Gu Shengchao ran back to find Lu Jin. She had stopped crying and was sitting alone with her thoughts.
"Brother Gu, what's wrong?" It was rare to see Gu Shengchao in such a panic, and Lu Jin was also shocked.
"Brother Baili needs your help. Someone is poisoned and needs treatment urgently." Gu Shengchao picked up Lu Jin and ran out.
Arriving outside the lobby door, Gu Shengchao opened the door and sent Lu Jin into the room: "Just follow Brother Baili's arrangements."
Lu Jin entered the room and saw a woman lying on the long table next to her. Her face was black and the skin that could be seen outside her skirt was also dark. Her chest could hardly be seen rising and falling, like a dead person.
"Brother Baili, what do you need me to do?" Lu Jin saw Bailihuan unfolding a long wallet with hundreds of silver needles of different lengths inserted in it.
Baili Huan solemnly said: "Take off all this person's clothes and help me help her."
With his life at stake, Lu Jin did not dare to be careless and quickly followed the instructions, helping Hong Ji to sit up.
At this moment, Xiang Hongji had bruises all over her body, as if she had just been fished out of a mud pond. The whole person was unconscious and his head was hanging down.
Bailihuan took a deep breath. Although he was ten steps away from Xiang Hongji, he saw his feet moving quickly and flying, and more than thirty silver needles were ready to pierce the acupuncture points on Xiang Hongji's chest and back.
Immediately afterwards, Bailihuan used her internal strength to get closer to Xiang Hongji, and inserted silver needles of different lengths into the acupuncture points surrounding her slender waist. Each time a needle was inserted, she had to use her true energy to assist.
The last fifty or so silver needles were inserted into the meridians of Xiang Hongji's limbs.
After all the silver needles were pricked, Xiang Hongji reacted slightly, said "Hmm", and then there was no reaction again.
Baili Huan circled around Hong Ji several times, her hands bluffing.
Although he couldn't see anything, Lu Jin felt a powerful force pressing down, making him suffocating.
Bailihuan rushed over and slapped the Baihui point on Xiang Hongji's head. Lu Jin was so frightened that he almost left her and ran away, thinking that Bailihuan was going to kill someone and silence her.
But Bailihuan's face was serious, and he kept forcing his zhenqi into Xiang Hongji's forehead.
Xiang Hongji's originally dark face began to turn from black to red.
Bloody purple.
A pair of big eyes protruded on the purple face, as if they were about to explode, and the twisted face was hideous and terrifying.
Lu Jin put his hands on Xiang Hongji's shoulders and did not dare to look at her.
Later, Bai Lihuan took off her shoes and socks and sat with Xiang Hongji looking at each other. The soles of their feet touched each other and the palms of their hands were clasped tightly.
Lu Jin could feel the changes in the temperature of Xiang Hongji's skin. Sometimes it was cold, sometimes hot, sometimes icy cold, sometimes scalding hot.
Baili Huan, in particular, was not relaxed at all, and big beads of sweat continued to appear on his forehead.
Looking at Hong Ji again, hot air was rising from the top of her head and the acupuncture points. Due to the discomfort, her body kept twisting like a python.
An hour later, Baili Huan seemed to have just been fished out of the river, and her clothes were soaked with sweat.
He let out a long breath, got down from the table tiredly, and said feebly: "Wait a moment, sister, I'm going to change into clean clothes first."
"Yeah." Lu Jin didn't dare to let go, for fear that Xiang Hongji would fall off the table.
Xiang Hongji, who was covered in silver needles like a hedgehog, was still in a coma and couldn't wake up, but her dark skin began to turn a little rosy.
Bailihuan walked out of the lobby. Gu Shengchao had already cooked tea and was waiting outside the door.
"How is it?" Gu Shengchao brought warm tea.
Baili Huan took the tea and drank it in one gulp: "My life has been saved. Whether she can return to normal depends on her luck."
"Feng Nanjing hasn't come back yet?" Baili Huan asked, looking at the front yard.
"No, I will report the news to my elder brother immediately." Gu Shengchao took the teacup in his hand.
"I'm going to change my clothes and I'll be back soon." Bailihuan said and left, sweat dripping from his soaked clothes, leaving a string of water stains on the road.
When Bailihuan came back after changing her clothes, Feng Nanjing rushed back and brought back a large bag of medicinal materials.
Bailihuan has no nonsense,
I picked up the bag and walked into the lobby. I poured it all into an earthen pot and boiled it with water.
Gu Shengchao and Feng Nanjing were sitting outside the completely blocked window, anxiously waiting for the results of Bailihuan's treatment.
"How did you and Xiang Hongji meet?" Gu Shengchao asked curiously.
Feng Nanjing took a sip of tea and said: "I bought the steamer needed for the master. I was hungry and found a small restaurant to eat a bowl of noodles. Opposite me, two people were drinking, because I accidentally met a person passing by. That person I got so angry that I wanted to beat them both, but the restaurant waiter stopped me in time."
"I thought the matter would calm down like this, but I saw the man took advantage of the situation and sprinkled poisonous powder on the half-eaten cooked meat, and then sat aside to watch the fun."
"My master often warns us not to bully the weak and to have the courage to fight against injustice, so I exposed that person's tactics on the spot."
"But no one believed my empty words. Even the shopkeeper and the waiters in the restaurant suspected that I was stirring up trouble and deliberately causing trouble. There happened to be a puppy in front of the restaurant, so I fed the dog meat mixed with medicine. The consequences were disastrous. You know, the dog was killed on the spot."
"The man became so angry that he took the sword and wanted to kill me. Of course I couldn't just sit there and wait for death, so I started fighting with him."
"It's a pity that my skills are not as good as others. Seeing that I am losing and my life is in danger, Xiang Hongji rushes out of nowhere, holding the flying tiger claws in both hands in a domineering manner."
"I have been following my master for many years. The two sects of poison and witches often fight during festivals, so I got to know her. I was completely desperate at the time, and my life was at risk if the two of them joined forces."
"Just when I thought I was certain to die, Xiang Hongji suddenly took action and fought with that person, giving me a chance to breathe. I wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but then I thought about it, people took risks to save me, and there must be someone among them. Why, how can we leave it alone?"
"Xiang Hongji and I joined forces to force that person to be unable to fight back. Especially Xiang Hongji, who disappeared and appeared intermittently, making it difficult for people to find her exact location, posing the greatest threat to that person."
"Perhaps that man thought of a good countermeasure, and suddenly attacked me forcefully, forcing me to retreat. Xiang Hongji didn't know where she was hiding, and she suddenly rushed out with her flying tiger claws and scratched a wound on the man's lower abdomen. At the same time, the man also hit Xiang Hongji on the chest and sprinkled some powder."
"After Xiang Hongji was injured, she couldn't control her breathing. She was forced to inhale a lot of powder and was unconscious. The woman's abdomen was dripping with blood. She knew she was defeated and ran away in a hurry. I knew that no doctor in the county could treat her, so I quickly took the horse and carried her back to find her. Master, please help."
Knowing the ins and outs of the matter, Gu Shengchao pondered for a moment and said, "Xiang Hongji has left the Poison Sect. Maybe she is grateful for saving you."
Feng Nanjing didn't understand, but he didn't ask any more questions.
In the lobby, Bailihuan and other medicinal materials were boiled into a viscous consistency, then turned off the heat and mashed with a mallet, left to stand for a stick of incense, then picked up by hand to keep the temperature moderate, and finally poured into a porcelain basin.
He came to Xiang Hongji and walked around, put all the silver needles inserted into her into her wallet, and ordered Lu Jin to lay Xiang Hongji flat on the table.
Bringing the porcelain basin, Baili Huan said: "Please, Miss Lu Jin, please apply the medicinal mud evenly on her body. Remember, even the hair must be wrapped with the medicinal mud, leaving only the nostrils to vent."
Lu Jin obeyed and did as he was told, and Bai Lihuan arranged for Feng Nanjing to find a quilt. When the mud on Xiang Hongji's body was slightly dry and no longer touched her hands, she carefully covered her with the quilt and put a pillow behind her head.
After everything was ready, when the two of them walked out of the lobby, it was already dark and it was already past dinner time.
Fortunately, there was a dedicated cook to cook, and several people hurried to the front yard to have dinner.
In the dining room, Bai Lihuan made arrangements. Gu Shengchao and Lu Jin would be on duty in the first half of the night, and he and Feng Nanjing would be on duty in the second half of the night, lest someone attack her. If Xiang Hongji were to do that, she would never wake up.
Bailihuan had a tiring day and took an early rest with Feng Nanjing.
In order to kill the boring time, Gu Shengchao found a brazier and placed it in the open space in front of the lobby. He placed a stand on it, just in time to make tea and grill some meat skewers for toothpaste.
It was easier to stay up in the first half of the night. When the two of them were too sleepy to even count the stars, master and apprentice Bailihuan came to take over.
The rooms where Gu Shengchao and Lu Jin rested were adjacent to each other. After they returned home, they both slept in their clothes, worried about accidents and making it easier to get out in time.
.
In the haze, Gu Shengchao heard someone knocking on the door next door: "Sister Lu Jin, I need your help."
Gu Shengchao hurriedly got up and put on his shoes and went out. He saw Baili Huan standing outside the door, pacing back and forth uneasily.
"What's wrong with Brother Baili?" Gu Shengchao was afraid that something unexpected would happen.
Baili Huan said happily: "Xiang Hongji has woken up and needs Miss Lu Jin's help with the final healing."
While the two were talking, Lu Jin also ran out. She didn't have time to comb her hair, so she just put it into a bun on the back of her head and followed her to the lobby.
The doors and windows in the lobby were closed during this period, and only a few oil lamps were used for lighting.
When she came to the table where Xiang Hongji was placed, she opened her eyes wide and seemed to have regained her consciousness.
Bailihuan prepared two wooden barrels, one filled with clear water and one filled with turbid potion.
"I will go out in a while. You first help Miss Xiang wash off the mud on her body in clean water, then soak in the potion, cover her body with a quilt, and then I come in." Bailihuan settled Lu Jin and went out to backhand Close the door.
Lu Jin lifted up the quilt and was about to help Hong Ji when he saw her sitting up on her own.
"Are you able to move?" Lu Jin was startled.
Xiang Hongji went down to the ground to stretch her body and said softly: "Did you save me?"
"Brother Bailihuan has superb medical skills, I'm just helping out." Lu Jin didn't dare to take credit.
Hearing Lu Jin's soft and delicate voice, Xiang Hongji was surprised and said, "Who are you from Baili Huan? I have never heard that he has a sister."
Lu Jin smiled and said, "I am a brother and sister named Gu Shengchao. Bailihuan is Gu Shengchao's sworn brother, so I also call him eldest brother."
"Gu Shengchao, where are they?" Xiang Hongji was a little excited.
Lu Jin said softly: "Don't you know, this house is Brother Gu's ancestral house, and we all live here now."
"Is this the home of the ancient sage Chao?" Xiang Hongji looked around and said suspiciously, "No, this is obviously a place for refining poisons. Could it be that he has also gone astray?"
