Before they could reach the clearing, they heard wailing in the distance, and the faint cries of women and children.
The drunkard knew that the situation here was not good, so he abandoned the two girls, grabbed Mu Jingyu with one hand, and rushed to the open space in the center of the village.
When he saw clearly the tragic situation here, not only Mu Jingyu's face became solemn, but even the drunkard took a deep breath.
I saw hundreds of villagers in the entire village, all lying on the ground. Veins popped out one after another, and the whole body was surrounded by black mist. Because the poisoning was quite deep, he kept wailing in pain.
Mu Jingyu quickly squatted in front of the nearest villager, trying to check his injuries.
"Don't move! Be careful, they are poisonous." The drunkard drank Mu Jingyu.
Then he came to his side and slowly lifted the villager off the ground with his empty hands.
Having known the medical fairy for many years, Drunkard also knows a few things about medicine. It was immediately obvious that these villagers had been poisoned with an unknown poison.
He thought that the person who poisoned him was the three monsters from the Demon Cave that he almost killed with his sword just now.
Mu Jingyu looked at the painful expressions of the villagers and asked anxiously: "Old senior, how are these people? What kind of poison are they poisoned? Do you have a way to break it?"
The drunkard used his spiritual energy to explore the villager's physical strength. He shook his head slightly and said, "It's strange. Looking at his current expression, it's clear that he has been poisoned by an extremely overbearing poison. But I used spiritual energy to explore his body. circle, but no sign of poisoning was found..."
Judging from the current situation, these villagers were obviously not poisoned for a long time. If it's just an ordinary poison, the drunkard's powerful cultivation can help them immediately and force the poison out of the body.
However, the drunkard used spiritual energy to inspect the man's body and found no suspicious poison at all. Unable to find the source of the poisoning, relying on an alcoholic's half-baked medical skills, he was naturally helpless.
Mu Jingyu guessed: "Old senior, maybe what they got was not poison, but some sinister technique."
The drunkard shook his head and said: "Old Jiutou has been in the world for many years. He asked himself that he knows about seven or eight of the techniques in Jiuzhou. I have never heard of any sinister techniques that can make people show signs of poisoning. .”
"And... the spirit that just came to report the news also said it in the ears of the Withered Bone Demon Lord. They have spread a poison called Seven-Day Immortal Pill to every village within a hundred miles of Yaowang Valley. . Thinking about it, the poison these villagers were exposed to was what he called the Seven-Day Immortality."
Mu Jingyu said: "According to the old man's guess, the poison these villagers were poisoned with was this kind of Seven-Day Immortal Pill? But didn't you just say that they showed no signs of being poisoned? Could it be... …The Dry Bone Demon Lord and others said that on purpose just now, just to confuse you?"
The drunkard pondered for a moment and replied: "I think it shouldn't be the case. Every time the elixir demon seeks out the medical fairy for a competition, he will develop three new poisons and limit a very short time to let the medical fairy prepare a cracked poison. The poison is coming. And this is the Seven Days Immortal Peak, the time of death must be within seven days."
Mu Jingyu said: "Senior, since you can't detoxify this poison for the time being, you'd better rush to Yaowang Valley and ask the Medical Immortal to detoxify it."
While the two were talking, two girls stumbled over. After seeing the struggling villagers on the ground, the older girl cried out, pulled the younger girl, and scanned the villagers all over the ground.
When he saw a couple struggling painfully on the ground, he screamed for his parents and was about to jump on them.
"Be careful!" Mu Jingyu couldn't help shouting as he glanced at the two girls who were about to throw them down. The drunkard had just reminded him that these villagers might have residual poison in their bodies. Once someone was contaminated, they would immediately be as poisonous as they were.
The drunkard turned around quickly when he heard Mu Jingyu's shout. I happened to see the bodies of two girls about to fall on their parents.
The drunkard didn't have time to think too much, and a burst of spiritual energy came out of his hand. In the blink of an eye, he flew under the two girls and held them firmly.
Just a step too late, the older girl had already pressed down on the poisoned villager with her right hand.
The girl screamed, and a layer of black mist instantly appeared on her right hand, and veins of blood also appeared. It is spreading towards the top of the arm at a speed visible to the naked eye. It probably won't take a moment for the poisonous gas to spread throughout his body.
Mu Jingyu carefully avoided the villagers on the ground and came to the two girls. He first pulled the younger girl aside to prevent her from being poisoned too.
Then he looked at the drunkard who was following him and asked, "Old senior, this girl is also poisoned. What should we do?"
Listening to the girl's constant screams, the drunkard grabbed the girl's arm and condensed a small fairy sword from the palm of his hand: "Immediately cut off her poisoned arm, maybe it can stop the spread of the poisonous gas. If For a while at night, when the poisonous gas invades the whole body, there is no way to treat it.”
"Ah!" Mu Jingyu exclaimed, "I'm going to break one of her arms! Is there no other way?"
The drunkard said coldly: "Yes, we are just waiting for the medical fairy to refine the antidote. However, the new poison prepared by the Alchemy Demon is extremely weird and domineering! Even if the medical fairy can prepare the antidote, it will probably take several days. When the time comes, it’s hard to say whether this female doll will be able to hold on until then.”
Every time the Alchemy Demon competes with the Medical Immortal, he will poison the villages within a hundred miles of Yaowang Valley, forcing the Medical Immortal to prepare an antidote.
Although, every time the medical fairy can prepare an antidote at the last minute. But the delay was too long, and countless villagers died because they did not get the antidote in time.
Drunkards have experienced this kind of thing a lot. Naturally, he knew that the only way to save the girl now was to cut off her arm immediately to prevent the poison from entering her body. Although she lost an arm, it was still better than losing her life.
After hearing what the drunkard said, the girl held back the severe pain and said, "Grandpa Immortal, just go ahead and do it. I, I am willing to give up this arm to save my life."
Now, the whole village, old and young, has been poisoned. If they can't get the antidote, they will all die. The girl looked at the painful expressions of her parents and knew in her heart that if she also died of poisoning, her only sister might not be able to survive.
Although a broken arm will affect her future life. But it's better than losing your life and letting your sister live alone in the world.
The drunkard felt sad. Seeing that the poisonous gas had spread to the joints of his arms, he said in a deep voice: "Good boy, close your eyes first. Grandpa will cure you soon. Don't worry, it won't hurt too much."
When the girl heard this, she trembled with tear-stained eyelashes and closed her eyes nervously. The girl, who had been looking dull all the time, finally woke up and burst into tears.
He grabbed his sister's arm and cried out not to let her break her arm.
Mu Jingyu hugged the girl tightly and kept comforting her: "Don't worry, your sister will be fine. You have to believe in Senior Jiu..."
The drunkard didn't dare to delay any longer. He held the girl's arm tightly with one hand, condensed a small fairy sword with the other hand, and waved his hand to cut off her arm at shoulder level.
"Senior Jiu, stop it quickly!"
At this moment, seven or eight figures came flying from a distance. All of them were wearing linen and green robes, and most of them were in their thirties or forties.
The leader should be in his fifties. Seeing that the drunkard's fairy sword was about to be chopped off, he quickly stopped him loudly.
The drunkard paused after hearing this and looked at the people rushing towards him. After seeing the leader clearly, he shouted happily: "Nephew Gu, why are you here?"
The man replied from a distance: "Master got the news that there are many spirits from the Yaowang Palace, bringing the poison newly prepared by the Dan Demon to poison the villagers. Early in the morning, he ordered the disciples in the valley to disperse to a hundred miles radius of Yaowang Valley. villages, rescue these villagers.”
"When I was passing by nearby, I saw the Withered Bone Demon Lord and others leaving here. I was worried that they were poisoning the villagers nearby, so I hurried over with my people."
While he was talking, everyone had already jumped into the field. After the ancient master's nephew took a look at the girl's injuries, he pulled out three silver needles with cold light from his fingers, and pierced the girl's shoulders one by one.
As the three silver needles entered the body, the spreading poisonous gas finally stopped.
Seeing that her arm had been saved, the girl cried out: "Thank you, immortal, for your rescue. Thank you, immortal, for your rescue!" Then she pointed at the hundreds of villagers around her and begged: "Immortal, hundreds of villagers here have been attacked by monsters. They have been poisoned, please ask the immortal to save them."
The ancient master's nephew comforted her and said, "Don't worry, we people from Yaowang Valley will save and cure everyone." After saying that, he directed the disciples from Yaowang Valley who followed him to spread out to check on these people who kept wailing. of villagers.
Speaking of which, it was because of their involvement that these villagers were poisoned and suffered unreasonable disasters.
The drunkard glanced at the disciples of the Medicine King Valley and asked worriedly: "Nephew of the Ancient Master, have you all come out of the valley?"
Just now, the Withered Bone Demon Lord said that the Alchemy Demon led many spirits from the Demon Underworld Palace to besiege the Medicine King Valley. Once all the disciples in the valley are sent out of the valley by the Medical Immortal to treat these villagers who are poisoned, won't the valley's defense be empty?
The ancient nephew nodded and said: "Senior Jiu, Master, he knew that after Alchemy sent the spirits from Yaowei Palace to poison the villagers everywhere, he ordered me, Junior Sister Luo Bingning, and Junior Brother Wan Daoquan to take the numbers in the valley with them. People from hundreds of families rushed out to save people."
Gu Shakong, Luo Binning and Wan Daoquan are the three direct disciples of the Medical Immortal Sect. As for the remaining disciples, most of them were taught medical skills by the three of them.
The drunkard took a breath and said: "What's wrong! I just heard the Withered Bone Demon Lord say that the Alchemy Demon led a group of spirits from Yaowei Palace to besiege Yaowang Valley. Now the three of you have come out to save people. , then wouldn’t the defense of Yaowang Valley be empty?”
The drunkard immediately told Gusha Kong what had just happened. At the same time, he also expressed his worries.
Gu Shakong comforted him: "Senior Jiu, don't worry. Now the competition agreed between Alchemy Demon and Master has just been carried out for the first time. I think that he brought everyone here this time because he wants to compete with Master for the first time." Let’s have a second game. Even if my disciples and I are not in the valley, he would not dare to use force to force the master to hand over the first half of the ancient book."
Every competition between the Alchemy Demon and the Medical Immortal is divided into three rounds. As long as the elixir demon can win two of the competitions, the medical fairy will hand over half of the ancient book.
The drunkard thought for a moment and replied, "What the ancient master's nephew said is right. However, these spirits are poisoning the villagers everywhere and have lured you all out. Is there any conspiracy?"
Mu Jingyu said from the side: "Old senior, maybe the content of the second competition of the Alchemy Demon is this new seven-day immortal pill he prepared?"
Mu Jingyu's words woke up the dreamer, and they both let out a light sigh at the same time, both feeling that what Mu Jingyu said was right.
Gu Shakong turned to look at this handsome young man: "This young hero is very impressive. I wonder what sect you are from? Why are you with Senior Jiu?"
Mu Jingyu was immediately stopped by Gu Shakong's question. He opened his mouth and replied after a long time: "The boy's name is Mu Jingyu. He is...yes...yes..."
He spoke three words in a row, but did not tell the origin of his sect. As early as after returning to Jiuhua Mountain, he rejected Master Tianyang in Fenghua Palace and determined to break away from Jiuhua Mountain.
Gu Shakong suddenly said: "Are you Mu Jingyu? The boy who followed Mo Yunshen to rescue Bi Yun in Wuji Ruins?"
Mu Jingyu was surprised. He didn't expect that even Gu Shakong knew what happened to him in Wuji Ruins.
At the same time, he thought of Mo Yunshen who died tragically at the hands of the Mountain Elephant King, and said with a somewhat sad expression: "I didn't expect that even the ancient medical immortal knew about this boy's deeds."
"Hahaha, what happened back then caused a sensation in the entire Jiuzhou!" Gu Shakong knew that what he just said aroused Mu Jingyu's grief. After mentioning it a few times, he quickly changed the subject and said, "Speaking of which, the two of us are somewhat destined."
