Su Jiu followed the attendant and soon arrived at Carriage 3.

At this moment, Carriage 3 was already crowded with people.

Su Jiu knew at a glance that these were onlookers.

"Everyone, please move aside, the doctor is here." The attendant had a loud voice, and soon a path was cleared for everyone.

The young intern doctor, led by the attendant, entered a soft sleeper compartment.

Su Jiu followed closely behind. Since he had come this far, he wanted to see what was going on. If he had the confidence to treat the patient, he wouldn't mind lending a hand.

Upon entering the compartment, a middle-aged man, around forty years old, was lying on the soft sleeper.

His face was pale, as if he were seriously ill, and his breathing was rapid. Although the middle-aged man was unconscious, large beads of sweat were pouring from his forehead, soaking the sheets.

This soft sleeper in Carriage 3 was the highest class on the entire train, equipped with air conditioning. In this late summer season, the compartment was not particularly hot, but at this moment, the middle-aged man looked as if he were under the scorching sun, drenched in sweat.

Seeing this, Su Jiu frowned.

Yang Lin was a graduate of the medical university this year, having been assigned to the hospital for less than three months. This was his first leave after starting work, and he never expected to encounter such a situation.

To be honest, Yang Lin, who had just graduated from school, had never actually treated a patient. Moreover, he specialized in surgery and had no idea how to handle such an acute case.

In fact, when he stood up, he already had a bit of regret.

However, as a recent graduate, Yang Lin still had a sense of enthusiasm. No one had stood up after the attendant called for so long; he couldn't just stand by and do nothing, even though he was just an intern.

Yang Lin approached the bed nervously. The middle-aged man's breathing was very rapid, and his face was pale, indicating a problem with his lungs and difficulty breathing.

Yang Lin was hesitant. To be honest, this was his first time truly treating a patient. This middle-aged man was his first real patient.

During his internship, he had only assisted in the hospital and had never diagnosed a patient.

"It must be a lung problem, but here on the train, there are no instruments to diagnose. What should I do if there's a lung problem?" Yang Lin's mind was in chaos.

"Doctor, how is it? Can my husband be saved?"

Yang Lin stood in front of the middle-aged man for about three minutes without moving. The one speaking was the man's wife, who looked to be in her early thirties. If not for her current anxious state, she would have been quite attractive.

At that moment, Yang Lin was recalling the content he had learned in school. The woman's words suddenly disrupted his thoughts, and his mind became completely confused.

Yang Lin's eyes also showed a hint of anxiety.

"I'll take over!"

At that moment, a voice suddenly reached Yang Lin's ears, like a lifeline, instantly easing his tension.

"Okay!" Without hesitation, Yang Lin agreed.

Only after he spoke did Yang Lin realize what he had done.

Su Jiu took a few steps forward. He had already seen the entire situation.

This young doctor was indeed an intern, with no experience and somewhat panicked.

One reason Su Jiu decided to take over was that he had already determined that the middle-aged man was not ill but had been affected by a malevolent force.

In simpler terms, he was "possessed."

This condition, known as "possession" in rural areas, or being "blocked," is quite common. Generally, those affected have pale faces, rapid breathing, and are unconscious.

However, it is not very serious. If the person is in good health and not a child or an elderly person, they can usually recover.

For children or the elderly, a common rural remedy is "cupping" or pressing the philtrum to stimulate the brain and bring the person back to consciousness.

In rural areas, this condition is believed to be caused by being possessed by a wandering spirit. After the person regains consciousness, a geomancer or a respected elder in the village is called to retrieve the soul.

In feng shui, this is actually a disruption of the person's aura by an accidental malevolent force, causing instability in the soul.

Su Jiu was very clear that if he did not intervene, the middle-aged man might not survive, as his constitution was too weak.

To be more precise, his yang energy was too weak.

In feng shui, there are many forms of malevolent forces, such as road conflicts, door conflicts, sharp angles, reverse bow forces, and fiery forces, among others.

What surprised Su Jiu was that the malevolent force in the middle-aged man's body was very strange, only affecting the area above his lungs, with no trace of it below the lungs.

This puzzled Su Jiu.

Although dealing with malevolent forces was a minor issue for Su Jiu, the cause of this specific pattern intrigued him.

These thoughts flashed through Su Jiu's mind in an instant.

Su Jiu approached and examined the middle-aged man's pupils. Fortunately, his soul was still stable and had not been significantly affected.

Su Jiu did not immediately act to dispel the malevolent force.

In today's society, Su Jiu was well aware that many people still did not believe in feng shui, considering it feudal superstition.

Su Jiu also knew that his current identity was that of a doctor.

This was the best cover.

There was no need to reveal something that would be misunderstood. He just needed to treat the middle-aged man.

Of course, this required a method.

If you were in this situation and suddenly took out a talisman and stuck it on the middle-aged man's forehead, people would think you were a charlatan.

Even if it was the fastest and most effective treatment.

Su Jiu, of course, would not do that. Being looked at like a monster was not a pleasant experience.

Su Jiu performed a series of medical checks, examining the pupils, opening the mouth, and taking the pulse.

Those who did not know Su Jiu's background would truly believe he was a doctor.

The only issue was that this doctor was a bit too young.

After completing these convincing actions, Su Jiu decided to act.

Su Jiu slowly placed his right hand on the man's chest, and his inner energy began to flow.

To the onlookers, it appeared that Su Jiu was massaging or performing a massage, but a fellow feng shui practitioner would have noticed something unusual.

Su Jiu's technique was the "Malevolent Force Dissipation Hand."

This technique was recorded in the golden compass in his mind.

It was used to dispel the malevolent yin energy within the body.

At that moment, an elderly man in the crowd, upon seeing Su Jiu's actions, had a flash of insight in his eyes, which quickly disappeared.

The elderly man instantly returned to being just another onlooker.
