Chapter 1123: Chapter 1150: Back from the Dead 9
Zhang Mingyue was somewhat curious about the identity of this little boy, who actually called Mrs. Ouyang his aunt, and Mrs. Ouyang was visibly flattered by it.
Nianyang looked gratefully at Jian Chengguang, her gaze meeting with the clearly impressed Mr. Ouyang, and said,
"Death is a gradual process, its timing irreversible.
It’s very difficult to distinguish a person in a state of suspended animation from one who is truly dead by appearance alone. If timely rescue is administered, the chances of revival for those in a state of suspended animation are significant. However, if delayed and the opportunity missed, then it easily becomes ’true from false’, denying the person the possibility of rebirth."
Therefore, timely determination of the state of suspended animation is critically important, a matter of life and death.
Mr. Ouyang took a deep breath, "Can you really save my mother?"
Nianyang shook her head, "Bringing the dead back to life is of course impossible; if the old lady is truly dead, even an Immortal can’t help. But if it’s as I said, then of course, it’s possible."
It’s essentially a gamble.
Mr. Ouyang was still hesitating when Nianyang said, "There are only two hours left, if you don’t decide, then even if it’s a case of suspended animation, I will be helpless. Mr. Ouyang, you are a wise man, you should understand the principle of ’better to believe in its existence’. I’m doing this to save a life and also to clear the name of my Traditional Chinese Medicine Family."
Nianyang had already reached some conclusions in her mind; she just needed the final check to overturn the elder’s case.
Thinking it wouldn’t hurt anyway, Mr. Ouyang nodded, "Alright, come on in."
"Sir!" Mrs. Ouyang was shocked, "Do you really believe her absurd words?"
Old Hu shook his head and sighed, "Nonsense, the old lady is already gone. The people in the coffin are being disturbed again. Her passage through the Underworld will be rough."
Mrs. Ouyang was somewhat superstitious, so upon hearing this, she firmly disagreed.
Mr. Ouyang said, "Everyone says the dead cannot be brought back to life, but since she says my mother can be revived, I think we can give it a try. We would regret it if we didn’t. As for the Underworld stories, those are deceits."
Mrs. Ouyang had no choice, "Sect Leader Chu, I hope you are not toying with us, otherwise we will not let this go easily!"
Nianyang was led into the hall, and Mr. Ouyang carried the old lady onto the big bed. Her face was blue, and she was not breathing.
Anyone with keen eyes could see that she had been dead for quite a while.
The crowd watched and whispered mockingly, all waiting to see Nianyang make a fool of herself.
Old Hu remained calm, not believing Nianyang could revive the old lady, as he knew very well that the old lady was dead.
He didn’t stop her; he was perfectly willing to see Nianyang embarrassed.
After all, the old lady was dead, and Nianyang wouldn’t find anything.
But he hadn’t anticipated that Nianyang had a penetrating eye, nothing escaped her gaze.
She asked the elder to bring the medicine box, carefully observing the old lady’s face and taking her pulse.
In that posture, you might say she really looked quite capable.
Then everyone saw Nianyang suddenly take out a piece of string and lean down closer and closer to the old lady, slowly tying the string around her fingers.
No one understood her actions, so they stayed silent.
Who would have thought the next second, she slowly pressed her fingers on the patient’s eyeball, scaring Ning’er and Ruoruo into shouting,
"What are you doing, poking my grandmother’s eyes?"
Nianyang paused her action and said, "Don’t be nervous, I’m not trying to harm the old lady, I’m checking for signs of life."
