Seven Strings in Dreams

Chapter 144: Life for life

If it were someone else, they might have been shaken. But Zhuji Protector has always been principled. He never likes to make promises easily.

Coral Protector's unreasonable and unreasonable approach was completely useless to him.

There were too many people seeking medical treatment over the years, most of whom were the kind that made people sympathize with them, but Zhu Ji would not save every one of them. He had to learn to refuse cruelly.

Some people are already at the end of their strength when they come to him. Since the time has come, it is time to leave. Why force it?

Sometimes hanging a dying person is not the person's own wish, but the dying person's relatives and friends cannot accept this cruel fact.

Learning to say no is a skill that a doctor must have.

Being a doctor is very offensive to people. Sometimes it is wrong to treat a patient, and it is also wrong not to treat the patient.

Doctors have no fewer enemies than practitioners.

If the doctor's own cultivation is average, he must have a life-saving skill. They usually recruit some masters to serve them.

Zhuji also has some experts around him, all arranged by Monk. Zhuji doesn't like to care about the secular world, but he is Monk's most trusted doctor, and his life is very precious.

Zhuji: "You have to know that no one has ever tried the method you mentioned. If you are not careful, your life will be in danger."

Shanhu: "Brother, I beg you, please help me this time"

Coral had never begged anyone in such a humble manner before, and Zhuji had never known that Coral would be so irrational.

Given their relationship, if Zhu Ji could do it, how could he not help as a doctor?

No matter what Elder Jiayu's identity is, he is Zhuji's patient at the moment. Since he is already Zhuji's patient, why should she hide the fact that she can save him?

Others might have other ideas and might have to think about it. After all, Jiayu was still considered an elder of the Holy Mountain.

The elders of the Holy Mountain and the minions of the Holy Temple were the Saint's accomplices. Even if they were forced to do so, given their identities, it was impossible for them to be so clean after so many years. They must have helped the Saint do some shameful things.

Even if this is not pointed out, everyone knows it.

Maybe Jiayu and Geluo had some tricks up their sleeves during the mission, or even played against the rules. But they still had to do something, more or less.

What's more, there are some things they don't even know what they are doing.

Sometimes they just help deliver a letter or transport something.

In these simple tasks, they seemed not to hurt anyone, but things were definitely not that simple.

Almost all the people in the Holy Mountain are chess pieces of the Holy Lady, but some of them have already been involved in the game and have no choice.

Some people never have the chance to join the game from the beginning to the end, and they may not even have the chance to be a discarded pawn.

Those who are already in the game can only jump on the small chessboard.

Although Jiayu and Gelu had no choice, their identities were there, so even if they could not be harmed, they still had to be on guard against the Holy Temple behind them.

These things should be left to smart people like Linlang to consider. Zhuji Guardian doesn't care about the so-called identity.

But Zhuji is not a pushover. He will not save everyone. His medicinal materials are not blown by the wind. Even if he wants to practice medicine to save people, he must know how to distinguish right from wrong.

What's the point of saving those wicked and murderous people?

But Zhuji wouldn't think too much about people like Elder Jiayu.

Zhuji doesn't care about the relationship between Elder Jiayu and Protector Coral, nor does she mind his past with High Priest Monk.

Zhuji only knew that the elder Jiayu he saw was a man worthy of respect. Zhuji believed in seeing more than rumors.

Maybe Zhuji didn't handle the relationship between men and women properly, but he could tell whether a person was good or evil.

Zhu Ji can accept what Amber Guardian does because Amber Guardian really cares about Zhu Ji and Amber Guardian can really help Zhu Ji.

No matter how Amber Guardian treats others, she is sincere to Zhuji. Unfortunately, she is too clever and scheming, but she still can't get the answer she wants.

Zhu Ji had never been moved, and Amber Protector was indeed infatuated with the wrong person.

Zhuji had been treating patients and saving lives these days, and he hardly had any rest. Sometimes when he was really sleepy, he would sit down and meditate to adjust himself.

These days, Zhu Ji is reading medical books in addition to seeing patients, treating illnesses, refining medicine and making elixirs.

But he could never find a way to cure Elder Jiayu.

Elder Jiayu’s injuries were mainly caused by the curse. If the curse could be lifted earlier, perhaps Elder Jiayu’s legs could be saved.

If Elder Jiayu's legs were simply crushed or chopped off, Zhuji would have a way to solve the problem.

But Elder Jiayu’s current situation is not that simple, and it may require finding a real witch doctor to solve it.

Zhuji knew a little about witchcraft and spells, but only a rough understanding.

Everyone's definition of knowing a little may be slightly different.

Some people say they have a little understanding of something, but they may have only heard of it or have a superficial knowledge of it.

When Meng Xianyu said she had a basic understanding, it meant she was more than 50% sure, which meant she would not make a fool of herself, but she was just not very good at it. She was not a professional and could not compare. There was also some humility in her words.

After all, humility is the tradition of the Huaxia people in Meng Xianyu's hometown.

Of course, not only in Huaxia, but also in every dimension, there are very low-key and humble people, including some who pretend to be pigs and eat tigers.

Zhuji: "Don't worry, there may be other ways."

Although Zhuji has not found a solution yet, he is not a person who gives up easily. Instead of wasting time here, it is better to go back and continue to look through medical books, maybe he can find a more suitable solution.

Coral: “But…”

Zhuji: "You don't have to say anything more."

Zhuji lost his patience, he was not good at solving these problems. He didn't mean to do it, but he just didn't want to see Shanhu looking so useless.

This was totally not the Shanhu he knew. Zhuji couldn't understand why a man became like this.

What's more, they are uncle and nephew, but now Shanhu's feelings for Elder Jiayu go beyond what an uncle and nephew should have, and seem to be mixed with many inappropriate emotions.

Zhuji couldn't understand, and didn't know how to explain it. He was afraid that he had misunderstood. He could only try to avoid Shanhu first.

Zhu Ji is not in a hurry to go back now. He wants to go and see those people who just came back. Maybe he can get some inspiration from them.

Zhuji found a very good reason for himself. But he didn't want to go back, the biggest reason was that he knew in his heart that there was someone waiting for him, but he didn't want to see that person for the time being.

Zhuji left, and Shanhu's tears fell without making any effort.

Shanhu wanted to save Elder Jiayu by exchanging one life for another. Zhuji had known this method for a long time, but unfortunately no one had ever succeeded.

If they failed, not only would they not be able to save Elder Jiayu, they would also have to sacrifice Shanhu's life.

Zhuji is a doctor, and saving lives is what he should do. He cannot do something like exchanging one life for another.

What's more, in Zhuji's eyes, Shanhu's life is far more important than Elder Jiayu.

Shanhu kept saying that it was Jiayu who raised her and that she owed Elder Jiayu her life.

Even if this is true, Zhuji can't do it.

The method that Coral described is an ancient legend and there is no way to verify it.

Even if it is really possible, Zhuji can't do it with her ability.

If Elder Jiayu knew the truth, he would definitely not agree.

Zhu Ji now not only has to worry about Elder Jiayu's injuries, but also about Shanhu.

Zhu Ji didn’t know if he was too sensitive, he always felt that Shanhu had changed.

Everyone in the world wants to live, but she seems to be determined to die.

Zhu Ji didn't want to delve into the feelings behind it, and he was too lazy to understand it.

Zhuji wanted to go to the guardian Linlang to discuss things, but Linlang was too busy, and Zhuji couldn't find Linlang. He went to see those who had just returned and got some information from them. Then he went back to make medicine.

After Zhuji left, Coral just stood there in a daze.

Wu Na coughed twice, and Coral came back to her senses.

Shanhu turned around and saw Wu Na, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Wu Na nodded, then stepped forward and helped Shanhu up.

The two sat down in the pavilion, and for a moment, Wu Na didn't know how to start.

Coral: "What's up?"

Wu Na: "Well, I want to ask you, how is Xianyu? When can she come back?"

Wu Na wanted to ask many questions, but she could see that Coral was in a low mood, so she could only ask the questions that concerned her most.

Shanhu: "Miss Meng is fine. She is protecting the High Priest. Don't worry. Once the High Priest has recovered a little, they will be able to come back."

Wu Na: "Okay, I understand. I see you are tired too, why don't I take care of you and let you go back and rest."

Coral: "I'm not tired. Did you come to see me on purpose?"

Wu Na: "I came out to see if the master's medicine is ready."

Coral: "Then let's go together"

Coral just wants to be busy. She doesn't want to be alone because she'll start to have wild thoughts.

Shanhu and Wu Na were not very familiar with each other. They were both cautious about each other and did not dare to ask some questions.

Coral: "What are your plans next?"

Wu Na: "Me? I don't know."

Wu Na didn't know why Coral Guardian suddenly asked this question, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Coral: "Have you ever thought about whether to stay or leave?"

Wu Na: “I will leave”

Coral’s question was too direct, so Wu Na had no choice but to tell her the truth.

After all, there were only two choices, either stay or leave. If there was a third way, maybe Wu Na would really consider it, but now there were only two options, so there was no need to worry about it.

Another reason was that Meng Xianyu would also leave at that time, and Wu Na wanted to leave with her. Wu Na didn't want to leave the villa, but wanted to leave Shuangling Island.

This was something Coral had not expected.
