But this was also what puzzled him. If it was a fake, daring to come here and swindle people, they must be tired of living.
As long as one wasn't an idiot, they should know the consequences of pretending to be the Ghost Doctor's disciple and not being able to provide treatment.
But then again, he didn't say that he was the Ghost Doctor's disciple. It was accidentally discovered by the people from Gold State, and he didn't admit it from start to finish.
Could it be that he wanted to rely on this to say that he didn't say that he was the Ghost Doctor's disciple? Li Wuhua sneered in his heart and followed in to see what was going on.
"Mr. Ming, this is it."
Hai Ruyue pointed at Xiao Tianzhen who was sitting on the couch.
Xiao Tianzhen looked indifferent, as if he was used to this kind of treatment scene.
Mister Ming untied the rattan trunk behind him. A stool had been placed beside the couch. Zhu Shun extended his hand, indicating for Mister Ming to sit.
Stroking his beard, Mister Ming stared at Xiao Tianzhen and looked left and right. He sat down and stretched out his hand. "Give me your hand."
Xiao Tianzhen had a cold look on his face, as if he wasn't treating himself. He didn't have any intention of reaching out, and he himself didn't have any hope.
Zhu Shun hurriedly helped Xiao Tianzhen lie down and moved his wrist to the edge of the bed.
Mister Ming placed his fingers on Xiao Tianzhen's pulse and stroked his beard. He shook his head slightly and narrowed his eyes.
After a while, he muttered to himself, "It's really the Heavenly Yin that damages the meridians …"
Li Wuhua was secretly disdainful. It was no secret that Xiao Tianzhen was suffering from the strange disease of Heavenly Yin that damaged his meridians.
The people at the side looked on. Hai Ruyue's eyes were filled with anticipation. Every time this happened, no matter which doctor came, she would always be like this. She would always be filled with anticipation, hoping for a miracle to happen.
However, this Mr. Ming seemed to be different from the others. He felt the pulse for a long time, and in the end, he seemed to fall asleep. He closed his eyes and sat there motionlessly.
Even Xiao Tianzhen, who was lying there indifferently, couldn't help but be curious. He slowly turned his head to look at the doctor who was taking his pulse.
The group of people stared at each other and waited for a long time.
After a full hour, Mister Ming finally opened his eyes. His fingers moved away from Xiao Tianzhen's pulse and he stood up.
Hai Ruyue busily asked, "Mister Ming, how is it?"
Mister Ming ignored her and said to Xiao Tianzhen, "Open your mouth."
Zhu Shun hurriedly said to Xiao Tianzhen: "Young Master, open your mouth."
Xiao Tianzhen slowly opened his mouth.
"Open your mouth so small, are you waiting for milk? Open your mouth wider, "Mr. Ming reprimanded.
Xiao Tianzhen rolled his eyes and opened his mouth as he was told. Who would have thought that the other party would quickly reach out and grab the tip of his tongue with two fingers, pulling it out and turning it over and over to examine it.
Xiao Tianzhen stared at him with wide eyes.
Letting go of Xiao Tianzhen's tongue, Mister Ming fiddled with Xiao Tianzhen's cheeks and looked at him. Shortly after, he walked to the end of the couch and pointed at Xiao Tianzhen's feet, "Someone, take off his shoes and socks."
Ming Ming, Zhu! of of of of! of, Ming of Xiao Xiao!
Mister of Ming of Ming As he as he he Ming. Xiao Ming. Ming, Ming of. of of of doing, Ming as Xiao Ming. Ming, to say, Ling.
'Ming Good! Ming Ming looked at of Ming. from of. of of. Mi Ming. Mo of Ming. Mier. of of of. much as.
Even Hai Ruyue hadn't looked at her son's feet for many years. She didn't need to wash his feet.
Everyone, including Li Wuhua, could not help but pay attention to Mister Ming's reaction. They all realized that this doctor's treatment was different from that of ordinary doctors.
Because of this difference, Hai Ruyue's anticipation in her heart increased significantly.
After looking at the soles of his feet, Mister Ming opened Xiao Tianzhen's feet and looked at them one by one. He kept nodding his head, as if he had seen something.
He let go of Xiao Tianzhen's feet. Then, he grabbed Xiao Tianzhen's palms and looked at his fingers one by one.
After officially letting go of Xiao Tianzhen, he stroked his long beard and nodded seriously at Xiao Tianzhen, as if he had a card up his sleeve.
Mister Ming turned and said, "I won't treat people for free. Let's discuss the price first."
Hai Ruyue and Li Wuhua looked at each other. "Mister Ming, how is it?"
Hai Ruyue and Li Wuhua couldn't help but look at each other. He sounded like the legendary Ghost Doctor.
If the Ghost Doctor was willing to treat someone, he would discuss the price with you. If you could afford it, he would treat you. If you couldn't, he wouldn't treat you.
He had to see if the person he wanted to treat was pleasing to the eye. If he didn't like the person, he wouldn't treat him. It was said that one of the Nine Great Supremes had tried to force the Ghost Doctor to treat someone but failed. If the person was pleasing to the eye, he would be willing to treat him for a copper coin, no matter what kind of illness he had.
As for the price, it depended on the person's mood. He would sell for a copper coin, but there were also times when he demanded a sky-high price.
If the price was money, it was easy. It was said that the Ghost Doctor often used human lives as a bargaining chip, exchanging one life for another!
Because of this, very few people dared to provoke the Ghost Doctor. If you offended him, who knew when your life would become the bargaining chip of the Ghost Doctor? An expert would suddenly appear to kill you!
Hai Ruyue asked tentatively, "What price does Mister Ming want?"
Mister Ming stretched out a finger with his left hand, "Don't tell anyone about my treatment. Otherwise, if I can cure him, I can take back double the price!"
Hai Ruyue nodded hurriedly. She had been asking about the Ghost Doctor all these years. She knew about his rule, but she didn't expect his disciple to have the same rule.
It was because of this rule that people couldn't figure out the Ghost Doctor's whereabouts. It was probably a way for the Ghost Doctor to protect himself.
There was once a person who didn't control his mouth after being cured and bragged about the Ghost Doctor's treatment. In the end, his entire family was exterminated.
"Mister, we will naturally follow your rules," Hai Ruyue agreed immediately.
Mister Ming stretched out another finger with his right hand, "100,000 gold coins. If you agree, I'll treat him. If not, then forget it. Give me an answer!"
Hai Ruyue heaved a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as he asked for money. She heard that the Ghost Doctor had done all kinds of strange things like saving his son but taking his wife's life.
Looking at Hai Ruyue's reaction, Li Wuhua said, "100,000 gold coins isn't a small amount. What if you can't cure him?"
Mister Ming said, "There's no such thing as a guaranteed cure. As long as I take the money and can't cure him, I will continue treating him. Let's cut the crap. If you can or can't cure him, I will leave. Don't waste time. "
"Alright!" Hai Ruyue agreed immediately and said to Zhu Shun, "Go get the money."
"Yes!" Zhu Shun left quickly.
When he returned, ten gold notes with a face value of 10,000 gold coins were presented to Mister Ming with both hands.
Li Wuhua's eyebrows twitched. He noticed that Mister Ming's eyes actually flashed with excitement when he saw the gold notes. Would the Ghost Doctor's disciple lack money to spend? He was on high alert!
Putting the gold notes into his pocket, Mister Ming didn't waste any more time. He walked to the rattan box he had brought and opened it, revealing a pile of bottles and jars inside.
He picked up a few bottles and pulled out the corks one by one, then placed them on a stool at the side.
Finally, he took out a small silver bottle and pulled out the cork. Very quickly, a strange fragrance filled the air, causing everyone to involuntarily move their nostrils.
He poured some powder from each of the bottles and jars into the silver bottle. Then, he inserted a long silver needle into the silver bottle and stirred it quickly.
As the strange fragrance became thicker, Mister Ming sat beside the bed and said to Xiao Tianzhen, "Open your mouth."
Xiao Tianzhen looked at this strange person with some curiosity and opened his mouth.
Mister Ming was about to pour the contents of the silver bottle into Xiao Tianzhen's mouth when Li Wuhua suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
Everyone turned to look. Li Wuhua said in a low voice, "How do I know if your medicine is poison or good medicine?"
This was a difficult question.
Xiao Tianzhen's eyes lit up with hope. Few people who came to see him would prescribe medicine.
"I'm here alone," Mister Ming said lightly. Mister Ming said lightly. The mouth of the silver bottle was already slowly pouring out something that looked like a sticky substance. It was brightly colored, and there was a faint red light appearing.
Li Wuhua, who was about to stop him, was startled. This medicine actually had a faint glow. He could tell that it was not an ordinary medicine!
The sticky medicine flowed into Xiao Tianzhen's mouth. Xiao Tianzhen frowned. What kind of messy taste was this? It was fragrant, sweet, sour, and bitter. The taste was unbearable. Just as he was about to shut up, Mister Ming had already used his arts to pour all the paste in the silver bottle into his mouth.
"Good medicine tastes bitter. It's right that it tastes bad. Swallow it!" Mister Ming ordered as he moved the silver bottle away from Xiao Tianzhen's mouth.
Xiao Tianzhen frowned, looking like he was in pain. After forcefully swallowing it, he hurriedly shouted, "Water!"
Zhu Shun hurriedly asked, "Mister Ming, can I drink water?"
Mister Ming nodded. He stood up and began to pack up. The bottles and jars that he had taken out earlier were all placed back into the rattan box.
He seemed to be done. Hai Ruyue hurriedly asked, "Mister Ming, is this enough?"
Mister Ming glanced at Xiao Tianzhen, who was sitting on the bed and drinking water with a frown. "I need to take two more medicines tomorrow and the day after. I'm tired. Find a room for me to rest."
"Okay!" Seeing that he was not leaving for the time being, Hai Ruyue hurriedly waved for Zhu Shun to personally make arrangements.
After watching Zhu Shun leave, Li Wuhua immediately waved for a disciple and ordered, "Keep a close eye on him. Don't let him escape."
"Yes!" The disciple quickly left.
Hai Ruyue approached Li Wuhua and softly asked, "Elder, what do you think?"
Li Wuhua muttered, "It's hard to say. However, the medicine that this person concocted is indeed not ordinary!"
In a quiet house, Zhu Shun led the honored guest into the house and repeatedly told him to let him know if there was anything he needed.
Mister Ming waved his hand to indicate that they should leave and not disturb him. After Zhu Shun left, he quickly closed the door and leaned against it. He patted his chest with his palm. "You scared me to death, scared me to death. Please don't harm me!"
He patted the gold notes in his chest and quickly took them out. After counting them repeatedly, he was instantly overjoyed. His sanctimonious and virtuous demeanor was instantly gone …
"Madam, there's something wrong with Young Master!"
Hai Ruyue and Li Wuhua were strolling in the garden when a servant suddenly came to report urgently.
The two of them were shocked and hurriedly ran to Xiao Tianzhen's side. Once they entered the house, they saw Zhu Shun and the others surrounding the bed at a loss.
The two of them pushed aside the surrounding servants and saw Xiao Tianzhen stomping his feet and tearing apart the clothes in front of his chest. His skin was flushed and he kept shouting, "Hot … hot …" When he saw Hai Ruyue, he said with an uncomfortable expression, "Mother, I'm so hot!"
Li Wuhua hurriedly grabbed his wrist and examined it. After a while, he slowly let go.
Hai Ruyue asked anxiously, "How is it?"
