Chapter 558 [Nanping Mountain Master and Apprentice]
Seeing the ashamed faces of several state officials, Fang Chang continued:
"I know that there is a person who is very skilled in this area. His name is Wei He. He is in Changzhou at the moment. If you are interested, you can try to send someone to ask for advice."
After finishing speaking, seeing the people around him nodding in agreement, Fang Chang felt that this was just right.
He didn't want to get too entangled, so he lifted his foot lightly, and the cloud rose under his foot, and he was gone in an instant.
Seeing this, Zhizhou reacted immediately, and he hurriedly said to Feng Tong next to him, "Hurry up and catch up with this Shangxian, please stay on the line!"
Feng Tong and the other cultivators tried to chase after him, but they immediately lost their temper.
Zhizhou was unknown, so he asked in confusion and anxiety: "What's wrong? Why didn't you catch up."
Feng Tong sighed: "This person's cultivation base is too strong, far beyond our reach, with our way of doing, we can't catch up at all."
Several practitioners who were with him also nodded.
Zhizhou had no choice but to shake his head and give up.
So the people dispersed, and everyone returned to their own work. The state government also quickly assigned staff to go to Changzhou to look for the water conservancy expert named Wei He, and ask him how to plan the local water conservancy projects.
...
Fang Changyun's head was extremely fast, and he went far away in one breath.
After traveling through the sky for half an hour, he pressed the head of the cloud and landed on the ground again.
Looking at the surrounding location, this place is already west of Yunzhong Mountain, but not far from Nanping Mountain. Thinking that although he had exchanged letters over the years, but had never met his old friend Sang Ziping, Fang Chang simply came to "pass the cloud mountain without entering", and went to visit his old friend first.
Fang Chang still remembers the journey to Nanping Mountain back then, and the past few years have not changed much.
First, I found a place to rest for the night, then walked across the village and town for about half a day, and arrived at Nanping Mountain.
The scenery here is not much different from the last time I came, nothing more than the village has expanded a little bit, with a few more straw piles outside the village and a few new trees growing. The road was still the same, and the surroundings were still as green as last time, and even the shape of the fields on both sides of the road hadn't changed much.
However, there seems to be a stream beside the village.
The stream meanders out of the village along the terrain, and finally flows into a pool at the foot of Nanping Mountain. Fang Chang is also familiar with this water pool. When he came to Nanping Mountain last time, he caught a big fish from it as a gift for Sang Ziping.
Fang Chang walked into the village and walked towards the place where Sang Ziping's master and apprentice lived in his memory.
Then he discovered the source of the stream, and couldn't help laughing: it turns out that there are many more bamboo canals in this village. Canals made of bamboo run around the mountain, from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, and the clear water rushes along the canals, leading to people's houses and dripping on the ground, and then gathers together along the stone streets to form a the new creek.
Bamboo canals are spread in the mountains, just like the warp threads on a loom, which are being made into cloth by water flow. I don’t know what kind of clothes they are going to cut into. It seems that this has become a scene here.
This time, Fang Chang will certainly not come empty-handed. The medicinal materials on Xianqi Cliff have been collected many times, and there are many elixir.
Sang Ziping's courtyard is located at the highest point in the mountain village.
Even ordinary people can smell the strong medicinal fragrance from the small courtyard from a distance. That is because most of the medicinal materials used by Sang Ziping's master and apprentice to practice medicine are collected, planted and processed by himself, and only a small part of them are in Nanping Mountain. They only purchase medicinal materials that are not produced.
Beside the courtyard, Fang Chang also saw the original bamboo canal.
The bamboo sections on it are different from old to new, and have obviously been repaired and replaced. This bamboo canal was made when Chief Fang came here last time, but he did not expect it to have become a fashion. It seems that the common people are always motivated to achieve a more convenient and comfortable life.
The courtyard door was open, and Fang Chang walked in directly.
Mu Anning is sitting in the clinic for a doctor's consultation. I haven't seen him for many years. The half-year-old boy at that time has grown into a young man. He is tall and thin, but his facial features are still the same as before, except for a light beard. There was an old man sitting in front of Mu Anning, who was stretching out his hand on the cushion on the table. Mu Anning's fingers lightly touched the old man's wrist.
He had already performed the steps of looking, smelling and asking, so after the pulse diagnosis, Mu Anning pulled the paper next to him and was about to write on it.
At this time, he saw Fang Chang next to him.
"Mr. Fang!"
Mu Anning shouted happily.
Practitioners have a clear mind and soul, so their thinking and memory are often excellent. Almost instantly, he recognizes the old person.
Fang Chang waved his hand, signaling him to concentrate on diagnosis and treatment without distraction.
Mu Anning understood, and turned to continue writing the prescription. He handed the written prescription to the old man, told him how to use it, opened the medicine cabinet and took a few doses of medicine before sending it out the door.
"Sir, please come in and sit down for a while, I'll call my master."
"You don't have to shout, he's already here." Fang Chang looked up at the mountain behind the small courtyard, and then he asked Mu Anning, "Did your master go up the mountain to collect medicine?"
"No, we have opened up a medicine field on the mountain. Recently, Master is preparing materials and wants to open a new batch of pills." Mu Anning said while letting Fang Chang into the room. As a medical center, hot water was burning on the stove all the year round, and he fetched it to make tea for Fang Chang.
Fang Chang took out several prepared jade boxes from his backpack and put them on the table, he said: "The elixir on Xianqi Cliff looks good, I brought you some, when your master comes, let him have a look." Is alchemy useful?"
Then, he looked at Mu Anning's complexion and found that he was newlywed.
This was unexpected, but there is no need to prepare in advance. Fang Chang directly took out two heavy gold bars from his backpack:
"Seeing that you just got married, use these."
"Ah, this, thank you, Mr. Fang." Mu Anning froze for a moment, but it was because he was puzzled, why Mr. Fang could tell that he was just married. He simply and neatly accepted the gold bars. Although Mu Anning practiced the worldly way, as a practitioner, he didn't value money very much, so he was very chic in this regard.
While speaking, Sang Ziping pushed open the courtyard door and walked into the courtyard with a basket on his back.
Fang Chang immediately stood up to greet him, bowed his hands in salute, and said with a smile, "Long time no see."
Sang Ziping also laughed heartily: "I was just working on those elixirs in the medicine field. I was halfway through the work when I suddenly felt someone visiting here, so I threw down the medicine **** and came back quickly. Unexpectedly, what a rare visitor!"
