Chapter 23 (It’s great to have points...)



Yue, the governor of Dechang County, sat at the table, staring straight at Lu Yong in front of him. His whole body was stretched straight, but his expression was relaxed, which was rare in recent days.

He just felt that today was a good day.

Since the flood, County Magistrate Yue has not had a good night's sleep, especially when his beloved youngest son Yue Yun also fell ill and was sent to Fengwei Mountain, it became even more difficult for him to fall asleep.

Even though he later learned that the child had survived and recovered, County Magistrate Yue still couldn't eat or sleep out of his fatherly love.

In addition, the immortal warned that the disease in the village must not be allowed to spread, and there was no communication between the inside and the outside. Therefore, even County Magistrate Yue had no way of truly grasping the specific situation inside, and could only hear some news from fragmentary legends.

But in the end, there was no definite news. He could not feel at ease until the epidemic was cleared up.

As a result, there were two pieces of good news today.

First, my son finally came home. Now he is right in front of me, with a rosy complexion and no sign of illness at all.

Then Doctor Lu came back to report, and the first thing he did was to tell him that the epidemic had been eradicated and there would be no more trouble.

The combination of the two made County Magistrate Yue feel dizzy again.

But before it was because I was too worried, and now it is because I am too happy.

Fortunately, Doctor Lu was an expert in acupuncture, and after one injection, County Magistrate Yue felt clear-headed.

However, he did not immediately order the lifting of the blockade. Instead, he called Lu Yong to inquire in detail. After learning that everything was indeed normal, he nodded and sent someone to go to the village to pass on the order.

Then, County Magistrate Yue looked at Lu Yong again.

Although he was concerned about his young son, he still asked about the process of treating the epidemic first.

Lu Yong then told the story of the village one by one, from how he sought immortal things in the fairyland, to the various measures he took in the village after coming down the mountain, and finally talked about how the whole village joined forces to fight the epidemic. He described every matter in great detail, and did not shy away from praising the fairyland.

Of course, Doctor Lu did not think that what he said was exaggerated, because in his eyes, Lang Yun’s existence itself was extraordinary, and no matter how he exaggerated it, it was not an exaggeration.

County Magistrate Yue was most concerned about one thing: "Is it true that the things Langyun gave us can help dispel the plague?"

Lu Yong said without hesitation: "Your Excellency, yes, the village has begun to recover and the people are all healthy and no longer have symptoms of typhoid fever. All this is because of the Langyun Fairyland."

County Magistrate Yue took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, looking at him again: "Where are the other doctors?"

Lu Yong replied: "Some are still in the village, and some have gone to other villages."

County Magistrate Yue was stunned: "He went somewhere else? Why?"

Doctor Lu, who had already been promoting epidemic prevention in the village, immediately pulled out a poster and attached a brochure and began on-site teaching.

As a result, both County Magistrate Yue and Doctor Lu were stunned.

When have they ever seen such pictures and such books?

Not to mention the unheard-of epidemic prevention measures mentioned above, the strange paper and magical ink alone are enough to shock them.

In response to this, Xiao Yueyun, who was watching from the side, said that he was used to it.

He has been in the fairyland these days, accompanying the doctors of Zhou State in the classroom every day. Compared with the shock he felt back then, he is much calmer now.

But Yue Yun still stopped fiddling with the Rubik's Cube and listened carefully again. After Lu Yong finished speaking, the young master said, "Dad, I think the truth taught by the immortal is beneficial to the country and the people, and it should be spread out."

County Magistrate Yue finally came to his senses. After hearing what his child said, he nodded without thinking too much: "Yes, this matter should not only be announced to the whole county, but also to the king."

As he said that, he looked at Lu Yong.

Lu Yong handed over the posters and brochures without hesitation.

He was a qualified doctor, so naturally he would not keep anything to himself. He wanted to let all the doctors know about it now so that he could save lives in the future.

Of course, he still had a copy of the poster.

Don’t ask, the answer is that you have to burn three incense sticks a day when you go back.

Afterwards, County Magistrate Yue carefully looked through the atlas and was about to write a memorial to King Zhou. Seeing this, the grandfather and grandson of the Lu family tactfully bowed and said goodbye.

After they left, Yue Yun whispered, "When I came here, I could vaguely hear people talking about the fairyland outside, and it seemed to be slightly different from the fairyland itself."

County Magistrate Yue had also heard about this. "Most of these are just storytellers' fabricated guesses, and some are just personal conjectures. They're quite exaggerated and shouldn't be taken seriously." He paused. "However, I, your father, will not ban them. I'll even help them spread the name of the fairyland."

Although he was a military general, as the head of a county, he naturally understood the pros and cons.

A fairyland appeared outside Dechang County, which was an auspicious sign. Both Yue Yun and Lu Yong had witnessed the mystery of the fairyland, and they were afraid that they would have requests in the future.

But the fairyland is located in Fengwei Mountain and does not belong to any country.

If the Zhou Kingdom wanted to gain the favor of the immortals, it naturally had to be as pious as possible.

However, County Magistrate Yue quickly continued, "Besides, it's too late to ban these stories. The matter has already reached the emperor and spread to the capital."

Yue Yun was slightly stunned: "So fast?"

It may have taken quite a while from the beginning of the epidemic to the time of contact, but things related to the fairyland had only been going on for just over a month, yet they were able to spread directly to the capital city thousands of miles away.

County Magistrate Yue seemed to have anticipated this: "The most feared thing in this world is word of mouth. Rumors always seem to have wings and can spread faster than an 800-mile express train. However, this isn't a bad thing. It's better to let His Majesty know sooner rather than later."

Just then, a personal guard came in, bowed and handed over a letter.

County Magistrate Yue opened it and quickly frowned: "Someone from the capital is coming."

Xiao Yueyun sat up straight and said in a clear, youthful voice, "Who?"

County Magistrate Yue shook the letter in his hand and said, "The imperial physician's surname is Tan. I've heard of him. He's half-blind, but he's a skilled doctor. He's served the king for many years. He's probably here because of the plague and the legend of the fairyland."

Yue Yun tilted his head, thinking that a blind man who could become an imperial physician must have some unique skills, and asked, "What's wrong with that?"

County Magistrate Yue lowered his voice, "He's most famous, besides his superb medical skills, for his stubbornness. I'm afraid he came here not just to treat the epidemic."

He didn't say the rest of the words, but Yue Yun could guess that this old imperial physician was probably quite skeptical and curious, so he wanted to come and see it in person, and perhaps even want to compare.

In response to this, Yue Yun remained calm and was extremely confident in Lang Yun.

But County Magistrate Yue was not thinking about winning, but he realized that the matter had spread and he now had to give an explanation to King Zhou.

Fortunately, the epidemic village had been unsealed, so County Magistrate Yue immediately picked up his pen and began to write a memorial.

Yue Yun didn't say anything else. He just sat obediently at the low table beside him, put down the Rubik's Cube temporarily, and then took out something to write.

When County Magistrate Yue finished writing his memorial, Young Master Yue was still working hard.

This made County Magistrate Yue's eyes focus on it, and then he was slightly stunned: "How come I have never seen this pen before?"

Yue Yun subconsciously pressed the pen tip twice, making a "click-click" sound, and then raised his hand: "The immortal gave it to me, it's called a round... round bead..." Unable to remember it for a moment, he simply said, "It's called a fairy pen."

County Magistrate Yue: ...

He finally understood that the way Lu Yong and Yue Yun named things in the fairyland was the same.

Add a "Xian" in front of it and it becomes something new.

But County Magistrate Yue did not ask any further questions. He just looked at the words on the paper. Finding that he still did not recognize them, he asked, "What did you write?"

Yue Yun said seriously: "Homework, the math fairy left it to me."

County Magistrate Yue was delighted, thinking that his child had truly turned a disaster into a blessing and had been enlightened by an immortal.

I leaned over to take a look, and, well, I couldn’t understand it.

But he didn't find it strange. He was just a mortal, so it was normal that he couldn't understand it.

Then, County Magistrate Yue sighed and said, "The Immortal of Mathematics, this title is very profound. Just hearing it, you know that he is an immortal. You must study hard."

Yue Yun nodded in agreement.

On the other hand, in Langyun, the teachers and students had no idea that they were about to become famous in the Great Zhou.

At this moment, all their attention is on their mobile phones.

With the completion of the [Save 200/200] mission, the system begins to distribute rewards.

Not only did the medical school's points soar, but chemical engineering, design, art, and other departments involved also benefited and saw their scores increase.

The students also found that the system's APP began to update automatically.

After the update, the basic functions have not changed much, but the redemption list has been lengthened a lot, and many new items have been added, including raw materials and daily necessities, which are arranged according to the number of points required.

This stimulated the desire to shop in many people, and the school was very lively for a few days.

And what is placed on the table in the student union meeting room at this moment is the new product - Fat House Happy Water.

Everyone has a bottle, which is a great luxury.

Tang Xinyang, who had just walked in, was a little surprised: "Who is so generous?"

Another vice chairman, Shao Zhu, who had arrived early, gestured with his fingers and said, "Xia Ying will treat us."

Tang Xinyang looked over and saw Xia Yinghui giving him a smile that was not concealed at all.

Okay, having money is great.

Tang Xinyang didn't hesitate at all. He unscrewed the lid and took a big gulp. He burped comfortably and then looked at Shao Zhu: "You don't want to drink?"

Meanwhile, Shao Zhu was lying on the table, howling, "Save it. I'm sore now. I'll talk to you when I'm not sore anymore."

Xia Ying was originally sorting out materials. Upon hearing this, he raised his head and asked, "Why are you so jealous?"

Shao Zhu raised his head and said with a bitter face, "How can you medical school understand the hardships we civil engineers face? Even the foreign language department can get involved in dialect research on Qi and Zhou, but we civil engineers have been doing nothing but building walls lately. We're practically on the verge of eating dirt."

Upon hearing this, Xia Ying patted his shoulder and said, "Then I was right to give you Coke."

Shao Zhu was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Xia Ying: "It will save you from choking on the dirt."

Shao Zhu: ...

Bah! Bah! Bah!

Tang Xinyang smiled and said, "Opportunities come to those who are prepared. Look at the Mathematics Department. They found the right time to take the initiative. You can try it too."

Xia Ying nodded and said, "From waiting for tasks to looking for tasks, turning passivity into initiative."

Tang Xinyang also wanted to continue speaking, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he burped.

He screwed the cap of the Coke on with a bit of embarrassment, and Shao Zhu asked, "Why don't you drink it?"

Tang Xinyang smiled brightly in return: "I'm saving it for my girlfriend."

Shao Zhu: ...

Very good, today's lunch is dog food and northwest wind, I will definitely be full.

At this moment, someone came running over and said, "Someone's coming outside. Judging from their attire, they must be from the Zhou Kingdom. They've brought a lot of things with them and are almost at the door. Oh, and it seems the doctor I studied with at school is here too."

Xia Ying has developed a keen sense of tasks and points these days. At this moment, he stood up without hesitation and walked out the door.

Under normal circumstances, Shao Zhu would definitely not get involved in something that was obviously unrelated to his college.

But this time he caught up quickly.

It can be seen that every native is a mission launcher. If you follow them, you might have a chance.

Soon, they arrived at the school gate.

At this time, the door was open, and several young doctors were standing outside, with the things they carried on their backs.

Seeing Xia Ying, everyone's eyes immediately lit up and they bowed and saluted: "Greetings, Immortal."

Xia Ying had a lot of contact with them, so he nodded naturally at this moment: "What are you doing here?"

Lü Yong, the leader, took a step forward, bowed again, and said, "Your Majesty, we are here to announce the good news."

Then he talked about the lifting of the lockdown of the epidemic village.

Xia Ying had already seen from the system that the completion of the task marked the end of the epidemic, and the lifting of the lockdown was reasonable, so at this time he just said calmly: "I understand."

Lu Yong continued, "The prefect has already prepared generous gifts. We went ahead and brought gifts from the villagers."

Xia Ying's first reaction was that they were going to send him candles again, and he subconsciously said, "We don't need them..."

Lu Yong opened one of the bundles and said, "The villagers are simple and honest, and we haven't saved much money. All we can give to the fairyland are these bacon and eggs, as well as live chickens and ducks. Oh, and a dozen piglets. I hope the fairyland will accept them."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Xia Ying cautiously. After all, what County Magistrate Zhou had sent before were all gold, silver and jade articles, all of which were extremely valuable. But now they were just some worthless agricultural and sideline products, which looked a bit embarrassing, so he was afraid that the immortal would dislike them.

But Xia Ying's voice suddenly stopped, and Shao Zhu, who followed him, secretly poked him in the back.

Then, Xia Ying's eyes moved slightly, and then he changed the subject, his expression serious: "Of course we won't despise it. Since this is the villagers' sincere heart, we will accept it."

Lu Yong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then smiled and said sincerely, "The immortals are so kind." Then he paused and said, "We have come here not only to thank the immortals for their cultivation, but also to ask a favor."

Xia Ying looked at him and said, "Go ahead."

Lu Yong took a deep breath and bowed deeply: "I only ask the immortal to allow us to continue our studies and spread the immortal's medical skills to benefit the world."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xia Ying and Shao Zhu both felt a shock in their pockets.

They knew it was a task prompt without even looking at it. Obviously, the system was very happy with these students under their command.

The two of them thought similarly.

Shao Zhu whispered, "Can you teach me?"

Xia Ying also replied softly: "Yes, the teacher mentioned it before. From what I know about them, there haven't been many famous doctors in this world. Even the famous doctors are at a relatively elementary stage. Students from Traditional Chinese Medicine can come and teach them."

Shao Zhu took a moment to glance at his phone and said in surprise, "The majors mentioned here aren't just your medical school. How come there's also information about the School of Education?"

Xia Ying said calmly: "They don't know simplified Chinese characters."

Shao Zhu: ...Okay.

But in his heart, Shao Zhu felt a little lost and felt that he had come here for nothing.

However, Lu Yong could not hear their conversation, but seeing the other party's expression, he thought that what he asked for had made the immortal embarrassed.

But since he knew there was a way to save more people, he would not give up easily. He hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Immortal. We usually live outside and will definitely not disturb your peace."

As a result, before Xia Ying could react, Shao Zhu's eyes lit up: "You want to live outside?"

Lu Yong replied respectfully, "Yes, Immortal, don't worry, we can do it ourselves..."

Shao Zhu said directly: "I don't think you can do it."

Lu Yong: ...Ah?

Shao Zhu controlled his excited heart and trembling hands, and said with a serious face, "Building a house is not an easy task, especially in the mountains. You doctors... doctors, each one thinner than the other, look unprofessional at first glance."

Lu Yong blushed: "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Immortal."

Shao Zhu didn't mean to laugh at him, but instead said with a smile: "In that case, let's build the house."

Lu Yong was stunned, and the other doctors were also stunned and did not come back to their senses.

After a long while, they bowed again with tears in their eyes, thinking in their hearts that it was so touching that the immortals had even considered this for them.

From now on, they will definitely burn three incense sticks a day and become the most devout believers of Langyun Fairyland!

Shao Zhu was in tears in his heart.

Those who work in the construction industry will finally have their spring!

Afterwards, he trotted back to inform his classmates of the good news, and soon began to prepare for the design and construction.

While the academy was in full swing, on the other side, Zhou Kingdom's imperial physician Tan O had already arrived in Dechang County.

At this time, County Magistrate Yue was having people prepare generous gifts to be sent to the fairyland, both to express gratitude for curing the epidemic and to strengthen relations with the fairyland. He was afraid that there would be a time when he would be asked to go there again in the future.

As a result, just as I loaded the gifts into the car, I heard that the imperial physician had arrived.

Although the other party is just a doctor, he serves the king. I am afraid that his visit to the border county this time was also approved by King Zhou, so we cannot neglect him.

So County Magistrate Yue prepared to invite him to his house for a gathering to welcome him.

But Tan O had no intention of eating or drinking.

He was tall and slender, and although his eyes were covered with a white cloth, one could still see that he had a handsome appearance.

When he met County Magistrate Yue, he didn't say much politely and said directly, "I came here because of the rumors."

As soon as these words were spoken, County Magistrate Yue frowned slightly.

Nowadays in Dechang County, anyone who mentions Langyun Fairyland is particularly respectful and regards those stories as just legends.

Tan O used the word "rumor", which clearly showed that he did not believe it.

I think it is because the capital is too far away from the border counties, and the legends are too mysterious. In addition, when they are passed on by word of mouth, there will always be exaggerations or fabrications, which naturally makes people more and more suspicious.

Unfortunately, when this person left the capital, his memorial had not yet been delivered, so I'm afraid he didn't know the specific details.

So, County Magistrate Yue wanted to clarify, but Tan O said first, "Sir, I have come here on the king's orders to see the fairyland for myself. I hope you can lead the way."

Since they have already brought the King of Zhou to the table, I can’t say much.

County Magistrate Yue smiled amiably and said, "It just so happens that I am going to visit the fairyland. Why not have Dr. Tan come with me?"

Tan O nodded, saluted County Magistrate Yue by relying on the sound of his voice, and then was helped back to the carriage by a young attendant.

After giving Tan O a cushion to lean on and helping him sit, the attendant whispered, "Sir, it seems that County Magistrate Yue has a deep faith in the fairyland, and it's not entirely without reason. Could the legends be true?"

Tan O, however, had a blank expression on his face: "I don't believe in ghosts or gods. Whether it's true or not, we'll know it once we find out."

The follower stopped talking and stood by obediently, his eyes full of curiosity.

At this time, the carriage started moving, and the group left Dechang County and headed towards Fengwei Mountain.

Because some of the personal guards had been here before, County Magistrate Yue also knew that he had to come down and cross the mountain on foot.

Tan O was not feeling well, so his personal guards carried him forward, and his entourage followed closely beside him.

After passing through the dense forest, before County Magistrate Yue could even open his mouth, he heard bursts of noise.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak!”

Tan O has been blind for some time. Without vision, his hearing has become extremely sharp.

Now his ears twitched slightly, and he asked, "What's going on ahead?"

The followers were stunned.

It's not just because of the high walls and the pavilions full of glazed windows, but also because not far away, a group of people are busy sawing wood with strange tools.

Although the trees blocked the view and made it difficult to see clearly, it was clear that they were holding more than just ordinary saws.

It's a saw that turns on its own...

Automatic without wind.

Isn’t this the magic weapon used by the immortals in the previous legend about Langyun!

Seeing no response, Tan O frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

After a long while, the attendant stammered, "Sir, I...I seem to have really seen a god."
