Not sure whether it was because he was nervous or too excited, Yang Kai's eyes widened and his whole body trembled, "You...you...how do you know?"
At this time, he was also very shocked. He did not expect that the old man with disheveled hair in front of him would be a master of Taixuan. You must know that Taixuan is at the pinnacle of purple energy. He has practiced Qi to the extreme and is almost invincible in the martial arts.
Seeing that there was no answer, Yang Kai asked again, "Taoist Master, how do you know that my master is originally a Taixuan cultivator?"
After coming back to his senses, he said, "The meridians and air points of people who practice qi are different from ordinary people. When I took the pulse from my neck just now, I found that the blood flow rate at the Shaoyang Tianmo point on his hands and the Taiyang Tianzhu point on his feet was very fast.
Extraordinary person, this shows that he previously practiced the Great Zhou Tian Kung Fu and has achieved great success. There is another reason why I concluded that he has a Taixuan cultivation level, that is, although his blood flow is very fast, his heartbeat is extremely slow.
Less than half of ordinary people.”
Hearing the words, Yang Kai was both surprised and happy, "Taoist Master, my master is now like this because he was poisoned. Can you be compassionate and help him detoxify?"
At this time, the ancient man had broken free from Yang Kai's embrace, looking around for the little mouse that had escaped earlier, turned to look at him, and turned back to Yang Kai and said, "I'm not sure."
"Can I give it a try?" Yang Kai asked excitedly.
After nodding, he walked up to the old man and took a closer look. Then with the help of Yang Kai, he inspected the old man's skin, bones and hair, and finally forcibly inspected the old man's tongue coating and the whites of his eyes.
"How is it?" Yang Kai stared nervously.
"Do you know what kind of poison he was poisoned with?" he asked.
Yang Kai slowly shook his head.
"How long will your master live this year?" he asked again.
"Two out of seventy," Yang Kai said.
He nodded and said, "He was poisoned at least ten years ago. He was plotted by someone. The person who plotted against him should be the people around him."
Hearing the words, Yang Kai took a breath of cold air, "Why did the Taoist Master say this?"
"The poison he was poisoned was taken orally. The specific poison is still unknown, but this poison should belong to the fire attribute. Fire poisons are pungent," he said, "If my guess is correct,
He must have been drinking when he was poisoned, and the other person put the poison in his wine, using the smell of alcohol to cover up the pungent smell of the poison. The person who poisoned him was the person who drank with him."
Yang Kai said in a trembling voice, "It was Master's sixtieth birthday when he was poisoned. I was only seven years old at that time and was ignorant."
After Yang Kai finished speaking, Ni Chenyi on the side asked, "Dare you ask me about your master's name?"
Yang Kai hesitated a little, but finally said, "My master's surname is Gu, and his given name is derived from the word "Yuan"."
Ni Chenyi nodded and did not ask any more questions. Gu Yan was a Taixuan cultivator and must have been a well-known figure in the world back then. However, neither she nor she knew much about things in the world. In addition, Gu Yan's poisoning happened twelve years ago.
It has been so long that people in the world must have forgotten about this person, and few people mention him again.
"Taoist Master, can my master be saved?" Yang Kai was very nervous.
"With all due respect, I don't have much hope." He shook his head slowly.
Hearing the words, Yang Kai couldn't hide his inner frustration and disappointment.
Ni Chenyi spoke up to discuss, "It's not convenient for diagnosis and treatment here. How about we go back to the inn first and then make further arrangements?"
"There are so many people in the inn, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient." Yang Kai was worried.
Ni Chenyi pondered for a moment and said, "We have a lot of property in the city. How about choosing a secluded courtyard to stay?"
Seeing that Yang Kai didn't refuse, Ni Chenyi got up and walked out. She hadn't been back for a long time. She only knew that her home had many courtyards in Chang'an, but she didn't know where they were. She could only ask the accompanying retinue.
"Brother Yang, don't worry, I will do my best," he said in relief, "It would be best if it can get better, but even if it doesn't, I can guarantee that your master's condition will not worsen as a result."
"Thank you so much, Taoist Priest," Yang Kai hurriedly handed over his hands to express his thanks, "It's just that Master and I have nothing to offer, so we only receive the Taoist Priest's kindness but cannot repay our gratitude."
"Brother Yang is seeing someone else," he shook his head and said, "I don't want to repay the favor. I just respect your character and want to make friends with you."
"Ashamed, ashamed," Yang Kai waved his hands repeatedly, "Our master and disciple are in such a miserable state, how can the Taoist master come to establish friendship."
While the two were talking, Ni Chenyi came back, "We have several houses in Xicheng. The nearest one is only two streets away. Let's go there."
Naturally, he didn't have any objections, but Yang Kai felt very sorry. The two persuaded him hard, and Yang Kai fearfully coaxed his master to follow them to the house Ni Chenyi mentioned.
here
The house is located in the second courtyard. There is an old concierge and two maids, one old and one young. The old maid knew Ni Chenyi. When she saw her coming, she was so happy that she talked endlessly about the relationship she had with Ni Chenyi when she lived in the house.
They had known each other in the past, but it was obvious that Ni Chenyi was not very impressed by her. After a few polite words, he ordered them to go cook and clean the room.
Gu Yan is insane and crazy. He likes to look for things everywhere. He has no specific goal and just rummaging around aimlessly.
Once the door was closed, Gu Yan couldn't escape, and Yang Kai could talk to him with peace of mind.
The two met by chance and had to introduce themselves. After talking, Yang Kai knew that he and Ni Chenyi were both disciples of Longhu Mountain, and that they came to Chang'an to participate in a martial arts competition. The two also knew some information about Yang Kai and Gu Yan.
Gu Yan was originally the head of Qingyun Mountain, and Yang Kai was the disciple he accepted in his later years. In fact, he was not a disciple, because Gu Yan had an accident not long after he brought Yang Kai back to Qingyun Mountain, and Yang Kai did not become a disciple.
present.
If we divide it according to the major sects, Qingyun Mountain belongs to the Confucian sect, and the Zhen sect's secret skill, Zhou Tian Sheng Gong, is very mysterious. However, Qingyun Mountain is strict in recruiting disciples, and there are not many disciples. When Gu Yan was in charge of Qingyun Mountain, there were only a hundred disciples.
Man, in the early days of Gu Yan's poisoning, his disciples were still running around asking for medical advice, but as time went by, Gu Yan's condition never improved, and everyone slowly lost hope and went down the mountain one after another. Finally,
Yang Kai was the only one left to accompany Gu Yan.
The reason why Yang Kai has been following Gu Yan is because Gu Yan saved his life. Yang Kai's father was an official with Jinshi background. He encountered bandits on his way to another place and everyone including Yang Kai's parents died.
, just when the thieves wanted to kill Yang Kai, Gu Yan passed by, rescued Yang Kai and killed the bandits.
Listening to Yang Kai's talk, he couldn't help but think of his late master. Yang Kai's experiences were very similar to his. They both received favors from others in times of crisis, and he didn't follow his master for a long time. In fact, Yang Kai had already followed Gu Yan.
It has been more than ten years, but these years Gu Yan has been confused and confused.
"Brother Yang, who taught you Kung Fu?" he asked.
"My master, he wakes up for a moment every few days," Yang Kai sighed and said, "He is not completely awake, but he is not as hazy as he is now. His mind is still not very clear. Occasionally he will recite a few formulas. I will remember them silently.
Next, try to figure it out and practice."
"How have you spent these years?" asked.
> "Master does not value fame and wealth. There is not much gold and silver in the mountain," Yang Kai said. "When everyone went down the mountain, they took away all the gold and silver they could. In order to live, I can only pawn the remaining things on the mountain.
I sold it, but I was young at the time, and unscrupulous merchants could not avoid cheating and expropriation. I could only accept as much as they gave me. Today, there are only a few wooden houses left in the mountains, and I even sold the main hall.
"
"Doesn't your master have any relatives or friends?" he asked again.
Yang Kai shook his head and said, "If a tree is beautiful in the forest, it will be destroyed by the wind, and if a person is beautiful in the crowd, it will be slandered. Back then, the master's Zhoutian Divine Skill reached its peak, and there were few opponents in the north and south of the country. Who is not envious, who is not jealous, they smiled at each other when the master was well."
Wait, after the master was in trouble, he couldn't avoid it. It was kind and righteous not to add insult to injury. Who would do that?"
I wanted to ask Yang Kai why he didn't take Gu Yan to seek medical treatment, but he changed his mind and held it back. The reason was simple: Yang Kai had no money.
He also wanted to ask Yang Kai if he knew who the murderer was and the motive behind the poisoning, but in the end he didn't ask. The reason was simple. Yang Kai was very young when the incident occurred and there was no way he could know this.
"Did you come to Chang'an this time to receive orders from the imperial court?" Ni Chenyi asked.
Yang Kai nodded, "The imperial court must not be very familiar with things in the Jianghu. I don't know that Qingyun Mountain has declined, and they also sent someone to inform us. I brought Master here because I was desperate and wanted to find a way out. In recent years, there have been many
There is a famine and we really can’t stay in the mountains any longer.”
At this point, the maids came to tell them that the food was ready. Ni Chenyi ordered them to bring the food. The two of them had already eaten before, and the food they cooked this time was prepared for their master and apprentice.
The food cooked by the maid was not very elaborate, but the master and apprentice devoured it. It was obvious that they had not had a decent meal in a long time.
The medicine that was taken for Yang Kai before was also taken by the maid to suffer. Yang Kai was injured and the competition was about to take place. He must take medicine for treatment as soon as possible.
After the meal, Guyan fell asleep and was able to observe and diagnose his symptoms more carefully, but the results of the examination were not ideal.
Seeing his face solemn, Yang Kai asked eagerly, "How?"
Said, "After my master noticed the poisoning, he tried to force out the poison with luck. He was able to save his life because of his profound cultivation, but the poison he was poisoned was very overbearing. Although he suppressed the poison, he was unable to prevent the poison from invading the Seven Aperture God.
