Chapter 223 The Miracle Doctor Returns
Tripitaka Temple.

There is a monkey forest in the back mountain.

In the past month or so, monks from the entire temple have been holding rituals to commemorate the passing of Master Tripitaka.

Huang Sixi is a lay disciple recruited by Master Sanzang, and also a closed disciple. Although he does not need to perform rituals and chant sutras in front of Master Sanzang's golden statue every day, he cannot leave and must stay in the temple on standby at all times.

After all, Master Tripitaka is a great sage of Buddhism, and countless people come to pay homage to his golden body every day, so Huang Sixi has to participate in the reception.

He stayed in the temple temporarily.

However, he did not choose to live in the Zen room, but built a simple house in the monkey forest in the back mountain and lived next to the white ape.

With the placement of the golden body of Master Tripitaka in the coffin, the funeral was completely over. Huang Sixi still did not leave the temple and stayed with the white ape day and night.

He personally built a sword furnace in the ape forest and asked the white ape to help forge the sword.

On this day, he was instructing the white ape to forge a sword embryo when Master Kuiji came to visit.

Before Master Tripitaka passed away, Huang Sixi promised to open a pharmacy in Shendu to diagnose and treat illnesses for people all over the world. Master Kuiji took the initiative to take charge of the preparations for the pharmacy on behalf of Huang Sixi.

The pharmacy is now taking shape.

Master Kuiji came for this matter.

Due to the huge size of the white ape, the sword furnace built by Huang Sixi was completely exposed to the open air.

After Master Kuiji entered the Monkey Forest, he went straight to the sword furnace.

Huang Sixi burned the heavy black iron sword until it was red hot, then took it out of the furnace with tongs and placed it on a special iron table.

Huang Sixi made another gesture to the white ape, and the white ape immediately picked up a huge hammer and began to hammer the heavy black iron sword.

This heavy sword was as thick as a finger, but the white ape only struck it three times and the blade of the heavy sword turned into a thin piece of iron.

Every time it struck, a dull 'boom! boom!' sound could be heard from miles away, and the ground within a hundred feet was shaken again and again.

Huang Sixi couldn't stop smiling when he saw this. He had forged the Dragon Subduing Sword entirely by himself before, and he knew how difficult it was to forge black iron.

He assessed for himself that the white ape's hammer could more than withstand his ten blows. Even if it could withstand his twenty or thirty blows, that would be more than enough.

The white ape's enormous strength has long exceeded the limits of the human body. Forging iron is just like kneading mud. As long as the white ape does not mind the hard work and patiently forges iron for Huang Sixi, Huang Sixi's new sword will be completed in three months at most.

The sound of the white ape forging iron was too loud, so Master Kuiji shouted, "Brother Huang, stop, stop for a moment!"

Huang Sixi did not agree. He first asked the white ape to smash the heavy black iron sword into a sword blank, and then quenched it with fire. After the heavy black iron sword cooled down, he signaled the white ape to stop and rest.

Master Kuiji was not impatient at all, but instead exclaimed in admiration: "Master, this white ape has a very violent temperament. In the past, even if we asked it to travel back and forth to the capital of the gods, let alone forging iron, it would be extremely reluctant! Junior Brother Huang has only known it for more than a month, how did you tame it and make it so obedient?"

it's actually really easy.

After working iron every day, Huang Sixi would transfer Rama Qi to the white ape.

The White Ape is a spiritual beast of heaven and earth, and is more human-like than the Divine Eagle. It knows very well the benefits of Rama's true qi, which can allow it to regenerate, avoid aging, and maintain its youthful body.

Even though it had known Huang Sixi for a short time, it had already regarded Huang Sixi as a close friend, so blacksmithing was naturally no problem for it.

Huang Sixi asked, "Were there no fellow disciples in the temple who could order Brother Yuan around?"

"Only Senior Brother Yuance can use it!" Master Kuiji smiled playfully:
"It was usually only ridden by Senior Brother Yuance. Originally, after Master passed away, the white ape was to be given to Senior Brother Yuance to command, including Master's imperial edict, which was also to be passed to Senior Brother Yuance. But Junior Brother Huang was already valued and favored by Master after just one meeting with Master. This really surprised our fellow disciples in the temple!"

"Master, it's not that he values me. He just gave me the imperial edict to make it easier for me to practice medicine." Huang Sixi said:
"Brother Yuance should understand Master's painstaking efforts!"

The current abbot of Sanzang Temple is Master Yuance. He was originally going to inherit all of Master Sanzang's teachings, but was snatched away by Huang Sixi.

No matter who it is, there will inevitably be resentment.

But no matter how Master Yuance viewed Huang Sixi, Huang Sixi would never hand over the white ape and the imperial edict.

Master Yuance was a Silla native. He did not attach importance to the imperial title and nobility bestowed by the Tang Dynasty. The only thing he cared about was his reputation in Buddhism.

Master Kuiji was different. He was a descendant of the nobles of the Tang Dynasty. The reason why he became a monk and became a disciple of Master Tripitaka was, on the one hand, because he was obsessed with Buddhism, and on the other hand, the royal family of the Tang Dynasty was keen on worshipping Buddhism. By practicing with Master Tripitaka, he could better serve the royal family of the Tang Dynasty and at the same time bring benefits to his family.

Including this time of helping Huang Sixi to open a medicine hall, Master Kuiji still felt that the medicine hall could help his family.

After chatting for a while, Master Kuiji got to the point: "Brother Huang, the pharmacy has been set up for you. I have specially invited a medical officer from the Divine Capital City to store a batch of commonly used medicinal materials in the pharmacy. You can move over now and open the pharmacy immediately!"

Huang Sixi asked: "Are we heading to the capital now?"

Master Kuiji smiled and said, "That medicine hall was originally my family's property. I persuaded the elders of my family to donate the medicine hall to Sanzang Temple and transfer it to Junior Brother Huang. Currently, the official who manages the land sales in the city is waiting in the hall. Junior Brother Huang, you must go there in person and find that official to get the land deed back! As for when the medicine hall will officially open, it is naturally up to you, Junior Brother!"

Huang Sixi couldn't help but look at Master Kuiji differently: "Let the officials wait for us? Excuse me, brother, does your family have any relatives serving in the court?"

Master Kuiji said: "Before I became a monk, my surname was Yuchi. My family has been rich and powerful for a long time. As early as the Former Wei Dynasty, my family already had high-ranking officials in the court!"

Huang Sixi immediately thought of a famous Tang Dynasty figure: "During the reign of Emperor Taizong, Lord Yuchi Gong, a great contributor in the Lingyan Pavilion..."

Master Kuiji felt quite proud: "Yuchi Gong is my uncle!"

Huang Sixi suddenly understood when he heard it, no wonder!

Yuchi Gong was the Duke of the Tang Dynasty, and Master Kuiji was a descendant of the nobility. It was not surprising that he had such a strong supporter in his family and could order minor officials in the capital around.

Huang Sixi said, "Since there are officials waiting in the pharmacy to process the land deed, we can't keep you waiting for too long. Brother Kuiji, let's go to the capital now!"

He pointed at the white ape again and said, "Can you bring Brother Ape into the city with you?"

Master Kuiji shook his head cautiously: "Don't do that! The white ape is too big. If it enters the Divine Capital City, it will definitely cause panic and block traffic on the streets. If it accidentally hurts the people, it will damage the benevolent reputation of our Sanzang Temple!"

After hearing this, Huang Sixi turned around and communicated with the white ape, asking it to stay in the ape forest temporarily.

When the white ape saw that he was about to leave, it seemed very reluctant. It kept making sign language to Huang Sixi and squeaking and howling.

Master Kuiji couldn't figure out the white ape's intention.

After Huang Sixi finished communicating with the white ape, Master Kuiji asked hurriedly, "Brother Huang, what is it talking about?"

Huang Sixi discussed, "It doesn't want to be separated from me for a long time, so it plans to carry us to the capital. It won't go into the city, but wait for us outside. What do you think?"

Master Kuiji did not object: "As long as it does not enter the city, anything is fine!"

He laughed again: "I have never ridden on it before, but today, thanks to my junior brother, I can finally use it as a mount!"

When the two men had said this, they closed the sword furnace, climbed onto the white ape's shoulders, one on the left and one on the right, and rushed towards the Divine Capital City.

The white ape's foot speed is much faster than that of a colt. Although it cannot fly like the Divine Eagle, it has a special talent for jumping. With a light leap in the air, it can fly dozens of feet forward.

It only needs to jump a few times to run a mile away.

It was twenty miles from the Mangshan Sanzang Temple to the Shendu City, but it arrived in just one stick of incense. If it hadn't been carrying Huang Sixi and Master Kuiji, it would have been even faster.

Huang Sixi and Master Kuiji got off the monkey shoulders at the north gate of Shendu.

Huang Sixi pointed to a forest outside the city and said, "Brother Yuan, go to that forest and rest first. I will come back to meet you after I finish my work at the pharmacy."

The white ape immediately nodded towards him to show its agreement, then leaped away.

Afterwards, Huang Sixi, accompanied by Master Kuiji, entered the Shendu City together.

The current capital city of Shendu is divided into two parts, north and south, by the Luo River.

The imperial city was built to the north of Luo River.

The Swallow Tower, where Huang Sixi arrived more than a month ago, is located south of the Luo River.

The medicine hall that Master Kuiji gave to Huang Sixi happened to be located south of the Luo River.

After entering the city from Anxi Gate, the two men walked across the Luo River on Xinzhong Bridge. After walking two miles south, they passed through the most famous Nanshi in the capital.

Huang Sixi looked around and was amazed. He saw that the market was densely populated, foreign merchants were everywhere, inns were everywhere, and all kinds of goods were piled up like mountains, which fully reflected the prosperous scene of the capital in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.

Master Kuiji saw that he looked strange, and smiled and introduced: "As early as the Sui Dynasty, this place was already a famous market. Today, there are 120 shops and more than 3,000 stalls. Goods are shipped to all parts of the Central Plains. Even the Western Regions and overseas barbarians come to this market all year round to sell our Tang Dynasty's high-quality and low-priced goods!"

He raised his arm and pointed forward: "Junior Brother Huang, your pharmacy is across the street from the South City, in Xiushanfang. It's not far from here. We can get there in a little while!"

The entire city of Shendu was divided into lifang (lifang), with a total of more than a hundred lifang in the city. These lifang included residential houses, religious temples, and the Tang court government offices.

At first, Huang Sixi thought that the medicine hall did not occupy a large area. After all, Shendu was the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and the powerful people in the world gathered in the city. Those lands and properties in good locations were often symbols of status and could not be bought even if you had money.

When Huang Sixi followed Master Kuiji to the medicine hall, he was surprised.

I saw a luxurious loft located on the side of the street. The door to the first floor was already open, and through the door I could see the empty lobby.

Huang Sixi secretly estimated that the lobby was at least a hundred feet square, and the area of the second floor was naturally similar. This attic alone was already extremely luxurious.

But Master Kuiji introduced him again: "Brother Huang, this courtyard has two entrances and two exits. The front courtyard is the medicine hall, the back courtyard is for living, and the courtyard is a garden. It was originally the residence of an elder in my family. When he learned that you wanted to open a medicine hall to save the dying and heal the wounded, he generously donated it to you!"

At this moment, Huang Sixi was still standing on the street, and was about to accompany Master Kuiji into the hall, but he saw several officials in official uniforms and carrying weapons walking out of the hall.

Leading these officials was a burly man, whose physique and age were similar to Master Kuiji.

When Master Kuiji saw them leave, he pointed to the burly man and introduced him to Huang Sixi: "Brother Huang, this is Lord Yuchi Zhenjin, the Minister of the Dali Temple. He is responsible for arresting criminals and solving cases in the Divine Capital. If anyone dares to cause trouble in the medicine hall in the future, just send a note to the Dali Temple and he will send someone to deal with it!"

The Dali Temple Minister was a third-rank official who held real power in the capital. He would never visit an ordinary pharmacy on a daily basis, but Yuchi Zhenjin was of similar age to Master Kuiji and was his nephew. Out of family affection, he made the trip.

Yuchi Zhenjin arrived at the door, looked Huang Sixi up and down, and said, "Are you the last disciple of Master Sanzang? Come in quickly, get the land deed quickly, and open the medicine hall!"

The official in charge of the land deed transfer was staying in the lobby at this moment. He was just a minor official who had been summoned by Yuchi Zhenjin earlier.

The minor official saw the main person coming and came over with a smile, inviting Huang Sixi in, "Doctor Huang, please come in. The deed is ready, and we just need your signature!"

Huang Sixi saw this and suddenly a proverb came to his mind: "It's easier to get things done if you have someone in the court!"

He bowed to Yuchi Zhenjin and was about to go to the lobby to sign the land deed.

At this time, there was a commotion on the street. A middle-aged man was seen carrying an old woman on his back. The old woman seemed to be seriously ill and had already fainted. The middle-aged man ran and shouted: "My mother has an emergency illness and needs to be sent for treatment. Please make way, make way..."

Unfortunately, a team of fully armored cavalry suddenly came running down the street, startling the people on the street and causing the crowd to scream.

The middle-aged man was frightened by the cavalry formation and had to stop on the side of the street. If he continued to run, he might be hit by the cavalry, and the consequences would be disastrous.

Master Kuiji saw that the cavalry was very fierce, so he asked Yuchi Zhenjin: "I don't see any Tang army in the city. Is there going to be a war?"

Yuchi Zhenjin said: "Recently, the Fuyu Kingdom invaded the border. Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are furious and are mobilizing troops and warships to prepare to suppress the enemy!"

The Buyeo Kingdom was located on an island in the East China Sea, which was difficult to reach by land and required warships to arrive.

When Master Kuiji heard that they were Tang army soldiers going on an overseas expedition, he said no more.

As the cavalry flew past the street, they suddenly saw the middle-aged man squatting down, hugging the old woman and crying loudly.

After this delay, the old woman had already stopped breathing and seemed to have died on the street. People nearby came over to watch and all of them showed sympathy.

Huang Sixi saw more and more people gathering and immediately walked over.

Upon seeing this, Master Kuiji and Yuchi Zhenjin also followed.

When they reached the middle-aged man and the old woman, Yuchi Zhenjin waved to his subordinates, who immediately stepped forward, dispersed the crowd, cleared a path, and then checked the old woman's condition. They returned and said, "Sir, the old woman has died. We can only hold a funeral!"

After he finished speaking, Huang Sixi suddenly walked over, picked up the old woman's wrist and started taking her pulse.

When his subordinates saw Huang Sixi feeling the pulse of the dead man, they teased him, "Doctor Huang, the man is already dead. No matter how skilled you are, you can't bring him back. Why bother?"

Huang Sixi did not respond, but continued to take the old woman's pulse and took out acupuncture needles for treatment.

After a while, she heard two "cough coughs" and miraculously the old woman started coughing.

"what!"

The crowd immediately exploded: "This old lady is not dead, she is alive again!"

The crowd all looked at Huang Sixi again: "This miracle doctor saved the old lady!"

Huang Sixi said to the middle-aged man, "The old lady's meridians are blocked, so she fell into a coma, but she is not yet dead. You can send her to the pharmacy and I will slowly treat her!"

When the middle-aged man saw the old woman wake up again and come back to life, he burst into tears.

'Bang bang bang! '

He kowtowed to Huang Sixi several times before asking, "Excuse me, divine doctor, where is your pharmacy?"

Without waiting for Huang Sixi to answer.

Master Kuiji pointed back and said, "That's right! My junior brother is the direct disciple of Master Sanzang. He has inherited the true teachings of Master Sanzang. As long as you enter his medicine hall, no matter how seriously ill the patient is, he will not die!"

The crowd looked in the direction of his finger, and with a cry of "whoosh!", they crowded around Huang Sixi.

"So he is the disciple of Master Sanzang, no wonder he is so skilled in medicine!"

"Let's go! Let's go and see how Master Sanzang's disciple can bring the dead back to life!"

In this way, Huang Sixi, surrounded by the people of the capital, returned to the pharmacy with great fanfare.
