At noon the next day, on the plain.

The Taoist passed through two more villages, as usual, only a short pause, and stayed for a while, and then walked north along the official road, and the three-flowered cat beside him also followed with small steps.

Suddenly, the cat stopped, its ears pricked up, its head twisted, and looked in a distant direction.

This is what cats do a lot.

Walking on the road, no matter what strange wind and grass happens, it will attract her attention.

Cats have different senses and brains than humans, and they are used to contact a world that is different from humans.

Only this time she stopped and looked at it for a while, turned her head again, and saw that the Taoist had already walked out of a section, so she immediately ran after it, and said to the Taoist:

"Someone's shouting over there!"

"Really? What to shout? ”

"Shout, and wolves."

"Huh?"

Song You followed her gaze.

The wind seems to really blow a wolf howl and people's shouting, vague, almost imperceptible, if it is not for the Sanhua Niangniang's keen hearing, people just hear, I am afraid that it will also be regarded as a murmur in the wind.

It just so happened that there was a small dirt slope in front of me.

Taoists and swordsmen stood on the dirt slope and looked into the distance.

The earth is flat, the fields are mostly barren, the official road has been discounted, and there are some figures entangled in the distance, the three that grow tall and upright are obviously people, and the rest are small black dots that surround the three people, and try from time to time.

"I'll go first!"

The swordsman immediately turned around and ran backwards, and as soon as he turned over, he got on his horse, and his movements were clean and decisive.

"Tosh!"

"Ask if it's Doctor Cai."

"Got it!"

The black horse suddenly ran and rode into the dust.

Song You and Sanhua Niangniang also quickened their pace and rushed to that side.

This side is too vast, and many places look close, but it will actually take a long time to walk, but the swordsman has already ridden away, and Shu Daxia is trustworthy.

By the time a man and a cat approached the side, the swordsman had already solved the trouble.

I saw three people standing behind the swordsman, the first of whom was an old man, wearing the clothes that doctors often wore in those years, sixty or seventy years old, with a thin figure, hair like three winter snow, and beard like nine autumn frosts. It's just that maybe it's been walking in the north in the past few years, exposed to the wind and sun, and tired, and should have a ruddy complexion and a childish face, but at this time, the skin is inevitably a little dark, the cheeks are also a little chapped, and the lips are also skinned.

The two apprentices around him, about thirty or forty years old, were also wearing similar clothes, one was carrying a medicine box and a medical flag, and the other was carrying a travel box, and the trousers had been torn off, both of them were in shock.

Three wolf corpses nearby.

One was shot through the head by an arrow, another had half of its head cut off by a sword, and the other had a bloody hole in its body.

The rest of the wolves had already been frightened and ran far away, looking at this side from afar, not knowing what to think.

"Sir."

The swordsman immediately came up and said, "This is none other than Divine Doctor Cai. ”

"Sure enough, it's Doctor Cai, it's polite."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Doctor Cai was shocked, returned the salute to Song You, and quietly aimed at this Taoist.

Just one look, it's a surprise.

He has the ability to look at people's faces and know people's diseases, and he also has the ability to see people's anger and know people's strengths and weaknesses, just like the swordsman who just saved them, you can see at a glance that martial arts should be the best in the world, and Doctor Cai has never seen such vigorous vitality, but looking at the person in front of him, even he doesn't know how to describe it.

"I don't know what to call Mr.?"

"The surname is Song Mingyou, a native of Lingquan County, Yizhou."

"Thank you Mr. Song and Shu Daxia for your help." Doctor Cai hurriedly said, "Where did you think that Hezhou has only been deserted for a long time, and there are so many beasts on the roadside?" ”

"It always has been." Song You replied, "As soon as people retreat, the beasts and demons will be like weeds, and they will come back immediately." ”

"If it weren't for Mr. Song who happened to pass by, I am afraid that we would suffer a catastrophe!"

"It's no coincidence." Song You smiled and said, "I'm chasing Doctor Cai all the way." ”

"Oh?"

Doctor Cai looked at him stunned.

Song You didn't answer in a hurry, but asked, "Doctor Cai is going to Hanshu County?" ”

"Let's go to Lingze County first."

"That's also a way, don't dare to delay, so please talk while walking."

"Good!"

"The Divine Doctor wants to ride a horse?"

"The old decay can walk, walk."

“……”

Song You didn't persuade much, he only looked back at the few wolves on the ridge in the distance who were still staring at his group, waved his hand, and these wolves immediately turned around and left, and then said as he walked: "Presumably, this is the first time the divine doctor has heard the name of the divine doctor today, but we have admired the divine doctor for a long time." ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be."

Doctor Cai only thought that he had heard about his affairs in Hezhou, and hurriedly waved his hand.

"I don't know about the divine doctor, I came from Changjing, and I had already heard the name of the divine doctor when I was in Changjing."

Song You turned his head to look at this legendary doctor with great medical skills, he was not sure before, but now that he has walked through Hezhou, he already knows that this is destined to be a figure who will be famous for eternity.

Thousands of years later, the names of many emperors will not be as loud as his.

Such a person, Song You naturally has a lot of respect for him.

Of course, it is not because he has a lot of respect for him because he will be famous through the ages, but because he has excellent skills and virtues, so he has been passed down through the ages and is respected by others.

"When I was in Changjing, I went to Beiqin Mountain twice to visit the divine doctor. One was in the early summer of last year, the other was last year's winter, and the most recent one has been a year. Later, when I came to Hezhou, I often heard that Dr. Cai Shen's kindness of practicing medicine and saving people without fear of epidemics was even more admired. ”

"Mr. went to Beiqin Mountain to look for old decay?" Doctor Cai also seemed to be a little surprised, and then said, "The old man has already come to the north, and Mr. must not have found it, but he let Mr. run away." ”

"The second time I went to Beiqin Mountain, I already learned from the snake fairy that the divine doctor came to the north." Song You replied, "And the scenery of Beiqin Mountain is outstanding, and it is impossible to talk about running in the air, not to mention that although I didn't find Dr. Cai in Beiqin Mountain, I also had a different harvest." ”

After a pause, he said to Divine Doctor Cai: "Now that I think about it, I didn't meet the second time at that time, but I didn't have a chance for the time being, but my fate with the divine doctor is here." ”

"Snake Fairy?"

Doctor Cai was a little surprised again: "Mr. actually saw the snake fairy?" ”

"See." Song You still replied, "Speaking of which, the snake fairy is still an old friend of the ancestor, and he is half of his junior, and chatting with his old man for a day will give him a lot of gains." ”

"I don't know ...... Mr.

"It's called Fulongguan."

“……”

Doctor Cai didn't seem to have heard of the name of Fulongguan, but he immediately said: "It turns out that Mr. Song is actually a master of cultivation, no wonder it is so unusual." ”

"Bo has a way."

"Why did you come here?"

"Traveling down the mountain, walking the world, swimming to Changjing, and then swimming to Hezhou, to the northern border, naturally passing through here."

"It's a mess in the north."

"How can this place not be chaotic?"

Hearing this, Doctor Cai couldn't help but turn his head to look at Song You, and Song You also looked at him, one old and one young looking at each other.

I want to ask why Song You went north.

Why don't you ask the doctor why he went north?

"The north is in turmoil, demons are everywhere, epidemics are rampant, although there is no divine doctor to save people, but he is also proficient in the ability to subdue demons and eliminate demons." Song You said to him, "I came to the north, first, to see what kind of situation this troubled world is, and secondly, to learn about the demons of this troubled world and how much style they have. ”

"But ......"

Divine Doctor Cai frowned, and said to him thoughtfully: "I heard that from Guijun to the north, there is a snowfield in the middle, and there is a great demon, and the gods can't get rid of it. Even General Chen Ziyi, a few months ago, bypassed Guijun after passing the Beifeng Pass and went to Yanzhou from the other side. ”

"That's fine."

"Sir!"

"Bo has a way."

Song You didn't want to talk about this kind of thing more, so he immediately asked: "At this time, the north is chaotic, and the divine doctor is walking in it, why don't you bring one or two guards?" ”

"Plague is rampant here, and how can any guards want to follow? What's more, even if I encounter mountain bandits and thieves, I will not be embarrassed. Doctor Cai said, pausing, "But some time ago, there were indeed two Jianghu people from Yanzhou who were willing to escort the old decay, but the plague was like a tiger, and both of them unfortunately contracted the disease and died in Bexue one after another." I heard that this plague came from the demons of the snow field, and most of the old man and his two apprentices had also lived in Beiqin Mountain for many years, and they were stained with the immortal qi of the snake fairy, so they could be spared. ”

Doctor Cai couldn't help but sigh as he spoke.

"I see."

Song You nodded, looked at the deserted fields on the side of the road, and continued to ask, "I've been waiting all the way, and I heard that the divine doctor has a cure for this nine-day epidemic?" ”

"It's not a cure, at most it's a coping method." Doctor Cai immediately frowned, "This nine-day epidemic is quite strange, it has been studied for a long time, but there is really a method, although this method is not perfect enough, sometimes it is cured, sometimes it is not cured, but the strange thing is that even if it is cured, it will recur in a few days, no matter how useless it is, it seems to be an evil law." ”

"It is indeed an evil law."

Song You nodded in confirmation of his guess.

In ancient times, there was no separation between doctors and witches.

In these years, people with excellent medical skills also understand some shallow metaphysical knowledge. When he practiced medicine, he inevitably encountered the symptoms of evil and loss of soul, and it was difficult to distinguish whether it was a disease or an evil disease, so he naturally had some ways to deal with metaphysical symptoms. Even now, there are still many doctors in remote places who treat diseases and save people not based on prescriptions, but mainly on occult arts.

"Sir, too?"

"Along the way, there was also some exploration, so I dared to talk to the divine doctor."

Song You truthfully said to Doctor Cai: "Don't hide it from the Divine Doctor, this nine-day epidemic is probably indeed from the demons, which includes both demon magic and evil magic, as well as epidemic poison and disease, the two are deeply entangled, and it is difficult to separate. If you only get rid of the evil spells and do not treat the symptoms, it will be difficult to save people, and if you only cure the symptoms and do not get rid of the evil spells, even if you are cured, it will happen again. ”

"Sure enough!"

"It seems that the divine doctor has thought of it too." Song You said to him, "You can easily get rid of the demon magic and evil arts, but the pathology of the nine-day plague is extremely complicated, and the patient's symptoms are from head to toe, from the inside to the outside, but it cannot be cured by the next spiritual power. ”

"Is that true?"

Divine Doctor Cai's gaze instantly became eager.

"I am willing to help the divine doctor."

Song You met his gaze and said: "On the next journey, some of the villages that I have passed by in the past two days have been administered by the divine doctor, although the medicine given by the divine doctor cannot be cured, but with the spiritual power below, it seems to have a great effect on the treatment, but unfortunately I am in a hurry to find the divine doctor, I dare not stay longer, and I have not carefully observed." ”

"If it is true as Mr. said, maybe there will be a cure."

"When I came down to find the divine doctor, I wanted to inform the divine doctor, so that the divine doctor would not take more detours in a hurry, and only devote himself to dealing with the symptoms in the demon plague, I believe that with the skills of the divine doctor, it is not difficult. As for the demon magic and evil arts, it really can't be cured by medicine, so just leave it to you. ”

“……”

Doctor Cai pondered as he walked, pondered for a while, and then said: "The old man has already studied it, and if there is another gentleman to help, it will be much easier." ”
