142: Chapter 140 Yin Snake Gu 142: Chapter 140 Yin Snake Gu “Mr.
Chen, this talisman pen was specially borrowed from a friend of the leader after he made a phone call,” one of the soldiers said hurriedly, explaining to Chen Hai who had been examining the talisman pen repeatedly.
“No wonder!” Chen Hai nodded.
“Brother Ye has put thought into this, and Brother Huang and Brother Zhang, you two have also gone through a lot of trouble!”
He was already quite familiar with the two military personnel.
Even though he hadn’t asked for their full names, he at least knew what their surnames were.
Things that flowed out from the authentic Taoist tradition were indeed extraordinary.
After all, even though their inheritance had been severed, their foundation was still immensely deep.
Perhaps they could no longer successfully draw talismans, but making talisman paper and such wouldn’t be too difficult for them.
With the deep connections of the Ye Family in Ye Cheng, getting these items was probably just a matter of a few phone calls.
On the other hand, if it were left to himself, the best he could manage would probably be the commonplace items purchased from a candle and incense shop.
“Mr.
Chen, you are drawing a talisman to help save Miss Ye.”
“Preparing these items for you was a task assigned to us by the leader, and it is our responsibility,” the military personnel responded to each other and quickly said.
“If we really talk about it, getting these items was all thanks to the leader’s influence.
We’re just running errands, hardly any trouble at all!”
After a brief pause, one of the soldiers spoke up again, asking, “Mr.
Chen, we’ve prepared everything you asked for, just wondering when you will start drawing the talisman officially?”
“The timing isn’t right now.
I will start drawing the talisman officially at noon tomorrow.”
“Before that, I need to burn incense, take a bath, adjust my state of mind, and cleanse my spirit, body, face, and hands…”
“I won’t leave this house until I have successfully drawn a talisman.
If I have any needs during this period, I’d have to trouble you two brothers!” Chen Hai said with a smile.
Back in his hometown, he could use leftovers as snacks while drawing talismans.
But now, here, drawing a talisman was going to be as formal as it could be, with every little detail taken care of precisely because, after all, the devil was in the details.
Ensuring as best as he could all the details would not guarantee his success in drawing talismans, but at least it would significantly increase the chances of success.
“Alright, Mr.
Chen, Little Huang and I will be right outside the courtyard,” one of the soldiers promised, nodding.
“We’ll make sure no one disturbs you while you draw the talisman.
If you need us to do anything, just call out to us from inside the courtyard!”
After nodding to each other, the two military personnel headed towards the exit of the courtyard.
As for Chen Hai, he practiced inward observation, trying to rid his mind of distractions to adjust his state.
…
Almost at the same time, in Xiehe Hospital, the internal medicine building, on the ninth floor.
A group of nearly ten people walked out of the elevator, making their presence felt.
“President Ye, your daughter’s condition is somewhat complicated.”
“There are some aspects that are simply out of our hospital’s purview.
We’ve really done all we can!”
“Right now, her condition…”
Dean Huang, who was rarely seen on ordinary days, and several other hospital leaders were following behind a stern-faced middle-aged man, all with obsequious smiles.
Dean Huang had only gotten halfway through his sentence when he was directly interrupted by the stern middle-aged man.
“Huang, my daughter had just gotten sick and was only experiencing some vomiting and diarrhea when she was admitted to your hospital!”
“It’s only been two or three days, and now she’s been treated into a coma.”
“Is it possible to get this sick from just being physically weak?” The middle-aged man snorted coldly, displeased.
He turned to another companion who had arrived with him.
“Hou, I’ve long admired your medical talents.”
“I heard that last year, you worked your magic in Yuedong and cured a compatriot from Tai Island of cancer, transferring his cancer cells to your own leg.”
“My daughter’s illness must be much easier to cure than cancer.
I’ll have to trouble you with everything!”
The middle-aged man was named Ye Rongzhong, the father of the Ye siblings, Ye Qingqing and her brother.
The “Hou” he referred to was undoubtedly Hou Donggui.
Hou Donggui had spent most of his time in Yuedong in recent years.
The Lingnan Ye Family, often referred to as the Yuedong King, certainly knew who Hou Donggui was.
Ordinary people below could only hear and see what those at the top of the pyramid would let them know.
Many things’ true nature was well understood by those at the top, yet they would not let the truth reach the ears of the general public.
Although many called Hou Donggui a fraud, Ye Rongzhong clearly knew that he had some genuine skills.
The matter of transferring to Xiangjiang had already been arranged by Hou Donggui, who was prepared to board a flight there.
However, at the airport, he was intercepted by someone.
Hearing that the Lingnan Ye Family needed assistance, he naturally wouldn’t refuse, nor could he.
Subsequently, he followed Ye Rongzhong and his entourage to Xiehe Hospital.
“President Ye, I’ve learned about your daughter’s condition from you, but before I see her with my own eyes, it’s hard to say if I can treat her illness!”
Hou Donggui responded, furrowing his brows.
Dean Huang’s face immediately darkened upon seeing Hou Donggui.
“President Ye, Hou Donggui is a fraud!
The idea of curing cancer from a distance has no medical logic whatsoever and is sheer nonsense!”
“Letting him treat your daughter will only delay her illness!”
“I’ve already called in quite a few experts to hold a grand consultation for your daughter…”
Dean Huang glared fiercely at Hou Donggui, pleading earnestly to Ye Rongzhong.
“Experts?
Or charlatans?
Are you sure that bringing them here will definitely cure my daughter’s illness?”
“And if they can’t?
Is there a problem with letting Hou check on my daughter?”
With a stern face, Ye Rongzhong turned back and coldly glanced at Dean Huang.
In the time it took for this conversation, the group had already arrived in front of the intensive care room where Ye Qingqing was staying.
Ye Rongzhong, his wife Song Ling, and Hou Donggui, the three of them, entered the sickroom.
However, Dean Huang and a few other hospital leaders were stopped outside the room.
If it were any other patient daring to treat Dean Huang and the others this way, they might have become so angry that they’d be pointing fingers and shouting.
But, at this moment, they were all helpless, simply sighing without any further extreme actions.
“Dad, Mom, this is…” Ye Cheng, who had been waiting in the sickroom, immediately got up and greeted them.
He recognized his parents at once but felt somewhat unfamiliar with Hou Donggui, who had entered with Ye Rongzhong.
“This is Master Hou Donggui, whose name you should have heard before!”
“Your father specially invited him to treat Qingqing.”
“How is Qingqing doing now?”
It was Song Ling, Ye Rongzhong’s wife, who spoke.
She wore no ostentatious jewelry and her clothes were plain, yet she exuded an indescribable aura of intelligent beauty.
Although she was well into her forties, because of her meticulous care for herself, she appeared to be in her early thirties at most.
“So you’re Master Hou!”
Ye Cheng certainly had heard of Hou Donggui’s great reputation.
After expressing his sentiment, his gaze fell on Ye Qingqing on the hospital bed.
He sighed deeply and said, “Yesterday, Qingqing was conscious for a while, but today she has been in a coma all day long!”
Women are generally more sentimental by nature.
Hearing her son say this, Song Ling, who had just sat down by the bed and started caressing her daughter’s face, her eyes unwittingly began to moisten.
“Master Hou, what do you think about my daughter’s condition?” Ye Rongzhong, on the other hand, fixed his gaze on Hou Donggui.
“Is this Gu Technique from Xiangxi?
Did your daughter go to Xiangxi before the incident?”
Seeing the kind-faced Hou Donggui scanning Ye Qingqing’s body briefly, he also became visibly more serious.
Ye Rongzhong didn’t answer but simply turned his gaze to his son.
“Dad, Mom, Qingqing did indeed make a trip to Xiangxi before the incident!”
“When I had a friend help diagnose Qingqing before, he also said it was very likely that her illness stemmed from something that happened in Xiangxi!”
Ye Cheng hurriedly explained.
In Yanhuang Country, Hou Donggui was very well-known.
Since he had appeared here, Ye Cheng merely hinted at the situation with Chen Hai, not going into detail.
“Is it really Gu Technique?” Ye Rongzhong, who was usually difficult to read, now had a particularly unpleasant expression.
He looked at Hou Donggui and said, “Master Hou, since you can identify my daughter’s affliction at a glance, I wonder if you have the confidence to remove this thing?”
Hou Donggui didn’t speak.
He approached the bedside for a closer inspection of the anomalies in Ye Qingqing’s body.
“President Ye, some of the Gu Techniques from Xiangxi are targeted and easier to remove, but some, once contracted, are almost unsolvable.”
“If what your daughter contracted was snake poison, you could use five mace of realgar ground into powder, along with four taels each of wild iris and garlic mashed, placed in a bathtub.
Pour hot water over to cleanse oneself.”
“Unfortunately, upon a closer look, I found that the symptoms on your daughter are not snake poison.
She initially vomited and had diarrhea, combined with a fishy smell in the mouth, feverish forehead, and red face.”
“Your daughter is not suffering from snake poison but the practically unsolvable yin snake gu from Gu Technique.”
“This type of gu is formless, shadowless, a mere filthy aura, yet it has already begun to take on some spiritual wisdom.”
“Even my Transportation Technique is entirely ineffective against this gu!”
…
Hou Donggui’s brow was tightly locked for quite some time, his face filled with helplessness.
He heaved a deep sigh and said.
