Chapter 223: Met The Heavenly Lord Of Demon Subjugation? The Chen Clan’s Rules!
Zheng Ruikai could not believe his father’s words. Was that simple blessing just now really effective?
But his father had indeed said he felt better.
A psychological effect?
He was not sure, so he looked at Zhao Xing. The ambulance they had brought had equipment, so they could check his father’s condition.
So he first turned to the Chen Family Head and thanked him. “Thank you, Chen Family Head, for taking action.”
Chen Han nodded. “Go check your father’s condition first, then we will talk.”
Zheng Ruikai froze for a moment. If he had still been doubtful before, after hearing the Chen Family Head now, the other party’s confidence was obvious.
Otherwise he would not have reminded him to have his father examined.
Zheng Ruikai immediately had Zhao Xing help support his father and walked toward outside the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation Hall.
Once outside, Chu Ping hurriedly asked, “Mr. Zheng, how is the old master?”
Zheng Ruikai explained, “We will go to the ambulance first and have my dad’s condition checked.”
Chu Ping nodded.
The group hurried to the ambulance, all wanting to know how the old master was now.
There were many methods to check for arteriosclerosis. The simpler ones were inspection, palpation, and auscultation, with a preliminary judgment made based on the doctor’s experience.
Further steps included blood lipid tests, blood sugar tests, coagulation function tests, imaging tests, ultrasound tests, and so on.
Once at the ambulance, Zhao Xing immediately got in to adjust the equipment. He was now the one who most wanted to know the old master Zheng’s condition.
He also knew the old master Zheng’s condition best.
He truly did not believe that the Chen clan could just perform a blessing and improve the old master Zheng’s condition. That kind of outcome would be too much of an impact on those in the medical field like them.
After debugging one instrument, he invited the old master Zheng to lie down and began a preliminary examination. A nurse from the ambulance assisted at the side.
Because he himself was a physician in this field, he was very familiar with this kind of examination. In no time, he finished the visual inspection, and an expression of disbelief gradually appeared on his face.
Without hesitating, he immediately proceeded to palpation, using a medical flashlight and his hands to feel the state of the old master Zheng’s arteries.
With further checks, his expression became even more incredulous.
This was really like seeing a ghost…
He did not hesitate and hurriedly instructed the nurse, “Use the instrument for a thorough examination!”
The nurse nodded and immediately began operating.
Remembering that Zheng Ruikai was waiting below for news, Zhao Xing, his face full of disbelief, got out of the ambulance to report.
When Zheng Ruikai saw him come down, he naturally stepped forward at once to ask, “Physician Zhao, how is it?”
Zhao Xing said, his face full of disbelief, “Mr. Zheng, it is incredible. The old master’s arteriosclerosis has actually improved by more than half. Now we just need to wait for the instrument to further confirm it.”
“Is this true?” Zheng Ruikai’s face instantly filled with surprise, and at the same time with immense shock. The First Hospital in Qingmin Province had been completely helpless, yet here the Chen clan’s simple blessing had improved more than half?
Did that not make the First Hospital over there seem utterly useless?
Then he subconsciously looked toward the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation Hall, recalling that this was the result under the blessing of the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation.
Did such an existence truly exist?
Otherwise, how could this be explained?
Even the fact that doing evil would bring misfortune upon oneself in the Chen clan’s territory was not a normal thing.
For a moment, a sense of awe could not help but appear on his face.
As the saying went: the people cannot fight the officials, and officials cannot fight heaven.
“How long will the instrument check take?” Zheng Ruikai immediately asked.
“It is the latest instrument, it only takes half an hour.” Zhao Xing answered at once.
“Okay.” Zheng Ruikai nodded. For a while he anxiously waited. Half an hour passed quickly. When the nurse obtained the results, Zhao Xing rushed into the ambulance, took the data, glanced at it, and felt his hands tremble a little.
According to this data, the old master Zheng’s arteriosclerosis had truly improved by most of it.
Before, surgery had been completely impossible. Now there was no problem with surgery.
He went down once more and reported to Zheng Ruikai, “Mr. Zheng, the old master’s condition has indeed improved by more than half. It is truly incredible. Now surgery is no problem.”
“In other words, my dad has really received the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation’s blessing?” Zheng Ruikai blurted out.
Zhao Xing could only subconsciously nod at these words. He stared blankly at the sky, feeling his worldview spinning, and in that spinning he seemed to see a bird fly past, and then something fell down.
At that exact moment, he actually opened his mouth on reflex, and that thing seemed to land right in his mouth.
The next second, he clutched his throat and gagged violently. “Pah! Pah! Pah!”
His eyes widened as he realized what it was.
Frightened, he immediately looked toward the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation Hall.
No way.
Was it really this effective?
He had only sworn in his heart that he would eat excrement, and it was actually made to happen?
Thinking of this, he was so terrified that he knelt toward the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation Hall.
This sudden scene startled both Zheng Ruikai and Chu Ping. Even if they knew the Chen clan’s blessing was miraculous, this was not necessary, was it?
Next, Zheng Ruikai immediately got into the ambulance and said to the old master Zheng inside, “Dad, your condition has improved by more than half. You can now undergo surgery.”
The old master nodded. “I already heard. You are not like your brother. You must maintain awe toward certain things. When the blessing was given, I felt the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation’s blessing.”
When the blessing began, that feeling was truly miraculous. A warm sensation had appeared in his body, as if some power was coursing through him.
Hearing his father’s words, Zheng Ruikai was stunned, his mouth slightly open.
What had his father just said? He had felt the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation?
This…
A moment later, he remembered something. He had not yet informed his elder brother of this good news. With that thought, he immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed.
Qingmin City.
Zheng Ruixin was already in the office handling his work. Because his position was high enough, there were many matters every day, and every document he signed was no small matter.
But recently, because of his father’s situation, he was somewhat out of sorts and did not know how things were going for his father at the Chen clan.
If the Chen clan’s blessing had no effect, then there would truly be no hope.
As he was thinking this, the telephone ringtone sounded. Seeing it was his younger brother, he knew it concerned their father and answered immediately. His brother’s voice came right away. “Brother, the Chen clan’s blessing is truly incredible. Do you know? Dad saw the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation!”
“???” Zheng Ruixin was completely dumbfounded and subconsciously asked, “What are you talking about? What did the Chen clan do to make dad hallucinate?”
What kind of joke was this?
In his view, the Chen clan’s blessing at most involved some special drug, only acting under the name of a blessing, to enhance their mysterious legends and religious influence.
After all, they were a Daoist Sect Heritage Family, so this explanation made sense.
Like the Yellow Turban rebels of old, Zhang Jue’s talisman water could not really cure illness. Herbs had been added, borrowing the name of mysterious power.
He thought the Chen clan was at most doing something similar.
So when he heard that his father had seen the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation, he instinctively felt something was wrong.
Zheng Ruikai immediately explained, “Brother, it is not an illusion. Dad really saw the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation, and he said it was like a power appeared inside his body.”
“After just a short while, dad’s condition improved by more than half. The physician arranged by the First Hospital said dad can already undergo surgery.”
At this, Zheng Ruixin stood up in shock.
If it were only a hallucination, then dad could not have felt some power entering his body, and it would be impossible for his arteriosclerosis to suddenly improve by more than half.
He knew that since modern medicine had no way to deal with this disease, no traditional remedy could possibly have such a terrifying effect either.
He even felt his scalp go numb.
Could such existences truly be in this world?
But his brother and father would not lie to him, and his father’s condition would not lie.
No wonder his father kept saying one should maintain awe toward certain things. It seemed it was indeed so.
However, given his status and position, there was nothing he could openly do, nor could he take a public stance. He could only tell his brother, “Is there any way to ask the Chen clan to give dad another blessing and completely cure his illness?”
“Wasn’t that tycoon Liu Ye cured? Ask Chu Ping how it was done. Be polite. And remember to keep this matter secret from outsiders. Since the Chen clan does not want this to be known and has kept saying online to believe in science, we must not spread it.”
Zheng Ruikai immediately replied, “Brother, I understand. But dad will still have to go to the First Hospital for surgery. The physicians there know his condition, especially those who examined him. What if someone inquires, or has other motives? Some people are blinded by greed.”
Hearing this, Zheng Ruixin said coldly, “Then we will accuse them of misdiagnosing our dad’s condition. I will call personally.”
“I understand.” Zheng Ruikai answered and hung up. Only then did he notice his father looking at him. Confused, he asked, “Dad, what is it?”
The old master asked, “Did I say I saw the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation?”
“Was that not what you said?” Zheng Ruikai was stunned, but quickly added, “Dad, that is not important. My brother said we should ask the Chen clan to bless you once more, to completely cure your illness. That is what matters most now.”
“Okay.” The old master nodded and did not dwell on it.
Zheng Ruikai immediately went to find Chu Ping and humbly asked, “County Magistrate Chu, I would like to ask, how did that Mr. Liu, Liu Ye, have the Chen clan bless and cure his illness? I want to see if we can completely cure my dad’s illness.”
Naturally, Chu Ping knew what had been done. He did not hide it from Zheng Ruikai and said, “Mr. Liu donated one hundred million to the Chen clan in the name of a religious donation.”
“I understand.” Zheng Ruikai nodded, then picked up his phone to make arrangements. After putting the phone down, he said to Chu Ping, “County Magistrate Chu, I must trouble you to introduce us again tomorrow.”
“Okay.” Chu Ping nodded. He understood the principle of handling matters thoroughly. And based on his understanding of the Chen Family Head, as long as one behaved humbly and politely, he was easy to talk to.
Night fell.
Chen Han returned to his room, sat cross-legged, and once again took out a Primary Spirit Stone, circulating the 《Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method》. He cultivated with great enthusiasm. He felt that by tonight, he would be able to open the fifth of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
Moreover, he had a feeling that once he opened the fifth meridian, the Basic Sword Control Technique might be able to control a relatively light wooden sword.
Because time passed quickly in samadhi, the next day soon arrived, and when the set alarm clock rang, a trace of joy appeared on his face.
The fifth of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians had been opened. Energy now flowed through his whole body. He could clearly feel that his physical fitness had improved by another large margin.
The amount and quality of the true qi in his dantian had both improved. A wooden sword should no longer be a problem.
He did not hesitate and went out to the Special Spiritual Aperture to sit cross-legged and cultivate.
Xiao Mi had already obtained the cultivation method. Sitting cross-legged, absorbing spiritual energy, and refining it, she also entered samadhi. This time she rose together with Xiao Yu, Chen Lin, and the others.
Xiao Yu and Chen Lin had clearly noticed, but tacitly did not ask. Since there were clan rules regarding this cultivation method, if Xiao Mi had obtained it, then she had either been taught by Chen Han as the patriarch, or by that patriarch.
Xiao Mi clearly felt their doubt, but when Chen Han taught her, he had also told her what to say. “That old Daoist priest said I had talent and taught me a simple cultivation method.”
Xiao Yu and Chen Lin had already suspected as much, and now everything became clear.
Chen Han added, “It seems that old ancestor is also very concerned about the Chen clan’s situation. He must know that Xiao Mi has made great contributions to the Chen clan.”
Chen Lin immediately nodded. “He should. It is a good thing that he is paying attention to our family.”
This was met with the approval of Chen Shuisheng and Chen Dagou.
After the others left, Chen Han once again climbed an old elm tree, cut down a thick branch, and stored it in the warehouse.
After handling the medicinal cuisine in Uncle’s Kitchen, he returned to the courtyard, took out that piece of old elm, and began to carve it with a knife.
In no time, a wooden sword was carved and appeared in his hand.
Without hesitation, he gave the wooden sword a flick. Performing the Sword Control Technique, he watched as the wooden sword floated in front of him.
Because he had been cultivating the Basic Sword Control Technique all along, from toothpicks to small wooden swords to this larger wooden sword, he was extremely adept.
With a wave of his palm, the wooden sword moved around him with great spirituality, finally landing steadily on the stone table.
With a mischievous streak, Chen Han called out, “Sword, come!”
In the next instant, the wooden sword flew into his hand.
He was very satisfied. At this rate, the Basic Sword Control Technique would soon be able to control a real sword.
At that moment, a Shushan Immortal Alliance task prompt suddenly appeared in his mind, leaving him dumbfounded:
【Experts led by an Emei Sect expert of the Shushan Immortal Alliance have fought a battle at Daijia Field with evil sect experts and slain many, including Mao Tai.
However, Mao Tai had cultivated a special Nascent Soul technique. His nascent soul escaped. When the Emei Sect expert pursued, he discovered that Mao Tai had fled into the Chen Clan Territory area and was attempting possession. The Chen clan must dispatch people to track him down!
Special reminder: The target likes to provoke fights all around and then watch the spectacle. When escaping, the target carried the Buddhist Sect’s 《Heart Light Escape Technique》. He must be eliminated before he regains full consciousness; otherwise, once he cultivates this escape technique, he will become a major problem! 】
“???” Chen Han was stunned at this sudden Immortal Alliance task.
The Daijia Field battle. Wasn’t that the second large-scale melee in Shu Shan Swordsman after the Ci Yun Temple battle?
But what made that battle so ridiculous was that it escalated from a brawl between villages.
In the end, the villagers involved in the melee were completely baffled.
Mao Tai, in the original story, was a Buddhist Sect expert who had already been killed in the Daijia Field battle. Yet in the game plot he had escaped, and even taken over someone’s body?
The key problem was how he was supposed to find him.
There was no clear location prompt.
However, liking to stir up fights and watch the show was a clue. Another point was that the target carried the Buddhist Sect’s 《Heart Light Escape Technique》. Could that technique drop?
This escape technique was extremely powerful in Shu Shan Swordsman. Once one’s strength was great enough and the technique cultivated to a high level, body followed mind, thought reached and one arrived, with incredible speed, fully controlled.
Even with weak strength, cultivating just the basics could grant terrifying speed.
As Chen Han was thinking, his phone suddenly chimed with a message. Seeing it, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Whether rich or powerful, as long as one was sufficiently polite, had a good attitude, and had no problem under the Minor Punishment as a Warning attribute, he was easy to talk to and did not mind having Aunt-Grandmother give a blessing.
This was the Chen clan’s rule.
