Zhang Weizhao has always been a pragmatist. Before the crossing, she did not believe in reincarnation, but believed that reincarnation was just a collective illusion developed by people in the face of a great fear of death. She believes that life is only once for everyone, and the best choice you can make is to make this limited life more meaningful. This is also a big reason why she became a psychiatrist.

She wants to discover the true meaning of life, and she wants to live authentically.

But she found that for some unknown reason, she actually got another life, which completely subverted her previous cognition. No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't explain why it was happening. She decided to put the issue aside for now and go all out to face her most pressing issue right now: survival.

The first thing she did was dress herself up as a boy. The second thing is to try to understand the basic laws of time and space in which you live, such as geographical environment, social makeup, and linguistic habits. The third thing is to find yourself a suitable place to settle down, as well as a legal identity.

The encounter with Zhang Rongkun gave her a passage into this world.

Zhang Rongkun is tall, with a prominent forehead and embarrassed eyes, and is a decisive and very manly person.

Since childhood, Zhang Rongkun has followed his master Chen Jinghe to become a monk, and he has also inherited his master's medical skills.

Chen Jinghe was a particularly generous and benevolent Taoist, in addition to medical skills, he was also proficient in astronomy and arithmetic, which he unreservedly taught to Zhang Rongkun.

Chen Jinghe has more than one apprentice, but Zhang Rongkun is definitely the one who stands out and leaves his peers far behind. He was not only gifted in medicine, but also in arithmetic and instrument making.

What is very rare is that Chen Jinghe will not restrain him with the rules and precepts at all, but let him explore freely. Before Chen Jinghe ascended, he entrusted the Xuan Miao Guan to Zhang Rongkun.

The Xuan Miao Temple became Zhang Rongkun's testing ground. He blew up the single room twice in alchemy, knocked the dead twice (because others did not dare to pick up the dying patient, he dared to pick it up), bought the corpse and came back for autopsy, and was taken to the government to sue him several times. Fortunately, he was a skilled doctor, saved countless difficult patients, and had a lot of prestige and connections in Beijing, but in the end, these things were all gone.

His junior disciples asked him to resign one after another, saying that although he was reluctant to be a senior brother, he had to say goodbye with tears just because he was interested in deepening his cultivation in famous mountains and rivers and places where spiritual energy gathered. After saying goodbye, they went out one by one and walked quickly, leaving only Zhang Rongkun alone in the mystical view.

Although the mystical view is not big, it is too lonely for a person.

Zhang Rongkun hired an old couple, the old man helped him watch the door, and the old woman helped him with laundry and cooking.

Zhang Rongkun also had the idea of accepting apprentices, and when the news came out, there were really people who ignored his reputation as a mad Taoist and showed the courage to go to Hushan to carry out the disciple ceremony.

The first apprentice stayed in Xuanmiaoguan for two months. One day, Zhang Rongkun taught his apprentice to peel off the skin of one arm before it got dark. The apprentice gritted his teeth and peeled off. That night, the apprentice woke up from a nightmare, trembling until dawn, and went home on leave and never returned.

The second apprentice was not afraid of peeling the skin, but when Zhang Rongkun asked him to peel off the moth that was about to break the cocoon as a medicine primer, he faced the distorted moth in the peeled cocoon, and the dense silkworm eggs laid by the moth that had broken out of the shell on the meadow under the cocoon, breathing faster, cold sweat, and finally broke out of the door, and he never came back.

For several years after that, Zhang Rongkun had no idea of accepting apprentices.

It's just that in recent years, Zhang Rongkun has seen that he is also in his sixties, and as the saying goes, it is rare for people to live for 70 years, and they don't know which day they will go west. If I am gone, wouldn't anyone take care of these bottles and jars in the Xuanmiao Temple, Dan Furnace herbs? Therefore, I thought about teaching an apprentice well.

In recent years, the drought in the northwest has been repeated, and the continuous invasion of the border by Warat has caused many hungry people to come from the northwest to the east. Zhang Rongkun once passed in front of the City God Temple and found several stray children nesting in the doorway of the side door.

Zhang Rongkun is worried, these children have traveled a long distance and have been trained, so they should be bolder. And their composition is more complicated, although most of them are poor and have not read any books, but there are also some children with good backgrounds and good qualifications, because they have encountered military disasters, their families are ruined, and they are trapped in the homeless people and drift here.

But he didn't plan to rashly accept apprentices, he still had to try it out and pick a good one.

He bought a packet of sesame seeds, wrapped them in lotus leaves, held them in his hands, and walked up to the children.

Most of these children have hollow eyes and numb expressions. Only when they see food will their eyes light up and they will swarm over.

Zhang Rongkun found a long branch, drew a nine-square grid on the ground, and said that if anyone could fill in the number correctly, he would burn it to whomever he wanted. But if he doesn't fill in the gap, he's going to hit someone. This question is quite tricky, you know, it is not uncommon for people to be able to read and write nowadays, but there are really not many people who can do arithmetic. But Zhang Rongkun didn't want to find a nerd, so he came up to take the arithmetic exam first.

Zhang Rongkun has always had the momentum of ghosts, so those children didn't dare to make a mistake, just watched the fire burn and swallow and foam, and no one dared to step forward.

After a while, a skinny teenager squeezed in from the perimeter. Seeing Zhang Rongkun, he saluted first, and then picked a branch and began to fill in the empty grids.

He wasn't very skilled in writing, but he got it right in one breath.

As he was writing, Zhang Rongkun took a closer look and found that although the boy was extremely thin, he could still see that his eyebrows were straight, his bones were well-proportioned, and his hands, face and clothes were cleaner than those of other children.

After he finished writing, Zhang Rongkun didn't rush to burn the fire to him, but asked him, would you like to go with me? I can feed you and have a place to live.

The boy did not answer him immediately, but looked him up and down with his eyes, and asked, "What do you want me to do?" ”

Zhang Rongkun replied briefly: "Study medicine." ”

The young man burst into a big smile: "Okay, I'll go with you!" ”

Zhang Rongkun sorted according to his own door, and gave the child a Taoist name called Wei Zhao.

The boy was honest, and when he looked back, he said, "I'm actually a girl." ”

Zhang Rongkun said: "I don't care if you are a man or a woman, I just see if you have the ability to enter this industry." If you don't have the ability to enter this industry, you will leave. ”

Facts have proved that Zhang Weizhao's ability is extraordinary.

Zhang Rongkun showed Zhang Weizhao an introduction to pharmacology at the beginning, and Zhang Weizhao couldn't recognize many words. Zhang Rongkun wondered, since this kid even knows Jiugongge, how can he not recognize all the words. As a result, it didn't take long for Zhang Weizhao to read the prescription well. When I asked her what was going on, she said that she was frightened on the road and forgot a lot of things, but now that her life is stable, she remembered it again.

Not only can he read, but Zhang Rongkun also found that Zhang Weizhao's understanding of pharmacology is even better than him in some aspects. Asked if she had studied before, Zhang Weizhao replied that she had learned some from a foreign monk in the Western Regions when she was at home before. Although Zhang Rongkun was surprised, he had also seen foreign monks in Beijing, and some of them did have superhuman insights, so he didn't delve into them anymore.

Another thing that surprised Zhang Rongkun was that Zhang Weizhao was extremely bold, not only was he not afraid of those snakes, scorpions, centipedes, and all kinds of strange medicinal things, but he also never shied away from life and death. Even if he went to Yizhuang at night, Zhang Weizhao dared to follow, which made Zhang Rongkun feel like he had picked up a treasure.

How did he know that Zhang Weizhao was a psychiatrist in his previous life, which means that in addition to psychological training, Zhang Weizhao also received rigorous medical training and obtained a doctor's license, she is not only qualified to give psychological counseling, but also has the right to prescribe.

So although pharmacy, internal medicine, and surgery are not Zhang Weizhao's direction, she still understands the basics. This knowledge sometimes makes Zhang Rongkun feel empowered and solves his long-term confusion. It's just that whenever he asks Zhang Weizhao where he learned it, Zhang Weizhao always says that he is a foreign monk from the Western Regions, and over time, Zhang Rongkun doesn't ask anymore.

It's just that these are not the things that surprised Zhang Rongkun the most.

Zhang Rongkun was most surprised by Zhang Weizhao who said that she and the foreign monks of the Western Regions learned the art of medicine (in fact, it is not wrong, psychological counseling was originally developed from the Catholic confession system).

What is Healer? Zhang Rongkun felt that this was a trick. But soon Zhang Weizhao let him see that it is not the solid things such as decoction, pills, and acupuncture that can cure people's diseases.

Intangible things such as emotions, emotions, and thoughts can also heal.

The first time Zhang Weizhao let Zhang Rongkun see the effectiveness of the medical heart technique was three months after accepting the apprentice. The Qian family, a mule and horse dealer in the west of the city, invited Zhang Rongkun to see a doctor. The family has just had the eldest grandson, and the little baby is similar to the children of Cai Yuan's family, who also cry day and night, are particularly frightened, do not eat well, and have a yellow face and thin muscles.

Some people say that this child has yin energy in him. Children have never closed their eyes, and it is easy to see things that adults can't see, so don't be entangled in some dirty things, right? The so-called dirty things are nothing more than spirits or ghosts.

But the mage invited a lot, burned talismans, chanted mantras, and invited the gods to try, but it didn't work at all.

Asking for a famous doctor doesn't solve the problem,

In the end, the family invited Zhang Rongkun.

Zhang Rongkun also brought Zhang Weizhao here, and when he asked for a consultation, he asked her to watch from the side.

This child has no other problems except that his stomach is a little weak. However, there is no necessary connection between weak stomach and night terrors.

Just when Zhang Rongkun was thinking deeply, Zhang Weizhao found an excuse to pull him aside. Said it would be best to visit the place where the children lived.

Zhang Rongkun thought it was strange, they were Taoist doctors, but they were not feng shui masters, and they didn't need to look at the furniture. But he couldn't bear Zhang Weizhao's resolute attitude and repeated requests, Rong Kun told the family that if they wanted to get better quickly, let them go to the place where the child lived.

Naturally, the child lives with the son and daughter-in-law of the family.

The Qian family was born as a businessman, and they didn't pay so much attention to it, so the child's mother held the child by herself, and took the master and apprentice to the next courtyard.

The child's grandmother was not at ease, so she followed behind her, nagging all the way. The daughter-in-law of the Qian family just kept silent and let her nag.

After looking at the yard, Zhang Weizhao chatted with the child's mother again. There is no mother who doesn't like to talk about her children with others, and she can't stop talking as soon as she opens it. The child's grandmother couldn't interject and walked away stupidly. left but was unwilling, so he called his daughter-in-law outside the courtyard with a straight voice and called her away.

Zhang Weizhao already had a plan here, so he called the master aside again, pointed to the big-leaved poplar tree in the courtyard and said, "I have to let this family cut down the poplar tree and replace it with a peach tree." In addition, I have to tell the family that wherever there is such a child, speak in a low voice.

Zhang Rongkun frowned and glared at Zhang Weizhao, speechless for a long time.

Zhang Weizhao said in a good voice, please believe her this time, and when she returns to the view, she will explain it to the master.

Although Zhang Rongkun glared and frowned, he knew that Zhang Weizhao was a reliable child, and since she said so, she would try as she said.

I turned my head and said to the in-laws of the family that the child is not a big problem, and there is no need to take medicine, as long as there are two things, first, cut down the poplar tree in the small couple's yard and replace it with a peach tree. Second, please ask family members to speak and walk lightly.

The family was taken aback. The poplar trees have grown so big, and the summer is just the right time to enjoy the coolness. What does this tree have to do with a child's night cry? Could it be that this tree has grown up, what kind of spirits have grown?

Moreover, the Qian family was originally from a Zhuang family, and gradually made a fortune after doing the business of mule and horse dealers. The family went straight and straight, all of them had a loud voice, and when they suddenly saw the child, they had to lower their voices, which felt weird and awkward.

Boss Qian asked Zhang Rongkun why this was.

Zhang Rongkun glanced at Zhang Weizhao, meaning that I still have to go with you. He coughed and said, "Sometimes the disease is in the gut, and sometimes the disease is in the soul." The peach tree nourishes the soul; The quiet room relieves the soul. ”

The Qian family listened to a half-understanding, and probably understood that their poplar trees and their loud voices would scare the children's souls away. In the past, they also called souls to children, but they didn't expect to raise souls and strengthen souls. Zhang Rongkun: Who is that? If the imperial doctor in the palace doesn't understand something, he still wants to come to him, since he said it, just do it.

On the same day, the poplar trees were cut down and the peach trees were planted. The family members lowered their voices when they spoke, and they all walked lightly. Even the mother-in-law, who was used to scolding her daughter-in-law, began to have scruples when she spoke.

Seeing that the Qian family really listened to their words, Zhang Rongkun and his apprentices went back to the Taoist temple.

On the way back, Zhang Rongkun couldn't help but ask Zhang Weizhao, cut down poplar trees and don't let people speak loudly, this is the medical heart technique?

Zhang Weizhao nodded.

Zhang Rongkun asked, "Where is the medical theory?" ”

Zhang Weizhao came to his senses and complained to his master: "Master, don't you think that the big-leaved poplar trees in this yard are too loud when the wind blows?" It's so loud during the day, and even louder in the dead of night. The family also spoke loudly, especially the voice of the mother-in-law scolding her daughter-in-law. We're still at their house, she's like that, and we don't know what will happen when we're gone. With that loud voice, I was shocked when I heard it, let alone such a small baby. Isn't it easy to be frightened? ”

Zhang Rongkun also made sense when he heard it. Can it be so simple to cure a disease? This made him very suspicious.
