the enlightener says

Of course, the reason why everyone can relax and do things step by step is naturally because this big ship is stable enough. Even if all the sails have been opened, the scene on both sides of the strait recedes so quickly, but nothing will happen. The problem is, there are even people who can take a break from their busy schedule at this time, and take a small sip of soju to warm up.

Qin Ke leaned on the railing, staring blankly at the high wall that was constantly enlarging in the distance.

Strictly speaking, it is a city behind a high wall.

The number one city in the world, the capital of the former dynasty, and the current power center of the Mohists, Jicheng.

To some extent, he is now a Mohist citizen, but he has never seen this magnificent city with his own eyes.

For the poor and white people of the Mohist family, this great city seems to be just a name, or a place in a dream, so high and far away that it is almost inaccessible.

For example, the uncles and aunts in Daoxiang Village probably can only use their feet to measure the tens of miles from the village to the county town in their whole life, right?They would never even think about places farther away. After all, no matter how good the outside world is, it is not a safe place to live in. Although a few acres of rice fields are poor, at least they can protect them from hunger.

Qin Ke's journey first went to Jianye City in Jingwu, then to Ding'an City in Tang Dynasty, and now he has come to this most powerful city in the world. He has never seen it except the capital of Canghai Kingdom. There are four kingdoms in the world. He has already met three people in the capital of the country, which can be regarded as people who have seen the world.

It's just... I always feel empty in my heart.

Looking slightly sideways, Cai Yan was standing at the bow of the boat and yelling, his rosy face revealed excitement, and he felt that everything described in the book had become a reality at this moment, this towering majestic city There are really low clouds above, and it looks like it is bordering on the sky.

And in the center of Jicheng, a tall palace rises from the ground, towering above the sky and carrying an unspeakable majesty.

The boatmen have already started to put away the sails gradually, and the speed of the big ship has also begun to slow down, but the bustling ship port can already be seen. Under the careful movements of several Qingzhou ghost riders, Gao Changgong was carried out on a stretcher. His body was covered with a quilt, and his face was pale.

When the big ship sailed into the established channel, Gao Changgong could no longer hide his symptoms of coughing up blood, but what shocked everyone was that what he coughed up was not bright red blood like ordinary people, but like molten gold, even Even the visible blood veins on his skin became transparent and dazzling, and the whole person seemed to have some kind of divine radiance.

At this level, is he still a human being?

Gao Changgong tried his best to stand up, glanced at Jicheng in the distance, but smiled as if nothing had happened: "I haven't been here for a long time, but it's still majestic."

Chapter 578 Seeking Doctors, Diagnosis, Acupuncture

There were already people waiting at the gate of the city. They claimed to be servants of the Lu Mansion. After Gao Changgong nodded, everyone no longer doubted them and followed them all the way into the city. Not only were there no obstacles at the checkpoints they passed, even the guards bowed their hands respectfully. This kind of special treatment made the eyes of the merchants who queued for a long time turn red with envy.

When he arrived at the Lu Mansion, Qin Ke was also shocked. Looking at the huge vermilion lacquer gate and the courtyard wall that stretched for an unknown number of miles, he thought that this scale was even bigger than the mansion of the public loser, but the public loser There is a big family living in the house, according to the servants, Mrs. Lu has only ten children and grandchildren. Could it be possible that Mrs. Lu is a relative of the royal family?

Seeing Qin Ke's shocked appearance, the servants of Lu's family puffed up their chests, and said with great pride: "Master is the head teacher of Jishang School's School of Medicine, and he is also among the best in the court, although He doesn't like to participate in government affairs, but the giant still gave him this house to show his respect."

"My dear... because of this, I gave away such a big house." Qin Ke marveled, thinking that he had heard that some officials had this honor in Jingwu, but the houses given away were rarely so grand, after all, in the south , although it is rich, it is not as vast as the north...

Gao Changgong didn't take it seriously: "There are more than [-] houses like this in Jicheng. The imperial city of the former dynasty is naturally not small in scale."

Qin Ke was dumbfounded when he heard this, but Cai Yan beside him pushed the door open with curiosity and walked in.

"Cai Yan..." Qin Ke yelled hastily, but Cai Yan completely ignored it and continued to walk in carelessly.

The servants led the way for everyone with a humble expression, and quickly led the group to the front of the main hall.

A young man in a light-colored toga stood in the hall with a smile on his lips.

This is...Master Lu?

Qin Ke didn't have time to question, but the man smiled and said, "What did I say last time? A person like you who likes to die when you have nothing to do, will come to me again sooner or later..."

Qin Ke was slightly startled, and Gao Changgong, who was lying on the stretcher, had already responded with a smile and scolded: "I said that you are a doctor, so you can't show some virtue? What do you mean come back to you sooner or later? If you are a beautiful girl, that's all. You are just a stinking drug seller, who would come to you? If it weren't for the fact that no one else can do anything, I wouldn't bother to see your old face."

But the face of the person in the hall is obviously not old, and even looks younger than Gao Changgong.

Is this really Master Lu?

Is it the person who can find a way to help Gong Shuren live in the last days of his life?

At that time, Qin Ke was worrying about the Five Elements Sinan and some complicated problems, and he didn't see this Master Lu in the public loser. Now that he sees the person in front of him clearly, he will inevitably have some weird feelings.

After all, Mr. Mo, who is over half a hundred years old, always mentioned his teacher with the most respectful tone, and often bowed in the direction of Jicheng. Those who didn't know thought he was respectful to the Mohist giant. Plus.

And Gongshu Yinxue once solemnly called him "Old Lu"—perhaps the only person who can match the word "Old" is Master Lu's pure white hair like snow.

Joking aside, Master Lu walked up to Gao Changgong and took a few glances, then frowned and his expression became more serious.

He waved his hand and said, "Let's put it on the collapse first, and move gently."

The people carrying the stretcher nodded, and moved Gao Changgong to one of the beds in the hall in a tacit agreement. It was interesting to say that this was the first time Qin Ke saw someone setting up a bed in the middle of the hall, but he thought of this Lu Fuzi is the No.1 doctor, so he can understand it.

It's a pity that Gao Changgong coughed a few times uncontrollably even though the hands and feet of a few people were careless. A lot of golden liquid overflowed from the corner of his mouth and dripped down the bed to the floor, but it was too sticky and thick without any sign of flow.

Master Lu's expression gradually became solemn, he looked around the bed several times with his hands behind his back, and asked Gao Changgong: "I have a general understanding of what you said in your letter, but I didn't expect your problem to be so serious... ...when did your blood start to change?"

"It shouldn't be long." Abu was very worried, and he took the initiative to reply without regard to etiquette: "I didn't see anything wrong with Brother Changgong before, maybe it was blowing on the river?"

"Blowing air?" Lu Fuzi's eyes were full of disbelief.

Gao Changgong, who was lying down, laughed with some difficulty, and said lightly: "Abu, in fact, I was already like this half a month ago."

"Ban Yue?" Master Lu pinched his fingers slightly, "That's really too fast."

After a pause, he pushed Abu away with a look of astonishment, leaned closer to Gao Changgong, and carefully observed the strangely golden eyes, while muttering and repeating: "Too fast, too fast..."

"Undo his clothes."

Qin Ke and Abu moved very quickly, taking off Gao Changgong's shirt in the blink of an eye, but it was cold in early spring, Abu was worried that he would be cold, so he covered him with a quilt again.

Master Lu sighed, and said softly, "There's no need to cover him, he's not cold at all."

"Not cold?" Several people were startled.

Practitioners with profound qi and blood behavior can indeed protect against cold and heat, but that is basically when the qi and blood are running vigorously. In fact, no one will mobilize the whole body's qi and blood all the time, but just to resist the severe cold and heat. , not to mention that Gao Changgong was seriously injured earlier, with multiple meridians and bones damaged, and his blood was exhausted.

Master Lu stared at Gao Changgong, and asked solemnly, "Say it yourself, can you still feel the heat and cold?"

Gao Changgong coughed, still with an indifferent smile on his face: "Ten days ago, I could feel a little bit, but now... I don't feel it at all."

"You have reached the last step." Master Lu sighed.

Then he suddenly raised his hand, stopped Qin Ke and Abu from opening their mouths to ask questions, and said to the steward who was standing not far away, "Bring me my silver needle."

The steward nodded silently, turned and left.

Mr. Lu turned to the manager's back and emphasized: "Remember, I want the trick given to me by the giant."

The steward shook his body slightly, turned his head and glanced at Mrs. Lu in surprise, and then walked a lot faster.

Master hasn't touched that set of needles for years?Are you going to make an exception now?

The steward would not ask too many questions, he knew that since Master Lu gave such an order, it must mean that the condition of the patient in front of him had reached a dangerous and abnormal situation.

After a while, the steward came back from outside the hall, holding a jade box in both hands calmly.

Master Lu took the jade box, immediately took out the whole set of silver needles, and began to needle Gao Changgong's naked chest one by one.

The speed at which he laid the needles didn't seem fast, but Qin Ke and Abu felt dazzled and excited. It seemed that what was pierced one by one was not silver needles, but a row of fierce sword arrays, or a A tall tower rose straight from the ground to the sky, but within a few breaths, more than a dozen silver needles covered Gao Changgong's chest. Seen from above, it looked like a magnolia flower blooming against the wind.

And Qin Ke and Abu, as practitioners, also quickly saw the way. The positions where these needles were inserted were the key positions where Qi and blood converged, without any deviation.

However, can a mere dozen or so silver needles really improve Gao Changgong's condition?

Not long after, a series of changes in the silver needle answered Qin Ke's question.

The silver needles are still those silver needles, but a faint golden color gradually reveals from the bottom to the top, as if they have been dyed with a ray of bright sunshine.

Qin Ke soon discovered that this change did not come from the silver needle itself. On the contrary, the silver needle lost its original silver-white metallic luster and became transparent like glass. The reason why it is now golden is because it absorbed Gao Changgong. The golden blood in the meridians just filled the hollow of each needle.

"This is a kind of crystal found in the sea of ​​vaults. It usually looks like silver, but it has its own mystery." Lu Fuzi saw the worry and panic on Abu's face, and quickly explained softly.

At this time, the golden blood seemed to be drawn by some kind, and began to flow out from the tail of the needle continuously. Unlike before, the blood drawn out by the glazed needle was also shining golden, but it was no longer as thick as mortar.

"You have suffered such a serious injury, why are you still refining your blood?" Master Lu said to Gao Changgong in a deep voice, "You should know how dangerous it is to do so."

Gao Changgong smiled lightly: "Some things have to be tried, not to mention that this is beyond what I can stop."

"Reckless." Master Lu snorted, but his words were full of concern, "If you delay a little longer, I'm not sure I can save you, and then you'll just wait to turn into a lunatic like Wang Xuanwei. Dust... The realm of a saint is so lofty, how can it be possible to enter it? Especially for a practitioner of Qi and blood like you, it is even more difficult to enter that realm. Although I admire you very much for being able to use your Qi and blood It has been refined to such a degree, but you should also understand the truth that haste makes waste..."

"Stop talking nonsense, and get cured if you can." Gao Changgong lazily muttered: "Could it be that you are still afraid that I won't be able to pay the consultation fee?"

"Consultation money? You, who do you think I am? A barefoot doctor in the countryside?" For a moment, Master Lu didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh, so he stopped talking to him and closed his eyes calmly.

His hand moved over the glazed needles, stretched out a finger seemingly plainly, and lightly flicked the end of a certain needle.

Just for a moment.

The glass needle trembled slightly.

Because of the trembling of the needles, all the needles on Gao Changgong's chest trembled!

Like a crumbling coniferous forest under an avalanche...

Chapter 579 Deadly Therapy

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard for Qin Ke to believe that there is such a miraculous medical skill in this world.

More than 100 glazed needles seem to have their own life, jumping and vibrating very regularly, and every time they collide with each other, a lot of golden blood will overflow from the end of the glazed needle, like hot magma, Gao Changgong's bare chest was painted into a dazzling picture of mountains and rivers.

Gao Yishui, who is also a spiritual practitioner, frowned. After thinking for a while, he asked in disbelief: "These needles... are all your natal objects?"

Qin Ke and A Bu looked at Gao Yishui, shocked and speechless for a moment.

Master Lu's movements were still as steady as a mountain, and with a faint smile on his lips, he replied, "That's right. It took me ten years to fuse 180 glazed needles one by one, and now it's a great success."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Gao Yishui clapped his hands in amazement, and said, "Originally, Wang Xuanwei's secret method of controlling millions of Xuanwei with worm queens opened my eyes, but after all, it is not the real sense of controlling many. This natal object just used the habits of the bug itself as a guide. But you... really did it..."

"My needles are thinner and lighter, and after the fusion of mental power, it is easier than flying swords for imperial envoys, and for a doctor like me, I don't have to fight often in front of the battle, so naturally I don't have to take the path that most people have gone through. " Master Lu said gently.

Then he put his right index finger and middle finger together, and made a posture like a sword art. The glass needle penetrated into the width of a finger again, and the golden blood gushed out more and more, almost covering Gao Changgong's upper body.

Probably due to blood loss, Gao Changgong's complexion gradually turned pale, his eyelids opened and closed, as if he would fall asleep at any moment.

It was the first time for Qin Ke to see such a treatment method. Seeing that most of the bed was soaked in golden blood, the corners of his eyes twitched subconsciously, but Master Lu's movements continued, as if he still didn't intend to stop.

Qin Ke nervously said: "Is it really okay to drain so much blood? At this rate, wouldn't his blood be drained soon?"

Mrs. Lu shook his head, his eyes were firm and he said: "The only thing we need is to drain his blood."

Abu looked at him in shock and clenched his fists. If he hadn't known that Master Lu was an old friend of Gao Changgong, he would even have thought it was a murder.

"What's the point? If the blood is drained, don't people die? Is this saving people or killing people?" Abu couldn't hold back and asked.

Mrs. Lu is really a good-tempered person. Even though people kept interrupting, he didn't see him getting angry. He still said in a calm tone: "If you were an ordinary person, you wouldn't be able to survive. After all, qi and blood are the essence of a person. Only by supporting the operation of the lungs and viscera of the whole body, and living by this, without Qi and blood, a person will have no foundation, the organs will weaken, the lungs will not be able to breathe in, and in the end, they will definitely not escape death."

Having said that, he waved his hand, and another thirty needles floated from the glazed needles in his other hand, and landed on Gao Changgong's strong arms and thighs respectively, and golden blood began to flow from the ends.

Master Lu continued to explain: "However, Gao Changgong is different. He is a master in the realm of a master. His physique is far superior to that of ordinary people. His vitality and blood are incomparable even for monsters. Now he is even stepping towards the realm of a master. One step, start to smelt Qi and blood..."

He shook his head and sighed: "But in the past thousands of years, there have only been a few martial sages? Human physique can't bear this kind of extraordinary change, and the more vigorous blood will destroy it bit by bit. He, until finally his blood burst to death."

Gao Changgong closed his eyes but did not fall asleep. He listened to Master Lu with relish, and said with a smile, "This fate sounds really miserable..."

"Talking too much, do you still think it's a joke?" Master Lu glared at him, "Warriors like you are stubborn all day long, and you only know how to do things with enthusiasm. Not satisfied? Why do you have to touch the moat that mortals cannot touch?"

Abu frowned when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "Then if the blood is drained according to your method, Brother Chang Gong will be fine?"

"It's all right? How can it be that simple?" Mrs. Lu snorted, and sighed with the expression of an elder suffering from a headache for the younger generation who caused trouble, "With his current body, even if the blood is drained now, within three days, The body will also regenerate blood on its own, unless he is willing to self-destruct his cultivation, otherwise it would be useless for me to bleed him a dozen times."

"Ah? Self-destructive cultivation?" Abu's eyes widened, "Then how can..."

Practitioners know that the cultivation level of the master realm is rare in the world. Not only does it have ten years of hard work, but also a unique talent. Sometimes even bad luck will affect the improvement and stability of the realm.

Comparing your heart to your heart, if Gao Changgong really wanted to destroy his cultivation, what would it be like killing him?

Gao Changgong, who was on the bed, sneered, and said, "Damn old man, drug seller, don't scare the children here all day long and destroy your cultivation? You can really figure it out... If I want to destroy my cultivation , why take that step?"

"Most of the blood has been drained, and you still have the energy to talk and laugh here. You are so capable, why are you still looking for me?" Master Lu was arguing with him, but his hands were not slow at all, even though he was planning to drain the blood. Letting go of this thing sounds very rough, but what you really want to do is a very delicate job. Where to put it, how to put it, the speed, how to ensure the normal functioning of the body, in detail, I'm afraid it's a lot of work. I can write a book.

There is no room for error in this.

Perhaps it was due to the loss of too much energy and blood in the body, Gao Changgong's breathing sound became as light as a mosquito, and he barely shook his hand hanging on the edge of the bed. He said to Qin Ke and others: "Go out for a walk, I will always let you stay You don’t feel comfortable looking at me, don’t worry about me, now that you’re here, everything will be fine.”

Then he finally fell asleep, blood rippling around him, looking from top to bottom, his whole body was like a finely crafted jade carving, gradually blending into the golden blood, forming a beautiful picture exquisite picture.

Qin Ke and the others were dragged out of the Lu Mansion almost half-pushed, and four tall Qingzhou Ghost Riders escorted them to the gate. ,excuse me."

Although the cowhide armor has been taken off and they are only wearing ordinary clothes, these people will not change their loyalty to Gao Changgong in the slightest. Their eyes are always full of firmness like a mountain.

It is not difficult to imagine that if Gao Changgong really died in Lu's mansion, the Qingzhou ghost riders who followed would not hesitate to kill the whole mansion, and finally wiped their necks and went back with Gao Changgong.

Faced with such a person, Qin Ke certainly couldn't really fight. One of the reasons is that there is nothing wrong with these Qingzhou ghost riders. The second reason is...

It was because even if he was added together with Abu and Gao Yishui, he would definitely not be able to beat so many masters at the level of a small master.

"The first day you came to Jicheng, why do you feel like a group of beggars who were kicked out by the concierge of a rich family?" Gao Yishui couldn't hear the slightest anger, stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "What should we do now? We You can't just wait at this door, right? Coincidentally, I know there is a dim sum shop in Jicheng, and the sweet-scented osmanthus cake is excellent, why don't we try it?"

Qin Ke was actually a little worried in his heart, but he also knew that he could not be of much help by staying here. When he heard Gao Yishui's words, he rolled his eyes and said coldly: "I thought you would say that there is a nice house in this city. The girl inside is big and white..."

"Hey! Don't tell me! I really know one family, or else we..."

"Stop!" Qin Ke found sadly that he had once again underestimated Gao Yishui's thick skin, then shook his head vigorously, and sighed: "Let's eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake, you lead the way, and we just happen to have a look at Ji, the number one in the world." What does the city look like?"
