"Don't look at me, " Jiu said."Just think about it, none of us can get out of this if we fail."
He initially thought Sen would be their best chance to take revenge on Wang Yao. However, Sen ended up in the police station. He didn't even walk into the station. An ambulance took him there because he was badly injured.
"Maybe we should try again?" a young man asked with uncertainty.
"Try again? Who's gonna go?" Jiu asked.
None of them spoke. Sen was their best shot. If Sen couldn't get the job done, none of them could. They were not sure if any of them would get out of the village alive. Their opponent was a Kung Fu master, a well-prepared Kung Fu master. All of them looked down like frightened emus.
Jiu sighed. All of his men were useless at this crucial moment, including himself.
"Jiu, I think we should tell Nan the truth, " one of his men said."We can't stay here in limbo. We don't have a chance to beat that guy. Sen is still in the police station. Shall we get him out first?"
"I agree, " another man said.
"Well, do you all agree with this idea?" Jiu asked.
"Yes, " his men said.
"Fine. I'll call Nan now, " Jiu said.
He took a deep breath and walked up and down in the room before calling Nan.
"Nan, I have to tell you bad news. Sen has been caught by the police." Jiu looked nervously, as if Nan was right next to him and he had just gotten the news.
"What happened?" As expected, Nan was anxious on the other end of the phone.
It cost a lot to hire Sen, a well-known assassin. Sen had solved a lot of problems for him and his team through the years. He didn't care how many years Sen was going to serve or whether Sen would get a death penalty. The point was Sen knew too much. He didn't want Sen to mention him and his gangster fellows to the police. It would be a disaster for him.
"I just got the news that Sen failed, " Jiu said.
"Damn it!" Nan cursed."Find out exactly what happened and try to get Sen out of the police station."
"You think we can get him out?" Jiu asked."Nan, it was attempted murder."
"I know!" Nan hung up.
"Did you hear what Nan said?" Jiu asked.
Everyone shook their heads.
"Nan wants us to get Sen out of the police station, " Jiu said.
"Are you kidding?" a young gangster asked."He was caught by police officers, and it was attempted murder. He still had a gun in his hand when he was caught. He's definitely gonna get a heavy sentence. Do you want us to break into the police station? That's suicidal!"
"Let's think about it, " Jiu said.
He knew Nan didn't really want them to break into the police station. He was just upset. He would definitely send people to help them. He had lawyers on his team. Things like this should be left in the capable hands of a professional.
Wang Yao was preparing the nurturing soup.
Ginseng, wolfberry, solomon seal, gordon enryale seed, ganoderma, licorice...
Apart from the herbs from Wang Yao's herbal field on Nanshan Hill, part of the herbs were wild and purchased from Li Maoshuang, who always provided him the best wild herbs.
Wang Yao grabbed a handful of herbs and divided them into small piles. He was not going to brew the herbs into decoctions. Instead, he was going to crush and mix the herbs into powders.
The herbal granule from the hospitals or chemists were all processed. Unprocessed herbs wouldn't dissolve in the water so fast.
Wang Yao had some knowledge of the modern techniques used for making herbal granule or pills. The majority of manufacturers used chemicals and biological techniques to make herbal medications. Technology was dominating the pharmaceutical companies. Although advanced technology benefited the world significantly, herbal medication lost some components during processing. Therefore, the processed herbal medication was not as effective as unprocessed ones.
For example, the nurturing soup made by Wang Yao would be more effective than the nurturing soup made in a machine.
Wang Yao would try his best to use the old-fashioned method to make the herbal granule. He had discussed it with Zhen Weijun.
Knock! Knock! Knock! He heard someone urgently knocking at the door.
"Come in please!" Wang Yao called toward the entrance from the room. His voice traveled all the way to the door and into the visitor's ears.
The door was pushed open. Two people came in. They held onto each other because they couldn't walk properly.
Hmm? Wang Yao could tell the two men were not normal before they entered the clinic due to their smell. They smelled weird The smell was very unpleasant.
Ahem! Ahem! Ahem!
"Hello, Dr. Wang, sorry to bother you again, " one of the men said.
"It's you, " Wang Yao said.
He was surprised to see him. In fact, he had met him before. The person was Miao Sanding, a Feng Shui master. Next to him was a man in his 30s.
They both looked terrible. They had a horrible green and black color on their faces. Even the whites of their eyes had turned green. Their hair was extremely dry. They were both short of breath.
They were wearing long-sleeve, thick clothes in the middle of July, the hottest time of the year. They were also wearing thermal underwear. It was as if they just came back from the South Pole.
Wang Yao sensed a weird aura in both of them. It was abnormally strong Yin energy. All of his meridians ran smoothly. He could freely release his Qi to communicate with the world. Therefore, he was very sensitive to any Qi.
"What happened to you?" he asked.
"My younger brother and I were having a look at a graveyard for a family, and we saw an ancient tomb. We went inside to have a look out of curiosity but ended up having big trouble, " Miao Sanding said.
"Ancient tomb?" Wang Yao asked.
"Yes, an ancient tomb with something inside, " Miao Sanding said.
"Ghosts?" Wang Yao asked.
"You could say that, " Miao Sanding said."I didn't feel right after coming out of the tomb. I almost died twice. I went to Wutai Mountain to try to fix it, but that Buddha master was not there. So, I came here."
He couldn't think of an alternative. He and his younger brother didn't expect this would happen to them at all. Perhaps they were destined to encounter it. No one could know what evil souls existed in that tomb. If there wasn't a temple next to the tomb to attract a lot of visitors and the monks in the temple were more than a bunch of people who only ate vegetables and read scriptures, Miao Sanding and his younger brother would probably have died three days after getting out of the tomb.
He had come across similar situations and knew how to deal with it. So, he and his younger brother went to Wutai Mountain to see a highly skilled old monk. He had seen the old monk before for similar matters. However, the old monk was away. Miao Sanding didn't know where he had gone or when he would come back. He was suddenly lost.
He couldn't wait at Wutai Mountain. He suddenly thought about Wang Yao, who saved someone he couldn't save. He thought he should probably inform his family to prepare for a funeral for him and his younger brother if Wang Yao couldn't save them.
"Evil souls?" Wang Yao was curious about it.
He had come across people with similar conditions and could feel the unique aura in Miao Sanding and his younger brother. Their aura was very different to his other patients.
"Let me try, " Wang Yao said.
He started to release his Qi. He had done breathing exercises based on Taoism, so his Qi was pure and mild. He was able to control his Qi freely. His Qi had become part of him, like his arms. Of course, it was invisible.
Under Wang Yao's control, his Qi came next to Miao Sanding and his younger brother. Two completely different Qi met. The Yin energy was disappearing rapidly, like snowflakes being exposed under the sun.
Miao Sanding and his younger brother could feel the change inside their body. Since they got out of the ancient tomb, they felt cold inside out no matter how many clothes they were wearing. The coldness went straight into their bones and organs and gradually got worse. The feeling didn't stop until Wang Yao pushed his palm toward them. The coldness inside them was fading away. They immediately felt warmer and more comfortable.
