Chapter 231 Feeling the Pulse
"Are you saying that Madam is back?" Li Daoxuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect Madam Yao to come back at this time. He thought that Madam would stay away from this house to avoid disaster.

"Young Taoist priest, when he comes to the mansion, there must be someone to receive him. So I asked a coachman on the street to send a letter to the lady. When the lady learned of your arrival, she hurried back." Qian Bo smiled, handed over a handkerchief, then turned around and walked towards the courtyard, his shoulders straight. In a trance, Li Daoxuan seemed to see an outstanding person, talking and laughing, still young.

Looking down at the handkerchief in my hand, I felt it was very soft and delicate. The handkerchief was finely crafted. It was probably not something that ordinary people would use for wiping. Instead, it looked like a gift and was quite valuable.

But Li Daoxuan was surprised that Qian Bo suddenly gave him a handkerchief.

Li Daoxuan looked at the handkerchief in his hand, raised his head in confusion, but saw that Qian Bo had walked a long way away. He put away the handkerchief, chased him a few steps, and followed Qian Bo into the yard.

After entering the yard, I saw that the lights were on in the hall not far away. Several maids hurried past carrying things and did not notice the two people coming.

When they reached the door, the maid guarding the door saw Li Daoxuan, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she smiled at him and said, "Master Li is finally here, my wife is waiting inside the house."

After saying this, he didn't care about Qian Bo who was walking in front, and ran into the house to pass on the message.

Without any order from the master, Li Daoxuan could only stand outside and wait. He tried to see Qian Bo's expression, but all he saw was his calmness.

Qian Bo didn't seem to care about being ignored, as if he was just a small-time servant in the Yao family.

However, when Li Daoxuan thought of Yao Nianchun, with whom he had been chatting and laughing, and then looked at Qian Bo in front of him, he felt a little dazed for a moment. Both of them were so real that it was difficult for Li Daoxuan to tell who was real and who was fake.

This was quite strange. He had tried to recite the Heart Purification Mantra to break the delusion before, but it was of no use.

If it is hallucination, the Purifying Mantra should be useful. After all, the Eight Great Mantras of Taoism are not named in vain.

These eight mantras are commonly used by Taoists, and they are: purify the mind, purify the mouth, purify the body, pacify the land, golden light, purify the heaven and earth, bless with incense, and mysterious mantra.

These eight great mantras are commonly used in rituals and are also considered to be a method commonly practiced by ascetics after stepping into the Xuanmen stage. They are universal and can be paired with talismans, seals, magic spells, secrets, and magical instruments. They do not require specific forms like certain methods. It is precisely because of this that the eight great mantras can be widely spread and used by most Xuanmen masters.

When Bai Li of Emei chopped off the hairy zombie's head, the magic spell she used was the Golden Light Magic Spell. Li Daoxuan also often used these eight magic spells, mostly for fighting and breaking delusions.

Therefore, this Heart Purifying Mantra was useless, and he couldn't help but doubt that the people he saw were real people.

Whether it is Yao Nianchun or Qian Bo, they are all real people, not ghosts and monsters who create strange appearances to confuse people's minds.

This was also the case, and Li Daoxuan was even more puzzled.

Qian Bo said that Yao Nianchun died young, and Yao Nianchun said that Qian Bo had died long ago.

The two people are talking in different ways. Who is right and who is wrong?
Or maybe there are other subtle details that I haven't discovered yet. One of Qian Bo and Yao Nianchun must be extraordinary.

After having dinner with Yao Nianchun before, he thought Qian Bo would be the variable, but now he sees Madam Yao again, so could it be that Yao Nianchun is the variable?

But the food was eaten and the wine was drunk, and Li Daoxuan felt that it could not be fake.

If this was an illusion, and could deceive Li Daoxuan's senses and make him think that he was really eating, then he would have no choice but to admit that he was not as good as the other party and admit defeat.

To be able to reach this level and possess such magic skills must have meant that one has reached the realm of a terrestrial immortal, something that even a heavenly master cannot achieve.

Just as he was thinking, Qian Bo beside him suddenly said, "Little Taoist priest, be careful when you see Madam later. Don't mention the name Yao Nianchun. If Madam hears it, she will definitely be sad even after many years."

"I remember." Li Daoxuan nodded and told Qian Bo that he would not mention this name.

After all, he didn't know whether it was true or not. If it was true, he would have made a big mistake.

He didn't want to hurt people. "Then I'll leave first. There are still some things waiting for me to do in this courtyard." Qian Bo smiled, turned around and walked away slowly after he finished speaking.

When his figure disappeared in the yard, the maid in the house also hurried out.

"Master Li, Madam is calling you in."

"Please lead the way, sister." Li Daoxuan bowed to the maid.

"I'll bring it to you right away. Please follow me, Master Li." Seeing that he was so polite and reasonable, and also good-looking, the maid couldn't help but like him, so she hurriedly walked in front of him to lead the way and lead him into the house.

When Li Daoxuan saw Madam Yao again, she still looked the same, but compared to the time when he saw her at Baiyun Temple, she now looked a little more haggard.

Madam Yao sat in the front hall, drinking tea served by her maid.

His clothes were simple, not as glamorous as those of most wealthy people of that period.

When she saw Li Daoxuan coming in, she smiled gently, waved her hand towards him, and said softly, "I haven't seen you, Taoist Priest, for a long time. You have grown a lot taller."

"Hello, Madam." After Li Daoxuan bowed, he was no longer estranged from Madam Yao. He sat down at Madam Yao's invitation and replied with a smile, "It has been several months since I last saw you. Daoxuan has grown a lot taller, but you are still young, but you don't look very well."

"Alas," Mrs. Yao sighed softly upon hearing this, and covered her eyebrows with her hands, pretending to be tired.

Li Daoxuan saw her like this, so he stepped forward and said, "Madam, I see that you don't look good, and you seem to have a yang deficiency. Daoxuan knows a little bit of medical skills, so I can take your pulse."

"Okay, thank you for your help." Seeing Li Daoxuan say this, Mrs. Yao was a little surprised, but she did not resist. She readily agreed and asked him to come forward and take her pulse.

Li Daoxuan asked the maid to cover Madam Yao's wrist with a thin silk towel, then Li Daoxuan stretched out three fingers of his right hand and gently placed them on Madam Yao's wrist through the towel. He closed his eyes slightly and looked carefully. He found that Madam Yao's pulse was weak and her qi and blood were not strong. She might have not slept well for a long time and was in a place with heavy yin energy, so she felt weak.

"How is it?" Mrs. Yao asked curiously.

"Madam, your body is weak, which is the result of yang deficiency. You should rest well on weekdays and don't overthink."

"I can't do this just because I want to. I don't want to have a good night's sleep." Madam Yao said with a wry smile, "But you should know my difficulties. Such a strange thing happened at home. I can't sleep or eat well."

"Please rest assured, madam. Master asked me to come here to help you resolve this disaster." Li Daoxuan said seriously. This sentence made Madam Yao feel a little relieved. She looked much better. With a smile in her eyes, she nodded at him.

"Thank you for your help. Don't call me Madam. Just call me Aunt Yao. Your master and I are old acquaintances. We are family and should not have different opinions."

Li Daoxuan was speechless after hearing this, and couldn't help but admire the old Taoist.

I didn't expect that this old Taoist had old acquaintances everywhere, even the wife of the Yao family in Yangzhou. No wonder Mrs. Yao went straight to the old Taoist. It turned out that the two of them were old acquaintances.

I wonder how many romantic debts the old Taoist left behind when he was traveling around the world.

For some reason, Li Daoxuan always felt that the Taoist priest went up the mountain not because he hated the affairs of the underworld, but perhaps to avoid romantic debts and avoid getting into trouble.

The next time he sees the Taoist priest, he will definitely gossip with him.

Thinking about this for a long time, Li Daoxuan bowed to Madam Yao and thanked her: "In this case, Daoxuan will respectfully obey your order. Aunt Yao, you can also call me Daoxuan, and don't call me Taoist anymore."

"Okay, okay, I'm happy too. From now on, you will be my nephew." Mrs. Yao said with a smile.
