Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 32: Bumping into Guests
After opening his mind and third eye, Ren Yuan not only greatly improved his physical fitness, but he could also use more complex talismans.

Seeing that he was gradually maturing, and that the temple was becoming more and more popular and performing more and more rituals, the senior sister began to act separately from him, allowing Ren Yuan to take charge on his own.

That day, Ren Yuan came to the newly built Anjifang to treat the poor and sick people.

In that era, common people had no access to medical treatment for their illnesses and could only rely on witchcraft to cure them. Therefore, the village shamans all more or less mastered some incantations to cure illnesses using talismans and water.

Although Ren Yuan had only a limited knowledge of the art, under the sweep of his third eye, no evil spirits, ghosts, or human body ailments could escape his detection, so he could naturally prescribe the right talisman for the right disease.

For common ailments, a bowl of talisman water can basically cure them.

Of course, if we encounter any difficult or complicated problems, we have to leave them to our senior sister to deal with.

He had just drawn a plague-repelling talisman on yellow paper for several patients with big stomachs and told the nurses to burn it into ashes for them to drink. Over there, several civilians carrying a young man came in hurriedly asking for help.

"Second Young Master, please save my child!" A farmer, who should be the cowherd boy's father, knelt down in front of Ren Yuan.

"Get up." Ren Yuan raised his hand to support him, and he couldn't kneel down. "Let me check on the child first."

As he spoke, Ren Yuan walked over to the boy, who was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and saw that both of his legs were broken, revealing his white bones.

"This kid went up the mountain to collect herbs, but he fell off the cliff..." The farmer asked nervously, "Can he stand up again?"

These days, poor families can't afford to keep idle people. Ren Yuan knew that if the child couldn't stand up, he would die.

After thinking for a while, he first used a pain-relieving charm and a sleeping charm on the boy who was screaming in pain. He then waved to the civet cat and whispered a few words to it. The cat then jumped onto the wall and disappeared.

When it reappeared, it had two green willow branches in its mouth.

At this time, Ren Yuan had asked the nurse to prepare cockscomb blood. He sharpened both ends of a willow branch, dipped it in cockscomb blood, and then inserted it into the two broken bones of the boy's left leg.

The young man suddenly woke up in pain and was about to scream and struggle, but fortunately Ren Yuan was prepared and cast a talisman to immobilize him, making him completely unable to move.

Ren Yuan followed the same method and used willow branches to connect the boy's right leg. He then drew two bone-setting talismans, two knife-sealing talismans, and two bleeding-stopping talismans and applied them on the boy's legs in turn.

Then he wiped the sweat off his face, removed the immobilization spell for the young man, and said, "Okay, you can get out of bed after a few days of rest."

"Son, how do you feel?" the farmer asked quickly when he saw his son wake up.

"It feels numb, but it doesn't hurt much anymore." The boy felt it and answered truthfully.

The farmer reached out and touched his legs and found that the bones had been healed and the bleeding had stopped. He was overjoyed and kowtowed to Ren Yuan to express his gratitude.

"Get up quickly. I told you not to be so polite." Ren Yuan waved his hand and ordered, "Just let the child stay here and wait until he recovers before going back."

The farmers were moved to tears of gratitude, and everyone else sighed that the second young master was simply a living Bodhisattva.

As they were talking, another patient came in. This time, Ren Yuan knew the patient, Liu Lizheng from Nanqiaoxi Village.

The servants carried Liu Lizheng into the town on a stretcher. His brother Liu Er hurriedly bowed to Ren Yuan and said, "Second Master, save my elder brother."

"What happened?" Ren Yuan walked to the sedan chair and looked at Liu Lizheng, who was tied to a chair with a silly smile on his face and drooling.

"My eldest brother went to his father-in-law's house yesterday. When he came back it was late, so he took a shortcut home. As a result, he caught a fever in the middle of the night. I'm afraid he got sick from bumping into a guest." Liu Er replied.

To "zhuangke" means to encounter evil spirits and to have one's mind bewildered.

Ren Yuan nodded, and suddenly used the move of Two Dragons Searching for the Pearl, piercing Liu Lizheng's eyes directly. He was so scared that he dodged backwards and screamed.

Ren Yuan paused his finger on Liu Lizheng's eyelids, put down his hand and said, "It wasn't a bumping guest. If it was a bumping guest, he wouldn't have even frowned just now."

"Then who is my eldest brother?" Liu Er asked. At this time, Liu Lizheng suddenly laughed loudly, and then cursed at everyone, saying something like "I am the emperor of Daqi, why don't you kneel to welcome me?"

"Maybe he's being controlled by something." Ren Yuan couldn't really explain it, so he drew a 'evil spirit leaving the body talisman' and said, "Who cares which god he is, just send him away."

As he spoke, he lit the yellow talisman, held it with the peach wood sword, and began to move his body, chanting a spell to exorcise the evil spirit:
"Gods return to temples, ghosts return to graves, demons and monsters return to the mountains and forests, as ordered!"

After the curse was cast, he swung the wooden sword and a fire snake circled around Liu Lizheng three times before disappearing.

Liu Lizheng was stunned for a while, then he came back to normal and asked, "Why did you tie me up?"

Liu Er quickly ordered his men to release his eldest brother and explained the situation to him. After the two brothers thanked the second young master, they said goodbye and left.

Who would have thought that after a while, Liu Er came back again, crying and shouting:

"Second Young Master, my elder brother is ill again. He is running around naked in the fields and we can't catch him..."

Ren Yuan had no choice but to personally go out and catch the naked Liu Lizheng from the rice field. He then used the "Xuanwu Exorcist Talisman" and the "Hundred Evil Removal Talisman" to exorcise the evil spirit for him, but the result was the same. He was fine right after the ritual, but he got sick again when he went out.

He was completely out of ideas now, so he had to use the sound transmission note to get people to come...

Unexpectedly, the same thing happened when the senior sister came. No matter what method we used to cure Liu Lizheng, he would get sick again as soon as he went out.

Seeing this, Ren Yuan had no choice but to admit that he was powerless and asked Liu Er to take his brother to look somewhere else.

Liu Er had no choice but to have his elder brother carried to the Hebo Temple in the town to try to ask the teacher to help exorcise the evil spirit.

~~
"As a result, the old woman cured Liu Da with one move, and he never had a relapse after returning..." The civet cat brought the latest news back to the mountain temple, and said depressedly to A Yao and Ren Yuan:

"Alas, now people are saying that the Hebo Temple is indeed the most powerful one."

The two sisters and brothers were not angry after hearing this. Ren Yuan smiled and said, "Old ginger is spicy, it's normal."

"That's right, we are still young." The senior sister nodded vigorously and said, "It's normal to have problems that cannot be solved."

"Don't be careless, I think there's something wrong with that old hag's face. She talks about our mountain temple every three sentences, making sarcastic remarks." The civet cat reminded them, "We have to earn our face back."

"Okay, okay." Senior Sister Ren Yuanhe agreed casually, seemingly not caring.

As a result, within two days, another village head named Feng in the southern part of the village was also possessed by evil spirits, and his symptoms were exactly the same as those of Village Head Liu.

This time the Feng family learned their lesson and did not come to find Ren Yuan. Instead, they sent the child directly to the Hebo Temple for help.

Then the teacher said, "Don't people in the south of your village believe in the mountain god? Go find the mountain god first. If she can't cure it, then you can come to our Hebo Temple and ask for help."

The Feng family had no choice but to carry Feng Lizheng to the mountain god temple again.

However, before they arrived, the cats in the town passed the news to the ears of the civet cat...

"It seems there is something fishy going on. What kind of devil is it that chooses to play tricks on the head of our southern village?" Ren Yuan bowed to Hua Limao and apologized, "Master Wen Li is very perceptive. I admit defeat to you, brother."

"Haha, I'm glad you know!" The civet cat was a little proud, and then said anxiously: "If we don't make a move this time, the sign that we have finally put up will be torn down again."

"Don't worry," A Yao waved his hand and said confidently, "Last time was last time, this time is this time."

"That's right, my sister and I have a plan. Just let them come!" Ren Yuan nodded and said fiercely, "No matter who he is, I will make sure he never comes back this time!"

The cat then realized that although these two guys said they didn't care, they were actually very stubborn and who knows how much homework they had done in private.
