Chapter 691 Physiological brain lesions are just manifestations
There was another round of discussion in Lingxiao Palace. The wisdom of the gods was all above the passing line, so it was not difficult for them to understand Wen Rui's story.
"Emperor Wen, during the chaos, you were the one who controlled the gods and soldiers who were under the spell of the magic that attacked their minds, and led them to evacuate the dangerous area. I think you must have a unique secret to breaking the magic, right?"
The Jade Emperor asked anxiously, "I regret not listening to your advice and looking down on the Blood Sea Demon Clan. Now it seems that the harm caused by this disaster is no less than a catastrophe. If it is not handled properly, the Three Realms will be in danger! I also ask you to put the overall situation first and contribute the secret to resolve this catastrophe. If this catastrophe is resolved, the Emperor will have immeasurable merits and can expect to be promoted to the position of Heavenly Venerable!"
Wen Rui sighed and wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.
He also couldn't tell how sincere the Jade Emperor was, and whether he could fulfill his promise of the throne of Heavenly Venerable.
"Your Majesty, even if you confer upon me the title of the Emperor, I will have to be really capable of sitting next to you in court from now on."
Spreading his hands, Wen Rui said with regret: "With my ability, I can only temporarily appease the soldiers who have been bewitched by the magic and prevent them from going crazy and making a scene. I am powerless to restore them to their original state and remove the influence of the magic on their minds."
In order to prove that he was not hiding his incompetence or evading his responsibilities, Wen Rui waved his hand, and two Ultron robots escorted a heavenly soldier into the hall.
The soldier's movements were stiff, just like the metal puppet that escorted him. He seemed to have lost his soul and could only follow orders.
"The method of controlling the celestial soldiers is simple and crude. You all have the ability of seeing through things with your clairvoyant eyes. If you look closely at the celestial soldier's head, you will know what secret I used."
The gods present widened their eyes, their divine eyes emitted rays of light, and they collectively activated their eyes of clairvoyance.
When they saw it, they all gasped.
In their perspective, a golden centipede was coiled on the brain stem of the heavenly soldier, with its limbs extending into the spine and countless sharp centipede feet piercing into the spinal meridians.
"This celestial soldier is still mad, but his body is no longer under the control of his brain. He is like a walking corpse and cannot move no matter how mad he is."
Wen Rui snapped his fingers while explaining, and the centipede lying on the brain stem loosened its sharp teeth that were biting the medulla oblongata.
The blurry eyes of the heavenly soldiers suddenly focused and they found themselves in the Lingxiao Palace. Under the gaze of the gods, they did not show any fear or awe. Instead, their hair stood on end, their eyes were wide open, and they looked at the Jade Emperor and the immortals as if they had seen the most disgusting and dirty things in the world.
"Blood sea monster, prepare to die!"
The heavenly soldier roared, gritted his teeth, and flew towards the Jade Emperor on the magnificent throne, with a determined look of ready to die.
Ordinary soldiers in heaven would not dare to rush forward and fight against the Jade Emperor, and would be suppressed and tremble in fear even if they saw the Heavenly Lord or the Star Lord. However, this ordinary soldier was as bold as a bear and a leopard, and regarded the other immortals as nothing. He did not care about the Jade Emperor's awe-inspiring power at all. Although they were countless levels lower in realm, he still regarded him as an enemy.
Wen Rui immediately snapped his fingers again, and the golden centipede bit his brain stem. The flying heavenly soldier fell to the ground, then climbed up woodenly like a robot and walked obediently back to the two Ultron robots that escorted him.
The projection screen switched to the celestial soldier's perspective. In his eyes, he was surrounded by demon mosquitoes. The Lingxiao Palace was like a demon cave, and all the immortals and gods were monsters with bared fangs and claws. The Jade Emperor had become a fat, pus-covered octopus-like soft-bodied demon king.
"As you can see, I did not unlock the magic. I just transformed the bodies of the heavenly soldiers into temporary puppets."
Wen Rui patiently explained the symptoms shown, and while explaining, he controlled the projection screen to play a 3D display. The display showed an enlarged CT image of the brain nerves of this heavenly soldier, with some lesions marked.
"The purple witch's magic released some kind of ultra-strong high-frequency radiation, which permanently changed the way the protein in the soldier's brain cells folded, and generated prions in his brain through the air."
"These prions continued to replicate and fold, completely replacing his brain tissue, causing his way of thinking and cognitive logic to become distorted. The world he perceives is completely different from ours."
Wen Rui mentioned a lot of new knowledge terms of Jiejiao. Among the gods there were many former disciples of Jiejiao who had privately asked Wen Rui for a complete set of Jiejiao teaching materials to study before, so they were able to understand what he said.
Many of these fabricated new knowledge textbooks of the Jiejiao were published under the name of Master Tongtian. Even the former disciples of the Jiejiao among the gods were deceived into reading them as the new Jiejiao scriptures because of the master's reputation.
"Lü Yue, the God of Plague, and Yu Huacheng, the God of Smallpox, according to what the Emperor has said, this should be a kind of mental disease. Can you two solve this evil spell?"
As the saying goes, "A stone from another mountain can be used to polish a jade." The Jade Emperor also secretly got a set of Jiejiao teaching materials compiled by Wen Rui for reference, so he roughly understood Wen Rui's explanation.
But he was not an expert after all. As a leader, he only needed to understand the situation. Professional matters could be handled by professionals at any time. So he immediately called on the troops and summoned the two gods of plague and smallpox.
Lu Yue and Yu Huacheng stepped out of the class and stared at Tianbing's head for a moment.
"This epidemic is indeed a bit troublesome. The prion virus that Emperor Wen mentioned is completely different from common viral epidemics such as smallpox. In fact, it is not fundamentally different from the life matrix that constitutes the human body, but it can damage the human mind and destroy the brain."
The Plague Emperor Lu Yue said: "The usual methods of treating plague are ineffective against this disease..."
Hearing him say this, the Jade Emperor frowned and said worriedly, "Is it really incurable? Ninety thousand heavenly soldiers and generals, the two gods Huang Tianhua and Huang Feihu, and my nephew Yang Jian have all been poisoned. If there is no cure, won't they be like walking corpses forever?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry. If it were ten years ago, I might not be able to treat him, but I have benefited a lot from studying the new version of the Jiejiao Medical Classics compiled by my teacher over the years, and my medical skills have made great progress."
Lu Yue stroked his beard and smiled, "My teacher is extremely wise. The New Medical Classics has a detailed discussion on prion infection. Although it does not explicitly state the treatment method, I have learned from the medical classics and figured out the treatment method on my own."
After saying that, Lu Yue walked forward, raised his hand and pressed it on the top of the heavenly soldier's head. Bursts of light emanated from his palm, and he injected divine power into it.
Under the microscopic perspective, countless misfolded proteins in the lesions in Tianbing's brain were broken down into amino acids under the stimulation of divine power. The amino acids were reconnected through peptide bonds, and the polypeptide bonds folded according to certain rules, and were actually reorganized into normal proteins.
The affected brain tissue quickly decreases until it disappears.
Even Wen Rui did not master this magical art of protein reorganization, so he hurriedly and secretly instructed Jarvis to record the entire process data, preparing to go back and learn it secretly.
"Master Wen, let your puppet insect return him to freedom and see if his madness has been cured."
After finishing the treatment, Lu Yue said to Wen Rui with a smile in a very cordial tone, addressing him as his master. After all, the newly compiled Jiejiao Medical Classics was given to him by Wen Rui, and Lu Yue was very grateful to this junior master.
During the Conferred Gods War, the two had a good relationship. Wen Rui's understanding of the way of plague far surpassed that of many other cultivators of his time. He and Lu Yue had a lot in common, and they regarded each other as close friends. In Lu Yue's eyes, Wen Rui was a close friend among his fellow disciples of the Jiejiao sect.
