A night passed and no more earthquakes occurred.

The people of Zhushan County were still in shock. As soon as the sky was dawn, they were busy preparing incense, candles and ingots, kowtowing to the gods and monsters they could trust, praying for peace. Every household was filled with fragrance, and the big and small temples on the streets and alleys were surrounded by people, and smoke was shrouded in smoke.

"Ah Yeh!"

Constable Qin sneezes heavily and rubs his nose and complains, "These gods eat hot food every day and are not afraid of choking."

The yamen runners behind him quickly winked and asked Constable Qin to whisper in a low voice.

Although Zhushan County’s people are simple, you should not say these slight words in front of the temple.

"My family, my mother is Buddhist, and she holds a bracelet to knock on wooden fish. Her wife, who offers incense to her mother in Lishan all day long, saying that she can turn my misfortune into good fortune... Is it 108,000 miles away from Lishan in Zhushan County?" Qin's detective Qin did not restrain himself at all and said angrily, "As for my father, every time he passes by Baiyan Mountain Temple, he will kowtow to incense sticks. I am not a hunter and woodcutter. Why does the mountain god bless me?"

"These gods, Buddhas and immortals may know each other!" The yamen runner next to him laughed and said casually, "Just like your family, you look up and see each other, and you're eating around a table to promote Paijiu. Who will follow whoever!"

Constable Qin was busy all day yesterday. Not long after he fell asleep, he encountered a movement in the middle of the night. He had tormented for half a night but couldn't sleep. Now he was getting angry, and his cheeks were swollen, which was so upset.

"Okay, okay, the felt cloths that Mr. Li told me must be sent to the village. Let's go and go early and return soon."

Constable Qin covered his nose and stepped on the snow while talking while preparing to leave the city.

It was just like this that I saw Mo Li as soon as I turned around.

"Doctor Mo?" Constable Qin asked in surprise, "Where are you calling?"

It was still early, and the pharmacy shop had not opened yet. Although Mo Li didn't carry anything in her hand, there were traces of snow on her uppers. It seemed that she had walked a long way, and her clothes were still the same outfit that Constable Qin saw yesterday, and she had never changed.

"I had an urgent matter last night and left the city." Mo Li said casually.

He is a doctor, and it is common for him to go to the clinic in the middle of the night, and no one else can figure it out.

Constable Qin asked Mo Li for a folk remedy to clear heat and relieve fire, and left with a smile.

Not long after walking, Mo Li heard the yamen runner whispering to Constable Qin: "Doctor Mo is not here for treatment, he doesn't even take the medicine box, and there is still some mud on the back of his clothes..."

"Okay, are you solving the case? People don't want to say that you ask so much about what you do, go quickly, and finish the errands and get the meal in the yamen." Constable Qin said angrily.

Doctor Mo silently picked up the hem of his clothes. Sure enough, there were stains that he had touched in the cave last night. The teacher was right. He had a specialty in his profession, so he did not have the talent to lie. When he arrived in front of Constable Qin and others, he would get rid of it as soon as he exposed it.

Mo Li was having a mess this night. He thought about the dragon veins and monsters at the moment.

He didn't know why Taijing Jinlong asked him to go to Xianyang.

He has lived in Zhushan County for nearly twenty years, and he is very familiar with everything here. Now that he suddenly knows his true identity, Mo Li is a little unable to come back to his senses, and even cannot accept it.

Because this means that if he wants to find a similar person, he must leave Zhushan County and Qimaoshan.

Doctor Mo couldn't help but remember what the yamen runner said was that the gods, Buddhas and immortals were one family, and he sighed secretly that it would be great if it was true. He didn't want any bigwigs who called the wind and rain. According to the county annals, the mountain gods, a nest of fluffy foxes, and weasels who like to tease people. Anyway, as long as they don't like to eat people, everyone lives together lively, cooks tea, drinks, plays chess and grows ginseng every day, goes out in spring, boats in summer, listens to the wind in autumn, and enjoys snow in winter. All year round, there is endless fun.

——But nothing, nothing.

Mo Li returned to the medicine shop with heavy steps and saw Aunt Ge holding dry willow branches, slapping around the courtyard wall, chanting one by one, and sprinkling a handful of black things on five steps.

"...ah, Doctor Mo is back." Aunt Ge was holding a dustpan in his hand, which contained the bottom of the pot. When she turned around, the dust inside happened to be blown up by the wind, which made Tang Xiaotang look all over her face.

The freshly baked black doll wiped her face blankly.

"puff."

Mo Li couldn't help laughing. Tang Xiaotang pursed her mouth and tears immediately rolled in her eyes.

"When did you go behind me, Tang Zi?" Aunt Ge quickly put down his things, pulled Tang Xiaotang and walked into the room, "Don't rub your eyes, don't touch it, Auntie finds you water to wash it."

Mo Li followed in the door. Mr. Qin slowly punched in the yard. Seeing Tang Xiaotang being carried in like a black monkey, he smiled and said, "Shizhi, did you bring this monkey from the mountains?"

When Qin Lu saw his disciple coming back safely, his nervous heart immediately withdrew.

"Teacher." Mo Li put away his messy thoughts and saluted respectfully.

However, Tang Xiaotang was so squeezed that he could no longer hold it in and cried.

Aunt Ge was in a hurry, and Mo Li picked up his junior brother helplessly, coaxed him and said to Qin Lu: "Xiao Tang is the age to save face. If he says he is short, he will be angry for a long time. Why should the teacher tease him?"

Mr. Qin knew that he was inappropriate and stopped talking while touching his beard.

Aunt Ge repeatedly said that it was her fault. She poured hot water first and then took clean cloth, and then took Tang Xiaotang into her arms and wiped her face.

Tang Xiaotang's face was so white that it was black and black, and she was even more amused when she looked.

Fortunately, Aunt Ge took him to the room to change his clothes, so Mo Li didn't have to continue to endure it.

"What is this for?" Mo Li asked at the bottom of the pot with a half-hurtball on the ground.

"It's the way to exorcise evil spirits."

Uncle Ge, the accountant of the pharmacy, smiled embarrassedly, "The willow branches are stained with water, and the aged pot bottom ash, walking around in circles can drive away the bad luck in the house. This is a way to ask the Kitchen God for blessing. Now it is cold and the ground is frozen, and I can't find fresh willow branches, so I can't splash water, so I can only get more pot bottom ash."

Mo Li looked at Qin Lu silently, and Mr. Qin shook his head with a smile.

——Even if you are a well-educated person, you don’t know that every household in Zhushan County prays to God and worships Buddha.

Everyone has a set of rhetoric, each of whom believes in their own ways, and even seriously divides the jurisdiction and responsibilities of various gods. It sounds very lively, but in fact nothing exists, Mo Li sighed.

There was a plate of vegetable buns on the table in the main hall, and they were buttoned with a bowl, so they were afraid that the heat would run away.

Mo Li went to the kitchen to serve a bowl of porridge. When he returned to the main hall, he found that only Mr. Qin was eating slowly.

"Have you eaten Xiaotang?" Mo Li glanced at the food on the table. According to Qin Lu's habit, he had a lot of money to eat at each meal.

Qin Lu nodded.

After Mr. Qin put down his chopsticks, he asked inquiry: "What did you see in the mountains? Are you in danger when the earth moves happen?"

Mo Li didn't know how to answer, so he thought about it in his heart, swallowed the last bite of porridge, rinsed his mouth again, and then whispered: "The student is safe and sound, it's just a matter of the dragon vein. I don't understand at all. I want to go to the yamen to ask Master Li for advice."

"So you have something to worry about."

Qin Lu could see at a glance that Mo Li didn't tell the truth. He usually didn't ask questions, but now that strange phenomena are frequent, he, a student, is sick, so Mr. Qin has to ask.

"Shizhi, a student as smart and studious as you, with an extraordinary talent, and a good character, is almost nothing to worry about, but the teacher has always been worried about you."

"teacher?"

"I suggest you be a doctor in Zhushan County. You agreed and did a good job. Everyone here respects you very much, and even Xue Lingjun is no exception. Two years ago, I suddenly wanted to take Xiaotang as a disciple. He is young, I don't have the energy or time to teach him, so I put him in the medicine shop and you took good care of him. But do you know, why did I arrange this?"

Qin Lu is a person who values ​​​​the courtesy. Every time he switches to "I" to talk to Mo Li, Mo Li knows that this is a serious conversation. Since he became an adult, although he has the name of a teacher and apprentice, Qin Lu will talk to him like a peer, no longer regard him as an unintentional and ignorant child. He only gives advice in everything and will not forcefully order him to do anything. Therefore, Mo Li respects Qin Lu from the bottom of his heart.

Some things may be born with them.

But some things were taught by Qin Lu through words and deeds, which made him understand.

"The teacher is as kind as a mountain to me, and he is more knowledgeable about the world than me. There must be a reason for you to make these arrangements." Mo Li really doesn't know Qin Lu's intention, but he also has his own guesses. "The technique of Qihuang requires continuous treatment and rescue of diseases to improve in order to improve. People have birth, old age, sickness and death, and diseases are inevitable. Doctors can see all kinds of things in the world, and tempering their state of mind is also beneficial to internal cultivation. As for Xiaotang, the teacher doesn't want to see him abandon his good talents."

Qin Lu heard the movements by the door and confirmed that Tang Xiaotang was not nearby. Then he shook his head and said, "You are right, but not all. Although Xiaotang has good talent, she is much worse than you. I am older, and I don't know how many years I can teach him."

Mo Li took Qin Lu's pulse a few days ago and said disbelief: "The teacher is healthy and has a good life of ten or eight years. It's okay to live until he writes an epitaph for Xue Lingjun."

Qin Lu was so amused that if he was heard by Xue County, Xue County would have insomnia again.

"Shizhi, I do these things to hope that you will live your life safely. When you were a child, you were bored and didn't like to play with other children. When you grew up, you were still bored. If you don't go to the doctor for treatment, I'm afraid you don't know how to talk to strangers at all."

Mr. Qin sighed, "Now, you have a home in Zhushan County and have your own life, and I have left behind Xiaotang... Doctors can't treat themselves. You are brothers, so it's great to take care of each other. But at this time, you are always very lonely, as if you have nothing to integrate into your own. You have a lot of words hidden in your heart and a lot of concerns. What are you thinking?"

“…”

Qin Lu felt particularly sorry for his students' confusing expression now.

In his early years, he thought Mo Li's loneliness was because he had no father or mother and didn't know how to live, so he tried to arrange his current life for Mo Li. He didn't need to worry about it. Mo Li could do his best by himself, but the loneliness and loneliness on Mo Li's body never disappeared.

Mo Li sat at the table, he didn't know how to explain.

He likes Qimaoshan, Zhushan County, and people and things here.

Xiaotang is very good, and the teacher is very good. Everyone in the county government is very good, including Xue Lingjun and Mr. Li.

But - no one can accompany him forever. Mo Li will use the technique of transformation to make himself grow old year by year, but there is always an end, and he cannot never "dead".

The teacher can leave, and Xiaotang can leave too.

Because they are humans, and he is a demon.
