I use my supernatural powers to prove my immortality

Chapter 58 Faith is the last line of defense for mankind

As soon as he arrived at Wang Zhang's home, Zhong Lixiao began to understand why she wanted to ask him for help so much but was always hesitant.

All this is because Wang Zhang’s family is now basically penniless.

More importantly, in this impoverished house, a temple dedicated to the mountain goddess was the best maintained.

Although there is not much wealth left in the house, the statue of the mountain goddess is still dazzling.

There are often three incense sticks burning in the small incense burner in front of the statue.

So much so that the whole house is often filled with the smell of incense.

Zhong Lixiao immediately understood Wang Zhang's deep concerns. She might be worried that her devout worship of a goddess might anger him.

Although Zhong Lixiao had just arrived in Yuliangzhuang and had visited the Mountain Goddess Temple to burn incense, she still had concerns.

This also made Zhong Lixiao realize that even though he was still a minor Qi training cultivator, in the eyes of ordinary mortals, he was no longer someone who could be easily approached.

Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. He can be approachable and domineering, but ordinary people have their own standards in their hearts.

And this is the survival wisdom of the common people!
After realizing these truths, Zhong Lixiao felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

It’s not that I’m sad, I just feel that I have a clearer understanding of myself.

I have a deeper understanding of the word "anchor", which I often saw on the Internet in my previous life.

What kind of person you are depends not only on how you see yourself, but also on how others see you!
In addition, Wang Zhang grew up in a well-off family and had received several years of education, so she should have heard some anecdotes about immortals and gods.

for example.

For those who practice Taoism, there is an unspoken rule that immortals cannot enter the temple without invitation, and gods cannot enter the Taoist temple without invitation.

First, people with different ideals cannot work together;
The second is that in this world, gods really exist, and in many big cities there are real city gods appointed by the imperial court.

Entering a temple without permission is like trespassing into someone else's cave, which is extremely rude and reckless, and may very likely result in enmity.

Third, being in a temple is equivalent to being in the "divine domain" of the gods. The repressive force is very strong, and once a conflict occurs, it is very likely to suffer a great loss.

Zhong Lixiao had heard something about these unspoken rules.

The main reason why he broke this unspoken rule was because of the guidance of fate that "God loves simple-minded people".

In addition, Zhong Lixiao showed no dissatisfaction with others' worship of gods.

Having lived two lives as a human, he was not born into a family of immortal cultivators, so he has a lot of experience as a mortal.

Especially when he experienced his elderly parents falling ill and even the best hospitals were helpless to treat them, he understood even more how helpless humans are in the face of birth, aging, sickness and death.

There are thousands of good medicines in the world, but none of them can cure old age diseases.

Although he had been in Yuliangzhuang for such a long time, Zhong Lixiao had never sensed the existence of the mountain goddess. Even with the blessing of the magical power "One Acre and Three Fen Land", he still could not sense it.

It may be that there are too few believers and worshippers, or it may be that it has not yet been conferred an imperial title, and now it is still just a clay or wooden sculpture.

but.

In the face of absolute powerlessness, faith is the last line of defense.

Zhong Lixiao took the initiative to walk to the altar dedicated to the Mountain Goddess, picked up three incense sticks, lit them, and then bowed and burned incense in one go.

Seeing this move, both Wang Zhang and Doctor Li once again had a favorable impression of Zhong Lixiao.

Wang Zhang's heart, which had been hanging in the air just now, was finally at ease, and her eyes were wet with tears.

"My son couldn't make it through two or three times in these years. I had no other choice but to go to the temple to worship the goddess of the mountain. Perhaps it was the mercy of the goddess of the mountain that helped my son get through the three times. Later, I brought the goddess of the mountain home to worship her."

Wang Zhang spoke sincerely, believing without a doubt that it was the mountain goddess who had been protecting her son until now.

Zhong Lixiao was slightly surprised.

real or fake?

Could it be that this mountain goddess has really begun to become a deity because of the incense?

But he did not sense any fluctuations from the mountain goddess.
Zhong Lixiao was very curious, but he also knew that now was not the time to explore this.

Wang Zhang's son's room was next to the temple dedicated to the mountain goddess. He was already fast asleep, or rather, he was sleeping very soundly.

Zhong Lixiao observed the patient for a while and then he realized that the son Wang Zhang was talking about was now over ten years old.

The skin didn't have much blood color, and even looked a little dry and bruised.

but.

The child was very clean, which showed that although the child was born with a disability, his mother never gave up and took good care of him. For Wang Zhang, all she wanted was for her son to be healthy and to call her mother like other normal children.

But such a simple request is still too extravagant for the mother and son.

Not getting what you want may be one of the greatest sorrows and helplessness in life!

Zhong Lixiao felt heavy in his heart, but he also had a sense of mission.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why he has worked so hard to study medicine over the years.

Wang Zhang stroked her son's hair and said distressedly, "My parents are like this. They either sleep lightly and suffer from insomnia and dream a lot, or they sleep very deeply and cannot be awakened no matter how hard you call them."

Zhong Lixiao heard this and immediately started thinking.

Sleeping shallowly, suffering from insomnia and many dreams, somewhat similar to the symptoms of "insomnia".

Considering that he is still a child, there is no problem of excessive mental stress, emotional damage, or imbalance between work and rest.

It is very much like long-term illness and physical weakness leading to organ dysfunction, imbalance of qi and blood, and imbalance of yin and yang.

but.

He often slept so soundly that he couldn't be woken up even if you called him.

Why does it look like there’s something wrong with the “corpse dog” among the three souls and seven spirits?
The corpse dog soul has a warning effect. People who are too alert will get nervous at the slightest sign of trouble.

People who are too unvigilant may fall asleep as if they were unconscious and may not even notice that thieves have emptied their house.

Considering that this child couldn't speak until he was in his teens and had been confused in the following years, it was obvious that he had some problems with his IQ.

Could it be that there is something wrong with the "Shuangling" (earth soul) among his three souls?
Zhong Lixiao immediately recalled a case recorded in a medical book collected by his family. In the case, a miracle doctor named Hua once treated a child about four years old.

The symptoms are very similar to those of the longevity person in front of us.

Doctor Hua tried all kinds of prescriptions, but was unable to save the child, and his life ended at the age of six.

This incident has always been a regret for Doctor Hua and he has never forgotten it.

It was not until many years later that the reason was revealed from an accomplished monk - the child was born with one soul and one spirit missing, and premature death was his inevitable fate.

When Zhong Lixiao thought of this, his brows suddenly frowned.

If he really was missing a soul and a spirit, then he really had no ability to save him.

Seeing that the immortal master frowned, Wang Zhang's heart, which had just ignited a little hope, suddenly sank to the bottom.

Her mind was blank, as if struck by lightning. She dared not say anything or ask anything, for fear that once the immortal master opened his mouth, it would completely cut off her son's last hope of recovery.

This is an ostrich mentality and a typical case of covering one's ears and stealing the bell.

but.

Everyone present, whether it was Zhong Lixiao or Doctor Li who had been watching silently, could now understand why Wang Zhang was trying to cover up her mistake.

If we talk about disappointment, Doctor Li was actually more disappointed.

He has been treating patients and saving lives for many years, curing many difficult and complicated diseases, and is even regarded as a miracle doctor by many villagers.

But only Doctor Li himself knew that his limited medical skills were far from enough.

There are so many medicines in the world, but when people really need to take medicine to treat diseases, they often find helplessly that there is no single medicine that can cure many difficult and complicated diseases in the world.

And this is undoubtedly the greatest torture for a doctor.

Zhong Lixiao was also speechless.

He originally wanted to cure Wang Zhang's son's illness and then seize the seed of magical power in her body, but he never expected that he was completely helpless.

At this moment, Zhong Lixiao's mind suddenly became dazed.

Afterwards, the magical power "God loves fools" once again gave him guidance on his destiny.

In a trance, Zhong Lixiao saw that he took a drop of Wang Zhang's blood and obtained her magical powers.

Afterwards, he took another drop of Doctor Li's blood and also gained his magical powers.

Finally, Changshou, who was lying on the bed with bruises on his face, woke up. He opened his mouth and called out "Mom", and there was more liveliness in his eyes.

In just a moment, Zhong Lixiao's eyes became sparkling.
