Zhang Xuan made a somewhat offensive joke, so Meng Yu naturally taught him a lesson.
Compared with Xie Yunhua, Zhang Xuan obviously respected Meng Yu much more. Of course, he also knew that this joke was not very nice, so he bowed respectfully to Kong Hanan and asked for forgiveness.
This is not an important matter. Kong Hanan and his party came here to solve the plague.
Although the five strange ghosts returned to the underworld, they were enhanced and became stronger in the small world of Pingyang, which was once a small world and is now a poisonous hell.
Although it was only half a month in the human world, who knows how many years had passed in the underworld.
With the bonus from the underworld, the underworld moon, the Luofeng Mountain and the bonus from sharing some merits, the Five Strange Ghosts are no longer to be bullied by the Ghost King.
The leopard demon who bullied them before also joined the team of the underworld as a "temporary worker" and became their subordinate, temporarily taking care of the ghosts and monsters in the poisonous hell for them.
So Kong Hanan trusted their judgment very much.
If they say they can do it, then they can do it.
It's just to extract the poison, not to cure it completely, so it's not that troublesome.
Moreover, although the means are different, the results are the same, which is beneficial to both the human world and the underworld.
Soon, the two yamen runners who had rushed out earlier carried back a young man who was seriously ill.
The young man was probably in his early twenties, dressed casually, and it was obvious that his family was not very well off. There was a doctor in his fifties following him.
Medical practitioners once produced saints, two in total, but that was too long ago. In this world where gods and ghosts run rampant, current medical practitioners generally believe in Taoism and temporarily rely on the Taoist tradition. After all, the five arts of cultivators also involve medicine, and the two complement each other.
But they don't believe in God that much, and have a bit of a pan-religious flavor.
The magic power in the body is somewhat mixed, some are of Wood Zixia attributes, some are of Earth Return to Origin attributes, and some are of Water Biyuan attributes. These attributes complement and restrain each other, and it looks a bit like a hodgepodge.
Medical doctors may not have much magical power, but they pay attention to health preservation and exercise, and take it as their responsibility to save people, so they are somewhat different from monks who live in seclusion.
They were also easy to recognize, wearing white coats and covering their faces with white cloth, a bit like a scarf, and their function was similar to the mask Kong Hanan wore in his previous life.
Wherever there is war, wounded soldiers, natural disasters or man-made disasters, they are there.
Kong Hanan glanced at them with his Yin-Yang eyes and saw the lifespan of the two.
The young man lying on the stretcher had very little time left. His life was in countdown. The color of his life was a dead black, and he was in a deep coma.
The doctor next to him still has more than 20 years to live, but he has been exhausted recently. It can be seen that his lifespan is fluctuating and seems to be about to drop at any time.
Kong Hanan was filled with awe. This was a true doctor.
Meng Yu, who was standing by, looked at the young man's attire and felt a little confused.
"Did you find a poor family to undergo the experiment?"
The doctor said, "His name is Li San. He was originally a rickshaw driver. After the plague broke out, he volunteered to help us transport supplies and patients. He was not afraid of danger and worked tirelessly, but unfortunately he was infected with the plague."
Zhang Xuan, standing by, also said solemnly, "He has provided a lot of help in maintaining stability in our yamen. If he can be treated, I hope that Supervisor Kong will not hesitate to help."
Meng Yu didn't think about this and bowed deeply to the young man on the stretcher, even though Li San couldn't see it.
Kong Hanan nodded and said, "As I should."
After saying this, he winked at Qiao Daoling.
Without saying a word, Qiao Daoling took out a piece of talisman paper with the words "Five Strange Ghosts" written on it, lit it, threw it into a teacup, brought it to Li San, and was about to feed it.
The doctor over there turned pale and roared angrily.
"What are you doing? Treating illnesses and saving lives is not something you can do so frivolously!"
Qiao Daoling was startled, shrank back, and looked at Kong Hanan for help.
Kong Hanan bowed and said, "May I ask the doctor's name and why he stopped me?"
The doctor waved his sleeves and said, "Gao Da, I dare not. You can just call me the doctor of Bian Que. Why are you stopping me? You officials have disregarded the people's livelihood and fled Wancheng when the plague broke out. Now you are using such means to humiliate a hero."
Bian Que was once a saint of medicine and a member of a medical school. The former saint Bian Que walked the world, cured countless illnesses, and left behind countless prescriptions and medical books. In order to cure diseases, he even missed the best time to transcend tribulation, and ultimately did not ascend to heaven, but died of old age in the world.
The medical school of Bian Que inherited the will of the sage Bian Que. The disciple with the most outstanding Chinese medicine skills walked the world under the name of Medical Bian Que and left behind countless stories.
However, as time went by, the Bian Que School gradually declined. Now everyone can call themselves Bian Que, but most of them only call themselves that when they do good deeds without leaving their names.
Kong Hanan had more and more respect for this doctor.
He bowed and said, "We just have different methods. You use medical skills to treat people, and we use ghost control to cure diseases. That's all."
The doctor waved his sleeves again, ignoring Kong Hanan's courtesy, and spoke.
"Curing illnesses and saving lives is only for the sake of saving lives, so how can you use the techniques of ghosts and gods to judge them? How can you, the Supervisor, use the teachings of ghosts and gods to judge the lives of ordinary people?"
The saints of medicine have not ascended to heaven, so although doctors occasionally use ghosts and gods to fool patients, they do not trust ghosts and gods. Kong Hanan has long understood this.
He bowed for the third time, this time bowing all the way down, and spoke sincerely.
"A cat that catches mice is a good cat, whether it's black or white. Brother Li is in danger right now, so why not try some tricks?"
"As for me, the Supervisor, I am young and have no interest in this. Doctors, please don't take it too seriously."
Seeing that Kong Hanan was so polite and did not use his official power to oppress others, and his words were sincere, the doctor finally turned his head away and said in a cold voice.
"Anyway, I don't believe what you're saying."
Not only did he not believe it, even Zhang Xuan who was watching from the side was stunned.
He had also seen monks performing rituals to cure diseases and pray for blessings. Didn't they always do it with great fanfare and set up altars?
Are you just going to burn a talisman here?
He looked at Meng Yu suspiciously, but Meng Yu was winking at Qiao Daoling.
The doctor turned his head away. Although he spoke toughly, he did take a step back. He said, "While the other party has given you permission, hurry up and don't let your master bend his back for too long."
He was actually a bit frustrated. Although he knew that Kong Hanan managed the ghosts in the underworld and that the methods to control ghosts were not too complicated, it was really too frivolous to do it in such a frivolous way.
If it doesn't work out, he will have acted as a guarantor in vain.
Qiao Daoling understood and gave the talisman water in the teacup to Li San.
He was just a woodcutter before, and although he had taken care of his seriously ill mother, he was nowhere near as skillful as a doctor. His burly appearance made the doctor, who was secretly watching him with his head tilted, twitch his eyes.
In just a short time, the doctor almost couldn't hold back and wanted to step forward to stop it several times.
In the end, the talisman water was drunk.
Meng Yu and Zhang Xuan also focused their attention on Li San.
Success or failure depends on this moment.
Of course it will succeed. Kong Hanan, who was bending over, was also secretly looking at Li San.
But he is extremely confident, or rather, trusts his subordinates.
Sure enough, although the method was a bit rough, after drinking the talisman water, Li San's fingers moved and he opened his eyes.
