Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 512: Chapter 370: One Dream, Two Fleeting Lives

Zhou Zongbao’s words successfully stunned everyone!

For a moment, the entire room fell into a strange silence!

Young Master! They also have the Young Master’s birth data! Does this not mean that the Young Master’s life is also in their hands?

”Then... what should we do now?” Si Xi was the first to regain his composure, asking blankly, ”The Young Master must not be harmed! The Young Master absolutely must not be harmed! Otherwise, even if Lady Changsheng wakes up, we will not be able to explain to her! Yhan Qinrui! Yhan Qinrui...”

As he spoke, a murderous fierceness appeared in Si Xi’s eyes.

”For the sake of Changsheng’s beloved daughter, we must not act rashly at this time!” Mr. Ban Shan said seriously, he bowed his head in thought for a moment, then looked up again, ”Now that Changsheng’s beloved daughter is in trouble, the house is on high alert. If it really was Yhan Qinrui and her people who secretly manipulated this, they must have already received the news!”

”Having struck successfully, they probably will not immediately act against my little grandson again, but even so, we must take preventative measures!”

”How should we proceed? Gu Changsheng is unconscious, and Xiao Gu Ze’s safety is constantly under threat!” Zhou Zongbao said angrily, ”Young Master really hates this feeling of knowing who the enemy is yet not being able to strike! Once Gu Changsheng wakes up, I must skin and dismember Yhan Qinrui!”

”Once Changsheng’s beloved daughter wakes up, you won’t need to lift a finger; she will not spare Yhan Qinrui,” Mr. Ban Shan said coldly!

For casting the Hateful Victory Curse that harmed his daughter, Yhan Qinrui deserves to die!

”But the Young Master! Who can ensure the Young Master’s safety?” Si Xi looked around at everyone, asking blankly.

The Young Master is the apple of Lady Changsheng’s eye; he must not meet with any mishap. If something were to happen to the Young Master, the consequences would be unthinkable!

Not to mention Lady Changsheng, even his lordship who dotes on the Young Master immensely would be furious!

The crowd looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

”Amitabha! This monk can ensure the Young Master’s safety!”

Just as everyone was at a loss, a loud chant of a Buddhist verse rang out.

Upon hearing the latter part of the chant, the crowd’s eyes widened with joy!

”Little Monk Bu Jie!” Dong Lei called out joyfully, getting up and rushing toward the small figure that appeared at the doorway, grabbing his Zen Robe and asking repeatedly, ”Little Monk Bu Jie have you finished your meditation? Weren’t you in closed-door meditation after dealing with the Futu Demoness? Are you alright now? Can you really ensure the Young Master’s safety?”

Facing Dong Lei’s barrage of questions, Little Monk Bu Jie still had a compassionate expression, showing neither joy nor anger, and nodded his head before continuing into the room.

”Zen Master Bu Jie is courteous!” Seeing that it was Little Monk Bu Jie, Mr. Ban Shan greeted him with a bow.

Little Monk Bu Jie responded with his hands clasped together and chanted another Buddhist verse, ”Amitabha, you are courteous, Sir!”

”Since Zen Master Bu Jie has ended his retreat for this matter, there must be a reason. May I know if Changsheng’s beloved daughter can safely overcome this calamity? Must we really let Tan Nv defy fate to save her?” Mr. Ban Shan quickly asked upon seeing this.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention toward Little Monk Bu Jie.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Little Monk Bu Jie remained expressionless, slightly bowed his head as a gesture, turned, and walked toward Gu Changsheng’s bedside.

”I indeed have a premonition; I came here specifically to help Benefactor Changsheng overcome this calamity!” Little Monk Bu Jie, his eyes filled with compassion, looked at the woman quietly lying on the bed, a Little Wooden Fish mysteriously appearing in his hand.

Before anyone could ask further, a sound of the Little Wooden Fish suddenly filled the room.

”Dismiss origin, dismiss destination, Benefactor’s mind harbors too many obsessions, tsk! This monk will now help the Benefactor resolve these obsessions!”

After a loud shout from Little Monk Bu Jie, he then sat cross-legged in front of the bed, eyes tightly closed, lips moving rapidly!

But everyone heard not a sound. Even though no sound was heard, everyone held their breath, not daring to make a move, even slowing their breathing!

Little Monk Bu Jie’s abilities were initially unknown to them but given the incident with the Futu Demoness, they had no choice but to regard him differently!

A person, although very young, capable of turning the situation around at the most perilous moment—how could they not look at him with new eyes?

”Tsk! Silly boy! Go back now!”

Suddenly, Little Monk Bu Jie, his voice severe, shouted angrily as the wooden club of his Little Wooden Fish flew from his hand, striking directly at Gu Changsheng’s brow!

...

Gu Changsheng felt herself plunging into boundless darkness, unable to move, unable to call out!

She could only wander aimlessly!

”Ah! Changsheng, you always caused trouble for this old man during your lifetime, but now at your end, this white-haired one must send off a black-haired, still having to ***keep fragrant fruits as offerings for you!”

An old, weathered voice rang out, filled with endless nostalgia!

Gu Changsheng, wandering in the darkness, stiffened instantly, her heart aching as if twisted by a knife, tears flooding her eyes in an instant as she looked blankly around the dark surrounds.

Grandfather!

She heard her grandfather’s voice!

The grandfather she longed for day and night, never ceasing to worry about!

”Chief, don’t be too sad. If General Gu knew of your heartache, he would not rest easy in the netherworld either!”

Another voice rose, Gu Changsheng knew it to be that of a military doctor who looked after her grandfather.

”If she truly cared, she would have come back to see me! It’s been so long; I *** sleep early, just hoping to even dream of her once. Ah, she was always heartless in life, I hadn’t thought that even in death, she’d still fail to come and see this old man. Could it really be that she wants to wait for this old man to also go down there before seeing her again?”

”Grandpa! Grandpa, I’m still alive! I’m still alive!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng suddenly burst into desperate, tear-filled shouts.

But the only response to her was endless darkness and void...

”Chief, don’t think like that. You must live a long life so that General Gu can rest in peace!” Lau Wei’s comforting voice echoed again.

Gu Changsheng immediately nodded vigorously, yes, yes, yes! Grandpa must live a long life! He must!

”Somehow, I always feel that Changsheng, that girl, is not dead yet. Ah... it might be because I am old and cannot accept such reality...”

”Grandpa! I’m not dead! I’m really not dead!” Gu Changsheng sprinted and screamed in the darkness, ”Let me see Grandpa one more time! Just once more!”

Surrounded by darkness, she could distinctly hear her grandpa’s everyday speech, hear his sorrow-filled sighs...

Every sound tore at Gu Changsheng’s heart, causing her unbearable agony!

She could feel someone calling her back, but she didn’t want to! She wanted to stay here, in this darkness, even if it meant only hearing Grandpa’s voice, it was enough!

”I, Gu Changsheng, have never revered Heaven nor believed in Buddha, but today, I, Gu Changsheng, beg you just this once, let me see my Grandpa, just once! Even if it costs me a great price, even if it leads to the disintegration of my soul, I am willing!”

Gu Changsheng knelt in the void, tears streaming down as she prayed fervently.

”Please! Let me see Grandpa just once! Please! Please!”

”Please! I give my all, just for one wish! Please let me see my Grandpa!”

”...”

No matter how strong the calling force behind her, Gu Changsheng stubbornly knelt in the void and continued to bow down ceaselessly.

She could feel the tears flowing from her eyes, feel the blood oozing from her forehead...

But this was nothing compared to the pain her Grandpa felt from losing her!

Her Grandpa, who doted on her to the outrage of heaven and wrath of men! Her Grandpa, whose extravagant affection provoked the fury of deities and mortals alike!

How heartbroken must Grandpa be, losing her, with every word she heard like a heart being carved out!

In her ears were Grandpa’s endless sounds of longing, Gu Changsheng listened to his voice and prayed day and night...

”Away! Foolish child! Return now!”

Suddenly, a stern rebuke resounded in Gu Changsheng’s heart, and she immediately blacked out, plunging into boundless void!

When she awoke again, she was already in the military hospital yard, in that familiar courtyard where Grandpa recuperated!

Watching her own Grandpa, hair grown white, incense for her, repeatedly painting her portrait, occasionally sighing...

”Lau Wei, why do I feel that Changsheng, that girl, is somewhere near me?” Suddenly, Old Grand Master Gu suddenly lifted his head and looked towards Lau Wei, who had always stayed by his side.

Gu Changsheng stood not far in front of Old Grand Master Gu and nodded vigorously, ”I’m here! I am here! Grandpa, I am here! I’ve come back!”

”Chief might be suffering from lack of sleep these past few days, maybe you should rest earlier today?” Lau Wei, wearing a white lab coat, stepped forward to help Old Grand Master Gu up.

”Ah...” Old Grand Master Gu shook his head helplessly and walked toward the bedroom with Lau Wei’s support.

Gu Changsheng followed step by step, not leaving his side for a moment.

Her Grandpa had aged a lot, no longer as lively as before, surely because of her! It was all because of her!

But though he was within arm’s reach, Grandpa couldn’t see her!

By now, Gu Changsheng had realized that she had returned only as a ghost.

Even so, she still greedily watched every move of the person in front of her, unwilling to leave even for a moment.

Watching her own Grandpa fall asleep, Gu Changsheng anxiously paced around the bedside, yet unsure of what to do.

”Let me speak to Grandpa, please! Heavenly Father, since you brought me back, show some mercy!” Gu Changsheng knelt down once more, hands pressed together, praying earnestly.

She didn’t want her Grandpa to continue wasting away like this!

She could feel her strength fading, surely her ghostly form wouldn’t last much longer!

But Grandpa was so aged because he had lost her! How could she bear it?

Even at the risk of disintegration of her soul, she wanted to bring peace to her Grandpa!

Gu Changsheng’s stubbornness erupted once more as she continued her desperate prayers, determined not to give up until her goal was achieved!

She had to ensure her Grandpa lived well! Even if it meant vanishing from this world, she was prepared!

Gu Changsheng’s obstinacy once again flared up, spirit wounded, her forehead ached unbearably, but she remained undeterred!

In another dimension, Little Monk Bu Jie, who had been reciting sutras tirelessly by Gu Changsheng’s window, suddenly opened his eyes...
