Chapter 785: This Is Possession by Evil

Furthermore, it is said that his ancestors were Talisman doctors who used Talisman Water to treat people's illnesses, but during the campaign to destroy the Four Olds, they were labeled as feudal superstition; it is fortunate that we are in a new society now, for if it were in the past, he would likely have been dragged out for public denunciation for saying these things.

"I am not muddled; everything I say is a conclusion reached based on my Li family's ancestral diagnostic methods," the old man said, huffing and puffing.

"This old gentleman is correct; Miss Zhou's situation belongs to being possessed by evil." Just at this moment, Chen Yu and Tang Xinyi pushed the door open and entered.

"Great-uncle, this is the Brother Chen I just told you about. He is a doctor and also possesses some unusual methods; he will definitely have a way to treat Cousin's illness," Tang Xinyi said to Zhou Lao.

Tang Xinyi's grandmother was Zhou Lao's younger sister, so she and the Zhou Family are considered cousins; although Tang Xinyi's grandmother has passed away over these years and contact with the Zhou Family has lessened, the relationship between the two families still remains.

"Young man, you also understand these things?" Li Lao asked excitedly.

To tell the truth, he has been practicing Medicine in this hospital for decades, and because his methods of treatment are unconventional—sometimes even using poison to fight poison—in the eyes of others, his medical skills are just folk remedies, and he is even considered superstitious.

Fortunately, the hospital director knows his medical skills, so he treats him well, and even after he retired, he was rehired.

But apart from this director, almost no one understands him, and very few people agree with his words; even the new interns are unwilling to follow him. Now that someone has finally appeared who can understand his words, it makes him extremely excited.

"I understand a little. The old gentleman's ancestors must have understood some Talisman Blessing Technique, right? If I am not mistaken, your ancestors used Talismans dissolved in water to treat people?" Chen Yu said with a smile.

"Yes, yes! When I was a child, I saw with my own eyes my grandfather use Talisman Water to cure a person who was on the verge of death." The old man's expression became even more excited: "Young man, you actually know about the Talisman Blessing Technique too?"

"I know a little. The old gentleman was right just now; Miss Zhou's situation belongs to external evil entering the body. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, external evil generally refers to pathology, such as wind, cold, summer heat, dampness, dryness, and pestilence invading the body to cause illness."

"But Zhou Xinyan's situation clearly does not belong to these, so the old gentleman's diagnosis of possession by evil is also correct, because Miss Zhou is indeed possessed by evil," Chen Yu said.

"It really is possession by evil? I knew it." The old man slapped his thigh: "The reason I didn't say it just now was because I was afraid of being attacked. A part of my medical skill is the ancestral Talisman Blessing; because the treatment situation is special, firstly it is not accepted by patients, and secondly, it does not conform to science. It is truly great that you can understand me, young man."

Li Lao was indeed very excited. He had worked in the hospital for decades, and in the eyes of others, he was just a weird old man because he always prescribed strange formulas. Now that he had met Chen Yu, it was like meeting a kindred spirit.

"Let's examine the patient first, and we can communicate properly later," Chen Yu said with a smile.

"Good, good. Zhou Lao, this young man is not simple; let him proceed. He will definitely be able to cure Miss Zhou's illness." Li Lao pulled Chen Yu forward.

"You are Xiao Chen? I have heard this girl mention you." A strange look appeared on Zhou Lao's face: "The child abduction case last time, was it solved by you and her together?"

"It was all Miss Zhou's credit; I was merely an assistant," Chen Yu said with a smile.

"Young man, you shouldn't be too humble." Zhou Lao snorted: "Do you know what is going on with Xinyan's illness?"

"Possession by evil," Chen Yu spat out the two words.

"Young man, you cannot speak recklessly. You say Miss Zhou is possessed by evil, but do you have any evidence?" That attending physician was somewhat displeased; after all, this was his home turf, and if it were truly an expert professor, he would have accepted it.

But Chen Yu was just a young man, and he started off by promoting the theory of possession by evil, which made him feel unpleasant no matter how he looked at Chen Yu.

"Identification is very simple. Miss Zhou's lower abdomen, back, and both arms should now have black-purple Snake Form marks. If you don't believe me, send someone in to take a look," Chen Yu said calmly.

"Xiao Zhang, go in and take a look." This doctor clearly did not believe him; he let a young nurse who was accompanying them go in to verify.

"Okay, Director Zhang." The young nurse nodded, walked into the ward, lifted Zhou Xinyan's quilt and clothes, and began to examine her.

As a result, the moment she rolled up Zhou Xinyan's sleeve, she couldn't help but gasp.

"What's wrong?" Director Zhang and the others over here hurried in to look.

They saw that on Zhou Xinyan's lifted left arm, there was indeed a black-purple Snake Form tattoo. This tattoo circled the inside of her arm, and although it was just a purple mark, it looked extremely ferocious.

Zhou Lao and Zhou Ming also followed in. Zhou Lao was stunned for a moment; he hurriedly grabbed Zhou Xinyan's other arm and rolled up her sleeve. His expression couldn't help but stiffen, as he saw that Zhou Xinyan's other arm also had a tattoo.

"Not on the lower abdomen?" The nurse lifted Zhou Xinyan's clothes and discovered there was no tattoo on the lower abdomen.

"It's on the back; this thing moves," Chen Yu said calmly.

Several doctors hurriedly helped Zhou Xinyan up and turned her body over, and then everyone's expressions froze at that moment.

They saw that on Zhou Xinyan's back, there was indeed a tattoo as thick as a child's arm. This tattoo was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, and it was slowly moving on the skin of her back.

Moreover, as this snake moved, some purple traces remained on Zhou Xinyan's skin.

"This, what is going on? Could it really be possession by evil?" That attending physician was truly dumbfounded; looking at the skin on Zhou Xinyan's body, he was shocked into a daze.

"I said it, this must be possession by evil," Li Lao slapped his thigh.

"Grandfather, my cousin, she..." Zhou Ming was stunned.

"Xiao Chen, you must have a way. Please, you must save Xinyan," Zhou Lao's expression was serious as he turned and said.

In fact, Zhou Lao had fought in the Vietnam War when he was young and had been a policeman for his whole life, so he had encountered many supernatural events; therefore, he was not actually resistant to the situation of being possessed by evil. He just couldn't believe that such a thing would actually happen to his own granddaughter.

"Please, everyone go out. Also, I need two large red roosters; they must be alive, and it is best if they are free-range chickens," Chen Yu said.

"Zhou Ming, go prepare them quickly," Zhou Lao ordered.

"Yes, Grandfather, I will go right now." Zhou Ming nodded hurriedly. Although it was midnight now, for the sake of his cousin's life, even if he had to turn Shengjing upside down, he would find two free-range chickens.

Li Lao stayed behind, firstly to act as Chen Yu's assistant, and secondly to witness just how profound Chen Yu's Talisman techniques were.

Chen Yu took out the Talisman Paper and dissolved it into Talisman Water; a cyan flame flashed and vanished, disappearing into the two bowls of water.

However, the two bowls of water were crystal clear, without a single speck of paper ash, which left Li Lao on the side staring in a daze: "Xiao Chen, how do you dissolve a Talisman into water without a single speck of paper ash?"
