Although Jingshitang is notorious in the martial arts world, he is rarely recognized as a good doctor in Xinglin.
Jingshitang is best at treating all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases, and it is well-known far and wide. Not only in Guanggui City, but also in the entire prefecture, and even in the surrounding prefectures, people come here to seek medical treatment.
But Jingshi Tang’s medical skills are not only amazing, but the prices are also amazing. If you can’t afford the sky-high medical expenses, even if a person dies at their door, they will never take a second look. This is also the most criticized thing about Jingshi Tang
Even to the point of hatred.
The owner of Zhuge Yaolu once said of Jingshitang - "This is a gang that does medical treatment business. Their main business is to commit evil."
This statement is widely recognized by the public, and this is exactly the image of Jingshitang in everyone's mind.
However, Jingshitang has been criticized again and again. Those who suffer from intractable diseases and seek medical treatment everywhere without success still come here to seek the last hope of survival. There is a generally recognized consensus in the apricot forest of Yue State - after all, a patient still has a chance to survive.
There is no cure, only Jingshitang has the final say.
A considerable number of patients who were judged to be dead by famous doctors came to Jingshi Hall with luck and survived.
In the memory of the seal that Su Yi saw, the reason why the old owner of Zhuge Yaolu no longer had trouble with Guo Yancheng and his Jingshitang was not because the old man was generous, but because a patient was killed by the old man himself.
He was determined that medicine and stone were ineffective, but was cured by his traitor Guo Yancheng at Jingshi Hall. This made the old man very frustrated and depressed. From then on, he never cared about his grudges with Jingshi Hall.
But why are Jingshi Tang’s medical skills so brilliant?
Is it because Guo Yancheng has outstanding talent in this area and is better than his master?
Yes and no, it is true that Guo Yancheng has outstanding talents, but the most important thing is that in order to seek the secret of immortality, he went so far as to collect corpses and even dissect living people everywhere. As a result, he has not found the secret of immortality, but instead indirectly used his medical skills.
Innovating from the old and bringing forth the new has embarked on an unprecedented path.
After all, dissecting a living person is too horrifying and cruel. After all, Guo Yancheng is not a pervert, but he is still very psychologically stressed about it. Therefore, he only does it once in a while by chance, and the scope of his knowledge is limited to him.
Three disciples.
But dissecting dead people was done by most people in Jingshi Hall, and Guo Yancheng dragged all the apprentices who came to Jingshi Hall to study medicine into the water.
Among the courses he taught, there was a special anatomy class. Therefore, the demand for cadavers in Jingshi Hall was very high.
If we only look at the surface, based on Su Yi's modern thinking and understanding, Guo Yancheng is both a madman and a genius, a wave of the times that can promote changes in medical technology.
But the problem lies in the source of corpses used in Jingshi Hall for teaching and researching the secret of immortality. These days, there are no general teachers who are willing to donate their own corpses. The only source for Guo Yancheng and others to obtain corpses is-stealing!
They go around stealing freshly buried corpses. If they dare not steal nearby, they go to surrounding counties, towns and mountain villages to steal them. Sometimes if they are in urgent need of corpses, they will also "make" some corpses by themselves.
In troubled times, human life is like nothing. Some untouchables in remote areas just die, and no one cares about them at all.
A month ago, Guo Yancheng personally organized a "hunting". His target was a village of dozens of people who lived in seclusion in the mountains to avoid exorbitant taxes.
This is a rare "big operation". If it succeeds, it will at least solve the "source of corpses" that have been in Jingshi Hall for the past three months. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong and no news will be exposed, Guo Yancheng personally led his close men to walk dozens of miles at night.
He rushed to the stronghold and personally led the team to fight in.
With their martial arts, these Orion Mountain people were completely powerless to fight back, and they almost lost their lives in their sleep.
The operation went very smoothly, and everyone in the village, from the elderly to the infants, were killed without leaving any life.
After the killing, Guo Yancheng organized his disciples and cronies to load the bodies into carriages in batches, and then drove to Guanggui City under the cover of night.
But halfway through the return journey, an incredible and strange thing happened!
From the carriage filled with corpses, a little girl covered in blood crawled out and stood on the carriage shaft with a blank expression, looking around.
Guo Yancheng was the first to discover it and was immediately surprised!
Because he personally checked the corpses one by one and confirmed that everyone was dead, but why is there still one alive now?
"Kill her!" Guo Yancheng immediately ordered his disciples to kill her without having time to think about it.
The nearest disciple stepped forward and stabbed the little girl in the stomach. The girl seemed to be just an ordinary person and didn't know how to dodge. She was stabbed directly through by the knife.
She clutched her stomach in pain, her eyes widened in disbelief, and she screamed in pain.
Something terrible happened!
The little girl's screams were just the terrified screams of a girl at first, but as she screamed, she turned into an inhuman roar!
There was no way that sound could have come from a human voice.
As the howling became louder and louder, the little girl's body suddenly burst out with colorful light. Her body grew bigger and bigger, and colorful feathers sprouted out. Her face also began to deform, giving birth to long and pointed feathers.
beak.
After a while, she turned into a colorful phoenix bird more than one foot tall!
With one claw she clawed the man who had stabbed her to pieces. Then she flapped her wings, and several people in front of her were blown away by him. She opened her mouth and exhaled a breath of white air at the person in front of her who wanted to turn around and run away.
The person was immediately frozen in a piece of ice crystal, his whole body turned into an ice sculpture, and he froze to death.
In just a few seconds, six or seven people died!
"Monsters..." No one in Jingshi Hall has seen this battle before? Guo Yancheng's disciples were immediately frightened and fled in all directions, not daring to stay at all.
Guo Yancheng was also scared at first, but after being frightened, he became greedy and unwillingly used a handful of hidden weapons to attack the colorful phoenix.
But as soon as his dart hit the feathers of the colorful phoenix, it was bounced away, causing no harm to it at all.
At this time, Guo Yancheng gave up completely and turned around and ran away without hesitation.
His attack angered Phoenix, who abandoned the others and pursued him.
The soul of Guo Yancheng ran away like crazy, but how could he escape? He was about to be caught up by the Phoenix. At this time, the Phoenix behind him suddenly froze and stopped. His body quickly shrank, and his feathers quickly faded, and finally he transformed again.
The girl before him was covered in red and fell to the ground without knowing whether she was alive or dead.
But after ten breaths, the girl woke up faintly, stood up and looked around at a loss. Where was there any wound on her body?
Guo Yancheng was shocked and doubtful, and did not dare to approach. He forced a disciple to go forward to investigate.
When the disciple arrived, he tried to tie up the girl with a rope, but the girl showed no resistance. Guo Yancheng immediately threw a delayed-acting poisonous medicine and asked the disciple to feed it to the girl.
The girl stupidly swallowed the medicine in one gulp, as if eating jelly beans, and just muttered with a bitter face: "It's bitter, it doesn't taste good."
Guo Yancheng looked carefully for a moment and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was sure that when this girl was in human form, she would become powerless and would not remember what happened just now. If you ask her, she will say, no
When I asked her, she just sat there in a daze. She didn't struggle even though she was tied up, and she didn't feel ashamed even if she didn't wear any clothes.
On the contrary, Guo Yancheng felt it was very indecent and asked his disciples to put a long gown on the girl.
"What's your name? Where are you from? What are you?" Guo Yancheng asked repeatedly, but the answers he received were either unknown or inexplicable giggles.
In the end, Guo Yancheng had to give up, but he was not discouraged. On the contrary, his heart was filled with excitement.
He felt that he had found a treasure.
After bringing the girl back to Jingshi Hall, he immediately locked the girl in the dungeon himself, and then had the walls and iron doors of the dungeon reinforced.
Then he almost couldn't wait to read through a lot of information to find out what kind of strange bird the girl took after her transformation.
He really found out. In an ancient book, he found out that there is a magical creature called the phoenix. The description of this phoenix is exactly the same as the transformed image of this girl.
And there are many kinds of phoenixes. There is a kind of phoenix that can turn everything into ice, called ice phoenix.
Phoenix also has a very magical physique - immortality. As long as they reach certain conditions and levels, they can continue to be reborn. Therefore, in theory, every phoenix is immortal.
After reading these information, Guo Yancheng was extremely excited. Immortality? Nirvana and rebirth?
Isn't this the immortality he has been pursuing?
It's really hard to find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort at all!
From then on, Guo Yancheng called the girl the "Immortal Girl", locked her in a dungeon, and gave her meals and vegetables every day to keep her alive.
After a month of research, he discovered that this girl will transform into an ice phoenix form as long as she is greatly stimulated. However, the ice phoenix form can last for up to ten breaths before she returns to human form. This girl has no fighting ability in her human form.
of.
And even when she was in the body of the ice phoenix, this girl didn't have any sanity at all. She would only be irritable for ten breaths before she died down and turned into a human again.
This discovery gave Guo Yancheng both joy and headache. What made him happy was that the girl was so stupid that she had no idea of escaping while hiding in the dungeon. What made Guo Yancheng sad was that there was only one chance to draw the girl's blood, and that was every time she changed.
The short ten breaths that passed away behind me
Guo Yancheng tried every means to draw the girl's blood, including using drugs, poison, knocking her out, or even forcibly taking blood.
When it comes to using medicine, a small dose will have no effect. A slightly larger dose will stimulate the girl and turn her into an ice phoenix.
It is impossible to knock her unconscious. She will not faint at all after being hit for a while. Unless it is a fatal blow, otherwise she will transform into an ice phoenix and immediately tear the person who hit her into pieces.
The consequences of forcibly taking blood are the same.
In order to obtain Bingfeng's blood, Guo Yancheng had already killed several of his disciples.
But every time after the girl transformed, she would faint briefly for ten breaths. Guo Yancheng, who had concluded this rule, used the ten breaths to quickly draw blood, and then left. However, after paying the price of more than ten lives, he successfully accumulated a small bottle.
blood.
Then Guo Yancheng began his experimental journey.
He first took out a small drop of blood and gave it to an ape, but the ape immediately exploded and died.
After that, Guo Yancheng tried ferocious animals such as wolves, bison and even tigers, but the results were without exception. These animals could not bear the blood of the girl at all. Even a small drop of blood was enough to cause these animals to explode and die.
He then tried to dilute this small drop of blood into a large basin of water, and then divided the water into dozens of parts and gave them to some animals to drink, but the result was still not much better. Although these animals would not explode and die immediately.
, but they will become dying and lie motionless on the ground.
After Guo Yancheng observed for more than ten days, some of these animals were dead, while others were barely alive but seemed to die at any time.
So he lost patience and began to experiment on people.
The result once again disappointed him. Anyone who took the girl's blood would explode and die.
If it is diluted blood, people who take it will be as dying as those animals.
Just when Guo Yancheng was disappointed, a disciple unexpectedly persisted and his martial arts skyrocketed!
He was overjoyed and hurriedly investigated and found out that this disciple was actually the one with the strongest internal energy among all the people who experimented. After taking the girl's blood, he immediately meditated for three days to exercise his internal energy. As a result, he suffered three days of hard work.
The practice was comparable to his ten years of meditation, which made his inner strength soar.
Guo Yancheng was inexplicably excited, thinking he had found the right path, but reality gave him a blow again.
On the afternoon of the fourth day, when this disciple was meditating, his meridians and blood vessels all over his body burst and he died. He died very miserably.
Guo Yancheng was very unwilling. He learned from the pain, summed up his failure experience, and finally came to two conclusions:
First, this disciple's internal strength is still not high enough and his potential is too low, so he cannot withstand the girl's blood; second, the girl's blood needs to be diluted again.
After reaching these two conclusions, Guo Yancheng set the target of the experiment on his eldest disciple Feng Biao.
Feng Biao has the highest talent potential among all the disciples, and also has the strongest internal strength, almost catching up with his master.
But the problem is that Feng Biao participated in all the experiments, and he knew the power of the girl's blood.
This was not a problem for Guo Yancheng. He mixed the diluted blood into wine and tricked Feng Biao into drinking it. Only when Feng Biao felt something was wrong did he tell Feng Biao the truth.
Before Feng Biao could take action, he threatened Feng Biao's wife and children to force Feng Biao to cooperate with his experiment.
Feng Biao surrendered as expected, but he resented Guo Yancheng very much in his heart. Although his daily martial arts progress was rapid, he could clearly feel a violent force entrenched in his body, becoming more and more unstable and becoming more and more unstable.
The trend of explosion.
He had no confidence that he could control this increasingly violent energy, and he had no idea how to resolve it.
