About my eyes being reincarnated as my husband

Chapter 8 Xuanwu

Since the devil's heart was found by Lin Qingquan's eyes, it naturally belonged to Lin Qingquan.

When they parted, the old monk gave him a box made of pure gold.

The gold box is brilliant red, and the lid is carved with a dragon spitting beads out of its mouth.

This gold box must be priceless.Even the beads in the dragon's mouth are made of real jadeite, carved by hand and inlaid on the box cover.

The old monk specifically explained that the devil's heart will not rot and deteriorate only if it is placed in gold.

Lin Qingquan sealed the gold box, put it tightly in his pocket, and set off for the capital that night.

Kyoto and Osaka Castle are not far apart, and the trip only took five days.

When he entered the capital to pass the border, he first saw the general's decree posted in the streets:

[Recently, Yin Yang head interpreted the celestial phenomenon, and learned that the magical power of the earth has recovered, and the hidden people have turned into devil embryos, and the devil embryos are despicable and born with people, especially happy with injuries; they will awaken into demons in a short time, and they will be the first to eat the host; the devil is good Disguising, turning into a human form, and normalizing the world to hunt and eat all living beings, you can't die unless you take their hearts.It is actually a hell Yaksha. ]

[Today, officials and nobles, high stones, and rewards of ten thousand taels are used as rewards. If a sage doctor creates a good medicine for abortion, he will be given a gold quilt and an official position; ]

[May Wu Yun prosper. ]

In one sentence:

The shogunate is offering rewards to those with lofty ideals to develop a drug that can abort the magic fetus.

Lin Qingquan has dabbled in the political system of ancient Japan.

The shogunate, with the shogun as the core of power, was the highest authority in the Edo period, similar to the prime minister and cabinet in modern society.

The royal family is a symbol, and it only has certain powers in culture and religion.

As soon as this shogunate decree comes out, it shows that the society has realized the recovery of magic power and is taking action.

Lin Qingquan just glanced at the decree, not paying much attention to it.This is a matter of the shogunate and has little to do with him.

The only thing he is interested in is the royal family, because the three artifacts are in the royal family.

After entering Kyoto, Lin Qingquan temporarily lived in the inn.In the next few days, he spent money to find an informant, and visited several medical clinics in a row, before he inquired about the imperial doctor's affairs:

There are two imperial physicians in the royal family, one named Jing and the other named Rimu.

The two doctors usually live in the palace, but they will go back to their respective clinics every three months. The purpose is to select students from among the doctors who come here especially for their reputation, and take them under their wing.

The students under the imperial doctor's school are the reserve for the future imperial doctor.

The two imperial doctors will train the students, and select the best students to recommend to the royal family; in contrast, other students who are not so good will stay in the teacher's medical center to help run the business of the medical center.

The vast majority of students cannot become imperial physicians.But just by holding the title of "Doctor Yumen", he has inherited the signboard and word-of-mouth of the imperial doctor, and gained the trust of patients; even if he returns to his hometown after many years, he can open his own medical clinic and open a new door, and he can still continue his business.

Therefore, there are very few doctors like Lin Qingquan who came here to be imperial physicians.

The purpose of most people coming to apprentice is just to get the title of "Doctor Yumen".

The wonderful thing is that Dr. Jing's clinic is located in Xuanwu Mountain, and Dr. Higurashi's clinic is located in Suzaku Mountain, which is just one north and one south of Kyoto.

And Dr. Rimu hadn't accepted an apprentice for three years, and he didn't even return to the medical center in Zhuqueshan.His students left one after another because they couldn't see the master, and the medical center was changed to a pharmacy operated by selling medicinal materials.

Therefore, going to Xuanwu Mountain became the only choice.

Doctor Jing's medical center is called Xuanwu Medical Hall, which can only be reached by climbing more than 2000 stone steps from the foot of Xuanwu Mountain.

The flow of people under the mountain is huge, comparable to modern Dotonbori.The streets are full of food with different price points, taverns and kabuki halls are everywhere, high-end and cheap, and there are many mobile stalls selling burdens.If you stay here, you can enjoy the summer festival every day.

It is said that before the Xuanwu Medical Center was built, Xuanwu Mountain was just a wild and barren mountain that no one cared about.

After the medical hall was built, people came here for the reputation of Jingyu doctor.Xuanwu Mountain has been reborn since then and has become a veritable central business district.

Lin Qingquan climbed more than 2000 steps, sweating profusely, and arrived at the Xuanwu Medical Center halfway up the mountain.

As soon as he came up, he was overwhelmed by the style of the hospital.

The medical hall has three floors, and the walls of the third floor are covered with gold leaf, which looks as spectacular as the Kinkakuji Temple from a distance.The pillars of the house are carved with carved beams and painted buildings, and the outer layer is painted with black and gold paint.Glazed wind chimes are tied to the gilded eaves at the four corners, and fresher green maple leaves fall on the dark green tiles.The clouds and mist in the mountains are intertwined with the astringency of the trees, like entering a fairyland.

The most worth mentioning is that there is a statue of a turtle and a snake on the top of the arched roof.

The snake is wrapped around the shell of the turtle, and the turtle looks at each other in dismay, presenting the image of the turtle and the snake fighting.

Turtle and snake are Xuanwu.

In this kind of environment, just stepping through the door can cure most of the illness.

Compared with this, the Mumu Medical Center is like a canteen at the head of the village no more than 30 meters away from the latrine, which is especially popular with stray dogs when it rains.

"Are you here to see a doctor?" the doctor in charge of reception asked.

Lin Qingquan withdrew his gaze from the gleaming golden wall, "Dare to ask, how much is the consultation fee?"

"A small penalty." The medical attendant replied.

A small fine.Lin Qingquan calculated in his heart that the price was about fifty times that of his own.

The medical attendant couldn't help but look at Lin Qingquan a few more times.Seeing that he is full of energy, his face is rosy, his eyes are black and white, and even the whites of his eyes are less bloodshot than ordinary people. He just climbed up from the mountain and he is not even out of breath. He doesn't look like a patient at all.

"Could it be that Your Excellency is here to ask Master Baijing to be your teacher?"

Lin Qingquan nodded quickly in agreement.

The doctor and attendant understood, and handed over a wooden sign with "examination", "The examination will start in three days and last for one month. Only those who pass the examination can meet Mr. Jing. I wish you success in passing the double examination and becoming a mirror door." Xuanwu doctor."

Lin Qingquan looked at the single test word on the wooden sign, and asked suspiciously: "Assessment? Why are there double assessments?"

The medic began to explain patiently.It turned out that Imperial Physician Jing came back every three months and would only stay in the clinic for three days each time; but there were more than 100 people who came to him to learn from him.

With so many people, he didn't have time to interview each one in person, so he could only ask the three most valued students under his command to preside over a round of audition-like audition—that is, to select the top three from hundreds of people.

These three people will be eligible to be interviewed by the mirror imperial doctor.As for whether he will be admitted to Jingmen in the end, it depends on the decision of Imperial Doctor Jing.

In fact, it is the beginning and the end, which is easy to understand.

But what Lin Qingquan didn't expect was that in Edo, which has a population of only one million, there are hundreds of people vying for a place.

The competition was fiercer than he had expected.

"It's not surprising. Mr. Jing's medical skills are excellent, he has a good reputation, and he treats students kindly. He is also very charming, which naturally attracts young doctors from afar. What's more, all the students who enter the Jingmen are called 'Xuanwu Doctors' when they go out. , even if you are not from the Wu family, you can ride in sedan chairs and carriages, and the scenery is infinite."

"Can you still sit in a sedan chair?" Lin Qingquan asked.Because of his civilian status, even if he has money, he is not qualified to ride a sedan chair.

From Edo to Osaka, and then from Osaka to Kyoto, he walked all the 20 days with his feet.

"Yes. Becoming a Xuanwu doctor is both proud and hard work." The doctor said with a smile, "After all, Master Higurashi in Suzaku Mountain no longer accepts students, and more doctors come to see Master Jing."

The Xuanwu Medical Hall covers an area of ​​about [-] square meters.

The entire medical center is divided into three independent small halls, and the names are quite interesting, called "Shangjiao Pavilion", "Zhongjiao Pavilion" and "Xiajiao Pavilion".

Each of the three small pavilions has its own use.Comparing to modern times, the Shangjiao Pavilion is the place for outpatient consultation; the Zhongjiao Pavilion is the inpatient department for patients; and the Xiajiao Pavilion is the living and lodging place for Xuanwu doctors and medical attendants.

I have to say that the naming of the Xuanwu Medical Center is very good.

Chinese medicine was revered in the Edo period.There is a concept in Chinese medicine called the triple burner: the upper burner from the head to the heart, the middle burner from the heart to the navel, and the lower burner from the navel to the feet. In this way, the human body is divided into three parts.

Naming the three small restaurants like this means that doctors and patients are integrated.

Lin Qingquan also found that the style of the Xuanwu Medical Center was orderly.

How regular is it? Not only the Xuanwu doctors who have entered the Jingmen have to wear all lake blue kimonos, but even foreign candidates like Lin Qingquan have to wear uniformly distributed brown-yellow kimonos. They lived together in Xuanwu Mountain like military training.

It's just that he can neither live in the Zhongjiao Pavilion nor the Xiajiao Pavilion.

Lin Qingquan changed into a mud-yellow kimono, and was guided by a medical attendant, passing the Xiajiao Hall covered with gold leaf outside the walls, and climbing hundreds of steps to the examinee-only dormitory near the top of the mountain.

He wowed from the bottom of his heart.

As far as the eye can see, the residence is only one floor low, with an area of ​​half a small playground, surrounded by rustling bamboos.The decoration of the house is very simple, the yellow, yellow and white paper doors are like washed old and white sheets.There are bunks less than one meter apart on the solid-colored tatami mats.

Isn't this the Datong shop?

Compared with the Xiajiao Pavilion where the Xuanwu doctors lived, this place is like a sewer.

"Your bed is right there." The doctor pointed to a corner, but there was an indescribable expression on his face, "...for the next month, you can sleep in that bed."

He helped bring the luggage in, turned around, and left without looking back.

The bed assigned to Lin Qingquan was in the corner.

Lin Qingquan was very satisfied.Because this bed is the most secluded, and you can see Xiaoxiao bamboo shadows.Waking up in the middle of the night, with the moonlight shining through the gaps between the bamboo leaves, it is like living in a moonlight picture in an ukiyo-e, which is extremely romantic.

Nice to think about.

"hey-hey."

A gloating laugh came from behind.Before Lin Qingquan could turn his head, he felt someone push him vigorously, and then a carp straightened up and lay down on it.

"You don't know how the last person who slept in this bed died."

This person was wearing a mud yellow kimono exactly like Lin Qingquan's, and it seemed that he was also an examinee.

His skin is a wheat color darker than the mud yellow, he looks very healthy, his hair is shaved short, and his face is arrogant, just like the cannon fodder in Japanese black | ruffian.

He kicked his legs twice, and stepped on the white sheets to make two dirty spots, as if to deliberately disgust people.

Lin Qingquan's expression changed, "Go down. Don't touch my things."

The man didn't intend to move at all, and said with a smile, "Hey, you're a newcomer, right? You like this bed so much?"

He stood up deliberately, and with a very unbeaten expression, he stepped on the bed sheet with his straw sandals soaked in dust.

Lin Qingquan's face sank like stagnant water, "Don't touch my things."

"Yo. You're really not afraid of death." The man raised his chin and said with a strange air, "I said, don't newcomers understand the rules of saluting to seniors? Can't they even say 'Please advise me'?"

Without saying a word, Lin Qingquan picked up the low table and threw it at his face.

This person never thought that a junior with a gentle appearance could do such a thing.When the opponent smashed the low table over, he didn't recover at all.I just felt those black eyes staring at me, obviously I couldn't feel any anger or excitement, but there was an inexplicable chill on my back.

He just took a solid hit like this.

There was a burst of numbness in the cheekbones, spreading across the whole face, followed by a deep dull pain.

He blinked a few times, hissed a few times, suddenly realized, and touched his cheek.

"What are you doing?!" He looked at the blood on his hands and yelled out loud.

Lin Qingquan put down the blood-stained low table and said, "Kill you."
