Diagonally opposite the gate of Baifu is a tea house.
On the second floor by the window, sat a middle-aged Taoist priest in a blue Taoist robe.
The Taoist priest drank tea and ate snacks, looking at the gate of Fangfu from time to time.
If Bai Zhongdi sees him, he will definitely know him. This person is Taoist Yao whom the Bai family spent a lot of money to invite. As for the Taoist priest's real name, the Bai family didn't know either.
He personally inspected the geomantic land that the Bai family bought, and he also knew that there was a nest of white snakes living underneath. However, he deliberately concealed it and did not inform him.
Daoist Yao was also aware of the fact that Xue Huai led Bai Ruhai and his son to Baiyan Temple yesterday.
Bai Zhongdi embraced her baby, with a nurse and a servant behind her, and hurriedly boarded a carriage.
The carriage drove towards the south gate and went straight to Tiancheng Temple.
"I'm looking for Master Yongzhen of Tiancheng Temple. Unfortunately, I have to make a trip for nothing!" Taoist Yao said with a complacent expression while eating the cake.
Sure enough, as Taoist Yao expected, Bai Zhongdi rushed to Tiancheng Temple in a hurry. The monks in the temple informed that Master Yongzhen had left the temple as early as last year and traveled all over the world without a trace.
In desperation, Bai Zhongdi rushed back again.
So far, the Bai family has kept silent on this matter, and it has become a family taboo, and no one is allowed to mention it.
? The wind is blowing and the day is shining, and the scenery is rushing westward.
The time flies by like this quietly. Some people wear new clothes, some people light firecrackers, year after year.
The Bai family is still the same Bai family. It seems that what happened sixteen years ago has been gradually forgotten.
In the past sixteen years, Bai Ruhai has aged extremely quickly, and his body is getting worse day by day. Now it's old age, old age.
Now that the power of the Bai family is in the hands of Bai Zhongtian, the business of the Bai family's medicinal materials and medical center is booming.
But the more this is the case, the more uneasy Bai Ruhai becomes.
Because, not only did the serpentine mark on his granddaughter Bai Suzhen's back not disappear, but it became more and more weird.
When I was just born, the snake-shaped imprint was only the size of a thumb. Sixteen years later, the snake-shaped imprint was as big as a palm.
In the eyes of the Bai family, Bai Suzhen is an outlier.
She likes to be alone and doesn't like to talk, especially those eyes, which are as deep as an ancient well, calm, but seem to be able to penetrate people's hearts.
Moreover, what is even more unbearable is that Bai Suzhen only loves snakes.
In the courtyard where she lives, snakes can be seen at any time. Except for Bai Ruhai, Bai Zhongdi, his wife, and Xue Huai, the rest of the Bai family are afraid to avoid them.
Over the past sixteen years, Bai Suzhen has a clear understanding of the world she lives in.
She was in the Tang Dynasty, and now sitting on the dragon chair in Chang'an City is Tang Suzong-Li Heng. After the Anlushan Mutiny, the Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline. During the reign of Emperor Suzong, the Tang Dynasty was separated and wars broke out everywhere.
However, the land of Shu County is relatively more stable.
For the past sixteen years, Bai Suzhen has never lost her sister. If it was a coincidence that she was reincarnated into the Bai family, and she was pregnant with the snake curse, then the name Bai Suzhen is no longer a coincidence.
As if an invisible hand had paved the way and set up a good situation for her in advance, she was like a puppet on a string, following the designed trajectory.
So what is the final outcome?
The events of the past life are vividly remembered, never forgotten.
In this life, she doesn't want to make the same mistakes again!
But in the past sixteen years, Bai Suzhen had to accept the fact that nothing but practice. She originally wanted to get rid of the imprint on her body through practice, but this imprint was extremely weird, like a ghost, and could read the consciousness in her mind at any time.
Once she has the idea of ??practicing, the serpentine mark will impose various punishments on her.
One moment it's like falling into an ice cellar, the next moment it's scorched by flames, and from time to time there will be another heart-eating
In short, the snake-shaped mark will make Bai Suzhen suffer all kinds of hardships, making life worse than death.
If regardless of everything, Bai Suzhen had reason to believe that the mark would kill her if she practiced forcefully.
Therefore, after countless attempts, Bai Suzhen found the boundary between life and death.
As long as you don't cross the border, your life is safe.
According to the realm of Taoist practice, to a large extent, there is the realm of "five immortals", namely golden immortals, heavenly immortals, earth immortals, human immortals, and ghost immortals. kind of argument.
However, to become a human immortal, one needs to cross five hurdles, which are Zhoutian Yinqi, Refining Qi and Transforming Essence, Five Qi Chaoyuan, True Yuan Lingling, and Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.
Bai Suzhen wandered on the edge of life and death, passed sixteenYears of penance crossed the first threshold: Zhou Tian entrains Qi.
? For the introductory disciples of the Taoist sect, Zhou Tian Yin Qi is the most unworthy entry level. As long as people with better qualifications can practice for two or three years.
If placed in the secular martial arts, such a person is definitely a top master at the level of the leader of the martial arts.
The sixteen-year-old Bai Suzhen is no different from the top master in the world, but the Bai family knows nothing about it.
However, Bai Suzhen knew in her heart that although she had completed Zhou Tian Yin Qi, she could not cross the threshold of practicing Qi and transforming essence for the time being, because this was the final bottom line of the serpentine mark.
As long as she takes this step, even if the mark does not take her life, it will make her suffer.
? Although it is impossible to continue practicing, fortunately there are still two things that can be done, one is to read thousands of volumes of books, and the other is to cure diseases and save lives.
Read tens of thousands of volumes of books, all the collections of classics and history, poems, songs, and travel notes and essays collected by the Bai family.
There were no books to read at home, so his father Bai Zhongdi sent people to buy books from various bookstores in Shu County, and three carriages worth of books were dragged back.
Because of her love of reading, Bai Suzhen has the title of "bookworm".
In addition to studying, she will follow Xue Huai to see a doctor as a drug boy, mostly for intractable diseases that Xue Huai himself is quite troublesome.
These difficult and miscellaneous diseases are in the hands of Bai Suzhen, and the root cause can be found by peeling off the cocoons.
After all, Bai Suzhen in her previous life once opened Baohetang and Baoantang in Qiantang and Zhenjiang, needless to say that her medical skills are superb.
However, these are secondary.
What surprised Xue Huai even more was that Bai Suzhen could not only prescribe medicine independently, but also used extremely bold and aggressive medicines, which was in great contrast to her behavior in the Bai family.
Even with decades of clinical experience, he dare not use those medicinal materials with strong medicinal properties lightly.
You know, all medicines are three-point poisonous. What's more, if it is not used well, it will not save lives, but kill them.
But Bai Suzhen didn't seem to care about these things, she was relentless and used them correctly.
How did Xue Huai know that with two thousand years of experience in her life, she knows the qualities and uses of these common medicinal materials as well as rare medicinal materials.
? Now that he is back to his old business, the medicine is naturally drastic, and the disease can be cured when the medicine arrives.
Xue Huai originally planned to accept Bai Suzhen as an apprentice, but after seeing her medical skills, he completely gave up the idea of ??accepting an apprentice.
As for where Bai Suzhen's medical skills come from, after all, she has the title of "bookworm", and the books she reads naturally include various medical classics.
Bai Suzhen is not only good at medical skills, but she is also unambiguous in her life. Those who want to learn never hide their secrets.
It didn't take long for Bai Suzhen to have the reputation of "Medicine Immortal".
As the old saying goes, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong.
Bai Suzhen is a girl, how can she have such a reputation, but she came here by using her beauty to seduce her.
All kinds of rumors came like a tide. There are endless streams of smearers and abusers.
Bai Suzhen had never seen any big scenes before, so this kind of pediatric tricks was naturally ignored.
As for the instigators, they are Bai Zhongtian's two sons, Bai Chongwen and Bai Chongming.
Bai Chongwen, as the eldest grandson of the Bai family, is naturally expected to take over the position of head of the family from his father. However, Bai Chongwen has great talent and talent, and is much inferior to his younger brother Bai Chongming.
Bai Chongming is not the kind of master who is willing to be the heir, after his father Bai Zhongtian became the master of the family, he has moved a lot of thoughts.
The two brothers began to fight openly and secretly, and neither of them would admit defeat.
It never occurred to her that this strange cousin of theirs would show up unknowingly, let alone the title of "bookworm", and even get the reputation of "medicine fairy", this is not a slap in the face of his brothers.
In addition, Bai Suzhen has the love of Bai Ruhai and the support of the genius doctor Xue Huai. It is not guaranteed that one day Bai Ruhai will overcome all opinions and insist on giving Bai Suzhen the position of successor of the next patriarch, then they will not be happy for nothing.
Therefore, the two brothers formed an offensive and defensive alliance, and they worked together to discredit Bai Suzhen's reputation. They did a lot of small tricks secretly, but the effect was minimal.
Because Bai Suzhen does her own thing and doesn't care what the world thinks of her at all.
