After the initial excitement passed, Gu Boyang was a little disappointed. He became an official apprentice in the medicine refining hall, but He Yanzi didn't bother to teach him the skills of preparing medicine and detoxifying. Instead, he was assigned to take care of the patient who was riddled with snake venom. One guest does not bother two hosts. Since Gu Boyang rescued her, he should take care of her. There is nothing wrong with this. Although the work was very leisurely and he could freely use his time, money and materials, in the eyes of others, he was not an apprentice, but just an errand boy. This subtle emotion made Gu Boyang feel unwilling.
Just run errands. Gu Boyang quickly adjusted his mentality and tried his best to do his job well. Yang Hu is a distinguished guest of the Medicine Refining Hall, the kind who would alert the chief helmsman to personally intervene. From Elder Yi to ordinary disciples, everyone is very polite to him. Even helmsman Hou Jinbiao comes to visit him every now and then. , and talked with him until late into the night - working for such a big shot, what else can you complain about!
In the opinion of Elder Yi Lianyi, Yanghu was so poisoned that his survival was a pure luck. He should stay in bed for a year and a half to recuperate. If the snake venom stays in the arm for too long, the bones and muscles will become necrotic, and he is afraid that he will be permanently disabled. Ordinary antidotes were no longer effective. For this reason, he devoted himself to careful consideration and wrote out a prescription for fighting poison with poison. He took two doses every morning and evening. He Yanzi cooked it himself and ordered Gu Boyang to deliver it to the bedside of the sheep nurse.
"If He Yanzi asks, just say that I have already drank it." Wei Shiqi said lightly, and then poured the medicine out the window. He doesn't need any antidote for "fighting poison with poison". The bit of blood in his heart is like a spark in the ashes, constantly swallowing snake venom to strengthen his body. The poison remaining in his arm is not serious, but is an excellent resource. No one else is allowed to interfere randomly.
Wei Shiqi's wisp of spiritual thought was so powerful that he took his body and entered the world. Guo Chuanlin's physical body almost collapsed on the spot. Fortunately, he swallowed up all of Du Wei's essence, including the Yin Yuan Pearl that controlled the "Yuan Yin Corpse Ghost". After chewing it up and swallowing it, I managed to regain some composure. The physical body is a treasure raft for Taoists to cross the world. The most important thing is that it takes a lot of time to repair the damaged areas. It cannot be done overnight. Any hidden danger left behind will be detrimental to the future tribulation. Fortunately, Guo Chuanlin had a little abyss blood in his heart orifice. Blood can best replenish the physical body. Mortals can't do it. Only by finding the essence of a great demon or a Taoist can we get twice the result with half the effort.
By chance, Wei Shiqi was washed ashore by the river and rolled down in the grass, disturbing a Gelsemium snake that had lived for more than a hundred years. It was full of spirituality and was only one step away from enlightenment and becoming a spirit. It was enough. The long insect was bewitched by the blood of the abyss, and accidentally bit him, biting him on his index finger, and spit out all the snake venom he had accumulated for a long time. He was exhausted and huddled under Wei Shiqi's body, feeling dazed, not knowing what had happened.
The snake venom extended along the arms to the armpits, invaded the heart orifices, and was refined by the blood. Wei Shiqi regained a little strength. He had no intention of repaying his kindness, and instead ate the life-saving Gelsemium snake clean. , not letting go of every drop of essence, treating his belly as the cemetery where it is buried.
The snake venom is the essence of the Gelsemium snake. This body is too weak, and the blood of the abyss is also sluggish. It cannot be replenished. It must be worked on slowly. Wei Shiqi refined the snake venom bit by bit. Although it is a drop in the bucket, After all, my complexion is getting better day by day.
Gu Boyang didn't dare to hide Yang Hu's refusal to take medicine and not report it to He Yanzi. The latter pondered for a long time and didn't say much. The value of Yang Hu lies in his status as the heir of the Yang family. Since he can survive the snake venom invading his heart, his life is probably safe. As for his physical disability, He Yanzi does not consider it, so let him be.
Gu Boyang was kind-hearted and tried to persuade Yang Hu to take the medicine, but he was coldly kicked out of the house.
On the evening of the second day, Gu Boyang carried the food box to the sheep as usual, and then stepped into the small courtyard. Suddenly he heard a long sigh of relief, a sense of relief mixed with unspeakable joy. He pushed open the door and saw Yang Hu standing up and leaning on the head of the bed, his sweaty face radiant, as if he was a different person from head to toe.
Gu Boyang was startled and looked at his right hand. His index finger was back to normal, showing no signs of poisoning. He was still young and had little knowledge, so he guessed that Yang Hu finally forced out the snake's venom with his internal power and suddenly recovered.
The blood of the abyss swallowed a whole Gelsemium snake, and the essence fed back into the body. Although his body was weak, his appetite was huge. For the first time in several days, Wei Shiqi emptied the food box, laughed three times, and fell asleep. He only regards the Medicine Refining Hall as his comfort zone.
In this way, Wei Shiqi settled down at the Jinkou branch of Tianlong Gang, where he should eat and sleep without any restraint. He never mentioned returning to the Huashan Sect, and he ignored the plans of Hou Jinbiao, Yi Lian and others. Asked without any hesitation. He Yanzi saw this in his eyes and was secretly surprised. He didn't know if this person was really slow or if he didn't care at all. He vaguely felt that he was not simple and told Gu Boyang to serve him well and not to disobey him.
Wei Shiqi's life was very regular. He got up at dawn, fetched a bucket of cold well water, washed briefly, went to Yuehua Tower in the south of the city to drink tea and have breakfast. After wandering around for a while, he returned to the Medicine Refining Hall and closed the door. He didn't come out until it was time to turn on the lamp, with Yi Lian or He Yanzi as his companions, drinking and chatting, and then went to bed.
Although it is rare to only eat two meals a day, it is still reasonable. The only thing that makes people wonder is why he is always hiding in the house.
Gu Boyang discovered Yang Hu's secret purely by chance. That day he accompanied Yang Hu from Yuehua Tower and met an old hunter selling roe deer on the roadside. Roe deer is a game only found in the north. It is a rarity in Jinkou and not many people know it. The sheep guard couldn't help but look at it a few more times and said casually: "The head of the roe deer is very delicious. It is buried in the ashes and roasted. One The place has the same flavor.”
Gu Boyang's heart moved. He remembered that Yanghu was from Heshuo, and roe deer should be the flavor of his hometown. He immediately took out his money and bought two front legs. The hunter generously gave him the roe deer head. After returning to the medicine refining hall, Gu Boyang borrowed a fire from the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves, roasted the roe deer's head, patted off the floating ash, revealing the brown and fragrant meat, cut it into thin slices, packed it in a food box and sent it to the sheep. Protect the place and invite him to have a taste.
The wooden door was closed tightly. Gu Boyang was worried about disturbing his nap, so he first looked out of the window. He found Yang Gu sitting cross-legged on the bed, and his right index finger was swollen and black, as if he had been bitten by a Gelsemium snake again. Gu Boyang thought for a while and finally understood that every time Yang Hu returned to the medicine refining hall, he would deliberately avoid him and go to the snake room alone. He was luring the Gelsemium snake to bite him, and his luck would be poisoned, and he would use this to cultivate. Internal force.
The Snake Room is an important area of the medicine refining hall and no outsiders are allowed to approach it. Yang Hu must have obtained the approval of Yi Lian and He Yanzi in advance before he could enter and exit freely. Gu Boyang accidentally broke into his practice and violated a taboo in martial arts. Gu Boyang regretted it endlessly.
Yang Hu's voice came from the window, and he didn't seem to mean to blame: "Since you are here, let's put down the roe deer meat. I have been away from Heshuo for so long, and it is rare to have the opportunity to taste the game of my hometown. Forget it this time, in the future Don't bother me anymore."
"Yes..." Gu Boyang put down the food box and bowed deeply towards the closed wooden door.
