Chapter 783 Only a Desperate Struggle Remains
Moreover, all of this was Gu Yan's own doing.
*
As time went on, Gu Yan finally couldn't bear the torment any longer. His parents asked the school for leave on his behalf, and he was then admitted to the hospital.
But the hospital couldn't do anything, and even painkillers didn't work. Every midnight, he would writhe in pain on the bed, crying, "Mom and Dad, save me! It hurts, it hurts so much!"
"Do you think our son is being haunted by something unclean?" Gu Yan's mother asked with a worried and somewhat frightened expression.
Feeling that her son's illness was somewhat strange, and given that the hospital was also helpless, she began to consider other possibilities.
"Since the hospital can't cure it anyway, let's invite a Taoist priest to take a look!" Gu Yan's father had no other choice but to give up.
Try anything, even if it seems hopeless!
Since the hospital wouldn't allow him to do these superstitious things, Gu Yan's parents took him home.
The Taoist priest arrived, and his expression turned solemn as soon as he entered the room. "Your house is indeed unclean!" These words startled Gu Yan's parents, who huddled together in fear. "Taoist priest, what kind of evil spirit is it? Please help us! Save my son!"
"I will do my best," the Taoist priest sighed. "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."
He couldn't see the animal spirits, but he had some spiritual power and could sense the resentment emanating from the room.
"Master, what should we do next?" Gu Yan's mother asked anxiously.
"I'll go back and get my things first, and I'll come back later to exorcise the evil spirits!" the Taoist priest said softly, with an air of otherworldly wisdom.
"Ah!" Gu Yan's mother panicked, "Taoist priest, are you leaving again? Can't the exorcism be performed now?"
Gu Yan's father was also shocked, "Taoist Master, if you leave, what will happen to our family of three?"
"Don't worry, if this unclean thing were capable enough to harm people, it would have already done so. The time hasn't come yet, so you don't need to worry," the Taoist priest explained.
"But...but we're scared too! Daoist Master, do you have any way to temporarily subdue them?" Gu Yan's mother pleaded, her legs trembling.
The Taoist priest thought for a moment, then took out a talisman from his bag. "Put this talisman around your son, as well as on the doors and windows of the house, and those things won't cause trouble."
Gu Yan's parents tremblingly accepted the talismans. After the others left, they followed his instructions and pasted all the talismans on. Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.
The two dared not stay in their son's room, nor could they abandon him alone; they could only stand outside the door and watch from afar.
They didn't know how much time had passed, but Gu Yan's parents felt that each day was an eternity.
"Knock knock knock!"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Gu Yan's mother rushed to open the door, only to find that in addition to the Taoist priest, Gu Tingyun was also standing at the door.
"Tingyun, what brings you here?" Gu Yan's mother was taken aback for a moment, then forced a smile.
"Grandpa heard about Gu Yansheng's illness and sent me to check on him," Gu Tingyun said indifferently, explaining his purpose.
Gu Yan's parents glanced inside absentmindedly. "Thank you for your concern, sir. It's not a serious illness, but it seems like he's possessed. We've invited a Taoist priest to our home to perform a ritual."
As he spoke, he let Gu Tingyun into the house.
Once inside, the Taoist priest was already beginning the exorcism.
Gu Tingyun saw the animal spirits on Gu Yan's body gradually become transparent as they howled in pain under the effect of the talisman.
Their eyes were filled with resentment and hatred towards Gu Yan.
