The Great Doctor Girl

"Sister..." Her voice was weak, and she reached out to touch the blood lotus on my lower back, her eyes revealing complex emotions. "The reason why your master chose you is because only when the yin and yang are combined can..." Before she finished speaking, the ground exploded, and a powerful force broke out of the ground.

Chen Feng's corpse, wrapped in deep-sea algae, slowly rose. The scars on his face were more festering than ever, a terrifying sight. His rotting fingertips clutched a half-piece of jade, the very thing Mr. Ping had found in my swaddling clothes when he saved me. "Good disciple," the corpse uttered an eerie voice, its mouth torn from ear to ear. "Do you really think your master would sacrifice twenty years of his life for an abandoned child?"

"Don't call me that. Don't try to alienate me from my master." I shouted harshly.

At this critical moment, Jing Shuo suddenly rushed forward and snatched my bag of golden needles. The Heavenly Doctor Star Fate shone brightly in his pupils. He was focused, his feet moving with the Yu Step, his movements flowing like water. Twenty-eight golden needles in his hands, like nimble fish, pierced the foundation of the Soul-Calming Pagoda with precision.

Yining also reacted quickly, simultaneously throwing out the medicine grinder. The text from the Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica flowed through the astral marrow and into the earth's veins, emanating an ancient and mysterious power. "Five Movements and Six Qi, rise!" I shouted loudly, then bit my tongue and spurted out a mouthful of blood. The shadow of the Vermillion Bird Feather in the tea space pierced Chen Feng's body, attempting to suppress it.

Huang Junze suddenly tore open his shirt, and a cinnabar talisman that originated from the same source as my marriage certificate appeared on his chest. He looked determined and said loudly: "With my Purple Star Emperor as my guide, I ask the Heavenly Dao to judge!" For a moment, it seemed as if an invisible force was gathering between heaven and earth, and the entire tower forest was shrouded in light.

Under the combined attack, Chen Feng's body shattered, revealing the coordinates of the hidden underwater laboratory. Before dissipating, Su Jingyan's spirit infused the last of her spiritual energy into the crabapple blossoms. She looked at Huang Junze, her eyes filled with relief. "Sister, the flaw in the Rebirth Mantra is..." Before she could finish her words, they transformed into a shower of medicinally scented flowers, dispersing on the wind.

Upon seeing this, Zen Master Wuming clasped his hands together and suddenly struck the morning bell. "Dang—dang—" 108 chimes echoed across the pagoda forest, and 108 jade slips flew out from the base of the Soul-Calming Pagoda. These slips spun rapidly in the air, eventually piecing together the complete Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon. Within this, the "Transferring Essence and Transforming Qi" chapter contained the method for breaking the Nine-Star Devouring Formation.

Seven days later, in the basement of the medicinal materials warehouse, Xin Xin was concentrating on using moxibustion to activate the Star Marrow Detector when he suddenly exclaimed, "There are signs of life here!" Everyone rushed over to see the girl sleeping in the ice coffin. Her face bore a striking resemblance to Su Jingyan, with a half-severed Vermillion Bird feather stuck in her chest.

Huang Junze stroked the newly emerged "book" character on his wedding ring, looked at me affectionately, and said, "Madam, do you still remember what I said on our wedding day? Even if you use all your tricks, you can't make me fall in love with you!" I smiled and replied, "Hubby, of course I remember. I also remember saying, 'It doesn't matter, as long as I can marry you.'"

"Only now do I understand that the destiny of the Purple Star Emperor was meant for you." I know that what I just saw of our past life, Huang Junze also saw!

We smiled at each other, our hearts filled with happiness and peace.

The crabapple buds outside the window are about to bloom, and Jing Suo and Yining are practicing the "Heaven, Earth and Man Three Elements Acupuncture Method" with silver needles and medicine grinders in the medical room.

The verses left by Zen Master Wuming drifted away in the wind: "The Heavenly Doctor saves the world and the waves of calamity are over; twins are born from cause and effect and attain Nirvana."

Huang Junze and I hurried through the hospital corridor, our steps so rapid they made a slight rustle. The entire way, Huang Junze's brows were furrowed in a frown, his eyes filled with worry about Grandpa's condition. I squeezed his hand tightly, trying to convey warmth and strength to him.

When I opened the door, I saw Jing Suo and Yining, accompanied by their nanny and bodyguard Ji Feng Xun Lei, asking about the great-grandfather's well-being in the ward.

"Grandpa, please get better soon." Yining held Grandpa Huang's hand, her eyes slightly red, her voice choked with sobs, her small body trembling slightly. "You said you would teach me calligraphy, you can't go back on your word."

Jing Shuo also echoed from the side, his young face full of concern: "Yes, Great Grandpa, when you get better, I still want to hear you tell us those ancient stories. I've been looking forward to it for a long time."

Grandpa Huang was lying on the hospital bed, his face as pale as paper and his figure as haggard. However, when he heard these words, a trace of warmth still appeared in his eyes. He wanted to open his mouth to respond, but he could only utter a faint "OK". The sound was so light that it seemed that it could be blown away by a gust of wind.

Huang Junze walked quickly to the bedside, as if afraid of disturbing Grandpa, but also as if eager to convey strength. He gently but firmly grasped Grandpa's other hand, his voice trembling slightly: "Grandpa, you will definitely get better. We are all here with you, always."

I walked to the head of the bed, carefully observed Grandpa Huang's complexion, and quietly stretched out my hand, using spiritual power as a guide to sense the flow of vitality in his body.

Grandpa Huang's health worsened. He looked emaciated, and he could only lie weakly on his sickbed. Modern medical instruments and traditional Chinese medicine's diagnostic methods couldn't pinpoint the cause of his illness. He watched as his vitality, like the sands in an hourglass, slowly faded away.

Huang Junze was extremely anxious, his brows furrowed, his usual composure gone, he was filled with anxiety yet helpless.

As the inheritor of Yi medicine, I was extremely worried about Grandpa Huang's condition, and Huang Junze's painful appearance made me feel even more distressed. I knew that this was the person he loved the most. I secretly made up my mind that even if I exhausted my spiritual power, I would find a way to save Grandpa Huang.

I turned and walked to the bedside, holding Grandpa Huang's hand. It was icy cold, and my heart sank. I quietly channeled my spiritual energy, using my fingertips as a guide, reaching into his body to sense the flow of vital energy. Instantly, a strange and powerful resistance came over me, as if an invisible barrier had locked away my life force. This was no ordinary illness.

I frowned, stood up, and walked to the window, gazing at the darkening sky as I pondered. As a descendant of Yi medicine, ordinary ailments wouldn't faze me, but Grandpa Huang's illness was indescribably strange.

The old house was laid out according to Master Ping's instructions. Its feng shui was excellent, so there shouldn't be any problems. So, what could be the problem? I replayed it over in my mind, a whirlwind of Yixue terms, hexagrams, and numerology flashing through my mind. Suddenly, a rather obscure Yixue term—"reverse eclipse of the fate star chart"—struck my mind.

I eagerly pulled out Grandpa Huang's birth chart, which Huang Junze had given me with such eager anticipation, hoping to find a solution. I stared intently at the chart, my eyes unblinking, as if trying to decipher every symbol and line. Combining it with my current annual fortune, I rapidly calculated and analyzed it in my mind. The combinations of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, the movements of the stars, constantly intertwined and collided in my mind. As I pondered more deeply, beads of sweat formed on my forehead with concentration.

"I think I know what's going on." I raised my head, a confident glint in my eyes. I looked at the crowd and said in a steady, powerful voice, "Someone took advantage of an extremely rare astrological phenomenon and, at a specific time, set up a vicious scheme against Grandpa Huang's horoscope. You see, the main star at Grandpa Huang's birth should have been moving smoothly throughout the year, but now it's tightly surrounded by several retrograde malefic stars. This isn't a simple astrological shift; someone is proficient in astrology and deliberately channeled the power of malefic stars, causing Grandpa Huang's horoscope to fall into a state of reverse eclipse, constantly devouring his vitality."

Huang Junze's eyes flashed with surprise and anger. He clenched his hands unconsciously, his knuckles turning white from the force. "How could such a thing happen? How can we solve this?"

Xia Ruoxi and Xin Xin arrived just in time and came over, their faces full of worry and curiosity. Xia Ruoxi asked anxiously, "Master, can you really cure Grandpa Huang?" Xin Xin also nodded vigorously.

I nodded to Xia Ruoxi and reassured her, "Don't worry, Master will definitely find a way." Turning to look at Huang Junze, my eyes determined, "To break this situation, we need the power of the stars. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is at its purest at midnight, making it the best time to break through. Let's go to the empty ancient battlefield outside the city. There, the terrain is open and unaffected by the foul air of the mortal world, making it ideal for communicating with the stars."

Huang Junze nodded solemnly: "Okay, I will do my utmost to protect you and will not let any evil spirits disturb you."

At midnight, all was silent. Moonlight shone like water, casting a shadow over the ancient battlefield. Wild grass swayed all around, and the distant mountains, shadowed by the moonlight, added a touch of mystery. I stood in the center of the formation and quickly set up the Star Gathering Formation. I formed seals with my hands, muttering to myself:

The Purple Star hangs high in the sky, and the Big Dipper shines brightly.

The horoscope is reset, and evil and rebellion are eliminated.

Lend me your spiritual power to break this disaster.

The power of the stars cleanses the sorrow of life.

As the incantation emanated, my spiritual energy surged, and one talisman after another, like swift birds in flight, swirling with light, landed precisely at various points within the formation. As soon as the talismans touched the ground, they melted into the earth like roots, emanating circles of faint light.

Immediately, I mobilized all my spiritual energy and channeled it into the core of the magic circle. Instantly, the magic circle shone brightly, echoing the stars in the night sky. The previously silent night sky now twinkled even more intensely, as if answering my call. The star power was successfully channeled, transforming into pure rays of light that converged in Grandpa Huang's direction.

Huang Junze stood beside me, radiating the powerful light of the Purple Star Emperor. Like a towering mountain, he completely dispelled any evil spirits that might arise. His eyes were firm, and he was always vigilant, protecting me.

Under the constant influx of star power, the evil force that had been eroding Grandpa Huang's fate gradually dissipated. Sweat beads on my forehead trickled down my cheeks, but my gaze remained resolute. My hands continuously shifted seals, controlling the direction of the star power. Each ray of light carried my hope for Grandpa Huang's recovery.

Finally, as the last trace of evil energy was cleared, I felt that Grandpa Huang's fate had returned to normal. I slowly opened my eyes, took a deep breath, and my tense body relaxed.

Back at the hospital, Grandpa Huang's complexion had returned to normal, and his breathing was steady. Huang Junze excitedly hugged me and said, "Luo Shu, Grandpa's fine, Grandpa's fine." I smiled and replied, "Yes, Grandpa's fine, everything's fine."

Jing Shuo and Yining ran over cheering, each holding one of Grandpa Huang's hands.
