The Great Doctor Girl

The Big Dipper sets in the west, and the night is as dark as ink, so thick that it cannot be dissolved.

In the medical office, the cinnabar in my hand slowly blended with the dew, and every movement was solemn. In this silent night, I seemed to hear the echo of time.

After a while, a Nine Palace Flying Star Formation took shape in my hands.

Jing Shuo squatted in the Kan position, holding the ancient bronze compass in his hands, his expression focused. Suddenly, as if he had discovered some shocking secret, he pointed at the Zhen Palace and said in a voice filled with nervous excitement, "Mom! The magnetic needle here is drawing a symbol!" I and the others immediately gathered around. We saw the compass's golden needle moving without wind. Under the cold moonlight, as if guided by an invisible hand, it outlined the contours of the Lingshan Temple Pagoda Forest.

"It's the earth's veins giving me a warning." I frowned, a surge of unease rising within me. I quickly lit three sticks of incense to ward off evil spirits. The smoke curled upward, forming a line from the "House Sutra": "Damage to the pagoda forest north of the temple will harm the master's fetus." Seeing this, everyone's faces grew solemn.

Xia Ruoxi held the mountain map in her hands and exclaimed, "Talin just suppresses the vitality of the medical hall. No wonder the children have been crying at night recently!" As soon as these words came out, everyone felt even more uneasy, as if a huge crisis was quietly approaching.

Zhen Lingyue unfolded an old almanac from twenty years ago. Though he knew nothing about feng shui, his years of experience at the National Bureau 749 had given him a unique sensitivity to mysteries. His finger slowly moved across the almanac. Suddenly, as if he had discovered a key clue, he circled a date with a cinnabar pen: "In the year of Yiyou, the Three Evils were in the west. Perhaps someone set up a suppression system in Talin that year." He paused briefly before continuing, "Look at this! Seven days before Jing Suo and Yining were born, it was the beginning of the Spring solar term!" His voice was remarkably clear in the still night, each word like a pebble dropped into a calm lake, stirring ripples.

Qingyao's Qinglong ruler suddenly let out a long, deep roar, as if traversing a tunnel of time and space. A map of the Tallinn underground river appeared on the ruler, and Qingyao's face darkened. "The water vein has been diverted! Now there's a Yinsha River beneath the Tallinn!" These words startled everyone, further heightening the already tense atmosphere.

Bixuan tossed three Kaiyuan Tongbao coins, which traced three arcs in the air before stacking up in the Xun position, forming a pagoda. Her voice was filled with conviction: "Someone is using the 'Nine Bends Yellow Springs Game' to alter the fates of children!" Everyone gasped at the thought of the extremely evil occult technique being used on children.

I knew the situation was critical, so I immediately took out the five-colored silk threads and wrapped them around the twins' wrists: "Jing Suo wears the blue and black colors to calm the liver wood, and Yi Ning wears the red and white threads to replenish the heart fire." As I spoke, I carefully checked the winding of the silk threads, not allowing any mistakes.

He also asked Xin Xin to hang peach wood lightning-struck talismans at the four corners of the medical hall. The names of the medicines in "Qian Jin Fang" were written in cinnabar on the talismans, and every stroke contained ancient power.

"The altar will be opened at 3:30 am!" I waved the jujube wood flag passed down by my master, and my voice was firm and powerful, echoing in the night sky: "Ruoxi prepares realgar wine, Lingyue guards the Li Palace, Qingyao and Bixuan suppress the Gen and Dui gates!" Everyone immediately took their positions, ready to face the upcoming unknown challenges.

As the moon reached its zenith, something unexpected happened. Yining's mandala birthmark suddenly oozed black blood, a dark effect that looked eerie in the moonlight. The compass in Jing Suo's arms exploded, its twelve Earthly Branches swirling in a pattern that formed the ominous sign of "Guishui Chongtai." I immediately inserted the Four Symbols needles into their Taiyuan acupoints. Ganoderma-like mycelium sprouted from the needles' tails, a sight that stunned everyone.

Realgar wine is brewed with mugwort harvested at noon on the Dragon Boat Festival. A fragment of the Yellow Emperor's Toad Classic is placed on the wine jar. Every step adheres to ancient tradition, and no care is taken. A wooden talisman struck by lightning is engraved with a diagram corresponding to the twenty-eight constellations and the five internal organs. The intricate pattern holds the secrets of heaven and earth. Jing Suo's compass contains the sixty-year cycle and the five elements wheel. This is the compass's core secret and the key to solving the mystery. Yining's silk thread is infused with purple river car powder and cinnabar, corresponding to the innate fetal energy. Every strand of powder carries the hope of life.

At midnight, a chilling wind suddenly rose, sending chills down people's spines. From the direction of Tallin came the sound of iron chains dragging across the ground, a sound like a curse from hell, chilling everyone's spines. Qingyao's Qinglong ruler suddenly pointed to the Kun position, her expression tense: "The evil spirit is coming from the southwest!" Everyone immediately became alert as they saw seven paper figurines carrying a black sedan. The curtains were embroidered with a reversed Bagua pattern, a pattern that seemed to hold an infinite magical power, making anyone afraid to look directly at it.

Bixuan immediately sprinkled glutinous rice mixed with rhino horn powder. The rice traced arcs in the air, then burst into a burst of bluish-purple flames. "It's the Form Refining Technique!" I waved the command flag and shouted, "Lingyue, pour the realgar wine, Ruoxi, chant the 'Demon Capture Spell'!" Lingyue poured the realgar wine without hesitation, and it shimmered with a strange glow in the moonlight. Xia Ruoxi immediately activated the Heavenly Doctor Technique, her chant resonating with the pagoda forest's Buddhist bells, a sound that seemed to pierce the soul. Under this powerful impact, the paper figurine suddenly combusted into ash.

A clay pot rolled out from the ashes, containing the twins' fetal hair and seven nails in the reversed five-element pattern. Jing Suo suddenly pointed to the bottom of the pot and said, "Mom, look! There's a golden dividing line here!" This discovery brought us one step closer to the truth.

I measured with a compass and gasped, "This golden line points directly to the cave where my master retreated twenty years ago!"

Qingyao used the Qinglong ruler to split the pottery jar, and the water flowed on the ground to form a sentence from "Qing Nang Secret Language": "To seize the fetus and change the bones, one must obtain the innate Qi." Seeing this scene, I suddenly remembered the strange phenomenon when Jing Suo and Yining were born - that night the Big Dipper was upside down, and the river map pattern automatically appeared on the floor of the delivery room.

I hurriedly opened the delivery notes left by my mother. On the yellowed paper, it was written: "Twins are born with the star of heavenly medicine, so you need to be careful of the conflict between Zi and Wu, which may cause the fetus to be taken away!" This dusty memory gave us a deeper understanding of this conspiracy.

"Feng Shui kills without a knife," I crushed the Reverse Five Elements Nail, my voice filled with anger and helplessness. "These seven nails hold down the destiny of medicine."

Jing Shuo played with the burnt paper figurine with a naive look on his face: "The bad guy is even more naughty than me, hiding a mechanism in the amniotic sac!"

Qingyao inserted the Qinglong ruler into the earth veins, her expression firm: "Today we are not breaking a bad situation, but the deadly scissors that have been hanging over the heads of traditional Chinese medicine for three hundred years!"

Suddenly, a special patient came to the medical clinic - his palm lines were exactly the same as the paper man who destroyed the Feng Shui Bureau of Tallinn, and this person was the Feng Shui consultant of Huang Junhao Group.

This discovery made us realize that the conspiracy behind this might be far more complicated than we imagined, so we decided to continue our investigation along the clues.

We found that all the evidence gradually pointed to a mysterious cave.

After everything was ready, Qingyao, Bixuan and I set off for Mount Paektu with our two children.

As we trekked all the way to Mount Paektu, a faint blue mist slowly emerged from the depths of the cave. The mist seemed to be filled with countless whispers, which seemed far and near, like a dream.

A trace of fear flashed in Jing Shuo's eyes. He subconsciously hid behind me and grabbed the corner of my clothes tightly: "Mom, this sound is so scary, like a lot of people crying." I patted his hand gently, motioning him not to be afraid, but my heartbeat involuntarily quickened.

Suddenly, a dazzling light shot out from the depths of the cave, and everyone subconsciously closed their eyes.

When the light faded and I opened my eyes again, I saw a huge scene. Mr. Ping was wearing a tattered Taoist robe, his face was haggard but his eyes were firm. Behind him was an ancient Taoist temple with three big characters "Ji Shi Guan" written on its plaque.

"Luoshu, you've finally come to see Master." Mr. Ping's voice echoed through the cave, a mixture of relief and eagerness. "Twenty-six years ago, I set up the Evil Suppression Scheme in Talin to seal this mysterious power. This Star Essence, the essence of the universe at its inception, possesses the power to rewrite destiny, but it also attracts the covetousness of countless those with ulterior motives."

I was shocked and couldn't help asking, "Master, what does this have to do with the children's fate and Huang Junze's crisis?"

Mr. Ping sighed softly, his gaze falling on Yining and Jing Shuo. "These two children, born with the Heavenly Doctor Star, are the key to resolving this crisis. As for Huang Junze, his fate has long been closely tied to yours. Back then, to save you, I injected a portion of his Star Marrow into you, but I never imagined it would bring about his own death. Now, those people want to exploit the children's fates, unseal the Star Marrow, gain the power within, and thus control the fate of the entire world."

Hearing this, everyone gasped. Qingyao clenched the Qinglong ruler in her hand, her eyes flashing with anger: "We will never let them succeed!"

Mr. Ping nodded and continued, "Deep within this cave lies a strange ancient book called The Book of Destiny. It contains the solution to all these problems, but it also hides a great danger. You must find it before the beginning of spring, or everything will be irreversible."

As the words fell, the image faded. The cave fell into silence again, with only the sound of our heavy breathing.

"Let's go in and take a look." I took a deep breath and walked towards the depths of the cave. Everyone followed closely behind me, holding their own magic tools tightly in their hands, always alert to any movement around them.

The further we went, the narrower the cave became, and the air was filled with a damp and decaying smell. Suddenly, a stone door appeared in front of us, engraved with strange symbols and patterns, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.

Bixuan stepped forward and carefully studied the symbols on the stone gate. After a moment, he frowned and said, "This is an ancient text. I have seen it in ancient books. It records the method to open the stone gate. It requires the blood and star marrow of children as an inducement."

I hesitated for a moment, looking at Yining and Jingshuo, feeling reluctant. But now, in order to save Huang Junze and resolve this crisis, it seemed there was no other way.

Jing Shuo seemed to see what I was thinking. He bravely took a step forward and stretched out his little hand: "Mom, I'm not afraid. I'm willing to do anything as long as I can save Dad." Yining also nodded firmly and stretched out his hand like his brother.

My eyes welled up, and I fought back the tears. I took out the Four Symbols Needle and gently pierced their fingertips. Two drops of blood landed on the stone door, instantly merging into it. Immediately afterwards, the astral marrow light from Yining's birthmark slowly flew out and sank into the stone door.

There was a loud "boom" and the stone door slowly opened, and a powerful force rushed towards us.
