Chapter 378: Ancient Ghost Clan
Long Ye stretched out his right hand in disbelief, then slowly opened his five fingers; he truly felt as if he were dreaming. Previously, his arm would ache to the core at the slightest movement, but now he could move his hand freely.
This feeling was truly too good; he never wanted to be a half-dead cripple again.
"Why don't you hurry up and thank Mr. Chen?" Long Jihai stared at his son.
Suddenly, Long Ye stood up, then fell to his knees before Chen Yu with a thud. He wept bitterly and said, "Mr. Chen, it was my fault before. I beg you to heal my other arm as well; I guarantee I will be a good person from now on."
"You must remember what you said today. I can heal your arms, and I can just as easily destroy them. If I find out you are doing evil again in the future, I will make sure you lie in bed forever and never get up."
Chen Yu grabbed his left hand with his right, then moved both hands in succession. With a few crackling sounds, the guy's left hand was instantly restored. He scrambled up, exercised his hands, and thanked Chen Yu incessantly.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen. I guarantee he will behave himself from now on. My daughter is seriously ill; please come inside and take a look at her," Long Jihai said respectfully.
Chen Yu followed Long Jihai into a room, where he met Long Jihai's daughter, Long Jing.
She was sixteen or seventeen years old and naturally very beautiful, but due to the torture of her illness, her face was frighteningly pale, and her body was extremely thin. There was a wound on her arm, which was used for dialysis.
Chen Yu stared at Long Jing for a long time; he was somewhat puzzled. Long Jing's illnesses did not seem like kidney disease.
Finally, he grabbed Long Jing's hand and carefully took her pulse.
"Jingjing, this is Mr. Chen. He is here to treat your illness. Don't worry, with Mr. Chen here, your illness will surely get better very soon," Long Jihai comforted her.
Chen Yu took her pulse for a long time and already had an idea in his mind. He turned his head and said to Luo Huichun, "You take a look too."
"Yes, Master." Luo Huichun nodded slowly, walked forward, and grabbed Long Jing's wrist.
After finishing the pulse check, Luo Huichun nodded and said, "Master, I have finished looking."
"Tell me your insights," Chen Yu smiled.
"Judging solely from the pulse, the young lady of the Long Family is suffering from an invasion of external evil that has lingered and refused to heal for a long time. This has led to the stagnation of the kidney meridians, causing the failure of Qi transformation, and preventing the circulation of Qi and blood."
"The kidney has lost its function of governing water, thus resulting in edema. This is what Western Medicine calls uremia caused by severe kidney failure."
"Not bad. Judging solely from the pulse, these are indeed the symptoms of uremia, but her illness is not uremia caused by traditional kidney disease," Chen Yu said.
"She doesn't have kidney disease? Mr. Chen, these are the hospital's test reports; the results cannot be wrong," Long Jihai was shocked and hurriedly took out some test results and dialysis documents.
"I know that, but I naturally have my own insights," Chen Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Long, before your daughter got sick, did she go anywhere?"
"She has been sick for two years. Two years ago, it seems she went out on a trip by herself..." Long Jihai pondered, "It seems she went to explore some mountain in the north."
"Was she alone?" Chen Yu asked.
"Yes, she was alone. She has a rather strong-willed personality. Since she was a child, I raised her like a boy. She has her own subjective consciousness; when she was five, she trekked across the Gobi Desert by herself," Long Jihai nodded.
"Do you know what place she went to?" Chen Yu asked again.
"I'm not very clear on that. It was a rather obscure primeval forest, almost isolated from the world," Long Jihai said. "What's wrong, Mr. Chen? Does the place she went to have any connection to her illness?"
"It has a great connection." Chen Yu grabbed with his right hand, and two Talisman Papers appeared in his hand. An obscure Dao Seal was already formed, and the two Talisman Papers suddenly lit up.
Chen Yu turned around abruptly and slapped the two Talisman Papers onto Long Jing's body with one palm, one on her forehead and the other on her chest.
As the two Talisman Papers were slapped down by his hand, Long Jing, who was lying on the bed, suddenly screamed. She sat up abruptly and reached out to tear at Chen Yu.
But Chen Yu pressed her down heavily with one palm. Thud—Long Jing fell back onto the bed. She let out a roar like a wild beast, her eyes were blood-red, and at the same time, black Qi rose from her body.
"Who are you? Why are you meddling in other people's business?" Long Jing's eyes were wide open, and a mass of black Qi wandered incessantly over her body. At the same time, the two Talisman Papers on her body lit up with a faint glow, constantly consuming this black Qi.
"Mr. Chen, this..." Long Jihai was shocked. Long Jing's complexion was now gray and defeated, and veins like earthworms appeared on her forehead and arms; she looked terrifying.
"Don't go forward, she is possessed," Luo Huichun grabbed Long Jihai, "Back away."
"Possessed? How... how could she be possessed?" Long Jihai was extremely alarmed.
"My master is proficient in Talisman and Incantation arts; there is no mistake. Think about it, how long has it been since your daughter spoke a word to you?" Luo Huichun shouted.
"It seems... it has been a long time." Long Jihai suddenly remembered that after his daughter got sick, she sat alone most of the time.
And sometimes she would come out in the middle of the night to wander in the courtyard. He only thought she was in a bad mood because she was sick, but he never thought she had provoked something unclean.
"Get out!" Chen Yu shouted in a deep voice.
"You dare to ruin my good deed? Do you know who I am?" Long Jing's voice was extremely terrifying and sinister; her voice seemed to come from the Youming Hell.
"Who are you?" Chen Yu grabbed with his right hand, and Lichen appeared in his hand. With a shake of Lichen, a dragon's roar hummed, and the piercing sword sound made Long Jing's screams even louder.
"You are not qualified to ask who I am. Get out, don't meddle in other people's business!" The hissing sound grew even more intense.
"Sorry, I really am going to see this matter through to the end." Chen Yu suddenly parted his hands, and the Lichen in his hand suddenly turned into a phantom.
Lichen can divide Heaven and Earth and sever Yin and Yang. The Lichen in Chen Yu's hand had now transformed into the Yin Sword mode; this mode can sever Yin Spirits.
Hum—with a swing of Lichen, the sword in his hand pierced heavily into Long Jing's chest, passing through it.
But Long Jing's body did not suffer any injury. With a puff, a mass of black Qi dissipated, and at the same time, a hiss sounded in mid-air: "Chen Yu, I am an Underworld Citizen of the Ghost Kingdom. You dare to kill me... you will surely meet a miserable end!"
"Ghost Kingdom, Underworld Citizen?" Chen Yu frowned. He pulled out the sword in his hand, and with a boom, a mass of black Qi dissipated.
"Mr. Chen, this..." The expression on Long Jihai's face was uncertain.
"It's fine. Little Luo, write some prescriptions. Focus on dispelling evil and nourishing Yang to regulate the Yin and Yang Qi in her body. She has been possessed by that thing for too long, and her body is very weak," Chen Yu said.
