Chapter 124 Invisible Fire

Lu Qing understood what she meant and nodded.

Fu Lu immediately pulled out a bundle of ropes from his waist and walked forward. He wanted to tie up Captain Pang tightly several times, but was stopped by Zhu Yu.

"Don't cover your wrists and chest, otherwise it will be inconvenient to examine." Zhu Yu said to him.

"Don't worry, Chief Secretary, I won't have to!" Fu Lu nodded, stretched out his big hand, and effortlessly turned Captain Pang over, as if he was turning over a light straw bag. Then he tied Captain Pang's arms together from behind at the crook of his arms, and tied his feet as well.

Zhu Yu looked at the tied-up Captain Pang, took a few deep breaths, and moved closer cautiously.

Yan Daoxin followed her closely, and seeing that she was being extremely cautious, he said, "Don't worry, she won't wake up."

Zhu Yu squatted down and placed the back of his hand on Captain Pang's forehead. He found that the temperature of his forehead was obviously slightly higher than that of an ordinary person. Looking closer, he could also see that his cheeks were obviously flushed.

Captain Pang's breathing was very rapid. His chest was not rising and falling violently but at a very fast frequency. Each inhalation and exhalation was shallow and rapid.

Zhu Yu tilted his head and asked Yan Daoxin, who was squatting next to him, "Does this smoke pill cause shortness of breath and a rise in body temperature?"

"No." Yan Daoxin answered very readily.

Zhu Yu frowned and reached out to turn over Captain Pang's eyelids. As expected, his eyes were red and his eyeballs, which should have been white, were covered with bloodshot. At first glance, it looked as if the entire eyeball was stained red with blood.

No... Zhu Yu had a bad premonition. She quickly opened her eyelids and grabbed one of Captain Pang's hands, clasping her fingers around his wrist. Her fingertips immediately felt a strong, fast and intense beating.

"How's his pulse?" Yan Daoxin watched from the side and felt that Zhu Yu was obviously taking Captain Pang's pulse, but her technique was different from what he had learned, and he couldn't figure out what method she was using to take a pulse.

"I don't know." Zhu Yu certainly wouldn't show off his skills in front of Yan Daoxin. He shook his head honestly and made way for Yan Daoxin to take over from him to feel Captain Pang's pulse. "I only know that his heartbeat is really too fast and too violent. Is there any prescription that can relieve it a little?"
Otherwise, if this continues, I'm afraid all the blood vessels in his body will burst. At that time, even if a great immortal descends to earth, he will not be able to be saved. "

Yan Daoxin looked at Zhu Yu in surprise from behind the veil, reached out and clasped Pang Baifu's wrist, raised and lowered a few fingers in an interlaced manner, and soon felt the man's pulse, and his heart became more and more confused.

Lu Qing's bride clearly claimed that she couldn't take a pulse, and judging from her technique, she sounded like she was telling the truth. However, she hit the nail on the head. The centurion's pulse showed signs of hyperactivity of liver yang, like a particularly severe headache. If he was not treated in time, as the bride said, the blood vessels in his skull would probably burst and he would die in a moment.

He didn't even bother to satisfy his curiosity. He quickly stood up and said to Situ Jing, "Hurry up and ask someone to bring paper and pen. I've written a prescription for you. Ask someone to quickly get the medicine and boil it for him to eat. If it's too late, he won't be able to be saved, and you won't be able to ask anything you want to ask..."

Before Yan Daoxin finished speaking, he saw Situ Jing, who was still listening to him, suddenly change his expression. Lu Qing, whose entire face was covered by a golden mask and whose expression could not be seen, had already made a move.

He strode forward, grabbed Zhu Yu with one hand and Yan Daoxin with the other, and quickly pulled the two men back.

Yan Daoxin's martial arts skills were not as good as Lu Qing's. When he was pulled suddenly by him, his body was unstable. He staggered two steps but quickly stabilized himself.

Zhu Yu was a little more miserable. She had just noticed something strange on Captain Pang's hand and was concentrating on checking it out when someone suddenly grabbed her clothes from behind and pulled them open. She lost her balance in an instant. If that person hadn't put his arm around her to help her steady herself, she would have probably fallen out by now.

She looked up, startled, and saw that it was indeed Lu Qing who had pulled her. Looking back, she saw that Captain Pang, who should have been asleep, had opened his eyes at some point. "How... is this possible...?" Yan Daoxin was clearly even more persistent, so shocked that her voice could no longer maintain its previous ethereal aura, and was clearly filled with surprise.

But no matter how surprised or impossible it was, the man's eyes were now wide open, a muffled roar came from his throat, and the muscles in his arms were tensed.

If this isn't waking up, then I don't know what is.

Yan Daoxin didn't even bother to figure out why his always effective smoke pills suddenly lost their effectiveness, and quickly dodged backwards, staying far away.

Talismans and runes also quickly stood in front of Lu Qing and Zhu Yu, holding swords in front of them and staring at the people on the ground warily.

After Captain Pang tried several times to break free from the ropes but failed, his face turned increasingly red and purple, and his eyeballs bulged, almost popping out of their sockets.

He just shouted loudly and stretched out his arms with all his strength. The rope that was more than two fingers thick suddenly broke in full view of everyone.

The surrounding soldiers were horrified and those who surrounded them quickly retreated a distance, fearing that Captain Pang would suddenly jump up and pounce on them again, trying to kill them.

But Captain Pang did not jump up this time. After he broke free from the rope, he still lay on the ground and began to roll back and forth, screaming as he rolled.

The screams were heart-wrenching, sounding as if a living person was tied to a red-hot copper pillar and being tortured with burning people alive.

"Fire...fire...it hurts...it hurts so much..." He screamed and wailed, his whole body rolling and twisting on the ground. The fingers of his hands seemed to be cramping, twisting into positions that no one would normally do. "Fire! Fire! Fire...fire..."

I’m burning to death…I’m burning to death…Help me…Help me…”

Situ Jing didn't know what was going on. There were so many people present and so many eyes watching, but where was the fire burning?

But Captain Pang's pain and wailing did not seem fake, as if he was really being burned by an invisible flame.

"Go get some water!" Situ Jing subconsciously gave the order, not knowing whether it was because Captain Pang's reaction was too much like being on fire.

Someone outside the crowd hurried away to get a bucket of water.

The person who fetched water had not returned yet. Captain Pang, who was still struggling and rolling in pain, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood from his mouth and became silent in an instant.

He didn't roll over or wail, and his face twisted and he didn't move anymore.

　Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, so I’ll take a day off. I wish you all a sweet and happy reunion!
