Chapter 61: Lying in front of the Great Sage Master?
Another half month passed in the blink of an eye.
Su Che, who originally had free time, became busy again. Zhang Bozu's medical skills were superb. It was impossible for him to be the teacher of the Medical Saint without any skills. Under his careful teaching, Su Che's knowledge gradually turned from theory into practice.
Since Su Che didn't know how to break the impasse for the time being, it would always be a good idea for him to learn some medical skills. After all, it would be unreasonable to imitate the Medical Saint in his life without learning medical skills.
It is hard to go out with Zhang Bozu to see patients every day, but I feel a sense of accomplishment when I see the grateful faces of those whose illnesses are cured.
On this day, Su Che, as usual, followed Zhang Bozu to see a doctor.
After a whole morning of bumpy ride on an ox cart, they finally reached their destination, but Zhang Bozu was refused entry by the family. They gave him fifty cents as a reward and asked him to return the same way he came.
Zhang Bozu asked angrily, "I'm here for a follow-up visit. I don't have to charge you, but you should at least let me see the patient first, right? Why are you blocking me at the door?"
The family said, "Your medical skills are useless. It hasn't healed in ten days or half a month. We asked the gods, and they said the disease is not in our bodies, but is caused by evil spirits. We have invited a witch to perform a ritual. From now on, we pray day and night, and the disease will be cured."
"How ridiculous!" Zhang Bozu was furious. "It's useless to treat the symptoms of this disease. It will keep coming back. The key is to treat the root cause. It needs to be slowly recuperated. It will take more time to recover. You can't see any results, so you invite some wizards over? This is simply nonsense!"
“Let me in!”
Having said this, Zhang Bozu pushed the man aside and was about to rush in.
"Ah, you can't go in. You must not disturb the wizard, otherwise the gods will punish us and we can't bear it!" The man tried to stop him in panic, but he couldn't stop the stubborn Zhang Bozu .
Su Che followed behind and entered the mansion together.
In the backyard, a group of people gathered outside. On the bed inside was a thin man, who was the patient of the family, Chi Yufu.
Next to the patient, there was a witch who was about 40 or 50 years old, with a plump figure and a wooden sword in her hand. She first lit three incense sticks, then set up two red candles, and then began the ritual.
Because they lack professional knowledge of scams and don't know how to make up slogans, they can only mumble some weird words that others can't understand.
After dancing like a shaman for half a day, the witch was so tired that she was out of breath.
Seeing that it was almost done, the witch cried out: "God is selfless, the Immortal Emperor will help me to kill the evil spirit!"
After saying that, she swung the wooden sword in her hand and stabbed the paper figure on the table.
When the sword was stabbed, the paper figure turned out to be like a real person, with blood stains appearing on it.
This scene stunned the onlookers, and they all believed in the witch's magic.
Even Zhang Bozu, who had just arrived here, was stunned and frowned as he watched this strange scene.
"Okay, the evil spirit has been killed, and he will definitely recover in the future." The witch touched the sweat on her forehead and said coldly.
"Thank you, thank you so much." The onlookers immediately surrounded him, looking grateful and crying.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Bozu frowned. It's not like he had never heard of immortals and gods. He knew that there were indeed evil spirits in this world. But the problem was that the man in front of him was definitely a liar. He didn't have any spiritual charm at all. It was purely a trick to deceive people. But the problem was... how could he convince everyone?
Ever since witchcraft and medicine separated, the two professions have been at odds with each other.
Doctors believed that witches were all scammers. There were countless deaths caused by witchcraft. Even after killing so many witches, they still could not eradicate these scammers who harmed people.
The wizards believed that doctors were blocking their financial path and were their mortal enemies in business, so when they were cheating, they would do everything they could to discredit the doctors.
At this moment, before Zhang Bozu stepped out, the witch noticed his presence. She immediately frowned, jumped up, and pointed her wooden sword at Zhang Bozu: "What bad luck! Where did this doctor come from? Get him out of here quickly!!"
When the people around saw that it was Zhang Bozu, they also knew that he was highly respected. They frowned and hesitated: "This is Master Zhang..."
"Master Zhang and Master Li, just a doctor, who let him in? What bad luck! He disturbed the ceremony. I was wondering why the ceremony was so difficult. Fortunately, it succeeded. Otherwise, it would be the doctor's fault. He affected the progress of the ceremony. You are all responsible!" The witch said angrily , "Why don't you let him out! Do you want to be punished by the gods?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the people around him changed immediately. They looked at Zhang Bozu, apologized for their crimes, and wanted to drive him out.
Zhang Bozu's face was extremely ugly. He said angrily, "You can't tell right from wrong, and you don't know what's good for you. Do you really want to listen to this evil man's slander? Do you believe in this witchcraft? It's all a scam!"
This further offended the witch. She was so angry that she jumped up again. Just as she was about to curse, someone beside her said in panic, "Alive?"
"The wizard is alive again!!"
The witch frowned at the man after hearing this and said impatiently, "What do you mean he's alive again? Why can't you speak clearly? Get this doctor out first!!"
"The evil spirit you just killed has come back to life again!" The people next to her hurriedly ran behind the witch and asked her to stand in front of her.
"Ah? How is that possible?" The witch was stunned. As a liar, no one knew better than her how this trick deceived people. The paper man was made of a large amount of turmeric, which was soaked in water to dye the paper in advance. Then she took out the alkaline noodles that were always available at home, made alkaline water, and applied it to the wooden sword.
In this way, a stab of the knife into the turmeric paper will create a bloody mark.
How could he really come back alive?
She subconsciously turned her head, only to see the paper man with a pierced chest on the table standing up tremblingly, then jumping over!
The witch screamed and waved the weapon in her hand wildly, trying to stop the paper man from coming. But the paper man was very flexible. It stepped on the witch's arm and jumped forward, then went directly into the witch's mouth and drilled in with great force!
This scene stunned everyone, and the witch was so anxious that tears came out of her eyes. The paper man was like a slippery loach and it slipped into her stomach in an instant.
The witch held her throat desperately, trying to spit out the paper figure, but after vomiting for a long time and feeling dizzy, she still couldn't spit out the paper figure.
This magical scene greatly amazed Zhang Bozu. He said, "There may be evil spirits, but you are a liar and have no ability at all. If you provoke the evil spirits, they will come to you! Hurry up and prepare for your funeral!"
Seeing Zhang Bozu so calm, the witch immediately bowed down and kowtowed, "Sir, help me! Save my life!"
"May the best for you!" Zhang Bozu shook his head. He didn't know what was going on. Even if he knew, he would not save this liar.
At this moment, Su Che, who was standing behind Zhang Bozu, had a playful expression on his face. Playing these deceptive tricks in front of the Great Sage Master was even more ridiculous than showing off one's skills in front of an expert!
