555: Chapter 96: Benevolent Heart (Part 2)_2 555: Chapter 96: Benevolent Heart (Part 2)_2 Watching the woman’s departing figure, Xie Xuanyi suddenly spoke.
“Not bad…
you also understand medicine?”
Chu Guo and Old Zheng both turned their gaze towards Xie Xuanyi.
“I know a little.”
Xie Xuanyi stretched out two fingers and gently rubbed them, having read some about worldly medicine in the Daoist Collection on Lotus Peak.
Of the commonly used medicinal herbs in folk culture, he could only recognize a few.
As for the “Divine Treasures” that only cultivators could use, he recognized them all.
However, for Xie Xuanyi, who had cultivated to the Yin God Realm, diagnosing and feeling the pulse as spoken of in common terms, was not a challenge at all.
There was no need for him to even touch the patient.
His Divine Thought could instantly identify the “cause of illness” in the woman just now.
This poor woman, for some reason, had developed a small blood tumor in her brain.
The recent “bloody disaster” caused the blood tumor to tear open and no longer remained intact.
This is what Chu Guo called “fortune and disaster are interdependent.”
But he didn’t quite get it right.
This situation doesn’t really count as a blessing in disguise.
The fragmentation of the blood tumor seemed to have dissolved the clotted blood, but in reality, the fragments were still there…
The headache wouldn’t dissipate for a few years, and it would become even more severe.
Without a spiritual elixir, this woman wouldn’t live much longer.
“She is a person of misery, I heard she came to Taoyuan with her child in her arms, but the child couldn’t be saved, leaving only herself.”
Old Zheng sighed, reluctant to accept the thick cotton clothes, and spoke gently: “The people of bitter fate in this world, most of them are destined to have no fortune.
It’s hard to find a place to settle down, and then they encounter the disaster of a skull operation.
I’ve included some pain-relieving herbs in the ‘prescription’ Chu laid out, hoping she can avoid headaches in the coming years.”
“…I see.”
Xie Xuanyi sighed silently, finally understanding why this poor woman suffered from headaches.
Her own flesh and blood died in her embrace.
What parent in the world could bear such pain?
It turns out, the end of this poor woman had already been seen by both doctors.
But these days, what does a headache matter?
To live until the “headache” strikes, could also be considered dying a natural death.
“In this Taoyuan Village, there are currently one hundred and forty-three people, excluding the monks from ‘Yuan Guang Temple’, almost everyone is sick.”
Old Zheng raised his head slightly and whispered softly, “These days the invading troubles have exploded, and more and more refugees are arriving, Chu and I are too overwhelmed…
If Xie hero…”
“Just call me Xiao Xie.”
Xie Xuanyi consciously lowered his stance greatly, having not experienced such life in his previous journeys in Li Kingdom, and he was unaware how hard life was in Yuan Province.
“If Mr.
Xiao Xie is willing, please lend us a hand.”
Old Zheng smiled, warmly saying: “Here, the most respected are ‘Doctors’, besides congee and rice, we also have meat and eggs to eat.”
“What do you think, sister?”
Xie Xuanyi looked up at Deng Baiyi.
“Me?”
Deng Baiyi blinked.
She clearly understood the implication behind Xie Zhen’s words and slowly said: “It would be great to stay here…”
Xie Xuanyi smiled and said, “In that case, let’s stay here for a few days.”
Deng Baiyi hummed softly.
Actually, she didn’t quite understand why Xie Zhen made such a decision.
She knew that Xie Zhen had long cultivated to the level of “Fasting” and didn’t need to eat, merely absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to maintain his bodily state.
It definitely wasn’t for the food.
Then, was it to “save people”?
This was even more absurd.
Ever since Xie Zhen awakened in Yuzhu Town, Deng Baiyi had followed him through many hardships…
She was well aware.
This young man in black was undoubtedly a killer.
At Beihai Tomb, Xie Zhen alone killed all the Southern Border Evil Cultivators recruited by the Sea Surfing King!
Besides that.
During the Da Chu Dynasty’s Northern Hunt, in Great Yue Kingdom, Xie Zhen killed countless Demon Cultivators, numerous enemies!
A killer whose hands were stained with blood, suddenly changed his nature to practice medicine and save people?
Deng Baiyi really couldn’t understand.
However.
She truly felt the change in Xie Zhen’s aura…
When they first met in Yuzhu Town, Xie Zhen exuded a chilling killing intent, an aura that screamed “stay away” as if engaging him in conversation or uttering a few more words would result in a merciless death.
Later.
The two slowly got to know each other, and the chilliness in Xie Zhen’s aura gradually melted away.
Deng Baiyi gradually saw clearly.
Although Xie Zhen was a killer, he also possessed a “benevolent heart”; the massacre at Beihai Tomb was to save the lives of a hundred thousand people in Lichao City.
Killing to protect life.
Is this the act of a villain, or a virtuous person?
“Do you intend to cultivate the ‘Principle of Life’ here?”
Deng Baiyi silently transmitted a message.
She somewhat guessed the reason for Xie Zhen’s choice; during the delegation’s journey, Xie Zhen once anxiously asked how to cultivate the “Principle of Life” to great success, and True Master Jun Shan’s answer was “to save others.”
Now this Taoyuan, is indeed an excellent place for cultivation.
“You might not believe this if I tell you…”
Xie Xuanyi laughed at himself, transmitting the message: “This time, I truly had a kind thought, unrelated to the cultivation of the ‘Principle of Life’, I simply wanted to try if I could ‘save’ some more people.”
An accident, the Karma Principle, brought him here.
He saw this Taoyuan.
He also saw these people struggling amid the chaos of the world.
In his previous life practicing the Rule of Destruction, Xie Xuanyi had never seen such a world, nor had he the opportunity to “reach out and save.”
Draw the sword, slay people.
Vanquish demons, exorcise evil.
Xie Xuanyi traveled across the Four Realms, busy slaying foes.
In this life, he fell into the mud and saw the real face of the mundane worldly society.
Xie Xuanyi was very clear.
The cultivation of the Principle of Life would not be complete just by saving these people.
But so what?
Once a thought arises, let it be acted upon.
…
…
In the following days, under the shade of Taoyuan trees, there appeared two distinctive figures in wheelchairs.
Xie Xuanyi and Chu Guo’s teacher Zheng Fengsheng set up a table in the small village, taking pulses, prescribing medicine, treating illnesses.
Zheng Fengsheng indeed was a very capable Doctor; his pulse diagnoses were extremely accurate, his medicines cured ailments.
However…
Xie Xuanyi didn’t need to take pulses at all.
Physically touching was just for show.
His Divine Thought lightly swept out, and he could clearly see the other’s “illness”, and as for treatment, it was even simpler – no need for medicines, no need for treatment, only a very slight thread of the Principle of Life was required; worldly diseases and pains would be immediately suppressed.
A few days later, Zheng Fengsheng’s “business” dwindled, and Xie Xuanyi’s table was almost always full of people.
The news had spread throughout Taoyuan.
The new “Doctor Xiao Xie” had Immortal Master capabilities, practiced incredible skills, and at his clinic, just a light touch to take the pulse would let people feel a warm flow streaming through their bodies, any painful ailments would be immediately alleviated…
This news spread wide and far, and the visitors came in an endless stream.
Everyone left with joy.
Zheng Fengsheng saw this scene and could not help but feel delighted; he hadn’t expected Mr.
Xiao Xie to be so humble, what he called “a slight understanding” turned out to be knowledge to such a degree!
A Doctor’s benevolent heart, if Taoyuan truly had no patients, even if there was no use for his medical skills, he would be most happy.
But a few days later.
Zheng Fengsheng did not encounter the “completely leisurely” situation he had imagined, but instead became even busier.
The two small tables, the number of people queuing became almost the same.
It was simple.
All “patients” who had been treated by Xie Xuanyi had to go to Zheng Fengsheng for medicine and prescriptions.
It’s not that Xie Xuanyi didn’t want to use the “Principle of Life” to cure these people.
On one hand.
His “Principle of Life” couldn’t substitute for the Undying Spring, directly reviving the dead or fleshing out bones.
On the other hand.
These hapless people suffered from various diseases.
Even the Principle of Life could only alleviate pain; it was simply impossible to completely cure them.
