Famine and exile: I brought the Spirit Spring to save the entire Marquis's mansion.

At first, Lu Shishen didn't think too much about it, assuming it was just a normal soul loss.

The folk term "soul loss" refers to the temporary separation of the soul from the body.

"But after I examined the pulse, I found that the mistress seemed to have been struck or frightened out of her wits. Her pulse was very strange, something I had never seen before."

There are many skilled doctors who can treat not only yang diseases but also yin diseases.

Ghost veins, also known as yin veins, are used to determine whether a person is possessed by a spirit.

The divine pulse is grasped at the cun, guan, and chi positions, floating, then sinking, then touching the palm, then the first, second, and third joints of the middle finger.

If the radial pulse is blocked, it indicates an illness caused by pathogenic factors. In this case, touch the palm and middle finger.

If your palms are pounding, that means you're scared.

Jumping below the point where the index and middle fingers meet indicates being startled at an intersection.

A twitch below the junction of the ring and little fingers indicates being frightened by a furry animal.

If your palm doesn't twitch, check your middle finger.

If the sides of the base of the middle finger twitch violently, it means you've offended a ghost.

The inner side is caused by family members, while the outer side is caused by external ghosts.

Those near the bottom of the palm are mostly young ghosts under twenty years old, those in the middle are between twenty and forty, and those at the top are over forty.

A strong twitching in the middle joint of the middle finger indicates possession by a deity of the Five Immortals type.

If the upper joint of the middle finger twitches violently, it means it's being controlled by a highly skilled alien being, that is, possessed by a deity.

"The mistress's middle finger did not twitch, indicating that it was not a collision. There was a slight twitch in her palm, which I thought was due to fright that caused her soul to leave her body. However, after inquiring with the First Madam, I found that it was not the case."

The mistress slept soundly, her complexion was normal, her pulse was normal, and she showed no signs of losing her soul.

Du Xin said it was the delayed effect of the warning spell, and things would gradually get better.

Lu Shishen is simple-minded, but he's not stupid.

He knew that the mistress was no ordinary person; she possessed the Yaochi water, which was rumored to be possessed only by the gods of Dongshan. As for the Heart-Crossing Technique… he couldn’t trust it.

So they inquired about the address of Master Liu of the Xuanmen sect and learned that the mistress's symptoms were very similar to the Soul-Binding Curse.

That was originally used by the Xuanmen (Taoist sects) to restrain invading souls and save people.

However, no one knew what method Du Xin used to manage to bind the mistress's soul.

“Dongshan, Xuanmen…” Huo Chang’an pondered and repeated.

He had heard of it.

It used to be a very large sect, but it may have violated some taboo of those in power, and it was spread as a heretical sect, and was gradually replaced by Buddhism.

However, he remembered that he was weak when he was a child, and seeking medical treatment for several years was of no use.

Later, a wandering Taoist priest surnamed Song claimed to be a descendant of the Dongshan Xuanmen sect. He said that Song's three souls and six spirits were incomplete, his heavenly soul was weak, and his physical strength was insufficient. In short, he talked a lot of mystical nonsense.

My family didn't believe in it at first, but we had no choice but to give it a try. We performed a ritual and drank some talisman water.

Master Song said that it wasn't his original, incomplete soul, but a substitute made by a medium, so that he could live as a normal person.

Later, his health really did improve.

When her parents tried to find Master Liu again, they couldn't find him anywhere.

Therefore, Huo Chang'an believed in the descendants of the Dongshan Xuanmen.

Most importantly, Lu Shishen just mentioned something else.

The Soul-Binding Curse is used to bind and restrain invading souls!

Only he knew that Ning'er was not the original Sang Ning'er...

"My lord, you must trust Shi Shen. He is very powerful. People in our village who have lost their souls all go to him. No matter where they have lost their souls, he can find them!"

He once called back a man whose soul had fallen into a tiger's den!

Fool, this isn't about losing your soul, it's about binding your soul!

Go ahead and call them back if you dare!

Yan Meng rolled his eyes dramatically.

But in the darkness, Feng Dali couldn't see anything.

Lu Shishen patted Feng Dali, telling him to be quiet.

He still cares about saving face, but isn't he the one who will fall into the tiger's den?

Unexpectedly, Huo Chang'an solemnly affirmed: "Your medical skills are indeed very good."

Lu Shishen, thank you.

If it weren't for Lu Shishen, everyone would still be kept in the dark.

His Ning'er, unable to speak, had to face the evil monk alone for a long time.

Thinking of the nerve tearing, the burning pain in her flesh, and Ning'er's miserable appearance when Yan Meng and the others arrived.

Huo Chang'an clutched his aching chest in despair.

She has suffered countless torments at the hands of the evil monk!

"Lu Shishen, I was petty and spoke coldly to you before. I apologize."

From now on, there's no need for formalities between us; we're brothers.

Lu Shishen was still stunned by his earlier thanks when he was suddenly asked to apologize again, which really surprised him.

"No... It was what I should do. My lord and mistress saved our Lu Family Village from the fire, and I am deeply grateful. I have no way to repay them..."

Huo Chang'an nodded.

In short, Lu Shishen and Feng Dali are grateful and sincere, and he has already considered them as his confidants.

Yan Meng smiled calmly.

There's no need to mention Lu Shishen's thoughts; His Majesty must have known them long ago.

Moreover, given Lu Shishen's character, he certainly wouldn't do anything outrageous.

A good girl like that has plenty of admirers everywhere!

"Shi Shen," Huo Chang'an said again, "Now that my two elder brothers have been found, I will need you to treat them tomorrow."

"My lord, I will do my utmost!"

Huo Chang'an knew that many of Lu Shishen's medicines were made with spiritual spring water and flowers from his spatial storage. He figured that if Lu Shishen could cure his third brother, he could definitely cure his eldest and second brothers as well.

Now that the space is gone and the spiritual spring water is nowhere to be found, we can only rely on Lu Shishen's medicine.

That's all I had to say.

In the still, ink-wash-like night, the chilling sound of grinding teeth and chiseling teeth, each word distinct and deliberate, revealed the owner's deep-seated hatred.

"Tomorrow, kill the Buddha!"

Outside the tent, someone arrived silently.

"My lord, I just saw the young master and young master Shao enter the Crossing Heart Camp tent."

Huo Chang'an was startled, "How is it?"

This was the person he had arranged to monitor Du Xin, but to avoid alerting the enemy, he dared not get too close.

Why did Jintang go there?

"When I stepped forward to check, I saw that the two young masters had already come out and returned to their own tents."

"Nothing unusual?"

"Young Master, I can't tell, Young Master Shao... isn't as talkative as before."

"Go and see!"

Huo Chang'an immediately left the camp.

Lu Shishen quickly put on his clothes and followed.

Jintang and Shao Songchen slept in the same tent, right next to the main camp, surrounded by various generals, so it was very safe.

There were still soldiers standing guard outside.

The two little ones each had their own small wooden bed and looked to be sleeping soundly.

Lu Shishen took the pulse and said, "The pulse is abnormal, and it seems to be some kind of curse."

"Damn Du Xin!" Huo Chang'an cursed.

"Jintang must have discovered something."

"Fortunately, he only cast a curse and didn't kill anyone." Yan Meng sneered, his eyes turning icy.

"Master Liu said that no matter what kind of curse it is, the curse will be broken when the person who cast it dies!"

Du Xin offended someone she shouldn't have.

Tomorrow is his death day!
