Shi Xuan gave his own opinion, and it was Zhang Li's own business whether to follow it or not.
Zhang Daquan and his wife, who entered the room next, saw that Zhang Li's cough had improved greatly. Naturally, they listened to Shi Xuan's instructions with tears of gratitude, patted their chests and promised to nourish Zhang Li well.
Shi Xuan has been staying in this town for three days, but he has not seen anyone from Chixia Shenjun Temple come here again. At the same time, the lively Shi Xuan has also made the townspeople who still believe in Shenjun even more confused. They themselves are doubtful.
Those who have basically abandoned their belief in the God-King.
In the past three days, some people with headaches and fevers in the town have come to Shixuan. Shixuan welcomes all comers, and it happens that the Ecstasy Banner needs to absorb the sick energy. However, it is a small town after all, and there are not so many seriously ill people.
Shi Xuan felt quite sorry.
The town is not far from Kaiyang City. Shi Xuan set off after breakfast and arrived at Kaiyang City before lunch time.
As an important thoroughfare for the five states, Kaiyang City is not much inferior to Yangzhou Prefecture and Chuzhou City. Especially after the New Year, many people from outside the city flock to the city. It is a rare leisure time in the year. Naturally,
You should enjoy yourself here.
In the team entering the city, Shi Xuan found a lot of monks, nuns, Taoists, beggars, and people in strange clothes. He just used the aura technique to see that they were basically swindlers. Shi Xuan was a little confused about this, after all, there were so many strange things at once.
There must be a reason for people to go to the city. It is impossible to make an appointment to go to the market together. However, the look of the soldiers guarding the city shows that they are accustomed to this.
Shi Xuan quietly asked the aunt in front of him who was wearing a new cotton coat: "Auntie, I want to ask you something, why are so many people from outside the city rushing to Kaiyang City?"
The aunt didn't want to answer Shi Xuan's questions at first, but after listening, she couldn't suppress her desire to speak: "You don't know, Qingqing. I thought you, little Taoist priest, had the same purpose as them. I'll tell you, Governor
I was seriously ill, and I consulted all the famous doctors nearby, but nothing improved. Even the imperial doctor from Luojing and the god Qiu Chixia were helpless. So after the New Year, I immediately went to all the villages and towns to invite strange people.
When the scholar comes to the house, if he can be cured, hey, hey, he will be greatly thanked!"
Only then did Shi Xuan understand the reason why so many strange people rushed to the city. If he could cure the governor's illness, let alone thank him, and get the gratitude of the governor in Fengzhou, it would be an invisible and huge sum.
Property, no wonder everyone wants to give it a try whether they have the ability or not.
After a second thought, Shi Xuan woke up. The governor was transferred from Liangzhou, and the Chixia Shenjun was also transferred from Liangzhou. It is difficult to say whether there is any connection between the two. It is better to take this opportunity and sneak in openly.
, as long as you see the governor and take a look at his anger, you can at least get some information. If you go in at night, there is no telling whether you can find the governor!
Because so many people are together, their own qi is mixed together. Qi-gazing techniques cannot separate their qi at all. Only when you walk in front of a person can you clearly see his qi, unless there is someone particularly powerful in the crowd.
Or strange qi can only be seen at a glance. Just like when looking for qi in a small town before, apart from the huge popularity in Kaiyang City, the only thing you can see is the divine light of the Chixia God.
When entering the city, the soldiers guarding the city did not question Shi Xuan. After all, there were too many Taoist priests entering the city in the past two days. After collecting the city entry tax of two copper coins, they waved Shi Xuan into the city.
When Shi Xuan entered the city, he hurriedly asked the group of monks in front of him: "Masters, I wonder what regulations are needed to apply for the governor's office?"
The leader, the fat-headed and big-eared monk, who was oily but kind-hearted, immediately frowned when he heard this: "Little Taoist Master, it's better not to wade into the muddy water. This matter of curing diseases and saving people still needs to be seen."
Really capable."
The little novice monk next to him took a step forward, with a delicate face and a bit of pride: "My abbot is famous for his medicine that can cure diseases. Even for catching ghosts and monsters, he is also famous. You, little Taoist, don't ask about the Great Buddha Temple."
Who is Zen Master Zhiguang? Don’t try to fish in troubled waters."
"Amitabha." Fat-headed and big-eared Zen Master Zhiguang whispered the Buddha's name, appearing calm on the surface.
Shi Xuan had no choice but to ask someone again. Unfortunately, these people were afraid of being robbed of their business. They wished that as few people would go as possible. How could I possibly tell you the news? It would be best to ask the aborigines in Kaiyang City. Comprehensive
It wasn’t until I got up that I learned the accurate news.
First go to the gate of the Governor's Mansion to register, and then go to the lobby of the Governor's Mansion to enjoy the banquet during dinner time. During the period, the Governor will go to the lobby to receive everyone's diagnosis and treatment. Then everyone will depend on their ability. Anyway, there were one or two hundred monks, nuns, lay doctors, etc. the day before.
None of them could alleviate the condition of the governor at all, so they were all beaten out with sticks. I just heard that because of the failure the day before, the governor planned to let these people show their skills first, and only those who have the ability will be allowed to see a doctor.
After all, so many people came one after another, and it was very difficult for the governor who was sick himself.
Shi Xuan asked the way to the gate of the governor's mansion. Because the governor lived in the mansion, there was a big square in front of the mansion. The place where there are a bunch of people around the square should be the registration place, but there are only twos and threes in the square.
Do those people sitting there want to wait until dinner?
When registering, the middle-aged wealthy butler was very indifferent to Shi Xuan, a young Taoist priest. After all, he didn't think Shi Xuan had the ability to cure the governor's illness. However, Shi Xuan gained a lot and was very optimistic.
It seems that even the housekeeper of the Governor's Mansion has some connection with the Chixia God, and the Governor himself may have even deeper connections.
After finding a small shop that looked pretty good, Shi Xuan prepared to have lunch. In the afternoon, he went to explore Chixia Shenjun Temple. While eating and drinking, he heard the waiter yelling loudly. When he turned around, he saw that
A little beggar, with a dark face, he couldn't tell how old he was, but judging from his small body, he was probably no more than ten years old.
The little beggar had nimble steps and was walking around inside and outside the store. The two waiters couldn't catch him. Shi Xuan let out a light sigh. This little beggar actually has a foundation in Qinggong. Could it be that he belongs to the Beggar Gang? But in this world
Is there a gang of beggars?
After knocking the waiter out, the little beggar rushed to the steamer, grabbed a white steamed bun and ran out. Unfortunately, the waiter also learned the lesson and blocked the door. The little beggar was in a dilemma.
The little beggar rolled his dark eyes, stretched out his hand, and said awkwardly in a clear voice: "How about I return the steamed buns to you?"
There were already dark fingerprints on the white steamed buns. When the waiter saw it, he immediately became furious and rolled up his sleeves: "Don't you think I'll take care of you, you poor beggar?"
Shi Xuan, who had been watching with cold eyes, somehow remembered the scene in The Condor where Guo Jing met Huang Rong for the first time. He was also a beggar, steamed buns, and black handprints. But now the little beggar was a little too small. He smiled and said to the waiter:
"I'll pay for it, don't embarrass this kid."
When the waiter saw someone giving him money, he stopped. This little beggar was so nimble. If he really wanted to deal with her, he would not make a fuss in the store.
The little beggar didn't seem to have expected this. A pair of big black and white eyes looked at Shi Xuan without blinking. Shi Xuan smiled gently at her and said: "Why don't you come over to eat? Look at me.
There is chicken and fish on the table.”
Gulu, the little beggar swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but his eyes were full of wariness: "Mom said, if the uncle with a fake smile invites you to dinner, you must not agree!"
Shi Xuan touched his face and smiled fakely. He just felt a little nostalgic after seeing this scene: "Then you can eat your steamed buns. I will eat them slowly." After saying that, he picked up the chopsticks and picked up each dish.
He ordered some to eat, and at the same time secretly cast a spell on the little beggar to calm his emotions.
Looking at Shi Xuan's actions, the little beggar's eyes flashed with a shrewd light. With the influence of the spell, his fear and alertness were greatly reduced. He cheered, put the steamed buns on the table, picked up his chopsticks and started to devour it.
Shi Xuan waved the waiter over, asked him to fetch a basin of water and take a handkerchief, and then said to the little beggar: "Wash your hands and face first. This dish will not escape."
"No, my mother said not to keep the food out of your eyes, otherwise problems will occur." He continued eating without raising his head.
Shi Xuan sweated slightly. His mother taught him well, but how could this little girl look for food outside by herself? But it was not convenient to ask this question directly, so he followed the little beggar's words and asked: "Uh, what could go wrong?
?”
The little beggar seemed to be stopped by the question. He poked his lips with his chopsticks, paused for a while, and then said: "Maybe you will spit in it to tease me! This is how people often tease senior brothers and sisters."
"Oh, what about your senior brother, senior sister, and mother? Why aren't they with you?" Shi Xuan was persuasive.
"I won't tell you!" The little beggar looked at Shi Xuan warily. After a while, he seemed to have thought of something, and said pitifully: "My mother asked you to come and take me back, right? I've always been good.
Be careful not to say your name."
When he first heard the rejection, Shi Xuan was still thinking about how to phrase it. Unexpectedly, the little girl did it on her own. She smiled and shook her head: "I don't even know you, and I don't know your mother either."
"Really?" The little beggar brought his little face closer. Seeing that Shi Xuan's expression was solemn and did not look like he was lying, he immediately felt relieved and happily continued to eat and drink. However, he picked up another piece of chicken with chopsticks and ate it, and froze.
He stayed there for a while, and then he started crying: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"””But what should I do if I want to go back?”
Shi Xuan felt that he couldn't keep up with the little girl's thoughts. His mood changed too quickly.
After the little beggar finished crying, Shi Xuan asked: "Where is your home? What is your name? How about I bring you a message or send you back directly?"
The little beggar raised his head, and the dirt on his face was washed away with two traces of tears, revealing his fair and jade-like skin. He replied with some doubts: "Mother is called mother. By the way, some people call her Holy Queen, and some call her Holy Queen."
Call her the Queen."
Shi Xuan was stunned and immediately asked: "Then what is your name?"
After crying, the little beggar continued to devour the food and answered vaguely: "My surname is Chu and my name is Wan'er."
