When cooking the medicinal cuisine, Qu Zhenzhen felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. She suddenly felt like she had walked into a wolf's den surrounded by a pack of wolves.
Here.
There was an unfathomable Taoist priest.
It was in a room diagonally opposite his room on the second floor.
There was also a zombie taking a bath!
No matter how hard he forced himself to calm down, Qu Zhenzhen found it hard to remain calm. This almost made her mistake the temperature of the medicine.
Finally, the last step of the medicinal cuisine was completed.
She heaved a sigh of relief, turned off the fire, and ran downstairs as if she was fleeing.
The old priest was still mixing cocktails downstairs. When he saw the girl running down, he immediately shouted,
"Is it done?"
"Done."
Qu Zhenzhen responded as he quickly walked to the entrance of the bookstore,
The bookstore was as deep as the sea.
She wanted to go home.
Look for Big Brother!
"Sigh!"
The old priest called out to her from behind.
But the girl was determined to leave, and no one could stop her.
The old priest shook his head and sighed. He took a sip of the cocktail that he had originally planned to prepare for the girl. Then, he chuckled and ran upstairs to the kitchen to steal a drink.
At the counter of the internet cafe.
Qu Mingming was sitting there drinking tea. His family had just called him to go back. He was really annoyed with his family.
There was a large group of relatives in the family, but in this generation, there were very few who had truly grasped the true art of the Qu family.
After all, times were changing. TCM's market share and demand were constantly shrinking. People were still used to going to the hospital for injections and medicine when they were sick.
However, in terms of health, the TCM market had become more and more prosperous since a few years ago.
Therefore, the group of people in the family, the same generation and many of the older generation, basically used the name of Qu family's traditional Chinese medicine to run to the health care product industry.
Making use of the people's superstition of Chinese medicine, it was naturally a huge profit.
The year before last, when the elders of the family gathered, they were still laughing at the martial arts industry that had been hit by the anti-counterfeiting storm. Who would have thought that the wheel of fortune would really turn. This year, there was also a storm in the traditional Chinese medicine and tonic industry, so the market began to be turbulent. His family hoped to invite him back to take charge, but he did not want to go back.
When he thought of the insoles that his family had made that could cure all kinds of diseases,
Nourishing sanitary pads.
Qu Mingming felt very disgusted. He would rather open an Internet cafe here and study his own bugs at night than go home.
"Brother!
Brother! "
His sister's voice interrupted Qu Ming's thoughts.
"What's wrong?
Have you delivered the medicinal cuisine? "
"I've sent it over. They, they …"
Qu Zhen pointed in the direction of the bookstore,
"Their place is too scary. They even have a zombie."
"Zombies?"
Qu Mingming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Really?"
"It's true, in the bathtub.
The zombies are taking a bath! "
Qu Zhenzhen said with a serious expression,
His face had the words "I'll bite you if you don't believe me" written all over it!
"Uh … wait, let me sort this out."
Qu Mingming really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He took out a silver needle and pierced it into his sister's fingertip. Then, he began to spin it gently.
Qu Mingming's agitated emotions began to slowly calm down, and his entire person entered a peaceful state.
"Thank you, big brother."
"Heh, it's fine. Come, let's talk about it. You said that there's a zombie in their shop, and that the zombie is taking a bath?"
"Yes, the bugs in my body sensed it. It can't be wrong. When I got close to that person, the bugs in my body began to be afraid. Usually, they would be excited when they saw a living person. This time, they were afraid!"
"I think there might be some misunderstanding here."
Qu Ming still didn't quite believe it.
He was a medical family with a long history. Of course, it wasn't an ancient family that could be found on the streets in fantasy novels. In fact, in the end, it was the inheritance of generations of doctors. However, Qu Ming was a special case. Although medicine and Gu were not separated, traditional Chinese medicine rarely played with this. As a result, people's understanding of Gu worms could only be associated with Miaojiang.
He was a special case. He liked to study this.
Therefore, he was still considered an ordinary person. He didn't see ghosts or gods, and he didn't know hell. Oh, he forgot. When he was in university, he even joined Dang. Logically speaking, he was a staunch atheist.
"Hey."
Someone shouted from behind.
Qu Ming turned around and looked behind him. When she saw Zhou Ze and the girl, she was so scared that she almost jumped up and immediately hid behind her brother.
The last time Zhou Ze came, Qu Zhen still dared to be angry with him and didn't give him a good look. But this time, she really didn't dare to treat Zhou Ze like that after experiencing a half-day trip to the bookstore.
One had to know..,
That unfathomable and terrifying old Daoist..,
They were all just this young man's subordinates!
"Come, the Dragon Boat Festival is here. We just happened to go to the market and buy some Zongzi."
As he spoke, Zhou Ze asked Bai Yingying to bring the Zongzi to the counter.
"Thank you."
Qu Ming replied.
"You're welcome."
As he spoke, Zhou Ze prepared to go back with Bai Yingying. This time, courtesy demanded reciprocity. It was nothing more than a form of expression because she had treated him to medicinal cuisine last time. Zhou Ze hadn't returned to the bookstore yet, so he didn't know that she had sent another medicinal cuisine today.
The old Daoist only cared about stealing the food and didn't call Zhou Ze to inform him.
"Did you buy this?"
Qu Ming pointed at the two big bags in Bai Yingying's hands. He could clearly smell the smell of Chinese medicine.
"Oh, a friend of mine is sick. I bought some medicine to recuperate," Zhou Ze replied.
"What disease is it?"
After Qu Ming asked, he smiled and said, "You know it too. Since Chinese medicine is used and I'm a Chinese medicine practitioner, why don't you let me take a look?"
Zhou Ze pursed his lips and said, "I'm just afraid that this disease won't be easy for you to treat."
"Just say it."
"He's poisoned."
"What poison?"
"Corpse poison."
When Qu Ming heard this, he deliberately turned his head to look at his sister behind him. He thought that his sister must have seen wrongly.
Since the other party was in the business of digging, it was normal for him to be poisoned by the corpse poison. Besides, how could there really be zombies bathing? It should be the person who was poisoned by the corpse poison using the bathtub to expel the poison.
"We can try," Qu Ming said confidently.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you."
Zhou Ze had just pushed open the door and walked into the bookstore when he saw the old Daoist running out in a hurry. He shouted at Zhou Ze as if he had seen his savior
"Boss, you're finally back. This penniless priest is going out to get a delivery!"
As he said that,
Without waiting for Zhou Ze's reply,
The old Daoist ran out of the bookstore.
However, his running posture was a little uncoordinated, as if there was a third leg between his two legs.
"Hehe, the atmosphere in our shop has always been more easy-going," Zhou Ze explained.
Qu Ming smiled but did not say anything. When the old Daoist passed by him, he smelled the smell of medicinal cuisine. It must have been that this shop assistant had secretly drunk the medicinal cuisine that he had cooked. The effect was obvious.
But he remembered that the last time he gave Zhou Ze the same medicinal cuisine,
Zhou Ze calmly finished his drink.
He left very calmly,
There was no reaction at all.
Qu Ming had once thought that his medicinal cuisine was not effective enough,
Now that he compared it,
He realized that Zhou Ze seemed to be a little … terminally ill.
"Please."
Zhou Ze invited Qu Ming and his sister to the second floor. Qu Zhen was really scared, but she still followed her brother. She was worried that something would happen to her brother here.
Pushing open Xu Qinglang's door, Xu Qinglang, who was originally sleeping, opened his eyes. When he saw that a stranger had come, he complained with some dissatisfaction,
"You treat me as a scenic spot and even invite people to watch?"
"Sure, I'll split the ticket money with you. Although there are few men who look better than women, it's not like there aren't any. However, zombies who look better than women are really rare."
Qu Zhen walked to the side of the bathtub and observed Xu Qinglang's condition. He frowned and said, "This isn't an ordinary corpse poison. This is the kind that's really contagious …"
Ordinary corpse poison wouldn't cause such a change in a person's body.
"Can it be cured?" Zhou Ze asked. He only cared about the results.
"I've only read about this kind of situation in ancient books. There are ways. Moreover, your method is actually very ineffective."
Qu Ming reached out and soaked in the bathtub,
Then, he put his hand to the tip of his nose and sniffed,
He seemed to have discovered something and felt a little strange,
He immediately stuck out his tongue and licked Xu Qinglang's bathwater on his palm.
Xu Qinglang's face turned red.
"There's a sour smell in this smell. What is it? This is the best tonic for relaxing the muscles, promoting blood circulation, and treating internal and external injuries."
Zhou Ze thought for a moment and understood. His classmate was clearly talking about monkey's urine mixed with mud.
"Let's talk about how to treat him first. What do we need to prepare?"
"My method is to quickly raise a special gu worm, then use this gu worm to enter the patient's body and suck up the corpse poison completely, thus solving the problem of the corpse poison from the root.
"But the problem is..,
"I have a suitable gu worm here,
"It's just that I lack something to cultivate gu worms."
"What is it?"
"This requires you to make another trip to that cemetery, and it will be very dangerous."
"Cemetery?" Xu Qinglang was dumbfounded. Why did it involve the cemetery again?
"Which cemetery?" Zhou Ze didn't remember what it meant.
"It's the place where he was poisoned. Find a zongzi."
"Zongzi?"
"Huh?
Shouldn't the zombies in the cemetery be called zongzi according to your jargon? "Qu Ming asked curiously.
"You're the zongzi. Your whole family is zongzi!" Bai Yingying immediately scolded.
"Yingying, don't mess around," Zhou Ze reminded.
"Wu Wu Wu."
She was instantly obedient.
"Okay, let's find that zongzi … What do we do then?"
"I need a strand of his hair as a primer. Zombie hair, add some specific medicinal herbs, and use it to cultivate gu worms. The gu worms cultivated this way will have a natural desire for the components of the corpse poison. It's best to use it to detoxify the poison."
"Oh, I see. You should have said so earlier." As he said that, Zhou Ze turned to look at Bai Yingying. "Hair."
"Okay, Boss."
Bai Yingying used her fingernails to cut off a strand of hair and handed it to Qu Ming.
"Don't stand on ceremony. You can use it," Bai Yingying said generously. "If it's not enough, ask me for more."
Qu Ming looked at the hair in his hand,
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry,
He said,
"What I want isn't your hair, what I want is …"
As he said that,
Qu Ming seemed to have suddenly thought of something,
His face immediately turned pale,
