Chapter 346
Gradually, people's doubts dissipated, and they resumed treatment. Thanks to the tireless efforts of the three, the terrible epidemic was finally brought under control. The city returned to its former peace and tranquility, and smiles returned to the faces of the people. Lu Muchuan, Ye Jiuchen, and Dongfang Wan'er became revered healers. With their belief in saving lives, they packed their bags and embarked once again on an unknown journey of healing. Their figures faded into the distance in the afterglow of the setting sun, but the hope and warmth they left behind will forever be etched in every corner of this city, becoming a legend passed down in the hearts of the people of Zhang.
As dawn broke, soft light filtered through the dense foliage, casting dappled shadows on the ground. The three walked slowly along the winding, serpentine mountain path. Dewdrops, like strings of tiny pearls, clung to the wildflowers and grasses on either side, shimmering gently in the dim light. Soon, they entered a lush, verdant forest. A thin mist hung in the air, ethereal and veiled, adding to the forest's mysterious and tranquil atmosphere. In the distance, the faint, deep growls of wild beasts echoed through the valleys, making the forest seem even more profound and mysterious.
In the stillness, a melodious flute tune rose gently like a babbling brook. The ethereal and graceful sound seemed to possess an invisible magic, slowly seeping into the ears of the three, enticing them to follow the sound towards its source. Following a path hidden by fallen leaves, they suddenly came upon a cave. Before the cave, an elderly man with white hair sat cross-legged on the ground. He wore a coarse gray linen robe, his face haggard, his eyes filled with worry and exhaustion. Beside the old man lay a young man, his face as pale as paper, his lips bloodless, his breath weak, like a withered leaf falling in the autumn wind, the light of life quietly fading.
The old man sensed someone approaching and looked up. When he saw Lu Muchuan, Ye Jiuchen, and Dongfang Wan'er, a glimmer of joy flashed in his eyes, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky—fleeting yet clearly visible. The old man's lips trembled as he spoke, explaining that the young man was suffering from an extremely rare and deadly poison. He had exhausted all his knowledge, but was powerless to save him, and could only watch helplessly as the young man's life slowly faded away in agony. Upon hearing this, Lu Muchuan strode forward without hesitation, crouching down to carefully examine the young man's symptoms. His gaze was focused and sharp, his slender fingers gently resting on the young man's wrist as he took his pulse. After a moment, he frowned slightly. This poison was indeed complex and difficult to cure, unlike anything he had ever seen before. The toxicity had penetrated deep into the internal organs; without immediate treatment, the young man's life was in imminent danger.
After a tense and serious discussion, the three exchanged glances, nodded firmly, and decided to work together to detoxify the young man. Ye Jiuchen stood tall to the side, took a deep breath, and then circulated his inner energy, slowly placing his palms on the major acupoints on the young man's back. His expression was solemn, large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his inner energy flowed continuously into the young man's body, attempting to suppress the toxins that were spreading like a surging tide. Dongfang Wan'er quickly turned around, her figure nimbly darting through the forest, carefully searching for nearby herbs that could aid in the detoxification. Her eyes were sharp, not missing any corner, and soon she returned with a large handful of herbs emitting a unique aroma. Lu Muchuan took the herbs, processed them briefly, and then used his unique and exquisite acupuncture technique. His silver needles moved like nimble flying catkins, accurately piercing various acupoints on the young man's body, stimulating the meridians, guiding the flow of qi and blood, and working together with the herbs and Ye Jiuchen's inner energy to combat the deadly toxins.
Time slipped away quietly in the tense atmosphere. Several hours passed, and the young man's complexion gradually regained some color, his previously weak breathing becoming steady and strong. The hideous black poison spots on his body were slowly fading, and signs of life were returning to his body. Seeing this, the old man was moved to tears. He knelt down with a thud, repeatedly kowtowing to the three men, his gratitude overflowing. The old man slowly rose, pointing with trembling hands into the depths of the forest, telling them that many rare and precious medicinal herbs grew in the valley ahead, herbs that might save many more people suffering from illness. However, the valley was also fraught with danger, not only with ferocious wild beasts but also with steep, treacherous terrain and various unknown traps.
Upon hearing this, the three exchanged a smile, a smile devoid of fear or hesitation, only filled with determination and perseverance. Without hesitation, they packed their belongings and strode towards the valley. In their hearts, as long as they could save more lives, as long as they could sow more hope and kindness in this world, then no hardship or danger was insurmountable. Their figures gradually disappeared into the mountains and forests, yet they seemed to leave a shining trail in the world, a testament to the noble spirit of healers—their compassion and dedication to saving lives—illuminating the mountains and forests, and lighting their way forward.
Stepping into the valley, a profound stillness washed over them like a tidal wave, enveloping the three as if to swallow them whole. The surrounding silence made the air heavy, amplifying every faint breath, and this oppressive stillness instilled a sense of dread. Lu Muchuan moved with agility, his eyes keenly focused ahead, each step cautious and careful, like an explorer groping forward in the dark, meticulously searching for a safe path. Ye Jiuchen stood tall and straight, his expression cold and stern, maintaining a high level of vigilance at all times, closely following Dongfang Wan'er, their eyes resolute and resolute, revealing fearless courage.
Suddenly, a massive black panther sprang from the dense grass like a black lightning bolt. Its body was agile and powerful, its black fur gleaming coldly in the dim light. The panther's eyes, like two burning green flames, shone with a fierce and savage light, fixed intently on the three people before it, as if scrutinizing its prey. Lu Muchuan, however, remained calm and composed, his eyes showing no panic or fear. He swiftly drew a slender silver needle from his sleeve, flicked it lightly, and the needle shot out like a silver meteor, striking the panther precisely on the tip of its nose. The panther winced in pain, letting out a low growl and taking a few steps back, but its eyes still burned with fury, showing no sign of abandoning its attack.
