Volume 1: The Beauty of Misfortune Chapter 159: Soul Devouring Gu
"Your Majesty, let me take a look at your pulse first."
Cang Wanhe's face gave Yun Che a rather terrifying premonition, but he did not dare to make a decision. He took a few steps forward and came to Cang Wanhe. He touched his pulse with two fingers of his right hand, and then closed his eyes.
Lan Xueruo immediately held her breath, and Cang Wanhe said nothing more. His somewhat cloudy eyes silently looked at the man chosen by his daughter. But I didn't expect him to be of any help to her condition. He might have excellent medical skills, but he was too young after all. Medical skills are not learned, but require years of accumulation and precipitation.
Yun Che's pulse test didn't last long. After more than ten breaths, he whispered: "Your Majesty, next I will use my profound power to roam your internal organs. Please don't resist."
"Okay, just do whatever you want. I said that you are the one brought by Yue'er, and I can definitely trust you." Cang Wanhe nodded.
At that moment, Yun Che released a small amount of his profound energy and traveled towards the vast internal organs. It didn't last long either, before he withdrew his profound energy, then opened his eyes with a complicated look on his face.
"How is it?" Lan Xueruo asked quickly. Although Yun Che's visit lasted less than a minute in total, in anyone's opinion, even Gu Qiuhong was helpless about this "disease". What could a seventeen-year-old boy see in such a short visit? . But a girl who has her own heart will always have a kind of blind trust in her man. Lan Xueruogui, as Princess Cang Yue, can't get rid of this girl's mentality.
Yun Che was silent for a while and asked: "Your Majesty, do you have a scar that is not too long on your chest? If so, was it left about three years ago?"
Cang Wanhe thought for a moment, then nodded, with surprise in his eyes: "Yes, I do have a scar on my chest. It's about an inch long, and it was indeed left three years ago... How did you know that I have a scar on my body?" This scar?"
Seeing Cang Wanhe nodding, Yun Che's face suddenly turned a little ugly.
Yun Che's expression made Lan Xueruo suddenly feel uneasy, and he asked nervously: "Junior brother Yun, how is my father's condition? Did you see something?"
"Huh..." Yun Che took a long breath and said with a heavy face: "The emperor is indeed not sick, nor is he poisoned, but it is not at all the lifeline that Gu Qiuhong said was damaged... but Yes, he was bewitched!"
"Huh? Gu?" Lan Xueruo's lips opened wide, her face full of surprise.
"Oh? Why do you make this judgment?" Cang Wanhe was indifferent. Obviously, he did not believe Yun Che's words. This was not because he did not trust Yun Che, but because he trusted Gu Qiuhong more. Over the past three years, his body has remained stable under Gu Qiuhong's treatment. Moreover, one is the most famous doctor in Cangfeng, and the other is a seventeen-year-old boy. No one can choose to believe the words of a young man and question the most famous doctor who has a century-old name.
Yun Che frowned and said: "This kind of Gu is called 'Soul-Eating Same Life Gu'. It is implanted into the human body in the form of Gu seeds and grows on the blood of the person. After it grows up, it lives near the heart of the person and uses the person's vitality as its source. Health. This kind of Gu is very small, but the vitality required for growth is extremely large. Almost half of the host's vitality will be swallowed up by it. The reason why the emperor has been extremely weak and aged rapidly in recent years is because of your vitality. A full half of them were swallowed by the 'Soul-Eating Same Fate Gu'."
Cang Wanhe's expression was still very calm. He showed a hint of doubt and said: "If it is true as you said, such a powerful poison was planted in my body, and Gu Qiuhong's medical skills are unparalleled in ancient and modern times, it is impossible that he could not have discovered it. If It’s fair to say that it can’t be discovered in one diagnosis. In the past three years, Gu Qiuhong has diagnosed and treated me dozens of times, and it is definitely not possible that he cannot find it every time. Yun Che, could it be that I made a mistake somewhere?”
"No!" Yun Che shook his head without hesitation: "Absolutely not. I know that the emperor will not believe it, so please give me a chance to prove it...allow me to cut open the scar on your chest, and I will let you That Gu appeared in front of the Emperor."
Cang Wanhe suddenly frowned. His emperor's body was so noble, how could he be cut open like this by a young boy? Before he could speak, Lan Xueruo had already spoken: "Father, I believe in Junior Brother Yun's words, and even more in his character. It is absolutely impossible for him to do anything to harm my father. My father's condition has not improved. Even Master Gu can't help it. Even if Junior Brother Yun can't bring about a change, at least there will be no harm."
Cutting wounds on the Emperor's body was certainly no small matter. But Lan Xueruo still persuaded Cang Wanhe without hesitation. On the one hand, he hoped for a turning point, and on the other hand, he had a deep trust in Yun Che. As soon as she opened her mouth, Cang Wanhe swallowed the 0987 words he wanted to say and nodded slowly: "Okay...if this wound is in vain later, you don't have to be nervous and blame yourself."
Yun Che nodded and stopped talking. He pulled open the clothes on Cang Wanhe's chest. As expected, there was a scar about an inch long on his heart. Over time, this scar had become very shallow, but Enough to see clearly.
Yun Che stretched out his fingers, and profound energy surged into his fingertips. Just when he was about to draw towards Cang Wanhe's heart, his movements paused slightly, because at that moment, he felt that a mysterious energy aura had been firmly locked on him. Own. This mysterious force aura is well hidden, and it would be difficult for ordinary people to detect it, but Yun Che's perception is so sharp, and he can feel that this mysterious force aura has extremely terrifying foundation, and its strength is at least in the Tianxuan realm!
After a moment of surprise, Yun Che immediately calmed down. How could the emperor not be protected by a top expert? But he didn't want to harm the emperor, so there was nothing to be afraid of. At that moment, his fingers lightly scratched Cang Wanhe's chest, directly cutting open the one-inch scar, and drops of blood quickly flowed out. And Yun Che's other hand quickly pressed on the upper part of the wound, and the phoenix flame power poured in carefully, and he instantly found the hiding place of the "Soul-Eating Same Life Gu".
Gu is naturally afraid of fire, and the flames of the phoenix are the emperor of flames. The frightened "Soul Devouring Same Fate Gu" immediately fled in the opposite direction to where the Phoenix Flame was, and was guided bit by bit to the location of the wound by Yun Che.
"Coming out." Yun Che opened his eyes and whispered.
As he finished speaking, the wound on Cang Wanhe's heart suddenly began to squirm abnormally, and then, a half-inch long, slender, golden-colored Gu worm protruded half of its body from the wound and struggled violently.
"ah!!!"
Lan Xueruo screamed in fright, and her face turned pale. Even Cang Wanhe, the emperor, was shocked and his whole body froze...
"Don't move!!" Yun Che shouted, stopping all possible movements of Lan Xueruo, Cang Wanhe, and the man in the dark. He quickly raised his left hand and used the flames of the phoenix to quickly kill the golden Gu insect. The force returned to Cang Wanhe's blood, and then the mysterious force was released to seal Cang Wanhe's wound and stop the blood from flowing out.
"I...I actually have such a thing in my body!" Cang Wanhe seemed to have calmed down, but the stiffness in his body showed that he was still in shock.
"Junior Brother Yun... why didn't you get out that... that Gu just now, instead of letting it return to your father's body? Obviously... you have obviously led it out." Lan Xueruo's little face turned pale, and the girl said this This kind of insect has a natural fear, not to mention that it still exists in Cang Wanhe's body.
Yun Che shook his head and said: "It's not that I don't want to get it out, but I simply can't. If this is another kind of Gu, no matter how terrifying it is, as long as you find out where it is, you can find a way to lure it out or kill it directly. . But this kind of Gu...the reason why it is called 'Soul-Eating Same-Life Gu' is because it not only swallows a large amount of the host's vitality, but also uses the host's lifeblood as its own after being born from the form of a Gu. The lifeline and the host share the same life. In other words, the soul-eating Gu in the emperor's body shares the same life as the emperor! If the emperor dies, it will die, and if it dies, the emperor will die too. !”
"Ah!!" Lan Xueruo's beautiful eyes widened and trembled.
"Wha...what? There is such a sinister thing in this world!" Cang Wanhe also looked panicked.
Yun Che continued: "And it needs to suck the emperor's vitality to survive. Once it leaves the emperor's body, it will die immediately. Moreover, it will only have one host in its life. Even if it moves into another host immediately after leaving the body, it will not survive." It doesn't help. Therefore, instead of being able to take out the soul-devouring life-devouring Gu, the emperor must be kept well and helplessly allowed to devour the body's vitality all the time, and must not be allowed to die."
Yun Che paused for a moment and said in a heavy voice: "Senior Sister Xueruo, Your Majesty, what you say next will be a little cruel... The life span of Gu insects is not very long. According to what I know, the life span of the Soul-Eating Same-Life Gu For five years. And it has been in the emperor's body for more than three years. In two years, this soul-devouring life-sucking Gu will die. In other words... the emperor's lifespan will only be two years at most. Year."
"How could it be like this...how could it be like this..." Lan Xueruo covered her lips and was already sobbing.
Cang Wanhe gasped for air. The poison hidden in his body and Yun Che's words undoubtedly made him completely confused and even panicked. He said in a low voice: "Who on earth... who actually gave me this vicious poison! I must find him... and cut him into pieces!!"
Yun Che looked at Cang Wanhe and said: "If your Majesty wants to know who caused the poison, you can actually know it right away."
Cang Wanhe's body trembled, and he immediately said: "Yun Che, do you know the person who planted the poison?"
"I don't know, but the Emperor must know." Yun Che said calmly: "This kind of 'Soul-eating Gu' can only be planted into the human body in the form of Gu seeds, and it must be immersed in the host's hard work to grow. A person's hard work exists in his heart. Therefore, to plant this poison in a person's body, he must make a wound in his heart and put the poison seeds directly through the wound. Gu seeds that enter the body through diet or drinking water will not grow at all, and the same is true for those that are planted in other parts of the body through the blood. The emperor only needs to think of who made that scar on your heart three years ago to know that it was. Who cast the poison?"
As soon as Yun Che said these words, Cang Wanhe and Lan Xueruo all stayed there.
"No...impossible! It can't be the poison caused by Master Gu. Master Gu has been treating my father carefully these years, and has always had a good relationship with my royal family...It can't be him! There is no reason for him to harm me. My father." Lan Xueruo's face was full of shock... She knew that the person who made the wound on her father's heart three years ago was the medical sage Gu Qiuhong. That time, Cang Wanhe was infected with severe wind and cold. Gu Qiuhong claimed that the wind and cold were too severe and he needed to release some cold blood from his heart...
But she has had deep respect, admiration and gratitude for this medical saint since she was a child, and for a while she couldn't connect him with a vicious poisoner.
