"There is no cold evil entering the body in the pulse condition."
"The family is poor and has no food to eat."
"How can you lose your moral integrity at such a young age?"
"The face is not black, the tongue is not green, and the hands and feet are not cold. There is no sign of chest pain, but there are symptoms of chest pain."
The old medical officer broke several strands of his beard unconsciously, but the cause of A Zhi's illness was still not diagnosed.
After Ah Zhi came back to life, he was heartbroken and wanted to die.
Li Chang'an asked someone to inform Hua Weng and ask him to question the 'Ghost Monkey' if there were any hands or feet involved in his sorcery. But the man was a perverted lunatic, and the Taoist priest had no hope.
On the other hand, the child was sent to a Salesian home.
Although Medical Officer Lu has a bad temper, his character and medical skills are guaranteed.
Unexpectedly, the old medical officer was helpless.
Human life is at stake.
"Why don't you go to the medical clinic in the city and give it a try?"
"You... are confused." The old medical officer wanted to call him a "little devil", but thinking of others, he changed his tune temporarily, "Besides me, how can any doctor be willing to consult?"
"How……"
Li Changan was about to refute, but when he saw Mrs. Tao who was silent and weeping silently, she suddenly came to her senses.
The mother and son come from a poor family.
Even when he prays to gods and Buddhas, he only dares to pray to himself, the "god of ten coins." How can he get the money to go to the city for medical consultation?
You can see Ah Zhi.
Although the little girl fell into a coma under her own spell, her body still twitched unconsciously, her eyebrows were furrowed, and her eyelids were beating. It was obvious that even in a coma, she was still suffering from extreme pain.
After finally saving the child's soul, are we going to watch her die of pain?!
"Perhaps." But Huang Wei suddenly said, "A'zhi is not infected with the disease?"
"Where did you come from? How can you feel pain for no reason? Why don't you leave quickly?"
Doctor Lu didn't recognize Huang Tail, so he just scolded him when he caught his beard.
Huang Wei was not angry and explained: "The old medical officer didn't know that this girl's soul had been taken away by evil magic. Maybe her disease is not in the body, but in the soul?"
Medical Officer Lu was silent.
Li Changan felt that it made sense.
He immediately summoned Ah Zhi's soul. The soul left the body, and naturally there was no pain anymore. When he asked Ah Zhi, he said that when the soul was in the body, his heart was like a red-hot iron, causing severe pain in his heart.
When asked about other things, the little girl herself was very ignorant. She just called her mother and said that she would rather be a ghost than return to the world again.
Everyone had no choice but to turn their attention to Huang Tail.
Huang Wei started to speak but stopped.
Medical Officer Lu was immediately displeased: "Since you have something to say, why bother covering it up?"
Mrs. Tao also wiped away her tears and came over to beg.
Huangwei sighed.
"It's not that I don't want to say it. It's just that my method is too weird and creepy."
Doctor Lu thought to himself: What could be scarier than having a ghost living at home?
Li Changan thought: What could be more bizarre than traveling through time and space?
Let Huangwei just say it.
Huang Wei had no choice but to retreat, leaving only the old medical officer and Li Changan.
Then he said slowly.
…………
"The underground ditches in Qiantang are criss-crossed, intricate and hidden from the sky, and even ghost kings are entrenched in them. The locals often talk about it with disgrace and dare not get even a little closer. I am the only one who can lead people to dive into the ditches and use them to pass through the streets.
, to avoid wandering gods. Hasn’t Taoist Priest ever been curious?”
Huang Tail asked a completely irrelevant question.
Li Changan knew his fault. People who have read a few books always talk a lot of nonsense.
Nod in cooperation.
He was indeed a little curious.
"Then let's talk about it from the beginning."
Huang Wei's eyes were blank for a moment, his mind sank into memories, and he unconsciously put on his usual smooth and flattering smile.
"There is a big ghost in Cave City, known as the 'Capture Messenger', who specializes in catching living souls and collecting dead ghosts for the King of Ghosts. Unfortunately, I fell into his hands during my lifetime."
Both listeners looked surprised.
As the saying goes: Once you fall into a hole, you will never be reborn.
Unexpectedly, there was a lucky man in front of him who escaped and ascended to heaven.
"When I was alive, I was very clever, and everyone in the Tang Dynasty knew it. The 'catcher' thought that I had exquisite orifices and could be a good hunting dog, so he took my soul, stuffed it into the body of a yellow dog, and bound it with a spell.
.”
"From then on, every late at night, driven by the 'messenger', I would either patrol the ditches to catch the unlucky ones who strayed into the cave city; or I would go up to the human world to hunt down the 'idiots' who dared to offend the Ghost King.
.”
"I am better as a dog than as a human, so much so that when the 'catcher' got tired of training dogs, he was not willing to take my life. Instead, I followed the opportunity, broke away from the dog, and escaped from the cave city."
As he spoke, Huang Wei's body couldn't help but tremble slightly. It was obvious that the experience was not as light as in his words, but he still kept his spirits up.
"When my soul returned home, thanks to my wife who never left me, my body was still there, and I still had one breath left. It's funny that I was so happy that I wanted to return to my body. But when my soul returned to my body, it was as if I had thrown myself into molten iron, and there was severe pain all over my body.
!”
Medical Officer Lu's expression perked up. This symptom was very similar to A Zhi's.
"Finally, I couldn't bear the pain anymore, and I escaped from my soul. I didn't know the reason at the time, so I had to hide in my home without any human beings or ghosts. Until one day, I accidentally looked at myself in the mirror..."
He suddenly stood up, stood in the middle of the room, crossed his hands and said, "Don't be offended if you dirty your eyes."
Then he took off his pants.
Under the surprised gazes of the two people, there was actually a short tail with sparse yellow hair growing on his tailbone.
He grinned, as if smiling.
"So I changed from Huang Shanjun to Huangwei!"
Li Changan was silent, but Medical Officer Lu said in surprise:
"Huang Shanjun?! You are the 'second most romantic and most unscrupulous' Huang Shanjun!"
Huang Wei bent down and crossed his hands again: "Whether it's romantic or unworthy, Huang Shanjun is a human being. What does it have to do with Huang Wei who is a ghost? Why should the medical officer mention it again?"
He didn't want to say anything, and Medical Officer Lu didn't want to ask further, so he just said, "Later."
"Later, my wife had to leave for some reason, and my house in the city was taken away by the creditor."
Having said this, Huang Wei looked a little unnatural.
"My body was also thrown as a corpse into the mass graves beside Feilai Mountain outside the city. I dragged it back and hid it in the ditches in the city. I am very familiar with these ditches. No one can find them, except some mice and wild animals.
Dogs come to eat. When rats come, they become my meal. When wild dogs come, they bite. I was once a good hunting dog, how can I be afraid of it?"
He raised his eyebrows as if telling a joke.
"Alas, it's a pity that it doesn't help after all. I stayed by my body, watching myself gradually die day by day, and finally the living soul turned into a dead ghost."
"I was confused for a long time. It wasn't until I met Mr. Hua and was taken in by his old man that I found a new way to 'live'."
He sighed a few times and waved his hands again and again.
"You've said too much and gone astray. What do these words have to do with today's events?"
It's rare to be honest, so I use myself as an example to make a conclusion.
"The living soul changes with the animal body, and then returns to the human body. If the soul does not fit the body, how can it not hurt?"
…………
There was a long silence in the room.
until.
"Alas~"
Medical Officer Lu sighed, breaking the silence.
"My previous words have offended many people. Don't blame me, Mr. Huang. I still have one question."
Huang Tail bowed repeatedly.
"How dare you call me husband? Isn't it just a bad thing? If the medical officer asks, he will definitely tell you everything."
This behavior made the old medical officer frown: "I saw nothing strange about the girl's soul before. Even if there is, how can we treat her if the soul is not flesh and blood?"
Since Huang Wei has spoken at length, of course he already has a clue.
"My transformation is like a hair, which can be seen with the naked eye. A Zhi's transformation is like a wax, and one has to open his mind to see it."
"As for the cure, it's quite simple."
"Change your heart."
This is what he replied.
…………
Huang Wei was right what he said before.
Looking into the soul and looking at the heart is a strange thing.
Wouldn't it be weird to exchange a good heart for a bad heart?
"No!"
Medical Officer Lu slammed the table on the spot.
"How can one be killed to save one's life?"
Li Changan also wanted to agree, but then he thought about it, with Huang Wei's character, how could he take the initiative to say such offending words. After thinking about it for a while, it suddenly became clear.
"That's not a bad idea."
Before the old medical officer had an attack, Li Changan hurriedly explained to him. The old man's expression gradually softened, and he finally sighed while stroking his beard.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. How can a doctor have a parent's heart and watch a little baby die of pain?"
He stood up and said "wait a moment", and Feng Feng Huo Huo left. After a while, Feng Feng Huo Huo came back with a bamboo box in his hand.
Open it up.
There are three-edged needles wrapped in oilcloth, flat-blade knives, moon-blade knives, scissors, tweezers, pipes, saws, axes and other tools.
"When I was young, I had read through "Treatise on the Causes and Symptoms of Diseases", "Liu Juanzi's Ghost Prescriptions", "Guidelines for the Treatment of Ulcer Syndrome", "Surgery Authentic" and other famous medical books. When I was in my prime, I served in the army and was used to seeing all kinds of things.
Sores and carbuncles are treated by metal wounds. When it comes to administering acupuncture and medication, China's hands may not be able to do it; but when it comes to scraping off rotten limbs and opening the abdomen to connect the intestines, it is beyond the reach of others!"
"Eh?!" Huang Wei skillfully expressed his shock, "Don't you think that little Fuguifang actually hides a rare surgical master in the world!"
The old man accepted it calmly, and then his expression darkened.
"But there is a little bit."
"Doctor Dan said."
He brushed his hand over the bamboo box. The tools were still sharp, but the box had accumulated dust.
"I'm old."
…………
A Zhi bathed in the sunset.
The illusive little face gradually solidified, and shadows slowly grew under his feet.
It didn't take long for him to "alive" again.
The soul is filled with light and gives birth to flesh.
No matter how many times he watches it, Li Changan will always be amazed by the wonderful changes in yin and yang unique to Qian and Tang Dynasties.
Not to mention A Zhi.
The little girl tried to step on her own shadow.
Very happy.
"Mom, look, I have a shadow again!"
Mrs. Tao smiled lovingly and nodded, but her eyes were filled with concern as she looked at Li Changan.
The Taoist priest nodded, used magic to disperse A Zhi's consciousness, and sent her into the room.
In the temporarily arranged operating room.
He Wumei grabbed the "scalpel" and stood frozen beside the "operating table", mumbling something.
Li Changan brought A Zhi to the stage and listened.
"Whenever you start to sew the sores, the name is vertical and horizontal, the chicken tongue is separated from the corner, and the horizontal direction is not right, there is also a way to sew. When it comes to yin and yang, go up and down in reverse, and look forward quickly and slowly."
What? Sores?
Li Changan quickly walked to Dr. Lu, who was acting as the surgical guide, and asked him in a low voice:
"Didn't I say that Wu Niang has obtained all your true inheritance?"
"Don't worry, kid. Wu Niang is quite talented in medicine. Although she is born as a girl, she is a little weak in chopping bones and sawing limbs, but her hands are skillful and steady. She is already better at peeling off fascia and scraping away rotten poison."
"Has she had surgery before?"
"I've butchered chickens and ducks, and occasionally dug out a few live fish."
"What?!"
"Shh."
Li Changan was very helpless, but now that the matter had come to this, what else could be done? He couldn't find a barber or a pig butcher. He Wumei was the best choice.
He had no choice but to stand by with his talisman, ready to take action at any time.
Fortunately, He Wumei is indeed very talented as Dr. Lu said.
After taking a few deep breaths, the whole person was fully focused, and the knife was precise and neat.
After all, the soul body is not a real body of flesh and blood. After cutting the skin, there is no flesh and blood, only the texture is visible.
Successfully opened the chest.
Ah Zhi's heart is right in front of everyone's eyes.
Although Li Changan was used to seeing corpses, he didn't have the habit of digging out the heart and liver and looking through them carefully, so he couldn't tell why.
On the other hand, Medical Officer Lu was rich in experience and could see it at a glance.
"This is a sheep's heart, not a human heart."
Huang Wei is right, the disease lies in the heart, and it is necessary to use "good intentions" to avoid "bad intentions".
The soul is not the body, so there is no need to worry about blood loss, rejection, let alone infection. After some effort, He Wumei successfully replaced A Zhi with a "good heart".
I usually use mulberry thread for suturing, but it is not suitable for the soul body, so I used Ah Zhi's hair.
Finally, there was Li Changan. He collected Yin Qi and Yang Qi, supplemented them with magic talismans, and blew them alternately on the incision site.
Not long after.
My heart is still intact.
in this way.
A ridiculous and bizarre soul-exchange surgery was completed in such a crude way!
…
Send away Mrs. Tao, who was grateful for so much.
The sky is already dusk.
You can see plumes of smoke rising from all over Qiantang.
Those are all bonfires lit by various houses to worship lonely souls.
The "Hungry Ghost Festival" for the living is coming to an end, and the "Ghost Festival" for the dead is coming.
Huang Wei was very anxious, fearing that he would be late and not get a share of the good pork.
Li Changan asked him to calm down. Regarding this operation, the patients, doctors, assistants, and relatives had all left, but the donor could not say a word. Wouldn't it be a pity.
He walked towards the donor and instigator, a dwarf nicknamed "Ghost Monkey".
The joints of his limbs were locked with iron chains, and short nails were used to drive the talisman into the heavenly spirit, blocking the five senses and completely locking his soul in the body.
It was like a corpse lying on the stage without making any sound.
The Taoist priest unveiled the yellow talisman.
Ha~ah~
The dwarf suddenly "resurrected" and let out a long gasp with his throat open.
His soul is in his body, and the pain caused by the "Sheep Heart" is quite a bit, but it was sealed before and did not show up. But now that the yellow talisman is unveiled, the accumulated pain pours out.
Immediately, my body couldn't help but convulse, and the muscles were like earthworms scurrying under the skin.
However, he endured it and did not cry out. Instead, despite the severe pain, he forced out a weird and ferocious smile.
"It turns out that you, a Taoist priest, also like to use Naigong's sorcery, but it's a pity that you can't do it. If you kneel down and kowtow three times, Naigong will accept you as his disciple. I will teach you how to change your parents, relatives and friends into the bodies of animals."
Heart, liver, spleen and lungs, when they are in pain like death, the flesh is the most dense, how about cutting it off and serving it to you and me with wine?!"
He laughed loudly as he spoke.
Li Changan wasn't angry either, and let him laugh until he gradually stopped laughing.
"I thought that although you are crazy, you still have a strong mind. Could it be that you also use harsh words to provoke others in order to die quickly?"
The dwarf laughed suddenly, closed his eyes, and stopped talking.
"What? Is the retribution too quick and speechless?"
"retribution?"
The dwarf opened his eyes suddenly, whether it was pain or anger, his eyes were red and veins were bulging, he looked more like a ghost than Li Changan.
"Only report the seller, not the buyer? What kind of retribution is this? So ridiculous!"
Now it was the Taoist priest's turn to have nothing to say.
The dwarf clenched his cheeks, biting his rotten teeth together, causing blood to escape.
"Why talk so much, just beg for death!"
Li Changan smiled coldly: "Why not be more patient?"
"Ah Zhi is not the only child who has been poisoned by you. Don't be anxious, the soul you are waiting for still has its uses."
