Chapter 279: Ghost Hand Enters the Palace
After the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor entered the palace, the Emperor summoned him to the Chuigong Palace.
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor cursed inwardly while kneeling down and kowtowed in a perfunctory manner.
[Damn it! Apart from the tablets of my master and my parents, I haven’t kowtowed to a living person in many years. Today, I will treat you as a human tablet that is about to die! ]
"Old sir, please stand up and take a seat." The emperor was very amiable.
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor sat on a soft cushion, drinking the fragrant tea bestowed by the emperor, thinking happily: [I will show off to Master when I return. When she was summoned, it was thunder and rain, but when I, the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor, was summoned, it was warm sunshine and spring breeze. This treatment is much better than Master's! ]
The emperor looked at the ugly and funny Ghost Hand Poison Doctor, who had no idea how to stand or sit, and thought to himself: [All the extraordinary people in the world have extraordinary and magnificent appearances, unruly temperaments, and free and unrestrained behavior. The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor is even more different from ordinary people.]
The emperor smiled and asked, "Mr. Ghost Hand, I heard that your medical skills are amazing and that you can easily cure many incurable diseases. I wonder who taught you, old sir?"
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor took a sip of tea to moisten his throat before putting down the teacup. He tried hard to make his expression less proud and arrogant, and stroked a few of his gray whiskers with his hand while replying calmly and modestly.
"Your Majesty, I, Guishou, am a man of extraordinary talent. I have loved studying medicine since I was young. I did have several teachers when I was young, but I have never worshipped a master who taught me medicine.
However, although the medical skills I learned since childhood were somewhat diverse, with my extremely intelligent talent, my tireless and diligent determination to study and my unyielding perseverance, I have achieved some success in medical skills.
"Young Master Zhao Wuji's congenital disease and Cao Bin's mother's blindness were both brought back to life by my magic hands."
The emperor could not help but admire this ugly and funny old man. He was really gifted. I could offend anyone in the world, but I had better not offend the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor who had magical medical skills. People who eat grains will get sick. Maybe one day I will need this old man with magical medical skills to save my life.
"Mr. Ghost Hand is truly a rare genius in the world. He has learned his miraculous medical skills without any teacher. It is truly admirable." The emperor praised sincerely.
Ghost Hand Poison Doctor Mei raised her two short s-shaped eyebrows and held her chest high. "What is a gifted person? Those who appear in a hundred years don't count. Only those who appear in a thousand years can be called gifted people.
For example, Li Yuanba who was born with supernatural powers, Xiang Yu who was invincible, Li Guang who was an expert archer, Wu Daozi who was a master painter, Li Bai who was an immortal poet, and this old man’s pair of ghost hands…” The ghost-handed poison doctor became more and more arrogant as he spoke, spitting all over the place, and finally the examples came to himself.
The emperor was already a little impatient when he saw the boastful and arrogant Ghost Hand Poison Doctor. He had seen people who were thick-skinned and boastful, but he had never seen anyone so thick-skinned and boastful to such an extent.
No, there was one. When that silly princess boasted about her unparalleled beauty, she behaved like this too.
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor boasted and bragged for a long time, but when he saw that no one responded to his request, he became dissatisfied.
After he stopped talking, he didn't dare to be rude to the emperor, and glared at the eunuchs who were serving him! He picked up the teacup and drank it all in one breath, moistening his dry throat.
"Mr. Ghost Hand, there is a eunuch in the Imperial Kitchen who has intestinal abscess. The imperial doctors all said that he would not live for more than three days. I want to see Mr. Ghost Hand's miraculous healing skills with my own eyes."
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor wiped the water stains from his mouth and said nonchalantly, "No problem! It's just an intestinal abscess. The apprentices I taught can treat it.
If you want to see, Your Majesty, I will show you how these ghost hands can bring back the dead."
"That's very good." The emperor winked at Wang Jie'en beside him.
"Mr. Ghost Hand, please come in!" Wang Jie'en invited respectfully and politely.
Wang Jie'en bent forward and led the way. The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor, with his hands behind his back and his chest and belly sticking out, followed him to a spacious room not far away.
A eunuch was lying on the bed, sweating profusely from the pain and groaning uncontrollably.
The two young eunuchs who were watching over him knelt down to greet Wang Jie'en. Wang Jie'en waved his hand and asked them to step aside and serve.
The ghost-handed poison doctor stepped forward and picked up the eunuch who was groaning in pain in his stomach. He turned him over to lie on his back, then reached out to his lower right abdomen, pressed it, and lifted it.
"Ah!..." The eunuch finally couldn't help screaming in pain, and beads of sweat as big as beans hung all over his pale face.
"Yes, it's acute intestinal abscess. It won't kill you. You will recover after a small operation." The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor said lightly after the diagnosis.
The eunuch who was sentenced to death by the imperial doctors must have a high status in the palace. Upon hearing this, his eyes were suddenly filled with a strong desire to survive: "Please save me, old sir!"
Wang Jie'en smiled faintly, "Chief Steward Qi, this is Mr. Ghost Hand Poison Doctor, who was specially summoned by the Emperor to the palace to treat you."
Chief Steward Qi burst into tears of gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great grace and for considering my humble life so highly."
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor curled his lips in disdain, "It was me who saved your life. Your emperor was just verifying my medical skills and using you as a test subject. Look how much he moved a fool like you."
The emperor also walked into the spacious room under the protection of more than a dozen master palace guards.
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor curled his lips again, "You are afraid of death, but you still have to watch. With more than a dozen guards protecting you, I can kill you if I want. Fortunately, I came prepared. This set of surgical equipment carefully made by Shen Qiu is just right to blindfold you."
The emperor sat aside and watched with his own eyes as the ghost-handed poison doctor took out one strange surgical instrument after another from his cloth bag. The imperial doctors who were ordered to watch opened their eyes wide.
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor took a scalpel and measured the belly of the naked Manager Qi. It was obvious that he ate a lot of food with such a big belly. If he made the hole a little bigger, it would be more convenient for me to work, right?
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor called an imperial physician to be his assistant, "You, come over here and help me."
The imperial physician took a few steps forward in surprise and said, "Thank you, Senior Ghost Hand, for your support."
Everyone held their breath in silence. In the spacious room, one could hear a pin drop. The scalpel in the hands of the ghostly poison doctor steadily cut open the fat white belly of Eunuch Qi.
: "Hemostat,...it's those two, idiots..." The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor cursed and instructed the imperial physician who was serving as his assistant.
The imperial physician was so nervous that sweat covered his forehead. He followed the instructions in a hurry and handed over the strange equipment that he had never seen before.
The ghost-handed poison doctor was pulling out a bunch of bloody intestines from the bloody abdominal cavity. The room was filled with a pungent smell of blood. The people nearby were terrified and tried hard to hold back the nausea of vomiting.
After finding the rotten appendix, the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor skillfully cut it off with a knife, then held it out and shook it in front of several imperial doctors, saying, "See? Acute intestinal carbuncle is caused by this rotten appendix. Cut it off and everything will be fine."
After saying that, he threw the bloody rotten intestine at the feet of several imperial doctors and said, "Take a closer look and feast your eyes."
An imperial physician suppressed his nausea and picked up the rotten intestines at his feet. He looked at them carefully and quickly passed them to his colleagues around him to feast their eyes.
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor sutured several layers of the wound with his deft hands. After cutting the last thread, he straightened up and curled his lips in disgust.
"Okay, it's done! I don't know how much this fat guy eats every day. It has caused me to spend a lot of effort."
The emperor who was sitting beside him asked in surprise, "Mr. Ghost Hand, is the acute intestinal abscess cured so soon?"
The ghost-handed poison doctor took off his bloodstained gloves, removed the mask covering his face, and said carelessly: "Your Majesty, it's rare that you don't know how to do it, but it's not difficult to do it. This acute intestinal abscess is the easiest minor operation. If it weren't for the fat guy's thick intestines, it would have been done in half an incense stick of time."
Several imperial doctors looked at Senior Ghost Hand Poison Doctor with shock and respect. This acute intestinal abscess, which was a fatal disease, was cured so easily in the hands of Senior Ghost Hand!
The emperor was also shocked and filled with emotion. He stood up and looked at the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor, and said sincerely: "Mr. Ghost Hand is really a miracle doctor of the time. How many people in this world have lost their lives to acute intestinal carbuncle? If Mr. Ghost Hand can pass on this miraculous medical skill to other doctors, it will benefit countless people in the world.
Mr. Ghost Hand, is this possible?"
Several imperial doctors were also excited, looking at the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor with eager eyes.
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor waved his hand generously, "No problem, these imperial doctors witnessed the operation today, I will give them a special lesson later to explain it in detail. However, let me be frank, I can teach you but I don't guarantee that you will learn it! If any idiot can't learn it, don't blame me for not teaching you hard, you can only blame yourself for being stupid."
No one who has special skills will easily teach others, but Ghost Hand Master is willing to teach selflessly. Several imperial doctors quickly bowed deeply to Ghost Hand Poison Doctor and expressed their gratitude in unison.
After having a delicious royal banquet and giving a lesson to the imperial doctors in the palace with a domineering attitude, the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor went home triumphantly with a carriage full of rare treasures as a reward.
