The meadow by the lake is old, the trees are all withered, and the dead leaves have fallen to the ground, but the bamboo forest behind the thatched hut is still dark green, all with their heads bowed, and it is a little dark in the dusk sky.

The surface of the lake is quiet and quiet, clearly reflecting the bare branches on the shore, and a lot of fallen leaves have fallen, floating on the surface of the lake like a boat, a sense of gloom, but it also has a unique flavor when you look closely.

A Taoist took a little girl and a jujube red horse into this world, as if he had no intention of breaking into an autumn and winter picture.

There are still boats on the lake, and there are still fishing boats on the boats.

"Poof......

The horse snorted lazily.

Song You walked to the lake and stopped, and saluted him silently.

The little girl also stood on the shore, raised her head and stretched her neck to stare at the old man on the boat, her eyes were intent, and her face was serious. After looking at it for a long time, she made up her mind and took a tentative step forward.

Embroidered small shoes, treading water but not sinking.

Not even a ripple rippled.

It's her new use of the water splitter.

The little girl carried her blanket and walked forward slowly, stopping from time to time, looking back at the Taoist priest who had already walked to the bamboo house, the horses standing on the shore watching her, and the swallows flying wildly in the sky, afraid of the underground snake fairy and not daring to come down easily, gradually came to the boat.

Leap into the boat.

"...... Uproar"

The hull of the ship is stressed and sways from side to side.

The mirror-like surface of the lake finally rippled, and it didn't settle down for a long time.

The snake fairy still sat upright, silent.

It's just that there's an extra rod next to it.

“！”

The little girl looked up at him, her eyes were like cats, she didn't say anything, she just picked up the fishing rod tentatively while staring at him, and when she saw that he didn't react, she shook her head and sat down casually.

Hang the bait, cast the rod, and wait for the fish to take the bait.

"Squeak......

There was a knock on the door of the hut in the distance, which attracted her to look over there, but she only glanced at it, and then withdrew her gaze and focused on what she was doing.

Song You had already entered the hut.

There was nothing special in the room, but it was a little dim because it was getting dark, and there was an oil lamp lit, and there was a strong smell of ink, and the wind came in through the window, blowing the sound of turning paper.

"Whoa......

The foliage shakes, and the sound is good.

There is both a table and a bed. The table is a large tree stump that Song You took to the deep mountains to get flattened, and the bed is a simple wooden frame bed, with a layer of bamboo fence on top and a futon. At this time, two figures were copying by candlelight, sleepy and tired, and one was lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, as if he was terminally ill.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed, both of them looked over.

"Song ...... Mr. Song? ”

"Sir is back?"

"I'm back." Song You walked in, and when he saw the cold wind coming in with him, he closed the door again, "Have you finished writing the medical scriptures?" ”

"It's been written, it's been written three months ago." One of the apprentices replied, "It's just that the master told us to hurry up and copy it a few more times in order to make it convenient for Mr. to help spread it." ”

"It's been a lot of hard work."

Song You walked in as he spoke, and at first glance he looked at Doctor Cai who was lying on the bed.

Doctor Cai is still like that, his hair is like three winter snow, and his beard is like the old autumn frost, but he is already haggard, and he is dazed at this time, as if he is asleep, and he is not even aware of his arrival, and he is as angry as a gossamer.

"What's wrong with the Divine Doctor?"

Song You sat down and looked at it carefully.

It was only then that Divine Doctor Cai opened his eyes, which were already cloudy, and looked up at him—as if to indicate that he was not really asleep, but just lacked the strength to wake up.

The divine doctor raised his hand slightly, opened his mouth and said:

"Sir is back......"

The voice was hoarse, barely silent.

"I just returned to Changjing, I haven't seen you for three years, why is the divine doctor so haggard?" The Taoist lowered his head slightly, calmly staring at him.

"It's old, almost."

"Master's health was not good last year, but the medical scripture has not been completed, so he has been holding on, and after the medical scripture is written, he will not support it, and he can't afford to get sick." An apprentice followed Song You to the bed.

"Master said that his limit is approaching, his wish has been fulfilled, and it is time for dust to return to dust." The voice of another apprentice came from the side of the table, and he also temporarily stopped his pen and turned his head to look, "It should be caused by the fact that it was too hard and tiring to walk in the north, and it hurt the roots, and it was not well recuperated." If you take medicine to prolong your life, you can actually delay it for a few more years, but the master is unwilling. ”

"Old ......"

Divine Doctor Cai seemed to hear the words of the two apprentices, and only muttered: "Life and death are fate, glory and withering, neither illness nor injury, why fight with the sky, what's the point of delaying for a few years?" ”

The two apprentices looked at each other, both sighing.

Then I couldn't help but look at the Taoist, wanting to see if the Taoist would have a few words of persuasion, or other immortal techniques that could persuade the master, or rejuvenate the dead.

But I saw the Taoist smile slightly: "The divine doctor is free and easy." ”

"Old age is a blessing ......"

The two apprentices couldn't help but look at each other again.

Then I heard the Taoist say, "The divine doctor is calm, and the two high-ranking disciples should not be anxious. Death is not the end of life, let alone the merits and conduct of a miracle doctor, no matter what, it will live on forever. At present, there are three halls in the ghost city of Fengzhou, and the position of the palace king of the third hall is reserved for the divine doctor. ”

Hearing this, both of them opened their eyes.

On the contrary, it was Doctor Cai who opened his eyes and looked at him, raising his hand and waving it.

"The divine doctor should not be polite, although the position of the palace monarch is high, there are still countless yin officials under his jurisdiction, and there is no need to do everything himself. Now that the ghost town is newly completed, the position of the third palace is vacant, and a person with great virtue and great merit is needed to sit in it, so as to ensure that the bottom will not be crooked. Song You said, "With the virtue and merits of a divine doctor, it is more than enough to serve as a palace monarch." ”

The eyes of the two apprentices widened as they widened.

I had heard from the story before, I heard that a certain fair person in a certain place was of noble character, loved to do good deeds, and had a good reputation in the local area, so before he died, he dreamed of a god, saying that he had merits in the world, and asked him to go to heaven or where to be a god or priest after he died. This duke then told his family not to be sad, and made some arrangements, and when he died, he was confirmed according to his method, and sure enough, he went to be a god.

But most of the people in the story are just petty officials.

Who would have thought that the plot in the story actually came to the side.

But it was not said by the gods and immortals, but by a Taoist in the mortal world, but he was not a petty official or a god, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was the king of a hall in the underworld.

If it spreads, I am afraid that it will be another story that people talk about, and I don't know how many years it will be passed on.

How could the two apprentices not be shocked.

The doctor closed his eyes, as if he no longer refused, and seemed to have no strength to speak.

"Rest well."

Song You said to him, and then turned around again: "Please also show me the medical scriptures." ”

"Good!"

Immediately, an apprentice retrieved a complete manuscript of the medical scriptures.

Song You took it in his hand and looked at it casually.

It was just a manuscript, page by page, stitched together with a needle and sewn into a book, far fluffier than ordinary books, but not as neat as ordinary books.

This book, which is destined to have a great impact on the world, has been written, but there is no vision of heaven and earth, nor any treasures, not only is it mediocre, but it even looks a little rougher than most of the well-bound books in the bookstore. Perhaps its brilliance will slowly dissipate over the next few hundred or thousands of years, and it will only be seen by those with discerning eyes.

"It's been a lot of hard work."

Song You took a cursory look at it, then put it down, and then walked out of the hut.

It's starting to get dark outside.

The boat was still floating in the middle of the lake, and two figures, one old and one young, sat on the boat, each holding a fishing rod, and hung into the water.

At this time, the little girl was reeling in the fish.

Song You is also moving forward, treading water as if walking on the ground.

"The matter of Fengzhou is quite a big trouble."

Before Song You could get closer, the snake fairy opened his mouth first.

The little girl beside her was stunned when she heard this, and she was puzzled for a while, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at this old fishing friend who had not said a word from the beginning to the present, and then followed him to look at the Taoist.

"I have no choice but to do so."

"I heard you killed the Giant Star God?"

"If a god is not a god, it should be slaughtered." Song You replied very calmly, "In the past three years, thank you to the snake fairy for helping to wait for the divine doctor." ”

"It's a gesture."

"I wonder if anything has happened in the past three years?"

"Yes, not much."

The snake fairy naturally understood that he was asking the Heavenly Palace if there were any means to prevent the medical scriptures from coming out in the past three years, so he replied while pulling the rod: "These are all small means, which are not easy to detect. ”

"I'm in trouble with the snake fairy."

"I can't call it." The snake fairy said, and didn't look back, "It's the Cai Divine Doctor in the house, I'm afraid I don't have a few days to live." ”

"yes......"

"His apprentice is not right, it's not that he lasted until the medical scripture was written, and then he didn't hold it anymore, but he lasted until the medical scripture was written and then fell, and then he held on until you came."

"yes......"

Song You nodded indifferently, as if he also realized this.

All of a sudden, the desolation and loneliness of the north and the wind and snow seemed to have returned to the eyes, and the miracle doctor took his apprentices and went north against the wind, how could the demeanor be written in a few words?

Fortunately, it is really as those words said-

In this world, in this year, death is really not the end of life.

The miracle doctor does not live up to the people of the world, how can the people of the world bear the miracle doctor?

Even if you live and die, there will be a time to say goodbye.

Song You got on the boat, sat side by side with his own child, watched her fish seriously, and talked with the snake fairy about the ghost city of Fengzhou and the underworld, and talked about the five elements of the earth, until the sky was dark and turned into ink, Song You could hardly see anything clearly, only the snake fairy and the cat were still fishing, and there was often the sound of water, so he continued to talk with the snake fairy in the dark night.

The candlelight flickering in the hut by the lake is the only light in the dark world.

I don't know how deep the night was, suddenly a wind came into the house, blew out the candles, and after a while it was lit up, and soon after, the shouts of two apprentices sounded in the house.

Doctor Cai said goodbye to Yang Shi tonight.

When he walked out of the house again, it was no different from when he first saw him in Hezhou, his hair was like three winter snows, and he had to be like nine autumn frosts, not stained with the dust of the world, but with a few more touches of fairy energy.

Reincarnated and rebuilt, Xia Jing helped the fairies resolve the catastrophe, but it also became the biggest catastrophe for the fairies.
