Chapter 46 The man in black comes to die
Time flew by so fast, when night had already fallen and the lights in the Jindan Pavilion became brightly lit, the refining of the second awakening-promoting potion was finally completed.
Due to time constraints, only success is allowed this time, and failure is not allowed. Therefore, except for Li Yao, who has not yet released his self-hypnosis state, everyone else's hearts are beating, and even Ju Guozhen, who has been pretending to be calm, has nervousness on his face.
color.
The night was as cold as water, but Zhen Quan was sweating non-stop. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they saw him trembling slightly, using his right index finger to dip a little potion into his mouth, but when he reached his lips, he frowned.
, suddenly stopped, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it, his old eyes suddenly lit up.
Ju Guozhen saw this and asked involuntarily: "Zhen Weng, how about this medicine?"
Zhen Quan wiped the potion on his fingers, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and replied slowly: "The medicine is made, but I can tell when I smell it that its properties are so strong, not to mention that people can't bear it."
, even if you let a strong cow eat a bottle, I'm afraid he will die on the spot."
Upon hearing this, the two brothers Zhong Kui and Jing Yun began to sweat on their foreheads, and they said anxiously in unison: "Then why did Zhen Weng still say that this medicine has been refined?"
Hearing this, Li Yao thought for a moment and said, "The medicine is naturally made, but it has to be diluted to reduce its potency."
Zhen Quan nodded: "Nvdao Li is right, I was just about to give this suggestion, but..." After saying that, he turned to look at Ju Guozhen who was deep in thought, hesitated for a moment, and then continued:
"We need someone willing to take the risk and try the drug."
As soon as he finished speaking, a vicious voice came from the door: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhen, the person who will test the medicine has already arrived at the door himself."
The five people in the Jindan Pavilion looked towards the door and saw that Qi King Li Yuanji had faded away from the retro attire of the Wei and Jin Dynasty celebrities, and instead put on a solemn imperial robe. Behind him was a burly man wearing Wu Bian's imperial robe.
A military attaché with a beard and blue eyes and a typical Hu appearance.
The two men walked in with murderous intent. When King Qi stopped, the military attache behind him waved the door handle and shouted in a deep voice: "Bring them all in!"
A group of guards carrying knives escorted several people covered in blood. As soon as they came in, they threw the people in their hands on the ground, and then stood on both sides of the door, forming two neat rows. Not long after, they were again
Two warriors brought in a chariot.
Lying on the chariot was a rather young face, about twenty-five or six years old. His face was pale, his lips were blue, and his eyes were closed. If his chest hadn't been heaving, he would have looked like a dead person.
Completely dressed in court attire, crown, shoes and accessories, almost from head to toe, he is of the same grade as Li Yuanji.
Without any introduction, all four masters and disciples of Ju Guozhen could guess that this person was Du Fuwei, that is, Li Fuwei, the king of Wu who was canonized by the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yuanji brought Du Fuwei here, but there was actually nothing he could do.
After all, they returned to Chang'an from Zongshengguan at night, and there were bound to be bumps and tumbles along the way. Li Yuanji asked Master Ju Guozhen and his disciples to complete the refining of the medicine before Haishi because the officials of the imperial court had to gather at the palace gate at the fifth watch.
There is no time to return home.
Seeing that Li Yao and others had not looked away from Du Fuwei for a long time, Li Yuanji's face darkened, and he frowned and reminded: "I have to hurry up, so you can start testing the medicine as soon as possible."
Seeing these bloody people on the ground, Zhen Quan thought of the bloody scene last night. He didn't know what was going on. He shuddered and nodded involuntarily: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Although the clinical trials of this drug were very inhumane, under the power of King Qi, Zhen Quan and the four masters and apprentices Ju Guozhen had no choice but to obey orders.
What's more, just judging from the clothes of these bloody people, Li Yao knew that they were by no means worthy of mercy.
Black scarf, soap coat, night boots... What kind of person would dress like this and sneak into this royal Taoist temple after dark?
That's why King Li Yuanji of Qi taught people to use such heavy blows, beating each of them until they were unconscious and half-dead.
Out of professional habit, Zhen Quan immediately stepped forward to examine the injuries on the blood people one by one, and found that none of them were in danger of life, and their coma state was not much different from that of Du Fuwei who was lying on the chariot.
It's actually a good candidate for drug testing.
For safety reasons, Zhen Quan asked Ju Guozhen and others to dilute a bottle of medicine with water to 20% of the original concentration, and then select one person from the bloody people. Naturally, it would be difficult for a comatose person to take it orally, so he had to think of something else.
Other methods.
Then, in full view of everyone, Divine Doctor Zhen casually took out a handful of green onions from his arms.
Of course, everyone present, including Li Yao from later generations, would not wonder why the old man carried onions with him.
Because there were no rubber or plastic tubes in this era, most ancient Chinese medicine doctors used carefully processed green onion tubes to perform "nasal feeding" drainage operations. Even if the patient could not open his mouth or clenched his teeth and refused to take medicine, he could still be treated.
Give him the medicine, and this "nasal feeding technique" has been recorded as early as in Zhang Zhongjing's "The Synopsis of the Golden Chamber" of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is just a very popular ancient technique for treating diseases, saving people, and even killing people and silencing them.
.
Zhen Quan carefully inserted the long onion tube into the nasal cavity of the tester. He stopped when he felt that the front end of the onion tube had reached the esophagus, and then nodded to Ju Guozhen.
Ju Guozhen stepped forward with the medicine bottle in hand and slowly dripped the filled medicine into the entrance of the onion tube until the entire bottle of medicine was finished.
Then, everyone quietly waited for the tester's reaction.
However, after a long time, the drug tester remained motionless and showed no signs of waking up.
King Li Yuanji of Qi saw that the potency of the medicine seemed to be slightly insufficient, and he was so anxious that he almost burst into anger. He couldn't help shouting: "Don't worry about this person, increase the amount of medicine and try again, test more people at the same time! Try more than one at a time!"
be quick!"
Suddenly hearing King Qi's roar, many guards standing straight on the spot shrank their necks subconsciously. Li Yao and others couldn't bear to hear the king's roar like an angry lion. Anyway, the medicine refined in one time was still
There were a lot, enough to prepare eight or ten bottles, and only one potion to wake up Du Fuwei was enough. Therefore, they did not care about the life and death of these bloody people, and prepared three bottles of potions with different concentrations in one go.
As a result, there was a scene in Jindan Pavilion where three groups of people were "nasally feeding" the drug tester at the same time.
The giant mage and the divine doctor Zhen are still in the same group. The two brothers Zhong Kui and Jingyun naturally form a pair. Li Yao was originally with the burly military attache with red beard and blue eyes next to King Qi, but King Qi Li Yao was in court uniform.
Yuanji saw the rough hands and feet of the military attache, and anxiously rolled up his sleeves to replace him. However, he saw that he was pinching the green onion tube inserted into the other person's nostril with a ferocious expression, but his movements were careful and his eyes were focused. Except for what he was doing
