Hearing Chang Sheng's words, Yang Kai was disappointed and frustrated, "You mean the master is hopeless?"
"What do you mean by being saved?" Changsheng turned and walked towards the seat next to the wooden table, "Even if he is not treated, it will not affect the master's life, but his spiritual energy cultivation is used by him to suppress the poison in his body. , after so many years, the spiritual energy has been mixed with the poison, and the spiritual energy can no longer be used at will, and it is very difficult to detoxify without damaging the cultivation."
Yang Kai took a few steps ahead and walked to the table to help Chang Sheng pull out the seat, "It would be best if he could preserve his cultivation. If not, it would be good to try to restore his consciousness."
After several humility, Chang Sheng could not defeat Yang Kai and had to sit down first, "The reason why Master can survive to this day is due to his pure spiritual energy cultivation, and the reason why the treatment is so difficult is precisely because of Master." The master's spiritual energy cultivation level is too high. The spiritual energy in the master's body is currently conflicting with the poison. If the poison disappears, the master's spiritual energy cultivation level will be restored immediately. However, he is confused at this time and cannot control the spiritual energy in his body as he wishes. Taixuanxiu Once the wild horse gets out of control, the master will go crazy in an instant."
Although Yang Kai didn't understand the Qihuang technique, Chang Sheng's words were very straightforward, and he immediately understood the problem, but he was not in a hurry to answer because he found that Chang Sheng's words were obviously not finished.
After a brief pause, Changsheng continued, "Your master's condition is very complicated. If you want to restore his cultivation, you must first restore his consciousness. However, the poison he was poisoned has already invaded the Shenfu, and the Shenfu is the leader of Sanyang." , where the soul lives, cannot be reached by medicine and stone..."
Yang Kai didn't understand, "Taoist Priest, I have little talent and knowledge. Please tell me frankly."
Changsheng said, "I can restore the master's consciousness and preserve his spiritual energy, but the treatment will definitely damage his internal organs and shorten his lifespan."
"How damaged is it?" Yang Kai asked eagerly.
"It can be as long as one month, or as short as half a month." Changsheng said.
"Are you saying that Master can live this long?" Yang Kai asked.
Changsheng nodded, "This is the method of resurrecting from exhaustion in medical skills. It is somewhat similar to the method of returning to the light. Ordinary people cannot survive the right time, but my master's cultivation is pure and he should be able to last for half a month or even a month."
Yang Kai understood and nodded slowly.
Changsheng said, "You said before that the master will wake up for a moment every few days. At that time, you can listen to him and let him weigh and make a decision."
Yang Kai sighed, "Master is awake occasionally, but it's just a flash in the pan, and the so-called awakening is just not as hazy as it is now, and his thoughts are still not very clear."
"Then you can only decide slowly." Changsheng said.
"There is no need to think about it," Yang Kai shook his head and said, "I would like to ask the Taoist Master to take mercy on me and save my master."
Yang Kai's prompt decision was quite unexpected by Changsheng, and he was puzzled, and doubts appeared between his eyebrows.
Yang Kai guessed what he was thinking and pointed back at Gu Yan, who was snoring loudly on the bed, "I have served Master for twelve years. I have survived the most difficult times, and I don't mind serving him for another twelve years, but if he If he is sane, he will definitely not linger like this. Even if it is only for half a month, he can take revenge and take care of his funeral, without being confused and confused until he dies."
After Yang Kai finished speaking, both Chang Sheng and Ni Chenyi cast approving looks at him. It was not easy for Yang Kai to make such a decision. First of all, he had to bear the reputation of being an unfilial son in front of a long-term illness, and he also had to face the guilt of killing his master with his own hands. But Yang Kai is right, no one would want to live in confusion.
"Brother Yang, are you sure you want to do this?" Changsheng solemnly confirmed.
"Wen Dao in the morning, we can die in the evening," Yang Kai nodded solemnly, "Master will never blame me when he wakes up."
"Okay, I need to prepare some medicine and medical equipment. It's too late today. I will come over tomorrow to treat the master." Changsheng said.
"I cannot thank you enough for your kindness," Yang Kai said seriously, "If Taoist Master can really awaken my master, Yang Kai's life will be yours."
"Brother Yang is serious," Changsheng waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I am 100% sure that I can wake up the master."
Hearing Chang Sheng's words, Yang Kai stood up, flipping the hem of his clothes and about to kneel down to thank him. Seeing this, Chang Sheng hurriedly stood up to stop him. After some entanglement, he finally stopped Yang Kai from kneeling down. At this time, the maid brought the prepared soup, and Ni Chenyi took it. The decoction medicine was handed to Yang Kai, while Chang Sheng took out the paper and pen from the bag and wrote a list of the required medicines and medical tools.
He also has three silver elixirs for healing, detoxification, and recovery. It's not that he is stingy and distressed, but these elixirs are not suitable for use. What he needs is not a complete detoxification drug. If he is completely detoxified, Gu Yan will also die. He needs to detoxify Gu Yan 70%, leaving 30% as a buffer. This situation is the same as a person who has been in the dark for a long time and suddenly sees the sun and becomes blind.
In fact, Gu Yan was not killed by him, but by the 30% poison remaining in his body.
He needed a wide variety of medicines, as well as needles and moxa for acupuncture. It was not easy for him to gather these things alone, so he had to leave it to Ni Chenyi to prepare them.
After handing the written list to Ni Chenyi, the two stood up to leave. Ni Chenyi said to Yang Kai, "Brother Yang, let's go back first. You can live here in peace and ask them to handle whatever you need."
Yang Kai cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Taoist Ni."
Ni Chenyi then took off the money bag from his waist and handed it over with both hands, "There is some gold and silver here. Please accept it in case you need it in case of emergencies."
Yang Kai did not refuse this time, and took the money bag with trembling hands, "Thank you two Taoist priests. In order to avoid unnecessary complications, I hope you don't tell others that Master and I are staying here."
"That's natural." Ni Chenyi said casually.
Then the two turned around and left, and Yang Kai followed to see them off.
Staying far away from the courtyard, Ni Chenyi said, "Are you really sure?"
"True." Changsheng nodded.
"If we can really wake him up, it will be a great merit." Ni Chenyi said.
"I didn't want to do that," Chang Sheng shook his head and said, "I just feel that it is too difficult for Yang Kai. When Gu Yan was poisoned, he was only seven years old. A seven or eight-year-old child lives with a confused lunatic. His situation is so miserable. As you can imagine, he needs Gu Yan to give him an explanation, and Gu Yan also needs to give himself an explanation."
"Some are happy and some are sad. If Gu Yan wakes up, there will be many unlucky people who will suffer." Ni Chenyi said.
"Injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner. Good people should not suffer losses, and evil people should not go unpunished," Changsheng said. "By the way, please prepare those things. Find me at the inn tomorrow at midnight, and we will come back here again."
"Okay." Ni Chenyi nodded
"I'm going back to the inn first. You should go back early to save your father from worrying about it." Changsheng said.
"That's fine." Ni Chenyi nodded in agreement, and the two of them distributed their things.
Back at the inn, Chang Sheng first went to the backyard to see the Black Master, and found that his belly was swollen from being fed, and he was lying on the hay and taking a nap. Then he felt relieved, and then went to the front hall, where he found Li Zongyuan and thanked him. Only then returned to the room upstairs.
There was water in the bathtub in the room, which was brought by the guys before. It was already a little cold at this time, but there was still a little bit of residual warmth. Changsheng was too embarrassed to let others change the water, so he reached into it and it warmed up on its own. He took off his clothes and went in to take a shower, then went to bed and lay down to rest.
I had been running around all over the place for a while, worried and exhausted, and finally settled down and had a good sleep.
In the evening, Changsheng woke up. He did not wake up on his own after sleeping enough, but was awakened by a strange feeling. This strange feeling was not unfamiliar to him. It was the feeling of advanced spiritual energy cultivation.
After waking up, I immediately looked inside. As expected, the meridians became smoother and the blood flowed faster. The dark red cave had been transformed into a light blue cave.
Dong Shen, Gao Xuan, and the third level of Shengxuan Red Qi are for refining Qi, while Dong Xuan, San Dong, and Da Dong are for refining Qi and transforming into God. This promotion is not an ordinary small promotion, but one from red to blue. Great advancement.
The reason why spiritual energy cultivation can be improved so quickly in such a short period of time is undoubtedly due to the Hunyuan Divine Art. The Hunyuan Divine Art is divided into nine levels. It improves simultaneously with the improvement of spiritual energy cultivation. Being promoted to Light Blue Dongxuan also means It seems that his Hunyuan Divine Art has entered the fourth level.
After the inner perception, he began to recall and calculate the time. It has been forty-nine days since the last time he was promoted to the crimson spiritual energy.
After three spiritual energy promotions, we can calculate the general promotion rules. It took seven days to advance to the red spiritual energy, twenty-one days to advance to the dark red spiritual energy, and forty-nine days to advance to the light blue spiritual energy.
Seven times three is twenty-one. If each promotion is three times the time of the previous promotion, then the current promotion to Dongxuan Light Blue should be twenty-one times three, which is sixty-three days. But This time it only took forty-nine days. What kind of pattern is this?
Frowning and calculating, he suddenly realized after a moment that this rule has nothing to do with three, but with seven. The first promotion is one seven days, and the second promotion is three seven days, which is two more seven days than the last time. The third promotion is seven seven days, four more than the last time.
It can be seen that the time required for promotion increases step by step. For each promotion, two seven days will be added to the next promotion. The rule is to add two, add four, add six, add eight, add ten...
According to this rule, the next time you enter the Blue Qi Three Cave should be four more seven days than this time, and two more seven days, that is, six, seven, forty-two days, plus the base number of forty-nine days, The total is ninety-one days, which is three months later.
Entering the Deep Blue Cave is a base of ninety-one days, plus eight seven days, which is fifty-six days, for a total of one hundred and forty-seven days.
Continuing to calculate, it takes a base of one hundred and forty-seven days to advance to the Light Purple Residence Mountain, plus ten seven days, which is seventy days, for a total of two hundred and seventeen days.
Entering the Purple Qi Cave Abyss is the base number of two hundred and seventeen days, plus twelve seven days, which is eighty-four days, for a total of three hundred and one days.
In the end, the time required to advance to the Deep Purple Taixuan is the base number of three hundred and one days, plus fourteen seven days, which is ninety-eight days, for a total of three hundred and ninety-nine days.
When he thought that he would be promoted to the Purple Qi in one year, and the peak of the Purple Qi in three years, Chang Sheng could not hold back the excitement in his heart, his whole body was trembling, and he was overjoyed.
However, inferring the pattern based on the time required for three promotions is still not foolproof. Other patterns may also appear, but this possibility is unlikely, because together with the two days it took to practice Qi for the first time to become a cave god, the promotion from the first level of light red The ninth level of deep purple has a total of one thousand two hundred and thirty four days, and one, two, three and four is the number of Hunyuan of Taoism.
Just when Changsheng was secretly ecstatic, he suddenly heard the sound of someone going upstairs. He listened carefully and saw that the person was walking towards the room where he was. The footsteps were heavy and did not sound like someone practicing martial arts.
Sure enough, a moment later, there was a knock on the door, "Taoist Priest, someone has come to Dali Temple again, and they want to ask you for questions."
Hearing the man's words, Changsheng felt a chill in his heart. During the day, Wen Gongyi, the young minister of Dali Temple, asked him about his whereabouts during the previous period. After learning that he had been staying in Yizhuang for a long time, he sent someone to Yizhuang to confirm the truth. According to the time, It is estimated that the people sent out should have returned by this time.
"How many people?" Changsheng asked.
"Two," said the man, "a nun, and a young woman in official uniform."
Changsheng frowned slightly when he heard this. During the day, Wen Gongyi had said that he would send Yu Yi over to check. The nun the clerk mentioned was undoubtedly Yu Yi, but why did Yu Yi come to the inn?
After pondering, Changsheng said to the waiter, "I'll get dressed right away. Please ask them to come up."
The waiter left in response. Changsheng got up and dressed. At the same time, he was thinking anxiously. If Yu Yi found out the clues, Dali Temple should have sent people to catch him by now. They would never let the waiter come up to pass the news. No accident. Yu Yi probably didn't have any conclusive evidence, but he found something suspicious, so he came here to ask him for questioning.
Not long after, there was another knock on the door. Changsheng went to open the door. Standing outside the door were Yu Yi and a young woman in her early twenties. Yu Yi was wearing a cassock, and the young woman was wearing a cassock. Official uniform of Dali Temple.
The two of them had traveled a lot and were obviously returning from a long journey.
"Amitabha, Taoist Master, you are polite." Yu Yi put his hands together in greeting.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, you are polite, Master, and you are polite." Changsheng returned the greeting.
"Taoist Priest, we are officials from Dali Temple, and we want to ask you something." Yu Yi said.
Changsheng nodded and then raised his hand sideways to invite the two of them into the room.
"No, we're right at the door." Yu Yi shook his head, "Excuse me, Chief Taoist, have you ever stayed in Yizhuang, Yulin Town, in the south?"
"I don't know if it belongs to Yulin Town, but I did live in a yizhuang for a while." Changsheng said.
"Is there a deep thatched grassland in the southwest of the Yizhuang you mentioned?" Yu Yi asked.
"There is indeed a thatched field near Yizhuang, but it is not in the southwest, but in the northeast." Changsheng said.
Yu nodded and asked again, "Do you use thatch to make a fire at night?"
Changsheng shook his head, "It's not thatch, it's branches."
"Willow branches?" Yu Yi asked.
"It's not a willow branch, it's a locust branch." Changsheng said.
Yu Yi turned to look at the young woman beside him, who nodded slightly.
"What did the Taoist priest eat during his stay in Nayizhuang?" Yu Yi asked again.
"Dry food." Changsheng replied.
"Besides dry food, what else is there?" Yu Yi asked again and again.
"There are also some fruits." Changsheng replied.
"What kind of fruit?" Yu Yi asked.
"Pumpkin, cassava." Changsheng replied.
After Chang Sheng finished speaking, Yu Yi looked at the young woman again, who nodded slightly, indicating that Chang Sheng's answer was consistent with the results of his investigation.
"The Taoist priest had painted charms to subdue demons in Yizhuang before?" Yu Yi asked again.
Chang Sheng shook his head, "It's not about subduing demons, it's about exorcising ghosts."
"What kind of spell was used?" Yu Yi asked.
"Qianyang Talisman and Yin-Suppressing Talisman." Changsheng replied.
"Can the Taoist Master please draw two more pictures?" Yu Yi asked.
"No, I'm very tired and my hands are weak." Changsheng said coldly.
Seeing that Chang Sheng was a little annoyed, Yu Yi turned to look at the woman who was traveling with him. The latter stepped forward and asked, "Hello, Taoist Priest, I am Zhang Ziyan, the Dali Temple detective. Please give us the yellow paper you used."
Changsheng raised his eyebrows and glanced at the woman, turned back to the bedside, opened the bag, took out a piece of talisman, returned to the door and handed it to the other person.
Zhang Ziyan took the talisman and asked again, "Excuse me, Chief Taoist, apart from firewood, what else have you burned in the fire pit?"
"I don't remember." Changsheng tilted his head.
"Taoist Master, we are also following orders, please don't embarrass us." Zhang Ziyan was helpless.
Seeing her unkempt face, Changsheng couldn't bear to continue to make things difficult for her, saying, "Horse manure."
"Why are you burning horse dung?" Zhang Ziyan asked.
"Destroy the corpse and eliminate all traces." Changsheng said.
Seeing that Chang Sheng was uncooperative again, Zhang Ziyan sighed helplessly, "Taoist Priest, tell the truth. After verification, we have confirmed that what you told is the truth, but we will always go back to report your duties, so you can tell the truth."
"My horse is naturally poisonous, and the horse manure is also poisonous. If it is not burned, it may encounter rain and the poison will spread." Changsheng said.
"Thank you, Taoist Priest," Zhang Ziyan said after thanking you, "Taoist Priest, where is your horse now? Can we pick up its excrement?"
Changsheng said casually, "In the stable in the backyard, there are a lot of chickens. Go pick them up, but you'd better be careful. They not only kick people, but also bite them."
"Thank you, Taoist Priest, for reminding me." Zhang Ziyan raised her hand to thank Changsheng, then walked downstairs.
"Thank you for your trouble, Taoist Priest, please take a rest early." Yu Yi said with his hands together.
"No." Changsheng reached out and closed the door.
At this moment, Yu Yi quickly took action, thrust something into Changsheng's hand, and walked away quickly, "Zi Yan, wait for me."
Chang Sheng did not expect that Yu Yi would stuff something into his hand. It was a piece of yellow paper folded many times. He had to close the door before opening the folded yellow paper, which was no more than the size of a fingernail.
When the yellow paper was completely unfolded, the souls of the immortals suddenly emerged. This yellow paper was not an ordinary yellow paper, but a talisman paper with words written in cinnabar, which turned out to be a prescription.
Among the three people living in Yizhuang that day, there was an old woman who was seriously ill. Before he sent the three people away as a gift of silver, he had written a prescription for the old woman. What Yu Yi gave him was written in his own handwriting. That prescription...
