When Xu Hang was in the medicine hall, forgetting to eat and sleep for the most crucial herbs, but he still couldn't figure it out, he didn't expect that the key to solving the puzzle would be Changling.

That day, the sky was still bright, and it was raining lightly. Changling, wearing a bamboo hat and clogs, knocked on the door of Heming Medicine Hall.

Xu Hang was thinking whether to invite him in for tea or breakfast, but Chang Ling handed him an envelope.

"Here is a report on the plague in Hezhou City, and a plan for the Japanese to attack Hezhou with this plague. Although it is not complete, it may be of some help to you and Commander Duan."

Xu Hang opened it for a few glances, and was very surprised: "Where did you get it? Keiko Kuromiya? What did you promise her?"

The preciousness and importance of this document cannot be easily obtained.

Changling smiled lightly, the rain fell from the edge of the bamboo hat, forming a rain curtain of its own, under the steam, his face looked so gentle: "Don't worry about me, I will leave Hezhou soon, so I want to put I will tell you something important. Because after thinking about it, you are the only friend I can find in the world of mortals."

These words carry a lot of weight, Xu Hang opened the door wide: "If you have something to say, come in and say it."

"No, it will be fine soon," Changling declined. "My apprentice is still young, and now he is just a little novice. I hope you will take care of him for me during my absence. I want him to be like an ordinary person." If he grows up like his own child, let him enter the world of mortals. If he grows up and has the heart of a Buddha, it will not be too late to become a monk. I should not force him to become a Buddha."

Of course Xu Hang would not refuse, but Changling had never traveled far for many years. He was very surprised: "If you don't worry, I will take good care of him. I will send someone to the temple to pick him up in a while."

As if letting go of the last stone in his heart, Chang Ling showed a relieved expression and bowed to Xu Hang: "That's it, thank you very much."

"Where are you going? Is it far away?" Seeing the meaning in his words, Xu Hang has not been there for a short time.

In the past, I heard from Changling that he wanted to travel around and go on a pilgrimage, kneeling at three steps, knocking at five steps, and preaching scriptures along the way.

Such Changling, like smoke and clouds, seems to be hard to grasp, and it will evaporate when the sun comes out.Changling's eyes were very firm, and he had a way in his mind about where he was going, and he replied: "Go to a place that I yearn for, it's not far away, and we will meet again soon."

Then he bowed again, broke the rain curtain, and walked away on the stone road with the sound of clogs.

Not knowing where the reluctance came from, Xu Hang suddenly wanted to grab him, so he raised his voice and shouted: "Changling!"

Among the silver threads flying all over the sky, Chang Ling stopped and turned his head slowly.

"I'm done drinking the tea, when you come back, give me another cup to dry?"

Because of the distance, Xu Hang didn't see clearly what Changling's expression was like. He only knew that Changling stood and looked back at him for a while, and then slowly continued on his way.

After closing the door, shaking the raindrops on his body, Xu Hang lit the kerosene lamp, and carefully studied the things Changling sent. After about half an hour, he raised his head, and first poured the cool tea on the table. Go down, and then take a long breath.

The information sent by Changling can be said to be very useful.

That half-research report just pointed out the method of cracking the plague virus. Xu Hang immediately wrote several medicines and waited for a while to test the effect. If the situation is favorable, a special medicine can be developed in three days.

And another battle plan is of great benefit to what Xu Hang has always wanted to do but failed to do before.

Because in the tactics of the Japanese military, a person's name was mentioned——Zhang Yaochen.

When there is no war, the national government can make friends with the Japanese and have private deals, but they will never allow the Japanese to help the Japanese with a butcher's knife in their hands and strike at the Chinese people's heads.

Regardless of whether Zhang Yaochen knew about the virus war or was used by the Japanese, he cannot escape.

Once this report is handed in, Zhang Yaochen will be in a dead end.He has been troubled for so long, planned for so long, and has been thinking about things, but he didn't expect God to sharpen a knife for him, which is extremely sharp and hits the heart of the enemy.

Xu Hang sighed, Changling, Changling, do you know what a gift you gave me?

It can be seen that the king of Hades wants people to die at the third watch, and will never keep them until the fifth watch.

Xu Hang stroked the edge of the envelope with his hand, thinking about his future plans.This time, he doesn't need to go out, he will ask Zhang Yaochen to come and beg him in person!

Thinking of this, he called Chanyi over and asked her to find a boatman who would go to Shanghai today and hand him a letter.

Seeing Chanyi covering it with wax paint, Xu Hang suddenly said: "You should tidy up the Jinyan Hall. The unimportant servants in the mansion will be dismissed one after another after finishing this month."

Chanyi tilted his hand pouring wax oil: "Master, is this going to... start?"

"It's not the beginning, but the end. I have a hunch that the rain is about to come, and the window paper as thin as a cicada's wing in Jinyan Hall has long been unable to block the wind of broken bamboo at Xiaotongguan. It is better to prepare early than to be caught off guard. "

Xu Hang pushed open the door of the medicine room, fresh air poured in, and the strong wind swept the table, blowing the paper flying all over the sky.

Chanyi stood behind him. It has been four years since the first time she was led into the gate of Jinyan Hall. Mother pointed to Xu Hang and told her that this was her old master. respect him like a bodhisattva.

From the beginning, she knew what Xu Hang was going to do.Even in her heart, she felt that Commander Duan was a good person, and they were really right together.

However, he is her master, he is her belief.Whatever he wants to do, she will not betray him.

It's just that she hopes that after the storm is over, Qiyuan can see peace and beauty again.

-----

The festering on the mice used for experiments in the cage finally disappeared, and the mice survived.Everyone in the medicine hall cheered excitedly, almost throwing Xu Hang into the air.

Duan Yelin who came over after hearing the news was also very excited, and asked three times if it was true.Xu Hang, who had stayed up all night, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and said wearily, "Don't be too happy, hurry up and find the nearest pharmaceutical factory, send the samples of the medicine, let them add some western medicine, improve it and mass-produce it, Only in this way can we deal with Japan’s black hands at any time.”

"The nearest military medicine is in Lincheng, I'll contact you right away!" Duan Yelin reached out and rubbed Xu Hang's hair, "You've worked hard."

The highly tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and Xu Hang's body began to have bad symptoms. He felt the thirst for morphine, so he pushed Duan Yelin: "I will leave the rest to you, I want to rest for a while. "

He walked to the side, took off his coat, and prepared to let the people below take it and burn it.After all, I have been doing research on the plague, so be careful.

Behind Xu Hang, Duan Yelin looked at the palm, the hand had just touched Xu Hang's head, leaving a lot of hair on it.

When did Shaotang become so prone to hair loss?Duan Yelin was a little puzzled, could it be that he was too tired?

Speaking of which, apart from the weight that has been falling, Xu Hang's eye sockets are also a little sunken, his tongue coating is white, bloodshot is getting heavier day by day, his cheekbones are slightly protruding, and his meridians are more obvious. All these signs indicate health deterioration.

Is it really just too tired?Duan Yelin always felt that these signs seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember them all at once.

"Shaotang," Duan Yelin walked behind Xu Hang who was washing his face, and wrapped his arms around his waist. Sure enough, it became thinner again, "Is your body really okay?"

One sentence made Xu Hang's stomach bulge with guilt, his eyes swayed left and right where Duan Yelin couldn't see: "What can I do, I'm probably too busy to eat recently, I look thin."

"Not just thin, but haggard a lot."

Xu Hang said perfunctorily: "Well, I will pay attention to it in the future." He was almost unable to pretend anymore, so he pushed Duan Yelin a little harder: "Then you go quickly, let me rest for a while."

Duan Yelin grabbed his wrist and pulled it away: "That won't work, you have to eat something before going to sleep. If you are always so hungry, you will burn out sooner or later."

The two of them only took a few small steps, when a soldier ran in, saluted Duan Yelin, and said back, "Commander! A floating corpse was found in the river, and it has been fished up now."

Another corpse.Xu Hang broke Duan Yelin's hand away: "Did he die because of the plague again?"

The soldier shook his head: "No, our brothers took a look at the corpse. It was clean and peaceful. It's just a sin. It's a monk."

monk?monk?

Xu Hang's expression ranged from doubt to surprise and then to confusion. He was thinking about something, then suddenly panicked, his mouth opened slightly because of the shock, and finally ran outside!

Duan Yelin couldn't even catch Xu Hang's arrow-like body, and saw him rushing out like a catapult, so he could only run behind him: "Shaotang! What's wrong with you?"

He didn't know, just in the space of a few words just now, Xu Hang finally remembered one thing.

In the past, he asked Changling jokingly, what is the purpose of chanting scriptures and chanting Buddha every day?

At that time, Changling said, seek to transcend life and death, transcend the world of mortals, transcend the realm of pain, and reach the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss.

I still remember Xu Hang's reply, isn't the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss the place where people die?

Changling said with a smile, where the Buddha Tathagata is, I yearn for it.

I yearn for it!The damn heart longs for it!Why did he only remember now!

For the first time, Xu Hang hoped that he used his cleverness in the wrong place and guessed the wrong person.

Not necessarily, not necessarily Changling, there are many temples and monks in Hezhou City, maybe someone else?Maybe it's a monk from a foreign country?

After finally running to the river, there was a dark group of people standing on the bank, everyone whispering and pointing.Xu Hang pushed people away rudely, ignoring the curses from others, and squeezed into the innermost place, completely stunned.

Soaked bamboo hats, clogs with one missing, scattered cassocks, discolored bodhi seeds... and a body with a layer of lifelessness and gray skin.

He was very familiar with that outfit and that figure.

Master Changling has passed away.
