Magical Medicine in ancient times

The man smiled softly, that smile was powerful, but also carried a hint of consolation, "Don't misunderstand Doctor Zhou, we didn't deliberately snoop on Doctor Zhou's private affairs, it's just..." The man His face sank suddenly, and he said with an aura of controlling the whole situation: "This matter is related to the face of the imperial court. If someone really uses His Majesty's name to do such an unrighteous thing, I will never sit idly by!"

He looked at Zhou Jin calmly, but with a force that was imperative.

Pang Mao on the side stood upright, with long and powerful limbs, without a trace of expression on his face.

Hearing what he said, Zhou Jin knew that this person must be more powerful than Imperial Physician Liu, and he might not necessarily be a relative of the emperor.

Zhou Jin only thought for a moment, and then said: "I am indeed for the matter of the osmanthus tree. This time I went to Jiangbei Town for a doctor's visit, and when I came back, I found that the osmanthus tree in the backyard was gone, and even the herbs I planted in the yard disappeared. Thanks to the praise of the people, this osmanthus tree also has the title of a sacred tree. Since it is to be given to His Majesty, it is not impossible for me to part with it, but the medicinal herb in the backyard disappeared for no reason, no matter what, I can’t treat it as if nothing happened!"

The man nodded, "I have also heard the name of the sacred tree, but as far as I know, His Majesty did not order the sacred tree to be taken away. This matter must be hindered by someone else. Since Dr. Zhou is going to Yongning Mansion, why don't you call him?" Pang Mao will go with you, with him around, Doctor Zhou doesn't have to worry too much!"

Pang Mao immediately took a step forward and bowed to Zhou Jin, "When will Dr. Zhou leave, I wish to go with Dr. Zhou!"

Seeing this situation, Zhou Jin was not hypocritical.He thanked him immediately.He is not arrogant enough to fight against the court order by himself!

Since the other party asked for help, he was naturally happy and relaxed!

Zhou Jin packed up his things and returned to the clinic with Gouzi.

Before he entered the medical hall, he saw Shang Guihong pounced on her with eye sockets.

Seeing that Zhou Jin and Gouzi came back safely, he almost cried with joy.

Zhou Jin was a little touched, "Didn't someone tell you yesterday that we're only coming back today? How did you make it like this?" Shang Gui's eyes were filled with tears at the moment, and his eyes were even darker. It was obvious that he hadn't slept all night.

"I didn't see you coming back and I was always worried. Who knows if they lied to me! Unfortunately, I don't know where to find you! If you don't come back today, I will report to Mr. Xu. …”

Zhou Jin patted him on the shoulder to show comfort, then walked past him to the backyard.

Seeing this, Shang Gui's red eyes suddenly widened, and he subconsciously called out, "Ah Jin..."

Zhou Jin paused, turned to look at him suspiciously, "Is there anything else?"

Shang Gui stopped him, but didn't know how to speak, he opened his mouth to speak but stopped, then turned his head to look at Gouzi.

Then Gouzi said in a low voice: "Master already knows..."

Shocked, Shang Gui immediately turned his head to look at Zhou Jin with panic in his eyes.

Zhou Jin sighed, and said: "Let's talk about this later, I'm going to Yongning Mansion now, you stay in the hospital and wait for me to come back!"

The two nodded quickly, like two good babies.

Zhou Jin said again: "Ah Ci, you go and ask the old man to come over, I want to go there in his carriage!"

"Yes, master!" Gouzi immediately responded when he heard the words, and ran out of the hospital in a hurry.

Zhou Jin approached the backyard. The sky was bright in the yard, and the golden sunlight projected on the empty yard, which was a bit dazzling.

Zhou Jin looked at the empty yard quietly for a while. The air that used to be shady and fragrant had disappeared, replaced by steaming heat.

He walked towards a corner, where there was nothing but a circle of crooked branches.

Zhou Jin pursed his lips, his eyes turned cloudy, no matter who stole the silver fungus grass, he would have to pay the price!

The carriage slowly drove out of the town. The old man was as lean as ever, and his thin body was full of strength.

He waved the long whip in his hand, and the horse's hooves flew up, splashing dust all over the ground and rolling in the scorching air.

A black figure suddenly appeared in front of him, his pupils widened suddenly, and then he pulled the rein sharply.Following this force, Zhou Jin leaned forward, apparently bumping into the frame of the car.

"Old man, what happened?"

Zhou Jin lifted the curtain of the car and looked out.But he saw a man in black clothes standing quietly in front of him. He was very tall and straight, holding a long sword in his broad hand.There was a weird mask on his face, which covered the upper half of his face, revealing only a sharp and thin lip, showing a sharp jawline and a very resolute.

"Doctor Zhou, this..." The old man twisted the horse rope tightly on his head, feeling uneasy.

Zhou Jin frowned, "I don't know what you want to do?"

The man suddenly cupped his fists, and the red gemstone on the long sword reflected a dazzling red light under the dazzling sunlight.

"Doctor Zhou! I've been waiting here for a long time!"

Zhou Jin's eyes widened in an instant. Isn't that voice Pang Mao!He looked him up and down, a little surprised, "Sorry for keeping you waiting! Please get in the car!"

Pang Mao nodded, stepped forward, and jumped into the carriage very neatly.

Dad was surprised when he saw this, but he also knew what to say and what not to say. He just took a look, then lowered his head and didn't make a sound.After confirming that Zhou Jin and the two sat firmly, he pulled the rein and drove the horse on the road.

Zhou Jin quickly figured out that the other party probably didn't want to reveal his identity in front of others!I don't know what their origins are, but they are so mysterious.

The carriage carried the two of them quickly on the official road, heading towards Yongning Mansion.

The lights in Xue's mansion were brightly lit, both the master and the servants were all frowning.Everyone held their breath and concentrated, not daring to make a sound. There seemed to be a faint anxiety floating in the air.

The tall osmanthus trees have completely withered, and the dense greenery that was originally full of trees has also been bare, as if after the destruction of the autumn wind, the ground is full of dead branches and leaves.

"A bunch of dry food! Are so many of you useless?" Xue Peng frowned and roared, his voice was broken and hoarse because of being too intense, his eyes were black and blue, his lips were chapped and peeled, and even the corners of his lips were bruised. Several red pimples appeared.It seems that the past few days have been anxious and restless.

The bright moon disappeared into the clouds at some point, and only the stars in the sky shimmered.

A withered yellow leaf whirled lightly in the air following the roar, and finally fell slowly to the ground under Xue Peng's wide-eyed eyes.The last leaf has finally fallen, and the sacred tree has completely become a bare branch, which can be directly sent to the woodshed as firewood without any treatment.

The people kneeling on the ground also trembled, and they all buried their heads on the ground, not daring to make a sound.His clothes were wrinkled, his hair was messy, and his face was tired.It can be seen that in the past few days, in order to save the sacred tree, he has never closed his eyes.

Xue Peng stared blankly at the tall branches standing under the stars in the night, as if he couldn't accept it.

The surrounding was terrifyingly quiet, and no one dared to vent their anger, for fear of becoming the first unlucky person to be used as a sacrifice to the sacred tree.

In the strange silence, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in the distance.

A guard hurried over, seeing Xue Peng's gloomy face, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "My lord, there are people outside the door asking to see..."

"I don't see anyone!" Xue Peng's eyes were red and he was full of anger.

The guard choked for a moment, and had to speak again, weakly said: "My lord, this person claims to be Dr. Zhou from Zhou's Medical Center, and he said he came for the sacred tree..."

After hearing this, Xue Peng's eyes immediately burst into surprise, "Doctor Zhou? Hurry up, please!" He ordered eagerly, and the corner of his eye glanced at the bare osmanthus tree, and immediately said: "Directly invite people here Come!"

The guard led the order to retreat.

The gardeners kneeling on the ground couldn't help raising their heads, with surprise and anticipation in their expressions.Everyone was praying in their hearts that the sudden appearance of Dr. Zhou could heal the sacred tree and save them from the fire!

Zhou Jin and Pang Mao came in with the guards.Along the way, he was carefully looking at everything around him, but the more he walked, the more he realized that the place was wrong. Usually, the guests were received in the front hall, wasn't it?Why does this guard seem to be leading them to the backyard!

Zhou Jin frowned slightly, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Pang Mao. He was dressed in thin black clothes with a half mask, and his steps were light, as if he was hidden in the night.

He noticed Zhou Jin's line of sight, and turned his head slightly to look over. A pair of ink-like eyes were hidden under the mask, with a little cold light shining, making it difficult for people to see the expression inside.

Zhou Jin felt a little weird, this person seemed to be a completely different person, if he hadn't known that the person under the mask was Pang Mao, he might have thought that the upright and silent person in front of him was a cold and life-threatening impermanent ghost.

But they also met by chance, casual acquaintance, who knows which one is the real Pang Mao, the current him or the previous him!

Before they approached, an excited voice suddenly came from the front, "Doctor Zhou has been admiring me for a long time!"

Zhou Jin looked up, and saw a middle-aged man in fancy clothes coming up to him with a beaming face.

Zhou Jin frowned and looked at him for a while, "Your Excellency is..."

Xue Peng paused suddenly, and then covered his face with a smile, "I am the Governor of Yongning Mansion! Dr. Zhou has never seen it before, and it makes sense that he doesn't know him..."

"Total, let's see if he has the energy of Yinzhicao on his body!"

Zhou Jin quickly ordered in his brain, but there was no change on his face, "So it's Mr. Xue, Caomin has seen Mr. Xue!"

Zhou Jin leaned over to salute, Xue Peng hurriedly held his arm, "Doctor Zhou, there is no need to be too polite! Please get up!"

Zhou Jin took advantage of the situation and got up.

"Host, according to my investigation, the silver sesame grass is in this yard!" No. 01 said with joy.

Zhou Jin was overjoyed when he heard that, as expected, these people took away Yinzhicao!I didn't expect to find the place so easily!He couldn't help but also heaved a sigh of relief.

"But this person does not have the energy of Yinzhicao in his body, he has never been in contact with Yinzhicao."

Zhou Jin looked at Xue Peng without changing his face, and also smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Xue!"

It seems that there is another person who stole the silver sesame grass, but it is nothing less than this yard, so it is easy to find this person.He is not in a hurry.

"Doctor Zhou's visit late at night must be because of the sacred tree!" Xue Peng sighed suddenly, rather helplessly said: "It happened that Doctor Zhou was not there when I went to the medical center. It is for the sake of His Majesty's dragon body that he advocates removing the sacred tree, Dr. Zhou is benevolent and righteous, so he will not blame him!"

There was a trace of regret and taking it for granted in his tone, and a pair of bloodshot eyes secretly looked at Zhou Jin's expression.

Pang Mao, who was silent at the side, suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him, and there was a sense of indifference in those sharp eyes, as if he was looking at an insignificant dead person.

Xue Peng was shocked suddenly, only then did he notice that there was still a person standing beside him!Immediately, another anger rose in his heart. He was a majestic official of the court, but he was ignored by this unknown person. His voice turned cold for a moment, "Doctor Zhou, this is... "

Zhou Jin was also aware of his danger, and he just pretended not to know, "This is a friend of mine. He was worried that it would be unsafe for me to travel alone, so he insisted on coming with me!"

Zhou Jin was full of smiles, and he was not worried about offending Xue Peng at all. He used the name of His Majesty to seize the private property of the people. Judging by Pang Mao's reaction, he might not be able to enjoy himself for a long time.

"Oh, it turned out to be Dr. Zhou's friend. Why don't you take off your mask when you see me!" Xue Peng gave Pang Mao an indifferent look.

Pang Mao just stood on one side, neither speaking nor moving, just looking at him with a pair of extremely indifferent eyes.

Xue Peng froze, and his brows furrowed in an instant, adding a bit of evil spirit against the dark blue under his eyes.

Seeing the stalemate in the atmosphere, Zhou Jin hurriedly said: "Master Xue, don't blame me. My friend was born with a reticence for words. In addition to his ugly face, he had to use a mask to cover his face, so his temperament was even more gloomy. You are a large number of adults, don't talk to me." He counts!"

After saying this, Zhou Jin keenly felt that the body of the person beside him froze for a moment, and a gaze hit him directly.

After hearing this, Xue Peng's expression softened a little. He glanced up and down at Pang Mao, "So that's the case. Since the face is ugly, it makes sense to cover it with a mask, but I'm being rude!"

When he said this, his tone didn't necessarily sound a little guilty, but rather ironic.

However, Zhou Jin felt that this person was really hypocritical, and he no longer had the mood to play tricks on him, so he just said: "Master Xue, I came here this time to see the sacred tree again, I wonder if it's convenient at this moment?"

Mentioning the sacred tree, Xue Peng immediately frowns again, "It is natural for Dr. Zhou to see the sacred tree, but at this moment, the sacred tree..."

"What happened to the sacred tree?" Zhou Jin asked knowingly.

Xue Peng sighed, "Doctor Zhou, come with me and take a look!"

He turned around and walked towards the brightly lit place ahead, followed by Zhou Jin.

"Doctor Zhou, please look!" Xue Peng turned sideways and pointed forward.

"This is..." Zhou Jin's eyes widened suddenly, "How could this happen!"

He immediately turned his head to look at Xue Peng, his eyes were full of disbelief, "Master Xue, is this a sacred tree? It's impossible!"

Zhou Jin's surprise was somewhat genuine. Although he knew that the osmanthus tree would wither, he never expected that it would wither like this!With these bare branches, I really can't imagine the noble and beautiful appearance before it was full of trees and canopies.

A trace of complexity flashed in Zhou Jin's mind, as if his own child was at home well, but after being taken out by others, he turned into a beggar in a few days. This gap is really unacceptable.

"Doctor Zhou, this is indeed a sacred tree! For some reason, it suddenly started to wither. I have searched all the gardeners in Yongning, but I can't find out the reason. I don't know if Doctor Zhou has a solution..."

Zhou Jin's face was scorched, and he looked up at the tall branches, feeling very sad, "Master Xue, to be honest, I feel very sad to see the sacred tree become like this now, but..."

People kneeling on the ground stared at him with wide eyes. Their jaws were messy and their beards were messy, their faces were haggard and tired, and their bloodshot eye sockets were filled with anticipation that was about to overflow.

Zhou Jin noticed their eyes, and the words suddenly stuck in his throat. He pursed his lips, and was about to continue talking, when suddenly there was another rush of footsteps.

"I heard that Dr. Zhou is coming. I don't know who it is..." A loud voice sounded in the darkness. Zhou Jin followed the sound, and saw a man in a long robe and sleeves walking into the courtyard full of fire, dizzy. The light of the fire shone on his round face, making him appear to be somewhat gentle and kind.

"Host, it's him! He has very strong energy of Silver Zhicao!" No. 01 immediately jumped up and shouted loudly, looking like he wanted to rush up immediately.

Zhou Jin's eyes darkened instantly.
