Chapter 62: The Great Plague

When Yunhua was accompanying the Queen Mother to enjoy the rare "maternal love" in the palace, Lichen was already sweating profusely. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the third year of Zhengde, the epidemic in Guizhou, the deceased was twelve or thirteen, the white flags covered the sun, and the crying of every family shook the sky. The whole city was full of mourning and desolation. And the crowd fled in panic. There is a high probability that the plague will spread in all directions.

Even Wang Shouren was sick, I don't know if it was qi disease or infection. The dragon farm is remote, except for the occasional passing bell doctor, there are no doctors nearby. When the surrounding Miao people were sick, they went to the witch doctor in the village more often than to the doctor. But if you ask Wang Shouren to find a witch doctor, it is better to find a ready-made dust immortal master. That's a recognized immortal figure. So the apprentices who were supposed to be still studying in Longchang Academy were accompanied by several post station officials and carried Wang Shouren into the Xuanguang Temple.

Taoist "five arts": mountain, medicine, life, physiognomy, divination. Mountain art is the hardest. Medicine, life, physiognomy, and divination are all necessary to help the world, achieve 3,000 meritorious deeds, and even preach and propagate the Dharma. Lichen just meowed rudely at Wang Shouren, who was unconscious. He summoned all the disciples and asked them to diagnose them one by one. Then write it on a blank piece of paper. The dust is seen one by one. After reading it. He sighed leisurely. Hope no more. The time is too short, and it is not easy to learn it.

Since the medical skills cannot be counted on, they can only rely on the mountain technique. Fu water is also a kind of mountain art. Lichen took out a piece of talisman paper and said: "In the past, I was a Taoist immortal master, and I used talisman water to save countless people in the world, and I have a great Taoist religion today." Miasma in the mortal world, the invasion of evil qi, the disharmony of yin and yang, and the lack of righteousness can be treated with Fu Shui. But other than that, it is not permissible to treat diseases indiscriminately with water. Otherwise, the treatment of the patient will be delayed, and it will be in vain. After speaking, the dust rune paper shook, and the rune paper really spontaneously combusted without wind. Lichen took a bowl of water out of thin air and put the rune paper into the water.

"The magic of the law will not leave the spirit of the gods, and when the spirit of the spirit lives, the gods will live, and thousands of monsters will turn into dust." After reciting the incantation, he poured the concocted talisman water into Wang Shouren. It's only half a moment. Wang Shouren suddenly had a sharp cough, but the person woke up slowly, squinted at the dust and said, "Why am I here?" “

"It was your men and my disciples who brought you to me. If you don't come again, it's really dangerous. Maybe if Poor Dao wants to see you again, he will go to Yin Si to summon spirits. "It's a joke. touched Wang Shouren's forehead with his hand, and then cut the pulse before saying, "It's finally done." I don't know when Lord Wang actually made him depressed, so that he felt internal and external, and evil qi entered his body. The whole person is unconscious? ”

"Hey~~ Today, I know how to read sage books, but I may not be able to be a good official and a good person!" Wang Shouren said with a long sigh. It turned out that there was a sudden plague in the city of Guizhou, and there were two or three out of ten dead, almost every family wore filial piety, and the white flag covered the sky and the sun. But the local government not only did not control it, but was taken by the power of the plague, and it was far away from the borderland, so it was not very willing to be the official of this poor place in this land where Han and Miao were mixed. Therefore, there are many officials who have abandoned their positions and fled at a critical moment. With officials as role models, rich and poor fled the city. The local officers and soldiers could not stop it. In this way, will not the plague be amplified and harmed endlessly? Wang Shouren is the official of Yixiao Station. Undertake the correspondence of official documents and the reception of officials. Seeing the ugliness of the officials, let the people who have always thought that the scholars are familiar with the books of the sages, and when they know right and wrong, how Wang Shouren will not be hit by the shame, so that he is depressed. Fell ill for a while.

"Hehe, does the book of sages have anything to do with character?" Lichen said with a smile. disdainful of Wang Shouren's pride as a scholar. Throughout the ages, ************** and negative minds have always been readers. Although this is not necessarily the case, it at least shows that reading really has nothing to do with character.

"Hey~~~" Wang Shouren let out a long sigh and stopped continuing this inexplicable topic: "Dust Immortal Master, since I am a Ming Protector Immortal Master, and the Tao is mysterious, why don't you open the door to the world and go down the mountain to get rid of the plague for the people of Guizhou?" It's also a 3,000 meritorious deed! ”

Lichen clapped his hands and laughed: "Poor Dao has this intention. I have twenty apprentices here, and half of your students are counted. I don't know if Lord Wang can take him down the mountain, spread the charm water, and save the people. ”

"Uh" Wang Shouren was stunned, why did your apprentice go down the mountain to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and you want me to take him down the mountain? But he also knew that the dust cultivation was profound, and he realized that the way of heaven was not something that ordinary people could guess. I just thought that there was something unavoidable for the dust. It may be regarded as sharing the worries of the court and benefiting the people.

"Well, tomorrow you can take my apprentice down the mountain. Everything will be left to you in the future. You have a good rest, although you are cured, you must be quiet for a while. After finishing speaking, he made a joke and withdrew from the door with all the apprentices.

On the Sanqing Hall of Xuanguang Temple, all the apprentices sat on the futon and began to listen to their teacher's lectures. Lichen said with a straight face: "I am a disciple of Xuanmen, and I save myself and others." Kindness is essential, sincerity is the foundation. Heaven has no relatives, and he is always with good people. If it is not prosperous, the ancestors will have residual suffering, and they will return to prosperity; If you do evil, you will perish, if you don't perish, your ancestors will have more virtue, and you will be destroyed. The disciples of the Taoist sect practice the three clear and wonderful methods, and if they want to achieve positive results, they should make 3,000 merits in the world. Tomorrow you will go down the mountain to save the people, be sincere and upright, do not be greedy for food, do not want money, do not love beauty, and do not climb power. Get acquainted with the world and promote the Dharma in the world. If there is a contradiction. When there is nothing to hide under the road of tomorrow, the poor road should clean up the door. In the last few sentences, Lichen said his words word by word with the method of heart-stirring, and the disciples below listened to it like thunder in their ears. You can't remember it if you don't want to.

"The disciples should remember themselves. Don't dare to disobey" The disciples immediately bowed down. Lichen nodded and said, "I have a wish that you can cure your heart." There is a charm water that can cure the lungs. Wait for you to go down the mountain to spread the Dharma and help the world. Be the virtue of the healer, the way of the Taoist. After speaking, he took out a stack of talismans and a book and said: "These talismans are talismans for dispelling illness talismans, you practice this talisman overnight today, and I have my own third senior sister who can supervise Yu Er and others." Those who are not allowed to learn tomorrow are not allowed to go down the mountain. In the mountains, the scriptures are chanted thousands of times, and there are hundreds of calligraphy and painting talismans. Take care of it yourself. The art of wishing is easy to learn and difficult to master. You have to memorize yourselves, and when you go down the mountain, slowly figure it out! After finishing speaking, he waved his right hand. The disciples in the hall were given a talisman one after another. I wish you a book of secret arts. After finishing, Lichen rang the bell. All the disciples thanked each other and left their seats without mentioning it.

The next day, Lichen sent Wang Shouren and 20 Xuanguangguan "pandas" down the mountain. A man returned to the inner room and began to calculate, began to calculate the source of the plague, and the cause and effect of the world. Heaven is unpredictable, and cause and effect are inseparable. Rao is the dust Dao method, and it has been counted from morning to midnight. It wasn't until Yun Lingzi outside the door couldn't help but come in to observe one or two before there would be a result.

"Hey! Looks like it's going down again. You can't be clean all day long, what a deal! Lichen let out a long sigh. He turned around and said, "As a teacher, he may go far away." You're going to guard the door, you know? “
