The Fifth Scroll of Medical Symbols

  It's also unknown how long it took, but in Sheng's room!

  A thin thread suspended a copper ring, finally producing a faint tremble, although it was not obvious, and even seemed like an illusion, but Shi Sheng couldn't help but laugh out in excitement, because he knew that it was absolutely no illusion.

  After being excited for a while, Shi Sheng suppressed the excitement in his heart and smiled: "In the past, I practiced for one or two months in modern times without any reaction. Now that I've just started, there's already been a strange movement. I don't know if it's the credit of the foundation laid by the previous two months of cultivation, or if the cultivation of willpower is faster in this world than in modern times."

  As he spoke, Shi Sheng continued to concentrate his mind, his eyes fixed on the suspended copper ring, constantly calling out to it in his heart, his consciousness controlling the power of his thoughts acting upon it. The copper ring trembled again, and then slowly began to rotate.

  Shi Sheng was not excited to the point of losing himself, but rather fully devoted to his practice. Before he knew it, the copper ring's rotation speed had become faster and faster, sometimes rotating in reverse without stopping, sometimes flipping up and down repeatedly.

  As the sky gradually brightened, Shi Sheng finally reached a state of complete control, but just as he was about to feel elated, his head suddenly spun and he broke out in a cold sweat, his face turned pale, and his body seemed to be slightly drained, unable to manipulate the copper ring's movement.

  Shi Sheng shook his head, still feeling a bit weak. His face changed slightly: "Is this going crazy? No, according to the introduction of Xuanhuan, is it the heart demon entering the body?" Shi Sheng was somewhat surprised and uncertain.

  A moment later, Shi Sheng furrowed his brow and said: "But I shouldn't have reached the level of summoning a heart demon yet, right?"

  Shi Sheng was somewhat perplexed. Once a Heart Demon appeared in someone's home, it was usually an old monster that could overturn mountains and seas. But Nima had only just moved the copper hoop a few times! Just as he was getting into the practice, his strength suddenly disappeared. What was going on?

  "Huh? Is it that the people who cultivate the Tao have insufficient magical powers, so their bodies are extremely weak?" Shi Sheng calmed down and thought for a moment, nodding slightly: "It seems that this mental power is not infinite, and there will be times when it is exhausted. We can only wait for it to recover slowly. Ah, yes, meditation and sitting in stillness should help it recover faster."

  Shi Sheng suddenly felt that without a master to guide him, his own cultivation was indeed somewhat dangerous. Even with Lao Da on hand, it would be better to have more experience and safety.

  Like this, Shi Sheng meditated for about an hour or so, and his mental state recovered to about 70-80%. His body was no longer as weak as before, but instead felt full of strength.

  His sense of consciousness and mental power seemed to have increased a bit, his physical senses, hearing and vision had all improved. Suddenly, he found that the door of the next room was slightly ajar, a faint rustling sound entered Sheng Shi's ears, and finally, Sheng Shi's door was pushed open.

  "Ah Sheng, have you had breakfast?" Lin Wan'er carried a tray with two bowls of hot congee and a small dish on it, sent to the table in the room, smiling at Shi Sheng.

  "How warm and cozy!" Looking at Lin Wan'er, Shi Sheng felt a warmth in his heart. After washing up, he had breakfast with Lin Wan'er, chatting and laughing together. Although they now have some spare money, they didn't dare to idle away, so the two of them decided to go find Wu Ayi to see if there was any work or business to attend to!

  "Wan Er Jie, you look really beautiful today!" Shi Sheng said from the bottom of his heart on the way.

  Lin Wan'er's face turned red: "Nonsense, how did Ah Sheng become so glib? I haven't even put on makeup, and you're saying I look beautiful like this!" Lin Wan'er gave Shi Sheng a white eye, but her eyes flashed with delight. Women, no one doesn't love to hear words of praise, especially when the person they like says it.

  Shi Sheng looked at Lin Wan'er's moving face, then at the tattered dress she was wearing, and her plain appearance without any makeup. It was truly impossible to compare with Second Miss Yu'e. Thinking that such a good woman was following him, Shi Sheng couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

  "Don't worry, sister Wan'er. In the future, I'll definitely make money and let you dress up beautifully. But even if you don't dress up, in my eyes, you're still the most beautiful!" Shi Sheng said with a smile.

  "Go on talking nonsense!" Lin Wan'er said without turning her head. Before they knew it, the two of them had arrived at Aunt Wu's doorstep.

  "Wow! Shi Sheng, what a coincidence!" Bai Ming appeared at Wu Aunt's house without anyone noticing, and when he saw Shi Sheng, the corner of his mouth rose, but Shi Sheng ignored him, while Wu Aunt shook her head.

  "Shi Sheng, Wan Er, today just happens to have a rush job that requires many hands. Wu Shanren is preparing to weave fifty grass mats to send to the Mountain God Temple. You all come together!" Auntie Wu said after finishing her words, and then beckoned to Bai Ming and those seven or eight young boys, who were almost like little beggars, sometimes unable to get food, could only do some work to maintain their survival.

  "Wait!" Shi Sheng was about to take a step when Bai Ming flashed a playful smile: "Aunt Wu, is this job urgent today?"

  "Of course I'm anxious, or else why would I ask you to find a few more little brothers?" Wu Ayi asked somewhat puzzled, but Shi Sheng secretly thought it was not good, and feared that Bai Ming was going to cause trouble again.

  As expected, Bai Ming smiled and nodded: "Wu Sheng, if Shi Sheng were here today, we wouldn't have gone. If it's up to us, I, Bai Ming, guarantee that we'll complete those fifty rush mats."

  "You..." Lin Wan'er's face showed some anger, Shi Sheng grasped Lin Wan'er's hand and then looked at Wu Yiniang, sending her an inquiring glance.

  The fifth aunt looked at the young men and said, "Two cents a day, will you do it?" Seven or eight young men nodded hastily in agreement, as long as they could make money.

  "Bai Ming's face turned cold and stern: 'Everyone listen up, I'm familiar with the stewards of some big households in town. Today, whoever doesn't listen to me and dares to oppose me over these two cents will never be able to do business in this town again, humph.'"

  As expected, as soon as Bai Ming finished speaking, the young men fell silent one after another. Some nodded helplessly, while others glared at him with slight anger, but forced by circumstances for survival, they had no choice but to listen to Bai Ming's words. After all, Bai Ming was eloquent and indeed familiar with many people in the town.

  There were also two young men, one fat and one thin, who appeared to be Bai Ming's accomplices. Bai Ming whispered a few words in their ears, and they exchanged a sly glance, eyeing Shi Sheng and Lin Wan'er with ill intent, plotting some sinister scheme.

  "Never mind, Fifth Aunt, Lin Wan'er and I can't finish it by ourselves, let them do it. It just so happens that I wanted to take Lin Wan'er out for some fun today, and this little bit of money is really not worth my attention!" Shi Sheng said with a smile as he pulled Lin Wan'er away.

  "Haven't you seen enough? Hmph!" Bai Ming sneered, Shi Sheng was originally clumsy and had no skills, almost entirely relying on Lin Wan'er's care, which is why he was always looked down upon by Bai Ming and others. Previously, they almost starved to death, yet now they dared to say that two copper coins were not enough, it was really quite arrogant.

  Turning and walking on the road, Shi Sheng's face was somewhat gloomy, thinking that he would take the opportunity to teach Bai Ming a lesson.

  "Asheng, don't be angry, at worst we can go out and take a look around, maybe we'll run into something!" Lin Wan'er comfortingly said.

  After a moment of contemplation, Shi Sheng said with narrowed eyes: "No need, Sister Wan'er, take me to find Old Man Wang, I have some things to ask him!"

  "Looking for Dr. Wang? Ah-Sheng, are you feeling unwell? What's wrong?" Since they're going to find Dr. Wang, Lin Wan'er's first thought was that Ah-Sheng's body wasn't feeling well, otherwise why would they go see a doctor?

  "Hehe, don't worry, Wan'er sister. I suddenly thought of a good way to make money. I want to learn about fortune-telling!" Shi Sheng said with a serious expression.

  "Ah!" Lin Wan'er seemed a bit absent-minded, but immediately reacted and revealed a look of astonishment.

  "What? You want to learn about Fu Medicine? Ah Sheng, are you kidding me? We were tested by our parents when we were six years old and couldn't sense the aura, so it's impossible for you to learn Fu Medicine!" Lin Wan'er rolled her eyes. Although being a Fu Physician was a noble profession, not just anyone could learn it. It seemed that Shi Sheng's head injury had left some lingering effects.

  "Give it a try! There's no harm in that. Who knows what changes we've all undergone over the past decade?" Shi Sheng said with a smile.

  "Cough, cough... Ah Sheng, let's go home. That... Lin Wan'er has made some delicious food for you!" Lin Wan'er didn't want to go and look for trouble, that old man Wang Bo had a weird personality, if they were scolded and chased out later, it would be even more embarrassing.

  "Wan'er sister, don't you believe me either?" Shi Sheng suddenly grabbed Lin Wan'er's hand and said seriously, with thick anticipation in his eyes.

  "..." Looking at Shi Sheng's expectant gaze, Lin Wan'er's eyes dodged slightly: "I... I believe!"

  No choice, Lin Wan'er really couldn't bear to refute him, for fear of hurting Shi Sheng's self-esteem. In the end, she had to compromise her conscience and said she believed him, and took Shi Sheng to Wang Bo's house in a daze.

  This is a small courtyard, although it's not a thatched cottage, but just an ordinary residential house, and there are no signs or anything like that, I guess everyone in the village knows that Wang Bo is a doctor of symbols, so there is no need for a sign.

  Two people entered the house, the room was not big, the interior was simple and plain, two potted plants were placed at the door, a wooden table stood opposite, Wang Bo sat in the chair behind it, holding a book in his hand, intently looking at it.

  "What? Shi Sheng, Wan Er, you've arrived! Come in and take a seat!" Wang Bo suddenly noticed the two of them and revealed his characteristic kind smile, gesturing to the two chairs by the wooden table.

  "Wang Bo, thank you again for last time. How much money do we need to pay for Ah Sheng's medical treatment?" Lin Wan'er asked Wang Bo to see a doctor for Shi Sheng, but there was no silver money at all, it was purely seeking medical treatment, but Wang Bo agreed at that time.

  Looking at the two sitting down, Wang Bo smiled and said: "Forget it, your lives aren't easy either. Since you're here today, who's sick?"

  "Wang Bo, I want to learn about the symbol doctor!" Shi Sheng's face turned serious as he finished speaking. Wang Bo's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness, staring intently at Shi Sheng for a long time without saying a word. Lin Wan'er, on the other hand, felt somewhat embarrassed.
