Chapter 1162 Ancient Books!
"Hmm? Have you seen him?" Jiang Yueying couldn't help but feel curious, "Where did you see him?"
Originally, Zhang Ruoling wanted to say that he had used it before. In his previous life, an expert went astray when he was trying to break through the bottleneck of his cultivation. If he had not intervened in time and used this formation to rescue him, the expert in the Thousand Faces World would not have had that person's name.
"I saw it in an ancient book, which recorded it in slightly more detail than this, so I remember a little bit." Zhang Ruoling lied casually.
Seeing that he didn't want to explain anything, Jiang Yueying naturally didn't ask any more questions. After all, he never asked any more questions about his strange illness.
"You are really well-informed, boy," Old Master Wang knew very well that there was some truth in his words, but he was not interested in them. What made him more curious was Zhang Ruoyling.
"By the way, you came all the way here to see me today, is there something wrong?" Old Master Wang just remembered and asked.
"It's like this," Zhang Ruoling knew that he was going to get the book about poisonous insects, so there was nothing to hide about Zhao Cheng. Moreover, the target was Old Man Wang, so there was nothing to hide.
"I met a patient who was poisoned by a strange kind of Gu poison, so I came to see if you have any books related to Gu insects, and want to see if there is a solution."
"Poison?!" Hearing these two words, the faces of Mr. Wang and Jiang Yueying changed instantly. The old man even glanced at Jiang Yueying subconsciously, but soon recovered as before and just looked at Zhang Ruoling and said, "I wonder which patient it is?"
"Chairman of Zhao's Jade Group, Zhao Cheng."
"Is it him?" Old Master Wang paused, his expression quite serious. "Have you checked his pulse? Are you sure it's poison?"
"Well, I have already lured out the Gu worm." Zhang Ruoling looked very calm. "You directly lured out the Gu worm?!" Old Master Wang looked at him in surprise, and Jiang Yueying on the side was also stunned. You know, Gu worms are one of the most mysterious and rare things. Different Gu worms have different habits, different ways of poisoning, and various symptoms.
Being able to draw out the Gu worms is equivalent to solving half of the Gu technique. After all, only by knowing the habits and characteristics of the Gu worms, being familiar with the details of the effects and changes of the Gu worms on the human blood, and being proficient in acupuncture, can one have the basic conditions to draw out the Gu worms.
And the young man in front of him seemed to have done it with ease.
This is no longer something that can be described as a genius, this guy is simply a monster!
Old Master Wang took a deep breath. If he hadn't been able to endure it mentally, he would have been frightened by this young man.
"I heard that the chairman of the Zhao Group has always had a cough. Is it caused by the poisonous insect?" Although Mr. Wang only specializes in medicine, he is a family friend of the Jiang family and is familiar with most of the business affairs.
Everyone knew about Zhao Cheng's cough, but no one knew why. No one believed that such a small cough could be so serious.
"I also suspected that Zhao Cheng might have been poisoned by a Gu insect, but I didn't take his pulse, so I couldn't be sure." Old Master Wang said softly. After all, he was not completely ignorant of the Gu insect poison.
"Grandpa also knows about the poison of the insect?" Zhang Ruoling was a little surprised. If Grandpa Wang knew about it, he must know the source, and his confidence in detoxifying the insect would be much better.
He was so happy that he didn't notice Jiang Yueying's expression, which was a little solemn and lonely.
Old Master Wang nodded slightly, "I know a little, but I can't say I know a lot. Zhao Cheng is suffering from a cough, I don't know how you lured out the poisonous insect, and what kind of poison is it?"
"Most of the poisonous insects that affect the respiratory organs are sensitive to the scent of spices. I used spices to lure them out. As for what kind of poison it is, I currently have two guesses. One is the Late Rest Gu, and the other is the Black Butterfly Gu. The symptoms of the two poisonous insects are quite similar, so I can't be sure which one it is yet."
"So you want to come to my place to see if there are any books that record about poisonous insects?" Old Master Wang said with a smile.
"Yes," Zhang Ruoling also nodded with a faint smile, "I thought about it, this kind of books are probably rare outside. If there is anyone who is more likely to collect it, it is only here, Grandpa."
"Haha, you've found the right place. I do have a few books about poisonous insects here. I collected them by chance when I was young and working in the countryside." Old Master Wang nodded with a smile.
Jiang Yueying's complexion had returned to normal at this time, and she smiled and said, "The books collected by Grandpa Wang are rarely shown to others."
Zhang Ruoling touched his nose and smiled, "I wonder if this junior has the honor."
"If you don't have it, then who else has it?" Old Master Wang smiled generously, and brought Zhang Ruoling and Jiang Yueying to his study. He carefully took out two very worn books from a square box. They looked like they were very old.
Zhang Ruoling also held it carefully. He knew that this kind of book was far more valuable than the incense. Many records about poisonous insects were not properly preserved over the long years, and very few of them were handed down. This line of work also gradually declined and became the most mysterious and rare existence.
The art of poisoning insects has become a secret skill that many people refuse to talk about, but in fact, poison insects can be used not only to harm people, but they are often used by evil people to do negative things, while their ability to save people is completely ignored.
"The book above was collected by a barefoot doctor when I was an educated youth working in the countryside. The old man was about the same age as I am now. It seemed that it was passed down from his ancestors. He had no children, so he gave it to me." Old Man Wang explained.
"This other half was given to me by a friend. The way it was recorded and the words used are very similar to those in ancient books. But I asked an expert to look at it. It is a handwritten copy from the late Qing Dynasty. It seems that someone copied it from somewhere at that time, but only half of it exists. However, the contents in it have long been lost and are worth collecting."
Zhang Ruoling nodded seriously. He didn't expect that the old man not only had this book, but also took two copies at once.
Although he was quite happy, he was still very careful when turning the pages of the book, for fear of accidentally damaging it.
Seeing his cautious look, Mr. Wang smiled and said, "I have copied this book separately, but since you are here, I will show you the original directly."
Zhang Ruoling smiled and nodded, knowing that Mr. Wang's willingness to take out his treasured books was a sign of his appreciation and respect for him.
