Back in the mansion, Jun Lixuan told Ling Qiyang what the emperor meant. Ling Qiyang frowned slightly, and asked in doubt: "How does the emperor know that I know medical skills?"
"Maybe the emperor said it." Jun Lixuan took the small scale for weighing medicine in his hand, and pulled him to sit aside.
Ling Qiyang shook his head, "Even the emperor doesn't know the level of my medical skills. Even if I tell the emperor, I will only go to the end. Those soldiers can't even see the truth, how can the emperor seem to guess?" Let me go as if I can diagnose the result?"
When Ling Qiyang said this, Jun Lixuan also felt a little puzzled. Qingzi is not allowed to enter the barracks, and his father called Ling Qiyang to go by name, and made an exception. He must have thought that he could do something, so he made this move. Otherwise, wouldn't it be embarrassing for him
Holding the teacup, Ling Qiyang thought for a long time in silence before putting down the cup and saying, "It might be because of Mo Yuer."
"Mo Yuer?" Jun Lixuan was puzzled.
"Do you still remember the first time the emperor saw Mo Yuer? He seemed to think of something when he looked at Mo Yuer, and he asked me to raise one for him."
Jun Lixuan recalled the scene in Yakun Palace that day, and thought it made sense.
"Perhaps the emperor knows about the existence of such things as medicine cats, so he looked at Mo Yu'er with a somewhat familiar look. Moreover, the emperor not only knows about medicine cats, but also knows what kind of people can raise medicine cats. Mo Yu'er It was raised by me, so the emperor can naturally guess how much." After analyzing this, Ling Qiyang felt suddenly enlightened.
"It seems that you really can't hide anything from your father." Jun Lixuan said.
Ling Qiyang chuckled. Judging from Emperor Yanxi's attitude, he should have no taboos about his medical skills, so he feels at ease.
The next day, Jun Lixuan took Ling Qiyang to Jun Liyuan's barracks. At this time, the soldiers were practicing, and the two entered the barracks in a low-key manner. After seeing Jun Liyuan, they went together to the place where the wounded soldiers were held.
The detainees were all ashen-faced, sitting against the wall, looking sluggish, as if they didn't even have the strength to speak.
"As Imperial Physician Zheng said, their health is getting worse and worse, and they have lost their minds since last night. Only the one who hurt someone three days ago is still awake." Jun Liyuan said.
Ling Qiyang found a nearby soldier, and knelt down to check his situation. After putting on a pair of gloves as thin as cicada's wings, Ling Qiyang felt his pulse, rolled his eyelids, and looked at the coating on his tongue. Jun Lixuan stood behind him, fearing that these people would hurt Ling Qiyang, so he guarded vigilantly.
Ling Qiyang looked over one by one, and found that these soldiers had a blue-black line above the whites of their eyes, and their tongue coating was purple, but their lips were red, which was not a symptom of poisoning.
Afterwards, Ling Qiyang went to see the mad soldier again, and found that the black lines on the whites of his eyes had turned into spots the size of rice grains, which seemed to be formed by bursting.
"See what?" Jun Lixuan asked while helping Ling Qiyang hold the medicine box.
Ling Qiyang took off his gloves, and said to him and Jun Liyuan: "It doesn't look like he was poisoned, it should be a Gu."
"Gu?" Jun Liyuan frowned slightly, this kind of thing almost didn't exist in Ye country, only heard that some countries in the south had this kind of thing.
"Well. Although this kind of thing is rare in Ye Country, it doesn't mean that it can't be raised. Speaking of it, Gu is indeed magical. Different Gu can help their owners achieve different purposes. It's just that the people who raise Gu are usually Gu insects. The carrier of the Gu will also be backlashed." Ling Qiyang continued: "The Gu among them should be the corpse thread Gu, and the person who is infected by the Gu will be at the mercy of the Gu caster like a puppet. As long as he is controlled by this Gu insect once, the next We can only wait to die. Judging from their symptoms and onset time, they should not have been infected by the Gu for more than a month, that is to say, they were injected with the Gu after they returned to Beijing."
Jun Lixuan frowned, this kind of thing seemed incredible to him. And Ling Qiyang actually understands this, which can't help but surprise him.
"Actually, the original result of this kind of Gu should be to go crazy and then die slowly. As for those few people who were sober after the killing, it should be that the other party wanted to confuse your attention and make everyone think of this as a simple sleepwalking soldier. Kill people." Ling Qiyang continued: "And this kind of Gu is half transferable after a person's death, if someone collects his body or goes to check on the person's body within an hour after his death, the Gu worm is likely to crawl to the That person, and then enter his body. In this way, sleepwalking and murder will repeat.”
Jun Lixuan's face darkened, and the fingers placed by his side clenched into fists. Ling Qiyang looked at him and didn't continue talking.
It was Jun Liyuan who answered, "If they are dead, I, as the coach, will come to check if something is wrong, so that there is a chance to transfer it to me. If this matter is really aimed at me, then they really count I've tried my best."
"Third brother..." Jun Lixuan naturally understood the other party's purpose, but after hearing what Jun Liyuan said, he still felt extremely angry.
Jun Liyuan smiled, "Isn't there Qi Yang here?"
"Third Brother, don't worry, as long as you don't get close to them within an hour of their death, the Gu worms will die naturally if they can't find their body. But I'm sorry, because their corpse thread Gu has already attacked, and I have no power to recover." Actually. Regardless of whether most of the Gu worms are active or not, as long as they are taken out, their lives can be saved. But corpse thread Gu is an exception.
"You have tried your best, and it is very difficult to find out the reason. Sometimes it is God's will, and manpower cannot be violated." Although the team was only a temporary establishment, but after all it was under his own hands, he did not want to see such a thing happen. of.
"This kind of Gu is usually fed nearby. Before it enters the human body, it cannot leave the corpse. If it leaves for more than an hour, it will die. The most suitable place to raise this kind of Gu is a mass grave." I have told him in detail, although I am not as proficient as my master, but I know a thing or two, "However, it is impossible to follow the corpse thread Gu to find the person who raises the Gu, they will not return to the owner, only Can wait to die."
"Anyway, it's good to know the truth and take precautions." Jun Liyuan was very satisfied with the answer Ling Qiyang gave him.
After saying this, the group went to see the soldier who was currently conscious, and his symptoms were the same as before. Ling Qiyang asked him where he had been and who he had been in contact with in the past month. After recalling the soldiers, it was found that these people had been to a gambling house on the outskirts of the city during the New Year holiday.
Because gambling is strictly prohibited as soldiers, they can only go to the suburbs. In a place like a gambling house, there are a lot of fish and dragons, and it is too difficult to find suspicious people. However, there is indeed a mass grave at the foot of the mountain on the outskirts of the city, which is only a quarter of an hour away from the gambling house they went to.
"It seems that I have to go to the mass grave." Ling Qiyang said: "If the corpse thread Gu is really raised there, it's better to deal with it together, so as to avoid future troubles." Raising this thing can't be done in a short while. Disposing of the existing ones is enough to stop the Gu breeder for a while.
"I'll go with Qiyang. Third brother, you should go back to your residence early to rest after arranging the affairs in the army." Jun Lixuan could tell that her elder brother hadn't slept well recently, and now that she finds out the reason, she can feel relieved for the time being some.
In the afternoon, Jun Lixuan took Ling Qiyang to the mass grave on the outskirts of the city. Due to the remote location, there were few people around. Most of the people who will be thrown here are some homeless beggars, or prisoners who died in the prison without collecting their bodies, and a very small number of servants who committed crimes and were executed. These people are often picked up on a straw mat and thrown away, and no one knows who they are.
Now that the weather is cold, the decay of the corpses has slowed down, and the smell of the nearby corpses is also lighter, so it won't make people sick.
Ling Qiyang took out a hollow silver carved waist pendant containing black pills from the medicine box and gave it to Jun Lixuan, saying: "You stay on it, this hanging on your body can prevent corpse poison and Gu insects."
When Jun Lixuan took it, she smelled a strange smell of medicine, which was a bit pungent, and it was not suitable for daily wear.
Hanging the medicine box back on the horse, Ling Qiyang took a white porcelain bottle and prepared to go down and have a look. Before he took two steps, he was grabbed by Jun Lixuan, "You don't bring the fragrant medicine ball?"
Ling Qiyang smiled and said: "Those things don't dare to get too close to me, don't worry." The physique adjusted by his master is naturally foolproof.
Jun Lixuan looked at him unexpectedly, and said, "After you go back, you can also change me to your physique."
"This can only be effective if you start from an early age. If you fail, it may have the opposite effect."
Jun Lixuan had no choice but to let Ling Qiyang go by himself. Fortunately, the mass grave is not a big place, and Ling Qiyang couldn't leave his sight.
Walking down the slope, Ling Qiyang opened the lid of the porcelain bottle, and sprinkled white powder as he walked. After a while, several black spots began to appear on the white powder, as if something was crawling.
Ling Qiyang put the cap on the bottle, and took a step to the side. The white pink line was quickly covered, and then the black dots moved slower and slower, and finally stopped, forming a dead silence. What's even more weird is that those white powders seem to melt away those black spots for a while, and slowly reveal them, and then gradually change from white to red, and finally turn into a dark red, as ghostly and charming as blood.
Seeing this scene of gradual change, Jun Lixuan was not only surprised, but also deeply admired Ling Qiyang, who is proficient in this field. The compensation in this life allowed him not only to marry his own concubine, but also to get a little miracle doctor. Want to come to someone's Qingzi to marry back, not to take care of the housework like a woman, and not to go out when there is nothing to do. It doesn't look like his wife, who wants to follow him to the wilderness to deal with such dangerous things.
Ling Qiyang, who had confirmed where the Gu worm was, turned around and walked back, avoiding the place that had been stained by the medicine powder. After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, then squatted down, and lifted a bamboo mat at his feet.
Wrapped in the bamboo mat was a pale man with bruises and tears on his face. Judging from the blood-stained and torn clothes, he did not look like a prisoner. He had just stepped on the man when he heard a low groan. Out of a doctor's instinct, Ling Qiyang immediately lowered himself to check. When I checked the veins, I found that there was still breath.
"Li Xuan, come help me." Ling Qiyang shouted to Jun Li Xuan above.
Hearing Ling Qiyang calling himself, Jun Lixuan made a gesture of lightness, and came to him, "What's wrong?"
"This person is not dead yet, let's take him up first." Ling Qiyang said.
Jun Lixuan was in a bit of a dilemma, not because he didn't want to take someone with him, but because the man was seriously injured, no part of his body was intact from the whip, and all ten fingers were broken, and the other injuries are unclear. He was only afraid that if he tried hard, people would lose their lives. But when he saw the man's face, Jun Lixuan froze for a moment. He only felt that the fate was wonderful, but he didn't expect Ling Qiyang to pick this person back.
"What's wrong?" Looking at Jun Lixuan who was in a daze, Ling Qiyang patted him lightly.
"It's nothing." Jun Lixuan came back to his senses, and couldn't control that much, directly wrapped the person in the mat just now, hugged Ling Qiyang with one hand, and the man with the other, jumped up and returned to the slope.
