A Shaman Doctor’s Live Diagnosis Stream! 24p1

Chapter 24 Part 1

Fan Xuan was so impressed he wanted to give this guy a “6” (internet slang for impressive or awesome).

Wu Heng, on the other side of the screen, was also speechless. This fellow practitioner was the epitome of someone who valued money as much as their life.

Ultimately, a life was more valuable than two thousand yuan. Although they were inwardly criticizing Chen Zhao relentlessly, Fan Xuan and Mr. Zhou bravely entered the ward.

Fan Tu stood at the doorway, her brow furrowed, hesitant. Mr. Zhou quickly said, “Tu Tu, don’t come in.”

Fan Tu was afraid of spiders.

Having personally experienced bizarre incidents, and with Wu Heng guiding them remotely, Fan Xuan and Zhou Mingze were slightly braver than the doctors and family members who were encountering this for the first time.

Fighting their fear, the two men carefully approached Chen Zhao. Spiderwebs floated in the small space, recoiling rapidly upon contact with their skin, as if electrocuted.

As they cleared the webs, besides Chen Zhao still stuck to the wall, Fan Xuan and Zhou Mingze wondered, where was the patient?

A scream suddenly came from behind them. Fan Tu yelled, “The… the ceiling…”

Fan Xuan and Zhou Mingze instinctively looked up and saw the female patient hanging upside down from the overhead light, her eyes wide as saucers, a sinister look on her face.

Everyone present almost fainted from fright! How did she even get up there?!

[Oh my god, I dropped my phone.]
[So that’s where the patient was, secretly observing from the ceiling! I have goosebumps.]
[I heard that everything caught in a spiderweb is food. Does the patient want to eat that poor guy?]
[Sob sob sob, why so many strange illnesses lately? I need to go to the temple and pray for safety.]
[Does the streamer sell protective talismans? This is too scary.]

“Mom, snap out of it! Come down!” The patient’s family member, standing at the door, shouted at the woman on the ceiling, their face pale with fright.

Wu Heng, still sitting calmly at the consultation table in Chengde Medical Clinic, explained, “She’s entranced, shouting won’t work.”

Seeing that Fan Xuan and Zhou Mingze were pale with fear, Wu Heng encouraged them, “Don’t be afraid of her, rescue Fellow Daoist Chen first.”

Fan Xuan and Zhou Mingze steeled their nerves and rushed towards Chen Zhao, each grabbing an arm and pulling him off the wall.

Chen Zhao spat out spider silk, then swiftly snatched the mosquito repellent ointment from Fan Xuan’s left pocket, skillfully applying a thin layer of the pale green substance, then pocketing the box.

“Oops, used a bit too much.”

Chen Zhao’s heart ached, that was all money! Too extravagant, far too extravagant!

Without hesitation, he kicked off the wall, executing a graceful mid-air leap towards the patient on the ceiling. The patient, smelling the herbal scent on his fingertips, instinctively recoiled. But Chen Zhao wasn’t about to let her escape.

He grabbed her wrist with one hand, then, with his other ointment-covered hand, pressed his fingers against her face, drawing a talisman.

The sinister look in the patient’s eyes gradually faded into confusion, her body going limp. Chen Zhao pulled her down from the ceiling and tossed her onto the bed.

Everyone was still in shock, unable to process what had just happened. Wu Heng, thousands of miles away, was the key to resolving this incident!

This wasn’t just a shaman doctor, this was a divine doctor!

Done!

Chen Zhao smugly looked around at the stunned crowd, impressed by his awesomeness, weren’t they?

Wu Heng said, “Return the mosquito repellent to Fan Xuan.”

Chen Zhao: “…”

Fan Xuan, snapping out of his daze, checked his pocket and exclaimed, “Hey, you just used it and pocketed it without paying?”

Not only did he not pay, he even wanted to keep the container!

Chen Zhao touched his nose awkwardly, tossed the container back to Fan Xuan, and said righteously, “I’m just used to pocketing things when entering a room!”

Everyone: “…”

Fan Xuan was slightly annoyed. His sister was practically the spokesperson for Wu Heng’s mosquito repellent. After this incident, people wanting to buy the ointment would be lining up from his house to Beijing. Getting another box wouldn’t be easy.

“How much for what you just used?”

Chen Zhao scoffed. “I used it with my own skills, why should I pay?”

These people couldn’t squeeze a single cent out of him.

Zhou Mingze realized for the first time that he could also misjudge people. He had only seen the young man’s righteous aura, overlooking his stinginess.

Fan Tu and Fan Xuan didn’t bother arguing with him further, their earlier anger dissipating.

“Doctor Chen, Doctor Wu, can you tell us what’s wrong with my mother?” the family member anxiously interrupted.

Their world was collapsing!

The ward was full of spiderwebs, the spider demon’s lair in Journey to the West was nothing compared to this.

Chen Zhao, unable to give a proper diagnosis, simply used a technical term: “Possessed.”

This was what his master had taught him. When in doubt, maintain an air of mystery, the more mysterious, the more believable it was to ordinary people.

Chen Zhao rubbed his bruised elbow, already turning blue from when the patient bumped into him earlier.

His eyes suddenly lit up. He quickly took a photo of his elbow with his phone, photoshopped it to look more gruesome, and sent it to his master.

[BrightAsTheSun: Master, does this count as a work-related injury? Can I get compensation? [picture] I even swallowed some spider silk.]

[OldManYan: Even I wouldn’t dare to think like that.]

Chen Zhao fell silent. He knew it.

“Possessed” was too broad a term, not very helpful.

This was the difference between a shaman doctor and a Taoist priest. A doctor had to be responsible and clearly explain the illness to the patient and their family.

Wu Heng explained, “She is indeed possessed, but more specifically, did she sneak into an abandoned manor and dig up some flowers and plants to keep as potted plants at home?”

The family member’s face flushed with embarrassment, stammering, unsure how to answer. Their mother was good in every way, except for her habit of petty theft.

She had snuck into an abandoned manor before. Although the manor was abandoned and had nothing valuable, the flowers and plants inside were thriving, and their mother, loving flowers, wanted to transplant some, so she climbed over the wall.

Wu Heng continued, “So the spiders inside were protecting their home, their defensive behavior is understandable, right?”

This world wasn’t as peaceful as one might imagine. A single malicious thought, tainted by Yin qi, could be amplified infinitely, ultimately causing harm.

The family members were speechless. It seemed understandable, but they hadn’t expected it to be this serious. They shouldn’t have gone to that abandoned manor!

[See? Heaven is watching, don’t do anything sneaky.]
[This lady is bold, daring to go to an abandoned manor, not afraid of encountering ghosts?]
[So there are ghosts in that manor? Yin qi? Where is it? I need to avoid that place.]

Fan Tu, listening from the side, felt something was amiss. “Isn’t that the place my asshole ex-boyfriend and I went to before?”

Her asshole ex-boyfriend dug up the Beauty’s Dimple seeds there, and this lady also went there to dig up plants and was attacked by spiders?

The same place?

Wu Heng nodded. He felt there was something strange about that place. Even his calculations couldn’t fully grasp the abandoned manor’s secrets, perhaps because he hadn’t been in this world long enough and his shamanic power wasn’t strong enough yet.

The family member quickly said, “I’m sorry, it was my mother’s fault, and I wasn’t strict enough with her. We’ll definitely keep a closer eye on her and make sure she doesn’t steal anything again, I guarantee it!”

They were truly terrified recently. Their mother secreting spider silk from her belly button, how was that normal? They were afraid she would be taken away for experiments.

Wu Heng nodded, accepting the family member’s guarantee. “That mosquito repellent ointment is made from herbs and is water-soluble. Dissolve an appropriate amount in water and have her drink it for three days. She’ll expel all the spider silk.”

Chen Zhao’s expression shifted. He should have tried some earlier, what a loss.

The family member nodded repeatedly. “Thank you, Doctor Wu, we’ll buy a jar from you now, and after things settle down, we’ll definitely send you a gift during your live stream.”

Wu Heng nodded. He wasn’t worried about patients not paying their dues.

[If that scene earlier wasn’t so terrifying, I would suspect this was all a setup to promote Wu Heng’s mosquito repellent.]
[Don’t say that, the more you talk, the more I want to buy it. When will the product link be available? I’m ready!]
[Fifty percent off for the first batch? Even if I can’t get the discount, I’ll buy it at full price. This thing saves lives! I’d rather die than become a spider demon, that’s disgusting.]
[+1, release it soon!]

Chen Zhao felt Wu Heng looking at him. He took two steps back, clutching his wooden sword, his back straight, and asked warily, “Why are you looking at me? I have no money.”

Chen Zhao remembered that he had been rescued thanks to Wu Heng’s mosquito repellent ointment; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy.

He… he wouldn’t be asking him to split the consultation fee, would he?
