Ultimate Village Doctor

Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Two: Mountain Demon

Long Xiaoshan did not make a sound and kept grasping Long Shiyu's arm tightly.

Furthermore, the True Qi within his body surged forth even more violently.

Long Shiyu struggled more and more frantically.

Her originally delicate face suddenly revealed a horrifyingly fierce expression, her eyes gleaming green like ghostly flames, as she fiercely lunged at Long Xiaoshan with the intent to bite.

This scene frightened Jin Lian, who stood aside, so much that she nearly collapsed to the ground.

"Evil spirit, dare to harm others!"

Long Xiaoshan bellowed, like thunder shaking the windows till they trembled.

At the same time, he took out a Talisman and slapped it onto Long Shiyu's body.

Bang!

The Talisman turned into a flash of blue light.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Screech—

A shrill and gloomy scream emerged from within Long Shiyu, and at the same time, a ghastly face resembling both a monkey and an infant appeared on her face, with two particularly large, green eyes that occupied a third of the face.

Jin Lian saw her daughter transform into this.

With a scream, she fainted completely.

"Evil spirit, get out of here!"

Long Xiaoshan kept pressing points on Long Shiyu's body while inserting a needle into Long Shiyu's forehead and swiftly slapping several more Talismans onto her.

Under Long Xiaoshan's relentless attack,

a creature resembling an infant, but with only one foot, leaped out from Long Shiyu's body.

It screeched, extending its sharp claws towards Long Xiaoshan.

Long Xiaoshan remained unperturbed.

Despite the creature's repulsive appearance and dreadful presence, he was not afraid. Full of courage, he kept on shouting and released a Fireball Talisman, Boom!

The fire exploded!

The creature screamed.

It fled out the window, engulfed in black smoke.

Long Xiaoshan wanted to chase after it, but seeing Long Shiyu fall straight down, her breath faint and her face as pale as paper, he realized something was wrong and had to stop the pursuit.

The creature had been hit by his Fireball Talisman.

It must have been severely injured and fled. For the time being, there was no need to worry about it returning to harm others.

Stay tuned with mvl

First, he went over to Jin Lian and injected a stream of True Qi to wake her up.

Then he picked up Long Shiyu and laid her on the bed.

Once Jin Lian woke up, she was still frightened and seeing Long Shiyu lying motionless on the bed, her breath weak, she asked anxiously, "Little Xiaoshan, what exactly happened just now?"

As Long Xiaoshan inserted needles into Long Shiyu, he explained, "Auntie, don't panic. That thing just now is called a Mountain Demon, a type of mountain ghost. The reason little Yu became mentally impaired after turning six wasn't due to a high fever but because she was possessed by this Mountain Demon. I checked just now, and little Yu has a Pure Yin constitution, which is the type most coveted by these ghosts. The Mountain Demon possessed her to absorb the Pure Yin energy from her body for its cultivation."

Ah~~

Jin Lian appeared shocked and terrified.

Villagers are generally superstitious.

Having just seen the Mountain Demon's face with her own eyes reinforced this belief.

Therefore, Jin Lian completely believed what Long Xiaoshan had said.

"What should we do now? Is little Yu alright?" asked Jin Lian fearfully.

"Auntie, don't worry, I've driven away the Mountain Demon, and it won't be causing trouble for a while. Little Yu's current condition is due to the severe depletion of Pure Yin energy absorbed by the Mountain Demon. Rest assured, I can help her recover,"

"That's wonderful," Jin Lian said as she wiped away her tears. "Little Xiaoshan, you must save Little Yu; she has been unfortunate since she was a child."

"Auntie, certainly, don't worry."

Long Xiaoshan continuously inserted needles into Long Shiyu and utilized his True Qi to strengthen and nourish her foundation.

Finally, he stabilized Long Shiyu's condition.

He said, "Auntie, I need to go and prepare some medicine now, please look after Little Yu here."

"Ah, Xiaoshan, what if the Mountain Demon comes back?" Jin Lian said worriedly.

"It's been badly injured and shouldn't be able to return, but it's still good to be cautious." Long Xiaoshan took out several talismans, placing one on Long Shiyu, and handed the rest to Jin Lian, saying, "This one is a Vajra Talisman, and the others are Fireball Talismans. If that creature dares to come back, just throw a Fireball Talisman at it and shout the command 'Lin'. It's very simple."

Jin Lian understood vaguely, but holding the talismans, she felt somewhat relieved.

In her heart, she thought that if the Mountain Demon dared to return, she would fight to the death to protect her daughter.

Long Xiaoshan quickly left the house.

Even though it was already pitch dark outside.

However, Long Shiyu's condition was not good; without the replenishment of an item of Pure Yin, she would continue to weaken and die. Fortunately, he knew of a prescription that could replenish Yin energy but still required Pure Yin Herbs as the key ingredient.

Long Xiaoshan hurried to the Back Mountain.

On his last visit, he had collected many herbs, noting that this area was abundant with them. Moreover, Back Mountain connected to many large mountains and dense jungles. Deep in the mountains, there were many terrifying legends and few human traces.

Long Xiaoshan was incredibly bold.

He was not afraid of those so-called ghost stories.

To find Pure Yin Herbs, naturally, one would have to look in places with fewer people, where Yin energy was stronger.

He searched the mountain, going deeper in.

He found many useful herbs and gathered them. Soon, he reached the depths of Back Mountain at Guanyin Cave, the very place where he once found the Jade Purifying Bottle. This spot was said to be the boundary in local folklore.

The villagers all said

that one should only go as far as Guanyin Cave on Back Mountain, and going further meant you wouldn't be able to return.

Moreover, there were indeed such cases where people from the village went missing inside.

However, as Long Xiaoshan arrived at this point, he had found plenty of other herbs, except for Pure Yin Herbs. With his Spirit Eye, no herb could escape his sight, so he was certain there were no Pure Yin Herbs outside.

That left him with only one option: to go deeper inside.

Long Xiaoshan hesitated for a moment; the taboo legends still had an impact on him.

But he quickly laughed it off; he was no ordinary man. With his many skills and techniques at his disposal, was he truly to be deterred by some old tales, to be timid and hesitant? That would be laughable.

He was not one to shy away from things, and furthermore, he had a strong curiosity to test and see if those legends were true.

This might just be a man's adventurous spirit.

Making up his mind, Long Xiaoshan began to step through Guanyin Cave, heading deeper in.

Just a short distance past Guanyin Cave, standing on a mound, his gaze narrowed and he paused, looking around, his face gradually showing a hint of shock.

He had studied the secret techniques of feng shui from the Black Scale Gate and understood feng shui well, immediately noticing that the deep parts of Back Mountain had a powerful feng shui formation, one that was completely beyond his comprehension.

It had exceeded the feng shui formations described in the Black Scale Gate's book.

Even the leaked energy was enough to alarm Long Xiaoshan.

Moreover, it was evident from the formation that it affected Longyang Village.

Long Xiaoshan suddenly realized

why Longyang Village had weak male energy and why the men often encountered misfortunes. The influence of such a feng shui formation surely prevented the men's vigor from thriving, as their Yang energy was constantly being siphoned.

Long Xiaoshan looked back at Guanyin Cave.

His face was marked with deep contemplation.
