Chapter 657: The Sword Immortal in the Past Fell into the Mortal, and the Great Tribulation in the World Fell (3)
The village was named Peacock because of its proximity to the Peacock River.
Chang Xi rented a shop next to the wine shop in Peacock Village, which was originally intended by the owner of the wine shop to expand the warehouse, but when he heard that the divine doctor was willing to live with them, he invited Chang Xi almost all the way, and refused to collect the rent, or at Chang Xi's insistence, he rented it at the price of two taels of silver a month.
The price of two taels of broken silver can be said to be only the cost for a shop. But the owner of the wine shop and Ayu's father are old friends, and Ayu is equivalent to half of his daughter, not to mention that a miracle doctor is willing to settle in their village, which is a big event of beating gongs and drums. Their village is not wealthy, and most of the hundreds of families are only a few taels of silver left in addition to their own rations.
Generally, in a small place like theirs, some famous doctors are not willing to live here for a long time, for the simple reason that they can't make money.
A doctor with medical ethics and strength is a living bodhisattva for them.
And the villagers found that this doctor, who claimed to be surnamed Chang, was unexpectedly approachable, answering all questions without the slightest impatience, compared to the previous doctors with noses on the door of their heads, it was really a heaven and an earth, there was no comparison at all!
The shop has been idle for a long time, there is a lot of dust, the owner of the wine shop called a few young and strong guys in the store to help, but Chang Xi politely declined, he did not use the slightest spiritual power, and cleaned the shop skillfully, looking serious and meticulous.
When cleaning, Chang Xi found that across the street from his shop, it was Manniu and Ayu's family who lived, Ayu's father just carried two roast chickens he had just bought, and the old man surnamed Lin stood at the gate of the courtyard and waved to Chang Xi, "Doctor Chang, come and sit at home tonight, the roast chicken I just bought, the meals are almost cooked!"
Chang Xi smiled and waved his hand and said, "Lau Lin is bothered, but Chang Mou needs to clean up the shop tonight, and he really can't spare time." Moreover, Ayu had just taken the decoction at noon, and she needed to rest in bed tonight, so Chang Mou would not bother. ”
Seeing Chang Xi on the other side of the street, he turned around and picked up the rag and continued to clean the shop, Old Man Lin sighed, it seems that he can only deal with these two roast chickens with the wild cow tonight.
In the evening, Chang Xi wiped off a layer of sweat on his forehead, and found that there was still a big gap between the degree of thorough cleaning of the shop, so he put down the work at hand first, and came to the grocery store in the village to buy a few oil lamps, during which unexpectedly there was a tug-of-war between customers and bosses, one insisted on giving money, and the other resolutely did not collect money, until the first time the lanterns were on, Chang Xi came back with a few free oil lamps and some daily necessities.
In the dead of night, the wild cow gently brushed Ayu's hair by the bedside, looking at the blush face of the woman resting in bed, smiling happily. Ah Yu's father walked out of the house and saw that there were still flickering candles in the cracks of Dr. Chang's shop across the street.
In the early morning of the second day, when the sky was just bright, Chang Xi pushed open the door, and the oil surface in the oil lamp had already bottomed out, and it was a sleepless night. Through the glimmer of the morning, you can find that the shop has been completely renewed, and it is not clean, and it has the smell of a silk medical hall.
Chang Xi plans to open a medical clinic here.
Chang Xi took a piece of wood that was cleaned up yesterday, he thought about it, pressed it on the board with a reference pen, and the dragon and snake roamed around, and the word "medical hall" was completed in one go, and then he hung this signboard that was destined to accompany him for a period of time outside the shop.
He looked at the somewhat empty door, he took out the two black and white pottery that had been placed close to him from his arms, knitted them with red rope strings, and hung them at the door, ding ding dong dong.
Looking at the wood-fired stove in the corner that had not yet been lit, he smiled at the corner of his mouth, skillfully washed the pot and lit the fire, cut the green onions, beat the eggs, and made himself a bowl of egg noodles sprinkled with green onions.
The plan of the day lies in the morning, and you can no longer treat your stomach that has been hungry all night.
But before he sat down to eat a few bites, the two Tao Xun at the door collided and made a crisp sound of ding ding dong, only to see three figures suddenly break in, and after stepping over the threshold, he knelt down directly without saying anything. It seems to know that if you don't kneel down in the first place, you won't be able to kneel.
Chang Xi couldn't put down the dishes and chopsticks when he cried and laughed, the person who came was none other than Lin Lao's family.
Among the three people who knelt down was Ayu, and the speed and extent of her body's recovery were better than Chang Xi expected. Yesterday, Ayu took the bowl of decoction, and the forsythia branch only played a small role, and what worked wonders was his drop of dragon blood that had been diluted countless times by the rain. The dragon's blood is from yang to rigidity, specializing in overcoming yin and cold, and the natural effect is remarkable. not only rescued her from Hades in one fell swoop, but also removed the lesions that had tormented her for more than ten years.
"The little girl has thanked the divine doctor for saving her life! Thank you, the divine doctor! Thank you, the divine doctor!"
Ayu is a country woman, and there is no flowery rhetoric, but the more this kind of woman from a simple background, every word she says is sincere from the heart. As for the more simple brute bull on the side, he couldn't say anything at all, just a banging his head with a bang, and every time he used his real strength, he soon saw blood.
Chang Xi glanced at Lin Lao reproachfully, helped the three of them up, and said, "It is my duty to cure the sick and save people, so it doesn't have to be like this. ”
There was only one square table in the shop, Chang Xi asked them to sit down with their family, grind some of the hemostatic herbs collected in the medicine basket yesterday, and smear them on the forehead of the wild cow to stop the bleeding, almost making this honest crop man kneel down again.
Chang Xi boiled three more bowls of noodles, but he didn't put eggs in the bowl for Ayu, and the brute wanted to give the eggs in his bowl to Ayu to make up for his body, but Chang Xi knocked on the back of his hand with chopsticks and said: "Eggs are cold food, women eat less, especially Ayu." ”
The brute bull, who was a head taller than Chang Xi, rubbed the back of his reddened hand aggrievedly, but Old Man Lin was cold all over, and it was the first time he knew that eggs were originally cold food. You must know that in order to make up for his daughter's body, he had to let Ayu eat boiled eggs almost every day, it turned out that after so many years, he was actually harming his own daughter!
Although Chang Xi's eyes were gray, he could still penetrate Old Man Lin's mind and said, "It's not too late to know now, just pay more attention, if you don't understand, you can ask me." ”
Old man Lin cried out with tears in his eyes, and kept nodding his head in thanks.
Chang Xi knew in his heart that when he was still in Qingyun Mountain before, he had dealt with Senior Sister Luo Wu, who was proficient in medicine and pharmacology on Danshen Peak. When talking about the world's medical Tao, Luo Wu once said that the vast majority of doctors in this world can be divided into three types.
The first type of doctor is generally capable, when he perceives the lesion in the patient's body, if the lesion is tricky, he will give up decisively, but if it is a minor illness or disaster, he will treat it, and he can often be invincible, but this kind of person will not be too famous. The second type of healer has a certain ability, and he will try any illness he encounters, but because of this, there are successes and failures, and his reputation is mixed, and his reputation will not spread too far and too well.
As for the third type of doctor, he obviously has a strong ability, but he does not care about any lesions or hidden diseases in the patient's body, even if he knows about it, he will not tell the patient, but silently write it down, and when the disease is serious to the point of no return, he will come back to treat the person drastically, and only heal the person after the patient has suffered a lot, but on the contrary, such a doctor who has no medical ethics at all, is often the most famous.
At that time, after Luo Wu told Chang Xi about this, he asked Chang Xi what kind of person he would want to be if he was a healer?
But now he knew that he was going to be the rare Fourth Healer.
The four of them ushered in Chang Xi's first morning in Peacock Village with fragrant noodles, and after eating the noodles by dividing them by two, the wild cow said fullly: "I have never eaten such fragrant noodles in my life, and they are better than those made by Ayu." ”
Chang Xi smiled and didn't speak, turned around and made another bowl of noodles for this guy who was as strong as a cow. Old man Lin hurriedly ran to the stove to take over the noodle bowl, he didn't dare to bother Dr. Chang to do it himself, took it to Manniu's side, and said solemnly on the side: "Manniu, you remember, Doctor Chang saved Ayu's life, and he is your great benefactor in this life, and you will do whatever Doctor Chang tells you to do in the future, understand?"
The brute bull nodded earnestly, his eyes blazing.
As the sun rose in the east, the roosters in the village were crowing, the four of them finished breakfast, the wild cow hurriedly went to harvest the wheat, and Ayu volunteered to clean up the dishes and wash the dishes. Old man Lin noticed that the neighborhood seemed to be pointing at Dr. Chang's shop, and walked out of the door curiously, only then did he notice the words "medical hall" on the plaque outside the door.
Old man Lin rushed into the house in surprise and joy, only to find that there was indeed a kind of appearance in the shop that only a country medical hall exists, he originally thought that Dr. Chang just wanted to live here for a while, but he didn't expect Chang Xi to plan to open a medical center here!
Doesn't this mean that this skillful and benevolent doctor will not leave Peacock Village for a long time to come?
Chang Xi, who had already taken off the black shirt that everyone in the Immortal Dao Alliance knew in the past, and changed it into a coarse linen shirt now, sat on the chair and smiled at Old Man Lin.
Chang Xi pointed to the chair next to Old Man Lin, motioned for the latter to sit down, and after a long silence, he said: "Old Lin, don't hide it, I'm not actually a native of Southern Xinjiang, and I'm still very unfamiliar with Southern Xinjiang, I don't know if you can solve my doubts?"
Old man Lin nodded seriously, in fact, there is no need for Chang Xi to say it himself, a person with some eyesight can see that this Doctor Chang is a foreigner. It's just that their village does not exclude outsiders, as long as they are guests, they are all hospitable.
Chang Xi asked: "In Chang's impression, wasn't Southern Xinjiang supposed to be ruled by the Eight Great Sects united by the Ten Thousand Demon Beings before? But when Chang came to Southern Xinjiang, he didn't seem to see any so-called cultivators, why is this?"
"Although we are just a rural villager, it stands to reason that we have never had the opportunity to come into contact with the so-called fairy family in this life. But because there was a complete change in southern Xinjiang before, even those of us ordinary people have heard some stories. ”
Old man Lin sat up straight and said, "Before, we heard that at the end of Erhai Lake, there was an organization called the Immortal Dao Alliance, which defeated those immortals who could fly to the sky and escape from the land in our southern Xinjiang. The head of Erhai Beach is a long way away from our Peacock Village, but at that time we can hear a loud noise from the side of Erhai Lake from time to time in the middle of the night, and then we see a lot of immortals in the night sky who serve strangely and strangely stepping on things the thickness of branches, and flying into the hinterland of southern Xinjiang. ”
There was something that Old Man Lin didn't dare to say in his heart, that is, the black robe that Doctor Chang wore when he came to the village before was somewhat the same as those immortals. But he didn't think about Chang Xi's identity as immortals, after all, immortals are all high-ranking existences, and they don't have the slightest intersection with mortals at all, how can they still have the leisure time to heal them, mortals who are no better than pigs and dogs in their eyes?
Old Man Lin continued: "Later, when many people passed through our village when they migrated, we learned that the immortal sects of the Ten Thousand Demon Beings had all been brought to their hometowns by the immortals of the Immortal Dao Alliance who came across the sea. It is said that there are only a few Xianjia sect leaders left in southern Xinjiang who have not committed any major evils. ”
Speaking of this, Old Man Lin said hatefully: "The immortals in the Ten Thousand Demons are very strict with the taxes in various parts of Southern Xinjiang, just like a small village like our Peacock Village, each household has to pay two stones of grain and one horse of cloth and silk every year, and every family can only struggle on the food and clothing line. I heard that some big cities were given death by the immortals because they couldn't make up the tax quota, and the blood flowed like a river, and the heavens were angry and the people were resentful!
Chang Xi suddenly realized when he heard this, no wonder he hadn't met half an immortal cultivator in southern Xinjiang for so long, it turned out that after the Immortal Dao League defeated the demon army of the four princes and the fifth prince of the demon domain in one fell swoop on the Erhai Sea, the whole army entered the hinterland of southern Xinjiang in one go, and wiped out the ten thousand demons who had done all kinds of evil.
Chang Xi's body fell at that time, smashing through a mountain alive, and it was impossible not to alarm the local immortal cultivators with such a movement. But even if Chang Xi sat on the top of the mountain for several days, he couldn't see half a figure, and it could be expected that the number of immortal cultivators in Southern Xinjiang should have decreased a lot now, and the number of immortal cultivators must be stretched, so that it was impossible to send people to guard this territory at all.
But Chang Xi was quickly relieved, and now he had completed the sword opening of the Heavenly Gate that attracted the attention of thousands of monks in Kyushu, and successfully made the human world together with the immortal realm, complete the law, and make the overall cultivation strength of the human world skyrocket by a whole step or two.
He is already injured, and it is not bad to quit the immortal cultivation world.
Qingyun has cultivated immortals for more than ten years, and he seems to be the best among the young generation in Kyushu, but who knows how much he has lost?
There are gains and losses, the reincarnation of heaven is endless, and the eternal truth.
As for which Immortal Cultivation Sect is in charge of Southern Xinjiang now, he is already indifferent, he just wants to live a quiet life here. For this reason, he also cut off all spiritual power inductions on his body, preventing the outside world from being able to find him.
Old man Lin looked at Chang Xi's gray eyes, and for some reason, he felt an incomparably heavy sense of vicissitudes and inexplicable sadness from those eyes. It was as if sitting in front of him was not a wonderful doctor in his early twenties, but a lonely old man who had gone through vicissitudes, which was a strange and strange feeling.
Old man Lin wanted to ask Chang Xi why his eyes became like this, but when the words came to his mouth, he still couldn't ask. He hesitated for a long time, but then changed the topic to a happier one and said, "Is Doctor Chang planning to start opening the medical hall today? If everyone in the village knew about this, not to mention how happy they would be!"
Chang Xi smiled and shook his head: "It's not officially open today, I still need to go to the neighborhood to pick some herbs for reserves, and then open tomorrow." ”
Chang Xi finally smiled and said, "When the time comes, please ask Elder Lin to help me drink." ”
Old man Lin rolled up his sleeves and said arrogantly: "Doctor Chang, don't worry, leave it to me!"
