Xuanxia

Chapter 594 The only way
"I'm sorry, you two, I can't do this."

In the small house, Liang Guangchang held a bowl of porridge and sighed helplessly.

This bowl of porridge was Fu Qingzhou’s “dinner” today, the rice porridge given to him by Monk Ernan.

No one knew where these monks got so much food. People only knew that a team of horse-drawn carriages came from afar and delivered buckets of raw rice, which was the rice that the monks used to cook porridge.

"Don't even mention porridge."

Liang Guangchang shook his head and said, "Even if it's a bowl of boiled medicine soup or ground medicine powder, it's hard to completely restore the prescription... Maybe I can tell which herbs are used by the taste, but it's very difficult to grasp the dosage."

"What's more, there were only a few drops of medicine mixed into those large pots of rice porridge. I... can't really tell the difference."

After hearing his words, Fu Qingzhou and Ning Wushu looked at each other helplessly.

"In this era, there is really no way to do accurate testing."

Fu Qingzhou sighed inwardly and said, "Then we only have one solution left."

"Maybe I can help with this matter."

Liang Guangchang said slowly: "You two are pretending to be patients, just like the other patients. It is not easy to get close to the Evil Monk... But I am a doctor after all, so I have more reasons to get close to him, such as..."

He narrowed his eyes and said, "Now, I am going to ask him how he cures diseases and saves lives."

The moon is rising high in the sky, and the night wind is chilly.

A few minutes later, Liang Guangchang, wearing a cotton-padded jacket, with his two apprentices following him and a few patients behind him, walked into the refugee camp.

The refugees gathered in groups of three or four around a small fire or fell asleep in simple tents. Their faces and bodies were covered with dirt and stones. Each of them had an expression of severe pain, fatigue and suffering from the long journey.

But at the moment, at least one-third, or more, of the refugees were holding the "Book of a Hundred Disasters" in their hands, reading it carefully in the moonlight and firelight.

Of course, there were not so many refugees who could read and write. In many cases, there were only a few refugees who could read and write who took the lead in reciting, and the others followed behind, reading word by word.

Fu Qingzhou and Ning Wushu were naturally among the patients following Liang Guangchang.

They didn't talk, just followed silently.

Liang Guangchang had a clear goal and headed straight for the deepest part of the camp - the several exceptionally clean large tents there were set up by the monks themselves.

"Donor, please stop."

When they arrived outside the tent, a tall monk who was guarding outside the tent stretched out his hand to stop them: "Brother Fatuo is preparing for tomorrow's ritual and is not seeing guests for the time being."

Fado was the Buddhist name of the middle-aged monk in trouble.

"I am Liang Guangchang."

Liang Guangchang took a deep breath and bowed, saying, "I am the one known as Divine Doctor Liang...Now, all the patients within a hundred miles of Anyue City are treated by me and other doctors. Master Fado...you are using medicine to save people. I admire you very much and would like to ask you how to cure the epidemic."

The monk frowned when he heard this.

But before he could speak, Liang Guangchang continued, "Alas... This epidemic is coming with great force. I have spent more than a month treating it, but I can only make the dirty stone fall off, and I can't cure it. If Master Fatuo's magic medicine is really effective, it will be a great merit for the people and the patients!"

He looked at the monk, his old and tired eyes full of hope: "There are not many of you. It must be difficult to save so many people. Although my ability is not high, I am willing to sacrifice my life at any time to curb the epidemic!"

As he spoke, he even took a step forward and fiercely grasped the tall monk's hand: "You are good people, you are here to do good things, I also want to help! If we can help, all of our nine clinics and twenty-six medicine shops in Anyue City will do their best!"

When Liang Guangchang "took action", the monk was startled at first, and clearly wanted to dodge, but in the end he let him hold his hand.

There is nothing else to say, because this Divine Doctor Liang... although he is old and very tired at this moment, his voice is really loud!

Besides, this refugee camp was actually quite crowded. From the moment Liang Guangchang said the first sentence, many refugees around him put down the scriptures in their hands and looked over.

When the refugees heard him say that he wanted to seek advice from Master Fado and that he could mobilize the entire Anyue City's "medical resources" to treat illnesses, their eyes lit up.

"Master, can you please let Dr. Liang in?"

One refugee cautiously advised: "He is doing this for the good of everyone."

Fu Qingzhou and Ning Wushu looked at each other, with smiles in the corners of their eyes.

This Doctor Liang not only has excellent acting skills, but he is also a master at using moral blackmail!

Yes, you, the monk Ernan, said that you could cure diseases and save lives, and you did show your skills well. But you also said today that the nectar in the pure bottle is not enough, and it will take seven days and seven nights to heal the people here.

It was so cold, and these refugees had traveled a long distance. Many of them were already very ill when they were driven out of Panyang City. Could they really survive seven days?

If there are other doctors or physicians willing to help, can the seven days be shortened to six days? Five days?
The sick refugees are very realistic.

We will believe in you, the monk who has the ability to cure diseases and save lives. We can even learn how to read the Hundred Evils Sutra late at night.

But at the same time, if someone is willing to save us, you can't stop them! And you look at Dr. Liang, how humble and sincere he is! He is old, but in order to save people, he came to ask for advice in the middle of the night, and even said that he was willing to sacrifice his life...

For a moment, many refugees stood up around.

Although not many people spoke up to persuade, they all looked at the tall monk guarding the gate, and their eyes expressed their inclinations.

"Junior brother, is there some noise outside?"

Just then, Fatuo's gentle inquiring voice came from the tent.

Fu Qingzhou smiled. This man had at least the sixth realm of cultivation. How could he not know what was happening outside with only a thin tent between them? He was just asking even though he knew the answer.

But when he asked this question, the surroundings immediately became quiet, and the tall monk also breathed a sigh of relief.

He clasped his hands together and bowed slightly to Liang Guangchang: "Donor, please wait a moment."

After saying that, he turned around and went back into the tent.

Liang Guangchang also clearly breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his head and secretly glanced at Fu Qingzhou and the others, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Soon, the tall monk came out of the tent again, bowed to Liang Guangchang and said, "Donor Liang, please come in...but they..."

He glanced at Liang Guangchang's two apprentices and several patients and said, "They can't."

Liang Guangchang sighed: "I know this is a bit presumptuous, but... I am old after all, and I am afraid that I can't remember many things. I still need my apprentice to help me remember them."

"Also, I have never seen this disease before. Today, I brought a few patients with typical symptoms and I would like to ask Master Fatuo for advice."

"Master, please inform me that I...want to take them with me."

A look of helplessness appeared on the tall monk's face.

Liang Guangchang's words were flawless and sincere. The monk didn't need to think to know that Brother Fado would definitely agree in the end.

"In that case..."

He shook his head and said, "Come in, but remember, don't look around or touch anything. Those are things that can be used to save lives. If they are damaged and it affects the rescue, it will be bad."
