Astral Apostle Chapter 172: Treading the river into Ningtian

The Ye family's merchant ship broke through the river and slowly sailed towards the pier.

Zhou Jing stood at the bow of the ship, and the sailors of the ships followed this figure in all directions, shocked and astonished, whispering, and some even fell down on the deck of their own ship, paying homage to Zhou Jing from afar.

Most boatmen and sailors are superstitious, and they often worship gods such as "River God" and "Dragon King" to bless the journey with peace and tranquility. awe.

Originally, Ye Shunzhong planned to invite Zhou Jing into the cabin to talk and serve good tea, but Zhou Jing didn't want to, he just wanted to stand in the most conspicuous position on the bow.

——It was hard for people to show their holiness in front of them and cause commotion. He just wanted to show his face more, so that more people at the ferry could see his appearance clearly, so that this matter could spread throughout Ningtian Mansion.

Ye Shunzhong and the others didn't dare to leave, so they could only accompany the bow of the boat, telling the general situation of their own family respectfully, and it was something that everyone in Ning Tianfu knew.

Zhou Jing stared at the pier that was getting closer and closer, and listening to Ye Shunzhong's words, he couldn't help but secretly move.

A wealthy family randomly selected turned out to be the top rich family in Ning Tianfu. I thought it was a small shrimp, but I didn't expect it to be a dragon spit a pearl and caught a big fish!

Such a giant businessman is a very good springboard. It seems that it is easier to implement the plan of pretending to be a ghost to market oneself.

"Master Lingfengzi, I don't know which Taoist temple you practiced before? What school of Taoism did you practice?"

Ye Shunzhong asked curiously, with a cautious attitude.

He was not sure how to address Zhou Jing, and only called him "a master", but Zhou Jing took the initiative to let him call himself Daoist.

Because Zhou Jing denied that he was a god, Ye Shunzhong and others regarded him as a strange man with the skills of the fairy family. Although he no longer worshiped him as a god, he still respected him.

But regarding Zhou Jing's identity and origin, everyone was still scratching their heads with curiosity, so Ye Shunzhong cautiously probed.

Zhou Jing said casually without turning his head:

"The Tao is not in the view, but in the mountains and fields. The poor Taoist never cultivates other people's Tao, and does not need to be recognized by any sect. I only practice myself. If you have the Tao in your heart, you don't need to find it elsewhere, and you don't need to borrow it. Foreign things, supernatural powers are self-generated."

Ye Shunzhong and the others were stunned for a moment, not knowing what was going on.

As a rich man in one place, it is not that Ye Shunzhong has never had contact with other Taoist priests, and he has some knowledge of various Taoist schools and Taoist classics, but this is the first time he has heard of this method.

There is an inexplicable feeling of "I was born so good, I don't need to study at all".

But Ye Shunzhong couldn't question it - this person even has supernatural powers, and everything is right.

Zhou Jing did this on purpose, because he really doesn't understand the Taoist classics in this world, and if someone "cracks down on fakes", he can't answer them.

It's better to come up with a set of "self-contained" methods, so that others can't start - anyway, our spells are not adulterated, you can believe it or not.

The trick is to play tricks!

"The Taoist priest is really a master of Taoism, he speaks a little bit of righteousness, and I have always believed in Taoism. After listening to the Taoist priest's words, I have a great understanding..."

Ye Shunzhong quickly flattered him.

Zhou Jing hummed indifferently, tensed his expression, and asked in a calm manner:

"Ye Jushi, a poor man who has lived in the mountains for a long time, devoted himself to cultivation, and has not set foot in the world of mortals for many years. Now that he has come to Ningtian Mansion, I wonder what the rules are in this mundane world?"

Ye Shunzhong was flattered, and hurriedly read some rules and laws in Ningtian Mansion, such as household registration certificate, road inspection certificate and so on.

At this time, he saw Zhou Jing frowning slightly, so he hurriedly said:

"Don't worry, the Taoist priest, I have already promised the Taoist priest, I, the Ye family, will take care of this trivial matter for the Taoist priest."

Zhou Jing stretched his brows, smiled slightly, and nodded.

He paused, and then asked again: "The poor Taoist came here to search for a secret. I wonder if there are any rumors worth paying attention to these days?"

Hearing this, Ye Shunzhong thought for a while and picked up a few things.

Zhou Jing listened silently, nodding from time to time.

At this time, Ye Yingguang hesitated for a while, and interjected:

"Not long ago, there was a strange incident, but it happened in the Luhe area. It is said that more than a month ago, there was a thief named Chen Feng in Luhe Jingzhou who made a big disturbance in the state capital. Hundreds of people massacred gentry, seriously injured the magistrate, and escaped from Anlin Mansion after committing a felony, without a trace... The government's sea arrest documents were distributed all over the surrounding provinces, and even my Ning Tian Mansion posted a wanted notice."

"There is such a thing?"

Zhou Jing's eyes moved, pretending to be surprised.

It turns out that more than a month has passed... Chen Feng's deeds have also spread to the surrounding provinces and become known to more people.

However, Ye Shunzhong's face changed, and he immediately scolded his son: "How dare you bring out the dirty things done by the green forest thieves? It's just a filthy ear!"

Ye Yingguang quickly admitted his mistake.

Zhou Jing waved his hand, and asked knowingly: "It's okay, this matter is also novel, I don't know why this thief did it?"

Hearing this, Ye Yingguang took a look at his father before explaining:

"In the official announcement, this Chen Feng thief coveted the wealth of the local gentry, so he murdered him. While fleeing in the city, he happened to bump into the prefect of Anlin. The prefect of Anlin was awe-inspiring. He scolded the madman in the street, intending to step forward Blocking, provoking madness, and being injured..."

Ye Shunzhong echoed in a deep voice: "This kind of madman is lawless. He should be captured by the government as soon as possible and beheaded for public display."

Zhou Jing was noncommittal and had nothing to say.

The specific motives of Chen Feng's crimes, the government will naturally not tell the people the truth, and he has hurt the court officials, let alone expect anything good from the government, the reputation outside the green forest will definitely not be good, he already has a mentality Prepare.

It seems that there are still fewer kills... Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows.

While a group of people were chatting, the Ye family merchant ship finally docked at the pier.

The pier was full of people, stretching their necks excitedly to look at Zhou Jing, and they all came to join in the fun and want to see the beauty.

Zhou Jing, Ye Shunzhong and others disembarked, and the crowd got out of the way, not daring to stop Zhou Jing.

When a group of people entered the city, the people who were watching at the pier dispersed in a hurry, and went back to the city to tell each other, word of mouth.

The people who did not see this scene could not help but be skeptical when they heard the swear words of the witnesses.

The news spread like wildfire, but in just half a day, the matter spread to half of Ningtian Mansion. More and more people knew about the deeds of "the **** and man stepped into Ningtian", and it quickly became a hot topic sweeping the streets and alleys. The people in the city were stunned and people talked about it.

…

A group of people entered Ningtian Mansion from Ximendu, took a small sedan chair, and were carried all the way back to Ye's house.

The Ye family's mansion is located in the north of the city. It is a tall mansion with two stone lions lying in front of the gate.

When they arrived at the place, a group of people got off the sedan chair, and a servant opened the door to welcome everyone in.

As soon as everyone entered the door, many people immediately came up to greet them, but it was the masters and nephews from other rooms of the Ye family who were waiting here early.

"Brother, is this trip going well?"

"Can you please return to the famous doctor?"

The other house owners asked questions one after another, as if they were in a hurry.

Ye Shunzhong's face turned serious, he stretched out his hand to attract Zhang Jinduan beside him, and said seriously: "This time, I have invited Doctor Zhang back, and I will definitely be able to cure the old lady's strange disease."

Everyone showed joy immediately, and hurried up to pay respects politely. Grain

"This is the famous Xinglin doctor, Zhang Jinduan who is known as the 'Second Hand'? Well, the old man is saved now!"

"You don't need to be too polite, you are too old." Zhang Jinduan hurriedly returned the salute.

Although he is quite prestigious in medicine, under the environment of the Great Xia Dynasty, the status of a doctor is neither high nor low. Even a famous doctor is nothing in front of the rich and powerful, so he dare not neglect.

Zhou Jing couldn't help but glance at this person.

When he was on the boat, he didn't communicate too much with Zhang Jinduan, but now he realized that this person seemed to be a well-known doctor.

At this moment, the relatives of the Ye family noticed the strange looking Zhou Jing next to him. Seeing that Ye Shunzhong seemed to respect this person quite a lot, they couldn't help asking curiously.

"I don't know who this brother is?"

Hearing this, Ye Shunzhong's face changed, and he shouted: "Don't be rude! This is Lingfengzi Daoist, but an expert. Come to my Ye family to stay temporarily. You must respect him. Make a mistake."

The relatives of the Ye family were stunned for a while, puzzled and puzzled.

An expert? How tall?

I didn't see how much my elder brother admired Buddhism before, why did I change my temper today? I don't know what kind of ability this weird-looking Taoist has, so that the elder brother respects him so much.

The relatives of the Ye family were surprised, but it was not easy to interrogate them in person, so they suppressed their inner confusion and went up to say hello with courtesy.

Zhou Jing made a gesture deliberately, and said indifferently: "I'm bothering you all, but if you have nothing important to do on weekdays, don't disturb the poor."

Hearing this, everyone felt a little displeased, they only felt that this person was putting on airs and asked him to stay at home, and he was so ignorant of good and evil.

Ye Shunzhong didn't think there was anything wrong, he complied respectfully, and ordered the servants to prepare the best wing room, seeing all the rooms in the Ye family was even more puzzled, I don't know why he gave this man so much face.

At this time, Zhou Jing turned to look at Ye Shunzhong and asked:

"Just now I heard what you said, it seems that someone in the family is sick?"

Ye Shunzhong hurriedly replied: "I never told the Taoist priest before that my grandpa contracted a strange disease a few months ago, and no one in the city could cure it, so I went out and invited Doctor Zhang back."

Zhou Jing nodded, kept it in his heart, thought about it for a while, and didn't plan to intervene in this matter for the time being.

Since others have hired a famous doctor, you should not rush to intervene. If you can't handle it, it will be embarrassing.

After all, he is not a real doctor. Although he is highly skilled in medicine and herbal medicine, he can make life-saving medicines, but the diagnosis and treatment of difficult and miscellaneous diseases is a medical skill, and he has not yet mastered this skill.

Using Bill to shuttle in this time, I originally planned to learn medical skills, otherwise it would be too partial if I only know how to make medicine but not medical treatment.

Zhou Jing had various thoughts in his mind, but without showing any emotion on the surface, he nodded and said:

"Then I'll go to rest first, so I won't disturb your grandpa's medical treatment."

Ye Shunzhong hurriedly said yes, turned around and ordered the steward to lead Zhou Jing to the wing room, and also specially instructed not to neglect, if the Taoist priest had any requests, he would meet them.

When Zhou Jing's back disappeared from sight, a member of the Ye family couldn't help being curious and asked:

"Brother, why are you so respectful to that Taoist?"

Ye Shunzhong said sternly: "You don't know, this man has supernatural powers, and his methods are unimaginable..."

He was about to witness Zhou Jing's deeds coming across the river and tell everyone.

After listening, all the members of the Ye family looked at each other in blank dismay, their eyes full of suspicion, and their first reaction was disbelief.

Walking across the river... It sounds like a fantasy, how can there be such a means in the world, maybe you have bumped into a charlatan?

Someone couldn't help laughing:

"Brother, you were clever and confused for a while, you must have been deceived..."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Shunzhong immediately put on a straight face and shouted:

"Shut up! Daoist Lingfengzi is a true Taoist, don't mention this again!"

Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to put down their words of persuasion, secretly laughing at Ye Shunzhong for being deceived.

Ye Shunzhong didn't want to get entangled in this topic, so he immediately invited Zhang Jinduan to treat the old man, and took a group of uncles to the old man's yard.

Only the nephews and nephews of each house still stayed here, looked at each other, and then focused their eyes on one of the youths who was wearing a long sword and booed:

"Brother Heng, what do you think of this Daoist Lingfengzi?"

The well-dressed young man who was questioned by everyone is called Ye Heng. He is a descendant of the second householder of the Ye family. Let the elders in the family have a headache.

But I didn't expect that this Ye Heng had a good bone structure, he was really good at practicing martial arts, and later he was spotted by a passing Jianghu master and accepted as his apprentice.

This master of rivers and lakes is the elder of the famous "Wushan School" in the Jiangchun area. Ye Heng also joined the "Wushan School" by chance and became an inner disciple. He was taught swordsmanship and martial arts. high strength.

After a small achievement in martial arts, he went down the mountain and returned to Ningtian Mansion, where he was in charge of the branch of the sect, but usually lived in the Ye family's mansion, because of his extraordinary skills and knowledge of the world, he was quite popular among the younger generation.

Ye Heng heard the other cousins' questions, his eyes flashed, and he snorted coldly:

"This Daoist Lao Shizi is probably a charlatan. Even if I am the head of the Wushan School, I can only fly across the water with light kung fu, and at most run four or five feet on the water. It is impossible to walk slowly on the river. Although I don't know how this Lingfengzi did it, but it must be a trick of the rivers and lakes, like fishing for copper coins with boiling oil, and sticking a spear to the throat. Hmph, I didn't expect someone to bluff and deceive my Ye family!"

Everyone nodded repeatedly, deeply agreeing, they didn't believe Zhou Jing's deeds at all.

"This person comes to the door to eat and drink, and he has a superior attitude, which is annoying. He really treats us as fools... Brother Heng, we have to expose this liar!"

Ye Heng nodded, then smiled confidently, and said:

"I already care about it, and when I find a chance to expose his deceit in person, play tricks on him, and make him lose face, he will naturally walk away... Hey, it will be up to me when the time comes .”

…

On the other side, the mansion in the backyard of Ye Mansion.

Ye Shunzhong and other uncles and uncles gathered in the old grandpa's house to watch Zhang Jinduan diagnose and treat the old grandpa.

Lao Taigong Ye was lying on the bed, his consciousness was blurred, his breath was like a thread, his appearance was haggard, and his face was blue and black.

A few months ago, he was a chubby and rich old man, but now he is skinny and almost out of shape. Almost all her hair had fallen out, except for wispy strands of white hair hanging down on her head, which turned into a mangy head, which looked quite miserable.

Sitting in front of the bed, Zhang Jinduan felt the pulse of Mrs. Ye, frowning more and more.

After a long time, Zhang Jinduan let go of his fingers, took out the silver needle, and stuck a few needles into the old man's acupuncture point, watching the reaction, and then fell silent.

Seeing this~IndoMTL.com~Ye Shunzhong hurried up and asked in a low voice: "Doctor Zhang, can you find out what's wrong with my grandfather?"

Zhang Jinduan stroked his beard with a puzzled expression, and said:

"It's weird, his pulse condition is weak, his qi and blood are fading, but he can't find the lesion. It seems that he is aging naturally and is about to die... I have been practicing medicine for many years, but this is the first time I have encountered it. Brother Ye, you My grandpa really got sick a few months ago? What were the symptoms at that time?"

"Naturally there is no fake, there is no sign of the onset, and it just happened suddenly." Ye Shunzhong was quite anxious, and asked: "I wonder if Doctor Zhang can cure this disease?"

Zhang Jinduan stroked his beard and smiled wryly: "Let's give it a try."

That being said, everyone in the room can tell that he has no confidence,

Every room of the Ye family next to them showed dejection on the surface, but they met their eyes in private, but hidden joy.
