Chapter 20: Golden Silkworm Gu Online!

  Telling Grandpa about the matter, Qin Ye's first reaction was shock. He didn't expect that his guess would indeed come true. Relying on Shi Huang's Gu technique, he could have guessed that 300 years ago, he wouldn't be kind-hearted.

  "Grandpa, what do you think is going on with Fang Yu and them?"

  He lit a Long White Mountain cigarette and took a big drag, pondering in the smoke, "In my opinion, they were poisoned by Gu."

  "What!？Gu poison?" To know, Gu poison is one of the hundreds, and each has a different detoxification method. This question made Qin Feng difficult, so he asked his grandfather: "Grandfather, based on your experience, what kind of Gu poison are they?"

  Puffing on the remaining half of his cigarette, Qin Ye said, according to what Qin Feng had described, it seemed like a Golden Silkworm Gu. "I saw this kind of Golden Silkworm Gu when I was in Yunnan Province. To make this gu, one must prepare twelve kinds of highly toxic insects such as centipedes, scorpions, spiders, venomous snakes, lizards and toads on the fifth day of the fifth month, Dragon Boat Festival. Each kind is a poisonous insect, they kill each other, the more toxic ones eat the less toxic ones, the strong ones eat the weak ones, until only one kind of poisonous insect remains. This last remaining poisonous insect will undergo mutation after eating other poisonous insects and finally become this Golden Silkworm Gu." After extinguishing his cigarette butt, Qin Ye continued to say: "On Dragon Boat Festival that year, Master took us a few fellow disciples to visit a local gu master, it was then that I saw the poison of this gu."

  "Xiao Feng, those who have been stung by the golden wasp generally experience a temporary loss of consciousness due to the toxin invading their body. Gradually, the venom in their stomach will take effect, giving birth to many poisonous insects. That's why they feel abdominal pain, as if something is biting them."

  Qin Ye said up to here, Qin Feng was somewhat puzzled. After all, they had done ultrasound and X-rays, and hadn't found any worms in their bellies.

  "Xiao Feng, those people they touched were infected with Gu poison. If their limbs come into contact, the Gu poison will invade their bodies. At first, the insects are very small and can't be detected by ordinary medical equipment."

  "Is there an antidote?"

  Master Qin replied to Qin Feng, "There is indeed, but it depends on how deep the Gu poison is in them. Little Feng, I'll teach you how to detoxify right now, learn it and go try it out immediately to see if it's a Golden Silkworm Gu."

  "How to try?"

  Qin Ye walked into another kitchen next to the dormitory, grabbed something and handed it to Qin Feng, saying: "Use this!"

  "What is this?" Fang Yu looked at what Qin Feng had brought over, wincing in pain from his stomach, and asked him to chew it in his mouth.

  "Mung bean. Fang Yu, try chewing on mung beans and see how it feels." As he spoke, he grabbed a few grains of mung beans and put them in Fang Yu's hand.

  Fang Yu didn't understand, and wanted to ask why, but Qin Feng insisted on keeping him in suspense, only telling him after he had chewed it over himself. Helpless, he could only stuff the dozen or so yellow beans in his hand into his mouth and start chewing.

  Seeing this, Qin Feng hurriedly asked: "How is it? What's the feeling?"

  To say that taking a handful of soybeans and chewing them in your mouth would definitely feel bitter and astringent, with a raw bean flavor. However, Qin Feng learned from his grandfather the method to identify whether he had been infected with the Golden Silkworm, which was to chew on soybeans.

  If you haven't been poisoned by the golden wasp, then the taste of chewing soybeans is definitely astringent and bitter. But if you have been poisoned, then the taste of chewing soybeans will be tasteless. That's why Qin Feng grabbed that handful of soybeans and rushed to the hospital to let Fang Yu chew on them, for this very reason.

  "What taste? What feeling?"

  "It has no taste, and there's no feeling at all."

  Things have come to this point, and Qin Feng has indeed guessed it. The feeling of Fang Yu chewing on soybeans is indeed tasteless, so it can be confirmed that they are the ones who poisoned Jin Canhu.

  "What's wrong, Qin Feng?" Fang Yu looked at Qin Feng with a worried and gloomy face, his serious expression unsure of what he was concerned about.

  "Fang Yu, I know why you're sick."

  "What? Speak quickly."

  It seems that things are about to become clear, but at this time, Fang Yu's stomach suddenly started hurting. Coincidentally, the other three classmates in the same ward also had severe abdominal pain, with symptoms identical to Fang Yu's.

  "Damn it, another relapse." On one side was Fang Yu's foul-mouthed scolding, while on the other side Qin Feng sat calmly and steadily, carefully examining their symptoms. He took Fang Yu's right hand and examined it closely, and after a moment, he seemed to have discovered something.

  "Fang Yu, have you touched those paper people?"

  "Ugh, now my stomach hurts all the time and I find it's getting more painful, like something is biting me." She rubbed her stomach hard, hoping to alleviate the pain, but things remained just as tricky. Fangyu asked Qin Feng what was going on, and Qin Feng replied: "I think you've been poisoned by a gu insect."

  "What's Gu poison?" "I've heard of it, damn it, how did we get infected with this thing?" Fang Yu still didn't understand what was going on.

  "It's a paper man, and someone has cast a gu poison on it. So if you touch the paper man, the gu poison will be transmitted to your body." Qin Feng then told Fang Yu about the paper man being cast with gu poison, and also told him about the outcome of the guest's accident. However, in order to keep it confidential, Qin Feng omitted the part about Zhang saying something about a treasure.

  Besides the three classmates who spoke dialect, there was also a school's disciplinary officer present. The principal of Shizuka City Normal University was shocked to hear about this and, considering the reputation of the school, decided to cover it up, sending one disciplinary officer every day to take care of them, even students within the school knew very little about it. The officer who heard Qin Feng's words was so surprised that his thin body almost collapsed, saying: "How did you know?"

  Not only him, but other classmates also wanted to ask for clarification. Qin Feng was in a hurry to treat the illness, so he hastily said two sentences and then covered it up, preparing to go find the antidote.

  Call Lin Ruochen, hoping she can come out and help herself. But didn't expect to call Lin Ruochen three or four times, no one answered, don't know what happened. Under disappointment, had to run to the pharmacy to find the antidote that Grandpa said.

  According to Grandpa's guidance, people who have been poisoned by the Golden Wasp should be detoxified as soon as possible. Otherwise, the deeper the poison goes, the larger the parasitic poisonous insects will grow. At that time, the poisonous insects will tear and bite all the internal organs, causing the poisoned person to die in pain and rot. Fortunately, Fang Yu's poisoning was not very deep, so it would only take a day or two to recover. As long as they used realgar, garlic, and iris flowers to make a medicinal decoction with boiling water, the poison could be expelled and cured. However, if the poisonous insects had grown larger, this method would not work, and the hedgehog would have to be used as medicine to detoxify (the Golden Wasp is most afraid of the hedgehog).

  Arriving at the Chinese medicine hospital, he hoped to find the three flavors of medicine here. But just then, a call from Lin Ruochen came and Qin Feng had to put down his current affairs and go to the newspaper office first.
