Chapter 153: The Ancient Temple of Woyun Village

Woyun Village is located in the canyon surrounded by mountains. The mountains around the village are surrounded by clouds and fog, as if it is located among the clouds. This is the origin of the name "Woyun Village".

There is no road in the village, only a dirt road leading to the outside of the mountain. It is said that the nearest town is more than 60 kilometers away, and it takes two days to walk into the town to catch a market. The traffic is blocked and the economy cannot develop. When Ning Tao came to the village, he had a feeling of going back in time, as if he had come to a village decades ago.

Jian Mi took Ning Tao to his home, and Ning Tao met his mother. She is not very old, but because of years of hard work, white hair has appeared on her head, her hands are very rough, and her fingers and jaws have obvious calluses.

Jian Mi's mother heard that Ning Tao had rescued her son and the archaeological team, she wanted to keep Ning Tao for lunch, and asked Jian Mi to catch chickens. Ning Tao couldn't shirk it, so he had to agree. The members of the archaeological team also stayed at Jian Jian's home, and Ma Tongtong and another woman helped Jian Jian's mother cook. Jian Mi's mother's surname is Jiang, and they all call her Aunt Jiang.

Ning Tao couldn't wait, so he wandered around the village with Qing Zhui.

At the end of the village, there is a small temple that looks very old. The two nanmu trees in front of the gate need to be hugged by people. A stone tablet was erected beside the steps of the small temple. The stone tablet was covered with moss and was full of traces of weathering, but the writing on it could still be vaguely recognized: Yandi Temple.

The god enshrined in this small temple is Emperor Yan, also known as Shennong.

Yandi Shennong is the leader of the tribe with the surname Jiang, and Jian Mi's mother is also surnamed Jiang. Ning Tao couldn't help but have some inexplicable associations in his mind.

The temple door of the small temple is open, and one can see the statue sitting on the altar at a glance, holding a plant of grass in one hand and a farm tool for shoveling soil in the other. The idol was carved out of rock, and its face was so weathered that it was impossible to see what it looked like.

Under the shrine is a stone tripod for burning incense, but no incense is burning.

No one could be seen in the small temple, it was quiet.

A thought suddenly popped up in Ning Tao's mind, and he said to Qing Zhui, "Qing Zhui, help me look out for someone."

Qing Zhui said: "Do you want to relieve yourself? This is not good, this is a temple, but I can accompany you to the grove."

Ning Tao didn't bother to care about her, he opened the small medicine box on his shoulder, took out the small porcelain gun that contained the broken version of Xunzu Pill, pulled out the plug, and poured the broken version of Xunzu Pill in it. palm. Afterwards, he handed the remnant Xunzu Pill to his nostrils and took a deep sniff twice.

The drug allergic reaction of the remnant version of Xun Zudan appeared soon,

Ning Tao's eyes were scorching hot, and after a second or two of brief blindness, what he saw suddenly changed.

The small temple in front of him still exists, and the stone statue of Emperor Yan still sits on the shrine, but the face is not blurred, but very clear. A child squatted under the steps to tease ants with grass. He was wearing crotch pants, and the bird was exposed to the air without any cover, dirty.

I don't know whose family the child is, nor what period it is, but what is certain is that the grass on his grave is probably full of grass, right?

Ning Tao blinked his eyes, looked at the small temple again, and was suddenly stunned on the spot.

The woman appeared again, this time she stood at the gate of the small temple and looked at him. Her face is thin and beautiful, her crescent eyebrows are like Dai's, and she has a pair of pale green phoenix eyes. If it weren't for these pair of demon eyes, she would definitely be a beauty who would sink a fish into a wild goose, and might be famous in history, such as Xi Shi, Yang Yuhuan, Diao Chan and Wang Zhaojun. She may become a poet, such as Shangguan Wan'er, such as Li Qingzhao.

She just stood there without saying a word, but it gave people the feeling that she was full of stories, every story was so mysterious, and there were vicissitudes and heavy atmosphere of history.

This is the first time Ning Tao saw her face in this sudden situation.

Last time, she was wearing a red cheongsam. He thought she was from the Republic of China period. But this time she was wearing a set of red Hanfu, with wide collar and wide sleeves, and a gold hairpin on her head. She looked like a lady from the Han, Tang or Ming dynasties.

The four eyes meet, time and space seem to be blurred, the past is not the past, and the present is not the present.

"You... are you Zhu Hongyu?" Ning Tao broke the weird atmosphere.

The woman didn't speak, she was just an image that appeared for no reason.

But with this opening, the scene in front of Ning Tao's eyes shook, melting like snowflakes under the scorching sun. His vision was blurred for a second or two, and after returning to normal, he could no longer see the woman, and the face of Yandi Shennong in the small temple was no longer clear, and the years had blurred its face.

The allergic reaction to the drug of the remnant version of Xun Zudan disappeared.

"Brother Ning, who did you call just now?" Qing Zhui asked curiously, "But I didn't see anyone else."

"Smell this Xunzu Pill, I can see some strange visions." Ning Tao said, he didn't want to hide Qing Zhui.

Qing Zhui suddenly came to Ning Tao's side, lowered her head and sniffed the remnant Xunzu Pill in his hand, but there was no response, she even stuck out her tongue and licked it, but still no response.

Ning Tao said: "You have one yourself. If you reacted, you would have seen what I saw." He put the incomplete Ancestor-Xun Pill back into the small porcelain gun and put it away. Then he said, "Let's go in and have a look."

Qing Zhui followed Ning Tao into the small temple.

Behind the main hall of the small temple is a small yard, a row of stone walls, and a small shed built under the stone wall, in which there are some sundries, buckets and brooms, but nothing else.

Ning Tao felt a little disappointed, he left the small temple at the end of the village, and returned to Jianji's home with Qing Zhui.

Aunt Jiang and Ma Tongtong were still busy in the kitchen, and Ning Tao walked in to help light the fire.

"Doctor Ning, don't be so busy. You can rest. You are a nobleman in our family. How can you make a fire when you are invited to dinner?" Aunt Jiang looked very sorry.

Ning Tao smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm idle, Aunt Jiang, don't say anything polite, I came to light the fire to chat with you."

Aunt Jiang smiled, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Ning Tao said, "When was the Yandi Temple at the end of the village built?"

Aunt Jiang thought for a while before saying: "I don't know the exact time, but I heard from my grandfather that the Yandi Temple was there when he was born. I think it must have been hundreds of years."

"Is there no one to manage it?" Ning Tao asked again.

Aunt Jiang stir-fried the potatoes and chicken in the big iron pot. "In a small rural temple, anyone who needs to pray to God and Buddha will go to burn incense and worship. No one manages it. The incense used to be very strong, and no one goes there now." I worship Emperor Yan. Young people, those who have connections have gone to the city to make money, leaving us old people useless to farm, who has such idle thoughts." After a pause, she added another sentence, "By the way, Doctor Ning, why are you asking this?"

Ning Tao said, "I'm just asking casually."

Ma Tongtong, who was cutting the chicken offal, said: "I have also visited that small temple. According to my experience, it has a history of at least four or five hundred years. It is a small temple, and there is nothing special about it."

Ning Tao said: "Miss Ma, can you give me your mobile phone number?"

Ma Tongtong said: "Yes, my mobile phone number is 138..."

Ning Tao edited Ma Tongtong's mobile phone number as a contact, and then called Ma Tongtong. When Ma Tongtong was editing his number, he said, "If you borrow that book, you can call me. If I can't come, please take a picture of the book and send it to me, is that okay?"

Ma Tongtong smiled at Ning Tao, "Of course, but you still have to give me your WeChat ID."

Ning Tao also smiled, and then said his WeChat ID.

At this time, Jian Mi walked in, looked at her, and his mother took a look, hesitated for a while before saying: "Doctor Ning, can I take you as my teacher and study medicine with you?" He was about to kneel down.

Ning Tao hurriedly supported him, and said: "What are you doing? Studying medicine is not an easy thing. I studied for 12 years before I was admitted to a medical university, and then I studied in university for another four years. It can be regarded as mastering the ability to see and treat diseases. Everything else is easy to talk about, but this is the matter of studying medicine, so I can't accept you as an apprentice."

Aunt Jiang sighed.

Jian Mi also seemed sad, but he seemed to understand what Ning Tao said. Studying medicine requires a rich reserve of knowledge, but he just doesn't have it.

Ning Tao said: "Why don't I show you the medicinal materials I collected, and you can help me collect them when you have nothing to do. You can also ask the villagers to help you, and I will buy them when the time comes. There is absolutely no price in terms of price." Question, make sure you marry a daughter-in-law."

Jian Mi's face immediately turned red.

Aunt Jiang said: "You're so stupid, why don't you thank Dr. Ning."

Only then did Jian Mi come to her senses, and said shyly, "Thank you, Dr. Ning."

Ning Tao said: "Jian Mi, take me to your room, I will have a good talk with you."

"Okay, Doctor Ning, come with me." Jian Mi looked very happy.

Ning Tao brought the collected medicinal materials into the compact room, and then told him one by one the characteristics of those medicinal materials, where they could be collected, and so on.

Jian Mi listened carefully, for fear of missing something.

After Ning Tao finished speaking, he put his right index finger between his teeth and bit it lightly, then walked under the wall and drew a blood lock in an inconspicuous place.

Jian Mi looked at Ning Tao with curious eyes, "Doctor Ning, what are you...doing?"

Ning Tao said: "Leave this alone, remember not to rub it."

Jane nodded, "Okay, I won't wipe it."

Ning Tao said, "It's best to cover it with a painting."

Jian Mi nodded again, "Okay, I'll cover it with a painting."

Ning Tao said with a smile: "You are really an honest child. When you grow up, I will introduce you to someone."

Jian Mi asked: "Doctor Ning, have you found a partner? How does it feel to find a partner?"

Ning Tao was suddenly embarrassed, "Well... let's go out and see if the meal is ready."

After lunch, Ning Tao bid farewell to members of the archaeological team, Aunt Jiang and Jian Mi, and left along the way out of the village with Qingchai and the medicinal materials he had collected. Not long after leaving the village, Ning Tao and Qing Zhui went into the forest and drew a blood lock under a cliff that would not be drenched by rain.

"It's past the time for the clinic to move. I don't know where it will be moved." Standing in front of the blood lock, holding the key, Ning Tao became nervous.

Qing Zhui thought about it for a while and said, "Don't you know when you go back and have a look?"

Ning Tao poked the key into the blood lock.
