Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu was silent for a moment, then slowly said, ”To be honest, Benefactor Shen is probably poisoned.”
”Poisoned?” Madame SHen was stunned. She thought that she might have contracted some incurable disease, she didn't think that Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu was talking about poison. How could she have been poisoned?
Compared to Madame SHen's surprise, Jin Lan revealed an expression of 'as expected'. Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu had verified the doubt that she had been hiding in her heart, and could not bother to answer Madame SHen's questions. He immediately followed: ”May I ask, Master, what poison is in my mother? Does master have any methods to remove poison? ”
Master Hui Wu looked at Jin Lan thoughtfully. After thinking about it, he turned his head to look at the man in the robe, ”Speaking of which, the person who poisoned him really did put in a lot of effort.” ”There is no such poison in the Zhou Dynasty. I once roamed the world and was fortunate enough to meet one in another place.”
Mentioning the place where the poison resided, the robed man's gaze grew colder. Master Hui Wu paused for a moment before continuing, ”This poison is known as the Drunken Immortal Powder, it doesn't cause any discomfort in the beginning, but as the poison grows deeper, it gradually begins to show signs of restlessness and sleeplessness. This is followed by laziness and a craving for sleep. However, from the pulse, everything seemed normal. The two symptoms alternated and continued for about a month before all the symptoms slowly disappeared. ”The first month of this episode is the month of the four seasons. It's like this every year.”
”If that's the case, then there shouldn't be any major problems. However, it will be a bit difficult when the seasons change. It was just that the longer the poison was poisoned, although it looked no different from an ordinary person on the surface, it was actually greatly damaged. He had invited the famed physician, the Sacred Hand. If he couldn't see anything out of the ordinary about it, he could only treat it as his body weakening and prescribe some medicine to nourish his body and nourish his blood to recuperate. Those prescriptions can't be cured, how can they withstand the corrosive effects of poison? As time passed, the sickbed became more and more entangled, and the bed became more and more sleepless. ”Those with good foundations and precious herbs hanging on their backs can probably last for more than ten or twenty years. Those with bad foundations will die after only a few years after their Essence has been exhausted.”
Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu's words were reasonable, adding on to the fact that this was indeed the case, Madame SHen finally believed that she was truly poisoned, and was no longer able to calm down. When did the poison come into effect? And who could have done such a malicious thing to her? She tried her best to think back. Due to the fact that she had been poisoned for too long, she could not come up with any clues at all even though she had been thinking about it for a long time.
Although Jin Lan was anxious to find out the truth, he did not ignore the change in Madame SHen. Seeing her defeated expression, he couldn't help but move closer to her and call out softly: ”Mother.”
Madame SHen suppressed the fear in her heart, forcing out a smile, doing her best to make her expression appear calmer, she lightly patted Jin Lan's hands: ”Lan Er, don't worry, I'm fine.” Then, he looked at Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu. ”Master, I wonder if I can remove the poison in my body?”
Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu stroked the white beard on his chest, ”This will depend on Benefactor Shen.”
Madame SHen frowned, puzzled. ”Master, please enlighten me.”
Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu did not answer as he continued, ”I still have a few questions, I hope that Benefactor Shen can answer truthfully.”
Seeing that the Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu was changing the topic and had a heavy expression, the Madame SHen's heart could not help but feel slightly cold, but he still politely said: ”Master, please ask.”
”Benefactor Shen should have been taking the blood and Qi replenishing soup, is there a prescription?”
Madame SHen nodded her head, ”Yes there is, but the prescription was kept in the residence and is not carried there. Is that prescription important?”
Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu had obviously guessed at this possibility, his expression did not change, ”To Benefactor Shen, it is indeed very important.”
Could it be that the Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu suspected that there was something wrong with that recipe? Jin Lan suddenly thought of the dregs that Wan Ju had secretly obtained. If the dregs were still there, if he could identify them, he should be able to reveal the true identity of the Doctor Gong. Unfortunately … A look of chagrin flashed in her eyes.
Since it was related to her life, the Madame SHen had to focus even more on it. She thought for a bit, then hesitantly said: ”I have seen the recipe, so I remember a bit about it.”
”Please speak, Benefactor Shen.”
Madame SHen thought about it for a while before she recited the prescription. There were many common herbs, such as ginseng, deer antler, head crow, and so on.
Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu listened and lightly nodded his head. Madame SHen did not bring up whether the prescription was good or bad. He then asked, ”Has Almsgiver Shen used incense everyday?”
”When it comes to incense, Madame SHen actually smiled,” I have always loved incense, especially sandalwood. I brought some here, would you like to take a look, Master? ”
Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu nodded his head, then called Hui Xiu over, ordering her to return to the room to retrieve some bait.
At this moment, Jin Lan had quieted down. Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu repeatedly avoided the topic of detoxification, making her heart gradually sink. The poison in that person's body had clearly been cured. Although it had not been completely removed, it had at least cured more than half of the poison. And from the time he left the house to the time he met his on the small path, it had only been one night. This proved that the Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu had a way to cure his, but why did he refuse to do so now?
She was indulging in her imagination while Hui Xiu jogged to the side, and there was a distance between him and the back of the mountain. Normally, coming and going would take around half an incense worth of time, but Hui Xiu had surprisingly shrunk by half.
Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu took the red lacquer box with the bait, opened it and placed it three inches below his nose. He slightly flapped his nose, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice: ”As this humble monk expected, aside from the Drunken Immortal Powder, Benefactor Shen has another poison in his body!”
