Chapter 34. After all, it's a man-made disaster
The time travel begins in Wudang, Chapter 34 of the main volume. After all, it was a man-made disaster. Lu Zhi has been a monk and practiced Taoism for many years, but so far, he has not really encountered any ghosts and supernatural things, so for Chen Mao
He actually didn't really believe in the saying that witches were tired of winning.
Although there are some mysterious martial arts that can do such incomprehensible things, they are not truly top-notch among immortals, gods, ghosts and monsters.
"Okay, let's go meet the officials together first," he said.
"That's fine." Chen Mao nodded, then suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Taoist Qingzhi, do you know any methods of exorcising evil spirits and praying for blessings? Why don't you give it a try to the officials later?"
"
Lu Zhi: ""This matter can't be settled yet, right?
At the moment, he ignored Chen Mao and just walked forward on his own.
The two of them went all the way to Zhao Xu's palace, and after letting the gatekeeper Xiao Huangmen enter the palace to report, they were summoned by Zhao Xu.
"Chen Douzhi, Taoist Master Qingzhi, you are here."
"Official family."
"Is your Majesty okay?"
Zhao Xu was seen leaning on the bed with a pale face, his brows slightly furrowed, and a hint of pain. He really looked seriously ill.
Seeing Lu Zhi staring at Zhao Xu's face, Chen Mao couldn't help asking him: "How is it? Did you see anything? Is he caught up with something dirty?"
Lu Zhi just glanced sideways at Chen Mao and ignored him. Then he saluted Zhao Xu and said, "Guan, can I let Pindao take your pulse?"
"Taoist Master Qingzhi is too polite. Please come directly forward."
Lu Zhi immediately stepped forward, raised his hand and put it on Zhao Xu's wrist, releasing a ray of pure Yang Qi that circulated in his body along his meridians.
"Master Qingzhi, how are you? Is my situation really serious?" Seeing Lu Zhi's cautious expression, Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel nervous.
Not only is it serious, the internal organs in Zhao Xu's body are already exhausted. If he hadn't relied on the prescriptions prescribed by the imperial doctor and kept replenishing his vitality with precious medicines, I'm afraid these Zhao Xu wouldn't even have the strength to stand up.
.
However, Lu Zhi obviously would not tell the truth to avoid worrying Zhao Xu.
So he didn't answer at first, but followed his spiritual sense and walked around the hall. Then he leaned down, turned his five fingers into claws, pierced the floor tile, and pulled the entire floor tile up from the ground.
Looking at the insect repellent powder mixed with realgar, lead and mercury powder sprinkled under the floor tiles, Lu Zhi had already determined what happened to Zhao Xu's strange disease.
"Guardian, please rest assured. Your illness is not serious. As long as you are properly treated, you will be able to recover."
"Taoist Master Qingzhi, do you see where the official's illness lies?" Chen Mao asked.
Lu Zhi nodded: "It's poisoning."
"What?! Poisoned?!" Chen Mao was instantly shocked.
Zhao Xu also had a look of surprise on his face: "Priest Qingzhi, do you think I have been poisoned?!"
But Lu Zhi shook his head: "It's not necessarily an attempt to kill the official. This disease is caused by heavy metal poisoning, probably lead and mercury. The cause of the disease comes from the underground of the palace, especially the official.
In this part of the palace, the lead and mercury content in the ground can already affect the people in the palace."
From the moment he walked into Zhao Xu's palace, Lu Zhi felt uncomfortable all over his body. At first, he couldn't tell what was the reason. It wasn't until he saw Zhao Xu and carefully observed his symptoms that he realized it.
, it turned out to be because the heavy metals here exceeded the standard.
When Lu Zhi was still in modern times, one of his classmates accidentally swallowed the mercury in the thermometer, causing heavy metal poisoning. Lu Zhi always remembered that incident very vividly, so Lu Zhi was able to judge Zhao Xu based on his symptoms.
It turned out that he was probably poisoned by heavy metals.
"Heavy metal poisoning?" Zhao Xu and Chen Mao obviously couldn't understand this unfamiliar term, but they were not stupid people, so their eyes subconsciously turned to the powder in the pit.
"Taoist Master Qingzhi, are you saying that these repellent powders that prevent the breeding of snakes, insects, rats, and ants can even affect humans?"
Chen Mao and Zhao Xu also knew that insect repellent powder was poisonous, but what they didn't know was that even people could be affected by it.
"This is nature. Where we live, if the content of heavy metals, such as lead and mercury, in the ground is too high, the human body will be affected. Over time, poisoning symptoms will occur, and eventually the internal organs will fail and die."
After hearing what Lu Zhi said, Zhao Xu didn't know what he thought of. His face suddenly turned ferocious, and his eyes radiated a fierce light that chose to devour others!
"So that's it! I also want to ask why those 'modesty gentlemen' are suddenly concerned about the infestation of snakes and rats in the palace where I live. That's it!!!!"
Zhao Xu's words seemed to have something to say, and Chen Mao also whispered in Lu Zhi's ear: "Half a year ago, the Grand Tutor once proposed to the officials in the court that there were too many snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the palace.
, when he entered the palace, he saw a poisonous snake crawling across the beam."
Lu Zhi understood instantly, but his face showed nothing.
This kind of matter between kings, ministers and court has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't want to pay attention to it at all.
"Guan family." Lu Zhi said, "Your body can no longer live in this palace. It's best to move out of the palace as soon as possible, and then send people to clean up the palace while you recuperate.
of lead and mercury”
After Zhao Xu took a few deep breaths, his mood finally calmed down.
"Thank you, Taoist Priest Qingzhi, for reminding me. I will move to Prince Duan's Mansion tonight."
Lu Zhi nodded: "In that case, Pindao will feel at ease. Pindao will resign first."
He could understand with his fingers that Zhao Xu would definitely be in a violent storm next, but he didn't want to pay attention to it at all, so it was better to leave quickly with an excuse.
"Fortunately, I am not feeling well, so I won't get up to see Master Qingzhi off."
"The officials are showing favor to you, and the poor Taoist can just leave on his own."
Sure enough, just a few steps after Lu Zhi walked out of the palace, he faintly heard Zhao Xu's suppressed roar.
"Chen Mao! Let me investigate this matter immediately!"
Zi Luzhi shook his head secretly. It seemed that many people might die in Bianliang City tomorrow.
After leaving the palace, Lu Zhi went directly back to the school bookstore. For the next two days, Lu Zhi did not leave the house again.
Then at noon on the third day, Chen Mao came to the door and asked him to come to Prince Duan's mansion to treat Zhao Xu.
On the way, Lu Zhi curiously asked Chen Mao: "How is it going? Has the master Taifu solved it?"
Chen Mao nodded: "Everything has been resolved, and no one involved in this matter has been left behind!"
"Seriously, you really should go to the morning court today to see what the expression on the Taifu's face was like. The official ordered that there were many snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the Taifu's mansion, so he asked the guards to guard the palace.
All the anthelmintics buried in the ground inside the palace were dug out and buried in the Taifu's Mansion."
Lu Zhi raised his eyebrows. It was really true that Zhao Xu was so bad that he actually came up with this way to take revenge.
However, this matter didn't have much to do with him. He was curious and asked about it. After hearing this, he stopped paying attention.
The two of them walked very quickly, and not long after, they arrived at Prince Duan's Mansion and met Zhao Xu.
Seeing Zhao Xu again, the complexion on his face undoubtedly improved a lot. After all, he was no longer in an environment with excessive heavy metals all the time, and the symptoms of poisoning would naturally not worsen.
After sorting out the meridians in Zhao Xu's body with Pure Yang Qi and Yiyang Finger, Zhao Xu bluntly said that his body felt much better. After drinking the medicine, he fell into a deep sleep.
Lu Zhi also lived in Prince Duan's Mansion, mainly because Chen Maofei had to drag him to stay.
After all, Prince Duan's Mansion is no larger than the Imperial Palace, and its defensive strength is definitely much weaker, so it is undoubtedly a good thing to have a master like Lu Zhi here.
In the early morning of this day, Lu Zhi was practicing.
I saw him sitting upright facing due east, making mudra with his hands while holding his breath and meditating. There was a faint golden light flowing outside the surface of his body!
‘The Xuanzong of Heaven and Earth, the fundamental root of Wanqi, cultivated extensively for thousands of kalpas, and proved my magical powers’
While silently reciting the golden mantra in his mind, he visualized the golden sun. Slowly, a wisp of golden flames that could be clearly seen with the naked eye rose from outside his body, and then gradually spread and solidified.
After acquiring the Golden Light Divine Curse cultivation method, Lu Zhi has been practicing it for nearly half a month, and it was only today that he was barely officially introduced.
After "calling" for a long time, Lu Zhi opened his eyes and exhaled a long white arrow, but his face showed a look of exhaustion.
This Golden Light Divine Curse was still a bit too hard to practice. Every time he practiced it, it cost him a lot of energy and spirit, but it couldn't be used as a means to fight the enemy.
After all, condensing the golden light on his body almost consumes most of his true energy, let alone using it to fight the enemy.
