He spent the night in pain. The pain was all over his body. It was a pain that was worse than death.
He wanted to die. He wanted to kill himself by biting his tongue, but he found that he didn't even have the strength to open his mouth. He could only lie on the ground and breathe.
The feeling of wanting to die but not being able to do so was not good.
That night, Wang Yao called Su Xiaoxue and told her that he had found the murderer. Su Xiaoxue was silent for a while.
"What are you going to do with him?"
Su Xiaoxue asked. "He won't live for long," Wang Yao said.
"No!" Su Xiaoxue hurriedly said. "I don't want you to kill people because of me. It's against the law!"
"He doesn't have long to live." Wang Yao said. "He is seriously ill and often in contact with poison. A lot of poison has accumulated in his body, which has destroyed his body."
"Oh, that's good." Su Xiaoxue breathed a sigh of relief.
"You are too kind!" Wang Yao said with a smile. "Did anyone make trouble for you at school?"
"No, I'm fine here," Su Xiaoxue said.
"That's good. The weather is cold. Wear more clothes and take care of your body."
"Okay."
The two of them chatted for a while before hanging up.
The night was long. For some people, it was painful and long. It was like a year. When a ray of sunlight shone into the room in the morning, the man lying on the ground squinted his eyes.
"I'm still alive. Why am I still alive?"
He wanted to shout, question, and curse, but he had no strength. He didn't even have the strength to die. He just lay there. The pain was still tormenting him.
In the clinic, three people came. They were a couple and a young man in a Taoist robe.
"Hello, Dr. Wang," Wang Yao said. "Sorry to bother you again. What about my son's illness?"
"Ah, I remember. Does he want to cultivate to become an immortal?" Wang Yao said.
This time, the young man's face was a lot worse.
"What's going on?"
Wang Yao asked. "Ah, he made elixirs at home and ate two. He went to the hospital to have his stomach pumped," the young man's father said.
"Oh."
"Hey, Dad, you're ruining my big plan. Haven't you heard that when a man achieves the Dao, his chickens and dogs will also ascend to heaven? If I achieve the Dao and become an immortal, how can I look down on you?" The young man sighed and shook his head. "Forget it, forget it. I think this is also a disaster!"
"Hehe, his illness is getting worse," Wang Yao said to himself.
"Let me try." Wang Yao said. As he said this, he took out a few silver needles from the needle bag and approached the young man.
"What are you doing?" The young man's expression changed drastically.
"Calm down and don't panic," Wang Yao said.
The man wanted to get up and resist, but he felt that his body was not listening to him. It was as if he was tied up by something. He could only watch the doctor opposite him take a silver needle and insert it into his head. He felt a slight pain, and then his body unconsciously trembled. When he opened his eyes, he had a very strange feeling. It was as if his mind had been emptied in an instant.
Useful?
The needle was inserted into a unique acupoint, which affected people's memory and thinking. The invisible binding disappeared. The young man felt that he had regained control of his body.
"What did you just do to me?"
"How do you feel?"
"My soul is out of my body," the young man said after thinking for a moment.
"Yes." While the young man was talking, Wang Yao had been observing him.
"Are you also a cultivator?"
"You're always talking about your dreams!"
"I'm a pharmacist. I treat diseases and save people."
"I'm not sick," the young man said. "I'm cultivating. Is cultivating a disease?"
"Well, in fact, I think you're on the wrong path," Wang Yao said.
"Wrong path? What's wrong?"
"You're cultivating? Let me ask you, where is the holy land of cultivation?"
"Wudang Mountain, Sanqing Mountain, and Dragon Tiger Mountain." The young man named these places.
"Have you been to all of them?"
"Yes, I have been to Wudang Mountain," the young man said.
"Have you found a cultivator?"
"They're all people with undeserved reputation," the young man said.
"So, you haven't found a senior or a like-minded person?"
"The Great Path is to be walked alone," the young man said confidently.
"Aren't you afraid that you'll take the wrong path and fall into a ravine?"
"Since I've embarked on this path, I'm naturally not afraid," the young man said. "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Go to other places to have a look, such as Sanqing Mountain and Dragon Tiger Mountain," Wang Yao said. "Maybe you'll meet some experts who can give you some guidance on your cultivation."
The young man was stunned. His parents were also stunned.
"Well, okay." After coming back to his senses, the young man nodded, indicating that he accepted Wang Yao's suggestion.
"Accompany him to the car first. I'll talk to Dr. Wang for a while," the young man's father said to his wife.
"Okay."
"Dr. Wang, what do you mean by this?" After the mother and son left, the man hurriedly asked. He had originally brought his son to see a doctor, but Dr. Wang in front of him suggested that his son go to Sanqing Mountain and Dragon Tiger Mountain after giving him an injection. Not only did he not stop his son, but he also encouraged him to cultivate.
"Don't worry, please sit down. Let's talk about your son's condition," Wang Yao said.
"First of all, your son doesn't have any obvious organic lesions in his body. His illness is purely a hallucination, a very serious hallucination. It's what we usually call a mental illness. You should know this."
"Yes, I know." The man nodded.
"Then, let's talk about my treatment plan. The first is to use external guidance to make him realize that his previous persistence is wrong, so he will give up his persistence."
"Guidance? How do I guide him?"
"This is the reason why I asked him to go to Sanqing Mountain and Dragon Tiger Mountain," Wang Yao said. "If he wants to go, you can slightly stop him. Then, find a way to meet some really capable cultivators on those two mountains. Ask them to cooperate with you to enlighten your son and change his mind."
"Will this work?" The man was a little doubtful.
"Let's give it a try." Wang Yao said. "To be honest, I don't think the success rate of this method is particularly high, but it might be able to change his mind."
"Well, okay, I'll do that," the man said. "Is there any other way?"
"Yes, this method has a certain risk," Wang Yao said.
"I'll make him lose his memory first."
"Lose his memory?" The man was stunned.
"What do you mean?"
"It means to empty his mind and make him forget the past," Wang Yao said. Wang Yao said, "The memories of the past have been cleared, so naturally, the things that he once insisted on will also be cleared."
"In that case, will he also forget us?"
"Yes," Wang Yao said.
"Do you mean that the son I've raised for more than 20 years doesn't recognize me?"
"Yes, you need to start from the beginning and establish his memory, or in other words, evoke his memories," Wang Yao said. "But, you have to avoid the prompts of cultivation."
"Haha, what kind of treatment is this? My son doesn't even recognize me! "The man laughed after hearing this. "In that case, I'd rather he continue to imagine things like this," Wang Yao said. "Is there any other way?"
Wang Yao smiled. He had guessed that the man might say that.
"There is a third way."
"What is it?"
"I'll make him have a dream," Wang Yao said. "Through external guidance, his dream will become empty. You should have heard of the story of A Golden Millet Dream, right?"
"That works?" The middle-aged man was stunned.
"In theory, it's possible," Wang Yao said. "It's similar to hypnosis. Have you seen the famous movie 'Inception'?"
"Yes."
"In theory, it's similar to him, but it's not that mysterious."
Wang Yao actually borrowed this treatment method from the book "Treatise on Miscellaneous Diseases." It was a treatment method similar to psychological suggestion, which he had never tried.
"That's safer," Wang Yao said.
"Haha, not necessarily," Wang Yao said. "Maybe he'd rather be silent in his dream and never want to wake up again."
"Is there any other way?"
"For the time being, I can only think of these three methods," Wang Yao said.
