Martial Arts: The First Genius Doctor in Jianghu

Chapter 100 Prequel: Taoyuan ([-])
The woman dressed as a maid neither answered nor took action, she just stood aside quietly like a real maid.

Xie Chen sighed: "There are always countless bizarre things in this world..."

The woman then smiled and said, "You're not too stupid after all."

Xie Chen said: "Yes, I should really think about it, not to mention that I am just an insignificant role, but among those masters of martial arts, how many of them dare to blatantly break into the main arena of the Five Poison Sect? Can they? The only way to get in is to let them lead you in willingly."

He paused and praised: "This is really a smart move by the host."

The woman didn't comment, she just blocked the door and didn't move away.

Xie Chen said slowly: "But I am an ignorant and stupid person after all. Even now, there are still some problems that I can't figure out."

The woman said: "There are thousands of questions that you can't understand in this world. Since you consider yourself an ignorant and stupid person, don't ask them."

Xie Chen said: "But if I didn't ask and died under the Yin Chi Gu without knowing why, wouldn't all the planning of the poster be in vain?"

The woman's expression changed, but she quickly returned to her calm voice: "It turns out that I was wrong. Sometimes, people have problems because they are stupid, but sometimes, the person asking the question is actually a smart person."

Xie Chen smiled and said in a tone that sounded like a compliment: "It makes people feel proud to be praised for being smart by someone like the original poster."

The woman was indifferent to the compliment and said, "In that case, just ask."

Xie Chen said: "Then I'll start with the stupidest question, where did the host's Yin Chi Gu come from."

The woman said: "I am not a member of the Five Poison Sect, and I don't know where the main altar of the Five Poison Sect is. The main altar of Taoyuan is located at the foot of Mount Emei. Where do you think I learned this poison?"

Xie Chen sincerely praised: "I always boast of my talent and intelligence, but today I just realized that there is someone outside the world."

The woman said: "Don't talk nonsense. I hope your next question won't be so stupid."

Xie Chen said: "The poster doesn't even care about the Yin Chi Gu, which is known as the king of poisons. So what poison is there that I must go to the Five Poison Sect to cure?"

The woman was silent for a moment: "You claim to be a doctor, so you should know that poison and medicine are one."

Xie Chen nodded slightly.

The woman said: "But I don't know medicine, I only know poison."

Xie Chen frowned slightly.

The woman ignored him and continued to talk to herself: "I can only kill people, but I can't save them. Just like your Yin Chi Gu, I can indeed use it, but I can't remove it."

Xie Chen asked: "What kind of poison is in the patient?"

The woman said: "The patient is not poisoned."

Xie Chen said: "Isn't it poison?"

The woman said, "He's just going to die."

Xie Chen said: "How to die?"

The woman said: "When he was young, he was kidnapped by his enemies and tortured. His eyes were gouged out, his legs were cut off, and all the muscles in his body were broken. He has been living like this for 20 years. Do you think he can still survive?"

Xie Chen was silent for a long time and said: "In this case, there is no medicine that can save him. Although I claim to have medical skills, I am only a mortal. Not to mention... Even if he is saved, it may not be torture."

The woman said: "Of course I knew you would say that, so that's why I let you come here."

Xie Chen became increasingly silent.

But the woman stepped aside and said, "Thank you, Mr. Master, please come with me."

With that said, he pushed open the door of the small courtyard.

Xie Chen didn't say much and just followed her inside.

As soon as the two stepped into the yard, they heard the sound of wheels.

"Yun Niang, is this young master your guest?" A soft and gentle voice came from the yard.

Xie Chen had long seen a thin man with a pale face sitting on a small wooden cart coming towards him.

"Thank you, Young Master, and I would like you to diagnose the Young Master." Yun Niang's tone was equally gentle, completely different from the coldness outside the door just now.

Xie Chen looked at the man in the car, then at Yun Niang, sighed, and walked to the car.

After taking the pulse, Xie Chen pursed his lips and thought for a long time before he said, "Has anyone diagnosed and treated you before?"

The man said: "Of course there is. Yun Niang is very capable and has hired many doctors for me."

Xie Chen stopped talking.

The man smiled and said: "Of course I know the answer is always the same, but I can't help but think that maybe the next one will be different."

Xie Chen said: "Do you really want to live?"

The man laughed and said, "I think most people in this world want to live."

Xie Chen said: "Even if someone allows you to live, you will only be like a useless person for the rest of your life."

The man was not angry, but still smiled and said: "Does it mean that you think I wasn't so 'like a useless person' before?"

Xie Chen was silent.

The man said: "Whether a person has eyes or no eyes, whether his limbs are intact or his legs are useless, what does it have to do with his desire to live? If I live, I can listen to the birds, smell the fragrance of flowers, and taste delicious food, even if Even though his muscles and veins are all gone and he cannot learn martial arts, he can still enjoy himself."

As he spoke, he gently took a wooden bird from the armrest of the wooden cart and threw it into the air.

The wooden bird seemed to come to life, fluttering its wings in the air.

"The wooden bird has no life, but I can make it fly in the air. How do you know, sir, that if I were alive, I would definitely be depressed and miserable?" The man raised his head and "looked" at the wooden bird flying in the air with his hollow eyes. "Maybe, What I can see is more than what Young Master can see?"

Xie Chen looked at the man's pale face due to illness, but he didn't seem to think that this was a patient who was already dying.

"I understand." Xie Chen said.

The man just smiled and nodded, and then stared at the wooden birds flying in the sky without saying anything, as if he was obsessed with "watching".

Xie Chen followed Yun Niang out of the yard.

"It turns out that many people came to see it before." Xie Chen walked in front without looking back.

Yun Niang smiled and said: "Yes, but none of them have seen the Yin Chi Gu."

Xie Chen stopped and looked back at her seriously.

Yun Niang said: "I think Young Master Xie has also met Young Master. Naturally, he should know that a person like him will not allow me to kill someone for him."

Xie Chen said: "But many people have died because of Taoyuan."

Yun Niang said: "Taoyuan will never kill anyone, and there is no killer of its own. It is those who borrow Taoyuan to find killers to complete the assassination. Even without Taoyuan, do they really think they will not be assassinated?"

Xie Chen sighed.

Yun Niang said: "Young Master is not a fool. Although the landlord of Taoyuan is not him, he knows Taoyuan well. I will never hide anything from Young Master."

Xie Chen said: "Who would have thought that Taoyuan, which is now famous in the world, was only created to seek medical advice."

Yun Niang nodded in agreement: "The development of many things in this world is always bizarre."

Xie Chen said: "I can promise to help you treat your son, but what should I do?"
