From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor-Chapter 330 - 305: Innate Scripture

Wang Jinwu said, "There are a lot of things waiting to be handled at the farm, I’ll leave by noon." He wanted to stay with Tong Guangsheng, but the farm couldn’t do without people, and now that Tong Guangsheng and his son have reconciled, with so many people taking care of them, he can rest assured.

Xu Chunliang patted him on the shoulder, reminding him to drive carefully on the road. At this moment, Mo Han sent a message. Xu Chunliang glanced at it and couldn’t help but smile. Mo Han was clearly worried he would go back on his word.

He called Mo Han, asking her to come to the hospital to pick him up. He had been wearing that dragon bone all along; once he made a promise, he, Xu Chunliang, would never go back on it.

Twenty minutes later, Mo Han’s car had already arrived at the hospital parking lot. Xu Chunliang deliberately made her wait for more than ten minutes, only then did he slowly appear.

Once Xu Chunliang got in the car, Mo Han looked at him coldly, "Now you’ve got some nerve, you’re all relaxed after the task is done."

Xu Chunliang laughed, "Sorry, Uncle Tong had to talk to me, and I chatted with him for a bit."

Mo Han rolled her eyes and put on her sunglasses, thinking there’s no way Tong Guangsheng had the energy to chat with him right after major surgery. She reached out to Xu Chunliang, "Where’s the dragon bone?"

Xu Chunliang said, "That’s not what we agreed on back then."

Mo Han said, "Afraid I won’t give it to you? You’re really petty. Can’t there be more trust between people?"

Xu Chunliang said, "Have things really been resolved on Li Zongyuan’s side?"

Mo Han nodded.

"How do I know for sure?"

Mo Han said, "It’s easy to prove. If you go back on your word, within three days there will be assassins looking for the Tong family."

Xu Chunliang said, "I choose to trust you."

Mo Han said, "So, where’s the thing?"

Xu Chunliang said, "Contact President Luan for a face-to-face imprint; I can’t give him the dragon bone."

"So stingy!"

Mo Han drove straight to Longgu Museum; she had no need to hide anything. The one who truly wanted the dragon bone was Bai Mushan. Before coming here, she had already contacted Luan Yuchuan, and Luan Yuchuan instructed them to go directly to Longgu Museum.

Xu Chunliang guessed Luan Yuchuan’s little trick right away, probably Luan Yuchuan was an amateur too, and he wanted Bai Mushan to help identify the authenticity of the dragon bone in his hand.

Xu Chunliang said, "Are you familiar with Bai Mushan?"

Mo Han shook her head and said, "He’s a friend of President Luan. I’m paid by him, so of course, I have to follow his instructions."

Xu Chunliang said, "When I have money, I’ll pay you myself."

Mo Han thought to herself, this guy talks big without fear, paying me? Who do you think you are?

Xu Chunliang seemed to have guessed her thoughts, smiling, "I’m just not interested in making money. If I wanted to, your Equatorial Capital might not be my match. Just take this dragon bone, if I sell it for ten million, would you buy it?"

Mo Han glanced sideways, seeing Xu Chunliang really took out a dragon bone. It was only about half the size of a palm, much thinner than ordinary dragon bones, with many texts engraved on it.

Mo Han said, "I really don’t understand what President Luan is thinking, paying such a high price for a piece of junk."

Xu Chunliang said, "I also don’t know what’s written on it, I must consult Professor Bai when I see him."

The third game between Bai Mushan and Luan Yuchuan had already reached the middle stage. The pieces were made of jade and black jade, feeling smooth to the touch. Bai Mushan had already lost two games.

Luan Yuchuan said meaningfully, "Professor Bai is not at his best today."

Bai Mushan said, "One must be focused when playing chess. I had too many distracting thoughts today, unsettled in mind, which must make President Luan laugh."

Luan Yuchuan said, "I have paid a hefty price for this dragon bone."

Bai Mushan placed a piece, eyeing Luan Yuchuan opposite him, "I can guarantee that whatever President Luan spent, it’s well worth it."

Luan Yuchuan placed another piece and said, "Recently, the precordial area of my chest has started hurting again. I plan to go for another angiography tomorrow."

Bai Mushan said, "It might be psychological. Ancient Qi cultivation techniques are mysterious and wondrous. The lesion on my right liver lobe was eliminated by this method."

Luan Yuchuan picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, "I used to be skeptical about cultivation and qi cultivation, until you discovered the secrets in it. I’ve only been practicing for a little over a month, and the plaque in both carotid arteries has disappeared."

Bai Mushan said, "This set of the ’Innate Scripture’ should be part of the ’Inner Canon of Huangdi.’"

Luan Yuchuan said, "The ’Inner Canon of Huangdi’ is everywhere. I’ve read the book, and there’s no ’Innate Scripture’ in it."

Bai Mushan said, "The concept of inheritance in traditional Chinese medicine is significant. In addition, most Chinese medical families adhere to the principle of passing on to sons and not daughters, causing many traditional Chinese medical secrets to be lost. Take the ’Inner Canon of Huangdi,’ for example. There’s actually a counterpart called the ’Outer Canon of Huangdi,’ which has long been lost. Even the ’Inner Canon of Huangdi’ passed down now is incomplete and distorted, so the value of this set of dragon bones is immeasurable."

Luan Yuchuan placed another piece, "You’ve studied for so many years and didn’t find several dragon bones missing?"

Bai Mushan said, "President Luan, whether the dragon bone he holds is real or fake is still unclear." He frowned at the chessboard, cautiously placing a piece.

Luan Yuchuan watched for a while, sighed, and said, "I lost this game." He stood up, "They should be coming over."

At this moment, Xue Anliang came to report that Xu Chunliang and Mo Han had arrived together.

Seeing Xu Chunliang again, Xue Anliang felt uneasy inside, but forced himself to appear calm and greeted him, "Mr. Xu is here."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Dr. Xue, aren’t you going to school? You’re at the museum every day watching the door?"

Xue Anliang said, "My research topic is Oracle Bone Script, under the guidance of Professor Bai, so naturally, wherever he is, I am." He made a gesture of invitation.

Mo Han asked, "Is President Luan here?"

Xue Anliang replied, "He’s been here for a while, playing chess with Professor Bai."

When they arrived at the parlor, Bai Mushan and Luan Yuchuan had already removed the chessboard and moved to the tea area to make tea.

Mo Han said, "President Luan, I’ve brought the person to you. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll leave first."

Xu Chunliang asked, "You’re not seeing me off?"

Luan Yuchuan laughed, "I’ll have the driver see you off later."

Mo Han turned and left, making it clear that she had no interest in the dragon bone. Xue Anliang also didn’t find it suitable to stay long and left together with Mo Han.

Xu Chunliang took out the dragon bone, and Bai Mushan couldn’t wait to take it and carefully examined it. This dragon bone was indeed the one Xu Chunliang had shown him in photos before. He could confirm that it was real, but he couldn’t recognize even a third of the characters on it. Obtaining the dragon bone was one thing; understanding it and integrating it with previously obtained content was another matter entirely.

Luan Yuchuan saw Bai Mushan engrossed in the dragon bone, forgetting others’ presence around him and entering a state of oblivion. He sighed inwardly, realizing that Bai was indeed obsessed. He invited Xu Chunliang to sit down and poured him a cup of tea.

Xu Chunliang sipped the tea and asked, "Professor Bai, have you looked closely—is this dragon bone real?"

Bai Mushan, as if waking from a dream, said, "It’s real, definitely real. Unfortunately, the dragon bone has been polished, and a hole was punched in a crucial spot!"

Xu Chunliang suppressed a laugh, "Without polishing, how could it be used as a bookmark? The hole is also for the convenience of using it as a bookmark." Those old folks wanted to take advantage of him so easily, but it wouldn’t be possible, not even with Luan Yuchuan.

Bai Mushan made three rubbings of the dragon bone right in front of Xu Chunliang.

Xu Chunliang didn’t mind; Bai Mushan could make as many rubbings as he wanted. Anyway, he couldn’t recognize all the characters. Even if he did, the hole for tying a string was right on a critical part, and not even Bai Mushan could guess what character it was.

Xu Chunliang waited for him to finish the rubbings, took back the dragon bone, and got up to leave.

Bai Mushan feigned an invitation for him to stay for a meal, but Xu Chunliang used the excuse of having to attend classes at the party school to visit another day.

Bai Mushan asked Xue Anliang to send him back to the party school, which was precisely what Xu Chunliang wanted.

Xue Anliang secretly called it a hard task; he didn’t want to be alone with this devil, though he knew it was unavoidable. So, he had to endure it silently.

Xu Chunliang got into his small Feidu car, and after leaving the museum, handed him a large pill, containing the Red Flame Pill inside.

The sudden happiness made Xue Anliang a bit hesitant to accept it.

"Don’t want it?" Xu Chunliang pretended to take it back.

Xue Anliang quickly took it; the skin on his hand had already returned to its former smooth, fair state.

Xu Chunliang laughed, "It’s healing well, not even a scar left."

Xue Anliang heard the underlying reminder not to forget the pain once the wound healed and secretly glanced at Xu Chunliang, asking, "Did you really give him that dragon bone just now?"

Xu Chunliang said, "I am a man of my word. Of course, I fulfill my promises to others."

Xue Anliang said, "The professor has not shown any unusual behavior recently, just communicating more with Luan Yuchuan."

Xu Chunliang nodded. The closeness between the two made sense. Bai Mushan wanted that dragon bone, but he was merely an academic elite without wealth or power. To fulfill his wish, he needed someone’s help—hence he turned to Luan Yuchuan.

"Are Professor Bai and Luan Yuchuan close friends?" Xue Anliang said, "I’m not entirely sure. They don’t usually meet often, but Luan Yuchuan has been sponsoring the professor’s research for years. They should be good friends."

"How did they meet?"

Xue Anliang shook his head, then remembered something, "Oh, I heard that in the early 90s, the professor took a few years’ leave without pay to join a tech company on Zhujiang Road. That’s where Luan Yuchuan built his fortune. I guess they met during that time."

Xu Chunliang pondered secretly, realizing that Bai Mushan and Luan Yuchuan were more than just ordinary friends. The reason Luan Yuchuan could repair his blocked coronary artery should be due to cultivating the "Treatise on Celestial Nourishment." The only way he could access it was through Bai Mushan.

Bai Mushan knows Oracle Bone Script and must have collaborated with Liang Baxian in clandestine activities back then.
