Chapter 128: Your Father Died With His Eyes Unclosed

"Doctor Chen, my father worked hard his whole life. He died suddenly before he could ever enjoy a good day. You are a Divine Doctor; you can bring the dead back to life. Please, do a good deed and save my father today," the young man said as he stepped forward.

"Hmph, your father worked hard his whole life, and even in death, he could still generate some profit for his son. I really wonder if he knows what's happening from beyond the grave, and if he's dying with his eyes wide open in regret," Chen Yu sneered.

"You are simply making a scene. Take the person away immediately, or I will call the police," Zhao Lao said angrily.

"Zhao Lao, we are here to have someone treated. What can you do even if you call the police?" Zhou Peng said with a chuckle. "I didn't come here today to smash your sign, but since Chen Yu bragged, he has to deliver."

"That's right. Isn't he capable of bringing the dead back to life? Go ahead and save him then," the few people Zhou Peng brought along sneered one after another.

"Call the police," Zhao Lao's face turned livid.

"No need, let me take a look," Chen Yu said with a smile.

"Chen Yu, are you crazy? They said themselves that the person has been dead for a day. What are you going to look at?" Zhao Anran said anxiously.

"It's fine, I'll just take a look. Maybe his father isn't dead yet?" Chen Yu said with a faint smile.

"That's right. Even if my uncle is dead, Chen Yu can bring him back to life. Let him take a look," Zhou Peng laughed loudly.

That was right; he was here today to cause trouble. He didn't believe Chen Yu could really bring someone back to life. A person who had been dead for a day—did he really have that kind of ability?

Chen Yu stepped forward and lifted the white cloth covering the deceased to take a look.

The person was indeed dead, with eyes half-open and a dark, bruised complexion. It was clear that he had been angry when he died, causing his heart to stop suddenly.

Chen Yu frowned. He could already see that although the deceased had suffered a sudden heart attack, it would not have been fatal if he had been rescued in time.

He looked at the deceased's son again, who had a dissolute appearance. He was likely a good-for-nothing scoundrel just like he used to be, eager for his own father to die early so he could inherit the family property.

"How did your father die?" Chen Yu asked.

"Sudden death," the young man sneered. "Can he still be saved? If you can bring my father back, I'll even call you Grandpa."

"Did he have a verbal altercation with anyone when he died suddenly?" Chen Yu asked again.

"No, he just died suddenly," the young man shook his head. "Can you save him or not? If you can't, just say so. Heh, you're good at bragging—'Divine Doctor', 'bringing the dead back to life'?"

"Speak the truth, otherwise the consequences will be very serious," Chen Yu smiled.

"I am speaking the truth. My filial piety is famous throughout the villages. How could I possibly make my father angry?" the young man said dismissively.

"Looking at your father's appearance, his face is dark and his lips are blue. There are three strands of baleful energy condensed in his forehead that won't dissipate. It is clear he was angered to death," Chen Yu said.

"What nonsense are you spouting? How could my father have been angered to death?" The young man's expression changed.

"Wait until I finish," Chen Yu waved his hand. "Furthermore, your father's eyes are half-open and half-closed; this is a case of dying with eyes unclosed. A person in this state has heavy resentment, so he might just come back, you know."

"What nonsense are you spouting? Just tell me if you can save him or not. Why are you dragging on so much?" The young man's expression changed.

He had a guilty conscience, so Chen Yu's words made him feel a bit unsettled.

"Haha, if your father suddenly sat up right now to scold you, what would you do?" Chen Yu laughed.

"Chen Yu, keep talking nonsense. He has been dead for over twenty-four hours; can he still sit up and scold people? Fine, keep stalling for time. I'll see how you get through today," Zhou Peng sneered.

"Then watch closely." Chen Yu extended his right hand, and a Yellow Paper Talisman appeared in his palm. As he channeled his True Qi into his right hand, the Talisman ignited on its own.

He tapped the deceased, and the deceased suddenly opened his mouth. Chen Yu pointed with his right hand, and the Talisman in his palm was stuffed into the deceased's mouth.

"What are you doing?" the young man roared.

"Don't you want to see someone brought back to life? I'll have your father get up and say a few words to you now, to see what kind of unfilial son you are," Chen Yu sneered. He moved his fingers ten times, performing the 'Invoking the Spirit and Sealing the Acupoints' technique, and finally tapped the deceased on the forehead: "Still not getting up?"

Following Chen Yu's final tap, the deceased, who had already gone cold, suddenly opened his eyes wide, and with a 'whoosh', sat up.

"Un... un... filial son."

A strange sound came from the deceased's throat, as if he were scolding someone.

"A corpse has reanimated..." The onlookers let out a 'boom' and all ran away.

"Dad..." The young man was scared silly, and the few people carrying the stretcher also scrambled away with a 'whoosh'.

"Unfilial son..."

The deceased suddenly got off the stretcher with a stiff body and began to walk forward with a stumbling gait. Strange sounds came from his throat, as if he were denouncing his unfilial son, or perhaps recounting his own fate.

"Dad, I was wrong." The young man was scared out of his wits. He fell to his knees with a 'thump': "I shouldn't have gambled, and I shouldn't have secretly sold the family's homestead."

"I shouldn't have made you angry, and I shouldn't have ignored you and locked the door when you were having your attack. Don't come after me, I'll burn more paper money for you."

"Your father can't even rest in peace after death. How much money did Mingshun Medical Hall pay you?" Chen Yu asked with a chuckle from the side.

"Dad, I was wrong. I should have let you be laid to rest. Mingshun Medical Hall gave me ten thousand yuan to bring you here to cause trouble. I was really wrong, please spare me." The young man's face turned dark with fear, and he lay on the ground trembling.

Zhou Peng's complexion was no better. Watching the dead man stand up and approach him step by step, he wanted to run, but his legs wouldn't listen to him.

Suddenly, he felt a warmth in his legs, and yellow liquid flowed down his legs. He had been scared to the point of wetting himself.

The deceased didn't actually walk many steps. He stood still in front of his son, then fell straight down. A puff of black energy emerged from his mouth, and then he was silent.

"Unfilial in life, your father died with his eyes unclosed. A breath of resentment is blocking his spirit aperture. Hurry and let him be laid to rest, otherwise, it will be troublesome when he comes back to find you on the Head Seven," Chen Yu glanced at the young man.

"Yes, yes, Doctor, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been greedy for that little bit of money. What should I do?" The young man's legs were weak with fear; he was truly terrified.

"Go home and bury your father, and change your bad habits in the future. Otherwise, he will die with his eyes unclosed. Your father worked hard for you his whole life. If you don't change, he will take you with him," Chen Yu said indifferently. "Hurry and take your father away."

"Yes, yes..." The young man was scared out of his mind. He mustered his courage, lifted his father onto the stretcher, and slunk away.

"Scared yourself wet?" Chen Yu walked up to Zhou Peng. This guy's legs were still weak, and he couldn't even move a step.

"Chen Yu, you, you..." Zhou Peng's face was deathly pale, and he stammered.

"I can't bring the dead back to life, but do you believe this? Even if you and your grandfather combined your medical skills, you wouldn't be as good as me. Now, get out of here immediately. If you dare to target Xinglinju again, I will make sure your Zhou Family has no place to stay in Fengling," Chen Yu said coldly.

"Hmph, Mingshun Medical Hall has a reputation, but they only know how to do underhanded things."

"That's right, those two aren't good people, and their medicine is so expensive."

"I'm going to cancel their membership right now."

The onlookers weren't stupid. Since things had reached this point, it was definitely Mingshun Medical Hall causing trouble, and they condemned Zhou Peng one after another.

Zhou Peng's expression was ugly. He didn't say a word, kept his legs pressed together, and left.

"Little Doctor Chen, was that man really dead? How did he suddenly jump up and walk?" someone asked with lingering fear.
