Chapter 761: Give It A Try

Even after she had taken the medicine and rested for several days, her health did not improve. Instead, she became more uncomfortable. She had insomnia and was p.r.o.ne to hallucinations. She heard that the doctor in the village was very good, so she decided to give him a try.
“This is simple,” w.a.n.g Yao said. He had determined that the cause of her illness was the unique aura around her body, which was somewhat dark and cold. “Sit down. I’ll give you a ma.s.sage.”
To ensure he didn’t frighten her, w.a.n.g Yao used Tuina ma.s.saging methods as a façade to help her while he released his mellow and strong inner neixi. It turned into the strongest of Yang Qi, melting the cold and dark aura as much as possible, just like how suns.h.i.+ne melted snow.
After a moment, when he could no longer feel the presence of the aura and felt that the woman had no major problems in her body, he stopped. “Done!”
“Is that it?” The woman was stunned.
“How do you feel?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“Mmm, I do feel a lot more comfortable,” the woman said.
She stretched her body. The most obvious things were that her body had become lighter and her breathing was smooth. She also felt much more energetic, unlike how she felt when she first came in. She had felt dark and weak no matter what she did, and she couldn’t lift her spirits no matter what.
“Just go home and rest. You’ll be alright,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“Yes, thank you.” The woman paid the doctor’s fee and left.
After the woman left, Wei Hai asked, “What was her illness?”
w.a.n.g Yao took a drink of tea and said, “Frightened or possessed by ghosts.”
“What?” Wei Hai was stunned. “You are a doctor, not a priest, you should make scientific sense!”
“What you can’t see may not be false,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
In the past, he did not believe in those things. After he had seen them with his own eyes, more than once, and had experienced them, he believed in them.
“Are there really such things as ghosts?” Wei Hai asked.
“Of course, I’ve seen them and experienced them myself,” w.a.n.g Yao replied.
“Where?” Wei Hai asked.
“Hong Zhou,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“Hong Zhou? When did you go there?” Wei Hai asked. “Oh, it seems to be close to Longhu Mountain.”
“It’s very close,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “I banished demons and exorcised ghosts with Longhu Mountain priests.”
“For real?” Wei Hai asked.
“Why would I lie to you about that?” w.a.n.g Yao replied.
“What do those demons and ghosts look like?” Wei Hai asked.
“Hmm… How should I describe them?” w.a.n.g Yao thought carefully for a while. “I saw no real form, but they can exist underground for hundreds of years.”
“Spirits?” Wei Hai asked.
“It could be understood as that,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“Oh, what a pity!” Wei Hai sighed and lit a cigarette.
“Pity? What’s there to feel pity about?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“It’s a pity I didn’t get to see it,” Wei Hai replied. “It’s so rare, and I haven’t seen it yet. Next time such an opportunity arises, please let me know. I’ll go with you.”
“Huh?” w.a.n.g Yao was stunned. “At least four people died at that time.”
“There were deaths?” Wei Hai asked. “You were there, but they died?”
“It was people who went before me who died, and I’m not a G.o.d,” w.a.n.g Yao replied. “I can’t guarantee that no one will die if I’m there. After all, those things are terrifying.”
“By the way, how did you get rid of it?” Wei Hai asked.
“There priests from Longhu Mountain there,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“Did the priests know Taoism?” Wei Hai asked.
“Yes, and they all have spiritual weapons, so they have extraordinary powers,” w.a.n.g Yao replied.
“Longhu Mountain… I haven’t been there,” Wei Hai said. “After listening to what you’ve said, I have to take time to visit that Taoist holy place.”
The two chatted. Lunchtime quickly crept up on them.
“Don’t go. Let’s have lunch together at noon,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
They went to the restaurant in the neighboring village. There were a few other diners present.
“How’s business these days?” w.a.n.g Yao asked the owner.
“It’s alright,” the restaurant owner replied. “On such a hot day, there aren’t many diners.”
When it was hot, people often liked to stay in air-conditioned rooms. Few people wanted to go out.
“Hey, there was another dead man at the Li Family Creek hot spring resort,” the owner said.
“Someone died? What happened?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“I heard he was bitten by something and poisoned to death, but there was something wrong with him before that,” the owner said.
Bitten?
The dishes were served quickly. It included several side dishes and two bottles of beer.
“Are you going to drink even though you’ll be driving?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“It’s alright. My driver is just around the corner. He’ll come with a call,” Wei Hai said.
The two chatted while eating. After lunch, Wei Hai went to w.a.n.g Yao’s clinic for a while, sobered up a little, and made a phone call. Before long, his driver came to the village by taxi and drove him away.
Before he left, he reminded w.a.n.g Yao about their earlier conversation. “Remember to call me next time something like that happens!”
“We’ll see. Come again when you’re free,” w.a.n.g Yao replied.
After Wei Hai left, w.a.n.g Yao closed the door. Since there were no more patients, he went to Nanshan Hill.
“San Xian.”
The dog came to him.
“Help me find out if there is a snake on the hill. It’s about the same as this.” w.a.n.g Yao took out a section of the snake and shook it in front of the dog.
The dog looked at it carefully, turned around, and left.
“The snake exists?” w.a.n.g Yao murmured.
The dog took him to the south side of Nanshan Hill, where there were many trees and weeds. The mountain was very steep. The dog stopped before a stone in the middle of the hillside. His sharp claws pointed under the stone.
w.a.n.g Yao looked down and saw a hole under the stone. “Inside?”
Arf! The dog barked.
w.a.n.g Yao stretched out his hand and began digging around the hole. Before long, a white snake appeared in the hole. It was around the thickness of a thumb, but its length could not be seen. With a grasp of the air, w.a.n.g Yao sucked the snake from the hole and lightly pinched its jaws.
“Similar indeed!” He carefully observed the snake in his palm. It was a non-poisonous snake, but it was similar in appearance to the poisonous snake.
It had to be for some special reason that it mutated, but I wonder how many of these snakes are there?
“Sorry to disturb your rest.” w.a.n.g Yao smiled and let the snake go. “Let’s go.”
The man and the dog went up the mountain again. The snake quickly slithered away.
Days pa.s.sed by.
…
Thousands of miles away in southern Yunnan…
“Madam, it should be Mister’s turn to see the doctor today,” a man said.
“We’ll go there right away,” said Mrs. Li, Hou s.h.i.+da’s mother.
Three cars, one of which was an RV, left the town and drove to the village. After waiting for nearly an hour, they finally got in. Several people carried Hou s.h.i.+da into the bamboo building.
“Wait a minute, Master is on the phone,” said a man in his 30s.
They waited in the cool bamboo building. After about 30 minutes, a man in his 50s walked out of the inner room and asked, “What is his illness?”
“He has a stomachache and headache, and the pain is severe,” said the accompanying doctors. “Even painkillers don’t work.”
“Bring him over,” the King Pharmacist said.
Several people carried Hou s.h.i.+da to him.
Huh? The King Pharmacist sighed after just reaching out and feeling him.
“What’s wrong?” Mrs. Li hurriedly asked.
The King Pharmacist laughed. “I can cure this disease.”
“Please, do,” Mrs. Li said. “Thank you”
“It will be $100,000,” he replied.
“No problem,” the woman said.
“Also, answer me a question, who hurt him?” the King Pharmacist asked.
“Hurt him? Do you mean someone hurt him and caused him to be in this state?” Mrs. Li asked.
“This is due to neixi entering his body. It has disrupted his inner energy flow, which is why he had such a response,” the King Pharmacist said. “Forget it. It’s useless asking you. Someone who can use such means would not let you people know about him.”
The King Pharmacist went out and took out a bottle of medicine. He fed it to Hou s.h.i.+da before injecting it into the young man’s abdomen.
