Mixed in the heavens, merits and virtues become immortals

Chapter 347 I've Wanted to Be a Taoist Priest for a Long Time
“Ingredients: one centipede, one qian of golden scorpion, and three earthworms, ground into powder.”

"Chinese herbal medicine, Isatis root, Isatis leaf, and Polygonum multiflorum, two ounces each; Forsythia, three mace..."

When Gu Qing was treating patients, he was not afraid of the prescription being leaked. When he wrote, his brushstrokes were vigorous and each character was like a seal. After Xu Xian got the prescription, he quickly prepared the medicine. In the process, he also pondered Gu Qing's prescription. When he didn't understand something, he asked Gu Qing. Gu Qing answered him in detail. Only then did Xu Xian realize that Gu Qing was prescribing medicine according to the patient's condition. He admired Gu Qing even more.

"Doctor, my heart is aching."

Just as the patient was about to leave, a gaunt-looking middle-aged man came to the front of the table, clutching his heart. Just as Gu Qing was about to take his pulse, Xu Xian suddenly came to greet him, bringing the patient ginseng tea and leading Gu Qing to the back.

"Boss Gu."

As soon as they entered the backyard, Wang Fengshan greeted them with clasped hands.

"Master Wang."

Gu Qing also called out, and looking at the appearance of Master Wang, she felt that Xu Xian and Pei Yaoqin were definitely going to be together.

After greeting him, Wang Fengshan said, "I just arrived here. Seeing that you're busy, I'll rest here for a while. Boss Gu, we're friends, so I won't lie to you. That patient's name is An Zichun. He's a regular patient of Dr. Shi, and we can't treat him."

That's why Wang Fengshan called Gu Qing to the backyard.

Gu Qing was surprised to hear this.

“That Dr. Shi is an expert in our area. He is precise in his use of medicine, and everyone he treats improves. However, if a patient goes to another doctor after being treated by him, the medicine will no longer work. Even if we do our best to administer the medicine, we will only end up pleasing neither side.”

Wang Fengshan spoke of this matter with some gritted teeth, adding, "Furthermore, those treated by Doctor Shi will have a weaker constitution, and will feel that they will get sick if they catch a chill."

Gu Qing was in the backyard, looking at the person in front. An Zichun was clutching his chest and crying out in pain. Perhaps An Zichun sensed something was wrong and wanted to see a different doctor.

Gu Qing knew that Wang Fengshan meant well, but she frowned slightly and said, "What Doctor Shi did is not in accordance with the proper principles of medicine."

This method of administering medicine involves using unorthodox drugs to bind the patient, which is not the proper way to treat and save lives.

Having traveled through many worlds, Gu Qing had seen a lot of these things. However, in the world of the White Snake, Gu Qing was pure and righteous. This persona even fooled the immortals and gods in his family. Therefore, when he heard these words, Gu Qing was filled with righteous indignation.

"Of course we know that he is not a medical practitioner, and many people in the pharmacies of Hangzhou also dislike him."

Wang Fengshan sighed and said, "But he has Qin Hui backing him, what can we do?"

Backed by Qin Hui?

Gu Qing already felt there was something wrong with this doctor, and now she felt even more wrong.

Gu Qing immediately got excited and prepared to fight him.

"Boss Gu!"

Seeing Gu Qing's expression, Wang Fengshan quickly tried to dissuade him, saying, "You don't want your apprentice's marriage anymore?"

Gu Qing turned around and looked at Xu Xian. Xu Xian's face first showed joy, then gradually turned into righteous indignation. He said to Gu Qing in a righteous tone, "Master, it is more important for you to deal with the treacherous minister!"

"It's good that you have the intention."

Gu Qing nodded and looked at Wang Fengshan. According to Wang Fengshan, the Pei family had already agreed. The next step was for the two families to discuss and set a wedding date.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xian thought of Miss Pei Yaoqin's appearance and felt joy in his heart, but for some reason, a sense of melancholy arose in his heart... After marrying Miss Pei Yaoqin, many of his fantasies about love had to be put into reality, which made Xu Xian feel a sense of disillusionment.

It feels like he's grown up all of a sudden.

Gu Qing smiled at Xu Xian. Xu Xian's marriage was going to happen, but Qin Hui's men also needed to be dealt with. Gu Qing walked out of the front yard, came to An Zichun, whispered a few words to him, and sent him out the door first, turning the treatment of An Zichun into a secret operation.

After a busy morning, Gu Qing placed a house deed on the desk. It described a small courtyard with brick and tile houses, and the name in the notes was Xu Xian.

"Master, you mustn't!" Xu Xian said immediately after seeing the house deed.

This gift is too heavy.

"Hold it!"

Gu Qing handed the house deed to Xu Xian and said, "After you get married, do you plan to take Miss Pei back to live with your sister and brother-in-law, or will you live here with me?"

Xu Xian was speechless.

“Your sister and brother-in-law’s place isn’t a long-term solution. I’ve also been keeping snakes here…”

As Gu Qing spoke, she glanced casually at Xu Xian's face and asked, "Do you like snakes? Would you be willing to spend your whole life with one?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xian immediately rubbed his arms, getting goosebumps.

Seeing this, Gu Qing chuckled inwardly, slipped the house deed into Xu Xian's clothes, patted Xu Xian on the shoulder, and said, "It's enough that you can inherit and carry forward my medical skills."

Every gift of fate comes with a hidden price tag.

Xu Xian didn't understand this principle, so he was extremely grateful to Gu Qing.

After spending half the morning working on her character, Gu Qing handed over the matter to Xu Xian in the afternoon, took a folding fan in her hand, and headed to the City God Temple in Hangzhou.

It was the height of spring, with all kinds of flowers in bloom. Gu Qing, holding a folding fan, looked like a young master enjoying a spring outing. As he strolled leisurely, he unknowingly arrived in front of the City God Temple.

"I've come to find the temple keeper."

Gu Qing showed the token handed to him by the door god. Upon seeing it, the Taoist priest in front of the door immediately ran back. After a short while, he announced that Gu Qing was invited inside. Before Gu Qing even reached the main hall of the City God Temple, the temple keeper had already come to greet him.

"Gu Qing."

After a brief introduction, Gu Qing was led by the temple keeper into the City God Temple. At the same time, the temple keeper began to introduce the basic information about the City God Temple to Gu Qing.

The City God Temples in the world are also divided into different levels. The highest level is the Capital City God, followed by the Prefectural City God, the State City God, and the City God. The City God Temple in Hangzhou is currently the Prefectural City God Temple.

"That's not right."

Gu Qing said, "The City God should be located in the capital, not in Hangzhou..."

"Hangzhou is merely a temporary capital."

The temple keeper interrupted, saying, "The capital of our Great Song Dynasty will always be Bianliang."

It's as if Zhao Gou could fight back.

Gu Qing's rebuttal wasn't meant to be argumentative; she simply felt the City God Temple lacked prestige and was somewhat disappointed. She believed that the City God Temple in the capital would certainly have a much higher status.

Once inside the City God Temple, the temple keeper looked at Gu Qing with a serious expression and asked, "Are you willing to accept the ordination certificate?"

Throughout the world, there are countless Taoists. Anyone can wear a Taoist robe, concoct some pills, and perform illusions on the streets in exchange for money, all under the name of the Taoist sect. However, those can only be called pseudo-Taoists. True Taoists are ordained.

Once you obtain the talisman, you will have the name and affiliation of the ten directions of immortals, and you can contact them and use your supernatural powers.

"Of course I do!"

Gu Qing pounded his chest and said, "I've wanted to be a Taoist priest for a long time, and I can't wait to be ordained."

Being a Taoist priest was Gu Qing's old profession.

No beef this time!
