The Otherworldly God
Chapter 20 The Secret of Baizhi
Le Zheng Yuhua lay down and let Bai Zhi change the bandage. His back was the most severely burned and was also the main site of ulceration.
"If it hurts, just scream. There's nothing to be embarrassed about."
Even though Bai Zhi said so, Le Zheng Yuhua remained silent. Even when Bai Zhi hurt him on purpose, he endured it silently.
"If you don't say anything, how can I know if I hurt you or how much strength I should use."
"It's okay, you continue."
"This is the first time I've seen someone like you. Many people get very nervous when their skin is a little broken, but I didn't even touch them and they cried out in pain. If we're not satisfied with our work, we'll inevitably be criticized. In their eyes, a Taoist priest is very precious, even if he's just an apprentice Taoist priest."
"I saw that Huichuntang was full of medicinal herbs, and the doctor used very traditional medical techniques to treat me. Is there no magic that can heal injuries and diseases?"
"Maybe God took pity on people like me who can't become Taoists, so he didn't make magic omnipotent."
There was a hint of sarcasm in Bai Zhi's tone.
"Does that mean there is no more healing technique?"
Le Zheng Yuhua felt a little disappointed.
"I heard that you were planning to take the Taoist apprentice exam. I can only say that your situation does not allow it. I know it is useless to persuade you, but as a doctor, I have to remind you that you are likely to die in this exam. If you die, what is the point of passing this exam?"
Bai Zhi thought that Le Zheng Yuhua was also the kind of person who "valued" the Taoist profession, and his tone was also very unfriendly.
Le Zheng Yuhua put on her clothes and sat up.
"I won't die."
"Death will not let you go just because of this."
Le Zheng Yuhua saw the copper basin in front of Bai Zhi. It originally contained a basin of green water, but now it had become turbid and there was rotten meat floating in it.
"It looks like the wound on the back is festering badly."
"It's not just the wound, you're also running a fever now, don't you feel anything at all?"
Baizhi's tone was slightly angry.
"I am fine."
Seeing him get up and out of bed, Bai Zhi couldn't help it and spread her arms to block him as a doctor.
"You are fine now, but it will be too late if something happens. Your wound is seriously festering. The burns were not serious at first, and I used the best burn medicine from Huichuntang. But the situation has become more and more serious since you fell unconscious. If it continues to fester, I am afraid that all the flesh on your back will be gone. Even if you can't see it, you should be able to feel how hot your body is. Your consciousness is a little fuzzy, right?"
"Even if I am rotten to the point where only bones are left, I will live on."
"What are you obsessed with that makes you not even afraid of death? Or are you like those people who take the title of Taoist so seriously?"
When Bai Zhi realized that she was out of control and couldn't take back what she had said, she could only think of letting him go. When she was about to let go and walk away, Le Zheng Yuhua spoke.
“I only live for one person.”
Bai Zhi was stunned and slowly put down her arms. Facing Le Zheng Yuhua's determined eyes, Bai Zhi hesitated.
Le Zheng Yuhua carried the Heavenly Sword on his back and walked around Bai Zhi to go out.
"I only live for one person. For her, I am willing to give up everything to live."
Bai Zhi closed her eyes and adjusted her breathing.
"Stop. Le Zheng Yuhua, stop right there."
Le Zheng Yuhua did not stop after the first "Stop" until Bai Zhi shouted the second "Stop" louder and louder.
"Doctor, there is no need to persuade me anymore."
"I'm not going to persuade you."
Baizhi went over and closed the door, even locked it, and closed the window.
"Doctor?"
Bai Zhi stared at him, and when she closed her eyes she saw a familiar face. When she opened her eyes, she really felt that they were so similar.
"You just asked if there is any magic to heal wounds and diseases in this world. I will answer you now that there is. Not only can it heal wounds and diseases, but it can even bring the dead back to life. That is rejuvenation, which was called healing a long time ago.
Healing is different from other spells. You can't learn it just because you want to. People who know it are born with it. The most famous people who have the healing skill are the gods and flower elves, but unfortunately they no longer exist.
Maybe there are bloodlines left behind, and there are still some people in this world who can heal, but there are very few of them. Those who are discovered are all taken over by the major avenue alliance families, and these people often have a hard life. So some people would rather treat themselves as ordinary people all their lives. "
"Like the doctor lady?"
Bai Zhi was startled at first, she didn't expect that he would immediately realize what she had just said casually. He sighed and nodded with difficulty.
"My healing skills came from my mother, who originally lived in a secluded village. In that village, healing skills were not uncommon, and everyone was good at different things. There were no so-called Taoists or non-Taoists, and everyone lived equally, just like the only pure land in the world.
One day, my mother saved a seriously injured person outside the village. The injury was absolutely fatal, but he was fortunately saved by someone in the village. That person was my father, a Taoist from the Bai Clan of the Taoist Alliance. He was thrown off a cliff during a mission and accidentally fell into the barrier.
My father had a mission that he couldn't let go of, so my mother, who was already married to him, resolutely left the village with him. In this way, my father brought my mother back to the family. Originally, the family did not recognize my mother. First, my mother was not a Taoist priest, and second, my mother's origin was unknown. Because my mother was pregnant and had the healing skill, the family naturally accepted her.
The people in the family were very kind to my mother and me, not just because we knew healing skills. Until one day, the secret between my mother and me was known by outsiders. They tried every means to take us away. In the end, in order to protect my mother and me, the whole family was falsely accused of colluding with the demon tribe... My mother took me back to the village, but she was worried about the people in the tribe, so she left me behind.
When I saw my mother again, I could hardly recognize her. She had been tortured beyond recognition and no one remembered her. She became a puppet in their hands. They controlled her to find the village, and she became a waste and was abandoned.
In the end, the village was gone, and the villagers either died or were captured. I don’t know how many people escaped like me. So, I tell you this story to let you know that having healing skills is not a good thing. "
Le Zheng Yuhua couldn't help but sneer and said sarcastically: "So this is what people are like. This is the human heart. Once the human heart is sick, it is an incurable disease."
His words surprised Bai Zhi, and then she laughed.
"I didn't expect you to say such things at such a young age. That's all. I can use my healing skills to heal your wounds, but you have to keep it a secret for me. If this gets out, I will curse you even when I die."
"You can choose to ignore me, why?"
"I don't know why, but seeing you is like seeing an old friend, very familiar. I can't just watch you die. Okay, take off your clothes before I regret it and sit down."
Le Zheng Yuhua put down his sword, took off his clothes and sat down.
It had been a long time since I had used healing magic. Bai Zhi took a deep breath and placed her hand two centimeters away from his back, transferring the power to her palm and then to Le Zheng Yuhua's back. As soon as the power reached Le Zheng Yuhua's back, Bai Zhi withdrew her hand as if she had been stabbed.
"Strange, the wound seems to be cast under some kind of spell."
"what happened?"
"It's okay. I just haven't used it for a long time, so I'm a little rusty."
Bai Zhi tried again, and this time there was nothing unusual, as if the spell had been lifted the first time she cast it.
Soon, Le Zheng Yuhua's wound healed completely, but Le Zheng Yuhua did not remove the bandage.
"Please give me some more medicine."
Baizhi immediately understood what he meant. She applied some of the remaining herbal juice to the bandage, helped him pull his clothes on, and then began to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
"I heard that this assessment is different from previous years. In addition to the previous written test and question-and-answer session, there is one more item this time. This one is required for you, Shui Ling, and Qi Ming to take. There are also some other ones that violate the rules. This one is mainly aimed at you."
"The more they don't want me to live, the more I want to live; the more they don't want me to become a Taoist, the more I want to become a Taoist, and a great Taoist."
Bai Zhi couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.
"I don't know if it's because I'm close to Shui Ling, but I said exactly the same thing."
"Don't worry, whether it's Shui Ling or Qi Ming, the three of us will succeed."
"I'm not worried, but you have to remind Shui Ling and Qi Ming that they must hold back no matter what. If they are found to know magic, they will probably be punished again, not to mention this assessment."
"I understand. Doctor, can I ask you another question?"
"Just ask."
"You just said that healing magic can bring the dead back to life?"
"That requires advanced healing techniques, and no one knows how to do it now."
"That's what someone used to do, right?"
"Yes, there was indeed a person in the village who could do this before, but he disappeared after that incident."
"Missing? Does that mean there's a chance he's still alive?"
"I'm not sure about that. Could it be that you want to resurrect someone?"
Le Zheng Yuhua did not answer, and Bai Zhi also thought of what he said before, "live only for one person", and was so surprised that she could not speak. Knowing that she had guessed it, Le Zheng Yuhua said nothing more and left with the sword.
"So that person has... maybe I shouldn't have told him about the rejuvenation technique. A Taoist? Oops, what I just said is hurting him."
"The most famous people who possessed the power of healing were the gods and flower fairies in the past."
Although Le Zheng Yuhua didn't know what race the flower elves were, nor where to find them, he knew one thing, and that was the one and only god that Le Zheng Shuiling mentioned. From Le Zheng Shuiling's tone, it was estimated that this one and only god was not that great. As long as he could revive Mu Xin, he would go find him even if he was a devil.
"Before that, I must become a Taoist, so I'll set a goal first. Today, I must pass the assessment."
