Chapter 144 Sun Simiao
"Taiyi is close to the capital of the sky, and the mountains are connected to the sea. The white clouds look back together, and the green mist enters and sees nothing. The peaks change in the field, the cloudy and sunny are different. If you want to live somewhere, ask the woodcutter across the water."

Zhongnan Mountain, known as the crown of the cave, stretches for [-] miles to the west from [-] miles outside Chang'an City.

Zhongnan Mountain is also the backyard of the imperial capital, and Gai is also called Taiyi Mountain because of the perennial mist shrouded in the mountain, which looks like a fairyland. It is a holy place for cultivating Taoism.

Wang Qiongneng, the Imperial Physician, was the head of the Imperial Physicians of the Tang Dynasty, and his medical skills are outstanding, which cannot be questioned.

But the officials are not necessarily the best, at least in Li Ke's eyes, at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the best doctor in the world was definitely not Wang Qiong, the imperial physician, but Sun Simiao, the king of medicine with countless living people. Her medicine house is located in this deep south mountain.

Sun Simiao lived a long life, born in the seventh year of Datong in the Western Wei Dynasty, and he is nearly ninety years old. In the Tang Dynasty, such a life expectancy is definitely one of the few, if not unique.

And since Li Ke entered the palace to remonstrate yesterday, Li Ke mentioned the matter of Sun Simiao to Li Shimin.

It's just that in the first year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin also sent someone to Zhongnan Mountain to invite Sun Simiao to enter the palace to serve as the imperial physician. Li Shimin also had nothing to do with him.

However, this time, in order to save Du Ruhui's life, Li Ke still asked Li Shimin to go to Mount Zhongnan as a prince, and Sun Simiao had no reason to refuse.

Li Shimin was eager to save Du Ruhui, since Li Ke voluntarily ran there, Li Shimin had no objection, so he accepted it, gave him a talisman, and led Li Ke to Zhongnan Mountain.

Although Sun Simiao was studying medicine books in the mountains, he was not completely isolated from the world. Li Ke ordered people to question the mountain people living in Zhongnan Mountain carefully, and finally asked about Sun Simiao's residence.

Sun Simiao lived in Nanmengxi, in the hinterland of Zhongnan Mountain. Li Ke rode a horse, accompanied by Wang Xuance and a group of royal guards, to explore the mountain along the rugged and difficult mountain road.

Li Ke looked at the scenery on both sides of the mountain road, with red fruits accompanied by flowers, rainbows like strings, and the strange colors are extremely beautiful. Li Ke couldn't help sighing to Wang Xuance next to him: "I never thought that there would be such a beautiful scenery in Zhongnan Mountain. If I had known it earlier, I would have known it earlier." It’s time to check it out.”

Wang Xuance said: "This place is already in the deep mountains of Zhongnan. Although the scenery is superb, it is also extremely difficult to find. It is fate to see this scenery today."

Hearing this, Li Ke said with a smile: "Mt. Zhongnan is so big, and this place is very remote. If those so-called famous scholars in Zhongnan really want to be those who escape the world, they can go a few more steps to the west and come here. Mengxi, the custodian emperor can't find it even if he tries to find it."

Nanmengxi is extremely remote. If it wasn't for Sun Simiao and other well-known celebrities, and Li Ke was guided by the mountain people to follow the map, ordinary scholars living here would not be aware of it. He is a literati who has become an official, so he said this.

Wang Xuance also has the heart of fame and fame, but he seeks the right path, and he also disdains those so-called hermits, Wang Xuance said: "The so-called hermits are just gaining fame with the name of being born in the world, thinking that they will be promoted as a bargaining chip for becoming an official Forget it, those who are just trying to catch fame and fame can be regarded as high-ranking scholars."

Li Ke listened to Wang Xuance's words and nodded in agreement.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there were not many people who borrowed Zhongnan Mountain to live in seclusion in order to seek fame. During the reign of Xuanzong, after the famous Taoist Sima Chengzhen, the trend suddenly rose, and there was even talk of a shortcut to Zhongnan.

However, Sun Simiao is obviously not a person who seeks fame and reputation. If he intends to become an official, he would have been a leader as early as the former Sui Dynasty. Why should he guard his medical books in this deep mountain and wait for dozens of cold and heat.

Sun Simiao's medicine house is located outside the dense forest beside the Nanmeng River, and it was built by the river. Li Ke searched for a long time before he found it.

The medicine house is not big, not to mention that it is compared with Li Kehua's Prince Chu's Mansion with thousands of rooms, even the ordinary families in Chang'an are not as good.

"True hermit, it should be so." Li Ke stood in front of the medicine hut, looked at the few simple wooden houses in front of him and sighed.

Li Ke and his party arrived outside the medicine hut, Li Ke's guards were about to knock on the door, but Li Ke stopped him with his hand. Sun Simiao is a famous person in the world, how can he be neglected at will.

Li Ke stopped the guards who were about to go forward, walked outside the gate of the medicine house in person, and said loudly to the door: "Sun Zhenzhen, the boy Li Ke is here to pay a visit, and I hope to open the door to see you."

Li Kezhi said the words, and after a while, a hale and hearty old man with half-white beard and hair walked out of the medicine hut. At first glance, at most, he was in the year of knowing his destiny. Who would have thought that this was an old man who was nearly a hundred years old.

The old man opened the door, and at a glance, he saw more than a dozen people standing outside the door. He looked at Li Ke, who stood at the front of the crowd, who was dressed luxuriously and had an extraordinary appearance. He came to see a doctor.

Sun Simiao looked at Li Ke and asked, "I don't know which family the young master is from, so what's the point of coming to find the old Taoist?"

Sun Simiao is different from ordinary doctors. Apart from curing diseases and saving people, he is also a person who practices Taoism, so he calls himself Taoism.

Li Ke cupped his hands and replied: "The boy is Li Ke, the king of Chu in the Tang Dynasty. This time, he came here at the order of his father, and asked Zhenren Sun to come out and help him."

After hearing Li Ke's words, Sun Simiao showed a hint of surprise on his calm face.

When he heard the word Li Ke in the room before, he only thought that he had misunderstood, or that he was someone with the same name. Now that he heard Li Ke's words, he realized that he had heard the word Li Ke correctly. The third prince Li Ke.

Sun Simiao clasped his hands and replied, "It turned out that it was actually the King of Chu in person, the old Taoist must have been rude."

Hearing this, Li Ke asked, "Do real people know Li Ke's name?"

Although Sun Simiao lived here in seclusion and wrote books, he was not completely isolated from the world. He had heard of Li Ke's name.

Sun Simiao replied: "Naturally, His Highness went abroad as a hostage for four years in order to save the people in Guanzhong. There are countless people alive. How can the old man not know?"

Li Ke said modestly: "The boy is only doing his best, and he is not as good as a real person who is knowledgeable about the past and the present, and writes books to benefit the world."

Sun Simiao was indifferent by nature and didn't have much thought about chatting with Li Ke here, so he asked: "Just now His Highness said that he came here on the emperor's order, but I don't know what is the important matter of His Majesty's edict?"

Li Ke said: "Father wants to ask Mr. to come out of the mountain to save people?"

Li Ke's words were already in Sun Simiao's expectation, the imperial court invited him to be an official in the palace, Sun Simiao was indifferent, naturally he didn't want it, even if he refused it would be fine.

But now Li Ke came here at the emperor's order, asking him to save someone, Sun Simiao was inconvenient to refuse directly.

Sun Simiao asked: "But I don't know who it is to save?"

Li Ke replied truthfully: "Shang Shu's right servant shoots, Du Xiang Du Ruhui."

Li Ke originally thought that since Sun Simiao had already asked someone, he should go there on purpose, and the doctors were benevolent, and since Li Ke came here in person, Sun Simiao definitely had no reason to refuse.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Li Ke's words, Sun Simiao immediately shook his head and said, "If Du Xiang is the one who is sick, please forgive the old man for not being able to go."
