Extreme Taoist Medicine

Chapter 170 Depletion
"What!? Are you sure?" Lu Chen couldn't help exclaiming when he heard this.But then he realized that his question was too redundant, because Xia Chunmiao would not lie to him, and Xia Chunmiao, as a ghost, would not be wrong about the question of the soul.

Lu Chen calmed down, and asked instead: "Can you see what caused it?"

Xia Chunmiao shook her head and said, "I can see that. But her soul was seriously damaged, like, uh, like a piece of cake, more than half of which was eaten by someone. The reason for her exhaustion of yang qi, if she doesn't think of a way to treat it, I'm afraid it won't last for a few days, and her physical body will become an empty shell."

"Understood, you go back first, and I'll think about it." Lu Chen nodded and let Xia Chunmiao return to the talisman paper.Then he couldn't help but looked at the woman again and fell into deep thought.

No matter how weak the body and spirit are of ordinary people, the three souls and seven souls are all complete, at most it is just the difference in energy strength, but this woman is completely different.Her soul was directly damaged, and the condition was serious, which was definitely not caused by external force.

In other words, the reason for this woman's situation that goes against medical common sense is probably the power of the ascetics.

Lu Chen couldn't help but recall the nightmare the woman described to him just now.According to the woman, she felt uncomfortable after having the nightmare that the little ghost wanted to eat her. If it was not just a nightmare, but a real event, then the little ghost caused her soul to be tortured. Lost, the murderer of the loss of Yang Qi.

Although aware of this, Lu Chen is not sure, and there are too few clues, so it is very difficult to investigate clearly.

She sat in front of the woman's bed for a while, walked out of the ward, and reminded the nurse that if the woman wakes up, she should tell herself immediately, and at the same time, ask the nurse to notify the woman's family members to come and go through the relevant procedures, so that he can also get to know the situation with the family members .

After that, Lu Chen returned to the office, picked up the coffee cup to drink, but found that the coffee was cold, so he had to put it down.

Xiao Nan cleverly pushed a snack and fruit in front of him for him to eat. Lu Chen nodded to her absent-mindedly, and didn't pay much attention to her. While eating, he continued to think about the woman's question.

About an hour later, the nurse at the nurse's station called and said that the woman's family had arrived and had gone through the formalities, and asked Lu Chen if he wanted to see the family.

Lu Chen asked the nurse to bring the women's family members over, and then asked Xiao Nan to pack up all the food.

After a while, the woman's family members came. It was the woman's husband, a somewhat slow middle-aged man.

Lu Chen calmly asked the other party some questions about his wife's performance these days, but did not get any useful information. Although the man cared about his wife, he couldn't figure out what was wrong with her, and thought that It's just that I can't keep up with my spirit when I'm old.

Naturally, Lu Chen would not rashly say anything to irritate the other party. He comforted him with a few words, told him that his wife had to stay in the hospital for observation, and asked him to go through the hospitalization procedures and prepare things for accompanying her.

The man's expression turned bitter when he heard the words, and he said to Lu Chen: "Doctor, if she is not seriously ill, can I take her home to take care of her? Wouldn't it be the same if you prescribed some medicine for her and let her go home and lie down? "

Lu Chen frowned and said, "How can this be the same? Her condition is still unclear. She is in the hospital, and there are medical staff to take care of her at any time. If there is a problem at home, if she wants to find a doctor, it may not be possible in time."

"But, the hospital is too expensive, our..." The middle-aged man faltered, unable to speak for the rest of the sentence, but Lu Chen understood his concerns, obviously because of one problem, money.

Lu Chen thought for a while and said to the middle-aged man: "That's good. Let her spend one night in the hospital and leave tomorrow if nothing happens. She doesn't need any medicine. She just stays for one night and it doesn't cost much." , and, health is more important than money, what do you think?”

"Then, that's fine. But I have to work the night shift at night, look at this..." The middle-aged man was very embarrassed again.

Lu Chen didn't know whether to feel sad or angry, and said: "Since you only stay for one night, then you don't have to accompany me. I will stay on duty at night and help you take care of me. Is this okay for the head office?"

"Thank you, doctor. I'll leave it to you!" Hearing this, the middle-aged man took a deep breath and thanked Lu Chen repeatedly. Lu Chen waved his hand, indicating that he could go see his wife.

"This person is real. His wife is sick, and he is reluctant to spend money, and he is not even willing to ask for leave to take care of her?" Xiao Nan muttered.

Lu Chen said calmly: "Can't you see that their situation is very difficult? Maybe a few hundred dollars of medical expenses and one night's wages is a huge amount of money for them."

Xiao Nan stuck out her tongue, embarrassed to say anything.

"I'm on duty at night, so you can stay here, otherwise I have other patients and will be too busy if something happens." Lu Chen continued.

"Oh! Will you reimburse me for the dinner then?" Xiao Nan blinked and asked.

"Eat in the cafeteria by yourself! How many dollars for food are you still thinking about getting money from me?"

"Hee hee, if you don't report it, why don't you report it? What are you yelling at, cheapskate!" Xiao Nan said with a playful smile.

Lu Chen stared at her helplessly, stopped arguing with her, closed his eyes, and fell into deep thought again.

In fact, Lu Chen didn't want to agree to let the woman spend only one day in the hospital, because according to Xia Chunmiao, the woman's soul would not last three days if she could not be rescued.But he also knew how painful it was for the poor to see a doctor, so when he couldn't tell the truth to the man, he didn't want to embarrass him.

But in doing so, this evening was extraordinarily important to the woman.Lu Chen knew that if he wanted to save her, he had to think of a way tonight, otherwise, if the woman returned home, she would be waiting to die.

However, is there any way to repair her damaged soul and lost yang energy?

It would be great if Old Man Mo was still around. In this case, if I could ask Old Man Mo, Old Man Mo should be able to give me some advice, but it's a pity that I don't even know whether he is dead or alive now.

Thinking of old man Mo, Lu Chen couldn't help worrying about him, but he also knew that it was useless to think too much, so he shook his head and focused on recalling the contents of the Maoshan Sutra, trying to find some solutions from there.

Lu Chen had already memorized the entire content of Maoshan Shujing, and he went through it in his mind, focusing on the Taoism described in it, and suddenly, his mind moved, and he discovered something.

"Yes!" Lu Chen's eyes lit up, and he patted the table, which startled Xiao Nan.
