A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

Chapter 223 Science and Metaphysics

Just then, the ward door was pushed open, and Ye Beichen and his group rushed over.

Before they could speak, Zhang Lingyuan said first, "Sun's soul has been separated from her body for a long time, like a rootless duckweed. The acupuncture was just performed to guide her consciousness back to its place. It used qi to guide and needles to cross, barely pulling her wandering soul back. However, the soul is not like bones and muscles. It is easy to damage, but difficult to gather. Right now, we are only stabilizing the foundation. Whether she can fully wake up in the future depends on her own fate and the recuperation in the next few days."

Ye Beichen hurriedly asked, "Daoist Master, how should I recuperate next?"

Zhang Lingyuan said, "In her condition, acupuncture accounts for 30% and recuperation for 70%. For the next half month, my apprentice will come to administer acupuncture every three days to strengthen her Qi and blood. In addition, her diet should be light and mildly nourishing, avoiding sudden heavy supplementation. Her body is like an oil lamp that is about to burn out; heavy supplementation can easily backfire and cause it to burn out even faster. Also, once the spirit returns to its place, it is most afraid of external disturbances. Her room should be kept quiet and free of noise. When family members visit, it is not advisable for many people to make a fuss. It is best to leave only one or two people each time and talk softly. You can slowly tell her about everyday matters. Although her consciousness is wandering outside, her ears may not be completely deaf. Saying more comforting and reassuring words may be able to guide her spirit back to its place sooner."

Ye Beichen listened solemnly and quickly said, "I've remembered it, and I will definitely do as the Taoist priest says."

"In addition," Zhang Lingyuan added, "the time of Chenshi every day, which is from seven to nine in the morning, is when the yang energy in her body begins to rise. If it is convenient, you can open the window to let some fresh air in and let some morning sun into the room, which will also be beneficial to her recovery of consciousness."

Hearing Zhang Lingyuan's words, the Ye family members finally felt a little more at ease.

The conclusions reached by the Western medical experts and even several international authorities who consulted on the case were not optimistic; no one dared to guarantee whether the patient would wake up.

But the Taoist priest in front of them spoke eloquently and logically, which rekindled a glimmer of hope in the hearts of everyone present.

Su Fan stood aside, watching all of this without saying a word.

Zhang Lingyuan glanced at the time and said, "Alright, that's enough for today."

After saying that, he turned and walked out.

Ye Beichen quickly said, "Daoist Master, you must let us do our part as hosts."

Zhang Lingyuan waved his hand: "No need, I appreciate the thought, there will be other opportunities in the future."

Seeing Zhang Lingyuan's resolute attitude, Ye Beichen could no longer insist on keeping him, so he could only bow and express his gratitude.

"From now on, if you ever need anything from the Ye family, please don't hesitate to ask."

Zhang Lingyuan nodded slightly, walked to the door of the ward, glanced at Ye Wangcheng and his wife, and said, "What is destined to be yours will be yours, and what is not destined to be yours cannot be forced. Some things, though seemingly lost, may not be truly lost."

These words were so cryptic that no one present understood what they meant, and they all looked at each other in bewilderment.

After finishing his sentence, Zhang Lingyuan didn't linger and walked straight out.

The Ye family members stood there, looking at each other, completely bewildered.

After a long pause, Ye Yun seemed to remember something and tentatively asked, "Does Master Zhang mean those two paternity tests?"

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.

After Ye Xuan's car accident, two paternity test reports were found in the car. Ye's family assumed that the child was an illegitimate child that Ye Xuan had fathered outside the home.

During this time, the Ye family has been secretly sorting out Ye Xuansheng's network of relationships, trying to find out the so-called illegitimate child.

Upon hearing this, Ye Beichen said, "Although Xuan'er's passing is a misfortune for the Ye family, our Ye family line has not truly ended, which can be considered a blessing in disguise."

Hearing this, Ye Wangcheng and his wife's eyes instantly reddened. The pain of losing their son had not yet subsided, and hearing these words now, their hearts were filled with mixed feelings, unable to tell whether they felt relieved or even more heartbroken.

After leaving the hospital with his master and senior brother, Su Fan asked, "Master, what exactly did you mean by what you just said?"

"Guess." Zhang Lingyuan gave him a half-smile.

"How could I have guessed?"

Zhang Lingyuan did not answer directly, but said, "Judging from your face, you have a full forehead and an aura of good fortune between your brows. This kind of aura is not something that an ordinary person who wanders alone can possess."

"Master, with your skills, you should just start a live stream and tell fortunes for people. You'd definitely make a fortune, much faster than me singing."

Zhang Lingyuan glanced at him and said, "Don't you know that fate shouldn't be taken lightly?"

"Why can't we be lenient?" Su Fan asked curiously.

Zhang Lingyuan asked, "Do you know what light is?"

"Isn't light just light?"

At this point, Zhang Lingyuan said, "Light is both a wave and a particle. If you observe it using the methods for observing waves, it will take on the form of a wave. If you observe it using the methods for observing particles, it will take on the form of a particle. Before being observed, everything in this world is suspended in an uncertain and chaotic state. Whether it is a wave or a particle is not definitive. Only when you observe it will it collapse into a definite result according to your method of observation."

Su Fan stared wide-eyed at his master, feeling a little lost.

Zhang Lingyuan continued, "Fortune telling works on the same principle. Before a person's fate is revealed, it is originally uncertain. It may be one way or another. All sorts of possibilities are intertwined and endless. But once someone speaks out and reveals the truth, and sets the outcome, that person's mind will unconsciously move in that direction. Step by step, they will turn what was originally a fate with room for maneuver into the only possible outcome. This is the other side of 'fate is created by oneself.' Disaster can come from the mouth, and it can also come from fortune telling."

Upon hearing this, Su Fan was shocked: "Isn't this Schrödinger's cat? Before the box is opened, the cat is both dead and alive, a superposition state. But once the box is opened to observe, this superposition state collapses, and the cat can only be dead or only alive; there are no other possibilities!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingyuan's face showed a rare hint of approval: "You are teachable. In the end, the principles of this world all lead to the same destination. Scientists use instruments to observe particles in the laboratory, while we cultivators use our eyes and our hearts to observe a person's fate. The principles are the same. Anything that has not been revealed will always leave countless possibilities. Once it has been revealed in a single sentence, then only the one path that has been spoken of remains. This is what we often say: the secrets of heaven should not be revealed lightly."
