Chapter Fifty-Nine: A Professional Smirk
"Damn it!"
Zhang Ran scolded secretly, this county magistrate of Daxian County, who has never met before, is really a good calculation!
But then again, these patients are only waiting to die if they continue to stay in the city, and the fatality rate of this plague is too high, close to 100 percent.
With Zhang Ran's medical skills, he is helpless enough to use spell runes to trick himself, not to mention this kind of third-rate Langzhong in a small county town, no matter how he treats it, he can't be cured anyway.
Moreover, according to the example of the two deceased people in Chong County, the patient will also be raised under the action of some kind of spell after death, and become a walking corpse that pounces and bites.
Not only will their bodies be stronger, but they will also be accompanied by corpse poison, not to mention the fact that it is not known if they will continue to spread the plague while spreading corpse poison......
For the safety of the people in the city, it is not unreasonable for the county order to make such a decision.
……
After scolding the county government manager a few times, Zhang Ran strode towards the patients.
Seeing that everyone was desperate and waiting for death, Zhang Ran deliberately said loudly:
"Poor Dao is the Taoist doctor of Youfang, and the medical skills are passable, you don't have to be so desperate, Poor Dao can save you!"
Such confident words seemed to be a shot in the arm, giving the desperate eyes of the patients a little more life.
Zhang Ran first carefully examined several unconscious people lying on the board car, and couldn't help frowning.
These comatose people have shown all the symptoms and could die at any moment!
"Can't put it off any longer!"
Zhang Ran immediately shouted to the city:
"You need some medicinal materials and tools to boil medicines to cure diseases, can you provide them?"
When the city heard about it, they reported it again.
After a while, a burly man in the uniform of a county lieutenant stood upstairs and answered:
"That traveling doctor, there are not many medicinal materials in the city, and they are ......"
"It's okay, the poor road only needs some very ordinary medicinal herbs!"
Then, Zhang Ran said a list of names and quantities of medicinal materials, and the county magistrate of Da County was suspicious:
It's that simple?
Considering that the cost is not high, and it can collect some people's hearts, at least to convince the people that the yamen is doing its best, the county magistrate of Daxian County immediately made a decision:
"Wait!"
It didn't take long for the city gate to open again, and a group of panicked servants dragged a cart of medicinal herbs, pots and bowls out of the city.
As soon as the things were put down, they hurried back to the city, and the gates were closed again.
Zhang Ran didn't say much, only commanded some patients with mild symptoms, let them set up a pot, chop wood to start a fire, and fetch a lot of water in the pot, and Zhang Ran personally put all kinds of medicinal materials into the pot to boil......
When everything was ready, it was already completely nightfall.
The flames licked the cauldron, and it became the only light in the night, and Zhang Ran was standing solemnly in the light of the fire, looking at it with a somewhat sacred feeling.
Hundreds of patients waited quietly in the distance, spontaneously distancing themselves from Zhang Ran, they didn't know that he would not be infected, but they were unwilling to transmit the disease to the life-saving doctor of the hospital......
"It's time!"
Zhang Ran in the firelight quietly walked into the darkness, looked at the patients in the distance, and then looked at the city tower lit by only a few torches, and after making sure that no one could see him, he summoned Ah Qing, who had been holding sundries next to him in a daze.
"What?"
Ah Qing is puzzled, it's refreshing for me to play soy sauce here in a daze, what are you asking me to do? Miss Ben doesn't know how to heal......
"Give me something."
Zhang Ran took the sundries bag she was carrying, took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from it, and grinded a lot of ink on the spot.
Call~
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Ran put a pile of hundreds of pieces of white paper on the ground, and then took the pen and silently cast a spell:
【Clear Plague Runic Water】!
With the loss of spiritual power, the familiar magical power converged on the tip of the pen, and Zhang Ran began to draw talismans......
"It's just such a simple medicinal herb, put it in a pot and cook it?"
On the tower of the city, the trio of county officials are gathering here.
The county lieutenant frowned and said:
"I still don't believe it's that simple, this You Fang Lang is a liar!"
Although he doesn't know medical skills, he at least has some common sense, if this plague is really so easy to treat, will the few medical centers in the city be helpless?
"I think this guy has some way."
Xian Cheng glanced at the city from afar, but the black light was blind, and he had not reached the advanced realm of night as day, except for the fire of cooking medicine, he naturally couldn't see anything.
"Medical skills have always been simplified, maybe this person's medical skills have reached the realm of returning to the basics, and the combination of ordinary medicinal materials is enough to achieve extraordinary curative effects."
"And he just took some worthless medicinal herbs, what's there to deceive!"
The county magistrate shook his head, and then looked at the county order who seemed to be closing his eyes and resting on the side.
"Let's wait for the county to come back and then decide......"
……
Here, Zhang Ran is putting down the pen, thanks to the mysterious vitality replenished in time, after drawing this full hundred blank papers, the mental power consumed alone can already drain him alive three or five times!
However, there is a reward for his efforts, and these 100 rune papers are his results.
"I miscalculated, I only brought more than a hundred pieces of paper when I went out, I thought I could replenish them in various counties, but now I can't even enter the door......"
Zhang Ran sighed, and he didn't know if these hundred Qingwen talismans could save these hundreds of people.
He was about to put these runes into the cauldron of boiling medicine, but he heard an ethereal voice say:
"Fellow Daoist, the merit is immeasurable!"
Zhang Ran's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly looked around, but he only saw the tiger dozing off, and Ah Qing with a confused face, and there was no one around.
"Poor Road is here."
With another sound, Zhang Ran saw that there was a looming phantom floating not far away.
The phantom's figure and face were blurred, as if his body was covered with mosaics......
Zhang Ran is not the same as before, and he reacted to what this was the moment he saw this phantom:
"Are you...... Daxian county order? ”
"Exactly down there."
The phantom calmly admitted, just like the out-of-body spirit of the county order of Chongxian County, this phantom is the primordial spirit of the county order of Daxian County!
"The county lord came to look for me at night, but what's the matter?"
Hearing Zhang Ran's question, the county magistrate of Daxian nodded:
"Before Poor Dao came over, I saw that Daoist friends only boiled them simply with ordinary medicinal herbs, and thought you were a liar quack."
"And after watching you draw talismans, I understand that the decoction is just a signboard, but in fact, Daoist friends are ready to use spells to save people!"
After that, the county commander Yuanshen changed his words again and said:
"Daoists are born with great luck, and they encounter the inheritance of divine cultivation, why not enter the imperial court to show their skills?"
Zhang Ran was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the county master on the other side regarded him as a loose cultivator, so he made a statement to solicit him.
"Forgive me, I am used to being a doctor, I am afraid that it will not match the imperial court."
Zhang Ran decisively refused.
The county magistrate of Daxian County was not annoyed, as if he had expected this, so he smiled and saluted:
"I don't know what to call you?"
Zhang Ran also returned the salute with a smile:
"If you don't change your name, you don't change your surname, you can't change your surname, you can't do it!"
……
Not long after the conversation, the county ordered the spirit to return, and Zhang Ran also greeted:
"Ah Qing!"
"In!"
Ah Qing, who had been trying his best to lower his sense of existence in front of the county commander Yuanshen, suddenly became energetic again at this moment.
"Divide medicine for the people with me, remember, don't be paralyzed, be smiling."
Zhang Ran approached the cauldron and threw a pile of rune paper in his hand without a trace, and the rune paper melted into the water......
Zhang Ran held the spoon in one hand, while Ah Qing held the bowl, and each time he poured a spoonful of medicinal soup into the bowl, Ah Qing handed the bowl to a patient.
Following Zhang Ran's order, Ah Qing kept having a smile on her face, but after all, she was a snake and didn't have a good grasp of human facial expressions, and this smile made people feel fake when they looked at it.
The patient, who originally wanted to thank her, couldn't help but panic when he saw Ah Qing's weird smirk, and he couldn't say anything until he came to his mouth......
Zhang Ran silently observed the patient who took the decoction:
"A hundred parts of rune water have been exchanged for hundreds of people, and I don't know what the effect is......
Then it turned out that although it was diluted a lot, the rune water was still rune water, and the effect was not enough at most, but it also reduced the symptoms.
In the early morning of the next day, the county commander of Daxian County, who had communicated, sent someone to send a lot of blank paper, so Zhang Ran cast a spell again to make a decoction, and this time, the patients were finally completely cured......
After "Zhang Jiao" cured everyone, he rode a tiger that day and left with his maid Aqing, and they had to go to other counties to continue to treat the epidemic.
Although the miracle doctor is gone, the reputation of the "Zhang Jiao" miracle doctor has left a deep impression on the cured patients, so much so that it is still praised many years later!
It's just that its image has changed, and the "Divine Doctor of Zhangjiao" has gradually become a local god riding a tiger from You Fanglang, and in addition to driving away plague and curing diseases, the priesthood occasionally works part-time to marry and send children......
Of course, the most unforgettable thing is the maid Ah Qing, her professional smirk made her an exorcist goddess under the seat of Zhang Jiao's divine doctor, and her terrifying smirk made future generations shudder......
