Chapter 504: Can't Do It
readx;
Zhen Lingzi said coldly: "You are really strange, even if the child is crazy, even if the doctor you have seen says that he can't be cured, he can't be sent alive to worship the mountain god." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info That dragon woman is even more ridiculous, take the crazy patient to worship the mountain god, is she a witch or the king of Yama, how can she be so careless of human life? ”
The rich man waved his hands wildly, and stood up nervously: "You can't say that! Facing the east, he kept bowing: "Long Po, you have a lot of old people, don't be like children." The child speaks without intention, don't blame your old man! ”
Zhen Lingzi couldn't imagine that this rich man was afraid of being like this, so he really couldn't cry or laugh: "Okay, it's me who is disrespectful to him, it's good for him to come at me!" ”
The rich man still bowed and apologized.
Sun Simiao frowned, exchanged glances with Zuo Shaoyang, and felt that this rich man was not pretending to be afraid, but genuinely afraid, Sun Simiao said to Zhen Lingzi and others: "Follow the customs, don't talk nonsense!" ”
At this moment, Zhen Lingzi and the others didn't dare to say any more.
Zuo Shaoyang said: "Master Hu, the child went crazy and sent to the mountain temple, was it at the request of Long Po or did you do it voluntarily?" ”
"Of course we volunteered, Luang Po never forced people to send patients to the mountain temple. She is a kind-hearted person, if she is not crazy, but something else, such as some people are ruthless, and some dementia and disabled patients are sent to worship the mountain god, and they are all scolded by her old man. It is said that the worship of the mountain god is only for those who have offended the mountain god and have been punished by the mountain god, so that they can be sent to worship, which is regarded as making amends to the mountain god. The mountain god will forgive him and his family, or else ......"
"How else?"
"Otherwise, the whole family and even the neighbors of the crazy child will get sick and go crazy, and finally die tragically."
For Zuo Shaoyang, he didn't believe it, but Sun Simiao and the others were cultivators, and they believed in magic and Taoism deep down. So I'm a little suspicious.
Zuo Shaoyang smiled: "In this way, Long Po still did a good thing." ”
"That's not it, everyone didn't believe it before, but later, those patients who went crazy and didn't send them to the mountain temple, the whole family went crazy, and they died miserably one by one, and then the neighbors also went crazy, not only one, but several in a row."
Hearing what he said with such a nose and eyes, everyone looked at each other, what kind of ghost is it doing?
Zuo Shaoyang didn't bother to bother with this brain, and asked the rich man: "Didn't you say that there was no precedent before, and the patient who provoked the mountain god crazy was sent to the mountain temple and then came out, then you go and ask for it now, will Long Po agree?" ”
The rich man said: "I just saw you, so I thought of this method, and I don't know if it works, but I am such a son now, but if there is a way, I still have to try it." When a mad patient is sent to the mountain temple, Long Po will never refuse, and she never takes the initiative to ask others to send the patient, so I thought that after sending it, I should be able to come back again. ”
Zhen Lingzi smiled faintly and said, "Aren't you afraid that the sick will not worship the mountain god and bring disaster to your family?" You must know that if you stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, your son can be reborn when he dies, but if you die yourself, your incense will really have no drama at all! ”
This sentence reached the heart of the rich man, the reason why the rich man hesitated was this, hearing this, his face suddenly changed, he didn't think about it just now, but now when he thinks about it, he feels that he is too abrupt.
Zuo Shaoyang is silent, before he understands the truth of the matter, it is easy to make bad ideas, if the other party asks for him, and he has the ability to help, he will make a move.
The rich man lowered his head and thought for a long time, finally raised his head and said, "I'll go and talk to Long Po." Let's just say that Lord Zuo is his own uncle, I want to see him again, and then my lord, you show him, if the face is still saved, please save his life, I am willing to thank him with a hundred taels of silver! ”
One hundred taels is not a small amount, Zuo Shaoyang's heart moved, and said: "I don't want you a hundred taels either, I'll go with you to see, if I can save him, I will naturally save him, if I can save his life, I hope you can help us open a pharmacy." Noncommittal? ”
When the rich man heard this, his face changed greatly, and he waved his hand and said, "No, no, I can't do this." ”
Qing Miaozi said strangely: "Hey! You're confused, aren't you? You were willing to pay a hundred taels of silver just now to ask my uncle to save your precious son, and now my uncle doesn't want you to pay a hundred taels of silver, as long as you help find a store to open a pharmacy, you Quzhou, I'm afraid it won't cost you thirty or forty taels of silver at most to buy a big store, right? Saved you more than half of the money, and you're not happy? ”
"No, no, I'm not unhappy, I'm ......, this, I'm ......" The rich man rubbed his hands anxiously, "Or, Lord Zuo, I'll give you another fifty taels, I will help you with the money you opened the pharmacy, you can figure it out yourself, I really can't do anything about this pharmacy." ”
Before Qing Miaozi could say more, Zuo Shaoyang had already waved his hand to stop him, and he saw that the rich man was really embarrassed, and he was unwilling to make it difficult for the strongman. Then he said: "Forget it, since that's the case, it's better to rely on the master." Let's go see the kid first, I can't say if we can save it, let's discuss what to do now. Let's go. - Where is this mountain temple? ”
"On a small hill outside the North City, not too far away, in time."
The rich man immediately asked his servants to prepare several carriages, and everyone got into the carriages, followed the rich man out, and went straight out of the city.
Because there is no war in the whole country now, and Quzhou is far away from the Turkic border in the south of the Yangtze River, although there are occasional bandits in the mountains and forests, but they are all single robbers, and the kind of large bandits gathered in the Wuthering Mountains and forests have not appeared, so it is relatively safe, and the city gate will not be closed, for the people to enter and exit freely.
They went out of the city, walked for a while, and then came to the bottom of a hill, got out of the car, and walked up the winding mountain path, and in a short time they reached the top of the hill.
The top of this hill is very flat, a high wall is much higher than the other courtyards, and it looks more solid, the mountain gate is closed, and a plaque hangs on the lintel, which reads "Mountain Temple".
The rich man called the servant to come forward and knock on the door, and after a long time, a strong man came to open the door, and only opened a crack in the door, and there were two doors chained inside, as if the current security door.
The big man looked at them vigilantly from behind the crack in the door: "What is the matter with you?" ”
The rich man hurriedly stepped forward, took out a small ingot of broken silver from his arms and handed it over, and said with a smile: "This eldest brother, it's like this, my son got crazy a few days ago and was sent to the mountain temple, and his uncle knew about it, and came from a foreign country to meet the child, do you think it's okay?" ”
Dahan didn't take the broken silver, but just glanced at Zuo Shaoyang and them one by one, and said coldly: "Wait!" ”
With that, he closed the mountain gate again, and then heard the sound of flowers inside like a latch on the door, and the footsteps hurried away.
Zhen Lingzi was a little funny: "What's the matter, isn't it just a mountain temple, how can it be as heavily guarded as the palace!" ”
Shoutongzi said: "This is how it should be, this mountain temple is no better than other temples, it is inhabited by patients who have offended the mountain god and gone crazy, crazy patients are very dangerous, if you don't get it right, it will hurt people, it is good to be cautious." ”
After waiting for a while, the mountain temple squeaked and opened again, and the big man poked his head out and said, "Long Po said that it is your business whether you are willing to send it or not, but after sending it to the mountain temple, it will be offered to the mountain god." This point has been made clear to you before you send your children, and now you have to go back, the mountain god will be angry, once the mountain god is angry, it can't help but harm your whole family, and it will also harm the entire people of Quzhou, you can afford it, the people of the whole city can't afford it! ”
The rich man's face was red and white and very embarrassed, and he said again and again: "No, no, I don't want to go back, but let his uncle take a look, just take a look." ”
"That's not going to work either. Long Po said, all the people who are dedicated to the mountain god have all been dedicated to the mountain god, and they are already the people of the mountain god, not to mention you, even Long Po and her old man, they can't see it. ”
Zhen Lingzi said sharply: "Just to meet, what is there?" We are his relatives, and we have already sacrificed our children to the mountain god, so what do we have to worry about? Wouldn't it be too unreasonable to not even be allowed to see each other? ”
The big man had a sideways face, and he was originally a head taller than Zhen Lingzi, but he dared to do anything when he was shouted by Zhen Lingzi, so he just muttered: "This is all explained by the old man of Long Po, and I can't help it." ”
Zuo Shaoyang stepped forward and said, "Then, can we meet Long Po and her old man?" ”
The big man looked Zuo Shaoyang up and down: "You are a foreigner, right?" ”
"That's right,"
"I'm sorry, but Long Po never sees strangers."
Zuo Shaoyang thought to himself, this dragon woman is really funny, why don't you see outsiders? Before he could ask, the big man added: "Long Po said that outsiders can only bring disasters to Quzhou, and nothing good will happen, so I would like to advise a few people, or leave as soon as possible, you will not get any benefits in Quzhou." ”
"What did you say?" Zhen Lingzi said sharply, took a step forward, and stared at the big man with sharp eyes, "Why did we foreigners bring disaster to you?" My ancestor and uncle came to you from the capital thousands of miles away, in order to open a free medical hall that delivers medicine and do good things for the people, but you say that we have brought disaster to you, you must make it clear! ”
The big man shrank his head, retreated into the gate, and closed the door again with a thud.
Zhen Lingzi was about to step forward and knock on the door, but the rich man hurriedly stopped him, and said with a bitter smile: "Lord Zuo, all the Taoist leaders." Please stop being angry, since Long Po won't let you see it, this matter can only be forgotten. It's already a hassle for everyone, thank you, thank you! ”
