Chapter 18: Returning to see Dongmai
Guyang City has been very lively recently, with many outsiders gathering here, simply because the Yuanqing Sect has opened its doors to recruit more disciples.
The Yuanqing Sect has a history of thousands of years. In the past, it served as a pioneer in suppressing demons and contributed valuable combat power to the battle to eliminate demons.
More than a decade ago, the sect suffered heavy losses due to external forces, and the former headmaster disappeared. After his master, the Immortal Wuwei, came out of seclusion to quell the disaster, he passed the position of headmaster to his grandson, the former headmaster's eldest disciple, and gave him the Taoist name Shangqing.
It was thought that the Yuanqing Sect would decline, but unexpectedly, under the leadership of Shangqing Zhenren, it gradually recovered.
Another reason for the excitement was that the Lord of Guyang City had widely posted notices to seek medical treatment for his wife.
First of all, the reason why Guyangcheng is famous far and wide, apart from the Yuan and Qing schools, is because of its status as a country within a country.
The Lord of Guyang City came from the royal family. When he was young, he was also an elegant and talented man. It is said that the throne should have been inherited by the Lord of Guyang, but for some reason, he gave it to his eldest half-brother, the current emperor.
It is rare for a legitimate son to give way to another son since ancient times!
After the emperor ascended the throne, out of gratitude for the brotherhood between the two, he granted him the title of lord of a city, which would be inherited from generation to generation.
At the city gate, Lingxiang looked at the two large notices and couldn't help but feel happy: "I'm sleepy, someone sends me a pillow; it's cold, someone sends me firewood." Then she took down the doctor recruitment notice.
The door of Youranju was wide open. Long Qi thought it was robbed and rushed in to check, but he found the house clean and tidy, as if it had just been cleaned.
Could it be that the thief has a special hobby of helping others clean?
Long Qi scratched his head and stepped into the backyard, only to see a woman in blue watering spiritual plants.
The woman had long black hair, willow-shaped eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a beautiful nose, thin lips, fair skin and a childlike face, and was dressed like a lady.
The woman also saw Long Qi, but saw that he was carrying a lot of bags and had a silly look on his face.
No wonder there are men's things in the yard. Lingxiang hasn't been seen for many days. At such a young age, she has hooked up with a man, and a silly fool at that.
"You... who are you? Why did you trespass into someone else's yard?" Long Qi asked.
Trespassing? Interesting, no one had ever said that to her.
"Come to think of it, some of this yard still belongs to me. Who are you? How dare you attack the owner?" The woman patted the dirt on her hands, stood up and asked.
What? Why have I never heard Lingxiang mention this before?
Just when Long Qi didn't know how to respond, Lingxiang came in from outside. When she saw the woman, she jumped forward.
"Maidong! Long time no see!" He said, pulling the hand of the woman in blue.
"You damn girl, you went out to hang out and left this mess to me, and even picked up a mistress outside. You're really hateful!" Maidong pretended to be angry and shook off Lingxiang's hand.
"Look at what you said. Isn't this a joint venture between you and me? Why should I leave it to you? Besides, I went out to do some serious business, not to fool around. Look, I brought you a gift." Lingxiang said, pulling Long Qi to her side, taking out a brocade box from the package and opening it, which turned out to be various exquisite pastries.
The pastries were intricate in pattern and attractive in color, which Maidong had never seen before.
If she had to say the two things she loves most in her life, one is money and the other is food.
When Maidong was first picked up by her master, she was the biggest eater among all the disciples in the room. Even the male disciples couldn't eat as much as she did. But her master only had her as his only female disciple, and he doted on her like his own daughter. Whenever he came back from his travels, he would always bring her lots of snacks.
Those senior brothers also like this only little junior sister, and each of them treats her like a real brother.
There is a reason why Maidong is loved. He is cute and very sensible. He does not take advantage of the love of his master and senior brothers to be arrogant. Instead, he always considers them in everything.
As for who her master is, it is the Yuanqing sect's elder in charge of punishment, Master Fuyin.
Although Master Fuyin is in charge of the Xing Yuanqing Sect, he is kind and tolerant, and talking with him is always a pleasant experience.
"If you're being nice to someone without any reason, you're either a traitor or a thief." Mai Dong grabbed the brocade box and put a small piece of cake into his mouth. It was really delicious, with a delicate texture and a sweet aroma. "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Hey~ Look at what you said, just based on our relationship, would I be such a cunning person?" Lingxiang said this, but took out the medical recruitment notice that had just been removed from the city gate from her sleeve.
Long Qi rolled his eyes and thought to himself: It will only get worse.
"The reward is 10,000 taels of silver!" Maidong exclaimed, but he didn't read a word of the content above.
If Lingxiang couldn't see Maidong today, she would go find her. The reason was that Maidong's medical skills were all inherited from Fuyin, and she was much better than Lingxiang.
People who practice cultivation will have some knowledge of medical principles. The art of incantation is not entirely deceptive, but its reputation has been ruined by some bad people.
Master Fuyin came from a medical family. Before he entered Taoism, his medical skills were already well-known. However, after going through some things and seeing through the world, he entered Taoism, but he never forgot his identity as a doctor.
Everyone has a past.
Not long after, the guards from the city lord's mansion came to report that two girls were coming with medical certificates to treat the lady. When housekeeper Zhao went out to take a look, he saw two girls squatting beside the stone lions at the door, teasing something.
He mentally cursed the guard's family tree: They were so clueless, reporting all sorts of people to him. The City Lord's wife was seriously ill and in a coma, and the City Lord was indifferent to external affairs. He had to take care of all the family affairs, and these good-for-nothings couldn't even be spared.
It's obvious that this kind of person is trying to get free food and drinks under the pretext of treating his wife's illness. Just kick him out. Why bother him?
"Ahem!" The butler feigned a cough. "Are you two doctors here to visit the lady?"
The disdainful tone and the arrogant attitude made Maidong frown.
"You are the city master, right?" Lingxiang stood up and said with a fake smile, "I'm so sorry. We are not doctors, so I have to trouble you to come out."
Upon hearing this, Housekeeper Zhao was immediately enraged. "If you're not a doctor, why are you here causing trouble?! Yunying is a woman, unmarried, and not only do you dare to show your face in public, but you also dare to come to the City Lord's Mansion and commit fraud! Come on! Get these two people out of the street!"
Just as the guards were about to drive them away, Mai Dong immediately shouted, "Who dares to touch the Yuanqing faction?"
This shout mobilized some of his internal energy, and the sound was so loud that it stunned the butler and the guards.
Yuanqing Sect? The butler suddenly realized.
"Oh my! Didn't we explain this just now?" Lingxiang narrowed her eyes and smiled, "This is the closed disciple of Master Fuyin, the elder in charge of punishments of the Yuanqing Sect, and I am the shopkeeper of Youranju."
When Butler Zhao heard this, his eyes were as big as bells in shock.
The City Lord had personally gone to the Yuanqing Sect to pay a visit to Master Fuyin, but the mountain gates were closed, so he couldn't see him. He had wanted to go again recently to invite him, but unexpectedly, this closed disciple came to visit. And who in Guyang City doesn't know the fame of Youran Residence? But...
"How do you prove that you are a disciple of Master Fuyin?" The city lord and his wife have a deep affection for each other, so they must not be careless. The two girls in front of them do not seem to be well versed in medicine.
"This cannot be proven, but..." Lingxiang glanced at Maidong, who took out a badge from his waist and threw it over.
"The name of the Yuanqing Sect is not something that anyone can use."
The butler took the badge and stumbled unexpectedly: this badge was as heavy as a stone and as cold as black ice.
It’s actually the Yuan and Qing school!
