Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1109: Chapter 779: Changsheng’s ”Origins

Guo Luo was immediately excited, holding Zhou Mu’s injured arm, his eyes fixated, unable to help but exclaim, ”Heavens!”

”Impossible! Impossible! It’s completely impossible! Even the medicine crafted by the Medicine God Emperor Changsheng couldn’t have such miraculous effects, reviving the dead and growing flesh on bones, visibly healing wounds! How is this possible! Heaven! Heaven! What exactly am I witnessing?”

Guo Luo’s words caused Zhou Mu’s figure to stiffen, and his gaze at Guo Luo carried a hint of helplessness. He had hit the nail on the head; this medicine was indeed crafted by the Medicine God Emperor Changsheng, exclusively for military use and still kept secret from the public—the Yunnan White Medicine.

This was refined after Gu Changsheng regained control of the Southern Border Bashu, using the herbs from Bashu and Yunnan. The name it was given was plain and unremarkable, but its efficacy in stopping bleeding and healing external injuries indeed amazed people, garnering endless praise!

”Brother Shui Mu, tell me this isn’t real? How could there be such a Divine Medicine in the world? You must either not be human, or you are different from others, healing faster not because of the medicine, right?” Guo Luo looked at Zhou Mu, who was smiling faintly, incredulously guessing.

It’s not surprising he questioned himself, for this medicine, so miraculously effective, truly was unseen in all ages!

He was a person of the Itinerant World, living a life often not by choice, on the knife’s edge, between gun and sword. Getting injured was inevitable. His wife, Beauty Sai, had once suffered a life-threatening injury and survived only by seeking medicine from the Longevity Medical Hall in Liuzhou City, crafted by Lady Changsheng herself. He had watched his wife apply the medicine, observed her wounds rapidly getting better within days, yet even then, there was nothing like today’s miraculous effect!

This completely exceeded Guo Luo’s range of understanding!

People were not made of copper walls and iron ramparts; they were beings of flesh and blood. Even if those ramparts broke, time would be needed to repair them, yet this flesh and blood body, injured as it was, healed so openly while chatting with Brother Shui Mu!

What is this?

This is simply a miracle!

”No, she is quite skilled in the medical arts, only never revealed to the world, not known to people!” Zhou Mu, under Guo Luo’s persistent questioning, had no choice but to tell a kind lie. At such a moment, he couldn’t possibly tell him that he and his beloved were the very ones constantly talked about, who ran away from a marriage?

One was a Crown Prince of the Great Zhou, the other an Emperor of the Southern Country, neither could afford the disgrace!

”No, no! Southern Emperor Changsheng is hailed as a Medicine God unmatched in the world; how could Sister-in-law’s medical skills surpass the Southern Emperor’s? Impossible! It must be impossible!” The Emperor Changsheng had a life-saving grace to Guo Luo’s family, and Guo Luo’s constant defense of Gu Changsheng was immediate, shaking his head in denial, not believing anyone could have better medical skills than Gu Changsheng!

Zhou Mu heard this and was speechless, his deity-like face full of helplessness. For the first time, he felt a sense of being at a loss for words.

How should he reply to this?

Zhou Mu was silent for a while, finally sighed, and said, ”There are always people beyond people, heavens beyond heavens. Southern Emperor’s medical skills are unparalleled, yet hers aren’t lacking...”

Originally, it was the same person, how could there be ranking? Why compare lengths and strengths?

”How could this be? Emperor Changsheng is a person gifted by heaven; how could anyone be comparable to her? Impossible!” Guo Luo insisted, believing it difficult for anyone to surpass their life-saving benefactor, Gu Changsheng.

Zhou Mu was even more helpless, his perfectly straight brows tightly knitted. He hadn’t expected Guo Luo to defend his little woman so fiercely, it had almost become a blind faith!

Yet, it wasn’t blind, because this medicine, which overturned Guo Luo’s beliefs, was indeed crafted by the very person he believed in!

It was just that he couldn’t vow to reveal the truth.

Just as Guo Luo was exclaiming in shock, Elder Guo spiritedly walked in from outside. He had already mourned over the smashed barrel of his decade-old precious Huadiao Wine, but now, seeing the culprit that caused his treasured wine to be broken, Elder Guo’s face still showed a hint of dissatisfaction. Yet, considering this person was an unparalleled master, he could only endure!

Thus, Elder Guo, stepping into the Dining Hall, immediately grumbled discontentedly.

Just this one sound, and Guo Luo immediately dashed over to his father like seeing a rescuer, pulling him over in haste, urgently saying, ”Dad! Miracle! Miracle! Quickly look!”

The stumbling Elder Guo’s face immediately darkened, having not seen anything yet, he immediately slapped his son’s forehead in an angry growl, ”You unfilial son! Are you mad? How dare you lay hands on your father!”

This young guest at the house was a master, one he couldn’t defeat or act against, but his own son? He could handle for sure!

Thus, Elder Guo had a few instances of venting his anger, delivering a rather heavy slap to his own son!

”No! Dad! No! Look! Look at the wound!” Guo Luo, rather than resisting, excitedly brushed up Zhou Mu’s sleeve, revealing the arm dusted with medicinal powder, pointing and shouting at the wound, ”Dad, look, it’s healed! It’s healed! When I came in to help him apply the medicine, the wound, though not deep, was bleeding quite a bit, look, a basin of bloody water is still here, yet this wound, has miraculously healed already! Look quickly!”

Elder Guo heard the words, and immediately glanced at the water basin placed aside. Half a basin of blood was visible, indicating that the wound had indeed bled a lot. However, as he followed the direction his son pointed and looked at Zhou Mu’s arm, even the well-informed Elder Guo was stunned. He couldn’t believe it as he held Zhou Mu’s arm, eyes wide open.

”Really? It’s really healed?”

”Absolutely true! In just the time we chatted, the wound has healed! The flesh and blood of the original wound were still rolling over!” Guo Luo responded resolutely.

”Heavens! How is that possible! A flesh and blood body, a wound needs time to heal, how could it heal so quickly?” Elder Guo couldn’t believe his son’s words and looked at the helpless Zhou Mu with a face of uncertainty.

Zhou Mu was indeed helpless, one could say he was quite troubled!

Because he thought, this bottle of medicine was very likely to expose their identities. Even if not exposed, it would arouse suspicion among the Guo family.

It was all because of that little woman, going mad for no reason, that led to such an unmanageable scene!

Now, not only Guo Luo was shocked, but the whole father-son duo was frightened by the miraculous effects of the White Medicine!

How should this end? One mishap and it would be uncontrollable!

Zhou Mu had never been one to lie. In fact, given his status, he disdained lying, but today, he made an exception!

Watching Guo Luo repeat his earlier lie, Zhou Mu couldn’t help but sigh, hoping that his well-intentioned falsehood could fool these two, otherwise, his identity and that woman’s would inevitably be exposed!

”Divine Medicine! This truly is Divine Medicine! Young friend Shui Mu, forgive this old man’s presumptuousness, but may I ask, is your fiancée from a hidden medical noble family? How does she have such profound medical skills? The miraculous effect of this Divine Medicine surpasses that of Emperor Changsheng, unmatched in the world. Unless she is the heir of a hidden world family, it is impossible to possess such skills!” Elder Guo, being well-informed, naturally knew there are always more capable people, thus he immediately asked.

Even though he asked so blatantly, in his heart, he had already confirmed his initial suspicion that these two must be from a hidden world family, to have such profound cultivation at such a young age, and such earth-shaking pharmaceutical skills!

Zhou Mu’s mouth twitched at Elder Guo’s question, he could only passively nod.

Nodding only once, he did not open his mouth.

Lies are indeed not to be told!

Tell one lie, and you have to use countless lies to cover that one lie. It would be better to let Elder Guo speak for himself, after all, it was he who said it, nothing to do with him!

Thinking this, Zhou Mu became calm immediately, and his expression relaxed.

This world does have extraordinary families, hence there are notable clans, Itinerant World masters, and hidden world families, passed down through generations, with remarkable feats. Never did he think that he and Changsheng would have to borrow the name of such a hidden world family to protect their identity from being exposed.

”Several centuries ago, there was once an heir from the Medicine King Valley in the Itinerant World, who had also given out one or two Divine Medicines with such miraculous effects, but that person kept their medicine secret. Could it be that the young lady comes from the Medicine King Valley...” A virtuous woman still, with such an extraordinary Divine Medicine upon action, apart from the rare Southern Emperor Changsheng, only the heir of the hidden Medicine King Valley could be so, so Elder Guo immediately speculated with awe.

Next to him, Guo Luo, upon hearing this, promptly nodded, confirming his father’s speculation, as he thought the same.

Zhou Mu, seated at the guest seat, with his handsome face half hidden under the mask, twitched, thinking they were setting their own story, and indeed, without him needing to interject, the father and son had already begun to make up a story for him.

Zhou Mu helplessly raised his head, he finally understood what that woman had once said, a truly grand conman only needs a look, and others will find a hundred reasonable explanations for him...

As expected!

This father and son of the Guo Family not only found a reasonable explanation for Changsheng’s medical skills but also prepared a backstory for them...

This... really leaves one speechless!

Especially for Zhou Mu, who was not accustomed to lying and felt guilty even occasionally doing so, this made him internally at a loss for whether to laugh or cry.

Looking at the noisy father and son of the Guo Family encircling him, treating him as a deity, Zhou Mu lowered his head, wearing an helpless and bitter smile. Well, there is now no need to worry about their identity being exposed, it is even more securely hidden!

Thus, even if it wasn’t anticipated, it turned out to be an unexpected joy...
