The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

No, I can't walk anymore after eating, this is not a spy, this is a foodie.

"Daozhang, why are you going to the Imperial Hospital?"

Jin Shui didn't know why, but he still took the basket, followed Zhong Wen out of the gate of the inn, and walked towards the West Market.

"Buy some bacon or something, and send some gifts to the Imperial Hospital, as a teacher's gift."

Zhong Wen responded while walking forward.

"Daoist, who do you go to the Tai Hospital to worship as your teacher? Are you going to study medicine?"

It was only then that Jin Shui understood why Zhong Wen was going to the Tai Hospital. However, in his understanding, what kind of medicine did this little Daoist go to study? With such a good skill, what is the use of studying medicine?Why don't you take a position somewhere, be an official, that's the prestige.

"Well, study medicine."

After Zhong Wen finished responding, he didn't speak any more.

Jin Shui didn't ask any more questions, and the two of them went to the West Market in such a quiet manner, selected some things they needed as a teacher, and bought some.

As for how many, Zhong Wen didn't have a count, so he only made six copies for the time being.

The things are considered to be finished, so naturally I have to go to the imperial hospital in the imperial city.

Half an hour later, the two came to the imperial city, this time they were not stopped, but entered the imperial city smoothly.

Zhong Wen was still wondering, just because he came here yesterday, this time he won't check his identity anymore?

But he didn't know that when Zhong Wen and the others walked over, Jin Shui, who was following behind him, had already shown his badge to those soldiers, otherwise, how could he let you enter the imperial city so smoothly?

"Nine Poems of the Poor Way, I am here to study medicine at the Imperial Hospital. All imperial physicians, please don't hide your clumsiness."

After Zhong Wen and the others arrived at the imperial hospital, they reported their names, and after they showed the signboard given by Li Zhong of the Zongzheng Temple, the people in the imperial hospital began to look like they were going to offer sacrifices to Zhong Wen.

"The little Taoist is being polite, how can we hide our clumsiness, I'm afraid it will make you look down on the little Taoist."

An imperial physician surnamed Hong said politely to Zhong Wen.

"There is no meeting ceremony in Jiushou, this is a kindness, please accept it from all the imperial physicians."

Although the six gifts that Zhong Wen bought seemed quite a lot, they were actually relatively few.

There are so many imperial physicians in the imperial hospital, it is impossible to offer a gift one by one, it is just a symbolic gift to some leaders of the imperial hospital, besides, this is not a valuable thing.

"The Taoist priest is too polite."

Another Wei imperial physician also said politely.

Let’s talk about Miyagi at this time.

Li Shan took a group of his guards and patrolled around. After a while, a middle-aged man with the appearance of a school captain came to Li Shan.

"Commander."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Commander, the Taoist priest wanted to go to Wutong to pay a visit to Wang Chonglou today, but according to the commander's words, I asked Jin Shui to tell the Taoist priest everything, and then the Taoist priest said that Jin Shui should be by his side. Waiting, but now, I am going to the Tai Hospital again."

After the school captain saluted Li Shan, he spoke bluntly about Zhong Wen's affairs.

"Okay, I see, keep watching."

After Li Shan finished speaking, he took his imperial guards to continue patrolling, and the captain also left.

In Li Shan's eyes, Zhong Wen was a master.

But again, it is also a gunpowder that may explode at any time.

As the commander of the imperial guards, he had to ensure that Miyagi was safe, not to mention that there were not a few assassins who broke into Miyagi to assassinate them recently.

But in Li Shan's heart, he always wanted to know how such a young Taoist priest could develop such a skill.

Although I had doubts in my heart, this kind of doubt was just some doubts about Zhong Wen's master Li Daoling.

In the past two days, he, Li Shan, has also asked Li Shimin for proof, and he also knows who Li Daoling is, and likewise, he also knows who Zhong Wen is.

It's just that the staff just left yesterday for the identity check, so it's impossible to send it back so quickly. It is estimated that it will take more than half a month to really verify Zhong Wen's identity.

And Li Shan's vigilance is like this, in addition to being vigilant, it means making friends.

Tracking is his job, and making friends is to let Zhong Wen not get entangled with the Qingxu Temple and the Wutong Temple, so as not to get into trouble all over.

This good friendship also came from the deepest thoughts in his heart.

If he can make good friends with a Taoist leader who can be said to be close to a peerless master, then in the future, if something happens to him, he can also help him or something.

In Li Shan's eyes, a peerless master is like a god.

Even the three old fellows in Miyagi haven't reached that state yet, maybe they won't be able to reach that state in their lifetime.

Li Shan's master once told him that he was born when the world was in chaos.

If he hadn't come down the mountain to participate in this war, maybe at this time, he was still cultivating in the mountains with his master.

But now, after so many years, his master has long passed away, leaving only one letter.

What was written in the letter, only he, Li Shan, knew. In this world, no one knew.

Speaking of this list of peerless masters, Li Shan's master is one of them, but it may be the lowest level, and because of his age, he passed away.

But he, Li Shan, knows best in his heart that this peerless master is not something you can achieve with hard work, it requires talent and understanding to get in touch.

Li Shan, he can't.

If you use Taoist terms, Li Shan should be at the level of one foot in the Taoist school, unable to advance or retreat.

If Li Shan was a little younger, he might still have a chance, but at this time, Li Shan is already nearly 40 years old, and it is even more difficult to make further progress.

Just like Aoki of the Xuanzhen sect, one foot entered, but one foot was left outside, and he was still unable to penetrate the realm of this Tao.

It is said that Zhong Wen at this time was following an imperial doctor, and began to endorse in the medical library of the imperial hospital.

To study medicine, Zhong Wen's method is simple to say, that is to memorize all the medical books of this imperial hospital first, and then follow these imperial doctors to the clinic.

And this is too hospital, what are there so many things?

In addition to medicine, it is a medical book.

And that Jin Shui had no choice but to sit in a side room of the Imperial Hospital and wait quietly. He was bored and couldn't go anywhere.

For the next time, it is estimated that Zhong Wen will go on like this for a long time, maybe a month, maybe two months.

Why are there so many medical books in this hospital?It looks like it would take a long time.

Zhong Wen seemed to be flipping through the pages of medical books one after another, making the imperial physician who brought him think that Zhong Wen was looking for something.

"Daozhang, what do you want to find, let me help you find it."

The imperial physician was also polite, thinking that the Taoist priest must have searched and checked, and must have wanted to know about a certain disease, or a certain medicinal material.

"Prince doctor, you are polite, no need, I just look at it, you don't need to worry about me, I will stay in this medical library for a long time in the future, and I will also read more masterpieces of these famous masters."

When Zhong Wen was endorsing, he didn't like to be disturbed the most, so he hurriedly said something.

"Okay then, take your time with that Taoist priest, I won't accompany you."

The imperial doctor also knew what was going on, and then left the medical library, leaving behind the sound of Zhong Wen flipping through the books.

Zhong Wen, immersed in the voluminous medical books, does not know the concept of time at all.

From noon to now, the sky has not been very bright, and only a few officials approached the gate of the medical library.

"Daoist, Daoist, it's getting dark, we're going to lock the door, how about you come back tomorrow?"

An old official shouted to Zhong Wen who was still immersed in flipping through the books.

"Huh? It's dark? Well, I'll go now."

After Zhong Wen woke up, he quickly folded the book and put it in its original place, and he will recite it tomorrow.

Afterwards, he left the medical library, and at this time, there was no one in the imperial hospital except for a few on-duty imperial physicians and some officials.

Zhong Wen thought to himself, is this off work?I didn't see anyone coming to call me after get off work.

In fact, Zhong Wen didn't know that after the official duties of these imperial doctors were over, when they were released, they had already gone to the medical library to say hello to Zhong Wen, but at that time, Zhong Wen was immersed in memorizing medical books , did not hear it at all.

"Still sleeping, it's getting dark, let's go, go back."

When Zhong Wen came to the entrance of the Grand Hospital, he woke up Jin Shui from the side room at the door, and left the Grand Hospital with Jin Shui, who was still looking stupid.

Chapter 231 Letter from Home

"Daozhang, have you learned well? Why is it getting dark?"

Jin Shui just woke up, his eyes are still blurred, if Zhong Wen hadn't woken him up, he would probably be able to sleep in this hospital overnight.

There is a brazier to warm the house, and there is something to drink. Except for nothing to eat, everything else is basically available.

It's normal to sleep in such a room for one night.

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

Zhong Wen had no choice but to bring such a silly spy, and he didn't know how his immediate superior found him.

As a spy, you are a clever person after all, why did you choose such a guy who only eats and sleeps.

In fact, Zhong Wen was also to blame for this.

If Zhong Wen hadn't brought this baby Jinshui to his side, he probably would still be messing around.

Whether you are smart or not, it depends on the situation. In this hospital, what is the use of your smartness?

In winter, it gets dark quickly, and before we leave the imperial city, it starts to get dark.

It was another half an hour before returning to Huilai guest house.

"Xu Fu, Xu Fu, get something to eat."

As soon as he entered the inn, Zhong Wen called out to Xu Fu, the store owner.

Time, day by day passed, and in a flash, it was half a month.

In the past half month, it snowed heavily for two days, and then, after the snow stopped, the sky became gloomy.

However, during these half a month, Zhong Wen took Jinshui every day, besides making food, he went to the Imperial Hospital to memorize medical books.

And now, the medical books of this hospital are basically memorized by Zhong Wen.In the next time, I have to start going to the clinic with the imperial physicians.

One morning, as usual, Zhong Wen brought Jin Shui, a foodie, to Tai Hospital.

"Doctor Hong, I have been in the Imperial Hospital for half a month, and I have also read medical books for half a month. Speaking of which, although I have learned this medical skill for a while, I want to follow the imperial physicians to receive consultations. , I wonder if it is convenient?"

Zhong Wen said to Physician Hong.

"Prince Daoist, you are being polite. There is an order from the Holy Spirit. You can follow and observe it as you like. However, most of the people who are diagnosed and treated in our imperial hospital are honorable people, so please don't talk too much."

Physician Hong understood that the Taoist leader in front of him was just here to learn, not to grab their position.

As for how much you can learn, it depends on the outstanding ability of this little Taoist leader.

The oral order passed by Li Shimin is just to open the door of convenience, but they have the final say on how to open the door. This is called policy at the top and countermeasures at the bottom.

As for the past half a month, they never asked how Zhong Wen was. If you come, come, and if you leave, then go, as if there is no such person as Zhong Wen.

In the next few days, Zhong Wen went to follow the imperial doctor of this imperial hospital, and went to all the squares in Chang'an City. Of course, Zhong Wen even went to Miyagi City once.

The imperial hospital is an idle yamen. When there is no consultation, these imperial doctors are either writing or drawing, or drinking tea and chatting.

Few people will delve into this medical skill. After all, they are all doctors. Everyone thinks that they are very good, and they think they have a few brushes.

However, after Zhong Wen followed and observed several times, he basically understood the methods of these imperial physicians, or the methods of diagnosis and treatment.

Doesn't it mean that their imperial physicians don't know how to cure diseases, it's just that they watch people order food.

For example, the last time I went to Miyagi to treat one of Li Shimin's concubines, the prescriptions he prescribed were mediocre.

People only have a fever symptom, you just say drink more water, and you prescribe a few more medicines and you're done.

But these imperial physicians will not do this, but will choose to prescribe a few more, in order to calm down and gently remove the symptoms of the fever, as long as the fever does not get worse.

Using Zhong Wen's understanding, that is, everything can be done without putting people to death.

In terms of medical skills, these imperial physicians must have some skills, but their status is here. If something happens, who of them can afford it?

Therefore, watching people order food is also a skill and a way of survival.

However, Zhong Wen couldn't take it, couldn't stand this kind of peace, he was not an imperial doctor in this imperial hospital, he was just a Taoist who came to study.
