HCB Chapter 218 The Horror of the Medicine Man Technique
Chapter 218 The Horror of the Medicine Man Technique
Lingnan, Wen family.
"Grandpa, I took the rubbing of the Medicine Man Technique with me. Maybe it will be useful when I go to Qiandong City this time."
"Lingnan City's General Su Xin has been mobilizing troops frequently in recent days. I'm sure our Wen family has been surrounded within three miles!"
"I'm going to send Dongjun to Mr. Li. When I come back, I will definitely go to help Grandpa Baili, the Marquis of Zhenxi. You have your uncle by your side in Lingnan. I bet that Su Xin wouldn't dare to do anything to our Wen family if he wasn't blinded by greed!"
After Wen Yanzhao finished talking to Wen Lin, he rolled up the rubbing of the medicine man technique and casually stuffed it into the storage space.
Wen Lin stroked his long beard and nodded:
"Zhao'er has considered everything. Don't worry, the Wen family has Grandpa as its old bones. Even if the king of heaven comes, he will pull out a few hairs from his beard!"
"Go and take care of your own business. If anything goes wrong, there's still your uncle and Bu Ping. Don't worry about Grandpa."
"Grandpa has already tested the art of making people into medicine on the macaques from Dusong Ridge... To be honest, this art of making people into medicine has given Grandpa mixed feelings!"
Wen Yanzhao was shocked. Wen Lin had not told him about this matter yet, so he asked:
"Grandpa has already tried it? Why does he say it's a mixed bag? Is there something wrong with this medicine man technique?"
Wen Lin frowned and shook his head:
"It's not the medicine man's technique that's the problem. I underestimated the horror of this evil technique!"
"Zhao'er, you know that there's a group of ferocious monkeys in Dusongling. People who go up the mountain to collect herbs and firewood are often scratched and bitten by the monkeys."
"During the days when you were attending the poison testing conference, A-lie helped me capture a few monkeys. Grandpa, following the instructions in the Medicine Man Technique, cultivated these monkeys one by one into 'Medicine Monkey Bodies'. Then, the thing that Grandpa was worried about happened!"
"Those monkeys have become even more ferocious and brutal. They are not afraid of weapons and even ignore ordinary poisons!"
"This is all to be expected. The most terrifying thing is that this group of monkeys accidentally bit a few of our hunting dogs to death. Who knew that three or four hours later, the hunting dogs came back to life and turned out to be just like the medicine monkeys..."
"To prevent any accidents, Grandpa had no choice but to kill these beasts with his own hands, and then set fire to their bodies..."
After listening to Wen Lin's narration, Wen Yanzhao was startled and thought to himself:
"Holy crap! These aren't zombies... So those legendary medicine men who fought against hundreds of enemies when Beili attacked the capital of Xichu were actually zombies!"
'No wonder Ruxian and Xin Baicao are so cautious about this medicine man technique...'
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Wen Yanzhao calmly said to Wen Lin:
"As Grandpa said, this is truly an utterly evil technique..."
"So, what are Grandpa's plans for the future? If we continue the experiment, we can't just use animals. Zhao'er believes that if we want to use the technique of making medicine men, we must use humans!"
Wen Lin's eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice:
"That being said, where can Grandpa get a living person to test this technique?"
Wen Yanzhao's heart moved, and he immediately thought of Su Xin, who had been eyeing the Wen family recently, and whispered in Wen Lin's ear:
"Grandpa, this is it, this is it..."
After hearing Wen Yanzhao's words, Wen Lin was startled at first, and then knocked on Wen Yanzhao's head:
"Zhao'er, Zhao'er, you are much more cruel than this old vicious grandpa!"
……
The next morning, Wen Yanzhao and Baili Dongjun bid farewell to Wen Lin and the elders of the Wen family, then took two horses and rushed to Qianyue Town.
At this moment, Ye Dingzhi also stepped into the territory of Beili.
It took him four or five hours to bypass the checkpoint on the border of Yunzhou.
With his current strength, even if he forced his way through those hundred or so soldiers, they would surely be killed by his sword.
However, Ye Dingzhi did not want to commit more murders, and even if he killed them, if one or two scouts escaped, it would probably cause trouble for him.
His target for this trip to Apocalypse City was not to draw his sword against anyone other than King Qing.
Ye Dingzhi galloped on his horse, passed Yunzhou City, then turned northwest and headed straight for a small village called "Sanqipu" outside Yunzhou City.
This small village was where Ye Dingzhi lived for a few years. It got its name because it was rich in the medicinal herb Panax notoginseng.
When Ye Dingzhi left here to go to Jianlin Town to seize the sword, he made an agreement with a little boy.
Later, he gave the little boy his pseudonym here, Ye Xiaofan.
After entering Sanqipu, Ye Dingzhi led the horse and found the thatched houses where he had lived before with ease.
The thatched house had obviously been renovated, and winter cabbage and radishes were growing in the previously abandoned vegetable garden in front of the door.
Ye Dingzhi looked inside with some disappointment. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly heard a girl's voice behind him:
"Who are you looking for?"
Ye Dingzhi turned around upon hearing the sound, and saw a pure and bright girl walking out of the thatched cottage.
The girl was about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was dressed in plain cloth, had two black braids, and her eyes were bright and lively.
She has a straight nose and thin lips, but there are a few faint freckles on both sides of her nose.
But these freckles did not cover up the girl's beauty, but instead added a bit of youthful vitality.
Ye Dingzhi glanced at the girl with interest and said softly, "It's okay, just passing by."
The girl took a closer look, and her pretty face immediately turned red. She asked with a hint of surprise:
"Ye Xiaofan! When did you come back?"
After saying that, he walked out of the thatched hut, lowered his head and said with his hands a little awkwardly:
"Haven't you eaten yet? I just made some porridge, it's still hot. My brother said that the thatched cottage you left behind shouldn't be abandoned, so he asked me to come over and clean it up occasionally..."
The girl naturally recognized Ye Dingzhi. Her younger brother was the little boy who had learned martial arts from Ye Dingzhi for a period of time.
Ye Dingzhi felt warm in his heart. He tied up his horse and went into the thatched house, sitting down at an old elm wood table.
"I just arrived too, so I'll have to trouble you, Qiqi. Why don't I see your brother?"
The girl's name is Shen Qiqi, and she is the daughter of a herbal medicine farmer in Sanqi Village.
Shen Qiqi first poured Ye Dingzhi a cup of big leaf tea, and then hurriedly served the porridge.
It’s not because she is not good at housework, but Ye Dingzhi’s sudden appearance made the girl’s heart beat a little.
"My younger brother went to the threshing ground to practice martial arts. Ugh... During the time you were away, he was like a possessed demon, wielding a wooden sword all day long, saying he would become famous in the world. Father prepared money for him to attend a private school, but he refused to go..."
"By the way, Ye Xiaofan is back this time, will he leave again?"
As Shen Qiqi spoke, she brought over a blue-rimmed porcelain bowl filled with rice porridge and gently placed it in front of Ye Dingzhi.
Ye Dingzhi sniffed the porridge and replied softly:
"Stay one night and leave tomorrow."
Shen Qiqi was startled, and said "Oh" in a disappointed tone, and brought a plate of stir-fried winter bamboo shoots from the stove:
"Why are you in such a hurry? When will you come back?"
Ye Dingzhi wolfed down the porridge in his bowl and replied in a slurred voice:
"I don't know either. Maybe I'll come back, or maybe I'll never come back!"
Shen Qiqi stopped asking questions and just sat down opposite Ye Dingzhi and asked carefully:
"Did you seek any work when you went to the city this time?"
Ye Dingzhi picked up a piece of winter bamboo shoots and shook his head.
"No, I just went back to see Master."
Shen Qiqi nodded, looking at the calluses on Ye Dingzhi's knuckles and said lovingly:
"You must have suffered a lot. Remember to take good care of yourself."
Ye Dingzhi put down the empty porcelain bowl and grinned at Shen Qiqi:
"Okay! Any more? Another bowl!"
