Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

Zheng Yuannai was worried about his father's safety all the way and did not dare to delay at all. He traveled day and night and finally returned to the general's mansion two days later.

As soon as he returned home, he went straight to his father's bedside.

Seeing that General Zheng was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, he hurriedly said with concern:

"Dad, how are you?"

General Zheng opened his eyes and said weakly:

"I'm still dizzy... I'm afraid I'm not fully recovered yet!"

Zheng Yuannai didn't think much about it. He quickly took out the tightly wrapped fairy dew from his arms, opened the package, pulled out the stopper of the porcelain bottle, and fed the whole bottle of fairy dew to General Zheng without hesitation.

Zheng Yuannai knew that it would take some time for the medicine to take effect, so he waited patiently.

But for some reason, his father looked quite relaxed at first, but then he frowned, his expression became indescribably distorted and weird, and his face began to get hot and sweaty.

Zheng Yuannai was very nervous:

"Dad, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

General Zheng gritted his teeth, trying not to show any abnormality:

"No...it's okay, I feel really good now!"

"Yuan Nao, you've been traveling for several days and you must be exhausted. Go back and rest."

Zheng Yuannai was worried:

"But, Dad, your body..."

"It's really okay, go and rest!"

General Zheng said with certainty.

Zheng Yuannai had no choice but to go back to his room reluctantly to rest.

Worried about his father's illness, he went to visit General Zheng in his barracks early the next morning.

Who would have thought that the door of his father's bedroom, which had always been open to him, could not be opened this time!

Zheng Yuannai was a little anxious and shouted:

"Dad, Dad! I'm Yuan Nai, why did you lock the door? Are you okay?"

After a long time, the door opened.

After such a long time, his father was still only wearing his underwear.

What surprised him even more was that Aunt Qiu was also inside.

As far as he could remember, the two of them had not shared the same room for many years. Why did Aunt Qiu stay in Dad's room overnight today?

Moreover, my aunt’s face is so red.

Meeting his puzzled gaze, both of them looked extremely guilty.

Something is wrong, something is so wrong!

Zheng Yuannai is an adult after all, and after a while, he finally realized what was happening.

His face suddenly turned red.

It seems that his father not only recovered, but also recovered very well!

Damn it, how could he run into something like this!

Awkward! So embarrassing!

Zheng Yuan fled in panic.

He doesn't know yet, but from now on he will not only have to face his father getting close to his aunt again, but before long, he will even have to add a half-sibling.

Of course, that was all later.

None of the parties involved were embarrassed about this matter for too long, because in the afternoon, a distinguished guest came to the general's mansion.

"Master, Master, Duke Dingguo is here!"

When the three people in charge of the General's Mansion received the report from the servants, they were a little surprised at first.

Then he realized that the Duke should be here to visit General Zheng.

General Zheng was immediately moved.

The Duke was very kind to him and was like both a teacher and a father to him.

Now he must have heard about his injury and rushed to see him for the last time.

"Please come quickly!"

He immediately gave the order and strode out to meet them.

On the way, he almost bumped into Duke Dingguo who was rushing in.

Duke Dingguo was an old man with gray hair, but he was tall and in good spirits.

When they saw General Zheng walking with such a swift gait, their eyes widened as if they had seen a ghost.

"Bai Zhan, you... aren't you dying of tetanus?"

Duke Dingguo, who had always remained calm in the face of adversity, stuttered for a rare time.

No wonder he was so surprised.

It was actually his close confidant who saw General Zheng fall ill with his own eyes, and several military doctors jointly diagnosed tetanus, and then informed him of the news.

This is an incurable disease.

Logically speaking, it has been six or seven days, and the disease should have been extremely severe and he could die at any time.

He was thinking of this very point. Even though he was inspecting Suzhou and Hangzhou, he immediately rode over at full speed, wanting to see this subordinate, whom he treated as a half-son, off for the final time.

But who could tell him why General Zheng was so energetic, as if nothing had happened!

General Zheng knew that at this point, he could no longer hide the matter of Cihang Temple from Duke Dingguo.

Not only because Duke Dingguo was the Admiral of Caojiang, he was his immediate superior.

It was also because of Duke Dingguo's kindness to him over the years.

This is such a great opportunity, and the other party has already asked about it. If he still hides it, then he is really not a human being.

"This is a long story, please excuse me, Duke."

The two men came to the main hall, and General Zheng dismissed all the servants. He then told Duke Dingguo that it was because he took the magic dew given by Cihang Temple that he was able to recover so quickly and completely.

Duke Dingguo couldn't believe it:

"Is there such an incredible divine power in the world?"

Seeing that he didn't believe it, General Zheng directly lifted up his clothes to show him the wound:

"You see, after taking the elixir, not only did my tetanus heal, but my knife wound was also completely healed, leaving no trace at all."

General Zheng was stabbed on the waist. Although the wound was not deep enough to be fatal, it was not shallow either.

It's only been six or seven days, and there's not even a trace left.

Not only that, Duke Dingguo also discovered that the long centipede-like scar on his back had disappeared.

You know, that was the scar left when General Zheng was young and he blocked the knife with his own body to save him.

It was because of this that the two of them became friends and developed a deep friendship between father and son and master and apprentice.

Duke Dingguo finally believed what General Zheng had said before, and was filled with emotion:

"It's only been a few days, and even the old scars have healed!"

General Zheng explained:

"My Lord, it won't take a few days. After taking it, you will be completely healed in just two or three minutes!"

Duke Dingguo was greatly shocked:

"There are such amazing methods in this world! The master of this temple is definitely not an ordinary person!"

Suddenly I remembered something and suddenly realized:

"Could it be that Yuan Nai's illness was also cured by the abbot of Cihang Temple?"

"That's right! Yuan Nai was dying at the time, but fortunately a wealthy businessman from Nandu brought him the elixir from Cihang Temple, which brought him back from the brink of death. Later, in order to obtain the elixir to completely cure his tuberculosis, Yuan Nai moved to Nandu to settle down, and just to make it convenient for him to burn incense and make offerings frequently, he became a devout believer of Cihang Temple."

"It's a good thing this is the case, otherwise I would have been dead for sure."

Duke Dingguo also knew that Zheng Yuannai had moved to the southern capital.

Now I understand the reason.

Duke Dingguo's heart started beating wildly when he thought that just a bottle of magic dew could save a person's life when he was seriously ill and dying.

He is also over sixty years old.

Even though he is still strong now, he could never forget about getting sick one day and collapse completely, or even fall into a sleepless night.

Who would want to die when they hold great power?

Thinking of this, Duke Dingguo immediately put his arm around General Zheng’s shoulders affectionately:

"Bai Zhan, your family is the elder of Cihang Temple. Tell me, is there anything particular about burning incense and offering sacrifices at Cihang Temple?"

General Zheng said happily:

"Have you decided to go to Cihang Temple to burn incense and worship?"

He revealed this matter in the hope that Duke Dingguo could also benefit from it.

Whether out of emotion or interest, he didn't want anything to happen to the elderly Duke.

I originally thought that it would take some effort to convince the Duke to become a follower of Cihang Temple, but I didn't expect it to be so easy to succeed.

Duke Dingguo glared:

"I'm not stupid. That's a place where there are real gods who can save lives. Now that I know about this, how can I not go!"

"If you don't burn incense on weekdays, do you expect to pray for help when something bad happens?"

General Zheng smiled:

"That's right! Your Excellency is wise!"

As he said this, he called Zheng Yuannai over and explained the rules of Cihang Temple to Duke Dingguo.

After hearing this, Duke Dingguo immediately decided to write a letter to his wife, instructing her to prepare offerings first, and when he returned to Nando, the two of them would immediately go to Cihang Temple to burn incense and worship.

Unbeknownst to Chen Qingzhu, Cihang Temple had gained a new high-ranking and powerful believer.

Of course, even if she knew, she wouldn't be too surprised.

After all, she gave out two bottles of elixir with the intention of using General Zheng as a hook to catch a few fish.

Now, it’s just that Duke Dingguo was the first to take the bait.
