Chapter 36 A healer who does not heal is a murderer

"Go to your parents, little boy. Daozen smiled helplessly.

The little doll that was given to Daozen Bamboo Dragonfly last night followed Daozen and grabbed the corner of his clothes and didn't let go. Daochan looked at this piece of dog skin plaster, and for some reason the other southerners stayed away from him, lest they have anything to do with him.

"It seems that he is in love with Your Excellency. Nan Ping Feng stood beside Dao Chan.

Dao Chan told him not to leave within three steps of him, and although Nan Ping Feng already knew that Dao Chan would not really kill people, Nan Ping still did as he said.

"I think this doll is quite close to you, why don't you take care of him for a while?" Dao Chan pushed the little doll to the side, and the little doll followed by herself.

"A gentleman does not take the favor of others, and it is inconvenient to meddle in the subordinate. ”

"A gentleman still needs adult beauty. If you want to be reasonable, I know this well, and we can discuss one or two. ”

"It's not a gentleman down there. ”

Daozen stared at the south screen with a strange expression.

Nan Ping laughed, and then said: "I have been incognito, hiding everywhere, for so many years, I have never been found by others, I don't know how Your Excellency found you?"

"Why, a person as transparent as you still cares so much about this kind of thing? Didn't you expect this day to come?" Dao Chan rolled his eyes.

"It's not because I really care. Look at your age, that is, the year of the weak crown. I never expected to be found by such a young person in the end. And it's a person like Your Excellency. ”

"A person like me, otherwise what do you think should be the kind of finding you?"

"It's not clear below. It's just that I made preparations for death early. ”

Daochan looked at Nan Ping: "I'm not here to kill you, or rather, I don't have to kill you. ”

"Oh?"

"You don't seem to believe it, but that's okay. If you're the one I'm looking for, then I'll kill you. Daozen's tone was flat, but there was a murderous aura.

"What Your Excellency said, I don't understand, Your Excellency has come all the way to such a remote place, and you will find it out in Xia, if you don't kill people, what can you do for it?"

"I'm just looking for you to answer a few questions. Daozen said lightly.

"Since Your Excellency has agreed to escort them to the town under the conditions of the next, then the next will keep the promise and will not deceive. ”

"I dare not believe you to say that. The first question: Have you ever been to Tianmu Mountain to watch the clouds? ”

"Been there. Nan Ping sighed, sure enough, it was related to what he was thinking.

"Second question: Why did you go there?"

"If you say that you go to the cloud to stay in the temple is also to answer the doubts in your heart, is your Excellency credible?"

Daozen didn't answer, and then asked, "What doubts?"

"Since Your Excellency knows that the clouds of Tianmu Mountain are watching, and you know that you have gone down there, how can you not know?" asked Zen in the south screen.

"If I knew, where would I come to you?"

Dao Chan and Nan Ping looked at each other, and then Nan Ping said: "Since Your Excellency doesn't know, I'll start from the beginning." Your Excellency knows that you have worked in the Shang Pharmacy Bureau, and you should also know the identity of the imperial doctor in the next year. It was a midsummer night, and when he was on an errand in the palace, he was secretly summoned, and according to the prince's will, he followed Prime Minister Wu Zinian to kill a woman. ”

"Kill a woman?"

Nan Ping said this, his eyes showed remorse: "Not bad." It's just that I don't know who the woman is, and since the prince has a will, I can only obey it. As soon as he left the palace gate, Prime Minister Wu Zinian handed over the current military secretary Xu Shengping, and then he was blindfolded and taken to a ship. When I saw the woman, I found that the woman was pregnant with Rokko and was about to give birth. He hesitated, how could his medical skills be used to harm people's lives? However, Xu Shengping was persecuted on the side, but he really couldn't do it, so he had to pretend to poison the woman. Xu Shengping walked out of the door, leaving only me and the woman. ”

Nan Pingfeng looked at his hands, he was full of disgust: "At that time, the woman woke up, saw Zaixia, grabbed the corner of her clothes and asked me to hold the fetus in her womb. Although he has the heart to save people, he has no courage to disobey the prince's will. So......"

So you pleaded to protect yourself and poisoned the woman. ”

Nan Pingfeng smiled bitterly: "I pretended to promise the woman, but in fact, what was served to her was not a decoction, but poison." Just as the woman was drinking, someone pushed the door in, and a Taoist priest walked in. I don't know who this person is, and I knocked over the poison with one hand, intending to kill him. It just so happened that the woman was about to give birth, but no one else attended the baby. Seeing that the life of the woman and the fetus was in danger, the Taoist priest asked him to deliver the woman. The baby was successfully delivered, but the woman's life was not saved. And the Taoist priest spared his life because of this. But he must make a poisonous oath that he shall not mention this matter to anyone, otherwise he will come and take his life. ”

He looked up at Daozen: "Don't you think it's ridiculous, as a doctor, you should be saving people, but you have the evil idea of killing. Originally, it was difficult to escape death, but because the person who was going to kill was spared. What a mockery. Nan Ping clenched his fist and slammed it into the tree.

"Since the Taoist priest has not killed you, why did you go to the Taoist priest?"

Afterwards, he listened to the words of the Taoist priest and fled overnight, but he was still chased and killed, and was rescued by the Taoist priest, and then took him to Tianmu Mountain to stay in the clouds for several months. Later, he left Tianmu Mountain and hid everywhere. But I have always been haunted by the events of that year. I felt guilty in my heart, after many years of hiding in the plateau, I had already looked down on life and death, so I went back and wanted to ask the Taoist priest that His Royal Highness had decreed at that time, the prime minister, and the military department were all involved, who was the woman. Why didn't you kill this sinner back then, leaving a hidden danger? ”

"How did the Taoist priest answer you?"

The Taoist priest just said: You are a doctor, but you want to kill people. I am a Taoist priest, and I also kill people. It doesn't make much difference. If you have doubts in your heart, it is better to live a good life and do more good deeds. So he fled to the north, and after so many years. For so many years, although he does not claim to be a doctor, he still saves lives and helps the wounded. It's just that the things of the year are like a fish in the throat, and it will be difficult to settle in the end. ”

"Let me ask you one last question, did you kill the Taoist priest?" Dao Chan stared at the south screen.

When Nan Ping heard that the Taoist priest was dead, his face showed sadness: "That master was actually killed, is it because he is below?"

"It's not something you have to worry about, I just ask, did you kill the Taoist priest?" Daozen asked in a cold voice.

"How can you kill a life-saver. Besides, although he is proficient in medicine, he has no power to restrain the chicken, how can he kill such a strong martial artist. Since coming to the north, Zai Xia has never returned to the Central Plains, let alone killed people. ”

"Have you ever told anyone about it, as you do now?"

Nan Pingfeng smiled bitterly: "Before telling Your Excellency, I have already said that I am ready to die." If you tell others, do you think you will be alive until now?"

Daozen fell silent and walked forward alone.

Nan Ping Feng looked at the back of Dao Chan, and became more and more familiar, where had he seen it, he thought about it carefully.

"Don't you want to go yet, do you want to enjoy the snow here?" said Daozen loudly.

Nan Ping Feng followed: "Your Excellency already believes what you say?"

Daochan rolled his eyes: "I just said, how you say it is your business, and how I think it is my business. ”

"Whether you believe it or not, you already know everything and tell it below. ”

"Whether it is with the disc or not, only you know. At the very least... Now it is. ”

Dao Chan looked at him: "But why are you saying that the Daoist martial arts are so strong?"

Nan Ping Feng replied: "Although I don't know martial arts in the morning, I can also see that the old Taoist's cultivation is very high, and it is not as simple as an ordinary martial artist." At that time, the ship was heavily guarded, and the old Taoist priest walked into the house without a drop of blood on his body. When I went out of the room, I saw that a boatload of soldiers was all dead. How can ordinary people do it by slaughtering dozens of battle-hardened soldiers in silence?"

Dao Chan listened to it and frowned, he didn't know that his master could also do martial arts. In his memory, the master never practiced martial arts, but boxed by himself, and the master just stood aside and guided. Once Dao Chan was not convinced, let his master practice boxing for him to see, his master blew his beard and stared, tied up his horse steps, and before he could punch twice, he gasped for a long time, which made Dao Chan happy for several days.

Although Dao Chan didn't immediately believe in the words of the South Screen, he had at least believed in the South Screen for seven or eight points. He pondered for a moment: Master, who are you? Why did you save a woman, and who was that baby? Could it be me?

But the child was safe, and that was the most gratifying thing for me. ”

Hearing Nan Ping Feng say this, Dao Chan hurriedly asked, "Where is it?"

"At the Yunliu Temple, there was a little Taoist boy in the view at that time, and he was exactly the same age as the child. If the guess is correct, that Dao Tong was born to a woman back then. And the child has a peculiar birthmark on his body, which is impressive. ”

"Birthmarks?"

"There are nine stars on the back. Nan Ping said.

If at first, Daochan still had doubts about what Nan Ping Feng said, now he has completely believed it. Because he has a nine-star birthmark on his back.

Sure enough, that baby is himself, so why did his mother be poisoned by the saints today, and whose son is he, and he has not even been born into the world, he will be killed.

Looking at the lights in the distance, Nan Ping had a smile on his face and said, "When you arrive, the town in front is." ”

When they arrived in the town, they heard that they had escaped from the Northern Barbarians, and many of them knew the people here and helped them arrange a place to live. And Nan Ping Feng and Dao Chan lived in an inn. It's just that Daozen didn't know that among the group of southerners he saved, there was a man who left the town overnight after determining Daochan's residence.

After two days of running, he learned about the past from the south screen, which made Daochan quite tired, lying on the bed, and gradually falling asleep.

By the time he woke up, it was already the next morning. Daozen yawned and knocked on the door of the south screen, but no one answered, and when Daozen pushed the door, the door was not closed. walked in, and the scene he saw couldn't help but make Dao Chan stunned.

He walked over to the bed, tried the snort of the south screen, and sighed. Although Dao Zen does not understand the righteousness of the South Screen, as long as people live well, why bother to kill themselves?

There was a letter sitting on the table, which was opened, and it was left by the south screen. Nan Ping Feng finally remembered that Dao Zen was that child, and Nan Ping Feng knew that Zen would not kill him, but his mother's death had a lot to do with him. If he didn't hesitate and chose to save people, maybe Daochan's mother is still alive in the world, since Daochan doesn't kill himself, then he will apologize for his sins with death, and he will also count his sins.

Nan Ping wrote: A practitioner who does not heal people is no different from a murderer, although he has lived for many years, he has a grudge in his heart, and he is afraid all day long. Now is the time for liberation. After waiting for many years, the son of the deceased came, but he had no murderous intentions. My heart is even more ashamed, it is really a creation and a trick, in this case, I should judge myself.

At the end of the letter, Daochan didn't have the heart to look at it anymore, Nan Pingfeng just told Daochan that what he said to Daochan was true, if you want to know the whole truth and find out your identity, then you can only go to Xu Shengping, the secretary of the Ministry of War, or the current Prime Minister Wu Zinian, or the current saint.

Daozen places the letter on a candle flame and lights it.

Go to Xu Shengping? Dao Chan smiled bitterly, Xu Shengping had been killed, and the current prime minister and the high emperor, how could he be virtuous now, go and ask them? Dao Chan didn't care about his own life experience, he was only looking for the enemy who killed his master.

It's just that what about his own revenge for killing his mother? Dao Chan was at a loss.
