Chapter 61: This is the Love Gu

"Huang Lao, I have carefully reviewed your examination results. There is no abnormality in your body, and in fact, you are in better health than most people your age." Zhang Yiren stared at these test results for a long time, but simply could not find anything abnormal.

"As for your chief complaint of chest tightness and stabbing pain, we cannot rule out psychological causes. How about this: we can schedule an MRI to thoroughly investigate the cause. However, my advice is for you to relax and try to be more cheerful."

"I am a person who recites Buddha's name; what could I possibly be unable to let go of in my heart? Forget it." Huang Siye shook his head slightly: "Mr. Duan, what do you think my situation is?"

"Fourth Master, looking at your life path and destiny, you do not have the appearance of someone short-lived. I can assert that you will live to at least ninety." Duan Tianming frowned and said: "Perhaps it really is as this Yisheng says, and it is a psychological cause."

"If it were truly a psychological cause, Huang Lao would not have sought the two of you out. Huang Lao, can you recall what happened back then?" Chen Yu and Huang Yiqiang walked in.

"Old Master, Mr. Chen has arrived. Don't worry, my brother here is definitely no ordinary person; he will certainly have a way," said Huang Yiqiang.

"Are you implying that my degree from the foreign Academy of Sciences is just for show?" Zhang Yiren looked furious. He was a dignified medical doctor, a top student who graduated from a foreign Academy of Sciences—to be belittled like this?

"Hmph, is this person brought by the young master of the Huang Family also a 'Master'?" Duan Tianming also gave an unhappy huff.

"I am not a Master, nor am I a Yisheng, but it just so happens that I know a little bit about Feng Shui, Metaphysics, Life, Appearance, and Medicine," Chen Yu said with a faint smile.

"You dare to act arrogant here just because you know a little? You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth." Both of them looked at him with disdain.

"Mr. Chen, I have troubled you to make another trip. What happened back then was my fault, but forty years have already passed. I wonder if you have a way to break it?"

Seeing Chen Yu, Huang Siye sat up from the bed, cupped his hands slightly toward Chen Yu and said: "My life is in your hands, Mr. Chen."

The expressions of Zhang Yiren and Duan Tianming became even uglier.

What kind of person was Huang Siye? In his earlier years, he was a legendary existence in Fengling. Even though he had long since retired from the world of martial arts, as long as he gave an order, the leaders of Fengling and the surrounding cities would all come running.

The two of them were also long-renowned figures, yet when they arrived just now, Huang Siye had not treated them with such courtesy.

"So you are an expert. It was my mistake. It seems Fourth Master's situation still has to rely on you to solve it. Why don't you tell us, what is Fourth Master's current situation?" Duan Tianming gave a cold snort.

"Stabbing pain in the heart, caused by the Seven Emotions. I previously told Fourth Master that this is the Heart-Devouring Gu. In the Nine Li region of Xiangnan, deep within the mountains, there is an ancient tribe known as the Witch Clan. Legend has it they are the descendants of the Demon God Chiyou and are proficient in Gu Technique."

"This type of Heart-Devouring Gu is the Love Gu of young women from the Gu Clan. If there is no mistake, Fourth Master met a young woman from the Gu Clan forty years ago and pledged his love with a Gu..."

"Nonsense! I have traveled far and wide. While I dare not say I have heard of every strange tale in the world, my experience is at least better than the average person's. How have I never heard of this Witch Clan you speak of?" Duan Tianming sneered.

"Fourth Master actually believes in these superstitious things. This kid must be spouting nonsense; there is no scientific basis at all," Zhang Yiren also scolded.

"Mr. Chen is right. I did meet a woman from the Witch Clan and we pledged our lives to each other. Back then, I borrowed the power of the Witch Clan to build my vast empire, promising to go back and find her once I became successful. But later, I got married and had children, so I never went back."

Huang Siye's expression was dim: "I gradually forgot about what happened back then. She also told me that if I didn't return, one day the Heart-Devouring Gu would act up, and at that time, it would take my life."

"That is correct. That witch from back then was deeply in love with Fourth Master. Because the activation time of the Heart-Devouring Gu can be long or short, if you didn't return, she could have activated the Main Gu to take your life at any time, but she set the activation time for forty years."

"She didn't want to hurt you; she was waiting for you the whole time, until she died..." Chen Yu said.

"It is I who failed her. In my life, Huang Si, although I have committed evil acts, my loyalty and righteousness outweighed my evils. I have a clear conscience, except for failing her," Huang Siye said, tears streaming down his face.

"Brother Chen, do you have any way to fix this? My grandfather cannot have anything happen to him," Huang Yiqiang said anxiously.

"It's fine, the problem is not major. I am already prepared," Chen Yu smiled slightly.

He took out a Wolf Hair Brush, Cinnabar, one yellow and one red piece of Talisman Paper, and brought over a bowl of clear water.

Dipping the Wolf Hair Brush into the Cinnabar, Chen Yu took a deep breath. His hand moved like a god's, and after a moment, two Talismans, one yellow and one red, were drawn.

Picking up the Talismans, Chen Yu flicked his hands, and the Talismans ignited on their own. He placed the burning Talismans into the clear water. With a 'Boom—', the Talismans burned upon touching the water, and a moment later, the two Talismans dissolved into the water.

The bowl of clear water remained incredibly clear, without any paper ash.

"Talisman Water Technique?" Duan Tianming's expression changed slightly, and his gaze toward Chen Yu shifted instantly.

"Fourth Master, drink this water, and the Love Gu will be expelled on its own," Chen Yu said, holding up the bowl of water.

"Absurd," Zhang Yiren shouted from the side: "Are you trying to poison Fourth Master to death?"

"One must be responsible for what they say. I am saving Fourth Master," Chen Yu glanced at Zhang Yiren: "If I am not mistaken, you are surely going to say that the Cinnabar I used to draw the Talisman is poisonous."

"Isn't it? The main substance in your Cinnabar is mercuric sulfide. This stuff causes nerve damage, and in serious cases, it can cause circulatory failure and death. You are having someone drink this; aren't you harming them?"

Zhang Yiren said angrily: "And you claim you know Medicine? Someone who doesn't even know this bit of common medical sense knows Medicine?"

"If Fourth Master doesn't believe me, just pretend I never came," Chen Yu spread his hands. He could not explain things to a person like this.

"No need to say more, I trust Mr. Chen." Huang Siye did not hesitate; he took the bowl of water and drank it down in one gulp.

After drinking it, Fourth Master's brows locked together. His abdomen rumbled like a Thunderclap. He clutched his lower abdomen, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead in large beads.

"Old Master, are you alright?" Huang Yiqiang looked at Huang Siye nervously.

Huang Siye waved his hand to signal he was fine. Suddenly, he had a fit of violent coughing, and immediately after, he spat out a mouthful of black blood.

This mouthful of black blood contained blood clots, and something seemed to be wriggling inside them. Huang Yiqiang stepped forward to look, and it was several insects with six eyes. These insects wriggled for a moment, let out a faint squeaking sound, and then shriveled up and died.

"What is this thing? How is this possible?" Zhang Yiren was shocked. He had an urge to collect these insects for testing.
