People from Baiyun Village visited
Seeing the face in front of him, the priest introduced.
"Ghost Doctor, this is our Saint Yan Rong. Although she is young, she is very talented and works not only thoroughly but also attentively."
Pang Guan had never seen Yan Rong before. When he saw Yan Rong's face, he didn't show any surprise. Instead, he looked at her with the admiration of an elder for a younger person.
"From now on, Saint Yan will be very busy."
As they talked, they walked in front of Yan Rong, but they had no intention of stopping.
The priest glanced at Yan Rong and motioned her to follow.
Afterwards, several people followed the priest to a bamboo house, which was where they usually discussed things, and it could also be called a meeting house.
The three rooms in the house are all connected, but they are separated by bamboo screens on the left and right sides to serve as doors.
The middle room is the largest, with eight large carved chairs placed in it, arranged in a two-by-two, three-by-three pattern.
Pang Guan and the priest naturally sat in the upper seats. After they sat down, a maid came in to serve tea.
After the tea was served, the maids left quickly, their movements orderly and well-trained.
"Ghost Doctor, now you can tell me what you came to discuss with me this time." The priest picked up the teacup and sipped it carefully, looking calm and relaxed.
Pang Guan looked at the people sitting there, all of whom were people he knew and could trust.
He didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.
"Duo Jin discovered a dragon cave in Yunshui County. The fighting among the witches and Gu in this dragon cave is extremely fierce. This means that the Gu King will be born sooner than usual."
"And the blood bags used this time were extracted from human bodies."
"What?!" the priest was shocked.
He put down the teacup in his hand, still a little bit unbelieving, "But as far as I know, there haven't been a lot of people missing recently."
Pang Guan dared to say this, of course he had evidence. He took out a white porcelain bottle from his sleeve pocket and said, "This is the pill I got from Yan Qing and others. Look at what this is."
Shi Yanqing, who was sitting there silently and listening attentively to the two people talking, asked: When did the teacher take the pills from her?
The priest took the bottle, opened the stopper, and poured a blood-red pill-like substance into his palm.
When he saw the color of this thing clearly, his eyes trembled slightly, "This, this is it!"
The priest recognized what it was and quickly poured the pills in his hand back into the bottle. His previous calm and composed look had completely disappeared.
This pill looks so familiar, Shi Yanqing thought with a slightly frown.
"Priest, now you believe me." Pang Guan touched his beard with a faint smile on his lips.
"Alas," the priest sighed, "this really is the red spider lily. Could it be that what happened five years ago is going to happen again? We absolutely cannot fail this time."
Five years ago, it was revealed that the deposed crown prince used witchcraft to harm the people, the most famous of which was the red spider lily.
As long as someone takes the red spider lily, all the blood and essence in his body will be absorbed by the red spider lily. When the person dies, the red spider lily will also die, but it will not disappear. Instead, it will form a thumb-sized spherical object in the human body.
Usually in the heart.
So whenever someone dies because of the red spider lily, his heart will be dug out.
When this kind of thing first happened, people thought it was the work of ghosts and goblins. Later, Shi Qingqing discovered through an autopsy that it was a method of witchcraft.
The spherical object formed after the death of the red spider lily can be used as medicine, and can also be used to raise poisonous insects in dragon caves.
So it is also called blood bag.
Blood bags are divided into animal and human ones, and what the priest saw just now was a blood bag that came out of a human body.
Priest: "It seems that they also know that Yunshui County is under our attention. These blood bags must have come from somewhere else."
Pang Guan nodded in agreement.
"Now that you know this, please inform Her Majesty the Empress as soon as possible. I suspect the Gu King in the Dragon Cave was intended for use on the Empress this time."
"I'll deliver the message later." The priest has a special channel to communicate with the empress.
After he finished speaking, he felt that it was not possible, so he immediately changed his mind and stood up and walked towards the inner room on the left while saying, "Forget it, I'll go write the letter now."
After the priest left, Pang Guan also got up and walked outside to get some fresh air.
"I'll just go out for a walk, you guys wait here."
After the teacher spoke, Shi Yanqing gave up the idea of following him out.
Her gaze fell on Yan Rong, who had been keeping her head down. Tan Ye, who was sitting on her right, couldn't help but step forward and ask.
"I knew you were not a simple person. You are the Saint of this place. Then why did you deliberately approach my wife?"
Yan Rong's eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't hide it anymore.
"It was the High Priest who originally sent me to your side. Since I had a mission, of course I had to conceal my identity and approach you. This kind of thing couldn't be done intentionally."
Dan Ye was speechless after hearing her words, and his chest felt stuffy, so he had to go back to his seat, pick up the teacup and drink some tea to calm himself down.
In response to this, Shi Yanqing said that you just have to get used to it.
After all, although she is beautiful, she always speaks bluntly.
"Will you still work in the clinic in the future?" Shi Yanqing had long known that Yan Rong's identity was not simple, so he did not feel deceived after knowing her true identity.
There's no question of being angry.
She was more concerned about whether Yan Rong would come back to the clinic after the Chinese New Year.
If she doesn't come back, she will have to recruit workers in advance.
If she comes back, she won't have to recruit workers for the time being.
Moreover, Xun Lu had left, and she was the only doctor in the clinic. Yan Rong was a saint and also had medical skills, so maybe she could replace Xun Lu's position in the clinic.
After all, there are not many serious illnesses to be treated in the county town. Even if there are serious illnesses, there are several well-known doctors in Xinglintang who will go to see them first.
If the disease cannot be cured, her clinic will come.
Yan Rong didn't expect Shi Yanqing's attitude to be so gentle. She raised her head, which had been lowered due to nervousness.
Her gaze met Shi Yanqing's beautiful eyes that were always gentle, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise a little, "I will definitely come back."
Although she still needed to ask the High Priest about this matter, she realized at this time that when the High Priest sent her to be with the doctor, he certainly did not tell her the real reason.
Maybe after the doctor and others leave, the priest will tell the truth to her, the saint.
The two chatted for a few more sentences, with Dan Ye interjecting from time to time.
As for Zhou Hanzhang, he had been silent since entering Jianshui Village. Shi Yanqing had of course noticed something was wrong with him and asked him quietly before entering the house.
At that time, Zhou Hanzhang just shook his head and said that they would talk about it when they got back.
Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Shi Yanqing didn't ask any more questions.
After a while, Pang Guan came back from outside. No one knew where he had been, but he had a smile on his face and held a few handfuls of grass in his hands, the kind of wild grass that could be seen everywhere on the ground.
Not long after he returned, the priest also came out of the inner room.
He saw the weeds in Pang Guan's hand, his eyes sparkled, and he smiled, "It's still early, why don't I show you around here, then stay for a meal and rest before leaving."
Pang Guan did not refuse.
It was already afternoon when they returned. Shi Yanqing and Zhou Hanzhang got off the carriage after entering the city and asked Qingping to take Pang Guan to the school to pick up Pang Jiuan.
They wandered around outside for a while before returning home.
…
"You bastard!"
In the palace, Wang Shangcai kicked the servant who was standing in front of him with his head lowered, with a fierce look on his face.
After the boy was kicked, he felt a surge of pain and fell to the ground uncontrollably.
But he did not cover the place where he was kicked and wail. Instead, he fell to the ground, trembling all over, not daring to make a sound.
Wang Shangcai's wife, Ye Jiqin, saw this from her seat, frowning slightly. She picked up the teacup and gently moved the lid, "Master, your temper is getting worse day by day. If the head of the family knew about this, I'm sure he would scold you again."
"Okay, go down and take care of your wounds first. You don't need to guard here anymore."
Upon hearing this, the servant immediately responded: "I'll be right out."
After the servant left, only Wang Shangcai and Ye Jiqin were left in the room.
Ye Jiqin: "Master, now you can tell me why you have been so impatient lately."
Wang Shangcai shook his wide sleeves and said, "It's that newly opened clinic that doesn't even have a decent name, but it has taken away half of my patients."
"She's just a little girl, yet she dares to snatch my person from me. It really makes me angry."
Ye Jiqin's intuition told her that the person beside her did not tell her the real reason for her anger, but sometimes it is not good to know too much.
Since he said so, she would believe it.
"Master, why don't you give that clinic some trouble? The patient will naturally come back."
Looking for trouble? Why didn't Wang Shangcai look for trouble? He had done so two or three times since the clinic opened.
The first two times didn’t make much of a splash, so I thought the third time would be successful.
Unexpectedly, Yan Qing was not in the clinic at that time, and was taken over by a doctor named Xun Lu.
No one knew who Xun Lu was, but his methods were amazing. He investigated the whole story clearly. If the old man hadn't died, he would have been able to find out that he was the mastermind behind the incident.
Wang Shangcai took a sip of tea and remained silent.
He had told this matter to Cuo Wubing before, hoping to ask them for help, but Cuo Wubing refused.
Alas, he could no longer think of any conspiracy, and now it seemed that he could only resort to an open strategy.
…
The next day, Bai Yuancheng brought the two sisters Bai Shuixing and Bai Shuiyue to the clinic.
Shi Yanqing was explaining the knowledge in the medical book to He Sumu at that time. When they heard the movement at the door, they all looked up.
Seeing that it was them, Shi Yanqing put down the book in his hand.
"Why are you here? Are you here to see a doctor?"
Bai Yuancheng is now considered half-disciple of Shi Yanqing. He has a day off today and wants to come to the clinic to find Shi Yanqing.
On the way, they met the Bai Shuixing sisters who were also looking for Shi Yanqing.
"Doctor Shi, Yueyue caught a cold and had a fever a few days ago, and only felt better the day before yesterday. I'd like to ask you to prescribe some medicine to help Yueyue recover."
Shi Yanqing nodded, she gently took Bai Shuiyue's hand and took her into the inner room for consultation.
Bai Shuixing also followed in.
Bai Yuancheng was a man and had no blood relationship with them, so he did not follow them in.
He walked up to He Sumu, looked at the medical book in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Little brother, was Doctor Shi teaching you medicine just now?"
He Sumu looked up at him when he heard this, but didn't say anything.
Bai Yuancheng was not embarrassed either. He walked to the wall and looked carefully at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall.
Most of the information above contains pictures, names, habits and uses of medicinal herbs. They are easy to understand and remember by the people.
