Lu Anran stood in front of the house with black walls and red tiles again, and discovered that under the eaves at the top of the main entrance, there were a few slightly convex characters made with gold paint, saying: Medical Clinic.
However, vines surrounded the entire house, and the golden paint was difficult to see whether it was old or dimmed in the dusk.
It was dark now, but a bright light came out, which highlighted the three words. If you look closely, it turns out that there are huge pearls embedded on both sides of the three words.
To be honest, Lu Anran came from a big family and was used to seeing all kinds of rare jewelry. The pearl was not the rarest, but it was the first time in his life that he had seen it embedded in the wall to see the house number.
Seeing this, the old man said with some pride: "It's hard for them to touch the door when it's dark, so they won't go wrong."
Lu Anran was puzzled: "Are you a disciple here?"
Why did she hear that there was no movement inside, it was pitch black, without a trace of candlelight, and she wondered if there was anyone else besides the two of them.
The old man looked at her and said, "Of course not."
When the two of them entered the door, the old man said: "Seeing that you want to join the Medical Sect so much, I thought you would cry if you were kicked out."
Lu Anran pursed her lips. No wonder she saw him when she went out. She smiled at him outside the door with a serious look on her face. She didn't expect that he had such a joke in his heart. He was such an old man.
"It's better not to go. It turns out that a bunch of fake people are just so-so, but since they fell into the hands of those who don't want to make progress, they've turned into a pile of stinking shit, tsk."
"Don't want to make progress..." is actually a personal name?
"Oh, my name is Shi Jinquan. I always have trouble remembering it. It will be easier to remember if I change my name." The old man said, "If you are content with the status quo and don't seek to make progress, then you don't want to make progress."
Lu Anran thought to herself, don't you remember people's names?
When her thoughts were wandering, the old man suddenly said: "No matter how ineffective a disciple of the Medical Sect is, the imitation of the injury should not be too fake."
Lu Anran came back to his senses and said slowly: "He showed too much pain, but his expression was calm, and according to the fact that he was bleeding profusely at the time, his face should be pale and his lips were bloodless, but he spoke with great energy and his face was rosy. Coincidentally, He also knows formations."
The old man twitched his lips: "Just go ahead and trick a fool like this."
Lu Anran nodded, agreeing very much.
The old man said cheerfully: "Since you have seen through it, why don't you just follow it?"
Lu Anran asked: "Since there is a way, why do I need others to take me?"
"You can see clearly, but you don't take shortcuts. You said you wanted to join the Medical Sect, and now you are not disappointed. You little girl is quite interesting."
To say I'm not disappointed is not entirely true.
At the very least, on the way to the royal capital, Lu Anran had the idea of going to Jixia Palace and entering the Medical Sect to seek medical knowledge.
"You can't be a doctor if you have no benevolence." Lu Anran told the old man and also told himself.
After hearing this, the old man sneered: "It's full of absurdity. All the words of benevolence and righteousness in your mouth are false benevolence and righteousness. It's better to abandon benevolence and righteousness as soon as possible."
Lu Anran was stunned, hearing such a statement for the first time.
The old man put his hands behind his back, and his other expression became serious. The firelight shone on his dark face, and his eyes were as bright as obsidian, giving people a sense of awe.
He said: "There is benevolence and righteousness in the failure of the great road, great hypocrisy in the emergence of wisdom, filial piety and kindness in the disharmony of relatives, and loyal ministers in the chaos of the country. Everything happens naturally and naturally. Only when nature is lost can there be benevolence, righteousness, filial piety, kindness, loyalty and treachery.
There are saints who practice Taoism, promote good deeds and seek truth, and there are those who pretend to be saints but act hypocritically and cunningly.
If you don’t lose yourself, how can you talk about losing others? "
Lu Anran slowly exhaled in two breaths, raised his hand, and gave a respectful student salute to the old man, "Students are taught."
"Haha, that's a good thing, isn't it? Your senior brother said it." The old man smiled, and his unpredictable expression collapsed instantly.
Lu Anran: "..."
After a while, "I still have a senior brother."
The old man frowned: "I am not the only one in the medical clinic. However, your senior brother has traveled around the world and is no longer in the royal capital."
Lu Anran was indifferent: "If the student guessed correctly, it means not treating the living... we should be the ones doing it."
The old man's eyebrows flew up and he scolded: "Why, you treat him like a lowly person like those prudes and look down on him? Look at what happened to the dead, and look at how noble the living are, as if they were not living before."
Lu Anran: "...No."
However, a coward is not a doctor and still needs to travel around. Where can he find cases?
—
It was almost midnight, and Lu Anran left the medical clinic and walked down the mountain. From time to time, green and cold fire flickered on the roads on both sides, like ghosts in the night, elusive and evil.
Lu Anran suddenly thought that the two pearls lighting up the door of the medical clinic were not guiding people at all, but the spirits of the dead.
Because there is really only one Lei Weng in the medical clinic, and she and the senior brother who are temporarily wandering around.
Lei Weng is the old man, the master of the medical clinic.
It can be said that the family is so cold, no wonder he wants to go out to attract students in person.
However, there were several corpses placed in the small courtyards at the back. They were from different eras and died in different ways. Some were soaked in large vats with special potions, and some only had a skeleton left.
The sage said that "the body, hair and skin are the parents". After death, the three souls return to heaven and the soul enters the earth. The seven souls are the flesh/body, so it is safe to go to the earth.
So at first glance, Lu Anran was shocked. Could it be that the old man stole it from somewhere...
Lei Weng squinted: "Whatever you steal, I got it through the right channels."
It's not appropriate to say "purchase". In fact, Lei Weng had said hello to the death row. If the prisoners were willing, he would spend money to buy the bodies of those criminals after they were executed.
Even if they are full of evil and claim to not believe in destiny, few would be willing to have their bodies tortured and desecrated in some way after death. Moreover, people who hang their heads on their belts have nothing to worry about. What else do they need money for after death? .
"Over the past ten years, I have asked 3,521 death row inmates, and only these few agreed to my request." Leon pointed at the corpses in front of him, "They have evil guests who massacre people. There were gangsters who robbed and killed people, and there were also businessmen who committed crimes impulsively. I remember each one of them very clearly."
Lu Anran stopped next to a corpse and listened to Lei Weng: "No matter how evil-doing people are, there is still a trace of conscience in their hearts. Now that the sins in his past have been eliminated, he deserves to be treated with respect."
Even this last act of conscience is just to leave some money for relatives.

The climb up the mountain was blocked by the barrier formation, so the descent was much faster. When we reached the foot of the mountain, we found that the light was like daylight, and a group of people gathered tightly where the students were in the morning.
Lu Anran quickly found Chunmiao in the crowd, all thanks to the extremely coquettish carriage in the middle.
That's right, Chun Miao is sitting in front of the frame.
"Miss." Chunmiao jumped down and waved to Lu Anran.
Lu Anran only hesitated for a moment, and before he walked over and said anything, a fan stretched out from the carriage, and the curtain was raised, revealing half of his face that looked like a demon or a fairy.
Lu Anran faced him and said calmly: "Prince Yun."
In fact, when I first saw it, I was really surprised, but now I am naturally calm.
"Get in the car." After Yun Qi finished speaking, the people had already stepped back, and the curtain of the carriage swayed slightly, completely covering the scenery inside the car again.
Lu Anran hesitated longer this time, glancing at Chun Miao during the break.
Chunmiao lowered her head: "...Watching the Moon said we were on the way, and there were too many people and it was dark, so I was standing alone for fear that the young lady would not be found." The more she spoke, the lower her voice became.
Guan Yue was standing next to the carriage, and her tone was more polite than before: "Miss Lu, hurry up and get on the carriage. The road here will be blocked when there are too many people."
It seemed that there were more people coming down the mountain, and the noise gradually started coming from behind. It was noisy like a market in the morning, and Lu Anran no longer hesitated.
In the crowd, the woman in purple jumped on the horse with a strong figure, and contemptuously uttered two words from her mouth in the direction of the carriage: "Trash."
There was a bright pearl placed in the carriage, which was larger and brighter than the two in the medical clinic. It illuminated the inside very clearly.
Yun Qi bent one knee and rested his right hand on it. His index finger hooked the jade pendant strap on the handle of the fan, swaying in a leisurely manner. His clothes were still loose and casual.
After the space was condensed and the two faced each other, Lu Anran felt an embarrassment he had never felt before.
Yun Qi raised his eyes and spoke first, "Congratulations to the newly promoted disciple of the Jixia Palace Medical Sect."
Others in her current situation, if they were more sensitive, might have heard Yun Qi being sarcastic, but she knew it was not because the people at the bottom of the mountain had no idea what was happening above.
Lu Anran's eyes were calm under his covered face, and his expression remained unchanged as he said, "I failed the assessment."
Yun Qi was a little surprised. He retracted his index finger and held the handle of the fan with his palm. He leaned forward slightly and said, "It doesn't make sense. The time has passed."
The bell resounded through the mountains, and the people waiting at the foot of the mountain naturally heard it. In addition, a group of students came down the mountain dejectedly before dark, and everyone knew that Jixiagong said that the assessment was an assessment, and there was no adulteration at all.
Naturally, if you go down the mountain at this time, you will definitely enter Jixia Palace.
Lu Anran shook his head and explained: "I failed the Medical Sect's assessment."
Yun Qi chuckled: "That makes even more sense. Although you may not have much future as a female celebrity, at least you are quite talented in medical skills. How could those old men from the Medical Sect miss a talent like you."
Thinking of the sutured wound on Mo Yan's abdomen, Lu Anran felt ashamed for a moment, and was stunned for a moment because of Yun Qi's confident second half of the sentence.
Yun Qi raised an eyebrow: "You ignored the injured who came to you for help on the road?"
Lu Anran was surprised: "How did you..."
"I heard something."
Lu Anran didn't think so.
Even the aristocratic families in the royal capital may not know about this assessment. Otherwise, when Jixia Palace announces the assessment, the disciples below will not be at a loss.
So how come Yunqi even knows about the assessment on the way up the mountain?
Yun Qi didn't say anything, but said: "Your character is solitary at best, cold and ruthless at worst. Even when someone actually broke his leg, you turned a blind eye. How could you spend so much effort to care about someone who pretended to be injured?" By."
Lu Anran gently rubbed the nails of his left hand with the thumb of his right hand, half-casting his eyes and said, "I just think that medical skills are not a joke."
"Even if it's an assessment?"
"yes."
Yun Qi chuckled: "Or you didn't plan to join the Medical Sect in the first place."
Lu Anran suddenly raised his head: "No, I have always..."
"Whatever you insist on is right?"
