"Don't panic. Elder Wu and I don't know each other, so why would I harm him? Furthermore … given Elder Wu's current condition, why would I harm him? "
Wang Chong clasped his hands behind his back, a smile on his lips as he swiftly retreated.
"There's no need for you to interfere in the affairs of our Wushang Village. Speak! Just what kind of medicine did you give the elder? "
Before the other elders could speak, one of the protectors of Wushang Village couldn't help but bellow angrily. His hands were clenched into fists, trembling slightly. It was clear that he was on the verge of losing control.
Although the village had warned them time and time again that the other party was a marquis of the imperial court and they couldn't act recklessly … But this time and time again, it was really too much.
"If anything happens to the elder, don't blame us for being impolite!"
Another protector said angrily.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to him."
Wang Chong said indifferently, his expression carefree. Even when facing the enraged Chief Of Wushang, he was still calm and composed. However, his slightly trembling fingers, which had his back facing the crowd, revealed the true fluctuations in his heart.
Something was wrong. Wang Chong clearly remembered that Wu Jiumei had only been injured in this incident. But now, Wu Jiumei's breathing was weak, and blood was flowing from the corners of his eyes and mouth. Moreover, it was black blood. This was a very bad sign.
No matter what, this was not as simple as a serious injury. In the worst case scenario, he might die.
"I hope that pill will work as usual!"
This thought flashed through Wang Chong's mind, and he felt a little worried.
He could sense that the events in Wushang Village seemed to be a little different from his previous life. Wu Jiumei had only been seriously injured at first, but if things went wrong, he might even die in this incident.
Things had already changed, and there were many things that he couldn't be sure of anymore.
"Ah!"
Just as he was feeling a little uneasy, an old and drawn-out voice suddenly rang out in the stone house. Hearing this voice, everyone's body trembled violently. One by one, they looked toward the stone bed.
On the stone bed, Elder Wu Jiumei's eyes had turned white and black blood flowed from the corners of his mouth and eyes, accompanied by white froth. Suddenly, the whites of his eyes slid down, revealing his slightly murky but pitch-black pupils.
As he let out a long sigh, his original black iron-like skin faded away like a receding tide. First the face, then the neck and arms, then the entire torso and feet. A crimson color gradually emerged from Wu Jiumei's body.
Not only that, Wu Jiumei's eyes swiveled, quickly noticing the Wushang Village Protectors and Elders not far from the bed.
"Chongli! Yunwen! "
Wu Jiumei called out the names of several elders. Although his voice was faint, it was extremely clear.
"Elder!"
In the room, a few villagers who were serving at the side, serving water and towels were overjoyed. They were the first to pounce on the stone bed.
"That's great! The elder is awake! The elder had woken up! — — "
A few moments later, Wu Jiumei rubbed his head and slowly sat up on the bed before everyone's shocked gazes.
“！！！”
Shock!
Incomparable shock!
As they looked at Wu Jiumei, who acted as if nothing had happened, they turned to Wang Chong at the door, the shock in their eyes indescribable. In particular, the Protectors who were filled with hostility toward Wang Chong had complicated expressions on their faces.
"Impossible! There can't be any medicine that can be so powerful! "
The elder Wu Jiumei called 'Yunwen' suddenly strode over and grabbed Wu Jiumei's arm, which was hanging by the side of the stone bed. Wu Jiumei's pulse was very stable and was gradually recovering, beating faster and faster, becoming more and more stable.
Not only had it completely recovered, but it was also much calmer than Wu Jiumei's pulse had ever been.
The elder Wu Jiumei called 'Yunwen' abruptly turned his head to look at Wang Chong at the door, shock, astonishment, and an indescribable excitement in his eyes.
Wang Chong only smiled and said nothing.
"Brother Jiu, how do you feel? How do your shoulders, neck, right leg, back, and organs feel? Does it hurt? "
Elder He Yunwen quickly turned around and tightly grasped Wu Jiumei's hand as he asked anxiously.
"Very good, it doesn't hurt. What's wrong …"
Wu Jiumei slowly moved his body as he asked in confusion. At first, he didn't understand why He Yunwen was asking this, but when he subconsciously said these words, he immediately sensed something and froze, his face full of astonishment.
In an instant, the room fell into a deathly silence. Countless pairs of eyes looked in the same direction, and they were all extremely excited.
"Impossible. Although the people of Wushang Village are powerful, every one of us will feel a dull pain from the age of three. At the end of every month, or when the stars dim and the yin energy in the world is at its densest, the pain will flare up and our bodies will twitch. Many people don't even live past fifty before they die. The village once invited an arcane master who said it was a problem with the fengshui of the village. "
"Elder Wu is already seventy or eighty years old. His condition is more serious than anyone else in the village, how could he suddenly recover?"
Someone in the stone house muttered to himself, voicing the thoughts of everyone present.
Those who arrived at Wushang Village for the first time would only marvel at the great strength the Wushang people had trained in the mountains and precipitous ridges, but few knew the price of this strength. Every person in Wushang had to endure a kind of internal pain from the moment they were born. As they grew older, the pain would only grow more and more severe.
Generation after generation, batch after batch, no one had ever been spared.
The reason why Elder Wu's pain flared up so fiercely, even causing black blood to flow from the corner of his mouth, was related to his age and this kind of injury. In that instant just now, many people had thought he was going to die. But no one had imagined that he would actually recover in such a short time. Not only did he recover, even his messy pulse had calmed down.
Elder Wu's injuries couldn't have healed for no reason at all. It could only be because of the pill Wang Chong had fed him!
Shock, astonishment, disbelief, as well as deep excitement and desire … In that instant, all kinds of emotions flashed across the faces of everyone in the room. If Wang Chong's pill could be effective on someone of Elder Wu's age, then didn't that mean that the pill would be effective on everyone?
At this moment, even the enmity in the hearts of Wushang Village towards Wang Chong melted like ice. They looked towards Wang Chong as if he was their savior.
"Marquis … if you don't mind, can you tell me what pill you fed Elder Wu?"
He Yunwen asked, forcefully suppressing the excitement in his heart.
Wang Chong only smiled and didn't say much. He loosened his fingers and handed over the other pill.
Wang Chong's painstaking efforts hadn't been in vain. He could clearly feel that the attitude of the Wushang Villagers towards him had undergone an earth-shattering change, and all of this was because of the pill he had brought.
Slap!
Before He Yunwen could take the pill, a hand suddenly reached out and slapped the pill in Wang Chong's palm onto the ground.
"Elder, are you crazy? He's an outsider, how could he be so kind? How could he know how to cure the hidden illness of our Wushang Villagers? This is a problem that the Wushang Villagers haven't been able to solve for hundreds of years. How could an outsider solve it? This must be a coincidence. It must be because Elder had swallowed a large amount of wujian grass. The medicinal properties of the wujian grass had accumulated over the years and erupted at this time, curing Elder Wu's illness. "
A burly man in his thirties from Wushang Village with a bright red scar on his left cheek suddenly shouted. His eyes were filled with malice as he stared at Wang Chong. It seemed that his hostility towards Wang Chong was deeper than anyone else's.
"It's him."
Wang Chong didn't pay much attention at first, but when he saw the bright red scar on his left cheek, his heart stirred, and he suddenly remembered. Previously, when he was fighting with Qin Qicheng, there was a Wushang Villager who was more ferocious and radical than anyone else. Even Qin Qicheng had a hard time controlling him.
When Wang Chong had sent him flying, one of the rocks had slashed across his cheek, leaving a bloody scar. However, that person's gaze towards him had become even more ferocious, so Wang Chong had a deep impression of him and remembered it clearly.
"It seems that he's harboring a grudge because of that matter."
Wang Chong understood.
"I've said what I needed to say and done what I needed to do. Since you don't believe me, then so be it. I just don't know if everyone will be like Elder Wu tonight, able to rely on the wujian grass that has accumulated in their bodies over the years to recover without any treatment. "
As Wang Chong spoke, he turned and listened for a moment, then turned and left.
Outside the stone house, screams rose and fell, growing more and more frequent. This night of the lunar eclipse was destined to be a sleepless night for Wushang Village.
"Wait!"
Just as Wang Chong was about to leave, Elder Wu Jiumei heard the screams ringing in his ears and grimaced. He hurriedly extended a hand and called out to Wang Chong to stop.
But at this moment, another unexpected thing happened.
Thump!
Not far from the stone bed, the middle-aged man from Wushang Village, who had been loudly berating Wang Chong and had a bright red scar on his left cheek, suddenly fell to the ground without any warning.
His teeth were tightly clenched, his face deathly pale, and he lay motionless on the ground.
"Wanshi, Wanshi … what's wrong?"
This time, everyone was shocked, and they all rushed forward, squatting down and gathering around him.
"Not good, his hidden illness is acting up!"
"His condition is very serious, his entire body is convulsing."
"Get a towel and separate his teeth, don't let him bite his tongue."
"Elder, his pulse is growing weaker and weaker, and his body temperature is rapidly dropping. If this continues, I'm afraid …"
… …
Things had happened too quickly, and everyone was in a state of panic. He Wanshi had fallen too quickly, too abruptly, and his illness was acting up too quickly. In just a few moments, his body had rapidly turned cold, and that black iron blue color was rapidly spreading over his entire body.
This was not a situation that was unfamiliar to everyone. This was the sign of a chronic illness of all the Wushang villagers, and it was the most serious condition. Every Wushang villager would show these signs before they died.
