143: Chapter 141 True Taoism Talisman 143: Chapter 141 True Taoism Talisman “Master Hou, are you saying that there’s no hope for my daughter?”
Song Ling’s eyes, already moist, could not hold back any longer as tears poured out like beads from a snapped string.
Not only her, but even Ye Rongzhong’s gaze was also fixed on Hou Donggui.
Unlike Song Ling, Ye Rongzhong’s tiger-like eyes seemed to contain a hint of murderous intent.
Perhaps, that murderous intent was not directed at Hou Donggui.
Nevertheless, his stare still brought an indescribable, immense pressure to Hou Donggui.
“President Ye, Mrs.
Ye, your daughter’s condition is not completely beyond hope!”
“As the saying goes, the person who tied the bell should be the one to untie it.
The yin snake gu has already developed spiritual wisdom and can communicate with the person who administered it.”
“If we can find that person, she could potentially prompt the yin snake gu to leave Miss Ye’s body on its own.”
“Although I lack the power to resolve the situation with Miss Ye, making her temporarily regain consciousness is something I might just be able to manage!”
“Do the two of you want me to help bring her around?”
After hesitating for a while, Hou Donggui cautiously spoke up to offer his suggestion to the Ye couple.
“Master Hou, please do trouble yourself then.
Let our daughter come back to consciousness!” Ye Rongzhong and Song Ling exchanged glances, nodded, and Song Ling spoke up.
“Hm!” Having obtained their agreement, Hou Donggui closed his eyes slightly and took a few deep breaths.
Right after that, already standing beside the sickbed, Hou Donggui reached out and gently pressed his hand on Ye Qingqing’s forehead.
At that moment, an unhealthy flush appeared on Hou Donggui’s plump face.
“Uh…” On the sickbed, Ye Qingqing’s complexion turned even whiter.
She let out a soft groan and, eventually, slowly opened her eyes.
“President Ye, Mrs.
Ye, Miss Ye has temporarily regained consciousness.
Hou has managed to fulfill his duty.”
“However, the yin snake gu in her body is quite troublesome; I can suppress it for no more than half an hour!”
“After that time passes, Miss Ye will lapse back into unconsciousness…”
Appearing to have overexerted himself, Hou Donggui gasped heavily for air.
Seeing Ye Qingqing finally open her eyes, he tactfully retreated to a corner of the hospital room.
“Dad, Mom, why are you here?” Ye Qingqing was clearly startled to see her parents.
“What else would bring us here?”
“You, girl, couldn’t you just keep your peace studying in the Capital?
What business did you have running off to Xiangxi?”
“If it weren’t for your brother calling home, we wouldn’t even know you’ve gotten into such big trouble!”
“If you safely get through this crisis, from now on, I want you to behave, understood?”
With a stern face, Ye Rongzhong intended to scold his daughter harshly.
But seeing Ye Qingqing looking so pitiful, he couldn’t bring himself to speak harsh words.
“Mom, Dad, I just feel a bit weak.
I’ve been checked several times in the hospital, and they all say it’s nothing serious!”
“My brother is too much, knowing you both are busy.
For just a little sickness like mine, was it really necessary to inform you?”
“Oh, right, brother, didn’t I ask you to find Chen Hai?”
“More than ten days ago, he did a divination for me, predicting I would encounter trouble; however, I thought he was just spouting nonsense to scam me and didn’t take his warning seriously.”
“When he left, he even gave me his pager number specially, saying I could contact him if I needed help.”
“It’s just too bad that I didn’t appreciate his kindness and tore that sticky note to shreds.”
“Brother, as long as you find Chen Hai, he will definitely have a way to solve the problem I have…”
Talking seemed to be strenuous, especially when mentioning Chen Hai, regret flooded Ye Qingqing’s face.
If she had taken Chen Hai’s advice that day, perhaps there wouldn’t have been a trip to Xiangxi.
And she might not have ended up in her current state.
Although she was conscious, insisting she was okay, she could distinctly feel something inside her body moving chaotically.
She felt extremely uncomfortable, and even as a top student from Tsinghua, she couldn’t find the right words to describe this feeling.
“Qingqing, this morning I found that Chen Hai you mentioned and brought him here to see you,” her brother replied.
“Your condition is a bit complicated, and even Chen Hai is initially at a loss on how to deal with it.”
“He simply mentioned that he knows of a talisman that might be of some help to your condition.”
“However, that kind of talisman is a bit difficult to draw, so I found him a quiet place and let him concentrate on drawing talismans…”
Ye Qingqing’s questioning fell into Ye Cheng’s ears, and he had already made a response immediately.
Ye Rongzhong and Song Ling, standing on the side, were totally perplexed, frowning upon hearing this.
“Xiaocheng, who is this Chen Hai?” Ye Rongzhong hadn’t spoken, but his wife Song Ling, with a puzzled face, had already asked this question first.
“Dad, Mom, that Chen Hai is a freshman who just started at Capital Political and Legal University this year, and he should be considered a friend of Qingqing!”
Ye Cheng hurriedly spoke up to explain, “This Chen Hai might have some insights into metaphysics…”
He had barely finished his sentence when Ye Rongzhong already gave him a stern look and glared: “Nonsense, what kind of abilities could a young fellow who has just started university have!”
“Master Hou is still here, and he is a real master of metaphysics in our Yanhuang Country.”
“Even he is helpless with this matter.
Can that Chen Hai solve it just by drawing a talisman?”
“You and Qingqing are not three-year-olds anymore.
How could you believe such unreliable things?”
He pointed at Hou Donggui, who was sitting in the corner on a chair, resting behind closed doors to recuperate, and Ye Rongzhong scolded his son harshly.
But at this moment, Hou Donggui suddenly opened his eyes.
“President Ye, Mrs.
Ye, the Chen Hai you’re talking about—if there’s no accident—should be the one I’m familiar with.”
“Just a few days ago, I had a discussion with him for a few days.
Although he’s young, this is true, but he does have some unique expertise in certain areas.”
“As the saying goes, different masters have their own skills.
Problems that I, Hou, cannot solve, perhaps he indeed has a method for.”
When he heard the name Chen Hai, he had already taken note.
Seeing that Ye Rongzhong seemed not to take Chen Hai seriously at all, he hurriedly spoke up at the right time and put in a good word for him.
In fact, Hou Donggui himself was also quite surprised upon hearing that Chen Hai had gone to draw a talisman.
After all, he only knew that Chen Hai had some insights into Geomancy and Divination.
He had never expected that Chen Hai would also know how to draw talismans!
“Master Hou, you know that Chen Hai?” Ye Rongzhong was taken aback.
One is a well-known master of the Mysterious Sect, and the other is just a young guy who has just started university.
If Hou Donggui had not brought it up himself, Ye Rongzhong would have found it hard to believe that there was any connection between the two.
“Yes, I’ve met him a few times and had several dealings with him!”
Hou Donggui smiled and said, “From what I know of Chen Hai, he’s not the type to make irresponsible statements.”
Hearing this, Ye Rongzhong’s eyes lit up, “Master Hou, does that mean Chen Hai’s talismans might truly solve my daughter’s problem?”
“It’s possible.
The talismans circulating on the market are basically just for show and completely ineffective.
But a True Taoism Talisman truly has incredible uses.”
“I had thought the art of talismans had been lost, and our lineage hadn’t touched upon these at all.
I have limited knowledge in this area.”
“If Chen Hai can really draw a True Taoism Talisman, then perhaps, he can easily solve the yin snake gu!”
Hou Donggui nodded affirmatively with a complex expression on his face and said.
Although he always felt that Chen Hai was not an ordinary person, in his opinion, for Chen Hai to fully mature, it would take at least ten years or more.
But now, he suddenly felt that he might have underestimated this little brother!
“Master Hou, are you saying Chen Hai is even more powerful?”
The few people in the hospital room were still exchanging looks of uncertainty, but Ye Qingqing on the hospital bed showed a hint of an inexplicable glow on her face as she directly asked Hou Donggui a question.
“In some aspects, Chen Hai is indeed quite powerful!” Hou Donggui was startled for a moment, then smiled slightly as he responded.
“Qingqing, tell us about what you experienced in Xiangxi.”
“The yin snake gu on your body wouldn’t have attached to you for no reason; you must have provoked something!” Ye Rongzhong stepped forward and directly started questioning Ye Qingqing about the issue.
Whether or not Chen Hai could successfully draw the mentioned talisman was still unknown.
For the Ye Family, the priority was to find the person responsible for the gu.
If they could locate that person, with the resources of the Ye Family, maybe they wouldn’t even need Chen Hai’s talisman to force that person to retract the yin snake gu and make Ye Qingqing normal again.
“Dad, Mom, I went to Xiangxi with a few classmates!”
“The student I sponsored didn’t want to continue his education because his father accidentally broke his leg while cutting trees on the mountain.”
“After persuading his family for a long time and finally convincing them to let the student continue his studies, we pooled some money for the student’s family.”
“After that, my classmates and I came straight back.”
“On the way, we didn’t cause any trouble.
I have no idea why the yin snake gu you’re talking about ended up on me.”
Tilting her head, Ye Qingqing pondered for a moment.
But no matter how hard she thought, she couldn’t recall whom she could have possibly offended.
