In the next two days, Zhao Lei ate and slept, but he couldn't move, and his whole body felt unbearable when he moved.

Although Tian Lan takes care of Zhao Lei carefully every day, talking and laughing, and her relationship becomes increasingly close, in addition to Zhao Lei, she also has to take care of other patients, so she only comes to find Zhao Lei when she is free. At other times, Zhao Lei, a man who is five feet thick, can only look up at the roof of the wooden house, and his life is boring.

Bored Zhao Lei finally began to practice Taoist health preservation that had been interrupted for two years.

Zhao Lei came from a medical family. His father was a Chinese medicine practitioner and his mother was a Western medicine practitioner. The Zhao family's ancestors were all doctors who practiced medicine, and he also treated an unknown old Taoist who had the preacher's health precepts.

The health preservation practiced by Zhao Lei is just a set of breathing methods. He has practiced since childhood and has little illness or disasters. After joining the army, he found that his explosiveness and endurance are stronger than others. He also competed in the five-kilometer off-road competition and the first place was won by him, and he was almost recommended to join the special forces because of this. In the end, he was defeated because of his failure in other aspects.

This Taoist health preservation not only includes breathing methods, but also requires various requirements such as strengthening physical exercise, maintaining living habits, and strengthening one's own spiritual cultivation.

After practicing for more than ten years, Zhao Lei finally gave up because he found that except for the explosive power and endurance power being stronger than others and the spirit being better, there was no other effect. These things can achieve the same effect with some medicines, so he began to give up practicing.

Although everyone in the Zhao family practiced this set of health preservation skills, many of Zhao Lei's relatives still died very early, so he had lost confidence in this set of breathing methods. If he hadn't been bored now, he wouldn't have thought of practicing this set of health preservation skills again.

Zhao Lei closed his eyes, followed the health preservation method, started breathing long and short, and soon he entered a peaceful state of sleep.

Dangdangdang!

During the sunset and dusk, the bells of a Buddhist temple not far from the Taoist temple came, and Zhao Lei was surprised to be asleep.

The Song Dynasty not only supported Buddhism, but also advocated Taoism. Most of the people who believed in Buddhism were lower classes. They did not seek this life, but only seek the next life. The reincarnation of Buddhism meets their requirements, so all the people in the Song Dynasty advocated Buddhism.

The royal family and court officials of the Song Dynasty believed more in Taoism. Taoism's health preservation and alchemy techniques could help people live longer. Therefore, in order to maintain their rule and prolong their political life, these people were close to Taoism, hoping to use the power of Taoism to extend their lifespan. The peak of Taoism's development in history was also in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was the era of Zhenzong that had just passed. Now the influence of Taoism has not yet declined. There are many Taoist temples in Bianjing than Buddhist temples.

In Linyang Village alone, there is a temple and a Taoist temple, which shows the prosperity of Buddhism and Taoism in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Zhao Lei opened his eyes and was immediately shocked. Beside him, the old Taoist Tian Yan stood in front of him with a gloomy face. Behind Tian Yan, the Tian brothers gritted their teeth and swallowed Zhao Lei's appearance alive. In the end, Tian Lan looked worried and winked at him.

The story was revealed and the lies were exposed. Zhao Lei thought in fear, but the pain on his body showed no sign of improvement, and he didn't even have the ability to escape.

"Where did you learn the Golden Pill Avenue?" Tian Yan asked in a cold tone.

"Jindan Avenue!" Zhao Lei was confused.

"It's the method of breathing!" Tian Yan said loudly with a strong anger. He was sure that when Zhao Lei was sleeping, he was indeed practicing the Golden Pill Avenue. This kind of master's secret will never be released. He suspected that Zhao Lei came to steal the master.

"The Taoist priest's health preservation technique is the one that is not a lie to be exposed, Zhao Lei breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "The health preservation technique is passed down from the next family, and everyone in the family has practiced it! It was passed down by his ancestors."

"How many of them are passed down from ancestors?" Tian Yan's face relaxed, but he asked on guard.

"Breathing, exercise, habits, cultivation, four methods of health preservation!" Zhao Lei replied honestly.

"It's actually the whole of Jindan Avenue!" Tian Yan's face turned peacefully and murmured.

"You all go out! I have something to say to Mr. Zhao!" Tian Yantou said to the people behind him without turning around.

The Tian brothers and Tian Lan bowed and turned around and left. Only Tian Yan and Zhao Lei were left in the wooden house.

Tian Yan sat beside Zhao Lei's bed, said with a kind smile: "Where did you learn the art of the Golden Pill Great Dao of Mr. Zhao's ancestors?"

"I have been practicing medicine for generations and saved an unknown Taoist. I have to pass on this set of health preservation decisions. I heard that it can maintain health preservation, so my family has started practicing. I don't have a long life in my family. Why does the Taoist priest call it the Golden Pill Great Dao?" Zhao Lei asked back after telling the truth.

"Young Master Zhao turned out to be a destined person. It seems that the nameless Taoist who was rescued by the ancestor back then was the descendant of my lineage of Peng Zu!" Tian Yan did not hear anything suspicious from Zhao Lei's words, so he believed him. Zhao Lei's cultivation of the Golden Pill Avenue was also considered a fellow disciple, so he said in an increasingly peaceful tone.

"Zu Peng! The old god who lived for 800 years old!" Zhao Lei asked in shock. He never expected that the useless martial arts he practiced would involve the gods.

"Not bad! It's really the legendary old god. It's just an exaggeration to be only eighty years old. In fact, Peng Zu only lived to be eighty years old, but in the age of thirty and thirty years old, he was already considered a long life." Tian Yan touched his gray beard and said proudly. It seemed that he was still very loyal to the sect passed down by Peng Zu.

"Why does the Taoist priest have no Taoist name? And there is also a daughter?" Seeing that Tian Yan was in a good mood, Zhao Lei quickly asked out his doubts.

Hearing Zhao Lei’s question, Tian Yan smiled and said calmly: “I was a doctor Wuyang, and I opened a medicine shop. I had no descendants. I came to the Taoist temple to ask for a child. When I met the master’s inspiration, I gave him the Golden Pill Road. After I got Lan'er, I became a monk to serve the master. I thought that the master had already passed away, so I settled here. In order to commemorate the master, I have no Taoist name!”

"So that's it! No wonder there are many patients here. It turns out that the Taoist priest is actually a doctor. It's really unrespectful!" Zhao Lei said.

"Since the matter is clear, everyone is a family, Sanshi will have a good rest here!" Tian Yan saw Zhao Lei showing fatigue and retreated.

………………………………

After ten days of recuperation, Zhao Lei can finally get out of bed and walk.

After leaving the hut, Zhao Lei realized that he lived in a small Taoist temple. There were sixteen wards in the Taoist temple, and there were many patients living here, not only Wuyang's patients, but also patients from Chengdu Prefecture or further away.

During the ten days, Zhao Lei and Tian Yan communicated a lot, mainly for health preservation. As for Zhao Lei's family-born medical skills, Tian Yan disdained him. Although he was skilled in medical skills and had both virtue and art, he had the annoying character of the ancients. He always felt that his own was the best. Others were inferior things, conservative and looked down on new things. He criticized Zhao Lei's concept of Western medicine proposed by him. If Zhao Lei had not been cured, he would have fought long ago.

The exchanges these days have further developed the relationship between Zhao Lei and Tian Lan. Tian Lan has become very accustomed to calling Zhao Lei the senior brother, and he also found that he fell in love with the beautiful, cute, beautiful and generous doctor girl.

However, the closer Zhao Lei and Tian Lan got, the more jealous they attracted Tian Er's jealousy. Now Tian Er has a tendency to be incompatible with Zhao Lei. When they meet, they snorted coldly, without saying anything. They taught Tian Da several lessons, but they still did not change.

Through his indirect attacks on Tian Yan, Zhao Lei finally confirmed that he had arrived at the Northern Song Dynasty at its peak.

In the ninth year of Tiansheng and the Northern Song Dynasty in 1031 AD, it was the heyday of various fields such as economy, culture, and art in the feudal dynasty in China.

This year, the Northern Song Dynasty's fiscal revenue hit a new high, reaching an astonishing 160 million trump card.

Zhao Lei was not very sensitive to the number 100 million. After all, there are many numbers of fiscal revenues of tens of billions, hundreds of billions and trillions in a thousand years.

But when Zhao Lei understood the prosperity of prices, population, commerce and the development of culture and art in the Northern Song Dynasty, he finally began to be shocked.

When Tian Yan explained to Zhao Lei that the money is equal to one tael of silver, and a stone of more than 60 kilograms of rice is only sold for 500 yuan, half a tael of silver, silk, silk, cloth, cotton, salt, oil, fish, meat and other daily necessities, which are even cheaper.

At that time, the Northern Song Dynasty had a population of 100 million, and agricultural taxes accounted for only 30% of the fiscal revenue. In addition, they all came from commercial taxes. This situation made Zhao Lei start to sigh at the development of business in the Northern Song Dynasty. No wonder so many people envied the life of the Northern Song Dynasty in "Along the River During the Qingming Festival"! The Northern Song Dynasty was indeed rich and prosperous!

"What are you saying? The Meishan County Magistrate has a monthly salary of twenty guan, as well as five guan rice and various allowances. No! There are also jailers, three guan money and allowances, just kidding!" Zhao Lei sat on the stone chairs outside the pavilion and chatted with the patients who came to the Taoist temple for medical treatment.

"It's all true! I'm the chief clerk of Meishan County, and I'm in charge of paying the salary. If you lie, you'll be hit by five thunders!" The thin middle-aged scholar opposite Zhao Lei saw Zhao Lei's questioning expression and swearing.

Is capitalism sprouting? It’s such an era of prosperity! Zhao Lei thought with emotion in his heart.

However, Zhao Lei thought that the Song Dynasty was facing the embarrassing situation not long after, and was even more sad. Such a prosperous Northern Song Dynasty fell under the Three Red and was destroyed by the small Jin Kingdom. It was really a pity!
