Chapter 325

He followed the little girl through a few turns and arrived at a dilapidated house. Through the front door, he entered a small yard with some hens. After passing through the yard, he entered the central room. The lighting wasn't good and it looked dim.

Along the way, the little girl was crying. Shi Xuan didn't even ask for her name, but he heard her mention that the Divine Lord Temple didn't cure her of her illness. She had sold a hen for nothing.

He turned into a wing on the left. The moment he entered, he smelled the pungent smell of medicine. The windows were tightly shut, not allowing any wind to enter. There were very few furnishings in the room, and it was very dilapidated. A woman was lying on a very old bed. Her face was yellow and swollen, and she was tightly wrapped in a quilt.

Shi Xuan used the Qi Divination Technique to take a look and immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Although there was a lingering illness, it didn't harm her body's core. He picked up the Soul Enchanting Banner and swept it, absorbing all the illness from the woman's body.

Before the little girl could say anything to the Daoist uncle, she saw a black light brush past her mother's body. Then, she heard the Daoist uncle instruct, "Go open the windows and ventilate. Your mother is fine." Although she was very surprised, the precocious and sensible girl immediately ran to open the windows. Then, she ran back and squatted by the bed. She widened her eyes and looked at her mother, wanting to see what had happened.

A cool breeze blew in from the window. After a while, the woman on the bed moaned and slowly opened her eyes. She immediately heard her daughter say in her ear, "Mother, you're awake. Uncle Taoist said that you've recovered from your illness, is that right?"

Only then did the woman realize that her entire body was relaxed. Although she still felt weak, she felt unprecedentedly comfortable. She hurriedly turned her gaze over and saw a young Daoist sitting there. "Daoist, thank you very much. I'm not dressed properly, so it's inconvenient for me to get up. Please forgive me. I'll pay you later."

Shi Xuan waved his hand. "There's no need to compare the consultation fee. Madam, if you feel uneasy, then I have a few questions. I hope you can answer them with all your heart."

"Then please ask." The woman thought for a moment and didn't think there was anything wrong with answering a few questions.

Shi Xuan asked about the Divine Lord Chi Xia. Although the woman had been ill before the Divine Lord Temple was built, it wasn't too serious at that time, so she had heard some things. The Divine Lord Chi Xia came from Kaiyang City, and the surrounding towns were like this. When it was spread, the Divine Lord Temple was very overbearing. They forcefully occupied the Earth Temple and chased away the temple devotees. The government even supported them.

Later on, a few women who were eager to have children went to pray, and after a few months, they all became pregnant. This immediately shocked the people of the town, and gradually, the incense was flourishing. Even the women themselves sold their chickens to raise incense money to pray. Unfortunately, their illnesses became more and more serious. As for why it became a donation of property, no one knew.

When Shi Xuan heard this, he said to the woman, "En, there's no problem. I will be staying in the inn. If madam has any discomfort, you can ask the little girl to look for I." Then he smiled at the little girl and walked out.

He walked slowly to the courtyard. Outside the door, there were some people watching. They wanted to see if this demonic Daoist, uh, immortal, could really cure the illness of the widow, Lady Huang. An illness that even the Divine Lord Temple couldn't help with!

Shi Xuan looked at the people outside the door. In his heart, he was thinking about his future arrangements. He would use ruthless methods to shock the townspeople. He would break the image of the Divine Lord Temple being omnipotent and efficacious. He would lower the people's faith and reverence. In a short period of time, no one would harm their family. As long as he uprooted the Temple of the Divine Lord Chi Xia before the effects ended, this matter would be considered solved.

Just as he walked slowly to the door of the courtyard, he heard the call of the woman behind him. He turned around and saw the woman running out, panting. It was obvious that she had put on her clothes in a hurry. When she saw Shi Xuan looking over, she pointed at the hen and said, "Daoist, if you don't want the consultation fee, at least bring a hen with you. Otherwise, I would be an ungrateful person."

"Ah, look, look. This Lady Huang is cured. Even immortals can't be so fast!"

"She was lying on the bed on the verge of death. Now she's alive and kicking. My husband, I'm afraid this Daoist is really …"

"It's useless even if her family begged the Divine Lord. This Daoist, no, Immortal Elder, only knows this much. He's really omnipotent. He's even stronger than the Divine Lord."

"I say, that Divine Lord can't really be evil, right? Otherwise, how could there be such a powerful Daoist to go against him?"

※ ※ ※

The people outside the courtyard were like a pot of boiling oil. They had seen this Lady Huang with their own eyes. She was lying on the bed, unable to get up. The doctor only shook his head. The Divine Lord Temple was also helpless. But under the hands of this Daoist, she was no different from an ordinary person in less than a quarter of an hour. Miraculous. It was truly miraculous!

Shi Shuan glanced at the woman and said with a smile, "Then let's stew one. You and the little girl just remember to bring me a bowl. As for the rest, you guys can settle it yourselves. This is the request of my benefactor, so you are not allowed to object."

At this moment, a man and a woman walked in timidly. The moment they entered the door, they knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, "Daoist, Daoist, please save my child." They must have witnessed Lady Huang's recovery and were shocked.

Lady Huang walked forward and whispered into Shi Xuan's ear, "This is Zhang Daquan's house on the street. He has an only son who contracted tuberculosis a few days ago. He's coughing up blood. He's spent most of his wealth and it's still not recovering. It's useless to pray to the gods. I wonder if he's begged Divine Lord Chi Xia."

Zhang Daquan seemed to have heard Lady Huang's words. He hurriedly took half a step forward, "Daoist, Divine Lord Chi Xia, we've spent a lot of money but Li 'er still doesn't recover. If Daoist can cure him, we're willing to do anything!" After saying that, the man fell to the ground and cried bitterly. His wife was also wailing.

Shi Xuan thought about it. It could be considered as collecting sickness to increase the power of the Enchanted Banner. He nodded to the two, "Get up. Bring I to your house."

Zhang Daquan and his wife immediately thanked the heavens and stood up. They brought Shi Xuan to their house. Their family's circumstances were similar to Lady Huang's. They were both relatively poor. Many parts of the house were empty. Some parts of the house were even left with traces of furniture.

He followed the couple into a room. As soon as he entered, he heard the child coughing. Zhang Daquan's wife immediately went forward to help the child.

Shi Xuan looked up. The child was twelve or thirteen years old. He didn't look sick. However, his Qi was weak. It was obvious that the source of his body had been damaged.

At this time, he couldn't use the Enchanted Banner to treat the child. Luckily, Shi Xuan had some knowledge of herbology and the structure of the human body's meridians. He sat on the bed and felt the child's pulse. It was strong and powerful. He actually had inner strength!

Shi Xuan understood the cause of the child's illness. He turned to Zhang Daquan and said, "You and your wife can go out for a while. I am going to use my secret technique. No one else can see it."

Perhaps the fact that he had cured Lady Huang was too shocking. Zhang Daquan and his wife left the room without any objections and closed the door.

At this time, Shi Xuan suddenly asked the child named Zhang Li, "Where did your inner strength come from?"

Zhang Li was about to see what kind of secret technique this strange Daoist was going to use. When he suddenly heard the question, it was as if the big secret hidden in his heart was suddenly exposed in front of someone else. His face turned red and he stammered, "What, what, inner strength? Cough, you, you don't care me. You don't care where I got my inner strength!"

Shi Xuan looked at him as if he was looking at a dying man. He said, "Believe it or not, if you don't tell me and don't stop practicing, you won't live for more than three months!"

"Stinky Daoist, you, cough, you're talking nonsense!" Because of his tuberculosis, Zhang Li was already very scared. At this time, he became agitated.

Shi Xuan didn't say anything. He just continued to stare at him with the same gaze. Zhang Li looked at him for a moment and then lowered his head. Later, he couldn't help but say, "Cough, cough, I, I'll tell you."

It turned out that a few months ago, Zhang Li and his friends went to play in the mountains. They picked some fruits and vegetables to support their family. Who knew that they would accidentally fall down a cliff. Fortunately, they were blocked by a big tree. They also found a cave with a martial arts secret manual and a bottle of pills inside.

Zhang Li was excited. In the past, he often heard the passing Jianghu people bragging about the life of Wulin. He was fascinated and wished that he could grow up earlier and enter a famous sect to learn martial arts. Now, he unexpectedly found a martial arts secret manual in a hidden cave. It must be a very, very good secret manual.

Therefore, Zhang Li hid the secret manual and began to practice in private. He imagined that one day he would master the secret manual and become the number one master in Wulin. He would eat and drink well.

Perhaps his talent was not bad. With the help of the pills, he cultivated inner force in less than a month. However, after taking the pills, he found that although his inner force was getting stronger, his body was getting weaker and weaker. In the end, he even got tuberculosis. It was really a life worse than death.

Shi Xuan shook his head. It was terrible to have no one to guide him. "This is the result of your rapid success. Originally, it was nothing to rely on pills to cultivate inner force. It's just that you took a shortcut in body forging. In the future, you will always be a little worse than others."

He paused for a moment and then said in a serious tone, "But after you cultivate inner force, look at the situation of your family. Can they provide you with the meat you need every day? Refining essence into qi, refining essence into qi. If there is no supplement, then you are refining your own source. Once this source is weak, it's hard not to cough blood! "

"What about your inner force? It's better to stop practicing for a period of time. Let your body recover first. Oh right, you are not suffering from tuberculosis. It just looks like it." Shi Xuan was worried that the child would not listen to him. He chanted an incantation and released a Mantra of Universal Rain. This slightly replenished Zhang Li's source and at least made him stop coughing. If he did not do this, he would not be able to show off his methods. No one would listen to his subsequent arrangements.

Zhang Li was shocked by this divine method. Naturally, he would listen to the words of the immortal. "After recuperating your body, you should first practice martial arts. In the future, you can go hunting in the mountains by yourself to replenish your meat. This is the right way of cultivation. I observed your inner force. It is still considered neutral and peaceful. It is not the type that hurts others or yourself. It's just that the further you go, the more profound the words become. For a child like you who has only been in a private school for a few years, if you are not careful, you will be possessed by the devil. It's better to find a sect and slowly build your foundation. "
