Top Picks.
“Your Majesty, let me take a look at your pulse first.”
Cang Wan Gul’s facial expression gave Yun Che a rather frightening premonition in his heart, but he did not dare to make a decision. He took a few steps forward and arrived in front of Cang Wangui, his right hand and both fingers pointing on top of his pulse before closing his eyes.
Lan Xue Ruo immediately held his breath, Cang Wan Gu also did not speak again, some cloudy eyes silently surveyed this daughter’s chosen man. But in his heart, he didn’t expect him to be of any help to his condition at all, he might be able to have superb medical skills, but after all, he was too young. This thing called medical skill was not something that could be learned, but required years of accumulation and precipitation.
Yun Che didn’t try this pulse test for too long, after a dozen or so breaths, he said in a low voice, “Your Majesty, next I will use my Xuan Force to travel through your internal organs, please don’t resist.”
“Good, just feel free to exert yourself. As I said, you are the person Yue’er brought with her, I absolutely trust you.” Cang Wan Gully nodded his head.
“How was it?” Lan Xueruo hurriedly asked. Although Yun Che’s probing time added up to less than a minute, in anyone’s opinion, what could a seventeen year old boy be able to see with such a short probing time for a “disease” that even Gu Qiu Hong could not do anything about. However, a young girl whose heart belongs to her own man will always have a kind of blind trust, and Lan Xue Ruo, who is the Princess of Cang Yue, can’t get rid of this kind of girl’s mentality as well.
Yun Che was silent for a while and asked, ”Your Majesty, is there a scar that is not too long at the location of your chest? If so, was it left about three years ago?”
Cang Wangui thought slightly before nodding his head, his eyes showing surprise: “That’s right, there is indeed a scar left on my chest, an inch long, and it was also indeed left three years ago……. How did you know that I have this scar on my body?”
Seeing Cang Wan Gully nod his head, Yun Che’s face instantly became somewhat ugly.
Yun Che’s expression caused Lan Xueruo to instantly become uneasy and nervously asked, “Senior Brother Yun, how exactly is my father’s condition? Did you see something?”
“Hoo……” Yun Che let out a long breath, and said with a heavy face, “What the Emperor has, indeed, is not a disease, nor is it poisoning, but, also, it is not at all the damage to his lifeblood that that Gu Qiu Hong said was caused …… Rather, it’s, it’s been parasitized!”
“Ah? Compulsion?” Blue Xue Ruo’s fragrant lips were wide open, her face full of surprise.
“Oh? Why would you have this judgment?” Cang Wan Gully, however, was bland. Obviously, he didn’t believe Yun Che’s words, and it wasn’t because he didn’t trust Yun Che, but he trusted Gu Qiu Hong more. For these three years, his body had remained stable under Gu Qiu Hong’s healing. Moreover, one was the First Divine Doctor who was famous in Cangfeng, and the other was a teenager who was only seventeen years old, it was impossible for anyone to choose to believe in the words of a teenager while questioning the First Divine Doctor who had a hundred years of holy fame.
Yun Che frowned and said, ”This kind of compulsion is called the ‘Soul Devouring Same Life Compulsion’, and it is planted into the human body in the form of a compulsion seed, and it grows by the blood of a person’s heart. After it grows up, it resides near a person’s heart chakra and feeds on the person’s vital energy. This kind of compulsion is very small, but the Yuan Qi required for growth is incomparably large, and almost half of the host’s Yuan Qi will be devoured by it. The reason why His Majesty’s body has been incomparably weak and aging extremely rapidly these past few years is because a full half of your Yuan Qi has been devoured by this ‘Soul Devouring Same Life Compulsion’.”
Cang Wan Gu’s expression remained calm, he slightly revealed a trace of doubt, saying, “If it is really as you say, my body has been planted with such a powerful compulsion, it is impossible that Gu Qiuhong, whose medical skills are unrivaled in the past and present, could not possibly not discover it. If you say that it is not possible to find it in one diagnosis, then it is still possible to say that in these three years, Gu Qiu Hong has diagnosed me dozens of times, and it is definitely not possible to find it every time. Yun Che, could it be that something is wrong?”
“No!” Yun Che shook his head without hesitation, “Absolutely not. I know that Your Majesty definitely doesn’t believe it, so please give me a chance to prove it by asking Your Majesty to …… allow me to cut open that scar on your chest, and I will make that parasitic parasitic compulsion, appear in front of Your Majesty’s eyes.”
Cang Wan Gu instantly frowned. How honorable was his emperor’s body, how could he be slashed open by a tiny teenager just like that. Before he could speak, Lan Xueruo had already spoken, “Father, I believe in Master Yun’s words, and even more so, I believe in his character, it is absolutely impossible for him to do anything to harm Father. Father’s condition has never turned around, even Grandmaster Gu can’t do anything about it, so even if Master Yun can’t bring about a turnaround, he at least won’t do any harm.”
Yun Che nodded, no longer speaking, he pulled open the clothes on Cang Wan Gulch’s chest, in the position of his heart, it was true that he had arrived at a one-inch long scar, a long time had passed, and this scar had become shallow, but it was enough to be seen clearly.
Yun Che stretched out his finger, Xuan Force surged up to his fingertip, and just as he was about to stroke towards Cang Wan Gulch’s heart, his movements slightly stalled, because in that instant just now, he felt that a Xuan Force field had firmly locked onto him. This Xuan Force Field was well concealed, and it was absolutely difficult for ordinary people to discover, but Yun Che’s perception was so sharp, and he could sense that this Xuan Force Field had an incomparably terrifying underbelly, and its strength was at least at the Heavenly Xuan Realm!
After a brief moment of surprise, Yun Che immediately calmed down. How could there not be a guardian of a supreme expert beside an emperor? However, it wasn’t like he was trying to harm this emperor, so it didn’t matter if he was scrupulous. At that moment, his finger gently slashed at Cang Wan Gulch’s chest, cutting that one inch long scar directly open, and drops of blood quickly flowed out. Yun Che’s other hand quickly pressed on the upper part of the wound, and the Phoenix Inferno Force carefully surged in, instantly finding the hiding place of the “Soul Devouring Same Life Compass”.
The parasites were naturally afraid of fire, and the phoenix’s inflammation was the king of inflammation. The frightened “Soul Devouring Companion” immediately fled in the opposite direction of where the Phoenix’s Flame was located, and was led towards the location of the wound by Yun Che little by little.
“It’s coming out.” Yun Che opened his eyes and said in a low voice.
As his words fell, the wound in Cang Wan Gulch’s heart suddenly burst into an abnormal writhing, and with that, a half-inch long, slender parasite with a golden color all over its body poked out half of its body from the wound, and struggled violently.
“Ah!!!”
Lan Xueruo let out a shriek of shock and lost her color. Even Cang Wanchu, who was an emperor, was filled with horror and his entire body froze and stopped ……
“Don’t move!!!” Yun Che let out a loud roar, stopping all possible movements of Lan Xue Ruo Cang Wan Gully, as well as that person in the dark, his left hand quickly raised, using the Phoenix Flame to quickly force this golden-colored compulsion back into Cang Wan Gully’s bloodstream, and then Xuan Force was released to seal Cang Wan Gully’s wounds, stopping the outflow of blood.
“I …… actually have something like this in my body!” Cang Wan Yu looked like he had calmed down, but the stiffness of his entire body highlighted that he was still in shock.
“Master Yun …… why didn’t you get that …… that compulsion out just now, but instead let it go back into Father’s body again? Obviously …… it had already been lured out by you.” Lan Xueruo’s small face was pale, young girls had an innate fear of this foreign insect, not to mention that it still existed within Cang Wan Gu’s body.
Yun Che shook his head and said, “It’s not that I don’t want to get it out, but I simply can’t. If this was any other kind of compulsion, even if it was even more terrifying, as long as we find out where it is, we can find a way to draw it out or directly exterminate it. But this kind of compulsion …… it’s called ‘Soul Devouring Same Life Compulsion’ because it not only devours a large amount of the host’s vital energy, but also, after it was born from the compulsion seed form drinking the host’s heart and blood, it takes the host’s lifeline as its own lifeline, and lives with the host in the same life. That is to say, the Emperor’s body of this soul-devouring same life compulsion, and the Emperor share a life! If the Emperor dies, it will die. Conversely, if it dies, the Emperor will also die!”
“Ah!!!” Lan Xue Ruo’s beautiful eyes widened as they trembled dramatically.
“Sh…… what? In this world, there’s even this kind of insidious thing!” Cang Wan Gully also had a look of trepidation on his face.
Yun Che continued, “And it needs to suck the Emperor’s vital energy to survive, once it detaches from the Emperor’s body, it will immediately perish, and it will only have one host in its entire life, even if it moves into another host immediately after it leaves the body, it will not help. Therefore, instead of being able to be removed from the Emperor’s body, this Soul Devouring Same Life Compass has to be properly ‘provided for’, and can only be helplessly allowed to devour the body’s vital energy from time to time, and must not be allowed to die.”
Yun Che paused, his voice heavy as he said, “Senior Sister Xue Ruo, Your Majesty, the next words will be a bit brutal …… The lifespan of all the parasites are not too long. According to what I’ve been told, the lifespan of the Soul Devouring Same Life Compulsion is five years. And the time it has been in the Emperor’s body has already exceeded three years. After two more years, this Soul Devouring Same Life Compass will die, which means that …… the Emperor’s lifespan is only two years at most.”
“How could this be …… how could this be ……” Lan Xueluo covered her lips, already sobbing uncontrollably.
Cang Wan Gulch was panting heavily, that compulsion hidden within his body, as well as Yun Che’s words, had undoubtedly caused his mind to be completely disorganized, and there was even panic. He lowered his voice and said, ”Just who …… is it who actually gave me this insidious compulsion! I must find him out …… and break him into pieces!!!”
Yun Che eyed Cang Wan Yu and said, “If Your Majesty wants to know who placed the parasites, you can actually find out right away.”
Cang Wan Gully’s body shook and immediately said, “Yun Che, could it be that you know the person who placed the parasites?”
“I don’t really know, but His Majesty must know.” Yun Che calmly said, “This ‘Soul Devouring Same Life Compulsion’ can only be planted into a person’s body in the form of a compulsion seed, and it must be immersed in the host’s heart’s blood in order to grow. A person’s heart blood exists in the area of his heart. Therefore, in order to plant this compulsion in a person’s body, a wound must be made in his heart and mouth area, and the compulsion seed must be placed directly into his body through the wound. A compulsion that enters the body through eating and drinking will not grow at all, and the same is true for those planted through blood in other parts of the body. Your Majesty only needs to remember who made that wound in your heart three years ago to know who placed the parasites.”
The moment these words from Yun Che came out, Cang Wan Gul and Lan Xueruo all froze in place.
“No …… no way! It can’t be Master Gu who placed the parasites, Master Gu has been attentively healing my father for all these years, and his relationship with my royal family has been even better …… It can’t be him! He also has no reason at all to harm my Father Emperor.” Lan Xue Ruo was filled with horror …… The person who had cut that wound in her Father Emperor’s heart three years ago she knew was the Healing Saint Gu Qiu Hong. On that occasion, it was Cang Wan Gu who had contracted a heavy wind chill, and Gu Qiu Hong claimed that the wind chill was too heavy and that he needed to release some cold blood from his heart ……
But she grew up with deep respect admiration and gratitude for this medical saint, and for a moment simply could not connect him with a vicious parasitizer.R1058
