Chapter 445 Curing Evil Spirits
"I didn't believe it at the time. To prove that nothing was wrong, I went to the well and ordered the workers to push open the stone cover and pull the well rope!"
Tang Yanqiu hesitated for a moment before explaining what she had done.
"Tsk!"
I didn't know what to say for a moment. This is what they mean by ignorance is bliss!
"Sister Yanqiu, you're amazing!"
Fatty Lin and I reacted similarly; after a moment of hesitation, we uttered this remark.
"I didn't understand at the time!"
Tang Yanqiu gave a bitter smile.
"And then?" I asked.
"After that, my health deteriorated, and I often had hysteria!" Tang Yanqiu said.
"Sister, your illness is also related to the Japanese devils. You can't just talk about this time and not mention the atrocities committed by the Japanese devils!" Li Donglin interjected.
"How did you get involved with the Japanese?" I asked curiously.
"Why!"
Tang Yanqiu sighed and said, "It's all my fault for being greedy!"
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"A wealthy overseas Chinese businessman came to me and said that his family had left during the war years ago. His father died in the war and was not properly buried because he left in a hurry. He wanted me to find some connections to bury his father in Tianshou Mountain!" Tang Yanqiu said.
"And then?" I asked.
"Then, I got someone to approve the note and agreed to it. Who would have thought that after they arrived, they would do some weird things, like driving nails into the ground during the burial. I sensed something was wrong at the time, but I didn't think it was a big deal. I didn't believe in this stuff!" Tang Yanqiu said.
"That's how I met Sister Yanqiu!"
Li Donglin picked up the conversation, then chuckled coldly, "I was only a teenager back then, obsessed with feng shui and numerology. I'd wander all over the capital in my spare time, just to check the feng shui, and that's when I happened to catch that group hammering nails into the ground!"
"Tianshou Mountain? Why does that sound so familiar?" Fatty Lin muttered.
"The Ming Tombs are located on Tianshou Mountain!" Li Donglin said.
"Dragon Vein!"
Fatty Lin immediately realized what was happening.
"That's right!"
Li Donglin nodded and said, "Those people appear to be overseas Chinese, but they are actually Japanese devils. Their goal is simple: to sever the dragon vein of Beijing!"
"Damn it, it's those Japanese devils again!" Fatty Lin snorted and recounted our previous experiences fighting the Japanese devils.
As they talked about this, the two became increasingly enthusiastic.
"Oh, I was thinking of talking about it later, I'm at the doctor's!"
I have no choice but to offer this advice.
"Yes, yes, let's see a doctor first, then we'll talk about it!"
Li Donglin didn't mind and pointed at Tang Yanqiu, saying, "Sister Yanqiu and I became acquainted after a fight. We've known each other ever since that incident. Because of that, Sister Yanqiu was tainted by a trace of the Yin energy from the dragon vein's backlash. Coupled with her previous dealings in antiques and that ancient well later on, all these factors combined have taken a toll on her health!"
"right!"
Tang Yanqiu nodded and said, "I was too naive back then. If it weren't for Donglin, I would have made a huge mistake!"
"Later, I consulted many masters, but it was all in vain. They all said I was possessed by evil spirits and haunted by vengeful ghosts, and that there was no cure or cure!"
She paused, then looked at Tang Yufan and said, "Later, Donglin helped me find a master, and that master told me a method: find someone to take the blame for me!"
"And then you found your brother-in-law?" I asked.
"Um!"
Tang Yanqiu sighed and said, "I'm sorry to Yu Fan for this!"
"There's nothing to apologize for. You didn't lie to me. It was all my own choice!" Tang Yufan said upon seeing this.
After saying that, he looked at us and said, "Thirteen, Xiao Lin, Yanqiu didn't lie to me. When she found me, she made it clear to me that she married me to ward off bad luck!"
"I can agree or disagree; she won't force me!"
"Later, when my mother became seriously ill, I asked Yanqiu for help. Yanqiu didn't use this to coerce me. She didn't mention any conditions at the time, and just found the best doctor for my mother!"
At this point, Tang Yufan looked at Tang Yanqiu gratefully and said, "If it weren't for Yanqiu, my mother wouldn't have lived so long!"
It's clear that Tang Yufan is genuinely grateful to Tang Yanqiu; it's not an exaggeration.
This is something I didn't expect.
Back then, when I listened to the old men in the alley chatting, they spoke with great certainty that Tang Yanqiu had used all sorts of tricks, including coercion and enticement, to marry Tang Yufan, the monk from Journey to the West. Now it seems that she did use some tricks, but not as they described.
Tang Yanqiu's tactics were simple: she valued Tang Yufan's filial piety and used it to her advantage.
"There's no need for so much talk between us!" Tang Yanqiu gently patted Tang Yufan's arm.
"Brother-in-law, let me take your pulse!" I said after thinking for a moment.
I've finished examining Tang Yanqiu's pulse, and I know everything I need to know. I know how to treat her.
"good!"
Tang Yufan nodded and offered his hand.
When I placed my hand on his wrist, the initial pulse was gentle, but upon closer inspection, it was extremely ominous.
The pulse at the cun position is weak and scattered, the pulse at the mingmen position is extremely weak, the primordial yang is leaking out, and the pulse energy is intermittent. This is a sign that the primordial yang energy is forcibly drawn away and transferred to others.
This aligns with what Tang Yanqiu said.
This is a case of sacrificing one's yang energy to borrow lifespan, transferring one's own yang energy to Tang Yanqiu to suppress evil. Over time, this depletes one's lifespan and weakens the fire of the gate of life. In addition, it also absorbs some of the yin energy backlash from Tang Yanqiu, resulting in physical weakness, fatigue, and mental lethargy.
As soon as I told her the result, Tang Yanqiu hurriedly asked, "Thirteen, is it easy to handle?"
Meeting Tang Yanqiu's anxious gaze, I said, "Sister Yanqiu, you are suffering from Yin Sha devouring your meridians, your lifespan is being eroded; your brother-in-law is losing his lifespan by borrowing from you, his life force is weakening. Your karma is intertwined. Your Yin Sha is suppressed by your brother-in-law, and your brother-in-law's life force is being depleted by you. If this drags on for another six months, your brother-in-law will most likely exhaust his lifespan. At that time, Sister Yanqiu, your Yin Sha will be broken, and you will be haunted by vengeful spirits. The two of you will collapse together."
"I told you long ago, this can't last. Ordinary Chinese medicine practitioners, or even so-called imperial physicians, can't cure you. You need to find a Taoist doctor like Thirteen to treat you!" Li Donglin snorted.
"The madman is right. Sister Yanqiu, you are now suffering from Yin Sha Devouring Meridians, and your brother-in-law's Yang energy has been almost completely drained!" Fatty Lin added.
"Can it be cured?" Tang Yanqiu then asked.
"Yes, but it's only a temporary solution, not a permanent cure. However, it won't be a problem to let you live for another five or six years!" I said.
"That's enough!" Tang Yanqiu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"Sister Yanqiu, my plan is to use acupuncture to open the meridians, combined with mystical arts to seal away evil spirits, and then supplement with medicine to regulate and replenish life essence!" I said.
"Thirteen, we'll listen to whatever you say, however you want to cure it!" Tang Yanqiu said.
I turned to Fatty Lin and said, "Fatty, go prepare the Bagua array plate, lightning-struck wooden needles, cinnabar, and also get nine-leaf mugwort to fumigate the area."
