Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Capítulo 1122: Chapter 792: Ghost Trouble! Quick, Get Dog Blood!

Guo Luo is also very young, how come he doesn’t have such great fortune?

Comparing one to another, it’s really infuriating!

“You shouldn’t be envious of others. Throughout history, anyone who could reach the Conquest Realm must have undergone inhuman trials and put in much more effort than ordinary people. The Heavenly Dao rewards the diligent, and the Martial Dao rewards those who practice. In martial arts practice, there are no shortcuts. For him to have such cultivation, he must have been practicing since childhood, with guidance from a famous teacher, and his own exceptional talent to reach this level!” No one understands a son better than his father. Elder Guo naturally knew what his son was thinking, and he patted his shoulder for comfort, saying, “To achieve the Transformative Realm is the lifelong pursuit of people like us who practice martial arts. However, those who truly reach that stage are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. Son, in a person’s life, experiencing love and desire, separations and deaths, can be considered complete. Entering the Transformative Realm, seizing the Path of Immortality, and going through Reincarnation are defiant of the heavens. Whether it’s good or bad, only those who reach that level would know. We shouldn’t force it!”

“Yes! Father, you’re right!” Upon hearing this, Guo Luo became much clearer and nodded, “In this life, if I can marry Xi Shi, have children, and live harmoniously for a lifetime, that would be complete for me. Everything should follow the natural course, and I absolutely won’t force it.”

“It’s best if you can think of it this way. Practicing martial arts is about letting things happen naturally. How far you can go depends on personal cultivation…” Elder Guo nodded, “You should go up and take a look, see if there’s anything you can help with.”

“Okay.” Guo Luo nodded and turned to walk out of the wine cellar.

He left behind Elder Guo, who turned around with a face full of doubt, picked up the rice-pounding hammer that had fallen on the ground, and muttered to himself in a low voice, “To reach the Transformative Realm at such a young age is not the first in history. Rumor has it in the Itinerant World that the Crown Prince of Great Zhou has unfathomable strength. I wonder what kind of foundation that is…”

In the end, Elder Guo shook his head, dismissing the wild speculations in his mind, and merely sighed, “In this era of great competition, indeed, talents are emerging in large numbers! I’m getting old, really old; it’s better to focus on brewing wine…”

Having said that, Elder Guo plunged into the workshop and continued his work.

Guo’s Guest Courtyard.

Gu Changsheng was sitting cross-legged on the bed regulating his internal breath when suddenly his body trembled, and he woke up from meditation with a face full of grievance, clutching his stomach.

“It’s too much! This is just too much!”

Clutching his stomach, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but curse lowly.

Darn it, that big-bellied Beauty Sai is really over the top. She at least gave a hint of breakfast, but for lunch, she didn’t even step in, just strolled to the door of her guest room and then turned around and left!

Damn it!

She’s already missed two meals!

With her stomach growling, it was long singing an empty song, yet her evildoer showed no reaction at all, not even a ghostly shadow has been seen!

If she can’t see the evildoer, who the hell is she supposed to show her weakness to?

To her hungry stomach?

Gu Changsheng clutched her slightly spasming stomach, looking as if she was about to cry but couldn’t.

Suddenly, she felt so foolish, really foolish. Just think about it, this should originally be a man’s initiative, so why did it become her responsibility here? Not only did it turn into her initiative, but darn it, she still moved without results!

Though it had been less than a day and only two meals, Gu Changsheng was already starting to retreat.

She really thought that Beauty Sai as an ally was too unreliable, even more absent-minded than herself. What kind of bad idea did she come up with? It was completely useless!

“Pregnancy makes a woman foolish for three years, and I actually allied with a pregnant woman. Was my brain kicked by a donkey?”

Gu Changsheng wailed, regretting it endlessly!

Hungry!

So hungry!

She really wanted to run out and steal something to eat. What’s done cannot be undone, she regretted it! Really!

This is too inhumane, she needed to change her strategy, like maybe drugging the evildoer, which was better than starving!

Gu Changsheng rolled on the bed, clutching her stomach with a face full of grievance, feeling conflicted whether to give up halfway through.

Should she give up?

Her stomach was really hungry!

If things kept going this way, she’d succeed by sacrificing herself first, darn it!

In front of the Gu Family’s gate, people were still bustling, and the number of people coming to buy wine was increasing, with the clamor getting louder and louder. Even from a distance, it could be heard clearly. But at this time, in the backyard of the Gu Family, there was someone who completely ignored the noise in the front yard. A tall figure swept out from the underground wine cellar like a gust of wind, passed by the busy boys in the Gu Family’s courtyard, and turned into a wisp of smoke heading towards the Guest Garden.

“Godfather! Did I just see a ghost in broad daylight?” A boy holding a wine jar swallowed his saliva and exclaimed with a face full of horror.

“It was a ghost! I felt a cold breeze sweep past me!” Another boy smacked his lips, looking shocked.

In broad daylight, how could they encounter a ghost? Just now, something swept by them so swiftly that they couldn’t even see its shadow properly, what was it?

As the two boys thought about this, they shivered quickly, the idea flashing through their minds that ghosts fear the sunlight, and a ghost that can walk under the sun must be a big ghost!

As this idea flashed, the two boys gave a shout, hugged the wine jars tightly and got ready to run off.

But, before they had a chance to run even two steps, another gust of cold wind whipped past their ears. Then, the two of them were grabbed by the backs of their necks and couldn’t move a single step forward…

Ghostly Labyrinth!

The two guys were so scared they nearly peed themselves!

“Ghostly Lord! Ghostly Lord, have mercy, I’m young and old at home, haven’t even married yet, haven’t held a girl’s hand, please don’t take me away!” one of the guys tightly hugged the wine jar in his arms, pleading with teary eyes.

“You’re just spouting nonsense! You haven’t married, where did you get young and old at home? You’re just fooling a ghost! Ghostly Lord, listen to me, we’re just two servants, skinny as skeletons, not tasty at all, and we’ll get stuck in your teeth. Why not look for a fatty to whet your appetite? Don’t come for us, don’t eat us!” the other guy also frightened out of his wits, even in fear, he couldn’t help but undermine his partner.

Zhou Mu was already worried about his willful little woman at home, and hearing these two guys’ gibberish, his frown deepened even more, his voice growing colder, the stern chill of the Undefeated War God of Great Zhou became fully apparent, “Kitchen! Where’s the kitchen?”

He originally planned to rush to the Guest Garden to see his Changsheng, but he suddenly remembered that woman was being obstinate and hadn’t eaten yet, so he turned back halfway!

That woman, who most knew how to enjoy life, would dare to starve herself for such grievances!

Did she ask for his permission?

That woman!

That woman!

Thinking about Gu Changsheng’s willfulness, Zhou Mu’s temples throbbed painfully, feeling both heartache and helplessness at the same time.

He really had no way to handle that woman!

Completely clueless!

“Gah?”

“Gah?”

A ghost asking where the kitchen is?

The two guys being held up looked at each other in panic, their frightened eyes silently screaming, isn’t this line wrong? Aren’t ghosts supposed to eat people? How come the ghost might actually be vegetarian and looking for food in the kitchen?

Well…

Though puzzled inside, the two guys, out of self-preservation instincts, raised their hands and pointed in the direction of the kitchen.

In the next moment, they felt the grip on the back of their necks disappear. Regaining their senses after stumbling a bit, they turned in panic to look at the direction they had just pointed, managing only to catch a glimpse of the crooked neck tree at the corner leading to the kitchen swaying its leaves, and then it was still again, still without any sign of a person…

“Ghost! It’s really a ghost!” one guy exclaimed.

“Godfather! Aren’t we going to get Aunt Hua killed? Aunt Hua is always hanging around the kitchen, and that Ghost King just ran to the kitchen!” the other guy also exclaimed.

“What do we do? What do we do now? What if Aunt Hua gets eaten by the ghost?”

“Dog blood! Ghosts are most afraid of dog blood! Quick, go to the front yard and bleed our guard dog a bit, luckily our guard dog is a big black dog!”

“Right right right! Save Aunt Hua! Save Aunt Hua! Dog blood! Dog blood!”

“…”

The two panic-stricken guys immediately took off running towards the front yard.

Guo Luo came out from the underground wine cellar and headed towards the front yard, not because he wasn’t concerned about Zhou Mu and Gu Changsheng’s situation, but he thought, this was after all a private matter between the young couple, and having an outsider like him involved wouldn’t be appropriate, might even mess things up, better let them handle it themselves.

Coincidentally, today was the day every three months when the Guo Family would open the cellar to sell wine, so he should go to the front yard to help oversee things.

But as soon as he reached the front yard, Guo Luo was dumbfounded by the chaos before him.

A few of his guys were catching the big black guard dog, messing around with knives and basins, dog barks were everywhere, dog blood was all over the ground, and his wife, being protected by two maids, was standing aside cheering and directing.

What on earth is going on?

What did the big black guard dog do to deserve this? Were they going to bleed it dry and cook it?

Sure dog meat is delicious, but you can’t go around killing your own guard dog!

Guo Luo immediately flared up, took a few swift steps forward, and roared frantically, “What’s all this racket? What’s going on? Today is the cellar opening for selling wine, and instead of being busy at the door, you’re here, slaughtering the dog for meat! Xi Shi, what’s this mischief you’re up to again? You’re pregnant, pregnant women can’t see blood…”

“It’s not my fault!” Beauty Sai was baffled by her husband’s yelling, feeling utterly innocent with her big belly, “I was outside keeping an eye on the guys selling the wine, then suddenly it got chaotic inside, they said there was a ghost in our courtyard…”

“Ghost? What kind of ghost can appear in broad daylight? You’re simply making a mess!” before Beauty Sai could finish, Guo Luo interrupted angrily…
