"You're leaving tomorrow?"

The master called Liu Zhiyi into the study.

He has never entered his master's study for three months since he was studying medicine. At this time, he solemnly called him in, which made him happy. Could it be that it was the legendary teaching of the unique skills?

Liu Zhiyi was very respectful: "Reply to Master's words and leave tomorrow."

He added: "Go to Beijing with Senior Brother Zhou."

The master added: "Okay, have a look after each other."

Then there was a moment of silence. Liu Zhiyi observed it in detail and realized that the master's expression was a little unnatural, as if he had something to say.

He asked on his own initiative: "Master, do you have something to explain to the disciple?"

The master nodded, was silent for a moment before speaking, "Master wants to ask you to do something."

The master lowered his head slightly, his face turned a little red. Liu Zhiyi did not point it out and continued to ask: "Master, you are too polite. Just give me instructions if you have something to do."

Then the master said, "You will be able to pass the medical examination at least 50% of the chances. If you enter the Taixue School, Master wants you to ask me if there are any Nanman witch doctor medical books offered by Lingnan in the Taixue School."

"Southern Barbarian Witch Doctor?"

Liu Zhiyi was confused and had never heard of it.

The Great Xia Kingdom has a vast territory, with a distance of 8,000 miles from north to south. It reaches the desert directly from the northern border, and goes deep into dense forests in the south.

These territory were all captured. The grassland Beidi tribe was originally occupied south of the desert, but was expelled to the north of the desert. The Daxia Kingdom set up Yinshan, Yunzhong and Yanshan three border counties in the south of the desert. The south of the five ridges in the south of the south is humid and hot and densely covered with jungles. There were originally some barbarian tribes living. The Daxia Kingdom fought south and drove these southern barbarian tribes into the depths of the jungle, and two border counties in Lingnan East County and Lingnan West County were set up in Lingnan. In addition, after the Rong people in the west came to Xueshan Mountain, Yushan County and Yanzhi County were built, and the Daxia Kingdom had a total of nine border counties.

Whether it is the Western Rong, the Northern Di in the north, or the Southern Barbarians in the south, these tribes are too far away for the people of the Central Plains. The real situation is very little known to the scholars in the Hanlin Academy. Ordinary people at most hearsay and are full of all kinds of strange colors.

Speaking of the Southern Barbarians, Liu Zhiyi can only reflect rough strange stories such as "a place of malaria", "companion with snakes and insects", "respecting women. Only knowing their mother, not their father". I heard that the Southern Barbarians still live on trees and do not wear clothes. Will there be medical books in such tribes?

The master nodded: "Yes, the witch doctor of the Southern Barbarians. After Taizu joined Lingnan, many Southern Barbarian tribes were attached to each other and were named chieftains. I had traveled to Lingnan and met their witch doctors. However, the Southern Barbarians did not understand the writing and had never been passed down from generation to generation. I heard that some military medical officers had included the medical skills of the Southern Barbarians and compiled them into books, which might have been hidden in the Taixue."

Liu Zhiyi nodded. Taixue is the cultural context of the world. Taixue brings together the world's knowledge, various schools of thought, and all kinds of classics and classics. The Daxia Dynasty was passed down to the fifth generation. The prosperous era established by the first three emperors has not yet passed. Taixue included a vast sea of ​​documents. If someone had compiled medical books from the Southern Barbarians, he would definitely be found in Taixue.

But Liu Zhiyi was a little confused: "Master wants to learn the medical skills of the Southern Barbarians?"

The Great Xia Dynasty was the world empire at this time, representing the most advanced culture. Why do you still have to learn medicine from backward tribes? Liu Zhiyi was very suspicious that in places like the Nanman, where even textiles cannot be even possible, there is probably no distinction between medical skills and witchcraft. Can there be real medicine?

The master shook his head: "The Southern Barbarian witch doctor also has advantages. I heard that the witch doctor has a method to control insects, which is good at using a blood worm to implant into the human body to control blood and energy. The Southern Barbarian warriors use their bodies to nourish insects, and their blood qi is strong, and they are not inferior to martial arts masters."

Liu Zhiyi understood and nodded: "Master, don't worry, after the disciple was admitted to the Imperial Academy, he will definitely go find the bloodworm classics and help the master copy them back."

The master nodded: "There will be a puppet."

Liu Zhiyi said: "Master, you need not be polite."

Then the master and the disciple were speechless again. Liu Zhiyi looked at the master silently, and the master also looked at the disciple silently, staring at him with big eyes.

After a while, Liu Zhiyi asked unwillingly: "Does the master have anything to tell the disciple?"

The master shook his head and picked up the teacup.

Liu Zhiyi was quite disappointed and said depressedly: "Disciple leaves."

There are no secrets? There are no unique skills?

However, it is not surprising that if Mr. Fang really had any secrets, he would not have been a wandering doctor in his life and would have long become a famous medical expert. This is really just a rural doctor who travels and practices medicine all his life, works diligently and is a kind of honest person.

"Let's go. I remembered another thing again."

As soon as he turned around, the master called himself again.

Remember it? There are really secrets!

Liu Zhiyi turned around and looked at his master with expectations.

The master pondered for a moment: "I remembered that I forgot to give you a doctor's name."

That's it?

Sure enough, we shouldn't have hope.

Liu Zhiyi gave up.

The master casually said, "Just ask the insect!"

What?

Liu Zhiyi was a little stunned and thought he had heard it wrong.

"Master, do you say it again?"

Mr. Fang was also a little embarrassed. Perhaps he realized that his name was too casual and utilitarian. He wanted his apprentice to help find bloodworm documents, so he named him and asked him about the insects casually, which clearly reminded him not to forget his master's affairs.

He explained: "Don't underestimate insects. Flowers, plants, carp and insects can be used as medicine. Asking for one insect has a deep meaning!"

Liu Zhiyi blinked his eyes. This time he heard it clearly, it was really called "Ask Worm". What a broken name? Of course, worms can be used as medicine. Ants, scorpions, centipedes, and earthworms are all medicinal materials, but this has a half-cent money to do with people's names, so you just don't bother to name them seriously. No wonder the senior sister Fang Rong female doctor named "Ask Worm", and feelings are the same way.

He was dissatisfied and said, "Mr. Xie gave him a name. Is there anything else to do with him?"

The master said, "By the way. I'm going to go for a follow-up visit tomorrow, so I won't send you there."

Liu Zhiyi was not expecting it and hurriedly said, "That disciple will leave."

This time I left my master's study like I was escaping, and as soon as I walked out of the door, I ran into my senior sister.

"What did my dad tell you?"

What to say? Say the name!

But he wouldn't even say that he would kill him. After leaving this door, he planned to forget it. Just as the senior sister never mentioned her and called Fang Wenhua, Liu Zhiyi would never tell others that he was Liu Wenchong, otherwise he would die in a social way. It would be too embarrassing to let people know that they wouldn't have to find a crack in the ground to get in.

Ask the insect?

Looking at his senior sister, Liu Zhiyi suddenly realized that the master asked him to help find the bloodworm classics, probably because of his senior sister's heart disease.

After returning from the last time he returned from the medicine, Liu Zhiyi reported his senior sister's heart disease to his master Fang Wenwen. Unexpectedly, Fang Wenwen was not surprised at all, and he didn't say much, just said he knew. Liu Zhiyi understood at that time that Fang Wenwen should have known about his daughter's condition for a long time, but he kept silent. Congenital heart disease, in the era of being able to launch spacecraft, is a medical chronic disease. In this era of looking, listening, asking and touching, what method can be cured? So the best way is to not tell her daughter that she has a terminal illness, at least she can make her live happily.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhiyi did not mention the blood worm.

The next morning, I went to Fenji Hall early. The master could not see him off, and the disciples could not refuse to leave. At the same time, I answered Zhou Wenqing last time.

My mother took two maids and a strong man who looked like he was carrying a bag in his arms, and sent Liu Zhiyi to Chunfeng Pavilion, then watched him walk towards the West Street, and waited in the pavilion.

After a while, after saying goodbye, Master, he returned to Chunfeng Pavilion with Zhou Wenqing and Fang Rongnu.

Mother's eyes were filled with tears.

Liu Zhiyi comforted him: "Mom. I will finish the exam in a few days, and I will be back soon after the exam."

My father sent my brother to the army and had not returned yet. Liu Zhiyi was the only male in the family. He was not at ease when he went out for a long time.

The mother nodded: "Take a good exam. If you enter the Imperial Academy, even if you are glorious to the Liu family, and the Liu family's generations of martial artists will be very easy to become a scholar, so you must be successful."

Liu Zhiyi nodded: "Mom, don't worry. Mr. Fang said I will definitely pass the exam."

Fang Rongnu next to him curled his lips. His father had never said this before. He only said half of it. Whether the exam was done depends on luck. However, Senior Brother Zhou is sure to win.

My mother stopped when she left the street and took two maids to watch her son. The strong man of the same age was a cousin of the same clan. He was eighteen years old and worked as a long-term worker in the Liu family with his father. He did some rough work that women could not do. This time he was responsible for taking care of him and acting as a temporary book boy.

The group of four walked to the bridge and had another separation, this time it was Fang Rong's daughter.

"Sister sister stayed there. There was no need to send it."

Liu Zhiyi said.

Zhou Wenqing clasped his fists: "Junior Sister Fang stayed and said goodbye."

"My junior brother, Senior Brother Zhou, I'll send it here. There is no one in the shop, so I have to go back to see the shop."

As he spoke, he looked at Xia Jingcheng on the other side of the bridge, his eyes were full of yearning. When he was fourteen years old, he had only been to Xia Jing three times, once to buy medicine, and the other two were to go to the aid hospital for free medical treatment, and it happened several years ago. In recent years, in addition to collecting herbs, Fang Rongnu rarely walked out of the Chunfeng Pavilion.

After saying that, Liu Zhiyi, Zhou Wenqing and a strong man of the same clan stepped onto the Wansheng Bridge and walked towards Xia Jing.

There are three days left before the exam, but you can't be idle for these three days.

The exam has a certain process. The early work, Liu Dadao, had already completed it before leaving. He first took the household registration to the county school teaching office to register. After a brief inspection, the teacher will deliver the list to the county school and finally to the Imperial College. After completing these registrations, Liu Zhiyi is not yet considered a formal candidate. Three days before the exam, he has to go to the tribute school to verify his identity. The tribute school announced the list of candidates the day before the exam. The day before the exam, he needs to go to the tribute school to receive the exam card.

This test process is very cumbersome, but compared with the imperial examination, it is already very simplified. The imperial examination examination is more strict. Not only does it require household registration, but it also requires a post of academic registration issued by officials at all levels such as township and county schools. Finally, when the verdict is verified, it cannot even wear clothes.

After entering the city, I first found an inn very close to the Gongyuan. On the second day, I went to the Gongyuan with Zhou Wenqing to verify my identity. On the third day, I saw their names on the announced list, so I waited for the fourth day to go in for the exam.
Chapter completed!
