Chapter 252 Nian Duan's Three Unsaveable Acts

Chapter 252 Nian Duan's Three No-Save Principles

In this era of competing to be the worst, the high-ranking officials of the Yan and Zhao states were mostly corrupt.

However, the land of Yan and Zhao is full of heroic and tragic songs, and there are quite a few chivalrous people who are willing to sacrifice their lives without fear of death.

However, since Yan Dan had already been suppressed by Lord Yan Chun and sent to Qin as a hostage, Ying Jing had no interest in leisurely strolling around and experiencing the local customs of Yan. The carriage headed straight for Mirror Lake.

……

Jinghu became a sacred place for physicians because it was the residence of the renowned physician Nian Duan.

Located in the heart of the Yan Kingdom, this place is surrounded by peaks like a giant urn, and is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. The only passage into the lake is the One-Line Sky Gorge.

This is an extremely vast lake. Although it is called a lake, it is by no means a stagnant pool. Its waterways are interconnected, nourishing several small islands in the middle of the lake.

A small boat floats on the lake, like a wisp of dust in the vast天地 (heaven and earth).

The two young masters, Black and White, had no choice but to do hard labor, rowing vigorously on both sides of the light boat.

Who made them the lowest-ranking people here?

As they rowed, the two women exchanged a knowing glance.

its not right!

They are also elders of the Yin-Yang School, and are on the same level as Lady Xiang!

How did I end up in such a lowly position, doing manual labor?

The two sisters looked up at the same time, their deep eyes fixed on Madam Xiang.

what?

They're massaging Changxin-jun's shoulders, so it's alright now!

"Ugh……"

The two sisters, who seemed to understand each other perfectly, exchanged a glance and sighed in unison.

At this moment, the two sisters were filled with regret.

Why did I agree to stay by Changxin's side in the first place?

She really is just a maid!

They're not even as good as maids; at least maids don't have the strength and don't have to do this kind of physical labor!

Why did it stop?

The moon goddess's cool gaze fixed on the two girls.

The expressions on the two girls' small, exquisite faces, which were indistinguishable, froze slightly, and they looked at each other again.

Let's keep rowing, what can we do when we're in a lowly position and can't win...

Without saying it aloud, they could easily understand each other's meaning through their shared feelings.

Their heads drooped, like two small dogs that had lost their droopy ears, yet their hands still kept paddling...

"Humph……"

The Moon Goddess hummed softly to herself, but said nothing more.

The Moon Goddess couldn't stand the two women sent by the Eastern Lord to ruin her plans.

If it weren't for some concerns about Changxin-jun's attitude, she definitely wouldn't have let it go so easily.

"As expected of a sacred place for physicians, the spiritual energy of Mirror Lake is almost comparable to that of the Divine Capital Nine Palaces Mountain of my Yin-Yang School, which is of great benefit to martial arts practitioners."

The fog here is not pollution, but a manifestation of the condensation of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

Not to mention martial arts practitioners, even ordinary people who live here year-round can prolong their lives and enjoy good health.

Ying Jing sat in the center of the small boat, enjoying the tender moments of Ehuang and Nüying massaging his shoulders behind him and Yan Lingji massaging his legs in front of him, his eyes filled with tranquility.

"Doctors are supposed to be benevolent, and the medical profession is meant to heal the sick and save lives, but now they choose to withdraw from the world, which is a waste."

The moon goddess was quite aware of this.

“In the past, Bian Que saved countless lives with his medical skills, but he died an unnatural death in the end. As a result, doctors have a rule to stay away from disputes and grudges.”

Ying Jing remained silent.

This matter is actually related to the Qin state and the Luo Wang (a type of security network).

Li Xi, the imperial physician of Qin, was jealous of Bian Que's superb medical skills and asked Luo Wang to assassinate him.

Ying Jing couldn't quite figure out what this person was thinking back then.

Bian Que was already ninety-seven years old at the time. Even if his medical skills were superb, he wouldn't have many years left to live. Why bother... and spend so much money to ask the Luo Wang (a powerful organization) to take action?

"A doctor cannot heal himself. A doctor's medical skills can save the world, but they cannot save themselves. Therefore, most doctors live in seclusion, stay away from disputes, and study medical skills in an in-depth manner."

Ying Jing's eyes narrowed slightly: "I understand the physicians' choices, but now, I can give them more options."

"Doctors can save others but cannot save themselves, so I will be their savior!"

A gentle breeze swept by, causing Ying Jing's hair to flutter lightly.

Looking at the man sitting casually on the boat, disregarding his image yet exuding a vibrant and heroic air, the Moon Goddess felt a slight flutter in her heart.

Suddenly, she seemed to understand why someone as proud as Dongjun would treat Changxinjun differently.

"Here we are."

Ying Jing suddenly spoke.

Ahead lies a small island in the middle of the lake, and upon entering the island is the renowned Jinghu Medical Clinic.

Looking into the distance, one can see a medicinal herb field covered in winter snow, and behind it a small hill shrouded in mist.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

As soon as they arrived on the island, a girl who looked only a year or two older than the Snow Woman appeared and blocked their way.

A white and purple headscarf bound her long black hair, but some long hair still fell down her fair face to her shoulders, giving her a capable yet elegant beauty.

Her simple linen clothes couldn't hide the fresh and refined feeling that her delicate face gave off.

To say she was stunningly beautiful would be an understatement. Not to mention beauties like Yan Lingji and Lady Mingzhu who had already blossomed into mature women, even Xiao Xue Nu was more breathtaking.

However, the combination of the girl's features and facial contours creates a perfectly gentle and comfortable feeling.

"Duanmu Rong?"

Ying Jing pondered to himself without speaking.

But Yan Lingji stepped forward: "We've come to see Master Nian Duan."

"Master?"

Duanmu Rong frowned, a worried look appearing on her fair face: "Are you also here seeking medical help? But Master won't help."

"How about... one of you asks you to let me take a look first?"

After saying that, the little girl, who looked to be only ten years old, patted her chest and said, "My name is Duanmu Rong. I have been studying with my master for six years. Don't worry, I am very good. I am only a little worse than my master."

"Oh?"

"I have heard that doctors are benevolent, so why is it that when patients come to him, Master Nian Duan refuses to help?"

Ying Jing certainly believed that even though she was young, the girl's medical skills were already quite good, but he hadn't come here to seek medical help.

"You... oh dear, come with me!"

Duanmu Rong hesitated but ultimately did not explain, and simply led everyone further inside.

finally……

After passing through the medical village, we arrived at the low hill that could be seen from afar outside the island.

You can clearly see a wooden sign hanging at the foot of the mountain.

The three types of people who will not be rescued.

"We will not treat patients who need to be brought down the mountain for medical treatment."

"Those who come up the mountain seeking medical help will not be treated."

“The one surnamed Duanmu will not be saved.”

As Yan Lingji softly recited the three sentences on the wooden plaque, flames instantly erupted from her entire body.

"If he won't help this person, and he won't help that person, what hope is there for Master Nianduan?"

Ying Jing wasn't angry: "Hmm... In general, Master Duan would take the initiative to go out and treat patients, right?"

"but……"

Ying Jing's expression suddenly became somewhat strange: "Little girl, if I remember correctly, your surname is Duanmu, right? Haven't you been sick all these years?"
