Although Zhushan County is a small county, the county government is not small.
In front is the main hall of Zhengya, which handles official business, and behind it is a row of neatly arranged houses. Except for the Xue Zhixian, who was in the palm of his hand, all of them lived here, from the aide Li Shiye to a small sergeant, the only difference was the size of the house.
When Qin Zhukuai came back with a bunch of people from Shengliantan, he did not go through the main entrance, but went straight to a yard on the side. Behind the yard was the county jail.
The yard is very large, and it is the place where the officers eat on weekdays. The people in charge of buying often pile up the dry firewood, charcoal and Chinese cabbage that have just been unloaded from the whole truck on the wall, and then slowly move them back to the cellar for storage.
Qin Chukuai unceremoniously threw the person in the corner. Because of the snow, people who entered the yard didn't pay attention, and it was difficult to find out that it was a person, and thought it was some kind of cargo.
Xue Zhixian received the letter, and he came very quickly, but made this mistake.
"Where are the people from the Holy Lotus Altar?"
Qin Chukuai pouted at the corner of the wall, Xue Zhixian was dumbfounded and touched his beard embarrassedly.
Xue Zhixian is at the age of knowing the destiny. He usually doesn't have any airs. When he doesn't wear official robes, he looks like an old farmer in the field.
He is the magistrate, and he is also an elder. Mo Li naturally voluntarily bowed his hands and salutes: "Xue Lingjun."
Lingjun is the honorary title for the magistrate. According to the convention, only students with good and famous names can see officials and not worship. However, Xue Zhixian is easy-going and rarely wears official uniforms. As long as he is not in the court, he will bow his hands when meeting people. There are not so many. 's rules.
"Doctor Mo, you've worked hard. I heard that Mr. Qin has also been busy for a few nights. It's really hard work. The county government has some steamed buns that have just been steamed, and they are still warm... No, there is still half a piece of bacon. Doctor Mo might as well take it. Go, it's good to replenish your body."
Saying that, Xue Zhixian explained embarrassedly, "There's not much money in the warehouse, so I don't dare to move lightly. The old man still wants to wait for the snow to melt before going to Linxian to buy some grain and come back for emergency, but herbs and the like are still there. There is some stock in stock, if Doctor Mo sees it suitable, just choose."
Mo Li bowed his head without being humble or arrogant, and said, "I'm here to treat and save people with my teacher, not for money or food, but to do my best. Save the people who should be saved, and treat the diseases that can be cured, that's all."
After speaking, I thanked Xue Zhixian for the herbal medicine.
Xue Zhixian Fuxu smiled and said, "Most of those herbs are sent by the common people, and they don't spend a single penny. They must make the best use of everything." As soon as he turned his head, he instructed the officers to go to Master Li to get the key. There are several warehouses in the house, and they store rice, grain, money and goods separately, all of which are set up to prevent major disasters and epidemics. Early this morning, Xue Zhixian ordered to open the warehouse and pick up some suitable things.
The magistrate moved his mouth, and the master naturally broke his leg. Master Li hadn't eaten a single bite of the meal until now.
When Mo Li followed the officer to find Master Li, the aide had scraps of cloth on his forehead, and was counting the felt cloth that had just been sewn. In a room in Nuoda, there were all seniors who were temporarily called to do needlework. woman.
Master Li's appearance is not quite on the stage. He looks like a monkey, and he is thin and small. From a distance, he looks very funny.
"Doctor Mo is here." Master Li grinned, and the strip of cloth hung to his lips.
The officer next to him held back his laughter and hurriedly took off the cloth for him.
The ink carp didn't smile. To him, the beauty and ugliness of human beings were not important. Not to mention that he looks like a live monkey, even if he grows into a bear, he is still immobile and does not frown.
When the officer passed on Xue Zhixian's words, Master Li found one from a large hanging key and personally led Mo Li to the warehouse.
On the way, Mo Li took the opportunity to ask, "Master Li, what is the Holy Lotus Altar?"
"The country is plagued by locusts." Master Li replied casually, and then he felt something was wrong, and wondered, "How can Doctor Mo mention the Holy Lotus Altar so well?"
"Of course I saw it."
"What?" Master Li was shocked.
Mo Li was slow and slow, and talked about the sudden appearance of the people in the holy lotus altar, and now he was quickly escorted to the county government by Qin Zhuo, but omitted the details of his own shot to subdue the saintess.
But if he didn't say it, Master Li could also guess, and sighed: "Thanks to Doctor Mo, otherwise Qin Chau would suffer a loss... Hey, it's good luck to suffer a loss, I'm afraid that there will be few people he brought. The group of people from the Holy Lotus Altar, when they arrive at a place, always take the people from the government first."
Master Li irritably pulled up his beard, stomped his feet, and lamented, "Why did the people from the Holy Lotus Altar come here? Zhushan County is such a remote country, and there is no oil and water, this is really a big trouble! "
He took two steps, and suddenly looked left and right, and found that there was no one around, he quickly grabbed the corner of Mo Li's clothes and walked to the corner.
"Doctor Mo, take a step to speak."
Mo Li was waiting to dig out more news from Master Li, so he followed him to a pine tree, which happened to be the corner of the courtyard wall, with no windows on both sides, so no one could see it.
"Doctor Mo, can you see the cloud dragon in the sky today?"
"Yunlong?" Mo Li didn't expect that Master Li didn't talk about the holy lotus altar, but instead talked about the dragon, which was very unexpected.
Master Li's small eyes stared at him, nodded and said, "Exactly, the dragon shape transformed by cloud qi."
Mo Li vaguely felt that Master Li knew the truth, and he was very puzzled. Master Li knew what even Mr. Qin didn't know
Master Li seemed to see his doubts. He lowered his eyebrows and sighed, "This is no secret, but Mr. Qin never believed it unless he saw it with his own eyes."
"… "
Don't believe what? Don't believe there are dragons in the world
Doctor Mo's eyes lit up. He had been alone for too long. There were no monsters for three hundred miles near Qimao Mountain. Although he is very close to the teacher, there are some issues that cannot be discussed with Qin Lu.
For example, the ink carp can't figure out how old it is. The book says that the tree has annual rings and the fish has scales.
Fish scales vary in size and rarely fall off. The scales grown in spring and summer are larger, the scales born in autumn are fine, and the scales do not grow in winter, and they grow again in spring.
This cycle is repeated, and the traces of each year are clear. The age of the fish can be known by the number of circles next to the thickness. However, more than ten years have passed since the ink carp became wise, but his real body has always been that big and has not changed at all. The scales can be discerned by light, like the flawless black jade glass, and there is no clear dividing line between the scales.
Mo Li now looks like a young man in his twenties, but he always feels that he is not only that old, he may even be older than Qin Lu. Although there is a precedence for hearing the Tao, the teacher does not have to be older than the student, but Mo Li still does not want Qin Lu to know that he may be a hundred-year-old fish.
Mr. Qin went to bed early and got up early. He was very particular about what time and what to eat, and even how many chopsticks he moved while eating. Mo Li really didn't want to be dragged by Qin Lu to live such a life together.
Scary to think about.
- And the white ginseng, white fox, and giant snake he "raised" on the mountain.
Obviously they are very spiritual, but they can't transform into shape. Is there something missing
When the ink carp transformed into shape, it was very easy. He just thought about what to do, and he successfully became a human being. This experience is equal to no experience, and he couldn't teach the fox/snake/ginseng at all.
dragon. It looks amazing, it should be like this!
Doctor Mo's eyes were bright, and Master Li shivered involuntarily. He wondered in his heart, and didn't understand why Mo Li suddenly became so interested. No one could resist the pressure of his eyes!
Master Li blurted out: "The cloud of the dragon is due to the earth's veins."
"Earth? What is that?"
"That's it..." Master Li looked around and said in a whisper, "The dragon veins in this world."
"Absurd!" Mo Li said with a stern face, "There was a faint-hearted ruler in the previous dynasty, who was unwilling to make progress. After listening to the words of the alchemist, he sent people to dig the ancestral grave of the leader of the rebel army, destroying the so-called dragon veins of the other party, so that the other party could not become a dragon, sit down. No country. As a result, it is not the Jiuding alien master, the country is ruined and the family is destroyed!"
"Hey! That's not the same thing!" Master Li waved his hand and said, "Dragon pulse is a word of feng shui, but it's not as simple as feng shui. Some wandering Taoist priests use the dragon pulse to talk about things and swindle everywhere. Yes, it’s all nonsense. If the ancestors’ tombs are where, the descendants will be able to rise to the top and become nobles, so what books should I read and practice martial arts? How can there be such good things in the world, they are all liars!”
Mo Li was silent, this was the same as what Qin Lu said, and Mr. Qin despised the alchemist very much.
"Doctor Mo, you are a doctor. You should know that Feng Shui is based on rumors. There are people in this world who sleep in the wrong place, open the windows in the wrong direction, and cause their family members to fall ill one after another, but they are all visible and palpable. The truth is, who doesn't get sick by standing in the wind all day long?"
Mo Li slowly shook his head: "But it is still useful to learn Feng Shui, for example, to be able to find out where those dignitaries who believe in Feng Shui are buried."
Master Li laughed and said quickly: "Let's talk about this in private, don't let Xue Lingjun and Mr. Qin hear it. Tomb robbery is the crime of beheading."
Mo Li was not interested in Feng Shui, so he continued to ask, "What's the matter with the dragon veins?"
"There is a mountain where herb collectors suddenly found spiritual medicines everywhere, and there are more animals and birds. If you plant wheat, the harvest will be several times higher than in previous years. Or there is a river, which has been ordinary for many years, and fishermen catch fish in one day. In more than a day, the pearls in the shells you fished out are the size of your fingers, don’t you think it’s strange?”
"… "
Why does it sound like a surge of spiritual energy, affecting the living beings in the mountains? The ink carp frowned deeply.
Li Shiye said mysteriously: "And in these places, people have seen the appearance of the dragon transformed by the cloud, and then there is the saying of the dragon veins. It is said that there are many dragon veins in this world, and the mountains and rivers are in the shape, and mortals cannot see them. But there are always accidents, such as mining in the mountains, or natural and man-made disasters, when the dragon veins are disturbed, they will appear in the world."
Mo Li's face was full of disappointment, so it wasn't a monster.
The author has something to say:
A world without cultivators and monsters, but with dragons, is of course a world of feng shui. [No]
According to habit, the truth is an onion, Master Li is not the way of heaven, he can't know the whole truth.
Dragon veins are real, this is a world with dragon veins, but dragon veins are not for burial.

Dragon veins: To be reasonable, if you say whose dragon veins I am, you will cut me off and cut off their luck. He also said that I have no owner. As long as you bury your old father, the descendants will be able to flourish. Whose consent did you get? Dragon veins are also dignified.

Ink carp: So it's not a monster, we can't raise foxes and ginseng together, goodbye JPG
