When it came to business, she immediately told the teacher everything about her great-grandfather's condition.
Seeing the teacher's increasingly frowning face, she knew that the teacher might also find this matter strange.
Bai Lirui thought for a moment and suddenly walked to his bookshelf.
I kept rummaging around inside, and finally found an old-looking book in the corner.
"Come and take a look."
She felt a little surprised. Could it be that the teacher still had relevant information here
When I got closer and took a look, I saw that on one of the pages of the old book, there was an old incident from an unknown date recorded.
One winter, an epidemic broke out in a small village somewhere.
This disease spread extremely fast, and within a few days, almost everyone in the village fell ill.
But strangely, another village only a few miles away from the village was safe and sound.
And in the village, all those who married from outside were spared.
But after this incident happened in the village, almost everyone of that surname died.
Later, a doctor also went there to investigate the matter, and only one conclusion was reached. It may be that there was something wrong with the family's bloodline, which led to this incident.
"Look, are the symptoms recorded above somewhat similar to those of the Gong family?"
She turned over and read it over and over again. It said that when those people got sick, they would first fall into a coma, and finally die of exhaustion in a state of confusion.
There were some records on it that speculated on the reason, and they actually said that it was a nightmare, so it was difficult to wake up.
It seems that the reason why those people became ill at that time may no longer be verified.
"So, it is indeed because of the special bloodline of the Gong family. However, it only records that the family was exterminated because of this, but there is no treatment method."
Bai Lirui could understand her urgency.
This student of his values love and justice, so naturally he will not watch the Gong family members die from this illness.
So, he will also do his part.
"No, you ignored one of the details. It also said that the village next door has no influence. The two villages live next to each other. Do you think they will not intermarry? Moreover, you have come into contact with those who can Is there something that makes the Gong family sick? Let me ask you, are there any abnormalities in your body?"
She shook her head, but then her eyes suddenly widened, as if she remembered something.
"Gong Ping is the descendant who is responsible for taking care of our great ancestors. He is also a legitimate member of the Gong family. If that thing really only affects the Gong family's blood, then he should also be affected!"
Bai Lirui raised his eyebrows. It seemed that his student's head had finally regained its composure.
"That's the truth. Your body is somewhat special, so you can probably ignore the effect of this drug on you. But others can't, so I think that although it is a disease caused by blood vessels being stimulated, there should be other reasons. exist."
"However, great-grandfather was very wary of Lin Mengwu and Gong Tu before. Besides the people they brought with them, many people in the house were devoted to great-grandfather and the others. Now they want to eat and drink in great-grandfather's house. It’s hard to do anything here, let alone in the past. Unless, unless great-grandfather and the others do it voluntarily?”
She thought about it carefully, and it seemed that it was not impossible.
However, it was impossible for Great Ancestor and the others to predict in advance that Lin Mengwu would have something in his hands that could make them sick.
It seems that the truth of the matter can only be known after great-grandfather and the others wake up.
"I can't help you with those intrigues, but if you want to cure the Gong family, my teacher can help you."
Bailirui didn't want to put his beloved disciple in trouble, so he took over the matter even though he knew nothing about it.
Lin Mengya felt warm in her heart. She took the teacher's arm and thanked him softly.
"Thank you teacher. As expected, I can't leave the teacher's protection. It is the teacher who loves me the most. I will definitely be filial to you in the future."
Helplessly, she nodded the younger student's forehead. This girl is always trying to find ways to make him, an old man, run around.
"Okay, it's enough for you to be less angry with me."
"How can I not? I am a good student who respects teachers the most."
"You haven't yet? If you don't make me mad to death, that's because you are too generous!"
Seeing the teacher trying to blow his beard and glaring at her again, she immediately gave up on asking for help.
"Okay, okay, you are big-hearted, and your prime minister's belly can hold a boat, is it possible?"
Bailirui rolled his eyes at her and continued talking about business.
"No matter what we think, since we are trying to cure diseases and save people, at least I should be allowed to see it with my own eyes."
She nodded and took out the handkerchief with something on it.
"I almost forgot, I found this thing in the Gong family. I saw Shangguan Qing sprinkle this thing on great-grandfather and his family's pillows. Teacher, have you ever seen it?"
There wasn't much powder on her handkerchief. Fortunately, after she came back, she packed it in a box, and there was still some residue on it.
Baili Rui took it, checked it over and over, and finally dipped a little powder into it, put it under his nose and smelled it, and finally dipped it in with his tongue.
"Teacher, be careful!"
She was naturally worried about the things Shangguan Qing used to harm people.
But there was some doubt in the teacher's eyes.
"This thing seems to be just the calcined ashes of some kind of vegetation."
Xiaoyao has also identified this point before.
But if it was just plant ash, why would Shangguan Qing specifically sprinkle it on his great-grandfather and the others? Moreover, it seemed that Shangguan Qing also treasured this thing.
"However, there are some other things mixed in."
The teacher's words made her secretly surprised.
You know, the analysis results of Xiaoyao are already the most detailed.
"Teacher, do you know what it is?"
But the teacher frowned, thought for a long time, and finally said hesitantly.
"My master once told me. The most poisonous thing in the world is not the poison that can harm the human body, but the hopelessness that consumes the human heart."
Looking at the teacher, it seemed that he was reminiscing about the past. Lin Mengya did not interrupt and listened quietly.
"I remember that it was a few years before Master passed away. One day, he brought something back from outside. Master said that this thing was called 'hopeless'. I asked Master what the use of this thing was, but Master shook his head. , said nothing. Finally, he also trained me to be able to identify this thing. He also said that if I encounter it in the future, I must stay as far away as possible and hide as far away as possible. He said that once this thing gets on it, it will make people become human. It is neither human nor ghost. The most vicious thing is that it can completely destroy people's hearts. It is the most vicious poison in the world. I asked him how toxic this poison is and what kind of reaction the poisoned person will have. But Master refused to say anything. You brought it today, and I thought about it for a long time before I thought of it."
Hopeless, this name sounds like an unbearable suffocating feeling.
"But why can't I feel its poison? Teacher, has my master ever said what's the cure for this poison?"
When the teacher heard this, he sighed, shook his head and said with a bitter smile.
"It just so happens that I am the same as you. Although I can recognize this thing, I am not aware of its poison at all. But Master also mentioned that if you want to undo this poison, you must rely on the power of the human heart."
"Human... heart? No, are you using human hearts to make medicine? That won't work. I can't do this!"
Bai Lirui almost laughed angrily when he saw her shaking her head in rejection and looking like she wouldn't do it even to death.
He poked her little head hard, which was always thinking wildly. Could it be that in her eyes, his master was the kind of quack doctor who talked nonsense
"You, let me tell you what you want? My master means that this thing must be solved by the patient's own strength. If you do this again, watch out for me to clean up the door!"
After Lin Mengya was threatened, she held her head and did not dare to continue to cause trouble.
According to the teacher, in other words, can the effect caused by this thing be cured by itself
She suddenly thought that maybe the effect of this thing was temporary.
Because if it was possible to make great-grandfather and the others unconscious forever in one go, why would Shangguan Qing need to secretly make up for it
After clarifying her thoughts, she felt suddenly enlightened.
Before, because there were too many things to do, and they were related to the life and death of her family, she ignored many details.
"Hey, thank you teacher, for letting me figure out a lot of things."
If this kind of poison is staged and can be recovered on its own strength, then the family will definitely be fine.
The Gong family can have nothing, but the courage and determination deep in their bones will never be lost.
"Well, even though I say that, we shouldn't act rashly. With my master's intelligence, I can't guess the toxicity of this poison. Besides, now, it's hard to say whether Lin Mengwu and the others will have any other tricks. What if you act rashly? If you act like this, it will be your great-grandfather’s life that will be ruined.”
"I know, don't worry, teacher. Now that I have a direction, I won't be wandering around like a headless fly. The most important thing now is to find out how Lin Mengwu and Guan Qing are doing this besides this poison." What kind of methods have been deployed on my great-grandfather. In this way, I will arrange it and find a way for you, teacher, to see it with your own eyes."
Baili Rui nodded slightly. This girl, once she has an idea, is more decisive than a man.
"Go ahead. If anything happens, just send someone here to look for me. I've heard about you. Wen Yu Pavilion is always crowded with people. If you're not used to it, just move here. Although I don’t have peerless martial arts, ordinary people can’t easily enter my yard.”
She looked at the worry in the teacher's eyes and couldn't help but feel warm in her chest.
"I know, my teacher is the most powerful, the Poison Saint! If you tell me, I will scare those young people to death!"
