Chapter 31
When the lady in red was teaching her junior sister a lesson, Zhang Lisheng who had no idea that he was in luck and escaped another trouble had gotten into the crowd and climbed up the long stairs with his wizard worm on his back long ago . He was wandering around the Qingyang Palace with his mother .
The Hunyuan Hall which worshipped the Taiqing Daode Tianzun occupied a wide space of 26 stone columns with the carving of mountain deers, phoenixes, black tortoises, and more spiritual creatures . All of them looked realistic .
The Eight-diagram Pavilion was built on a high-rise platform where the entire thing was joint with mortise and tenon without any wedges or bolts . There was a glazed gourd treasure tripod who stood tall all the way to the pavilion ceiling . The design was simply exquisite .
Apart from that, was the Hall of Three Purities with the most worship statues, the Doulao Hall with the sculpture that looked the most like a female Buddha and the ginormous three platforms in the backyard . These unprecedented cultural landscapes made the young man from a mountain village of limited knowledge to indulge himself .
However, as he stepped into the last courtyard of Qingyang Palace, Zhang Lisheng felt a jolt in his heart all of the sudden, while a piercing, pained sensation came up in his skin all over his body .
Noticing there was something wrong, he stood still immediately ignoring the fact that the crowd was squeezing each other behind him .
He looked around and eventually saw at the end of the courtyard, a wooden sign written with 'Dao follows what is natural' derived from the Dao De Jing before the Hall of Jade Emperor was a single-horned copper goat that was guarding the palace door staring at him maliciously .
The glare really came from the copper goat . In the spur of blankness, all Zhang Lisheng could feel was the copper goat with a rat's ear, cattle's nose, tiger's paws, rabbit's back, dragon's horns, snake's tail, horse's mouth, goat's beard, monkey's neck, chicken's eyes, dog's belly, and pig's rump was getting bigger and bigger .
Eventually, it grew to a size that was similar to the Hall of Jade Emperor that was behind it with its mouth opened wide and sharp teeth showing . It seemed like it was going to devour Zhang Lisheng in one gulp .
Under the force of the single-horned copper goat, Zhang Lisheng frowned and clenched his teeth, without him realizing it . The wizard power in his blood began to flow automatically, while Mountoad which was in his backpack shook its body and faintly releasing a breathing sound for the first time, in the circumstance of not being driven by incantation .
"Baby, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well?" Lili who was next to Zhang Lisheng, asked loudly when she saw her son stood still out of nowhere and soon began to clench his teeth as his whole body was shaking with no reason .
A high-decibel lady's voice was extremely ear-piercing even in a crowded and noisy environment . Moreover, the one who was clamoring was a foreigner .
The tourists in the courtyard were stunned and looked towards the place where the noise came from one after another . A few Westerner tourists among them walked towards them in big steps and asked in concern, "Ma'am, may I know if you need any help?"
"M-my son, h-he became like this all of the sudden while he was walking . I don't -I don't know why he became li-like this…" Lili proceeded to shout in panic, "Doctor, is there any doctor here?"
"Oh God, the merciful God . I beg for your gospel, is there any doctors here…"
The foreign tourists who came up to them first looked at each other and shook their heads one after another in regret and concern .
At that moment, a big Chinese man with a beard all over his face came out of the crowd and shouted at Lili as well as the tourists around with his fluent Mandarin with a mix of stammering English, "Please give them some space . "
"This kid must be having epilepsy, we must give him enough space to breathe . "
"Ma'am, I'm not a doctor . But I'm studying a master's degree in clinical nursing at the Western Sichuan Medical University . "
"Does your kid . . . your son has epilepsy, asthma or medical history of other neurological diseases?"
"If . . . I mean if he does, did you guys bring the emergency medicine of these types of diseases?"
Although clinical nursing was training nurses instead of doctors, this young man who looked more like a robber rather than an intellectual, was a master's degree holder from a medical school after all . Under his call, soon the tourists made a wide space for Zhang Lisheng and Lili .
Regarding the questions that the bearded man had raised, Lili who was in the middle of the space stammered panicky and embarrassedly, "I I-I-I don't-I-I…"
Naturally, the bearded man did not know that this lady who looked like she cared for her son to her bones had just reunited with her child for less than 24 hours . He thought that her brain was not functioning anymore, due to her nervousness .
"Don't panic, Ma'am . Breathe, no, take a deep breath . "
"Your kid is alright . Let me help him remove his backpack and loosen his collar to improve his breathing condition…" Since the bearded man could not get anything informational from the patient's mother, he extended his hand onto Zhang Lisheng's backpack while comforting Lili .
"Stop right there!" A loud scream came from far away . Soon, the tourists who surrounded the space felt a flash before their eyes . Suddenly, a young lady who had arched brows and bright eyes wearing sports attire appeared in the space out of nowhere . She blocked the bearded man's arm .
The medical master degree student was stunned like he was having an illusion . He said blankly, "L-Lady, wh-where did you come from? I-I'm saving him . D-Don't…"
The young lady was the lady with arched brows who had the intention to kill Zhang Lisheng at the Qingyang Palace entrance . Hearing the bearded man's gullible words, she smiled coldly and said with a mean, low voice, "Saving him? Hmph, you should save your worthless life first . "
