What kind of Journey to the West is this?

It looks like mutton-fat jade and feels very smooth to the touch, but it is neither gold nor jade. I don't know what material it is.

Yanxia was playing with the invitation when she suddenly heard cheers and surprise coming from the street.

"Master Sun is here!"

"Master Sun is here!"

Donghuang suddenly sends a jade talisman: Chapter 178 [Sun Yaowang, comforting everyone]

Yanxia went out to see.

I saw a group of people spontaneously making way, and then I heard a crisp tinkling sound.

In the distance, there was a bearded Taoist priest in his thirties, wearing a navy blue robe, a bell tied around his waist, and a bamboo medicine box on his back.

"Master Sun! Please come in quickly!"

The deputy driver and the chief secretary who came with An Dunyi hurried to greet him.

The two little Taoist boys, Qinglian and Baiou, had just finished crying. They were flattered to hear the name and hurried over to greet him with tears still on their faces.

The neighbors looked at the Taoist in surprise and talked about it.

Even the beggars who came to mourn and eat at the banquet wiped their faces, rubbed their hands and smiled.

Lord Medicine King, Ben Xingsun, rides a dragon or a tiger, and twists a needle in his hand!

The doctor of internal medicine is Sun Simiao, and the doctor of surgery is Hua Tuogao! Sun Simiao and Hua Tuogao, at the age of 32, entered the Tang Dynasty.

————This kind of bangzi music can be sung by beggars in the streets and alleys.

This shows the value of the three words "Sun Simiao" in the Tang Dynasty.

Yan Xia was also stunned when she just came out.

She had previously stayed temporarily at the Yaowang Temple at the foot of Maliu Mountain. She only knew that Master Sun had passed by Cangzhou, but it was a coincidence that she actually ran into him today.

Over there, Military Officer Zheng was earnestly asking Master Sun about his purpose of coming. His fawning manner was even more exaggerated than when he first came to apologize to Yan Xia.

He's a miracle doctor, and no one wants to curry favor with him.

Sun Simiao said, "Your Excellency, there's no need to be so polite. I traveled all the way from the north and passed by Cangzhou. I heard there was an old centenarian there and wanted to come and ask for his advice on how to maintain health, but I'm a step too late."

The Taoist saw An Yanxia blinking her curious eyes in the distance and advised, "If you want to consult a doctor or for other matters, you can come back tomorrow. But it's getting late now, and I have to help preside over the funeral first."

Master Sun was very particular. Although Doctor Xiong was gone, he still observed many etiquettes and said a few words to the old man who presided over the funeral.

The old man naturally smiled with joy and nodded in agreement.

After the funeral, the coffin had to be carried back to the mourning hall for the wake. There was an empty room in the Xiong's pharmacy, but now that Wei Xianyi had moved in, it was very inconvenient.

So An Yanxia waved her hand and indicated that she could send him to Wenshu Temple to keep vigil, which would also be a good opportunity to add a tablet of Xiong Fengxian to the Wenshu Temple.

at night.

Sun Simiao then moved to the mourning hall that was converted from a wing of the Manjusri Temple and recited scriptures for salvation and relief from suffering.

Most of these scriptures are useless. For Taoists who have not been granted the Heavenly Talisman, chanting the scriptures is just chanting scriptures.

But Yan Xia didn't stop him, and even recited along with him.

What they recited were the "Nirvana Mantra", "Purification Mantra of Heaven and Earth" and "The Wonderful Sutra of Taiyi Tianzun on Rescuing Suffering and Removing Sins".

They are all Yanxia’s professional counterparts.

Two Taoists are chanting Taoist scriptures in a Buddhist temple to save the soul of an old doctor who is neither a Buddhist nor an immortal and is a casual cultivator. The scene is somewhat bizarre.

But Yanxia blindly guessed that Manjushri Bodhisattva was broad-minded and would definitely not mind.

At night, the two rested for a while, and Yanxia handed over the wine jug.

Sun Simiao smiled and said, "I don't drink much on weekdays."

An Yanxia held the wine jug and said, "That's a pity. Master, did you come to Cangzhou to find Doctor Xiong?"

"Yes. I heard that Doctor Xiong is a centenarian, so I wanted to ask him for some advice on health preservation. Unfortunately, I came a step too late and missed out on a priceless remedy!"

"You're a little late!"

Yan Xia felt a little sorry, and at the same time secretly guessed: It seems that although Master Sun has the identity of a Taoist priest, he does not seem to have received the Heavenly Talisman.

Talismans are also divided into three categories according to their sources: the innate talismans created by heaven and earth, the heavenly talismans from heaven, and the private talismans issued within the Xuanmen.

Not to mention the innate talismans.

The Heavenly Talisman is actually the talisman corresponding to each position in the Heavenly Court and its subordinate units. The talismans of Miaoyan Palace, Yue Mansion, Exorcism Court... these government offices are all considered Heavenly Talismans, and everyone in the world recognizes them.

Private talismans are relative to heavenly talismans, which are talismans made by some sects and mountain gates themselves.

For example, many sects have procedures like "inviting the ancestor master to possess you." But how would the ancestor master know if you are his descendant? He is busy with all sorts of things. This requires some kind of identity verification, also known as a private talisman.

Even worse, there are those who use private talismans to confer titles on mountain gods and earth deities. This falls into a gray area. If the exorcism temple doesn't investigate, nothing will happen. But if any of the heavenly officials in the exorcism temple needs to meet performance targets at the end of the year, then it's all over.

Yanxia arranged the altar and appointed the Dharma Master, which was also a similar operation to the private talisman.

But she was a little surprised that Master Sun, with such high medical skills, did not have the talismans of Tian Hospital.

...........................

Above the gale layer.

The holy land of heaven, the heavenly hospital.

Xiong Fengxian had just flown into the sky on a dragon and received her ordination. She then went to a corridor to celebrate with many of her colleagues.

The Tianyi Lu is an external Lu and does not have strict assessment standards - that is, there is no need to work hard to achieve results like in the Miaoyan Palace Exorcism Hospital. However, the disadvantage is that there is no possibility of advancement. Therefore, the Tianyi doctors in the Tianyi Hospital are generally straightforward and upright.

For example, if the Plague Department wants to dispel the plague, Tian Hospital will definitely take action to eliminate the plague.

As for the impeachment by the Ministry of Plague?

Who is afraid of whom!

You have a plague that comes and goes, but I have a job that lasts forever.

Although he had been to Tianjin Hospital several times, this time he was actually employed there. Doctor Xiong still needed to adapt to the personalities of his colleagues.

Arriving at a small pavilion, a celestial doctor named Ye asked curiously, "Qiwu, I heard that when you were in the secular world, you worked with the celestial official An Yanxia An of Miaoyan Palace?"

Qiwu is Xiong Fengxian's courtesy name.

He laughed a lot. He didn't expect that even though he was harassed by An Yanxia every day on earth, he still couldn't do without her in heaven!

"We are old friends. Not really, we are familiar with each other after all." Xiong Fengxian said slightly.

"Oh? Then Qiwu, do you know if this great man left any works?"

"Everyone?"

"Well, you don't know yet? An Tianguan has recently been praised by the anti-poison school. Although I don't agree with their methods, their theories are still worth considering. I heard that An Tianguan is ingenious and has taken a different approach. He has come up with a set of ideas to use plague toxins to treat diseases before they occur."

"It's called something like...Vaccine?"

Doctor Ye Tian sighed again and said, "Unfortunately, although this idea is good, the plague seeds are all in the hands of the Plague Department. Zhang Fuzi of the anti-poison faction has always wanted to borrow some from the Plague Department, but how can the Plague Department lend them?"

Xiong Fengxian was stunned when she heard this.

He remembered that An Yanxia had some medical skills, and probably knew two and a half more volumes of Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases than Qinglian and Baiou combined. She was a doctor who could treat people, with solid theoretical knowledge and some innovative methods of treatment.

If you really want to say how amazing she is... well, there really isn't any. Anybody picked up from a Chang'an City pharmacy is no worse than An Yanxia.

But how did he suddenly become a “medical expert”?

Doctor Ye Tian continued, "I heard that An Tianguan has a close relationship with the Plague Department's Envoy Jiang Banxia. If An Tianguan ever ascends to heaven, Qiwu, you must go with us to meet him. Ask her to help get some plague seeds from the Plague Department."

Colleagues around him also agreed.

Xiong Fengxian was confused for a moment.

Is it him who ascended to heaven, or is it An Yanxia who ascended to heaven?

Donghuang Suddenly Receives Jade Talisman: Chapter 179 [Late-Night Talk]

The layout of the Heavenly Palace is centered on the Lingxiao Palace where the Jade Emperor resides, and is divided into four parts: east, west, south, and north.

Among them, the Southern Dipper is responsible for life, and the Northern Dipper is responsible for death.

The Tian Hospital is in Nandou. Enter from the South Tianmen and turn west.

Going north from Tianyi Hospital, you will come out of Nandou, the South Pole Everlasting Realm, and then pass through the Nine Heavens Gate, which is the Purple Gold Palace of Miaoyou Xuanzhen Realm, commonly known as "Taiwei Yuqing Palace and Jade Emperor's Grand Hall".

Continue northward and cross the Tianhe River, and you will reach the Beidou Purple Palace.

Beidou is destined to cause death, and all the plague departments are here.

At this moment, in the Northern Division of the Plague Department, auspicious clouds and light are everywhere, auspicious mist and fragrance are floating in the air, five-colored green chickens are crowing in the red sun, and a thousand-year-old red phoenixes are inhaling purple smoke.

Clouds descended from above, and a man in a black robe with a sword at his waist appeared. It was Zhong Rengui, the general of the Northern Winter Plague Department.

Soon, Zhong Rengui walked on the blue cloud until he arrived at a treasure palace and walked inside.

All he saw was a seventh-rank celestial official in red robes hurrying in from the long corridor on the right side, followed by a plague-conquering wizard and a smallpox-vaccinating boy. They all held tablets in their hands, but their faces were all laughing and talking, not serious at all.

"Meet General Zhong!"

"No need to be polite. The New Year holiday is coming soon. You can go about your business and don't worry about me. Just call Banxia over. I have something to ask her."

Zhong Rengui nodded and looked at a graceful figure among the group of plague messengers.

The leading envoy smiled and said, "Xue Fan has really become famous recently. Not only did she cause a stir at the Tian Hospital some time ago, but now even the general has come to look for her."

Xuefan is the courtesy name of Jiang Banxia.

Not long after, Jiang Banxia came out in a daze, wearing a scarlet robe, with this year's salary on his mind.

No matter whether it is General Zhong or General Shi, it’s the end of the year and the money has to be distributed!

Even the pitiful salary from the Plague Department was not enough for her to practice...

She is not even as free as that little dwarf from Cangzhou!

Zhong Rengui smiled and said, "Recently, Zhang Fuzi from the Tian Hospital has been coming to my house several times to seek advice. He wants to ask you about the vaccine method and also wants my plague department to give him some plague strains from the Tian Hospital for research. Banxia, what do you think?"

Jiang Banxia hasn't reacted yet.

What does she think?

Just stand and watch...

The girl shrank her neck and whispered, "I don't think I can give it to you."

"I also think it can't be given. What's the use of giving a vaccine to a hospital? My Plague Department has so many plague messengers and plague mages. I don't know how much more advanced their methods are in dealing with plague than those of a hospital.

"I think this vaccine method should belong to my plague department."

"what?"

Jiang Banxia was stunned and didn't react. "General, aren't we the ones who are carrying the plague? What's the use of this thing?"

Zhong Rengui laughed and said, "Who says the Plague Department can only cure plague? My Plague Department can also cure plague!"

"Spreading plague is the will of heaven, curing it is the will of humanity. Both are meritorious deeds. Marshal Zhao Gongming and I have discussed the idea of building a new government office in the Northern Division, to be called the Plague Avoidance Hall."

Jiang Banxia asked doubtfully, "That's what you say, but we have no experience treating plague. Our plague department has always been responsible for killing, not burying."

Zhong Rengui said, "That's right, so we need to hire some experts to treat the plague."

Jiang Banxia wondered, "General, then why don't you go to the Tian Hospital? I can't treat plague..."

"Tian Hospital and we have always been at odds. I came to you! I want to ask you for a talent!"

"Which talent?"

"An Yanxia."

"???"

Jiang Banxia had question marks in his mind.

Well, she admitted that the dwarf could cure plague and even performed an incomplete five-blade plague spell.

But she and An Yanxia are not familiar with each other...

She was about to refuse when she saw General Zhong patting her shoulder with an expression that said, "God has given me a great responsibility." He said solemnly and firmly:
