Chapter 41 The Terrifying Imperial Physician
The scale of the dungeon is much larger than that of an ordinary prison, and the number of jailers inside is far greater than that of an ordinary prison. The jailers no longer hold wooden sticks inlaid with iron plates, but real swords and guns.
In terms of the level of security, ten prisons are not as good as one dungeon.
Although it was not as strong as the iron wall of the Heavenly Prison, the medicine box prepared by Gu Dan was also checked before entering.
"It's been a bit chaotic lately, so you still have to be careful in prison. You can give treatment to prisoners at will, just don't cause any deaths." Prison warden Liu stood next to Gu Dan, somewhat surprised by his arrival.
Today, Gu Dan has been successfully promoted to imperial physician, an official of the eighth rank, and theoretically can treat the emperor.
After three years of fighting under General Zhang and rising through the ranks, he had reached the end of his career as a doctor at this age.
This was of course inseparable from Andy Hui's care and good words, but the most important thing was that the Imperial Medical Service was indeed not taken very seriously, and promotion was of no use, it just gave some small privileges.
"I have recently been studying the medical books of ancient sages, and there are many things I don't understand. There are many martial arts masters in the dungeon, and many of them deserve to be killed. It would be great to use it to verify my medical skills and benefit the people. I am really sorry to trouble you." Gu Dan said politely, taking out a silver note and putting it in the hands of Prison Sergeant Liu.
The prison warden is also an eighth-rank official position. Everyone has his own duties and there is no so-called distinction between superiors and subordinates. Generally speaking, they keep to themselves.
Now that he needs help from others, naturally he has to lower his posture.
"Oh, you're so polite!"
Prison warden Liu reluctantly accepted the banknote and said, "How about this? I'll have someone follow you and see if there are any prisoners who don't cooperate so that they can behave themselves."
Warden Liu immediately called a prison boss and asked him to follow Gu Dan and introduce the serious criminals who were in custody.
This is a very necessary procedure. Gu Dan certainly came here not just to cure diseases and save lives, but also to take the opportunity to explore what the differences are between other martial arts masters.
As the saying goes, learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses. This is exactly the truth!
The dungeon is divided into three levels, A, B, and C, with each cell arranged according to different situations.
The prisoners in Cell A are basically doomed to die, the situation in Cell B is questionable, and Cell C is more of a punitive measure, but will hardly cost anyone their lives.
Gu Dan followed the jailer into cell C, but as soon as he entered, he couldn't help laughing.
"Why are you here?"
In the cell, a Taoist priest who looked like an immortal was sitting there calmly. He did not look like he was in prison but rather like he was out for a picnic.
The old Taoist opened his eyes and looked at Gu Dan, thinking that he looked familiar. This boy was so handsome, it was not difficult to remember, "Is it you?"
This old Taoist was unexpectedly the one Gu Dan had met at Qingfeng Temple. He claimed to be Qingpingzi's senior brother, and that he found Qingpingzi through him.
"Why is the Taoist priest in jail?" Gu Dan couldn't help but ask.
"I was just itching to set up a stall to tell fortunes for people, and was caught by chance." The old Taoist said calmly without changing his expression.
After Cabinet Grand Secretary Ying Liang submitted a memorial, Emperor Zong Ming did begin to regulate the customs among the people.
For example, swords that warriors often carry have become controlled items and must be registered with the government, and only after their origins are clearly examined and a certificate is issued can they be carried.
The alchemists of Qingfeng Temple were not spared either. They had to have a Taoist certificate issued by the imperial court to be recognized. The rest of the Taoists were either dismissed or had to find their own way to make a living, otherwise they would be treated as swindlers.
"How can you not have a Taoist background?" Gu Dan asked in surprise.
After all, he is Qing Pingzi's senior brother, how could he end up like this? "Yes, but he was slandered by someone, so I couldn't help but take action to clean him up, and then I caught him in." The old Taoist said with a gloomy face.
Gu Dan: “.”
It is indeed unusual for fortune-telling to be able to predict the consequences. No wonder he had to go to the dungeon despite his relationship with Qingfeng Temple.
"Then you take a rest first, I'll go inside and take a look."
The two of them were just nodding acquaintances, and the old Taoist obviously didn't need his help. After a brief chat, he walked inside.
After going around the entire dungeon, it was discovered that there were only two prisoners whose strength had reached the level of great success in practicing internal organs!
One of them was the leader of a bandit gang that robbed relief supplies during a disaster in Yuzhou. He called himself the Cloud Dragon God General and dared to disregard the imperial court just because he occupied a piece of water. He was thrown into a dungeon and tortured in every way. It has been two and a half years since then, and he has been tortured to the point of being emaciated and barely recognizable as a human.
Another one is a famous hero in the martial arts world, nicknamed Gongsun Yun, the Eight-Armed Heavenly Sword. His swift sword skills are feared by everyone.

Just because he had an argument with someone in the inn, he killed an entire family. He was a wanted criminal by the government and was recently arrested and thrown into a dungeon.
After all, it is not easy to achieve great success in organ training. It is almost impossible without ten to twenty years of hard practice. Such a person is not easy to find in the imperial capital, and it is even rarer to find someone who ends up in prison.
Gu Dan took out his medicine box and began to experiment with his plan step by step.
[In the thirty-third year of the reign of Emperor Zong Ming, in the dungeon, the Yunlong God General had his tendons in his hands and feet cut, his cultivation was wasted, and he was severely injured. He used three packets of Mihun Powder before he completely gave up resistance, but his physique was still incomparable to that of ordinary people.]
[Eight-armed Heavenly Sword Gongsun Yun was restrained by iron chains, and his cultivation had not yet been abolished. After taking three packets of Ecstasy Powder, he began to regain consciousness in just one hour.]
[The effect of ordinary drugs on people who have mastered the internal organs training is greatly reduced. When they are unconscious, their blood flow rate is much faster than that of ordinary people, and their body temperature rises accordingly, and it feels like burning when touched.]
[After waking up, Gongsun Yun's physical strength was greatly depleted, as if he had endured a fierce battle. The circulation of Qi and blood will spontaneously reject the disharmony in the body, showing a feeling of weakness and frailty. Other subsequent reactions still need to be observed.]
From this day on, a legend slowly began to spread in the dungeon of the imperial capital.
Rumor has it that there is an imperial physician in the dungeon. After his father was brutally murdered by a gangster, he has a great hatred for all martial arts masters. As long as they fall into the dungeon, they cannot escape the clutches of the other party.
Things like poison and silver needles are small things. The most terrifying thing is that after using the torture, they will ask the other person how they feel over and over again, and keep recording it, and then find the next person to experiment with.
Once the two people come to different conclusions, they will torture them in every way possible and will not give up until the two people reach an agreement on their statements.
Gu Dan thought he was normal. In this era, everything needed to be explored slowly by oneself. Since he didn't know which statement was right, couldn't he just experiment directly? Only by figuring out the limits of a martial artist who practices internal organs could he feel confident enough when he encountered such an enemy in the future.
The imprisoned scum has no human rights. Being able to contribute to his medical skills will also make it easier for him to treat illnesses and save lives in the future. This is a great thing that will benefit the people! (End of this chapter)
