Under One Person: The Taoist Priest Descends the Mountain

Hospital office.

Liao Zhonggang was released from solitary confinement and sat in a chair rubbing his temples.

Old Meng pushed the door open and handed him a document: "The plan decided upon above."

Liao Zhong took it and flipped through it, his expression complicated.

The eight children were assigned to directly affiliated kindergartens in various districts, providing a seamless transition from kindergarten to middle school. Many of these children were orphans whose parents had sacrificed their lives, so these children wouldn't stand out.

Liao Zhong looked down and saw that the reason for agreeing to the plan was that these eight children, selected by the Medicine Immortal Society, all had the potential for supernatural abilities. They would be trained directly under the Na Du Tong system and could directly enter Na Du Tong to work after graduation, which was a win-win situation.

He flipped to the end of the document and saw a handwritten note.

It is Bi Youlong's courtesy name.

After reading it, Liao Zhong sighed, "Alright, this is fine too."

Old Meng pushed up his glasses: "There's something else."

"What?"

"Chairman Bi has some ideas about the four children in quarantine."

Liao Zhong knew Lao Bi wouldn't give up: "What are you thinking? Those four children have already been accepted as disciples by Liangyi Temple. Chairman Bi, do you want to snatch them away from Liangyi Temple?"

Old Meng lowered his voice: "Chairman Bi did have this idea, but it was rejected by Chairman Zhao."

Liao Zhong breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

He had also inquired about it during this time. Master Cheng of Liangyi Temple had made great contributions in the War of Resistance Against Japan and the Crossing the Yangtze River Campaign. There were many old brothers among the older generation. He, a small regional leader, did not want to be bullied by both sides.

Old Meng said, "However, Chairman Bi proposed another plan. Since Duoduo was taken up the mountain, the others will definitely have to return to their families. Our educational resources are excellent, and the parents of those children are from ordinary families. There's no reason to refuse their enrollment."

Old Meng pushed up his glasses and looked at Liao Zhong: "So this matter is entrusted to you. Persuade the parents of those children."

Liao Zhong: "..."

He wanted to curse.

Is there any hope for these people? The child isn't even cured yet, and they're already thinking about all this nonsense!

He scratched his head and slammed the documents on the table.

Never mind, let's treat the child first.

We'll talk about the rest after he's fully recovered.

……

The large playground.

Eight children stood in a row, facing five cars going in different directions.

The eight children will be assigned to different districts to attend the kindergarten that is accessible to all.

Liao Zhong stood to the side, watching them.

The children held their phones, repeatedly checking their respective numbers.

"Call me when you arrive."

"The same to you."

"I call every day."

"Yes, I do it every day."

After all the children had confirmed, he said, "Alright, let's get in the car."

Eight children got into the car, and the doors closed.

The car started and slowly drove out of the playground.

……

Guoguo and a few others stood in a row by the playground.

They watched the car disappear into the distance at the end of the road.

No one spoke.

After a long while, Yueyue suddenly spoke up: "They're all gone."

Duoduo nodded: "Mm."

Xiao Guang said, "We'll leave too."

Guoguo said, "I can leave once I'm fully healed."

Yueyue said, "Then I'll be able to play with them."

Duoduo said, "Mmm."

Cheng Mo walked over and stood behind them.

"Everyone is making rapid progress," he said. "Before long, they will be able to leave here and return to normal life, just like their companions."

He waved his phone: "You guys can still call your other friends."

Yueyue looked up at him: "Can I still be with my senior brother in the future?"

Cheng Mo smiled, squatted down, and patted her head: "You can come visit your senior brother often in the future."

The four children's eyes lit up.

Cheng Mo continued, "However, first of all, you must study hard. If your senior brother finds out you haven't been studying hard, you'll get a spanking."

The four children immediately covered their bottoms.

"No way!"

Xia He was laughing heartily beside her.

……

The large playground area was now empty.

The four children were playing here on the slide, seesaw, swing, and ball pit. Although there were only four of them and the space seemed empty, everyone seemed quite happy.

Watching the videos sent back by other friends every day has become a regular activity.

DouDou made friends at her new kindergarten.

Little Swallow learned to jump rope.

Stone can recite several poems now...

The four children looked at the screen, their eyes crinkling with laughter.

……

Aside from watching videos, Duoduo and the others focused on cultivation and learning.

Rapid progress.

Less than a week later, Lao Meng approached Cheng Mo: "We can try to completely remove the Gu poison now."

Cheng Mo was taken aback: "So fast?"

Old Meng nodded: "It's much faster than expected. The poison has been suppressed to a very shallow surface. I'm confident I can remove it completely in one go."

Cheng Mo thought for a moment and said, "Then let's treat it over on the playground."

Old Meng nodded.

……

The next day, on the playground.

Guoguo stood in the middle, and Lao Meng squatted behind him, his hand on Guoguo's back.

Yueyue, Xiaoguang, and Duoduo stood at a distance of more than ten meters, watching nervously.

Xia He was also nervous, clutching Cheng Mo's sleeve and whispering, "Little Taoist priest, will something happen to us?"

Cheng Mo didn't say anything.

Old Meng began to circulate his Qi.

Guoguo's body stiffened abruptly, her little face scrunched up, and she gritted her teeth, remaining silent.

Yueyue clenched her fists tightly.

Xiao Guang's eyes reddened.

Duoduo buried her head in Xiahe's arms.

Xia He wanted to rush forward, but Cheng Mo held her back.

She turned to look at Cheng Mo, who shook his head.

Xia He took a deep breath and stood still.

She suddenly understood her parents' dilemma in agreeing to let her venture out into the world.

I worry that my daughter won't have a good time away from home, and I also worry that she'll be unhappy staying at home.

Her parents finally agreed to let her come out, and now...

She also needs to trust the children and trust Lao Meng.

Old Meng would not let the child be in danger.

Looking at Guoguo's pained expression, Cheng Mo felt somewhat uncertain.

When Lao Meng mentioned it, he felt that it was a bit too hasty. Since it was effective, it would be best to practice until there was no more progress.

But Lao Meng is an expert after all, and he has his own considerations.

Now all we can do is hope that Lao Meng will put in more effort.

Half an hour later.

Old Meng withdrew his hand and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Guoguo stood there, looking tired, but she seemed much more relaxed.

Old Meng wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled shyly: "I have successfully completed my mission."

Xia He immediately rushed over, grabbed Lao Meng's hand and shook it vigorously: "Brother Meng is awesome! Brother Meng is amazing! Brother Meng, you're the Hua Tuo of our time!"

Cheng Mo walked over and patted Lao Meng on the shoulder: "Lao Meng, your skills are amazing! If I ever get any difficult or complicated illnesses in the future, I'll come to you first!"

Old Meng blushed at the praise and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "No, no, it's just my job..."

The other three children cheered, but remained standing still, too afraid to approach.

Guoguo ran towards them instead, and the three children immediately backed away. Guoguo asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Guang whispered, "We can't get close, we still have Gu poison on us."

Duoduo nodded: "Yes, let's not let all our efforts go to waste."

Yueyue paused for a moment, then looked at Duoduo: "All our efforts were in vain?"

Duoduo was also stunned. After thinking for a moment, she said, "It's an idiom I learned a couple of days ago... I should... have used it correctly, right?"

Yueyue thought for a moment and said, "It seems so."

Guoguo was a little disappointed: "I really want to hug you all."

Xia He patted Guo Guo on the shoulder: "Don't worry, it'll be quick."

At this moment, Lao Meng walked towards Yueyue.

Cheng Mo suddenly spoke up: "Old Meng, wait a minute."

Old Meng turned around.

Cheng Mo said, "Could you try operating the martial arts system while we practice?"

Old Meng was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.

When they practice their skills, pink mist fills the air, making it the best time to suppress the poison.

He nodded: "We can give it a try."

Cheng Mo called to Xia He and the other three children, "Come on, let's practice."

Everyone, stand in your positions, spaced far apart.

Old Meng walked behind Yueyue, placed his hand on her back, and prepared to circulate his Qi.

Cheng Mo began to move.

Xia He followed.

The children followed.

The Eight-Section Brocade exercise unfolds slowly.

Pink mist began to spread, growing thicker and thicker until it enveloped the group of people.

Just as Lao Meng was about to circulate his Qi, his body suddenly stiffened, and his face turned bright red.

"Stop!!!" Old Meng shouted.

Cheng Mo and Xia He immediately stopped.

Xia He inhaled the pink mist.

Cheng Mo looked at Lao Meng's face, which was so red it was almost bleeding, and then at Xia He beside him, and suddenly slapped his forehead.

The fact that the children are unaffected does not mean that Lao Meng, who is involved, is unaffected.

Xia He understood and felt a little embarrassed: "Brother Meng, it's my fault."

Old Meng waved his hand, but dared not look at Xia He: "It's not your fault... it's my own lack of self-control."

Cheng Mo thought for a moment and said, "How about we practice a few times, and then Lao Meng, you can come and treat us?"

Old Meng nodded: "Okay."

Cheng Mo and Xia He led the three children to the side and began practicing their skills.

It was Guoguo's first time watching everyone practice. She squatted a few meters away, resting her chin on her hand, watching with great interest.

Pink mist spread out again.

Standing at the edge of the mist, looking at the pink ball of energy, the slight tremor in Old Meng's heart completely dissipated, and he returned to normal.

He was somewhat surprised.

I never imagined that Miss Xia's special ability could be used in this way.

After one repetition of the Eight Pieces of Brocade and two repetitions of the Vajra Exercise.

Everyone, that's all for now.

Xia He inhaled the pink mist.

Cheng Mo looked at Lao Meng: "Lao Meng, please try again."

Old Meng nodded and walked towards Yueyue.

He placed his hand on her back and slowly circulated his Qi.

Cheng Mo, Xia He, and the children watched nervously.

Even with Guoguo's successful precedent, everyone still cannot relax.

Another half hour passed.

Old Meng withdrew his hand.

Yueyue's body went limp and she fell to the side.

Old Meng quickly helped her up.

"Yueyue!" the children exclaimed.

Xia He rushed forward.

Cheng Mo strode forward.

Old Meng quickly said, "Don't worry! It's just that I was a little late in the month and exhausted. The poison in my body has been cleared away."

Xia He breathed a sigh of relief and took Yueyue into her arms.

Cheng Mo looked at Duo Duo and Xiao Guang: "How about we treat them again tomorrow?"

Old Meng nodded: "That's fine, Guoguo and Yueyue can go back and get checked out."
