Chapter 272 The Maid Imprisoned in the Temple (23)



In the inn, Shen Jingze, who had a pair of long ears, sometimes slightly curved his brows, and sometimes wrinkled them into a ball.

I thought I would be able to hear Chu Si tease Ning Wan about her lifelong wish, but I didn't expect the two of them to suddenly change the topic midway through the conversation.

Before he could think about it for a moment, the door was knocked again.

Shen Jingze naturally knew who was standing at the door, and soon the door was opened again.

Shen Jingze looked at Chu Si, whose face was full of smiles, and his gaze moved down to the medicine box in Chu Si's hand.

"Are you feeling better today?" Chu Si did not rush into the room, but stared at Shen Jingze's face.

Shen Jingze's face looked a little rosy, but in Chu Si's eyes, this was not a good sign.

"I feel a little better." Shen Jingze's mouth curled up slightly, but he didn't have any temper. He just couldn't help covering his face and coughing twice.

Chu Si frowned, looking at Shen Jingze like this, and said seriously: "Don't be so stubborn, I know your body better than you do."

Hearing this, Shen Jingze raised his eyes slightly, looked at Chu Si who looked troubled, hesitated for a moment, and said truthfully: "My chest feels a little stuffy."

Seeing Chu Si treating him seriously, Shen Jingze did not hide his physical discomfort.

Chu Si nodded slightly, "Lie down, I'll give you a few injections first."

Hearing this, Shen Jingze slightly turned his body and said, "Then I'll have to trouble the doctor."

Shen Jingze turned and walked towards the bed, and the herbs on the table had already been put away by Shen Jingze.

Chu Si stepped into the room and closed the door again.

Coming to the bedside, Chu Si first took Shen Jingze's pulse.

After confirming that it was due to excessive fatigue caused by the journey, rather than a worsening of his illness, Chu Si breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Si opened the medicine box and took out the wrapped silver needles without daring to be distracted.

Shen Jingze also cooperated very well and didn't move.

Half an hour later, Chu Si put away the needle, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and put the needle bag back into the medicine box.

"Wait a minute, doctor."

Looking at Chu Si who was about to leave, Shen Jingze suddenly spoke.

Chu Si was stunned for a moment, "Are you feeling unwell?"

As he spoke, Chu Si's hand was about to rest on Shen Jingze's wrist again.

"No, I just have a few questions in my mind, and I want to ask the miracle doctor to help me solve them." Shen Jingze calmly withdrew his hand, sat up, gathered his clothes in front of his chest, and explained.

Chu Si: ...He almost scared me to death.

He was ready to take out the silver needle and give it another try.

Chu Si said in a very good tone: "Just ask, Master Shen."

"Does the divine doctor know which deity is enshrined in the palace on the mountain?"

Shen Jingze's eyes showed obvious curiosity, and he spoke in a very sincere tone.

Chu Si hadn't expected Shen Jingze to ask such a question. He thought about it again and again: "Master never told me that seeing "Him" holding a sword, I think he must be a sword god."

Shen Jingze listened to Chu Si's serious nonsense: ... He thought that people in this mortal world could know, but he didn't expect that it was just his assumption.

"Sword God? Are there any other rumors about this Sword God?"

Shen Jingze continued to ask, wanting to get some new information from Chu Si.

But Chu Si shook his head without even thinking: "No, there is no historical record of that god in the temple."

"Master never told us the origin of that god."

"I heard that the god can help people fulfill their wishes. I wonder if the divine doctor can tell whether it's true or not?"

After listening to Chu Si's words, Shen Jingze lowered his eyes, was silent for a moment, and then tried again without giving up.

Chu Si, who had been somewhat indifferent, frowned: "Who told you this, Master Shen?"

"The Temple of Gods, who doesn't know the people at the foot of this mountain?"

"Every day, countless people want to go up the mountain, but they can't find the way up, and they don't even know where the temple is."

Shen Jingze chuckled and explained why he knew this.

And the facts are just as Shen Jingze said.

Not everyone who wants to pray to the gods can find the temple of the gods as they wish.

Even more people don’t know the location of the Temple of the Gods.

In such a vast world, the existence of the Temple of the Gods has always been passed down by word of mouth.

In Chu You's words, when fate is right, the Temple of the Gods will naturally appear before your eyes. If fate is not right, even if you can see the palace, you will never be able to step in.

Chu Si's frown finally relaxed. Thinking of the reputation of the Temple of Gods, he did not have too many doubts:

"I haven't tried it, but my master once told us: The gods won't bless those who are not sincere."

The extremely familiar eight words made Shen Jingze stunned.

And seeing that Shen Jingze was silent, Chu Si couldn't help but think of the night when Shen Jingze went out to relax.

Chu Si was very tactful and didn't say anything unpleasant.

“Mr. Shen, you will definitely get what you wish for.”

People always need something to rely on, even if they know that praying to idols is useless.

"By the good words of the miracle doctor."

Shen Jingze came back to his senses, the smile on his lips deepened a little, and the moment he raised his eyes, his eyes seemed to brighten a lot.

"Does Mr. Shen have anything else to ask?"

Chu Si breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Shen Jingze smiling again.

He didn't know what Shen Jingze had asked for in the Temple of Gods that day. If it was for his life, he would do his best. If it was for something else, as long as it could save his life, it would only be a matter of time before his request was fulfilled.

Shen Jingze: "Not for now, thank you for clearing up my doubts, doctor."

Chu Si originally planned to pick up the medicine box and leave, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but speak: "Just you should still call me Master Chu from now on, or you can call me Fourth Brother like you did with Junior Sister."

Chu Si always felt that Shen Jingze's address to him sounded awkward and made him extremely uncomfortable. The more he listened, the more he felt like the miracle doctor who wandered around the world selling fake medicine.

Shen Jingze raised his eyes and looked at Chu Si who said this seriously.

Fourth brother?

Same as his junior sister?

I'm afraid not.

"I'll call you Mr. Chu. Calling you Miss Ning might cause misunderstanding."

Shen Jingze's expression did not change, he strictly observed etiquette and did not overstep the mark.

There was a hint of smile in Chu Si's eyes, and he looked at Shen Jingze in front of him more and more favorably.

It is indeed a pity that such a person died.

Just when he was thinking of saying a few more words to tell Shen Jingze not to worry about these empty formalities, the door was knocked again.

Shen Jingze, who was sitting on the bed, frowned slightly.

"Don't worry, I'm afraid it's my junior sister who's here to deliver medicine."

After hearing the sound, Chu Si raised his foot again, put the medicine box in his hand on the table beside him, and went to open the door.
