Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 978 Looking for Gods in Zhongnan Mountain

In Zhongnan Mountain in Chang'an.

A group of light cavalry galloped on the mountain road, anxious as wind and fire.

The war horse was foaming at the mouth, but the knight on the horse didn't care about his mount at all, and was still galloping with his whip.Under normal circumstances, this kind of behavior would be dealt with by military law in the military.

But now, no one cares about the life and death of the horse.

In the hearts of these knights, there is only one thing left, which is to find Sun Simiao.

"Haven't you arrived yet?"

There is no road ahead, and the mount has no strength to gallop.

"Go back to the captain, and you are still in the valley on the opposite peak."

As the saying goes, looking at the mountain runs dead horses, looking at the mountain that seems to be on the opposite side, Li Junxian couldn't help but smile bitterly.The horse has no strength to run, and there is no way ahead.

"This Sun Simiao, Zhongnan Mountain is so big, why did he have to run to such an inaccessible place." Even so, Li Junxian could only say this, he dismounted and patted the horse's neck a few times , "Old man, go eat grass and rest by yourself, and I will come to you later."

With the knife in hand, Li Junxian beckoned, "Let's go!"

There are no roads, no horses to ride, but even if you go, you have to go.

This is their best chance. The emperor has been in a coma for three days. During these three days, the guards and the army have to investigate whether the emperor has been poisoned and cursed, and they have to find a good medicine.

It can be said that Li Junxian issued an order to the entire bodyguard and military mansion, and he spared no effort to search for doctors and medicines on behalf of him, but many doctors were found, even quack doctors, wizards and witches were found, and various folk remedies were also found. But in the face of the emperor's situation, they were all helpless.

Li Junxian could only detain these people first, and then continue to search.

Some people say that there is a great doctor in Zhongnan Mountain, named Sun Simiao, who has the art of rejuvenation, and is known as the king of medicine.

It is said that he was born in the seventh year of Datong in the Western Wei Dynasty. After calculation, he should be 81 years old now. This person was born in a poor farmer's family. He was very smart since he was a child. Seeing that there are many affairs in the country, he lived in seclusion in Nanshan for the rest of his life, and devoted himself to studying medicine.

He would go down the mountain for a period of time every year and travel to the countryside to treat the poor people, so he has a very high reputation among the people.

Before that, when Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, he also sent someone to Zhongnan Mountain to give him an official position. He wanted to ask him to be a medical officer in the court, but he refused.

"Captain, is this Sun Simiao really that powerful? If it's just a waste of fame, why don't we take another trip?" A school captain asked. In the past few days, they have invited thousands of famous doctors from all over the world. , but there are not many real genius doctors, most of them are quack doctors, or liars who sell dog skin plasters.

"Even if it's only one in ten thousand possibility, we have to give it a try."

Li Junxian is under a lot of pressure now, as the emperor's personal, and more deeply the emperor's confidant, he wants to see the emperor wake up earlier than anyone else.

"When Sun Simiao was still in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yang Jian invited him to Beijing as a doctor of Guozijian when he was the prime minister. It is said that he went to see Yang Jian and debated with many famous medical officials in the imperial court at that time. All the medical officials later called him Sun Simiao. Proficient in "Huangdi Neijing", "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases", "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" and other famous ancient medical books, I also heard that Sun Simiao has been writing his own medical books in recent years, called "Thousand Gold Prescriptions" and "Thousand Gold Wing Prescriptions" ", countless doctors are looking forward to seeing these two medical books."

Another school captain worried, "But Sun Yaowang is over 80 years old, and no one has seen him again for several years. Do you think he has died of old age?"

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up." Li Junxian was furious.

So everyone shut up and hurried on.

Sun Simiao heard that the valley where he lives in seclusion is too far away. Compared with the places where famous hermits stay, it is simply a primitive secret place, and he can only walk along the path of birds and beasts along the way.

After climbing one mountain after another, and crossing one valley after another, it seemed that it was going to be dark. Just when everyone thought that they had made a mistake on this trip, they finally saw a medicine garden appearing in the valley ahead. Various medicinal herbs are planted.

"Looks like it's here."

Li Jun envied his spirits.

Behind the medicine garden of about several mu of land, there are several thatched houses, starting from a bamboo fence garden.

It's like a paradise. This is the real hermit. Compared with those so-called hermits and celebrities on Zhongnan Mountain, they just put on a show, built a mountain villa, and brought their servants and bookboys. How can they live in seclusion? look.

They just regard the seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain as a shortcut to gain some fame, so that they can quickly enter the emperor's sight and enter the court as soon as possible. For example, the current Zhongshusheren Feng Deyi and others in the court did this when they were young .

A group of people walked forward.

Before approaching the thatched cottage, a few people came out.

The first one looks like a middle-aged scribe, dressed in a kudzu cloth robe.

He cupped his hands, "I don't know why you came here suddenly, this is my master's secluded place, please forgive me for inconvenient disturbance."

A school lieutenant asked impatiently, "Is your master Sun Simiao?"

The middle-aged man frowned and called his name by name, which is very impolite, let alone calling someone by the name of an elder face to face.

"Everyone, visitors are not accepted here, please go back."

Li Junxian stepped forward.

"This gentleman, please be polite. I am Li Junxian, the Duke of Wulian County, the captain of the imperial guards and the military mansion. I have encountered a difficult medical disease that cannot be diagnosed and treated by famous imperial doctors all over the world. I heard that Sun The king of medicine is famous, so I came here to invite you. I just came in a hurry. I didn't bring any gifts. Please forgive me. There is only a small gift here, so I will use it as a meeting gift. If Sun Yaowang helps to cure the disease, there will be more Ten times the gift as a thank you."

With a wave of his hand, several captains each took out a few gold collars.

Each pork loin-like gold collar weighs 50 taels, a total of 20 yuan.

1000 taels of gold.

The middle-aged scribe couldn't help being shocked.

A meeting gift of 1000 taels of gold is too extravagant.

The young men behind him were even more stunned.

"This?"

Li Junxian took out his Jade Tiger Seal.

The middle-aged man saw it, and returned it nervously. At first, he thought it was some powerful family member in Chang'an who came to ask the teacher to see a doctor.

But who knows, the other party is actually the captain of the guard's army mansion wearing a jade talisman. Even if he lives in seclusion with his master in the mountains, he still knows the name of the guard's mansion.

The captain who can work as a bodyguard and pro-military mansion personally came to invite him. It seems that the person who wants to see a doctor is not an ordinary person, but probably some noble person in the palace.

"Captain, please wait, I will report to the teacher."

After a while, the middle-aged man came out accompanied by a young man.

The boy looked to be about 20 years old, with a rosy complexion, a complexion, a figure and a gait like a young man.

"Captain, this is my teacher Sun Yaowang."

Li Junxian and the school captains of the guards' military residence were all dumbfounded, didn't it mean that Sun Simiao was over 80 years old, why did he look like he was under 20 years old?
