Chapter 198



An hour later, Luo Qian allowed them to come again.

When he saw them, the old man was preparing things for the ceremony.

Seeing them frown subconsciously, "Why are you here again?"

In her mind, Luo Qianyun and the others must have come to preach, after all, that's what her daughter is like.

Relying on the fact that he has only studied for two years, he just doesn't believe this or that.

Hearing this, Luo Qianyun seemed not to see her displeasure, and walked towards the old man with Xu Jia, who had just arrived.

"Don't be angry, grandma. We are just interested in your traditional ceremonies, so we want to take a look." Luo Qianyun said with a smile.

The one who extended his hand was not a smiling person. Luo Qianyun smiled so obediently that the old man didn't know what to say.

Luo Qianyun had left a good impression on her before, so now she agreed to let her stay.

And Xu Jia also has to follow the plan and show her acting skills!

Facing Luo Qianyun's secret encouragement, Xu Jia couldn't help but sigh. He made the wrong friends!

But when she walked up to the old lady, her face showed excitement and reverence. "Grandma, I have always been fascinated by traditional rituals! I think these rituals are full of mysterious power. As soon as I came in, I felt the aroma of herbs in the air, and even my breathing was smooth!"

It was obvious that Xu Jia's words were exaggerated, but the villagers didn't think it was wrong at all.

The old man looked at Xu Jia, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and also a little relief.

"I didn't expect that you, a little girl, are quite knowledgeable and so interested in our traditions." The old man's tone softened a lot.

Xu Jia took advantage of the situation and began to ask about the specific details of the traditional ceremony.

"Grandma, how does the wizard determine where the evil spirits are? And where do they find those special herbs?" Xu Jia asked curiously.

Seeing that she was really curious, the old man raised his head slightly and said with a little pride: "Witches have special abilities. They can determine the location of evil spirits by observing the patient's symptoms, dreams, and some special signs. Those herbs are collected from the mountains around our village and are blessed by the gods."

Xu Jia listened carefully, nodded from time to time and exclaimed, "It's really amazing! What do everyone do during the ceremony?"

Seeing Xu Jia talking like this, the old man became more and more excited. "During the ceremony, family members should surround the patient, pray sincerely, and then confess to the gods. The wizard will chant spells and burn herbs to let the evil spirits feel the power of the gods and drive them out of the patient's body."

Xu Jia listened and echoed the old man, allowing the old man to immerse himself more in the narration of traditional rituals.

She skillfully guided the topic and allowed the old man to share the secrets of traditional rituals.

Luo Qianyun watched quietly on the side, waiting for the right time to introduce modern medicine to combine with traditional rituals here.

Now, she felt that the time was about right.

After receiving Luo Qianyun's hint, Xu Jia continued to maintain a high spirit and said excitedly: "Grandma, do you know? In my country, we also have similar traditional ceremonies."

Hearing this, the old man was also surprised, "Do you have gods there too?"

"Of course, there are many gods and spirits in our place. My parents have been fans of traditional rituals since I was a child. They particularly believe that these ancient methods can bring good luck and health." Xu Jia affirmed.

"Your parents are smart people, unlike my daughter, who is such an idiot." said the old man dissatisfiedly.

The patient's daughter standing by: I don't want to talk.

Xu Jia continued to show off his acting skills, "Speaking of which, when I was a child, I had a disease, and my parents held some traditional ceremonies for me, which made me jump up and down until the end of my life. Although I don't quite understand the specific meaning of those ceremonies, I can feel their love and care. Just like you are holding a ceremony for your family now, it is all out of love for your loved ones."

The old woman showed a touching expression on her face, and she gradually let down her guard against Xu Jia.

"You are a very sensible child. You know your family's painstaking efforts. These traditional rituals of ours are to protect our family and keep them away from illness and disaster." said the old man.

“But it may be because the countries are different. Our traditional rituals are somewhat similar and somewhat different,” Xu Jia said thoughtfully.

Hearing this, the old lady also became curious. After all, until now, she didn't know what the traditional ceremony of Xu Jia's family was like. "What is yours like?"

When asked about the topic, Xu Jia looked serious. "The traditional rituals here are the same as yours, grandma. They both carry the hope and blessings of the family. But the difference is that in recent years, we have also seen medicine and traditional rituals complement each other."

The old man heard this and said nothing.

Xu Jia continued, "You see, modern medicine has advanced instruments and drugs that can quickly diagnose and treat diseases. So, modern medicine treats the body. But do you think that compared to the body, the soul is more important?"

"Yes." The old man nodded.

"Our traditional rituals can heal the soul. Only when both the soul and the body are healed, will the disease be cured faster? My parents said that this is called keeping pace with the times, and times are progressing." Xu Jia.

The old man looked at Xu Jia thoughtfully, as if thinking about what she said.

Seeing that the old lady was touched, Xu Jia continued, "Grandma, don't you want young people to accept traditional rituals? Do you want such a mysterious and beautiful thing to disappear? My parents said that combining traditional rituals with modern medicine is the way to continue the mysterious heritage left by our ancestors. What do you think?"

"Indeed... many young people don't believe it now." The old man couldn't help muttering.

"As for our country, after the two are combined, the disease can indeed be cured quickly. It used to take a month to recover from the disease, but now it only takes half a month." Xu Jia said directly.

Seeing her gradually wavering, the patient's daughter stepped forward at the right time and said, "If that's the case, I can accept it."

Hearing this, the old man became even more agitated, "Then how do we combine these two?"

"It's very simple. While he is receiving our treatment, you can also arrange a ritual to exorcise evil spirits for him. A two-pronged approach will achieve better results!" Xu Jia said.

"We all do this in our hometown, why don't you try it once." Xu Jia.

After a while, the old man finally compromised, "Then let's try it once."

After the success, Xu Jia just felt that he was exhausted from acting.

When a group of people carried the bedridden patient to the medical center, Xu Jia and Luo Qianyun walked together, feeling exhausted both physically and mentally. "Next time, don't look for me if something like this happens."

"How can that be? Your acting skills are so good~" Luo Qianyun said with a smile.
