Chapter 757: Whose Dynasty Never Ends? (Third Update)
"Yes! If he doesn't save him, we'll flay and dismember him and toss him to the wolves in the back mountain... Those wolves in the back mountain, they don't care who you are, they leave nothing behind, bones and skin included!"
"This brat is too arrogant! Slandering with blood on his lips! Xinxin, don't be fooled by him! How could we possibly not want Grandpa Bai to live! Grandpa Bai is old now, and his illness is beyond medical healing! He's deceiving you!"
"That's right, Xinxin, come over here!"
Bai Xinxin was wholeheartedly focused on her Grandpa Bai's condition; who would she believe?
She only knew one thing: whoever could save her grandpa, that'd be the one she believed!
Right at that moment.
Fang Yu squinted his eyes, touched her forehead, and said, "Xinxin, there's nothing I can't do except save people. With so many of you here, do you think I would deceive anyone? Besides, if it's as they say, and Grandpa Bai is beyond help, how would trying a dead man's cure on him be any harm?"
Bai Xinxin nodded her head and said with full hope, "Brother Yu, can you really save my grandpa?"
"Of course, I can save him... The condition is, they cannot stop me, they must not intervene!"
Upon hearing this.
Bai Xinxin calmed her emotions, and her tears stopped as she said, "Really! If you can save my grandpa, I'll do anything! If they're unwilling to pick the twin lotuses for you, I'll do it, I know where they are!"
"Good! You're so obedient!" Fang Yu patted her forehead again.
The dialogue between the two was seen by the surrounding people, all seething with anger yet helpless.
Bai Xinxin was young and easy to deceive, after all, she had never interacted with people from outside the village. Therefore, Fang Yu's behavior infuriated the villagers.
Following that...
Fang Yu's gaze fell upon everyone, sweeping over them, and he said indifferently:
"Do you think threatening me is going to work?"
"My medical skill varies with my mood... I said Old Bai can be cured, so he definitely can be. You threaten me like this, are you not afraid that I won't be able to cure him?"
The crowd was skeptical, as if they believed he could cure anything.
Fang Yu then said:
"Also, don't think I'd be afraid of you... Killing God Bai Qi, Old Bai, let alone you folks, even if Emperor Qin Shi Huang himself were to appear, it would be to no avail!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Bai Qi's eyes flashed with a murderous intent, which was typical of the Killing God, and he said with a cold voice, "Audacious!"
Fang Yu was fearless and said:
"Thousands of years have passed... They buried you, burned the books, buried the scholars..."
His voice deepened as he spoke aloud, "Destroyed names and cities, killed heroes; gathered weapons from everywhere under heaven at Xianyang, melted them down, cast them into twelve metal sculptures to weaken the people's will. Then they tread Huaxia underfoot as if it were clay, made rivers into moats, occupied a hundred-yard-high city, overlooking an immeasurable abyss, for fortification!"
This was the Disquisitions on Qin from the high school Chinese textbook!
It clearly delineated the merits and demerits of Emperor Qin Shi Huang.
Bai Qi's face went pale, rage burning within him.
However, Fang Yu didn't care at all and continued, "Merits and faults will be judged by later generations... Now, a thousand years later, Emperor Qin might be your Emperor Qin, but he is not our Emperor Qin! Emperor Qin's tyranny, his harshness more fearsome than tigers, building the Great Wall in the north, exhausting the people and draining the wealth... Cries of misery filled the roads, sorrowful cries covered the fields! In the end, the tyrannical Emperor Qin faced the consequences of his own actions, and his dynasty fell!"
"You're spouting nonsense! Shut your mouth! How could the great achievements of Emperor Qin possibly!" Even the usually composed Bai Qi couldn't help roaring at this point.
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and said:
"You've lived in the Secret Realm for far too long, utterly oblivious to the changes in the outside world... If you don't believe me, I can give you some history books to peruse! If you still don't believe it, Bai Qi, you can follow me out and see for yourself! Your so-called great achievements, under whose rule they now lie! The Nine Provinces of Huaxia, the vast world, under whose feet!"
Bai Qi was stunned.
Speechless for a moment.
The place, too, was engulfed in silence.
They were all descendants of the Bai Family.
The family that had once followed Emperor Qin with utmost loyalty.
But they hadn't expected to be trapped in the Secret Realm, surviving for thousands of years.
Many of the younger generations of the Bai Family knew their mission, yet were unaware... that the outside world had long been changing continuously.
Times change, people change.
Whose dynasty never falls?
Whose era never fades?
"Stop arguing! Let him treat the patient! Old Bai is already in a state of delirium, without treatment... sigh!" said the old doctor angrily, throwing up his hands in frustration.
People were vehement in their words, but who didn't want Old Bai to continue living?
Bai Qi stepped aside, yielding the way.
Fang Yu's gaze landed on the bedridden Old Bai.
With a slight smile, he walked over.
Fang Yu remained calm and patient, sitting beside the bed, pulling over the old man's withered arm, taking his pulse, diagnosing...
With his eyes half-closed, the pulse was feeble, and so was the breath.
Following that, Fang Yu also checked the elder's eyes, tongue...
The entire process took only a few minutes.
Fang Yu stood up and said, "When I brought Bai Xinxin back just now, I saw a Blood-red Tree on the way. Someone go and gather the leaves and fruits of the Blood-red Tree!"
"I'll go!"
A Bai Family junior, accompanied by two youngsters, hurried off.
"Is the Blood-red Tree useful?" The elderly doctor asked with a face full of doubt.
"It's only for replenishing Qi and blood..." Fang Yu said indifferently, "The real cure requires more than just the Blood-red Tree... Alas, it's a pity I'm not very familiar with the things here, but I know there must be lots of Heavenly Treasures that would make treating Elder Bai much easier. But there's no time now to learn about the local Medicinal Grass... I'll have to use my old method!"
Whoosh!
Several Golden Needles suddenly appeared in Fang Yu's hand, glinting with golden light.
"Acupuncture!!" The elder's eyes lit up.
"Indeed. It's Acupuncture!"
As he spoke.
Fang Yu's other hand flipped and lifted.
"Dan Zhong!"
Swoosh!
Golden Needle up, Golden Needle down.
"Tian Hai!"
"Bu Rong!"
"Purple Palace!"
Four Golden Needles descended.
Humming sound resonated.
Fang Yu looked around and said in a deep voice, "Those not involved, leave now. Elder Bai needs plenty of air to be replenished!"
Fortunately, the Spiritual Energy here was so abundant, that when Fang Yu performed the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles, he felt no pressure at all.
Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles, known for snatching life back from the hands of Ghost Messengers!
The elderly doctor watched, utterly dumbfounded. Hearing his request, he said, "Everyone out!"
"Yes!"
In a moment.
Only Bai Qi, Bai Xinxin, and the elderly doctor were left in the room.
Fang Yu wasn't afraid of them seeing, so he just carried on with the procedure.
Swoosh!
Three more Golden Needles appeared in his hand.
"These three needles are extremely dangerous; no matter what happens, you all better not move! Remember, remember!"
Worried that Xinxin was too anxious, Bai Qi put his hand on her shoulder to signal, "Xinxin, don't worry!"
Fang Yu's eyes turned fierce.
Swoosh, swoosh swoosh...
Three Golden Needles rose with a stream of purple qi.
"Vast Righteous Energy, Purple Qi Comes from the East!"
"Hua Gai!"
"Xuanji!"
"Zhong Ting!"
Hum.
Humming.
The Golden Needles trembled violently!
