There are many vines climbing on the wall, forming withered and mottled traces, giving it a slightly vicissitude of life. It is also surrounded by the surrounding trees. It is remote and quiet, and for no reason, it makes people feel a bit eerie.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the famous and majestic Jixia Palace in the rumors.
As I got closer, I looked up and saw a plaque at the door that read: Do not treat the living.
Lu Anran frowned slightly and said, "Master, is this the lower palace of Naiji?"
The old man replied: "Of course."
Lu Anran: "Where is the assessment?"
Old man: "No."
Lu Anran considered: "The students are still taking assessments, so it's inevitable..."
The old man noticed that you were very smart, but you looked like a fool: "You have already passed, why are you going to the assessment office?"
Lu Anran: "..."
The old man pointed upward: "Why, didn't you come here specifically to take the exam at my medical clinic?"
Lu Anran didn't care what the medical school was, and said honestly: "Students who come here to study medicine should go to the medical school."
The old man's face showed displeasure, and he snorted: "If you don't join the medical clinic, why would you take this path?"
Lu Anran was confused: "There is a formation in the forest, and the students don't know why."
The old man shook his head: "No, no, those prudes from the Medical Sect must have sent someone to give guidance. Ordinary people can't come to my place."
Lu Anran was silent. She thought of the man who was covering his leg and bleeding. "Maybe I made a mistake."
The old man stared at her for a long time, then suddenly laughed: "You are wasting your kindness in treating living people. You deserve to be admitted to my medical clinic."
Lu Anran opened her mouth to speak, but the old man waved his hand back and said enigmatically: "If you don't hurry up, you can go to the Medical Sect now." After saying that, he pointed out a way for her.
—
Lu Anran didn't expect to waste a lot of time. She was the first person to walk to the gate of Jixia Palace. She was led to stand in the square, bowing her head and standing quietly, but her heart was not so peaceful.
The moment he stood firm, a bell rang.
It's far-reaching, long and heavy.
Lu Anran thought, before the bell could ring through the foot of the mountain, it seemed that people in the whole mountain would hear it, and they didn't know what it meant.
She kept her eyes still and glanced at it with her peripheral vision. Jixia Palace lived up to its name. It was indeed a majestic palace.
At this moment, the gilt tiles were illuminated by the last ray of sunlight, shining brightly and truly magnificent.
Her fingers hidden in her sleeves curled up slightly, and there was a wave-like surge in her heart, which quickly subsided.
All kinds of thoughts come back to me, and they come back a thousand times.
I thought of the old man just now, who had a strange temperament and was moody, much like the little girl I met on the street before. Then I thought about the little girl, and thought that she came from Xuanmen in Lucheng. It is said that 80% of the people in Lucheng have the surname Lu, and she is probably the same.
Xu Jia probably has finished handling the matter, so she should explain it in advance and let Ding Yi and the others set off back to Mengdu.
I don't know how injured Yun Qi's subordinates are. I think people who are normally physically strong should be fine. Otherwise, due to his own way of character, no matter what she said, he would still take her for treatment.
Moreover, being carried around like a chicken is really uncomfortable.
After thinking so wildly and randomly, Lu Anran suddenly came to his senses.
The reason why she was like this was that she was ultimately upset.
At this time, Lu Anran felt other footsteps approaching, and even an extremely sharp look, but she didn't pay attention. She looked up at the upright and vigorous words "Ji Xia Gong", and something seemed to be coming out.
Torches were lit in the square, and the flames reached into the sky, swinging on the bodies of the students who were exhausted and exhausted. It was not clear whether it was the people or the light that was crumbling.
The master who had appeared halfway up the mountain came over and shook his wide sleeves. In the dark night, his wind robe was beating, and he was dressed in white like snow, like an immortal descending.
He said: "When the time is up, anyone who goes up the mountain after that will be considered eliminated."
Among the students, some couldn't help but say: "Huh? Is this really an assessment?"
You can tell by the voice that it is the second son of Su Guogong's family.
The Master said with a cold face: "Whenever you enter the Jixia Palace, you must not speak nonsense, do not speak or behave in a disrespectful manner, tidy up your clothes, refrain from making noise, and do not interrupt your teacher's words."
In the crowd, Su Zhi silently moved a few inches away.
The wind is blowing, no one is talking in the square, the palace on the top of the mountain can touch the sky, covered by clouds and mist, it looks like a fairy palace, without losing its majesty.
However, Lu Anran felt that the words "Jixia Palace" seemed to be wandering and struggling under the moving mist around them, trying to get out of the box.
"The one who passed just now is the first round of assessment. Now everyone goes to the front to get the right card. According to the chosen sect, they go to the assessment with the waiter." Behind the master, a row of eight people each held a golden lacquered wooden tray in their hands. There are many signs placed on it.
The ranking just now was based on the order of going up the mountain, so Lu Anran could choose first.
From left to right, the first waiter holds 'Wenzheng' in his hand, then the second 'Tongwu', and so on until the third.
Lu Anran's footsteps stopped suddenly. She lowered her head and looked at the wooden sign above, which read 'Xinglin'.
—
Following the waiter into Jixia Palace, he saw the majestic Chong Pavilion, with red and red couplets engraved on Jie, the roof of the palace soaring into the sky, and the door decorations with gold and jade complementing each other, making it magnificent.
When everyone saw the legendary Jixia Palace for the first time, they were all curious, and then the master warned them. Although they were careful in their words and deeds and did not dare to look around blatantly, their little eyes would fly from time to time.
Stopping in a square courtyard, the waiter turned around and saluted everyone, smiling slightly: "Please enter in the order you are now, only one person can enter at a time." After saying that, he looked at Lu Anran.
Lu Anran raised his eyes slightly and clenched the cards in his hand.
Xinglin.
In ancient times, there was Dong Feng, who treated people's diseases and ordered them to plant five apricots. After a few years, he grew up to ten thousand apricots.
Later generations praised medical skills as "Xinglin Sage"; "Xinglin Chunman" praised medical ethics; and "Xinglin Medical Records" were kept as collections.
Therefore, Jixiagong Medical Sect takes the word "Xinglin" as its token.
Stepping into the threshold, the cold wind behind him and a soft hum filled Lu Anran's ears, but the waiter had already closed the door, and everything was quickly locked out.
The room was brightly lit, and including the chief, there were five people in total, two on each side.
They are all dressed in uniform, as white as snow, meticulous from beginning to end, even the jade tassels hanging from their waists are in the same position, and their faces are solemn, upright and rigorous.
Lu Anran raised his hand to salute, lowered his eyes to the tips of his shoes, and heard a sound hitting his head.
"Did you place first in the assessment just now?"
After saluting, Lu Anran raised his head slightly and looked at the chief, who was also the one who asked the question just now.
"yes."
What surprised Lu Anran was that among the five people, the one sitting in the chief position was the youngest. However, he was still in his forties, and his eyebrows were as sharp as a knife, showing his fortitude.
In comparison, the other four elders have gray hair, kind faces, and peaceful eyes, making them more like doctors.
After a brief moment of silence, the person sitting in chief said, "In that case, there is no need for the assessment."
Lu Anran frowned slightly, and heard an old man on the left sigh: "Little girl, you have a good character, but you can't join my medical sect."
Lu Anran said: "I'm sorry for my students' stupidity. Please clarify, masters."
"You have a good character, but you don't have the benevolence to save lives and heal the wounded. You are not worthy of being a disciple of the medical family." The old man paused and said kindly: "If you are playing other rituals, music, and piano games, you don't need this one."
It means that she can still take advantage of the opportunity to make another choice.
Only he could hear Lu Anran's breathing under the cover of his face. His dark eyes were turbulent, but he soon calmed down and said, "There is no assessment, why do you say this, Master?"
This time it was the chief who spoke, and he asked: "Why do you want to be a doctor?"
Answer: "Medicine."
Asked again: "What's the explanation?"
Lu Anran: "Medical medicine can be done, but it cannot be done. You must be talented and alert, and read thousands of books, and then you can save the world."
He shook his head and said: "The way of a doctor is called virtue. It has the benevolence to help the world and save lives, the concentration to be cautious and responsible, and the perseverance to study all your life. In order to win the competition, you ignore the lives of others. You lack the benevolence of medical ethics, so you are not suitable to come. My medical sect.”
The old man who spoke first stood at the door at some point and said to Lu Anran: "Look at this person, do you recognize him?"
Lu Anran looked over and saw that it was the injured man he met halfway up the mountain before, and nodded: "It was a one-time relationship."
It turns out that the appearance of this young man is also part of the assessment, which is especially important for disciples who aspire to the Medical Sect.
The man kept glaring at Lu Anran. He was obviously deeply impressed by Lu Anran. He had never seen such a cold-hearted woman!
An injured man groaned for a long time and didn't even know how to run over to take a look, so forget it!
He even sent it to her and still refused with an indifferent expression.
The most important thing is that he gave him one last chance. If Lu Anran agreed to the conditions and reluctantly treated him, he would be able to pass the test.
So the man was extremely depressed. He was really trying his best to let go, but there was such a straight person.
"The assessment includes not only firm belief, but also a benevolent heart that helps the world." The old man said.
Lu Anran was silent.
The chief said again: "You are a doctor. You can sit back and ignore the patient when you are in front of you." He asked those four words again, "Why do you want to be a doctor?"
Lu Anran lowered his eyes to the ground, and the old man he met before sounded in his mind.
He said at the time: "Go ahead, go ahead, you won't pass the Medical Sect test anyway, the Medical Sect won't accept such a disciple, hehe."
There is also that mysterious saying: "Being determined is not necessarily a bad thing, but giving up is too."
—
"Come out, come out."
"She doesn't have the jade medal of the Medical Sect in her hand."
"What? Did she fail the assessment..."
Amidst the faint sounds, Lu Anran kept walking outside, and suddenly faced a purple figure.
Lu Anran raised his eyelids. The woman in front of him was as beautiful as a flower. Her eyebrows were flying, and her eyes were full of arrogance. She only saw the corner of her lips curled up, revealing a very mean smile, "Ha~"
This sound of contempt is better than countless words.
The woman in purple swung her wide sleeves, as if shaking off stolen goods, and hit Lu Anran with her sleeves. She walked into the assessment room with her chin raised and didn't even bother to look at her.
She is second after Lu Anran.
Lu Anran slowly lowered her long eyelashes, resumed her steps, and left the courtyard.
When he raised his head, he was stunned on the spot.
