Chen Youcong smiled: "It turns out that you can see it." ”

"Your all-round style, it's hard for the old Taoist to see it. Should I kneel down and give you a kowtow first? ”

"I can't do it. You are an elder, and I should pay you a salute. ”

"Shall we all be exempt from these false gifts?"

"That's great!"

Zhang Rongkun and Chen Youcong talked about these words, but they felt that this young prince was very interesting, there was no arrogance, and he was very easy to get along with.

"What kind of tea would you like to drink?" I have a little bit of tea here. Zhang Rongkun asked Chen Youcong.

"Sorry. Give me whatever you drink every day. ”

"In this case, I will go and ask someone to boil water and prepare tea." Zhang Rongkun said that he was going out.

"Master, I'd better go." Zhang Weizhao said. The guests she brought were so good that they worked for the Master. She said and turned to Chen Youcong and them: "Please wait, I'll come when I go." ”

After Zhang Weizhao left, Chen Youcong suddenly became a little timid, and he didn't know how to talk to Zhang Rongkun. In fact, he talked eloquently in the court and never showed timidity. Today, under Zhang Rongkun's scrutinizing gaze, he was actually a little embarrassed. Subconsciously straightened his back and made a mature and dignified appearance.

In contrast, Feng Hao is a little more relaxed. After reading the meridian diagram, he began to constantly look at the other things on the shelf.

In fact, Chen Youcong was also very curious, but he didn't want Zhang Rongkun to think that he was naïve and couldn't hold his breath.

An old Jianghu like Zhang Rongkun guessed Chen Youcong's mind in a blink of an eye. When Zhang Weizhao walked out just now, Chen Youcong's eyes followed her all the time, and he didn't retract his gaze until he couldn't see it. This time I traveled in micro-clothes, and followed Zhang Weizhao back to Xuanmiaoguan, probably hiding it from everyone in the palace.

The prince is still very young, and it is normal for people to admire Shao Ai. There is affection and affection, but the prince's situation is delicate, and many things are out of his own control. It's hard to say what kind of results this ignorant spring heart will lead to in the end. Besides, Zhang Weizhao is not someone else, even if the prince has the ability to marry a vulgar female Taoist priest as a concubine, will Zhang Weizhao definitely agree?

But putting aside these complicated backgrounds, as far as Chen Youcong is concerned, Zhang Rongkun still likes him a lot. Chen Youcong did not have the arrogance and arrogance of a royal disciple at all. When Zhang Rongkun used to practice medicine, he met several children of the clan, and the arrogant one was simply his family. And the real heir of the empire on the other side is both modest and polite, but also glorious and introverted, and he is also very good-looking, if he is an ordinary official eunuch, he is really a pair with Zhang Weizhao, it is also very good. Zhang Rongkun does not force her apprentice to be a Taoist, if she has her own home and has children, Zhang Rongkun will not be afraid of her loneliness when she closes her eyes in the future.

Zhang Rongkun's inner drama is very full, and he still looks like a breezy appearance on the outside, and said to Chen Youcong and Feng Hao: "You can see the things on this shelf if you want." Just don't scare yourself. ”

"Really? That's what you always say. Feng Hao grinned and pointed to a large round jar as he spoke. What's this bubble about? It can't be a human head, right? ”

"It's a human head." Zhang Rongkun said that the old god was there.

"Huh?" Feng Hao's hand stretched out to the altar froze in mid-air.

Chen Youcong walked around behind him and lifted the lid of the altar, and Feng Hao also hurried over to take a look. In the jar are scorpions and centipedes pickled in wine, densely packed inside, shiny and oily. Although it must be dead if it is pickled in the jar, it looks like it is alive.

Feng Hao got goosebumps all over his body, and begged: "His Royal Highness the Prince, hurry up and close the lid." I don't think they're going to crawl out soon. What are you doing with these poisonous insects? ”

Chen Youcong also felt panicked, but in order to maintain his demeanor in front of Zhang Rongkun, he still tried to cover the lid with an elegant attitude.

Zhang Rongkun twisted his beard and said with a smile: "In medicine, it has a miraculous effect in treating gout and headache." That's the so-called fighting poison with poison. ”

Feng Hao pointed to another jar of about the same size and asked, "What is this?" ”

Zhang Rongkun sat down, dusted off the non-existent ash and said, "Doll." ”

"Doll?" Feng Hao looked at Zhang Rongkun with wide eyes: "You must be joking again." Saying that, I was still a little apprehensive in my heart, and looked at Chen Youcong, who was also full of curiosity. Feng Hao mustered up the courage to open the lid, and the two teenagers looked in, only to see that there was neatly stacked charcoal inside, and in the middle of the charcoal were tightly wrapped paper bags one by one.

"Where's this doll?" Feng Hao shouted.

"Ginseng dolls."

Wrap the ginseng and put it in the middle of the charcoal to prevent moisture and mildew.

"Can you tell me all about it?" Feng Hao complained, but there was a smile in his tone. Feng Hao found it really interesting to get along with this old man, no wonder Zhang Weizhao was thinking about coming back to see his master.

"Where's this?" Feng Hao pointed to a long box again.

"Arms." Zhang Rongkun replied.

"Hahaha, you can't bluff me this time." Feng Hao smiled and showed a mouthful of white teeth, and Chen Youcong also laughed.

Feng Hao picked up the lid of the box with a smile, but threw the lid out with a strange scream, and Chen Youcong, who was standing next to him, quickly made a move and copied the lid before it fell to the ground.

Inside is indeed an arm, to be exact, a section of arm bones, including the forearm and a complete hand, each of the finger bones of the hand is well preserved, making a slight grasping gesture.

Not to mention Feng Hao's gaffe, even Chen Youcong felt that the roots of his hair had exploded when he saw the contents of the box.

Zhang Rongkun sat on the side and laughed.

Feng Hao and Chen Youcong felt terrible, but they couldn't help but want to see what was going on.

At this moment, Zhang Weizhao came in with the brewed tea. Looking at this situation, you can know that the master is playing a prank to scare the children again. didn't care about them, and said, "The tea is here, hard work Feng Hao, you come to pour the tea." I went to the kitchen to cook. ”

"You cook for us? What's so embarrassing about that? Feng Hao said this, but he smiled happily. While laughing, he secretly glanced at Chen Youcong next to him, and sure enough, he showed a look of "You are so capable, I am looking forward to it", and his eyes were shining.

Zhang Weizhao didn't answer Feng Hao's words, only smiled. said to Zhang Rongkun: "Then Master Lao will entertain you." ”

Zhang Rongkun said calmly: "The pepper and salt fish last time was good. ”

"Granny Xiaoyu Han has already peeled and cleaned, I'll do it, just do it in a while." With that, he turned around and went out.

Feng Hao asked, "Daoist, aren't you a vegetarian?" ”

"We don't eat beef in this vein, and other meats are not taboo." Unlike Buddhists, not all schools of Taoism are completely vegetarian.

Chen Youcong picked up a stack of manuscripts on the shelf and flipped through them carefully, and the drawings were all muscle anatomy diagrams of different parts of the human body, which were densely marked with the names of muscles, what little finger extensors, abductor pollicis longus, and extensor pollicis longus, he had never heard of them. I can't help but sigh that there is a specialization in the art industry, and there are infinite mysteries in every field.

When Zhang Rongkun saw him flipping through those pictures, he said: "This is the muscle anatomy diagram drawn by Wei Zhao, and she said that with these diagrams, it will be more convenient for me to teach my disciples in the future." ”

Chen Youcong looked at these detailed drawings and suddenly thought of a question: "If you want to draw such a picture, you need a lot of actual combat exercises, right?" ”

Zhang Rongkun understood what he meant, and nodded slowly: "That's nature." I respect the deceased and consider it disrespectful to touch the corpse. But without this step, doctors will not be able to understand the structure and principles of the human body, and when saving people, they will rely on their feelings, and they don't know how many patients will be delayed. Between the living and the dead, I choose the living. ”

Feng Hao listened from the side, opened his eyes wide, and quietly smacked his tongue, but he didn't dare to interject.

"And where did these, uh, corpses, come from?" Chen Youcong wanted to know. You must know that most people believe that the body is buried in the ground, and that being dismembered and cut will cause the undead to suffer, and will not be easily used by doctors.

"Bought from the poor at a high price. They died, and their families could not afford to bury them. Some of them were swept up with grass and buried in mass graves, covered with only a thin layer of soil, which was easily picked up and eaten by wild dogs. If they sell it to me, then I will do it for them and bury them properly. So a lot of the money that our master and apprentice make is spent in these places. ”

Chen Youcong nodded solemnly when he heard this. The Confucian education he received in the palace put etiquette and truth in front everywhere, and most of them were retreating. And Zhang Rongkun's speech was very realistic, although he was a little deviant, but he was not pretentious.

A few people chatted, and time passed quickly.

Over there, Zhang Weizhao and Mrs. Han prepared a meal and invited everyone to sit down in the dining room to eat. I saw a large plate of crispy and golden fish on the table, sprinkled with pepper and salt, and bamboo shoots and roasted goose, bad quail, white chopped chicken, and a few vegetarian dishes.

Zhang Weizhao beckoned everyone to sit down, Feng Hao refused to sit down, and he was bound to stand beside the prince and wait for him to finish eating.

For him, the order of respect and inferiority has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, let him sit with the prince to eat, but he can't eat anything, so Zhang Weizhao took a plate, set aside some of everything for him, put it on the small table next to him, and let him eat it himself.

When it was time to start, Feng Hao wanted to taste every dish first, and then let Chen Youcong eat it.

Zhang Rongkun said: "My food here is not poisonous, it is poisonous, and no one can die if I am here." Feng Hao went to eat with peace of mind.

Chen Youcong felt a little sorry, but it was not good to blame Feng Hao, he was just responsible.

Zhang Weizhao secretly sighed beside him, usually in the palace, everyone is used to this set of etiquette, and they don't think it's any better. Now the scene is changed, but it immediately shows that royal life and civilian life are incompatible. Fortunately, she doesn't have to stay in the Forbidden City for the rest of her life, otherwise she doesn't know what it will be like to be depressed. Even now, the tense atmosphere in the palace often makes her feel unfree. Fortunately, you can also go back to the Xuan Miao Temple twice a month, which is also a good adjustment.
