The Great Doctor Girl

After Huang Junze left, my energy level has been gradually decreasing. This has become especially noticeable recently; whenever Huang Junze is around, I feel full of energy.

At this moment, the Yiyi Hall fell into a dead silence.

I slumped in my chair, every inch of my body screaming with fatigue.

Last night's thrilling, perilous battle nearly devoured all my internal energy. I felt drained of my very essence, utterly weakened. I knew I had to quickly set up the "Life-Nourishing Eight Diagrams Formation," or I'd have a hard time recovering.

I struggled to get up. The surroundings were eerily quiet, the only sound being the breeze rustling through the bamboo leaves outside the window. This silence was particularly clear. I dragged my heavy steps slowly to the center of the room and closed the door. I exhaled deeply, trying to calm myself.

"The Life-Nourishing Bagua Formation uses the power of the Bagua to draw spiritual energy from heaven and earth, integrate it into one's own Qi sea, restore lost internal strength, and recuperate a damaged body." I silently recalled in my heart every word of instruction from my master when he taught me the formation.

From the small box in the corner of the lounge, I carefully removed my magical instruments—copper coins, talismans, obsidian, and a small mahogany sword. These items might seem ordinary to others, but to me, they are indispensable treasures for setting up my formation, and they are also crucial vehicles for drawing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

I held my breath and concentrated, precisely placing eight copper coins across the eight directions of the medical hall: Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui. Each coin had to be placed precisely in its specific location to resonate with the energy of heaven and earth. The slightest deviation could render the formation ineffective.

I silently chanted the spell:

"The universe is in place, the eight trigrams shine,

The life-sustaining formation protects me.

Li fire is hot, Kan water is moist,

Thunder roars and the wind blows gently.

Gen Mountain is stable, Kun Earth is virtuous.

The Dui Lake is wide and the Qian Sky is high.

The eight trigrams are circulating, endlessly.

Nourish my energy and prolong my life.

Hurry and obey the command, the Eight Trigrams Life-Nourishing Formation is complete!"

As I chanted the spell, I could clearly feel an indescribable subtle aura slowly flowing in the air.

Next, I spread a yellow silk cloth with a Bagua pattern on the ground in the middle and solemnly placed the mysterious obsidian in the center as the centerpiece of the formation. Obsidian has the uncanny ability to absorb negative energy from the outside world. It not only helps me purify the negative energy within me, but also stabilizes the core of the formation, ensuring its long-term and stable operation.

Then, I lit three agarwood sticks and gently placed them in the copper censer on the altar. The rising plumes of smoke felt like a mysterious bridge connecting us to the heavens. The delicate aroma permeated the room, bringing a tranquilizing power.

Finally, I took out the small peach wood sword, gripped it tightly, and gently brushed my fingers along the hilt before quickly placing it upright next to the obsidian. The peach wood sword has been known since ancient times for its magical power to ward off evil and ensure safety. It was my last line of defense within this formation, ensuring that no external evil could interfere with its operation.

"Eight Celestial Spirits, borrow the energy of heaven and earth to nourish my vital essence and strengthen my righteousness." I whispered the formation incantation, the sound echoing in the air. As the incantation deepened, the Bagua formation gradually began to take effect. The eight copper coins trembled slightly, and the surrounding air seemed to begin to generate imperceptible fluctuations. The entire medical hall was filled with a warm and gentle airflow.

This warm current slowly gathered from all directions, just like the warm power that Huang Junze passed on to me when he hugged me yesterday, flowing into my body in strands.

I sat cross-legged in the center of the formation, eyes closed, and absorbed in feeling the pure spiritual energy gradually absorbing into my body. My internal energy was recovering at an extremely slow rate, but this slow and steady nourishment was the key to my survival.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye. I slowly put away all my magical instruments. Although I was still a little weak, I felt much better than before.

The door of the clinic was gently opened, waiting for patients to come.

"Girl Luo Shu, how are you now?" A familiar voice came, with deep concern, like a warm current flowing into my heart.

I looked up and saw Grandpa Huang walking in quickly. His steps were steady and powerful, but he was also anxious and his eyes were full of worry.

He actually knew that my medical skills and Taoism were profound, and that there were few crises that could truly threaten me, but the look in his eyes when he looked at me at this moment revealed an unprecedented tension.

"Grandpa Huang, I'm fine. I just used too much internal energy last night. I just need to rest for a few days." I forced a bright smile, trying to reassure him, but my still pale face betrayed me.

Grandpa Huang looked at me, his brow furrowing even more. He approached me, his tone filled with undeniable reproach: "Why don't you take better care of yourself? Are you willing to risk your life to save someone?"

I thought to myself, "It seems Huang Junze told Grandpa Huang what happened last night."

Although his tone was stern, his genuine concern was evident. I lowered my head slightly, feeling a mixture of gratitude and resignation.

"Saving people is my duty." I said softly, with a hint of fatigue in my voice that was hard to conceal.

Grandpa Huang sighed, his tone a little softer, "Girl, I know what you mean, but you have to stay alive first."

"Grandpa Huang, if you really care about me, let your good grandson marry me as soon as possible." It seemed like these words did not come from my mouth.

I am a girl, and I have no nerve to say such shameless words. But at this moment when I am on the verge of life and death, I can no longer care about anything else in order to survive.

"I don't know what this bastard is thinking. I think since you are new here, you may not understand each other well enough. I am afraid that this will cause misunderstandings between both of you in the future." Grandpa Huang said earnestly.

At that moment, Huang Junze slowly walked in from behind. As soon as he stepped through the door, he heard Grandpa Huang's scolding. He lowered his head slightly and walked aside, his expression a little complicated, as if something was stuck in his throat.

"Jun Ze, did you just watch Luo Shu fight so hard? She risked her life to save others. Why didn't you stop her at that time?" Grandpa Huang looked at his grandson with a hint of blame in his tone.

Huang Junze was silent for a moment. He originally scoffed at the power of these metaphysical and numerological theories, and was even full of doubt and disdain for what I did.

But the thrilling events of last night began to shake his previously firm worldview. He knew that I was not risking my life for myself, but to save those innocent lives.

"Grandpa, I..." Huang Junze opened his mouth, a hint of guilt on his face, and his voice was a little low, "I know she is helping others..."

Grandpa Huang's brows relaxed slightly, his eyes still sharp: "Junze, after spending these days together, I think Luo Shu is a good girl. You are not young anymore, you should consider getting married as soon as possible."

Huang Junze raised his head, the firmness between his brows unable to conceal his inner turmoil. He felt the close connection between me and the mysterious power from last night. He had never felt such a real and inexplicable power before.

But obviously, he is still struggling in his heart.

"Luo Shu exhausted his inner strength to save people, but it was also for your safety." Grandpa Huang's voice softened, his eyes filled with hope and love for his grandson. "Do you think these metaphysical horoscopes are just legends? Junze, some things can't be determined by your belief or not."

I was quite surprised by Grandpa Huang's 180-degree change in attitude.

Huang Junze clenched his fists tightly, his inner conflict intensifying. But at this moment, he could no longer ignore what was happening before his eyes, and he could no longer deny the profound influence I had on his fate.

"Grandpa, I will consider it. Since the choice is unavoidable, I have to be responsible for the choice I made." Huang Junze replied very calmly, but his eyes revealed endless confusion and entanglement.

People do change with time and circumstances.

"I used to think fate was ridiculous," Huang Junze whispered, a hint of bitterness in his tone, "but now... I don't know."

Grandpa Huang nodded, walked slowly to my side, and whispered, "Girl, have a good rest. You don't have to worry too much about you two. He still depends on you for luck anyway! He can't run away, he just needs time."

I smiled slightly, feeling somewhat comforted. Although Huang Junze refused to admit it, I could sense that a change had taken place in his heart.

"Grandpa Huang, I understand." I replied softly.

Outside the medical clinic, the sun shines on the earth and the breeze blows through the treetops, bringing a sense of tranquility and warmth.

Before we finished our conversation, the patient from last time came to visit.

When I looked at the calendar, four days had passed in a flash.

The patient with brain astrocytoma is Li Xingkang, a 32-year-old male.

This time, he was accompanied by his girlfriend, who looked young and beautiful, and exuded charming charm in every gesture.

"Doctor Luo." Li Xingkang's voice was still weak.

"Hello Mr. Li, have you taken your medicine on time? Are there any changes now?" I asked softly, my eyes full of concern.

"After taking the medicine, I felt the swelling and coldness in my right hand eased, but I'm still weak." Li Xingkang answered truthfully with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"Okay, let's see how to adjust it today." As I said that, I cast a hexagram based on the time and got the Mountain Wind Gu hexagram.

Mountain Wind Gu Gua

A brother Yin wood (use)

-﹣Parent-child water

﹣Wife wealth and soil

-﹣Guangui Youjin (body)

﹣Parents Hai Water

-﹣Wife, wealth, ugly soil

The image of a man with two wives in the hexagram suggests that this disease is related to excessive sexual relations between men and women. He then instructed his wife to refrain from sexual intercourse during the treatment period.

Remove Curcuma and Saposhnikovia from the above prescription, and reduce the amount of Poria. Because the tongue is still pale and fat, continue to take the above prescription for 7 doses, using the same method as before.

I specifically instructed him: "You must do as I say. Be sure to take the medicine on time. Also, you are strictly prohibited from having sex during the treatment."

After hearing this, it felt like they both felt awkward for 10 seconds.

I'm an unmarried girl and have never even held hands with a man, but I'm not embarrassed at all.

At this time, his girlfriend said: "Doctor Luo, can I talk to you alone?"

Then she asked Li Xingkang to wait for her outside.
