Zhou Zheng was slow to see a doctor, so he naturally couldn't completely follow the old man's requirements and end the consultation at noon. He continued until the end of the day, when he had seen enough of a hundred patients, and then returned to the hospital with Qi'er.

This time, Qi'er took him directly into the inner courtyard and saw the old man again in a study.

"Sir." Zhou Zheng saluted, and then quietly waited for the old man's command.

"How many are you?" The old man was sorting things out, and he didn't even lift his head.

"There are thirteen of them, and basically two more needles will heal them. There are also thirty-six, I feel that I have found the disease, but the needle has no obvious effect, and I think I may not have found the right acupuncture point. ”

"What about the remaining fifty-one?"

"I don't know what to say. However, I wrote down all their symptoms, and I told them to come back tomorrow without having to... Line up. ”

Zhou Zheng was worried in his heart, this was his private decision, and he did not have the consent of the old man. He was worried that doing so would break the old man's rules.

However, the old man never looked up, and he couldn't see if he was angry. Just pointed to the medicine boy standing beside him, "Gui'er." ”

The medicine boy named Gui'er immediately took a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and put it in front of Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng immediately understood that the old man was asking him to write down all the symptoms of those people. He didn't dare to slack off, recalled carefully and carefully, and wrote them all on the paper one by one, for fear of missing a little.

It wasn't until he finished writing and handed it to the old man that the old man stopped what he was doing and glanced up.

"This is a continuous high fever caused by convulsions. If you use a needle, you need to prick ten fingers with a sharp needle, and the bleeding is good. However, at the end, add some herbs. With Bupleurum chinensis, ginger Banxia, Codonopsis, is it a child? Then add some ginger, licorice, and dates. Remember? ”

"Remember!"

"Look at this one, the cough doesn't stop ......"

The old man spoke in detail, and Zhou Zheng listened very carefully. Sometimes, he really couldn't remember the name of the medicine, so Zhou Zheng took a pen and wrote it down on the paper first, and then he was afraid that he would be confused, so he simply wrote down everything the old man said, and then sorted out and digested it later.

"Do you remember them all?"

"Remember!"

"Alright, let's get to work!" As he spoke, the old man called for his son.

"Sir, may I take a leave of absence?"

The old man frowned, "What for?" ”

"I want to go and get the kid's fever cured first. I have had a high fever for two days in a row, and I am afraid that it will not be good for the child's health to delay any longer. ”

"Do you know where they live?"

"I've asked them to leave their addresses."

The corners of the old man's mouth curled up slightly, imperceptibly. "Go ahead! But I'll only give you half an hour, and there's more work in the afternoon! ”

"Mr. Xie!"

From this day on, Zhou Zheng's tense and busy, uneventful and miserable life began.

Every day, he would get up before midnight, put hundreds of medicinal herbs into shallow bamboo baskets, and put them on shelves in the yard to dry.

At the hour of the hour, he began to sit for consultation and ask questions, until noon or before the hour, and sometimes it was delayed until the time of the hour.

Zhou Zheng has his own ideas, the patient who was not optimistic on the first day, and when he comes the next day, he will definitely not let the family queue up again. However, the 100 people who were already waiting in line could not be driven away just because the number of patients on the previous day was added. Zhou Zheng felt that this was unfair.

Therefore, he gave a look at the disease.

He originally wanted to explain to the old man and make the old man accommodating. Unexpectedly, the old man asked the medicine boy Astragalus to bring him a message: Zhou Zheng has the final say on the matter of the Divine Medical Hall!

This made Zhou Zheng overjoyed, and at the same time, he secretly guessed in his heart whether the old gentleman planned to accept himself as an apprentice?

But I didn't plan to study medicine! He came here to heal his wounds, to let the old man help him hide his breath! He's going to Maisendai for revenge! He's going to find that great monk of Jinguang!

However, the old gentleman never said it, and he didn't dare to ask. After all, this is begging someone to do something, and you can only bow your head first!

In the afternoon, Zhou Zheng first reported to the old gentleman about the morning's experience and difficult problems. Follow the instructions of the gentleman and prescribe the medicine.

Shen Shi, carrying a bamboo basket on his back to the mountain to collect medicine.

At first, Zhou Zheng felt that this task was the easiest, because no more than five kinds of medicinal herbs were collected every day, and the place where it grew was not a steep and dangerous place. Even if it is, with his skills, it is a piece of cake.

So, as long as you memorize the shape of the herb, picking is easy.

But on the first day, he almost gave up.

For no other reason, his spiritual power was suddenly locked in his body, and he couldn't use it at all, and he completely became a mortal. Moreover, his body weighed as much as a thousand pounds, and he was so tired that he was sweating profusely and panting like a cow when he took a step.

He finally climbed down the mountain before the time of his son, and by the time he was a foot away from the courtyard, he was too tired to stand up. Finally, gritted his teeth and crawled into the yard on his knees.

At that time, the two medicine boys, Astragalus and Angelica, were standing at the gate of the courtyard, but no one stepped forward to help him, just watched him quietly.

It wasn't until he climbed into the courtyard that he reached out and carried him, and put him into a vat full of unknown potions, and soaked all night.

The next day, as usual.

Two days later, Zhou Zheng had the courage to ask the old man about his spiritual power being locked up and his body weighing a thousand pounds.

The old gentleman was very face-saving, and immediately opened his mouth to solve his doubts.

It turned out that the treatment of spiritual disorders was completely different from the treatment of ordinary diseases, and on the first day of Zhou Zhenglai's arrival, he pricked himself with needles, so it caused the current situation.

Zhou Zheng's face turned white with fright.

"Sir, is there a way to crack it?"

"Yes!" The old man pointed to the thousands of medical books on the bookshelf behind him, "The way to crack it is in these books, you look for it slowly!" ”

Zhou Zheng almost collapsed. With so many books, to find the Year of the Monkey?

However, there is always a way to do it better than no way.

He was ruthless, and every day he tried to come back from the mountain early even for a quarter of an hour, and before entering the medicine tank at the time of his son, he could see how much he could. Over time, there will always be a time when you will finish reading all these books!

On this day, he carried the bamboo basket up the mountain again. One of the herbs harvested today grows halfway up the mountain. In a hurry, he tried to make himself go as fast as possible.

But even so, by the time he had finished collecting all the medicinal herbs, it was already completely dark.

He has long been accustomed to walking through the mountains and forests, so he is not nervous.

Today, however, something is different. He was subconsciously on guard.

After walking a few steps, I suddenly heard the cry of a child in the distance, and the faint sound of man and beast fighting in the distance.

Zhou Zheng guessed that this should be an adult taking a child into the mountain and meeting a beast. Now, adults should be entangled in wild beasts.

However, the cry of a child will undoubtedly attract more beasts.

Zhou Zheng didn't want to care, and the key is that he doesn't have the ability to care now. But the child's cry touched his heart.

He picked up a long stick from the ground and walked over with heavy steps.

A six- or seven-year-old child was placed on a tree branch, and not far away, a middle-aged man was fighting with a colorful tiger.

That man was probably a human-level cultivator, so in the face of the tiger's attack, he fought very hard with his bare hands.

The child was crying because there was a tiger under the tree, trying to climb up the trunk to bite him.

Seeing that the tiger was about to climb the branch, Zhou Zheng shouted, picked up a stone and threw it at the tiger.

The tiger was startled and quickly jumped under the tree.

However, when it turned around and saw that Zhou Zheng was alone, it roared in a low voice and bared its teeth and pounced on Zhou Zheng.

If the spiritual power is still there, for Zhou Zheng, destroying the tiger is a matter of snapping his fingers. But now, he has to use his strength to even lift his feet, let alone fight.

The tiger pounced on him directly.

Thanks to his rich experience, he used a wooden stick to block the tiger's bloody mouth at a critical time, so he didn't break his neck with one bite.

The tiger was unwilling to be so deadlocked, and hurriedly withdrew. Zhou Zheng also took the opportunity to stand up.

The tiger circled around Zhou Zheng, and Zhou Zheng also held a stick in both hands and waited for him.

Suddenly, the tiger pounced again, and Zhou Zheng tried his best to turn sideways to the side, and then picked up the stick and hit the tiger's front door, and it hit the tip of the nose.

The tiger hurried away, rubbing its nose with its front paws. The nose was soft, and the stick whined in pain.

Zhou Zheng was also uncomfortable, the bite just now hit him again, and the tiger's front paws still scratched him fiercely on the shoulder.

Fortunately, his current body is equivalent to a vajra covered iron cloth shirt, otherwise, his shoulders must be blurred with flesh and blood.

The tiger was enraged, and it pounced on Zhou Zheng again regardless of it.

The wooden stick that Zhou Zhenggang picked out was easily dodged by it and bit it, and then, after snatching it violently, he rushed to bite it again.

Zhou Zheng couldn't dodge and couldn't dodge, so he could only protect his head with both hands.

The tiger's massive body slammed into his chest, knocking him to the ground while biting his arm firmly and not shutting down.

At the moment of the fierce impact, Zhou Zheng felt that the lock in his body was loose, and a trace of spiritual power seeped out. It was scarce and short-lived, and it was about to disappear in the blink of an eye, and the time left did not allow him to cast spells at all.

But Zhou Zheng didn't dare to miss such a rare opportunity. Between the lightning flashes, his mind suddenly popped up with a description of the luck of fitness and strengthening the meridians in a medical book he had just read a few days ago, and then suddenly remembered that Qing You had punched him.

He hurriedly clenched his fists, gathered all that trace of spiritual power on his fists, and relied on the power of qi and blood to hit the tiger's head with all his strength according to the gourd drawing scoop.

Listening to a muffled bang, he clearly heard the sound of broken bones.

The tiger didn't even scream, and died on Zhou Zheng's body.

However, the weight of three or four hundred catties weighed down so that Zhou Zheng, who was already under the weight of a thousand catties, couldn't get up.

After a while, just when Zhou was worried about whether the tiger would wake up and bite him, the middle-aged man finally killed the tiger fighting him and hurried over.

He first calmed the child, then came to Zhou Zheng's side to help him get up, and used his mana to kill the tiger as well.

The middle-aged man's name is Shao Hui, and he lives at the foot of the mountain. This time, I brought my children to the mountains to hunt a wild boar and improve my life. Unexpectedly, I encountered two fierce tigers.

He was very grateful to Zhou Zheng for saving his child's life, and said that he would have to carry Zhou Zheng, who was having difficulty in moving, to go back.

But Zhou Zheng didn't dare to cheat, for fear that the old gentleman would get angry and punish him, so he took a break and insisted on going by himself.

Shao Hui held the child in one hand and two tigers in the other, and happily went down the mountain with Zhou Zheng.

With these two tigers, their family doesn't have to worry about not having enough to eat for at least half a year!

Along the way, the two talked as they walked. Only then did Zhou Zheng know that Shao Hui was a hunter at the foot of Tianlu Mountain before.

One day, an immortal named Yuan Miao on the mountain passed by their house and said that he and his wife had fairy roots and were willing to take them as apprentices.

Shao Hui was naturally happy, not only worshipping the immortal chief as his teacher, but also eating and drinking well all the time to entertain the immortal chief.

The immortal chief taught Shao Hui some spells, and let him go to the mountains alone to practice and practice.

And his wife and children stayed at home to take care of the immortal.

After two months of returning, Shao Hui found that the immortal chief actually used his mother as a furnace ding, not only sucking away all the Yuan Yin, but also refining his mother's soul into a puppet.

He knew that he couldn't beat that person, so he took the risk of going up to Tianlu Mountain to complain. Unexpectedly, none of the immortal elders on the mountain believed him, and they slandered him as a demonic person and wanted to kill him.

In a panic, he chose to jump off a cliff. Fortunately, he fell into the water and did not die.

Later, he overheard that the demon cultivators were all in Blackwater City, so he took his children to find this place and make a home here.

He wants to avenge his wife, even if he is enchanted!

Zhou Zheng was very sympathetic to Shao Hui's plight, but at the same time shocked. He didn't expect that the disciples of the Seven Great Sects would have such shameless people.

He could see that Shao Hui did have a spiritual root, but that guy named Yuan Miao didn't teach him the correct cultivation method at all.

If he continued to practice like this, Shao Hui would not only self-destruct his meridians, but would even easily go mad and become an unconscious walking corpse.

This Yuan Miao is too vicious!

Zhou Zheng said his worries, and Shao Hui instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

After hesitating for a moment, Shao Hui suddenly pulled his child and knelt in front of Zhou Zheng.

"Demon Lord, please accept our father and son! As long as we can avenge the child and his mother, you let us be cows and horses, and you let us go to the soup and fire, we will not have a word of complaint! ”

"Brother Shao, get up quickly. Look at me like this, I can't take care of myself, how can I avenge you? ”

Shao Hui shook his head, "Demon Lord, I don't know what you're practicing, although it's very difficult for you to walk now, but you can tell at a glance that my exercises are wrong, and you don't need mana to crack the tiger's skull with one punch, this kind of skill can only be done by the cultivation of the Heavenly Rank!"

I inquired about that Yuan Miao, he is a disciple of the Tianlu Mountain, but his qualifications are very poor, and he has barely stepped into the Heavenly Rank until now. Demon Lord, you will definitely be able to kill him! ”

Zhou Zheng has a big head, and he is extremely disgusted and hated for this kind of person who regards human life as a mustard for his own selfishness, but now, his own situation does not allow him to meddle in this kind of grievance. So, he wanted to refuse.

However, when Shao Hui's child held on to his trouser leg tightly and did not let go, and those pleading eyes looked at him, his heart softened suddenly.

He thought about it again and again, and finally nodded.

"I can teach this kid, but revenge needs to come on his own!"

Shao Hui was overjoyed, and he was going to apprentice with the child.

Zhou Zheng hurriedly stopped.

"My master is not here, and I can't take in disciples without his permission. Let's write down the name first. Every day from now on, you will wait for me in the mountains and forests where we meet, and I will teach him the art of vomiting and basic spells. You... You can also follow along! ”

Hearing this, Shao Hui was overjoyed, regardless of whether Zhou Zheng wanted it or not, he and the child respectfully kowtowed to Zhou Zheng nine times.
