14. Opinions vary

County Magistrate Xue has to drink a glass of wine every noon.

——Medicinal wine made with poisonous scorpions and poisonous snakes.

Many mountain people in Zhushan County have such prescriptions at home, specializing in rheumatism. Xue Zhixian is also a handful of people. It is not uncommon to have these problems. The medicinal wine is placed in a large black jar. Once the cover is opened, it will smell a fishy smell, without the aroma of wine. Even if the person who is greedy for wine will frown when he smells it.

When the officer came to deliver the prayer letter, he smelled the smell before he entered the door. He couldn't help but rub his nose, took a deep breath, knocked on the door respectfully, and said in a muffled voice: "Xue Lingjun, Doctor Mo has sent the famous letter."

County Magistrate Xue had a hand holding the wine glass, and then slowly drank the wine in the cup, and then said, "Put down the letter and ask Doctor Mo to wait in the second hall."

The officer responded, lowered his head and entered the door, put down his prayer letter. When he was about to leave, he heard County Magistrate Xue say, "Please invite Master Li to the second hall again to entertain guests on behalf of me."

After the officer left, County Magistrate Xue slowly picked up the famous post.

The handwriting is clear, the font is slightly longer, and its shape is gorgeous and has no lack of bone strength.

Magistrate Xue held his beard and he admired the words for only six or seven for a long time. Then he took out a key, opened a small mahogany box on the study table, and put the prayer in it smoothly.

When he closed the box, he patted with satisfaction, and then he began to use his power to transform the toxicity in the glass of wine just now.

After the inner breath had a great cycle of thirty-six cycles, it was already half an hour later. County Magistrate Xue adjusted his sleeves and outer robe, and slowly stepped out of the study door.

The courtyard where Xue Zhixian lives is not big. When you enter the door, you will see the main hall. When you walk through the atrium, you will see the second hall, and there are wing rooms on both sides.

There were originally several water tanks with water lilies in the yard. Now it is cold and I am afraid that the tank will crack, so there is no water inside.

The grape trellis was also bare, leaving only a pine bonsai next to the stone steps, which was a little green. Magistrate Xue deliberately walked around to the bonsai and looked at it, fearing that it would be frozen.

You can hear the movements in the second hall at this location.

"... The people in the Holy Lotus Altar are thief-hearted and they broke the wall last night and tried to escape from prison."

"Xue Lingjun!"

Mo Li noticed that someone was coming outside, so he stood up and saluted. Master Li, who was originally talking to him, heard it and hurriedly greeted him.

As soon as County Magistrate Xue saw Master Li, he remembered the repair expenses of the county jail drafted by Master Li this morning. He looked at his staff dissatisfiedly. It was not a glorious thing for the people from the Holy Lotus Altar to demolish the cell. Is it necessary to tell them?

Master Li laughed dryly, thinking that the Holy Lotus Hall is a difficult person, and there will definitely be someone who will come to cause trouble in the future. He called himself to come here to accompany him. Isn’t it just that Dr. Mo and Mr. Qin would be willing to help?

County Magistrate Xue: What do you know? I have my own opinions.

Seeing their Dongweng's staff winking back and forth, Doctor Mo silently picked up the teacup and looked down at the floor tiles. Mr. Qin once said that at such times, it is best to look at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall or taste the bonsai in the room. Everyone pretended to be nothing. This is the way of a gentleman, but there is nothing in the room, only the floor tiles can be seen.

"Doctor Mo comes to the door today, is there something important?"

County Magistrate Xue signaled his staff to sit with him, and sat in the main seat, and said with a smile, "This is the first time I have received your famous post."

It is a formal etiquette to submit posts and pay homage. Although Mo Li often comes to the yamen, it is all for his own sake.

In this year, even if relatives meet, people with a little status have to send a servant to send a famous post in advance, which is considered to be a greeting. It is very unqualified not to come to the door.

The magistrate usually lives in the official house behind the county government office. Zhushan County is a remote countryside, and even the official house was rebuilt after magistrate Xue came. This is the first time this small courtyard is in Moli.

"Xue Lingjun is polite. I came here to disturb me this time because I was advised by the teacher."

When Xue Zhixian laughed, his eyes became a crack, but he said humbly: "I have wasted dozens of years of time. Although I am not as knowledgeable as Mr. Qin, I still have some skills."

After saying that, he looked at Mo Li, as if he was looking at his own nephews, with a look of expectation.

Master Li next to him suddenly felt sore teeth. He felt that he had made Dongweng's old habits again.

——I want to steal someone’s apprentice.

So far, the only people who have been infected are Mo Li.

Who made Mo Li a disciple of Mr. Qin? He is talented and beautiful, and he is hard to come by.

I couldn't find anyone to find my disciple. I saw that everyone was a crooked person. Suddenly, an outstanding person came, but he was someone else's apprentice. It was like walking on the street, seeing that other women were always better than their own, and talking about other sons found that they were all promising than their own.

However, I can't get it. Even Master Li, who doesn't understand martial arts, knows that County Magistrate Xue's martial arts are much worse than Mr. Qin. More than ten years have passed, and it is unknown whether he can beat Doctor Mo now.

Mo Li paused and sighed helplessly.

"...I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Xue Lingjun."

"Um?"

County Magistrate Xue was stunned. In fact, many years have passed, and he has long since wanted to accept disciples. Now he just wants to show off what Qin Lu cannot do.

"I'm not here to ask about medical advice."

Mo Li said it very tactfully, but County Magistrate Xue knew what it meant. He asked in confusion: "Qin Lu is proficient in the art of Qihuang. He doesn't understand and asks you to ask me about it. Isn't it just poison left? You are not here to visit this, why?"

“…”

Also because Xue Lingjun, you are an official appointed by the court. Even though you are in a remote countryside, you can still know the general trend of the world through various channels!

Mo Li was amused and crying. Could it be that in the heart of Magistrate Xue, he was just a doctor who was devoted to studying medical skills and never wanted to go anywhere?

"Xue Lingjun was joking. I want to inherit the aspirations of my teacher, travel around the world, and save the world." Doctor Mo thought for a while and decided to take Mr. Qin out as an excuse.

County Magistrate Xue was shocked, and Master Li, who was sitting next to him, shook his head quickly and advised him: "Doctor Mo, it's not that I'll give you a break. Nowadays, there are wars everywhere, government orders are not in line, and bandits are everywhere. Take the Holy Lotus Altar for example. Except for those who have ulterior motives, blind followers are all miserable people. If you meet, it's not right or wrong, and you don't know whether to kill them or not. In those villages that believe in the Holy Lotus Altar, the villagers do not distinguish right from wrong, nor do they distinguish right from bad, but only know how to worship the Ziweixing Lord. Those who dare to stand out are either burned to death by the villagers or hacked to death by random knives. Alas!"

After hearing this, Mo Li asked naturally: "Speaking of this, the people from the Holy Lotus Altar were imprisoned in the county government. After the mountain road was opened in the spring, will there be someone else coming?"

"That's sure..."

Before Master Li finished speaking, he was stopped by County Magistrate Xue: "It's just a rat. As long as you create an illusion, people from the Holy Lotus Altar elsewhere think that Zhushan County is poor and has no money, and they can't get any oil or water, and they naturally won't come again."

"Dragon Vein?" Mo Li frowned.

"I personally interrogated last night." County Magistrate Xue said indifferently, "According to the so-called saint, the alchemist under the Heavenly Suo King they surrendered, he calculated that there was a dragon vein in the northwest of Pingzhou Prefecture, so he sent many people to investigate. Our Zhushan County happens to be one of the nine counties in the northwest of Pingzhou Prefecture."

Mo Li was so stupid. What's the use of finding the dragon vein? Could he help the King of Heavenly Sect ascend the throne to the throne?

He can't do this job, so he might as well go to find the Taijing Dragon Vein!

Master Li said carefully beside him: "Xue Lingjun, we may really have dragon veins here..."

Yesterday there was a black dragon flying in the sky.

"Many people have seen it, and there are many different opinions, and this can't be blocked." Master Li was worried.

"Let the Baojia Township elders pass on the message and tell the people not to talk about the true body of the Dragon King. Just say that there is a difference in immortals. In order to save the people in Zhushan County, the Dragon King hastily cast spells and accidentally exposed his true body. Rain, water, blizzards, are all destiny. The Dragon King violates the destiny of heaven and violates the destiny of heaven. Therefore, the temple cannot be built, and the matter cannot be said. If a stranger asks about it, it cannot be admitted that the Dragon King can escape the disaster without any evidence. The Dragon King saves the people in my place. We must be kind and sincerely help them."

Master Li nodded repeatedly and praised: "This method is great and good, so you are indeed superior to others."

County Magistrate Xue shook his head and made a proud statement.

Mo Li: "…"

After seeing this, Xue Lingjun is indeed hidden and is a master.

Mo Li calmed down and continued to ask: "Since the alchemist said that the dragon vein was in Pingzhou Prefecture and could not be found elsewhere, would they be willing?"

County Magistrate Xue waved his hand and said, "It's not worth worrying. There are many schools of priests in the world and they don't give in to each other. The dragon vein itself is an illusory theory, and there is no standard method to determine the dragon vein. Each school has its own method, and it is all a person who deceives the world and steals the reputation. It is common for ineffectiveness."

"There are nine counties northwest of Pingzhou Prefecture. Shengliantan sends a saint to our Zhushan County alone. Will you already have suspicion about this place?"

As soon as Mo Li finished speaking, County Magistrate Xue and Master Li both laughed.

"There are thirty-six saints in the Holy Lotus Hall, and this saint is really nothing."

“…”

Mo Li breathed a sigh of relief. He did not continue to ask Xue County how to deal with the arrested Holy Lotus Orb Cult, nor did he ask how to control these people to convey false information - Xue County will not cure the disease and save the patient, but he is very good at how to poison it.

The people at the Holy Lotus Altar are locked in a prison. Unless they die on a hunger strike, it is impossible to escape Xue Lingjun's means. The more greedy and afraid of death, the easier it is to control them.

Since Zhushan County is fine, Mo Li's idea of ​​going out is even stronger.

"Thank you for your kindness. I have made up my mind and have been reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles. I always have to see the world outside Zhushan County." Mo Li stood up and said respectfully, "Because I don't know much about the outside world, please ask Xue Lingjun to teach me."

County Magistrate Xue pondered for a while and sighed, "Since Mr. Qin agreed, I will not stop you anymore. Master Li, go and bring the map on the study shelf. I have been the magistrate of Zhushan County for twenty-two years. According to the regulations of the Ministry of Personnel, the person who is equal to the position will remain. Zhushan County is located in a remote area and no one wants to come, so I have to ask for a bargain. Later, the world became more and more chaotic, and no one has any ideas about remote areas. I sat down peacefully until today, and during this period, I have experienced two worlds."

Mo Li listened carefully and didn't interrupt.

"The country is called Qi. Fifteen years ago, Lu Zhang, the general of the cavalry of the former dynasty, planned to rebel against the court and forced the palace to ascend the throne. At that time, several kings of the previous dynasty raised their troops in the south, but they were not successful. Now they are becoming more and more chaotic and separatist. These people fail to restore the country, and they are hostile to each other, and they all claim to be orthodox. If you go south, pay more attention and do not be regarded as a detailed work of other countries.

"There is also the King of Heaven, who is entrenched in the southwest area, and the villages there are all under the control of the Holy Lotus Altar. Don't stay at will, and don't trust the local people.

"Narrow of the Yellow River is the land of Qi, but there is no war. It's just that bandits are rampant, and the powerful aristocratic clans raise private soldiers, which is impossible to tell the truth, and they abuse lynching."

Magistrate Xue said this in one breath.

After hearing this, Mo Li asked seriously: "Is there any place to produce spiritual medicine? Or is there any auspicious sayings?"

County Magistrate Xue twitched the corner of his mouth: "After you go out, you can find a merchant selling medicinal materials to ask."

"What about the dragon vein? It is said that the dragon vein appears in the world and the spiritual medicine grows. How many dragon veins have those alchemists found?" Mo Li asked curiously.

"Well, there are many different opinions, no matter what the truth is true or false."

County Magistrate Xue touched his beard and pondered, "But there are dragon veins in Xianyang, Taijing, and it is unanimous to all families. However, there is no abnormality of birds and animals there, nor is there any spiritual medicine. Even if there is, it will be made up to flatter the emperor's auspiciousness."

Mo Li was modest in his teachings, and County Magistrate Xue said again: "As for the many sects and martial arts affairs in the martial arts world, Mr. Qin must have told you. This martial arts world has been a generation in three years, and the waves are washed away by the sand. I have been sitting here for a long time, just like Mr. Qin, I don't know the current situation. How careful you are when you go out? Anyway, with your martial arts, there is nothing to be afraid of. There is only one person, if you meet him, be careful not to face it head-on."

"Who?"
