Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 193: Touch the bottom of the saint

"Jiehui disease is not a disease, but a form of elemental energy. People absorb the decaying elemental energy in the air, which causes the Jiehui disease to occur."

In the medicine shop, Su Yun told the awakened Chi Xiaoyao about his discovery, saying, "Wu Tong is a human demon. She should be able to absorb the Jiehui and suppress this epidemic."

Chi Xiaoyao washed her face to refresh herself and glanced at the old Taoist in the medicine jar who seemed to be asleep. She said, "Wu Tong was frightened and ran away that night. We don't know where she is. Relying on human demons to solve the disaster after the war is not a long-term solution. We need to find a way to break the Jiehui for a permanent solution."

Su Yun nodded in agreement. Their cooperation with Wu Tong, a human demon, was mainly to deal with the leader, Xue Ge. However, they did not expect that it was not Xue Ge who released Wu Tong, but the seven major families led by Tong Qingyun, who attempted to cause chaos in the world.

Now that the seven major families have been wiped out and the disaster in the north has ended, the premise of cooperating with Wu Tong no longer exists.

Su Yun is not sure if Wu Tong and Jiao Shu'Ao are still in the north. Moreover, the released dragon spirit is also a headache.

"In any case, let's find Wu Tong first and solve the epidemic in the north."

Su Yun said, "Sister Xiaoyao, let someone inform Lao Piaozi. He has a wide network of contacts and should be able to find Wu Tong easily."

Chi Xiaoyao left the medicine shop and called a scholar from the medical school of the academy. She asked him to go to the Wenchang Academy to deliver a letter. During this period of severe epidemic, the scholars of the medical school had to personally diagnose and treat patients.

When Chi Xiaoyao returned to the secret room, she saw Su Yun with a vertical eye on his forehead, examining the old Taoist's injuries.

"How is his injury?" Chi Xiaoyao asked as she approached.

"He's not asleep, he's unconscious."

Su Yun frowned and whispered, "I can't understand his injuries... Sister Xiaoyao, this Taoist doesn't seem human. Come to my spiritual realm and I'll use it to depict what I saw earlier. You can see how to treat him."

He thought for a moment and then released his spiritual realm. Chi Xiaoyao walked in his spiritual realm and saw that it was gradually changing, depicting what Su Yun had seen with his heavenly eyes.

There was a cage in the old Taoist's head, suppressing a god with a dragon head and a leg, holding a sealed decree in its mouth.

There was a Five Elements Mountain in the Taoist's abdomen, suppressing a god like a spiritual monkey, holding a sealed decree in its mouth.

There was a bridge in the Taoist's kidney, leading directly to the brain. There was a palace in the brain with the words "Mud Pill Palace" written on the plaque. There was also a god locked up in the palace.

"It seems to be the Three Corpse Gods mentioned in Taoism." Chi Xiaoyao whispered, "If this old Taoist cuts off the Three Corpse Gods, he will become a god."

The Taoist's body had more anomalies than this. There were many gods of different sizes living in his body, up to a hundred, and there were even nine old immortals living in his brain alone!

In addition, there was the paradise that Su Yun had seen before, which was a world inside a body and was unbelievable and indescribable.

Most of the gods in the Taoist's body were injured, with no energy and no spirit. Some had even fallen and could only breathe out, not in.

Only the suppressed gods were still lively and waiting for the opportunity to break out of their seals.

Chi Xiaoyao had never seen or heard of such a scene before!"How about we try to save the immortal in his hundred orifices, since we can't treat the old Daoist?"

Chi Xiaoyao probed, "If we revive these immortals, perhaps the old Daoist can survive."

Su Yun agreed and continued to carefully examine the immortals' injuries in the old Daoist's hundred orifices with his Heavenly Eyes, depicting them in the spirit realm for Chi Xiaoyao to diagnose and prescribe medicine.

By the afternoon, Chi Xiaoyao had treated the immortals, and the immortals' colors had improved significantly. The old Daoist woke up from his coma.

Chi Xiaoyao planned to feed him, but the old Daoist shook his head, "I have been fasting since I was twenty years old, absorbing the cosmic energy from heaven and earth, and no longer need to eat."

Chi Xiaoyao had to give up.

Under the care of Chi Xiaoyao and Su Yun, the old Daoist gradually recovered. One day, Su Yun checked his injuries and saw a human-headed snake-bodied immortal in the old Daoist's body refining a five-colored stone, repairing the sky and completing the world that was broken by the Peach Blossom Land.

"Your injuries are basically no longer a problem."

Chi Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Daoist, your immortal injuries did not stump us."

The old Daoist was still weak and laughed, "It's because of Dashizhi's miraculous healing and the immortals' medical skills."

Chi Xiaoyao was very pleased.

Idle Cloud Taoist visited the old Daoist several times and saw that his condition had improved significantly. He asked how much the medicine cost, and Chi Xiaoyao reported the price. Idle Cloud Taoist hesitated for a while and said, "I don't have money right now. I'll come back to settle the bill when my servant's salary is paid next month. Su Shizi, the imperial edict has arrived at the Wenchang Academy, and you are to be appointed as an official."

Su Yun got up and went to the Wenchang Academy. He saw that the messenger from the capital had brought various carriages filled with money and edicts, indicating that many people were to be rewarded. As expected, Emperor Ping praised Su Yun, the master of the Tongtian Pavilion, for his contribution to the recent rebellion in the north and rewarded him with titles and money.

Qiu Shuijing should have arrived in the capital by now. I wonder what he said to Emperor Ping. In the imperial edict, Emperor Ping appointed Su Yun to be an official, finally fulfilling Su Yun's wish to be a special envoy. However, the edict also ordered him to go to the capital to pay his respects, indicating that he would not be inspecting the north.

Su Yun accepted the edict, received the rewards, and returned to the herb shop. He saw a chubby physician diagnosing a patient with gray calamity disease, and Chi Xiaoyao was helping him. It was Dong Yisheng.

"Has the saint's injury healed?" Su Yun glanced at the old Daoist sweeping the floor with a broom and asked.

Dong Yisheng had put on his own clothes and had become a round and fat man again. He said, "The saint's injury is extremely difficult to treat. It is the most severe injury I have ever encountered in my life. I have removed the root of the problem, but he still needs to rest and recover for some time to fully recover."

The old Daoist stopped sweeping and leaned on the broom, smiling, "What do you think of my injury, Dong Yisheng?"

Dong Yisheng glanced at the old Daoist and said, "Your injury is not as severe, but fortunately, Xiaoyao and the Pavilion Master treated it. Even if I came back, I would be powerless."

He looked through the account book and said, "You owe me for the medical expenses at the herb shop. You can work here for a few days until Senior Brother Xianyun earns enough money to redeem you."

The old Daoist snorted and continued to sweep the floor.

Dong Yisheng slapped a prescription on the table and said, "Sir, collect the herbs."

The old Daoist quickly abandoned the broom and went to the medicine cabinet to collect the herbs according to the prescription.

"This Taoist is quite skilled!" The patients who came to see the doctor praised him one after another.Doctor Dong put down his pen and said to Su Yun, "There's one more thing. The Sage is leaving Shuofang. The Emperor ordered him to return to the Eastern Capital, praising him for his great achievements. When I came here, the Sage asked me to ask you if you want to go to the Eastern Capital with him. He plans to set off tomorrow."

Su Yun's heart trembled slightly.

The next day, early in the morning.

Su Yun arrived at the Sage's town early and asked to see him outside his residence. However, Xue Qingfu had already packed his bags, prepared a cart, and was ready to leave.

Bai Yuelou was busy serving him, and when she saw Su Yun coming, she hurriedly waved her hand.

Xue Qingfu saw this and quickly smiled and said, "Is the Master planning to travel with me to the Eastern Capital?"

Su Yun shook his head and said, "I haven't decided whether to go to the Eastern Capital yet. I came here just to see the Sage off."

Xue Qingfu waved his hand, letting his family and caravan go ahead, and walked outside the Sage's town with Su Yun.

Bai Yuelou followed from a distance, her forehead covered in cold sweat, not knowing what to do.

"The Sage is extraordinary, rising from the countryside. He entered the city for the first time and was able to compete with the Sage, Shui Jing, and Left Protector. He gained a lot from it."

The two came to a bridge, and Su Yun stopped and looked at the peaceful town that was like a water town. It was like looking at a landscape painting with only black and white colors without any other colors to distract the eye.

Su Yun said calmly, "Although the turmoil in Shuofang City has ended, the rebellion of the Seven Great Families has been quelled, and Shuobei has returned to peace, I still have some doubts in my heart."

Xue Qingfu nodded and stopped as well, smiling, "What doubts do you have, Master? You might as well say it. Maybe I can help you answer it."

Su Yun looked at the water's surface, his eyes deep, and said, "I am a country bumpkin, and I may have offended you. There were many cases in Shuofang, more than ten in total, but all the cases originated from the Fallen Dragon Case 150 years ago. 150 years ago, the Tian Shi Yuan fell dragon, and the dragon fought against the demons, falling into the Fallen Dragon Valley and buried in the Burial Dragon Tomb."

Xue Qingfu said, "At that time, there was a heavy snowfall, forming a once-in-a-century snow disaster. Emperor Wu ordered Tian Dao Yuan's scholar Zi Ge Long and the Seven Great Families, who all rose to power during this snow disaster. After that, the Seven Great Families rose to power, and their grudges with old families like Li and Ye deepened. Shuobei's Green Forest also rose. That snow disaster formed the current situation in Shuofang."

Su Yun nodded.

This was the information he had received.

"Tian Dao Yuan's leader, Xuegong, Han Jun, and Ying, got the book 'Sixteen Chapters of the True Dragon' from Ge Wu Zhi, but they encountered demons and died in the Burial Dragon Tomb."

Su Yun continued, "Tian Dao Yuan's leader, Xuegong, went through a lot of hardships to get out of the Burial Dragon Tomb and Tian Shi Yuan, and came to Shuofang City, but was secretly attacked by the Seven Great Families' ancestors. What happened during this time? Did Xuegong die at the hands of these seven ancestors, or did he fake his death and escape? I still can't figure it out."

Xue Qingfu looked at him with a smile on his face.

Su Yun continued, "Just now, the Sage said that the snow disaster 150 years ago formed the current situation in Shuofang, but the Sage left out one force, that is, the Sage's town, the Sage's residence. The Sage's family should have risen to power at that time, right?"

Xue Qingfu's smile grew even bigger, but he didn't say anything.

Su Yun searched his sleeve for a moment, took out a book, and placed it on the railing of the stone bridge, saying, "When I entered the Burial Dragon Tomb, I happened to encounter a demon attached to Jiao Shu'Ao, who was eating with the whole village. The demon Wu Tong was pointing him to destroy the Spirit Prison and the Heaven's Cage. After they left, I got this book."Xue Qingfu looked at the book with a smile and said, "The sect leader has found the secret of 150 years ago and learned about a past event, which led to the investigation of the Shuofang City in the future."

Su Yun nodded and sighed, "I learned about that history from the book, which was shocking. After arriving in Shuofang, I found myself uncovering a series of consequences caused by that history step by step. Finally, I overturned the chess game, and the seven major families rebelled ahead of time and were wiped out."

Xue Qingfu laughed and said, "I have taken advantage of the sect leader's achievements and claimed them as my own."

"Maybe not?"

Su Yun placed his palm on the ancient book and shook his head, "I have always relied on this book to understand the history of 150 years ago and believed in its records. But..."

His gaze darkened, "What if this book is fake?"

Xue Qingfu was stunned.

"What if someone deliberately placed this book in the Zonglong Tomb, waiting for someone else to discover it? Perhaps Han Jun never wrote this book."

Su Yun turned around and faced Xue Qingfu, his face calm, "Sage, what if this person deliberately misled the seven major families to rebel and let Tong Qingyun know that there is a demon spirit in the Zonglong Tomb? Tong Qingyun designed for Jiao Shu'Ao to release the demon spirit, and this person also entered the Zonglong Tomb and left this book? Sage, what do you think?"

Xue Qingfu looked straight at him and suddenly burst into laughter.
