209 Ghost Phagosome Technique (1/2)

Mo Wen cast a glance at the man on the sickbed. He frowned slightly; something was off.

”My father, Xu Dongkui. Can you see if his sickness still can be treated?”

Xu Qianqian walked up to the sickbed and said somewhat nervously. She was also not certain whether Mo Wen could or could not treat her father's illness. After all, she had visited hospitals large and small all over the country, and none of them could treat her father.

However, she knew that Mo Wen was no ordinary person. He could do things that others couldn't, so she had always had high hopes for Mo Wen.

Although this father of hers wasn't too competent, since her elder brother passed away, she was left with very few blood relatives. If she lost everyone, then what would she do in the future?

”He can be treated.”

Mo Wen said plainly. He cast a glance over the man on the sickbed and, without even touching him, came to a conclusion.

”Really?”

Xu Qianqian grabbed hold of Mo Wen's elbow, saying emotionally. She didn't even bother to think why Mo Wen had not even checked and yet could treat her father's illness, because she believed, if Mo Wen said he could, that he definitely could.

”Hmm.”

Mo Wen nodded his head. Xu Dongkui's illness couldn't be considered an illness, but if a normal person came across something like this, it was indeed hard to deal with.

From Xu Dongkui's body, he discovered something interesting.

A ghost!

In Xu Dongkui's body, there was actually a ghost feeding off him. The ghost was not strong or large, but sucked the qi and blood of Xu Dongkui. By absorbing the essence of human qi and blood to sustain itself, the ghost would not dissipate.

Clearly, now Xu Dongkui had become the ghost's nourishment. Every day it was consuming his life essence. Once time went on, he would naturally approach death.

Although now Xu Dongkui was just in a unconscious state, he was not more than a month away from death. If Mo Wen could not exorcise the ghost, he would soon become a shrivelled corpse.

”Interesting.”

Mo Wen lips curled into a grin.

”What is it?”

Xu Qianqian asked nervously.

”Your father has something unclean in his body.” Mo Wen glanced at Xu Qianqian and said.

”Something unclean?” Xu Qianqian looked incredulously at Mo Wen.

”The thing is consuming your father's life everyday. As time goes on, your father will die. However, what is interesting is that the thing cannot live in a human's body. It can only do so by going through a medium. And the medium can only be put in by a human.”

Mo Wen said, seeming to be implying more.

Obviously, the ghost in Xu Dongkui's body was planted there by someone else on purpose, clearly with malicious intent.

Otherwise an ordinary person, full of qi and blood and Yang Qi could not be invaded by a ghost. That is why such a feeble ghost could not proactively live in the body of humans.

Also once the ghost was exorcised from the body, if it couldn't find a host in three day's time, then it would dissipate from the world, disappearing into a wisp of smoke.

Only those with other intentions would use unique methods to preserve the ghost, making it possible to store it away for long periods of time.

Regarding ghosts, Mo Wen still had a deeper understanding of them. In his previous world, when he was still the Miracle Physician, he already knew that some people would create these unclean things; once people were contaminated, they would be in grave danger. He also naturally knew many methods to treat and defend against the ghosts.

But he wasn't sure why these things existed. After all, the world was so vast; there were many strange things. The fact that he did not understand a lot of things was very normal.

Legend has it that there was a class of shamans that communicated with ghosts. They could use ghosts to bring harm to people. Of course, they could use ghosts for many other things.

However, shamans were a rare sight. Even from the experience of that world's Mo Wen, he had not met many. As for how they feed the ghosts and how they used ghosts to harm the lives of others, it was unknown to him.

Like in this world, there were legends of ghosts and zombies, such as the Ghost Town of Fengdu, the Walking Corpses of Xiangxi and the Mao Mountain Taoists that specialized in capturing ghosts.

It seemed on Earth there were occupations similar to shamans. These people did not socialize with people, instead communicating with the dead.

After he entered the mysterious foggy mountains and came in contact with the world of cultivators did he have a clearer understanding of the existence of these things.

In the world of cultivators, humans had three finer spirits and several baser instincts, with their bodies serving as vessels. If one had both, one was a human; if one had only one of the two, one was a ghost.

Although Mo Wen could not Cultivate, he knew quite a lot about the concepts of Cultivation and the mysteries of the human body. With a deeper level of understanding, the way he viewed things was naturally vastly different.

He knew that in the world of cultivators, there was a type of cultivator called the ghost cultivator. They used ghosts or zombies to practice. For this type of people, either them or the ghosts and zombies, only one side could survive. The difficulty level for their practice was far beyond ordinary people. Because of this, the ghost cultivator could be said to be an Undead. Practicing with ghosts and zombies while still being alive was forbidden by the heavens and abhorred by the heavens.
