Eternal madness

Chapter 64 Laifu cures the disease
Magistrate Yao, accompanied by his steward and servants, led Li Yunsheng, Zhang Laifu, and Huang Zhaocai to the main courtyard. The main courtyard was astonishingly large. As they passed through the garden, Zhang Laifu saw three pavilions alone, and there was also a tower that was even larger than the bamboo house where Zhang Laifu lived.

Thinking of his bamboo house, Zhang Laifu noticed a detail: the courtyard was full of exotic flowers and plants, which still bloomed in the cold winter, but there was no bamboo.

"I'd rather go without meat than live without bamboo." Shouldn't wealthy families have bamboo?
Moreover, this is a bamboo forest, and it is indeed rare to find a place without bamboo.

Yao Deshan, the son of Magistrate Yao, lived in the east wing. When the group arrived at the door of the room, they saw a man sitting motionless at the door, holding a chamber pot in his arms.

Zhang Laifu stepped forward and said, "This must be the young master. Why is he sleeping outside? Isn't he afraid of catching a cold?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Laifu. How could someone sleeping by the door while hugging a chamber pot be the young master? This was clearly a servant.

Butler Luo stepped forward and kicked the man: "Get up! What are you doing sleeping here? What kind of mess is this?"

The man remained seated, and the butler kicked him twice more, but Li Yunsheng stopped him.

Something was wrong with this person. Li Yunsheng checked his breathing, and found that he was no longer breathing.

Governor Yao was startled: "Could it be that he was also harmed by evil spirits?"

The butler instructed his men, "Take it out quickly, don't leave it here."

The servants were about to reach out when Li Yunsheng stopped them.

Li Yunsheng lit an incense stick, blew off the ash, and used the burning tip to heat the man's palm.

The man didn't react, so Li Yunsheng burned the incense stick onto the sole of his foot.

The man reacted slightly, and Li Yunsheng then burned the incense stick onto the man's lips.

He held incense in his right hand and lit a candle in his left, slowly chanting: "A last wisp of breath, follow me to continue the cycle, the lamp of healing will never go out, illuminating your heart and soul. My command has been given, the gate of life will turn, the broken rope will be rejoined, and the path of life will be safe again. Soul, do not wander, spirit, do not roam, follow me back, and step into the human world once more."

Less than a minute later, the man finally woke up.

He stared at Li Yunsheng for a long time, his eyes filled with tears, wanting to thank him.

Suddenly hearing Magistrate Yao cough beside him, the man quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Sir, I served the young master all night last night, and there was no one to relieve me this morning. I really couldn't stay awake any longer, so I fell asleep here..."

boom! boom! boom!
The man kept kowtowing, and Li Yunsheng quickly helped him up: "You've overworked yourself, you need to rest now, otherwise your life could be in danger."

Governor Yao waved to the butler, who then said to the man, "Go back and rest for a while."

The man thanked him profusely, bowed his head, and staggered away.

Zhang Laifu was still watching the man's back when he suddenly heard Magistrate Yao praise Li Yunsheng: "Sir, you actually have the ability to bring the dead back to life. You are truly a divine person of our time."

"You flatter me." Li Yunsheng exchanged a few polite words with Magistrate Yao and then pushed open the door to the side room.

There were two servants in the room, both with sunken eyes, pale faces, and exhausted.

Young Master Yao Deshan lay on the bed. He looked to be in his early thirties, with round cheeks and an oily complexion. He was in good health, but his behavior was somewhat strange.

He stretched his arms out in front of his chest, sometimes spreading them out to the sides, sometimes bringing them together.

Zhang Laifu stared at the young man for a long time, but Yao Deshan didn't notice Zhang Laifu at all. His eyes were always looking straight ahead, and he always had a smile on his face.

His smile was excited, and Yao Deshan's eyes shone brightly, as if there were two doors leading to a new world in front of him, which he opened and closed repeatedly.

Governor Yao sighed, "These symptoms have been going on for more than half a month. Whenever they flare up, the person dances wildly, talks nonsense, and doesn't sleep or rest."

Everything else is fine, but the key is that once he gets sick, he won't eat anything, and he'll stay sick for a whole day. Who can stand not eating or drinking for a whole day?

We've consulted many renowned veterinarians and tried numerous remedies, and although there were occasional improvements, the symptoms would always relapse within a few days, leaving the puppy in this state of distress.

More than half a month has passed?
Li Yunsheng's heart tightened; this was different from the information he had previously known.

The message he received was that Young Master Yao had fallen ill the day before yesterday; it was a sudden and serious illness, which he was somewhat certain of.

Young Master Yao has been ill for over half a month now. He must have sought treatment from others before, and given the Yao family's wealth, they certainly wouldn't have sought out ordinary people. If even a highly skilled doctor couldn't cure him, Li Yunsheng wasn't entirely confident. Moreover, the situation he had previously worried about had indeed occurred: Young Master Yao's illness was recurring, which proved that there was likely an evil spirit in the mansion.

In terms of exorcising evil spirits, the Celestial Master clearly has the advantage. Li Yunsheng glanced back at Huang Zhaocai, who was also looking at the young master.

He claimed to be a fourth-level Celestial Master, but he remained silent at this moment.

If this is an evil spirit that even he cannot deal with, what can Li Yunsheng do?
"Miracle doctor, do you have a good remedy?" Yao Renhuai asked Li Yunsheng first, as he had a very good impression of Li Yunsheng.

Li Yunsheng lit incense and candles, took out talismans, and prepared to begin treating the illness when he suddenly heard Yao Deshan shout at him, "Get lost! You traveling swindler, if you dare touch me, I'll skin you alive!"

Zhang Laifu asked Magistrate Yao, "Is he possessed by a ghost?"

"Bullshit! You're the one possessed!" Yao Deshan, lying on the bed, cursed at Zhang Laifu and Li Yunsheng. "I'm telling you two, you bastards, get out! Didn't you hear me?"

Li Yunsheng looked at Magistrate Yao, who waved his hand and said, "He's always like this when he has an attack. Don't take it to heart, just focus on getting him treated."

"I'm not sick!" Yao Deshan glared at Li Yunsheng. "I told you to get out, didn't you understand?"

Li Yunsheng held the talisman for a long time without moving it. The steward urged, "Hurry up and treat the illness. What are you waiting for?"

"What illness are you treating?" Yao Deshan sat up, pointing at Li Yunsheng, "Get out! How thick-skinned are you? How despicable are you? I told you to get out, are you deaf? Can't you hear me..."

Snapped!
Zhang Laifu slapped Yao Deshan across the face, the slap ringing out loudly.

Magistrate Yao was stunned, and the servants were also dumbfounded.

Yao Deshan covered his face and looked at Zhang Laifu: "You son of a bitch, how dare you hit me..."

Snapped!
Zhang Laifu slapped Yao Deshan again, but Yao Deshan didn't react at all, and another five-finger mark appeared on his face.

“You hit me…” Yao Deshan got up and grabbed Zhang Laifu.

Snapped!
Zhang Laifu slapped Yao Deshan squarely across the face, causing blood to gush from his nose and mouth, and he collapsed onto the bed.

The paper lantern maker was quick; he slapped Zhang Laifu three times before the butler came to his senses and grabbed Zhang Laifu, saying, "What are you doing? Why did you hit our young master?"

Zhang Laifu pushed the butler away: "I'm here to treat his illness."

"You've gone too far! Guards!" the steward roared, and three guards entered from outside.

These three guards were all skilled craftsmen, and they rushed forward to pin Zhang Laifu down.

Li Yunsheng flicked a talisman and stood in front of Zhang Laifu. Just as the two were about to fight, Huang Zhaocai suddenly spoke up: "He is indeed a healer. Just now, the young master was possessed by a ghost, and this friend slapped the evil spirit away with a few slaps."

"You're talking nonsense!" Yao Deshan pointed at Huang Zhaocai, about to start cursing, but Zhang Laifu raised his hand, and Yao Deshan covered his face, not daring to say a word.

Governor Yao looked at Zhang Laifu with a chilling gaze; no one had ever dared to lay a hand on his son to his face.

Zhang Laifu looked at Magistrate Yao with blank eyes, showing no remorse or fear.

call!
The talisman in Li Yunsheng's hand caught fire.

Several guards prepared to take action; they would never underestimate their opponent if he was a craftsman.

Li Yunsheng didn't intend to fight them. The talisman burned out, and the ashes scattered, landing on Yao Deshan's face. Yao Deshan's eyes were blinded, and a string of words appeared before his eyes.

"A talisman will open your stomach and spleen. All the flavors in the bowl will taste delicious. With sufficient energy, you will feel at ease and become plump. Undigested food will disappear on its own."

Yao Deshan rubbed his eyes and then his stomach.

Guruluulu~
My stomach is growling.

Yao Deshan looked at the housekeeper and said, "Get me something to eat, I'm hungry."
