After looking at the rows one by one, most of the people stayed.

The main reason was that there were no ugly ones. Ni Yangzhou was afraid of missing any, and he also felt that aesthetics was a bit subjective, so he had to choose more and only excluded some people who were obviously not of the right age.

The Taoist priest standing in the hall waved his hand slightly, and the Taoist boy Qing who was waiting nearby took a small step forward.

"What do you want, Master?"

"Everyone who is not selected will be given some money, and those who are selected will be provided with accommodation."

Although Qing was small, he seemed very reliable in his work. He nodded and began to assign tasks.

Ni Yangzhou squinted his eyes and looked at the busy Qingyi and Qing's countless Taoist children. He felt that he should broaden his horizons and collect more clues.

We almost failed in the last world, so we must be more serious and cautious in this world.

Xiao Liu stood in the team, suppressing his hidden excitement.

He chose me.

he……

Choose me.

When everything was done, the eunuchs and the people from the Imperial Hospital had all left, and the new medicine boys had somewhere to go, Ni Yangzhou finally had time to go and see the Second Prince.

The second prince, Liu Zining, was arranged to live in the palace on the east side of Ni Yangzhou's sleeping hall.

When Ni Yangzhou went in, before he entered the hall, he saw the sweeping servants carrying things.

The futons and wood for practicing martial arts in the palace were previously moved to the storehouse and replaced with calligraphy and paintings, ancient vases, swords and books.

Although he is young, he has many hobbies.

Who are the calligraphy and paintings on ancient vases for?

Liu Zining, who was sitting on a chair, was also thinking about this.

Xiao Guizi, the personal eunuch sent by the prince, is efficient and nice to talk to, but...

What is it?

The second prince couldn't say.

He originally wanted to leave the palace early in the morning and come to the temple to pay his respects to his father and mother before leaving. However, Xiao Guizi said that it was too early and he should not disturb their rest, so he came here directly.

Also, I had to wait for Master Chengwang for too long. Xiao Guizi kept making tea and handing me snacks, and I was so full that I felt a little bloated. If the master didn't come, I might have to go and take care of it first.

The second prince closed his eyes, his mouth corners turned down, and he looked a little sad.

It’s not that Xiao Guizi is not dedicated, it’s just that I feel she is not as well served as the people around her before, and she doesn’t understand people’s minds as well as Qi Kong.

Qi Kong...

When Ni Yangzhou entered the room, he saw the Second Prince with red eyes, sitting on a marble-inlaid Ruyi armchair, tears about to fall from his eyes.

"Second prince."

Ni Yangzhou walked to the opposite side of the tea table and sat down.

"Condolences."

When Liu Zining heard the person coming, he lowered his head and wiped his tears, not as emotional as before.

"Real person."

Ni Yangzhou carefully looked at the expression of the young man opposite him. He didn't know how the people around him comforted him about Qi Kong's death. Anyway, it seemed that the Second Prince was relatively stable now.

Ni Yangzhou started the conversation.

"To cure the eye disease, you need to tell me the ins and outs of the eye disease."

The second prince didn't seem to be very concerned about treating his eyes, after all, he had been blind for so many years.

"My mother and my brother the Crown Prince said that I have had this since I was young. I was born like this."

"What did the Queen accidentally eat when she was pregnant?"

The second prince lowered his head and shook his head:

"I don't know."

Ni Yangzhou took advantage of the fact that the other party couldn't see and kept staring at the boy's face.

"Does your eye hurt? Is it completely dark, or can you see some vague light?"

"It doesn't hurt, I can't see, it's all black."

He talked much less than before at Yongsong Temple.

Ni Yangzhou thought he couldn't get any information out of him, so he just said:

"Food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. If you need anything, you can send someone to inform me, or send someone to the palace. If you need medicine or treatment, I will come to you."

The second prince nodded, and accepted the arrangement out of habit, which was very similar to his previous life in Yongsong Temple.

Ni Yangzhou looked around at the servants who were cleaning and tidying up the place, then walked out of the palace.

At the easternmost end of the entire observatory is a small back mountain, and the medicine boys were arranged to stay in the last row of halls.

Live next to the Taoist children.

The accommodation conditions are much better than those in the palace, and each person can even get a separate room.

The Astronomical Observatory was built for Taoist Yuanjia, and it was originally built on such a grand scale out of the emperor's selfish desire.

Who doesn't want to live forever and become an immortal? The emperor originally wanted to use their old friendship to ask Taoist Yuanjia to accept him as a disciple, so that he could strengthen his body and get a glimpse of the immortal way. However, it is unknown what Taoist Yuanjia said to the emperor. After a closed-door discussion, the emperor never mentioned the matter of practicing Taoism again.

Even descendants are not allowed to think about entering Taoism.

The palaces that were originally used by Taoist Yuanjia to recruit disciples became idle.

Except for some orphans rescued and raised by Taoist Yuanjia in the early years, no one has ever lived in the Guanxing Temple.

Apart from the Second Prince's men, these medicine boys were the first visitors to the rear hall.

Ni Yangzhou met a tall Taoist boy who was taking notes in a book.

"You are……"

The Taoist boy bowed and saluted:

"Kid Qing Twelve."

Ni Yangzhou nodded:

"Record the names, ages, places of origin, causes of blindness, and visual abilities of the medicine boys."

Qing Twelve's hands were very fast and he memorized the table header while listening.

Ni Yangzhou leaned over to take a look, his eyes showing approval.

A qualified secretary can also make lists.

"Real people," Qing Twelve hesitated, "Some of them have some..."

Ni Yangzhou knew what the second half of the sentence meant.

Big fire bubble.

"...We all have some wounds. Shall we prepare some medicine to heal them first?"

"Of course, find some herbs from the warehouse and apply the right medicine," Ni Yangzhou recalled the prescription, "and add some Pinellia ternata."

Apart from maintaining the daily operations of the temple, the Taoist boys have no other chores to do. There are big Taoist boys to lead them in meditation, chanting scriptures, practicing alchemy, and making some ointments, which is quite easy.

"Yes."

Ni Yangzhou was about to leave when Qing Twelve added another sentence.

"Master, there is a medicine boy named Min Liu, who is in room 32. I took his pulse and found it to be a little strange."

Ni Yangzhou turned around.

"If you have nothing to do..."

The man in the green robe narrowed his eyes and thought:

Min Liu, Xiao Liu?

"You can go and feel his pulse. I have never seen such a pulse before."

Qing Twelve scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Maybe I'm just not good enough at this. I always feel like my pulse is weak, my Qi and blood are greatly depleted, and my Yang is declining and my life is coming to an end."

"Please go and have another look, Master."
