Yin Fu Daojun

Chapter 7 Spirit Qi
The west courtyard is only separated from the inner courtyard by a wall. A small door is opened on the wall to connect the two courtyards, and Xie Duan's room is just close to the outer wall, so the two siblings could hear a noise coming from outside the house gate from a distance. Next, he couldn't help getting up and going out of the house to check.

When the concierge heard that it was the county lieutenant, his anger was half dissipated at first, and then he was even more shocked when he heard that something happened to the lord.

He hastily pulled the latch and opened the door.

Then I saw a strong man with a beard, a knife on his waist, wearing a uniform, a very ferocious face, a muscular body, a hulking back, just standing there, can calm down most of the scene.

The burly man strode in and saw the Xie Ying siblings walking towards him at a glance. He hurriedly stepped forward to salute, with a worried expression on his face.

"Master Jiang, what happened?"

Xie Ying saw him and heard what Cai just said, so she hurriedly asked.

"Madam, you have to be mentally prepared, my lord..."

The county lieutenant hesitated to speak, hesitated for a moment, and let out a long sigh.

"It's all my fault that I'm useless and didn't protect my lord! When I was arresting the murderer last night, my lord was accidentally injured, and I'm currently being treated in the hospital."

As soon as these words came out, Xie Ying was shocked instantly.

"What? How did this happen? Take me there quickly."

Xie Ying was burning with anxiety at the moment, and was about to go out as she spoke.

Xie Duan, who was at the side, was also shocked when he heard the news. He had only been here for three days, and his brother-in-law suffered a disaster. How ironic!

I don't know, I thought he was a broom star!

Following her sister, Xie Duan reassured her not to worry, while being led by the county captain, she went out and headed towards the medical center.

The county lieutenant, also a military officer, is the county magistrate and the county magistrate Bo, who is in charge of public security and robbery matters, equivalent to the modern director of the Public Security Bureau.

Generally, there are two people in the upper county who are in charge together, and one person in the lower county.

The county lieutenant of this county, surnamed Jiang and named Wei, was dispatched by the imperial court for the purpose of internal and external control, because the county magistrate and the master are both local, in order to prevent the local tyrants from causing harm, and to check and balance each other.

He came here with Li Qing back then, and he was a close friend.

Lin's medical center, two yamen servants stood guard in front of the door, and some people who came to see the doctor to get medicine watched from a distance, although they were suspicious, they did not dare to approach.

"My lord, ma'am!"

When the two saw Jiang Wei and the others, they quickly clasped their fists in salute.

Jiang Wei ignored them, and just led Xie Ying and his brother into the hospital. When he looked around, there were several yamen servants in the room who were bandaging up.

Seems like he's had a tough fight, maybe even outnumbered by injuries.

In the ear room on the right, the doors and windows were all covered, and an apprentice from the medical hall stood outside the door. When he saw them coming, he first bowed his hands and saluted, and then he spoke.

"Master is administering needles for adults, please wait a moment!"

Hearing the word "shi needle", it can be seen that the situation is not optimistic.

Although Xie Ying was worried, she also knew that the doctor should not be disturbed while administering acupuncture, so she just waited quietly outside the door.

"Master Jiang, do you dare to ask what happened? My brother-in-law, as the magistrate of a county, can't even guarantee his personal safety?"

The doors and windows of the side room were closed, so they couldn't see the scene inside. They only knew that the doctor was saving people, and they could only wait until the results came out. While waiting, Xie Duan couldn't help asking questions.

Jiang Wei glanced at him and knew that he was the magistrate's brother-in-law.

"Alas! Speaking of this matter, we are also to blame for our brothers' lack of protection. Yesterday the lord took us out of the city to investigate the case, and happened to find the whereabouts of the criminal in Hulu Village. I went to follow up and ignored the safety of the lord. The criminal Turned around and scratched your lord, and then ran away."

He sighed helplessly and did not hide it.

"Oh? Could it be the case of missing children in the city?"

When Xie Duan said this, Jiang Wei looked at him with a little surprise, but he still nodded. After all, this incident has caused a lot of trouble in the city, so it is not surprising that he can guess it.

Xie Duan was about to ask again, but the door creaked open.

Seeing this, Xie Ying ran in first.

An old man with white beard and hair, his face was full of sweat, his brows were tightly frowned, he put away the golden needle that had just been applied, and took a sip of tea.

"Doctor Lin, how is my husband?"

She looked at the sick bed, Li Qing was lying on the bed, unconscious.

"Madam, don't worry, the old man has temporarily saved the life of the lord by using the technique of crossing the acupoint with a golden needle. As for the follow-up situation, it remains to be seen, but Madam, don't worry, the old man will definitely do his best."

Hearing this, Xie Ying suddenly became a little uneasy.

"Doctor Lin, you... what do you mean by that?"

She couldn't believe it, and just stared at him so closely.

"Hey! Your lord's injury is not serious, but your inner condition is very strange. I have practiced medicine for many years, but I have never encountered it before. I have to look up the medical books. If your lord wakes up, you can call me back."

While explaining, the old man shook his head and sighed, went outside the door, and instructed the apprentice by the door to take medicine to bandage the wound.

Xie Ying was stunned for a moment, and when she came to the couch, her eyes were already moist.

She didn't yell and tried her best to control her emotions, but called her husband softly, maybe because she was afraid of disturbing him.

Just being scratched, how could it be so serious?
Xie Duan felt a little unusual, and immediately stepped forward, thinking of a few words of comfort, while checking his brother-in-law who was lying on the bed.

At first glance, Li Qing's face was pale, except for some redness around the corners of his eyes, and three bloodstains were clearly visible on his left chest. The blood had stopped, but there were drops of unknown yellow liquid oozing out slightly.

Xie Duan leaned forward, and after a closer look, he felt that the wound did not seem to be cut with a sharp weapon, but rather scratched, and he was thinking in his heart.

However, at this moment, the two talisman coins in his mind suddenly trembled, accompanied by soft chirping, as if he had received some kind of induction.

"Ok?"

Xie Duan was puzzled, but then seemed to understand something.

"Ma'am, please step aside, the master asked me to bandage your lord."

The medical apprentice in front of the door, holding the prepared ointment and gauze, came to the sick bed and prepared to help Li Qing treat the wound.

Taking advantage of the situation, Xie Duan took the tub from him and put it beside the bed.

"let me help you!"

Seeing this, the apprentice couldn't say anything, so he nodded in agreement.

The water and handkerchiefs in the basin are all boiled to clean the wound and reduce the risk of infection. After all, the conditions in ancient times were limited, and we could not expect too much.

Taking advantage of the interval of wiping, Xie Duan's palm touched Li Qing's wound through the handkerchief. With a thought, he recited the mantra silently, and the yin and yang talisman exerted strength. In the body, with a general purpose, talisman money was injected.

To put it simply, his body is equivalent to a catheter.

In just a moment, the air-conditioning was completely absorbed, because there was not much left, and it was extremely weak. During the process of absorption, Xie Duan felt a little familiar with that feeling.

This is exactly the same as the scorching absorption feeling on him when he was in danger in the mountain temple and Fu Qian manifested his sage.

After he thought about it, he suddenly understood that he had inadvertently been contaminated with this kind of spiritual energy, and that Fu Qian had actually absorbed the spiritual energy on his body first, and then was completely aroused.

It's just that he walked along the way, except helping people bury corpses and contacting a lot of dead people, there was nothing else.

Could it be that when the corpse was buried, it was accidentally contaminated with the yin energy of the dead?
That headless zombie came to him because he was attracted by it?

Thinking about it carefully, there is indeed such a possibility, and this is the only explanation that makes sense.

From this point of view, it is not accidental that Yin Yang Fu Qian recognized him as the master.

After doing this, when Xie Duan looked again, he saw that the yellow liquid from Li Qing's previous wound no longer flowed out, and his complexion also improved.

It seemed that it was not the trauma that caused his serious condition, but the cold air that penetrated into his body.

Xie Duan had a feeling in his heart that the so-called criminal behind the scenes was probably not an ordinary person, maybe even not a person.

Because fuqian only responds to various "spiritual qi", and ordinary people have sayings such as essence, yang, and vitality, but these are just "qi", not "qi". Also different.

In terms of spirit qi, after these few days of research and deliberation, in Xie Duan's opinion, only those foreign objects that have become climates can have them, such as ghosts with yin qi, monsters with yin qi, or the headless qi that we encountered before. Zombies, with corpse energy, etc., can be classified as spirit energy.

Only these qi can be absorbed and refined by talisman money.

So according to this, the thing that hurt Li Qing is very likely to be a foreign thing that has become a climate, not man-made.
