Master Zhang brought Ms.Qin and a few constables borrowed from the county magistrate to a medical clinic located at one end of Luoyang City. Due to long disuse, the place was covered in thick layers of dust.
"Indeed, it needs to be taken care of properly..." Master Zhang looked around the clinic and said softly.
"Wait a moment, Master Zhang, I'll go clean up right away," Hua Zhong said as he walked to the door of the clinic with a broom in hand.
"No need, let's clean up together so it goes faster," and then took a broom from Hua Zhong's hand.
Just as they reached the door, they suddenly heard a scratching sound.
Master Zhang and Hua Zhong both stopped in their tracks, exchanging puzzled glances.
"Nobody has lived here for almost a year. How could there still be living creatures inside?"
Although the voice sounded faint, Zhang Zonghan couldn't guarantee that whatever was on the other side of the door wasn't dangerous, so he quickly had Hua Zhong bring four constables over.
The constable entered the defense with a knife in hand, gently placing his hand on the door handle. Then he pushed the door open forcefully.
A cloud of dust was stirred up, causing everyone to cough. In the midst of the dust, a very small figure appeared before everyone's eyes. When the dust had settled, everyone was stunned. Because no matter how you looked at it, the creature was not of this world. It had a large head with only one eye, which exuded an innocent expression. Its short limbs supported its small body, and it had a pair of small wings tightly attached to its back, with a short tail hanging behind.
This creature shows no fear of humans, moving straight towards Master Zhang, yet it doesn't seem to pose any danger. Ms. Qin quickly noticed her attendants assuming defensive positions in front of Master Zhang and hastily said:
" Master Zhang, I know this creature. Although it is a creature from the demon world, it is one of the very few that is not dangerous and is friendly to humans. It's called Boli, and it runs very fast. Some merchants even keep it to transport goods."
After learning that Boli wouldn't harm humans, Master Zhang instructed the constables to put away their weapons.
Boli staggered over to the trapper, raised its head to meet the trapper's gaze, and opened its mouth to let out a whimpering sound.
"It looks like it's hungry. Although creatures of the demon race can go for years without eating, it doesn't mean they don't feel hunger. It's asking us for food!"
Master Zhang quickly asked, "So what does Boli eat? Does it eat the same things as earthly creatures?"
"Yes, Boli only eats grass."
Zhang Zonghan quickly asked Hua Zhong and a constable to go cut some grass.
"However, why would the owner of this clinic abandon Boli like this? And lock him up here."
Zhang Zonghan was a bit puzzled. He squatted down, confirmed that Boli wouldn't attack humans, and then reached out to touch Boli. As soon as he touched Boli's back, Boli lay on his side, revealing his white belly. His front paws kicked back and forth, followed by a purring sound, looking very content. Zhang Zonghan chuckled softly and gently stroked Boli's belly. It was the first time in his life that he had been so intimate with a creature from the demon realm.
"Probably because the owner of this clinic wants to leave, but also realizes that bringing a creature from the demon world with them will inevitably cause panic among the people and may even lead to attacks from others. After all, ordinary people do not know that creatures from the demon world are not dangerous to humans."
Ms.Qin explained after some thought.
"Is that so? It must have been really tough for it, being abandoned for so long at such a young age. By the way, why don't we gather the people and introduce them to this non-aggressive Boli?" Zhang Zonghan suggested as he gently scratched Boli's belly.
"Little lady also thinks it should be done this way, but it's not the time yet. The people have not yet recovered from the pain brought by Dong Zhuo and his gang from the demon world. Revealing Boli at this time might provoke the people to attack it."
"By the way, it seems like you have some knowledge about the demon world, don't you?"
Qin smiled when he heard Zhang Zonghan say this.
"In fact, those who study medicine will inevitably have some understanding of the demon world, because they must seek various materials for medical purposes. Similarly, in order to understand the causes of illness, they must come into contact with various types of knowledge."
"Good, a truly talented doctor from this generation! I truly admire, admire him!"
Zhang Zonghan stood up and clapped repeatedly, causing Ms.Qin to smile apologetically.
"Thank you for the compliment."
"By the way, since you have some understanding of the demon realm, may I ask if you, Ms.Qin, can distinguish between a real corpse and a Ghost Corpse?"
Zhang Zonghan thought about yesterday's events, so he approached Ms.Qin with a glimmer of hope and requested to distinguish between Ghost Corpse and a real corpse.
Ms.Qin seemed a bit puzzled after hearing this.
"Knowing is knowing, but why does Master Zhang want to ask about this?"
"Hmm? Doesn't Ms.Qin know what happened a few days ago?"
"Actually, I only arrived in Luoyang yesterday evening. Although there were still some people on the street, they all seemed to be afraid of outsiders and unwilling to talk to me..."
At this point, Ms.Qin tone sounded a bit low.
Zhang Zonghan then told her about what had happened the previous night and yesterday morning.
"I didn't expect such a thing to happen..." Ms.Qin appeared quite shocked after hearing it. Dong Zhuo is indeed as cunning and ruthless as the rumors say.
"So I just want to know how to distinguish between Ghost Corpse and a regular corpse..."
"Is Master Zhang trying to identify Ghost Corpse and then confront Dong Zhuo and his gang?"
Qin tilted his head after listening, and Zhang Zonghan did not speak, but his eyes showed that he intended to do so.
"I think it's enough to identify the Ghost Corpse, but it's not suitable to confront Dong Zhuo at this time."
Qin continued in a very serious tone:
"Since yesterday morning, Dong Zhuo was able to make both the ministers and the people talk nonsense with their eyes wide open, it also means that if Master Zhang brings Ghost Corpse over, he will encounter the same situation. After all, the method of identification requires knowledge related to the demon realm, which ordinary people and even the ministers may not know. If we try to make Dong Zhuo admit using knowledge that only we and Dong Zhuo's group know, it will definitely repeat what happened yesterday morning."
Zhang Zonghan was stunned after hearing this, he had never thought of this point at all, so he gratefully made a bow to Ms.Qin.
"This... is absolutely right! I was only thinking about avenging Dong Zhuo, without considering so much. Thank you, Ms.Qin, for the reminder."
"By the way, why did Ms.Qin come to Luoyang to find me?" Zhang Zonghan was a little curious, thinking that his reputation shouldn't be so great as to be known even outside of Luoyang City.
"Oh, it's like this. Some time ago, an old man named Zhu Jianping found me and said that Luoyang City was going to face a disaster, and only our family of medical practitioners could help. He asked me to come to Luoyang to find Master Zhang and told me to set off immediately due to the long journey, so as not to miss the important matter."
"Zhu, Zhu Jianping?!" Zhang Zonghan took a sharp breath after hearing this, not hiding his surprised expression at all.
"Yes, Zhu Jianping, he... what's wrong with him?" Ms.Qin was puzzled by Master Zhang's sudden expression.
"How long ago did he tell you that there would be a disaster in Luoyang?"
"It was four days ago. I set off immediately after promising him, and I only arrived in Luoyang last night. When I first entered Luoyang, I already had a feeling that something bad had happened..."
"Ah, I see. If Zhu Jianping is not a bad person, then he truly deserves to be called a master strategist..." Zhang Zonghan nodded, unable to help but admire Zhu Jianping, whom he had only met once.
"I'm really sorry, but there was a delay due to some unexpected circumstances on the way, and when I arrived, I found that the incident had already occurred."
Qin seemed a little embarrassed as he rubbed his hands back and forth, and said softly.
"It's okay, it's okay. There are still things I can help with. Even if I don't go to find Dong Zhuo, I still need to know how to identify Ghost Corpse. After all, what happened the night before last could happen again. We need to be prepared."
"Indeed, Master Zhang is right. I'm willing to help."
"However, let's first tidy up this clinic so that you have a place to practice medicine and live."
At this point, Hua Zhong and his followers brought over a small cart filled with a lot of grass.
Originally lying on the ground, Boli quickly stood up after smelling the grass, eagerly rushing to the side of the car and opening its mouth to pounce on the grass, making a sound of gnawing on something. Because it ate too quickly, it choked and coughed a few times."
"Haha, look at how quickly it's eating, it seems quite hungry!"
"Being hungry after being locked up for so long is only natural."
"Let Boli eat here by himself. Let's quickly clean up this place first."
After saying that, Master Zhang walked into the uninhabited clinic with a broom.
