Chapter 357: The forgotten unlucky guy in the original work
March 3rd, Qingming Festival.
Xiao Qing came to the front of Tongren Hall and saw "willow branches" inserted in front of the door, knowing that Gu Qing had returned. But the lock hanging on the big door indicated that Gu Qing had already left home.
Xiao Qing was still worried. She jumped up, wanting to cross the wall, but a divine light flashed in front of the door, and two door gods appeared, blocking Xiao Qing outside.
"Two Divine Lords."
Xiao Qing did not "spar" with the two door gods, but retreated and saluted, asking: "When did Gu Qing come back, where did he go, and is there any strong liquor or god-descending incense in the courtyard?"
Putting strong liquor and burning god-descending incense is the method for the Fire-Managing Boy to let Gu Qing progress.
As for when Gu Qing came back and when he went out, this was also a question Xiao Qing had been concerned about in recent days.
Since Xu Xian got married, Xiao Qing hadn't seen Gu Qing.
The door gods hummed. They didn't want to pay attention, but seeing Xiao Qing's intention was very sincere, they said: "Everything in this house has been arranged by Gu Qing. As for Gu Qing, he went out to treat people's illnesses."
Went out to treat illnesses.
Xiao Qing nodded and walked on the street, very annoyed. Seeing that on this Qingming Festival, willow branches were inserted on doors everywhere in Hangzhou, meaning "bright eyes," but Xiao Qing felt that Gu Qing was blind, actually unable to see that she was a woman.
A few days ago, Gu Qing sincerely expressed that as long as it was her, it didn't matter if she was a man or a woman.
But later, the Fairy of the Hundred Flowers changed Gu Qing, making Gu Qing like women. This is a very normal thing, but in Xiao Qing's view, this was erasing Gu Qing's feelings for her. Then Xiao Qing got jealous and pulled Bai Suzhen to anger Gu Qing.
After that, seeing Gu Qing's sulking appearance, Xiao Qing found it funny in her heart and was prepared to reveal her identity. But she didn't expect that after Xu Xian got married, the distance between the two suddenly widened. Recently, she couldn't even see Gu Qing.
"Xiao Qing."
Bai Suzhen's voice was in front.
Xiao Qing looked up, hurriedly called sister, walked to the front, and her eyes felt complicated unconsciously.
"Didn't see him, right?"
Bai Suzhen was as gentle as water, pulling Xiao Qing's wrist.
Xiao Qing was listless and nodded slightly.
"I do know where he is."
Bai Suzhen patted Xiao Qing's hand and said gently.
"You know?"
Xiao Qing felt even worse in her heart.
Gu Qing's sudden remark about having thoughts about his wife and fearing he would be unworthy of her was also one of the reasons for Xiao Qing's recent panic. Usually, she would unconsciously compare herself with Bai Suzhen, but facing her sister who had practiced for 1,700 years and had more than 2,000 years of Dao practice, Xiao Qing always felt inferior.
"Didn't you go to see Xu Xian today?"
Xiao Qing deliberately changed the subject.
Bai Suzhen smiled and combed her hair, saying: "She and her husband are newlyweds, they are going to worship their ancestors, and then go to Xihu to play. No need to watch them all the time." Speaking of this, today's Bai Suzhen felt uneasy whenever she thought of Xihu. She pinched her fingers to calculate, but couldn't figure out the reason.
But Bai Suzhen always felt that some disaster seemed about to happen.
"Gu Qing is treating the illness of Old Man Zhang's daughter."
Bai Suzhen turned the topic back, pulled Xiao Qing's wrist, and smiled softly: "Follow me this way."
The two walked quickly on the street until they reached the front of a street, seeing that there were many people surrounding it, and some people said "Doctor Gu is treating," which made Xiao Qing's mood improve. She walked quickly into the crowd, operated her magic power, and squeezed to the front.
Not seen for several days, Gu Qing's face was like ice and jade, his eyes had divine light, and his demeanor was better than before. In front of Gu Qing was a delicate and beautiful girl, her expression dull, speaking incoherently, letting Gu Qing use golden needles to prick her head.
"The sins of this Liang Prince's mansion are really many."
"Mingzhu is such a good girl."
Xiao Qing heard this from the side and only then knew that the girl in this family was defiled by Liang Lian of the Liang Prince's mansion, and from then on became dull. Her father, Old Man Zhang, was a night-soil seller, and there was not much money in the family. No famous doctor in Hangzhou could cure Mingzhu's illness.
Old Man Zhang found Gu Qing, also just trying it out. He didn't expect that after hearing this, Gu Qing actually didn't charge a consultation fee and happily came here to treat Mingzhu's illness.
"Liang Lian really should die ugly."
Xiao Qing was indignant and asked the people next to her what crime Liang Lian had been sentenced to recently.
"Who knows."
The person next to her said: "The Emperor hasn't decided yet, and might even let everyone in the Liang Prince's mansion go."
"The servants of the Liang Prince's mansion have been bullying people in Lin'an City recently. Their arrogance is too high!"
"Those servants are running around everywhere now, and seem to have gone to Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang to find a Zen master for help, wanting to escape punishment."
Xiao Qing stood on the side, looking at the girl Gu Qing was treating, and anger rose in her heart again. She wanted to kill Liang Lian.
"Her fear is deep in her bones, and the harm she suffered is too great."
Gu Qing gradually withdrew the needles and said to Old Man Zhang: "When I come to apply needles tomorrow, I will bring some medicine. Your daughter's recovery will take about half a month to a month."
Gu Qing looked at Mingzhu, and there was also some pity in his eyes.
This girl's family was considered unlucky. Mingzhu was defiled by Liang Lian and went crazy. Old Man Zhang in the future risked his life to save Xu Xian, hoping that Xu Xian could save his daughter. As a result, Old Man Zhang died, and Xu Xian seemed to have forgotten about saving the daughter...
"Many thanks, Doctor, many thanks, Doctor."
Old Man Zhang bowed to Gu Qing repeatedly.
Gu Qing gained merit, looked at Old Man Zhang and Mingzhu, and suddenly had a hellish thought: You should be grateful that the current Zhu Xi is very young...
Gu Qing was about to pull away, but some onlookers on the side shouted invitations one after another. Some said their old mother was seriously ill in bed, some said they had been mentally depressed for many days, and so on, all of which seemed to be strange illnesses. After hearing this, Gu Qing nodded slightly to Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing, and followed these people to see patients everywhere. Because it was the Qingming Festival, Gu Qing turned it into a free clinic.
After this round of treatment, it was already near noon.
Gu Qing collected his medicine box, ate a meal at someone's house, and after going out, saw Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing outside. Gu Qing greeted them happily.
"Gu Qing, Gu Qing..."
Xiao Qing waved repeatedly. Seeing that there was no one around, her body swayed slightly, and she quietly changed from a handsome young man. In an instant, she was wearing a green skirt, beautiful and cold, tilting her head, looking at Gu Qing happily, and said: "Look at me!"
"Brother Cen..."
Gu Qing was full of astonishment and said: "Why do you like wearing women's clothes?"
"Ah?"
Xiao Qing's enthusiasm turned into surprise.
Hangzhou, Xihu.
Xu Xian was holding Pei Yaoqin and playing on the Broken Bridge. An old monk walked toward them, kind-eyed and pleasant, holding a golden bowl. After seeing Xu Xian, he blocked the road, his voice loud, and shouted: "Little benefactor, we meet again."
Xu Xian nodded and said: "Master, you wouldn't want me to become your disciple again, would you?"
"Haha..."
Fa Hai laughed long and said: "Everything has its own destiny. It's just that the time is not right now."
The master-disciple relationship between Fa Hai and Xu Xian had been set for more than a thousand years, just like the relationship between Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen... Fa Hai looked at Pei Yaoqin beside him and asked: "Who is she?"
"Master, this is my wife."
Xu Xian said happily.
"That's not right."
Fa Hai was stunned.
