Chapter 38: Dongling Medical King Fei Kuang's Web

  At night, Xiaolong slept quietly beside Zhang Jun's bed, while the Shangyang couple stayed in the next room and could come over at any noise. Zhang Jun thought about what happened on the plane and couldn't figure it out, so he couldn't help but call Huabu Yi.

  The phone was answered and Hua Buqi said: "Zhang Jun, what's up?"

  "Master, yesterday after I got off the train, I was being chased and killed by someone. It should be Xu Bo's people who did it."

  Hua Bu Yi said: "I'll let Zhang Wu handle this matter, don't ask about it anymore."

  "Yes. There's one more thing." Zhang Jun said, then recounted what happened on the plane.

  Hua Bu Yi remained silent for a moment, then said: "Indeed, it's the body of a true immortal. It can actually see ghosts and spirits. What you said is correct. According to folklore, that is indeed a female ghost."

  Zhang Jun was shocked: "Master, is there really a ghost in the world?"

  "The universe is vast and mysterious, with many wonders that we ordinary people can't fully comprehend. Let's just call this phenomenon a ghost for now; as for where ghosts come from and where they go, that's not something I can know."

  "Master, there's a saying that ghosts are a kind of fluctuating energy. When this energy wave resonates with human brain waves, people can see ghosts. Is this true?"

  "You're not wrong in thinking so, but only ghosts know the truth." Huabu Yi said with a joke.

  Zhang Jun smiled and said, "Master, I think we can cure the little boy's illness."

  Hua Bu Yi: "The medical skills of Dong Ling Yi Wang are passable, but this person has a narrow mind. You'd better not associate with him, it's not good for you."

  "Yes, I understand, Master." Zhang Jun said.

  He hung up the phone, but Zhang Jun was not giving up. He stared at Xiaolong for half the night, trying to figure out where the ghost was hiding in his body, unfortunately, he didn't find anything.

  "Based on the theory that ghosts are brain waves, could a female ghost be in Xiaolong's brain waves? But how can we see brain waves? Can we use X-ray vision?"

  After a sleepless night, he finally fell asleep at 3 or 4 in the morning. When he woke up, he found Xiaolong sitting on his bed, smiling at him. Seeing that he was awake, Xiaolong said with unclear articulation: "Uncle, I want to pee."

  He looked at his watch and found it was already past eight o'clock, so he hurriedly got out of bed with Xiaolong to relieve himself. After washing up, he and Xiaolong went to find Shangyang couple and found that they had already prepared breakfast.

  Shang Yang said with gratitude: "Mr. Zhang, I'm troubling you for a whole night, I really can't thank you enough."

  Zhang Jun waved his hand and said, "Nothing. Brother Shang, from now on don't call me Mr. Zhang, it sounds awkward, just call me Zhang Jun."

  Shang Yang smiled and said: "Alright, I'll be presumptuous then, and call you younger brother."

  Breakfast was simple but tasted good. After finishing eating, Zhang Jun said: "Later I'll go see Doctor Wang Dongling."

  Shang Yang said: "Of course, without you, little brother, I wouldn't feel at ease either." Then he asked, "Little brother, can Xiaolong's illness be cured or not?"

  Zhang Jun thought for a moment and said: "I don't have full confidence, let Dongling Medical King diagnose and treat first, if it doesn't work, I'll think of another way."

  The three of them chatted casually, and before they knew it, it was already past 12 noon. However, no matter how long they waited, the so-called "Dongling Medical King" did not show up. The middle-aged man in charge of receiving Shangyang was getting anxious, sweating profusely, and repeatedly making phone calls to urge him.

  Shang Yang was as calm as a mirror, thinking that this famous doctor's arrival was quite grand, and it wasn't necessarily intentional to be late, so he didn't rush. He ordered people to serve lunch. After finishing lunch, at two o'clock in the afternoon, Doctor Wang from Dongling finally arrived.

  In the luxurious suite on the 18th floor, Shang Yang and Zhang Jun's group met with Dongling Medical King Gu Mo Sheng. Gu Mo Sheng looked to be in his fifties, slightly plump, with a head of black hair and a ruddy complexion.

  Behind him, a dozen or so people followed, including men and women, young and middle-aged, all of whom appeared to be his students or assistants.

  "Mr. Gu, you've finally arrived! Please take a seat."

  Gu Mo-sheng sat on the main seat, calmly saying: "Something has delayed me a bit, Mr. Shang please don't blame me."

  "How dare I, how dare I." Shang Yang was extremely polite, "Please, Master Gu, display your remarkable skills and save my child."

  Gu Mo Sheng took a sip of tea and slowly said: "Bring the child over."

  The merchant's wife hastily brought the child over and had Gu Mo examine his pulse. He closed his eyes, thought for a moment, furrowed his brow slightly, then looked at the child's tongue coating again before asking about the child's symptoms.

  After listening, he pondered for a moment and said: "Looking at the pulse, the child's problem is not big, just some mental confusion, it should be due to being frightened. I'll prescribe a few doses of medicine first, let's see the effect."

  After finishing speaking, a long-faced young man behind him brought paper and pen, and Gu Shen Yi quickly wrote a prescription and handed it to Shang Yang.

  Shang Yang took the prescription and glanced at it, his face stiff with unspoken words. Zhang Jun stood on the other side, seeing through it, and clearly read the contents of the prescription.

  Gu Mo Sheng stood up and said: "Take the medicine for a period of time, then come back to see me again." After finishing speaking, he actually wanted to leave.

  "Mr. Gu, this Brother Zhang is aware of Xiao Long's condition. You are both experts, can't you come up with a solution to cure Xiao Long's illness as soon as possible?"

  Everyone's eyes were on Zhang Jun, and upon discovering how young he was, someone in Gu Mosheng's entourage sneered: "Not just anyone can discuss medicine with Master Gu, after all."

  Zhang Jun didn't get angry either, he just smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

  Gu Mo looked at Zhang Jun and asked: "Are you a doctor too?"

  "Not for now, but I'm preparing to study medicine."

  Everyone was stunned, and many people burst out laughing. Someone said, "At this age, you still want to study medicine? I think it's about time you learned how to get sick."

  "Let someone who doesn't even have medical skills discuss treatment with Master, isn't that a joke?"

  "The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. Eight out of ten are probably just a bunch of scoundrels running around cheating people out of food and drink."

  After Mr. Gu's death, those people found it increasingly difficult to talk about him, and eventually they even resorted to personal attacks. Zhang Jun, no matter how good his temper was, couldn't tolerate others insulting him like that, so he coldly said: "Although I'm not a doctor, I can cure illnesses. As for you gentlemen, who are presumably Mr. Gu's disciples, which one of you can cure Xiao Long's illness?"

  These people are mostly doctors from various places in Dongling, more or less related to Gu Mo Sheng, and following him to broaden their horizons and improve their skills, all of whom can be considered as half-disciples of Gu Mo Sheng.

  As soon as they heard Zhang Jun dare to retort, they immediately became enraged. These people have always liked to gang up and immediately shouted in unison: "Can you even cure illnesses? You little brat, this is not a place for you to brag."

  Gu Mo Sheng slightly furrowed his brow and said: "You say you can cure it?"

  Zhang Jun didn't answer, but instead asked: "Can't you cure it?" The people behind Gu Mo Sheng were chattering and making him feel disgusted. Moreover, he had no good impression of the arrogant Gu Mo Sheng, so he spoke without reserve.

  Gu Mo Sheng snorted, seemingly too lazy to talk to a nobody like Zhang Jun. But the tall-faced young man behind him stepped forward, glaring at Zhang Jun and shouting: "What are you, daring to speak with Master Gu? Scram while you still can, or else you'll be sorry!"

  These people, one word and another, with no good words, even the good-tempered Shang Yang showed a displeased face. He said in a low voice: "Mr. Gu, before you, six famous doctors have opened the same prescription, unfortunately this prescription has no help to the child's illness."

  Gu Mo's face changed, and he looked displeased, saying: "Since Mr. Shang doesn't believe in my medical skills, why did you ask me to come?"

  Shang Yang looked at Zhang Jun, who understood his meaning and nodded, saying: "It seems that Dr. Gu is unable to cure Xiao Long after all, let's just let him go, no need to waste any more time."

  As soon as he spoke, the room erupted in anger. The dozen or so people present all showed furious expressions, staring at Zhang Jun with cold ridicule and even insults.

  "Bullshit! You're a swindler and you dare question Dr. Gu's skills? How ignorant of the heavens and the earth!"

  "Master Gu has cured countless mysterious and stubborn diseases, all of which were cured with just a touch. What does a small person like you know? You dare to speak nonsense here, ruining the reputation of Master Gu, it's simply a crime punishable by death."

  "Report to the authorities at once and have this scoundrel arrested. He dares to spread rumors and slander Master Gu, saying that he must be detained for ten days or half a month as an example."

  Zhang Jun burst out laughing, his laughter causing everyone to shut their mouths. He said disdainfully: "No means no, no matter how you put it, it's still not possible. What kind of crappy doctor is this? I think he's just a mediocre doctor."

  He was also furious, a group of people biting like mad dogs, anyone would be angry. Since the other party gave him a slap in the face, he simply spoke without courtesy and directly attacked Gu Mo Sheng verbally.

  Gu Mo Sheng took a deep breath and asked: "So, can you cure this illness?"

  "This is my business and has nothing to do with you. You can all leave now. Just don't call yourself the King of Medicine from now on, lest people laugh at you."

  Gu Mo's face turned red with anger and he said, "Young man, watch your words. Sometimes the consequences of misspeaking can be very severe." The sentence had an obvious threatening tone.

  Zhang Jun's face turned cold, and he said: "Gu Mo Sheng, don't use your reputation to bully people. Let me tell you, my master is Hua Bu Yi, his level is higher than yours, his reputation is greater than yours, and his medical ethics are more than yours. Compared to my master, you're not a mediocre doctor, what are you?"

  Upon hearing the name Huabu Yi, both Shang Yang and Gu Mo's faces changed. Shang Yang's face showed a look of surprise and delight, he obviously knew Huabu Yi's reputation, thinking that as a disciple of Hua Shen Yi, he would definitely be able to cure Xiao Long's illness.

  Gu Mo Sheng was shocked at first, and then his eyes revealed a thick sense of resentment, his expression changing unpredictably.

  The people who were present after Mo's death did not know the name of Hua Buqi, they continued to insult and scold him, some even rolled up their sleeves ready to fight.

  The chaotic scene shocked Xiaolong, who suddenly let out a hoarse cry and started wailing, his legs kicking wildly as he looked extremely painful and terrified. The crowd immediately fell silent, their attention all focused on Xiaolong.

  Gu Mo saw this scene, as if he remembered something, a flash of cold light in his eyes, turned to Zhang Jun and said: "Young man, since you are a disciple of Hua Bu Yi, you must have some skills, this child's illness will be handed over to you."
