"Whenever a great doctor treats a disease, he must calm his mind and calm his mind. He must have no desires or demands. He must first have a heart of great compassion and vow to save the suffering souls. If a person comes to seek help from someone who is sick, he must not ask whether he is rich or poor, whether he is old or young. Chi, resentful friends, Chinese and barbarian fools and wise, all are the same, just like the thoughts of close relatives. You should not look forward or backward, worry about your own good or bad, protect your body and life. If you see others' distress, if you have it yourself, you will be deeply sad and do not avoid danger. , day and night, cold and heat, hunger, thirst and fatigue, wholeheartedly go to rescue, without any intention of performing any deeds. If you do this, you can be a great doctor for the common people, but if you don't, you can be a great thief with a spiritual heart."
In the wooden house, a white-haired old man sat on a chair, closing his eyes and chanting.
In the house, the incense burner is lit with unknown incense, and the fragrance can make people calm and relaxed.
There were three young men sitting cross-legged below, all following the old man in reciting this passage.
"Zhuo Yuezhu!" The old man suddenly raised his eyelids and glanced at a young man below who was reading carelessly.
Zhuo Yuezhu stood up hurriedly, "Master!"
The old man frowned, as if he was considering his words, and finally said slowly, "You are extremely talented. Your future achievements in medicine may not be as good as mine. It's a pity that you can't follow my path."
Zhuo Yuezhu said in confusion, "What does Master mean by this? I am stupid, Master, please clarify!"
Although the old man was old, his eyes were extremely clear, as if he could see people's hearts.
His eyes swept over the three disciples below one by one.
"You have less of a benevolent heart than your senior brother Sun Zhining, so you can't follow my medical path." The old man paused, and then said, "But this may not be a good thing, because I myself have not been able to complete this journey. The last journey of the road..."
Zhuo Yuezhu nodded thoughtfully, while Sun Zhining said seriously, "Only by holding a benevolent heart can a doctor empathize with the patient's pain, and only in this way can he save all living beings!"
The girl on the side looked at the slightly immature faces of the two teenagers and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
When the old man saw this, he just nodded slightly, with a faint smile on his lips.
Perhaps only a young man with an innocent heart can cultivate his sincere beliefs deeply in his heart. Even after going through countless hardships and vicissitudes of life, things will not change easily.

"The benevolence of doctors! The benevolence of doctors! What use do I need from the benevolence of doctors?! My master has saved the world for decades, but there is someone who truly appreciates his kindness! Even if he doesn't care about worldly affairs and lives in seclusion as a doctor Wang Gu died tragically at the hands of others in the end!
I hate it! I hate it! This God is so unfair!
If we count one life for one life, I don’t know how many people I have saved and extended their lives in this life, but, but! Why can't she be allowed to live for another year and a half? We can't let her live in the world like a normal person! "Sun Zhining said angrily.
"Cough cough cough!"
A cough came from behind the bed.
I saw a woman's figure covered in white hair walking down from the bed.
"Big...senior brother!"
The woman's voice was so weak that one could not help but feel a sense of pity from the bottom of one's heart.
Sun Zhining, who was originally in a state of violent collapse, dissipated instantly like summer ice as soon as he heard these words.
Sun Zhining's lips trembled and his eyes stared at the woman, as if she was the only one left in his world at this moment.
The woman slowly approached Sun Zhining, and then gently hugged him. The tall Sun Zhining seemed to have become a child at this moment, with all his defenses removed, and he just wanted to relieve all his fatigue and bitterness in his mother's arms.
As the woman gently patted Sun Zhining's back, within a moment, he fell into a deep sleep.
Everyone was silent when they saw this scene.
After the woman put Sun Zhining on the bed, she smoothed her white hair away from her face, revealing her fair and beautiful face.
Those deep and moving eyes make people dare not take another look at them, as if their souls will be devoured in the next moment.
"Are you the junior sister Sun Zhining mentioned?" He Shengbai said.
"My name is Jiang Youling." The woman said, "I have heard everything about you from my senior brother. I believe Mr. He's intelligence has already guessed everything about me."
He Shengbai nodded, "In my opinion, you don't have much time left to stay awake."
Jiang Youling continued, "Master He is indeed very discerning. About every three to five days, I can regain consciousness for half an hour. The rest of the time, I am confused and act entirely on instinct."
Jiang Youling turned and leaned over to help Yin Xiaolian who was on the ground, "You are also a hard-working child. You have lived a difficult life alone since you were a child. My senior brother only treats you like this because of me. In fact, he also has feelings for you in his heart. He has often told me before that he is always worried about whether Mr. He will take good care of you and whether he will let you be bullied. Although he looks cold on the surface, he is actually a gentle and considerate person, always thinking about Think of others.
So you don't need to blame yourself too much. My senior brother didn't come here to blame you. He just wanted to ask for an explanation for me and my second senior brother. "
"Ask for an explanation? Huh!" Lei Zhengming sneered and said, "Just to ask for an explanation, you two committed crimes and committed countless crimes! Do you still have the king's law and the imperial court in your eyes? Back then, the immortals The Pavilion Master made a contract with Prime Minister Wang, and it was only an agreement that outside of Yongzhou, the imperial court would not interfere too much in Jianghu disputes without any reason. But with your appearance now, you will soon become a monster, and I have to worry about how to deal with you then!"
"Haha, I look like this... Of course I won't make things difficult for Mr. Lei. We will leave immediately when this happens. We just want to get an answer from here." Jiang Youling's bright eyes looked towards the front. Yin Xiaolian.
Yin Xiaolian's face darkened, as if she had made an important decision, and finally she knelt down towards Jiang Youling.
"It's me who feels sorry for Mr. Sun! I am an orphan adopted by the Prime Minister. It was he who instructed me to approach Mr. Sun. That day Mr. Sun asked me to take out Emperor Jiang's golden elixir. It was also the Prime Minister who asked me to send out the golden elixir. Switched secretly."
Yin Xiaolian kowtowed and said, "After doing this, I knew I had no face to face Lord Sun again. I was sorry for his trust and for the care he gave me in the Imperial Medical Clinic, even though I later learned about Lord Sun's death." The news of his death, even after I left Chang'an City, still stuck in my heart, becoming a thorn that I couldn't remove.
This is all because I am too greedy and wishful thinking. I am obviously an orphan who is humble enough to be buried in the soil, but I still want to use a false identity to deceive others, hoping to always receive care and attention..."
Hearing this, He Shengbai's eyes were already red. He looked at the thin figure kneeling on the ground with tears in his eyes.
"Master He, I'm sorry... I lied to you. The copper coin around my neck was actually given to me by the Prime Minister. I don't recognize it at all. I am not your long-lost daughter!" Yin Xiaolian said with tears streaming down her face, "I I don’t expect you and Mr. Sun to forgive me, I just hope that if there is an afterlife, I will repay the kindness of you two even if I work as a cow or a horse!"
After saying that, Yin Xiaolian knocked her head to the ground, seeking suicide!
…………
In the yard, He Shengbai and Lei Zhengming stood side by side, staring at the two figures in the distance gradually disappearing into the sky.
"This time we are indeed judging a gentleman with a villain's heart." He Shengbai said calmly, "Speaking of which, you and I are very similar, that is, we accept death. As long as we believe in one thing, we must follow a certain path. Go dark.”
Lei Zhengming looked a little lonely in his eyes and sighed, "Isn't this good? At least you don't have to think about whether this is right or wrong."
He Shengbai was silent, and after a long time he said, "I have taken you as my apprentice for so long, but I have never taught you anything. I want to ask you a question today. Do you think you are enforcing the law for the people of this country, or for this? The king of the country?”
The wind whimpered, like a mute who couldn't speak.
He Shengbai continued, "Actually, both you and I can see that if Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou that first launched the war were outright rebellious officials, then Yuzhou, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou later tried to remain neutral. Emperor Zhou forcibly labeled him as a rebel, and then forced him to stand on the rebel ship.
Although I don’t know the reason why they did this, I know that many people have died since this war has evolved to this point, and more people will die in the future!
Do you think everything done by Emperor Zhou, the powerful promoter of this war, was in compliance with the laws established by this country? Should he be sanctioned? "
…………
Countless students have read hard for a long time, just for the chance of becoming a high-ranking official and fulfilling their ambitions.
It is the dream of many students from poor families to learn martial arts and become a member of an imperial family.
To establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a destiny for the living and the people, to inherit the unique knowledge of the past saints, and to create peace for all generations, these are the original aspirations of many scholars.
Realizing your dreams is far easier than sticking to your original intention.
How many people, on the way to realizing their dreams, abandon their original intentions at some point.
There are countless treacherous ministers in history who have done evil, and many of them were talented and literary ministers who were once rich in knowledge and talents.
However, the power made the mind dim, the power made the virtue lose, and finally went to the abyss, forgetting his original intention of studying hard for several years.
"Do you remember your purpose when you first picked up the oldest law book in Dali Temple?" He Shengbai asked.
Lei Zhengming thought for a long time.
That day, he had just become the Minister of Dali Temple.
That day, he was full of vigor and enthusiasm and rushed into the case room of Dali Temple.
Inside the case room are piles of records that record the cases handled by Dali Temple over the years.
The young man who was the new Minister of Dali Temple had endless courage to face the city's chronic diseases. He picked up the country's oldest law book like a heavy sword and wanted to kill all the people in the world. Everything is dark, but there is still a bright and clear sky.
He memorized the three-million-word classic for ten days and nights.
Within ten days, the Dali Temple's case room had 30 major cases that had not been solved for twenty years, but the new Minister of Dali Temple, who was not yet 30 years old, solved three of them in one go!
For a time, all the people in Chang'an City clapped their hands and applauded. The powerful officials who originally complained about Emperor Zhou's direct appointment of the top scholar to succeed He Shengbai also shut their mouths. Even those in Dali Temple who originally criticized The old detectives who disliked this fair-faced scholar also began to take a new look at him.
Lei Zhengming murmured something softly, then stepped back respectfully and bowed towards He Shengbai.
However, He Shengbai turned sideways and refused to receive this salute.
"You don't have to salute me. Since I accepted my daughter by my side again, you and I are no longer walking the same path." He Shengbai looked at Lei Zhengming with pity in his eyes and said, "This is the path you are taking. It is destined to be a bumpy road with not much hope in sight. Are you really determined to go on it?"
"The law is the foundation for the survival of the people and the foundation of the country. It not only allows the people to live and work in peace and contentment, but also makes the powerful feel fearful and dare not violate the rules. Otherwise, the majesty of the law will not be there, the powerful will prey on the common people, and the officials will run rampant in the countryside, and the people will be miserable. They will surely rise up and the world will be in chaos."
Lei Zhengming's eyes sparkled, "We, the scholars, do not study for the five measures of rice salary of the monarch, but for the awe-inspiring righteousness of the sages in the books. We study for the conscience in people's hearts. Read books based on the principles of justice in the world.
The monarch has no virtue, I should make the decision for the people! "
He Shengbai's eyes were full of expectations and nostalgia, and he saw his former self in Lei Zhengming.
However, that was already in the past.
"I was like you in the first half of my life. I lived so straightforwardly and openly. My only regret was that I failed to protect my family. So I was afraid and retreated. In the end, I came back from Chang'an City in disgrace. After all, I couldn't. Keep going on this path.
So for the rest of my life, I just want to stay by my daughter's side, make up for her, and make up for myself. "
Lei Zhengming nodded and said, "I only hope that the day this war subsides, Meng Huanglu can still be placed quietly in the Dali Temple's case room."
Yin Xiaolian walked out of the room, quietly hugged He Shengbai from behind, and gently nestled her head on his back.
He Shengbai said with a smile, "If it ever comes to that day, I hope I can go there and copy it again, so that anyone who wants to marry my daughter in the future must recite it to me word for word. I listen!"
Yin Xiaolian suddenly blushed, "Dad, aren't you afraid that I won't be able to get married in the future?"
"Dad is reluctant to let you get married. I only have a daughter like you, and I will have to rely on you to support me until I die!"
The three-million-word text was drawn up by Emperor Meng when he summoned the Kyushu State Shepherds and spent several years together. It was also stipulated that no one in the human race could modify it without authorization within a hundred years.
It begins with just four words: Law enforcement is for the people.
