Both worlds are like dreams

Xue Huang brought Gu Qinglan to the outskirts of the city. The number of patients here had obviously doubled since the last time she came, but after walking around, she found that everyone's symptoms were not particularly serious.

.

Gu Qinglan followed her around and couldn't help but frowned and said, "I didn't expect that so many people in Muhua City have been infected."

"Plague has been a terrible disease since ancient times. Every time it breaks out, it takes away countless innocent lives." Xue Huang sighed. "It's no different from a battlefield."

These words made Gu Qinglan silent. The battlefield was undoubtedly a very scary place. When he was young, he had seen with his own eyes the battlefield full of dead bodies and rivers of blood. He still could not forget it.

Although there was no smoke or blood on the battlefield before him, it still made him feel heartbroken.

Who doesn't want to live in a quiet and peaceful environment? However, this kind of comfort is a luxury!

Xue Huang saw that he looked strange, and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Gu Qinglan shook his head, "It's okay."

Xue Huang looked at him worriedly, "If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you must tell me."

Gu Qinglan nodded slightly: "Let's go see the sick soldiers first?"

"it is good."

Xue Huang brought him to the newly designated campsite. Before they even entered, they heard coughing sounds one after another, as if the lungs were about to be coughed out.

When Lu Wenxuan learned that she and Gu Qinglan had arrived, he hurried over to greet them, "Meet the princess, meet Master Gu."

"General, you're welcome. How is everyone doing?" Xue Huang asked.

Lu Wenxuan frowned slightly, "The situation is not optimistic. Once the infected person has a fever, the lungs will rot very quickly, and there is no way to save them. Moreover, many people died last night, and the people's emotions are a little unstable."

"It will take a very long time to completely cure this disease. They watch people around them fall ill and die day after day, so they will inevitably lose confidence." Xue Huang sighed.

"Let's go meet Doctor Wen and the others." Gu Qinglan said, "If we want to calm the people, we must let them see hope."

Xue Huang nodded, "Let's go."

The three of them came to the camp where Doctor Wen and his team were, and they were all gathered together to study a new prescription. Dongfang Cong and Lin Yu came early in the morning, and it seemed that they had a good discussion with everyone.

Xue Huang signaled everyone not to be polite, sat down and asked, "Any progress?"

Dongfang Cong said, "I have discussed with everyone and found that we can add blood spirit grass and nine-leaf white vine to the existing prescription as medicine to improve the efficacy." He paused, "Does the city have any stock?"

All the doctors run clinics and drug stores and are very familiar with their own inventory. Although Blood Spirit Grass and Nine-Leaf White Vine are relatively precious herbs, they are not unavailable.

They nodded one after another, indicating their willingness to contribute.

Lu Wenxuan immediately sent people back to the city to collect these two medicinal herbs from various pharmacies.

Xue Huang looked at Lin Yu, "Then is the acupuncture technique that Mr. Lin mentioned also feasible?"

"It's possible." Lin Yu nodded. "I've just felt the pulses of those people, and they can still be saved."

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces were immediately filled with excitement. If they could suppress the decay of the patient's lungs, perhaps they could save countless lives with the improved prescription.

"There are too many people infected. I can teach you how to perform acupuncture. But I also need a medicine to induce the disease. After suppressing the decay, it can reverse the decay."

"What kind of medicine is it?" Xue Huang asked.

"Earth Fire Lotus and Seven-Colored Jade-Scaled Snake."

Doctor Wen had obviously heard of this herb, and his face was filled with surprise. “They are all highly poisonous.”

"That's right." Lin Yu said. "Both of these medicines are extremely poisonous. Where there are seven-colored green-scaled snakes, fire lotus will definitely grow. So the two are natural enemies, but they are also interdependent. The prescription that combines snake venom and fire lotus has the effect of reviving the dead."

The prescription proposed by Lin Yu was obviously a method of fighting poison with poison. Although it was recorded in medical books, this method of practicing medicine was too overbearing and ordinary doctors would not try it easily.

Seeing everyone's hesitation, Xue Huang asked, "Are there any other dangers in taking this medicine?"

"Of course there is," Lin Yu said, "After all, it is made from poison, and the person who takes it will suffer extremely."

Dongfang Cong thought for a moment and said, "This prescription is indeed feasible, but the pain is definitely not something that ordinary people can endure. I wonder if they can accept it."

"Is there no other way?" Doctor Wen asked with a frown.

"These people have already stepped into the gates of hell. If we don't take extraordinary measures, they can only wait for death." Dongfang Cong said. This is consistent with his usual style of saving people. He obviously supports Lin Yu's method.

Everyone was silent, only Lu Wenxuan spoke, "If this is the only way to keep them alive, then let's try it."

Lin Yu said expressionlessly: "General Lu, I hope you will consider this carefully. This kind of pain is definitely not something that ordinary people can endure."

"Then let's put the hope of survival in everyone's hands," Xue Huang said, "It's up to them to choose whether to linger or to risk their lives. All we have to do is find a way for them to survive." Xue Huang knew that what Lin Yu said about the pain that ordinary people could not bear was definitely not nonsense. This kind of pain would definitely make life worse than death. So at this point, it was better than waiting to die, there was nothing to worry about.

"Okay." Lin Yu said. "These two poisonous plants grow in the valley deep in Qingsong Mountain, fifty miles southwest of Muhua City. I will go and collect them. I'll leave the rest to you for now."

Lu Wenxuan frowned and said, "The valley deep in Qingsong Mountain is filled with poisonous miasma and poisonous creatures. No one has ever come out of there alive. It's too dangerous for you to go there, sir."

Lin Yu did not speak. He knew better than anyone what was in the valley of Qingsong Mountain, otherwise he would not have proposed this prescription. And since he proposed it, he had already decided to go.

He is a poison doctor, immune to all poisons, and the more powerful the poison, the more worth the risk for him.

"I have made up my mind." Lin Yu said seriously.

"Then I will send a pair of men to escort the gentleman inside."

"Your people are just a burden to me and can't play any role." Lin Yu refused directly.

"Then I'll go with you." Xue Huang said.

Everyone was shocked and looked at Xue Huang.

Lu Wenxuan hurriedly dissuaded, “Princess, please think twice.”

"Don't worry, our Guigu Sect has its own breath-holding method to resist poison." Xue Huang said. "Let me escort Mr. Lin on this trip."

Lin Yu frowned slightly, "No."

Xue Huang raised an eyebrow, "You are only good at using poison, but your martial arts skills are very weak. Even if you are not afraid of poison, how can you deal with other dangers?"

Lin Yu still didn't dare to agree to her rashly. After all, his master and the leader of the Shanhe Sect attached great importance to her. If she encountered any danger, those two would definitely kill her.

Xue Huang saw through his thoughts and said directly: "I will explain to my second uncle myself, don't worry."

Lin Yu thought about it and realized that he couldn't stop Xue Huang. The master and Wei Yunzhou had to decide. He agreed to it for now. Someone would stop her when he got back. So he said, "I will teach you the acupuncture method first. After the treatment, we will go back to the general's mansion and get ready to go."

Xue Huang stood up and said to Dongfang Cong and the others, "Then I'll leave the new prescription to you guys to prepare. I'll go to Qingsong Mountain with Mr. Lin to look for medicine."
