Zhou Shengwu was shocked when he heard the words ‘Soul Devouring Witchcraft’. His face turned ashen and he could not help but say angrily, “That brat actually didn’t tell me about this!”
If he had told Zhou Shengwu directly that the person they wanted to save was poisoned by the Soul Devouring Witchcraft, Zhou Shengwu would definitely have rejected them immediately and hide far away. If it was an ordinary witchcraft poison, he could still think of a way. The key was this was one of the ten great vicious witchcraft poisons. Not to mention finding a solution, even if he did not care about his life and insisted on solving this matter, it would easily backfire on him.
He looked at Han Xing bitterly and said, “I’ll bring you down the mountain first.”
Hearing this, Shangguan Xuelan, who was standing behind Han Xing, panicked. She said, “Grandpa Zhou, the patient’s condition can’t be delayed for too long.”
“I understand.” Zhou Shengwu’s face was filled with helplessness, but he still ordered, “Let’s go down the mountain first.”
At this moment, a rustling sound came from the place where they had just been. Shangguan Xuelan turned her head to take a look, and her expression instantly turned extremely ugly. A group of mosquitoes appeared out of nowhere and were about to bite the white worms.
The white worms seemed to have sensed the danger. They kept moving, and countless long and thin limbs trembled in the air. At first glance, one would really think that these special flowers were fluttering in the wind.
The strange scene almost made Shangguan Xuelan vomit. Every time these worms absorbed the mosquitoes around them, they would grow stronger. She did not expect that the mystic meridian herbs were actually transformed from these things.
“Han Xing, hurry up and leave. I’m going to vomit if I keep watching this. I’m afraid that the flowers and plants below are made of some inexplicable thing.”
When Zhou Shengwu heard Shangguan Xuelan’s words, he snorted coldly, “Who told you to run around? When other foreigners came, they didn’t even dare to walk around casually. Yet, you still came to this mountain. Every year, countless people go missing on this mountain. How many lives do you have?” Han Xing frowned slightly. Could there be some secret in this mountain? However, when he thought about the scene he had just seen, it was indeed disgusting.
When the three of them returned to Zhou Shengwu’s small courtyard, Zhou Shengwu even went to brew tea for the two of them. The tea was crystal clear and smelled like the fragrance of flowers. Shangguan Xuelan held the tea and hesitated.
“Grandpa Zhou, I don’t mean anything else. 1 just want to ask if there’s anything wrong with this tea…?”
Zhou Shengwu shook his head and replied, “Don’t worry. I personally picked these tea leaves. After drinking it, you will feel refreshed and your eyes will be clear. It will help to suppress the coldness in your bodies.”
Shangguan Xuelan slowly finished her cup of tea after hearing his words. Han Xing didn’t move. He asked respectfully, “Mr. Zhou, is there no way to deal with this Soul Devouring Witchcraft?”
“You don’t understand the danger of this witchcraft poison.” Zhou Shengwu sighed, “It’s said that the Ten Venomous Worms of Miaojiang can kill people invisibly and live as long as the world. I’ve studied these witchcraft poisons for so many years, but I only know four of the ten great venomous witchcraft poisons. 1 haven’t found any information about the remaining six.”
“This Soul Devouring Witchcraft is one of the things 1 know. Han Xing, 1 have to ask you, is your family treating your sister well?”
Han Xing didn’t know why he would ask that. He nodded and said, “She has been the apple of my parents’ eyes since she was young, and they have never said any ill-meaning words to her.”
“It’s just that…” His gaze dimmed as he continued, “She has had this illness since she was young, but it has become more and more serious in recent years. At first, I thought it was something like leukemia.” After Han Xing finished speaking, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and his eyes were filled with shock.
Zhou Shengwu nodded solemnly and replied, “That’s right. The Soul Devouring Witchcraft worms usually choose to attack young children. When it finally acts up, it is very difficult to find the cause. Moreover, modern people do not pay much attention to the poison, so they are no longer aware of these evil methods.”
Han Xing clenched his fists tightly and calmed down. Then, he heard Zhou Shengwu say, “You still have to ask your family about this. Have you offended any enemies? The probability of an acquaintance doing this is also very high.”
Han Xing’s parents had passed away in an accident long ago. It would be extremely difficult to investigate them now. Han Xing thought to himself that his parents had passed away in an accident, the Han family had gone bankrupt, and finally, his sister had died of an illness. All of this seemed to have been a trap set up for the Han family a long time ago.
The more Han Xing thought about it, the more shocked he became. He nodded and said, “I’ll investigate this matter. However, my sister doesn’t have much time left. If there’s no way to relieve her condition, she might not be able to last this month. Please point me in the right direction, Old Master Zhou.” “Sigh!” Zhou Shengwu sighed heavily, “This is all God’s will!”
Shangguan Xuelan did not know why he said that. Just as she was about to ask, Zhou Shengwu stood up and looked at Han Xing. He said, “Follow me, I’ll take you to see someone.”
“I believe he should have a way to solve your current problem.”
“Really?” Shangguan Xuelan jumped to her feet. She was even more excited than Han Xing. She said, “Let’s go, then. 1 want to see the doctor who can cure the witchcraft poison.”
She really didn’t know much about witchcraft poison. Now that she could increase her knowledge, she had to go no matter what. Zhou Shengwu had no choice but to bring her along.
Zhou Shengwu led them to a small path that extended from his courtyard. The roads here were rarely built. Most of the roads were paved with stones by the villagers. They could not see such scenery in the city, but it had a unique charm.
After walking for two to three kilometers, they saw a strange little house. The house was built very strangely. The top was made of straw, but the bottom was made of marble. In front of the house, there were two stone lamps carved with exquisite carvings.
Zhou Shengwu didn’t go in directly. Instead, he knocked on a small wooden frame beside the small house.
Knock, knock, knock!
The sound of knocking on the wooden frame echoed in the surrounding rooms, and soon, there was a sound. With a creak, the wooden door was opened, and an old man with lupus and sparse hair walked out. His eyes were cloudy, his pupils were white, and his expression was rare and kind.
“Mr. Zhou, you’ve brought guests with you.”
“Yes, he’s here.” Zhou Shengwu replied, “Han Xing, this is our little immortal from Stone Village. You may call him Immortal Mo.”
“It’s fine, it’s fine. I can’t bear this title. My surname is Mo, you can just call me Blind Mo.” Blind Mo had long since gotten used to the structure of the courtyard, so he let everyone sit in the pavilion and wait for him. Shangguan Xuelan had not expected that the person who could cure the witchcraft poison was actually a blind man. As expected, experts were among the common people!
Just as she was sighing with enlightenment, Blind Mo walked over. He sat on a stool and looked at Han Xing.
“You’re back again..”
