The Tubo emissaries who had just regained consciousness looked at each other in dismay. However, when they found out about their medical bills, they didn't blame Lu Dongzan. Instead, they bitterly smiled and said, "We've troubled Doctor Mo. I'm afraid our lives aren't even worth a hundred coins."
Finished! Lang Mu struggled to get off the bed, but the intense pain caused him to collapse back onto the bed.
Mo Wu waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about the medical bills later. In the School of Medicine, there's no precedent of chasing people away before they're cured."
Meton waved his hand and a group of doctors immediately stepped forward to continue treating the Tubo emissaries. They also recorded the recovery of the Tubo emissaries.
"Dean Mo Wu, this is close to ten thousand coins worth of medical bills. You've just taken over Mo Hospital and you're already in such a huge deficit. I'm afraid …" A medical apprentice said worriedly. Mo Wu was originally young and didn't have enough prestige. It was only because of this surgery and Mo Wu's oath that he was able to obtain Sun Simiao's recognition and take over Mo Hospital. If someone were to use this against him, there would be no end of trouble. After all, the School of Medicine wasn't a harmonious group.
Meton shook his head and said, "Don't worry. The medical bills of the Tubo emissaries will naturally be taken advantage of."
"Taken advantage of?" The medical apprentice didn't understand.
Mo Wu glanced around and saw a shiny head entering Mo Hospital. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Aren't I here now?"
"This poor monk is Tongren. I'm here to pay the medical bills of the Tubo emissaries." Abbot Tongren clasped his hands together and said with a benevolent face.
"Master is merciful. Mo Wu is impressed." Mo Wu revealed a strange smile.
Although Abbot Tongren did not wallow in the mire with Tongji, he was familiar with Tongji's methods. Now that Buddhism had the medical bills of nearly ninety Tubo emissaries, these emissaries would most likely be on Buddhism's pirate ship from now on and become the first batch of Buddhism's troops in Tubo. From this point of view, Buddhism's medical bills of more than ten thousand strings of coins were not a loss at all.
"Amitabha, all of you benefactors are people with great blessings. You were supposed to die, but now you have come back from the dead. It is really the blessing of Buddha." In the ward, Abbot Tongren led the group of Tubo messengers to the heart of Buddha with a few words.
Logically speaking, it was forbidden for religions to propagate in the hospital. However, since Abbot Tongren was paying for it, the School of Medicine was lenient and did not stop him.
"Lang Mu thanks Grandmaster for saving my life! In this lifetime, I will always worship Buddha. " Lang Mu shed tears of gratitude. Even Lang Mu thought that he was not worth the price of hundreds of strings of coins per person, but he did not expect that the Buddhists would take it out without hesitation.
The other Tubo messengers were also shedding tears of gratitude. Their impression of the Buddhists increased.
"The Buddhists only help those who are fated and do not ask for anything in return. I hope that benefactors can continue to recuperate. After you have recovered, we will meet again if fate allows." Abbot Tongren clasped his hands together and said lightly.
The fact that Abbot Tongren did not ask for anything in return made the Tubo messengers firmly believe in the fate of the Buddhists. They believed that they were the people with great blessings that Abbot Tongren spoke of.
"Doctor Mo, other than paying for the medical fees, this monk has another purpose." Abbot Tongren walked out of the ward and found Mo Wu.
Abbot Tongren was a big financial backer. Mo Wu revealed a rare smile and said, "Abbot Tongren, please speak."
"I believe that Doctor Mo is aware that the Buddhists will be coming to the Tubo highlands to preach. However, the medicine in the highlands of Tubo is lagging behind. The commoners suffer from many illnesses. This monk wishes to ask the School of Medicine to prescribe some medicine." Abbot Tongren said directly.
Mo Wu could not help but frown and said, "Abbot Tongren, please do not blame us. The School of Medicine does not participate in the preaching of religions. However, we also do not allow religions to use medical knowledge to recruit believers. Please forgive the School of Medicine for not being able to help."
Abbot Tongren quickly shook his head and said, "Mister Mo Wu is mistaken. This monk does not wish to use the School of Medicine's medicine to preach Buddhism. Furthermore, the Buddhists do not need to do so. If this monk is willing, I can use Merton's anti-superstition methods to recruit believers in Tubo. Furthermore, ordinary medicine is not a secret in the hands of the Buddhists. "
Mo Wu nodded his head and looked at Abbot Tongren in confusion.
Abbot Tongren said frankly, "This monk wishes to obtain the True Azure Dragon Medicine. The Tang dynasty's Buddhism had just entered Tubo. Their foundation is not stable yet. They need the support of the upper echelons of Tubo. The True Azure Dragon Medicine that can bring people back from the dead is the best stepping stone. The Buddhists' westward entry into Tubo was under the guidance of Merton. Doctor Mo, you will not refuse to help, right? Of course, this monk will be frank. This is the School of Medicine's True Azure Dragon Medicine. We will definitely not use the True Azure Dragon Medicine to swindle others. "
Mo Wu frowned. As the leader of the School of Medicine, he already had the qualifications to know about the Hundred Schools of Medicine. Naturally, he knew about the deal between the School of Medicine and the Buddhists. He nodded his head slightly and said, "Since that is the case, the School of Medicine can follow the example of the Western Regions and give the Buddhists thirty-six courses of the True Azure Dragon Medicine every year."
"Many thanks Doctor Mo. The Buddhists will not forget the School of Medicine's help."
Abbot Tongren was overjoyed. The Buddhists had obtained the hearts of the people and the divine medicine. Even if they had to pay tens of thousands of strings of cash, it was still worth it.
"The Buddhists!"
When Lu Dongzan heard that the Buddhists had helped him, his face did not show much joy.
Although the Buddhists had paid for the medicine and helped Lu Dongzan out of his predicament, he understood that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. The Buddhists' current efforts would definitely be repaid in double in the future.
However, the current Lu Dongzan could only accept everything. There was only one culprit behind all of this, and that was Mo Jiazi.
"Mo Jiazi has gone too far!" Tubo's Deputy gnashed his teeth.
Lu Dongzan sneered, "Don't worry. Mo Jiazi won't be happy for long."
Tubo's Deputy immediately advised, "Great Minister, don't be rash. The Tang dynasty is powerful now, and Tubo had just obtained the forgiveness of the Tang dynasty. If you act rashly and anger the Tang dynasty, I'm afraid that Tubo will be in danger."
Lu Dongzan shook his head, "I know the severity of the matter. Naturally, I will not let Tubo take action."
"Then what do you mean, Great Minister?" Tubo's Deputy was surprised.
Lu Dongzan snorted, "According to the secret agreement between Tubo and Satoshi Tani, Mo Jiazi must be eliminated. Now that Tubo has failed, it's time for Satoshi Tani to take action."
Tubo's Deputy was relieved when he heard that it was not Tubo who would take action. He frowned, "The Western Turks are far away in the Western Regions. How can they kill Mo Jiazi?"
Lu Dongzan shook his head, "Then you are wrong. Don't you know where Satoshi Tani came from? He is the prince of the Eastern Turks, the son of Shibi Khan. He is Xieli Khan's uncle and nephew. He has a great influence on the Eastern Turks."
Tubo's Deputy fell into deep thought.
"The Tang dynasty conquered the Eastern Turks and moved all the Turks to the south. Although they put the Turks in important positions, there are still many people who hate the Tang dynasty. Many people have secretly contacted Satoshi Tani. As long as Satoshi Tani gives the order, the Turks in Chang 'an will naturally work for him." Lu Dongzan sneered.
"Assassination!" Tubo's Deputy was shocked and understood Satoshi Tani's plan.
"That's right!" Lu Dongzan nodded solemnly.
