"It's not that it's difficult, but... the root cause is complicated." Long Jinyu explained with a calm expression.
"Please give me some advice, little senior sister." Bei Bei sat upright and listened attentively.
"Hmm."
Long Jinyu nodded slightly, "To treat the disease, you need to prescribe the right medicine and trace the root cause. Tang Ya girl's disease is caused by Holy Spirit Cult externally, but internally it originates from herself, which is a 'heart disease'. If Medical Pavilion In terminology, this disease can be called 'post-traumatic stress disorder' and 'severe depression'. Throughout the ages, heart disease has been difficult to treat, far more difficult than physical trauma. Even Titled Douluo and even gods, it is difficult to easily detect it on their own, and often requires external guidance and support."
"Post-traumatic... stress disorder? Major depression?"
Bei Bei was a little confused by these two unfamiliar words, "Senior sister, I understand the mental illness, but the last two words... I'm sorry for my stupidity and my inability to understand their meaning. Could you please... explain it in more detail?"
Only then did Long Jinyu realize that he had habitually used Blue Star's modern medical terminology, which was not common sense in this world and was indeed obscure and difficult for the Douluo aborigines to understand.
His eyes softened a little, and he chuckled, "Oh, I didn't explain it clearly enough, I'm sorry."
"How could it be the fault of my junior sister? It's my junior's lack of knowledge that made you laugh." Bei Bei waved his hands quickly, his tone a bit embarrassed.
"It's okay. This is Medical Pavilion's internal research. Few people outside know about it. It's not your fault."
Long Jinyu reassured, then slowed down his speech and broke it down in detail. "Just imagine, a person has witnessed the horrors of hell, or experienced a desperate situation of life and death. The fear and helplessness will be like a brand engraved in the bones - this is 'post-traumatic stress disorder'. The patient will uncontrollably recall the pain, avoid people, things, and objects related to the trauma, and remain in a state of high alert, easily frightened, and have restless sleep at night."
"'Severe depression' is an unusually low mood. It is like a severe cold in the soul that does not go away. The patient will lose interest in everything around him, feel extremely tired, self-doubt, and even... have thoughts of suicide. He cannot eat and sleep well, and his pillow is restless. These are all symptoms."
"Girl Tang Ya, these two kinds of heart diseases are intertwined now. The tragedy of that year was the introduction, inducing the former; with no way to relieve the pain in these years, she has slipped step by step into the abyss of the latter."
After Long Jinyu finished speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at Bei Bei with a questioning look in his eyes. "In this way, do you understand better? If you still don't understand, I will elaborate further."
"No... it's not necessary, the little senior sister explained it very clearly." Bei Bei instantly grasped the key point, his brows furrowed tighter, his fingertips unconsciously picking at the hem of his clothes, his expression full of shock and surprise.
"How? Did you think of something?" Long Jinyu looked at him calmly.
"You said... you have seen the hellish tragedy with your own eyes, and you doubt yourself..."
Bei Bei is not a stupid person, he immediately realized what Long Jinyu was referring to, but he was shocked that this young senior sister actually knew these dusty old things, and even seemed to know more deeply than he did.
"It seems you understand, go on." Long Jinyu saw through his thoughts, and his tone was a little more encouraging.
Bei Bei's Adam's apple rolled, and his voice was trembling. "You are referring to... the incident where Tang Sect was attacked a few years ago, and the whole house...Xiao Ya was the only one who survived by chance? If this is the case... everything makes sense..."
"Not bad."
Long Jinyu's eyes were full of insight, "That tragedy was the source of her heartache. Holy Spirit Cult's attack was just to take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the pent-up pain in her heart. It's completely magnified. Bei Bei, I know that you love Tang Ya deeply, worship her as your teacher, and accompany her to rebuild Tang Sect. This kind of kindness is extremely valuable."
He changed the topic and his tone became deeper:
"But have you ever thought about why her heart is getting heavier even though you take such good care of her? Because the wounds in the past have never healed, and today's stimulation comes one after another. Some pain cannot be resolved by gentle companionship. It is like a poisonous thorn, buried deep in the heart. The longer it goes, the deeper the fester becomes."
"You have been watching her day and night, but have you ever noticed that she wakes up more and more often in her dreams? Have you ever noticed that she sometimes looks in the direction of Heaven Dou City, Jiujiu, with empty eyes? Have you ever felt that behind her obsession to revitalize Tang Sect, there is a heavy burden and... a hatred that cannot be expressed to her mouth?"
Bei Bei was hit by this series of questions, and his lips trembled slightly, unable to refute. Why didn't he notice these details? It's just that he always believed that with love and companionship, and with the hope of rebuilding Tang Sect, he could slowly heal Xiao Ya's pain.
"Sister... you mean..." Bei Bei's voice was a little dry.
"What I mean is that regular companionship and comfort are like wiping the forehead of a person with a high fever. It can relieve temporary discomfort, but it cannot eradicate the disease. No amount of warmth can only temporarily numb the pain. When conventional methods have little effect, doctors need to consider 'strong medicine'. For heart diseases that penetrate deep into the bone marrow, sometimes what is needed is not gentle conditioning, but a 'heart medicine' that can break stubborn stones."
Long Jinyu continued to guide, with a calm and powerful voice. "This 'heart medicine' is to settle the old grudges and let her see justice come with her own eyes. Everything you are doing now, rebuilding Tang Sect, and recruiting new disciples, are building a 'future' Come'. This is very good and very important. But if she never settles the 'past', the poisonous thorn buried in her heart will continue to release poison and erode all efforts. Let me ask you, what do you think deep down in Tang Ya's heart is the most unable to let go and most eager to end?"
Bei Bei was silent for a long time, his hands clenched unconsciously, and his voice deepened. "It's...Ironblood Sect. It's the blood feud."
He raised his head, with struggle in his eyes, "Senior Sister, it's not that I haven't thought about it. It's just that... Shrek has always been neutral. As a disciple of the academy, I belong to Ancestor Xuan... If I use the power of my family to intervene in the sect's vendetta, it will definitely attract rumors and bring trouble to the academy and Ancestor Xuan..."
"I understand your concerns."
Long Jinyu nodded slightly, with understanding in his tone, "Shrek's reputation, Mu En's reputation, and your duty as a disciple, these are all things you have to consider. It is precisely because you love Tang Ya so much and care about her so much that you want to help her in the safest and most perfect way. Right?"
Bei Bei's eyes were slightly red and he nodded slowly.
Long Jinyu then spoke sharply, going straight to the core, "But Bei Bei, you have to distinguish between 'rules' and 'justice'. When Ironblood Sect bribed the city defense army and massacred Tang Sect in despicable ways, did you ever talk about the rules?"
"As the saying goes, I will not offend others unless they offend me; if someone offends me, I will offend them. Since he broke the rules first, he should suffer the consequences, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."
"Today, we are not trying to bully the weak, but we are trying to uphold justice for God and seek justice that has been long overdue!"
He leaned forward slightly, his eyes blazing. "Moreover, rules are dead, but people are alive. I believe you know that back then, Teacher, because of a commitment and compassion, did something that did not mean reputation or reputation, but for peace of mind?"
Bei Bei:"!!!"
