I gave a wry smile. This time, I owed Dr. Sun a huge favor.
But we're not worried about being in debt. At worst, we can just sell Li Huai to him and have him take care of us in our old age.
And this is just the beginning!
"The Red Sun Ginseng is too potent. If we use it directly on this girl, her meridians will be completely severed! We need to neutralize it with the juice of the Yin Spirit Grass. Luckily, I picked some last time at the mass grave. I need to crush it and be quick!"
From inside came the sounds of Li Huai frantically grinding medicine and Dr. Sun's occasional cursing.
I exchanged another glance with Luo Tianhe, and we both saw the sympathy in each other's eyes.
Having such a renowned teacher must be incredibly stressful.
Most people probably couldn't handle it.
That is to say, Li Huai is thick-skinned and carefree, and doesn't care about such trivial matters.
He probably wouldn't even care about being scolded by his master.
If it were someone with a narrow mind, they would still hold a grudge against their master.
"Not enough! We need to add some century-old cinnabar to suppress the restless yin energy within her. The third shelf in the west cabinet, yes, that's the jar!"
Centuries-old cinnabar!
I felt uneasy as I listened, and then I heard Li Huai's voice coming from inside the room.
"Master, is this cinnabar expired? Why does it look a bit black?"
"Expired my ass! You idiot, this is top-grade cinnabar that I made with the blood of a black dog born on an extremely yin day! Stop talking, I'm begging you, just grind it into powder already!"
I was both amused and exasperated.
Fortunately, Dr. Sun doesn't have a heart condition, otherwise he probably would have had a heart attack from Li Huai's anger in no time.
Li Huai is quite a talent; how could something like cinnabar expire?
As time passed, Dr. Sun's cursing gradually subsided, replaced by slightly heavy breathing and Li Huai's cautious inquiries.
After all, Dr. Sun is quite old and has been working continuously for so long, so he is probably not up to the task and that's why he asked Li Huai to help him.
Finally, as the first hint of dawn appeared on the horizon, the curtain to the inner room was lifted.
Dr. Sun came out looking exhausted, as if he had aged several years overnight, his pajamas soaked with sweat.
Li Huai followed behind him, also covered in sweat and pale-faced, but with a hint of relief in his eyes.
"How is it, Dr. Sun?" Luo Tianhe and I immediately went over to him.
Dr. Sun waved his hand, plopped down in a chair, picked up the cup of tea that had long since gone cold, and drank it all in one gulp before speaking in a hoarse voice:
"The little girl's life has been saved for now."
We breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.
Although we could all tell that Dr. Sun's words might have serious long-term consequences.
But it's still much better than just kicking your legs and dying!
"Thank you for your help, Dr. Sun."
I felt a little embarrassed, as it was the middle of the night and I had kept Dr. Sun busy all night.
Dr. Sun waved his hand, looking somewhat weary, and said:
"These people born on extremely unlucky days seem to be my nemesis. One, Li Huai, torments me every day, and this little girl almost killed me!"
Upon hearing this, Li Huai gave an awkward smile.
Seeing that Li Huai was still smiling, I glared at him fiercely.
If he were more sensible, Dr. Sun wouldn't be so angry every day.
After pausing for a moment, Dr. Sun continued:
"The Yin energy in her body has only been temporarily suppressed, not eradicated. Her soul has also been shaken and she needs a long period of rest."
He paused, then looked at me:
“She forcibly severed the ghost contract, making the symbiotic connection between her and the vengeful spirit extremely unstable and filled with malice. I fear that the vengeful spirit will not let this go and may come looking for her through this connection!”
Hearing him say that, I couldn't help but give a wry smile.
That vengeful ghost isn't just a possibility, it's a 100% certainty that she will come looking for him, because she is Bai Yang's sister!
Fortunately, Bai Yin also suffered a backlash, and it is estimated that he will not come looking for her in the short term, so there is no need to worry for now.
"Now, tell me what exactly happened."
Having temporarily resolved the immediate problem, Dr. Sun finally became curious and inquired about the whole story.
After I told him about all the messy things that happened with the Bai family, Doctor Sun was quite shocked.
"They actually tried to resurrect someone who died many years ago. That's impossible."
"So he didn't succeed. Even if we hadn't interrupted him in time, he probably would have just brought back a monster from hell, not his deceased wife."
I shrugged and said.
Dr. Sun stroked his beard.
"What you say is true. Defying fate is simply impossible! There is a predetermined order in the universe."
"I was thinking of persuading you to help this vengeful ghost pass on, but now it seems like it's going to be quite troublesome."
That's right. If we were to perform a ritual to help the deceased to be reborn in the Yin realm, the first person to disagree would probably be the Yang realm.
"By the way, Dr. Sun, how long do you think it will take for her to wake up?"
"At that time, her three souls and seven spirits had already left her body, and she probably saw the underworld with her own eyes. As for when she will wake up, I can't say for sure. It may only take a day or two, or it may take a month or two, but at the latest, it will be within half a year."
Now I hear my question and answer.
Upon hearing Dr. Sun's answer, I couldn't help but rub my temples, feeling a bit of a headache.
"We don't know who taught Bai Yang this blood pact, and we probably can't find out who sent her the text message either."
I let out a long sigh.
The number that sent the text message was an unknown number, so even if you contacted a technician or asked Zhang Qiang for help, you probably wouldn't be able to find the mastermind behind it.
The only thing they could ask was Bai Yang, but they didn't know when Bai Yang would wake up.
I racked my brains, but I couldn't figure out who, given Bai Yang's social circle, would come up with such a vicious method to murder her.
What deep-seated hatred and grudge could there be?
What's even stranger is that Bai Yang actually believed him, and Bai Yin also seemed to believe him, which is why they cooperated.
How did he manage to convince this human and this ghost?!
I couldn't figure it out at all.
"Alright, then I won't bother you any longer."
I couldn't understand it at all. Seeing how exhausted Dr. Sun looked, I decided to take my leave.
After carrying Bai Yang into the car, I turned to look at Luo Tianhe.
"Luo Tianhe, could you arrange a VIP ward for her and find a caregiver to look after her? She probably won't wake up anytime soon."
Luo Tianhe nodded; this was a piece of cake for him.
Li Huai in the back seat was already snoring; he had been busy all night and had managed to stay awake until now.
Luo Tianhe and I were fine. We first took care of Bai Yang's hospitalization, and then drove home to sleep.
We didn't wake up until evening, and the first thing I did was call Zhang Qiang.
"Hey Zhang Qiang, help me find out who Bai Yang has been in contact with lately!"
