Chapter 70: The Ultimate Remedy for the Poisonous Gu

"Your Majesty!"

Baiyu reported that the fake Taoist had been beaten to death.

"Not only that, but this fake Taoist also had accomplices, those who helped in the crowd. They were all captured and immediately executed!"

"Good!" The emperor nodded.

"Imperial Tutor, Master Ci Xin, please tell us quickly how to remove the gu poison. We are suffering terribly!"

"Please, Imperial Tutor, please, Master Ci Xin!"

The townsfolk gathered at the county office gate, bowing and begging for help.

They ignored the mud on the ground. At this moment, Master Jing En and Imperial Tutor Ci Xin were their protectors and their hope.

"Actually, the secret formula is simple, but..." Master Jing En spoke, glancing at his master, finding it difficult to continue: "It must be the urine of a pure yang child!"

"What does 'pure yang child' mean?"

"Is it a young boy?"

With this realization, the townsfolk turned to look at their children, their eyes filled with hope.

"Is it to drink?"

"Quick, son, quick, urinate!"

Many were already impatiently urging their children.

"Really, you old fool, stop them quickly!" Ruo Xi thought, truly speechless about this disciple.

"Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, don't rush!" Master Jing En rushed out, but many had already collected the children's urine in clay pots and were about to drink it, despite their disgust.

"..." Xiaoyue and Xiao Yin both wore indescribable expressions.

"Eh, what is this, Master Jing En? How can you make people drink such a thing? Is this really going to cure the poison?" Dong Ju was already gagging.

"The urine of a pure yang child is indeed effective, but if an adult male is still a virgin, it would be even more potent!" Nurse Jin said.

Eunuch Gao glanced around the adults and then at Ci Xin.

"Gao Sheng, what do you mean by that?" Ci Xin asked, turning his gaze.

"Imperial Tutor, please don't be angry. I was just looking, just looking at everyone!" Eunuch Gao replied with a grin.

"Gu worms thrive in dark places; they particularly love yang energy. If we use the urine of a pure yang child to attract them, they will surely come out." Master Jing En explained.

"So, does that mean we use the children's urine to steam them out?" someone asked.

"Something like that, but your children might be too weak, so the gu worms may not come out quickly!" Master Jing En said.

"Then..."

The crowd exchanged looks, then knelt down again.

"Master Jing En, please don't keep us in suspense. Tell us how much money you need, and we'll gather it for you. Just save our lives!"

"Master Jing En, please save us!"

"Jing En, you're not a pure yang body, nor a child, and Baiyu's cultivation isn't enough... sigh, the lives of these townsfolk in Su County are truly in danger!" Ruo Xi shook her head, blew a bubble, and sighed.

"Ci Xin, do you have a better solution? Hurry up!" Xiaoyao, hearing her daughter's thoughts, stepped forward and asked.

Xiao Yin's eyebrows twitched slightly as he walked to Ci Xin's side, reaching out to hold Ruo Xi while saying, "You might have a way to save the townsfolk!"

"I don't!" Ci Xin gritted his teeth, then turned and held little Ruo Xi tighter.

"As the Imperial Tutor, you should alleviate the Emperor's worries!" Xiao Yin looked at Ci Xin sharply.

"Imperial Tutor, you are a wise and enlightened tutor. Even Dean Bai Cangming considers you a brother. You must have a solution!" The townsfolk bowed to Ci Xin again.

"He wouldn't have any solution. This man, always chasing after women, probably isn't a pure yang body anymore!" Ruo Xi thought.

Regarding whether someone is a pure yang body, regardless of her cultivation level, she couldn't tell as a female.

"Amitabha, let me discuss this with the Imperial Tutor. Everyone, don't worry; the gu worms won't kill anyone right away!" Master Jing En reassured the crowd.

"Then, Master, hurry up!"

"Yes, Master, if drinking urine works, I'll make my son drink more water; he wets the bed often!"

"Yes, yes, our dog, though eight years old, wets the bed too. Dog, drink more water!"

The townsfolk, without hesitation, started pulling down their children's pants.

"Wait, that's not the process. Everyone, follow our instructions!" Master Jing En was exasperated and quickly pulled Ci Xin aside. "Little Princess is a girl; she shouldn't see this!"

Ruo Xi: "..."

What is there that this one can't see?

Ci Xin, on the other hand, twitched his lips: "I say, you old monk, you seem quite improper!"

Master Jing En led Imperial Tutor Ci Xin to the backyard.

Xiao Yin left Baiyu to control the situation and went to the backyard with Xiaoyao.

Mo Jingyu silently walked to Ci Xin's side and patted her. Then, he reached out and carried Ruo Xi away.

The door closed, and Jing En and Ci Xin discussed inside.

The people outside scratched their heads anxiously. Despite the cold weather and the rain, their clothes were soaked, making them shiver from the cold.

However, they persisted in not leaving the county office gate.

"Everyone listen up. Follow the order and queue up. No pushing or cutting in line. Ten people at a time will enter the rooms in the county office backyard, where we will remove the parasites for you!" Baiyu came forward from the back yard and addressed the crowd.

The people rushed forward in a chaotic manner.

"If it gets any more disorderly, no one will be treated!" Eunuch Gao shouted loudly.

Someone tried to cut in line and was kicked far away by Dong Ju: "If anyone cuts in line, they go to the back of the queue!"

"Don't worry, everyone will be treated!" Xiaoyao also stepped forward and spoke to the crowd.

Xiaoyao, with her generosity and kindness, quickly gained the favor of the crowd, and everyone began to queue up quietly.

Xiao Yin watched from the side, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Hmm? Is Jing En insisting on doing this? If it doesn't work, his urine will do as well. Later, I'll prescribe some heat-clearing and detoxifying remedies for everyone." Ruo Xi thought, deciding that this would have to suffice for now.

The parasites had already consumed the blood of many people. Therefore, only the urine of someone with a pure yang constitution could make the parasites come out quickly and painlessly.

Otherwise, using ordinary urine to lure the parasites would not only cause pain but might ultimately require Jing En to cut open their wrists one by one with a dagger to release the parasites.

However, compared to the slow and painful death caused by the daily consumption of flesh and organs by the parasites, Ruo Xi believed that this temporary pain was something they could endure.
