Astral Apostle Chapter 172: Take the river to Ningtian

The Ye family's merchant ship broke through the river and slowly sailed to the dock.

Zhou Jing stood at the bow of the boat, and the sailors of the ships in all directions followed the figure, shocked and surprised, whispering, and even some people directly threw themselves on the deck of their own ship, and bowed to Zhou Jing from a distance.

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

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

——It was so difficult for people to appear in front of the saints and cause a stir. He just wanted to show his face more, so that more people in the ferry could see his appearance clearly, so that the matter could spread throughout Ningtianfu.

Ye Shunzhong and others did not dare to go away, so they had to stay at the bow of the boat, and respectfully told the general situation of their own family, which were all things that everyone in Ning Tianfu knew.

Zhou Jing stared at the pier which was getting closer and closer. Hearing Ye Shunzhong's words on the side, he couldn't help but feel secretly in his heart.

A wealthy family I randomly selected turned out to be the top-ranked wealthy family in Ningtian Prefecture. I thought it was a small shrimp, but I didn't expect it to be a dragon spitting out a pearl, and I caught a big fish!

This kind of giant businessman is a very good springboard. It seems that it is easier to carry out the plan of marketing yourself by pretending to be a fool.

"Master Lingfengzi, I don't know where you practiced in Taoism before? What Taoism did you practice?"

Ye Shunzhong asked curiously, with a cautious attitude.

He wasn't sure how to call Zhou Jing, but he only called him "a master", or Zhou Jing took the initiative to ask him to call him Taoist priest.

Because Zhou Jing denied that he was an immortal, Ye Shunzhong and others regarded him as a strange person with immortal methods. Although he no longer worshipped him like he had mistakenly thought he was an immortal, he still respected him.

Only about Zhou Jing's identity and origin, everyone was still curious, so Ye Shunzhong cautiously probed.

Zhou Jing didn't look back, and said in a casual tone:

"The Tao is not in the view, but between the mountains and the wild. The poor Tao never cultivates other people's Tao, and I don't need to admit it. I only cultivate myself. If I have the Tao in my heart, I don't need to look for another way, and I don't need to use it under the guise. Foreign objects, supernatural powers are self-generated.”

Ye Shunzhong and the others were stunned for a moment, and they didn't realize it.

As a rich man in one place, Ye Shunzhong is not unfamiliar with other Taoist priests. He has some understanding of various Taoist sects 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 powerful that 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 didn't know the Taoist classics in this world. If someone "cracked down", he wouldn't be able to answer.

It's better to come up with a "self-contained" method, so that others can't start - anyway, our magic is not adulterated, you believe it or not.

It's playing tricks!

"The Taoist master is indeed a master of Taoism, and he speaks in a small way. He has always believed in Taoism. After listening to the Taoist master's words, I have a great understanding..."

Ye Shunzhong quickly flattered.

Zhou Jing let out a soft umm, held his expression tight, and asked in a calm manner:

"Jushi Ye, a poor Taoist who has lived in the mountains for a long time, devoted himself to cultivation, and hasn't set foot in the world for many years. Now he came back to this Ningtian Mansion. I don't know what the rules are in this mortal world?"

Ye Shunzhong was flattered, and hurriedly ordered some rules and regulations in Ningtian Mansion, such as household registration certificate, road test certificate, etc.

At this time, he saw Zhou Jing frown slightly, so he quickly said:

"Don't worry about the Taoist priest. Since I have promised the Taoist leader, my Ye family will handle this trivial matter for the Taoist leader."

Only then did Zhou Jing stretch his brows, show a slight smile, and nodded.

He paused for a while, then asked again: "Pindao came here to search for heaven's secrets. 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, then interjected:

"There was a strange thing not long ago, but it happened in the area of ​​Luhe River. According to more than a month ago, there was a thief named Chen Feng in Jingzhou of Luhe River who made a scene in the prefecture. Hundreds of people, slaughtered sages, seriously injured the prefect, committed a serious crime and escaped from the Anlin mansion, where they disappeared... The government's sea arrest documents were distributed all over the surrounding provinces, and even my Ningtian mansion posted a wanted notice."

"What happened?"

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 are known to more people.

Ye Shunzhong's expression changed, and he immediately scolded his son: "How dare you take out the pickled things done by such green forest thieves? It's plain and dirty!"

Ye Yingguang quickly admitted his mistake.

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

Hearing this, Ye Yingguang first glanced at his father before explaining:

"The official government list this thief Chen Feng coveted the wealth of the local sages, so he tried to make money and killed his life. When he was fleeing in the city, he happened to bump into the Anlin prefect. Blocked, provoked a madman, and was injured..."

Ye Shunzhong echoed in a deep voice: "These madmen are lawless, they should have been captured by the government soon and beheaded to the public."

Zhou Jing was noncommittal and had no words.

Chen Feng's specific motive for committing the crime, the government will naturally not tell the truth to the people, and he has hurt the court officials, let alone expect the government to have any good words, the reputation outside the green forest is definitely not good, he already has a mentality Prepare.

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

While the group chatted, the Ye family merchant ship finally docked at the dock.

The pier was crowded with people, craned their necks to look at Zhou Jing excitedly, and all came to join in the fun to see the fairy face.

Zhou Jing, Ye Shunzhong and others disembarked, and the crowd just let go, not daring to stop in front of Zhou Jing.

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

People who didn't see this scene couldn't help but be skeptical after hearing the swear words of the witnesses.

The news spread like wildfire, but in just half a day, the matter spread to half of Ningtian Prefecture, and more and more people knew about the deeds of "Gods stepped on the river and entered Ningtian", which quickly became a hot topic sweeping the streets and alleys. The people in the city were stunned, and people were talking about it.

……

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

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

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

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

"Brother, will this trip go smoothly?"

"Can you please go back to a famous doctor?"

Several other homeowners started asking questions, seeming anxious.

Ye Shunzhong's face became solemn, and he stretched out his hand to attract Zhang Jinduan next to him, and said solemnly: "This time I invited Doctor Zhang back, and the old lady's strange disease will definitely be cured."

Everyone immediately looked happy and hurried up to pay a courtesy call. Cereals

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

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

Although he is quite prestigious in the medical way, under the environment of the Xia Dynasty, the position of the Langzhong is neither high nor low. Even a famous doctor is nothing in front of the rich and wealthy, and he naturally dare not neglect.

Zhou Jing couldn't help but glance at the man.

When he was on the boat, he didn't communicate much with Zhang Jinduan. At this time, he realized that this man seemed to be a well-known famous doctor.

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

"I wonder who this Xiongtai is?"

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

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

Senior? How tall is it?

I didn't see how much my eldest brother respected Buddhism before, why did he change his temper today? I don't know what skills this grotesque Taoist has to make the elder brother respect him so much.

The relatives of the Ye family were surprised in their hearts, but when they were not good at interrogating people, they suppressed their inner confusion and went up to say hello with courtesy.

Zhou Jing deliberately took a stance and said lightly: "I'm disturbing you, but if there is no important thing on weekdays, don't easily disturb the poor road."

Hearing this, everyone felt a little unhappy at once. They only felt that this person was pretending to let him stay at home, and he didn't know what to do.

Ye Shunzhong didn't think there was anything, so he respectfully complied, and ordered the servants to prepare the best wing room. Seeing that the Ye family's rooms were even more puzzled, he didn't know why he gave face to this man.

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

"I heard what you said just now. It seems that someone in the family is sick?"

Ye Shunzhong quickly replied: "I didn't tell the Taoist priest before that my grandfather 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 to come back in person."

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

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

After all, he is not a real doctor. Although he is highly skilled in pharmacy and herbal medicine and can make medicines that save lives, the diagnosis and treatment of intractable diseases is a medical field, and he has not yet mastered this skill.

This time, I used Bill to shuttle in. I planned to learn medical skills, otherwise, it would be too partial to be able to do medicine and not medical treatment.

Zhou Jing thought about all kinds of thoughts in his heart, but he didn't show any emotion on the surface, and nodded:

"Then I'll go to rest first, so as not to disturb your grandfather's treatment."

Ye Shunzhong hurriedly said yes, turned his head and instructed the steward to lead Zhou Jing to the wing.

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

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

Ye Shunzhong said sternly: "You don't know, this person has magical powers, and his methods are unbelievable..."

He was about to witness the deeds of Zhou Jing stepping on the river and tell everyone.

After hearing this, the Ye family's rooms looked at each other with suspicion in their eyes. The first reaction was disbelief.

Walking on the river... It sounds like a fantasy, how can there be such a means in the world, I'm afraid I haven't run into a liar?

Someone couldn't help but laugh:

"Big brother, you are so smart and confused for a while, you must have been deceived..."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Shunzhong straightened his face and shouted:

"Don't be rude! Daoist Lingfengzi is a real master of Taoism, don't mention this again!"

Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to put out the persuasion, secretly laughing at Ye Shunzhong for being deceived.

Ye Shunzhong didn't want to dwell on this topic, and immediately invited Zhang Jinduan to go to the old lady for diagnosis and treatment, and went to the old lady's yard with a group of uncles.

Only the nephews of the houses remained here, looked at each other, and then focused their eyes on one of the young men in strong suits with a long sword on their backs, coaxed:

"Brother Heng, what do you think of this Master Lingfeng?"

The well-dressed young man who was questioned by the crowd was called Ye Heng. He was a junior of the second room of the Ye family. He was an alternative at home. Giving the elders a headache.

However, I didn't expect that Ye Heng had good roots and was really a martial arts material. Later, he was taken in by the passing Jianghu masters and accepted as his apprentice.

This Jianghu master is an elder of the famous "Wushan School" in the Jiangchun area. Ye Heng also joined the "Wushan School" by fate and became an inner disciple. High strength.

After finishing his martial arts skills, he went down the mountain and returned to Ningtian House, where he sat in the branch of the sect, but usually lived in the Ye family mansion. Because of his extraordinary skills and knowledge of the rivers and lakes, he was quite popular among the younger generation.

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

"This Daoist Lao Shizi is probably a liar. Even if I am the head of the Wushan faction, the Yunshi Qinggong can only fly across the water with quick steps, at most four or five feet away on the water, and it is impossible to walk slowly on the river surface. Although I don't know how Lingfengzi did it, it must be a juggling of the rivers and lakes. It's like a fishy job like scouring oil for copper coins and sticking a spear to the throat. Hmph, I didn't expect someone to swindle and deceive my Ye family! "

Everyone nodded again and again, agreeing that they didn't believe Zhou Jing's deeds at all.

"This person comes to eat and drink, and he has a high 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've already calculated, when I find an opportunity to stab him in person, play tricks on him, and make him lose face, he will naturally slip away...hey, then I'll see what I can do. ."

……

On the other side, Ye Mansion's backyard mansion.

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

The old lady Ye was lying on the bed, her consciousness was blurred, her breath was like a gossamer, her face was blue and black.

A few months ago, he was a chubby, wealthy old man, but now he's skinny and out of shape. Almost all of his hair fell out, leaving only a lock of white hair sparsely drooping on his head, turning into a leprosy head, looking quite miserable.

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

After a long time, Zhang Jinduan released his finger, took out the silver needle again, and stabbed a few needles into the old lady's acupuncture point~IndoMTL.com~ saw the reaction, and then pondered.

Seeing this, Ye Shunzhong hurried over and asked in a low voice, "Doctor Zhang, can you find out what's wrong with my grandfather?"

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

"It's strange, his pulse is weak and weak, his qi and blood are depleted, but he can't find the lesions. It seems that he is naturally aging, and he is about to end his life... I have been practicing medicine for many years, and this is the first time I have encountered it, Brother Ye, you Is my grandfather really sick a few months ago? Was there any sign at that time?"

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

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

Having said that, everyone in the room could tell he had no confidence,

The rooms of the Ye family next to each other show frustration on the surface, but in private, their eyes meet, but there is a hidden joy.
