The so-called venue is actually a temporary enclosure built by Baicao Pavilion in the open space outside.
Although it is for temporary use, it cannot be careless after all.
The preliminaries were about some basic things, and there were actually more viewing stands than the competition venue.
Except for Lin Mengya and Zuo Qiuyu, who were sitting on the second floor to watch the ceremony, most of the other officials were sitting at the sidelines.
Under the baptism of everyone's gaze, Lin Mengya, accompanied by Zuo Qiuyu, sat in her seat.
Here, she can clearly see everything happening inside the venue, but because of the bead curtain, she can't see her details clearly from the outside.
"You go ahead first, the prince and princess don't want others to disturb you."
Yu'an, dressed in black clothes, is Lin Mengya's most capable assistant.
He drove away all the people who were waiting on him, and lowered all the bead curtains everywhere.
The two cousins temporarily had a relatively safe and enclosed small space. ??
"Have you seen anyone from the Zhu family?"
Lin Mengya was not familiar with these officials who came to watch the ceremony, but fortunately, Yu'an, a know-it-all, was there.
"Yes, I have seen it. Mr. Zhu is down there, and the one beside him is his nephew. It is also the person chosen by the Zhu family this time."
Yu'an pointed out the location of the Zhu family to Lin Mengya.
Because they were not far away, Lin Mengya could clearly see the appearance of Zhu Qiyun and his nephew.
I have to admit that Zhu Qiyun is definitely a master of acting.
Just after his biological son died, he was able to chat and laugh happily with the people around him, without any flaws on his face.
On the other hand, the handsome young man sitting next to him seemed to be a little restless.
"Tell me to go down and keep an eye on them."
It is absolutely impossible to say that you are not worried about Long Tianyu.
However, Lin Mengya now knows very well that the reason why Zhu Qiyun dared to touch Long Tianyu must have a big conspiracy.
Suddenly bursts of salutes rang out outside, and amid the roar of heavy drums, the opening of the medical skills competition officially began.
Baicao Pavilion, this huge building located in the old capital.
Because of the upcoming change of power, a mysterious door has been opened.
Lin Mengya once asked Zuo Qiuchen why all the emperors in the previous generations would allow a Baicao Pavilion to be built next to their own palace, which was even more magnificent and exquisite than the palace.
Compared with the vermilion and green tiles of the Imperial Palace, the buildings in Baicao Pavilion are mostly white and green.
Compared with the solemn palace, the architectural style is a bit more flexible and elegant.
Looking from a distance, the palace in the old capital looks like a flying dragon reunited.
But the building of Baicao Pavilion is more like an elixir that grows in the human world.
r>
It's not grand and grand, but more of a simple to the extreme elegance and refinement.
I heard from cousin Chen that the building of Baicao Pavilion was designed by a mysterious person.
For hundreds of years, no one dared to rebuild it privately.
The person who designed it is certainly a strange person. But he must have designed the Baicao Pavilion like this to remind everyone at all times not to be greedy for power.
You should study herbal medicine wholeheartedly.
It's a pity that later people also made this Baicao Pavilion a mess because of their desire.
Lin Mengya only felt extremely regretful and hoped that Cousin Yu could successfully take over the position of the Great Elder of Baicao Pavilion.
If it were him, this place, which was originally intended to save all sentient beings, would have been able to continue peacefully for decades.
"The Baicao Pavilion Elder Selection Medical Skills Competition starts now!"
A mellow voice passed through the temporarily built red stage outside.
Then, many heavyweights from Baicao Pavilion took their seats.
Lin Mengya looked at the medical experts wearing fine white uniforms and shook her head gently.
In fact, as the host, they were the last to appear, which is understandable.
But before, the salute with cannons and music was much grander than when he and Zuo Qiuyu appeared.
This is an overstep, because Zuo Qiuyu is not just a contestant.
He is the prince of Lintian, and this time, he represents the will of the king of Lintian again.
In this way, the identity becomes even more different.
Although it was a small detail, Lin Mengya and Zuo Qiuyu also sensed a somewhat unusual flavor.
"Those are the most powerful elders in Baicao Pavilion. Huh, relying on their elders and neglecting them, and recruiting many disciples is simply misleading others."
Zuo Qiuyu whispered with some disdain.
In fact, the elders in Baicao Pavilion are not necessarily the most skilled in medicine.
For example, Zuo Qiuyu's master was a legendary and famous doctor of his generation. However, because he had no power and strong backing, he was only a nominal elder in Baicao Pavilion.
Therefore, he obviously has a strong opinion against these elders who do whatever they can to gain fame.
"Don't worry, the fun has just begun, just wait and see."
Lin Mengya was not worried at all, although Zuo Qiuyu's participation brought invisible pressure to them.
But Baicao Pavilion has long been no longer a piece of iron. Cousin Chen has not been idle for so many years.
Although there was no way to destroy it, Zuo Qiuchen did such an immoral thing as dividing it diligently.
The Great Elder has been missing for many years. If he were alive now, he would probably be a centenarian.
Therefore, the change of power will happen sooner or later.
Moreover, the fact that my mother left without saying goodbye also gave these people a chance.
Judging from the information she collected and the information Zuo Qiuchen and others gave her.
There are a total of five people who are most likely to aspire for the position of great elder.
The neutral faction, and the weakest among them, is an elder named Chang Tianhua.
This man has just turned fifty this year, which is the golden age of a doctor. ??
His medical skills are extremely superb. This time, Lin Mengya came to treat his right arm because she wanted to see him.
However, this person has the most stubborn temper. He prefers studying medical skills to fighting for power.
Therefore, Cousin Chen often helped him secretly. Only then could he achieve his current position. He was also Zuo Qiuchen's last choice.
Lin Mengya could see clearly that Chang Tianhua was also sitting outside. Compared with the four people, he looked more like a little old man among the people.
Although his body is lean, his dark face exudes fortitude and kindness.
He didn't whisper to the people around him, he seemed like an outsider.
Sitting next to Chang Tianhua is a man who looks very tall and strong.
That was Qian Yuming, the elder in charge of Qianyaofang in Baicao Pavilion.
Although he looks honest and honest, this old guy has the darkest hands.
He manages Qianyaofang every year, and there is no telling how many medicinal materials leak out from his hands.
Qianjia was originally an aristocratic family. Although it looked good on the outside, it was already empty on the inside.
Qian Yuming, however, relied on his own efforts to feed Qianjia until he was fat.
It's just a pity that Cousin Chen gave them the medicinal materials that were wasted indiscriminately.
If such moths are not eliminated, Baicao Pavilion will never have peace.
And he is the target that Lin Mengya focuses on 'taking care of' this time.
Because compared to her love for money, her heart is much darker than Qian Yuming's.
Sitting among these five people is an old man who looks like he is dying. In fact, this old man named Nan Rui is an immortal guy.
These five people were extremely respectful to him, and their eagle-like eyes were always shining with shrewdness.
That guy is the younger brother of the previous great elder, and the two have been competing for more than fifty years.
A person has also grown from a strong young man to what he is now.
Cousin Chen said that this person is sinister and vicious, and Lin Mengya and the others must be on guard against him. r> The bait that Cousin Chen put in, Li Yuan, is his apprentice.
The old guy looked like he was dying, but he was so cruel and vicious that he was no longer inferior to these younger people.
On the contrary, he was determined to hold all the errands of handling money firmly in his own hands.
The remaining two are brothers.
One is called Duanmu Yang and the other is called Duanmu Yin.
Acquisition means the harmony of yin and yang, and the same is true for the personalities of two people.
One has a violent personality and the other has a feminine personality.
The two brothers were in charge of the Disciple's Workshop and the Medical Scripture Workshop, and their power was at its peak.
It's rare for the two brothers to work together, so they can share the world with Qian Yuming and Nan Rui.
At this time, the five of them were sitting in a row on the stage, looking even more solemn than Lin Mengya and the others.
"It's over in a while, and I'll take you to find Elder Chang. Brother Huang has already said hello, and I guess he will try his best to treat you."
Although Zuo Qiuyu was nervous, he had to pretend to be calm because his cousin was sitting next to him.
Except for Chang Tianhua, these five people all have a lot of connections with him.
Perhaps, "deep hatred" is more appropriate.
"Cousin Yu, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Mengya could feel Zuo Qiuyu's efforts to suppress the emotions. Although those people were indeed hateful, they should not have made Zuo Qiuyu become like this.
Zuo Qiuyu looked stunned for a moment, but subconsciously shook his head as he looked at his sister.
"fine."
It's better not to tell Lin Mengya some things. She is already annoyed enough. He can just solve these things.
Although Lin Mengya was a little worried, Zuo Qiuyu knew the importance after all.
Turning my attention back to the stands, today's preliminaries were divided into three categories.
The first item requires participants to identify a thousand herbs mixed together within one stick of incense.
As long as you can accurately find out the prescribed ones before the time is up, that's all.
However, you must know that if a thousand kinds of herbs are mixed together, it will be extremely difficult to distinguish a few of them.
This is also the strict requirement of Baicao Pavilion. As a doctor, how can he cure diseases and save people if he can't even distinguish herbal medicines.
Under the eyes of everyone present, someone moved a dozen round tables.
On the periphery of the table, there are twelve yellow wooden boxes.
The name of the medicine should be posted inside. Then, after placing them properly, several people carried twelve wooden boxes and walked to the side of the table.
