Chapter 418
hi, Account: Popular: Night:
"Do you like women looking at you with a look of disgust?"
Meng Jingzhou felt that Lu Yang might have some serious illness.
It seemed that ever since entering the Huang Province, he felt that Lu Yang's condition was getting more and more serious.
"It's like this. I found the Valley Master of the Seven Emotions Valley, Shuang Feiyan. Valley Master Shuang has some friendship with the Fourth Elder and is willing to help you resolve the karmic backlash. It's just that her ability is limited, and she can only help you resolve a portion of it, not completely."
On the way to find Meng Jingzhou, Lu Yang had also considered that Valley Master Shuang's cultivation was not enough to resolve it completely, so he wondered if it would work if the previous Valley Master or someone like the Supreme Elder of the Seven Emotions Valley took action.
Valley Master Shuang's response was—do you think everyone with a higher seniority than me has reached the Tribulation Transcendence stage?
"Valley Master Shuang can change the effect of the karmic backlash from 'unable to see women' to 'any woman you see will loathe you'. As for how to resolve it thoroughly later, we still need to continue thinking of ways."
Meng Jingzhou had a strange expression: "How come I feel like these two effects are six of one and half a dozen of the other?"
"How can you say it's six of one and half a dozen of the other? Before, you couldn't even enter the gate of a brothel, but now you can enter."
"Change to a more normal metaphor next time, thank you."
Meng Jingzhou squatted on the ground, touching his mouth and thinking. If he could resolve part of the curse, he wouldn't have to squat in the mountain gullies every day, come back and listen to Lu Yang show off his luck with women, and he would be able to enter the city. He wouldn't be restricted anymore when going anywhere, and he wouldn't have to worry about disasters falling from the sky and chasing him around.
"Fine, then I'll trouble Valley Master Shuang. Uh, how should I talk to Valley Master Shuang?"
Lu Yang sighed. Valley Master Shuang and Meng Jingzhou could not meet, and Old Ma could not be relied upon, so he could only act as the messenger himself.
He resigned himself to returning the way he came and found Valley Master Shuang, who was meditating and resting under a tree.
"Did you find your companion?"
"Found him. He is willing to accept your treatment."
Valley Master Shuang nodded, then thought of another problem, her brows slightly furrowed.
"What's wrong with you?"
"His curse is extremely difficult to resolve. Even resolving it to a certain extent has great difficulty. I need to observe his specific situation to decide what method to use to resolve it."
"But now you and Old Meng can't meet, right?"
"Yes, that is the problem."
Valley Master Shuang had lived for more than two thousand years, and her experience was far beyond Lu Yang's. She quickly thought of a solution.
"I have a way. I can perform pulse diagnosis by hanging thread."
"However, there are many plants here, which affects the diagnostic effect and is inconvenient to perform. How about this: you bring your companion to the entrance of the Seven Emotions Valley. There are no obstacles there."
Valley Master Shuang left these words and flew back to the Seven Emotions Valley by herself to prepare the magic treasure used for pulse diagnosis by hanging thread.
Lu Yang folded back to the desolate mountain where Meng Jingzhou was and let Old Ma pull the two to the Seven Emotions Valley.
This time, Old Ma did not slow down and used space magic to pull the two back quickly.
At this time, the people who came to resolve curses outside the Seven Emotions Valley had all dispersed, and the disciples who were seeing patients had also moved their small stools back to the valley. Meng Jingzhou returned to the Seven Emotions Valley very smoothly.
Lu Yang entered the Seven Emotions Valley and got the magic treasure for pulse diagnosis by hanging thread from Valley Master Shuang.
Pulse diagnosis by hanging thread is an ancient diagnostic method originating from the Great Qian Dynasty. When the Qian Emperor's concubine was ill, she needed a royal physician to diagnose her, but the concubine was the Qian Emperor's woman, so how could she allow other men to touch her?
The royal physicians of Great Qian came up with a method. They wrapped one end of a silk thread around the concubine's wrist, while the other end was held by the royal physician. The royal physician would diagnose the illness based on the feel, pulse, spiritual power, and many other factors transmitted by the hanging thread, combined with his own rich medical skills.
More brilliant royal physicians were proficient in escape arts and would sneak in under the cover of night to see the concubine, without anyone knowing.
"I understand the principle, but why did you tie me up so tightly? Didn't we agree that pulse diagnosis by hanging thread only needs to be wrapped around the wrist?"
Meng Jingzhou was furious. His whole body was wrapped in white silk thread, leaving only his mouth not blocked.
"Shut up, shut up."
Lu Yang also wrapped his mouth.
"What other way is there? This is not an ordinary karmic backlash. If you want a smooth diagnosis, how can one thread be enough? Only by tying up the whole body can it be better diagnosed. Bear with it, this is Valley Master Shuang's intention."
Meng Jingzhou gave up and honestly waited for Valley Master Shuang's diagnosis.
Lu Yang entered the Seven Emotions Valley. Valley Master Shuang was holding a handful of thread ends, closing her eyes and meditating, thinking of a solution.
Lu Yang held his breath, not daring to disturb Valley Master Shuang's diagnosis.
"A single-body Jin Dan, quite a lot of guts."
"You can tell this is a single-body Jin Dan?" Lu Yang was surprised. This was the first time someone outside the Wendao Sect had recognized Meng Jingzhou's Jin Dan.
"I saw a single-body spiritual root when I was young. The talent was quite high, but it couldn't compare to this companion of yours."
"This bloodline sign, and the surname Meng, so it's the Meng family's boy." Valley Master Shuang smiled, recalling some things from her youth.
"This karmic backlash is a bit interesting, even more serious than what Shan Ren described. Fortunately, it didn't exceed my expectations."
Valley Master Shuang already had an idea in her heart and calculated how to resolve part of the karmic backlash.
"Have you learned the principles of curses?"
"No."
"Curses have dual attributes of soul and body. If you want to resolve a curse, you must start from both the physical level and the soul level."
"This is toad skin, dried centipede, five-poison insect powder... You feed these things to the Meng family boy in the order I have arranged for you. Remember, eat them raw. This can resolve the physical curse. Then use this set of Seven-Star Silver Needles to prick and bleed. After the wound heals, prick and bleed again. Repeat this three times. The Seven-Star Silver Needles have the ability to connect the soul and can resolve the soul curse."
"Have you remembered everything I told you?"
"Let me confirm once. Are you sure toad skin and these things should be eaten raw?"
"Eating them cooked is fine, but eating them raw is more efficient."
"Absorption efficiency is higher?"
"Time efficiency is higher. It can save the time of cooking."
"Okay, I've remembered." Lu Yang turned to leave but was called back by Valley Master Shuang.
"Wait, there's one thing I need to confirm with you again."
"You say?"
"Is the old thief Daoist Bu Yu really still alive? I know some sect masters like to keep it a secret after death, fearing that the impact will be too great. If the old thief Daoist Bu Yu is really gone, tell me, and I will personally take you to the Corpse-Driving Sect to learn how to refine living corpses."
"Do you have a grudge against my master?"
Valley Master Shuang sneered repeatedly: "In this world, who doesn't have a grudge against your master?"
"Back then, your master was locked in prison, and Shan Ren and I went to visit him together. When your master saw me, he said he was immune to curses and that no curse could hurt him. If I didn't believe it, I could try. Of course I didn't believe it, so I cast several curses on him, and then your master was released for medical treatment outside the prison."
Lu Yang: "..."
"Later, the case was exposed, and the government officials caught your master and me together for jailbreak."
"... My master is still alive. He was locked in a prison cell a while ago. I don't know if he has come out now."
"What a pity."
This is a masterpiece that is soul-stirring and gripping, presented with all one's talent.
