Chapter 8: Rescuing the Bangs
The sun is setting and the sky is getting dark!
Long Shuang'er said: "It's not down yet, it's addictive"?
Qi Kang blushed a little at what Long Shuang'er said, and hurriedly diverted the topic.
"This is Liancheng", Qi Kang looked up and wrote the word "Liancheng" on the city gate.
"Isn't this nonsense? Knowingly, hurry up and get me down."
"Uh-huh", Qi Kang jumped sideways from the horse.
Since crossing the mountain, the speed has been kept very slow, Qi Kang sat behind Long Shuang'er, and the faint aroma made Qi Kang feel extremely comfortable.
Long Shuang'er let go of this, and Qi Kang was still a little reluctant.
Next to the gates stood two guards, dressed in armor and armed with spears.
There was still a table next to him, and a middle-aged man in an official uniform was sitting there, holding a pen in his hand and writing a bill.
"One silver into the city," the official began.
Zhao Meng walked in front, took out the money bag and threw out three taels of silver, still on the table, and strode in with the horse in one hand. It seems to be extremely imposing.
Qi Kang was behind Long Shuang'er and followed in.
"What's going on with this city lord, it's been more than ten days, why is this medical post still there, isn't it okay?"
"I heard, the city lord's illness is not ordinary, a few days ago, Dr. Wang went to the city lord's mansion, but he didn't find anything unusual, but the city lord is bedridden and unconscious."
"What? Even Doctor Wang can't find out? That's not easy to say, Doctor Wang is a famous miracle doctor in our city, he can't do anything, I guess no one in our city can cure the city lord."
"Who says it's not, it looks like we're going to change owners again"?
"Be quiet".
Qi Kang saw a notice posted on the wall inside the city gate, and these people gathered around, and they could hear it from the discussion between the two just now.
"Qi Kang, why are you going?" Long Shuang'er said.
"I'm going to see what the sign says," he said, walking into the crowd.
Qi Kang thought to himself: "Since they said that all the famous doctors here have gone to diagnose and treat them, they can't see anything unusual, how can they be bedridden and unconscious without abnormalities."
Walking through the crowd, Qi Kang saw a notice posted on the wall, "The city lord is sick, please ask the famous doctors of the city to go for treatment, if he is cured, he will be 1,000 taels of silver."
Qi Kang was watching intently, only to feel that his shoulder was patted hard by someone else.
Qi Kang turned his head, and it turned out that Long Shuang'er had also followed.
"Uncover the notice, aren't you the apprentice of the divine doctor?" Long Shuang'er wanted to see Qi Kang's joke.
"Expose it, who is afraid of whom". Qi Kang reached out and tore open the notice.
"Someone has unveiled it."
"How do you look like you're still a child," someone next to him shouted.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way". The soldiers at the city gate heard the news.
"No, why is it a child?" A soldier was a little surprised to see Qi Kang unveil the notice.
"If you mess around, be careful, kids," one soldier shouted.
"Who lifted the notice?" An old man crowded in front of the crowd.
Qi Kang looked at the old man's kind eyebrows, white sideburns, and a white shirt, estimated to be over fifty years old.
Qi Kang said to the old man, "I revealed it."
The old man looked at Qi Kang, his expression was also very surprised, and he saw that there were no other adults around Qi Kang, "Could it be that this little baby is a doctor?"
"The old man's surname is Xu, the steward of the City Lord's Mansion, may I ask this little friend, you are a doctor"?
Qi Kang bowed his head and saluted: "Uncle Xu, my master is a famous doctor in the world, I have been following it all the year round, and I have learned a little bit of skills, I don't know if I can go to the City Lord's Mansion for diagnosis and treatment."
"That's very good, then please come with me quickly", after saying that, Steward Xu walked towards the city.
"Qi Kang, there's nothing wrong with you, we still have to hurry, aren't you looking for trouble?" Zhao Meng said.
"Cousin, you also go and take a look, it won't take long, we all know that he is a disciple of the divine doctor, we haven't seen his medical skills yet, whether it is an imposter or not, we are not sure", Long Shuang'er smiled.
Qi Kang glanced at Long Shuang'er and walked towards the city with the chief manager.
Zhao Meng and Long Shuang'er each led a horse and followed behind Qi Kang.
Outside the Castle Lord's Mansion.
Two giant stone lions squatted at the door, looking extremely powerful.
"Come and lead the horse", Mr. Xu.
The guard standing at the door ran over, took the reins from Zhao Meng and Long Shuang'er, and walked to the side.
The City Lord's Mansion was not very large, and Qi Kang's mind was full of thoughts about the City Lord's illness, and he didn't take a few steps to come to the City Lord's residence.
"Manager Xu", the two maids standing at the door bowed down and saluted.
Manager Xu ignored it and pushed the door open.
"Please ......", Manager Xu pushed the door and made a gesture to invite in.
Qi Kang nodded, looked at the two behind him, and strode in.
Indoors!
A man was lying flat on the bed, Qi Kang looked over, saw that his breathing was steady, and his face was normal.
Qi Kang asked, "Uncle Xu, what did the doctors who came here say before?"
"A few days ago, I came to a few doctors, and the medical skills are the best in the city, but they can't diagnose any symptoms, they just don't wake up, and some say that they should have the legendary vegetative disease, they have never seen this disease, and they don't dare to treat it at will, and they also ask a little friend to diagnose and treat it." Manager Xu saluted Qi Kang.
Qi Kang walked directly to the city lord Liu Hai, sat aside, and put his right hand on Liu Hai's pulse.
Qi Kang was surprised, as others said, the pulse was flat and stable, the qi and blood were smooth, and there was nothing unusual.
Zhao Meng closed his eyes tightly, as if he sensed something.
"Something is wrong," Zhao Meng said.
"Cousin, what's wrong, something is wrong".
"How can this room have the breath left by the monks?"
Qi Kang was surprised: "How do you know"?
"Nonsense, we are also in the third layer of the first mirror, and I can feel it with my mind, will it have anything to do with this cultivator."
Qi Kang said: "Very likely".
"Then how should it be", Mr. Xu was a little anxious.
"Let me think about it".
Qi Kang had an idea: "There is a way."
According to the record of "Ghost Gate Needle", there have been people who have experienced the symptoms of not waking up from a long sleep, the cause is unknown, and the situation is very similar to bangs, but there are good acupuncture methods to treat it, and the effect is excellent.
Qi Kang closed his eyes and was silent, seriously recalling the record in the book, the three people on the side seemed to be playing, and they didn't dare to breathe, for fear of disturbing Qi Kang's thinking.
After a long time......
Qi Kang slowly opened his eyes, took out a bundle of white cloth from the package, and spread it out beside the bed.
The white cloth stretched out more than three feet long, and it was densely packed with silver needles, which seemed to be as many as hundreds.
"I really didn't expect that this kid was so young that he would be able to use the silver needle method, seeing that he was full of confidence, the city lord was saved this time", Mr. Xu sighed secretly.
"Fatty, come over here and help me pick up the city lord."
Zhao Meng walked quickly to the bed, helped the city lord up, and sat on the bed.
"Don't move, I'll start giving the city lord a needle."
Qi Kang took out the silver needles from the needle bag one by one, and inserted them into the head, Tianling, Baihui, Sun, Fengchi, and Yintang, and inserted seventy or eighty of them, like a hedgehog.
Zhao Meng grinned as he watched, as if he was stuck on his head.
When the last root is pierced, the bangs' eyes open suddenly.
Qi Kang slowly turned the last silver needle with his hand.
"Don't move", Qi Kang said calmly, as if bangs could wake up, as he expected.
Manager Xu on the side was excited, "Wake up, finally wake up."
Bangs wanted to open his mouth to speak, but his tongue couldn't move.
Zhao Meng opened his mouth and asked, "Qi Kang, ...... Why is that"?
"Nonsense, piercing your head, you can't open your mouth".
Zhao Meng was embarrassed, and he really didn't know anything about this silver needle.
Long Shuang'er, who was standing at the door, looked at Qi Kang with a smile, "I didn't expect him to really have two hits."
Qi Kang watched the corners of his mouth twitch and his eyes glowed with anger, guessing what he must have wanted to say.
"City Lord, don't worry, I'll take off the needle now, and you can speak."
After listening to Qi Kang's words, Liu Hai's expression eased a little.
After speaking, Qi Kang pulled out the needles one by one and put them in the needle bag.
When Qi Kang took off all the silver needles, Liu Hai stood up suddenly, his face full of anger, as if he wanted to kill someone.
was so frightened that Manager Xu didn't dare to step forward. I've never seen bangs so angry.
Bangs didn't speak, just looked away fiercely.
Moment......
Liu Hai finally calmed down, looked at Qi Kang with his hands in fists and said, "Thank you doctor for saving me, I can't wait to be grateful."
"The city lord is fine, don't be angry recently, rest for a few days, there is something unknown below."
"Sir, please say ......"
"Dare to ask the city lord why you are doing this"
"It's ......".
Liu Qi was angry again, and he was silent for a long time.
Seeing that Liu Qi refused to tell him for a long time, he secretly said in his heart: "This person refuses to tell him even the cause of the disease, isn't it a glorious thing"?
"Since the city lord has something unspeakable and it is inconvenient to tell him, then we will retire first." After Qi Kang finished speaking, he walked towards the door.
"Little sir, slow ......," Liu Haiqing shouted anxiously.
"What else is there to ...... the lord of the city",
"Sir, can you know spells"?
"Spells"?
Qi Kang said lightly: "I know a little bit."
"Since Mr. knows a little, he may submit to others", Liu Hai's eyes were full of pleading.
Qi Kang said: "I would like to hear the details......"
Liu Hai looked surprised, looked at Manager Xu on the side, and looked at him, Manager Li nodded slightly and withdrew.
Qi Kang said: "The two of them are also cultivators, the city lord might as well say directly, if we can help you, we will do our best."
Liu Hai looked at Long Shuang'er and Zhao Meng in surprise, unexpectedly, he embarked on the road of cultivation at a young age.
"Can this still be fake?"
The four of them chatted in the house for a long time before they came out and asked Manager Xu to arrange a sumptuous dinner.
I will send someone to spread the news of the awakening of the lord of the city.
After they were full of wine and food, Manager Xu arranged three good guest rooms for Qi Kang and them, and the three of them stayed in the City Lord's Mansion that night.
