Chapter 180 Consequences of Eating Tiger Liver
The cousin said that he was surprised when he received the call from the Feng Shui master, because in his memory, the Feng Shui master had never taken the initiative to call him. In addition, he could hear from the phone that the Feng Shui master's voice was very uneasy. , this is also very rare. No matter what happens, the Feng Shui master never loses his composure. He always looks calm and has an attitude of "if the sky falls, there is earth to hold it up". The two have been so emotionally disturbed since they have known each other for decades. , it was also the first time I met my cousin.
Hearing what our cousin said, we would naturally guess what happened to make the Feng Shui master "lose his composure" like this. It seemed to be no small matter.
After a lot of discussion, everyone guessed several possibilities, but as to whether they are correct or not, we can only say after meeting the Feng Shui master tomorrow.
Seeing that it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, we dispersed and agreed to leave at dawn tomorrow. In fact, we slept so much during the day, it didn't matter if we slept less at night, but we mainly considered my cousin because he had to He will go with us early tomorrow morning, so I want to let him rest as soon as possible.
I didn't sleep well that night. I had several nightmares and woke up two or three times with fright. Moreover, these nightmares were all related to my experiences in the valley two days ago. This is normal. It's a life-and-death situation. The danger is bound to leave a psychological shadow.
But for me, nightmares are also common. They have always troubled me since I was a child. After I was assigned a house in the city and moved here, the nightmares have greatly reduced. I don’t sleep until dawn. It was a little more peaceful, but soon the alarm sounded and it was time to get up.
Because of the special location of the Feng Shui master's residence, like last time, we could only go there on foot. However, because of the experience last time, like my cousin, I adjusted the speed this time, not too fast, not too slow, not too slow. Like last time, I started jumping and running hard when I felt energetic, but then I felt a little exhausted.
Hongmei and Xiaolei seem to have a lot of experience in traveling in the wild mountains. Their speed is also very even. On the rugged mountain road, they take every step very steadily and seriously, and they rarely talk during the walk. She doesn't talk or laugh loudly, but pays full attention to the road conditions. It seems that she has received professional training and guidance. Sister Li is similar to me. She also follows the same example as her cousin and others.
It was after six o'clock in the morning when we set off, and it was already close to nine o'clock when we arrived in the mountains where the Feng Shui master lived. The mountain road of just a few kilometers actually took more than two hours.
But this time, because I adopted a more professional "field marching technique", I was obviously not as tired as last time. It seems that there is knowledge in everything.
In addition to Hongmei, I, Sister Li and Xiao Lei have all been here once and are relatively familiar with this place. Looking at the low wooden house where the Feng Shui master lives in front of us, it is still so inconspicuous, but we are all You know, the decoration and furnishings inside the house are so different from the outside.
Just like last time, my cousin walked slowly to the wooden door, knocked hard, and shouted: "Master, are you at home?" There was no movement inside, so my cousin knocked harder a few times. And shouted louder: "Master, are you at home?" There was still no movement. From the side, I could see that my cousin's expression was a little surprised, because the last time I came, I only knocked once, and my cousin became very angry. He responded and let us in. What happened this time? Was he not at home?
My cousin stopped knocking and pushed hard. Unexpectedly, the door was ajar and opened with a creak. There were no lights on in the room and it looked very dark. My cousin was obviously familiar with the environment in the house. He reached behind the door and turned on the light in the room with a bang.
As soon as the lights were turned on, the room suddenly lit up, but what we saw in front of us shocked us: we saw the Feng Shui master lying on the bed with his hair scattered, half naked and motionless. Each of us could not help but feel A thought flashed across my mind, oh no, it seems that the Feng Shui master must have passed away, because he was nearly ninety years old after all. As the saying goes, "No one stays over after seventy." That is to say, once a person passes seventy, Years old, life will end at any time, not to mention that the Feng Shui master is already an octogenarian. No wonder he didn't respond when he knocked for so long and shouted so loudly.
But when we walked to the bed, we were even more surprised: the Feng Shui master was not dead, but he was lying there haggardly, his eyes were dull, and he looked extremely tired. He was completely different from the energetic one when we first met him. Two people.
But what surprised us most was not these, but the strange changes that took place in him.
The skin all over his body seemed to have shed layers of skin. It was so fresh and a little transparent that even the blood vessels could be clearly seen, as if they would break with the slightest touch. I suddenly thought of a word, " This kind of skin, this kind of skin is really "like you're about to burst into flames".
Our first instinct was to take the Feng Shui master to the hospital immediately. Although cars could not come in, we still had to carry him out. However, Du Hongmei is a professional doctor after all. She immediately reminded us that for many diseases, We are not allowed to move the patient at will. After her reminder, we did not act rashly. However, the Feng Shui master, who was already seriously ill, was lying on the bed at the moment, looking at the few of us with a somewhat distracted look, his mouth squirming, and he said: At the slight sound, we quickly stopped talking and leaned down to listen to what he had to say.
Although he looks very ill, the Feng Shui master is still conscious, and his voice is very weak, but if you listen carefully, you can still hear clearly. The Feng Shui master said that the reason why he is like this is because It's because for some unknown reason, the Yin Qi of this Yin Mountain suddenly became completely disordered, causing the entire system of the mountain to become completely chaotic. Because he has an extremely Yin constitution and has lived in the mountain for decades, he has become completely in tune with the nature of this mountain. The Yin Qi merged into one, and once Shan's Yin Qi was messed up, his body was greatly affected, so much so that it would decline rapidly. If Shan's Yin Qi could not be restored to its original state soon, he would also soon If he dies, there is no point in going to the hospital.
Although from an ordinary person's point of view, these words of the Feng Shui master are ridiculous, we all know that the Feng Shui master's judgment should be completely correct.
As for why the Yin Qi of this mountain is disordered, we know better than anyone else that it was caused by Du Hongmei pouring the "Elixir of the Supreme Yang" prepared by herself into the crack, which is where the Yin Vein of the mountain passes. , once the cracks cannot be closed properly, it will inevitably cause a series of chain reactions. We all slowly realized that all the strange things that have happened in the city in the past few days should be caused by this chain reaction.
But what I never expected was that this change would also affect the Feng Shui master, and it would have such a profound impact. He could call his cousin the day before yesterday, but today he is so sick. It can be seen that if this continues, The consequences could be disastrous.
My cousin's face was extremely heavy. The Feng Shui master had been friends with him for decades, and he was a good mentor and friend with deep feelings. Seeing the Feng Shui master in such a miserable state today, my cousin must have felt very painful.
He turned to Du Hongmei and asked: "Hongmei, can you save my master?"
After so many things, he knew that although Du Hongmei was young, she had profound medical attainments. I remember my cousin once half-jokingly and half-seriously said that everyone has a talent. What is a talent? It means that it is very important to others. You can do difficult things easily and well. After saying this, he added: Hongmei is extremely talented in medicine.
At that time, Du Hongmei was very embarrassed when she praised her.
But this time Du Hongmei seemed to be at her wits' end. She shook her head with a heavy face and said, "Although there is a prescription that is miraculous in treating this disease, it is useless to say it because it is impossible to get it."
After hearing this, my cousin's eyes lit up and he quickly asked: "Then tell me quickly what the prescription is. You said you can't get it. Is it because it's expensive?"
Hongmei still shook her head with a gloomy expression: "It's not a question of whether it's expensive or not, because the prescription I'm talking about is the liver of a tiger."
Tiger's liver is really unavailable.
After hearing this, my uncle couldn't help but feel discouraged, but then he seemed to remember something and murmured: "Tiger's liver, I seem to have heard an educated youth talk about tiger liver.
The educated youth said that the place where he joined the queue when he was young was a forest farm in a virgin forest. One year, when several of them were cutting down trees in the deep mountains and old forests, they suddenly found a tiger, half of its body hanging down from a big stone. , looks dead.
So, a group of them dragged the tiger back to their residence and peeled off the skin. Of course, they were reluctant to throw away the tiger meat, so they found a big pot and stewed it. They also washed some of the tiger's internal organs and threw them into the pot. I managed to get some wine, and after the tiger meat was cooked, the educated youths who had not been able to eat meat all year round started to eat it hungrily.
Among them, he and the other two people ate a lot of tiger liver as an appetizer. When they woke up the next day, they suddenly felt that their skin was hot and itchy. The slightest touch still caused burning pain. ,A more terrifying thing happened, the skin began to shed layer by layer, until it was almost the same as my master's current condition: the skin seemed to have become extremely fresh and tender, and the blood vessels under the skin could be clearly seen, and then the whole body became weak. The fever was severe and all three people had exactly the same symptoms.
