Chapter Seventeen: The Materials of the Hexagrams

  The first night in the new home, Ye Nan slept very soundly and steadily, but still continued his daily routine: dreaming. This time, Lao Dao taught two new talismans: Soul-Turbid Talisman and Evil-Repelling Talisman.

  This chaotic soul symbol has an effect that is exactly the opposite of the clear mind and calm spirit symbols, it can be used to make a person temporarily lose their mental clarity, and it can also be used to deal with some spiritual creatures.

  The Bie Xie Fu is used to protect against evil spirits, it's a most basic protective charm, with the practitioner's own power increasing, its ability to ward off external evils also becomes stronger.

  The sky was still dark, Ye Nan had just finished learning two new moves, and was awakened by a knock on the door. He looked at his watch and saw that it was exactly 5:30, which was the time Fang Wei had set for him to get up and exercise yesterday. Although he was still sleepy, he quickly got out of bed.

  He opened the door and saw that Fang Wei looked like he hadn't woken up yet, so he smiled and said: "Not awake yet? You'll get used to it later. Hurry up and brush your teeth and wash your face, I'm waiting for you downstairs."

  Ye Nan washed up, changed into his exercise clothes and followed Fang Wei to the depths of the villa area. As for running, he was used to it, having done it every morning for half a year, only not this early usually.

  They ran for only a few minutes before arriving at the side of a basketball court. Fang Wei led them in running circles around the court, and after more than 20 minutes, Ye Nan was already panting heavily, but Fang Wei seemed completely unaffected, which made Ye Nan feel very frustrated. It wasn't until they had been running continuously for half an hour that Fang Wei finally called a halt.

  However, amidst Ye Nan's complaints, he was caught again and made to do 300 frog jumps. After jumping for about ten times, Ye Nan felt his legs go soft and looked at Fang Wei with a pitiful expression, hoping to rest for a while.

  However, Fang Wei obviously ignored him and even chased after him with a small branch in his hand, like driving ducks. He had no choice but to persevere, and after doing it 300 times, he fell to the ground, not wanting to move at all.

  "Let's stop here for today..."

  Upon hearing this sentence, Ye Nan's eyes welled up with tears, thinking that he had finally been freed. However, the next sentence made him feel as if he had fallen into an icy pit!

  "Continue tonight..."

  Ye Nan hastily washed up and changed her clothes before going downstairs, where Fang Wei had already prepared breakfast.

  Ye Nan looked at the fragrant soy milk and fried dough sticks, his stomach had been growling for a while, he devoured several of them before slowing down. He looked at Fang Wei with a suspicious expression: "What's the plan for tonight? You're not going to make me do frog jumps again, are you?"

  Fang Wei looked at Ye Nan's tense appearance and smiled: "Relax tonight, teach you to learn two hours of driving, then go to the activity room upstairs for some adaptive training."

  "Learning to drive? That's great..." Ye Nan was somewhat impatient.

  There aren't many men in this world who don't like driving. This news excited him for a while, until the bus he was sitting on arrived at the hospital entrance and he came back to his senses.

  After handing over the shift in the morning, I went to check the room as usual, opened the medical order, and made sure everything was done clearly for the day. It wasn't until then that I remembered something I had forgotten, and after thinking hard, I finally recalled the few spells I learned these past two days.

  Thinking of these talismans, Ye Nan became excited again. This was something he could really do, and he couldn't wait to try it out.

  Although they had only drawn it once in their dreams, when recalling it, the strokes of those talismans appeared very clearly in their mind, as if they were already very familiar with them.

  Ye Nan was also unfazed, this thing that came out of the dream, every time it was unforgettable, and he could summon it at will, as if he had practiced it a million times...

  Today is Ye Nan's shift, taking advantage of the fact that there are not many things to do yet, Ye Nan ran downstairs to the Chinese medicine room and found a colleague in the pharmacy to get half a liang of cinnabar, which he treasured like a precious thing.

  Then ran to the laboratory, pulled out a few large test tubes, ready to use them to hold the black dog's blood.

  No way, use something else to hold it, I'm afraid the dog's blood will coagulate in just a few minutes, only the test tubes in the laboratory contain anticoagulants, and this is the most suitable thing.

  Look at the things in hand, cinnabar is available, but lack black dog blood, rootless water and yellow paper. Black dog blood can be handled by itself, rootless water still needs to wait for rainy days, yellow paper is simple, and will be bought later.

  Ye Nan returned to the office with a satisfied heart, at this time almost everyone had finished their work. The several young women in the department were sitting there, chatting idly about everything from last night's mahjong game to a store on Pedestrian Street that was having a sale starting today...

  Ye Nan sat idly watching TV, the inpatients in the department were not many now, it was already the 20th, if they didn't admit a few more patients, this month's bonus would be worrisome, let's see how many they could admit today.

  He was still thinking about it when a patient was suddenly lifted up from the other side, and Ye Nan quickly rushed out to direct the staff to put the patient in the emergency room.

  This was a woman patient in her thirties, lying on the bed with limbs **, whole body trembling, and rapid breathing. Ye Nan listened to her heart and lungs, used a small flashlight to check her pupils, and checked her nervous system, all of which were fine, and she felt more at ease.

  At this time, several family members were surrounding and anxiously waiting. After Ye Nan finished the examination, one of them who looked like the patient's husband hastily asked: "Doctor, is my wife okay?"

  Ye Nan nodded and said: "Don't rush first, tell me when she fell ill, what was she doing before falling ill?"

  The tall man, hearing the doctor's question, looked regretful and said: "This morning I had just eaten breakfast, because of a small matter, she quarreled with me for a few sentences. At that time, my heart was annoyed, and I didn't care about her. She stared at me and scolded me. I got angry and gave her a slap in the face, and then it became like this." Ye Nan listened and knew that the patient had a history of emotional excitement. At this time, the nurse also took the patient's blood pressure and said: "Blood pressure 110/70mmHg".

  Ye Nan nodded and instructed the nurse verbally: "Administer 20ml of 50% glucose plus 20ml of 20% calcium gluconate by slow IV push, then hang another bottle of Ringer's lactate solution." The nurse nodded to indicate receipt.
