Chapter 45: The Sky View
Lin Xingyi is now Chinese New Year's Eve and is the magistrate of Liping County.
Today, the county government has nothing to do, and Lin Xingyi is also idle, he sits alone in the study and reads books.
At this time, a servant outside the door half-knelt on the ground, and he said loudly: "Lord Qiqi Zhixian, there is a letter from the Lord of the Lord's personal Qi. ”
When Lin Xingyi heard this, he put down the book in his hand, opened the door and took the letter from the officer's hand, and told him to retreat.
Closed the door and looked at the envelope in his hand, the date on it was sent two days ago, and the person who sent it was his cousin Lin Zihao, the general judge of Yangzhou.
He opened the envelope and wrote on the stationery, "On April 1, Governor Zhang was in a coma with a strange disease, and the famous doctors in Qiu City couldn't find out the reason, the virtuous brother and Qingchen are the closest, I hope the virtuous brother will go to Lingxiao to ask Qingchen to help, this matter is urgent, please go quickly!"
Lin Xingyi sighed lightly after reading the letter.
He muttered to himself: "Brother, have you forgotten what our family did to him for more than ten years?"
He picked up a corner and tore up the letter, throwing it out the window and scattering it in the wind.
An hour later, Lin Xingyi changed into civilian clothes, arranged the work in the ya, rode a fast horse and galloped away from Liping County, and ran towards Lingxiaoguan.
---------
In Lingxiao Guan, Wu Haowei was looking at a plant classic, which was given to him by Lin Qingchen, asking him to memorize this classic.
But Wu Wei was a little unhappy, he had been coming to Lingxiao Temple for several months, but Lin Qingchen had not taught him any exercises.
His day's arrangement is to go up the mountain to collect herbs and recognize medicines, grind medicinal materials in the temple, and have been dealing with plants all the time.
He asked Lin Qingchen why he didn't teach him the exercises, and Lin Qingchen said: "These are the foundations, you have to lay a good foundation before you can practice the exercises of this sect." ”
When the master said this, Wu Wei naturally listened to him, so he read this book attentively, and now he has memorized all the types of plants on it, the living environment, and so on.
Looking at the book that did not have a few pages, he felt a little happy in his heart, and now he had to put down the book he had been reading for a long time.
It was time to add firewood to the stove in front of him, and he stood up, picked up a bundle of chopped firewood in the corner, and threw it one by one.
In the furnace were the herbs that the master needed to refine the elixir, and he told Wu Haowei to watch the fire here, and the room was filled with the smell of herbs at this moment.
"Squeak" The door opened, and Lin Qingchen walked into the house.
He walked up to Wu Haowei and asked, "How long has Haowei been boiling medicine?"
Wu Haowei replied: "Master, it's been two hours. ”
Lin Qingchen nodded, he lifted the lid of the stove with his hand, and saw the brown decoction inside and many herbal residues.
Closing the lid, he said, "Just stay up for another half an hour." ”
Wu Haowei nodded, then he picked up the book and said to Lin Qingchen, "Master, I'm going to finish reading this book." ”
Lin Qingchen's expression was a little surprised, and he said, "Oh, have you memorized all the contents there?"
This book is not thin, and it is meaningless if Wu Haowei simply reads it without memorizing the contents.
Wu Haowei said affirmatively: "I remember everything, Master." ”
Hearing Wu Haowei's answer, Lin Qingchen had a smile on his face.
At this time, there was another knock on the door, and a disciple walked in, his hands folded and he bowed slightly.
He said, "Master, there is a Mr. Lin Xingyi who asks to see Master. ”
Lin Qingchen said: "Okay, Haowei, I'll test the content of your book when I have time." ”
After speaking, he followed his disciple out Wu Haowei saw the two leaving, picked up the book and continued to read.
The disciple took Lin Qingchen to the main hall where the guests were picked, and at this moment Lin Xingyi was already sitting inside waiting for him.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Lin Xingyi turned his head and saw him come in, so he stood up, and Lin Qingchen waved his hand to let the disciple go down first.
There were only the two of them in the room, and no one spoke for a while, and the atmosphere was very quiet.
Lin Xingyi spoke first and said, "Qingchen, we haven't seen each other for a long time. ”
Lin Qingchen said: "Please sit down and drink tea." ”
Lin Xingyi sat down in response, thinking about how to ask Lin Qingchen for help.
"Let's play a game of chess. Lin Qingchen spoke first.
At this moment, Lin Xingyi is wording, and playing chess also gives him time to think, which is just right.
So Lin Qingchen held the black son, Lin Xingyi held the white child, and the two played against each other.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing. ”
Lin Xingyi asked.
"It's not bad," Qingchen replied softly.
"My father is still talking about you from time to time. ”
Hearing this, Lin Qingchen frowned and was a little displeased, he didn't want to mention that strange father.
"I haven't seen you for more than ten years, why did you come to me?" Lin Qingchen didn't answer his words again, but asked directly.
"Okay, then I'll also say it bluntly, the prefect of Qingchen Yangzhou is in a coma with a strange illness, and I want to ask you to help me diagnose and treat it. ”
Lin Xingyi explained his intentions, and Lin Qingchen replied: "Why are you looking for me?
Lin Xingyi said: "Yes, I have already searched for famous doctors in the entire Qiu City, but they can't diagnose it, and the time is pressing, so please help." ”
Lin Qingchen asked again: "Then why are you looking for me?"
Lin Xingyi replied: "Qingchen during this time, I have heard from you, you often treat some patients who cannot be treated in Langzhong, and they are all cured, under the word of mouth of people, your name will naturally spread farther and farther, Qingchen This matter is urgent, the prefect is an indispensable figure in Yangzhou, we hope he can recover as soon as possible." ”
Qingchen stopped Luozi's hand, put the chess piece back and didn't speak, he stood up and muttered for a while without words.
At this time, a person came in to break the silence, it was Lin Qingchen's disciple, he came in and saluted and said, "Master's lunch is ready." ”
Lin Qingchen said: "Okay, let's serve." ”
After saying that, the disciple went down to prepare, Lin Qingchen turned to Lin Xingyi and said, "Let's eat first, we'll talk about what you said later." ”
Lin Xingyi came all the way, and before he knew it, it was already noon, and he was also a little hungry, so the two moved to the room next to them.
The dishes have been served, and there are really a lot of styles, three cold dishes, six meat and vegetarian dishes, and two soups.
Lin Xingyi saw so many dishes at a glance, and there were more than a dozen seats, and he knew in his heart how many people there were in this Taoist temple.
Lin Qingchen invited Lin Xingyi to sit on the table, and the other disciples also walked in and sat down one by one.
Of course, Wu Haowei also came, looking at the stranger sitting next to Shizun, it was the first time he had seen him.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lin Qingchen said, "Let's eat." ”
So everyone started to move, and there was no speech during the meal, only the sound of the collision of dishes and chopsticks.
After lunch, the disciples cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Lin Qingchen and Lin Xingyi returned to the main hall and continued their chess game.
There were more blacks on the chessboard and fewer whites, and the two continued to play, but Lin Xingyi was very anxious at the moment, and he didn't know if Lin Qingchen was willing to go with him.
His mind was not on the chessboard at all, Lin Qingchen also saw his thoughts, and he knew that Lin Xingyi was not easy to speak.
So he took the lead and said, "Is this prefect from the Lin family?"
Hearing Lin Qingchen speak, Lin Xingyi hurriedly replied: "No, the prefect's surname is Zhang, he is old, and he should be the deepest one in Yangzhou in terms of qualifications." ”
When Lin Xingyi said this, Lin Qingchen understood what he meant, this prefect was very helpful to the future of the children of their Lin family.
Lin Qingchen then fell, Lin Xingyi looked at the chessboard and said, "I lost." ”
After speaking, he put the chess pieces back in his hand, and seeing that he admitted defeat, Lin Qingchen also put the chess pieces back into the chess box.
He stood up and said, "Sit down for a while, and I'll take you with you." ”
When Lin Xingyi heard this, the look on his face relaxed.
Lin Qingchen continued: "I didn't do this for the Lin family, but to save a life. ”
Lin Xingyi didn't take this sentence to heart, as long as Lin Qingchen was willing to go with him.
Lin Xingyi was overjoyed and said, "Okay, I'll wait here, you can go quickly." ”
Lin Qingchen looked at Lin Xingyi's excited appearance, and felt a little helpless, but his benefactor, his master, taught him that saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter.
He couldn't see death without help, so Lin Qingchen walked out of the door and called all the disciples.
It was briefly explained that he was going to go out, and the eldest disciple would manage all the affairs of Xiaoyun Temple, and he would also bring his second disciple and the youngest Wu Haowei together.
After explaining everything, Wu Haowei walked up to Lin Qingchen and asked, "Master, I haven't finished reading this book yet, where are we going?"
Lin Qingchen smiled and said, "Let's go, come back and see again, go out with the teacher and teach you the rest." ”
Hearing this, Wu Haowei became excited, and his eyes lit up.
