Volume 1: Peaceful Childhood Chapter 29: Gu Parasite

  The old master's room was very large, the furniture and so on were very simple but had a grand air. The lights in the house were all turned on, Yun Qingran looked at the tightly closed windows with dissatisfaction, frowning:

  "Open all the windows, a patient's room needs ventilation, such simple common sense is unknown." The tone was light, but still managed to convey strong dissatisfaction.

  "The doctor said the old man can't see wind." A little nurse who had been waiting in the room frowned and said to Yun Qingran. Who knows where this kid came from, daring to interrupt at will.

  "It's better to listen to him, no need to see the patient." Yun Qingran said and ignored the little nurse who was glaring at her with anger, the silk from her sleeve shot out and wrapped around the patient's wrist, but it was retracted in an instant.

  "You open the window and go down by yourself." Wang Lei saw that the little nurse was still stunned there, and he impatiently waved his hand, turning his head to look at Yun Qingran. It turned out that she had just spoken out about his physical condition because she had taken his pulse with silk threads, but the time was too short and he hadn't noticed it.

  In traditional Chinese medicine, it's all about observation and inquiry. The old man's facial complexion was observed to be as radiant as Master Yun had described. A pair of snow-white gloves were put on, and with a swift movement, the doctor landed beside the patient's bed, prying open their eyelids. Indeed, a small blood spot appeared in the center of the pupil, but it was so tiny that ordinary people wouldn't have noticed it, which is why Master Yun hadn't detected it either.

  Put away your gloves, Yun Qingran led the way down.

  "How is it? Can it be cured?" Wang Lei asked hastily as soon as he sat down on the sofa.

  "Is there anyone in your family who has committed a crime?" Without answering his question, Yun Qingran asked another one instead.

  "What does it mean?" Wang Lei was taken aback and asked.

  "Your father has been possessed by a Gu, I hope you can resolve the person behind the scenes before coming to find me again. I don't want to be remembered by others. This bottle of medicine, one pill every three days, can suppress the Gu poison for a month. You deal with the person behind the scenes and come back to see me, if not, then don't come back. I'm tired, send me and your grandfather back." After finishing speaking, she ignored Wang Lei's expression and pulled Cloud Old Master towards the door, walking away on her own. She didn't want to bring trouble to her family because of unrelated people when she didn't have enough power yet.

  As they walked away, a man sitting on the sofa spoke up when he felt that Old Man Yun and the other person were out of earshot: "Big Brother, was it really their doing?" It seemed as if he knew who it was.

  "Maybe it is, maybe it isn't." Wang Lei called over his subordinate, "A Hai, go check if they've had any contact with a mysterious person recently?"

  "Big brother, what if it's not him or we can't find the person who cast the spell?" The woman sitting opposite the man asked.

  "Just tell that little girl that the person is already dead in two days, okay?" The man looked at the woman opposite him with a disdainful gaze.

  "Don't you know that you can tell from the pulse whether the Gu worm is being controlled by someone or not?" The woman retorted, her disdain in her eyes even stronger.

  Wang Lei was thinking of a solution, but the quarrel between his second brother and third sister made him feel annoyed. "Enough, now the most important thing is to find the person who cast the spell, nothing else matters." His father was the one with the highest martial arts skills in the family, if he couldn't be cured, the Wang family would be suppressed by their rivals and become a third-rate family, and their old enemies would also come knocking on their door.

  "Just tie up that little girl and let her treat me then." The man said carelessly.

  At these words, Wang Lei was startled and his eyelids jumped, "You are not allowed to lay a hand on the Yun family."

  "Why? Isn't it just a little girl?" The woman asked somewhat puzzled, isn't it usually like this?

  "The master of Yun Jia, or more accurately, the master of that little girl is not simple. You haven't noticed, when that little girl took her pulse, she used Tian Can silk, which is said to be impervious to water and fire, and cannot be penetrated by knives or guns. Someone who can bring out such a treasure must not be a simple character. Moreover, the little girl herself is also not simple. To make such fine silk threads fly so far, and yet make people unaware that they are wrapped around their wrists, this skill is something even I cannot do." Wang Lei's tone was full of admiration, but also deep frustration and helplessness. Someone who was just a few years old, a little girl, was actually more formidable than him, someone who had studied for decades.

  "Big brother, is what you said really that severe?" The man didn't quite believe it. Even though his family was only a second-rate aristocratic household, he had never heard of someone so demonic before.

  "Of course, she must have used the silk thread to take my pulse from afar; otherwise, how could she have known about my condition from such a distance? I only thought of this later when I saw her taking Father's pulse."

  Upon hearing this, both the man and woman nodded in agreement. Since force cannot be used, they can only make friends. A good traditional Chinese medicine doctor, especially one who is skilled in martial arts and has studied medicine, holds great significance for anyone who practices martial arts. People who practice martial arts not only get injured when fighting with others but also often get hurt during their own training, and those injuries cannot be treated by hospitals, which is why they rely on these doctors.

  In the car, Old Master Yun kept staring at Yun Qingran who had her eyes closed. Feeling Old Master Yun's gaze, Yun Qingran reluctantly opened her eyes.

  "Grandfather, if you have any questions, just ask."

  "Is there really such a thing as gu poison in this world?" Cloud Old Master asked, somewhat disbelieving.

  "There is, but it's very rare."

  "Alas." Old Master Yun sighed, his mood somewhat downcast.

  Yun Qingran knew that Yun Lao Ye's low mood was because he had gotten himself into these troubles. So many doctors couldn't diagnose the illness, and with her words earlier, it seemed like she was afraid of putting her family in danger. After thinking for a moment, she explained:

  "I just said to let them handle the people behind the scenes, because I found out that the Gu insect is still being controlled by the person who cast the spell. Once the person who cast the spell dies, the other party will not be implicated in us either, and it will also become easier for me to cure the patient of the Gu. Moreover, with the jade pendant I gave you last time, ordinary Gu insects can't harm you, at least not that one from today."

  With Yun Qingran's explanation, Old Master Yun's mood improved a bit.

  At night, Yun lightly returned to the space and thought about this matter. As for the martial arts world, she had just begun to get in touch with it. Now that her own family couldn't even protect themselves, she decided to set up a few arrays to protect their home.

  Tonight, I won't cultivate anymore. I'll set up a protective array for Yunfu and test what I've learned. First, I'll go to the Treasure Pavilion to retrieve the required low-grade spirit stones, then take a few medium-grade spirit stones and one high-grade spirit stone to use as the array eye and central array eye.

  Come outside, choose your own small courtyard as the center of the array eye and start setting up the formation, wrapping the entire Yunfu inside. First is a gathering spirit array, then set up an illusion array and a maze array on the outside, with a killing array in between the illusion array and the maze array. Normally, only opening the gathering spirit array and the illusion array would be enough.

  The formation method contains the mysterious door of concealment, even if she is as intelligent as she has been studying for so long, it's only to understand the primary formation method and a few intermediate formation methods derived from the primary formation method. The gathering spirit formation set up today is an intermediate formation method.

  Her cultivation is not very high, setting up intermediate formations is still a bit difficult for her, so by the time she finishes setting everything up, it's already past midnight.

  Take a look at tonight's sky, maybe it's far away from the city, with not too much pollution, the sky here is relatively blue, and you can still see the stars in the sky at night.

  It's been a long day anyway, Yun Qingran thought that she wouldn't go to the space to cultivate tonight, taking a break and relaxing her mood wasn't bad either.
