172 Stepping on the River and Entering Ningtian(1/2)

The Ye family merchant ship broke through the river and slowly sailed towards the dock.

Zhou Jing stood at the bow of the ship, and sailors from all directions followed the figure, shocked and surprised, whispered. Someone even slapped on the deck of their ship and bowed to Zhou Jing from afar.

Most boatmen and sailors are superstitious and often worship gods like "river god" and "dragon king" to protect the calm and peaceful journey. When they see Zhou Jing's magical performance on the river, they are shocked and awe-inspiring.

Originally, Ye Shunzhong planned to invite Zhou Jing into the cabin to talk and serve good tea, but Zhou Jing was not so arrogant, just to stand in the most conspicuous position on the bow of the ship.

——After finally showing his saints in front of him, causing noise, he just wanted to show his face more and let more people at the ferry see him clearly, so that this matter could spread throughout Ningtian Mansion.

Ye Shunzhong and others did not dare to walk away, so they had to stay by the bow of the boat and respectfully talked about their own situation. They were all well-known to everyone in Ningtian Prefecture.

Zhou Jing stared at the dock that was getting closer and closer. He couldn't help but feel nervous when he listened to Ye Shunzhong's words on the side.

The rich family I chose casually turned out to be the top rich family in Ningtian Mansion. I thought it was a small shrimp, but I didn’t expect it to be a dragon spitting out a pearl and caught a big fish!

Such a wealthy businessman is a good springboard. It seems that it is easier to implement the plan of pretending to be a genius and marketing yourself.

"Master Lingfengzi, I wonder where you were practicing Taoist temples before? What kind of Taoist sect was you practicing?"

Ye Shunzhong asked curiously, with a cautious attitude.

He was not sure what to call Zhou Jing, but he only called him "a master". Zhou Jing took the initiative to call him Taoist priest.

Because Zhou Jing denied that he was a god, Ye Shunzhong and others regarded him as a strange person with immortal methods. Although he no longer mistakenly thought that he was a god and worshipped him like before, he still respected him.

However, everyone was still curious about Zhou Jing's identity and origin, so Ye Shunzhong was cautious in temptation.

Zhou Jing didn't look back and said casually:

"The Tao is not in the view, but in the mountains and fields, I never practice the Tao of others, and there is no need to admit it from any sect. I only practice myself. If there is Tao in my heart, I don't have to look for it. I don't need to borrow external objects, and my supernatural powers arise."

Ye Shunzhong and others were stunned by the fright, not knowing how to be harsh.

As a wealthy man in the country, Ye Shunzhong has not had contact with other Taoist priests and has some knowledge of various Taoist sects and Taoist classics, but this is the first time he has heard this statement.

This is said, and I feel inexplicably like "I was born so powerful and I don't have to study at all."

But Ye Shunzhong couldn't question it - this man had even magical powers, and everything he said was right.

Zhou Jing said this on purpose because he really doesn't understand Taoist scriptures in this world. If someone "anti-counterfeiting" him, he will not be able to answer it himself.

It would be better to come up with a set of "self-made" statements so that others can't start - anyway, our magic is not adulterated, just say you believe it or not.

What you are playing is just a mystery!

"The Taoist priest is indeed a master of Taoism. He has a very profound meaning. He has always believed in Taoism. After listening to the Taoist priest's words, he has gained some insights..."

Ye Shunzhong quickly flattered.

Zhou Jing nodded, held his expression tightly, and asked casually:

"Mr. Ye, I have lived in the mountains for a long time and devoted myself to practicing. I have not set foot in the world for many years. Now when I come to Ningtian Mansion, I wonder what are the rules in this mundane world?"

Ye Shunzhong was flattered and hurriedly told some rules and laws in Ningtian Mansion, such as household registration certificates, road verification and book verification, etc.

At this time, he saw Zhou Jing frowning slightly, so he quickly said:

"Dao Master, don't worry. Since I have agreed to the Taoist priest, my Ye family will do this trivial matter for the Taoist priest."

Zhou Jing then stretched his eyebrows, smiled slightly, and nodded.

He paused and asked again: "I came here to seek the secret of heaven. I wonder if there are any rumors worth caring about in the near future?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Shunzhong thought for a while and picked up a few things to say.

Zhou Jing listened silently and nodded from time to time.

At this time, Ye Yingguang on the side hesitated and interrupted:

"There was a strange thing not long ago, but it happened in the Luhe area. It is said that more than a month ago, a thief named Chen Feng in Jingzhou of Luhe made a big fuss in the prefecture. He was brave enough to fight hundreds of people, massacred wise men, seriously injured the prefect, committed a serious crime, fled from Anlin's mansion, and disappeared... The government's sea capture documents were sent to the surrounding provinces, and even our Ningtian Mansion had a wanted notice."

"What happened?"

Zhou Jing's eyes moved, pretending to be surprised.

It turned out that more than a month had passed... Chen Feng's deeds have also been spread to surrounding provinces and have been known to more people.

Ye Shunzhong's face changed and immediately scolded his son: "How dare you tell me about the matter done by such a green forest thief? The ears of Taoist Master Pingbaiwu!"

Ye Yingguang quickly admitted his mistake.

Zhou Jing waved his hand and asked knowingly: "It's okay, this matter is novel. I wonder why this thief took action?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yingguang looked at his father first, and then explained:

"The official list says that the Chen Feng thief covets the wealth of local wise men, so he seeks money to kill him. When he fled in the city, he happened to run into the prefect of Anlin. Prefect Anlin was upright and scolded the madmen in the street, intending to come forward to stop them, which made the madmen become sexually aroused, and was beaten..."

Ye Shunzhong echoed in a deep voice: "This kind of madman is lawless. He should have been captured by the government as soon as possible and beheaded and displayed in public."

Zhou Jing did not comment and did not speak.

The government will naturally not tell the people the specific motives of Chen Feng's crimes to the truth. In addition, he injured the imperial officials, so don't expect the government to have anything good. The reputation outside the green forest will definitely not be good, and he was mentally prepared.

It seems that there are fewer killings... Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows.

While the group was chatting, the Ye family merchant ship finally reached the dock.

The dock was surrounded by people, and they stretched their necks and looked at Zhou Jing excitedly, all of whom came to join in the fun and wanted to see the fairy face.

Zhou Jing, Ye Shunzhong and others got off the boat, and the crowd moved away from the crowd and did not dare to stop Zhou Jing.

When the group entered the city, the people watching at the dock dispersed and returned to the city to tell each other, passing them on their mouths.

The people who did not see this scene couldn't help but believe it and doubt it when they listened to the witness's swearing.

The news spread like wildfire, but in just half a day, the incident spread to half of Ningtian Mansion. More and more people knew about the deeds of "the gods stepped on the river and entered Ningtian", which quickly became a hot topic that swept the streets and alleys, shocking the people in the city and making people talk.

...

The group entered Ningtian Mansion from Ximen Du, took a sedan chair, and was carried all the way back to the Ye family.

The Ye family mansion is located in the north of the city, and is a high-gate mansion with two stone lions lying in front of the door.

When they arrived at the place, the group got out of the sedan chair, and a servant opened the gate and welcomed everyone in.

As soon as everyone entered the door, many people immediately came up to greet him, but it was the masters and nephews of the other rooms of the Ye family who were waiting here early.

"Brother, can this trip go smoothly?"

"Can you invite a famous doctor back?"

Several other housekeepers asked, as if they were anxious.

Ye Shunzhong's face turned solemn, and he reached out to Zhang Jinduan beside him and said seriously: "I will invite Doctor Zhang back this time, and I will definitely cure the old lady's strange disease."

Everyone immediately showed joy and quickly came up to have a polite visit. Gu Liang

"This is Zhang Jinduan, the famous doctor in Xinglin, known as the "Second Hand"? OK, the old lady is saved this time!"

"You don't have to be too polite, you're so rude." Zhang Jinduan quickly bowed and returned the gift.

Although he has a good reputation in medical science, the status of a doctor is neither high nor low under the environment of the Daxia Dynasty. Even a famous doctor is nothing in front of a wealthy and wealthy family, so he dare not neglect it.

Zhou Jing couldn't help but glance at the man.

While on the boat, he did not communicate much with Zhang Jinduan, and at this time he realized that this man seemed to be a very famous doctor.

It was at this moment that the relatives of the Ye family noticed Zhou Jing, who looked strange next to him. Seeing that Ye Shunzhong seemed to respect this person quite, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I wonder who this brother is?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Shunzhong's face changed and he shouted, "Don't be rude! This is Taoist Master Lingfengzi, a master. Come to my Ye family for a while and you must respect him and not act rashly."

The relatives of the Ye family were stunned and confused, and were puzzled.

Expert? How tall is it?

I didn’t see my elder brother advocating Buddhism so much, but why did he change his temperament today? I don’t know what skills does this strange Taoist have to make my elder brother respect it so much.

The relatives of the Ye family were surprised, but they were difficult to interrogate in front of others, and they all suppressed their confusion and went up to say hello with courtesy.

Zhou Jing deliberately controlled his posture and said lightly: "I'm disturbing you, but if there is nothing important on weekdays, don't disturb me easily."

When everyone heard this, they felt a little displeased. They just felt that this man pretended to let him stay at home, and he was so ungrateful.

Ye Shunzhong didn't think anything was there, so he responded respectfully and ordered the servants to prepare the best room. Seeing the rooms of the Ye family even more puzzled, for some reason, he gave this person face so much.

At this time, Zhou Jing turned his head and looked at Ye Shunzhong and asked:

"I just heard what you said, it seems that someone at home is sick?"

Ye Shunzhong quickly replied: "I haven't told the Taoist priest before that my grandfather had contracted a strange disease several months ago and no one in the city could cure it. Then I went out and invited Dr. Zhang back in person."

Zhou Jing nodded, remembered it in his heart, thought about it, and did not intend to interfere in this matter for the time being.

Since others have hired a famous doctor, you should not interfere rashly. If you can't handle it, it will be embarrassing.

After all, he is not a real doctor. Although he has a profound attainment in pharmacy and herbal medicine, he can make drugs to save lives, diagnosis and treatment of difficult and complicated diseases is a medical field, and he has not mastered this skill at the moment.

This time I used Bill to shuttle in, and I planned to learn medical skills, otherwise I would be too biased in medicine and medical treatment.

Zhou Jing turned all kinds of thoughts in his mind, and he nodded and said:

"Then I'll go and rest first, and I won't disturb your grandfather's treatment."
