Chapter 111 Master Gangren
Less than half an hour after the phone call, Ye Yingzi arrived.
"Sister Ying, what's wrong with Sister Wen?"
Ye Yingzi's explanation on the phone was not very clear.
"He has a fever, and it seems like he has some other health problems too!"
Ye Yingzi sighed and said, "Xiao Feng, you know Lao Xia's due date is approaching. Given her condition, she can't take medication or get injections, so I thought of you!"
"Sister Ying, you could have just told me about this little thing, you didn't need to come in person!" I said.
Ye Yingzi has been quite busy lately; she flew back from out of town.
"It's been a while since I've seen you, so I thought I'd drop by!" Ye Yingzi said with a smile.
After saying that, she looked at Fatty Lin, whose eyes were bloodshot, and said with a smile, "Little Lin, what's wrong with you? You look so listless?"
"It's nothing, I just used up a lot of energy yesterday!" Fatty Lin yawned.
"What's wrong? Can't handle it anymore? Our Best Actress's skills are too high?" Ye Yingzi teased.
"You slept with Gong Ziyi?" I immediately realized.
"What do you mean, 'go up'? You crazy guy, why are you talking so rudely? I just wanted to test the strength of the fox spirit she was worshipping!" Fatty Lin explained.
"Get lost!"
I raised my foot to kick her, but before I could kick, I felt a chill on my neck. I pulled my foot back and turned my head to see Long Nier giving me a bad look.
"Nier, I'm not jealous of Fatty, I just think he's too reckless!" I quickly explained.
"snort!"
Long Nier gave a soft snort and said, "That had to be for the best!"
"Sister Ying, did Sister Yu tell you that?" Fatty Lin asked irritably.
"This isn't Lao Xiao's fault. Who told you and Gong Ziyi to cause such a commotion yesterday? You couldn't hide it even if you wanted to!" Ye Yingzi said with a smile.
"I really didn't do anything else at first yesterday. I was giving Sister Ziyi a massage, that's why I was making a lot of noise!" Fatty Lin argued.
"Yes, yes, I had a massage all night, and my eyes are bloodshot!" I nodded.
"Alright, stop teasing Fatty. Let him get ready; we need to go to the hospital later!" Long Nier patted me, getting Fatty out of the predicament.
"Nier is still the best to me!"
Fatty Lin glared at me and said, "Sister Ying, wait for me a moment, let me pack up before we set off!"
Ten minutes later, the four of us set off for the hospital.
When we met Xia Wen at the hospital, she was leaning against the bed, seemingly dozing off.
Hearing the noise, she opened her eyes, saw us, and smiled, saying, "Old Ye, I told you, there's no need to trouble Xiao Feng and the others, but you insisted on bringing them here!"
"What do you mean by 'trouble'? Don't you think so, Xiao Feng?"
Ye Yingzi said as she walked inside.
"you do not say!"
I smiled and said, "Sister Wen, we're practically family!"
I went to the bedside, reached out and touched Xia Wen's head, and said, "It's a little hot. Come on, Sister Wen, let me check your pulse again!"
"Why!"
Xia Wen handed me her hand.
"It's nothing serious, I'll give you a couple of acupuncture needles to make you sweat it out and you'll be fine!"
A moment later, I lowered my hand and turned to Long Nier, saying, "Nier, give me the needle case!"
"It's good that you're alright. I already told you, there's no need to call Master Gangren. Just have Xiaofeng come over and give you a couple of acupuncture treatments. But you insisted on calling Master Gangren!" Li Jing started nagging when he heard that everything was alright.
I took the needle case from Long Nier and asked, "Master Gangren?"
"Old Xia is a Buddhist, especially from the snowy region!" Ye Yingzi explained.
I know without her explanation.
Mary from Hong Kong Island, along with Zeng Xiaowei and the others, were introduced to those gurus by Xia Wen.
It is said that Zeng Xiaowei and his companions learned many secret techniques of dual cultivation from those masters.
As for Xia Wen, the fact that she was a Mingfei was no secret.
As for what Consort Ming is, I know it all too well.
Thinking of this, I glanced at Li Jing. He was just a walking, talking green turtle; no wonder he was complaining.
"Before the age of eighteen, Master Gangren was just an ordinary herdsman who couldn't even read. On his eighteenth birthday, Master Gangren suddenly had an epiphany and awakened the wisdom he had accumulated in his past life!"
Seeing that my expression was a little off, Xia Wen quickly explained.
"Awakening to innate wisdom at eighteen?"
It would have been better if she hadn't explained; her explanation made me think of a possibility.
"That's right!"
Xia Wen nodded and said, "Before Master Gangren was eighteen, he couldn't even read, let alone speak Chinese. After awakening his innate wisdom, he became omniscient!"
I chuckled and said, "Wow, that's amazing!"
Awakening to innate wisdom, the wisdom of a fart.
According to her, I could only think of one possibility—possession.
I took out silver needles from the needle box, looked up at Fatty Lin across the bed, and exchanged a glance with him.
Fatty Lin's lips twitched, and he silently uttered two words—"possession."
"Master Gangren is incredibly powerful. He is not only versed in metaphysics, but also has profound knowledge in medicine!" Xia Wen continued.
The more she said that, the more certain I became of my judgment: this was possession.
"If he's that amazing, I'd love to meet him sometime!"
I spoke as I inserted the needle.
"Master Gangren will be here soon!" Li Jing said.
"Will you be there soon?"
I looked up at Li Jing.
"Yes, we had just spoken on the phone when you arrived!" Li Jing said.
"What a coincidence! I'd love to meet him!" I said.
Just as she finished speaking, Xia Wen's phone rang.
Xia Wen glanced at it and said, "Honey, answer it, it's Master Gangren!"
"good!"
Li Jing picked up his phone and walked out while answering the call.
About five minutes later, Li Jing led in a middle-aged man who looked to be no more than thirty years old, with dark skin and very bright eyes, wearing a dark blue monk's robe.
Upon seeing the man, Xia Wen supported herself, clasped her hands together, and respectfully said, "Guru Gangren!"
The man nodded, his gaze sweeping over us. When he saw Fatty Lin, his eyes narrowed, but he didn't say anything, only nodding in acknowledgment.
Fatty Lin nodded in agreement, but his expression subtly darkened.
Arriving at the bedside, Gangren took Xia Wen's pulse and said, "Benefactor Xia, don't worry, this master's medical skills are superb, there's nothing serious!"
As he spoke, Gangren removed his hand from Xia Wen's wrist and gestured slightly to me.
"Where does this master practice?"
Suddenly, Fatty Lin asked.
Gangren clasped his hands together and said, "Eat when you eat, sleep when you sleep, speak when you speak; where in this body is not a place for spiritual practice?"
This answer made Xia Wen's eyes light up, and she looked at Gang Ren with an indescribable admiration.
Fatty Lin chuckled and gave a thumbs up: "Master, what a brilliant Zen koan!"
Anyone with half a brain could tell that Fatty Lin's attitude was off after hearing that.
