The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending
Empress Wei stroked her sleeves gracefully, then answered in a timely manner: âJiu, what happened then?â
Empress Dowager Liu liked to listen to legendary stories like this, she was drawn to the story. She wanted to know what happened to Master Cheng and asked, âWhat happened after that?â
Qin Jiu took a sip of tea and continued: âWhen the old priest first said this, Master Cheng didnât believe him. He felt that even after only half a year of taking that pill, he felt energized and his complexion improved tremendously. The gray hair on his temples turned silky black. There were also some visitors who knew Master Cheng personally and stood up to testify.â
âMaster Cheng also suspected the priestâs intention was to lie and get some benefit out of it. He almost chased the priest out. The visitors were also very angry.â
âWho would have thought, the old priest used his hossu to tap two acupuncture points on Master Cheng twice, Master Cheng grabbed his stomach and felt his abdomen hurting, and drool leaked from the corners of his mouth, so he asked the old priest what evil sorcery did he use on him?â
âThe old priest said that if the alchemy was not done right, what was made is not a pill, but a poison. After a person takes it, the evil poison will enter the personâs body. The evil poison would hurt the body, one would collapse just like how tiny ant holes would destroy the nest, gradually swallowing one in whole. Once the poison reaches the heart, oneâs gums will be red and swollen, the mouth will rot, the corners of the mouth will drool, and it will be accompanied by abdominal pain, spasm, dizziness and so on.â
âMaster Cheng is already showing several symptoms. Within three days, the medicine will not work. Let him head back quickly.â
Qin Jiu was good with words and articulated the story interestingly.
Empress Dowager Liu was fascinated, and nodded slightly from time to time, her expressions were changing throughout the development of the story, sometimes she was in awe, sometimes she frowned, and sometimes she sighed.
Yun Guangâs pupils shrank slightly, his face turned pale, he subconsciously raised his hand to stroke the back of his neck, paused in midair again, and then put his hand down casually.
Qin Jiu sighed, âHowever, Master Cheng was still stubborn. He just doesnât believe him, he was persistent to say that the old priest had used evil sorcery on himâ¦ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
She sighed, with an expression that said âMaster Cheng is really blinded.â
âPiak!â
Empress Dowager Liu excitedly patted the small table beside her, and raised her voice slightly, and said, âMaster Cheng is so silly . How can you not believe him! This old priest is obviously a good man, how can you not believe him!â
âThatâs right!â Qin Jiu nodded in agreement, âHow can you not believe him! The old priest is really god-like, he only glanced at Master Cheng, and saw right through him!â
Empress Dowager Liu eagerly asked: âWhat happened next?â
Qin Jiu shook his head sadly, âMaster Cheng is a stubborn man. He felt that the old priest was fooling him, so, with a flick of his sleeves, he left.â
âIn the end, within three days, the old priestâs words came true one by one. The Cheng family called upon all the famous doctors in the county back to their mansion and used a lot of medicines and elixirs on him, but there was still no cure.â
The story was over, but Empress Dowager Liu was still immersed in the story, sighing.
She said to Empress Wei emotionally: âEmpress, look, this priestâs talent is the most important criteria. Donât be coaxed by the demonâs words, making the alchemy by yourself so relaxedly. Youâll just end up hurting yourself?!â
