The Great Doctor Girl

Huang Junze and I followed Taoist Master Yiyun closely, like warriors about to step into an unknown abyss. Every step was filled with nervousness and anticipation.

When we arrived at the second test site, the scene hit us like a hammer. The stone formation before us was tightly wrapped in the art of Qimen Dunjia, and the mysterious and dangerous aura filled the air like a thick fog, making us shudder.

Taoist Master Yiyun's face was as solemn as steel, and his voice was serious and low: "This is a maze of stone formations, endlessly changing, and peril lurks at every turn. You will need supreme wisdom and steel-like determination to find the right path to life. Remember, if you are impatient, you will be trapped in this endless darkness, with no hope of recovery."

Huang Junze and I exchanged a glance, and in that instant, it felt as if an electric current connected our gazes, conveying fearless determination and unwavering faith. Then, like two cautious fledgling swallows, we stepped into this unknown and perilous stone formation.

At first, intuition and simple reasoning illuminated our path like bright lights, allowing us to move forward steadily. However, fate's gears began to turn relentlessly. As we deepened deeper into the stone formations, their transformations grew increasingly complex and treacherous, like the writhing form of a demon. The surrounding stones seemed to come alive, shifting frantically. The once clear path vanished in an instant, replaced by chaos.

Huang Junze's impatience was fully revealed. Seeing the slow progress, the anxiety in his eyes burned like a flame, eager to break through this predicament immediately. I hurriedly reached out to grab him, my voice urgent and firm, "Don't worry, Junze! The more impatient you are now, the more likely you are to fall into an abyss of no return. Impulsiveness will only be our death warrant!"

However, before my words had fully landed, Huang Junze accidentally triggered a hidden mechanism. Suddenly, arrows tore through us from all directions like a torrential downpour, their sharp arrowheads flashing with the cold light of death. We desperately dodged in this narrow space, each evasion akin to dancing on the tightrope of life and death. A single misstep would result in a thousand arrows piercing our hearts.

We finally escaped from the deadly arrow attack and before we could even catch our breath, the ground suddenly began to shake violently. Bottomless cracks appeared under our feet like the devil's gaping bloody mouth, as if they were going to swallow us whole.

Our hearts thundered in our chests, each beat tinged with fear of death. We were forced to search for a foothold ever more cautiously, our eyes fixed on the ever-changing layout of the stone formations, not daring to slack off even for a moment. Just as we were on the verge of collapse from the constant onslaught of difficulties, I, relying on my keen intuition, discovered a subtle symbol engraved on the stone.

"Junze, look here!" I shouted excitedly, my voice trembling with the feeling of surviving a disaster, as if I had grabbed the last straw.

Huang Junze came over quickly like an arrow shot from a bow, his brows furrowed, his eyes fixed on the symbol. After studying it carefully, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes: "Could this be a clue to a way out?"

Just as we joyfully prepared to follow this clue, fate once again wore a grim smile upon us. A thick, inky fog suddenly rose around us, instantly obscuring our vision. The world seemed to plunge into endless darkness. Relying on hazy memories and barely perceptible senses, we groped our way forward in this darkness. But fate, seemingly unsatisfied with our suffering, relentlessly pushed us into a dead end with each attempt. The shadow of despair began to creep over us.

Throughout this seemingly endless and arduous journey, the trust and tacit understanding between Huang Junze and I, like a star in the darkness, gradually shone and grew deeper. We were no longer isolated individuals, but a closely connected, inseparable whole. In every decision, we listened carefully to each other's voices, fully considered each other's opinions, and supported and relied on each other.

Time slipped away like quicksand, our strength and energy being eroded bit by bit. Sweat had already soaked our clothes, and every inch of our skin was etched with fatigue. But the flame of hope burning in our hearts remained unextinguished. We constantly tried every possible way out, never giving up, even if the hope seemed slim.

Finally, at the moment when we were almost swallowed by despair, Huang Junze involuntarily took my hand. In that instant, a warm and powerful force seemed to surge out from his palm, like a clear spring pouring into my dry and exhausted body, instantly filling me with energy.

Just then, as if by divine mercy, we were pleasantly surprised to see a faint ray of light peeking through a crack in the rock. Though as thin as a hair, the light shone remarkably brightly amidst the endless darkness, like a beacon in the darkness, offering us a final ray of hope. We painstakingly groped our way in the direction of the light, enduring countless setbacks and falls before finally discovering a hidden passage.

When we finally broke through the numerous difficulties and found the exit of the stone formation, tears of excitement blurred our eyes. When we walked out of the stone formation, Taoist Master Yiyun was standing quietly at the door to greet us. And I looked closely. Isn't this the place we just walked into?

Taoist Master Yiyun nodded slightly, a subtle flicker of approval in his eyes: "Yes, you have passed the second test. Next, the final test."

He led us to a dark, damp chamber, where an ancient, mysterious bronze statue stood. Taoist Master Yiyun's voice echoed through the chamber, like a verdict from the underworld: "This is a test of the mind. You must face your deepest fears and desires. Only by conquering them can you obtain the Chaos Orb."

I took a deep breath, as if drawing all the courage in the world into my lungs, and bravely stepped into the secret room. The scene before me instantly changed, and I was transported back to the lonely and helpless days of my childhood. The death of my parents was like a ruthless sword, instantly shattering my world. I cried alone in the darkness, a feeling of weakness and powerlessness once again enveloping me.

This time, a far more cruel scene unfolded. I watched Huang Junze and the woman he deeply loved walk hand in hand into the sacred marriage hall, the light of happiness stinging my eyes. Yet, like a forgotten shadow, I gradually faded from Huang Junze's life, my life draining away.

The pain in my heart hit me like a tsunami, and a voice roared wildly in my heart: "See, this is your fate. You will always be the abandoned and forgotten poor thing."

Another voice was desperately resisting: "No, this is not real! This is just an illusion, used to confuse me, I can't be defeated by it!"

"This is reality. You can't escape it. You will never get the happiness you want."

"No, Huang Junze and I have been through so much together. We have the same goal. He would never do this to me! I cannot be defeated by this false scene."

The inner struggle made me so painful that I almost fainted. Tears welled up in my eyes, but I bit my lips stubbornly to hold them back.

Huang Junze, for his part, watched as the company he had poured his heart and soul into faced bankruptcy, all his efforts going to waste. His once-familiar family deserted him, and his once-close friends turned against him, mocking and ridiculing him.

"It's over, everything is over, I have nothing left, I have completely failed."

"Don't give up, this isn't real, it's just a test, you have to get through it!"

"But all this is too real, I really can't bear it, I'm so tired..."

"Think about Luo Shu, think about the oath you made together. You can't just fall down like this. You have to stand up!"

Huang Junze held his head with his hands, squatted on the ground in pain, and gasped for breath, as if trying to exhale all the despair in his heart.

At this crucial moment, Huang Junze and I felt a telepathic connection. Our eyes met, and in that instant, our pain and struggle became clear. We recalled the hardships and perseverance along the way, and the companionship and trust we had shared. The ups and downs we had weathered together, the heartwarming moments of mutual support, were like a powerful force infused into our souls.

Finally, I called out Huang Junze's name, and he looked at me with a renewed flame of hope. With our unwavering will and unwavering faith in each other, we struggled to escape this terrifying illusion.

Taoist Master Yiyun smiled and said, "Congratulations, you've passed the test. You've obtained the Chaos Spirit Pearl. Go and break the evil Seventy-Two Nail Formation."

"I have obtained the Chaos Spirit Pearl? Taoist priest...?" Before I could finish asking the Taoist priest's question, I saw the golden ball rushing towards my mouth at lightning speed, and then it was pushed into my body by a powerful force!

This test not only allowed us to successfully obtain the Chaos Orb, but also made the relationship between Huang Junze and I as solid as a rock, and we became close friends who could fight side by side and overcome difficulties together.

We happily left Tianji Dao Pavilion with the Chaos Spirit Pearl, ready to face the more difficult challenges ahead.

It was already early morning when we arrived in the city center.

Although this day of running around was quite tiring, it was also very rewarding.

After saying goodbye to Huang Junze, I planned to come back and have a good rest.

After a long day of exhaustion, my energy was nearly depleted. Now, I could only rely on the Eight Trigrams Life-Nourishing Formation to recharge my batteries. I locked the doors and windows, carefully checked them several times, and only after ensuring there were no omissions did I set up the formation. Once everything was in place, I lay down at the center of the formation and quickly fell into a deep sleep. As long as no one disturbed me, this was undoubtedly the best way to replenish my energy.

I slept exceptionally soundly that night.

The next day, I opened the door of the clinic as usual, waiting for the results of Huang Junze's investigation.
