Chapter 34: The White-robed Judge
Returning to the city with difficulty, in the midst of countless people being stunned and frightened and hurriedly evading, Ning Caichen came to a medical hall and asked the doctor in the hall to disinfect and bandage him.
For the scar on his body, the doctor trembled with fright, and according to his instructions, he took a knife and carefully removed the bloody clothes on his body that were sticking to his skin because of blood.
"Master, the spirits have been bought. A twelve or thirteen-year-old medicine boy walked into the room with a wine jar in his arms and said timidly.
The white-haired doctor took over the wine jar, smelled the aroma of wine, and sniffled: "This young man, wipe the wound with spirits, although it can prevent the wound from rotting, but the pain in it is like a sharp knife cutting meat, you have to think about it." ”
Ning Caichen's eyes were bloodshot in pain, and his expression was quite calm: "No matter how painful it is, I can't die...... Kid, go get a clean towel and stuff it in my mouth. ”
Seeing the blood-stained white-robed murderer speaking to himself, the medicine boy's heart trembled, he took two steps back, and subconsciously hid behind the sitting doctor.
"It's okay, go get two clean towels and fetch a basin of water. The doctor pulled the medicine boy out from behind him and said softly.
When the medicine boy left the room like a fled, Ning Caichen shook his head and smiled: "I never thought that I would have such a terrifying day. ”
The doctor put a ball of clean cloth into the wine jar and soaked: "Your current image is like a murderer, and I am afraid that even the government will come to inquire about it in a while." ”
Ning Caichen thought for a while: "If someone from the government comes over, you send someone to stop it, and say that it is Ning Caichen who is receiving treatment, and he is dressed in blood for killing wolves." ”
"Are you the white-robed judge Ning Caichen?" the doctor in the hall paused, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed in surprise.
"White-robed judge, what is this called?" Ning Caichen was stunned.
Receiving his affirmation, Huo Ran, the doctor sitting in the hall, stood up and arched his hand with a serious expression: "Little old man Xu Zhilin has seen Mr. Ning. Mr. Hui's words, you tried thousands of cases every day, returned the innocence of hundreds of people, and under tremendous pressure, the news of releasing innocent prisoners and returning home has spread all over Jinhua in a short period of time.
The prison of humanity is like the underworld, it is easy to enter and difficult to get out. As long as you are in prison, no matter whether you are wronged or wrongly convicted, this life can be regarded as an explanation in it. And you, sir, are full of righteousness, look at evil and goodness, try thousands of cases every day, and clarify the underworld, just like the legendary judge, with vast magical powers and boundless power.
There is the storyteller, who visited the prisoners who had been released, and in their accounts made up a well-known judge to try the case, and the name of you, the white-robed judge, has spread far and wide, and now you have a name in the rivers and lakes. ”
Ning Caichen was dumbfounded when he heard this, and only then did he suddenly understand that the names of those masters in the rivers and lakes came from this.
"Master, water and towels have been brought, and a team of sergeants has come to the hall to inquire about the Bloody Man. The medicine boy walked in with a brass basin and two white towels on his shoulders.
"Zhong Shi, you come to wipe Mr. Ning's wounds, and I will send them away from the sergeants outside. Xu Zhilin picked up a piece of white cloth and gave it to Ning Caichen to bite, put another piece of white cloth into the warm water in the basin, and instructed the medicine boy.
"Mr. Ning, white-robed judge?" Xu Zhongshi's eyes lit up and he said in surprise.
"Yes, it's that Mr. Ning, be careful when wiping your wounds. Xu Zhilin touched his soft short hair and walked out of the backyard room with a smile.
Xu Zhongshi wrung out the towel in the basin, and wiped the terrible wound for Ning Caichen with bright eyes, but suddenly felt no longer afraid in his heart.
In his small head, the existence of the white-robed judge is equivalent to the Monkey King in the story, no matter what image he appears, he is kind and good, so naturally there is no need to be afraid. This is the image of a man in chivalry, which is reassuring.
When Xu Zhongshi wiped the blood stains on Ning Caichen's body, Xu Zhilin slowly walked back and picked up the cloth soaked in wine: "Mr. Ning, as soon as those sergeants outside the door heard your name, they turned around and left, it seems that they are very afraid of you!"
Ning Caichen bit the towel in his mouth, shook his head and chuckled, and secretly thought that those sergeants were not good people, otherwise they should at least come in and check on them, instead of running away.
Xu Zhilin gently put the cloth on the wound on Ning Caichen's body, Ning Caichen trembled, the sharp pain into the bones rushed straight to the brain along the nerves, and tears began to brew in the eye sockets uncontrollably.
After some disinfection, Ning Caichen's eyes were red in pain, and he was sweating profusely, if he hadn't bitten the towel in his mouth, this mouthful of silver teeth would have been crushed. When Xu Zhilin applied ointment to him and bandaged his wounds, he couldn't help but think in his heart: "I don't know when I will be able to enter the Tao from martial arts and truly step into the cultivation world." When the time comes, I'm afraid I don't have to be so troublesome if I get injured, just take a pill of healing elixir. ”
"Mr. Ning, for the sake of your body, Xiao Lao'er recommends that you rest for a while, and you must not suffer from this trauma again, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. After the bandaging was completed, Xu Zhilin instructed seriously.
"The sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes are not as delicate as ordinary people. Ning Caichen took off the towel and ran his true qi, and his body suddenly became much more comfortable.
Xu Zhilin thought for a while, stood up and walked to the medicine cabinet, and took out two jade porcelain bottles from the mezzanine: "It's better to be careful." Mr. Ning, Xiao Lao'er once received a meat lingzhi decades ago, and grinded and prepared these two bottles of healing spirits. When you change the dressing at night, you remove the ointment and apply this loose powder, and within three or two days, the wound will scab over. ”
Ning Caichen looked at the two vials in surprise, his mind was full of thoughts, and he was not willing to shirk after all: "Old man, the meat lingzhi is a strange thing, and it is very valuable, and the medicine powder prepared by this grinding is even more valuable." The scholar said in his heart that he wanted to accept it, but he didn't know what kind of gift of equal value he could give back?"
"If you can never live up to the title given to you by the people, it will be the greatest reward to the little old man. Xu Zhilin said solemnly.
Ning Caichen was silent, looked at Xu Zhilin with firm eyes, Xu Zhongshi with bright eyes, and the two bottles of medicine powder on the table, and the popular words vaguely appeared in his heart: The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people. The little one of chivalry is a friend and a neighbor. Kind-hearted, courageous and loyal, for all people, for all sentient beings, will eventually get the gift of the other party.
"Living up to the expectations of the people is something I should do, not something that I need to do. Ning Caichen put away the medicine and looked at Xu Zhilin seriously: "I owe you a favor, you can make a request to me at will, no matter when, no matter where, as long as I can do it, it is incumbent." ”
Xu Zhilin paused for a moment and summoned Xu Zhongshi to his side: "This child was originally an orphan child during the war, and when I saw that he was pitiful, I immediately took him by my side and became a closed disciple." I am now dying, and I am afraid that there is not much time left, and if it is possible, I hope that Mr. Ning will be able to take care of him in the future. ”
Ning Caichen looked at the immature child who was clinging to the old doctor's cuffs, and said softly: "I have accepted this request, as long as I can eat, after you are a hundred years old, he will not be short of a mouthful." ”
"Then I was relieved. Xu Zhilin laughed: "I used two bottles of medicine to find a bright future for this child, maybe I earned it." ”
"Master......" Xu Zhongshi hugged the old doctor, her eyes full of tears.
After Xu Zhilin appeased Xu Zhongshi, Ning Caichen said in a deep voice: "Old man, can you mix the poison and disperse it?"
Xu Zhilin was stunned: "What does Mr. Ning want to do with this fierce thing?"
told the two of them about the scene of his near death, Ning Caichen said coldly: "A gentleman should repay kindness and revenge, these goshawks deceive people too much, and the scholar has no choice but to make this decision." ”
"I'm sorry. Xu Zhilin replied embarrassedly: "The ancestors taught hundreds of medical books, and there are also poisonous scriptures among them, but Xiao Lao'er felt that that kind of skill was too hurtful, so he didn't learn it." ”
Ning Caichen nodded in disappointment, and was about to speak, but saw the little guy Xu Zhongshi raise his hand and said, "That...... I have studied the Poison Sutra. ”
Xu Zhilin turned his head in astonishment: "Really, why have you never told me about this?"
"I'm afraid you'll be angry. Xu Zhongshi said timidly: "When you asked me to study a hundred volumes of medical books by myself, I saw that these techniques were very interesting, and I immediately remembered them. ”
Xu Zhilin looked at Xu Zhongshi, looked at Ning Caichen again, and sighed: "What a fate!"
Ning Caichen chuckled: "Isn't it fate? This kid may be able to help me a lot in the future." ”
Xu Zhilin originally wanted to tell a few words not to take Xu Zhongshi on the wrong path, but then he thought about it, it was better not to say it. He can't wait for the future, what path he will take in the future, and look at Xu Zhongshi's creation.
The medicinal herbs cooperate with each other and can cure all kinds of diseases. However, when several medicinal herbs with opposing properties are combined, they can be turned into highly poisonous and fierce medicines, and the Poison Sutra records the refining methods of these highly poisonous and fierce medicines.
Xu Zhongshi took 11 kinds of medicinal materials such as seaweed, euphorbia, Gansui, licorice, Sichuan fritillary, Banxia, etc., and boiled them for half an hour with the medicine tripod, and then took out the black water in the tripod and placed it in a pot. Then take rosemary petals, dried grass, and medicinal seedlings, mash them into slag with a mortar and pestle, and put them in black water.
The medicine residue entered the water, and there was no fire under the black water, but it gurgled and surged, and after a while, it returned to calm, and a basin of black water turned from black to purple, exuding a palpitating smell.
Xu Zhongshi carefully poured purple water into the jade bottle prepared in advance, breathed a sigh of relief, smiled simply, and handed the jade bottle to Ning Caichen: "Mr. Ning, don't let the jade bottle shatter on yourself, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
Ning Caichen nodded seriously: "How toxic is this poisonous water?"
"A drop of venom, diluted tenfold, can poison a tiger. Xu Zhongshi said affirmatively.
The corners of Ning Caichen's mouth were slightly hooked: "So poisonous? The end of those murderous robbers is coming!"
