blood Lotus, you could have alleviated this pain, but now you can only endure it."
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips and said word by word: "This is my own choice."
"Let's go out for dinner."
After dinner, Xu Ye quietly pulled Chi Muzhen aside and whispered, "Did the master just tell you about the punishment?"
Chi Muzhen nodded. "Well, I'm fine. Master told me to grind the medicine after dinner. I'll go over first."
Knowing that she didn't want to say what the punishment was, Xu Ye didn't ask any more questions and just sighed.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, Chi Muzhen suddenly felt pain all over his body in his sleep. The pain seemed to come from the gaps between his bones, making him feel excruciating.
She was awakened by the pain, and curled up like a shrimp. Cold sweat broke out all over her body, and she bit her lower lip hard to prevent herself from making a sound.
The moment the heart-wrenching pain ended, Chi Muzhen almost fainted. He looked like he had been fished out of the water, and his face was terribly pale.
Her lower lip had been bitten long ago, but she didn't feel any pain at all. She just felt very tired and lost consciousness as soon as she closed her eyes.
The next morning, I was woken up by the sound of birds.
She sat up slowly. When the poison took effect last night, her consciousness had become blurred by the end, and she didn't even remember when she fell asleep.
After staying in the Medicine Valley for a few days and seeing that Old Mrs. Huo's complexion was getting rosier day by day, Chi Muzhen finally felt that the suffering she endured every night was worth it.
On the fourth day, Chi Muzhen suddenly received a letter.
After reading the letter, her heart sank unconsciously.
The letter was from Duxie, reminding her that the agreed deadline was coming soon and asking her to go to Licheng to meet him.
The fact that Poison Scorpion was able to send the letter to Yao Valley shows that he knew his whereabouts very well during this period. It seems that there is really a terrifying intelligence network behind him.
Chi Muzhen did not waste any time and went straight to say goodbye to Mr. Yun.
After waking up, Old Mrs. Huo will have to recuperate in the Medicine Valley for at least a month before she can fully recover. With Old Yun, Yun Ling and Xu Ye here, she feels relieved.
Knowing that she was about to leave, Mr. Yun handed her a box in a bad mood.
"Here are the painkiller pills I made these past few days. They should ease your pain. Take one every three days. Ten pills are enough for a month. Come back in a month and I'll give you new ones. I'll also teach you the prescription then."
Although Mr. Yun was angry, he still felt sorry for her.
Chi Muzhen took the box, smiled and nodded, "I knew that Master was the best to me."
Old Yun snorted coldly, turned around and went straight back to the pharmacy.
The moment he turned around, his expression became extremely solemn.
There is no antidote for the Hundred Poison Pill, and as time goes by, the person who takes the Hundred Poison Pill will suffer more and more pain. It is unknown how long she can hold on.
Chi Muzhen packed up her things and went to the kitchen to say goodbye to Yun Ling and Xu Ye.
Knowing that Chi Muzhen was leaving, Yun Ling's eyes immediately turned red.
"Senior Sister, you finally came back, why are you leaving so soon?"
Chi Muzhen smiled and touched her head, then said, "Don't worry, I'll be back in a month at most."
After finally coaxing Yun Ling into submission, Chi Muzhen asked Xu Ye to take good care of Old Madam Huo and then left Medicine Valley.
Before going on the mission with Poison Scorpion, Chi Muzhen found a public telephone booth and planned to call Huo Yunting to tell him that he had found a way to cure Old Mrs. Huo.
However, after calling several times, no one answered.
Poison Scorpion's men beside him said impatiently, "Are you done yet? Our plan this time is very important. If we delay, you won't be able to bear the consequences!"
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips and said nothing, then called Huo Yunting again.
"beep……"
