Chapter 424 Fighting poison with poison
...
The boy is our protagonist, Ou Chuyang, who is poisonous to black blood silk in his body. At this moment, he is using the most primitive method: running and training himself.
As hard as he walked, the heavy steps he took fell on the ground, making a dull sound. Whenever Qingchen, who was standing in the courtyard, heard this heavy muffled sound, his heart trembled.
"Oh, what a hardworking child, now he is like this." Qing Chen sighed in his heart while his eyes were faint.
Indeed, Ou Chuyang's actions made the old man over 50 shake his head in shame. He was extremely poisonous and had a body of Wuwei-level internal energy that could not be used. Anyone would feel depressed. But what made Qingchen look at him was that Ou Chuyang in front of him seemed to not take it seriously, and he still insisted on training step by step.
In a vague way, Qingchen began to complain, "If there was no such thing as fighting elixir, maybe, soon, another super strong man would appear on the mainland. But now, alas, even if this poison can be cured in the future, but in the future..."
Thinking of this, Qingchen dared not think about it. At the age of eleven, this age is the most precious period of cultivation. The most important thing for a talented genius is also this period. However, with this poison, I am afraid that this precious time will be wasted, and even Ou Chuyang's talent will be greatly affected.
Just as Qingchen sighed secretly and felt regretful, there were sloppy footsteps behind him.
When he heard the sound, Qingchen did not look back because he knew that those who could enter and exit the courtyard at this time were originally from the Dantang and were also the ones he arranged.
Behind Qingchen, a little boy walked over slowly, then whispered a few words in the former's ear, and then retreated respectfully. However, the moment he left, his eyes secretly looked at Ou Chuyang while he was training, revealing a hint of admiration.
"Ou Chuyang, Qiu Na is here."
When the little boy stepped back, Qingchen softly called Ou Chuyang who was running tired, and the latter slowed down after hearing the sound and finally stopped.
He smeared his sweaty forehead with his sleeve. Ou Chuyang turned around and looked at Qingchen who was calling him, then responded calmly, saying, "I understand, I'll change my clothes."
Without saying much, Qingchen nodded and walked out of the courtyard, but Ou Chuyang returned to Dian Pavilion's residence.
Ou Chuyang changed into clean clothes and came to the living room of Dantang. When he just walked into the hall, the former found that Qing Chen and Qiu Na who was invited by him were not the only one in the hall, but also the figure of his uncle Qiu Sheng next to Qiu Na. What puzzled Ou Chuyang was that Qiu Sheng was also pushing a wheelchair, and there was an old man he had never seen before.
The old man in the wheelchair had white hair, his knees were covered with a yellow blanket, his face was covered with vicissitudes of wrinkles, and his slightly bent body showed an old look. If Ou Chuyang read it correctly, there was a hint of pathology on that old face.
When they saw Ou Chuyang coming in, the few people turned their eyes to the former and nodded slightly. The former also walked forward with full of questions.
"Old Qiu, Aunt Na." Ou Chuyang approached, bowed slightly, greeted him, and then looked at Qiu Na with the inquiring look.
Seeing Ou Chuyang looking at him, Qiu Na immediately understood and said softly: "Xiaoran, I'll introduce you to you." As he said that, Qiu Na looked at the old man who was drooling and said: "This is my father, and the current president of the Marin Chamber of Commerce, Qiu Zhan."
Hearing this, Ou Chuyang was solemn and immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Hello, Mr. Qiu."
"Cough~" Qiu Zhan coughed heavily, and after a long time of rest, he looked at Ou Chuyang carefully, and replied, "Hello, little brother. I have always heard Qiu Na and the second brother talk about you. I should have come to see you for a long time, but I didn't expect that because of my health, I never had a chance. Today I will meet you. Qiu Zhan first thanked the little brother for helping me for helping me." Qiu Zhan said, struggling and trying to stand up, as if he was going to give Ou Chuyang a big gift.
"Senior, no." Seeing this, Ou Chuyang was shocked and quickly approached, holding Qiu Zhan who was about to get up and said, "Where does this start?"
When Ou Chuyang held it down, Qiu Zhan shook his head helplessly, then coughed a few more times, sighing: "Oh, I'm old, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to cure this disease. If my brothers came to help in Qipan Town that day, I'm afraid not only my daughter will suffer, but also the reputation of the Marin Chamber of Commerce will be greatly damaged."
His eyes turned to Qiu Na. After seeing the other party's smile, Ou Chuyang suddenly realized that Qiu Zhan was dragging his sick body to thank him.
Qiu Na looked at Ou Chuyang with a smile, then explained: "My father has been in a coma and has just woken up recently. After I told him what happened to Ziyun, I insisted on coming to my door to thank him in person."
After holding Qiu Zhan's body firmly, Ou Chuyang then let go of his hands and said politely: "What is Mr. Qiu saying? Aunt Na and I are friends. I have some help, of course I have to help if I can."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Sheng, who was standing beside him, said seriously: "Little brother, don't be humble. My elder brother has known you for a long time. If he hadn't been sick, he would have come to thank him long ago. How could I forget the kindness of my Qiu family of the little brother to me, the Marin Chamber of Commerce?"
During the period when Ou Chuyang was in a coma, Qing Chen had already heard Qiu Sheng mention Ou Chuyang and Qiu Na's actions in Qipan Town. He had heard it at that time, and the former was a little surprised and lamented that Ou Chuyang was so scheming. However, when he saw the two of them being polite, Qing Chen couldn't sit still.
"Brother Qiu, don't be polite to Ou Chuyang. Speaking of which, you are quite destined to be."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Zhan and Qingchen both smiled slightly, but the smile also revealed a slight bitterness.
"Is there any fate?" Ou Chuyang scratched his head in confusion. He had no idea what fate he had with this old man he had never met.
Seeing that Ou Chuyang was confused, Qing Chen sighed: "Ou Chuyang, you don't know that Brother Qiu was once a strong man of the Martial Master level, but now..."
Turning his head to look at Qiu Zhan, Qing Chen shook his head, and then said, "If it weren't for the black-blooded silkworm poison, he wouldn't be like this now."
Qing Chen's words shocked Ou Chuyang, then turned his gaze to Qiu Zhan and said in horror: "Old Qiu was also hit by this black-blooded silk?"
Ou Chuyang's scream echoed in the dull hall, but this not-so-high voice was filled with unbelievable meaning.
Hearing this, Qiu Zhan smiled and nodded and said, "Our situation is almost the same, but I have been poisoned for a while, for twenty years. Now I am not even as good as ordinary people."
Qiu Zhan said, with a hint of sadness unnaturally in his tone. Obviously, this deadly toxin had already tortured the old man who had once been a powerful man in Wu Zun.
"Oh, let's not talk about these things anymore. It's all about the past. It's better not to mention them. I heard that the little brother asked Brother Qingchen to find Qiu Na this time. I believe it's not about reminiscing about the past."
After a brief sadness, Qiu Zhan quickly adjusted his emotions, and then replied with a smile and asked faintly.
Upon hearing this, Ou Chuyang sighed, as if he felt sympathy, but this feeling only stayed for a while, and then returned to calm because of Qiu Zhan's question.
Ou Chuyang nodded and replied, "That's right, I'm looking for Aunt Na this time. I really have something to do to ask Aunt Na to help me."
"Little brother, even if I, the Marin Chamber of Commerce, can do it, it will be done by my little brother." Qiu Na had not spoken yet, but Qiu Sheng, who was standing behind Qiu Zhan, responded.
Qiu Na nodded in agreement and said softly: "Hear? Xiaoran, just say anything if you have anything to do."
Ou Chuyang looked at the three of them with gratitude, then raised his head and said seriously: "Actually, I want Aunt Na to collect some things for me."
"What?" Qiuna asked in confusion.
"There are two different things." Ou Chuyang stretched out his two fingers and gestured, and then said: "There are two medicinal herbs, one is called purple-leaf chrysanthemum, and the other is called ramie flower."
"Purple Leaf Chrysanthemum?" When he heard Zi Chu, Qing Chen, who had been sitting firmly on the chair, exclaimed, and he seemed to hear something vaguely. Then, his slightly inquiring eyes turned to Ou Chuyangyao**.
He nodded calmly, without any expression on Ou Chuyang's face, and then asked, "How is it? Have Aunt Na heard of these two things?"
Feeling the expectant look that Ou Chuyang brought over, Qiu Na immediately felt that these two things were probably very important to Ou Chuyang, so the latter lowered his head and recalled it carefully.
After a long time, Qiu Na finally sighed sadly. When Ou Chuyang saw the former look like this, he shook his head disappointedly. He knew that Qiu Na must have never heard of these two things.
"Aunt Na, if you don't know, please pay attention to me. If there is news about these two things, no matter what the cost is, you must collect them, because these two things are very important to me."
Feeling the solemn meaning of Ou Chuyang's words, Qiu Na frowned, then nodded, and said, "I know this purple chrysanthemum, but that spirit-burning pollen?" Qiu Na thought for a while and said again: "Don't worry, I will try my best to collect it for you, but when will you want it?"
"Of course, the faster the better." Ou Chuyang replied with a wry smile. He knew that if the time he had was not completely cured in a short period of time, he would have no room for recovery.
Seeing that Ou Chuyang valued these two things so much, and when he heard Ou Chuyang's tone when he talked to Qiu Na, Qing Chen's eyes immediately burst out with a glimmer of light, and he couldn't help but ask, "Ou Chuyang, are you?"
Looking at Qingchen's surprised expression, Ou Chuyang nodded heavily and said, "Yes, I already know how to cure black blood silk. This method is very simple. You only need to add a pair of medicine. However, this medicine must contain purple chrysanthemum and the pollen of the burning spirit flower."
After being confirmed by Ou Chuyang, Qingchen's shocked expression was even more exaggerated. In fact, it is not because of Qingchen. For twenty years, because of Qiu Zhan's illness, Qingchen has almost searched all medical books and alchemy books, but has not received any effective treatment. But now, this method is to let Ou Chuyang find it, and this will inevitably make Qingchen think of the fourth floor of the Dantang Pavilion.
"What did he get from it?" Qing Chen thought to himself.
When he heard that Ou Chuyang found a way to get rid of the poison, the Qiu family and the other two were stunned, while Qiu Zhan's expression was the most excited.
Ou Chuyang found a way to get rid of the poison, which means that Qiu Zhan's disease also had a glimmer of hope for curing it. Although the strength of the martial master level might not be able to be recovered after many years, if the poison could be cured, at least, he would not have to be taken care of every day like a patient. Moreover, Qiu Zhan knew that if he had not had the family's rich wealth and a large amount of elixir to control his condition in the past twenty years, he would have already turned into a cup of loess and buried underground. Twenty years of elixir support, how many gold coins had been spent on the family, Qiu Zhan certainly knew that it was an astronomical number. This was a complete drag for the family.
If Ou Chuyang hadn't appeared, Qiu Zhan would have continued like this until he died. But now, God has made him know Ou Chuyang, and this young man has also brought him the extravagant hope that he had long lost and dared not remember again.
Looking at Ou Chuyang excitedly, Qiu Zhan's tears quietly slid down the corners of his eyes covered with crow's feet. Qiu Zhan said tremblingly: "Don't worry, little brother, the Marin Chamber of Commerce will do its best to collect these two medicinal materials so that they can be configured as antidotes and completely cure your disease."
Upon hearing this, Ou Chuyang looked at Qiu Zhan gratefully and whispered: "Senior, if this method works, your disease will be completely cured like the younger generation."
For Qiu Zhan, Ou Chuyang's words were like a dawn of hope. At the end of his life, they suddenly appeared, illuminating the former's heart that had already died of death. For this almost promise, the former was even more excited and burst into tears.
However, just when Qiu Zhan felt the light of hope, Qing Chen said, "Ou Chuyang, do you only need these two medicinal materials to relieve the poison of black blood silk?"
Hearing this, Ou Chuyang turned his head to look at Qingchen and said, "Of course not, there must be a medicine in it."
"What medicine?" Qingchen asked hurriedly, and the other two of Qiu looked at Ou Chuyang in surprise with a serious expression.
After glanced at the faces of several people, Ou Chuyang smiled bitterly, and then replied: "To be familiar, the person who tied the bell must be used to untie the bell. The poison of this black blood silkworm must be used as a medicine guide, and combined with purple-leaf chrysanthemum and spirit-burning pollen to make another poison, and use poison to fight the poison, so that it can be completely detoxified."
"Black-blooded silkworm?" Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
In the Dantang living room, the slightly dim candlelight was beating regularly, and under the light of this not-so-bright candlelight, several slightly surprised faces solidified as if petrified.
Everyone has a deep understanding of the toxicity of black blood silk. Since Qiu Zhan has been poisoned for twenty years, these people have investigated the black blood silkworm. However, what shocked everyone was that this black blood silkworm actually had very special characteristics.
