Chapter 280: Poison Sacrifice: Fighting Poison with Poison
Lu Zhanfeng was poisoned by the snake king poison and his whole body was weak. Tang Yejue hugged him without saying a word, letting all his strength be supported by his own arms.
"Well, that's not necessary—"
"Stop talking nonsense, let's find a place to detoxify you first," Tang Yejue thought for a while, "I remember there is a big Buddhist temple not far from Snake Valley, I will take you there."
The Great Buddha Temple is the most secretive temple among the hundreds of Buddhist temples in Nanzhao. It was a temple built by the king of neighboring Dai. It is not open to the public and is only used for monks to live and worship Buddha. Although it does not belong to Nanzhao
It is the royal temple of the country, but it is also very gorgeously built.
. However, they do not allow outsiders to enter. Even Tang Yejue only heard from Yougu that the monks at the Great Buddha Temple have weird personalities. Think about it, a temple is actually built in a place with no human habitation around, and no one is allowed to come to offer incense. But
Isn't it strange?
After dragging Lu Zhanfeng across the suspension bridge, not far away, he saw the golden spire faintly exposed in the jungle.
"We'll be there soon, hold on." Seeing the people next to him getting weaker and weaker, Tang Yejue was a little anxious. He had never encountered such a thing. Someone was injured because of him, and he was not in the environment he was most familiar with.
, if something happens to this person, wouldn’t it be his own fault?
Dragging Lu Zhanfeng to the door of the temple, there were two monks guarding the door. As soon as they saw the visitor, they said, "This is a private temple, outsiders are not allowed to enter."
Tang Yejue said: "I am a member of the Five Sacred Sect of Hetuo Mountain. My friend is injured, and I hope to use the valuable land..."
I originally thought that I might be rejected. After all, Yougu said that outsiders are not allowed to enter here. But the two young monks looked at each other, and one of them said: "You are a member of the Five Saints Sect. Do you have proof?"
Tang Yejue was stunned and turned his arm to show the young monk the black snake totem on his arm.
The young monk actually said very considerately: "Please come in quickly——"
In this way, Tang Yejue and Lu Zhanfeng were unexpectedly invited into the temple. It turned out that they were particularly friendly to the people of the Five Saints Sect. So why did the old man from Yougu say that they had weird personalities?
After walking into the Zen Temple, Tang Yejue realized why Yougu said this place was very gorgeous - most Buddhist temples are square in shape, facing east and west. The roof slope is made up of three stacked layers. The tile decorations on the main ridge are in the shape of flames.
The image of an upright phoenix has a unique style and is an architectural form unique to neighboring countries.
A young monk helped Tang Yejue help Lu Zhanfeng into the side hall and sit down. After Tang Yejue thanked him, he quickly sat behind Lu Zhanfeng and input his internal energy. The reason why he had to be moved to a safe place was because Danfan from Snake Valley had arrived.
At night, more venomous snakes will appear, making it impossible for them to camp in the wild.
At this moment, rustling sounds seemed to be heard from behind the Buddha statue in the temple. The sound was not loud, but Tang Yejue's ears were very sensitive.
"Who?" He turned to look at the table under the Buddhist niche. Seeing that there was no movement, he pulled out the knife from behind, and then a little bald man crawled out from under the table.
"Is he a young novice monk?" Tang Yejue was stunned, "I'm sorry, I scared you."
The little novice monk looked to be about seven or eight years old. He was wearing an orange-red robe. He stood behind Amitabha seriously, shook his head and said, "Donor, can you let me see his injuries?"
Tang Yejue hesitated, but still collected his inner strength and said: "He is not injured, but his skin was eroded by snake venom -"
"There's no injury, what's that?" The little novice monk pointed at Lu Zhanfeng's arm. Tang Yejue came back to his senses and took a look, only to realize that he was originally wearing black clothes, so he couldn't tell that his arm was full of blood.
Blood. He hurriedly pulled off Lu Zhanfeng's sleeve, only to find that the intact piece of flesh on his arm had long been corroded by snake venom.
"Did you give him any medicine? Could it be Qudu Powder?" asked the little novice monk, "otherwise his arm would have been broken into pieces."
Tang Yejue didn't say anything, but quickly sealed the acupuncture points around Lu Zhanfeng's arm. When he tried to take the medicine again, he was stopped by the little novice monk.
"Did you meet the Snake King?" the young novice asked again.
Tang Yejue nodded: "I just didn't expect the snake king's poison to be so powerful!"
The little novice monk said: "The Snake King in Snake Valley was raised by the high priest next to the King of Dai. Now he is kept here to guard this Buddhist temple and prevent outsiders from invading. Just now, the Snake King must not have attacked you, because you are the fifth
People from the Holy Cult still have a strong smell of poison... The Snake King is afraid of you." He glanced at Lu Zhanfeng and said, "But he is different. He is from the Central Plains, and he happens to be the Snake King's target."
"Stop talking so much now," Tang Yejue said anxiously, "The most important thing is to save him now. If possible, can you help me look after him? I'm going to collect medicine to apply to his wounds!"
The little novice nodded and said, "Since you are destined to come in, I will naturally protect him from getting worse. But..." He considered for a moment, "Do you know what medicine can suppress the poison of the snake king?"
Tang Yejue smiled: "I can be considered a half-gu doctor. Although ordinary snake venom can be cured by Andrographis paniculata and Viola paniculata, but his King Snake Venom may also require Chonglou and... King Snake Venom."
Fight poison with poison, this is what his master taught him. Seeing the little novice novice smiling and nodding, Tang Yejue said, "He'll leave it to you. I'll be back as soon as I go."
When leaving the Great Buddha Temple, it was already getting dark. Tang Yejue had grown up in such an environment since he was a child. Even snakes, insects, tigers and leopards were no match for him. It’s just that the medicine Chonglou was hard to find, and it wouldn’t be possible to lure the Snake King out of his cave.
It's easy. The snake king was already avoiding him. If he came even an inch closer, the snake king would retreat. What's more, after seeing his blood, the snake king refused to come out.
So how can we get the snake venom from the snake king?
At this moment, he discovered several horses tied up in front of the Great Buddha Temple——
When Lu Zhanfeng woke up, his eyes were in a trance. He only saw many lotus glazed lamps shining brightly. He didn't realize where he was for a while. It was just that the moon was dark and the wind was high, but he didn't know when, a
A butterfly flew in from outside the woodshed. Lu Zhanfeng felt a little pain in his arm and couldn't even lift it up. When he lowered his head, he saw that his arm was already wrapped with thick gauze. And the butterfly happened to stay on his arm.
on the wound.
Only then did he remember that his arm was corroded by snake venom.
There are indeed all kinds of spiritual beasts and birds in Miao territory, which I have never seen in the Central Plains.
When he stretched out his other hand, the butterfly left the wound and stayed at his distinct joints.
"Are you awake?" At some point, Tang Yejue walked in with a bowl of hot soup, "Since you're awake, why not drink the medicine quickly?"
