Chapter 428: Huzhou Experience

…

Huzhou City is the capital of Huzhou Prefecture under the jurisdiction of Beiyue Province. A population of more than 100,000 is concentrated in this large city located on the lakeside plain.

Xu Junming, dressed in a green robe, walked over with a green bamboo staff and a yellow gourd hanging on his waist.

After paying the city entry tax of two grains, he followed the flow of people and entered the city.

Although the surrounding peddlers and shops are still as prosperous as before, looking at the beggars crowding the streets, we can see that the political situation of Dayongjiang is deteriorating.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way...!"

With the brutal driving by the government officials, countless people were pushed aside with water and fire sticks. Xu Junming frowned slightly, but did not take action and retreated to the side.

After the government officials cleared the streets, a large group of carriages and horses came rolling in.

He was surrounded by knights wearing bright clothes and angry horses.

A large flag was held high next to it.

"Jingnan Prince's Mansion."

"Old man, who is this King of Jingnan? He actually travels in a sedan with a capacity of sixteen people. This has violated the ancestral rule set by the Taizu of this dynasty that the official sedans of princes and princes cannot carry more than twelve people. Isn't he afraid that the emperor will find out and punish him?

?”

The person who spoke was a young scholar, and from the look of him, he was clearly a young man with passion.

Next to him, an old man with gray hair wearing a patched coarse cloth turned his head and looked at it for a moment.

"Are you from a foreign country?"

"I'm Zhao Songyun. I passed by here on my way to Beijing to take the exam."

"It's strange that I have to know. Let me tell you, this King of Jingnan is General Dayong Longxiang, who is in charge of an army of 200,000 in Beiyue Province. Not to mention violating the ancestral system, even if he chops off the head of the prefect of Huzhou, the emperor will not

I won’t say anything. In this Beiyue Province, Jingnan King Liu Zhiyuan is ‘this’.”

The old man pointed towards the sky.

"Damn it, this man is really bold. I have to take part in the Jinluan Palace Examination in the future." Zhao Songyun said angrily.

Xu Junming glanced at him. Zhao Songyun had little official aura and little fortune. Even if he went to Beijing to take the exam, he would not be able to reach the imperial examination.

After the cars from the Jingnan Palace passed by, the government officials no longer blocked the streets, and the still-wide streets became prosperous again.

After Xu Junming walked forward for a while, he turned to the right, passed through several alleys, and came to the outside of a dilapidated courtyard.

I briefly looked at the courtyard wall, which was made of compacted earth blocks with straw in the middle, and walked in through the firewood gate opened on the side.

The yard is very simple, but it is very clean, and the clotheslines nearby are full of drying herbs.

Some ragged women and children were queuing up.

At the end of the team was a doctor wearing a green shirt and a short beard.

It can be seen that this doctor is not rich either. The green shirt on his body is full of patches, and even if it is intact, it is a little white from the starch.

However, despite his ragged clothes, the doctor exuded a kind and trustworthy aura.

Gentle, gentle and approachable.

At this moment, he was taking the pulse of a middle-aged woman.

Looking at the woman's clothes, one can tell that she does not come from a wealthy family.

"alright."

"Doctor, can my disease be cured?" the woman asked with concern.

"It can be cured."

"real?"

The doctor in green shirt smiled and nodded, stood up and took a few packets of medicine from the bamboo basket next to him, and gave them to the woman.

"Take these medicines back and take them twice a day after meals. Come back to me after eating."

"Contact fee and medicine fee...?"

“There is no need for consultation fee or medication fee.”

"Thank you, doctor. Thank you, doctor."

The woman left with a lot of gratitude.

The people behind him followed, and throughout the morning, there was an endless stream of people coming here to see a doctor, almost all of whom were poor people and beggars.

Finally, when there were fewer people around at noon, the scholar took out a steamed bun, soaked it in hot water, and finished his lunch with pickles.

After eating, he still held a copy of "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" in his hand and read it non-stop.

There were a lot less people in the afternoon.

It was busy until the evening, and then the door was closed.

Compared with lunch, dinner only has a little more wild vegetable porridge.

After dinner, the scholar first took out a pen and paper and wrote down his experience of today's medical treatment. After pondering for a moment, he put it away and took out a wooden box from the bookcase with great care.

After opening it, he removed the outer layer of oilcloth and took out a navy blue thread-bound book from inside.

The scholar put the book on the table, turned the pages gently, and read the contents aloud.

You can see a layer of milky white brilliance, which becomes stronger little by little as the scholar reads.

"The aura of creation."

Xu Junming thought.

"He is indeed a good candidate for practicing the Tao of Creation. In just one year, without any teaching, he was able to form the Talisman of Creation in his Dantian, much faster than I did."

A gentle voice came from Xu Junming's left side.

Xu Junming nodded slightly, turned around, and looked at the woman next to him who was wearing a green sarong, holding a cane, her hair wrapped in a silk scarf, and there was a birthmark on her left cheek.

"It seems that you think highly of him."

"To be able to use his mortal body to treat illnesses and save people without fear of hardships, and has persisted for three years, this kind of perseverance is something that most people do not have. I believe that he can complete 300,000 good deeds within a hundred years."

Xu Junming nodded slightly.

"If this is the case, you will have one more good disciple, and our Chongshan sect will have one more direct disciple."

The woman nodded in agreement and gathered her skirt as a gift.

"Shou Xin pays homage to my mentor."

"No need to be polite, just get up."

Looking at his third disciple whom he hadn’t seen for a long time.

"Yes, the Nascent Soul has been consummated."

"I would like to thank my mentor for his guidance."

He waved his hand.

"There is no need to be polite between you and me, master and disciple. Let's go to your place."

As soon as he took a step, the figure disappeared instantly. When he reappeared, it was already a small courtyard surrounded by various flowers and a quiet environment.

He glanced at the fruit-laden pomegranate tree in the middle of the yard and changed his gaze.

In the hall next to her, a little girl about 6 years old with braids, a floral dress, an apple face and big eyes ran out from inside.

"Master."

After looking at Xu Junming warily, he shouted and ran straight towards Qiao Shouxin.

"come over!"

He took the little girl's hand and walked to Xu Junming.

"Master, this is a disciple that my disciple has taken in over the years. His name is Gongsun Jiuniang."

"Jiuniang, come and kowtow to Master."

The little girl knelt down obediently and kowtowed three times to Xu Junming.

"Jiuniang pays homage to the master."

After Xu Junming smiled and nodded, he raised his hand, and a secret energy surged out, lifting Gongsun Jiuniang up.

At the same time, a milky white lotus flower, carrying a Pot Heaven Spirit Talisman, flew to Gongsun Jiuniang.

This lotus is not the lotus in the creation spirit pond in Xu Junming's backyard, but a middle-grade magic weapon that he trained with spiritual energy.

"This is the meeting gift given to you by Master."

Gongsun Jiuniang, who has been practicing with Qiao Shouxin for three years and has already reached the advanced stage of innate cultivation, recognized at a glance that the two treasures given by her master were extraordinary.

He wanted to do it very much, but he still looked at his master with questioning eyes.
