If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 129 Studying Medicine Can’t Save You (Subscription Request)

"What, Hongqi ran away?!"

Aunt Liu would have nearly jumped out of her bed if she were in good health.

She just straightened her body excitedly, and just as she raised her neck, she felt a sharp pain in her chest, her face turned pale and her forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"Your internal organs are injured, don't get angry!"

Xiao Yu sat at the head of the bed, holding her shoulders, wiping the sweat off her forehead, and said slowly, "Hong Ju was taken away by an immortal named 'Nanhai Shen Ni'.

Aunt, have you heard of the Goddess of the South China Sea?

She wore a monk's robe, but she was more charming and beautiful than the girl from Hongxiufang, and there was not much mercy of the Bodhisattva between her brows. "

Last night I praised the compassionate Bodhisattva because I wanted to curry favor with him.

Even if he couldn't get close to Shen Ni, he still started the "Great Destruction of Dad".

Now Shen Ni is long gone, and she left in a clean and neat manner. Da Mie Ba also started calling out "Shenn Ni's mother". Xiao Yu naturally doesn't need to pretend anymore and can directly express his true feelings.

"The Divine Nun of the South Sea." Aunt Liu shook her head slightly and said, "I have never heard of this person among the Western immortals."

"She is not a human immortal, but a real immortal. Hongqiu knows her. It is said that when Hongqiu was just born, the nun found the Prime Minister's Mansion of Lu State and wanted to take her away, but was rejected by Dou Yilin." Xiaoyu said.

Aunt Liu lay on the bed and said helplessly: "I can't handle this matter. I have to go find Li Changli."

She tilted her head to look at Xiaoyu, her eyes scrutinizing her, "Why are you telling me what happened last night now?"

Xiao Yu said calmly: "If you were there and witnessed the boundless power of the nun, you would probably think it would be okay to wait three to five years, let alone one night.

Because in front of an immortal like the South Sea Goddess, it’s meaningless to say anything at any time! "

She didn't think she needed to report to anyone, nor did she think Aunt Liu needed to go find Li Changli.

Someone in Hongxiufang has been secretly watching Xiao Jingxuan.

They didn't jump out to stop it last night, so why are she and Aunt Liu so anxious now?
Aunt Liu thought for a moment and said, "You are lucky."

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Indeed, it is not bad. The people who came here are not from the 'Eight Immortals of the West'."

After a pause, she continued, "The timing of the South Sea Divine Nun's visit was too coincidental. I suspect she has long been eyeing Xiao Jingxuan.

The "looking for the sword of fate" is just an excuse.

The reason why he didn't take Hongqiu away immediately was probably because he was hoping that the Eight Immortals from the West would take responsibility for the consequences.

After the Eight Immortals of the West bring Hongqiu out of Hongxiufang and out of Shu Kingdom, she will come out to accept disciples.

In the end, I killed all of the 'Ten Great Immortals of Xilu', hahaha."

Xiaoyu actually guessed it right. This was indeed what the South China Sea Goddess had planned at first.

However, Xiaoyu only guessed part of the reason.

The most direct reason is the "Golden Book of Tai Chi with Jade Pendant and Gold Ornaments".

Previously, Hongqiu had a firm resolve to pursue the path of immortality and destiny, and was determined not to practice immortal martial arts secrets and damage her own foundation.

But she was just a little girl after all. After her hope, the Eight Immortals of the West, were destroyed by Xiaoyu using the List of Gods, her determination began to waver.

After Xiaoyu taught her the Golden Book of Tai Chi, Hongqiu wanted to practice it immediately.

The goddess of the South China Sea suddenly had an idea and realized something was wrong, so she immediately came over and pulled her back from the "entrance to the evil path".

"How do you know she is afraid of bearing the consequences? Do you know what cause and effect are?" Aunt Liu looked doubtful.

"I'm lucky, it wasn't the Eight Immortals from the West who came to look for Hongqiu. I'm also unlucky, because I knelt down and kowtowed to the evil nun last night, but she was cold and heartless, ignored me, and said that I had too much karma on my body." Xiaoyu's words were filled with obvious resentment.

Aunt Liu smiled, "You also want to worship the South Sea Divine Nun as your master and escape from Hongxiufang with Hongqiu?"

"If it were you, what would you do?" Xiaoyu asked back.

Aunt Liu immediately said, “Not only will I kowtow, I will also hold her legs and cry and beg her as much as I can.

If she didn't agree, she would even threaten to die.

In short, no matter what, you must not miss the opportunity to meet the immortal again in this lifetime.

You are still too reserved, too restrained, and still don’t know the difficulties of the adult world. You haven’t let reality crush all your self-esteem and pride.”

Xiaoyu was speechless.

Aunt Liu sighed with envy, "Hongqiu is so lucky! We are both fallen into the dust, and we can only struggle in the mud, but she not only escaped from the sea of ​​suffering, but also met the immortal fate.

Next time we meet, she will be the immortal who can enter and exit the blue sky!
Of course, if she really became an immortal, she would be in contact with immortals, and they would definitely not even look at the muddy pit that made her feel so ashamed. "

As she said this, she tilted her head and glanced at Xiaoyu meaningfully.

Xiao Yu was silent for a moment, then asked, "I want to take Doctor Min as my teacher, what do you think?"

Aunt Liu was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you having a brain storm? Even if you don't have the blessing of Hongju and can't worship the South Sea Divine Nun, wouldn't it be better for you to practice swordsmanship more? What's the point of learning medicine?"

Xiao Yu said: "I can easily master all kinds of sword techniques, so there is no need to waste time. Now I spend several hours every day teaching other girls to practice swordsmanship, but I don't gain much myself. It's better to set aside some time to study medicine.

From now on, if you have a headache or fever, you don’t need to see a doctor. I can take your pulse and prescribe medicine for you, which can save you a lot of money.”

Aunt Liu said in a deep voice: “You must understand your situation, the Eight Immortals of the West will definitely seek revenge on you.

My aunt doesn’t have much ability and can’t help even if she wants to. You can only rely on yourself.

If you go to Bao'antang every day and form a fixed route, it will be easy to be ambushed.

Just like Taoist Qingsong."

"Alas, you also said that you and Hongxiufang can't help me, and I will be fighting alone wherever I go. I would rather die outside than implicate my aunt and the sisters in the yard." Xiaoyu sighed.

Aunt Liu frowned and said, "Look at Bao'an Hall. Divine Doctor Min doesn't accept female disciples."

"If you don't try, how do you know the result?"

Doctor Min was busy until the afternoon, and only ended his free clinic at around two or three in the afternoon.

He stopped the free medical consultation not because the time was up, but because all the villagers who came to see the doctor had left.

The wide street at the foot of the wall was empty, so he told the medicine boy to put away the wooden fence.

"You want to see me?"

Xiaoyu met Doctor Min in a small side room in the back kitchen.

His dark face showed obvious signs of fatigue, and his bright little eyes also dimmed slightly.

At this moment, I am sitting at the table drinking a little wine, with a dish of green beans mixed with salt, a dish of stir-fried pumpkin leaves with shredded bean skin, and half a small bowl of stir-fried black fungus, red pepper and pork slices.

A pot of sake, a small wine glass the size of a thumb, a green bean in it, he took a sip, and a look of satisfaction and contentment appeared on his dark face.

"Min, I want to be your disciple."

The last time Xiaoyu saw Doctor Min, he knelt down and kowtowed three times to thank him for saving him.

So there is no big ceremony today.

"Why?" Doctor Min squinted his eyes and chewed the green beans carefully. Xiao Yu said: "Because Doctor Min's medical skills are superb, he only tapped the wrist pulse three times and was able to accurately diagnose the condition of his family members and even predict the past and future.

I admire the way of immortality, but I don’t have the blessing of being an immortal.

Min Shen Doctor's medical skills are close to Taoism, at least it can be considered a side door of the immortal family."

Doctor Min chuckled a few times and said, "I thought you would say that you want to save the dying and heal the wounded like me!"

Xiao Yu said: "Xiao Yu dare not deceive the doctor. Moreover, Xiao Yu does not think that saving the dying and healing the wounded can be a reason for the doctor to teach me medical skills.

Regardless of whether I have medical skills or not, if I meet a kind person who needs help, I will lend a hand if I can.”

"Haha, you are good at talking. I will tell you the truth too. Studying medicine cannot help you get out of your current situation."

Doctor Min placed his chopsticks on the edge of the plate and said seriously, “As long as there is determination and perseverance, I don’t mind teaching my medical skills to anyone.

The dozens of pharmacists in Bao'an Hall are all my apprentices.

It's very easy to get started, just be honest and obedient, there are not too many requirements.

I will teach you leniently to admit students but strict in training you out of school. If your medical skills fail to satisfy me, you will never be able to become a medical practitioner in your lifetime.

But I cannot teach you the 'medical skills' you want because I am not qualified."

Xiao Yu was surprised and asked, "Teacher's medical skills are amazing, how can you say you are not qualified?"

Doctor Min sighed, "You are a smart kid, have you ever thought about where I learned my medical skills?

There are three thousand great ways and countless methods of Tao.

There is the art of making elixirs that can make people immortal, and there is also the art of medicine that can cure diseases and save lives.

What I studied was medicine, one of the 'Eight Hundred Left Ways'.

But my teacher is not only good at medicine.

Medicine is just one of the many immortal subjects that the old man has mastered.

I am dull in talent and have only learned the basics of medicine. How can I learn from my teacher and teach medicine to my disciples?

I can only teach you medical skills.

It's like a failed scholar with incompetent ability teaching others classics and articles. He would be misleading and would corrupt good students.

But if it is used to teach children to read "Three Character Classic" and "Qionglin Junior High School", it is barely acceptable."

Xiao Yu was excited and looked at Doctor Min eagerly, saying, "Then can you introduce me to the Grandmaster?"

Doctor Min glanced at her and sneered, "You don't want to be my disciple anymore. You want to be my fellow apprentice?"

"Teacher, you wronged me. I clearly wanted to pay homage to the 'ancestor'." Xiaoyu cried out in grievance.

Doctor Min shook his head and said, "You are not the first person to come to me to seek immortal fate. They all returned disappointed, and you are no exception.

If you think about it carefully, you will understand. If I could introduce you to a teacher, why would I go down the mountain to open Bao'an Hall?

Wouldn't it be better if I could accompany him for the rest of his life?"

"Uh, were you driven down the mountain?" Xiaoyu asked in surprise.

Divine Doctor Min said self-deprecatingly, "It's not wrong to say that I'm being driven down the mountain. My teacher said that I don't have the luck to be an immortal, and that my life will be like this. Rather than staying in the mountains and accomplishing nothing, turning into dust after a hundred years, it's better to temper myself in the mortal world, give back what I've learned to the world, and at least accumulate some good deeds for my next life."

"Teacher, please accept my disciple's greeting. I, Yu Fengxian, am willing to learn medical skills from you!"

Xiaoyu took two steps back and bowed respectfully.

She breathed a sigh of relief quietly: Daddy Daddy was not touched.

She had expected that becoming a disciple would not disturb Da Mie's father, because in Lixiang Garden, she had had several teachers, and all of them were taught by professional teachers in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing, and poetry.

When she called "teacher" or "master", it did not trigger the Great Destruction of Dad.

It actually made her very happy.

To this day, she is still unsure whether being worshipped by her will definitely bring fatal misfortune to her adoptive father.

Unfortunately, many "godfathers" encountered misfortune.

For example, Qingsong Taoist Boy, Suiyuanzi, and Thousand-Handed Thief Saint, the three new "godfathers", died that night.

Not to mention that there are still many "godfathers" who are alive and well, Xiaoyu doesn't think that their misfortune comes from her at all. Uh, only the Thousand-Handed Thief Saint is barely qualified to cry out "injustice".

But she still thought it was better to be safe.

She really didn't want good people to encounter misfortune because of triggering the "Great Dad Destruction".

Well, the term “nice guy” is a bit subjective.

The South China Sea Divine Nun simply refused to accept her as her disciple, but wasn't she still ecstatic that the Divine Nun had touched upon the Great Destroyer Father?
Doctor Min twirled his beard and said, "I can only teach you ordinary medical skills. Do you still want to worship me?"

"Medical skills are just small skills. I admire the teacher's virtue more. Virtue is the great way!" Xiaoyu said.

——Just get started first, and then you can slowly practice it when you have time. I don’t believe that you, an old man, can keep gritting your teeth and not give in.

Not only does she want to learn medicine, she also wants to get close to the "old master" behind Doctor Min.

Xiaoyu left Bao'an Hall with a copy of "Shennong's Herbal Classic".

She didn't have to run to Bao'an Hall before she memorized the book.

Aunt Liu also left Bao'an Hall because the medical expenses were too expensive.

"What, five thousand taels of silver? I've only been here for less than three days, why do you need five thousand taels of silver?"

When Doctor Min finished his lunch and took the bill to Aunt Liu to ask for money, her excited roar almost shook the roof tiles off.

Doctor Min said, "To help you reconnect your heart and liver, my consultation fee alone will be three thousand taels of silver. How many precious herbs have you taken from that night till now? It's not too much to charge you one thousand five hundred taels of silver for the medicine, right?
The remaining five hundred taels are for your care."

"Two medicine boys just take care of me for two days, and they want five hundred? Even my golden lotus is not that expensive!

As for the medicinal materials, I just took some ginseng, angelica and astragalus to replenish blood and qi. Why is it 1,500 taels of silver, and there is also the consultation fee. You don’t even charge for treating other people.”

Doctor Min said calmly, "If I don't ask you rich people for more money, how can I donate the herbs to the poor villagers? Besides, my family is big and I have a hundred or so herbalists. Don't they need food and clothes?"

Aunt Liu said aggrievedly, "Am I not a miserable person? I am reduced to prostitution, and I am more miserable than the villagers."

Doctor Min shook his head and said, "Are you a miserable person? I will put my finger on your pulse and your 'sickness' and 'life and death' will naturally tell me.

Your aunt lives in a brothel, but she eats delicious food and wears silk every day. Five thousand taels is just your expenses for three to five months.

When ordinary people are seriously ill, they can spend three to five months’ savings to cure the disease, and they all go to the temple to worship the Buddha and fulfill their vows.

Aunt Liu is not just seriously ill, your heart and liver are broken."

Aunt Liu felt uncomfortable and thought that the old man was scolding her in a roundabout way.

But she couldn't refuse the bill written by the miracle doctor.

She had to be discharged from the hospital immediately.
