Daqing, the 26th year of Yongle, the capital.

Wei Qing came out of the palace, thought for a moment, then jumped on his horse and galloped towards the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. Wei Qing was the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the second son of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

Inside the Duke Dingguo's mansion, his wife, Xu, heard the housekeeper's announcement outside. She knew it was her second son who had returned, and hurried out to greet him, "Qing'er, you're back."

Pulling her son into the house and sitting him down, Xu looked at him carefully. "Whenever there's a case, you stay in the Jinyiwei day and night. Look at how thin you've become in just a few days."

"Mother, I'm fine," Wei Qing replied.

"Alas," Xu sighed, thought for a while, and couldn't help but said softly: "Qing'er, you have been so tired all year round, how can you do without someone to take care of you? You'd better listen to your mother and meet those girls..."

"Mother!" Wei Qing interrupted Xu before she could finish her words: "Mother, do you want your son to harm the girl? From now on, please don't mention such things again."

"Qing'er" Xu looked at her son, thought for a moment, and finally couldn't help but cautiously asked, "Then Princess Fengyang..."

"Mother!" Wei Qing immediately interrupted his mother and said, "Princess Fengyang is a daughter of a wealthy family and a noble family. I have never had any desire to curry favor with anyone."

After a pause, Wei Qing warned his mother, "Mother, the Crown Prince of Yue has not yet married, and the Emperor intends to send the Princess to marry him. So, mother, please do not mention such a thing again in the future."

After saying this, Wei Qing stood up and bowed to his mother: "Son has something else to do, so I'll take my leave first." Turning around, Wei Qing strode out the door.

Looking at her son's departing back, Xu sighed, her eyes filled with sadness: she just wanted to leave a trace of bloodline for her son!

His youngest son was born with excellent looks, but unfortunately, he was born with misfortune. He suffered from a headache since birth and would have a severe headache every fifteenth night of the full moon.

For many years, Duke Dingguo's mansion has sought famous doctors, but to no avail.

Lady Xu, the wife of Duke Dingguo, was deeply concerned about her young son. After seeking medical treatment in vain, she began to chant sutras, burn incense, and pray to Buddha every day, hoping that one day the Buddha would bless her and free her son from his illness.

When Wei Qing was nine years old, Xu took Wei Qing to Lingyin Temple to burn incense. On the way, they met a traveling monk who saw at a glance that Wei Qing had an unlucky fate and might not live past the age of thirty.

Xu was immediately frightened and burst into tears. She knelt down and begged for help, but the monk shook his head and said, "Everything in the world has its destiny."

After saying this, the monk touched Wei Qing's head again and sighed, "Everything depends on God's will." After that, the monk turned and left, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

When he met the eminent monk, only Duke Dingguo's wife Xu and Wei Qing were with him. After returning from Lingyin Temple, Xu never mentioned this matter to anyone, including Duke Dingguo.

Therefore, everyone only knew that Wei Qing suffered from a headache, but they did not know about his encounter with the eminent monk.

However, Wei Qing was already nine years old at that time and understood the ways of the world. After returning from Lingyin Temple, he became silent and taciturn. From then on, he only practiced martial arts diligently every day and never smiled again.

Thinking of this, Lady Dingguo wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeves. In the past few years, with every year Wei Qing grew older, Xu's panic grew a little more.

Seeing her son being alone and taciturn every day, Xu hoped from the bottom of her heart that her son could get married and have children as soon as possible. Maybe... maybe one day, her son would have a bloodline left in the world.

Although everyone knew that his son suffered from a headache, because of his prominent family background and handsome appearance, there were still many people coming to propose marriage to him every day. Unfortunately, his son rejected them all and refused to see anyone.

"Alas," Xu sighed. Could it be true, as the rumors said, that her son rejected all marriage proposals because he liked Princess Fengyang?

Outside the gate of Duke Dingguo's mansion, Wei Qing slowly clenched his hands into fists. Was he really only going to live to the age of thirty? Shaking his head, Wei Qing forced himself not to dwell on it, jumped on his horse, and galloped towards the Jinyiwei office.

The bright sun was shining in the sky. In a shady corner of the street, Jindou, who had just taken a nap, reached out and pulled off the big lotus leaf covering his head. He stretched his body and couldn't help but sigh. He didn't know how many times Jindou had sighed today.

I'm a modern person! How did I end up in this hellish place? Jindou frantically scratched his messy hair.

Jindou's ancestors made a living by fortune-telling, face-reading, and curing illnesses. When Jindou was born, his grandfather personally taught him medical remedies and physiognomy.

The descendants of the Jin family all have some knowledge of yin and yang and the ability to communicate with ghosts and gods.

It is said that the ancestor of the Jin family was a doctor with superb medical skills. He was compassionate and determined to devote his life to healing the world and saving lives.

One year, a plague broke out and countless people were infected. In order to treat the patients, the ancestor of the Jin family worked day and night without sleep. In order to save those seriously ill patients, he even risked his life to go to the mountains to collect herbs. However, due to excessive fatigue, he accidentally fell off a cliff. When he was found and carried back, he was already gasping for breath and dying.

After hearing the news, the patients who had been saved by the Jin family's ancestors came to the Jin family's ancestor's house, kowtowed and knelt, begging Guanyin Bodhisattva to save the Jin family's ancestor's life.

Due to the large number of people kneeling, the Bodhisattva Guanyin in heaven was finally alarmed. In gratitude to the Jin family ancestor for his concern for the people and his compassionate heart as a doctor, she personally brought two boys with her to the mortal world.

She took out a magic pill from her sleeve and poured it into the mouth of the ancestor of the Jin family with the water from the bottle in her hand.

As soon as the elixir delivered with the water from the clean bottle entered the mouth of the ancestor of the Jin family, he opened his eyes.

When the ancestor of the Jin family saw the Bodhisattva Guanyin standing in front of him, he was so scared that he quickly got up and knelt on the ground.

Guanyin Bodhisattva swept the eyes of the Jin family ancestor with the willow branch in the bottle, and then said to him: "I remember your kindness in saving the dying and healing the wounded. I will open your third eye and open your seven meridians. From now on, you can see the heavens and the underworld! I hope that you can continue to practice medicine and save the people in the mortal world!"

After saying this, Guanyin Bodhisattva and the two boys beside him flew into the sky and slowly disappeared into the clouds.

From then on, the ancestor of the Jin family seemed to have the ability to see through the eyes. Not only could he see the patient's symptoms at a glance, but even the demons and monsters that mortals could not see could not escape his sight.

From then on, the ancestors of the Jin family not only saved the dying and the wounded, cured diseases and saved lives, but also subdued the demons and monsters when they encountered them, so as to prevent them from harming the people.

When the Jin family reached Jindou's generation, Jindou was even more talented and quickly learned everything his grandfather taught him. But just when Jindou was about to finish his studies and become a master, for some unknown reason he was suddenly transported to this place of unknown dynasty.

Why is it that I am different from others after I came here? Jindou leaned his head against the wall, squinting his eyes, feeling extremely depressed.

Isn't it always the case in TV dramas that once a woman is dressed up, she becomes a stunningly beautiful and charming young lady or princess or something, and then marries a prince or general, and from then on she can live a life of doing nothing and just lying down and doing nothing?

Why did she look so different when she came here? Not only did she not become prettier at all, but look at how she is dressed as a man now. In the past month, she has become like a beggar.

Jindou opened his eyes boredly, turned his head and looked around blankly. When he was about to look away, he suddenly found a huge black cat not far away. It jumped down from a big tree with a "whoosh" and ran away into the distance.

Seeing the big black cat running in the sunlight, Jindou felt something was wrong. Just as he was about to get up and go to see what was going on, he suddenly heard shouts from the opposite street: "The Jinyiwei are coming! The Jinyiwei are coming!"

Several tall horses came galloping over! The leader shouted, "Jinyiwei is investigating the case! Everyone else, please step back!" After the horses passed, a group of people followed them and ran over.

When Jindou heard the three words "Jinyiwei", he jumped up immediately and forgot about the black cat in an instant. He jumped a few steps and ran towards the crowd.
