Astral Apostle

One hundred and seventy-two steps into Ningtian

The Ye family 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 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 journey with calm and calm.

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.

——After finally appearing in front of people, it caused a movement. 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 the 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 that was 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 tuzhu, and I caught a big fish!

Such giants and riches are a very good springboard. It seems that it is easier to implement their own marketing plans by pretending to be fools.

"Daoist 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 at first, so 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.

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

Zhou Jing did not turn his head, 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 other things. Supernatural."

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

As a rich man in one place, it is not that Ye Shunzhong has never been in contact with other Taoist priests.

I have some understanding of various Taoist schools and Taoist classics, but this is the first time I have 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, and if someone "cracked down", he would not 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 just playing tricks!

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

Ye Shunzhong quickly flattered.

Zhou Jing let out a hum, holding his expression, pretending to be light-hearted, and asked:

"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 of this mortal world are?"

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, smiled slightly, and nodded.

He paused and 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, and interjected:

"Not long ago, there was a strange incident, but it happened in the area of ​​Luhe. According to more than a month ago, there was a thief named Chen Feng in Luhe Jingzhou who made a scene in the prefecture. Massacres of sages, serious injuries to the prefect, and after committing a serious crime, escaped from Anlin Mansion and disappeared... The government's sea arrest documents have been distributed all over the surrounding provinces, and even my Ningtian Mansion has posted a wanted notice."

"Is there such a thing?"

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.

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

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:

"Official Bangwen, Chen Feng thief 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 run into the Anlin prefect. It was only when the madman became violent that he was injured..."

Ye Shunzhong echoed in a deep voice: "These madmen are lawless, they should have been captured by the government sooner rather than later, and beheaded for public display."

Zhou Jing was noncommittal and said nothing.

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 will definitely not be good, he is mentally prepared.

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

While the group was chatting, 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 moved away, 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 rush, and went back to the city to tell the story, and word of mouth spread.

The people who didn't see this scene couldn't help but be skeptical after listening to the swear words of the witnesses.

The news spread like wildfire, but in just half a day, the incident spread to half of Ningtian Mansion. More and more people knew about the deeds of "God stepped on the river and entered Ningtian". It quickly became a hot topic sweeping the streets and alleys. People, people are talking about it.

...

A group of people 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 mansion with a high gate. There are two stone lions lying in front of the gate.

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

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

"Brother, is this trip going smoothly?"

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

Several other owners of the house opened their mouths to ask questions, seeming to be anxious.

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

Everyone immediately looked happy, and hurried up to greet them politely. Guliang

"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 too polite, you are old and old." Zhang Jinduan hurriedly returned the salute.

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

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

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

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

"I don't know who this brother is?"

Hearing this, Ye Shunzhong's expression changed, and he shouted, "Don't be rude! This is Daoist Lingfengzi, who is an expert. He came to my Ye family to stay temporarily. You must respect him and not make mistakes. "

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

Senior? How tall is it?

I didn't see how much my elder 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, but when the person's face was not good for questioning, they suppressed their inner confusion and went up to say hello with courtesy.

Zhou Jing deliberately held his posture and said indifferently: "I'm disturbing you, but if there is no important thing on weekdays, don't disturb the poor road easily."

Hearing this, everyone felt a little unhappy, only to feel 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 responded, 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 this man face so much.

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 ill?"

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 asked Doctor Zhang to come back in person."

Zhou Jing nodded, remembered it in his heart, thought about it, and did not intend 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, he can make medicines that can save lives, but diagnosis and treatment of intractable diseases is a medical skill, and he has not yet mastered this skill.

This time, I used Bill to shuttle in, and 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 Taigong's treatment."

Ye Shunzhong hurriedly said yes, turned his head to instruct the steward to lead Zhou Jing to the wing, and even specifically instructed not to be neglected.

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 Taoist?"

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

He was about to witness the deeds of Zhou Jing stepping on the river with his own eyes and told everyone.

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

Walking on the river... It sounds like a fantasy, how can there be such a method in the world, I am afraid that I have run into a liar?

Someone couldn't help but sneer:

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

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

"Don't be stupid! Daoist Lingfengzi is a real master of the Dao, don't mention it again!"

Seeing this, everyone had to put out their words of 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 see and treat the old lady, and went to the old lady's yard with a group of uncles.

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

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

The young man in strong suit who was questioned by everyone was called Ye Heng. He was a descendant of the second room of the Ye family. He was an alternative at home. Headache.

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

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

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

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

"This Daoist Lao Shizi is mostly a liar. Even if I am the head of the Wushan faction, 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 does Lingfengzi do it, but it must be a juggling of the rivers and lakes, like a fishy job like boiling oil for copper money and putting 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 an aloof attitude, which is disgusting. 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 a chance to stab him in person, play him, and make him lose face, he will naturally slip away... Hey, I'll see what I can do then."

...

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

Ye Shunzhong and other uncles from various houses 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 anger was like a gossamer, her face was blue and black.

A few months ago, he was a chubby and wealthy old man, but now he is skinny and almost 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 Jin was sitting in front of the bed, feeling the pulse of the old lady Ye, and his brows became tighter and tighter.

After a long time, Zhang Jinduan released his fingers, took out the silver needle again, and stabbed a few needles into the old lady's acupuncture point. com looked at the reaction, and then fell silent.

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, looked puzzled, and said:

"It's strange, his pulse is weak and weak, his qi and blood are depleted, but he can't find any 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 met. Brother Ye, your grandfather is really I got sick a few months ago? What signs did you have 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 Doctor Zhang can cure this disease?"

Zhang Jinduan stroked his beard and smiled wryly: "I'll give it a try, old man."

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

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