Chapter 407: Chapter 154: The First Level of the Cycle of Heaven Method, Li Ling’er Seeks Medical Treatment_2
"The old man was not originally a Great Scholar, and he almost died at the beginning of last year."
"However, for some reason, on one day, a giant human figure suddenly appeared in the sky."
"When this figure disappeared, a statue mysteriously appeared in the Confucius Temple of our Tianyun Kingdom."
"The high officials in the city said that this statue is a Supreme Saint Immortal recognized by Heaven and Earth."
"Master Yun had an enlightenment after seeing that statue, he grasped a doctrine called the ’Confucian Path of the Heavens’."
"Since that day, he has become a Great Scholar, following the Great Dao."
"The Heavenly Aura seen along our path were bestowed by him at that time."
"However, because he had a large area to cover, the Heavenly Aura that he bestowed in each place is somewhat weak."
"It cannot block those powerful monsters and evils, but do not worry, it can certainly fend off some wolves, tigers, leopards, and the like."
Li Ling’er said a lot in one breath, then she sighed again and said:
"Ah, I really wonder what that Supreme Saint Immortal looks like. When will I be able to see it."
It sounded more like she was talking to herself, stating a fact.
In this era, it is not that women cannot enter Confucius temples, just that it’s very difficult.
It’s so difficult that even princesses of the dynasty may not have this privilege.
They can enter ordinary Confucius temples, but they certainly cannot go in those where Immortal statues reside.
Confucius temples are sacred and must not be defiled.
Li Ling’er comes from a scholarly family, she is knowledgeable and well-mannered, but she too does not have this privilege, often only able to glimpse from afar."
"So, Miss Li, do you want to visit the Confucius temple?" Chen Chang’an asked.
"Of course I would, after all, I heard that the Supreme Saint Immortal is very handsome."
"Graceful and elegant, as warm and gentle as jade, like an Immortal descended from heaven."
"Forget it, I won’t discuss this with you. As a man, you won’t understand."
"Let’s go, Li Bai. Mahe Village is just up ahead."
Immediately after, she pointed forwards and told Chen Chang’an.
The direction she pointed to was a small village with wisps of blue smoke. At the entrance of the village, a plaque read "Mahe Village".
It was rather peculiar. Despite being named Mahe Village, there was no river in the village, only a small, clear stream.
At this moment, it was almost noon, and the sun was somewhat scorching.
"Alright then, let’s go."
Chen Chang’an nodded, and then quickened his pace.
When the two of them arrived at Mahe Village, they saw many people already waiting at the village entrance.
The leader was a simple-looking man in hemp clothes. He kept walking around anxiously at the entrance of the village, occasionally lifting his head to look down the road as if expecting someone.
There were two children, one big and one small, following him.
"Dr. Li, you have finally arrived."
After an unknowable amount of time, seeing Li Ling’er and Chen Chang’an on the side of the road, he hurried over to them.
"Uncle Zhang, I apologize for being late, the mountain road was rugged, so we were delayed."
Li Ling’er quickly apologized.
Upon hearing Li Ling’er’s apology, the man from the Zhang family shook his head and said:
"You’re not late, not late at all. I’m already very grateful that Dr. Li came such a long way to see to my wife’s illness. How could I blame you, Miss Li?"
"Dr. Li, this gentleman, please come in."
Old Man Zhang led Chen Chang’an and Li Ling’er into his home.
Then, he turned around to the two children behind him and said:
"Er Mao, Xiao Goudan, hurry up and get hot water for Dr. Li."
"Yes, father."
"We understand, father."
Hearing this, the two children hurriedly ran to the back kitchen to heat water.
"Dr. Li, please."
"I leave my wife’s care to you, Dr. Li."
After sending off the two children, Old Man Zhang turned to Li Ling’er and opened the door to the main room.
Inside laid a sickly woman, her face color was not good, almost drained of all color.
It seemed that she didn’t even have the strength to stand up. Even though she sensed visitors, she couldn’t get up to greet them.
"Hmm."
Li Ling’er looked at the woman on the bed, nodded to Old Man Zhang.
She then went forward and took the woman’s pulse.
After a short while, she finished and opened her medical box to rummage through it.
After finding several packets of herbs, she took a bit from each, mixed them together to form a new medicinal package.
Li Ling’er handed the medicine to Old Man Zhang, and said:
"Uncle Zhang, pay attention."
"My aunt here has a Yin deficiency that’s causing her digestive system to act up."
"Uncle Zhang, you only need to brew this medicine I’ve given you and administer it to Auntie three times a day."
"Once a day is enough."
Old Man Zhang took the medicine, "Alright, alright, I understand. Thank you, Dr. Li."
"Dr. Li, here is the money for the medicine. Please, take it."
He then took out five copper coins and handed them to Li Ling’er.
"Ok. If there is no improvement later, Uncle Zhang can come to find me again. I will be in the Tianling Pavilion, you know where to find me." Li Ling’er accepted the money and solemnly said.
