Chapter 56: The medical fairy's father's martial arts are invincible in the world!
When Little Fuling heard what the Qingyang County Magistrate said, she tilted her head slightly and looked at him and said, "I know Qingyang County. Daddy and Master have treated people in Qingyang County."
The magistrate of Qingyang County was slightly startled: "Mr. Li did cure the plague for everyone in Qingyang County, but your master is..." He only knew that the plague that the Five Poisons Taoist had given to the people of Qingyang County was cured by Mr. Li, but he didn't know that there were other people's contributions as well.
Little Fuling walked lightly in front to lead the way for them: "My master's name cannot be mentioned. My master said that he is a low-key person and fame is nothing to him. But the plague in Qingyang County was indeed solved by my father and master together."
Gradually they met local villagers. Every villager greeted little Fuling warmly when they saw her and treated her even closer than their own daughter.
The villagers who had greeted Xiao Fuling looked curiously at the Qingyang County Magistrate and other outsiders, but did not ask any questions. Since Mr. Li became famous outside, many outsiders came to visit Mr. Li in their village, so they were used to it.
Anyway, Mr. Li’s guests will have their own little Fuling to bring to Mr. Li.
Although the magistrate of Qingyang County is a scholar, he is not an ordinary scholar who is powerless. He has also practiced martial arts. After all, in this world where there are many martial arts masters, if the court officials do not have the ability to protect themselves, they may be beheaded by some knight who claims to be a killer of corrupt officials one day.
Therefore, most court officials either practiced some martial arts themselves or hired experts to protect them.
The magistrate of Qingyang County also has an extraordinary family background. Not only has he practiced martial arts himself, he is also protected by experts.
The Qingyang County Magistrate, who was skilled in martial arts, had a keen eye and saw that almost all of the villagers passing by were martial artists, with extremely stable lower bodies and strong limbs. Perhaps not many of them had developed internal strength, but even the elderly walked steadily and were in good health. It could be said that everyone in this village was a soldier.
After realizing this, the magistrate of Qingyang County became more and more curious about the famous Mr. Li.
Xiao Fuling led the Qingyang County Magistrate and others to a blue brick and tile house and stopped. The blue brick and tile house covered a large area, but it looked ordinary, neither gorgeous nor luxurious, just an ordinary farmhouse.
The only place with a bit of wildness is probably the walls outside the house are covered with green ivy. Looking at the lush greenery, one has a feeling of living in a leisurely countryside.
Little Fuling walked straight forward, opened the door and said, "This is my home. My father is at home."
The Qingyang County Magistrate knew that he had something to ask of others, so he was able to maintain a proper attitude. He did not follow Xiao Fuling into the door casually, but instead bowed to Xiao Fuling and said, "Miss Li, please report to Mr. Li that Qingyang County Magistrate Tong Zheng wants to see you!"
Little Fuling looked back at him and said with a smile, "My father knew that someone was going to visit him, so he told me in advance that if I met someone looking for him when I was playing at the entrance of the village, he would take them in to see him. So Uncle Tong, come in with me."
Qingyang County Magistrate Tong Zheng then followed Xiao Fuling into the gate.
The guards and servants following him wanted to go in together, but were stopped by Xiao Fuling: "My father only said to take you in, and no one else around you is allowed to go in."
Tong Zheng waved his hand, signaling his guards and servants to stay outside.
The expert guard sent by the Tong family to protect Tong Zheng looked at him with some concern, and wanted to follow him to protect him, but was stopped by him again.
Tong Zheng knew very well that with Mr. Li's martial arts skills, his guard was no match for him. If Mr. Li had ill intentions towards him and wanted to attack him, the guard would only be one more person dead even if he was by his side.
Tong Zheng followed Xiao Fuling in alone calmly.
The moment he stepped through the door, Tong Zheng immediately felt something unusual inside the house, as if even the air had become fresher than outside, and breathing felt very comfortable.
The moment he entered the door, he saw a very spacious yard. In the middle of the yard, there was a huge jujube tree, which was more than twice as tall as the one at the entrance of the village. The tree was full of bright red jujubes. The fragrance of the jujubes filled the entire yard, making Tong Zheng, who had just entered the door, feel salivating. He swallowed subconsciously and stared at the bright red jujubes on the tree with some drooling mouth.
After he came to his senses from his greed, he realized that something was wrong. When he was standing outside the door looking at the house, it seemed that the house did not cover such a large area. There was also such a tall jujube tree, which could not be blocked by the height of the wall. However, when he looked from the outside, he did not see any shadow of the jujube tree.
This bizarre phenomenon made Tong Zheng feel confused and uncertain.
Before he came to this village, he thought that the so-called Mr. Li was a hermit with excellent medical skills and martial arts. However, after seeing the jujube tree that had become a spirit at the entrance of the village and then witnessing this strange phenomenon in Mr. Li's house, he couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the Mr. Li he was looking for was not a hermit but an immortal?
These methods are not something that ordinary martial arts masters can do. Only the legendary gods have such bizarre and powerful methods.
When Tong Zheng was staring at the jujube tree in front of him, wondering if it had also become a spirit, a little girl who was a few years older than Xiao Fuling, about nine years old, came over and said to Xiao Fuling with a smile, "Miss Fuling, the master and the master have been waiting for you to bring guests back."
Little Fuling walked over with a smile and held the girl's hand: "Sister Sanqi, I walked very fast. I brought the guest back as soon as I found him."
The girl Sanqi looked at Tong Zheng, bowed slightly to him, and said, "Please follow me, sir."
Tong Zheng followed Sanqi and Xiao Fuling through a long corridor and came to a garden.
It would be better to call this a medicine garden rather than a flower garden, because the flowers and grasses planted here can all be used as medicine, and there are also various other medicinal herbs. Even though Tong Zheng came from an extraordinary family, he only knew some of these herbs, and he didn't even know the rest of the herbs that looked unusual.
However, Tong Zheng's real attention was still on the handsome young man who was embraced by Xiao Fuling, because Xiao Fuling called the young man "Daddy".
At this time, the young man was sitting at the stone table in the pavilion, leisurely playing chess with an old man with a youthful face and white hair beside him.
Tong Zheng hurried forward and bowed to the young man with great respect, saying, "I am Tong Zheng, the magistrate of Qingyang County. I am honored to meet Mr. Li and this old man. I came to visit you to thank you for saving the lives of the people of Qingyang County and to invite you to settle in Qingyang County."
Tong Zheng was a straightforward man who spoke directly to the point and did not like to beat around the bush. He told them all the resettlement benefits he could offer as the magistrate of Qingyang County, and then looked at the two of them expectantly.
Si Yuan held the little Fuling who was lying in his arms and acting like a spoiled child in one hand, and placed a chess piece on the chessboard in the other hand. Hearing Tong Zheng's words, he smiled faintly and looked up at the divine doctor Yu opposite him: "Mr. Yu, do you want to move?"
Doctor Yu hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, I don't want to move. I live very well here, and no one can make me move away." He insisted on staying here only because he was throwing a tantrum, and he would never move away even if you spanked him.
Si Yuan looked at Doctor Yu's naughty look and couldn't help laughing.
Since Si Yuan decided to settle in the small mountain village where the original owner grew up a few years ago, he began to transform his living environment.
He helped the villagers get rich, renovated his own residence, and even set up a spirit gathering formation for his own residence.
Although the spiritual energy in this small world is thin, it does not mean that there is none at all. The spirit gathering array is still effective, so the place where Si Yuan lives has higher spiritual energy than the outside world.
Si Yuan's residence was renovated based on the original owner's house, so there were not many changes. It was just slightly expanded and some of the house layout was changed according to Feng Shui.
The original owner planted two trees in the yard, one was a jujube tree and the other was also a jujube tree.
After renovating his residence, Si Yuan did not move the two jujube trees and left them in the yard. However, perhaps because they lived in this place with rich spiritual energy day after day, and Si Yuan liked to practice and teach his daughter under the trees, he gave the two jujube trees an opportunity and allowed them to develop some spiritual intelligence.
In this small world, they can only be considered to be spiritual, not intelligent, let alone demons or spirits. At best they could be considered as spirit trees. Upon seeing this, Si Yuan began to help them transform. Seeing that they were close to the fire attribute, he transformed the two jujube trees into jujube trees with fire attributes, and the fire spirit dates they produced were also of fire attributes.
The two spiritual jujube trees are big absorbers of spiritual energy. Si Yuan himself felt that the spiritual energy was not enough, so he moved the jujube tree that was relatively poorly developed to the entrance of the village and let it serve as the guardian tree of the village. He only kept the one that was better developed in his own yard.
Only by reducing what is insufficient and supplementing what is in excess, abandoning underdeveloped spiritual trees and focusing on cultivating well-developed spiritual trees can we obtain fruits of better quality.
What Si Yuan didn't expect was that the jujube tree he had given up cultivating, after being moved to the entrance of the village, actually attracted the unknown doctor and master named Xiao Fuling in the original plot.
This miraculous doctor said his surname was Yu, and his full name had long been forgotten as time went by and things and people changed. It seemed that he was a man with a lot of stories.
However, Si Yuan didn't care whether other people had stories or not, nor was he interested in exposing the scars on other people's hearts. He just called him a miracle doctor.
When Doctor Yu saw the Fire Spirit Date Tree at the entrance of the village, he was amazed at how magical it was and was so shocked by its medicinal effects that he insisted on staying to study it.
Later, I learned from the villagers that this jujube tree was transplanted from the Li family. It was originally an ordinary jujube tree, but was later cultivated by Li Siyuan into this magical jujube tree that can bear fiery red dates.
Doctor Yu immediately approached Si Yuan, wanting to ask him how he cultivated this magical date tree.
When Si Yuan learned that the young medicine boy beside Doctor Yu was named Huang Bai, he guessed that Doctor Yu was most likely the master of the cannon fodder female supporting role Fuling in the original plot.
So Si Yuan reluctantly let the divine doctor Yu stay.
After seeing the taller and more potent Fire Spirit Date tree in the Li family's courtyard, Doctor Yu refused to leave and did everything he could to stay in front of Si Yuan, just like a naughty boy who didn't care about his face at all. He even gave all his belongings and inherited medical books to Si Yuan, just to ask him to stay.
Si Yuan was completely confused by Doctor Yu's move.
In order to stay, Doctor Yu saw the one-year-old little Fuling and insisted on accepting little Fuling as his apprentice, saying, "This child named Fuling is just right for learning medicine from me. I promise to teach her everything I know. Brother Li, just rest assured and give your daughter to me as my apprentice."
Si Yuan wondered if this was the irresistible nature of the original plot? After going through so many twists and turns, little Fuling finally got a father who was a miracle doctor.
This would be very good for little Fuling, and the medical skills of Doctor Yu were really superb. Although Si Yuan also understood pharmacology and medical theories, the pharmacology and medical theories he learned in the world of immortal cultivation were inevitably not suitable for this small world. The medical skills of Doctor Yu, the local indigenous doctor, would also be helpful to him, so Si Yuan agreed.
After Doctor Yu settled down, he was very excited to study the Fire Spirit Jujube Tree every day. As time went by, he gradually realized that it was not the Fire Spirit Jujube Tree that was special, but Si Yuan himself was special, and Si Yuan's residence was also special.
Doctor Yu was a very sensible person. He asked nothing and said nothing. He just silently asked Si Yuan to open up a medicinal field in the garden to grow medicinal herbs.
The medicinal herbs grown in such a place with rich spiritual energy are much more effective than those grown in the outside world. One-year-old ginseng can be as effective as twenty-year-old ginseng in the outside world.
Doctor Yu felt like a mouse that had fallen into a rice jar and was extremely happy every day.
When little Fuling grew up and showed his talent in medicine, Doctor Yu felt like he had found a treasure. Not only could he live in such a good place like the Li family with rich spiritual energy, but he also had a talented apprentice. It was so smart of him to stay and get a place to live.
Every day when Dr. Yu wakes up, he secretly gives himself a thumbs up for his cleverness back then.
Because everyone in the family except little Fuling is a man, Doctor Yu felt that it would be inconvenient to wait for little Fuling to grow up. So when he was practicing medicine outside, he met a girl who sold herself to bury her father. He bought her, named her Sanqi, and arranged for her to take care of little Fuling.
However, although Sanqi said she was a maid who took care of little Fuling, in fact, she was just like a playmate, and no one really treated her as an ordinary maid.
As for the matter in Qingyang County, Si Yuan heard that a plague had broken out in Qingyang County. The nearest county to the mountain village where they lived was Qingyun County, but Qingyun County was adjacent to Qingyang County, and since a plague had broken out in Qingyang County, Qingyun County would not be much better off.
Si Yuan went to Qingyang County with Doctor Yu to solve the plague, but they found out that it was not an ordinary plague, but someone had deliberately poisoned the people. The poison had the same symptoms as the plague and was also contagious. It was called the plague poison. The person who poisoned the people was none other than the infamous Five Poison Taoist in the martial arts world.
Si Yuan and Divine Doctor Yu worked out a method to detoxify the poison together. Divine Doctor Yu wanted to stay in the Li family to study medical skills and medicinal herbs and didn't want to become famous at all. So at his request, he only announced to the public that the plague poison was cured by Si Yuan alone.
So the main culprit, the Five Poison Taoist, started to cause trouble for Si Yuan, and his evil accomplices, the Eighteen Bandits of the Shao Family, also came along. These 19 villains, who neither the righteous nor the evil sects could do anything about, were defeated by Si Yuan.
Then there was the personal visit from the famous Mr. Li, the Qingyang County Magistrate Tong Zheng.
The plague in Qingyang County was mentioned briefly in the original plot. That was many years later, when the male protagonist Bai Junting and the female protagonist Ye Qingqing were traveling around the world and encountered two of the Eighteen Bandits of the Shaw Brothers causing trouble. These two villains used the poison that the Five Poison Taoists once used to harm people and were caught by the male and female protagonists.
But that was more than ten years ago. By then, no one knew what had happened to the Eighteen Shaw Brothers. The eighteen brothers were scattered, with only two left to survive, doing evil in secret.
The Five Poisons Taoist had also died long ago at the hands of the Demon Cult's leader.
In the original plot, there was only one sentence describing the plague poison in Qingyang County: [Bai Junting explained to Ye Qingqing: "This poison is not an ordinary poison, but a deadly poison left by the Five Poison Taoist who once massacred the city."]
The "city" in "massacre in the city" in the original text should refer to the county seat of Qingyang County.
According to the original fate, Doctor Yu was led to the original owner's village early on because of the massacre of the village by Prince Duan's assassins. After rescuing the little Fuling who survived by chance, he took the little Fuling away and lived in seclusion elsewhere.
Naturally, since Doctor Yu did not stay, he would not have had time to save the people of Qingyang County who were infected by the plague of the Five Poison Taoist. It is very likely that Qingyang County would have been massacred and turned into an empty city.
However, if Doctor Yu had managed to cure the people of Qingyang County in the original plot, he might not have lived to see little Fuling grow up. After all, Doctor Yu was a skilled doctor but his martial arts were average. How could he possibly be a match for the Eighteen Bandits of the Shao Clan who were around the Five Poisons Taoist?
If Doctor Yu encountered the Eighteen Bandits of the Shao Clan and the Five Poison Taoists who came to him for revenge like Si Yuan did, he would probably die at their hands.
Si Yuan was a man of great skill and courage. The Eighteen Bandits of the Shao Clan and the Five Poison Taoists dared to cause trouble near where he lived and even wanted to massacre the city. He didn't bother to care what conspiracies they had and simply used force to overwhelm them and killed them all. Naturally, the conspiracy collapsed.
As for whether becoming famous will bring trouble, the same old saying applies: if you are strong enough, you can overwhelm others with force, and all conspiracies and tricks are paper tigers that will collapse on their own.
Now, facing the Qingyang County Magistrate Tong Zheng's invitation to relocate, Si Yuan also refused after Divine Doctor Yu refused: "County Magistrate Tong should also understand that Divine Doctor Yu and I are used to living here and don't want to move, so please go back."
In fact, after Tong Zheng stepped into the gate of the Li family and felt the living environment inside the Li family, he knew that his plan to ask Si Yuan to move would not work. He just mentioned it and did his best, so he was not surprised to be rejected.
After all, if it were him, he would not be willing to give up such a good living environment and move to a county town where a plague had just occurred and many people had died.
Tong Zheng was not disappointed. He did not argue after being rejected. Instead, he respectfully took out an exquisite brocade box from his sleeve and handed it to them: "This is a thank you gift from Mr. Li and Dr. Yu for saving the people of Qingyang County. It is just a small token of my gratitude. It is completely incomparable to your immeasurable deeds of saving lives, but please accept it."
Since we can’t invite people over, let’s build good relationships first. Tong Zheng was willing to spend a lot of money to give a generous gift.
