I saw Yunwen opening her mouth and about to bite me, so I quickly reached out and held her chin, using the old trick to deal with her.
I remembered that everything mentioned in the burned fragments of the Milong Camp was true. For example, the various characteristics of the white demon during the plum rain season were all true, and the description of the Taiqiong Cave in Clawlong Mountain was also true. That means the fragments can be verified. In that case, it said that the supreme treasure in the cave can prolong life and protect against demons. That should make sense, right?
Although Yunwen's case is not a demon, but her consciousness is controlled by a virus, it is worth a try. Ancient people described all the inexplicable and indescribable things as demons or monsters. Therefore, when someone gets sick, many folk practices usually think that the child is possessed by a demon, and they will ask a shaman to perform a ritual.
But in fact, to be honest, most of them, not all, should be able to be diagnosed by modern medicine, such as intestinal infections, fungal infections, viral colds or various diseases. Therefore, in ancient times, viruses were sometimes treated as demons and called demons in remote areas.
Since this is the case, why not give it a try to see if the "demon" in Yunwen can be removed?
So, I raised the glowing blunt sword and placed it in front of Yunwen's eyes. A magical scene appeared. Yunwen immediately widened her eyes, which were filled with red veins, and stepped back in fear when she let go of her hand. Unexpectedly, she covered her eyes with her hands, fearing the light.
I remember that viruses are afraid of light only when they are exposed to the outside, but not when they are tightly wrapped in skin and flesh. I have verified this for a long time, otherwise the monster Joseph would not have killed the nine-tailed white fox in broad daylight.
"It works? It seems that this piece of broken iron really has the same effect as the sword used by the Taoist priest in my hometown to perform rituals." I said with a smile.
Yunwen was so scared that she ran backwards in a strange posture and even began to be afraid of me. Now it was my turn to chase her. I hurried over and knocked her down. She let out that tearing cry like phlegm from her throat again, and seemed particularly terrified. I imitated the Taoist priests in my hometown in the countryside and stabbed the sword next to her on the ground, making the sword finger (also known as the sword gesture) with my hand.
That is, straighten the index finger and middle finger together, bend the ring finger and little finger, and press the thumb on the nail of the little finger, so that the fingers are like swords out of the sheath. I don't know if it works, but I recited: "When the soldiers fight, they all line up in front."
I followed suit and used my sword finger to draw four vertical and five horizontal lines in the air, but I only learned the basics and didn't know the rest, so I didn't know if it would work. I then shouted, "All demons retreat, broken!"
Unexpectedly, at this time, the blunt sword began to move on the ground on its own. I was extremely surprised, after all, my hands did not touch it. Not long after, I heard Yunwen screaming heartbreakingly with her mouth wide open. She screamed in waves. If I didn’t know, I would have thought I was doing something bad.
I wanted to let her go, but I felt like something was moving inside her body, and heard a squeaking sound. Could it be useful?
In this case, I could only continue to hold her down, and the noises inside her body became louder and louder, and Yunwen's screams became louder and louder. I thought about not calling back the group of gorillas. Last time, it was not the four-armed white ape or the chimpanzee with thick arms that hit me, so my arm was hit but not broken or fractured. But if it happens again, and it is one of them that hits me, I can't guarantee that my arm will be broken.
So I let her go, but she no longer needed me to hold her down. Instead, she opened her mouth wide, and her throat made gurgling sounds. She kept dry heaving, and with a vomiting sound, she vomited a mass of black stuff, then fell to the ground, holding her chest, and fainted.
The black ball left its host and lay restlessly on the ground, yet at the same time it was afraid of the warm light emitted from the blunt sword. It changed back and forth, twisted and deformed, turned over and over, restlessly, and finally let out a sharp and fierce cry. It exploded and turned into a pool of black liquid, slowly sinking into the soil.
I was shocked. I had to rely on injecting vaccines to prolong Yunwen's life. Some guys even used genes from mice and cockroaches to fight against it with vaccines, but it was all in vain. I never thought that now I just need to use such a blunt sword like scrap metal to crack this problem and let the virus organization fully disintegrate autonomously.
This really is true that appearance cannot be judged.
Although I don't know the principle, it has made me look at this blunt sword with new eyes.
I hurried over to check Yunwen's breathing. Her breath was weak, but at least she was alive. I breathed a sigh of relief. In the end, I had kept her safe and protected her life. I had never broken my promise. In the end, she did not leave me and could continue to travel with me on this deserted island, and I didn't have to think about committing suicide.
"God is merciful and kind-hearted. Good people will be rewarded in the end. Yunwen, you are so lucky." The gloom in my eyes disappeared and I said with a smile.
But now my body feels a little weak, and my left shoulder is still painful and swollen. I can't carry Yunwen back. Just when I didn't know what to do, I heard footsteps on the ground, which sounded like the sound of hooves. Until that figure appeared under the moonlight, I immediately let down my guard.
The one coming was the horse, Sanfu! It must have heard Yunwen's screams just now, so it came here after hearing the sound. It was not far away and returned here again.
Now it’s done, all done!
I stood up and stroked its head. It shook its mane impatiently and still didn't like me very much.
"Yunwen is left to you. My shoulder is injured, so I'll need you to help carry Yunwen back to the post station later." I said.
I picked up Yunwen and let her lie on the horse's back. Then I pulled out the blunt sword on the ground, shone the light, and led the way in front. Although there were no reins, Sanfu knew how to follow me.
After exiting the dense forest of monkeys, the road ahead was much easier to walk on. We could slowly return along the trails we had left. But we were worried about attacks from wild jackals, wild dogs or wolves. They usually come out late at night, and if they attacked, Yunwen, Sanfu and I would all be eaten to death.
However, I don't know if it was because of the warm light from my blunt sword, although I could see the dark green eyes lurking in the darkness along the way, they just looked at me from afar and didn't dare to approach. Perhaps they thought I was holding a torch and were afraid. Besides, I didn't see any wolf feces when I came here, so this area was probably not their hunting area. Therefore, I didn't encounter any smart hunters like wolves, so I got through this section safely.
After walking on the mountain road for an unknown amount of time, we finally walked out of the forest area and returned to the foot of the lonely peak of Shuitan. We also quickly returned to the post station. I opened the door of the post station, led Sanfu in, closed the door, carried Yunwen off its back, and went up to the second floor of the post station with the help of the light from the blunt sword, and placed her on the bed.
Her breathing was weak and her high fever had not subsided. In addition, the bumpy journey had made her condition worse. I didn't know how to boil medicine, so I could only simply go find some mountain spring water, take off my underwear, soak it in water, and wrung it dry to reduce her fever. I also found a stainless steel pot to boil some warm water for her and let her drink it first.
The so-called boyfriend’s secret weapon is the omnipotent warm water. No matter what disease you have, warm water will be of some use.
After that, I put some wheat straw and young grass, as well as mountain spring water, in the trough for Sanfu. Then I was too tired to open my eyes. I saw that the blunt sword actually began to glow faintly. I don't know if I was not conscious enough and saw it wrongly.
I didn't have time to think about all this. My eyelids were fighting for a long time. I climbed to the second floor with my last bit of consciousness and lay down next to Yunwen. I couldn't care about anything anymore and fell asleep, unconscious.
