The Ghost Doctor Hongyan of Huayin Jianghu

Chapter 24

"Zhuo'er, what are you doing?" Ling Tianyue was taken aback, and the anger in his heart increased a bit: "This sacrificial ceremony, how can you tolerate nonsense?!"

"Father, which one is more important to you, Ningshan's life or the sacrificial ceremony!" Ling Xuzhuo stared straight at Ling Tianyue, without any sign of retreating in his eyes.

"You—!" Ling Tianyue was very anxious, he stared angrily, his eyes were fierce: "You rebellious son, are you going to openly rebel against your father?"

Ling Xuzhuo was not timid, he stared straight at Ling Tianyue, and then said: "For you, is your status and prestige in the martial arts the most important thing? The sacrificial ceremony is just a formality, but Ning Shan She is your daughter, do you want to put the safety of your blood relatives at risk?"

Blood relatives...

Ling Tianyue was shocked when he heard this word. Before his eyes, it seemed that the scene from decades ago appeared again. Xuanying Villa was full of fire, screams and crying one after another, and bloody corpses were all over the ground. Incomplete limbs are scattered all over the villa.

And at the end of this bloody road, he held a sword dripping with blood and stood on top of countless corpses.His blood-stained long black hair was fluttering in the wind, and his expression at this time could not be seen clearly. In front of him, a dying figure was lying on the ground, covered in blood, and that person was wearing the most solemn and sacred clothes of the Xuanying Clan. The black mandala robes of the...

Memories of the past suddenly flooded into his mind, Ling Tianyue's figure flickered, and he was a little unsteady.He took a few deep breaths to restrain his emotions, his tone was cold and calm, without emotion: "I said, after the sacrificial ceremony, I will send someone to treat her..."

Ling Xuzhuo took a deep breath, stood up, took off the long gown of Master Shaozhuang, and threw it on the ground, with no regrets in his eyes: "I didn't expect this to be my father's answer, since you Don't blame me for being unkind!"

After finishing speaking, Ling Xuzhuo turned around resolutely, and left the sacrificial altar without looking back.

The sudden departure of the young owner made the lively and bustling ceremony suddenly silent. The audience of the ceremony was crowded with people from all walks of life in the martial arts world. Facing this sudden change, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do.

"Master..." The housekeeper Ling Xi stepped forward, looked at Ling Xuzhuo's retreating back with some embarrassment, and said hesitantly: "...Here, what should we do..."

"..." A trace of sadness flashed across Ling Tianyue's eyes. He glanced at Ling Xuzhuo's figure, sighed, and said, "The ceremony continues..."

"But the young master—"

"Let him go..." Ling Tianyue turned around, facing the direction where Ling Xuzhuo disappeared: "Young master will take over the work of the festival..."

"This—" Ling hoped to look at Ling Tianyue's slightly silent back, and sighed deeply in his heart: "Yes... this subordinate obeys..."

Ling Xuzhuo left the altar and quickly ran towards the small wooden house where Ningshan lived. The confrontation and anger towards her father just now have become unimportant, the most important thing now is Ningshan's physical condition.

Ningshan often stays up all night because of the festival, arranging various chores, divination and praying, getting up early and going to bed late every day, working hard, but her father is still so indifferent to her, even her life and death I don't pay attention to it.Thinking of this, the anger in Ling Xuzhuo's heart increased several times, and the pace of his feet also accelerated a lot.

In the cabin, the dim candlelight flickered in front of the window, and the whole room was quiet and lifeless under the cover of darkness. Occasionally, a few frogs croaked, which seemed extremely desolate in this quiet night.

Ling Xuzhuo rushed into the house in three steps at a time, and opened the door. When the two little maids who were serving in front of the window saw the young master, they hurriedly knelt down, trembling with fright, and couldn't even utter a complete sentence——

"Young...Master...Miss, she..."

"Ning Shan——!" Ling Xuzhuo rushed to Ning Shan anxiously, only to see that Ning Shan's eyes were closed tightly, her face was pale, and beads of sweat the size of peas kept coming out from her forehead, she looked haggard and in pain.

"Ning Shan——! Wake up!" Ling Xuzhuo was taken aback. Although Ning Shan had always been weak and sick, her body was fragile, but it was the first time that she was so seriously ill like today.Seeing Ningshan struggling in pain, Ling Xuzhuo panicked all of a sudden, her heart ached like a knife.

"This—how could it be like this!" Ling Xuzhuo was confused, he anxiously grabbed the little maid who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, and asked impatiently: "It's obviously fine this afternoon, why did you suddenly—"

"Master, it's none of our business..." The little girl turned pale with fright, and tears welled up in her eyes: "Miss has been divination in the room, but for some reason, she suddenly fell down like this. We didn't wake her up, originally thought that the young lady was just a relapse of her old illness, and there was nothing serious about it, but when we saw that the young lady's face suddenly turned pale, and her expression seemed to be in pain, we panicked—"

"Damn! Where did the doctor die!" Ling Xuzhuo threw the girl away angrily, and he paced back and forth in the room angrily, shouting angrily: "Miss is seriously ill, the doctor in this village Why is there no one in sight?"

"Young master, the most taboo thing in Xuanying Villa is the doctor..." Another maid who was kneeling on the ground said tremblingly: "The day before the ceremony, the owner sent all the doctors to Linzhou, saying that he would wait until the ceremony. Come back when you're done—"

"Damn it!" Only then did Ling Xuzhuo remember the rules of the sacrificial ceremony. In order to avoid bad luck and taboo, the priests of Xuanying Villa will let all the doctors in the villa leave every year and rest in Linzhou City for a few days.At this time, Ningshan suddenly fell ill. If she sends someone to Linzhou City now, she will have to wait until noon tomorrow at least until the doctor arrives...

Seeing Ning Shan's expression of pain and struggle, Ling Xuzhuo was like an ant on a hot pot, anxious and didn't know what to do.At this moment, the door of the cabin opened suddenly, and Leng Xiaoshang and Feng Ye hurried in.

"How is Sister Ningshan?!" Leng Xiaoshang asked anxiously. She ran to Ningshan's bed and saw Ningshan's pale and haggard face. ?!"

"I don't know..." Ling Xuzhuo hugged his head with both hands in pain, and his tone was full of fear and anxiety: "Although Ning Shan has always been weak and sick, it's the first time that she has an illness like this. I really..."

"Brother Ling, calm down first—" Feng Ye frowned. He walked to Ning Shan's hospital bed, carefully looked at her face, took her pulse again, and calmly analyzed, "Ning Shan may Her face was in pain, but her pulse didn't respond extremely weakly, at this moment, as long as she finds a doctor and prescribes the right medicine as soon as possible, there may be a turning point..."
