Chapter 374: Chapter 394: Could This Be Too Stimulating? _1

Ma Yangpeng was not weak, but after taking the Dispersing Qi Pill, he was just a strong ordinary person, no match for Lin Chen.

Lin Chen grabbed him and began checking his pulse and examining him.

Ma Yangpeng struggled desperately, shouting loudly, "Monster, let me go, let me go!"

After examining him, Lin Chen released him and backed away but stopped when the chains were stretched to the limit.

Ma Yangpeng huddled in the corner, staring at Lin Chen with fearful eyes, his body shivering uncontrollably.

Ma Wencai asked with concern, "Mr. Lin, is there a solution?"

Lin Chen thought for a moment, "It seems that your father has Nightmare Syndrome."

Ma Wencai’s spirits lifted, and he asked, "What is Nightmare Syndrome?"

Lin Chen explained, "I read about this condition in an unnamed ancient book. Sometimes people cannot wake up from their nightmares during sleep, experiencing all kinds of strange and bizarre things in their dreams. Even if they realize it’s a dream, they can’t wake up no matter how hard they struggle."

"Your father is in that state now, his mind in chaos. He seems fine, but as if trapped in a dream, unable to wake up. In this state, what he sees is no longer the original appearance but what he imagines."

Ma Wencai tentatively asked, "Mental illness?"

Lin Chen nodded, "You could say that, the symptoms are similar on the surface."

Ma Wencai asked, "Is there a treatment?"

Lin Chen nodded, "That ancient book recorded a treatment method with some metaphysical elements. I’m not sure if it works, but if Mr. Ma doesn’t mind, we could give it a try."

"Metaphysics?"

Ma Wencai was clearly puzzled, but his answer was without hesitation, "Let’s try it, nothing could be worse than the current situation."

Lin Chen nodded, "Let’s go out and write a prescription."

The two of them returned the way they came, and Ma Wencai had someone bring paper and pen. Lin Chen quickly wrote a prescription and handed it to Ma Wencai.

Ma Wencai took the paper and looked at it with a slightly strange expression but said nothing. He just called someone over and handed the prescription to him.

"Prepare it quickly."

By noon, everything was ready. Lin Chen and Ma Wencai returned to the basement.

A giant wooden barrel was placed in the center of the room, filled with a blood-like viscous liquid that emitted an incredibly pungent smell.

Lin Chen and Ma Wencai forced Ma Yangpeng into the liquid, and Lin Chen scooped up the blood-red liquid and poured it over him.

Ma Yangpeng was terrified, screaming loudly as if he had seen a ghost.

"Ah!"

With each scoop, Ma Yangpeng shuddered and screamed in horror. As the number of dousing increased, he seemed unable to withstand the terrifying ordeal, and after a scream, he fainted.

Ma Wencai asked with concern, "Is it too much stimulation?"

Lin Chen bitterly smiled, "I have never encountered this situation before. Let’s just hope for the best."

Ma Wencai gritted his teeth, "Fine, it can’t get worse than before."

Lin Chen injected Gang Qi into Ma Yangpeng’s acupoints, and Ma Yangpeng, stimulated, suddenly woke up.

Ma Yangpeng screamed and opened his eyes, looking at Ma Wencai holding him while suddenly pausing and his eyes focused, "Wencai, why are you here?"

An ecstatic expression appeared on Ma Wencai’s face, "Dad, you recognize me?"

Ma Yangpeng stared blankly at Ma Wencai, "No, you’re not Wencai, you’re much older than him, but you look so much like him, who are you really?"

Ma Wencai said excitedly, "It’s me, Wencai, your son, you’ve been sick for over twenty years."

"Twenty years?"

Ma Yangpeng said blankly, "Where is this place, Cang Mountain?"

Ma Wencai answered, "This is our home..."

Ma Wencai recounted the story of Ma Yangpeng’s madness and finally asked, "Dad, what happened to you? How did you become like that?"

"What did I encounter?"

Ma Yangpeng’s face showed a look of reminiscence, and suddenly, a shocked and excited expression appeared on his face.

"I remember, I went to find the entrance, I found it, that entrance..."

Before Ma Yangpeng could finish, Ma Wencai suddenly covered his mouth and awkwardly smiled at Lin Chen, "Mr. Lin..."

Lin Chen’s gossip soul was burning, and he was listening intently, but when he saw Ma Wencai’s action, he immediately understood their intention.

"I’ll step out for a moment; you two can talk first."

Ma Wencai gratefully smiled, "Thank you for understanding, Mr. Lin."

Lin Chen was disappointed but knew this was a family matter, and it was justifiable that they wouldn’t let him listen.

What did Ma Yangpeng mean by that sentence?

Entrance?

Cang Mountain?

What entrance?

Located inside the Cang Mountain?

Lin Chen recalled the nameless book he had read before. He used to think the contents were strange, but he never imagined that it would really work.
