Chapter 563 Performing the Ritual

"Xiao Jing, come in."

Wan Yunting called Xiao Jing, who was waiting outside, along with his parents, and gestured to the chair in front of him, laughing, "Sit, uncle, aunt, please sit down too."

"Good, good, good..."

Xiao Jing's parents were honest rural people. They had brought Xiao Jing to Huadu City to see Gu Yuanbai for treatment. However, they were invited to the Chinese Medicine University to be patients for Wan Yunting's medical duel.

"Doctor, can you really cure my son's illness?"

Xiao Jing's father, surnamed Zhang, named Zhang Tiezhuang. Yesterday, he heard Xiao Jing say that Wan Yunting could cure his palmoplantar keratosis. Therefore, the couple brought Xiao Jing over before dawn.

Wan Yunting smiled and said, "Uncle, I dare not say I can cure Xiao Jing's illness with one hundred percent certainty, but at least I can control this illness and restore more than ninety percent of his normal hands and feet!"

Hearing this, Zhang Tiezhuang and his wife were excited, and then asked with concern, "Then doctor, is the medical fee expensive?"

Wan Yunting waved his hand with a smile and said, "Don't worry, this is Chinese medicine treatment. You won't have to be hospitalized for treatment. I just need to prepare a medicinal ointment, and you can take it back for Xiao Jing to apply."

"As for the price of the ointment, although there are several precious medicinal ingredients, a week's course of treatment will cost about one thousand yuan. If the effect is good, it will only take at most two weeks to restore Xiao Jing's hands and feet."

"That's great..."

This made Zhang Tiezhuang and his wife very excited. According to this, it would only cost over two thousand yuan to cure Xiao Jing's palmoplantar keratosis.

Zhang Tiezhuang and his wife even found it hard to believe, after all, they had taken Xiao Jing to countless doctors, seen countless Chinese medicine doctors, and used various medicines, spending a lot of money, but still couldn't cure Xiao Jing's palmoplantar keratosis.

Wan Yunting was about to write the prescription for the ointment, and said, "I will not charge you for the first week's medication for now. Let's see how Xiao Jing's condition is after a week of medication. If the effect is significant, we will charge then, how about it?"

"Good, good, good, thank you, doctor."

Seeing this, Zhang Tiezhuang and his wife were even happier. Xiao Jing also looked at Wan Yunting gratefully and nodded, "Thank you."

Wan Yunting finished writing the prescription, put down his brush, and stood up with a smile, "Alright, let's go downstairs to the pharmacy together."

"Okay..."

Saying that, Xiao Jing's family followed Wan Yunting downstairs to the pharmacy. Seeing pharmacist He Liren dispensing medicine for a patient, Wan Yunting handed him the prescription: "Master He, please take a look at this prescription. It needs to be ground into powder and made into an ointment, enough for about a week."

He Liren took the prescription and saw more than a dozen medicinal ingredients. He nodded with a wry smile, "Xiao Wan, you've given me overtime again."

Wan Yunting smiled and said, "Thank you, Master He."

"You can pick up the medicine at three o'clock this afternoon," He Liren said, as the workload was too heavy.

Wan Yunting nodded and smiled at Xiao Jing and his family, "Then we'll go out first."

After leaving the pharmacy, Wan Yunting said to Xiao Jing and his parents, "This ointment only needs to be applied once in the morning and once at night. Do not touch water during this period. You can only touch water after the ointment is absorbed, understood?"

"I understand," Xiao Jing nodded.

Wan Yunting smiled and said, "Okay, then you can come back to pick up the medicine at three o'clock this afternoon."

"Okay, thank you, doctor, thank you so much..." Zhang Tiezhuang and his wife thanked him repeatedly.

Wan Yunting waved his hand with a smile; "You can go back first."

Xiao Jing and his family nodded, bowed and thanked him profusely before turning to leave.

Wan Yunting smiled and continued to return to his consultation room to see other patients...

He was busy until noon. Since he had to take Zhou Dong and others to see Grandpa Chang at Huadu University and also handle Ye Manni's admission procedures, Wan Yunting had to ask Director Li to see patients in his place.

However, Wan Yunting did not leave. Instead, he went to the emergency department of the adjacent hospital and went directly to the intensive care unit. He happened to meet Jiang Tongxin, who was passing by, and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Oh, I'm here to see Tian Guofu," Wan Yunting smiled.

Jiang Tongxin said, "He has been transferred to the advanced ward next door."

Wan Yunting was stunned and asked, "Has his condition improved?"

Jiang Tongxin nodded, and then asked with confusion, "Is he really possessed, suffering from a strange illness?"

Seeing her suddenly ask this, Wan Yunting nodded with a smile and said, "You can ask your grandfather more about this. I'll go and see Tian Guofu first."

After saying that, he left, causing Jiang Tongxin to raise an eyebrow. Yesterday, she didn't believe it, but since Wan Yunting treated Tian Guofu with acupuncture, Tian Guofu's burns had improved by more than half overnight, so he was transferred to the advanced ward next door.

Such a miraculous and strange case made Jiang Tongxin and all the doctors in the emergency department feel incredible.

At this time, in the main building of the hospital, outside an advanced ward, a group of doctors and nurses who were watching the commotion were pointing at the situation inside the ward and discussing it.

Wan Yunting raised an eyebrow and heard the sound of monks striking wooden fish from inside the ward. When he squeezed through the nurses and doctors at the door, he saw a group of people gathered in the living room of the ward.

He could see the brothers Tian Yanghui and Tian Gaohan, as well as several bald monks sitting on the futons on the floor, holding small wooden fish and chanting the Six-Syllable Mantra in Sanskrit...

In front of Tian Guofu's sickbed, there was a dharma altar with a Buddha statue and a bronze mirror placed in front of it. A middle-aged monk in kasaya was holding a wooden fish and striking it, while circling around Tian Guofu, who was leaning on the sickbed, chanting scriptures. The sound of the wooden fish and scriptures echoed in the ward, making those nearby feel agitated but dare not say anything.

Especially the doctors and nurses blocking the door. They were discussing, but Lin Huiping had paid money, so Dean He Tianxiang allowed them to do this in the hospital ward.

Looking at the middle-aged monk who finally took the bronze mirror and swung it back and forth over the forehead of Tian Guofu, who was leaning on the sickbed, muttering incantations, Wan Yunting found it amusing. He didn't know where these monks were invited from to perform exorcism rituals...

"Excuse me..."

Wan Yunting squeezed past the doctors and nurses at the door who were watching the excitement and walked into the living room of the ward. Tian Yanghui, Tian Gaohan, and Lin Huiping, who were by the side, rushed to greet him: "Mr. Wan, you're here..."

"En."

Wan Yunting nodded and pointed at the monk who was still performing the ritual, "When will they finish?"

Lin Huiping said, "They just started not long ago and will take a while longer. This is Master Kongming from Lianhua Temple on Lianhua Mountain in our Huadu, whom I invited to perform exorcism rituals for my old man."

Wan Yunting smiled and nodded. Although he felt it was unnecessary, he didn't say anything. After Master Kongming finished the ritual, Lin Huiping chatted with him for a while, and then asked Tian Yanghui and Tian Gaohan to escort Master Kongming and his entourage away.

Only then did Wan Yunting finally go over and look at Tian Guofu, who was leaning on the sickbed. He was still bandaged, but the bandages on his face had been removed, revealing scars that looked like burns but had already healed a lot.

"Mr. Tian, how are you feeling now?" Wan Yunting asked.

Tian Guofu nodded excitedly and said, "Mr. Wan, I am much better. Thank you so much."

"You're welcome," Wan Yunting waved his hand with a smile and said, "Your evil spirit was already expelled by me yesterday, so there was no need to invite a master here to waste money."

Tian Guofu nodded and said, "It's good to invite a master to do it, so I can feel more at ease."

Wan Yunting narrowed his eyes and looked at him, asking, "Mr. Tian, I'm very curious, how did you encounter those things?"

Tian Guofu's expression faltered, and he became a little unnatural. He shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Maybe I was unlucky to have encountered those unclean things to harm me."

Wan Yunting nodded, but observing Tian Guofu's expression, he was clearly lying!
