Lao Cao saw Ma Laodao stuff the dirty herbs into his mouth and chewed them a few times, and then spit them out, with foaming at the mouth, he used his long black nails to pick out some of the unchewed ones inside, and then kneaded them into a ball, and then handed them to Lao Cao and said, "Come, you can also take a bite."

Lao Cao was dumbfounded, and he didn't want to eat this thing if he was killed.
"I'm not sick, I don't need to take medicine."
Lao Dao rolled his eyes and looked at him, and said, "My eyes are not good, but my ears are very durable...... I hear you panting and it seems that something is wrong, and you probably have typhoid fever too......"
Lao Cao: "......"
"Just blow it, I'm panting because I'm carrying people all the way up, and you're not easy to find here. What are you talking about, my body is fine---" beat Lao Cao to death and didn't want to believe this, let alone take that damn pill.
Lao Dao showed a sly smile on his face and said: "Since this is the case, I don't force it, if you don't eat it, you won't eat, don't blame me if you faint." β
"Pull it down, you can cure my friend first." Lao Cao didn't believe his nonsense at all.

Lin Yi's head was hot, and after Ma Laodao punctured his silver acupuncture point, he was a little sober, and after taking the bitter pill, it was impossible not to be sober. It's just that his eyelids are heavy, and he wants to open them but can't, and at this time he remembers the aura in his body, and he doesn't know if he can help himself.
As soon as he thought of it, Lin Yi exhaled the aura from the wing of his nose, lingering around his head and constantly caressing back and forth. Suddenly, Lin Yi felt like he had ice cubes on his head, cool and shaded, and very comfortable.
I don't know how long it took, but I heard a song in my ears---
"Secret teaching, fooling around, setting up a banner on the mountain of small performing arts. First hit Nanzhao and Lushan, and then hit Fangcheng and Shiqiao. Later, Xie Laodao, Xie Laodao, with an arrogant temper, took a battalion of soldiers, pulled the car and ran, surrounded the performing arts mountain, caught the secret sect, and pulled it to Nanhe to hand over the artillery. β
Lin Yi opened his eyes, only to see the pine oil lamp swaying on his head, and a blind old man sitting beside him, looking at a shabby thread-bound book, muttering these words in his mouth.
Not far away, Lao Cao was curled up in the corner of the wall, with a harath flowing from the corner of his mouth, sleeping soundly, and scratching his nostrils from time to time.
Looking around, the old walls, bricks, and rafters look like temples and --- like temples.
Just as Lin Yi was looking around, a voice said, "What's the matter, are you awake, are you better?" β
Lin Yi knew that this was the witch doctor from the mountain village who had saved him--- although he was sick, he still remembered some things.
He hurriedly said: "It's much better, the old gentleman's acupuncture is really good." β
Lao Dao shook his head and said: "It's not my acupuncture magic, it's your own luck, I look at you, it seems that you have driven the cold out, which is rare." β
Lin Yi nodded and said yes, but he didn't say anything about his use of aura.
The old man rolled his eyes and said, "Anyway, you're awake, and I guess you won't be able to sleep for a while, how about we chat?" β
Lin Yi nodded, then curiously glanced at the old book in the blind old man's hand, and asked, "What book did you read just now?" β
Ma Laodao smiled slightly and said, "Book of Heaven!" β
Lin Yi thought he was joking, so he said, "Since it's a book from heaven, can you let me see it." β
Lao Dao said: "If you want to see it, let me ask you first, have you heard of the song I read just now?" β
Lin Yi said: "I have seen that ballad in some miscellaneous books, it seems to be the story of the secret religious uprising in the Nanzhao area in the late Qing Dynasty. β
Lao Dao nodded and said, "You're right, then do you know the ins and outs of this story?" β
Lin Yi shook his head, "I don't know." β
Lao Dao smiled and said, "It's right if you don't know, then there is a topic, I'll tell you." β
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the people were not happy, there was a farmer named Ma Guofang surnamed Ma, who had read a few years of books and knew a few words, so he felt that the world was going to change, so he gathered a few like-minded companions, gathered at night, and began to return to fight bullies.
Later, this person gathered more and more, and Ma Guofang looked at it, hey, yes, maybe there can be a big thing, so he established a "secret sect" and officially started the activity of raising the flag to rebel.
In order to cheer up his sect, Ma Guofang didn't know where to find two treasures, one was an ancient mirror and the other was a book from heaven.
Let's talk about the ancient mirror first, and say that from this ancient mirror, you can show your original appearance. Ma Guofang propagandized that now we are poor, and we are all forced by the government, if you don't believe it, you can try it out yourself. Legend has it that a man looks in the mirror, and the shadow appears in an image wearing a python robe and a mending gown, and a woman looks in the mirror, revealing a shadow wearing a phoenix crown and a silk veil on his head. As soon as the word spread ten, ten spread to hundreds, the masses joined his organization one after another, trying to change the current poor situation. Everyone swore that they would keep it a secret and be willing to rebel with him.
Besides, the book of heaven, it is said that Ma Guofang will treat people if they get it, and if anyone has a big or small illness, he will give him a few injections, or take a pill and feed it, and that person's illness will be cured immediately. Even during the rebellion, his companion was injured, and Ma Guofang only needed to use the spell on the book of heaven to make the patient get rid of the disease, which can be said to be very magical.
Hearing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Shouldn't that book of heaven be this one?" β
Lao Dao smiled and said after a while, "You let me finish the story first." β
Lin Yi quieted down and listened to the old Tao and continued to talk nonsense.
Later, the number of Ma Guofang's secret sects increased and the ranks became larger and larger, so they prepared to attack the county seat and seize power. For this they bought knives and spears, earthen guns and earthen cannons. In order to boost morale, strengthen the courage, set up an altar to practice the law, learn mantras, and claim that if necessary, you can fly on the bench, and the loess on your head can hide. Everything is ready, and it is almost time to start the day.
When the Qing government heard about this, it searched for the rebellious party and went up the mountain to suppress the bandits. It's a pity that the Qing soldiers were too poor and suffered defeat. In the end, I had to ask Xie Laodao, who specializes in fighting, to come out and suppress bandits.
This Xie Laodao was a monk when he was young and served as the host of the temple, so most people call him "Xie Laodao", this is a ruthless master, cutting people's heads is like shaving their heads, so there is also a nickname called "Xie Shaved Head".
Xie Laodao is very good at fighting, and directly led people to surround Xiaoyi Mountain, first bombarded with artillery, then attacked with fire, and then launched a general attack. Seeing that the situation was critical, the disciples on the mountain recited incantations and rode on benches, but they were all gone, and they scattered and fled. In the end, most of the people were jumped off the cliff, and some of them were captured alive and brought back to the county seat, pulled to the South River Beach and shot, and finally cut off their heads, and hung them from the east city gate to the north city gate, hanging many of them row by row, and passers-by were shocked when they saw it.
Hearing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but be curious: "What about the leading Ma Guofang, where did he go?" Did you get caught? β
Ma Laodao smiled and said, "General Ma commanded in Xiaoyi Mountain for three days, and his whereabouts are unknown. Some people say that they were caught, and some say that they escaped incognito, and some say that they rode a bench and flew into the sky...... But the real situation is that he lost the ancient mirror, but took the book of heaven and ran to a mountain col and hid it. Then he relied on the knowledge in the Book of Heaven to become a famous local witch doctor, and passed it on from generation to generation......"
Lin Yi is not stupid, he understood when he heard this, and blurted out: "Could it be that your old man is the descendant of Ma Guofang?" β
Ma Laodao nodded and said: "You finally guessed correctly, that Ma Guofang is my grandfather, our family has been in this mountain for three generations, and we have never gone out, and now I am blind, and it is impossible to see the outside world......" After speaking, he sighed, looking very desolate and lonely.
Of course, Lin Yi understood his mood, so he found a topic to comfort him, and then as if he remembered something, he asked, "Is that heavenly book really that magical, can you let me take a look?" β
As a collector of used books, Lin Yi's mind is full of such questions.
Book from the sky? I've heard too much of this word, and the deepest memory is the cartoon "Strange Tales from the Book of Heaven" that I watched when I was a child, in which the "Dansheng" and the "old witch" learned the spells in the "Book of Heaven" and became extremely powerful. As for what the book of heaven is like, what immediately comes to everyone's mind is to call for wind and rain, scatter beans into soldiers, drain rivers and seas, and turn things upside down.
The old man didn't hide it, so he said, "If you want to read it, then I'll show it to you, this book, I used to read it when I was young, but now my eyes are not good, and I can't see it." As he spoke, he handed the worn-out thread-bound book to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi took it excitedly, and finally got a glimpse of the true face of the "Book of Heaven", and he found that even his hands were trembling.
This thread-bound book is wrapped in two volumes of thick brown paper, which shows the collector's love for it.
Lin Yi turned the first page, but saw that the cover was cut off, and then the title page was also cut, and it was obvious that someone didn't want people to know the name of the book.
Lin Yi was patient, continued to look through, and looked, hey, it is still an engraved book, and it is a fine carved book, and then look inside, there are many woodcut prints, the printmaking characters are simple and cute, very Ming version of the style of the book, the more prints you go to the back, but most of them are human meridian line atlases, as well as the techniques and skills of puncturing acupoints with silver needles, and then there are some pediatrics, gynecology, and specific acupuncture methods and songs for typhoid fever......
Seeing this, Lin Yi was already a little suspicious, this so-called "Book of Heaven" wouldn't be that---
As if to verify Lin Yi's thoughts, when Lin Yi flipped to the end of the book, he saw the last line of words: ζ°ιε€ͺι«ι’θ¨εΎι ιΌmoxibustion Daquan six volumes and one volume.
Damn, the ghost's "Book of Heaven" turned out to be just a Ming version of "Acupuncture and Moxibustion"! (To be continued.) )
