Chapter 42: The Mountaineer
The sky is white...
The two little larks also flew back at some point, chirping and playing on the big banyan tree, occasionally hooking their heads to look at the Taoist who was eating qi and practicing under the tree.
And at this time, on the cold mountain trail...
An Jiuling led a middle-aged man who was about thirty years old to climb the stairs, and the middle-aged man's face was full of urgency, as if he was troubled by something.
Behind them, there were a few people carrying a rather peculiar seat, and on the seat was a half-grown child with spasms in his hands and feet, his eyes rolling, and a little foam at the corners of his mouth...
The middle-aged man looked a little haggard, and from time to time he glanced back at the half-grown child tied to the seat, his eyes full of distress.
He wiped the sweat stains on his forehead, turned around and asked cautiously, "Brother An, Dr. Tong said that there is a miracle doctor on this mountain who can cure dog hysteria, but I don't know what to call it?" ”
"Lord Zhao doesn't need to worry too much."
An Jiuling could also see the anxiety in his expression, and explained with a smile: "The one on the mountain is my uncle, and my uncle is the master of this cold mountain. ”
"Daoist..."
Hearing that the other party was a Taoist priest, the middle-aged man who was called Lord Zhao was shocked, because of some things, he had also asked some Taoist priests to exorcise evil spirits and cure diseases, but the effect was very small, so he did not have a good impression of those Taoist priests who were swaggering and cheating.
"Brother An, I can't hide it..."
He sighed and said: "The dog has had this hysteria for some time, and I have also sought medical treatment everywhere, not only Dr. Tong, but also other doctors have also said that the hysteria of the dog is caused by unclean things on the body, and the Taoist chief on the mountain should be able to cure this disease, right?" ”
"I can't promise you..."
An Jiuling changed his words as he spoke, and said quite firmly: "But I think, if even my uncle can't cure Ling Gongzi's hysteria, then no one in this Gusu area can be cured." ”
When the middle-aged man who was called Lord Zhao heard this, he wanted to say something in a good tone, but when he thought of this request, he could only echo: "Hope." ”
His real name is Zhao Chenghui, and he is the capital inspector of Gusu City, responsible for managing the local city appearance, public security and other matters, and he can be regarded as a sesame official who has just entered the rank...
He has an upright personality, is an honest official, and is also a good hand at investigating and handling cases, and is well-known among the people.
A few days ago, after his only son came back from a trip, he got sick and got hysteria for some reason.
He sought medical treatment everywhere to no avail, not only is it difficult to heal the medicine stone, but it also doesn't work to listen to the earth's recipe to ask someone to remove the pollution...
It happened that I heard that Dr. Tong's hand disease in the Tong Family Medical Center had been cured, so I went to seek medical treatment, but after seeing it, Dr. Tong also said that the disease might be caused by unclean things, and it was not a medicine stone that could be cured.
Just when he was desperate, Dr. Tong asked An Jiuling to lead the way and asked him to take his only son to Taixuguan to try.
So the fire came...
When you are halfway up the mountain...
Zhao Chenghui raised his eyebrows, and saw that another group of people were also climbing the mountain, and the goal seemed to be too vain.
The group was led by a woman in white, followed by a middle-aged man with a strip of cloth wrapped in his left hand, who seemed to have a wound on his hand, and several people, although tall and strong, but all carrying burdens, obviously all of them were servants and other characters.
The woman in white seemed to be watching the scenery along the cold mountain trail, walking without hurry, so the pace of the few people behind her was not fast.
The Hanshan trail is not wide, and the group at the front door carries the burden to occupy most of the mountain road, and the group behind carries the patient and can't pass.
Zhao Chenghui was already anxious about his son, and when he saw this, he frowned slightly, and called: "Zhao didn't want to disturb the heroes watching the scenery along the way, but the dog was seriously ill and was in a hurry to go up the mountain to seek medical treatment. ”
“……”
Jin Chuanchang saw that someone was disturbing the interest of the saint, and just wanted to turn around and scold the other party for being blind, but before he could speak, he was stopped by the saint with a wave of his hand.
Lu Zhaozhao glanced back at the group of people behind him, as well as the half-grown child who was tied to the seat, and said with some surprise: "Ling Lang seems to be stained with evil spirits?" ”
Zhao Chenghui was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "I forgive you for being clumsy, but I didn't see that the girl was also a doctor." ”
"I'm not a doctor..."
Lu Zhaozhao shook his head and asked curiously, "I just heard that you went up the mountain to seek medical treatment, but what you asked for was that Zhang Zhang?" ”
"This ......"
Zhao Chenghui glanced at An Jiuling beside him with some embarrassment, and said, "It was the doctor Tong in the city who introduced Zhao here, and Zhao didn't know the name of the miracle doctor he was looking for. ”
An Jiuling interjected: "My uncle is the master of Taixu, and his name is indeed Zhang Taixu, does this sister know my uncle?" ”
Lu Zhaozhao looked at An Jiuling with interest, and asked with a smile, "Zhang Taixu is your uncle?" ”
"yes."
An Jiuling nodded and explained: "My master was also a monk in Taixu in his early years, but he was still vulgar more than ten years ago, my master said that 'Taixu' is the Taoist name of the master of Taixu Guan in the past dynasties, and the master and uncle were both disciples of the master Zhang Yangming, and they were privately called brothers and sisters, and now Zhang Taixu is naturally my uncle." ”
"Hehehehe~That's right~"
"Sister, do you know my uncle?"
"There was a one-sided relationship..."
Lu Zhaozhao smiled and nodded, then waved his hand to signal the group behind him to give way, and said, "I also came to visit your uncle today, since you are eager to seek medical treatment, why don't you go first?" ”
"Thank you for your kindness."
Zhao Chenghui saw that the other party gave way, and hurriedly thanked him, and then waved his hand to signal the person carrying the chair to follow him.
"Thank you sister for your kindness..."
An Jiuling also thanked him and said with a smile: "I still have to lead the way, so I won't talk to my sister more." ”
"Go ahead."
Lu Zhaozhao bowed slightly...
The two pedestrians who met on the mountain road, the first one gave way, and the latter came first, but the water met.
But for some reason, Lu Zhaozhao saw the pedestrian hurriedly going up the mountain to seek medical treatment, and his interest in the Taixuan seemed to be stronger, not only to investigate the whereabouts of the 'Holy Seed', but also to be curious about the Taixu ......
"Keep up, don't bother people to seek medical treatment..."
"Yes......"
The two groups of people successively arrived at the mountain gate of Taixuanguan.
An Jiuling saw that the mountain gate was wide open, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Uncle Shi, the disciple has brought someone to seek medical treatment!" ”
"Come in..."
I didn't see anyone going out to greet me in the void view, but a voice like an echo of the hollow valley came out in the view...
An Jiuling's face was overjoyed when he received the response, he waved his hand and made a gesture to keep up, and then trotted all the way into the Taixuguan Mountain Gate.
Zhao Chenghui led people to follow up...
And Lu Zhaozhao hesitated, and also led someone in.
The two pedestrians entered the Taixuguan Mountain Gate one after the other, and their eyes were just attracted by the big banyan tree that covered the sky, and they saw a Taoist with a warm face holding a whisk in his hand, and he ushered in a small square step.
An Jiuling saluted: "The disciple has seen Uncle Shi. ”
Zhao Chenghui saw that the main master was actually a young Taoist, and he was also a little stunned, but thinking of the purpose of this trip, he hurriedly put down his posture and bowed his hand to greet: "Contemptible Zhao Chenghui, I have seen the Taoist." ”
Not far behind them, Lu Zhaozhao saw that Zhang Taixu also saw him, and he also arched his hand, but he didn't say anything, obviously not wanting to disturb others to seek medical treatment.
"Poor Dao..."
Zhang Xiuyuan also returned the salute, although he didn't know why Lu Zhaozhao and Jin Chuanchang and his party came here with a burden, they also bowed their heads slightly.
"Uncle Shi, the patient is here..."
An Jiuling pointed to the half-grown child who was about the same age as herself, but was tied to the seat, and explained: "Master said that the patient has hysteria, it seems to be caused by unclean things, medicine is difficult to treat, Master is not good at this, you need to treat this disease." ”
Zhao Chenghui's beloved son was heartfelt, and hurriedly added: "The dog was out playing a few days ago, and for some reason he contracted a cold when he came home, got hysteria, and sought medical treatment everywhere to no avail. ”
"Hysteria?"
Zhang Xiuyuan saw the half-grown child tied to the seat, saw that his hands and feet were spasmodic, his eyes were white, and the corners of his mouth were overflowing with white foam, and he was also a little suspicious in his heart...
Maybe because he was holding the dust whisk, he really found some dirty air on this kid's body that didn't belong to him...
And it's obvious!
"Poor Dao first look and then make a decision..."
Zhang Xiuyuan walked to the chair, opened his eyelids and looked at it, pinched his mouth and looked at it, and then checked his pulse.
It is almost certain that the child's illness was indeed caused by something unclean!
Be...... Ghost?
