Chapter 20 The Delicious Old Friend

The Zhao family's ancestral home was in Hedong. After General Zhao's accident in Baidi, the Zhao family took the bones of General Zhao back to Hedong for burial.After Jinshang ascended the throne, the mausoleum at the foot of Hedongxi Mountain where General Zhao Xiao was buried was refurbished.

The mausoleum was built magnificently, but there were no people on the tomb passage to the cemetery. The Zhao family now settled in Chang'an, and there were no people here in Hedong except for a few clans and Nanny Chai.

Ji Chongyan and Lin Yan stood in front of the tomb of the king who was posthumously named King Zhao after his death, and lit incense. After three worships, they began to wipe the tombstone. This is an old custom in Hedong. some.

The tombstone was wiped clean by the mausoleum guardians every day. After wiping the tombstone with ease, Ji Chongyan and Lin Yan stood for a while, said a few words of blessing, then turned and left.On the way back, apart from the two of them, there was no one else to be seen on the majestic King's Tomb Road. For some reason, I always felt a little lonely and desolate.

"Chongyan," Lin Yan couldn't help asking Ji Chongyan again while walking halfway, "Do you really want to bring Nanny Chai?"

Ji Chongyan nodded: "I've made up my mind."

"I'm afraid that Nanny Chai will be too old to bear the exhaustion of the journey." Lin Yan was a little hesitant.

He is used to investigating and deciding cases, and likes to think about problems without human nature.

Nanny Chai at this age is indeed not suitable for long journeys.

"Not going far," Ji Chongyan subconsciously rubbed the white jade finger on his thumb after hearing what he said, and said, "This place is not far from Baoling City. I will take Nanny Chai to Baoling. The scenery in that place is suitable. , I happen to have a mansion too, so I put Nanny Chai there first."

After hearing this, Lin Yan's eyes flashed, and he didn't say much.

They left Beijing this time to track down the twelve luminous pearls that were stolen. Before that, luminous pearls appeared in the pawnshop of Baoling Jiafengxuan, so they must go to Baoling City this trip.

Baoling is indeed a suitable place to live as Chongyan said, so it is not a problem for Chai Mama to go there.

"I asked people to inquire about many famous doctors in the Jianghu. There is a Zen master who will pass through Baoling recently. I heard that this person has a lot of research on medical skills and likes to use swords. I want to try my luck." Ji Chongyan said, "Furthermore, the former Although the Yonghe Study has fallen, it still has a lot of rare medical classics and ancient books in it, so I think we can give it a try."

"If it doesn't work, I will invite a famous doctor to Baoling. This place is surrounded by water on three sides, so it is convenient to travel. It happens that I have seen all the famous doctors in the north. Why don't I go to the south to find a famous doctor."

Taking Nanny Chai away was not a temporary idea, but the result of his careful consideration.

"That's good." Lin Yan clicked here, and felt that there was nothing to say, "Well, let's take Nanny Chai to Baoling. She hasn't been out of Hedong for a long time, and she's all for sightseeing. It's water."

"You and I continue to investigate the case, and the matter of Nanny Chai will not affect the two of us in our pursuit of Ye Mingzhu's whereabouts." Ji Chongyan made the final decision.

……

Today is Qingming Day, Jiang Shaoyan got up early in the morning, but did not wash up immediately and rushed to Guangming Nunnery, Jing Yuan, a disciple of Mrs. Jingci, came over before dawn and said to Jiang Shaoyan: "Master He said that he had made an appointment with Miss Jiang Si to see Zen Master Huijue today, but Zen Master Huijue came over in the middle of the night. If the intellectual nun who got up at night hadn't noticed something was wrong and opened the door, Zen Master Huijue might have to stay outside the nunnery. It's midnight."

"Because he was in time for the journey and the cold wind blew for half a day, Chan Master Huijue was very hungry when he entered the nunnery. He even ate several peony flower marinated green balls taught by Miss Jiang Si. He was full of praise, and the master kindly praised Si. A few words from Miss." At this point, Jingyuan was a little embarrassed to look at Jiang Shaoyan's face, the master clearly regarded Miss Jiang Si as a rare confidant, and he was full of praise, so how could it be a mere few words?As a result, Zen Master Huijue was completely intrigued, and asked if there were other things besides these flowers and hazelnuts.

After hearing the words, Mrs. Jingci had no choice but to ask Jingyuan to come over to report the letter, and made an "unfeeling request".

But even though it was an "unfeeling request", Jingyuan felt that Master didn't look embarrassed at all, but was looking forward to it!
Of course, the stomachs of Mrs. Jingci and Mrs. Huijue are not iron-clad. After eating two whole plates of fresh flower marinated green balls in the morning, some accumulated food, which takes time to digest, so they made an appointment with Jiang Shaoyan to come back after noon. Of course , don't forget to bring snacks.

Of course, the original words of the master were not so straightforward, but Jing Yuan, as the eldest disciple of Master Jing Ci, still understood the meaning, so he brought the words.

Fortunately, Miss Jiang Si just smiled when she heard the words, and readily agreed.

It turned out that the old friend that Mrs. Jingci mentioned was Zen Master Huijue. Jiang Shaoyan had never heard of the name of Zen Master Huijue, but after Jingyuan left, she called Guanshi Bai.

The original owner didn't know much about foreign affairs, so now she had to slowly figure it out.

Hearing Jiang Shaoyan ask about Zen Master Huijue, Guan Bai knew about this person even though he knew about him. He heard that he was good at medicine, but he didn't take many shots. Even doctors like to take the edge of the sword.

Jiang Shaoyan wanted to laugh when he heard the words "swords go slanted".Her half-master, that miracle doctor Zhang, is not only good at medicine, but also has a sharp mouth when judging others. He once said to her, "What kind of sword is biased? This so-called genius doctor is not good at medicine but poison. Healing poison is not good. Separating families, the so-called slanting sword is mostly fighting poison with poison", she was dubious about this at the time, but now she heard Guanshi Bai mention this Chan Master Huijue who likes slanting swords, and thinking of what Master Jingci said earlier, she couldn't help Feeling that Mrs. Jingci really took herself as a bosom friend and told the truth.

Just as he was thinking about it, Bai Guanshi added: "I have only heard of the name of Zen Master Huijue. I heard that he first came from a small temple in the southwest mountains, and then traveled around the world and became famous since then."

This further confirmed her guess.In the southwest, the five poisons are rampant. Gu, poison, and medicine are all well-known. This Chan Master Huijue must have obtained materials from nearby sources to achieve such achievements.

With Bai Guanshi's clarification, Jiang Shaoyan already understood most of Zen Master Huijue before she met him. The trouble she has now is poison, and this Zen Master Huijue can be regarded as the right medicine for her.

When Jiang Shaoyan got the answer, she didn't bother Guan Bai any more.After all, that Jiang Hui in the West Courtyard was invisible to her, but since she came to Baoling, she had to take care of three meals a day.I heard that Jiang Hui has been tossing about this matter a lot, but since he didn't come to her, it should be because he was still in pain from the beating two days ago, so he didn't come to the East Court to cause trouble.On the contrary, Guanshi Bai seems to have been disturbed a lot by him, but Guanshi Bai didn't say anything in front of her just now, so he can handle it, Jiang Shaoyan didn't mind his own business.

How could a person like Jiang Hui remember his lesson after being beaten severely?If he doesn't come down three or five times, he won't behave. Jiang Shaoyan has already prepared for this, and has already ordered Xiao Wu to find a thug in case of emergency.

Leaving Jiang Hui behind for the time being, Jiang Shaoyan didn't go to the kitchen immediately, but went to the wine cellar under the house, and took out two jars of rice wine from the corner of the wine cellar.

This dim sum needs to use this.
