"Are you a monk?" Zhao Chuan asked impatiently.
It was so refreshing to save him and ask him why he was so secretive. Zhao Chuan wanted to ask this person what his life experience was.
"I was one many years ago, but not now." The old man said.
Zhao Chuan wanted to ask for more details, but the old man didn't want to say anything. He just said that he was entrusted by someone to take something to Donglin Temple, but an accident happened here.
Donglin Temple?
What is this place?
Hunyuanzi said that she was familiar with this place. It was a Tibetan Buddhist temple just south of Jueqing Valley in Lingyin Shandong Province, dozens of miles away from Jueqing Valley.
Tibetan Buddhism? Zhao Chuan immediately said that's not right. Tibetan Buddhism is not allowed to preach in China. How could there be such a monastery?
Hunyuanzi said that she didn't know this, but she had heard that there was such a temple. Normally, this temple had very little contact with the outside world and acted very mysteriously.
Less than an hour later, Zhongsun Si came back. When he entered the door, he heard that when the treasure box was pried open by several government officials, the mechanism inside was triggered, and poisonous mist was sprayed out, killing several government officials and everyone around him.
Zhao Chuan asked how our affairs went?
Zhongsun Si looked a little helpless and said that the matter was not done well and something unexpected happened: now the jailers in the county jail suddenly changed to new ones. He didn't know any of them. Except for the county magistrate, no one else was allowed to enter, and no one was allowed to give money. Works well.
what happened? Zhao Chuan asked urgently who had been replaced?
Zhongsun Si said that all the soldiers who had been replaced were soldiers from Jiangzhou City. He went to the Yamen and asked the county magistrate, and he said that all the people in the prison were surrendered to the army and would join the army as civilians. They would leave tomorrow.
"Qi Yatou is a girl, what kind of husband can she be?" Zhao Chuan was a little anxious.
Zhongsun Si said that I thought so too, and went to the yamen's master to intercede. The master went to ask the military commander in charge, and the military commander said that women could be servants in the army.
Housewives who accompany the army serve the soldiers by doing laundry, cooking, and even sleeping with the officers, among other unbearable tasks.
Zhao Chuan gasped when he heard this.
Zhongsun Si said that originally I wanted to keep you Shen here for a few days. Firstly, I wanted to treat the old man's eye injury, and secondly, I wanted to ask for some medical advice, but I can't do that now, because the soldiers will start recruiting young men to join the army tonight. The Marquis is recruiting troops. It seems that the current situation is going to be chaotic. I'll take the risk of telling a few people about this news.
, you guys should leave here as soon as possible.
As they were talking, a government official on the street outside was beating a gong and announcing that at the end of the hour tonight, there would be a curfew, and anyone who violated it and ran around would be punished.
"What should I do?" Zhao Chuan looked at Hunyuanzi. Zhao Chuan knew that this female master was a bit extreme, and he had experienced it before.
Hunyuanzi glanced at Zhao Chuan and said what else could be done, save people quickly.
Zhao Chuan said how to save? When a person is in a prison, it is still a dungeon. I have been there before. There is only one exit. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Hunyuanzi said there was no rush, he would take a look at the terrain first.
Did the old man say that some of them were going to save people? I can also do my part. Helping you means helping myself. I want to get back what was taken away from me.
Zhao Chuan said that you are blind and you are a burden even if you go there. How can I help?
The old man said that some of you don't know. Although I am blind, my nose is very good. I can smell anything from a hundred steps away, as long as I smell it in advance.
"Oh, your nose is better than a dog's!" Da Mao exclaimed.
Zhao Chuan said that in this case, what's the use? Hit someone with your nose?
Hunyuanzi said don't worry, this may be useful, let's go and see the topography of the prison in the Yamen first and then talk about it.
Zhongsun Si said that you should not go there in a hurry, because the prison is in the county government compound and you cannot enter at all.
Hunyuanzi frowned and said nothing.
Zhao Chuan asked Zhongsun Si if he wanted to learn the Nine Ghost Acupuncture Technique?
Zhongsun Si said that he definitely wanted to.
Zhao Chuan said that if you can rescue Qi Yatou, I will teach you Jiugui acupuncture, including teaching and skills.
Zhongsun Si looked happy when he heard this, but then he sighed and said it was not easy. He said that now the cell has been taken over by the soldiers, and tomorrow they will all be taken away and used as soldiers to become civilian husbands. They must be very strict...
Zhao Chuan said forget it, I thought you really liked medical skills.
Zhongsun Si said, "I have a plan that can help you save people successfully. Does this count as teaching me the Nine Ghost Acupuncture Techniques?"
Zhao Chuan and Hunyuanzi looked at each other and said, let's talk about it.
Zhongsun Si said that the treasure box the old man brought was called Baolaishe, and it contained the secret that could make people immortal. I heard that when the treasure box was pried open by a few government officials, the mechanism inside was triggered, and poisonous mist was sprayed out, poisoning the government officials and everyone around them to death.
Now that the treasure box is in the hands of the county magistrate, he also knows the secret and is studying it over and over again, wondering how to unlock the secret.
I can go to the county magistrate and tell you that the four of you are the owners of the treasure box that was robbed by the Yamen servants, and you are being treated at my place.
The county magistrate will definitely send someone to arrest you after hearing this.
When someone comes to arrest you, you just surrender. When you are interrogated in the lobby of the county government office, you all accuse Qi Yatou and say that Qi Yatou is your accomplice. The county magistrate will then bring Qi Yatou to confess, and you will have the opportunity to meet him. It’s time for Qi Yatou. Then you take the opportunity to save people. Will this approach work?
Zhao Chuan turned to look at Hunyuanzi again.
Hunyuanzi said it seemed wrong. What if the county magistrate didn't ask Qi Yatou to come out?
Zhongsun Si said that the county magistrate would definitely do it. You can say that Qi Yatou knows the secret of the treasure box.
Zhao Chuan said what if there are too many soldiers in the county government office and we cannot save them?
Zhongsun Si said that you can go after the curfew at night, because at that time most of the soldiers went to various places in the city to catch young men, and there would not be many people in the Yamen.
Hunyuanzi thought for a while and said let's do it.
After the curfew at the end of the Youshi period, Zhongsun Si took the government badge and entered the county government office to see the county magistrate and report as planned.
Sure enough, the county magistrate sent a dozen government officials to arrest the four Zhao Chuan people.
Zhao Chuan and the other four were captured as planned and taken to the Yamen lobby.
The county magistrate was overjoyed and went to court for interrogation. According to the plan, the four people revealed that the seventh girl in the prison knew the secret.
Unexpectedly, the government officer took the county magistrate's warrant and went to the prison to pick up the person. The soldier searched for a long time and said that the woman was unconscious and looked like she was about to die.
The yamen servant went back to report to the county magistrate. The magistrate was very worried and took Qi Yatou up to take a look. Sure enough, she was unconscious.
The county magistrate urgently ordered Zhong Sunsi to try to save the person.
After Zhongsun Si came to take a look, he shook his head and said that this person had not eaten for many days and was already starving and sick. He was unable to save her.
The county magistrate was very anxious after hearing this and asked if there was any other way.
Zhong Sunsi pointed to Zhao Chuan on the side of the lobby and said that this young man's name was Zhao Chuan. He knew a kind of Nine Ghost Acupuncture, which could bring people back to life as long as they were still breathing. You might as well let him try it.
The county magistrate asked people to quickly untie Zhao Chuan and let him get treatment. After figuring out the secret, how many people could be let go.
Zhao Chuan said okay, but he would need a helper for treatment, and asked the county magistrate to let Hunyuanzi go.
The county magistrate asked people to let Hunyuanzi go again.
Zhao Chuan took the silver needle handed over by Zhongsun Si, revived Qi Yatou, and asked Hunyuanzi to secretly inject some spiritual energy into Qi Yatou.
Zhao Chuan then winked at Qi Yatou and told the county magistrate to bring the treasure box over and ask this girl to tell you the secret in detail.
The county magistrate asked someone to fetch the treasure box. Zhao Chuan said that there were too many people in the lobby, so the secret of immortality was just revealed to everyone?
The county magistrate looked around, waved his hand and dismissed the government officials to wait outside the door, leaving only the master alone.
Zhao Chuan pointed to the injured old man with his eyes covered with cloth, and said that this is the owner of this treasure box, and it is possible for him to know those secrets, but he may not want to tell you, we are just passers-by.
When the county magistrate heard this, he was furious and said that he was so bold that he dared to fool his own official. What was his intention?
Zhao Chuan said, you are such a dog official, do you still recognize me?
The county magistrate said that you are so young and insulting my official. Believe it or not, I will send you and others to serve as soldiers and civilian husbands tomorrow.
Zhao Chuan said, you old dog official, do you really not recognize me?
The county magistrate said you are rude, kid, who are you? Have we met? Recruit truthfully!
Zhao Chuan said that in Xintang Town, I almost asked you to disembowel this gangster. Do you remember?
The county magistrate suddenly remembered and nodded in surprise: "So it's you?"
The county magistrate was stunned for a moment, then suddenly woke up and shouted, "Here comes someone!"
But before the officer at the door came in, Hunyuanzi quickly dodged in front of the county magistrate and hit him with a palm. The master screamed in fright and fell to the ground.
Hunyuanzi then turned out the lights in the lobby.
Zhao Chuan took advantage of the darkness to untie the rope between the old man and Da Mao, then stuffed the wooden box into the old man's arms and said, "Come with us quickly!"
Hearing the shouting, government officials rushed in from outside the lobby, but it was pitch dark inside and it was difficult to see anything. Hunyuanzi and Zhao Chuan both had night vision capabilities, and several government officials were killed by the two.
A few people were about to rush out of the lobby and go through the Yamen gate in the dark, when they saw a flash of light. Zhong Sunsi blew the fire stick in his hand and lit the flammable things in the lobby.
Zhongsun Si shouted to several people, "Follow me, walk behind!"
Seeing that several people were still in a daze, Zhongsun Si said that he could not go through the front door, so he should follow me through the back door.
"Come with me quickly!" Zhong Sunsi waved to several people and led him from the side hall to the back hall.
Zhong Sunsi lit the fire as he walked, from the back hall to the backyard, and lit the fire all the way until he left the back gate of the county government office.
"Doctor, what do you mean by lighting a fire?" Damao asked Zhongsun Si as he walked out of the back gate of the county government office.
"The fire will destroy all traces." Zhongsun Si said.
"You are just destroying the body and eradicating the traces. You are still a bastard." Zhao Chuan said.
"Don't you want your ghost-hand acupuncture technique?" Zhongsun Si said, "You guys, please go to my house and take shelter, and teach me acupuncture techniques by the way."
"I want to teach you the acupuncture technique, but now I have to escape for my life. How dare I go to your house? I can't teach it to you." Zhao Chuan said.
"Alas, I was so eager for skills that I neglected this. Where are you going?" Zhongsun Si's voice was full of disappointment.
"In a month, you go to Yangshan County and find an inn to stay. I will ask you to teach you the Nine Ghost Acupuncture Techniques. I will also teach you the Nine God Acupuncture Techniques. I will trick you into thinking you are a puppy!"
Is it a puppy?
After hearing the last sentence, Zhongsun Si stood on the street angry, anxious and regretful, wondering if he had been deceived.
Seeing the group of people disappearing quickly in the darkness, Zhong Sunsi was extremely disappointed. Thinking that he was so old and still trusting others so gullibly while the other person was still a teenager, he felt very stupid.
The night wind was a bit strong, and Zhongsun Si stood alone in the dark and messy.
"Miracle doctor! Miracle doctor!" It wasn't until he heard someone shouting softly from behind that Zhongsun Si turned around and saw a flattering face peeking out from the door of a shop on the street. That face was burned by the county government not far away. The fire was shining brightly red.
"Miracle Doctor Zhongsun, the curfew is already over, why are you still outside?" This face belonged to a young woman, a widow to be precise.
This woman had just lost her husband the year before last. The man died after taking some decoctions from Zhong Sun Si, but this woman did not resent Zhong Sun Si. Of course, Zhong Sunsi did not say that the person died due to misdiagnosis or improper use of medicine.
This man is a tuberculosis that no one can cure.
Zhongsun Si responded with a voice, and turned around to leave, but a fire flashed on the street not far away. People with torches shouted "Rebellion! Rebellion! Come out to greet the king! If you don't come out, you will be killed." Kill the whole family!”
Zhongsun Si wanted to retreat, but the way behind him was the county government office, which was in flames.
The young widow still showed her face through the crack of the half-open door, looking at him intently.
Zhong Sunsi no longer hesitated and squeezed through the widow's door.
"Quickly find a place to hide. Don't go out even if you kill me!" Zhongsun Si squeezed in and closed the door.
In this world, everyone pursues different things.
Although Zhong Sunsi is over fifty, he is still unmarried. He has dreamed of becoming a miracle doctor like Hua Tuo or Bian Que since he was a child. Although he has been pursuing it tirelessly for decades, he still feels that he has not been able to achieve his dream.
Although the young widow called him a miracle doctor tonight, she knew that he was not a miracle doctor.
However, it must be admitted that only this young widow was filled with admiration and called him a miracle doctor.
