Sunlight slants into the room through the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows. There are nurses wearing white sheets and white coats, and doctors wearing white coats and white hats. The smell of alcohol is everywhere, and everything looks no different from the hospitals of later generations.

However, when Zhang Daoling appeared in the ward wearing a Taoist robe, a sense of incompatibility between two eras arose. The two scenes were so abrupt and disharmonious.

Li Xiao had no choice but to sit on the chair. Seeing Zhang Daoling jumping around like a monkey, he probably took care of Li Xiao's mood and didn't use the talisman sprayed with sulfur to make things difficult.

At this time, Zhang Daoling was holding a mahogany sword. The steps under his feet were changing rapidly, one yuan, two rituals, three talents, four elephants, five elements, six unions, seven stars, eight trigrams, and nine palaces! The mahogany sword in his hand was flying around, and some needles couldn't be inserted into the water.

The appearance of not advancing.

An egg on the incense table, for some unknown reason, started spinning inexplicably. And it spun faster and faster, until finally the eye could barely see an afterimage.

The ritual was carried out for a full hour, and the top of Zhang Daoling's head was as hot as a steamer. Sweat flowed down his cheeks like a stream. Anyone who said that Zhang Daoling didn't work hard was definitely speaking out of conscience.

After finishing the exercise, Zhang Daoling sat down on the ground. Li Xiu and Li Hao looked nervous at the same time, and the little Taoist priests on both sides hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhang Daoling.

Zhang Daoling pointed to the egg on the table, his mouth moved twice and he was speechless.

Li Hao hurried over and quickly peeled the egg open.

As he peeled it, Li Hao's eyes widened. He peeled off the egg shell little by little and held the egg in his hand.

Li Xiao was so frightened that he stood up. The egg was brought by Li Xiu himself. Li Xiao had seen it and saw that it was definitely a raw egg. But now... the egg in front of him has turned into a preserved egg.

Songhua eggs...! This made Li Xiao unable to figure out how an egg with a normal skin could turn into a Songhua egg.

He walked a few steps and took a closer look at the preserved egg in Li Hao's hand. The egg white was black. You could vaguely see that the yolk inside seemed to be black as well. Li Xiao was a little puzzled, so he picked it up and took a closer look. He found that the egg was actually

The elasticity is quite good, no different from a freshly peeled hard-boiled egg.

This fucking thing is seriously inconsistent with common sense in physics! But this thing happened right in front of Li Xiao. Even if he killed Li Xiao, he wouldn’t believe it. Zhang Daoling could do magic in front of his eyes. There were more than a dozen people in the room watching.

If they betray the lineage of the Qing Palace on Longhu Mountain, they will be doomed.

"This... break this egg into pieces and feed it to the patient. He will definitely wake up in three days." Zhang Daoling was obviously very tired. He seemed to have exhausted all his strength in one sentence.

Feeding patients such rotten eggs? Isn't it possible to get food poisoning...! This old bastard is fucking teasing me!

While hesitating whether to steam or braise Zhang Daoling, the egg in his hand was gone. Li Xiu and Li Hao broke the egg into pieces with a spoon and stuffed it into Li Hu's mouth.

Seeing that it was too late to stop him, Li Xiao was a little lucky. Fortunately, Li Hu was unconscious. Otherwise, if he were fed this thing, he would definitely fight to death.

I hope this thing is useful. Li Xiao has always stubbornly believed that traditional Taoism should belong to the category of psychological comfort. It has no effect on actual treatment at all.

Think of it as psychological comfort! Li Hu has been in coma for such a long time anyway, so he doesn’t care to wait a few more days. Although his brain injury is serious, it should not be a vegetative state. Maybe there is blood stasis in the brain, I don’t know when.

Once absorbed, you will wake up.

"Third brother! Third brother!"

"Lao San! Lao San!"

Li Xiao was wandering in the sky, and the almost crazy shouts of Li Xiu and Li Hao could be heard in his ears.

It's bad! It's bad after all. You know you can't eat something that has gone bad. Li Xiao rushed to the hospital bed in two steps. At this time, he might be able to spit it out even if he picked his throat.

Rushing to the hospital bed, Li Xiao was also stunned. He saw Li Hu's eyes widening, and his mouth was stuffed with many eggs chopped with a spoon.

"Pick it out quickly, you want to choke him to death." Li Xiao pointed at Li Hu with trembling fingers.

Li Xiu immediately dug out the eggs with a spoon, looking like he was trying to dig out Li Hu's tongue.

"Go away!" Li Xiao pulled Li Xiu away and waved his hand to a nurse. Professional things should be done by professionals.

The nurse quickly ran over and picked out the blackened eggs with her fingers. She also got a glass of water and fed it little by little into Li Hu's mouth.

"Cough cough cough!" Li Hu kept coughing, as if he wanted to cough out his lungs before he stopped.

"Lao San! Lao San, who am I?" Li Xiao touched Li Hu's forehead. This thing was so bizarre that Li Xiao could only explain that Li Hu had just woken up when the egg was stuffed into Li Hu's mouth. This explanation

, seems a bit more scientific.

But where the hell did such a coincidence come from!

"Third brother is awake! Third brother is awake!" Li Hao was jumping, crying and laughing beside him.

Li Xiu is relatively honest and only knows how to have fun on the side.

Yanyun stood up straight in surprise, and Xiaohong rushed to the bed in a few steps.

Li Zhongzi looked in disbelief and ran over, took Li Hu's arm and started taking his pulse.

The ward suddenly became chaotic. Zhang Daoling sat down on the ground. He closed his eyes and muttered something, not knowing what he was mumbling!

Li Hu woke up, and this explosive news spread quickly. The healing process was spread so miraculously that the Taoist temples around the capital suddenly became popular. This made the Buddhist monks very jealous. Many eminent monks said that they also had the ability to cure diseases.

It's just that I didn't have time to show it off.

If possible, they hoped that Li Hu would pass out again and show the boundless Dharma to the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

Li Xiao expressed his joy at this kind of competition. It was better to focus on research on curing diseases and saving people, rather than wasting food by meditating and chanting Buddha's name all day long.

After Li Hu woke up, his brain seemed to have eaten a lot. He felt dizzy at times and had no energy. He needed to be pushed by someone in a wheelchair when he went out for a walk. It was a hot September day in the capital, and he always felt cold even if he wore long clothes and long trousers.

During this period, Li Xiao could always see Xiaoyu when he went to see Li Hu. No matter how happy his face was, frost would appear the moment he saw Li Xiao. Li Xiao could only dodge helplessly, and everyone in the capital was confused.

He was living his life looking at Li Xiao's eyes, but Li Xiao wanted to look at this sister's face.

There is no way, one thing will conquer another. Xiaoyu is the one who conquered Li Xiao! Li Xiao always feels guilty about Xiaoyu's matter.

When the capital was in chaos, Li Xiao really didn't have the guts to bring Xiaoyu and the others to the capital. As a result, Xiaoyu only had Xiaoyu as a playmate on the island. A young girl's love affair was just beginning, and the two of them had been playing together since childhood, so nothing would happen.

In charge of things. The two of them did not create a nephew for Li Xiao, so they have already given Li Xiao a lot of face.

For so many years, we have either fought here or fought there. Sometimes Li Xiao even wonders if he has killed too many people and God will retaliate against him. Every time he thinks of this, Li Xiao feels hairy in his heart. The hairier his heart becomes, the more

He felt sorry for Xiaoyu. The more he felt sorry for Xiaoyu, the more he avoided her. In a vicious circle, Li Xiao always walked with his head down when he saw Xiaoyu.

Sun Chengzong had a good chat with that old bastard. The two old men chatted in the house all day. When they came out, they held hands, which made people wonder what they had been doing all day. How could they still be inseparable!

The power of the old guy is really incredible. It has only been a month since he returned to Shandong. A large number of Confucian disciples have emerged from various places and applied to teach in rural schools and urban schools. There are also many Confucian students who hope to serve as grassroots

Officials.

Sun Chengzong was overjoyed!

After the Meridian Gate Incident, the imperial court has been plagued by a shortage of staff. It was really hard to find a three-legged toad, and it was even harder to find someone who was willing to be an official. Now things are getting better, scholars are popping up like mushrooms after the rain. These

God, Sun Chengzong is always smiling. Li Xiao met the old fox several times, and the old guy was so happy that he couldn't even see his eyes.

It was October, when the autumn weather was crisp, and Master Ao came back. With the help of Ai Husheng, the First Division finally got rid of all the business. No one wanted to give up the profitable business, so Master Ao shot several officers to death.

The bloody heads made the cutting work much smoother. At least, there were no longer so many people clamoring to shoot Ai Husheng with a black gun.

Compared with the increasing peace in the north, the south is becoming more and more chaotic. There are gangsters everywhere. These guys are like rats and specialize in operating in the dark. They sneak around at night and plant a bomb in the trash can next to the government office.

Or find someone with strong strength to throw grenades into the government offices and military camps.

Yang Sichang was made afraid to go out, and five people were detained at Luo Yangxing's rural police station. The gang went crazy, and Jin Yiwei lost face. Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi and other provinces were almost involved in the turmoil. Officials were panicked.

You can't live without knowing when a flying grenade will blow up holes all over your body.

So much so that the county magistrate appointed by Yang Sichang had to make a will at home before taking office. Moreover, he would not take his family members with him to take office, and would rather suffer the pain of separation between husband and wife.

We can’t delay it any longer. Jiangnan is an important financial source for the imperial court. We must not let Jiangnan become the source of trouble for the imperial court!

On October 18th, Li Xiao took Ao Canghai on the train going south.

Although the railway track was only built to Zhuozhou, it was much faster than walking backwards. Going south along Zhuozhou, Li Xiao saw a series of affluent Zhuangzi villages. Li Xiao remembered that just a few years ago, Henan was still like that.

Poverty. Especially in places like Lankao in suburban counties. As long as there is some disaster, people will flee in droves.

I heard that the county magistrate named *** was changed here the year before last, and he led the villagers to build river embankments. He promoted potato and corn cultivation, and pioneered the development of the tourism industry. The last bend of the Jiuqu Yellow River is now famous far and near.

of scenery.

People from many nearby places came to visit, and provided food, clothing, housing, transportation, food, drinks, and toiletries, which made the people of Lankao earn a lot of money.

Li Xiao saw the county magistrate named ***, a dark and thin man. He was wandering around in his official uniform. When he saw Li Xiao, he didn't know how to say nice words, let alone show his credit. He just grinned.

Silly Le, looks like an old country farmer. This guy’s teeth are really white!

The oily-faced county magistrate next to him was much more eloquent than him. He followed Li Xiao all the way and never closed his mouth. Li Xiao looked at his teeth carefully and found that they were indeed a bit dark.

Good officials should be rewarded. Since they have done well, they have to shoulder a heavier burden. So, Li Xiao gave the order. The county magistrate of Bai Ya became the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture. The greasy-headed and noodle-faced county magistrate

, he became the county magistrate. I hope this guy’s face will be darker the next time I see him.

Before leaving, Li Xiao patted the county magistrate on the shoulder and told him that if the dike in Lankao breaks next year, the commander will definitely fill his whole family in. From the old to the young, he will not let go of a chicken or a dog.

Amid the cries of the county magistrate, Li Xiao continued to go south.

Yangzhou! Finally arrived in Yangzhou again!

This city that was once conquered by the Liao army has now become one of the first cities in the Ming Dynasty without city walls. Without the obstruction of the city walls, Yangzhou has become more and more lively. People from surrounding villages no longer have to pay the city gate fee when entering the city.

City gate tax. However, a kind of person called the Chengguan quietly appeared in the city and was extremely fierce.

Seeing the urban management chasing away the push cart vendors like a hound chasing a duck, Li Xiao shook his head helplessly. He thought of the little urban management captain by the Chaobai River, the Xiao Zhan who had beaten him into silence.

I don’t know where Zhang Huangyan sent this kid to dig in the sand. I’ll have to ask Zhang Huangyan next time I see him.

The source of Yangzhou's prosperity lies in the Lianghuai salt merchants, but now the status of the salt merchants is being severely tested. Ai Husheng is gradually opening up the salt ban. Now Liaodong, Hebei, Shandong and other places have opened up the salt industry. The salt industry has lasted for more than two thousand years.

The iron monopoly system is on the verge of collapse.

The salt merchants got rich because of the imperial monopoly. Now that the monopoly was broken, the salt merchants were in panic all day long. According to Luo Yangxing's report, a lot of the funds for those rebellious party members came from the Lianghuai salt merchants.

These guys are all wealthy people. It's just trivial to spend a small amount of money to support others to cause trouble.

So during this trip to the south of the Yangtze River, Li Xiao's first stop was in Yangzhou. He wanted to see how rich the salt merchants in Yangzhou were. Although Ming law protects legal private property, the law of the Ming Dynasty was written by Lao Tzu. Follow

If I discuss the law, I will kill you!

"See you, Marshal!" Luo Yangxing rushed to Yangzhou from Jinling Starry Night. When he saw Li Xiao, he quickly bowed and saluted.

"It seems that sending you to Jiangnan didn't have much effect. From the beginning of this spring to today, there have been shootings in Jinling City every now and then, and from time to time there are still people throwing explosive grenades into the governor's office.

Governor Yang Sichang was assassinated nine times, two of which were wounded. Minister Luo, tell me, when will these gangsters come to take my Li Xiao's head?" Li Xiao sat on the desk in a very inconspicuous manner, with his hand in his hand.

Playing with the tea cup on the table.
