Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 187 Miraculous Doctor (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to Everyone)
Sun family!

"Isn't that Sun Miao's family? I heard him complain before that his grandfather refused to teach him the Iron Sand Palm."

Xiao Ran looked carefully at the palm print, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became. Based on his understanding of corpses, if the power of this slap hit him, he would probably be in great danger.

"Master...Master, you just heard that there was a commotion in the martial arts world. Could something have happened?"

Xiao Ran turned around and asked carefully.

"Well, there's some bad news coming from the south. I shouldn't have told you about this, but now..."

The Grandmaster seemed to realize that he had said too much when he was halfway through his speech. He paused for a moment and then said, "I'm quite busy right now, and I'm afraid you'll get involved without knowing the consequences. I know that you have a good relationship with the children of the Zhou, Yang, Zhao, and Sun families, but if they join forces in the future to deal with someone, you can't get involved."

Xiao Ran's eyelids jumped, and he stared at the master in front of him. He seemed to have the answer in his mind, but he still asked knowingly: "Who is it? Who can let these families join forces to deal with it?"

The Grandmaster shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. I can't say. I've only heard some rumors. I don't know whether they are true or not. You are not allowed to get involved."

The master obviously didn't want Xiao Ran to get involved. After giving him a serious reminder, he finished the food in the bowl and put it back in the basket: "Remember to feed the old cow grass when you go back, so you don't have to deliver food to me at night."

"Ah, don't you need to come in the evening?"

"No, I have some dry food here, and I'll go back when I'm done with this."

Seeing his master's firm attitude, Xiao Ran could only nod to show that he understood.

After leaving the charity cemetery, Xiao Ran pondered over what his master meant along the way: "Is it true that Li Jingqi is coming, as Aunt Yang said?"

"But why??"

I saw in Shangniao Lingzi’s memory before that everyone was obviously helping Li Jingqi. Why after so many years, they suddenly turned their spearheads and pointed them directly at Li Jingqi?

"And the murals in the mountain temple, could it be that they are about Li Jingqi? If it is really Li Jingqi, then what is the golden egg that he left for the mountain god and now fell into his head?"

A series of questions emerged in Xiao Ran's mind.

I walked in a daze like this, and when I looked up again, I realized that I was so busy thinking about these things that I didn't know where I was.

Then he looked up, not knowing where he was walking to, and he saw a temple in the distance.

The temple was quite large, and occasionally one could see people coming in and out.

It didn't seem far away and I had nothing else to do, so I just walked over to take a look.

When I got closer, I saw three words written on the gate of the small temple: "Chenghuang Temple".

"Oh, it's here!"

When Xiao Ran saw the words "Chenghuang Temple", he knew where he was.

In the old city of Los Angeles, just a few steps inside the Lijing Gate, you will find the City God Temple. In reality, this place was occupied by a high school and turned into a school. Later, when the road was repaired, a part of the temple in the middle was demolished.

In the end, all that was preserved was a rear hall and a stele archway at the front door, and nothing else was left.

It's funny to say, later on, Los Angeles vigorously developed tourism and built antique buildings everywhere. They wanted to rebuild them but couldn't meet all the conditions, so they could only build a weird house with hanging lights, lanterns and other messy things behind the archway.

Not only the City God Temple, but also the old royal palace on Jiudu Road were demolished due to road construction.

According to the people at that time, these ancient buildings were built to make way for urban construction. However, when they looked back decades later, they realized that they were short-sighted and had demolished their own signs.

At present, this City God Temple is intact. The archway in front of the door has carved beams and painted buildings. Although the colors have faded, it still gives people a glimpse of the prosperity of the past.

"Well... it's just right. Now that I'm here, I can go in and burn some incense for the City God and talk about the Mountain God. This will also be considered as fulfilling the Mountain God's request."

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran stepped inside.

There is no such thing as tickets these days.

When Xiao Ran walked into the front hall, he saw two Yaksha-shaped figures enshrined on both sides of the hall. Behind them sat a clay statue of a god. The statue was complete, wearing golden armor and holding a sword at its waist. It was the famous general Yue Fei.

In fact, there is not only a statue of Yue Fei behind the statue, but also another statue of Guan Gong.

So this hall is also called Yiyong Hall. Xiao Ran remembered that there was another street behind it, which was named after this street, called Yiyong Street.

Beside Yue Fei there are two spiritual officials, one who remembers good and the other who remembers evil, who look like little ghosts.

After looking around, Xiao Ran continued walking down. Outside the temple gate was the theater courtyard. Some village cadres held activities, or some opera troupes often performed here. There were century-old pine and cypress trees planted on both sides, which were bigger and straighter than those in Guanlin Temple. Unfortunately, they could not be seen when they returned to reality.

After Xiao Ran sighed in his heart, he turned around and walked towards the main hall.

In the main hall, the City God was sitting on a chair with an expressionless face. It seemed that no one came to take care of this place often. Apart from a few offerings on the table, there were only three incense sticks that had not yet burned out.

I guess it was left by someone who just left.

I looked around and there was no one around.

Xiao Ran straightened his body, took out Huang Xiang from the space and lit it. As a ghost messenger in the mortal world, the City God was his immediate superior. Although he didn't really believe in it in his heart, he still had to show respect on the surface because of his status.

After lighting the incense and candles, Xiao Ran said, "My Lord, the City God, I have something to report..."

Xiao Ran roughly told the story of the Mountain God, then looked up at the City God in front of him. Seeing that the clay sculpture had not changed much, he thought, "Anyway, I have told you what I want to say. Whether you can hear it or not is none of my business."

Then he bowed, turned around and was about to walk out.

But the moment he turned around, he suddenly shivered uncontrollably all over, with goose bumps all over his body. He stood up, without moving, but lowered his head and looked back.

In the temple, the City God seemed to be staring at him. He was clearly a clay sculpture, but now he seemed to have inexplicably added a bit of majesty, which made Xiao Ran feel a little uneasy.

At the moment, he could only turn around and clasp his hands carefully: "Does the City God have any other instructions?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a cry coming from a distance.

The crying was very miserable. Xiao Ran put his hands down and looked back. A young woman was running with a baby in her arms, crying. She entered the hall and knelt on the ground without caring that Xiao Ran, a stranger, was present.

"God of the City, please open your eyes. This is the only child left in our family for three generations. Please have mercy on us and save this child."

Seeing this, Xiao Ran turned around and wanted to leave. This matter had nothing to do with him. Although he had a kind heart, he didn't want to be a good person randomly.

But just as he was about to leave, the horrifying feeling of oppression came over him again. Xiao Ran froze, turned his head to look at the City God, then looked at the crying young woman, and thought to himself, "Oh, you really don't have anyone under your command? Whoever you catch will you use?"

He grumbled in his heart, but seeing that the City God clearly wanted him to help, he thought for a moment and turned to the woman and said, "Sister, what happened to your child?"

As Xiao Ran said this, she glanced at the child in her arms.

The child's face was as pale as gold paper, his eyes and mouth were all yellow, and his body kept twitching as if he had a high fever.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but frown: "This is jaundice!"

The woman was startled when she heard this, and looked up at Xiao Ran. She grabbed Xiao Ran's clothes as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw and asked, "Can you cure it?"

"It's not difficult!"

Xiao Ran nodded. This was not a serious illness. He had the [Twenty-eight Acupuncture Methods] specifically for treating blood stasis. Jaundice was not a difficult disease for him to treat.

Seeing that Xiao Ran was not very old, but his words revealed a sense of confidence, although the woman was suspicious, she could not care less at this time and immediately pushed the child in front of Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran took the child, held the child on the table next to him, undressed the child, and took out a few silver needles.

Then, the doctor inserted acupuncture points into the child's Gallbladder Shu, Yanglingquan, Yinlingquan and Zhiyang acupoints.

Then acupuncture was performed at Pishu and Sanyinjiao.

After a while, the child stopped twitching. The woman was overjoyed when she saw this. She held the child's hand and called him twice, but the child did not move. Instead, his head tilted...

died!

　I had a reunion dinner with my family today, and I have another dinner party in the evening. I will not update today. I also hope that everyone can spend more time with their families. I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
