"Open up the path of medicine and teach the world!"

Su Li smiled and said,"The reason why people are sick and have no doctors is because there are too few doctors. If all the doctors in the world gather, who doesn't have a doctor?”

Sun Simiao smiled and said,""Little friend, you think too simply."

Sun Simiao sighed and said,""This old man has been studying medicine for eighty years. My medical skills are not bad, but I can only be on par with you. How many people in the world are as talented as you?”

Su Li was stunned for a moment before shaking his head.

The hospital was just a concept for his future, not something that needed to appear at the moment, so Su Li did not get too tangled up in it.

As he quietly helped Sun Simiao deal with the patient, the surrounding Taoist priests were also watching in excitement.

After all, the majority of them had never seen Su Li before, but they had long since heard of this young prince consort whose medical skills were rumored to be on par with Sun Simiao's.

Su Li quietly handled the patients with Sun Simiao until dusk.

Only then did Sun Simiao pack up his things and prepare to return to his room. Before he left, he turned around and said,"Fellow Daoists, I've troubled you to wait here for a long time. It's just that this old man's path is not your path, and this old man is not a person who preaches Dao. Fellow Daoists, please return.”

There was an uproar in the crowd.

They had gathered here in hopes of gaining some pointers from Sun Simiao.

However, Sun Simiao's attitude was firm, so they could only turn around and leave.

The crowd gradually dispersed. In the end, a young Taoist priest suddenly turned his head and shouted.

"May I ask Senior, what is Dao?"

Sun Simiao paused for a moment before shaking his head.

"This old man doesn't know what Dao is."

The young Taoist priest's face revealed a trace of dispiritedness and disappointment.

In his opinion, a senior like Sun Simiao naturally knew what Dao was. He was just unwilling to answer him.

Sun Simiao didn't turn around. He just pointed at the muddy and bumpy road.

"This old man has been on the move all my life, never stopping for even a moment. My footprints have covered the entire Great Tang, and today, this old man is still on the move.”

Sun Simiao shook his head and smiled.

"This is my Dao!"

The young Taoist priest's face revealed a trace of contemplation. He seemed to have understood something, but there seemed to be something he didn't understand.

Su Li, who was listening by the side, also felt a headache.

Sun Simiao's status was too high. This person seemed to be running around the village, treating the sick and saving people. He was kind and approachable, but Sun Simiao was still too immortal.

It seemed very difficult to find the aura of a mortal in him. Su Li truly had no confidence in persuading Sun Simiao.

After entering the thatched hut, there was only a simple wooden bed and a low table.

A few tattered futons were the seats.

"Please sit."

Sun Simiao cupped his hands in greeting, and Su Li returned the greeting. Only after Sun Simiao had taken his seat did he follow suit.

"Little friend, why are you looking for me?"

Sun Simiao looked at Su Li. This person was too intelligent. He seemed to be able to tell at a glance that Su Li had a favor to ask of him.

"What do you think of Buddhism?" Su Li probed.

"This old man doesn't understand the scriptures, so I don't dare to say for sure.”Sun Simiao's words were flawless.

"Don't you think it's time for all the Daoists to unite?”

A strange light flashed through Sun Simiao's eyes. He looked at Su Li and said,"Daoists pay attention to pure cultivation. If they join forces and all of them are as prosperous as temples, why should they pay attention to cultivation?”

"With a clear heart, where is there not a pure cultivation? Everyone can follow the Tao, why should the Taoist priest be alone?”

Sun Simiao smiled and said,"You can tell me what you want me to do." This old man will consider it."

Su Li smiled and said," I would like to invite Priest Sun to come forward and invite all the Daoists in the world to jointly compile the Daoist classics and organize the names of the Daoist Patriarchs. In this way, everyone who follows the Dao in the world can enter the Dao.”

Sun Simiao was stunned for a moment before saying,"What good does this do to the Fuma?"”

"If I ask Taoist priest, His Majesty has decreed that all Taoist priests are no longer exempted from corvee and land tax, what does Taoist priest think?”

Sun Simiao thought for a moment and said," It's fine. Daoists emphasize self-reliance and focus on the Dao. It doesn't matter if we abolish these.”

Su Li smiled and said," This is a matter that benefits the country. Whether it's Buddhism or Taoism, they are all citizens of the Great Tang. How can they not treat everyone equally? If those who enter the Tao do not follow the Tao, but are exempted from taxes, what can the Taoist priest do?”

"Chase him out!"

Su Li nodded and said," That's right. I didn't intend to support Taoism. Abolishing tax exemption and corvee is a matter of course. Buddhism and Taoism should be treated equally. However, the loss of Taoist classics was quite serious. If he used the name of Taoist priest to invite the world to organize Taoist classics so that future generations could read them, it would be a great deed!”

"And why can't you record all the medical skills you've learned in your life? In this way, doctors and Taoists can be taught, how can there be lost etiquette?”

Sun Simiao's expression changed slightly.

This time, he was tempted!
