Chapter 134: Immortal or Conjuring?
"Um?"
"Help me to calm the plague?"
Suddenly, an old man wearing a gray Taoist robe and several disciples in ordinary Taoist uniforms stood on both sides, point guarding this person.
When he came forward, the old man took the lead in reporting his intentions and reported himself to his home.
He has been on the trails of Jiangdong counties for many years, and the local people worship him and trust him very much. Almost every family worships him to beg him to protect the world.
Yu Ji believed that as long as Yuan Yao learned his name, he would take the initiative to visit him and ask him to resolve the plague incident.
Thinking more and more, he was old and showed several wrinkles, and a smile appeared on his slightly old face.
But things were beyond his expectations!
When he heard that the person in front of him was Yu Ji, Yuan Yao was indifferent and had no intention of coming forward to chat with him. Instead, he had a cold expression, making Xu Chu stand by and continue moving forward.
He still has to continue to appease the people in the riverside, so how can he have time to talk to these Taoists?
As for the so-called plague?
That is nothing more than Yu Ji's ulterior motives and pretending to exaggerate the words. Could it be that his purpose is to attract his attention?
Seeing myself smiling and taking the initiative to step forward, I was ignored.
Yu Ji suddenly felt cold under his heart.
But the person still continued to move forward:
"Young Master, why don't you pay attention to Ji? What Ji said just now is true. It will definitely be able to calm the plague. I hope you don't have to doubt it."
After the words fell, but seeing that Yuan Yao still ignored him, he had no choice but to speak loudly:
"Young Master, Ji has been practicing Taoism for many years and is quite knowledgeable about immortal methods..."
As soon as these words were spoken, Yuan Yao immediately turned around, stared at him quietly without saying a word.
The look was reflected in Ji's eyes, as if he was asking, Oh, what an immortal method is, let me take a look at it.
With a thought of this, Yu Ji still sneered in his heart and said sarcastically:
"Hmph, why are you pretending to be noble? You're just looking at it."
Yu Ji was secretly happy. He thought Yuan Yao turned around because he said he knew the immortal skills, but what about the facts...
But Yuan Yao seemed to be looking at a fool...
What about returning to the immortal method?
He came from later generations, could he believe that there would be magic?
Is it an immortal or a magic trick?
"Okay! Since you know the immortal craft, then you will give me a chance. If you can overcome this plague storm, you will be rewarded. If you can't, hum..."
With a cold snorting, Yuan Yao was not responding, but the cold expression on his face had already explained everything.
"Young Master, don't worry. Since the old Taoist dares to boast about Haikou, he can do it."
The two quickly reached a consensus.
Immediately, Yuan Yao led his personal guard Xu Chu to leave.
He has to complete something more important.
The top priority is to appease the people's emotions, control the spread of the epidemic, and let Hua Tuo dispose of medicines to treat the epidemic.
Although Yu Ji had already made a promise and would definitely resolve it, it was not Yuan Yao's style to place such a decision on the rise and fall of a few Taoist people.
Because Yuan Yao and his party rushed to the Huaihe River area first, Hua Tuo came late after being persuaded by Yuan Yao.
When Hua Tuo brought his several disciples to the military camp on the bank of the Huai River, Yuan Yao personally led the generals to greet him outside the camp, with a very sincere and respectful attitude.
It can be said that it gave Hua Tuo enough face.
In the camp.
Seeing that Hua Tuo, who was nearly fifty years old and had white hair on his head, carefully put down the medicine box and began to orderly command several disciples to prepare medicines that could control the epidemic.
Because the matter was urgent, Hua Tuo did have the compassionate heart of "the doctor's parents' heart", so he naturally did not want to delay it every minute.
Yuan Yao observed from the side for a while, and couldn't help but bow to him and asked:
"Doctor Hua, I wonder how long does it take for the medicine to treat infected people?"
"Young Master Qi Bing, since this drug was developed not long ago, the specific effects are still unclear, so you have to test it before you can get a conclusion."
After the words finished, he pondered for a moment, and then said:
"But please don't worry, the master will not exceed ten days at the latest. Tuo will definitely be able to successfully adjust it."
"good!"
"Since that's the case, Yao won't bother with the miracle doctor. Next, you can arrange it in the military camp with peace of mind. With Yao's army guarding outside the camp, no outsiders will come to disturb him."
"Now Tuo thanks the young master first."
The two of them had a few simple conversations, and Yuan Yao then said goodbye first.
After leaving the military tent, Yuan Yao suddenly lost the expression of smiling face just now. Instead, he looked serious, his eyes faintly revealed coldness, and he asked with his head in his face:
"What's going on here on Yu Ji?"
Because he was responsible for dispatching and monitoring Taoist people such as Yu Ji, and was also responsible for the personal guard general Xu Chu. When he heard Yuan Yao talk about it, he immediately bowed and reported to him in a solemn voice:
"Qi reported to the young master, based on the detailed rewards in the past two days, since he parted that day, Yu Ji and his group found a poor village to stay at the home for a while, and then stayed in the door and didn't know what they were trying on."
"But according to the rumors, Yu Jishi often ordered his disciples to go to the mountains to collect medicinal materials."
"College herbs?"
As soon as he said something, Yuan Yao laughed loudly and felt relieved immediately.
He thought Yu Ji really had such amazing immortal skills.
But after learning that he sent his disciples to collect medicinal materials, he immediately understood what was going on.
"Hahaha... Yu Ji has mastered how to use medicine to control the epidemic, so he used the immortal method to confuse me and took the opportunity to promote his Taoist school?"
After laughing, Yuan Yao also seemed to have seen a new world.
"Yu Ji, Yu Ji, if you really have the magic of counting, then I am still afraid of counting. But if you are pretending to be bluffing, I would like to advise you to act low-key, otherwise I will let you know the consequences of going against my will."
Yuan Yao didn't catch a cold about Yu Ji himself, and he didn't take it seriously at this time.
On the one hand, he was not so interested in Taoist doctrines.
Secondly, since the Han and Wu abolished all schools of thought and respected Confucianism, Taoism's influence among the states and counties in the world has been declining. Especially after the Yellow Turban Uprising in the previous period was pacified, the Han court issued a large-scale policy to capture Taoists.
Under this series of influences, Taoism's current influence is already minimal!
The only one who can still support the truth is probably the Five Dogs of Rice Sect in Hanzhong.
However, Zhang Lu's Five Dogs of Rice Teaching is actually quite different from traditional Taoism in terms of theory and concept.
What's more, in this era, Confucianism flourished and meeting scholars and gentry was the cornerstone of winning the world.
