save the bachelors

Chapter 4921 [Baoan Hall]

The fact that Xiang Nan had married soon became known to everyone.

"Xu Xian is really a fool with good fortune. He actually married the daughter of a wealthy family."

"I heard that the girl's family is very rich, and the courtyard alone is a hundred steps wide."

"It turns out that this moral gentleman also needs to marry~"

People may envy, ridicule, or be jealous, and so on.

Xiang Nan didn't care about these rumors at all. He still taught in the library during the day and returned to Bai Mansion at night to spend every night with his wife.

Although Bai Suzhen is a demon, her demonic aura has not completely disappeared. If a mortal stays with her for a long time, his yang energy will be depleted and his life may be in danger.

But to Xiang Nan, it was nothing.

Because he is already a Golden Immortal, transcending the mundane world and with an immortal golden body, even if the heaven and earth collapsed, there is still a chance of survival for him, let alone a mere matter in bed.

……

Time flies and now it is June, the plum rain season. Heavy rains are pouring down in Hangzhou, causing flooding.

Some of the people's fields were flooded, some of their houses were washed away, and the water even spread into the city, causing widespread misery.

Seeing this, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing went to a high place in the city and cast a spell to stop the rain.

"It's raining heavily now, let's quickly cast a spell to control the water." Bai Suzhen said, and then cast a spell to disperse the dark clouds, stop the rain, and prevent the flood from entering the city.

While her two sisters were busy, a young monk also came to a high place in the city and performed a ritual to control the water.

"Natural disasters are inevitable for mortals, but I, the Buddha, am merciful. Let me help you escape from the misfortune." The monk looked at the sentient beings in the ocean, wailing miserably and in great pain, so he said, "The spring of nectar washes away the evil, and the willow branches sprinkle gently to disperse the sorrow. I will chant the mantra now, cleanse everything, and separate!"

As he used his magic power, the torrential flood was immediately blocked and no longer flowed into the city.

"Sister, his magic power is so high. How long will it take me to practice to reach his level?" Xiaoqing said in surprise when she saw this.

"Impossible." Bai Suzhen denied it flatly, "He has already reached the state of unity between Buddha and self, which is not something we can comprehend."

The two of them haven't even learned how to be a human being, let alone be a Buddha.

"Since we are so destined to be together, can you let me get along with him and see if it works?" Xiao Qing said again, looking at Fahai, her heart pounding.

"No, he is different from Xu Xian. He doesn't have human emotions." Bai Suzhen stopped him immediately.

Only humans have seven emotions and six desires; gods, ghosts, demons, and Buddhas do not.

Although Fahai is still a human being and has not yet attained enlightenment, he has already reached the state of "the unity of Buddha and self". Such a person no longer has any emotions.

Therefore, you cannot learn how to be a good person from him, but instead you are more likely to get into trouble.

"The living and the good, it is not in vain that I set you free! Amitabha, well done, well done!" Seeing the two green and white snakes performing magic to control the water and save the people, Fahai also chanted a Buddhist name.

When Bai Suzhen heard this, she was touched and nodded.

……

The next day, Bai Suzhen proposed to Xiang Nan that they should open a clinic to cure diseases and save lives.

"Madam, you want to open a clinic? Do you know any medical skills? Have you read the Lingshu, Suwen, Bencao, and Maijing?" Xiang Nan asked. "Human life is at stake. It would be bad if you kill someone."

"Don't worry, my husband. Our Bai family is a family of doctors. I have been learning medicine with my father since I was a child." Bai Suzhen said confidently, "Although I can't say that I can bring people back to life, I can still say that I can cure diseases with my medicine."

"Since my lady is confident, then let's do it this way." Xiang Nan nodded.

Of course he knew that Bai Suzhen's medical skills were not bad. After all, she had practiced Taoism for a thousand years and had a deep understanding of it. Even if medicine was ineffective, she could still cast spells to save people. And this was also a matter of accumulating merits. Given time, when their merits were complete, they would be able to ascend to become immortals.

Xiang Nan and Bai Suzhen then found a shop in Hangzhou and opened a medicine shop named "Bao'an Hall". Bai Suzhen was in charge of diagnosing patients, while Xiaoqing was in charge of picking and decocting medicine.

Because of the strict separation between men and women, there was a hazy gauze curtain between Bai Suzhen and the patient. The patient only needed to put his hand deep into the curtain.

At the beginning, the pharmacy didn't have much business.

After all, the pharmacy was newly opened, and the doctor was a young female doctor. Who could trust her?

But as the saying goes, there is no oil and salt shop that is not open.

Finally, a patient who was seriously ill and had no cure came to Bao'an Hall for treatment with the attitude of trying everything possible.

It turned out that he had carbuncle on his back, which was a boil on his back.

In modern times, this disease is very easy to treat. You just need to apply some antibiotics, or cut open the abscess to drain it, and then inject antibiotics to cure it. The most serious case is just surgery to remove the necrotic tissue.

Generally speaking, as long as complications such as sepsis, toxic shock, etc. are not caused, there is basically no possibility of death.

However, ancient medicine was not well developed and there was a lack of antibiotics, so once festering and high fever occurred, the person was basically dead.

People like Fan Zeng, who assisted Xiang Yu, Meng Haoran, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, and Xu Da, a founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, all died of back carbuncle.

The patient's back carbuncle had already festered and had a high fever, and his life was in imminent danger.

But Bai Suzhen's medical skills were truly amazing, and she actually saved the patient's life.

Baoan Hall became an instant success and its reputation soared. Bai Suzhen was also affectionately called "White-robed Guanyin" by patients, who said that she was not only beautiful and kind, but also had superb medical skills and could bring people back to health.

Even Xiang Nan became famous.

"Xu Xian is really capable, marrying such a capable wife."

"The White-robed Guanyin is beautiful and kind-hearted, and has superb medical skills. Xu Xian is really lucky to have her."

"Xu Xian is such a lucky fool. His ancestors must have done great deeds to marry such a living Guanyin."

……

Through spring and summer, from autumn to winter.

Soon, a year had passed since Xiang Nan and Bai Suzhen met.

But their feelings not only did not fade, but became even more loving.

During the day, they worked in the bookstore and the pharmacy respectively, and returned home to spend time together at night.

The husband sings and the wife follows, they love each other deeply, are inseparable, and their love is infinite.

It just makes Xiaoqing suffer.

She was a single woman, and she felt uncomfortable watching Xiang Nan and Bai Suzhen being affectionate and affectionate every day while she was alone.

The key point is that she increasingly found that in her sister Bai Suzhen's heart, her status was increasingly inferior to Xiang Nan.

"What's so good about him? Why should I learn how to be a human being? Why should I learn about the seven emotions and six desires..." She simply couldn't understand.

It was near the Dragon Boat Festival and the weather was hot, so Xiang Nan lay on a rattan bench to take a nap.

At this moment, a faint fragrance came, and then a head came over with a grape in its mouth, wanting to put it into Xiang Nan's mouth.

"Xiaoqing~" Xiang Nan suddenly opened his eyes, and Xiaoqing, who was about to feed Xiang Nan grapes, was startled.
