Ye Gui looked at the man standing behind the fence again, he was extremely terrified.

”You can see it too?” The man leaning against the corner of the next cell said, ”He has a deep grievance. He thinks he's wronged.”

Ye Gui saw that the ghost man's eyes were bleeding.

”Let's go, let's go. Why should we stay here …” Then, Ye Gui heard the sound of chanting, and the man's ghost disappeared.

Ye Gui held onto the wooden pillar next to the fence as he looked at this strange matter. After a while, the person leaning on the wall slowly moved to the other side of the fence, just a wooden pillar away from Ye Gui.

His legs were broken, and he crawled over from the corner. Both of his legs were badly mutilated, black and red, and now, Ye Gui knew where the smell of rotting flesh came from.

The Lama wasn't young anymore, and there was no beard on his face. From the hair on his head, Ye Gui could tell that the Lama had been here for a long time. Although Qing Dynasty promote lamaism, but Tibetan Buddhism did not spread in Jiangnan, the scope of Red Church activities mostly in the north, Suzhou rarely see the Lama.

Ye Gui asked the Lama: ”Did Master also commit a death sentence?”

”I guess so.” ”Sooner or later, they will not let me go.”

Ye Gui had the thought of taking pity on a fellow sufferer.

The Lama suddenly asked, ”Are you a doctor?”

Ye Gui nodded his head, ”Yes, it's a pity that she died.”

”Tell me about it.” The lama asked Ye Gui.

Ye Gui told her about the symptoms of Madam Zhou's hygropyrexia two months ago and how he treated her. It was a pity that two months later, Madame Zhou had still died. Steward Zhou had been angered by his mediocre medical skills, so he had denounced him.

The Lama thought for a moment and said, ”To tell you the truth, I know a bit about medicine.”

Ye Gui said: ”You can hear that what I am chanting about is the Inner Canon, I knew that you definitely know medicine.” Then he told her about his treatment of Madame Zhou.

”Madame Zhou was not killed by you.” The lama listened and said, ”You were right about the injection and the medication.”

Ye Gui said helplessly: ”It seems that my life has ended here, my family has suffered, and there is no one who will uphold justice for me.”

The Lama looked at Ye Gui and said, ”Give your hand over for me to see.”

Ye Gui listened to him and extended his hand out. The Lama held Ye Gui's hand and looked at it from head to toe before he said to Ye Gui: ”We Tibetan Medicine have a story, do you want to hear it?”

”If you stay in this prison, what else can you do,” Ye Gui laughed bitterly, ”There's no harm in listening to you, since you and I are both people who are on the verge of death in this death prison.”
