Next Chapter

Lijiazhai is an ordinary small village, located in the southwest corner of Ezhou Province Shennongjia mountain edge, usually rarely patronized by outsiders, at noon in early July, Li Dong as in previous years just a few days after the summer vacation to accompany his grandparents, but also for the provincial capital Xiakou City to work and can not often come back to visit the two old parents to do their filial piety.

At this time, there was a group of half-grown children sitting together with bowls and rows of dishes and eating lunch under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, and when they saw Li Dong, they immediately cheered, and immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks, and ran towards him while shouting to Brother Xiaodong.

Although Li Dong is not good-looking, he is the pride of the village, because he is the first and only child in the village who has been admitted to a national key university since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The children happily hugged him home, asking him this and that along the way, and also telling him about the recent events in the village, most of the things told by the children were the little bigger life trivialities in the neighborhood, which Li Dong didn't care, and only one thing caused him to sigh, that is, a dilapidated Taoist temple on the mountain behind the village finally collapsed yesterday afternoon.

According to the old people in the village, the Taoist temple exists for three or four hundred years, although the Taoist temple is small, but the "Bodhisattva" and "Tianzun" enshrined in the temple also have a request to respond quite effectively, the reputation spreads, attracting countless good men and women in this county and the surrounding counties to come to worship and worship, the incense was once very prosperous, and the scenery is infinite.

It's a pity that in that special period of history because of the "four old" and misery, although the Taoist temple was not demolished, but the "Bodhisattva", "Tianzun" and "magic weapon" in the temple were all destroyed, no one cares about it again, let it hang alone on the top of the mountain to fend for itself, I didn't expect its vitality to be very tenacious, the sun and rain, the wind and the wind and ice under the ice actually insisted on dozens of years before falling.

Li Dong has a historical and traditional complex, which is why he chose to major in Chinese medicine despite the persuasion of his family, perhaps in his heart he has long regarded Taoism as a living existence, every time he returns to his hometown, he will go up the mountain to visit it, and even talk to himself to it, telling his heart.

The collapse of the Taoist temple made Li Dong feel as if he had suddenly lost an old friend, he had seen his grandparents, and after lunch, he went up the mountain alone, and he wanted to say his final goodbye to his "old friend".

Standing in front of a large number of old green bricks and green tiles, Li Dong said a lot of sighing and farewell words, and then bowed, just when he bent down to ninety degrees, a touch of blue light came into his eyes, looked up and found that the blue light was shot out of the pile of bricks and tiles, and walked over to rummage through curiosity, and found a box-like object in a broken blue brick interlayer.

This thing is about 30 centimeters long, about 20 centimeters wide, about one and a half inches high, the whole body is bright green and carved with landscape patterns, the touch feels warm and delicate, Li Dong was stunned for a moment and exclaimed: "This can't be jadeite, right?!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Dong's heart was suddenly startled, and he quickly stuffed the "jade box" into his clothes and hid it, then lowered his head slightly and looked behind him, and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that there was no one, and then quickly went down the mountain, and as soon as he got home, he went straight into his room and closed the door and locked it.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Li Dong took out the "jade box" from his arms, intending to take a good look, and suddenly thought about whether there were other things in the ruins of the Taoist temple, in line with the idea of "I'd rather miss it, don't let it go", he immediately hid the "jade box", and then went out to go up the mountain again.

After rummaging through the ruins of the Taoist temple to no avail, Li Dong laughed at himself in his heart: Am I too greedy, if it is really jade, shouldn't I be content with such a large piece?

Returning home, Li Dong took out the "jade box" and looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the material of this "jade box" was the best in the jade - special jade, and he couldn't bear the excitement He looked at the pattern on it, only to find that in addition to the landscape, there was also a Taoist priest who raised his head and pointed at a dragon in the air, and the carving was exquisite and delicate.

A dragon's expression was extremely realistic, the Taoist priest's expression was serious and full of confidence, the dragon taunted and showed anger with his teeth and claws, perhaps he was infected by the fearless momentum shown by the Taoist priest when facing the dragon in the sky, Li Dong's blood suddenly boiled, and he couldn't help but reach out to touch the Taoist priest.

Suddenly, a tingling pain came from his fingertips to his brain, and he reflexively withdrew his fingers in pain, and stared at the long sword in the hand of the Taoist priest who pierced his fingers.

Li Dong sucked his injured finger while using his other hand to erase the blood droplets that fell onto the jadeite, but he was surprised to find that the blood droplets were slowly sucked dry by the long sword in the Taoist priest's hand, and the long sword gradually turned red.

This is not over, the red extends to his body through the Taoist priest's hand, and the body gradually turns red, and the red on the long sword also slowly fades, when the color of the Taoist priest's body and the long sword becomes the same pink, the jade bursts out of a cloud of green light accompanied by a "click" crisp sound.

Qingmang burst out, Li Dong's eyes were pierced and closed quickly, he didn't notice at all, there were two points of light in Qingmang, one gold and one black, came out of the Taoist priest and Jiaolong respectively, until his seal disappeared, no pain, no sound, and no discomfort to his body, Li Dong didn't know that there was a "foreign body" intruding into his body.

After closing his eyes for more than ten seconds, Li Dong dared to slowly open his eyes and look at the jade, and found that it was opened in the center, and there was another space and something lying inside.

Surprised, Li Dong took out the "Taiqing Halal Sutra", thin and light as nothing, the texture seems to be woven from silk, the length and width are only one circle smaller than the jade box space, look at about 30 pages, from the back of the first page there are words and graphics, the graphics have marked meridians and acupuncture points of the human body, there are also incomprehensible, like words and non-word patterns.

Driven by strong curiosity, Li Dong first looked at the fly-headed words that he could understand, but found that these words and sentences were extremely difficult to read, and it took a lot of effort to understand each sentence thoroughly, which was still his preference for Chinese medicine, and he had read a lot of ancient medical books in his spare time.

Alas, it's so much of a headache that it has to be translated in plain language. Li Dong thought about it and immediately put it into action, and from this night onwards, he searched and analyzed the meaning of every word in the "Taiqing Sutra" through his mobile phone, and finally found out the true solution of these words from a large number of explanations on the Internet three days later.
