Chapter 194 Doctor Hua's Eyes Are Blinded
Chasing Shadow sneaked into the mountains and sounded the sentry's call several times, but received no response.
According to regulations, the meeting would take place in the southeast direction every other night.
He wasn't mistaken; it was today.
After waiting for half an hour without any movement, he went down the mountain to report to Xiao Xuance.
"Something must have happened to them."
"How about I go out and look for someone again tonight?"
"It's too late, it's not safe. Let's go tomorrow."
Yun Zhaoxue has already knocked Yang unconscious, taken her pulse, and drawn a vial of blood. Tonight, she will enter the tent and then the space to use the advanced instruments inside to examine the blood composition.
Whether it's poisoning or being infected by a curse, analyzing the blood can reveal some clues.
That evening, Yun Zhaoxue analyzed Yang's blood and was almost certain that she had been poisoned by a Gu. She then consulted books and, based on her pulse and blood composition, was almost certain that it was the Heart-Eating Gu.
If she wants to remove the curse, she will have to use a knife.
The chest area is a bit tricky. The safest approach is to consult with Hua Murong and see if he has a better solution, preferably without surgery.
It would be inconvenient to undergo surgery and recuperate while in exile.
Even if there were no carriages, the bumpy ride would cause the wound to reopen, become inflamed and fester, hindering healing and causing immense suffering.
A day later, Zhuiying still couldn't contact Zhufeng and the others.
Upon arriving in Bozhou, Zhuiying finally found their whereabouts.
"Your Highness, Zhu Feng and the others have encountered trouble. They were attacked in a forest the day before yesterday. Several guards were killed, Zhu Feng was seriously injured, and Doctor Hua has gone blind."
"Who attacked them?"
"It was Doctor Hua's junior brother and his apprentice. Their goal was to seize the medical secrets of Guigu. They went all out, and Doctor Hua only managed to escape by throwing Lei Zhenzi. He was pursued by them all the way."
"According to Doctor Hua, the people of Medicine Ghost Valley are not skilled in martial arts, so how could Zhu Feng and his group not be able to defeat them?"
"They have a lot of people on their side, and they are skilled in using poison. They can also release various venomous snakes, centipedes and other poisonous creatures. It seems that they also have a master helping them. Zhu Feng and more than a dozen guards are no match for him. His skills are on par with yours."
"He also instructed his subordinates to remind Your Highness to be careful as well."
Yun Zhaoxue, who was standing to the side, said, "Take us to see him. We need to see Doctor Hua, and we'll see if we can help him while we're at it."
Xiao Xuance handed ten taels of silver to Xie Wanyun, telling her to take the others to the restaurant to order food first, and to eat as soon as the food arrived without waiting for them.
They greeted Lao Liao again, saying they were going to buy something.
After repeatedly assuring them that they would absolutely not cause any trouble, Lao Liao finally let them leave.
Zhuiying led them to a back room of an inn.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard Hua Murong cursing.
"You ungrateful bastard! Back then, he almost poisoned a living person, and it was only thanks to Master's intervention that the person's life was saved. The person's life was saved, but he became mentally impaired. It was I who pleaded with Master to spare his life, and Master expelled him from the sect."
"How could I have been so foolish as to believe he would turn over a new leaf? I should have let Master beat him to death! Sigh!"
"Divine Physician Hua," Yun Zhaoxue's voice rang out.
"Girl, girl, is that you? You've finally come." Hua Murong got up from the rocking chair, reached out to the window, and jumped out while bracing herself against the edge of the window with one hand.
His eyes were surrounded by a large bruise, as if he had been punched.
Using a bamboo pole, he lightly tapped the ground to probe his way, "Tap tap tap!!!"
With his other hand he reached forward and walked in the direction of the sound.
Seeing the mark on his eye, Zhuiying couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Pfft~"
"Chasing Shadow, you brat! I've been bullied, and you're still laughing? What's so funny? Huh!"
Zhuiying clasped her hands in apology to him, "I'm sorry, Doctor Hua, I promise I will never laugh again."
"Hmph, that's more like it."
Yun Zhaoxue also laughed, but she covered her mouth with her hand to suppress her laughter.
It's really inconsiderate to laugh when someone is suffering.
Hua Murong struggled to lift his eyelids but couldn't open his eyes. "Girl, please take a look at my eyes. Is there any way to help me recover as soon as possible? I'm going to settle accounts with that ungrateful bastard."
"Okay, let me take your pulse inside." Yun Zhaoxue pulled on his sleeve and led him into the house.
