The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine - Chapter 600

Chapter 600: Chapter 600: Fierce Sorcery Ghost! (Fifth update)
 

“Fine! Let’s see how you roll out of here like a dog!” Cui Peng glowers at Huang Xiaolong viciously, then randomly picks a seat and sits down.

Xia Ying glances at Cui Peng with a pitying look, thinking to herself, why are you challenging Little Long to a bet? Are you asking for trouble?

Huang Xiaolong laughs and disregards Cui Peng. He takes out a blank talisman paper and a cinnabar pen from his canvas bag and begins to draw a talisman.

Xia Ying can’t help but move closer, observing attentively. Although she doesn’t understand what Huang Xiaolong is drawing, she distinctly feels an indescribable power permeating from the talisman. This isn’t True Qi, but a force more mysterious and unfathomable.

Daoist Power!

Because of the close proximity, all Huang Xiaolong can smell is the high-quality perfume emanating from Xia Ying, as well as the faint scent of a virgin, an indescribable comfort and sense of enjoyment.

This woman, she’s truly bewitching!

Having finished drawing the talisman, he takes an empty bowl, pours half a bowl of water into it, burns the talisman, mixes the ashes in the water, stirring it until it turns into a bowl of dirty water.

“Here, Shui Yu, drink this bowl of water and not leave a single drop left.” Huang Xiaolong hands the bowl to Shui Yu.

“Don’t drink it! Shui Yu, if you drink this, you’ll definitely get food poisoning!” Cui Peng stands up and glares at Huang Xiaolong menacingly. “Honestly, I’ve had enough of you!”

“You shut up!” Xia Ying and Shui Yu lash out at Cui Peng almost simultaneously.

“Shui Yu, go ahead and drink. Just now, I sensed a very mysterious power emanating from the talisman Little Long drew.” Xia Ying solemnly assures her. “I believe that this power can remove the curse the malevolent ghost placed on you.”

“Mm!” Shui Yu also resolutely believes in Huang Xiaolong. She picks up the bowl, closes her eyes, suppresses the nauseating sensation, and tilts her head back to drink the ‘dirty water’, not leaving a single drop behind, just as Huang Xiaolong instructed.

After she finished drinking, Huang Xiaolong smiles and says, “Wait two minutes, you will feel like vomiting, but don’t worry, it’s a normal reaction.”

Two minutes later!

“Uggh~~~~~~!!!”

As expected, Shui Yu feels a churning in her stomach, unable to suppress the urge to vomit. Huang Xiaolong takes out a bowl he had prepared beforehand, holding it toward Shui Yu’s mouth.

Clang~~Clang~~Clang~~~

Something eerie happens.

Shui Yu actually vomits out some white spherical objects.

They look just like naphthalene mothballs, otherwise known as stinky balls.

She retched up a dozen or so, filling up an entire bowl before she stopped throwing up.

Xia Ying quickly stands up and gently pats Shui Yu’s back, helping her to get her breath back.

Huang Xiaolong holds up the bowl and observes the white balls inside. Every ball’s surface is emitting black resentful qi, appearing sinister.

“Little Long… what’s… what’s this?” Xia Ying stammers, “Why…why are there so many… creepy white balls… in Shui Yu’s stomach… it looks… so… disgusting…”

“Right, the ‘black birthmark’ on Shui Yu’s back has already faded away. You all can go to the restroom to check later. In other words, I have released her curse with my talisman.” Huang Xiaolong smiles faintly. “From now on, Shui Yu can live in peace till she’s old. She won’t die suddenly at 35 like the others in the Shui family.”

Huang Xiaolong takes another look, the “death mark” that seemed to be embedded in Shui Yu’s life palace, has completely vanished.

“Xia Ying, what do you think these look like?” Huang Xiaolong lets Xia Ying take a close look at the white spherical objects in the bowl.

“This… this… it makes me feel really uncomfortable… it somewhat resembles the mothballs we used at home when I was a child.” Xia Ying ponders as she muses, “Wait a minute! It also somewhat resembles insect eggs!”

“You guessed it.” Huang Xiaolong laughs, “These are the eggs of the ‘Ghost Bug’. Actually, the curse of the malevolent ghost that’s more than 200 years old is precisely the ‘Ghost Bug’ implanted in the Shui family members’ bodies when they were born…This thing survives on resentful qi. Once a Shui family member nears the age of 35, the ‘Ghost Bug’ fully matures and hatches… The ‘Ghost Bug’ torments the Shui family members for a while before it burrows into their bones and they end up dead.”

Huang Xiaolong paused for a moment, muttering, “This ghost is quite powerful.”

“Erm… Little Long, are you saying it’s more powerful than the cat-faced old lady?” Xia Ying anxiously asked.

“Yes. The cat-faced old lady is a ‘demonic ghost’. But the one who cursed the Shui Family is a ‘craft ghost’.” Huang Xiaolong explained with calm deliberation. “The so-called ‘craft ghosts’ are the ones who were well-versed in Taoist magic, witchcraft, Buddhist Law, and such techniques when they were alive. The Taoist ghosts, witch ghosts, Buddha ghosts…are collectively known as ‘craft ghosts’. The thing that makes ‘craft ghosts’ formidable is their proficiency in the techniques they learned when they were alive, and they use these techniques to harm people.”

“The powerful ghost who cursed the Shui family must have been skilled in raising Gu or witchcraft before they died. After death, it controlled the ‘ghostly Gu bugs’ to kill in silence. Ordinary Taoists and monks are no match for it at all.” Huang Xiaolong’s pupils contracted slightly. “Gu Masters and Wizards are very powerful when they’re alive, let alone when they turn into ghosts, let alone powerful ghosts.”

While speaking, Huang Xiaolong extended his right palm. Golden light spilled from his palm, enveloping the white spherical object in the bowl – the egg of the ghostly Gu bug.

A strange sound resonated.

This eerie sound sent shivers down one’s spine. It was reminiscent of the sound made when the Zerg creatures hatched in the video game “StarCraft”.

The next second!

The shells of the dozens of white spheres in the bowl fell off, and bugs began to crawl out from within!

Each bug, roughly as thick as an average person’s thumb, was white and squirmed incessantly, looking like maggots.

What was most horrifying was that a human face had sprouted on each bug’s head!

Yes, a human face! A face with hair, nose, eyes, and a mouth!

The eyes were bloodshot, and opening the mouth revealed a set of sharp, terrifying fangs!

“Ah, God! God! What kind of monster is this?!” Cui Peng was so scared that he immediately fell to the floor, incessantly making the sign of the cross with his trembling hand on his chest.

Xia Ying was creeped out. She quickly held onto Shui Yu, covered her eyes, and said tremulously, “Xiao Yu, don’t look! Don’t look! This is a ghost creature! It’s too disgusting!”

The dozens of ghostly Gu bugs simultaneously let out a spine-chilling cry, like a saw cutting through wood, and then, as if they had grown wings, lunged towards Huang Xiaolong. Their little mouths wide open, ready to bite Huang Xiaolong and grind him to pieces with their sharp teeth.

Huang Xiaolong casually released a palm thunder, eliminating the immature ghostly Gu bugs.

Blue smoke rose hissing into the air, as the ghostly bugs turned into ash.

“Alright, it’s taken care of.” Huang Xiaolong said with a relaxed smile. “These creatures are still several decades away from being fully mature, so their current killing potential is rather small.”

Pausing for a moment, Huang Xiaolong turned to Cui Peng. “Alright, now you get out of here.”

Having witnessed Huang Xiaolong’s miraculous abilities first-hand, Cui Peng felt a terrifying pressure in his soul when their eyes met. He dared not defy him. Like a disgraced dog, he scrambled and rolled out of the room in utter humiliation.

Just as Shui Yu was recovering from her shock, her phone rang and she answered the call.

As she was talking, Shui Yu began crying anxiously.

After she ended the call, Shui Yu rushed over and grabbed Huang Xiaolong’s hand. “Little Long! You must help me! My cousin, today is his 35th birthday… he…he’s on his last legs… please go check on him…I beg you!”

“Hmm…the ghostly Gu bug is about to eat into his bones. Okay, let’s go see him.” Huang Xiaolong didn’t refuse.

Huang Xiaolong was indeed very interested in the ‘craft ghost’ that cursed the Shui family!
