“My head hurts”
I don’t know what exactly happened. Anyway, when I regained consciousness, although the headache was much relieved compared to before I fell into a coma, I still felt like my brain was jumping up and down inside my head, and the piercing pain made it impossible for me to open my eyes.
"Ji Wen, wake up Ji Wen!"
Faintly, I could hear someone calling me, but even though I could hear the voice, I couldn't open my eyes to see who was calling me. Then I lost consciousness again. When I regained consciousness, the headache completely disappeared. When I opened my eyes, I was already lying in a hospital ward, with Lin Yingxue, who looked anxious, and Officer Yang, and that weird Taoist Lin standing beside me.
Although the headache was severe, it came and went quickly. At this moment, I felt like I had just woken up from a nap and my body did not feel any discomfort. I sat up and stretched, which scared everyone around me and turned their eyes to me.
"What's wrong with me? Why did you bring me to the hospital?" After waking up, I moved my neck, then picked up a glass of water from the table next to me and drank it all.
Lin Yingxue was the first to react. She immediately came over and touched my head with concern. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The fever has subsided. It seems that it was indeed his own fault."
Officer Yang looked at me in surprise and said, "Don't you know what happened? During the day, we were checking the crime scene, and you suddenly fell to the ground like you had a seizure. You didn't make any sound from beginning to end. We were so scared that we rushed you to the hospital."
"I just felt a severe headache at the time, and I don't know what happened afterwards. What did the doctor say?" Seeing that what Officer Yang described was similar to what I remembered, I breathed a sigh of relief. After all, at the time I thought someone had secretly knocked me unconscious from behind, and other people might be in danger as well.
"The doctor said they didn't know what happened to you. They did a brain CT scan and everything was normal. There was no reason that could cause you to fall into a coma. In the end, they said it was your own fault. We were a little confused. We originally said that if you didn't wake up today, we would take you back to the capital for examination tomorrow. I didn't expect you to wake up so soon. Does your head still hurt now?"
I reached out and touched my head. Everything was fine, so I smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore. It might be a stroke. It's okay. It's a small problem."
As soon as I finished speaking, Taoist Lin, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Stroke? I think you are possessed by evil spirits!"
I looked at Taoist Lin in confusion and said, "Why are you here? What do you mean I'm possessed?"
Taoist Lin smiled and said, "I have just finished the ritual over there, and I just happened to see you fainted. Anyway, I had nothing to do, so I followed you here. Don't forget that I am an orthodox Taoist priest. No demons or evil spirits can escape my eyes. Your symptoms are obviously a kind of hysteria caused by evil spirits. The doctors here naturally can't find out what's wrong. Why don't you let me help you?"
I thought this was a little funny, so I said, "Oh? Then how are you going to help me? Are you planning to charge me a few thousand dollars to give to the gods?"
Taoist Lin shook his head and said, "Of course not. Those are the works of charlatans. I can help you exorcise the evil spirits for free. If it doesn't work, I will quit the anchor industry, find a job and stop being a Taoist priest. What do you think?"
Officer Yang at the side sighed and said, "Forget it, the person is already fine, why are you still doing this? Let him rest early. It may be because he has not rested well recently. If there is anything, we can talk about it tomorrow."
But I don't think so. Suddenly, I feel that the Taoist Lin in front of me seems to have become mysterious. He is so confident in his magic that he dares to make such a big bet with me. Although I don't know what he wants to do, I have the idea of playing with him.
"You said I was possessed by evil spirits. Could it be that I went to the room where the deceased died today and was invaded by the soul of that female anchor?"
Taoist Lin stared at me disapprovingly, his eyes slightly serious as he said, "In my opinion, that's not the case. You've been possessed by evil spirits for a long time. The evil spirit has never erupted in your body, but for some reason today, it erupted and caused you to faint on the spot. Although the evil spirit has already invaded your bone marrow, I still have a way to expel it."
When Taoist Lin said this, I suddenly remembered the Azan Ban I met in Zhongwei City. He used something called soul magic on Li Hua and me. Could it be that the evil spirit that Taoist Lin mentioned was this soul magic? Does the magic of black magic really exist
"No matter what the source of this evil energy is, it is still evil energy. I will draw a Sanqing Talisman for you in a moment. Put the talisman under your pillow. Then I will give you a formula. Recite the formula silently in your heart before going to bed. The righteous energy of the Sanqing Talisman will wash over your whole body. When you wake up tomorrow morning, I guarantee that the disease will be cured."
Taoist Lin was still so confident when he spoke, and Lin Yingxue and Officer Yang beside him looked at him as if he were an idiot, but he didn't care at all and kept staring at me confidently.
"But I'm fine now, and I probably won't have a headache tomorrow. How can I prove that your spells and incantations really work?"
"Don't worry about that. You will understand it tomorrow. This is something that can only be understood but not explained."
Things had come to this point, so I didn't bother about it any more and asked him to do it now. I was going to rest. Taoist Lin immediately and happily took out a stack of yellow paper talismans from his body, picked out one of them and handed it to me. He also took out a notebook, wrote a few words on it with a pen and gave it to me, and told me to recite the mantra silently before going to bed at night, otherwise the Sanqing Talisman could not be activated.
After giving all the instructions, Taoist Lin left my ward. I did not look at the incantation and wanted to go to the scene to take another look, but was stopped by Officer Yang. He said that I should just rest well and observe for a day in the hospital and we can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything. After all, my health is more important.
So, after having dinner with us, Officer Yang went back to work. However, Lin Yingxue insisted that I must stay in the hospital for a day, so the two of us rested in the ward. There happened to be three empty beds in the ward, so Lin Yingxue picked one and went to rest.
I took out my cell phone and checked the time. It was only nine o'clock in the evening. Normally, I couldn't sleep at this time. I felt bored, so I prepared to read a novel to kill time. Suddenly, I touched the Sanqing Talisman and the piece of paper with the mantra given to me by Taoist Lin. Then I remembered our bet, so I put the Sanqing Talisman under the pillow as Taoist Lin said, then picked up the piece of paper with the mantra and began to recite it silently in my heart.
The handwriting of Taoist Lin is as ugly as mine! It took me more than ten minutes to recognize all the words in a paragraph of about a hundred words. This seems to be a paragraph from the Tao Te Ching that I often see on TV. After reading it for a long time, I still don’t understand what it means, so I decided to recite it silently in my mind according to Taoist Lin’s words, just as hypnosis.
I repeated this passage in my mind about ten times and began to feel sleepy. But in a trance, I seemed to feel that this passage had some kind of magic. Although I didn't understand what it meant, it could calm my mind. My whole thoughts were focused on this passage, and I no longer thought about anything else. Gradually, this feeling became stronger and stronger, and finally, under the influence of this feeling, I fell into a deep sleep.
I slept until dawn. When I opened my eyes again, Lin Yingxue had already gotten up and went to the bathroom to wash up. I also found that my mental state was so good that it was unbelievable! It was just like when I slept in on Sundays until midnight when I was in school. My brain was clearer than ever before. I even felt that I could see things more clearly than before.
I was shocked and delighted by this dramatic qualitative change. I immediately got out of bed and stretched my body. I felt as if my entire body had become light, as if I had been reborn overnight.
Of course, this situation can also indirectly explain another problem, that is, the Sanqing Talisman and the mantra that Taoist Lin gave me last night are effective. In other words, there has indeed been some kind of evil spirit in my body, and the Sanqing Talisman helped me to expel the evil spirit, which is why I have such a change.
This kind of thing sounds like a plot from a fantasy novel, but now it has really happened to me. I am a little confused. Is it true that Chinese Taoism is so magical? Even doctors cannot find the cause of my headache with advanced equipment and methods, but Taoist Lin can solve it for me with just a talisman
When Lin Yingxue heard that I woke up, she came out and asked me if I was feeling better. I told Lin Yingxue about the changes in my body and brain. She also found it very unbelievable. She asked me carefully several times before she completely confirmed the matter.
"This Taoist priest Lin is so powerful? No wonder he can broadcast live on the live streaming platform and have so many people watching. But when did you become possessed by the evil spirit?"
Lin Yingxue seemed very interested in this matter and kept asking me some strange questions, but I shook my head slightly and said solemnly: "I'm afraid that's not the case."
"Why do you say that?" Lin Yingxue asked puzzledly.
"That Taoist priest Lin was so confident yesterday, I felt that there might be something wrong. Now that my body has really improved so much, instead of saying that his talisman is powerful, it is better to think about it in a different way. Suppose that I was not possessed by evil spirits or had a headache yesterday, but was poisoned by some kind of poison that the doctor could not find out by Taoist priest Lin? If he put the antidote in the glass of water that I drank after waking up yesterday, wouldn't he have achieved the current effect?"
