Perhaps seeing these 10 children reminded Daoist Qiuting of himself, which is why he finally relented and agreed to Yun Zhaozhao's request.
Perhaps this is the Inheritance of Daoist medicine. Because she herself has benefited from it, she now hopes that children who have similar experiences can also benefit from it.
Yun Zhaozhao: "If I had known that sending these 10 kids would have solved the problem, I would have sent them all long ago. I wouldn't have had to make so many trips myself."
Tang Li: "That's hard to say. If you really send those 10 children, Daoist Qiuting might get so angry that he'll completely give up on cooperating with our Clear Breeze Temple. After all, if we can even use children, it's hard for Daoist Qiuting not to suspect our sinister intentions. So, every arrangement is for the best."
Yun Zhaozhao: "That makes sense. Now you'll have more to write about in your promotional articles, since the Daoist Medical Clinic is our top priority right now."
Chapter 84
Daoist Songting said he needed to go back and tidy up, Yun Zhaozhao thought it would take at least ten days to half a month. This way, Tang Li could promote and hype it up online in advance so that more people would know that the Daoist medical clinic at Clear Breeze Temple would soon be put into use.
However, she underestimated Daoist Songting's determination, because just two days after Daoist Songting finished speaking, he and his disciple packed their bags and appeared at the entrance of Clear Breeze Temple.
The last Yun Zhaozhao saw who appeared at the entrance of Clear Breeze Temple with simple luggage was Daoist Chang Kong. At that time, Daoist Chang Kong was carrying a small basket on his back, which contained his pots and pans.
This time, Daoist Songting's luggage wasn't much more than Daoist Chang Kong's; he only brought a small suitcase. When Yun Zhaozhao opened it, she found that it was mostly filled with all sorts of medical books.
Besides that, there were only a few very basic daily necessities.
Yun Zhaozhao thought that, from this perspective, Daoist Chang Kong and Daoist Qiuting should be the same type of people. Because neither of them paid much attention to material enjoyment; they had their own spiritual world. So as long as their spiritual world was satisfied, everything else could be ignored.
Although Daoist Qiuting's arrival was unexpected, fortunately, Yun Zhaozhao had already prepared the Daoist medical clinic in advance, so even though Daoist Qiuting arrived early, the clinic still opened smoothly and auspiciously.
Daoist Qiuting was already very famous at Knowing Autumn Temple, so even though Tang Li didn't have time to promote her opening of a Daoist medical clinic at Clear Breeze Temple beforehand, many patients still came to her clinic.
Lin Banxia had already been obediently staying in the Daoist clinic serving tea and water and doing odd jobs on the very day that Daoist Qiuting arrived.
When Daoist Qiuting came this time, in addition to a suitcase full of medical books, she also brought her little apprentice Daoist Yiyezi.
Before arriving, Daoist Yiyezi already knew that Daoist Qiuting would be taking on several more young disciples at Clear Breeze Temple. However, she had been told that these disciples were all quite young, the oldest no more than six years old and the youngest perhaps only three. These children had a very long way to go before becoming capable Daoist healers, so Daoist Yiyezi wasn't worried at all; in fact, she was quite looking forward to it. However, upon arrival, she didn't see the young disciples, but instead saw Lin Banxia. Daoist Yiyezi immediately felt immense competitive pressure and couldn't help but worry about losing her position.
This is why, although Daoist Qiuting was very kind to Lin Banxia, Daoist Yiyezi was very unfriendly when he looked at Lin Banxia.
Fortunately, Lin Banxia was very easygoing. She didn't notice Daoist Yiyezi's hostility at all because her focus was entirely on Daoist Qiuting. Before, she wanted to learn medicine, but she didn't have a very clear goal. She just liked and loved it. But this time, watching Daoist Qiuting take pulses and diagnose patients up close, and then prescribe medicine... she suddenly became determined about her goal.
She privately told Yun Zhaozhao, "I hope that I can become a Daoist doctor like Daoist Qiuting in the future."
Yun Zhaozhao thought for a moment, then said something surprising, "Before that, you have to become a nun."
Lin Banxia: "..."
Although Daoist Qiuting was in charge of the Daoist Medicine Hall at Clear Breeze Temple, she didn't have much contact with the other people at the Clear Breeze Temple. Yun Zhaozhao didn't know if it was because Knowing Autumn Temple Daoist Qiuting still considered herself a Daoist from Daoist Qiuting, or if it was just her personality, but Yun Zhaozhao respected her wishes. Since Daoist Qiuting didn't want to have too much contact with everyone, Yun Zhaozhao instructed everyone not to disturb her. Even her meals were prepared every day and delivered to the Daoist Medicine Hall so that Daoist Qiuting and her disciple could eat by themselves.
Later, Daoist Qiuting found this too troublesome, so Yun Zhaozhao built a simple kitchen next to the Daoist medical clinic. Then, every day when the vegetable delivery lady came to deliver vegetables to Clear Breeze Temple, she would also deliver a small portion separately to Daoist Qiuting.
Over time, although Daoist Qiuting was in Clear Breeze Temple, she seemed to operate as if she were her own person.
As the publicity director of Clear Breeze Temple, Tang Li is responsible not only for the Clear Breeze Temple's external publicity but also for maintaining the unity and stability of the Clear Breeze Temple's internal staff.
He had initially worried that the other Daoist priests at Daoist Qiuting 'Clear Breeze Temple special treatment. After all, in the companies he had worked for before, aside from the leaders, what they feared most was ordinary colleagues seeking special treatment from each other. What was that saying again? It's not scarcity that's worrisome, but inequality.
But Clear Breeze Temple is quite good in this respect. No one shows any jealousy towards Daoist Qiuting's special status; everyone seems to be able to allow others to be themselves and allow themselves to be themselves.
Some Daoist priests even said that everyone at Clear Breeze Temple enjoys a certain special privilege! This is what makes Clear Breeze Temple different from other Daoist temples.
Tang Li thought about it and realized it made sense. After all, the reason he chose to stay at Clear Breeze Temple Clear Breeze Temple was precisely because he could be himself there and feel comfortable.
-
Daoist Qiuting had previously said that he would pass on his medical skills to the 10 young Daoist priests at Clear Breeze Temple. So, after discussing it with Daoist Qiuting, Yun Zhaozhao Daoist Qiuting him to teach these 10 young Daoist priests in addition to practicing medicine.
Or to be more precise, he gave a class to 11 Daoist priests together—because Lin Banxia was one of them.
Yun Zhaozhao was initially worried that Daoist Qiuting's lectures would be too dry and that the young children wouldn't be able to keep up. However, she didn't know whether Daoist Qiuting had taken their age into consideration and simplified the course content, or whether Master Daoist Qiuting was truly suited to be a teacher. In any case, Yun Zhaozhao privately asked several children, and they all said that studying medicine was fun and that they wanted to be doctors when they grew up.
However, when Yun Zhaozhao inquired further, she discovered that the children's dreams were gradually becoming more and more outrageous.
Some children said they wanted to be dentists when they grew up, and then treat hippos' teeth; others said they wanted to be like woodpeckers, tree doctors, and treat big trees...
Yun Zhaozhao: "..."
Daoist Qiuting was quite open-minded. "As long as you want to be a doctor, that's fine. As for what kind of doctor, that's a matter for the future. Now it's like sowing seeds. As for what kind of flowers will bloom and what kind of fruit will bear, that depends on fate and destiny."
Yun Zhaozhao was initially a little worried, but after listening to Daoist Qiuting's words, she calmed down. Yes, life is long, who knows what the future holds? Let's just take it one step at a time!
Although Daoist Qiuting rarely lingered in other parts of Clear Breeze Temple except for medical consultations and teaching children, there was one place she loved to visit: the medicinal herb garden that Lin Banxia had planted in the backyard.
You could say that if you can't find Daoist Qiuting at the Daoist medical clinic, then go to the Chinese herbal medicine garden; you're sure to find him there.
When the new Clear Breeze Temple was built, the backyard was opened up, and Yun Zhaozhao said that she wanted to plant Chinese medicinal herbs in all the empty space in the backyard.
Now is the perfect time to take advantage of Daoist Qiuting's expertise in this field. We can have him compile a list of medicinal herbs to be planted. Then, Yun Zhaozhao can find someone to plant them according to the list provided by Daoist Qiuting. This will prevent them from planting whatever they can find, as they did before, where many of the herbs they planted were not commonly used for daily medical treatment, while the herbs they needed might not be available.
Daoist Qiuting was quite happy to do this job, but she didn't do it herself. Instead, she assigned it to her disciple, Daoist Yiyezi. After all, she was usually responsible for treating patients, while the work involving Chinese herbal medicine, such as dispensing, preparing, and decocting medicine, was mostly handled by her disciple Daoist Yiyezi. Daoist Qiuting believed that her disciple was capable of handling this kind of work.
It was during this process that Daoist Qiuting discovered Lin Banxia's strengths. Although Lin Banxia Lin Banxia was a self-taught amateur medical enthusiast, her understanding and research of Chinese herbal medicine far surpassed that of ordinary people, and even far exceeded that of professional medical students.
Lin Banxia wasn't modest at all, and said very proudly, "That's because I've memorized most of a book of traditional Chinese medicine texts during this period! Moreover, in the past six months at Clear Breeze Temple, I've been dealing with traditional Chinese medicine herbs all the time. Combining practice with theory naturally leads to a deeper understanding than simply learning theoretical knowledge."
Daoist Qiuting, "If you have time in the future, you can learn how to prepare and decoct medicine with Yiyezi. You can also consult her if you don't understand anything. You two can learn from each other, help each other, and make progress together."
-
Daoist Yiyezi's mind worked quickly upon hearing her master's arrangement—when she first became his disciple, her master had also told her that she would learn to prepare and mix medicines from him, and that she could ask him any questions she had.
So, does that mean she's Lin Banxia's master now?
Having figured this out, the pressure that had been building up in Yiyezi's heart for so long, the fear of losing favor, instantly transformed into pride.
She ran up to Lin Banxia Lin Banxia a cheerful smile and teased her, "Call me Master."
Yiyezi assumed that, given Lin Banxia's temperament, she would either get angry or ignore her. Although they hadn't known each other for very long, Yiyezi could tell that Lin Banxia wasn't the kind of person with a particularly good temper.
