I gently clapped my hands and sent a wisp of Dao energy into Lin Yuetong's body. Her quiet body suddenly shivered. Then, she slowly opened her eyes.
"It's impossible … How could it be …"
Dr. Lin Bide, who had been sneering a moment ago, suddenly opened his eyes wide. His face was filled with disbelief. He stammered and couldn't utter a word.
I turned around and smiled at him. "Now that you've woken up, Dr. Lin, it seems you're going to study Chinese medicine."
After hearing my words, Dr. Lin Bide still hadn't recovered from his shock. He pointed at me and shouted, "That's impossible! This isn't medicine! It's sorcery! It's definitely sorcery!"
Strictly speaking, he wasn't wrong. What I was doing wasn't medicine. It was metaphysics.
However, if metaphysics was used to save people, why couldn't it be called medicine?
Moreover, metaphysics and Chinese medicine were of the same origin, so they had their own similarities. It wasn't too much to call them Chinese medicine.
Before I could say anything, Wang Yongjun opened his mouth with a cold face. "Dr. Lin, you just used a Chinese idiom to make a bet. Now, I'll tell you another idiom. If you're willing to bet, you must be willing to lose.
If you continue to pester me, don't blame me for not being reasonable with you. "
As Wang Yongjun's private doctor, of course, Dr. Lin Bide knew Wang Yongjun's power. He kept silent for a while then nodded. "All right, I admit that I lost. From now on, I'll go and find some basic Chinese medicine teaching materials. I'll start to study Chinese medicine."
I couldn't help but laugh. This fellow had been showing off his Western education, but now he knew how to beat around the bush and avoid the important points.
I didn't need to say anything as Wang Yongjun knew what he was thinking. He said bluntly, "Dr. Lin, you said that you want to give up Western medicine and study Chinese medicine. If that's the case, you can't be my private doctor for the time being. I'll explain the situation to the hospital and ask for a new doctor.
That way, after Dr. Lin leaves, you can focus on studying Chinese medicine. "
I smiled at him. "Then, I wish Dr. Lin good luck in learning Chinese and Western medicine in advance. Hopefully, you'll be able to achieve something in Chinese medicine."
Lin Bide's face slowly darkened. After a moment of silence, he reluctantly nodded at us and turned around to leave.
After he left, Wang Yongjun suddenly called his driver over and instructed him, "Get someone to keep an eye on this person. If he gives up Western medicine and starts to learn Chinese medicine as promised, then forget it. If he doesn't do that, think of a way to create a major medical accident so that he can't stay in the medical circle anymore."
"This …" I frowned and said to Wang Yongjun, "It doesn't seem appropriate, right?"
Wang Yongjun's expression was originally gloomy, but when he turned to look at me, he immediately put on a smile and explained, "Brother Zhou, you're too kind. You don't need to be polite to this kind of person. If he doesn't keep his promise, then I can only help him keep his promise."
I kept silent for a while. In the end, I didn't say anything. Lin Bide had brought this upon himself. He didn't deserve any sympathy.
I turned my head to look at Lin Yuetong, who was lying on the hospital bed. I smiled and asked her, "How do you feel now?"
Lin Yuetong's eyes were still bewildered. When she heard my question, she took a while to compose herself. Then, she slowly said, "I feel a little dizzy … How are my parents' bodies?"
According to what Yang Kaichen had told me, not long after Lin Yuetong saw her parents' bodies, she was possessed by the well ghost and fainted. Of course, she was worried about them.
However, I didn't know the answer to this question, so I could only turn to look at Yang Kaichen.
Yang Kaichen awkwardly lowered his head and said, "At that time, we encountered a dangerous situation. We had to run for our lives … Your parents' bodies are still there."
Lin Yuetong didn't mind. After asking that question, she lay on the bed again, looking at the ceiling with dull eyes.
Her three souls had been separated for a long time, so it was natural that she would suffer some damage. Although I had used my Dao energy to help her recover, Lin Yuetong would remain in this absent-minded state for a long time.
However, at this moment, I didn't have time to care about her mental state. There were some questions I had to ask her.
"When did you get this little red dot on your forehead?"
Lin Yuetong thought for a while then said, "I heard from my mother that it was when I was in a coma for the first time when I was young."
I nodded and asked, "Since you were young, every time you woke up after being in a coma, did you feel the same way as you do now?"
Lin Yuetong nodded.
With these two simple questions and the information I had gotten from Yang Kaichen and Lin Yuetong, I had more or less figured out the ins and outs of this matter.
The reason why Lin Yuetong barked like a dog and fell into a coma wasn't what I had thought. She had been affected by the resentful energy of the dog soul when she was in her mother's womb.
All of this was caused by humans, or rather, by ghosts.
When I first met the well ghost, I felt an aura that was similar to Tong Tong's. At that time, I thought that the well ghost was born with a bit of Heavenly Soul, but now that I thought about it, it wasn't the case at all.
Because of the special structure of the well, the well ghost was born with a bit of Heavenly Soul aura. However, it was still worlds apart from the aura of a heavenly fetus like Tong Tong.
To ghosts, a heavenly fetus was like a top-notch four-meridian talent in the metaphysics world. It was something that every ghost wanted to have.
However, ghosts were formed after people died. When they were born, the Heavenly Soul would completely disappear. It was impossible to form a ghost with three souls.
But among all the ghosts, the well ghost was a special case because it had a bit of the aura of a Heavenly Soul.
Because of this bit of aura, the well ghost had the possibility of becoming a heavenly fetus.
Although it was impossible for a person's eight characters to be exactly the same, there were some that were very similar. There were even some that were slightly different.
If the well ghost wanted to become a heavenly fetus, it had to find a person whose fate was only slightly different from its own. Then, it had to occupy her Soul Palace and slowly fuse the three souls of the two of them. In the end, it had to use the other person's Heavenly Soul to make up for its remaining bit of Heavenly Soul. Then, the well ghost would become a heavenly fetus.
Although this probability was higher than that of a heavenly fetus like Tong Tong, it was still very small. No one had ever told me about it. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it.
Although the well ghost that had fought fiercely looked bloody and scary, in reality, at the Ghost King Realm, a ghost's intelligence was not inferior to that of a human's.
Because the well ghost wanted to become a heavenly fetus, it somehow found Lin Yuetong, whose fate was very similar to its own when it was alive.
Moreover, Lin Yuetong had been afflicted with a Soul Splitting Needle since she was a child, causing her three souls to separate every once in a while. Then, the Jing Ghost would reside in her soul palace during the time when her three souls were separated. He would familiarize himself with and fuse with her three souls, causing her to frequently fall into a coma all these years.
As for the reason why she barked like a dog, it was indeed because her soul was contaminated with the resentment of the dog soul. However, it wasn't when she was in her mother's womb, but when her three souls were separated and reunited.
Over the years, her mother made her listen to Buddhist scriptures, but it couldn't cure her. It could only calm her down a little. In the end, she woke up not because of the Buddhist scriptures, but because the well ghost left on his own.
As for what happened to her in college, it was because the well ghost wasn't by her side after her three souls separated.
Every time the well ghost fused with her three souls, he would cast a spell to fuse her three souls together before he left. This time, the well ghost didn't enter her Soul Palace, so he naturally couldn't help her fuse the three souls.
However, as I said before, a human's three souls have the instinct to stick together.
A person's three souls had the instinct to stick together. After several days of rest, when I went to check, her three souls had automatically stuck together. That was why I didn't notice this problem. Instead, I focused on the resentful energy of the dog soul in her soul.
After Tong Tong used his pure heavenly soul to help Lin Yuetong repair her soul, they returned to Guangxi. When the well ghost discovered this change, he immediately entered her Soul Palace.
After so many years, the reason why Jing Gui had to slowly fuse with her Heavenly Soul time and time again was because there were still some slight differences in their souls. After the pupil erased the resentment of the dog soul and gave her a new soul, Jing Gui used this pure part of the soul to directly remove the differences between the two and completely devour Lin Yuetong's Heavenly Soul. Then, he filled himself up and became a true Heavenly Embryo.
If I hadn't come back in time, the well ghost might have become a heavenly fetus.
This was also the reason why I found a similar aura to Tong Tong's.
This method of separating the three souls and slowly fusing them was the orthodox Ghost Raising Technique. The only difference was that in the Ghost Raising Technique, a person raised a little ghost, while Lin Yuetong was raised by a well ghost. It wasn't a person raising a ghost, but a ghost raising a ghost.
Lin Yuetong's family situation had been so many years, and she didn't know about the well ghost in her family. However, her parents obviously knew about it. Of the three corpses on the Corpse Fishing Rod, two were her parents, and the other one was a metaphysics expert that her parents had found to solve the problem. Unfortunately, this man wasn't good enough or he didn't know that the well ghost had the power of a Ghost King. In the end, not only did he fail to fish up the well ghost's corpse, but he also got himself killed. In the end, he and Lin Yuetong's parents became the well ghost's food.
After understanding this, everything seemed clear. However, there were still two things I didn't understand.
First, even if the well ghost had the power of a Ghost King, he couldn't use the Soul Splitting Needle. Only humans could use it.
Who had stabbed Lin Yuetong's forehead with the Soul Splitting Needle?
Second, it was very difficult to find a person with a small difference in the eight characters of their birth. The well ghost didn't have the ability to check the eight characters of a person's birth. How could he find Lin Yuetong?
Was it really a coincidence?
