The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 3 Treating a doctor and saving a patient
150 miles per hour is nothing in modern society.

Any car can easily reach 70 to 80 kilometers per hour if you step on the accelerator.

Once you get on the highway, the speed is 100 or 120 kilometers per hour, which is 200 or 240 miles.

But in ancient times, the 800-li express train meant that riders had to run 400 kilometers a day, and they could even die from running.

150 miles per hour is already faster than 800 miles per hour express.

And to be honest, in the entire history of the Celestial Empire, the 800-li express delivery only appeared twice.

An express delivery of six hundred miles is already considered extremely important military intelligence.

The so-called "thousand-mile horse" that can travel a thousand miles a day has always been just a legend.

However, since there are Taoist magic and demons in this world, it is not impossible for a horse to travel a thousand miles a day.

We arrived outside the city gate as the sun was setting.

But what Li Jingxiao didn't expect was that as soon as he entered the city gate, he saw four or five people dressed as servants, surrounding a young man named Jingyi who was about the same age as himself, and walking towards him quickly.

Li Jingxiao frowned slightly, shifted the grass carp in his left hand, hid his right hand in the sleeve of his gray Taoist robe, and silently made a grabbing gesture.

If these people become unfavorable to you, capture Master Jingyi first.

Fortunately, the young man was several meters away, so he bowed and asked, "Are you Taoist Jingyou from Zhenwu Temple?"

This Taoist name was given to Li Jingxiao by his master before he left home and formally accepted him as the 9th generation disciple of Zhenwu Temple.

I even went to the government office to make a note of it.

Now that I think about it, the old Taoist priest should have known that this trip might be dangerous before he left.

Li Jingxiao's junior uncle, who was in his 30s and very easy to talk to, was also arranged by the master to stay.

However, the junior uncle waited for the master and the others to leave for an incense stick of time, and then he quietly followed them.

Then there was no news.

Li Jingxiao did not let down his guard, but nodded with a smile on his face.

When Jia Lian saw that it was really the person he was looking for, his face was overjoyed. He walked forward and wanted to pull Li Jingxiao away.

Unfortunately, before his hand could touch Li Jingxiao, someone blocked it and grabbed Jia Lian's wrist instead.

Jia Lian was shocked. Although he was not good at studying and could not bear the hardship of learning martial arts, he had practiced martial arts for several years when he was a child.

Although it has been abandoned for a long time, the fact that someone could easily control her wrist is very unusual in Jia Lian's eyes.

He hurriedly explained, “Master, please don’t misunderstand me, I am Jia Lian from Rongguo Mansion.

My brother was seriously ill and he saw several famous doctors but his condition did not improve.

Even several imperial physicians were invited, but it was of no use.

There is really no other way. Let me hear what the housekeeper in my household says.

Several servants and maids in the family fell ill, so they went to Zhenwu Temple to seek medical treatment and medicine from the Taoist priest. The medicine worked immediately, and they hurried to find the Taoist priest to save them.

But the neighbors of the Taoist temple said that the Taoist priest went out to collect herbs today.

I had people guarding several city gates, and I was guarding the west gate myself. Fortunately, I finally waited for the Taoist priest."

As soon as Li Jingxiao heard that this guy was Jia Lian, he let him go.

Moreover, Jia Lian looked older than himself and was the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion. Calling him "little brother" was already very polite.

Li Jingxiao was also certain that Jia Lian really wanted him to cure the disease and save people, otherwise, there would be no need to be so humble.

After Jia Lian finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Li Jingxiao.

"I beg you to be merciful and save my cousin."

Li Jingxiao thought about it. Although the Jia family was eventually confiscated, judging from Jia Lian's face, he should be only a few years older than himself.

In other words, it would take many years for the Jia family to truly decline.

If you make some good connections, your life in this capital city will definitely be much more stable in the future.

Of course, my master and his teacher have lived in the capital for their entire lives, so they must have some connections.

But at this time, Li Jingxiao was even more afraid to look for his master's old friends.

It's possible that these powerful people, seeing that their ancestors and masters have been missing for two or three months, have thought of seizing the Zhenwu Temple and demolishing it to build a house.

It's not impossible.

When Zhu Di was in the capital, he built hundreds of Taoist temples.

Up to now, there are only a dozen or so left.

Along the way, Li Jingxiao thought for a moment and realized that Jia Lian was so young.

Then the seriously ill person should be Jia Zhu, the eldest grandson of the second branch of the Rongguo Mansion.

Sure enough, before arriving at Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian had already given a general account of Jia Zhu's situation.

Although Li Jingxiao was not an expert in medicine, he still had some basic judgment.

Several imperial doctors said that "he had studied hard day and night, exerted too much energy, and had caught a cold, and was beyond help."

Li Jingxiao guessed that Jia Lian probably didn't tell everything.

Although colds were indeed life-threatening diseases in ancient times, from what Jia Lian said, the disease had lasted for more than a month.

It keeps coming back and it's never completely healed.

There must be something going on, but it's hard to say it out loud.

He handed the grass carp in his hand to Jia Lian's servant.

Along the way, Li Jingxiao and Jia Lian chatted a lot, thinking to themselves that it was no wonder that this guy could become the steward of foreign affairs in Rongguo Mansion.

The way he treats people and deals with things is indeed extraordinary.

At least Li Jingxiao did not sense any arrogance or contempt from Jia Lian.

Of course, it is also possible that Jia Lian had something to ask for, which is why he was being so polite.

When they arrived at Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zhu's father, Jia Zheng, was already standing at the gate to greet them.

After the greetings, none of Jia Zheng and the Jia family's servants looked down on others.

Not only was he very polite to Li Jingxiao, but his attitude also hinted at hope.

Li Jingxiao understood after a moment's thought. Before the Jia family came to find him, they not only asked about the servants in the mansion who had gone to Zhenwu Palace to see the patient.

He should have also asked someone to go out and inquire about the fact that he had cured more than a hundred people in the past half month.

And because I am worried about wasting the blood-replenishing pills in the game,

Therefore, when Li Jingxiao gave people medicine, even if it was the lowest level Sanqi Blood-Replenishing Powder in the game, which could only add 100 health points, he only used one-tenth or even one-twentieth of the amount each time.

But even so, although the effect was not immediate, most patients were able to recover greatly after taking the medicine with water on the spot.

After that, go home and recuperate for a day or two, and you will recover naturally thanks to your body's ability to resist disease.

If it doesn't get better in three days, try again.

The most troublesome patient with a long-term cough was cured after drinking 10% dose of Panax notoginseng powder three times.

The effect is no worse than the medical skills of Li Jingxiao, the master.

Not to mention that Li Jingxiao was only 15 years old. Combined with the fact that the old Taoist priest in Zhenwu Temple knew martial arts and magic, Li Jingxiao seemed even more extraordinary.

Some even speculated that Li Jingxiao was so talented in medicine that the old Taoist priest kept him from appearing in public.

Lest anyone become jealous and harm him secretly.

Li Jingxiao discovered that curing illnesses and saving lives could earn him character-level experience.

Even if the king of heaven comes, he can't stop me from practicing medicine.

After entering the Rongguo Mansion, it took us at least ten minutes to walk all the way, and the pace was not slow, which shows that the Rongguo Mansion is really big.

When we arrived at a courtyard and entered the gate, we saw a group of women, maids, and old women surrounding an old lady.

Needless to say, this must be Grandmother Jia.

Li Jingxiao thought about it and, as a sign of respect for the elderly and love for the young, he bowed from a distance and said, "Greetings, old lady."
