"That wasn't a massage technique you used just now."
"How exactly did you cure him?"
Fang Qingrou glanced at the elated Ning Juan, then pulled Qin Xuan outside the ward.
How could Qin Xuan admit it directly?
He smiled gently and denied it, "Of course it was a massage technique!"
"And it's an ancestral one."
"Zhang Xun had a blood clot lump in his lumbar spine that your hospital couldn't detect, but I could feel it."
"By using the ancestral massage technique to smooth out the blood clot, his condition naturally improved."
However, Fang Qingrou didn't buy it at all.
She was a professional doctor and had her own judgment.
"I am Zhang Xun's attending physician, and I know his condition best!"
"In his lumbar nerve area, let alone a visible lump, there wasn't even a slightly viscous blood clot."
"So your explanation just now simply doesn't hold water."
After speaking, Fang Qingrou snorted coldly.
"Don't think you can fool me!"
"If you don't tell me the real situation with Zhang Xun, I won't let you take him away!"
Qin Xuan: "..."
Seeing her serious expression, Qin Xuan could only reveal Zhang Xun's situation.
He just didn't know if she would accept his bizarre explanation.
"Alright," Qin Xuan shrugged helplessly. "Actually, he was invaded by a very strange, sinister energy."
"That energy coalesced into a mass, eventually compressing his nerves and causing paralysis in his lower body."
"What I did just now was to temporarily dispel the Yin energy within him."
"Without the pressure from the Yin energy, he naturally recovered."
"So that's how it is."
Fang Qingrou seemed to understand after hearing this.
Qin Xuan, on the other hand, was a bit surprised.
"You believe me?"
"Yes," Fang Qingrou nodded.
"Although I don't know what this sinister energy you speak of is, as long as it compressed the spinal nerves, it could potentially cause Zhang Xun's condition."
"The cause of the illness is not an issue, and the logic of your treatment method is also sound."
"If that's the case, why wouldn't I believe you?"
With Fang Qingrou settled, Zhang Xun's discharge procedures went very smoothly.
After all, the true cause of his illness had been found, and there was no point in staying in the hospital after the gathering.
Before long, the four of them had packed Zhang Xun's belongings.
They called Zhang Xun's wife, who was washing clothes in the hospital, and the five of them set off for Zhang Xun's home.
"Qin Xuan, I really don't know how to thank you enough this time."
On the cruiser, Zhang Xun and his wife kept thanking Qin Xuan.
It wasn't just because Qin Xuan had cured Zhang Xun's legs, but also because Qin Xuan had arranged decent jobs for both of them.
Zhang Xun was strong and healthy, but he had been working on construction sites, which was not only hard but also not very lucrative.
So Qin Xuan directly arranged for him to be a security guard at Ya Qin Company.
Although the Guojin Center had its own security, Ya Qin was large, and there should be someone at the entrance responsible for emergencies and resolving issues.
As for Zhang Xun's wife, Tian Lina, Qin Xuan arranged a cleaning job for her.
She could earn several thousand yuan a month by helping to wipe tables and sweep the floor when needed.
This way, their combined monthly salary would be over ten thousand, plus year-end bonuses, which would be more than enough to support their family of six.
"There's no need to thank me. We grew up together, and no matter what happens, if I can help, I will definitely help."
"As for your legs, they haven't been completely cured yet."
"After this gathering, I still need to find the source of the Yin energy."
"The source of the Yin energy..."
As soon as the Yin energy in his body was mentioned, Zhang Xun couldn't help but shiver.
"If I had to say, it must have been at the construction site north of our building."
"That night, dozens of us encountered supernatural events of varying degrees."
"For example, I saw some children carrying bricks we had placed and running around."
"One of my coworkers said he saw some children throwing stones at him from a distance."
"But as soon as we got close to them, they would suddenly disappear, leaving only the bricks and pebbles that were in their hands!"
"It felt like encountering ghosts!"
"Ghosts? And all children?"
Qin Xuan, who was driving, keenly caught the key points in Zhang Xun's narration.
He quickly asked Zhang Xun to search online if there were any orphanages or schools nearby.
The results Zhang Xun found were chilling.
"In modern times, there was indeed an orphanage in that area."
"But after the war ended and the Japanese invaders fled, the entire orphanage was burned down."
"From that time on, there were some rumors of hauntings in that place, which only gradually subsided after the founding of the Dragon Country."
"The orphanage was leveled and rebuilt on its original site."
"The rebuilt orphanage was still not peaceful."
"Besides the usual ghostly fires drifting around, according to interviews with locals, there were also frequent and tragic cries emanating from there."
"Screams of torment!"
"It wasn't until more than a decade ago that the orphanage was completely abandoned again and acquired by its current owner."
"But to this day, rumors of hauntings persist in that place..."
Zhang Xun read the article on his phone, his heart growing more fearful.
By the end, he turned off his phone, his whole body filled with lingering fear.
"Oh my god, this is too terrifying!"
"The article said that before we went, several batches of workers responsible for building the houses had been there."
"Not long after, without exception, they all had problems."
"Either their mental state became abnormal, or their physical functions were damaged like mine!"
"No wonder the owner of this place only hired illegal workers; it turns out all the local workers knew about the strangeness of the place!"
"Damn it!"
"If I had known that place was haunted all along, I wouldn't have gone there even if you beat me to death!"
"This black-hearted Wang Ermazi!"
"I'm going to settle the score with him!"
In the back seat, Zhang Xun was furious with the foreman.
Qin Xuan, however, remained silent, pondering the events behind the article.
Master Father had once said that extremely Yin places could be innate or acquired.
Innate extremely Yin places required various geographical conditions.
For example, being located at the Yin eye of a natural formation, or possessing a Yin extreme in Feng Shui due to special geographical features.
Acquired extremely Yin places, compared to innate ones, were easier to form.
Besides artificially setting up formations to gather Yin energy, mass graves or burial grounds with a large number of deaths could also gather Yin to form an extreme.
If the article was true, the place where Zhang Xun worked as an illegal laborer should belong to an acquired extremely Yin place.
And the sinister energy that Zhang Xun and the others were contaminated with was transformed from the resentment of the orphans who had died in the orphanage.
