Chapter 938 - Can be solved?
Master Guan blurted out: “Licorice.”
So it was licorice. This medicine was indeed commonly found in prescriptions. It can be found in eight out of ten prescriptions. No wonder Master Guan was so anxious.
If that thing was as powerful as Master Guan said, she’s afraid that the entire capital will become a city of zombies when that small whistle sounded.
Without further ado, she got up immediately and let Master Guan stay and have a good rest. He can leave everything up to her.
Although Master Guan was not at ease, in the current situation, even if he was strong and vigorous, and not injured, he may not be able to respond well.
After listening to these things, he saw Bai Zhi’s complexion remained calm. She was not surprised. He couldn’t help but admire her.
After Bai Zhi left the small courtyard, she went straight to Dongfang Mu. Hearing this, Dongfang Mu was shocked.
“How can this be?”
Bai Zhi said: “I think this is the reason why those people want to kill Master Guan.”
She paused and then said: “I guess Master Guan not only knows their secrets but must also have something in his hand. These people have to keep Master Guan’s life first because of this. But looking at Master Guan’s expression, I think he doesn’t know it himself.”
Dongfang Mu asked Bai Zhi: “You have good medical skills, do you have a way to solve it?”
Bai Zhi simply shook her head: “I’ve never been into contact with such things, and I don’t know how to kill or expel them.” There was a case record in the Theory of Strange Pulse, but there was no solution mention in it. The note just repeatedly emphasized that these things were evil. They like to eat human blood and brains. They can live for as long as one year after entering the human body.
In other words, as long as these things do not come out, they can control this person for one year. Once they come out, they will die when they see the light, so they will never come out by themselves.
Dongfang Mu said: “I have heard of such evil things before. It is said that there is a big mountain in Western Hunan, where there are some people who live there and raise Gu. They treasure each Gu that is raised by them. It takes several years to raise these Gus, which means it also takes years to feed it with human blood. I don’t know how did they raise a big quantity of it like what you said.”
Dongfang Mu added: “In this world, there are people who raise and destroy Gus. Some people specialize in raising and destroying it. I have seen such a person like this before, but I didn’t care much about it at that time. It won’t be easy to look for him now.”
Bai Zhi nodded: “Let’s not mention this. The most important thing at the moment is to destroy Gus in the Luan Hall first. We can’t let this thing continue to fell in the hands of the people in the capital.”
Dongfang Mu immediately got up: “I’ll let someone go and close the shop.”
Bai Zhi waved her hand: “No, those people are eager to silence people because they are afraid that we will know about this matter. If we close the shop now, they will know that the matter has been exposed. Maybe they will blow the whistle in a hurry. We haven’t found a solution to deal with it, by then, the capital will be over.”
Dongfang Mu also found it reasonable, so he nodded his head immediately: “Yes, yes, you are right. I am really too anxious, so I will arrange and order people to buy licorice in large quantities, and then focus on their supply channels. If there are problems from the source, we will change the supply quietly.”
Bai Zhi nodded her head: “This is the best way. I will try my best to find a way to get rid of Gu. I hope I can help.”
Dongfang Mu gritted his teeth and said: “You still better not get involved in this matter. Tomorrow, you will leave with your mother and go back to Qiyun Mountain. I will stay here and help Yan’er.”
