October 31st.
There are three days left until the day when the Holy Venerable Liuli Medicine Master attains enlightenment.
Winter days are short; the sky only begins to lighten after 7 a.m.
Eunuch Wang bent over and parted the cotton curtain blocking the window to look outside.
Although it was just dawn, there were already quite a few people in Huatan Temple.
I recently heard that a Dharma assembly is going to be held, and it's quite large in scale. Not all temples in Jincheng can hold such an event.
With the Venerable Master Xuputuo presiding over Huatan Temple, it is naturally qualified.
Moreover, Master Daoci will also give sermons at the Dharma assembly for the Zen Buddhist disciples currently residing at Huatan Temple.
This was a living advertisement; once the news spread, monks from temples within a radius of hundreds of miles rushed over.
Therefore, many workers came and went to prepare offerings, clean guest quarters, and stockpile rice and grain.
It's much more lively than it was a few days ago.
Eunuch Wang clicked his tongue and lowered the cotton curtain.
A young eunuch placed a copper basin filled with hot water in front of him.
She wrung out a steaming hot handkerchief and handed it to him to wipe his face.
Eunuch Wang: "What have the Qin merchants been busy with lately?"
The young eunuch said, "Grandpa, Lord Qin has been busy with the Buddhist ceremony lately. I heard that quite a few people are coming, including not only monks, but also believers who are planning to open the temple gates wide to come in and worship Buddha. If you ask me, this is unnecessary. Too many people and too much work, Lord Qin will be very busy."
Eunuch Wang threw the handkerchief back into the copper basin.
"Have our people keep a close eye on things."
The young eunuch said, "I'm keeping a close eye on him, Grandpa. I can't afford to miss a single thing. After all, there are many people and things are complicated. His Highness Prince Qishan is here in seclusion. If something happens to him and he's kidnapped, how will we explain ourselves?"
Eunuch Wang shook his head.
"Wrong."
The young eunuch was taken aback. "Wrong?"
Eunuch Wang sat back down on the soft chair.
"If Yunzheng really disappeared during the Dharma assembly, how can we know whether he was kidnapped or ran away on his own?"
this……
"So, I said you're wrong. It's true that we need to keep a close watch, but if someone tries to escape or kidnap Yun Zheng, there are times when we can't see them. Even the Embroidered Robe Envoy can't always keep an eye on things."
The young eunuch seemed to be deep in thought.
Eunuch Wang stroked the fake beard on his chin and chuckled:
"Although the capital city is wholeheartedly eager for him to return, he has betrayed the emperor's trust and is unwilling to go back, so there's nothing we can do. If he really runs away, we will chase after him, but whether we can bring him back is another matter."
"After all, the outside world is very dangerous. If someone dies by accident, it will have nothing to do with us."
Eunuch Wang's words were quite meaningful.
The young eunuch suddenly realized.
“Grandpa is right. With so many people around, how can we possibly take care of everything so thoroughly? I will give the order right away.”
.
In Dao Ci's quiet study, some kind of charcoal was burning, making it warm and carrying a hint of woody fragrance.
The fumes made people even more drowsy.
As dawn broke, a lamp was still lit in the meditation room. A small candle lay limp in the lamp oil, its flame flickering listlessly.
Dao Ci, dressed in a white robe, stood beside the bookshelf.
I don't know if it was the darkness of the sky or the dimness of the lamplight.
Standing in the darkness, the person appeared even taller and thinner, with long arms and legs, and a cold demeanor.
Those eyes, much darker than most people's, were now slightly lowered, their long eyelashes obscuring the light within.
Qi Su yawned and reached out to lift Dao Ci's clothes.
A voice suddenly came from the side.
The voice was stern and cold; it was Qing Yan. "Wait—it's so cold, aren't your hands freezing? Don't let your senior brother get cold. Go over there and warm them up."
So much to do.
Qi Su gave an "oh" and slowly lowered her hand.
He slowly walked to the charcoal brazier and slowly grilled for two minutes.
The more I bake, the more sleepy I feel.
She yawned again, and a tear welled up in the corner of her eye.
He slowly turned back and lifted Dao Ci's clothes.
Beneath the thin clothing was bare skin.
His skin was slightly fair, and his abs were lean and well-proportioned—not too much, which would look tacky, and not too little, which would look puffy.
Qi Su was overcome with lust and began to grope him—this was impossible.
Beside him, Qingyan held up a candle, watching intently.
The way she acted, as if she was about to charge Qi Su money if she touched her even once more.
Early in the morning, having not slept well, Qi Su was listless and indifferent, indeed not in the mood for anything.
Extend your fingers and guide the vital energy along the acupoints on your abdomen.
Once the location of the insect was found, it was enveloped in layers of true energy.
Qi Su could sense that the insect Gu, under the pressure of true energy, had curled up into a small ball.
Dao Ci could also sense it.
Compared to before, after two years of recuperation by Master Xuputuo, the venomous insects were even more docile.
As Dao Ci pondered, his gaze swept over the head of the person in front of him.
She looked like she hadn't slept well; she kept yawning.
But that doesn't stop her from talking nonsense.
"Master, you sit all day, how do you still have abs? I have a friend who is a fat otaku online novelist. She sits in front of the computer all day typing, and her belly has become as big as a swimming ring. She really wants to know if there is any secret."
Dao Ci remained silent.
He didn't need an answer.
Because Qi Su quickly found the answer herself.
"Because you often have to climb the back mountain at night to get medical treatment, right? It seems that it's important to balance work and rest. Okay, today's treatment is over."
"I will use my inner energy to seal the Gu worm in the next few days and let it gradually adapt. On the day of the ceremony, I will use silver needles to acupuncture acupoints to make it fall into a deep sleep, so that there will be no chance of anything going wrong."
As she spoke, she removed her fingers from Dao Ci's body.
He let out a long sigh, a tiny bead of sweat appearing on the tip of his nose.
.
However, in Qingyan's eyes, the whole process looked like the woman groping her senior brother's body.
The senior brother did not stop it; in fact, he tacitly approved of it.
In short, it was a very unpleasant experience to watch.
Qingyan had ample reason to suspect that the woman's claim that the meridians had to be combed twice a day, morning and evening, before the day of the Glazed Medicine Master's enlightenment was simply a pretext for her to harass her senior brother.
"Now that you're better, don't just stand there, go back now."
As Qingyan spoke, with a stern face, he squeezed between the two men, holding up a candle.
Qi Su: "Oh dear, I forgot there's one more step we haven't finished."
What?
She pushed Qingyan aside again, stretched out her arms, and fiercely hugged the thin monk who was standing in front of the bookshelf and had already put down his thin clothes.
She hugged him very tightly, her whole body melting into his embrace.
"Mwah." She even blew a kiss from afar.
Qingyan looked at it for a moment, realized he had been tricked, and his face turned red with anger.
"You, you, you..."
Qi Su released her hand with satisfaction and glanced sideways.
"What do you mean, 'I'? I'm just collecting some interest first. I advise you to show me some respect; I'm about to become your sister-in-law."
Qingyan shouted angrily, "You're talking nonsense!"
Qi Su burst into laughter.
"Master, don't stop the clinic on the back mountain tonight. Make sure the patient takes the medicine properly and make the necessary arrangements for their future."
Having said that, he waved his hand and shuffled out.
