Medical Sovereign - Chapter 469

Chapter 469 Close to Tao
Breaking off Yoshiko’s hands, Ding Ning picked up Yagyuu Asamayu and placed her flat on an airy place on the roadside, and made her fall into suspended animation with a serious look.

Unable to care about the taboo between a man and a woman, he tore open her clothes and planted lots of silver needles into her snowy white skin. In the blink of an eye, she became a “hedgehog”.

These silver needles vibrated with a buzz of their own accord, and a mysterious Spiritual Energy fluctuation was formed between the silver needles, building a bridge of life. Gradually, Yagyuu Asamayu’s pale face had a tinge of red color.

Ding Ning was pleased. This was the first time he had used the Rune Doctrine and the Matrix Doctrine on acupuncture treatment since he learned the two doctrines and practiced them numerous times in his mind, but this method worked miraculously well.

All things on earth reinforce and restrain one another, but can also reach the same goal by different means. The Needle Matrix he had just developed, which was based on the Matrix Doctrine foundation, was as amazing as the Rune Doctrine though they had different principles, and could induce the vitality and the spiritual aura between heaven and earth to recover the vigor and health of the human body.

This kind of enlightenment gave him a new understanding of the Tao of Medicine. No wonder Shennong’s guess on the highest realm of the Tao of Medicine had been recorded in the medical book Compendium of Vegetation: Nothing in the world was unusable; wind, thunder, rain, and dew all could be made into prescriptions, and grass, wood, gold, and stone all could be used as medicines.

That was to say, all things in the world could be used as medicines. Even a stone, a breeze, a dew… could be used to make prescriptions.

Of course, this was only a guess on the ideal state of the highest realm of the Tao of Medicine, but it had no proof. Yet, Shennong was still the person who had been closest to the peak of the Tao of Medicine in the human world. Since he had made such a deduction, that could never be a groundless rumor.

Although Ding Ning did not turn up his nose at these words, he treated them with doubt and criticism. “This is a joke. Can a handful of useless grass and a breeze casually gathered be made into medicines? Is this a way used to fool an idiot?”

But now, after having developed the Needle Doctrine by referring to the Matrix Doctrine and the Rune Doctrine, he then felt that what Shennong had said was not unreal. Perhaps, a piece of grass, a stone, and a dew might not have medical values, but it was not necessarily impossible for one who had a sufficiently deep understanding of the power of heaven and earth to work miracles.

He recalled a few words that he could not remember who said, but they left him an extremely deep impression and shared the same meaning as the words “Persistent practice. That’s all.” in an ancient Chinese article The Old Man Selling Oil. These words were: No matter what industry one was in, as long as one could reach the highest level of it through study and research, that was close to Tao.

The cultivating of martial arts that reached the extremes was called Tao of Martial Arts. The studying of the tea ceremony that reached the extremes was called Tao of the Tea Ceremony. Then, why could not the studying of the cooking skill that reached the extremes be called Tao of the Cooking Skill? Why could not the practicing of calligraphy that reached the extremes be called Tao of Calligraphy? Why could not the singing of songs that reached the extremes be called Tao of the Voice? Why could not the playing of musical instruments that reached the extremes be called Tao of Music? In addition, drawing, carving, architecture and other industries all could enter the realm of Tao.

Ding Ning fell into enlightenment instantly and asked himself in his mind repetitively, “What is the Tao?”

He could not help beginning to draw something with his hands. Again and again, he drew elusive symbols, which he himself could not even understand.

The heavy-duty truck driver was a more than 40-year-old man. When he saw Ding Ning draw something in the air over the female corpse like being haunted, he even thought that he had come cross a madman.

But then he widened his eyes in shock. With a loud cry “Ghost”, he rolled his eyes and passed out in fear.

A wisp of milk-white air like smoke and fog, which was hovering at his fingertips, brought the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth into the body of Yagyuu Asamayu constantly, forming a milk-white halo around her. Then, the sternum that had caved in rose and went in place at a speed visible to the naked eye, the skin covered with blue and purple bruises kept falling off, and numerous granules coming out of the blood and flesh beneath the skin constantly stirred and started to regrow…

Instantly, a piece of broken human skin fell off like an animal shedding its skin. This scene was extremely horrifying. No wonder that middle-aged driver was frightened and fainted as if he had run into a ghost.

Ding Ning was awoken by his loud cry from his enlightenment. When he saw this scene, he was also quite shocked, realizing that this was what he had done. But as for how he had made it happen, he could not remember no matter how hard he tried, which made him so annoyed that he wished to kill the truck driver who had interrupted his great enlightenment at once.

After examining the situation of Yagyuu Asamayu, he was stunned by the result. The serious and dying injury returned to normal in an instant as if she had never been injured before. If she had not been in suspended animation, she could have stood up and gone home at once now.

The incredulous scene shocked Ding Ning so deeply that he even ignored that a stream of superpower energy from Yagyuu Asamayu entered his superpower space and activated his Invisibility Skill.

He racked his brains to recall how he had made it happen. If he mastered this method, that would be a unique skill of bringing the dying back to life. By then, he would possibly have the ability to make the flesh regrow from the bones with flesh missing, though he dared not say he could bring the dead back to life.

His fingers moved in the air unconsciously, but he could not find the previous feeling however hard he tried, so he was quite depressed.

“Nee-naw, nee-naw, nee-naw.”

The ambulance and the police car arrived at the same time. Ding Ning put away the human skin hurriedly and helped Yagyuu Asamayu wake up from suspended animation.

It was not until now that he could spare time to look at the appearance of Yagyuu Asamayu. Although he had met many beauties before, he was still shocked by her nice look.

The dark, shiny hair hung down loosely, dancing with the night wind; the exquisite, beautiful oval face was decorated by the thin, long crescent-shaped eyebrows; the long, curly eyelashes beneath the smooth forehead were slightly flapping, and she was about to wake up at any moment; the full and sexy lips under the straight, beautiful nose made men want to bed her; the skin was white, delicate, and smooth as if it would break once someone blew a puff of breath at it or flicked it…

Ding Ning became inexplicably satisfied, not because he coveted her beauty but because something nice revived in his hands and he had a strong sense of fulfillment.

Yagyuu Asamayu opened her crystal-clear watery eyes slowly, where there was a strong desire of dependence, and smiled at Ding Ning sweetly, but Ding Ning almost fainted due to the word “dad” she blurted out.

The heavy-duty truck driver had just woken up, but hearing this address, he rolled his eyes and passed out again.

The police officer of the accident brigade who was inquiring about the accident was muddled and studied Ding Ning from head to toe. “Anyway, I don’t think this little guy is more than 30 years old, but how could he have such an old daughter? Or perhaps he looks young? Or all the couples of lovers nowadays like this style? Uh, it is so disgusting!”

“Dad?” Ding Ning was dumbfounded. “What does this mean? Is this woman’s brain in disorder because of the hit?” He touched her forehead with his hand. “She does not have a fever!”

Yagyuu Asamayu did not try to avoid his hand, took his arm and rose to her feet, and said naively, “Dad, what happened to us?”

“Ahem, ahem, ahem, girl, did you mistake me for someone else? I’m not your dad.”

Ding Ning blushed as the police officer eyed him with a strange look and instantly coughed, hoping to get rid of the hand of Yagyuu Asamayu.

“Waaa, dad, you don’t want me anymore, right?”

Yagyuu Asamayu burst out crying, pursed her lips as she felt wronged, wiped away her tears, and wailed like a child.

“I…”

Ding Ning had a serious headache, knowing that her brain had been hurt and now she probably only had the IQ of a little child, so he had to brace himself to comfort her gently. “No, that’s not true. Don’t cry, okay? You had a traffic accident, and let’s follow this police officer uncle to the hospital to examine your situation, okay?”

“I…I don’t want to go to the hospital. Dad, let’s go home, okay?”

Yagyuu Asamayu stopped crying, but her cute face was tearful. She looked at the police officer in fear, held the corner of Ding Ning’s clothes timidly, and seeming afraid of angering him, whispered, while her pristine and flawless eyes were filled with a plea.

The police officer was sullen. “Police officer uncle? Don’t you know I am less than 30 and still have no girlfriend? Your daughter is so old, but you still pretend to be young in front of me?”

Embarrassed, Ding Ning looked at the sullen police comrade. “Police officer, the truth is…”

He explained the process of the accident in detail. Of course, he did not mention the identity of Yoshiko and only described himself as a passer-by.

The police offer was displeased with him. Hearing these words, he looked at him suspiciously and said with an unfriendly look, “It was so late at night, but why did you come here so accidentally? Can you show me your identity card?”

“I…I am a policeman, and I am investigating a case and happened to pass by this place.”

Thinking for a moment and hoping to avoid trouble, he took out his police officer’s certificate and showed it to him.

That policeman was instantly awed, stood straight hurriedly, and saluted him. “Oh, you are the consultant Ding. I’m sorry for what I did just now. I am Liu Bing, member of the Accident Brigade No. 2 of the Traffic Police Branch of Haidong District.”

“It doesn’t matter. That’s your duty.”

Ding Ning waved his hand generously, strongly hoping to leave right now, but when he saw that Yagyuu Asamayu had been holding the corner of his clothes timidly and would not let it go, he could not help having a headache for a few moments.

“Then, this girl…”

Police Officer Liu had learned from Ding Ning that Yagyuu Asamayu was also the victim of the traffic accident and feeling a little embarrassed, asked about Ding Ning’s opinion.

“Let’s do it this way. I will go to the hospital with you and examine the girl’s situation. I suspect that she lost her memory after her brain was hit. When she opened her eyes and I was the first person she saw, she then treated me as her family member mistakenly. There was nothing on her that can prove her identity, and I have to trouble you to contact her family as soon as possible.”

Ding Ning thought for a few moments and decided to accompany Yagyuu Asamayu to the hospital for an examination to see what went wrong, hoping to find her family as soon as possible.

“Okay, but Consultant Ding, please let’s have a routine interview when you come back, and then we can have a liability appraisal for the accident.”

Police Officer Liu said politely.

When the examination at the hospital was finished, it was already daybreak. Learning that the CT image of Yagyuu Asamayu did not show anything abnormal and she was completely healthy and did not need to be hospitalized, Ding Ning knitted his brows tightly.

He knew that the brain was the most accurate and most mysterious place in the human body, and it was normal that the medical instrument had not found anything wrong. Apparently, Yagyuu Asamayu had lost all her memory and her IQ was only equivalent to that of a four- or five-year-old child, so she regarded him she saw first as her only family member.

“Consultant Ding, neither the diseased nor this girl has anything on themselves to prove their identities, so we can’t confirm their identities now. Then, what should we do with this girl in your view?”

Liu Bing walked over and asked gingerly.

Ding Ning was so distressed that he rubbed his temples. Yagyuu Asamayu was like a child who was so afraid of being abandoned and had been holding the corner of his clothes. Wherever he went, she followed him. Seeing this, he could not help sympathizing with her. Anyway, if he had not chased to kill the black-robed man and Yoshiko, the poor girl would not have become what she was now. Therefore, he had the responsibility and obligation to take care of her.

He said instantly, “Let’s do it this way. This girl now treats me as her only family member, and let me take her to my family to ask my sister to take care of her. I can give you my phone number. When you find her family, please call me immediately, and I will bring her back.”

“Okay, okay, that’s great. Thank you very much for the trouble, Consultant Ding.”

Liu Bing heaved a long sigh of relief. This girl’s identity was unclear, but she relied exceptionally heavily on Ding Ning. If Ding Ning was slightly out of her sight, she would wail, make trouble, roll on the ground, throw tantrums, and even want to kill herself.

Although he had been working in the accident brigade for so many years, he had never encountered anything like this and really did not know how to deal with her. Ding Ning, who was willing to take her away, had solved a big problem for them.

As for whether Ding Ning would take the opportunity to do something obscene to the girl, that was beyond his consideration.
