Hao Laodao followed Governor Zhou to Zhou Qing's boudoir, followed closely by Lieutenant Hong and the old housekeeper.
Hao Laodao used to travel around the world informally, but this time the patient was his niece, so he couldn't help but hesitate. County Sheriff Zhou saw his hesitation and said: "Brother, doctors don't be jealous, but follow the authority when it's urgent. Just do your best and don't care about anything else. You can't let my Qing'er suffer any more."
Knowing that the situation was urgent, Hao Laodao no longer hesitated and entered the house under the guidance of Governor Zhou.
In his father's impression, the girl's boudoir was always tidy, but this time it was a little different. Even though the maid had worked very hard to tidy up, the room was still messy. Sheriff Zhou stopped the maid's busy work and came to the bed to check on his daughter's condition.
Since Governor Zhou is a scholar, he has understood some of the medical theories in books. Although he cannot become a serious doctor, he can at least tell whether his daughter is in good or bad condition.
Zhou Qingyintang turned black, as if she had been poisoned. Her face was as golden as paper, her lips were blue, and her body seemed lifeless. With Governor Zhou's ability, he couldn't tell what was going on. He was just worried, so he hurriedly turned to look at Hao Laodao. He saw Hao Laodao looking at his daughter's boudoir and rummaging through the scattered things in the room. He was extremely anxious and strode forward. He stepped forward and grabbed Hao Laodao's sleeves and said, "Brother Hao, stop looking at these useless things and take a look at my daughter's illness."
Hao Laodao seemed to have come back to his senses at this moment. He walked to Zhou Qing's bed, observed her face, opened his eyelids and took a look, looking back and forth at all the five senses, and then held his hand Zhou Qing felt her pulse on her wrist.
After a long time, Hao Laodao frowned. He is a monk in the Qi training stage and is proficient in medical skills. The strength of ordinary doctors is naturally far inferior to him. Hao Laodao can not only determine the cause of the patient's symptoms through the pulse, but also use the true qi to truly deeply and accurately explore the meridian qi and blood in the patient's body.
He had just felt the pulse and had a general understanding of Zhou Qing's physical condition, but there were still some things he was not sure about, so he used his true energy to travel through Zhou Qing's meridians all over his body, and only then did he discover something incredible. Zhou Qing looked like she was dying this time, but her body was actually full of vitality. She didn't look like a terminally ill person at all, and there was a weak amount of true energy remaining in her body.
Governor Zhou's heart sank when he saw Hao Laodao frowning, but he was not surprised. He naturally believed that Hao Laodao was really capable, but he had also gone to other cities to seek help from famous doctors, but his daughter's illness could only be alleviated by Dr. Li's intervention.
"Brother, how's it going? Is it difficult? See if you can prescribe some recovery medicine to make Qing'er less painful. I'll ask the doctor to come over and work with you on how to treat it."
Hao Laodao waved his hands and said nothing, but dragged County Sheriff Zhou directly out of the house. Governor Zhou understood what Hao Laodao meant and asked the reluctant Captain Hong to go to the courtyard a few feet away to guard him. Then he wanted to ask questions, but he didn't want Hao Laodao to be more anxious and speak before him.
"Brother, don't worry. You just need to rest for a while, and my niece Qing'er will wake up."
Governor Zhou became excited, "Is this true? Can Qing'er's disease be cured without medicine?"
Hao Laodao knew that his words were not convincing enough and needed to explain clearly, so he said: "You see Qing'er's face is as golden as paper, and she looks like she is terminally ill, but these are false appearances. Her pulse is strong and her breath is long and strong. It can be seen that she is constantly angry, but she is not seriously injured and will recover after a while.”
This statement sounds reasonable, but it is still contrary to common sense. There is no treatment plan, and people are just waiting. What Hao Laodao said next was the key point, dispelling Governor Zhou's doubts.
"I see that there are soil and fertilizers in the house, as well as flowers and leaves. I think the flowers and plants in this garden are raised by my niece alone."
"It's true that Qing'er is taking care of it. This morning she was in good spirits. She changed her frail and sickly appearance for many days and became much more comfortable. She actually tidied up the garden that had not been taken care of for many days. I just I thought her condition was getting better, but I didn’t expect her to spend so much effort.”
"You are such a fool." Hao Laodao finally couldn't bear it anymore and cursed, "Even if she is well, how could she take care of all the flowers in the yard in just one morning?"
When Commander Zhou heard this, he said, yes. Logically speaking, if you want to maintain the flowers and plants in this garden, you need at least two servants who specialize in management. They can only barely maintain it. They can't complete so much work in one day.
"Then why is this?" Governor Zhou's tone of inquiry was a little soft. All this was beyond his cognition. After all, they are just ordinary people. They have never seen the abilities of practitioners and cannot understand many things.
Hao Laodao had no choice but to explain to him, "Qing'er's niece is naturally ill, but I can feel a strong zhenqi in her meridians. Someone must have helped her open up the blocked meridians. After that, Relying on her own recovery ability, she can defeat the disease, but this force is too powerful and stimulates too much energy that she cannot control. She has to plant flowers to release the excess energy, but her body is recovering, How could he withstand this kind of torture, so he collapsed to the ground again. But don't worry, the expert has cured Qing'er's niece's illness. When she wakes up, just feed her some food to restore her vitality. No It’s serious.”
Governor Zhou finally put his mind at ease. He believed that Hao Laodao would not deceive him for no reason. However, he had no clue as to the identity of this expert.
"Brother, can you help me find out the origin of Gao Ren? He cured Qing'er's disease. I have to thank him." Governor Zhou was speaking from the bottom of his heart, but he also had another purpose of holding Gao Ren in his arms. Human thighs, it won’t be too late to let go after Zhou Qing’s illness is completely cured.
Taoist Hao did not dare to offend an unknown practitioner at will, "I don't know why this expert wants to help you, but he must have his own reasons for not wanting to reveal his identity. Don't bother him. If you antagonize him, it won't be worth the loss." "
Commander Zhou was only eager to save his daughter, so he naturally understood these truths. The reminiscence between the two was stopped due to Zhou Qing's illness, so they had to find a table and chairs in front of the boudoir and sit down, waiting for Zhou Qing to wake up.
The entire county magistrate's house, except for the maids, was guarding the door. Ever since Zhou Mingzhi took office as the magistrate of Zijun City, he hadn't felt such a strong popularity in his home for a long time.
Of course, there is one person who is not here right now. You Ziji went out to buy food and wine with his family's money and didn't come back until now. If he hadn't had a keen sense of smell, he wouldn't have been able to find this group of people.
When You Ziji came here with wine and food, the most surprised person was naturally Hao Laodao. Fortunately, Hao Laodao had rich experience in the world and did not directly expose You Ziji's identity.
There were too many people here, and it was difficult for Hao Laodao to talk to You Ziji. At that moment, Zhou Qing groaned, which frightened the gentlemen into agitation and rushed into the house together.
Although Zhou Qing's face on the bed recovered, her brows were furrowed, large beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, and her body was shaking slightly, as if she was experiencing great pain. You Ziji never thought that she would become like this, but he couldn't help at this time and could only stand aside.
Taoist Hao, who has superb medical skills, took out a silver needle from his pocket, and like a goddess scattering flowers, he pierced Zhou Qing's body with silver needles all over the sky. Lieutenant Hong was shocked and tried to stop him, but was blocked by Commander Zhou.
However, he saw Taoist Hao using his true energy, and a light green light of true qi appeared on his hand. It was divided into eight filaments of true qi and controlled the silver needle to press down. At this time, the silver needle really penetrated Zhou Qing's body. Taoist Hao saw it accurately. Using silver needles to fix acupuncture points on Zhou Qing's meridians, her brows relaxed slightly.
This time when the illness occurred, Hao Laodao discovered the real problem with Zhou Qing. Could it be a "gu"?
Hao Laodao looked at Governor Zhou distressedly and said, "Who have you offended?"
Governor Zhou was speechless. There were too many people he didn't want to deal with, and he didn't know which one they were.
With so many people crowded together in the room, Hao Laodao couldn't perform at all. He was concentrating and sweating on his forehead. He quickly reached out and pointed.
"Everyone, get out and I'll try to cast a spell to save you."
"That boy, come in and help me."
You Ziji was young and physically agile, so the others had no objections to letting him stay.
Everyone walked out of the house and just closed the door. You Ziji immediately stepped forward to help, helping Hao Laodao survive.
After a while of burning incense, the strangeness in Zhou Qing finally returned to calm.
Only then did You Ziji and Hao Laodao have time to communicate. You Ziji was very concerned about Zhou Qing's illness. He had never seen such a thing in his short life experience.
"Taoist priest, what kind of disease is this? Is it poison?"
"It's Gu." Hao Laodao looked a little solemn. When he was young, he once saw practitioners who were poisoned by Gu and died in horrible ways. "This kind of thing is very troublesome."
"Then how do we solve it?"
"Although the realm of the old Taoist is not enough, I have learned a lot of miscellaneous skills. I can try it out. After I go out, I will seek the opinions of Governor Zhou, make some arrangements, and open a magic altar, hoping that the poisonous insects can be eliminated. After the practice, I need a master to do the main attack, otherwise my veteran skills may be counterattacked by the Gu insects, so You Shaoxia will give me a helping hand."
"That's natural."
…
"Brother He, what can you do?" Governor Zhou knew that Zhou Qing had not fully recovered from her illness, but the opportunity was right in front of her.
"This is someone who poisoned Qing'er's niece. I need to set up a magic altar to get rid of the poison."
"Brother, just tell me whatever you need. I'll prepare it right away."
Hao Laodao took out a pen and paper and wrote down the requirements, and then said: "Also, later I need to let the monster go in and force out the Gu worm. The method may be more drastic. You can watch in the dark, but no matter what happens, Don't come out and interrupt me, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted, and niece Qing'er may still be in danger of her life."
Sheriff Zhou finally waited for his daughter to recover, so naturally he agreed to everything.
