Chapter 91: Conditions of Wangyou Hall
Wangyou Hall is not in Guiping City, but at the foot of a mountain in the outskirts of the city. Pu Zixuan and Chen Shuqing repeatedly inquire about it, and after many twists and turns, they came here at dusk.
A small courtyard with the three words "Wangyou Hall" written on the plaque at the main entrance is far away from the hustle and bustle. It looks quite lonely with the cry of frogs and insects, but it adds a bit of solemnity.
After knocking on the door for a moment, a short young man with a low appearance opened the door and asked, "Are you two here to seek medical treatment?"
"That's right. Is Dr. Wu Youxiang here?" Chen Shuqing asked.
The young man bowed and said, "Oh, Doctor Wu is here, please tell me your name, so I can report it to the doctor."
Chen Shuqing returned the courtesy and said, "My name is Chen Shuqing, his name is Pu Zixuan, and I hope you will inform Doctor Wu."
I thought I would meet Wu Youxiang successfully, but I didn't expect that the young man frowned after hearing the name: "The name is so strange. You two have never made an appointment, right?"
Pu Zixuan wondered, "What, you still need to make an appointment? Then when can I ask for a consultation if I make an appointment now?"
The young man bowed and said, "Sorry, Dr. Wu is old and has unique medical techniques. He is unable to receive treatment at any time. All patients need to make an appointment one month in advance."
Pu Zixuan said in surprise: "Ah? One month? Xiaojiu, your injury is afraid that it will heal on your own if you wait for another month, right?"
Chen Shuqing covered her abdomen and shook her head, "This injury has not only not been healed, but it has shown signs of worsening. I just kicked the man with my skills, and the pain has not yet recovered. I think Dr. Wu has such special requests, and there must be something extraordinary."
Chen Shuqing begged to the young man again: "Brother, I really need to seek medical treatment immediately. I hope you can ask Doctor Wu for a convenience. You can ask any conditions if you have."
Pu Zixuan hurriedly added: "Yes, yes, yes, I can give her several times the medical expenses. As long as Shuqing can get medical treatment immediately, just take it."
The young man smiled indifferently and said a little apologetically: "Everyone who comes to the emergency department says this, but Dr. Wu has never made an exception. Two, I am not a doctor, and I can't do anything about this rule. If you want to make an appointment, you can tell me now. In a month, I will ensure that you can have a smooth consultation."
Pu Zixuan asked: "Are you...her...son?"
The young man shook his head and said, "No, I'm just a choreographer who invited me to do odd jobs. My name is Li Zhong."
Pu Zixuan nodded, hesitated for a moment, intending to give up: "Forget it, Xiaojiu, Dr. Wu is unattainable, let's go to another place to take a look."
Seeing Pu Zixuan's suggestion, Chen Shuqing was unwilling to accept it, but she was helpless, shook her head and sighed, "Oh, okay, I'm disturbing."
The two walked not far in the afterglow of the sunset, but heard Li Zhong's voice coming from behind: "Two, please stay!"
The two were stunned and turned back. Pu Zixuan asked, "What? Doctor Wu agreed again?"
"That's not." Li Zhong turned around and asked, "I think the two know very little about Doctor Wu. They should be outsiders, right?"
Pu Zixuan said: "Indeed, we set out from Yunnan, first went to Sichuan, then went south through Guizhou to Guangxi, and traveled thousands of miles away just to meet Doctor Wu, but we didn't expect to treat him like this."
Li Zhong smiled and said, "I'm rude and rude. Have you ever heard a proverb - 'I'll pick it, and the fragrance of sorrow comes'?"
Both of them shook their heads: "I haven't heard of it."
Li Zhong nodded slightly to express his understanding and explained: "Doctor Wu is the best doctor in Guiping County and even Xunzhou Prefecture. All the injuries and diseases can be cured in her hands. But there is a saying that goes: 'Doctors cannot treat themselves'. Doctor Wu is suffering from a strange disease, but cannot treat himself through breathing therapy, so he can only seek help from a fairy herb. Eating this fairy herb can protect people from hunger for life. Therefore, Doctor Wu set a rule that if someone can pick up this fairy herb called 'Zhu Yu' to give her, she can provide fifty taels of silver as a thank you, or make friends, and give the friend free treatment as a reward for his life."
Seeing a glimmer of hope, Chen Shuqing asked, "Then, where can I get this kind of fairy grass?"
Li Zhong said slowly: "I wonder if you have read the "Shan Hai Jing"? Among them, there is a record of a kind of immortal grass in Guangxi: 'The head of the Nan Shan Jing is called Queshan. The head is called Zhaoyao Mountain, which is on the West Sea. There are many osmanthus and gold and jade. There are grasses, which are like leeks and green, and their name is Zhuyu. If you eat, you will not be hungry.' The Queshan recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing" extends for thousands of miles, but few people know that this Zhaoyao Mountain is in Guiping. There is only 17 or 8 miles of walking here. There is an uninhabited mountain. The immortal grass Zhuyu is on that mountain."
Pu Zixuan asked in confusion: "Since it's local and within easy reach, why do you think it is priceless?"
Li Zhongdao: "The two don't know that all things in nature have spirituality. Some strange grasses and beasts may become monsters after hundreds of years of tempering. In this process, those plants that have absorbed spirituality but have not yet been completely demonized are still in the transition and do not pose any threat to humans, but have produced some inexplicable wisdom."
Pu Zixuan asked: "Is it like some ginseng, they still run around?"
Li Zhong nodded and said, "That's true. Ginseng is like this, Polygonum multiflorum, and Zhu Yu is like this. But Zhu Yu is more precious because it only appears once every ten years, but every time it is smarter than the last time, making it harder to see it. A hundred years ago, it grew on the roadside; fifty years ago, people could only see it on cliffs; and the last time they saw it was seventeen years ago, when a master picked it from a hanging coffin, and no one had ever seen it again."
Chen Shuqing asked: "How do you know that it will appear on that mountain now?"
Li Zhong said: "Zhu Yu appears once every ten years. This rule has been passed down for thousands of years and will never be fake, because there is a little demonic energy on it, and some people who have attained enlightenment can sense it. But seven years ago, Zhu Yu should have appeared again, but has not been sensed. People analyzed that it was because it was closed by the container made of small-leaf red beans. No... it should be said that it took the initiative to grow into that container!"
Pu Zixuan sighed, "This broken grass is really smart. But isn't that mountain uninhabited? How could there be a box made of small red beans on the mountain?"
"Don't be afraid," Li Zhong said with a strange expression. "In ancient Guangxi, there was a king who buried his coffin on the Zhaoyao Mountain, and his coffin was made by Xiaoye Hongdou! This time, Zhu Yu probably grew in that coffin, and he relied on sucking corpse energy to gain demonic power in order to completely transform it!"
Pu Zixuan took a deep breath: "So, if you want to obtain the fairy grass, you must enter the king's tomb, open the coffin, and take it off from under the corpse! Oh my God, this... this is so terrifying!"
"What is terrifying is not the dead, but I don't know what kind of hidden weapons are in the tomb. For seven years, because the conditions provided by Dr. Wu are too tempting, some people have tried to enter, but they all died, and the missing ones are missing..." Li Zhong sighed, "I also saw that the two of them were a little heroic, so I tried to tell the situation truthfully. I am not too lazy to talk too much about it for ordinary people. How about it? If the conditions are OK, I, Mr. Li, are here to wait for you at any time."
"Wait, let's discuss it."
Pu Zixuan pulled Chen Shuqing aside and whispered: "Xiaojiu, I think it's too scary, why don't you forget it?"
Chen Shuqing disagreed: "Look at your promising prospects, is there anything more terrifying in this world than the Demon King Brother Duo? What people fear are nothing but evil sayings of demons and ghosts, but am I a monster? Are you afraid of me? The underground nest of the monster Fuyan is comparable to a grave? Are you afraid?"
Pu Zixuan said: "But the purpose of our trip is just to collect fragments of "Huanyue Jue". You are injured by arrows, which is a matter of extravagance. We don't need to take such a big risk to do this transaction. Why not go to other doctors to check it out before making plans?"
Chen Shuqing said: "I haven't forgotten why we set out, but it's because our purpose is to collect fragments of "Huanyue Jue" that we have to face many powerful monsters, so we need to add companions. We came to Guangxi to find a doctor to accompany us? I think Dr. Wu is really mysterious. It is probably either a purifier or a monster. As long as she gets her fairy grass, she will have to heal us at any time, or even walk with her. Why don't we meet and talk and miss it?"
"But we have sensed it. There is no breath of purifying the messenger or monster in this yard. Then Doctor Wu is just an ordinary person."
"You forgot again that this set is not good here. Guangxi is full of small-leaf red beans, and many abilities have hidden themselves. We have been here for so long, but haven't we sensed Su Sanniang's breath?"
Pu Zixuan was speechless. After all, the Dragon King of Galaxy has the power of healing himself, and it is difficult for him to experience Chen Shuqing's pain in his body. He only thought about the injuries of blunt objects and only needed plaster treatment, without such a big effort.
Seeing Pu Zixuan's hesitation, Chen Shuqing said impatiently: "Okay, okay, you won't go, you're not as good as me anyway. I'll go up the mountain alone to pick Zhu Yu tomorrow. What about you, it's better to go to your Yanmen Tower to pick hydrangeas."
When Pu Zixuan heard that Chen Shuqing came out again, he felt as if he had been exposed. He hurriedly agreed: "No, no, no, I'm just discussing and discussing, how can I bear to let you go to such a dangerous place alone? I'm just about to finish the discussion and promise you! I'll go, I'll personally uncover the coffin and pick the dog's fairy grass."
"This is just a bit like a companion."
When Chen Shuqing was happy, she kissed Pu Zixuan and turned to Li Zhong and said, "It's settled. We will go up the mountain tomorrow morning. When will we send you the fairy grass and treat you when."
