After a heavy rain, the air is moist and fresh.
Taking advantage of the stop of rain, Chen Yicheng was leading his medical team to prepare some decoction to drive away the cold for the soldiers who were caught in the rain and cold.
A Taoist priest came down from Luofu Mountain. After several inquiries, he decided to join the bandit suppression army. But joining the anti-bandit army requires a name, so Taoist Yicheng adopted the surname of his master, Chen Yicheng, and called him Chen Yicheng.
At that time, the Bandit Suppression Army happened to have a recruitment point in Huizhou to recruit medical soldiers. Having studied Chinese medicine from his master since he was a child, he quickly passed the recruitment standards of the Bandit Suppression Army and joined the Bandit Suppression Army.
Although Chen Yicheng has learned some medical skills, he also has some research in surgery. However, since he joined the bandit suppression army and witnessed the clinical operations performed on various wounded soldiers by the Chinese medicine doctors of the bandit suppression army, Chen Yicheng felt that he was not in the wrong place.
Later, Chen Yicheng had the opportunity to have a conversation with Zhang Rui during one of Zhang Rui's inspection tours of injured bandit suppression army soldiers.
It was during this conversation that Zhang Rui admired Chen Yicheng's talents and knowledge, so Zhang Rui chose to take him with him when he went out.
"Chen Medical Team, Sixth Brother has something to do with you." The guard assigned by Liu Shitou found Chen Yicheng after asking others several times. The guard did not make any other greetings, and directly explained his intention to Chen Yicheng.
"Brother Six is looking for me? Could it be that he caught a cold?" Chen Yicheng couldn't help but guess after hearing the guard's words.
"Okay, I'll let you go."
After saying that, Chen Yicheng hurriedly put down the work at hand, found a medicine box, and followed the guard to Zhang Rui's place.
At this time, Zhang Rui was chatting with Liu Shitou and others in the barracks.
Suddenly, the voice of the guard outside the camp came: "Brother Six, the Chen Medical Team is here."
"I know, let the Chen medical team come in!" Zhang Rui ordered loudly.
"Yes, Brother Six," the guard replied.
"Chen Medical Team, please come in!"
"Thanks…"
Chen Yicheng followed the sound and entered Zhang Rui's tent. I saw everyone in Zhang Rui's tent saying goodbye to Zhang Rui one by one and exiting the tent.
"Sixth brother, why did you call me here? But you are cold?" After Chen Yicheng saw Zhang Rui, he quickly stepped forward and performed a military salute and asked.
"No, I'm fine. Calling you here is something else. Yi Cheng, you seemed to be a Taoist priest before?" Zhang Rui asked.
Chen Yicheng was a little surprised why Zhang Rui asked, but he didn't think much about it. After all, the bandit-suppressing army didn't say they couldn't be Taoist priests. So Chen Yicheng admitted it unabashedly.
"Brother Six, what do you mean by asking this subordinate?" Chen Yicheng looked at Zhang Rui and asked with confusion.
"Then are you proficient in astrology and divination?" Zhang Rui asked again.
"This..." Chen Yicheng didn't expect Zhang Rui to ask this suddenly. Since he didn't know Zhang Rui's intention, Chen Yicheng didn't dare to make excuses, so he had to reply:
"Back to Sixth Brother, my subordinates don't understand astrology, but my master understands it better. As for divination, I can barely learn a little bit about it, and I can't say that I'm proficient at it."
"Oh! I thought everyone who studied Taoism understood this?" Zhang Rui felt a little disappointed when he heard Chen Yicheng's answer.
"Sixth Brother, in fact, it cannot be said that all Taoists understand these things. Master told me that Taoists are more important to cultivate their mind and nature, pay attention to Taoism and nature, and the unity of heaven, earth and man. As for astrology and divination, they are just hobbies and have nothing to do with each other. There is no necessary connection between whether you learn Taoism or not." Chen Yicheng explained.
"I see, I thought people who practice Taoism know how to do it. But you just said you knew how to do divination?" Zhang Rui asked again.
"I'm ashamed to say that when I was studying Taoism in Luofu Mountain, I had to go to the mountain to ask for alms because there was often a shortage of food in the mountain. Sometimes I would help people with divination and solve problems to bring some money and food back to the mountain." Chen Yicheng said a little bit. Embarrassed.
"You can't be blamed for the decline of Taoism. But what do you think about divination?" Zhang Rui comforted him and asked again.
"Well, it mainly depends on God's will. It's really hard to explain." Chen Yicheng replied.
"God's will..." Zhang Rui murmured: "I just can't understand God's will now."
Zhang Rui stopped covering up to Chen Yicheng and said, "Yicheng, have you noticed any problems with our march these days?"
"Brother Six, have you noticed it too?" Chen Yicheng looked surprised after hearing Zhang Rui's inquiry. .
"It seems that you also realized that something is wrong. But with your ability, there is no reason to find that the path we are marching on is wrong." Zhang Rui said.
"Yes, Brother Six. It's raining very strangely." Chen Yicheng replied.
"But something evil is causing trouble?" Zhang Rui asked worriedly.
There are too many unknowns in reality, and there were all kinds of unexplainable legends in Zhang Rui's previous world. If it is someone or something that can be seen and understood, no matter how difficult it is, Zhang Rui will have the confidence to solve it.
Now, Zhang Rui is afraid that something unknown to him is causing trouble, after all, everything that happened during his time travel has happened.
"Don't worry, Sixth Brother. I saw it early in the morning. It's not something strange, it's just the weather." Chen Yicheng replied.
"That way, I feel relieved." Zhang Rui replied.
"But why do you think this celestial phenomenon is so weird? It seems to be blocking our way."
"This subordinate doesn't know either. The Tao may be Tao but it is not Tao. Those who follow the natural Tao also seek good fortune and avoid misfortune." Chen Yicheng did not explain too much, but said in a mysterious way.
"Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune?" Zhang Rui repeated.
"Yes, I think I roughly understand. Thank you, Yi Cheng." Zhang Rui suddenly became enlightened and said happily.
"Brother Six is so polite. No matter what Brother Six's future path is, my subordinates will always serve for Brother Six." Chen Yicheng saluted Zhang Rui vigorously with a military salute and said with a look of admiration.
"Okay, let us work together to overthrow the Tatar court and build a country where everyone can have enough food and clothing." Zhang Rui seemed to be infected by Chen Yicheng, and hurriedly walked to him and stretched out his hand He patted his shoulder and said.
"Yes, Sixth Brother." At this moment, Chen Yicheng answered loudly. His eyes yearned for the world described by Zhang Rui.
The next morning, the sun was shining brightly, and the birds were chirping in the mountains early in the morning.
At this time, Zhang Rui and his bandit-suppressing troops, a team of several hundred people, crowded forward from the narrow and difficult mountain road to the much wider official road.
After his conversation with Chen Yicheng, Zhang Rui ignored whether it was a matter of probability. God's will is sometimes a choice, just like one's own rebellion.
Perhaps what is really waiting for you is on your way to the official road. Since it is unavoidable, just face it directly.
