Chapter 451: Thoughts (2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the end, the Wuliang Temple said that Daoist Master Yun Qiu had left three days ago, but the temple had recorded his ultimatum.

According to the law, any traveling Daoist priest had to rely on an ultimatum. This ultimatum was equivalent to a monk’s residence permit. The ultimatum detailed the monk’s hometown, common name, age, affiliated temple, and so on.

With the ultimatum, the officials could investigate the origins of the monks.

The Wuliang Temple was quite cooperative. They even got the Daoist priest in the temple to draw the old Daoist’s appearance. The portrait was also presented to the Emperor and Chu Yi.

“The Eldest Prince has already gotten the Embroidered Uniform Guards to look for it.” Gu Yuan’s lips curled up slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

As long as Yun Qiu was a proper Daoist, there would always be clues if the warning was true.

Fan Mushuang didn’t hear what Fan Bciran said to Gu Yuan. She looked at Gu Yanfei in admiration.

After she returned to the residence that night, she tossed and turned the entire night and couldn’t sleep at all.

At first, she was still thinking about the stupid things she had done when she was poisoned by the Love Gu. The more she thought about it, the more ashamed she felt. However, in the latter half of the night, all she could think about was Gu Yanfei.

Gu Yanfei took the Gu from his body.

Gu Yanfei easily overthrew the person surnamed Xue.

Gu Yanfei used a burning talisman to scare the child Gu away…

She was really amazing!

Two days ago, her parents refused to let her out. Even when she went to the Gu Mansion to thank them, it was her Second Brother who led her parents there.

It wasn’t until today, when the Xue guy died, that her parents finally relaxed and let Second Brother bring her out.

Fan Mushuang’s eyes were shining like gems. She spoke to Gu Yanfei softly. “Yanfei, what talisman did you use that night?”

“Why did it burn itself?”

“Are those Gu worms afraid of fire? Or do they need talisman fire?”

The little girl was playful and cute. When she spoke, the gorgeous ruby-studded golden swallow hairpin on her bun swayed gently, making her eyes shine.

Fan Beiran looked at his sister’s listlessness a few days ago, and his heart ached. At this moment, seeing that his sister had returned to her usual obedient and cute self, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief. The corners of his lips curled up as he nimbly threw a peanut into his mouth.

“It’s a Bright Fire Talisman.” Gu Yanfei looked at Fan Mushuang, who was as adorable as a ferret. She raised her eyebrows slightly and rested her chin on her fingers. “Do you want to learn it?” she asked with a smile.

“Yes, yes.” Fan Mushuang nodded repeatedly, her small round face filled with anticipation. “Then can I learn the Bright Fire Talisman too?”

With the Bright Fire Talisman, no Gu would ever dare approach me again!

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. Her eyes lit up.

“You can try other simple talismans first. As for the complicated talismans…” Gu Yanfei wanted to say that spiritual roots were necessary, but she changed her words in time. “You need to have talent.”

“Yes, I’ll learn the simplest,” Fan Mushuang said obediently.

Her fair cheeks were round, and her facial features were pure and cute. Her smile was sweet, like the wine in the cup, making people have a good impression of her at a glance.

Fan Beiran’s heart almost melted. My fifth sister is the most obedient!

“Then I’ll teach you to draw a Disease Removal Talisman. Look carefully.” Gu Yanfei also taught Fan Mushuang the same Disease Removal Talisman that she had taught Wei Jiaoniang previously.

It was the simplest Disease Removal Talisman.

Gu Yanfei drew the Disease Removal Talisman on the girl’s palm and deliberately slowed it down. She patiently demonstrated it three times and said, “Try it.”

Fan Mushuang nodded obediently. She eagerly dipped her index finger into the wine and practiced drawing the Disease Removal Talisman on the table.

However, halfway through, the rune that was winding like an earthworm inexplicably broke.

Her mind went blank for a moment. There was a subtle feeling in her heart, as if she knew exactly how to draw the runes, but she couldn’t draw any more.

She failed the first time.

Fan Mushuang wasn’t discouraged. She happily dipped her fingers in some wine and drew again on the table. The second time, she finally drew the last stroke.

“There’s a mistake here.” Gu Yanfei pointed at a certain turning point in the second half of the rune with her fingertip. “I’ll draw it again. Look carefully.”

She dipped her index finger into the wine and demonstrated where Fan Mushuang had drawn the wrong place again.

Fan Mushuang’s almond-shaped eyes were wide open as she stared intently. Her cute little face was slightly lowered as she focused on the strokes.

Gu Yuan and Fan Bciran exchanged glances tacitly. They smiled and toasted each other.

In the elegant seat, the faint fragrance of wine filled the air.

Fan Mushuang slowly drew a third time, but her strokes were still jerky.

“It’s too top-heavy here.” Gu Yanfei pointed out Fan Mushuang’s mistakes again and patiently demonstrated it again.

Fan Mushuang continued to practice the Disease Removal Talisman in high spirits. Four times, five times, six times… Her drawing became smoother and smoother.

Beside her, Fan Bciran silently added some osmanthus glutinous rice wine to his sister and pushed the wine glass to her, indicating for her to rest for a while before continuing to practice.

Fan Mushuang took two sips of glutinous rice wine to moisten her throat. She blinked her big round eyes and asked expectantly and curiously, “Yanfei, what kind of illness can this Disease Removal Talisman treat? Can it treat external injuries?”

As she spoke, she pointed at the sesame seed-sized red dot on the back of her neck. This was the wound left by Gu Yanfei when she hooked the child Gu out with a silver needle that day.

Seeing Fan Mushuang’s cute facial features frowning, Gu Yanfei couldn’t help but laugh. She thought to herself: Looks like this Love Gu has become her sore spot.

Gu Yanfei nodded slightly and said with a smile, “Of course such a small wound can be treated. When you’re familiar with the Disease Removal Talisman, you can witness its effect yourself.”

“However, a serious injury like opening the intestine and splitting the stomach isn’t possible. If it’s serious, you need to use a Hemostatic Talisman and use other talismans as appropriate. None of the talismans can cure all illnesses.” Gu Yanfei explained patiently.

Fan Mushuang tilted her small, round face and looked like she was all ears. She asked thoughtfully, “For example, seriously injured people often have a fever. Once they have a fever, they have to use other talismans?”

Gu Yanfei said, “After being seriously injured, the meridians will rupture, and the blood from the meridians will stagnate in the body. If it stays in the body for a long time, it will definitely heat up. If external evil enters the body, the blood clots and evil poison will gather and heat up. Yin doesn’t control Yang, and it’s easy to cause high heat. In serious cases, you will die.”

For cultivators, even if their intestines were cut open, their limbs would only suffer external injuries. External injuries were easy to treat, but for mortals, such serious injuries were often fatal.

“I see.” Fan Mushuang sighed seriously. Actually, she didn’t understand half of what Gu Yanfei said.

No, I’ll have to buy some medical books later. Otherwise, if I can’t understand what Yanfei says in the future, how can we be friends?!

Fan Mushuang thought about it in her heart, but still smiled happily..
