206: Chapter 205: Becoming a Disciple 206: Chapter 205: Becoming a Disciple Gu Youyou took over the conversation and said, “But the King of Hell isn’t one for rules.
Newly deceased souls must report to the King of Hell within three days of their death to have a chance at reincarnation.
Tonight is the last night, and if Doctor Zhou misses this window, he will lose his chance at reincarnation and beco an unsupported wandering spirit, eventually disappearing.
Yuancheng, you wouldn’t want Doctor Zhou to turn into a wandering spirit, would you?”
Gu Youyou was an atheist.
In order to console the sowhat out-of-control Yuancheng, she had to make herself sound like a fortune-teller, seriously making up stories.
After all, Yuancheng was just a ten-year-old child, and he was dumbfounded by Gu Youyou’s theory, almost completely believing it.
“Really…
really?” Hope shone in his eyes as he looked at Gu Youyou expectantly.
Gu Youyou signaled to Qin Changlin with her eyes, and he hurriedly said, “Yes, tonight, three days ago, was the day Master left us.
If he doesn’t depart today, he won’t be able to reincarnate.
Yuancheng, let Master leave in peace.”
With the assurance of his revered senior brother, Yuancheng finally completely believed it.
He sniffed and wiped away his tears with his sleeve, a trembling smile appearing on his lips as he said, “Alright, Master, Yuancheng won’t cry, Yuancheng won’t be sad.
In his next life, Master must be born into a good family, beco a high official, and enjoy endless glory, wealth, and prestige, never again having to run around day and night, suffering such a tragic death as he did in this life.”
Doctor Zhou had an accident while traveling by carriage at night; it hit a large rock and accidentally tumbled into a ravine.
Who knows if it’s true or false!
But so things aren’t suitable for Yuancheng or Qin Changlin to be involved with.
As the dead have already passed on, why should the living be endangered?
So let’s just take it as truth, Gu Youyou didn’t say anything.
It was getting late.
After kowtowing to Doctor Zhou, Gu Youyou was ready to leave.
Qin Changlin held Gu Youyou’s shoulder as she was about to rise and said, “Sister Youyou, kowtow two more tis.”
Kowtow two more tis?
Gu Youyou didn’t understand what he ant.
Guessing it was a local custom and without overthinking it, out of respect for the deceased, Gu Youyou solemnly kowtowed two more tis.
Qin Changlin stood next to Doctor Zhou’s morial tablet and took out a small gourd the size of a finger, respectfully offering it to Gu Youyou!
Gu Youyou’s eyes flashed with understanding upon seeing the small gourd and realized why he had asked her to kowtow three tis.
Carrying the healer’s duty, this gourd…
Gu Youyou solemnly took the gourd handed to her by Qin Changlin and asked, “Is this…
Master’s wish?”
Qin Changlin nodded and said, “Yes, it was Master’s wish before he passed away, to take you as his disciple.
In terms of age, you are our Second Senior Sister.
I’ve told you before, Master had another disciple, that is our Senior Brother.
He went to Yangguan City to open a dical practice, as Master wished.
Cutting off ties with Master and not coming to the funeral was also Master’s wish.”
Qin Changlin felt puzzled by Doctor Zhou’s decision, but Gu Youyou knew very well.
For reasons unknown, perhaps Doctor Zhou had sensed sothing; he had done this to protect that Senior Brother he had never t.
Receiving the small gourd engraved with the words ‘Carrying the healer’s duty,’ Gu Youyou knelt before Doctor Zhou’s morial tablet and softly called out, “Master.”
“Did Master leave any final instructions before he passed?”
Qin Changlin said, “Master told us not to dishonor the na of the healer.”
He was a healer who valued his reputation.
Even in death, he didn’t forget to admonish his disciples.
Yet, in the end, he t with such a fate.
Gu Youyou let out a wry smile and nodded!
