Chapter 599 Chang Feng's Request
Wuyou said that a disciple in the sect wanted to meet Gu Zheng, which made Gu Zheng feel something in his heart and found that the disciple following him turned out to be Chang Feng.
"Come in!" Gu Zheng said.
Although Gu Zheng and Chang Feng are old friends, and Chang Feng is a disciple of the Emei Sect, Gu Zheng doesn't have many opportunities to meet him. This is firstly because Gu Zheng spends little time in the sect, and secondly This is because Chang Feng is just an ordinary disciple, not even a core disciple, and once Gu Zheng returns to the sect, usually only the senior members of the sect will meet and communicate.
Chang Feng is now at the late second level of cultivation, which is already a very fast progress for a disciple who has just started.
In addition to Chang Feng's own efforts, his relationship with Gu Zheng also played an indispensable role in being able to reach the late second-level cultivation level in a relatively short period of time. The higher-ups in the sect knew that Chang Feng was a friend of Gu Zheng in the secular world, so they took good care of him.
"I've met the leader!"
As soon as Chang Feng entered the door, he bowed politely to Gu Zheng.
In the past, Chang Feng could treat Gu Zheng as a friend, but now he no longer dares. The more he comes into contact with the world of cultivation, the clearer he becomes about what kind of talents stand at the top in this world, and his former friend Gu Zheng , is undoubtedly such a person.
"Elder Wuyou, please go out first!"
Seeing Chang Feng's respect, Gu Zheng asked Wuyou to go down first.
There was no one else in the room. Gu Zheng deliberately sat down on the chair lazily, trying to give Chang Feng a relaxing atmosphere. After all, he had lost a lot of things as an immortal cultivator, and there were some things he still cared about that he naturally didn't care about. Hope it changes.
"Sit down, Chang Feng. It's just the two of us here. Don't be too formal." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Thank you, Master!"
Gu Zheng's attitude made Chang Feng significantly less nervous, but the habit he had developed was difficult to change, and he still called Gu Zheng the leader.
"how are things?"
Regarding Chang Feng's title, Gu Zheng didn't want to correct him, so he started chatting with him.
After some small talk, Chang Feng became more relaxed. At this time, Gu Zheng also asked him what he wanted to do here.
Chang Feng came here to beg Gu Zheng for help. Unfortunately, his aunt was infected with 'Bianhua', and he wanted Gu Zheng to treat her. The so-called "spotted flower" is the plague that is currently prevalent outside, and it is also the legacy left by the old voodoo demon.
Chang Feng had just learned about the news that his aunt was infected with 'Bianhua'. After all, the Emei Sect was closed in the Immortal Formation of Guarding the Mountain, and it was inconvenient to communicate with the outside world.
Chang Feng didn't know that Gu Zheng was out of seclusion today. He originally went to rub his face against Wu worry, but Wu worry couldn't do anything about 'Bianhua', so he told him that Gu Zheng had been out of seclusion and asked him to go find Gu Zheng. Just take action yourself.
Gu Zheng naturally agreed to Chang Feng's request. He had originally planned to go out to stop the plague. And some understanding he got from Wuyou also let him know that this matter would not be too difficult for him.
When 'Spotted Flower' infects a person, the initial symptoms are very similar to a cold, including fever, headache, and weakness in the limbs. Three to six days after infection, symptoms escalate to lethargy. A rash first appears on the face seven to nine days after infection. Ten to thirteen days after infection, the rash develops into flower-like ulcers. The patient's spirit will be unprecedentedly high during these days, as if he is returning to the light. After sixteen days of infection, almost no one can survive.
According to the time, the outside world divides the infection into five corresponding stages. Chang Feng's aunt is already in the fourth stage, with flower-like ulcers on her face and body.
Saving people is like putting out fires, not to mention that she is Chang Feng's aunt, so Gu Zhengdang took Chang Feng out of the mountain.
After leaving the mountain guard formation, Gu Zheng immediately pulled Chang Feng and flew up.
Even though he was already in the world of cultivators, Chang Feng was still frightened and screamed after being taken flying.
However, after adapting to high-altitude flying, Chang Feng suddenly felt very fresh and asked Gu Zheng endlessly about questions about flying. For example, will it hit a plane, or will it be seen by others, detected by the authorities, etc.
When faced with Chang Feng's silly questions, Gu Zheng's answer is often just "That's nothing."
During the flight, Chang Feng called his family and told them that he had asked De Gu Zheng to come out. Gu Zheng also clearly heard the excited voices of Chang Feng's brother Chang Le and his grandfather Liang Lao on the other end of the phone.
Although Mr. Liang has a great background, this background only plays a role in the secular world and is nothing in the world of cultivation. Therefore, he cannot invite immortal cultivators to treat his little daughter.
Chang Feng's aunt Liang Jing was naturally quarantined by the authorities after she was infected with 'Bande Blossom', and the place Gu Zheng was going to was the government's isolation hospital for 'Bande Blossom' patients.
Mr. Liang and Chang Le were already waiting at the entrance of the hospital. When they saw Gu Zheng, they were so excited that they were speechless for a while.
"Master Gu, you must save Liang Jing!"
Mr. Liang, who was already in his twilight years, could not bear the pain of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man away. When he made a request to Gu Zheng, his eyes were a little red.
"Don't worry, I will definitely save Liang Jing's life." Gu Zheng said seriously.
Without stopping at the entrance of the hospital, the group entered the isolation hospital, first went to the disinfection room for disinfection, and then changed into a set of protective clothing.
Of course, Gu Zheng would not be disinfected, nor would he wear protective clothing, which was a burden. The spotted flower virus posed no threat to him. Moreover, the transmission route of spotted flower was not through the air, but mainly through water sources, cross-infection and other means.
The hospital was busy. On the way to the ward, Gu Zheng saw many patients with spotted flower. According to Mr. Liang, the number of patients in the hospital was increasing every day, and the entire seventh floor of the hospital was almost full of patients with spotted flower.
Because of Mr. Liang, Liang Jing had a separate ward in this hospital. When Gu Zheng and others entered the ward, Liang Jing was wiping tears.
Liang Jing was the youngest daughter of Mr. Liang. She was only in her thirties. If she hadn't been disfigured by spotted flower, she would have been very beautiful.
"Dad, where is Master Gu?"
Liang Jing was immediately excited when she saw someone coming in, but the number of people wearing protective clothing was wrong, which made Liang Jing anxious again.
Without protective clothing, Gu Zheng did not want to be seen and cause trouble. He was sending out his thoughts all the way, influencing the people around him, so in the eyes of outsiders, he did not exist at all.
The door was closed, and Gu Zheng suddenly appeared and scared Liang Jing.
Before, Chang Feng had told the situation without hiding anything. Liang Lao himself also knew some things. He was surprised to learn that Gu Zheng was a powerful master. After all, Gu Zheng's previous performance had made him look at him sideways.
"Although I was prepared, I was still shocked by the appearance of Master Gu!"
Seeing the fairy-like figure, Liang Jing seemed to forget the pain, and she looked at Gu Zheng with curiosity.
"Xiao Jing, why are you so unruly?"
Liang Lao scolded, and Liang Jing finally woke up, so she quickly apologized to Gu Zheng, and said a lot of good words, asking Gu Zheng to save her life.
"Aunt, Master Gu has agreed to save you. Don't say anything. Let Master Gu take a good look at you!"
Chang Le knew that Gu Zheng didn't like this situation, so he couldn't help but speak.
"Oh oh!"
Liang Jing quickly agreed, then pursed her lips tightly, and really stopped talking.
"I want to check your body. Don't panic, just don't do anything." Gu Zheng said.
Liang Jing nodded, then closed her eyes.
Gu Zheng separated a wisp of divine consciousness into Liang Jing's body and began to check her condition.
The disease of spotted flower originated from Gu worms, but there were no Gu worms in the patient's body, only mutated viruses. And this virus, which is invisible to the naked eye, exists in almost every tissue of the patient's body.
For the spotted flower virus, it is not that practitioners cannot treat it, but the means of treatment through divine consciousness is really too time-consuming and laborious.
If there is no special relationship, which immortal cultivator is willing to spend several days for an ordinary person to eliminate the virus in his body bit by bit?
Moreover, viruses exist in almost every tissue of the patient's body. Even if the micro-manipulation method of divine thoughts is used, it will inevitably cause damage to the patient's body! If the patient's body is not repaired with immortal power or elixirs at the same time as the treatment, then patients like Liang Jing in the fourth stage will never be able to survive the whole process of divine thoughts micro-manipulation.
"Master Gu, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Gu Zheng, who had originally closed his eyes, opened his eyes but frowned and did not speak, Chang Le could not help but ask.
Gu Zheng actually knew a general idea of the situation in the body of the spotted flower patient through Wuyou.
The situation in Liang Jing's body was not much different from what Gu Zheng had learned before, and the reason why Gu Zheng frowned was that he was considering how to treat Liang Jing.
As an immortal chef, Gu Zheng naturally would not use divine thoughts to perform micro-manipulation like ordinary immortal practitioners. The most ideal treatment method in his mind was to treat through food therapy.
After examining Liang Jing's body, countless ingredients rolled in Gu Zheng's mind. What characteristics do they have? Which combination can cope with Liang Jing's current situation.
"I thought of several methods, but I can't determine which one is better for the time being. I need to try it." Gu Zheng said.
"Great!"
Liang Lao and Chang Le spoke at the same time.
"Woo woo..."
Liang Jing, who was sitting on the bed, cried with joy.
"Thank you, thank you, Master Gu!"
Liang Lao thanked Gu Zheng with trembling lips.
"Master Gu, do you need us to provide anything?" Chang Le asked.
"I need you to provide me with a place for cooking and diet therapy." Gu Zheng smiled.
Chang Le was stunned for a moment, then gave Gu Zheng a grateful look: "Thank you, Master Gu!"
Originally, Chang Le thought that if there were any ingredients needed for cooking and diet therapy, they would definitely find a way to buy them as long as money could buy them! But Gu Zheng said this now, which undoubtedly meant that he was responsible for the ingredients.
Chang Le booked a hotel for Gu Zheng nearby, and Gu Zheng soon appeared in the hotel room.
"How does this spot flower compare to the 'bloodworm poison' that cured Kong Qing before?"
The spirit of the weapon, who had been silent all this time, spoke.
"The cost of curing 'bloodworm poison' is relatively high, but there are relatively few variables. The several prescriptions I thought of for curing spot flowers are relatively low in cost, but no matter which prescription it is, I dare not be 100% sure that it will definitely cure spot flowers!" Gu Zheng said.
"What does this mean?" the spirit of the weapon asked.
"When I was exploring Liang Jing's body, I touched the Spotted Virus with my spiritual mind and found that it has very good resistance. The diet therapy I planned to give Liang Jing would last for seven days, but I'm not sure yet. Will the spotted virus adapt to the effects of dietary therapy, or will it be completely killed by the effects of the drug?"
Gu Zheng paused for a moment, then sighed: "Liang Jing is an ordinary person, and the people infected by Spotted Flower are almost all ordinary people. Just because they are ordinary people, it is more troublesome to treat them! Not to mention the immortal cultivators. Now, even for a third-level cultivator, it will be very easy to treat Spotted Flower."
"I thought that with your way of doing things, it would be easy to solve this plague, but I didn't expect that it would be more difficult." Qi Ling said.
"I have thought that this disaster will not be easily solved, and I just want to do something for my hometown."
Gu Zheng looked at the weapon spirit and showed a wry smile: "But you made it my mission to quell this plague. Although this is similar to my original idea, it suddenly blocked my escape route!"
It is undeniable that Gu Zheng now feels that the idea of doing what he wants to do and completing the task at the same time is a bit too good.
"I did it for you too, but who knew things would be so difficult this time?"
Qi Ling rolled his eyes at Gu Zheng, and then said: "No matter how difficult it is, you have to go ahead with it, otherwise you won't be able to take on active tasks in the future."
Gu Zheng nodded and said: "I know this, but I forgot to ask you some details about this mission."
"What details do you want to ask?" Qi Ling said.
"You asked me to quell this plague, but there must be a scope and time, right? What are they?" Gu Zheng said.
"The scope is limited to the dynasty you are in, and the time is unlimited."
After hearing Qi Ling's explanation, Gu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it was not on a global scale, no matter how difficult it was, he believed there would always be a solution.
After finishing the conversation with Qi Ling, Gu Zheng did not start cooking any dietary therapy immediately. He carefully deduced several dietary formulas in his mind and finally decided to use one of them to treat Liang Jing's illness.
The diet therapy given to Liang Jing was not too complicated, and the ingredients used were only average at the highest level.
After preparing the dietary therapy, Gu Zheng personally sent it to Liang Jing. He also wanted to see Liang Jing's reaction after taking the dietary therapy.
"I have long heard from Chang Le and the others that the food cooked by Master Gu is the most delicious in the world. After seeing it today, it was really true. My mouth was watering before I even started eating."
As Mr. Liang's daughter, Liang Jing was almost always immersed in delicacies, but when she took the dietary therapy given by Gu Zheng, she still couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Auntie, hurry up and eat!"
Chang Le looked at Liang Jing helplessly, wondering why she seemed to have no respect at all when facing the ancient controversy?
In fact, it's not Liang Jing's fault. After all, she knew very little about Gu Zheng. She only knew that Gu Zheng was an immortal. Unlike Chang Le, she had heard many legends about Gu Zheng from Chang Feng.
Liang Jing was naturally full of praise for the dietary therapy given by Gu Zheng after eating it, but that was not what Gu Zheng cared about. What he cared about was only the effect of Liang Jing's dietary therapy. Therefore, while Liang Jing was taking dietary therapy, Gu Zheng's mind was always in her body, paying attention to the changes in the effects of the medicine and the virus.
This dietary therapy was very successful. Many viruses died under the effect of the drug. Liang Jing herself felt more energetic and energetic as a result.
Diet therapy can only be taken once a day. After Liang Jing took the second diet therapy, the effect became more significant! The virus in her body cannot be seen by ordinary people, so naturally they don't know how many people have died, but some of her external changes are still visible to all, including Mr. Liang.
Before taking the first dietary therapy, Liang Jing had a total of two spots on her face, and both of them had grown to the point of ulceration. This kind of ulceration caused by a virus cannot heal at all, and it oozes out wetly every day. Bad-smelling liquid.
However, after the second dietary therapy, the ulcers on Liang Jing's face became dry and had obvious scabbing changes.
After the third diet therapy, Liang Jing's external changes became more obvious. All the spots on her face were scabbed, and her overall energy and energy improved to a new level.
"Old Liang, what's going on?"
Since it is an isolation hospital, doctors are naturally indispensable. When Liang Jing's changes became very obvious, Professor Yang, who was responsible for researching the spotted vaccine, was finally alerted.
Professor Yang is a man in his fifties. In terms of age, Mr. Liang is his father. However, Professor Yang has a higher official rank, so he does not have much respect for Mr. Liang who has been relegated to the second line.
"What's going on?" Old Liang said.
"Stop pretending to be confused, I'm talking about Liang Jing's situation!" Professor Yang said displeased.
"What else could be going on? Isn't this all the medicine you are researching?"
Mr. Liang essentially didn't want to expose the ancient dispute, so he found an excuse. However, in Professor Yang's ears, this excuse was indescribably harsh.
"Lao Liang, are you mocking us for not being able to develop a vaccine?" Professor Yang looked a little angry.
"How is that possible! If you were incompetent, how could Liang Jing's condition improve?" Liang Lao said.
"Don't play dumb with me. Did you let Liang Jing use some illegal medicine? Also, why is there a very fragrant smell coming out of Liang Jing's ward every lunch time these two days? In addition, who are the people you brought in illegally?" Professor Yang said.
"How can there be any illegal medicine! There is a very fragrant smell in Liang Jing's ward? How come I don't smell it? As for the people who were brought in illegally, they are all my family members." Liang Lao said unhappily.
Liang Lao's temper was not good to begin with. He laughed with Professor Yang before because he didn't want to cause any more trouble. Now that he saw him being aggressive, his true nature naturally came out.
"You're right?"
Professor Yang was stunned, and then angrily said: "Leave the quarantine hospital immediately, this is not the place you should come to! As for Liang Jing, she will naturally be taken care of by someone, so you don't have to worry too much!"
Mr. Liang, who was born in a military family, got angry, but he didn't care about many things. He pointed at Professor Yang's nose and scolded: "Boy, you have only been eating millet for a few years? Why are you so arrogant? Do you really think you are very capable? If you are capable, you should develop a vaccine for spotted flower earlier, and don't talk nonsense with me here!"
"You, you unreasonable guy, you violated the rules and stayed in the quarantine hospital, you, you are right? I must report this matter to the higher-ups!" Professor Yang was so angry that he trembled all over.
"Go! Go if you have the guts, I'm not afraid of you!" Mr. Liang said without showing any weakness.
