Phi-Fic Chapter 162 Ghost Doctor Night Crow
Chapter 162 Ghost Doctor Night Crow
Xin Baicao was not surprised when she heard this, she just smoothed out the wrinkles on her clothes:
"That's fine. He was originally a wanderer in the world of martial arts. It's his blessing to find his love in this world."
As he spoke, he picked up a square box from beside the thatched cottage and walked straight to the place where he had pounded the pills.
Wen Yanzhao watched Xin Baicao carefully place the hundred or so pills into the square box.
"Senior is really good to this disciple. I guess these pills are prepared for Sikong Changfeng."
Xin Baicao responded while tending to the work in her hands:
"Yes, it has been almost a hundred days since he left Tianqi. After taking these medicines, his illness should be cured!"
Wen Yanzhao secretly sighed in his heart that Sikong Changfeng could indeed be called the luckiest man in the world of young white horses.
He entered the martial arts world at a young age and met a close brother (Baili Dongjun). When he was seriously ill, he was saved by himself and his uncle who warmed a pot of wine.
He was recommended to Yaowang Valley by Wenhujiu, and was rescued by Xin Baicao, the world's best doctor.
He also found a beautiful wife in Tianqi City and eventually gave birth to a heroic daughter...
Think again about the unlucky guy Ye Dingzhi, who was orphaned when his family was broken up, and who met Yi Wenjun when he was young and eventually died because of her.
All I can say is that if you compare yourself to others, you will die, and if you compare goods to others, you will throw them away!
Xin Baicao put away the square box and looked up to see Wen Yanzhao, who was lost in thought:
"Hey, Wen family kid, what are you planning?"
Wen Yanzhao withdrew his thoughts after hearing this:
"I didn't think much of it. I just felt that Sikong Changfeng was lucky!"
Xin Baicao laughed:
"I think you have a good life. Would you like to consider becoming my apprentice and become a world-renowned doctor... a poison doctor?"
Wen Yanzhao pulled over a small bamboo stool and shook his head.
"I don't want it. Senior, you've finished your work now. Why don't we get down to business?"
Xin Baicao also pulled over a bamboo stool and sat opposite Wen Yanzhao, staring at him intently and saying:
"You came to Medicine King Valley this time, you must be here for the legendary medicine man technique. Is what I said... true or not?"
Wen Yanzhao did not deny:
"Now that we've spoken, I have nothing to hide from you, Senior. I'm here for the art of making people into medicine!"
Xin Baicao glanced towards the valley entrance, then turned around and frowned:
"There are more than one or two people in the world who covet this technique. If they all come to me to ask for this extremely evil technique of making medicine men, I'm afraid Xin Baicao will never have a day of peace again!"
Wen Yanzhao nodded and said slowly:
"Yes, this art of medicine can subvert the country and the court, but the senior is pure and does not want to be disturbed by worldly desires."
"That's why he has been living in seclusion in Medicine King Valley all year round!"
Xin Baicao took out a piece of black Sophora flavescens from his bosom, sniffed it and snorted coldly:
"Now you know why I set up that poisonous miasma in Medicine King Valley!"
"Originally, I could have relied on this poisonous miasma to live peacefully here, but now you've sucked it all up... Tell me, how are you going to compensate me for this?"
Wen Yanzhao scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
After all, it is a sin to take something from someone and suck it away from them. After thinking for a while, Wen Yanzhao's eyes turned and he said:
"Senior, why aren't you afraid of being poisoned when you go in and out of Medicine King Valley?"
Xin Baicao put down the bitter ginseng root, took out a blue-gray pill from his sleeve and said:
"Hey, this is my unique secret recipe - poison-avoiding pills!"
"Take this pill and you will be immune to all poisons and can freely enter and exit that poisonous miasma. What else do you think?"
Wen Yanzhao took the pill, put it to his nose and sniffed it, his face lit up with joy:
"Sophora flavescens, Herba Lycopodii, Cynanchum multiflorum, Paridis odoratum... and there seems to be a kind of wild yam that takes ten years to mature..."
"No, Senior, you've added a medicine that I can't smell. Otherwise, the regular herbs above wouldn't be enough to remove the poison and ward off the filth!"
Xin Baicao looked at Wen Yanzhao with appreciation:
"Not bad, not bad. Your nose is as useful as that of my worthless disciple Sikong Changfeng!"
"But you guessed wrong, the last flavor is not herbal!"
Wen Yanzhao put the poison-repelling pill into his mouth without thinking:
"Ah? What is that..."
Xin Baicao was about to stop him, but unexpectedly, the boy had already chewed it in a few bites!
"You little brat, why are you eating everything? Aren't you afraid that the poison in your body will be eliminated?"
Just as Xin Baicao finished speaking, the system prompt in Wen Yanzhao's mind also sounded -
[System: Detected that the host has taken Xin Baicao's secret poison-avoiding pills, which may cause the host's cultivation to decline!]
Wen Yanzhao's face turned green instantly, and he dug his throat and spat out all the anti-poison pills he had just swallowed!
Xin Baicao couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh:
"Hahahaha... I told you kid not to eat carelessly, okay? Now let's remove your poison skills as well!"
Fortunately, Wen Yanzhao vomited in time and did not cause any major impact. He wiped his mouth with an embarrassed look and said:
"Luckily, I vomited in time, otherwise the poison miasma I just inhaled would have been in vain... But I did taste the key to Senior's anti-poison pill!"
"The key ingredient isn't actually herbal medicine, but a type of bamboo charcoal that's been calcined and ground into a fine powder!"
Xin Baicao said softly: "That's right, go on!"
Wen Yanzhao: "If my guess is correct, it should be a kind of peacock bamboo recorded in our Wen family's poison manual! This kind of bamboo is cool in nature and sweet in taste, and is the best antidote for bamboo snake venom!"
"We have it in Lingnan too, and my uncle once told me that if this thing is calcined into charcoal, it can cure all kinds of poisons, except for the venom of the bamboo leaf green snake!"
"I don't know if what I said is right..."
Xin Baicao's eyes suddenly lit up:
"Yes, you can be considered to have inherited the true teachings of the Wen family!"
"But this detoxification method of burning bamboo charcoal is not my work, and the medicine man technique you came here to ask for..."
"It's also his masterpiece..."
Having said this, Xin Baicao suddenly stopped, his eyes froze, as if he remembered that person.
Wen Yanzhao asked tentatively:
"The person you are talking about must be your junior fellow apprentice, Ghost Doctor Night Crow!"
Xin Baicao's face was filled with indescribable regret and sorrow. He stood up and walked to the fence alone and sighed:
"That's right... We have three heroes in Medicine King Valley. Besides me, there's also my junior sister Yi Bian Suchen and my junior brother Ye Ya!"
"Among the three of us, the most talented is undoubtedly Junior Brother Night Crow. However, he has always disregarded the sect's rules and behaved erratically. If he hadn't mastered that evil technique, he wouldn't have been expelled from Medicine King Valley..."
As he spoke, Xin Baicao turned around and looked at Wen Yanzhao:
"When he was expelled from Medicine King Valley, he was probably only a few years older than you!"
Wen Yanzhao remained silent, quietly listening to Xin Baicao's story of the past:
"I'm proficient in pharmacology and good at preparing medicinal materials; Su Chen is skilled in acupuncture and has the medical skills to cure all diseases; Ye Ya is gifted, and both pharmacology and medical knowledge are superior to me and my junior sister!"
"Ye Ya loved his first wife dearly, but fate always plays tricks on people! His wife fell ill and could not be cured, even in Medicine King Valley, a place where talented doctors gathered, there was still nothing he could do!"
"In the autumn of his twenty-first year, Night Crow watched his beloved die before his eyes. Overwhelmed with grief and trauma, he fell into the spirit realm. From that moment on, he began researching medical techniques that could reverse life and death..."
"That's the medicine man technique you're looking for!"
After hearing what Xin Baicao said, Wen Yanzhao couldn't help but sigh:
"It seems that all of Shaobai's tragedies are due to his love-brainedness!"
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly!
Xin Baicao looked towards the west of the thatched cottage and sighed again:
"Back then, the tiny country of Western Chu was able to resist the Beili, who was dozens of times more powerful, for many years. It was all thanks to my junior brother's medicine man technique!"
"However... this evil spell will turn a person into a walking corpse, and they will only obey the orders of the person who administers the medicine."
"The medicine man transformed by this evil magic does not need to eat or drink, does not feel pain, and does not feel tired."
"And their strength and speed also surpass those of ordinary people, which is why they were used in war by Western Chu."
Wen Yanzhao couldn't help but ask:
"So, the technique of making medicine men that the Confucian Immortal Gu Chen possessed was obtained from Night Crow?"
Xin Baicao nodded:
"That's right. After Night Crow was driven out of Medicine King Valley, he went to Western Chu. I don't know exactly how the Confucian Immortal obtained it!"
Wen Yanzhao held his chin with one hand, thought for a moment and asked:
"So, Senior, you still have the formula and method for administering the medicine?"
……
(PS: In the Young Song, Night Crow was adapted into a middle-aged aunt, which I find very offensive!)
(Ye Ya is clearly a pure love warrior, and a handsome guy at that! So I will follow Zhou Mu Nan’s original work here, please don’t be misled!)
