Chapter 978 Searching for Immortals in Zhongnan Mountain

In the mountains of Zhongnan, Chang'an.

A team of light cavalry galloped on the mountain road, as fast as the wind and fire.

The war horse foamed at the mouth, but the knights immediately had no intention of caring about the mount and were still driving. Under normal circumstances, this behavior would be handled by military law in the military.

But now, no one cares about the horse's life or death.

In the hearts of these knights, there is only one thing left, and Sun Simiao must be found.

“Have you arrived yet?”

There is no way ahead and the mount is powerless to run anymore.

"Return to the commander, he is still in the valley down the opposite peak."

As the saying goes, the horse runs to death when looking at the mountain. Looking at the mountain, Li Junxian couldn't help but smile bitterly. The horse was powerless to run, and there was no way ahead.

"This Sun Simiao, Mount Zhongnan is so big, why do you have to run to such a difficult place to reach?" Having said that, Li Junxian could only say this. He dismounted and patted the horse's neck a few times, "Old guy, go eat grass and rest by yourself, and come back to find you."

With a knife in hand, Li Junxian waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

There is no road or a horse to drive, but even if you walk, you have to walk through it.

This is their best opportunity. The emperor has been in a coma for three days. During these three days, the guards' personal military residence not only needs to investigate whether the emperor was poisoned and cursed, but also have to find good medicine and recipes for all parties.

It can be said that Li Junxian issued an order to the entire guard's personal military residence, and he would do anything to seek medical treatment. However, many doctors were found, even the doctors, wizards and witches, and countless folk remedies were found, but they were helpless in the face of the emperor's situation.

Li Junxian could only detain all these people first and then continue to search.

Some people say that there is a great doctor in Zhongnan Mountain named Sun Simiao, who has a skillful technique to rejuvenate the spring, and is known as the King of Medicine.

It is said that he was born in the seventh year of Datong in the Western Wei Dynasty. He must be eighty-one years old now. This man was born in a poor farmer's family. He was extremely smart since he was a child. When he grew up, he began to love Taoist Laozhuang Theory. At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, he saw that there were many national affairs, so he finally lived in the Nanshan Mountains and devoted himself to studying medical skills.

He would go down the mountain for a period of time every year, traveling around the countryside to cure poor people, so he has a very high reputation among the people.

Previously, Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor and sent people to Zhongnan Mountain to grant him official positions, wanting to ask him to be the court and the medical officer, but he refused.

"Guowei, is Sun Simiao really that powerful? If we just get a fame, wouldn't we just go there again?" A lieutenant asked. In the past few days, there have been thousands of famous doctors from all walks of life, but there are not many real miracle doctors, most of whom are doctors or liars selling dog skin plasters.

"Even if it's only one in ten thousand, we have to give it a try."

Li Junxian is under great pressure now. As the emperor's personal personalities and deeper in his confidant, he wants to see the emperor wake up earlier than anyone else.

"When Sun Simiao was still in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yang Jian invited him to Beijing to be a doctor of the Imperial College when he was the prime minister. It is said that he had visited Yang Jian and debated with a group of famous medical officials in the court at that time. Afterwards, all the medical officials claimed that Sun Simiao was proficient in the "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic", "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", "Shennong Bencao Jing" and other famous medical books in ancient times. I also heard that in recent years, Sun Simiao has been writing his own medical books, called "Qianjin Prescriptions" and "Qianjin Yifang". Countless doctors are hoping to see these two medical books."

Another school captain worried, "But Sun Yaowang is over 80 years old, and no one has seen him again for several years. Do you think he is old and dead?"

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and hurry up." Li Junxian was full of fire.

Everyone shut up and rushed forward.

It is rumored that the valley where Sun Simiao lived in seclusion was too far away. Compared to the places where some famous scholars stayed in seclusion, it was simply a primitive secret realm. They could only walk along the path of birds and beasts along the way.

After climbing mountains and valleys, it was getting dark. When everyone thought they had probably run the wrong trip, they finally saw a medicine garden appear in the valley ahead, with various medicinal materials planted inside.

"It seems that it's here."

Li Jun was envious and excited.

Behind the medicine garden with about a few acres of land are several thatched huts, starting with bamboo fences.

It is like a paradise. This is the real hermit. In comparison, the so-called hermits and famous people on Zhongnan Mountain are just like a demeanor, building a mountain villa, and bringing family servants and children, and they don’t look like they live in seclusion.

They just regarded living in seclusion in Mount Zhongnan as a shortcut to Zhongnan, gaining some reputation, so that they could enter the emperor's vision as soon as possible and enter the court as soon as possible. For example, Feng Deyi, the current Zhongshu Sheshou Sheren in the court, did this when they were young.

The group walked forward.

Before they got close to the thatched cottage, a few people came out.

The first middle-aged scholar looked like a sage dressed in a robe.

He bowed, "I wonder why you came here suddenly. This is my master's place to live in seclusion. It is inconvenient to disturb you. Please forgive me."

A lieutenant asked impatiently, "Is your master Sun Simiao?"

The middle-aged man frowned and called him a name, which was very impolite, let alone called him the name of an elder in person.

"Everyone, visitors are not accepted here, please go back."

Li Junxian stepped forward.

"This gentleman is polite. I am the one who is the chief magistrate of Wu Lian County, Li Junxian, the chief magistrate of the imperial guards. This disturbance has really encountered a difficult medical condition. The world's famous imperial doctors cannot be treated. He heard that Sun Yaowang Daming, so he came here to invite him. He was just in a hurry and did not bring any gifts. Please forgive me. There is only a little bit of gift here, so I will give you a gift for meeting. If Sun Yaowang helps to cure the disease, there will be ten times the gift as a thank you."

He waved his hand and several lieutenants each took out a few gold tins.

Each piece of pork waist weighs fifty taels, a full twenty.

One thousand taels of gold.

The middle-aged scholar couldn't help but be shocked.

A gift of a thousand taels of gold is too generous.

The young men behind him were even more stunned.

"this?"

Li Junxian took out his Jade Tiger Talisman Seal.

The middle-aged man had seen it and was nervously handed it back. At first, he thought that it was another powerful family member in Chang'an who came to ask the teacher to see a doctor.

But who knew that the other party was the commander of the guard's personal military mansion with jade talismans. Even if he lived in seclusion with his master in the mountains, he knew the name of the guard's personal military mansion.

The lieutenant of the personal guards' office came to invite him personally. It seems that the person who wants to see a doctor is not an ordinary person, probably someone in the palace is a noble person.

"Prince, please wait, I'll inform the teacher."

After a while, the middle-aged man came out with a young man.

The young man looked about twenty years old, with a rosy complexion, appearance, body shape and gait like a young man.

"Guiwei, this is my teacher, King Sun Yao."

Li Junxian and the captains of the guards' personal military mansion were all dumbfounded. Didn't it mean that Sun Simiao was in his 80s? Why did he look like he was less than 20 years old?
