Chapter 65 Are you awake?
Shao Fei was forced to take Lin Du and his group to visit his fellow disciples.
There is no fire-bed in the side room, which is not a big deal for a cultivator, but one can still smell the gloomy and cold air blowing towards him as soon as he enters the room.
There was a person curled up on the bed. No sunlight could penetrate. The room was dark, and the person curled up inside looked even darker and more gloomy.
Yuan Ye couldn't help but raised his hand and waved it in front of his nose. Lin Du's expression remained normal, but he glanced at the small window above him thoughtfully.
A group of six mermaids came in, turned from guests to hosts, lined up in front of the bed, and looked down at a mass of something on the bed.
The man wanted to pretend to be asleep at first, but the pressure from the six gazes was too strong, and even these people were still chattering.
“Is that thing on the bed a person?
"You are still sleeping in the broad daylight. Don't you want to get up and meditate to heal your wound? Is your injury too severe?"
"Daoyou, are you awake? We are disciples of the Supreme Sect. Let us take a look at your injuries."
"Is he already unconscious from his injuries? Then why don't you go ahead and hold him down, Senior Sister? We will be responsible for holding him down."
The person on the bed suddenly turned around slowly, opened his eyes, and then faced six expectant faces.
"Daoyou, are you awake?"
"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Yuan Ye rubbed his hands and looked at the man's neck.
The monk suddenly felt a chill on his neck. Just as he was about to speak, a woman said, "Wait, let me ask about your symptoms first."
Although Xia Tianwu, who learned from Jiang Liang, did not pay much attention to the patient's oral description of his condition, he still had to follow the necessary procedures.
The man curled up and said, "My illness is not something that can be cured by ordinary doctors. Please don't bother with it."
Lin Du raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it caused by a monster? Is there anything that can't be cured?"
The man froze, and Shao Fei spoke, "Indeed, but that monster is not an ordinary monster, it is a black snow green snake. Although I forced the poison out of it in time, the remaining poison will take some time to dissolve."
"Snow Green Snake? That thing actually still exists?" Yan Qing frowned in disbelief. "I thought such a poisonous creature..."
Lin Du narrowed his eyes, "Tian Wu, be careful of the poison."
Xia Tianwu paused as he stretched out his hand. "Please stretch out your hand, fellow Daoist."
The man glanced with a complicated expression at the group of people gathered in front of the bed. There were so many of them that Shao Fei couldn't squeeze in.
The silver thread flew out from Xia Tianwu's hand and wrapped around the man's wrist. This man had an ordinary appearance, except for his extremely dark eyes.
Unlike Junior Master's pair of dark pupils, this man's black pupils revealed a strange gloom and death. Although Lin Du was gloomy, he did not give people any negative feelings. Instead, he only gave people a little heartache that made them want to touch him.
The black pupils of the man in front of me made me feel very uncomfortable, as if I was being stared at by some poisonous insect hiding in the mud.
Rao is a side sect that trains ghosts and purifies corpses, and it is very difficult to have such eyes.
The silver thread in summer hadn't even wrapped around the man's wrist, but when it touched the man's cuff, it immediately turned black.
Lin Du narrowed his eyes. This residual poison is quite interesting. It has reached the surface of the body, right?
Mo Lin spoke, "Tian Wu...if you can't do it, then don't..."
"Are you also a Gu Master?" Xia Tianwu's expression remained calm, but Mo Lin, who had known her for many years, could hear the alienation and suspicion in her tone.
"You were attacked by the worms, and the poison has entered your lungs." She said in a faint voice, "I can't save you. You either give up this technique, or...if you just suppress it, it won't work."
The man smiled and raised his hand.
The five people from the Supreme Sect all grasped the handles of their weapons, and even Yuan Ye took out a bowstring.
The silver thread was cut off from the middle section that had not turned black by the spiritual power wielded by that person. Xia Tianwu directly dropped the silver thread in his hand and pressed down on the shoulder of Lin Du who was already using his spiritual power.
"It's okay." She said calmly, "He can't hurt anyone."
That was the maximum strength he could exert. The more spiritual power he used, the faster the poison would spread, unless he really wanted to die.
Lin Du silently took back his spiritual power.
"There is a pill here that will save your life if you give up the technique and reverse it. It's up to you whether you want to use it or not."
Xia Tianwu took out a pill. Lin Du took a glance and knew that it was indeed the pill she had made herself, and it was extremely rich in fire spiritual power.
Her strange fire can naturally defeat evil spirits and can burn away all the remnants of disease. This is why she has always been obsessed with using her own strange fire to refine pills.
That strange fire is a spiritual creature that was born from heaven and earth, and it is the original source of the fire attribute condensed in the world.
Once he can fully utilize the strange fire, Xia Tianwu will surpass Jiang Liang and become the most suitable person to refine elixirs and save lives.
The monk hesitated, but Shao Fei's voice suddenly rang out again, "Thank you for your concern, Daoist friend. This skill of using a dragon is not your forte. When we return to southern Yunnan, the elders will come to rescue us. I believe Qi Zhun will survive. It is normal for those who learn from a dragon to suffer backlash."
She continued softly, "I wonder if you have any medicine that can temporarily relieve the symptoms. I don't want to see my fellow disciples suffer so much."
Yan Qing suddenly spoke up, "You do understand the ethics of fellow disciples."
The man thanked Xia Tianwu for his kindness, then just said he wanted to rest and asked the man to leave the house.
Six people went out of the door, and the last one, Yuan Ye, closed the door, leaving Shao Fei, who was a step slower, with a cold shoulder.
Lin Du walked in front with his arms folded. He lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time before speaking in a deep voice, "Why would Feixing Sect recruit Gu Master?"
Among the three sects, six schools and ten schools in Zhongzhou, Feixing School is one of the six schools and is also considered a large school. It is particularly good at refining weapons and observing the stars and fortune-telling.
The others naturally noticed something strange. Mo Lin pondered for a moment, "The Feixing Sect is in southern Yunnan. Most of the Gu Sects are separated by villages and passed down from generation to generation. They don't communicate with the outside world, let alone join other sects."
"It's a bit strange. I will inform the master."
Yuan Ye asked in a low voice, "Yan Qing, what on earth is that green snake?"
"A special kind of venomous snake from the deep mountains. Once poisoned, a person will freeze inch by inch and then slowly lose their life, almost like being frozen to death. Except for the black spots under the nails and the blood, the body's external signs are exactly the same as those of a person who has been frozen to death."
Yan Qing didn't deliberately lower his voice.
Lin Du heard it and continued, "Not only that, it is recorded in ancient books that the poison of this thing is one of the strange poisons, a pure ice-attribute poison. It was once hunted down by the dragon masters in southern Yunnan and trained into frost dragons. This thing is an all-purpose dragon that can coexist with any dragon, so the black snow green snake is now extinct."
Yan Qing was stunned for a moment. "I only know that this monster has disappeared. I don't know if it's because Gu Shi has been hunting it down. How do you know, Junior Master?"
"I read a book in the library. I remember it was probably Zhongzhou Fengwuzhi. This was mentioned in the snowy mountains in the southern Yunnan chapter. It is said that after the venom sac of this snake is removed and stewed into soup, it has the magical taste of ice and snow."
Lin Du took a look at them and found that the children all had expressions of admiration on their faces.
"Don't you like reading local history books? How can you travel down the mountain without knowing the local customs, specialties and precautions?"
"Not really..." Yuan Ye nodded, "I have enough homework every day, and I also have to work. When I have free time, I either meditate or fall asleep. I don't even think about reading."
Lin Du said, "The headmaster said that I only need to take care of the storehouse and repair the formations. I don't need to do farm work."
She was just a secretary in an office, and her job was to repair water dispensers, light bulbs and computers in the office.
The library is almost becoming her study.
"Yan Qingyuanye and I will go to their village and farmland to set up a simple beast-repelling formation. Master nephew, you should bring Jinxuan Tianwu with you. Give a talisman to those in the village who don't have one."
Lin Du paused, "Tian Wu, what would happen if an ordinary person came into contact with the poison in that person's body?"
"It's okay to use the cultivator's aura to protect the body. Otherwise, if you are infected, the poison will enter the body and you need to detoxify immediately. The five-flavor detoxification pills in the sect's annual ritual are enough." Xia Tian paused, "Junior Master, was there any evil aura at the crime scene?"
Lin Du met her eyes and smiled, "Then I'll have to trouble Second Junior Brother to go and take a look."
