At that time, Shi Zaitian was known as a child prodigy in Qianshan County, mainly because of his unique ability to see through objects. Also, he has never studied medicine and teaches people to cure diseases by reciting scriptures. What makes Shi Zaitian even more satisfied with his school is that he has excellent grades in every subject. From elementary school to junior high school and then to high school, he always gets high scores in every entrance exam.
When it came to the high school graduation exam, he was admitted to a medical university in the provincial capital with high scores. Shi Zaitian specializes in surgery. One of his close classmates asked him why he was so fond of surgery. He said that it is good to learn surgery, as the surgeon's scalpel can best suppress evil.
He also said that during his internship, he opened his eyes when he went to the hospital and saw that there were many patients and many ghosts. Almost every patient was followed by an evil ghost who was asking for debts or life. The patient sits in front of an ordinary doctor for questioning, and the ghost sits next to him or hides in the patient.
Shi Zaitian also found an exception. Any patient who sat in front of the surgeon would not be followed by ghosts and would often run away. When the patient leaves the surgeon, the ghost follows the patient or hides in the patient. This made Shi Zaitian see the trick - ghosts are afraid of surgeons, mainly because they are afraid of the surgeon's scalpel.
Once, a patient was undergoing surgery, and a ghost attached to the patient did not leave. By chance, it touched the surgeon's scalpel, which actually hurt the ghost and caused the ghost to scream.
Although the surgeon and the patient could not hear it, Shi Zaitian, who was participating in the internship, could hear it. When he saw an unkempt ghost leaving the patient's body and running away in despair, he said to the surgeon, you are so powerful that even ghosts are afraid of you. Just now, your scalpel injured the ghost spirit. That ghost was like a person whose vitality was injured and could not recover for a long time.
Where is the ghost? I do not believe. said the surgeon who performed the operation.
Shi Zaitian felt there was no need to argue, and he couldn't explain clearly. But he convinced the surgeon of a fact. That time, a patient who had not undergone surgery was groaning on the hospital bed in unbearable pain. Shi Zaitian said that it was ghosts that were torturing the patients. The surgeon who performed the operation asked, "Why do you see it?" Shi Zaitian took the surgeon's scalpel and placed it under the patient's pillow. The patient stopped moaning and slept much more peacefully.
At this moment, Shi Zaitian said to the surgeon, right? Now that the ghosts are scared away, they no longer torture the patients, and the patients stop moaning. This shows that the ghosts are afraid of your surgeon's scalpel.
The surgeon who performed the surgery stopped arguing and just said, "Classmate Shi Zaitian, now I understand why you prefer surgery. You also want to be the surgeon who performs the surgery. Why don't ghosts be afraid of you?" Shi Zaitian smiled and nodded slightly.
But after graduation, Shi Zaitian was not assigned to any hospital, let alone a surgeon. He was left to teach at the Medical University in the provincial capital. He often talked about weird or horrifying supernatural events that were not in the books, and the supernatural events he talked about were all related to human diseases.
A female college student named Li Lamei was very depressed every day, but she felt very happy after listening to Shi Zaitian's "extra" lecture. After class, she asked Shi Zaitian, who had just walked out of the classroom, with a question, "Professor Shi, my mother has a mental illness that will not be cured for a long time." According to your theory, did you encounter evil spirits or offend ghosts and gods?
All mental illnesses are caused by ghosts and gods invading the human body. Bring your mother to school when you have time. I'll see if she can be cured. Not long after Shi Zaitian made this confession, Li Lamei came to find him. She pointed to an elderly woman with a sallow face and disheveled hair outside the office and said, My mother is here, please help her take a look.
Shi Zaitian stood up and walked out of the office, and then he saw clearly that the woman's hands were tied behind her back, and there were two men, one old and one young, protecting her on the left and right of where she was standing. Li Lamei introduced, this is my dad and that is my brother.
Shi Zaitian nodded as a greeting. Then, he looked at Li Lamei's mother. After a moment, Shi Zaitian bowed deeply towards her somewhat sloppily dressed body, which surprised Li Lamei and his father and brother.
Li Lamei asked in a low voice, is there a ghost in my mother? Shi Zaitian said, there is a revered protector in your mother’s heart who is meditating. In this way, after untying your mother's hands, I can pinch the middle finger of her right hand to talk to the protector and find out what caused her condition.
The young man who was untying his mother said, "Professor Shi is sorry. He shouldn't have tied my mother's hands behind her back. He was just untying her because he was afraid that she would hit someone." If we tied her hands to her chest, we were afraid that she would bury her head and bite the rope with her teeth. As my mother's relatives, we had no choice but to do this.
Oh, I understand your struggles. As Shi Zaitian spoke, he pinched the loosened middle finger of her right hand. This was because the heart acupuncture point was on the middle finger of her hand. Suddenly, a voice that only Shi Zaitian could hear came from her heart, Hey, this protector is meditating, why are you interfering? What do you want from me?
Shi Zaitian said, "Please forgive me, Protector of the Dharma. What wrong did this woman do?" I'm so annoyed that you gave her an incurable mental illness.
The voice said, Professor Shi, you don’t know something. During the Red Catastrophe in Dongtu Kingdom, the family named Li was short of bricks and tiles when building a house, so this woman moved the bricks and tiles from the demolished temple to fill them. This crime offended the gods, so she was punished. The soul of the world is a combination of heavenly soul, earthly soul, and human soul, which are indispensable. If there is any deficiency, disasters and illnesses will inevitably occur. Now this woman's human soul is detained in the City God's Temple. She has not been able to return to her original place, and her heart cannot make the decision. Of course she will go crazy, and no doctor in the world can do anything about it.
Dharma Protector, can you spare her a little while and leave her heart, return her human soul to her original body, and make her recover as before? Shi Zaitian begged.
No, unless her family tries their best to raise funds from all over the world to rebuild the temple and educate people, and eliminate their past mistakes. The protector spoke of its sacred conditions.
At this time, Shi Zaitian let go of the middle finger of the woman's right hand, and she actually started dancing, grinning with a toothy grin, and then shouted, "I became the magistrate of Qianshan County..."
Li Lamei's father immediately took out the bag of biscuits he had prepared for him from his backpack, took out a few pieces, stuffed them into her mouth and chewed them, so that she stopped screaming.
Li Lamei's brother tied her unsteady hands behind her back. Li Lamei asked Shi Zaitian on the side, is there any way to cure my mother's disease? Shi Zaitian told her what the Dharma Protector told him.
Of course, her father and brother also heard this, but they felt cold in their hearts. They felt that they were unable to raise funds to rebuild the temple and enlighten the world, so they had no choice but to send Li Lamei's sick mother back to her hometown.
Li Lamei didn't need to go back to her hometown, but she accompanied her father and brother to escort her mother. In fact, she wanted to talk to the officials of the Lijiawan Village Committee about her mother and see if she could use the power of the village committee to mobilize the masses to raise funds to restore and build the temple that had been destroyed in the past.
But when she went to the village committee and talked about the matter, the village cadres were not enthusiastic. Some people say that the dirt roads in the village are so uneven that it is impossible to raise funds to build a cement road. How is it possible to raise funds to build a temple?
Li Lamei turned around and left. Of course she was returning to the Medical University, which was far away from the provincial capital and had to be reached by boat across the river.
When she arrived at the county town, she bought a boat ticket. When she saw that it was still early to board the boat, she didn't want to go to the dock to wait. Instead, she walked on the street, looking here and there, killing time.
Because the weather was too hot, Li Lamei felt very thirsty after walking down the street, so she walked towards a Yangui Lai Teahouse she was familiar with, intending to buy a cup of the cheapest light tea to quench her thirst. But when Li Lamei walked into the teahouse, she saw many customers queuing up to buy tea, and she followed behind.
After a while it was her turn, and she was the last one. She bought a cup of tea and walked to an empty table. She was about to sit down and drink it slowly when she suddenly noticed a leather bag on the seat. She accidentally finished drinking tea and saw that she was the only one left in the tea room. She opened the mouth of the leather bag and looked, wow! It's full of shiny gold bars. I feel that so many gold bars are worth a lot of money. It can be said that Li Lamei is in need of money. Professor Shi Zaitian said that if she can raise funds to build a temple, perform meritorious deeds, and eliminate evil obstacles, her crazy mother can recover like a normal person.
Together with this thought, another thought came to her: No, I can't take away this leather bag filled with gold bars, because the owner must be very anxious. I have to wait until the owner finds the property and returns it to its original owner before leaving.
Mr. Zhong, who made a fortune by speculating in local real estate, saw that the current currency was depreciating and was worried that the money he earned was becoming less and less valuable, so he exchanged all his 10 million yuan deposits in the bank for gold bars to preserve their value. I plan to put it in another big bank where I have an acquaintance for safekeeping.
At that time, I exchanged 50 gold bars, put them in a leather bag, and hid them in the trunk of Boss Zhong's self-driving car. It was fine.
Being too cautious, Boss Zhong drove the car to the door of Yan Guilai Teahouse and parked it. He opened the car again, took out the bulging leather bag, and motioned to the assistant Jia Rihuan who got off the driver's seat to carry it. He said it was so valuable. We were worried that someone would be watching us and break open the carriage while we were drinking tea to quench our thirst. That would be a huge loss.
Jia Rihuan obeyed Boss Zhong’s orders. After the two had tea, Boss Zhong went to the toilet in a hurry and did not enter the teahouse again. Jia Rihuan paid for the tea and came out. Seeing Boss Zhong opening the car door and getting into the driver's seat, he quickened his pace and climbed into the passenger seat.
Boss Zhong started the car and drove to the entrance of the County People's Hospital, found a parking space and said, "It's a happy day, I suddenly have diarrhea and want to go into the hospital."
Boss Zhong, I'll go with you. Jia Ri said cheerfully.
So the two got out of the car and walked into the hospital. Boss Zhong was examined at the hospital and found to have severe dysentery. The hospital prescribed medicine for him to take orally and gave him a bottle of intravenous injection.
Jia Rihuan, who was accompanying Boss Zhong, suddenly remembered that the leather bag containing 50 gold bars was lost, and his face turned pale with fright. It was worth 10 million yuan, and he could not spend it all in his lifetime. Jia Rihuan didn't dare to hide it, so he just said it. After hearing this, Boss Zhong felt a "buzz" in his head.
He was usually very suspicious, so he naturally didn't believe it. He suspected that Jia Rihuan was playing tricks, which was obviously disloyal to him. Seeing Jia Rihuan shaking with fear, I thought he was just faking it. But Boss Zhong didn't attack immediately. He just said in a commanding tone, Rihuan, go back quickly and ask the two horsemen hired by our company to come to me. I ordered them to accompany you to find the leather bag. You can't be alone. Go look for it, it won't be safe if you reveal yourself. Jia Rihuan, who was extremely anxious, did not dare to neglect and hurriedly left the ward where Boss Zhong was doing the infusion.
Besides, Li Lamei sat and waited for several hours with this leather bag in her hand. Looking out the window of the teahouse, the sun was setting and no one had come to the teahouse yet.
When it was almost 5 o'clock, a middle-aged man walked toward the teahouse door with a melancholy expression, followed by two unruly-looking men, one fat and one thin.
The thin man pointed at the middle-aged man and said, "Go in and look for him quickly. Boss Zhong gave a death order. If you can't find him this afternoon, don't go back." The fat man clenched the hand with the white edge of the rolled up sleeve into a fist and said arrogantly, "Jia Rihuan, if you can't find the bag of gold bars, I'm sorry, I will stuff you into a sack tonight and throw you into the river to feed the fish."
