Chapter 208 Night Shift Clinic
When she took the clinic clerk out, the fox girl turned around and locked the door of the Taoist temple.
The guy was stunned when he saw this.
The fox girl smiled at him and said, "We at Deyun Temple provide services wholeheartedly. We will open the door after we have resolved your issue."
"Haha." The guy smiled and thought to himself, it must be because you only have one Taoist priest?
Liu Yishou's clinic is just a few streets ahead of the Taoist temple, not too far away. This part of the South City is a bit desolate, and there are not many people walking through the streets and alleys. This clinic is the only popular one within a few miles, but not many people dare to come now.
When he arrived, Li Chu discovered that the clinic was quite large.
Facing you is a main hall, where people usually seek medical treatment and medicine.
There are more than a dozen medical rooms in the back, which are used to accommodate the wounded and take in the poor.
In the main hall, Li Chu met Liu Yishou and Doctor Liu, who both looked worried.
He was a thin middle-aged man with a fair complexion and a slight beard, looking a bit scholarly.
It is not surprising. It is said that Doctor Liu was indeed a scholar when he was young. He failed in the examinations many times, so he gave up literature and turned to medicine. He studied at Xuanhu Villa for three years. Although he was not officially accepted because of his talent, he was given the title of a registered disciple and learned the skill of limb replacement.
Xuanhu Villa has an extraordinary status, just like the Twelve Immortal Sects in the martial arts world. The inheritance within the sect is complex, but any bit of it that gets passed down is enough for ordinary people to make a living.
Doctor Liu did just that, relying on his medical skills to gain a firm foothold in the south of the city. If it weren't for his generosity and charity, often helping the poor and beggars for free, he might have already embarked on the road to wealth.
Just on this journey, Li Chu heard the young man praising his master thousands of times. Seeing how enthusiastic the people along the way were towards the young man, he thought that what he said was true.
Li Chu has always respected such people.
So he said to Liu Yishou very seriously: "Doctor Liu, please be at ease. I will do my best to help you get rid of the evil spirit in the clinic... It only costs fifty taels."
Considering Li Chu's current worth in Hangzhou Prefecture, fifty taels is really a friendship price at the level of sworn brothers.
"Alas." Liu Yishou sighed, "Master Xiao Li, I'm not worried about the money. Money is something outside of one's body, but those injured people... I took them in for the winter, but caused them to suffer this misfortune. Moreover, the arms that were taken away by the ghost are gone, and it is impossible for me to reattach them for them. Thinking that they will have to spend the rest of their lives like this... I... feel guilty."
The waiter at the side advised: "Master, don't be sad anymore. You haven't slept well for several days and nights. They only lost an arm, but you lost your sleep!"
"What nonsense." Doctor Liu glared at his apprentice, then turned to Li Chu and said, "Master Li, that ghost is vicious, you must be careful. We dare not stay here at night, this clinic... I'll leave it to you tonight."
"Please rest assured," Li Chu nodded with a smile.
Now he has become quite professional in exorcism and has developed a lot of confidence.
However, there is still a little doubt.
He asked, "Why didn't you report something like this to the Chaotianque?"
Usually, in a big city like Shenluo City, Chaotianque has a very strong manpower deployed.
If it was a village outside the city, they might not be able to take care of it. If such a terrible evil incident happened in the city, it would be unacceptable if Chaotianque did not come to deal with it immediately after reporting it. There was no need to spend extra money to ask an unfamiliar small Taoist temple in the city to handle it.
"Uh..." Doctor Liu's face changed, he hesitated for a moment, and replied: "The Huadu Conference is approaching, and the cultivators of Chaotianque are busy with tasks, so the report may not be so fast... Besides, we... also absolutely trust Taoist Xiao Li."
Li Chu frowned. This was even more strange. The Deyun branch had only been open for one day. Where did he get the confidence in himself?
Just as he was thinking about it, there was shouting over there, and someone carried a bloody wounded person over, and Liu Yishou was called over.
Li Chu took a look from the side and found that he did have something.
The medical skills in this world are different from those in ancient Chinese medicine. Because of the existence of practitioners, many magical methods have been derived. For example, the limb replacement that Liu Yishou is proficient in is one of them.
According to the book, one can even cut off certain parts of a person and replace them with those of a donkey.
Seeing Liu Yishou's focused look when treating the wounded, one can easily feel that he is a truly compassionate doctor.
Li Chu didn't think any more about it.
…
Soon, it was night again.
In the empty clinic, only Li Chu and the fox girl were left.
The evening breeze was blowing, bringing a biting chill.
No matter how cold the wind in the south of the Yangtze River is, it is just cold. But the wind in the north can really freeze people to death.
It was so hard to find a kind-hearted person willing to take in the beggars wandering on the street, but there were evil spirits here harming people. This must have made Li Chu a little angry.
I don’t know how long it took, but finally a cold wind blew.
call out--
Along with the gust of cold wind, a shadow quickly passed by.
Li Chu closed his eyes, his mind already locked.
It looks like a newly born vengeful spirit, but its strength is surprisingly strong, almost as strong as a ghost commander.
Fortunately, it only wanted the left hand. If it wanted to kill him, there would probably be no one alive in this clinic.
But this is a rare thing.
Unless... he was like the vengeful spirits in Yuhang Town, born from some mysterious force.
Or... he was a cultivator with profound Taoism skills during his lifetime.
"Can I see your left hand--"
A cold voice came from behind, and it finally couldn't hold back any longer.
Li Chu turned around and saw a dark figure.
He was surrounded by black mist, floating on the top of the medical shed. Only the human shape could be seen, and his face could not be seen clearly.
But Li Chu noticed that this vengeful spirit had no left hand.
So he replied: "I can show it to you, but you have to tell me first, where is your left hand?"
"My left hand..." The ghost glanced at his left shoulder: "My left hand was taken away by someone, so I want to get it back..."
"Your left hand is not here." Li Chu said.
"No!" The ghost's eyes suddenly turned red: "It's right here!"
Li Chu frowned.
"If you don't show it to me, I'll get it myself—" The voice of the vengeful spirit suddenly became gloomy.
"Okay." Li Chu nodded and suddenly took out a Ju Yin Pill. "Would you like one?"
"I……"
The vengeful spirit was about to show its fangs to snatch his left hand, but he did not expect him to do this suddenly. He suddenly braked and stopped.
If you could see its face clearly through the black fog, you would see a very embarrassed expression.
Damn it.
My train of thought was disrupted.
I wanted to reject him harshly and tell him to stop playing tricks.
But the thing in his hand... smells pretty good.
After a pause, the vengeful spirit said, "Well... it's not impossible."
Li Chu threw one over, and the vengeful spirit opened its mouth and swallowed it directly.
Since they have all become ghosts, they are naturally not afraid of his poisoning. With a bang, the yin energy of the resentful spirits surged again.
He has barely reached the level of Gui Shuai.
The black air around its body became thicker.
Looking at this powerful change, both the Wraith and Li Chu smiled with satisfaction.
"Even so, I still want to take back my left hand." The vengeful spirit said embarrassedly.
But it is a bit difficult for him to regain his ferocious tone after eating someone's food.
"If you can remember who took your left hand, then maybe I can help you find it." Li Chu said.
"Who is it..."
The ghost began to recall, and then...
"Ah—who took my left hand!"
boom--
The yin energy around it suddenly exploded, and it suddenly entered a rampage state! Li Chu sighed slightly.
After all, he is a vengeful spirit. Even though his intelligence is much better than other vengeful spirits, it is still too difficult for him to recall things from his past life like a normal person.
Especially when it comes to its resentment, it will go out of control if you are not careful.
"Ah—it's Kun!"
The vengeful spirit suddenly held his head and roared angrily.
Kun? Li Chu was startled.
Some extraordinary things involuntarily appeared in my mind.
Silver hair, basketball, overalls...
Well, pay attention.
Seeing that Li Chu seemed to be distracted for a moment, the vengeful spirit regained its sanity. It was surrounded by a surge of black energy and rushed towards Li Chu! "Give me your left hand——"
laugh--
To its disappointment, Li Chu did not give it a hand, but a sword.
A hot pure yang sword.
boom--
The red dragon and the black energy collided fiercely at close range, and the outcome was beyond doubt.
Red and black.
It all came to nothing.
The fox girl clapped symbolically. She had long lost her passion for this boring battle.
"It's over so soon, can we go back now?"
"I want to stay and meet Doctor Liu." Li Chu put away his sword, stood up, and looked into the distance. "He is hiding something. I have to ask him clearly."
