There is a trick

Chapter 133: Curing Diseases
"The epidemic qi condensed into a red thread, which wrapped around the man's body. The Spring Plague Ghost fell in love with the man because of the red thread.

If one could find the red string on the man's body and tie it to someone else, the Spring Plague Ghost would fall in love with someone else.

In this way, we can angrily denounce the spring plague ghost for being fickle and fickle, and not a good person.

The spring plague ghost will hide its face and go away, never to harass anyone again."

The Great Heart Elixir Sutra provided Zhou Chang with all kinds of key information, which could be said to be without reservation.

At the end of the intelligence chapter on the "Spring Plague Ghost" it listed, there was even a signature: "This article is from Ji Shan's "Epidemic Ghost Chapter."

——The information about the spring plague ghost comes from the "Epidemic Ghost Chapter" written by a man named Ji Shanzhi.

Today, perhaps this "Epidemic Ghost Chapter" has become an integral part of the "Dapin Xindan Sutra".

Or perhaps Ji Shanzhi's idea is an integral part of the "Dapin Xindan Sutra".

Zhou Chang paid some attention to the title of the book, and then turned to ask the "Dapin Xindan Jing": "How to find the red thread of epidemic qi wrapped around other people?"

The Dapin Xindan Jing simply arranged four words: "It's not written in the book."

"..."

“Who is Ji Shanzhi?

What did he do?" Zhou Chang asked again, trying to find other clues from Ji Shanzhi's life.

"Ji Shanzhi, a mysterious Taoist immortal.

He is good at medicine, especially treating plague ghosts. He wrote two books, "Plague Ghosts" and "Plague God's Ancient Qi".

The information listed in the "Dapin Xindan Jing" is very brief, which shows that although this "Ji Shanzhi" has certain achievements, he should not be regarded as a brilliant and prominent figure.

Zhou Chang then tried to request to read the chapter "The Ancient Qi of the God of Plague" from the "Dapin Xindan Sutra", but this chapter was not included in the collection of this sutra.

There are no other clues to be found here.

Therefore, Zhou Chang made it quiet for a while, and looked again at the group of strange women standing densely behind Xiao Zhenming and the other two.

These spring plague ghosts with disheveled hair and coarse clothes are now standing there in a daze.

And they just stood there silently, which was already very weird and creepy.

Xiao Zhenming had said before that he occasionally turned his head inadvertently and found that these spring plague ghosts were communicating with each other with malicious eyes - although Zhou Chang had not seen such a scene, he felt cold just thinking about it.

“These women must have strange means to cause you and others to have violent mood swings, which are very different from usual.

So when you see them, you often behave inappropriately.

However, if you lose your temper and attack them, you will be the only one who gets hurt in the end." Zhou Chang spoke slowly, warning Xiao Zhenming and others.

He was still thinking in his mind, how to discover the "red line of epidemic" on several people?
Maybe in a while, my family members may pass by the deserted village called Fig, and will be targeted by these spring plague ghosts. If we can find a way to discover the "epidemic red line" now, my family members will have less trouble in the future.

Therefore, getting rid of these spring plague ghosts following Xiao Zhenming and the other two is also paving the way for their own family.

Zhou Chang felt that Ji Shanzhi did not explain in "The Epidemic Ghost Chapter" how to find the 'red line of epidemic gas' wrapped around other people, probably not for the purpose of keeping something to himself. After all, he wrote down all the tips on dealing with the spring plague ghost in this chapter. If he wanted to keep something to himself, he might as well not write a word.

The more critical reason may be Ji Shanzhi's momentary negligence.

Perhaps they thought that discovering the "epidemic red line" was something that could be done easily, and subconsciously overlooked writing this point in the book.

The so-called "darkness under the lamp" is often like this.

The reason why Ji Shanzhi felt that discovering the red line of the epidemic was a piece of cake might be related to his expertise in medicine and his identity as a doctor.

A doctor is proficient in certain things in his daily life and can do them easily.

But for non-medical professionals, these things actually have a very high threshold.

So……

"What does a doctor do in his daily diagnosis?" Zhou Chang murmured.

Yang Rui, who was standing next to him, felt strange when he heard his words, but he answered as a matter of course: "Of course it's 'look, listen, ask, feel'."

Yang Rui was good at some basic medical skills, and he had even taken Zhou Chang's pulse.

"Observe, smell, ask and palpate?" Zhou Chang's eyes lit up.

"Observing his complexion is called "looking", listening to his voice is called "hearing", asking about his symptoms is called "asking", and feeling his pulse is called "feeling", Yang Rui explained further.

"Ok!"

Zhou Chang nodded. He had an idea in mind, so he asked Xiao Zhenming to stretch out his wrist and said to Yang Rui, "Grandpa, please feel his pulse to see if there is anything wrong with it." "He is possessed by a ghost. What can you tell from feeling his pulse?" Yang Rui asked with a smile.

"This method may be useful." Zhou Chang said, "If this method is useful, then I'm afraid we will have to learn how to take the pulse simply on our own during the rest of our journey."

Now trapped here, Zhou Chang has not yet found out the true situation of the ghost den, but he has already encountered two strange things, the 'relics of the plague god' and the 'spring plague ghost'. Both strange things are related to 'plague' and 'disease'.

It seems that these ghosts and monsters may be related to "disease".

In this case, if you are sick and there is no doctor around, you will need to learn some basic methods of diagnosis and treatment.

'Taking a pulse' may become a skill that everyone must learn in the future.

Yang Rui didn't ask any more questions. He followed Zhou Chang's instructions, found an empty space to sit down, asked Xiao Zhenming and the other two to sit opposite him, and took the pulse of each of them one by one.

——Just as Zhou Chang guessed, when Yang Rui placed his fingers on Xiao Zhenming's pulse, his brows suddenly frowned and he immediately discovered some unusual clues!
Seeing Yang Rui's expression, Xiao Zhenming spoke a few words: "Brothers of the same path——"

Yang Rui stopped him with his eyes and swallowed the next words back into his stomach.

Yang Rui was taking Xiao Zhenming's pulse, but his eyes were scanning Xiao Zhenming's body, as if Xiao Zhenming was contaminated by some invisible strange thing.

After a while, he asked Shidanzi to bring a stick of incense and absorb the incense smoke to observe the world of Xiangqi.

After absorbing the incense, Yang Rui really discovered something: "There is a red thread on this person!
If you don't take his pulse first and find out the distinctive disease pulse in his pulse, you won't be able to find this 'disease red line'!"

Yang Rui checked the pulse of Xiao Zhenming's teacher again and again, and found the "red line of epidemic" from these two people!
"If we cut off this sick red thread, those weird women will stop harassing the three of them?" Yang Rui guessed Zhou Chang's intention at this time. He looked at the spring plague ghosts standing behind the three of them, turned to Zhou Chang and asked.

Zhou Chang shook his head: "It can't be cut off easily. Untie these red threads from them and wrap them around me."

Among all the people present, he was the only one who was filled with evil energy and karmic fire. Even if the epidemic worsened, he could still burn it with the karmic fire.

The red thread of the epidemic will only wrap around him for a while, but nothing serious will happen.

The "exorcism" step after untying the red string is the most critical.

"If the red thread is tied around you, won't these weird women keep their eyes on you?" Yang Rui frowned.

Xiao Zhenming and three others were worried. They hoped to get rid of their pains, but they also felt guilty about transferring their pains to Zhou Chang, a fellow practitioner with whom they had never met before.

They felt bad, which was exactly what Zhou Chang wanted.

If they want to feel at ease, Zhou Chang will definitely not help them anymore.

Zhou Chang smiled and said, "I have a way to drive away these spring plague ghosts."

"Do you know that these strange women are actually called 'Spring Plague Ghosts'?" Yang Rui's frown gradually relaxed. He diagnosed people's pulses under the guidance of Zhou Chang. Now that Zhou Chang pointed out the real names of these strange creatures, he gradually came to believe that this junior really had the means to drive away the Spring Plague Ghosts.

"After observing for a while and having you, my great grandfather, verify it, we have now confirmed that these ghosts are the spring plague ghosts.

I also came across this ghost's information in a book by chance." Zhou Chang didn't explain everything.

He explained everything clearly, showing that he was completely confident. Then, rescuing Xiao Zhenming and the others seemed to be a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. However, it was impossible for the three of them to be very grateful to Zhou Chang.

"What kind of book could record all the news about strange things?" Yang Rui muttered a few words.

In the end, he said nothing more. He followed Zhou Chang's instructions and wrapped the red thread of the epidemic on Xiao Zhenming's body around Zhou Chang.

More than a dozen strange women standing in the darkness twisted their heads slightly, making rustling noises.

The black hair that blocked their faces was blown away a little by the wind, revealing their faces.

Their faces are ugly and weird, with pairs of completely black eyes in their big eye sockets.

The dry lips were filled with tiny spikes as scattered as shark teeth.

The dozen or so women stared at Zhou Chang.

Intense admiration actually welled up in those dark eyes!
At this time, these spring plague ghosts lined up and walked towards Zhou Chang, probably to ask Zhou Chang whether he wanted to go back to live with them in the deserted village - and Xiao Zhenming, whom they had previously loved madly and pursued across mountains and rivers, was now completely ignored in their eyes and was abandoned by them.

"Husband, why are you here?"

"Come home with me, my husband, back to Fig Village, our common home..."

The first spring plague ghost walked up to Zhou Chang, looked at him with his black eyes full of love, and spoke softly.

Then, the second, the third... a total of twelve spring plague ghosts gathered around.

They were all talking at the same time, saying the same words. Looking at their same expressions and listening to their same words, it made one feel a chill in the heart!

Zhou Chang smiled and said, "Don't you have any sense of shame?
The oaths made to the predecessors can now be easily broken just because of meeting a new person?!"
