Chapter 1619

In ancient times, people usually copied Buddhist scriptures by hand and then offered them to the gods and Buddhas.

No matter which ritual was used, sincerity was what truly mattered. As the saying goes, "if you believe, it exists; if you don’t, it doesn’t." If your heart is sincere, any form represents your devotion.

"I haven't seen you copying scriptures lately. How did you get so many scrolls?" Yan Aohan asked with curiosity.

Zhu Yanyi smiled and said, "I copy for one hour every morning. I really have no time at other times. Haven't you noticed I wake up an hour earlier than usual? I spend that hour copying."

Yan Aohan nodded and said, "Sincerity is what counts."

"It can only be sincerity," Zhu Yanyi laughed. "Besides, I haven't practiced calligraphy well recently. Copying scriptures is actually the best way to practice writing."

Yan Aohan hummed in agreement. "Copying is fine, just don't tire yourself out."

"I know," Zhu Yanyi smiled at Yan Aohan.

After burning the scripture scrolls, Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan went inside to rest.

Once the midnight bell rang, the air on the street outside seemed to grow colder. Occasional gusts of wind swept up the ashes of the burned paper money from the corners, as if something were snatching them away.

Yan Aohan smiled at Zhu Yanyi. "Want to go see the fun?"

"No," Zhu Yanyi yawned. "It’s only the first hour of the fifteenth day. Even if any spirits come, they won’t be evil ones. Let those playful spirits play on their own. It’s not easy for them to get out for just a few days a year."

Zhu Yanyi sighed with some emotion. "Besides, aren’t you going to the hospital to accompany Grandpa tomorrow night? I’ll go with you. The spirits in the hospital are more interesting."

"You’re getting bolder," Yan Aohan said, smiling helplessly.

"No choice. With you around, I’ve always been bolder," Zhu Yanyi chuckled softly.

Zhu Yanyi herself found it strange. In her past life, she had never been this bold. Now, she was becoming increasingly daring. It was probably because she had the Book of Life and Death, gained special abilities, and her internal energy had reached the late stage of Gangjin (Iron Body). So, she couldn’t help but feel confident and bold.

Yan Aohan didn’t say much, only adding, "Being bold has its benefits. People with big courage have stronger Yang energy than ordinary people. Relatively speaking, spirits dare not confront such people, fearing their Yang energy might harm them."

Zhu Yanyi listened and asked, "Isn’t it said that men are Yang and women are Yin?"

"That’s a medical perspective. Actually, male Yang is just a classification. For example, there is the sun during the day and the moon at night. It’s just to distinguish between men and women, making things clear and orderly," Yan Aohan explained to Zhu Yanyi.

"Living in this world, people rely on a breath of Yang energy. Regardless of gender, if Yang energy is strong, all evils cannot invade. Isn’t there such a theory in your Traditional Chinese Medicine? When a patient’s body is weak, they say Yang energy is insufficient. It’s the same principle."

Zhu Yanyi nodded as she listened. "So whether men or women, living beings have Yang energy. If Yang energy is sufficient, there’s no need to fear spirits or evil qi. Then what about the legendary Yin-Yang Eyes?"

"Those are born with insufficient Yang energy. Look, how many people in this world have Yin-Yang Eyes? If someone truly had them, they probably wouldn’t live past eighteen. People with Yin-Yang Eyes essentially have weak Yang energy and excessive Yin energy. Such people easily attract spirits, like Tang Sanzang’s meat," Yan Aohan said calmly. "So such people basically don’t live past eighteen."

"I see," Zhu Yanyi said. She had never heard of anyone having Yin-Yang Eyes in this world. She originally thought it was because even if someone had them, they wouldn’t tell anyone. Now she knew it was because these people didn’t live long.

Yan Aohan smiled lightly. "But you have the Book of Life and Death. You are naturally someone who can see spirits without having Yin-Yang Eyes, and it won’t harm your body’s Yang energy."

Zhu Yanyi tilted her head and smiled. "Time to sleep. Tomorrow I’m going to be a Heavenly Master."

Seeing Zhu Yanyi’s excitement, Yan Aohan smiled and said nothing more. Tomorrow night might be lively, so it was better to rest well tonight.

The next morning, Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan packed up slightly. Yan Aohan first sent Zhu Yanyi to the hospital, then returned to handle his affairs, planning to go to the hospital at night to relieve Taishu Yuanxiang.

As soon as Zhu Yanyi started work, she checked Zhu Xinfu, confirmed her recovery was good, prescribed nutrient injections, and then went to check other wards.

At Huaguang Sect, things were relaxed. When Zhu Yanyi entered, Huang Guangzong was sitting by the window making tea. Although her legs were paralyzed, her hands could still move.

Zhu Yanyi walked over and took out a pulse pillow. "Sect Master Hua, let me take your pulse."

"Thank you for your trouble," Huang Guangzong said without refusing, extending his hand.

Zhu Yanyi took her pulse, examined her, and then said, "Sect Master Hua, your treatment needs to proceed in three steps. The first step is massage. As a martial artist, you should know that once paralyzed, meridians atrophy. Fortunately, you’ve had massages recently, so although paralyzed, your meridians are well-maintained. Now, just combine the essential oil I prescribe with massage for a few more days, and you can enter the second step.

The second step is acupuncture and medicinal baths. Acupuncture will connect your acupoints, followed by medicinal baths. Acupuncture and baths happen simultaneously. Once the acupoints are connected and the medicine enters your meridians, we move to the third step: solo acupuncture. This stabilizes the recovered meridians, allowing you to do rehabilitation with support. The whole process will take about twenty days. Do you have any objections, Sect Master Hua?"

"No objections. Being able to walk in about twenty days is perfect for me," Huang Guangzong said sincerely. Being cured of paralysis caused by Qi deviation would make Zhu Yanyi a top figure in the sect. But this honor came from her medical skills. As long as she could cure her, giving her this honor was right.

Seeing Huang Guangzong had no objections, Zhu Yanyi finalized the plan. "If Sect Master Hua has no objections, I’ll write the essential oil prescription later. You can have someone you trust rub the oil in their palms to warm it up before massaging. There’s basically no technical difficulty."

"Thank you, Little Divine Doctor," Huang Guangzong said seriously.

Zhu Yanyi smiled and said nothing more. After finishing with Huang Guangzong, she went to Chen Xiangning and her son.

"Little Doudou’s condition has been improving these days. Because of his young age, some medicines and acupuncture points cannot be used. So I use the gentlest acupuncture techniques, which means treatment will take longer. But he will get better eventually."
