Chapter 251 Past
As soon as Li Sanniang said these words, not to mention Dr. Liang was choked for a moment, even Father Li himself felt that Li Sanniang’s words were a bit unkind.
“Sanniang, please don’t be rude.”
Dr. Liang said: “Doctor Li doesn’t need to scold Sanniang. I really don’t know how to say this well, so I keep saying no. Come out."
Standing behind Dr. Liang, Shao Yang slightly stared at the master who had been feeling a little weird since yesterday, thinking to himself, what's going on? What is the purpose of suddenly visiting the Li family?
After hearing this, Father Li and the others had some clues in their minds.
After all, Dr. Liang, who came to visit in the evening, kept talking back and forth about Li Sanniang’s apprenticeship and Li’s father’s apprenticeship.
If it was no longer clear that this was about the Poison King, Father Li and the others would really be pretending to be stupid.
Then, with a bit of sadness, Dr. Liang told a story in the main hall of the Li family.
It turns out that Dr. Liang’s ancestor was an imperial physician during the reign of Emperor Gaozong (Li Zhi). He had three disciples in his life. The eldest disciple was Dr. Liang’s master. The second disciple had a bad fate and was young. At that time, he died in a palace secret, but that young disciple was courageous.
The young disciple was a homeless beggar on the street. After being taken in by his master, he was left directly to the second disciple to take care of him.
So the junior disciple and the second disciple, who are more than ten years apart, have a very close relationship.
After the death of the second disciple, the younger disciple has been secretly investigating who framed the second disciple. Then he made a sophisticated plan and poisoned five or six officials who were involved in unjustly accusing the second disciple.
It is highly poisonous. It does not seal the throat at the sight of blood, but lingers on the sick bed. After suffering all the pain, it still cannot be treated until it dies in pain.
Because when the body of the second disciple was returned, although it was changed into clean clothes, there was not a single piece of good skin left on the body under the clothes.
The young disciple committed such a disaster. It was exposed after these people were poisoned. The Guards naturally wanted to arrest them. Then the young disciple escaped from Chang'an City overnight without even sending a message to the master. Zu and senior brother stayed behind.
After the second disciple died and the younger disciple poisoned, killed and defected, the master only survived for a few years before he passed away due to depression in his heart and loss of the will to live.
Dr. Liang’s master (eldest disciple) resigned and left the court. Later in the reign of Emperor Gaozong, Dr. Liang started from the grassroots level and worked his way up to the position of official of the Imperial Medical Office.
But among them, Dr. Liang did not forget to track down his uncle who rebelled and ran away.
Unexpectedly, after decades, there has been no news at all.
But now, after reading the antidote prescribed by Li's father to Fang Chengxian, I found some clues.
Yes, Dr. Liang suspected that Poison King was his junior uncle.
Therefore, Dr. Liang asked Fang Cheng to help him make the connection first. He posted a message and brought heavy gifts and a close disciple to visit. In fact, he wanted to find out whether the disciple of the Li family was his own junior master. Uncle.
After listening to Dr. Liang’s story, the Li family looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Li Sanniang heard that this was related to the poison technique she was still learning, and she didn't know what to do.
Should he admit this and return the Poison Medicine Book of Poison King of Hell?
Or are you pretending to be blind, just not admitting it, insisting that you don’t know?
Brother Li and Li Sanniang looked at each other and felt that this kind of matter, involving the grievances and grievances of the previous generation, should not be the responsibility of younger generations like them, so they both kept silent. .
Father Li was sitting at the table, frowning. He really didn’t expect that almost twenty years had passed, and because of his habit of making prescriptions, people would find this clue by chance. Come to your door.
Father Li feels that since he inherited the inheritance from the Poison King, although he does not agree with using poison to harm people, after all, he was taught by the Poison King, and it was Li's father who buried his body and set up a monument. , I visit my grave every year on my death anniversary.
You must know that medicine and poison are not separated. It only depends on whether you can enlighten yourself and whether you can delve into it. The Poison King didn't teach Li's father the poison technique, but he taught him medical skills. In the end, he wrote down the poison technique that he was proud of and gave it to Li's father.
The poison technique booklet is still in Li Sanniang’s hand.
Facing Dr. Liang’s probing gaze, Father Li felt that he should tell others, but he was afraid that he would cause trouble for his family.
It can only be said that the chance to save the Queen of Hell had already predicted that someone would come to her door today.
Everything has a cause and an effect.
Li's father said to Li Sanniang: "Sanniang, go and take out that booklet."
Li Sanniang understood that Li's father wanted to tell the truth. After all, although the Poison King is an unscrupulous person, Why did Dr. Liang not give up searching for him for decades? Then he should give him an explanation.
When Li Sanniang went back to the house to get the poison technique book, Li's father whispered word by word about his family's relationship with the Poison King, and how Li's father became the heir to the Poison King.
“That’s it. I listened to my master and buried it directly in the mountain. I then carried the stone tablet on my back and erected it.
The master never told me anything about his previous life, and he never told me his name. In addition to teaching me medical skills, he only left the book on poison techniques. "
Li Sanniang handed over the booklet, but Dr. Liang did not accept it.
Li Sanniang turned to look at Father Li. Father Li nodded, and Li Sanniang placed the booklet with Dr. Liang. On the small table on the side.
In the middle of the night, there was only the sound of oil lamps frying flowers. Dr. Liang didn't look at the brochure or the Li family. He just looked down at the ground, not knowing what he was thinking.
Father Li and the others don’t know what to say. How can they comfort this man who cannot be resurrected?
Not to mention, this happened more than 20 years ago. How to describe the past grudges and hatreds?
A moment later, when Li Sanniang couldn't help but speak, Dr. Liang said: "After the death of the master, my master always felt that he, the senior brother, did not do well, so let the junior master In order to avenge Second Master Uncle, I risked my life to poison him, and ended up defecting to Chang'an. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead when he was hunted down.
My master didn't care. The second uncle was unjustly accused and died, but he didn't want to use such drastic means to take revenge.
When he was dying in his later years, he kept talking about how smart the younger uncle was, how he had a photographic memory, and he could understand everything once he was taught. If you follow the right path, you may not be able to become a master of medicine like your master.
My master doesn't think that my uncle is not good at using poison. Since ancient times, medicine and poison have not been separated. It just depends on how to use it. .”
Old doctor Liang raised his head, looked at Father Li and said: "Since my junior uncle has chosen Dr. Li as his successor, he is now a senior brother in our sect.
When my master was still alive, he first used golden needles. The technique was taught to my master, and my uncle learned the exquisite prescription. My master always wanted to teach his uncle the golden needle technique, but because of the incident with his second uncle, he never had the chance.”
Old doctor Liang pushed aside the poison technique booklet that Li Sanniang had just put down on the table, and then continued: "This poison technique was not taught by the master, it should have been figured out by the young uncle himself.
Since the little master passed it on to you, it belongs to you.”
After saying this, the old doctor Liang looked at Li Sanniang and said: “But before my master passed away, he always thought about not teaching the little one. If Master Li Sanniang wants to learn the golden needle technique, I can teach it here.”
Sanniang is her own biological child, so she must be given a golden finger!
