"At the beginning, we were separated from my husband and after the epidemic in Guijun, we walked along Hezhou and Gwangju again, and we heard a lot of legends about Mr. ......"

"After we left Yuezhou, we also heard a lot of rumors of miracle doctors, and the common people all talked about them, thinking that even after thousands of years, this world will definitely spread the name of miracle doctors."

The two talked about what happened after they separated.

The three-flowered cat sat upright on the ground, roasting the stove, and the side of its body facing the stove slowly emitted white smoke.

"That's right—"

Song You talked with him for a long time, and after talking about the old things, he said to Doctor Cai: "A few days ago, I walked on the street and met a lady who talked to Dr. Chen of Jishitang, and then I knew that Dr. Chen was no longer alive, I wonder if the doctor knows?" ”

"I know." Doctor Cai said, "We came back earlier, but then we heard that there was smallpox in Jingzhou, so we went to Jingzhou again, and we have known about it for a long time." ”

"Divine Doctor's Day mourning."

"Alas......"

Doctor Cai couldn't help but sigh, there was a thick sorrow between his eyebrows, and there was a little blame and self-blame in his tone, and a variety of emotions formed a complex sadness: "He is also stupid, but I have more than one copy of half of the medical scriptures, and he only has one of the three copies there, not to mention that even if it is all burned, what is it?" Anyway, I wrote it, and as long as I'm alive, I can write it if I want. ”

Song You carefully understood his words, especially the sentence "As long as I am alive", he always felt some deep meaning.

"I wonder if the one that the doctor brought on him is still there?"

“……”

Divine Doctor Cai was silent for a moment, and then shook his head: "Maybe Heaven's will is really like this." ”

Song You looked at the middle-aged man behind him.

The apprentice, who followed the theologist, said: "On our way back, we took a boat and walked by water, and my brother was carrying his bags, and when he got on the boat, he suddenly lost his foot and fell into the river. Although he was rescued in time, the manuscript in his bag was also wrapped in oilcloth, but it was still wet with water. It happened that the sun was rising that day and there was no wind, so we were afraid that it would break down again, so we had to take it out to dry, but while it was drying, somehow there was a sudden gust of wind, and we didn't snatch it back. ”

"It's all my fault, I can't go on the boat." Another apprentice said, "It's useless. ”

"It's also because I didn't look at the manuscript well, and I should have pressed it with a bigger stone so that it wouldn't be blown away by the wind. Otherwise, if you dry it a little farther away from the river, you may be able to find it back if it is blown away. ”

"It's still my fault."

"Don't blame yourself...... junior brother"

"Don't feel guilty, all of you." The old doctor opened his mouth and coughed twice, "Heaven will make people, no wonder anyone, maybe God doesn't want me, an old man, to write this scripture." ”

“……”

Song You didn't know whether the providence he said was heaven or heavenly palace, and he didn't know the specific situation, so he didn't make an evaluation, and asked instead: "I heard that there is still the last one in the hands of the snake fairy?" ”

"Exactly."

"Is that okay?"

"It's still there." The old divine doctor sighed and laughed, "The snake fairy is a snake fairy after all, not as stupid as us. ”

"That's ......"

Song You narrowed his eyes: "I don't know where the manuscript is now?" ”

"It's still with the snake fairy."

"Oh?" Song You was a little interested, "Didn't the divine doctor get it back?" ”

"Leave it with the snake fairy for the time being."

"Won't the doctor take it back and copy it?"

"I'm stupid, if I take it back, I'm afraid that before I can finish copying it, I'll lose it again, let alone finish writing."

“……”

Song You maintained a posture of opening his fingers and approaching the stove to keep warm, but his eyes were staring at the divine doctor, and then he smiled: "It seems that the divine doctor also thinks that this is too much of a coincidence." ”

"It's all providence."

Doctor Cai looked lonely and only sighed.

"The miracle doctor misunderstood." Song You flicked the Taoist robe on his body, "Although I am from a Taoist temple, I also wear a Taoist robe on weekdays, others say that I am a Taoist and call me sir, I don't refute it, but in fact, I am just a fake Taoist priest." When my ancestors established the inheritance, not only did there be no heavenly palace in this world, but there was no Taoism, and the reason why a Taoist temple was built was just for convenience. ”

"Sir, not a Taoist priest?"

"False Taoist."

"So, sir, don't offer to the gods?"

"Don't worship the gods, don't respect the heavenly palace, only respect the sky." Song You paused, "It's just that with my understanding of the Heavenly Dao in Fulongguan, the Heavenly Dao will not play tricks on the divine doctor like this." ”

"That's what happened!"

Doctor Cai was stunned for a moment, then his face was full of shame, and he leaned over and took his hand and said to him: "I know that Mr. has the ability to reach the sky, just like a god descending to earth, and I know that Mr. is dedicated to the people, and he has been exterminating demons for thousands of miles, and the old man and Mr. have already gone through a distance, and they know the nature of Mr., and they still wonder about Mr., it is really ......."

"It doesn't matter."

Song You lowered his eyes and looked at his hand.

People who know this year do have this habit, it is normal to hold hands and talk, and sleep on their feet, especially the elderly, it is even more difficult to control their emotions. Although Song You was not used to this, he also let the old man grab his hand.

"Therefore, the miracle doctor can speak as bluntly as he can."

"This ......"

Song You saw that he still didn't dare to say it, and just knew what he wanted to say, so he simply smiled and said it for him: "That is, there are gods in the sky who don't want the medical scriptures to come out." ”

"This ......"

Divine Doctor Cai swallowed, and finally sighed: "This is too much of a coincidence. ”

It is normal for people in this year to be in awe of the gods above three feet, Song You did not force him, but just asked him: "But what are the plans of the divine doctor in the future, do you continue to write it, or just put that half of the medical scripture in the snake fairy and stop writing it down?" ”

"Repeated natural and man-made disasters, although they have not hurt old age, but in the past 20 years, they are also tired." Although Doctor Cai said this, his face was full of regret, "Although the old man is famous, from the princes and nobles to the common people, they all have a little respect for the old man, but if it is true...... True fate is like this, how can the old decay compete with the gods? ”

Song You heard that he was not unwilling, but worried, that is, the tiredness on his face, and it was not that he was tired of writing, but that he was tired of these accidents.

However, he didn't ask directly, which seemed to give people some pressure, but said:

"We will go to the depths of Beiqin Mountain this afternoon to visit the snake fairy, after all, the snake fairy is my elder, if the divine doctor is too old to write the second half again, then that's it. The divine doctor does not have to blame himself for this, the people of the world have their own creation, and the living beings will always find a way out, maybe, maybe it is really the destiny of heaven. ”

The old doctor listened attentively, but did not speak.

"But if Doctor Cai is unwilling and still wants to finish writing the remaining half of the medical scriptures, he can explain it to me. In the future, you can try to persuade the snake fairy and ask the snake fairy to allow the divine doctor to go to the lakeside hut to finish writing the medical scriptures. ”

"Can the snake fairy agree?"

"The snake fairy admires the virtue of the divine doctor, and it is the ancestor of my master's family, if he sincerely pleads, although it will be a little troublesome for him, but it may be possible."

"Even if it's written as ......"

Doctor Cai still hesitated: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to get it to the mountain to be printed and spread to the world." ”

Song You knew when he heard him say this, he already had great doubts about the repeated accidents of his medical scriptures, and said that it was an accident, and he thought of the will of heaven, but he definitely felt that there was a ghost.

It's normal to think about it.

These things all happened to Doctor Cai, and Doctor Cai, as a person who experienced it firsthand, could naturally feel more details than Song You, who had heard of it, and perhaps had a clearer perception in the dark. In addition, when a person reaches the age of Doctor Cai and has his experience, there should be a vague understanding of some things, even if he has never been in contact with them.

"Doctor Cai can ask the two disciples to copy half of the part first, take it away from Zaixia, and then write down the other half, still divide it into two parts, and leave it with the snake fairy, and wait for the next time they return to Beijing, and then take it away."

"This ......"

"The miracle doctor can make a decision from the heart."

“……”

Doctor Cai looked down at the fire in the furnace, but there was only a short silence, then he raised his eyes, held the hands of the Taoist with both hands, and sighed: "It is said that the old man has traveled to the north this time, especially Guijun, and has more understanding of medical skills and evil methods that integrate into the disease, and he wants to add them to the medical scriptures......"

"It seems that the miracle doctor has decided."

"People who study medicine have to fight with ghosts and gods."

This miracle doctor squinted his eyes slightly, as if his old eyes were dizzy, and he still seemed to be so angry and invisible, but at this time, his body revealed a rare firmness in the world.

It is the stubbornness of writing books four times in more than 20 years.

"Just sir...... Are you really not afraid of immortals? ”

"I don't know if there are some gods in the next place, but the medical scriptures are in the hands of the next, it is like going to the snake fairy realm, if it is a coincidence, I will try my best to ensure its integrity, if it is the will of heaven, I have to talk to the way of heaven in the next, if it is the gods, it is ......"

Song You paused and smiled slightly:

"If the gods are not gods, they should be annihilated, and they have always been a gentle person, but the temper of the family teacher is not good, and there are many bad tempers among the ancestors of the past dynasties, if you want to say that they love to fight with God the most."

The Taoist's tone was as usual, as if he was just joking, but when Doctor Cai and the others heard it, they could clearly appreciate the confidence and contempt for a small number of gods.

Suddenly, I thought of the snowfields that had been frozen for more than ten years and melted, the mountains that had suddenly appeared on the plains and came from thousands of miles away, the colorful descriptions of the people, the stories of the demon eradication in the north, and the understanding of his temperament when I returned to the county with him, and my heart suddenly settled down.

……

The wind and snow were heavier in the afternoon.

Song You said goodbye to Doctor Cai and asked the swallows in the sky to help him find a small lake with thatched huts in the deep mountains, pointed out the direction for himself, and walked towards that direction.

The snake fairy seemed to know he was coming—

I didn't go far, but when I walked into the inaccessible mountains from the boundary of Beiqin Mountain, there was a huge snake road on the ground, nearly a zhang wide, which flattened the weeds, cleared the snow, and naturally removed the thorns of hibernation. It seems that a road to the mountains has been built for him, making it easier for him to walk.
