The release of the comic formed two extremes in Chang 'an. On one side, the young people worshipped it like a god and loved it so much that they couldn't put it down. On the other side, the Headmaster objected.
In the Tang dynasty, books were a scarce resource. Although engraving printing had been spread and there were more than a dozen bookstores in Chang 'an, the price of books had plummeted. However, the use of precious paper on seemingly useless comics still caused a lot of criticism.
Fortunately, Meton asked Mochi to focus on printing new mathematics and delayed the second volume of the comic, which slightly reduced the popularity of the comic.
"The Women's Medical College is recruiting students!"
Once this shocking news spread, it immediately caused an uproar in the city and saved the comic from the whirlpool of public opinion.
"Women can also enter the college? It's like a hen leading the morning! " A white-haired Taoist with a long beard said while shaking his head when he saw the young women around him being led by their elders to the Imperial College.
Suddenly, many people around him looked at the old Taoist with surprise. A young man asked, "You just came to Chang 'an, right?"
The old Taoist raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "How did you know? I just came back from Jiangnan."
"Sir, you don't know. The Medical College for Female Doctors was approved by His Majesty. Sun Simiao, the miracle-working doctor, personally imparted his medical skills. It's a place that specializes in training female doctors. Everyone in Chang 'an knows about it!"
"Sun Simiao is familiar with it, but even so, if a woman shows up in public, won't her reputation be ruined? Even if you study medicine, you can't ignore the boundaries between men and women. You still have to abide by human relations." The old Taoist frowned.
"Old Sir, Master Mo has already considered your concerns. In this female medical school, other than Doctor Sun teaching medicine, the rest of the classes are taught by his female disciples. Moreover, they are managed in a closed manner. They are all female officials in the palace. Every month, they must be picked up by their parents." The young man described the rules of Mo Hospital in detail. He knew it like the back of his hand.
Meton had put in a lot of effort for the Medical College. He directly used all kinds of closed management in the future on the Medical College and dispelled the doubts of the people in Chang 'an.
"I naturally trust Divine Doctor Sun's character, but the son of the Mo Family that you mentioned is …"
"What? You don't know Mo Jiazi? He's … "The young man's eyes lit up as he recounted Morton's various deeds in an endless stream, as if he was reciting his family's treasures.
"Are you saying that it was the Mohists who did that?" The old Taoist priest's eyes lit up.
"You misunderstood me. It's not the sheep's fairy," the young man explained.......
"The Goat Fairy ascends to the sky, the Witch Doctor harms people, and the method of drought relief. Who would have thought that I, Yuan Shoucheng, have only left Chang 'an for a few years? I didn't expect such a person to appear in Chang 'an. "The old Taoist sighed and left.
"Yuan Shoucheng?" The young man thought for a long time. He seemed to have heard this name somewhere.
"Old Immortal Yuan!"
After a long time, the young man remembered Yuan Shoucheng's legendary deeds. He turned around and looked around, but found that there was no trace of Yuan Shoucheng. He could not help but sigh. If only he could take this opportunity to ask the old immortal to do a divination for him!
The young man sighed and walked in the direction of the Imperial College. Today was the enrollment day of the Medical College, so it must be very lively.
"Quick, quick, quick!" Qin Huaiyu took the lead and ran to Savant's Restaurant.
"Don't run so fast!" Meton panted. Although Meton had practiced the Five Animal Frolics Technique a lot, he was no match for Qin Huaiyu and the other two who worked hard every day. As for Zu Mingjun, who was even weaker, he had long been forgotten.
"After today, these female doctors will never come out again. We won't have the chance to see them even if we want to!" Cheng Chumo said excitedly.
Yuchi Baolin chuckled and rushed into Savant's Restaurant.
Meton looked at the three walking hormones speechlessly. Today was the day of enrollment for the Medical College. They had asked the constable of Wannian County to seal off three streets and only allowed women to enter. Savant's Restaurant was located in a good location. The three of them ran here as soon as they left school.
Meton stepped into Savant's Restaurant and realized that something was wrong. Qin Huaiyu and the other two who entered first were standing there obediently. Pande, dressed in plain clothes, was looking at Meton with a smile on his face beside a private room on the second floor.
"Uh!"
Since Pande was here, Li Shimin must be here too. Meton could only follow Pande into the private room.
In the private room.
Modun and the other three very consciously stood in a row. However, what was surprising was that Li Shimin only glanced at the four of them and ignored them. Instead, he was chatting cheerfully with an old Taoist with a ruddy complexion and white hair.
After a long while, the two of them turned their attention to Meton and the other three.
"What did you say you wanted to see just now?" Li Shimin sneered.
"No, nothing!"
"We're just here for a meal!"
…
The four of them quickly waved their hands and explained. They were so scared that their faces turned pale.
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. After all, they are young and like to join in the fun," the old Taoist priest said.
"Hmph! For the sake of Taoist Priest Yuan, I'll let you go this time, "Li Shimin surprisingly let the four of them go. Meton immediately realized that the old Taoist priest in front of him was not simple.
"Thank you, Taoist priest," Meton suppressed the doubts in his heart and quickly thanked the old Taoist priest with the four of them.
"This is Taoist Priest Yuan Shoucheng. Just now, Taoist Priest Yuan made a bet with me that the four of you would definitely come here today. I didn't expect it to be so. Taoist Priest Yuan is really smart," Li Shimin said with admiration.
Yuan Shoucheng!
Meton was shocked when he heard that. This was a powerful figure in Taoism. He was famous in all kinds of deduction in history. In addition, his nephew Yuan Tiangang was even better than him. Yuan Tiangang and his disciple Li Chunfeng had deduced the Push Back Chart of the two thousand years after the Tang Dynasty.
Morton knew what had happened to him. How could he not shudder in the face of such a legendary figure from history?
"Meton from the Mo Family greets Taoist Priest Yuan!" Meton took a deep breath and braced himself.
"I didn't expect that in less than ten years after I left Chang 'an City, the Mo Family, which had been silent for thousands of years, would have such a talented person." Yuan Shoucheng looked at Meton and praised him with amazement.
"Taoist Priest Yuan, don't flatter this kid. This kid is like a little catfish. He's very slippery and knows how to climb up a pole!" Li Shimin looked at Meton and snorted.
"Hahaha, Old Man is envious of these young calves' drive! Old Man traveled far away in Jiangnan. He also heard that the Mo Family had solved the witch doctor's case of harming people. He helped Taoism get rid of a scourge! "Yuan Shoucheng said.
In fact, other than witches and deities, there were many wild Taoist priests who also used this method to swindle and deceive people to destroy Taoism's reputation. Meton's move could be said to be a great help to Taoism.
"Taoist Priest, you're too polite. This is all thanks to His Majesty's wisdom and martial prowess. I dare not claim credit for it." Meton quickly declined.
"Haha, His Majesty is right. Mo Jiazi is indeed slippery." Yuan Shoucheng laughed.
Li Shimin glared at Meton. He leaned slightly towards Yuan Shoucheng and said, "I invited Taoist Priest here today because I have something to ask!"
"Please speak, Your Majesty." Yuan Shoucheng said.
"Recently, I've been waking up in the middle of the night. When I wake up, I'm covered in sweat. I wonder if Taoist Priest has a way to solve this problem?" Li Shimin asked in a low voice.
Yuan Shoucheng looked at Li Shimin's complexion in surprise. He calculated with his fingers and said, "Your Majesty woke up in the middle of the drought. Ever since His Majesty killed the clay sculpture of Jinghe Dragon King in the south of the city."
"Taoist Priest, you're indeed clever. That's exactly the case!" Li Shimin said in surprise.
"His Majesty has the body of a real dragon. Although Jinghe Dragon King is only a clay sculpture, it still collided with the dragon's qi. That's why this nightmare occurred." Yuan Shoucheng said.
"Taoist Priest, is there a way to solve this problem?" Li Shimin quickly said.
Although Li Shimin ordered to get rid of superstitions, it was not that Li Shimin did not believe in ghosts and deities after he confirmed that these were all tricks to deceive people. On the contrary, Li Shimin also believed in these things very much. When Li Shimin was young, there was a scholar who knew how to read people's faces. When he saw Li Shimin, the scholar actually said, "The appearance of dragons and phoenixes, the appearance of the sun and sky. When you're twenty years old, you will certainly be able to help the world and pacify the people." Li Yuan then adopted the meaning of "help the world and pacify the people" and named his son "Li Shimin."
Sure enough, when Li Shimin was around twenty years old, he started an expedition and pacified the four directions. He lived up to the four words of "help the world and pacify the people".
Yuan Shoucheng stroked his beard and said with confidence, "Most of Your Majesty's subordinates are iron-blooded generals. Their killing intent soars to the sky. As long as you choose two people to guard Your Majesty's sleeping quarters, Your Majesty will be safe!"
"My father is willing to guard Your Majesty!" Qin Huaiyu and Yuchi Bao Lin said in unison. Although Yuchi Bao Lin usually did not speak much, he did not drop the ball at the crucial moment.
Cheng Chumo was a beat slower. He opened his mouth regretfully.
Meton's heart shook. He did not expect that he would witness the birth of a door god again.
"Hmm? General Qin and General Yuchi are indeed suitable candidates. However, the two of them are not suitable to stay in the harem for too long. This old Taoist has heard that the Mohist's new painting technique can pass off the fake as the real thing. If Mo Jiazi can draw a portrait of the two of them, this old Taoist will cast a spell and hang it outside the door. This way, no one will be able to disturb Your Majesty! "Yuan Shoucheng looked at Merton.
"So it's to share Your Majesty's worries!" Meton hurriedly said.
Savant's Restaurant was Meton's headquarters. It had all kinds of painting tools. Meton immediately asked Master Yu to take out his brushes and drawing board. He then drew two large portraits of the door gods on the spot, referring to Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde.
Morton carefully painted the drawing. In a split second, a fierce general with eyes as big as copper bells and a large saber in his hand appeared on the paper. He looked like a ferocious fiend who was about to devour someone.
In truth, these two door gods were only slightly similar to Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde. However, they were the portraits that met Yuan Shoucheng's requirements the best.
"Mo Jiazi, you really live up to your reputation!"
Yuan Shoucheng was shocked as he looked at the Mo Family's son, who seemed to have a heart of seven orifices. Everyone thought that Yuan Shoucheng was praising Moton's painting skills, but Yuan Shoucheng thought that Moton's ability to understand the meaning of a painting was very rare. Unfortunately, if Moton was not a member of the Mo Family, he would definitely be able to inherit his legacy.
"You flatter me, you flatter me. Painting is just a minor Dao. It's all thanks to your brilliant immortal arts!" Meton said meaningfully.
Seeing Li Shimin and Yuan Shoucheng leave, Meton and the other three heaved a sigh of relief. As for the matter of the female medical school, they had long since forgotten about it.
"Daoist Yuan is indeed an immortal. To think that you were able to predict that we would come here. This time, we didn't suffer unjustly. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come here." Qin Huaiyu took a long sip of tea and panted.
"That's right, that's right." Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin nodded.
"Do you really think that we were able to predict it with our fingers?" Meton retorted.
"Isn't that so? Us brothers ran here as soon as we came out. No one knew that we were coming here. "Qin Huaiyu was puzzled.
"The Mo Family has done similar research on human psychology and behavior. Through a person's judgment, we can predict their next move. Think about it. Today, the female medical school is recruiting students. All of a sudden, several roads were closed. Moreover, Savant's Pavilion is the best location in the area. It's the closest to the Imperial College. Moreover, it's our property. Do you think that we would come here to observe the situation of the female medical school's recruitment?"
"In other words, it was inevitable that we would come here." Cheng Chumo suddenly understood.
"Then what about our father protecting Her Majesty?" Qin Huaiyu hurriedly asked.
"People have nightmares because they don't feel safe. If they know that the most powerful and trustworthy person is protecting them, they will naturally feel safe and won't have nightmares again," Meton said in a low voice.
Meton could even guess that Li Shimin's nightmares didn't start after he killed the clay figurine of the Dragon King. Perhaps after the Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin didn't have a good night's sleep.
And Yuan Shoucheng was definitely a master of psychology. Of course, he knew the root of Li Shimin's illness. He deliberately went along with Li Shimin's idea and used Jinghe Dragon King as a shield. He also conveniently suggested that two generals protect Li Shimin.
Of course, he would never say these words out loud. Even though Qin Huaiyu and the other two were his best brothers and were worthy of his trust, he could expose Yuan Shoucheng and offend the Taoists. However, he couldn't reveal Li Shimin's secret.
"So that's how it is! There's actually such a miraculous knowledge in the world, "Qin Huaiyu exclaimed.
"Doesn't that mean that there's nothing wrong with Yuan Shoucheng?" Cheng Chumo curled his lips and said. He had trusted Yuan Shoucheng before, but he didn't expect this to be the case.
"Nothing?" Meton looked at Cheng Chumo in surprise and said, "A person can see through you and know what you're going to do next. What do you think?"
The three of them shuddered at the same time.
Merton said, "Today's matter, let's rot in our hearts. No one can say anything."
The three of them nodded in unison. In the future, Yuan Shoucheng would continue to be his living immortal. They just needed to know what was going on in their hearts.
Qin Huaiyu and the other two looked at Meton with complicated expressions. Following Meton was indeed very exciting, but they also understood some cruel truths.
They really didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing that they knew about the mysteries of the Taoists.
