Chapter 164 Wan Yu's Decision
"No one can do it? Why do you say that?"
Wan Yu noticed that Leng Zhuxin was looking at the small bag hanging on his waist. He stretched out his hand to protect the bag and asked with a frown.
Seeing that he had taken the bait, Leng Zhuxin sighed again, "If we want to remove the salt worms without damaging their arms, there is only one way, and that is to remove all the salt worms from their bodies without damaging their meridians.
Not only does one need to be quick and steady, but after removing the saltworms, one also needs to quickly close the cut skin and flesh to stop the bleeding. Who can do this?"
"Me!" Wan Yu almost shouted out, but he suddenly raised his head and only dared to shout this in his heart.
He opened his eyes wide and looked at Leng Zhuxin, and was once again caught in a struggle between his conscience and his desires.
Leng Zhuxin also noticed his dilemma and glanced at the small bag again: "To cut the flesh, you must need an extremely sharp knife. I heard that the Red House Auction House auctioned off a willow-leaf knife with a very thin profit margin.
After some inquiries, it seems that it was you, Brother Wan, who bought it?
If there really is such a cultivator who can save those women from danger, I may have to borrow your knife, Fellow Daoist Wan.
I just don't know how to put the skin and flesh of the salt worm back together after making such a big cut and taking it out.
Alas, I feel really distressed when I see those women these days. The pain caused by saltworms is really too great.
If I could do it, I would go and save them without hesitation."
Wan Yu only felt that Leng Zhuxin's words were directed at him. If it weren't for the fact that he knew how to do dissection and suture and no one else knew about it, he would have thought that Leng Zhuxin had investigated him and deliberately provoked him to take action.
Wan Yu felt the small bag with his hand, but hesitated and still did not take out the scalpel and needle inside.
He only asked Leng Zhuxin, "Could Fellow Daoist Leng take me to see those women?"
……
Wan Yu did not agree immediately, but Leng Zhuxin was not discouraged. After hearing that he wanted to see those women, Leng Zhuxin immediately took him to the Qingxuan Sect’s headquarters in Qingquan Town.
After a few days of cleaning up in the yard of the station, a shed was built, and wooden beds covered with bedding were placed inside, which became the temporary shelter for the women.
The resident alchemist was busily moving around, feeding bowls of medicine to the women.
This medicine was developed by Chen Yulin. It is a decoction that can detoxify salt worms.
Chen Yulin had none of the airs of a ninth-grade pharmacist. He was dressed in a simple linen suit with his sleeves casually rolled up. He stood in the yard and watched his disciples make medicine. From time to time, he would throw the herbs he had processed into the big pot in front of him.
The whole yard was filled with a strong and pungent smell of medicine. The blue lines on the women's bodies, whose bodies had not been infected with salt worms for long, had almost faded.
But the faces of those who were seriously injured were still covered with deep and shallow blue lines, and their eyes were still unclear.
Leng Zhuxin brought Wan Yu into the courtyard. Although Chen Yulin was a little surprised that she came back after just leaving and brought the young master of Wan Dao Sect with her, he just greeted her and didn't ask any more questions.
Wan Yu looked up and asked Leng Zhuxin with a trembling voice, "How long can these women live?"
"Master Chen has developed a medicine that can cure the saltworm poison. However, if the saltworms are not eliminated, they will have to drink the medicine continuously. The pain of the saltworm bites will not be alleviated at all. If the medicine is stopped, they will die.
Not only are they unable to cultivate, they are also unable to do heavy work. Those women who are severely poisoned have hundreds of salt worms in their bodies, and the toxins they produce will affect their five senses, so medicine will not be of much use to them.
Leng Zhuxin was telling the truth, but it made Wan Yu feel very uncomfortable.
Wan Yu couldn't bear to watch any longer, couldn't bear to hear the women's painful and suppressed cries any longer, so he turned his head to glance at the Qingxuan Sect disciples in the courtyard, reached out and tugged at Leng Zhuxin's sleeve, "Fellow Daoist Leng, can you please excuse me for a moment?"
Leng Zhuxin nodded, handed the medicine bowl in her hand to a little girl, and as usual, took out a piece of candied fruit from her storage bag and stuffed it into the little girl's hand before turning and walking out of the yard: "Let's go, let's talk outside."
……
After leaving the courtyard, Wan Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that no one was around, he whispered to Leng Zhuxin, "If we take the salt worms out of their bodies according to your method, will they be able to survive?
Will the person who saved them be regarded as an evil cultivator and a scourge to the world of immortal cultivation?
After all, the method you mentioned, Fellow Daoist Leng, is truly appalling."
Leng Zhuxin knew that Wan Yu wanted to take action, but he still had some concerns. In order to dispel Wan Yu's concerns, Leng Zhuxin thought for a while and said, "Things in this world are not black and white. Those who harm others are evil cultivators and are a disaster. How can those who save people be evil cultivators?
The method I'm talking about is indeed horrifying, but that's because no one has ever done it. If anyone has done it, they've done it very well.
Not only the women in the yard can be saved, but those who have been disemboweled or have their tendons broken by evil cultivators or enemies may also be saved within a certain period of time.
Those who have been poisoned by evil or demonic cultivators, or have something buried in their bodies, can naturally be saved.
Isn’t this a way of saving people that is different from the way of alchemy and medicine?
The elixir is poisonous and the medicine is poisonous. Does that mean that the way of elixirs and medicine is an evil way just because they are poisonous?
It all depends on how the people who know how to use it use it. If someone can really practice the Tao I mentioned to the extreme and benefit the world of immortal cultivation, wouldn't he also be the founder of a Tao?
Although it may be difficult to be accepted at first, it will be recognized by people sooner or later.
Besides, if there is someone who can do it and is willing to save the women in the hospital but does not want others to know who he is, he can just hide his identity and come to save them.
It is not difficult for a monk to temporarily change his appearance.
Daoist Wan, aren't you right? "
Leng Zhuxin's words caused Wan Yu to think deeply. Even though there was a suspicion that her words were just empty promises to Wan Yu, they undoubtedly touched Wan Yu's heart.
It also allowed Wan Yu to see a different path.
He used to think his hobby was perverted, and he was always afraid that he would become an evil cultivator and bring shame to his father and the Wandao Sect. He didn't dare let anyone know about his hobby. He didn't know what the purpose of his hobby was, and he just did it subconsciously out of curiosity.
But Leng Zhuxin's words today reminded him that perhaps he was just walking his own path.
Wan Yu did not trust those Qingxuan Sect monks, nor did he have much trust in Leng Zhuxin, whom he had just met. But just because Leng Zhuxin could say what he had just said and because Leng Zhuxin had no prejudice about it, he was willing to trust Leng Zhuxin once.
To remove the salt worms from these women, only surgery is required on the arms, and no opening of the abdomen is required. If he trusted the wrong person, I believe his father would be able to save him.
However, Wan Yu still had some concerns and worries in his heart. Leng Zhuxin had said that the tendons and bones should be avoided when cutting. He had never tried it on a cultivator and had no experience at all, so he could not guarantee that there would be no problems.
