Finally, he found someone who could test the medicine for him. The most important thing now was to prepare the new poison. Of course, Su Kou was unhappy to be taken away by Jiang Yan.
Old Man Gongyang and Old Butcher watched Jiang Yan drag Su Kou away while Su Kou cursed.
"Old butcher, you should still owe me something," said the old man Gongyang.
"Remember, I owe you a knife, who should I kill?" the old butcher asked.
"Just keep this knife. I am too old to use it. If there is a chance in the future, leave this knife to these young people."
"It's up to you," the old butcher replied calmly.
The old man Gongyang touched his nose, and two nosebleeds came out.
"Today's young people are really ruthless in competing with each other."
After all was said and done, Jiang Yan finally pulled Su Kou out.
Jiang Yan rode a fat tiger across the plains, and the scenery around him flashed by, no different from when he came.
Within Jianmen is the hinterland of Yunzhou. Piyong City, Shangchi City and the capital of Qing are all located within Jianmen. There are many powerful people in Wenfu. If the disaster can spread here, it will be a major threat to the survival of Wenfu.
crisis.
The Jianmen is the key to the Qingdu. Anyone who wants to enter or exit must pass through the Jianmen.
Due to the severe drought, Jianmen was also very chaotic. When the two arrived at Jianmen, there was a long line of people waiting for inspection and release.
"Jiang Yan, don't forget what you promised me," Su Kou said.
"Don't worry, I have taken a treasure from Baiyang Sect. They don't dare to do it in Qingdu. As long as I leave Jianmen, these people will come to me. These people are your medicine men!"
"What did you take from them? These people are like mad dogs." Zuko asked curiously.
"Well, to tell you the truth, I took their divine tribute, a piece of high-grade pigment ultramarine!"
"What? Ultramarine? Your life is too good."
Su Kou was shocked. Ultramarine is the most precious treasure in the world and its value is immeasurable.
Many people fleeing famine entered Jianmen. Lu Daoxuan only said that there was an unprecedented drought in Yunzhou. Jiang Gu had no idea. It was not until he heard from the people who fled that Jiang Gu realized that this drought was very serious.
.
Those with a small fortune took carriages with their families, while those who were extremely poor did not even have a pair of shoes. They were barefoot and dressed in rags. A small cloth bag was all their family property.
Many of them had not eaten for an unknown period of time, and their faces were sallow and thin. Others did not know what had happened to them, and their clothes were stained with blood.
Seeing these poor people, even Su Kou stopped complaining. Although he wholeheartedly wanted to make achievements in the path of poison, he could not change the fact that he came from a family of doctors.
The doctor's compassion took over at this moment. Seeing a wounded man fainting, Su Kou jumped off the donkey.
After Su Kou took off the clothes of the unconscious man, a knife mark with deep bone visible was revealed.
Apparently the road to escape was not peaceful, so Su Kou took out a pill and put it into the man's mouth, and then sprinkled some powder on the wound.
Although the medicine prepared by the enlightened pharmacist cannot make people live or die, it at least has an immediate effect.
Soon, the man's face turned red, his breathing stabilized, and he woke up from his coma not long after.
There are not many people injured like this. After asking around, I found out that Lishan bandits were taking advantage of the chaos to rob. They were lucky enough to escape from the Lishan bandits, and more people died directly on the way to escape.
Jiang Yan and Su Kou looked at each other and seemed to understand each other's thoughts.
"After all, there are only so many people who can be saved by medicine," Su Kou said.
"Treating the symptoms but not the root cause"
"Then just take the Lishan bandits' nest directly."
Jiang Yan had heard someone say that there were two powerful men in the Mysterious Spiritual Realm in the Lishan bandits' nest. One of them was a double enlightenment and the other a pharmacist was enlightened, so they might not have no chance of winning.
All the people in Jianmen were passing through in an orderly manner. Among them were many people who came to escape. Whether it was Shangchi City, Qingdu or Piyong City, many people were sent to help those who entered Jianmen.
The people of Yunzhou.
This kind of famine is extremely rare in Yunzhou. At this time, not many people chose to leave Qingdu, only some caravans carrying goods.
Jianmen is the key to the Qing capital, and most of the people who guard it are scribes, obviously from the Wenfu.
The inspection is also very simple. Ordinary fleeing people do not pose any threat, so they are released directly. The main purpose is to target the enlightened people with malicious intentions mixed in.
The guards of the Sword Gate practice a special method of perception, and no one who is enlightened can escape.
But Su Kou and Jiang Chan discovered some people behaving strangely in the crowd.
"Zuko, look at that person"
Jiang Qian pointed with his hand. He looked like an ordinary person, but his face was blue and his movements were a little stiff and slow. The guard saw that the man had difficulty moving, so he helped him and sent him into the sword gate.
"Did you find anything?"
"Yin Qi!"
Jiang Yan frowned, a little confused as to why living people carry the Yin Qi that only the dead have, but Su Kou revealed the mystery in one word.
"Gu worm!"
"You mean there are worms in his body?"
"Look at his temples!"
After Su Kou said this, Jiang Yan noticed a small blood hole near his temple, and it was covered by hair, so he couldn't find it unless he looked carefully.
What's worse is that besides this person, there are several people in the same situation. The yin energy exuding from their bodies is obviously that of a corpse, and there are Gu insects in their bodies, so they can move freely.
Just when this man was about to enter Jianmen, Jiang Yan hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
"Wait a minute..."
"Who are you?" the guard asked.
"Jiang Chan, who was born outside the Wen Mansion, is weird and cannot enter the Sword Sect."
"What's weird? He's just an ordinary person."
When Jiang Yan was about to explain, Su Kou took out a dagger and cut a wound on the man's arm.
"What are you going to do, dare to hurt people at Jianmen!"
The guard shouted, and many Jianmen guards gathered around him.
"Look at his wounds," Zuko said.
"No blood? What's going on?" The guard suddenly felt strange.
"The blood will stop flowing after death. What's more, if a normal person is injured, there will be no reaction?"
"You mean he is a dead man? How could a dead man move?" the guard asked.
"There's something inside him."
As Su Kou said this, he took out the porcelain bottle. Jiang Yan was at a disadvantage and subconsciously covered his mouth and nose.
“This thing is ineffective on humans.”
After a burst of fragrance, the person who was originally expressionless and stiff started to become crazy. The guard of the Sword Gate had a cultivation level in the spirit realm, but he was actually thrown away by this ordinary person with one hand, and then he threw himself at the stranger beside him.
Man, open your mouth and start biting.
"Capture him"
The Gu worm in this man's body went berserk and fell into an attack state. Suddenly a big hand stretched out from the ground and grabbed him directly. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get rid of it.
After being restrained for a while, a blood-red bug crawled out of his mouth.
