Chapter 210: Buddha's String Antidote, Divine Calculation
Ji Suxian ran away with the person on his back. Twelve came back to his senses and followed closely.
Xiao Qingxu's speed was not as fast as Ji Suxian's, so he stood still and slowed down.
Although I don't know who Master Shanhe was in the past, he knows witchcraft and even accepted my younger sister as his disciple, so he wouldn't stand by and watch someone die...
Xiao Qingxu moved his stiff fingertips and raised his eyelids to look above.
It will be dawn in two hours.
He looked back at "Xiao Tong" who was still struggling, and a bloodthirsty gleam flashed in his eyes.
"Xiao Tong"'s strength seemed to have weakened after the poisonous insect left her body. She was nailed to the tree trunk and could not move. Her mouth was firmly stuck by Twelve's long knife, and she could only make low roars like a beast.
Looking at "Xiao Tong's" hideous and ugly posture, Xiao Qingxu felt nauseous.
The secret method of the Gu beast...it's really disgusting.
"Aying."
Lu Heying replied: "Don't worry, this man will be chopped into pieces along with the bugs."
Xiao Qingxu's voice was as cold as winter: "You can start over there too."
He wants to destroy Xiao Tong.
Lu Heying was stunned for a moment, then reacted and nodded.
"good."
"master!"
At this time, Master Shanhe and Yuan Ji were detoxifying monks and pilgrims. When they turned around, they saw Ji Suxian rushing in carrying someone on his back.
"She was bitten, why won't the bleeding stop?!"
Upon hearing this, Master Shanhe felt something was amiss and immediately handed the medicine to Louke and strode towards Ji Suxian. Yuan Ji also hurried over after handing the medicine to Louke.
Ji Suxian slowly put the person down, and Twelve carefully supported him from the side, then took the person into his arms.
Master Shanhe half-knelt down, and seeing Shang Yuwan struggling to breathe, he didn't care about the rules between men and women, and directly placed his fingertips on her wrist. Seeing Shang Yuwan's bloodless face, Yuan Ji's face turned pale instantly.
"?!" Master Shanhe frowned, "Why have you eaten...that thing?"
Shang Yuwan, who was still somewhat conscious but still breathing faintly, asked: "......?"
Twelve was extremely anxious: "What is that thing? Will something else happen?"
Ji Suxian didn't understand either, but now was not the time to dwell on it. "Master, don't worry about it for now. She's been bleeding since she was bitten, and if this continues, she'll be dead!"
Master Shanhe asked Lou Ke to bring a bowl of medicine and slowly fed it to Shang Yuwan.
Shang Yuwan drank half a bowl and spilled half a bowl. His breathing became a little steadier, but the bleeding rate did not slow down much.
"That's strange! Since you've eaten that thing, it shouldn't be useless." Master Shanhe's face was wrinkled like old tree bark. "Who bit her?"
Twelve's condition looked even worse than Shang Yuwan's. "It's Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Shang Yuwan had already exhausted most of her physical strength due to "Xiao Tong", and was completely defenseless against Xiao Qinggu, which is why she was bitten by the mentally ill Xiao Qinggu.
Master Shanhe asked, "Has she been subdued by you? Bring her here for me to see."
Although a person infected with the secret Gu beast technique would produce some trace amounts of toxins in their body, it was unreasonable for a person who had taken the antidote to not even be able to stop bleeding. Shang Yuwan's body was fine, so the problem must be with the Gu worm in Xiao Qinggu's body.
Did Xiao Tong make some improvements? The secret technique of the Gu Beast is a treasure of the alien race, how could she have such power?
This seemed to be somewhat different from the sub-Gu he remembered? The sub-Gu of the Gu Beast Secret Technique could only suddenly increase a person's physical strength, equivalent to making a weak woman able to uproot a weeping willow. When did it become so strange as to cause the wounded to bleed profusely?
Twelve was silent for a moment, then said, "She regained consciousness and escaped before being controlled a second time."
"What?!" Master Shanhe turned his head and looked at her, "Regained consciousness?!"
Master Shanhe's expression suddenly became extremely terrifying, and Ji Suxian was startled. "Master?"
“—Ah.” The expression on Master Shanhe’s face softened. “I’m sorry, I couldn’t control myself.”
Ji Suxian: "...Let's find a way to stop the bleeding first."
She couldn't figure out what was wrong with Shang Yuwan. Although there were hints of poisoning, she couldn't pinpoint the source. To her, the secret technique of the Gu Beast was like a blank sheet of paper with a speck of ink on it.
Master Shanhe was about to speak when Shang Yuwan suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes.
"long.......!"
Shang Yuwan felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on her heart, forcing her to breathe, "The Princess... Mansion!"
Master Shanhe looked down at her and said, "Since Her Highness has been poisoned, the eldest princess holds her precious chess piece in her hand and will not let anything happen to her in the short term. You should take care of yourself more."
Putting aside the secrets of the Gu beast technique, he felt the wound looked familiar, as if he had seen it before at the hands of a great insect master. But when he thought about it, he couldn't quite place it. He had been in Dayu for many years, and over time, he couldn't even remember the faces of his old friends.
"Girl, are you familiar with the way to the palace?"
Master Shanhe looked at Ji Suxian and pointed at the guests in the back who were busy giving medicine to monks and pilgrims. "My medicine can stop the bleeding a little, but if I give it all to Miss Shang, those people won't be able to get rid of the poison. If you want your friend to save his life for the time being, it's best to go to the palace and find the emperor and ask him to hand over the poison to Miss Shang to take, and see if you can buy some time."
His Buddhist beads were made of medicinal materials. As long as the poison lasted less than a day, boiling them into a decoction would cure the poison. He remembered that Emperor Chengming also had a copy of the antidote.
Xiao Tong, who didn't know where he got the information from, actually asked Mo Ran to come and ask for the antidote. However, Xiao Tong probably didn't know what the antidote looked like, nor how long its effect would last, so Mo Ran just asked him to hand over the thing, but didn't pay attention to the Buddhist beads he kept in his hand every day.
"Delaying time?" Xiao Qingxu hurried over, carried on Lou Ke's back. "Master, do you have a way to save her?"
Master Shanhe glanced at Xiao Qingxu, then at Shang Yuwan, "Of course. You can take my belongings to Wandu Mountain to find Poison Granny. Once she sees the belongings, she will naturally know what to give you."
That lord was truly foresighted. No wonder he'd said anything to protect him and Yuyu. Was he waiting here? But that lord was truly formidable, proficient in divination and fortune-telling. Even a powerful figure like Emperor Chengming was willing to build the Wentian Pavilion for him.
Yuan Ji watched for a long time and finally said the first sentence: "Why?"
Master Shanhe turned to look at him: "Why?"
Xiao Qingxu frowned and asked, "Why are you helping us?"
The world is bustling with activity, and only those who are in a position of advantage can move forward. Master Shanhe possesses extraordinary skills, so it is impossible that he treats him this way just because Shang Yuwan donated some incense money to Jinfu Temple?
Master Shanhe lowered his eyes and fixed them on Shang Yuwan, who was gradually losing consciousness. "Because Miss Shang is her child."
Everyone was frozen.
As soon as Master Shanhe finished speaking, Twelve handed Shang Yuwan to Ji Suxian's arms, reached out and drew the long sword of the guest closest to her. In the blink of an eye, her sword was pointing straight at Master Shanhe's throat, but stopped at the moment when it was still one centimeter away from his throat.
A tiny scorpion had climbed onto Twelve's shoulder at some point, its stinger emitting a cold green light. If her blade had been any closer, the scorpion's stinger would have pierced her neck.
"She's that man's daughter. Even if the poisonous old lady has been in hiding for years, she will definitely help you. You don't have to worry about being harassed when you ask her for medicine."
But if it were someone else, they would probably be poisoned into a puddle of mud by Yu Yu.
Wen Qijun's assurance saved both his and Yuyu's lives, but it was also Wen Qijun who prevented them from ever seeing each other again. If it weren't for Madam Lu Xu's mediation, Yuyu would have long since destroyed herself, along with the Ten Thousand Poisons Mountain, which had been reduced to rubble.
Xiao Qingxu was so nervous, how could he not recognize who this "Shang Yuwan" was? In fact, ever since Shang Yuwan returned to the capital, rumors had been circulating that she was the Princess Qi who had faked her death, but they were suppressed by Emperor Chengming and never made it to the surface.
Master Shanhe's expression was indifferent as he slowly pushed away Twelve's long sword. "I don't want anything. I just want to live a good life in Jinfu Temple. You don't have to think that I will harm her."
"She is the only relic left by that man. Even His Majesty is very tolerant of her, isn't he?"
