When the program crew walked out of the rental house, they were stunned by the scene outside.
I saw that the entrance of the corridor, which was not very spacious to begin with, was suddenly filled with residents of the building. They gathered in groups of three or four, talking about something.
Seeing the program crew and Ms. Liu go out, the residents in the corridor gathered around them.
Liu:?!
The gray and white hedgehog in Bai Ci's palm was also startled by the voice and went back into the backpack.
"You are the one filming the show 'Spiritual Matters', right? I'm watching the live broadcast of your show. Host, look, it's still playing on my phone!" A middle-aged man waved his phone excitedly.
Other people and neighbors also took out their phones and took photos with the production crew.
A resident who knew Ms. Liu and her daughter's condition asked, "You guys on this show can even cure terminal illnesses? Can you take a look at lung cancer? My husband's lungs have been damaged by smoking..."
Liu and other staff members were busy refuting the rumor:
"That won't work. We are only here to check if there are any abnormal factors for the little girl. If you still have any questions, please listen to the doctor."
Most of the tenants in this building are family members of patients, some with serious illnesses that are difficult to cure.
Suddenly, I heard that the "Spiritual Matters" program team came to treat a dying girl, and word spread that they could cure cancer.
Even after hearing what Liu said, no one was willing to leave and they all gathered at the door and pulled.
"My husband is also lying in the ward, please check on our family too!"
"Brother Bai Ci, let's add each other's contact information..."
After finally squeezing out of the crowd, Liu's clothes were all wrinkled;
Bai Ci, who suffered from severe social phobia, had his eyes wide open and walked very fast with his lips pursed.
When we arrived outside Niu Niu's ward, the guy carrying the camera turned the lens, and the ward inside could be vaguely seen through the glass window on the door.
Ms. Liu knocked on the door and shouted something in dialect. A moment later, a tall and thin middle-aged man with slightly gray hair opened the door from inside.
Seeing the production crew following behind his wife, the tired-looking man was stunned, "This is..."
"I'm from the show crew. I brought this little white master to check on Niuniu. How is she? Is she asleep?"
"Come in." Mr. He shook hands with Liu Da, stepped aside to let the cameraman and Bai Ci in, and said:
"I'm not asleep. The nurse just came over to change a bag of medicine. Her arm is swollen again. When she inserted the needle, she didn't find the right position and inserted it twice. It still hurts now..."
Before coming, the program team learned from Ms. Liu that Niu Niu had difficulty eating because of a series of organ failures.
She has inflammation in her throat and is unable to swallow hard or large foods. She has been eating liquid food and mashed food paste this month.
The reason why the shooting was postponed at noon today was that Niu Niu had bloating and indigestion after lunch, which caused her to vomit and have diarrhea, which was a critical condition.
If it hadn’t been stopped in time, I’m afraid this episode wouldn’t have been filmed.
Liu asked quietly, "Do we need to disinfect before we go in? Can the camera go in?"
Ms. Liu: "She can go in. The doctor said that her disease is caused by the collapse of her internal system, and it has little to do with the external environment."
She had spent a lot of money to keep her child in a sterile ward for nearly two weeks, but the child's condition did not improve at all and continued to worsen.
Liu: "Then let's keep our voices down."
When the program crew entered the ward, the sick Niuniu also appeared in the live broadcast room.
I saw the little girl lying on the hospital bed with various tubes inserted into her body. She was thin and weak due to the pain. She was completely different from the little sun holding the medal and smiling in the VCR.
Hearing the noise, Niuniu half-opened her eyes and said weakly, "Mom..."
Ms. Liu walked over and gently touched her forehead. "Does your stomach still hurt? Your mother's friend is here to see Niuniu."
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
Niu Niu was very well-behaved, but she made Ms. Liu's eyes tear up.
How could it not hurt? Even the doctor said that the child's internal organs had failed to a certain extent. Even the simplest breathing, swallowing and excretion were torture for her.
In addition, her kidneys and liver are not in good condition, and her body and face are often swollen and purple.
The doctor said frankly that at this point, death would be the best relief for Niu Niu.
Niu Niu is already nine years old and precocious. She knows very well that her illness is very serious. Her parents even sold their house and quit their jobs to pay for her treatment. So whenever they ask her if she is in pain, she says no.
It was her sensibleness that made Ms. Liu and her husband feel even more uncomfortable.
Mr. He sat on a stool, covered his eyes with his hands, and said in a very low voice:
"The doctor told us to be prepared, saying she only had two to three weeks at most..."
The pressure that his child's serious illness brought to his family and him has made him feel suffocated for the past six months.
His parents - the child's grandparents - called him privately many times, asking him to persuade his wife to stop treating her if she couldn't be cured, otherwise their family would be completely ruined if she continued to treat him.
But every time he saw his daughter's obedient eyes as she tried to endure the pain, he felt like something was stuck in his throat and he couldn't say such words at all.
After Ms. Liu calmed her daughter down, she said to Bai Ci:
"Master Xiaobai, come and take a look at Niuniu."
Bai Ci nodded and walked towards the bed.
In fact, he felt pity for Niu Niu the first time he saw her. It was the first time he saw such a young child with lesions all over his body, and there was even a hint of death in the thick smell of illness.
He stood beside the bed and stretched out his hand to cover Niu Niu's arm. "You must be in pain inside."
Niuniu was a little nervous, but was surprised to find that the palms of this handsome and fair-skinned brother in front of her were very warm, "Yes, a little..."
Bai Ci: "Don't be nervous, I want to 'see' the cause of your illness."
As he spoke, he gently lifted a corner of the quilt and placed his palm on the little girl's stomach, keeping a little distance without directly touching her body.
The torso below the palm is very thin, as if a thin layer of flesh is covering the bones, and the ribs are clearly visible.
The couple next to them opened their eyes wide when they saw this. Mr. He asked, “What are you doing?”
Ms. Liu: "This Master Xiaobai is a spirit medium. He can invite a white spirit who is good at curing diseases to possess him. He should be checking his body."
Mr. He frowned slightly, looking at the camera in the room and the overly young boy standing in front of his daughter's bed, and found it absurd.
When his wife wanted to submit a letter for help to this metaphysics program, he tried to dissuade her.
The doctors said that she couldn't be saved. Could it be that these great immortals and mediums could perform some magic to bring Niu Niu back to life?
But his wife was determined to vote and no one could stop her.
He felt that his wife just couldn't accept the fact that their daughter was going to die and had gone crazy.
But in front of the camera, Mr. He said nothing, just sighed.
Bai Ci's thin palm started moving from Niu Niu's abdomen, slowly to her chest and neck, repeating this cycle for nearly ten minutes before he withdrew his hand.
His body swayed slightly, and he steady himself by holding onto the cabinet next to him.
When he turned his head to face Da Liu and others again, his face was pale and a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead as if he was exhausted.
Mr. He was stunned, muttering to himself that this little charlatan seemed to have good acting skills. His wife stepped forward and asked:
"How is it, Master Xiaobai? What's wrong with Niuniu...?"
"I'll take some time first." Bai Ci said, pursing her lips, and slowly walked to the stool and sat down, ignoring Da Liu and not saying a word.
Just as the people in the ward and the audience in the live broadcast room were looking at each other in bewilderment, the sick Niuniu suddenly said, "Mom, I'm hungry."
It took Ms. Liu two or three seconds to realize what her daughter said, and she said excitedly, "Hungry? Did you hear that, husband?!"
"Mom will get you something to eat right now!"
After the explanation, the audience in the live broadcast room finally understood why Ms. Liu and her husband were so excited when Niu Niu said she was hungry.
After her condition became serious, Niu Niu often suffered from inflammation, swelling and pain. Eating became a torture for her. In addition, she always had bloating and stomach pain. She had not asked for a meal in the past three months, so she became so thin that she was just skin and bones.
After making a mushy liquid food with a taste that was hard to describe, Ms. Liu brought it to her daughter's bedside and watched her finish half a bottle with nervous eyes. "How do you feel?"
Niuniu blinked her eyes and said excitedly, "It's amazing, mom. My brother's hand was warm on my belly. It was so comfortable! My belly and throat don't hurt anymore!"
Of course there was still slight pain in other parts of the body, but for the little girl who was used to pain, it was negligible.
"Really?! That's great, that's great!"
Ms. Liu looked at her daughter, who was much more energetic than before, and her hands were shaking with excitement.
She believed what her daughter said.
Before Bai Ci came, Niu Niu had to use an oxygen machine for most of the day because of heart and lung failure and respiratory problems. It had been a long time since she had been able to speak a sentence as fluently as she did just now.
"Did you see that, husband? Niuniu can really be saved!" Ms. Liu's voice was trembling. She walked up to Bai Ci and expressed her gratitude repeatedly: "Thank you, Master Xiaobai! You are really amazing!"
Mr. He looked at this magical scene and felt that his three views were overturned.
He could not believe this metaphysical scene, but his daughter's obviously improved condition forced him to believe it.
He immediately put aside his prejudice and bowed to Bai Ci, "Master, please save Niuniu."
【这也太牛逼了，当代扁鹊不过如此吧！】
【嘶……要不是我亲眼看到小姑娘的前后对比，打死我也不相信有人能神到这个地步，这要是剧本演的，那小姑娘可以去拿奥斯卡了。】
【蚌住了，所以科学之上果然还是神学吗？？】
擦了细汗的白慈却缓缓说道：
“抱歉，我做不到。”
刘女士夫妻俩愣住了，听他接着说道：
“我刚刚看了一下你们女儿的身体情况，体内很多器官都老化了，那些炎症和并发症都是病理性的，你们懂吗？”
白慈：“病理性的意思就是，这是她身体自然出现的病，不是什么鬼怪作祟。”
“我刚刚只是把她身体里的炎症、感染的地方化开了，又用我的力量重新强化了一下她身体里的器官，让它们重新能够运转起来，这个效果大概能维持一个多月，最多了。治标不治本。”
刘女士：“怎么会这样呢？难道就没有什么彻底解决的办法吗？”
白慈摇摇头道：“我没法让那些器官停止老化，它们还会持续衰竭，一个月后你们的女儿会变回现在这个样子。”
说到底他只是个修行出道行的精怪。
虽然天赋就是治病，但他还没强大到能扭转生死的地步。
光是帮妞妞消除体内那些大小炎症、强化器官，就耗空了他力量和精力，要花一段时间才能恢复。
若不是节目需要，他不会如此心善主动帮忙。
白慈认真想了一下，对刘女士夫妻二人说道：
“你们想治本也不一定没办法，可以多寻找几个能力比我强的巫医、出马仙，让他们定期为妞妞疗理身体，让身体一直保持在一个比较好的状况。
然后再寻找合适的健康器官，每隔一段时间就去进行一次手术，把身体里衰竭的器官都替换了，说不定这样还有一线生机。”
他说的轻松，可要做成功却比登天还难。
先不说这个世界上比他厉害许多的‘医’门本就不算太多，那些方外士人也格外难请，心气高费用昂贵，往往出手一次就动辄数十万、上百万。
妞妞这个病情一年要疗理6次以上，光是这个费用一年就要千万以上。
除此之外要寻找适配的器官，每换一个器官还要修养、等待排异结束……稍有不甚就会死在手术台上。
如此种种就算成功达成，所计的钱财、精力和时间也是天文数字，对刘女士夫妻二人这样普通家庭来说无异于天方夜谭。
刘女士面如苍白，无力地看着病**的女儿。
原来有了希望后再破灭，是更为痛苦的事情。
大刘安慰道：“既然还有转圜之地，我们不妨再听听其他选手有什么建议。”
刘女士心生期待，点点头道：“无论如何我们一家都得谢谢小白大师。”
白慈将要退场的时候，忽然想到了什么，“对了，你这段时间是不是后颈酸痛，肩膀紧绷？”
这话是问何先生的。
何先生摸了摸后脖子，点点头：“是有点……”
中年打工人多少都有点肩颈或是腰椎问题，他之前是做律师的，经常要伏案写作本就不算太好。
女儿生病后为了方便求医，何先生就从事务所离职了，白天跑一整天外卖爬上爬下很是辛苦，但一个月也能挣一两万；
就是身体情况日渐不行了。
他老是觉得肩膀酸疼。
白慈继续道：“你晚上在出租屋的时候喜欢坐在靠着客厅窗户摆放的桌椅处，在那里处理你的公务。”
何先生面露惊讶，“还真是，我还做网络咨询律师赚外快，平常就坐在窗台前，有什么问题吗大师？”
“你坐在窗户前的时候，就没觉得后颈时不时钝痛、或是沉沉的么？”白慈好奇。
“有倒是有，但颈椎病么……我也习惯了，而且说实话就算有点小病工作也不能停啊！”何先生苦笑道。
女儿妞妞每天都要做血液透析和血液滤过治疗，有时候还要做血浆置换，这些都是因为器官衰竭后失去了这些功能；
除此之外还有住院费、昂贵药物和各种密切监测生命体征的仪器和供氧机等等……
每一天的费用都在千元到上万不等。
白慈道：“我倒不是不让你赚钱，只是你的颈椎钝痛并不全是病症造成的，你可知道你们租住的那间房子里有鬼魂盘踞？”
刘女士/何先生/观众们：？！！
何先生夫妻二人一脸懵逼，显然根本不知此事。
恰巧直播间里就有那栋楼里的老住户，在评论区证实了白慈的说法。
原来那栋出租屋在一年多前死过人。
是一个自杀的中年人。
他癌症晚期，也是和刘女士一家一样在医院旁租了个小房子，妻子在他查出得病后就和他离婚了，他把所有的积蓄都拿来治病也没治好。
最后这个中年人彻底绝望，又无家可归，某天竟然拿了根绳子，在出租屋的客厅悬梁自尽了！
第二天清晨来看病的路人远远从窗户外，看到一个悬挂的人影，被吓得魂儿都没了，警察来了之后这人的尸体都凉透了。
这件事一出，这栋房子就变成了凶宅，把房东气得直拍大腿痛哭流涕，从此客源大跌。
他只能隐瞒此事，降价出租。
就是因为此处比其他房屋都便宜不少，刘女士一家为了省钱才租这里的。
白慈点点头道：“那个人自缢而亡又没有人给他收尸，就变成了这栋房子里的地缚灵，晚上阴气重的时候就会显身悬挂在当初上吊的地点——你坐着的窗户附近。”
“你每天在那里伏案写作，一抬头的时候就能碰到它的脚后跟，所以你才会感觉到时有时无的钝痛。”
他一进门的时候，就看到窗前晃**的吊死鬼了。
不过那鬼生前虽有怨气，却没有太多的恨，并没有主动谋害刘女士夫妻俩，只是占据在那间屋子里不愿意离开。
何先生闻言想到了自己偶有的钝痛感，还真像什么东西在扫自己后颈，他吓得脸都绿了。
刘女士：“小白大师，他不会有什么事吧？”
白慈解释了一下此鬼没有恶念，道：“就是染了一点阴气，抽空的时候拿艾草熏一熏身上，或是去庙里上上香就行。不过家中有鬼魂到底不利于身体，你们还要在那里居住的话，最好还是找人超度了它。”
夫妻俩连连摇头。
知道那处有鬼，他们哪还敢接着住！
“我们马上就找新房子搬走。”
白慈点点头，“那我就没有别的事情了。”
说着他走出了病房。
直播间内爆发了一场小热潮。
【卧槽！忽然想起来徐富一进门的时候，就说窗户那里有东西！他竟然还真有点东西？】
【我觉得徐富就是八字轻有阴阳眼，单纯能看到但没能力解决，人还是不坏的，他走的时候还给每个工作人员都留了辟邪的东西呢。】
【一想到吊死鬼的脚跟一直在踢那个大哥的后脖子……我鸡皮疙瘩起来了！】
【妞妞好可怜啊，希望下面的选手们能有办法帮助她。】
经此一事，徐富的口碑反而小小转变了一下。
他身上带着的那些符箓和佛牌，在本期赛后小火了一把，一些观众觉得他有阴阳眼，至少不是大路边那些装神弄鬼的纯骗子，应该还有点用处。
不过这些都是后话。
病房内大刘道：“下一位出场的选手是9号选手：禾芈涂。”
因着妞妞的情况变好，再加上节目组担心再回出租屋，会被那里的居住民缠上，所以接下来的选手们便直接到妞妞的病房里即可。
禾芈涂登场时穿着一件藏蓝色的袍子，中长发扎了个低马尾，带了一副泰式半椭圆形的墨镜。
看到病**的小姑娘时，他道：“把你的手递给我。”
相握了一小会儿，禾芈涂还俯身看了看妞妞的瞳孔和眼白，最后说道：
“她身上的生机不足，生了重病。但是我在她的身上并没有感觉到什么阴魂作祟，或是小鬼、巫蛊之类的东西。”
“我倾向于她的病不是人为的，没有人害她也没有鬼作祟，她就是病了。这事儿找我没办法，我不会看病，还是找医生吧。”
禾芈涂说完后，评论区不少观众都说他挺实诚的，看到什么就说什么，不像一些大师那样装神弄鬼。
临走之前，他停顿片刻道：
“如果非要说点什么，这个女孩儿的是有慧根的，和普通人不太一样。就是命不好，得了这种病可惜了。”
和通灵体质、灵觉一样，一个人如果生来就聪慧，是能看出来的。
禾芈涂离开后，刘女士才苦笑道：“很多人都这么说过。”
从小到大女儿都是别人家的孩子。
她成绩在班里名列前茅，奥数学得也好，跆拳道和游泳在儿童组里也得奖……所有的亲朋好友都说她长大了一定有出息。
生病之后，他们也觉得很可惜。
下一个出场的是6号选手，女巫黛西。
After she came on stage, she also performed a ritual, but like He Mi Tu, she did not feel any dark or bad power from Niu Niu.
Daisy shook her head and said, "I can't see any dark energy, and I don't feel that she was harmed by others or her life was taken away... Although I'm sorry, this cute little angel is really sick."
After coming to this conclusion, the sentimental Daisy was very sad.
She hugged Ms. Liu tightly and said, "She shouldn't have died like this. I will pray for her and hope it will be of some help."
[I found that Daisy and Xiaohe are both very good at watching ghosts. In the last game, they showed their skills in the "Gumantong", but once there are no ghosts doing evil, they are not so good. ]
[So the profession is still not suitable, and Sangsang has to come in now. ]
[Sister Daisy is so gentle, I like her so much! ]
The next contestant to appear is No. 1: Taoist Xun Yiqing.
When he appeared, he was still wearing a gray Taoist robe and cloth shoes. After listening to Liu Da's talk about Niu Niu's situation, he asked for Niu Niu's horoscope information.
After some deduction, he frowned slightly and said, "Just looking at the horoscope, this little girl has a good fate. In your words, she has a high IQ."
Apart from this he saw no other flaws.
Xun Yiqing walked to the bedside and asked Niu Niu to stretch out her hand.
But this time he was different from the previous contestants. He did not hold Niu Niu's hand to sense her energy, but asked her to open her palm and carefully looked at every line in Niu Niu's palm.
He looked at her for several minutes, which made Ms. Liu and her husband nervous, and only then did he let go of Niu Niu's hand.
Xun Yiqing looked into Niuniu's eyes and said, "Uncle will take a look at your spirit platform in a moment. It won't hurt and won't hurt you. Don't struggle or resist."
Niu Niu nodded confusedly, feeling a little nervous.
Taoism has many branches and is profound and extensive.
A person's life and death, fortune and misfortune can actually be roughly deduced from his face, palmistry, and the ten gods in his eight characters.
Although Xun Yiqing was not the best in this field and could not judge life and death with his eyes like Gu Zhisang, he could still see some problems.
From Niu Niu's horoscope and palmistry, he did not see any obvious signs of life or death.
But Niu Niu didn't have any luck-changing magic or any evil spirits, so her illness was really strange.
Xun Yiqing put his index and middle fingers together to make sword fingers, and with a sound like a deep bell, he chanted a Taoist spell.
Then he pointed his sword at the center of Niu Niu's forehead.
Niu Niu only felt a hot sensation on her forehead, as if something had drilled into her head, causing her to shiver.
This feeling lasted only for a moment, and Xun Yiqing soon withdrew his hand with a complicated expression: "So that's it..."
"Your daughter is a virgin."
