St. Teresa's Hospital, Internal Medicine, Ward 11, Bed 44. Ling Feng stood by the bed, looking at the patient with a complex expression.
Beside him was his girlfriend.
(PS: Uncle Ying's girlfriend is referred to as Yuan Dan. Her real name is not this, but I dare not use it, so please forgive me.)
Ling Feng had applied to get a chance to see him.
"Uncle Ying."
On the hospital bed, the emaciated Lin Zheng Ying looked at the stranger beside him and gave a mournful smile.
"Young man, I'm truly sorry to let you see me like this."
"You're my fan, right… Thank you very much for your support… If you want an autograph… I'm very sorry… my body won't allow me to anymore."
From Lin Zheng Ying's tone of voice, outsiders could tell how extremely weak he was.
Ling Feng's eyes welled up slightly, and he shook his head with a smile.
"No, I feel very honored to see you in person."
"The films you've made are very popular wherever they are."
"Everyone is waiting… for you to… make better films."
"Alas… it's impossible now… Entering this industry, I feel it's the thing I regret least in my life. The only regret I have in this life is not being able to make 'The Vampire Writer 3' for you all."
As he said this, Ling Feng noticed Lin Zheng Ying's expression become a little vacant and distracted.
Seeing this, Ling Feng looked at Uncle Ying's girlfriend.
"May I ask, what illness does Uncle Ying have?"
To be honest, he still didn't know what illness Uncle Ying had.
In his era, Uncle Ying had long since passed away, and he hadn't investigated some information.
However, judging by Uncle Ying's condition and the fact that he was in Internal Medicine, this illness was likely not to be underestimated.
"Late-stage liver cancer."
Ling Feng's pupils suddenly contracted.
It was liver cancer?!
And late-stage!
No wonder…
Even in his era, the possibility of curing late-stage liver cancer was extremely slim, let alone in this era.
Although there were many treatment methods, they could not guarantee successful treatment.
Fortunately, he had brought healing pills.
Although the healing pills were only three-star pills, their effects were better than four-star resurrection pills, with several additional functions. They could also be called all-purpose pills!
For treating illnesses, three-star healing pills were more than sufficient!
[Ding! The first stage of the wish mission is complete. Special reward, two-star healing pills, have been issued.
The second stage, "Treatment": Please use the healing pills to treat the wish recipient completely. Rewards: permanent spirit-connecting willow leaves, a bone-cleansing pill, 1 point of merit, 200 points of wish power.]
The system prompt that suddenly sounded in his mind made Ling Feng's spirit liven up.
Indeed, if the system issued any mission, there would definitely be a way to complete it.
If he hadn't brought healing pills, the system's two-star healing pills would also be able to help Uncle Ying recover.
It would only be a matter of time.
"Hoo…"
Ling Feng took a deep breath and took out a three-star healing pill from his pocket.
"This is a pill refined with a secret family recipe. It can cure all diseases. How about… trying it for Uncle Ying?"
Yuan Dan, who was standing beside him, was first stunned, then a little angry.
"He's already like this, and we don't even know how long he has left to live."
"The origin of this medicine is unknown. If it's ineffective, what if it has the opposite effect!"
"I'm sorry, you're not welcome here anymore, please leave."
Ling Feng did not retort and walked towards the door. He had actually anticipated this scene.
From her perspective, she didn't know him, and the pill's origin was unknown. Who knew if it would worsen his condition or even kill him directly.
So anyone would be as angry as she was; it was human nature.
However, Ling Feng would not give up just like that. He already had a plan in mind.
He would find a doctor's uniform and secretly give him the medicine.
"Wait… I want to try."
Suddenly, Uncle Ying's weak voice reached Ling Feng's ears.
Ling Feng turned around in disbelief.
When Yuan Dan heard Uncle Ying say that, she was about to say something, but Uncle Ying reached out, held her hand, and shook his head.
Yuan Dan's eyes were complex, and she turned her head away.
Uncle Ying smiled when he saw this and said to Ling Feng.
"Young man, I believe you. Give me the pill."
"But… aren't you worried about this…"
"I'm not worried. I know my own body. I'm going to die sooner or later anyway, so why not give it a try and believe in… a miracle."
When Ling Feng heard this, he glanced at Yuan Dan. She turned her head to look at the whitewashed wall, not looking at them, which clearly indicated her feelings.
"Okay."
Ling Feng slowly walked to Uncle Ying's bedside and gave him the pill.
Uncle Ying was also very cooperative.
Soon, the healing pill was swallowed by Uncle Ying.
Hearing the movement behind him, Yuan Dan covered her nose and mouth, her body trembling slightly, as if she were crying.
Ling Feng also looked at Uncle Ying nervously, constantly monitoring his condition.
After a few seconds, Uncle Ying, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.
Immediately, his expression changed drastically. From being haggard and weak, he became energetic and spirited!
"This medicine…"
Feeling his originally weak bodily functions recovering at an extremely fast rate, strength surging within him.
Uncle Ying looked at Ling Feng in disbelief.
Ling Feng smiled and shook his head. Judging by Uncle Ying's condition, the healing pill was working.
Uncle Ying smiled knowingly, said nothing more, looked at his girlfriend behind him, and patted her with a smile.
"I'm fine now."
Yuan Dan, who had been secretly crying, immediately turned her head upon hearing Uncle Ying's full-of-energy voice.
Seeing that Uncle Ying was not only fine but also in unexpectedly good spirits.
He had actually recovered!
Her face was filled with astonishment.
"Ying, are you really okay now?"
"I'm fine, I've never felt so energetic."
Uncle Ying smiled slightly.
"Thank you, I shouldn't have doubted you earlier."
Yuan Dan quickly apologized to Ling Feng.
Ling Feng waved his hand. He hadn't taken this matter to heart. He was actually very happy that Uncle Ying was well.
Although this Uncle Ying was not the Uncle Ying from his time, at least he had saved this Uncle Ying in this era.
"Dan, could you go out for a bit? I want to chat with him."
Yuan Dan nodded and left the ward, standing outside. She also closed the door, giving Ling Feng and Uncle Ying a quiet space to talk.
"Thank you, young man. May I ask your name?"
Uncle Ying asked tentatively. Someone with such miraculous medicine must have an unusual identity.
Ling Feng thought for a moment and smiled, saying.
"My name is Ling Feng."
"Ling Feng, huh? I'll remember it. To be honest, I still can't believe my body has recovered."
"The world is vast and full of wonders."
"Yes, the world is vast and full of wonders…"
[Ding! The second stage of the wish mission is complete. Rewards have been issued.
The third stage, "Teaching": Please impart the true Maoshan Taoist magic to Lin Zheng Ying. (Reminder: Danger at night!)
Rewards: A protective jade amulet (can block three attacks from supernatural creatures), a Five Thunders Vanquishing Ghost Talisman, and two hundred wish power points.]
Damn it!
This third stage requires me to teach Uncle Ying real Taoist magic?
But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is the system's reminder – danger at night.
The system would never ask him to teach Uncle Ying Maoshan Taoist magic for no reason.
And it even added a reminder.
Could it be a warning that if Uncle Ying stayed in the hospital at night, something might happen!
"Uncle Ying, I actually suggest that you check out of the hospital today."
Ling Feng's expression suddenly became serious. System reminders usually concerned his progression.
"What's wrong?"
Ling Feng's expression suddenly changed. He hadn't quite reacted.
"The world is vast and full of wonders. This… you should recognize it."
Ling Feng took out the spirit-connecting willow leaf he had just received as a reward from the system from his pocket.
"Is this… a willow leaf? No, the luster feels wrong… Could it be!"
He had filmed so many supernatural-themed films; how could he not recognize what Ling Feng was holding.
Willow leaves are generally used to open the celestial eye for people without the yin-yang eye.
The difference was that the willow leaf in Ling Feng's hand was completely different from his props. The luster was different, and the feel was different.
Combined with Ling Feng's previous words.
This willow leaf might truly have the effect of opening the celestial eye and connecting with spirits.
As mentioned before, the world is vast and full of wonders.
He had deliberately gone to the mountains to learn about supernatural phenomena when he was filming ghost movies.
He had always believed that ghosts existed in the world.
He remembered that when he was filming the "Red and White Fiends" scene in "Mr. Vampire 3," some supernatural phenomena had occurred.
"Uncle Ying, you should know what this is now, right? Yes, this is a spirit-connecting willow leaf. If you don't believe me, you can try it."
"Try it?"
"That's right. I have heavy yin energy by nature. You should be able to tell once you open your celestial eye."
Saying this, Ling Feng handed the spirit-connecting willow leaf to Uncle Ying, who was sitting on the hospital bed.
Uncle Ying took it and, with a skeptical attitude, used the willow leaf according to the method he knew.
As the spirit-connecting willow leaf brushed past his eyes, he suddenly felt an indescribable sensation in his eyes.
When he opened his eyes and looked at Ling Feng, he was startled.
In his vision, Ling Feng was enveloped in swirling black mist, but this black mist hadn't been there before.
This was real!
Uncle Ying's belief that ghosts existed in the world was now completely confirmed.
Since this was real, he seemed to understand a little of what Ling Feng had said earlier.
Ling Feng asked him to leave before dark, which meant this hospital might be problematic!
"Uncle Ying, do you have paper and a pen?"
"Yes, I do."
Uncle Ying first returned the willow leaf to Ling Feng, then took out a pile of paper and a pen from a nearby drawer.
"Very good."
Ling Feng's eyes lit up with joy. He took them, picked up a stool, and sat by the bedside table, writing and drawing.
Uncle Ying looked at Ling Feng with curiosity, not understanding what he was writing.
But his view was blocked, so he couldn't see.
One minute later.
Ling Feng picked up three sheets of paper and handed them to Uncle Ying. At the same time, he also handed over the bone-cleansing pill rewarded by the system.
Uncle Ying took them and looked at what was written on the paper, dumbfounded.
"《Maoshan Arts Heart Method》, Exorcism Talisman, Ghost Suppressing Talisman, and Bone-Cleansing Pill?!"
Could these on the paper be real?
As if sensing Uncle Ying's thoughts, Ling Feng nodded and said.
"These are all real. I am imparting these things to you today, Uncle Ying, because I need your help…"
