Zhao Ning didn't deliberately seek the answer. Since he couldn't get the answer, he didn't force it.
Several people walked all the way to Shenshi and finally saw the gate of Yongfeng City. The gate was newly built, bright and spectacular.
Zhao Ning followed the incoming team into the city. In an instant, the mundane hustle and bustle came, which was more diverse than Guiyuan City. There were people shouting and selling, people performing and applauding, bargaining, and young children playing and chasing each other. It was a grand occasion. .
Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan had concealed their aura since they entered the city. If you didn't look at them deliberately, you would unconsciously ignore them.
But Zhang Da and others came together after all, but they would not ignore it.
Niu Qian was going to deliver the wood to the shop he had ordered in the city, and asked Niu Da to follow Zhang Jiu to deliver Yao Jiaer to the house on Dongda Street. Niu Da was a little embarrassed in the city and said he would not do it. He hated iron and could not make steel. Not to mention dragging the bullock cart away, the cow shit followed directly.
Zhang Jiu scratched his head and looked at Zhao Ning and the other two, "Those two."
Zhao Ning said, "Let's go wherever we go, thank you for seeing us all the way."
Zhang Jiu paused for a moment, then said, "Why don't you come with me? I will take you to a good place later."
Zhao Ning glanced at Zhang Jiu, who came closer and whispered, "Zhengyang Temple is holding a Taoism meeting in the city today. I will take you to see it."
Zhao Ning was a little surprised. When she saw Qin Keyuan, it was probably Zhang Jiu who saw Qin Keyuan meditating last night and thought that they were in the same way and must be believers in Zhengyang Guan.
"Brother Zhang, please lead the way." Qin Keyuan said calmly.
Zhang Jiuyi said happily, "It's easy to talk." He stepped forward, said a few words to Yao Jia'er, and then strode forward.
East Street is mostly filled with residences and high-profile mansions. There are few pedestrians on the streets. Even if there is any movement, they are mostly sedans and horse-drawn carriages.
Yao Jiaer led everyone to the governor's mansion, and knocked on the door with Zhang Jiu's jaw-dropped expression. The concierge opened the door and said in surprise, "Miss, it's eldest lady, you're back!"
As he spoke, he ran inside and shouted, but within a moment, a group of people came up, led by a middle-aged woman. The woman hurried to the door, hugged Yao Jia'er and cried bitterly, "My child, you are finally back." , but when you encounter any injury, you say you go out to pray for blessings, but you don't come back for a day. Your father is not in a good condition. If something happens to you, how will your mother survive?"
"Mom, it's my daughter's fault." Yao Jiaer's tears fell in clusters, "I didn't finish the prayer, and I made my parents worried."
"It's okay, it's okay, just come back." Yao's mother wiped away her tears and looked at Zhang Jiu who was following her, "Who is this?"
"My daughter was almost captured by bandits, but this strong man and his companions saved me."
Mother Yao quickly crossed her hands and saluted, "Thank you so much, warrior."
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." Known."
Only then did everyone in the Yao family realize that there were two more people. They were even more shocked when they saw the faces of Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan. There were only such noble and refined people in the world.
Then she subconsciously wanted to salute, but Zhao Ning stopped her and said, "We are just passers-by and have not done anything to save your daughter, so there is no need for this."
But Yao's mother was panic-stricken and turned sideways to greet them, "When you come in, please let me wait for Haosheng to entertain you."
After entering the Yao family's residence, the interior is not as grand as the main residence. There are few expensive furniture and furnishings, and it looks ordinary.
A few people sat down in the four seats of the main hall, and the Yao family served tea. It was fresh tea before the rain, which is quite rare in the world. The Yao family's attitude was honest and honest.
Zhao Ning had newly learned the Qi-watching method, and unconsciously glanced around, only to find that everyone from Yao's mother to the maids and boys had faintly dark auras, all of which were signs of impending death.
At this moment, the sight of the Qingxiao Sect's rivers of blood suddenly pierced Zhao Ning's eyes, and her emotions froze.
"Zhao Ning." Qin Keyuan's voice reached her ears, and he pressed his palm on the back of her hand.
Zhao calmed down his emotions, it had all passed, and he no longer thought about why he was still sad now after three years.
"Mom, how is dad?"
When Yao Jiaer said this to Yao's mother, when asked about Yao's father, Yao's mother's expression darkened again, and tears flashed faintly in her eyes.
"It's getting worse and worse, and now I can't even get out of bed."
Yao Jiaer was shocked, stood up in grief, and rushed inside.
Zhang Jiu stood up in panic.
"Jia'er." Mother Yao did not stop her, but apologized to the three of them, "I wanted to entertain them well, but the situation at home is really bad. Please forgive me."
She called the maid, who brought the tray, opened the red silk, and found several silver ingots in the tray.
"These are just gifts of thanks. I'm really sorry."
"No, no, no, I really don't need it." Zhang Jiu refused quickly and looked at Zhao Ning and Zhao Ning.
Zhao Ning asked Yao's mother, "I don't know what's going on with the adults in the house. We, brother and sister, know some medical skills, maybe we can help."
Yao's mother's eyes brightened, but after looking around, her eyes dimmed. After all, she didn't trust Zhao Ning and the others.
But Zhao Ning mentioned it like this, and she was Yao's mother's benefactor. She still said, "My husband's condition is really abnormal. All the doctors in the city have consulted him, but there is no improvement. I really don't know where he got the disease."
She wiped away her tears and welcomed a few people inside, "Our whole family came here with my husband to take up his post, and there was nothing going on when we were in the capital. We have only been in Yongfeng for three months, but as a result, we fell seriously ill just after arriving. Now we don't even have human form." It’s almost invisible.”
"How...how could there be such a strange disease?" Zhang Jiu trembled, but did not show any flinch.
Mother Yao was distressed, "My husband has been honest, frugal, and charitable throughout his life, but now he has suffered such a disaster."
She opened the door and heard Yao Jia'er's voice in the inner room.
As soon as everyone entered, the curtains were heavy, but they still saw the twisted and struggling figure of the big belly on the bed.
At this moment, the performances of those demonic cultivators flooded into Zhao Ning's mind like crazy, and the river of blood and the mountain of corpses once again filled his eyes.
She took half a step back uncontrollably. Qin Keyuan held her waist, lowered his head and whispered softly.
"no."
Zhao Ning grabbed his arm instead.
"Qin...Uncle Qin."
"I am here."
Chapter 144
It is undeniable that what happened back then left a big shadow in Zhao Ning's heart, but fortunately Qin Keyuan is now well. Zhao Ning knows that everything cannot stay in the past, let alone escape, so it is just a moment of fear.
She and Qin Keyuan were preparing to go in with Mrs. Yao.
But Zhang Jiu stopped him in a low voice, "The situation of the governor is very strange, you should be careful."
Mrs. Yao didn't hear Zhang Jiu's words. She had already walked into the first curtain.
Zhang Jiu's voice became softer and softer, "I heard that someone's body was alienated. It is most likely caused by some demons. Why don't we slow down and go find the Taoist priest of Zhengyang Temple to have a look?"
Zhao Ning shook his head, "We are not familiar with the Zhengyang Temple here, so we didn't know that the president would come to help us. Brother Zhang, don't worry. If you can't bear to see it, you can wait outside."
Now Zhang Jiu didn't know what to say.
Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan went in and were separated by three layers of curtains. When they opened the last curtain, they saw that Yao Cishi's belly was as big as ten months pregnant. The veins on his body burst out and spread all over his body. They climbed all the way up to his face, forming terrifying and ferocious lines. .
Next to her, Yao Jia'er covered her face and cried, while the doctor and two young men tried their best to hold down Yao Jishi.
However, the three grown men suppressed but still could not control the struggling Yao Governor. During his struggle, his shirt was lifted up, revealing a section of his abdomen. It was seen that his abdomen was swollen to the point of being transparent, covered with bloodshot eyes, and even more terrifyingly transparent. It felt like something was crawling under the skin.
"Go and get Ma Fei Powder!" The doctor roared in fear.
The apprentice beside the bed immediately responded and rummaged through the medicine box in a panic. But when he looked at the bottom of the medicine box, there was only half a pack left. A lot of it scattered through the gaps when he picked it up, but he finally handed it over. He went over and said, "Master, there is only half a pack of Ma Fei Powder left. If we run out this time, I'm afraid tomorrow will be difficult."
But now he didn't care. The doctor put the Mafei Powder under Yao's nose. Yao's struggle weakened a little, but the veins on his face did not fade at all. His whole body was twitching, and his eyes were as wide as copper bells. .
As the Ma Fei Powder gradually took effect, Governor Yao gradually became motionless and his eyes closed.
"What should we do?! What should we do?!" Mrs. Yao nervously hammered her hands beside the bed.
Yao Jiaer was about to faint from crying.
Zhang Jiu also followed in. Seeing the panic inside, he took the initiative to comfort the Yao family's mother and daughter in panic.
Zhao Ning raised her eyes to look at Qin Keyuan, and her consciousness conveyed her voice, "The condition of Yao Governor seems a bit strange. It doesn't look like an ordinary illness, but it doesn't look like a ghost is causing trouble."
"The secret is hidden in his belly." Qin Keyuan said, "It's a weird thing."
Zhao Ning frowned invisibly, looking at Yao Jishi's huge belly. His clothes were covered again, and he couldn't see clearly what was going on under his belly. However, with the help of Qi Observation, he found that all his breath was contained in his belly. There was also a bloody light spot, as if there really was another life in the belly, and it was about to take shape.
The doctor wiped his sweat and got off the bed, "Mrs. Yao, I'm afraid your situation is not good. I think I have to go back to the pharmacy tonight."
Mrs. Yao hid her face and said, "Thank you doctor."
The doctor sighed, took the medicine box from the boy's hand, and was about to go out, when he suddenly realized that there were two people standing in the inner room. He was always good at observing people's complexions, and he felt something extraordinary at the first sight. These two people were extraordinary. Why didn't he see it just now?
He immediately crossed his hands and saluted, "Who are you two?"
Mrs. Yao suddenly remembered the purpose of her coming, and hurriedly came over, "Miss Lin, Mr. Lin, you have also seen the situation of my family. Is there anything you can do?"
As soon as the doctor heard that Zhao Ning and the two knew medical skills, he immediately gave up his intention to leave. He looked at Zhao Ning and Zhao Ning in surprise, but did not show any contempt.
"It turns out that you two are also doctors. I am blind. My surname is Li. I am a doctor in the city. I have been here the whole time about Governor Yao, so I will tell you about the situation." Dr. Li has a very benevolent heart as a doctor. Explain in detail the situation of Governor Yao in the past few days.
Yao Cishi just had some abdominal pain at first, but after taking Danggui Shaoyao Powder, it still didn't work. Veins gradually popped up on his body. The blood flowing on the veins could be seen with the naked eye, and the focus of the blood flow was in the abdominal cavity. During the period, the abdominal cavity began to swell little by little. I thought it was a tumor at first, but I was surprised to find that the thing in my stomach could move, and I realized that this thing was definitely not normal.
"If you ask me, this is really something that cannot be solved by medical skills." Dr. Li sighed, "I wonder what your opinions are."
Zhao Ning walked to the bed and placed her fingertips on Yao Jishi's pulse. At that moment, she felt a strange breath coming in along her arm.
She suddenly withdrew her hand and hid her palms in her sleeves. Her true energy was circulating, squeezing out the aura, and the spiritual light wrapped around her and fell on her palms.
Seeing Zhao Ning withdrawing her hand, Doctor Li thought she was in trouble, so he could only shake his head.
Mrs. Yao hid her tears and said, "If Miss Lin finds it difficult, it's okay. We, we have already been prepared."
But I heard Zhao Ning say to Mrs. Yao, "It's indeed a bit tricky, but it's not hopeless."
She said amidst the astonishment of everyone, "I just ask you to wait outside the house, I have to try treatment with my brother."
Dr. Li was excited, "I wonder if I can help you two. I have been learning medical skills since I was a child, so I won't cause any trouble."
But Zhao Ning nodded apologetically, and Mrs. Yao said in surprise, "Nothing, you two try your best. As long as my husband can get well, anything is fine."
With that said, everyone left with him.
Qin Keyuan took two steps closer, "What did you find?"
Zhao Ning raised her hand, cut her long sleeves open, and the clear light in her hand was wrapped with a hint of gray aura.
"Uncle Master, could this thing be..." Zhao Ning had a vague guess, but he had only seen it in a book and it was his first time coming into contact with it.
Qin Keyuan stared at the aura, "Epidemic Qi, you guessed it right."
In ancient times, there were ferocious beasts that carried plagues, and plagues spread wherever they went. But nowadays, even monsters are rare in Kyushu, let alone ferocious beasts that are born with epidemics.
