Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2176 Meeting the Strange People
In the early morning of the next day, it was just dawn, and Fang Jun hadn't washed up after getting up, when a servant came to inform that the two gentlemen of Duke Lu's mansion were already waiting in the front hall.

Fang Jun was speechless.

Is it worth being so anxious?
After quickly washing up, he went to the front hall and saw two brothers Cheng Chuliang and Cheng Chubi drinking tea, so he asked, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

Cheng Chubi said: "It's been used, the second brother ordered the servants to prepare breakfast early last night, and brought me over with him."

Everyone knew that Cheng Chubi was Fang Jun's hardcore fan. Cheng Chuliang pulled him in because he hoped that Fang Jun would try his best to invite Sun Simiao.

Fang Jun said helplessly: "It's okay, we don't eat anymore, let's leave now."

Cheng Chuliang hurriedly said: "A certain person has already prepared some tea and refreshments in the car, so I'll take a sip on the seat in the car, I've wronged Erlang, Brother Yu will remember your kindness."

Fang Jundao: "That's right, they're all my brothers, and they don't frown, let alone it's just a little effort? Brother, wait a moment, some go to change clothes, and I'll come out."

Cheng Chuliang said gratefully: "There is Lao Erlang."

When Fang Jun went back to change his clothes, Cheng Chuliang said to Cheng Chubi: "It is said that Erlang is domineering, but in fact he is very loyal, he is worth making friends with, and the third brother must treat each other with sincerity in the future. It seems that the children of such aristocratic families like us, You have to look after the interests of the family, fight openly and secretly to guard against this and that all day long, it is not easy to make a close friend, you have to cherish it."

Cheng Chubi nodded, and said straightforwardly: "Brother, it's okay, but second brother, you are too polite. Erlang is not only loyal, but also generous. Anyone who asks for something will never stand idly by, let alone us." Waiting for a relationship? In fact, second brother, you just came directly, and there is no need to drag me."

Cheng Chuliang looked at his brother's simple and honest face, and sighed speechlessly.

This silly brother doesn't understand the world at all, so how will he mess around in the court in the future?
But then again, maybe it is this kind of unintentional, straightforward character that can get along with someone like Fang Jun. He might be willing to make friends with such a straightforward person, after all, he is playing tricks and tricks. , among the children of the aristocratic family, which one can compare with Fang Er?Tired of playing tricks and tricks with cunning and treacherous people, I will naturally get close to a fool like Cheng Chubi, so I don't need to be on my guard, worry free...

After a while, Fang Jun changed into a blue straight suit, packed his clothes, left the mansion together with the two brothers of the Cheng family, boarded the carriage brought by the brothers of the Cheng family, and went straight to the south of the city.

On the way, Fang Jun casually ate a few pieces of snacks and drank some tea to pad his stomach.

As soon as Chunming Gate opened, the carriage left the city.

When he arrived at the medical hut where Sun Simiao lived, he was told by several students of the Taiyuan Hospital who were studying medicine here that Sun Simiao had gone to live in a Taoist temple in Zhongnan Mountain for more than ten days because he avoided Qingjing.

Cheng Chuliang suddenly looked sad.

Everyone knows that Sun Simiao is compiling the second volume of "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions". downhill.

Fang Jun didn't care about that, he asked the address directly, and drove to Zhongnan Mountain with the Cheng brothers.

In the car, Cheng Chuliang wondered: "This...Erlang, since Daoist Sun deliberately hid in Zhongnan Mountain, even if we go to the door, I am afraid that we will not easily agree to go down the mountain. How about we delay for a few days?"

The fact is that he is in a hurry. Princess Qinghe is weak after childbirth, and her injuries are fundamental. This kind of illness cannot be cured overnight. Naturally, it doesn't matter if it takes three to five days. Can't help it.

If it is true that a royal princess is in danger and the imperial physician is helpless, how can Sun Simiao not treat her?
Not only the princess, but even those princes and princes in Chang'an City, if any of them were terminally ill and in danger, it was impossible for Sun Simiao to refuse to save them.

Although this genius doctor is indifferent to fame and fortune, and regards wealth as floating clouds, he is by no means unkind...

Fang Jun said firmly: "Brother, don't worry, since His Royal Highness Qinghe's illness is not easy to delay, since you are here today, you must invite Daoist Sun no matter what, so that you can have a diagnosis and treatment."

Cheng Chuliang was also a straightforward person, he cupped his hands and said: "No matter what, brother Yu has kept this love in mind today, and there will be a big reward in the future."

Fang Jun didn't take it seriously and said: "Brother, you don't have to be like this. Even though Chu Bi and Chu Bi are not brothers, they are like brothers. Even if they stab each other, they will never frown. What's the point of worrying about trivial matters?"

In fact, when he came to look for Sun Simiao today, he didn't just ask him to go to Duke Lu's mansion to treat Princess Qinghe, but he also asked for other things...

When Cheng Chubi heard Fang Jun's words, he nodded slightly with an expression of "it should be so", and said nothing more.

Cheng Chuliang was speechless looking at the obvious expression on his brother's face, and couldn't help but secretly smiled bitterly: No wonder the two of them have such a good relationship, a stick and an idiot, they're all the same thing...

The carriage entered the boundary of Zhongnan Mountain.

Looking out from the car curtain, the mountains are undulating and lush.

Dense forests cover the mountains, with luxuriant branches and leaves full of vitality. The farmlands at the foot of the mountains are criss-crossed, chickens and dogs are heard, and streams are gurgling, just like a peach garden.When the carriage drove along the mountain road into the mountain, the top of the head was blocked by the canopy of trees, the sun could not penetrate, and it cast a shade.

Birds are flying among the trees, and small animals are jubilant.

After entering the mountain, the scenery is suddenly different. The springs and stones are quiet and secluded from the hustle and bustle. Occasionally, there are sparse branches and leaves. Looking up, the mountain top is surrounded by white clouds, far away from the world.

The carriage swayed and swayed along the narrow but fairly flat mountain roads, sometimes startling the birds in the forest beside the road, flapping their wings and flying up to the treetops, and monkeys were climbing among the trees jump.

Turning around a low mountain pass, there is a small valley sandwiched by two mountain beams. In the valley, there is a small stream with white water, and the two banks are gentle. The creek and the stone bridge all come out, which is a small Taoist temple with red walls and black tiles.

The carriage arrived in front of the gate of the Taoist temple, and several people got out of the carriage one after another. Fang Jun stepped forward and listened carefully, but there was no sound in the courtyard, so he pushed the mountain gate openly.

The mountain gate opened silently.

Inside the gate is a small yard, the ground is paved with bluestone, which is fairly flat, a bronze incense burner is placed under the stone steps at the entrance of the main hall, and there are several wing rooms on both sides.

There is a plaque hanging in the main hall, on which the words "Purple Cloud View" are round and straight, resembling the handwriting of famous masters.

A boy with his horns combed ran out of the main hall, with a wide Taoist robe dangling on his body. When he saw the three people standing at the door, he bowed his hands and asked curiously: "Three noblemen, where did you come from?"

This boy is not very old, with a handsome appearance and a pair of big bright eyes, very cute.

Fang Jundao: "My three brothers came to visit Taoist Sun. I don't know if Changke is in the temple?"

The boy pointed to the mountain on the side of Xiaogu, and said, "The Taoist priest got up early and went into the mountain to take some herbs. It will take some time before he can come back."

Fang Jun said: "I wonder if we can come in and wait?"

The boy said: "I am a guest from afar, please come with me."

After saying that, he turned around and led Fang Jun and the three of them into the courtyard, to a wing room on the left side of the incense burner.

The floor in the room was clean and clean. Several people took off their shoes and entered the room. The boy respectfully said: "Please sit down for a while, and I will boil water and make tea for you."

Bowing slightly, he backed out.

Looking at the simple furnishings in the house, blue bricks are exposed on several walls, and the roof beams above the head are also built with pine wood from Zhongnan Mountain, but the bark has been removed, which makes it look simple and unrefined.

However, the moment Fang Jun stepped into the room, his eyes and mind were all attracted by the person in the room at the moment.

In the wing room, next to a short table in the middle, there is an old man with white beard and hair lying on his side, leaning on the floor with one hand bent to support his upper body, and holding a small wine glass in the other hand, looking at it with great interest. Fang Jun...

The eyes of the two met, and a strange feeling suddenly hit Fang Jun's heart.

This old Taoist has white beard and hair, and there is no such thing as a "childlike face with white hair". His face is like dry tree bark, covered with furrows, vertical and horizontal wrinkles. The air of aging.

The most moving thing is his eyes.

An old Taoist priest who looks to be a hundred years old has a pair of clear and bright eyes. When looking at Fang Jun, the eyes are clear and bright, and the eyes are full of joy and wonder...

In the blink of an eye, these eyes seem to contain astonishing wisdom, able to penetrate all the mysteries of the universe, and all the secrets of the human heart, under their gaze, there is no omission.

Not only Fang Jun, but the Cheng family brothers were also attracted by the old way's demeanor and looked at him in amazement.

Fang Jun took a deep breath, bowed his hands in salute, and said in a respectful voice: "My next Fang Jun, I don't know where Changxian Township is, and what should I call it?"

The old Taoist didn't change his posture, but smiled slowly.

"The poor Taoist Yuan Tiangang."
