After Ming Chongyan learned the Tao of the guard, he did not dare to slack off, studied and practiced hard every day, and his Taoist skills became more and more sophisticated. In addition, he studied physiognomy from Tu Xiangshi and Yu from Doctor Yu to learn medical skills, as if he had become a knowledgeable and talented man.

In Anxi County, the people are rich and peaceful, and there are many wealthy people. There is a rich man and a director, who opened a liquor store near the county office, and his business is prosperous every day, and he is making money every day.

The director has a wife and three concubines, a son and a daughter, a group of slaves and maids, and the family lives happily. But lately, he has often had nightmares, and he has encountered some unpleasant things in his life, and he often frowns.

His parents died young, and his father, Dong Dalang, died of illness when he was a teenager, and his family was poor and buried on a grave hill in the village. His mother, Mrs. Han, died after he went to the city to do business, and she was buried in a cemetery on the outskirts of the city after a year of happiness.

Tu Xiangshi, who watched the appearance on the street, often came to his wine shop to drink and eat, so he told Tu Xiangshi about his troubles, and asked Tu Xiangshi to interpret the dream, analyze the reasons and solve the problem.

Tu Xiangshi asked him what he dreamed of, and he replied: "I dreamed that adults were crying in the wind in the wilderness in their torn clothes, and there was no one else around, and they were very lonely!" ”

Tu Xiangshi said: "Ling Zun is lonely and miserable, buried on the barren mountain, and the cool spirit swims in the four fields, which is not good for your business!" "The director is anxious to ask for a solution.

Tu Xiangshi said: "Just move your parents to a place with good feng shui!" Dong Yuanwai said: "Then there will be a painter, and you will be rewarded after you choose it!" ”

Tu Xiangshi came to the suburbs of Anxi County to inspect the treasure land of feng shui, and walked all the way to Qijia Mountain. I saw that this mountain is undulating, like a dragon frame, and there is a flat and open land behind the mountain, which can be illuminated by the sun.

Tu Xiangshi circled around this place, and walked along Qijia Mountain again, and felt that the feng shui of this place was very good, so he went back to the county and said to Dong Yuanwai: "A tomb mountain five miles away from the suburbs has good feng shui, and you can move there for burial." ”。

When Dong Yuanwai heard that it was a place of treasure, he was overjoyed, gave him a lot of remuneration, and asked him to choose an auspicious day.

On the auspicious day of the zodiac, Dong Yuanwai hired several migrant workers to take out his parents' coffins and transport them to Qijia Mountain by board truck. The board car traveled to the suburbs, and Ming Chongyan happened to return to the city from the suburbs, and the two sides passed by.

Ming Chongyan, who had attained enlightenment, saw dirty things that ordinary people couldn't see, and followed behind the cart. When the migrant workers sat on the ground to rest, Ming Chongyan asked, "Is your family master and monarch burying the two relatives together?" "Yes!" The migrant worker replied.

Ming Chongyan said: "When you excavated the coffin, did you dig other people's graves by mistake? The migrant worker was taken aback, thought about it, and said, "No! ”

Ming Chongyan said: "I just followed the hearse and saw a lady on it, about fifty years old, gorgeously dressed, a rich housewife!" But behind her was a ghost, in the prime of life, dressed in tattered cloth and with thinning hair. The ghost jumped after the lady and was overjoyed, and the lady said angrily with tears in her eyes: "Foolish son, why do you want me to be buried with the poor ghost?" Report my words to the Lord, lest you delay the great event. ”

The migrant worker hurriedly ran forward, caught up with the Dong Yuan who was walking in front, and reported Ming Chongyan's words to him. The director was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly walked back to see Ming Chongyan.

Dong Yuanwai said: "I lost my father at a young age, moved the burial yesterday, went to the countryside to dig the old tomb, I don't know that I dug the wrong tomb, I almost made a big mistake, fortunately I met my son, otherwise I would regret it!" There is Lao Gongzi walking with me and digging the grave in the countryside together! Dong is grateful! ”

Ming Chongyan promised, so the two led migrant workers to go to the countryside. When he came to the excavation site, Ming Chongyan asked the migrant workers to dig the west side of the tomb, dug out an epitaph, and found Dong Dalang's coffin according to the above records.

The migrant workers took control of Dong Dalang's coffin and buried the wrongly dug bones in the earth pit. Dong Yuanwai and Ming Chongyan led the migrant workers to pull a cart to transport the coffins of their parents to the joint burial place and choose the right place for burial!

Afterwards, the director invited Ming Chongyan to the wine shop to drink, to express his gratitude, and learned that he was the son of the Ming County Order, and he looked like a talent, so he intended to marry the little girl to him.

Dong Yuanwai said: "I have known Ling Zun for a long time, and we are old friends. Ming Gongzi, the old man has a daughter under his knees, named Dong Xiaoqian, born with a beautiful appearance and moon appearance, still waiting to be in the boudoir, and the age is similar to that of Ming Gongzi. The old man intends to marry the little girl to Ming Gongzi, I don't know what the son wants? ”

Ming Chongyan drank a glass of osmanthus wine and said with a smile: "The male should get married, and the female should marry, since it is the gentleman who carries love, how dare you disobey in your later life?" When the father of the late birth is revealed, a matchmaker will be sent to the door to propose marriage! ”

The directors were overjoyed, and even Jingming Chongyan three glasses of wine on the spot.

Ming Chongyan went back to tell his father Ming Ke, who knew the family situation outside the board and readily agreed to propose. So the matchmaker went through the procedure according to the six rites of Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Nazheng, inviting dates, and welcoming in person.

On the day of the wedding, the matchmaker led the wedding team to the bride's house, while the groom Ming Chongyan was waiting at home. When the procession passes through the city gates, the gatekeepers carry out routine inspections.

Dong Xiaoqian got down from the sedan chair, holding a white porcelain bottle containing grains in her hand, and was ready to put it in the rice cabinet after arriving at the man's house. The gatekeepers saw that Dong Xiaoqian was dressed extraordinarily, and the welcoming team beat gongs and drums more grandly, and thought that it was a rich family, so they came up to ask for money.

There was a doorman who had a very loud voice, and the money had not yet reached him, and he was very anxious, so he leaned into the bride's ear and cried out, "Give the money quickly!" Dong Xiaoqian was startled, and then became in a trance, a little lost in her soul.

The matchmaker took the white porcelain bottle, helped the bride to the sedan chair, gave the doorman money, said a few words to him, and then led the team into the city. When he came to Ming's house, the matchmaker reported the incident to Ming Chongyan and put the white porcelain bottle in the rice cabinet.

Ming Chongyan immediately burned a talisman in the water and gave it to Dong Xiaoqian. Dong Xiaoqian's soul calmed down a little after drinking the talisman water, opened her apricot eyes and said: "The concubine has three souls, the fetal light has been withdrawn, the cool spirit is lost outside the city gate, and the ghost spirit is lost in the white porcelain bottle, and you need to summon the soul in two places!" ”

Ming Chongyan came to the city gate, and the gatekeepers learned that they had frightened Ming Gongzi's bride, and they apologized and begged for mercy. Ming Chongyan did not blame them, but climbed the city gate tower and stood on the top of the building and shouted nine Dong Xiaoqian.

After going back, Dong Xiaoqian's spirit was much better, but she was still weak, and said: "The concubine's cool spirit has returned, and there is still a soul that has been locked up by the rice cabinet and can't come out!" Ming Chongyan opened the rice cabinet, and Dong Xiaoqian's illness was cured immediately.

After marriage, Ming Chongyan and Dong Xiaoqian's husband and wife listened to it, and they lived a happy and happy life. The following year, a fat boy was born, named Mingqi, healthy and intelligent.

But Dong Xiaoqian's younger brother Dong Ping is a little naughty. One day, he and his brother-in-law went out on a trip and came to Triangle Mountain, where he was bloated and saw a skeleton on the side of the mountain road, and walked over to urinate.

He also asked the skeleton, "Is it good?" Who knew that the skeleton suddenly opened his mouth and said, "It's delicious!" Dong Ping was taken aback, turned around and ran. The skeleton rolled in chase, hot on the wheel.

Dong Ping shouted to Ming Chongyan, who was climbing the mountain: "Brother-in-law save me, brother-in-law save me!" Ming Chongyan looked back, took out the peach wood spirit talisman, and shouted: "Wow, monster, where to go?" Eat me! ”

Throws a peachwood talisman at the skeleton. The skeleton stopped its pursuit and rolled back to its original place. Dong Ping lay on his brother-in-law and gasped, unable to give up. When Ming Chongyan touched his crotch, it was all wet, so he had to help him go home.

After returning home, Dong Ping was bedridden. Ming Chongyan drew yellow talismans with his hands, pasted them on his Baihui acupoints, Shenque acupoints and Guan Yuan acupoints, and sat behind him, clicking on his big vertebral acupoints, thoracic vertebra acupoints and Mingmen acupoints to inject yang energy.

After a long time, Dong Ping gradually recovered his vitality and never looked at it again!

In the spring of the first year of Qianfeng, the 20-year-old young talent Ming Chongyan should be crowned Yueju and appointed as the Cheng of Huang'an County, Shizhou.

Ming Chongyan traveled thousands of miles, crossed the mountains, and came to Huang'an County in Shudi to take up a job. After serving as the county governor for a few days, I heard that Zheng Juxiang, the wife of the county commander Liu Jing, had a strange illness, and visited the local doctors, but they couldn't cure her illness.

Ming Chongyan went to the county magistrate's house to visit Mrs. Zheng, diagnosed and treated her pulse, and then said to Liu Jing: "If you want to cure Mrs. Zheng's illness, you need to get raw dragon liver as a medicine, and you will definitely be cured after taking it!" ”

Liu Jing asked in surprise: "What is raw dragon liver?" Where can I find it? Ming Chongyan replied: "You don't have to worry about this, just leave it to the lowly position!" ”

Liu Jing said: "If Mingjun can cure my wife's illness, I will be grateful!" ”

Ming Chong drew a talisman, shaped like a red dragon, walked outside the courtyard, rode the wind and released the talisman to the sky, and everyone looked up curiously. Ming Chongyan thought to make a mantra and drive the elves.

After a while, a small dragon fell from the sky and fell into the water urn in the courtyard. Ming Chongyan fished out the little dragon, took out the raw dragon liver and put it in the medicinal soup for Zheng Juxiang to take, Zheng Juxiang's illness was really cured!

Zheng Juxiang was very happy and pulled Liu Jing to worship Xie Ming Chongyan's life-saving grace. Since then, Ming Chongyan has become famous in Huang'an County, and people will think of Ming Chongyan if they have any incurable diseases.

At that time, Wu Weiliang, the assassin of Shizhou, was summoned to gather at the foot of Mount Tai to participate in the ceremony of sealing Zen, and his daughter Wu Lirong was seriously ill and recuperated at home, and the treatment of many famous doctors in Shizhou was ineffective.

Zheng Juxiang happened to be Wu Lirong's cousin, and when she heard that Wu Lirong had a strange disease that was difficult to treat, she recommended Ming Chongyan to go out of the mountain for diagnosis and treatment. Ming Chongyan was invited to the capital of Shizhou Prefecture to diagnose Wu Lirong's pulse.

After the diagnosis, Ming Chongyan said to his wife: "Ling Yuan's illness is very serious, and she needs to use phoenix tail as a medicine to solve it!" "Phoenix tail? I haven't seen it, where can I find it? Madame said urgently.

Ming Chongyan replied: "Don't worry about this lady, just leave it to the lowly position!" Mrs. said happily: "If Mingjun can cure my daughter's illness, I will be grateful!" ”

Ming Chongyan drew a talisman, shaped like a peacock's tail feathers, walked outside the courtyard, rode the wind and released the talisman to the sky, and the lady and the maid were curious to come out and look up. Ming Chongyan used the fetal breath to make a mantra and drive the soul.

After a while, a colorful feather fluttered down from the sky and fell into Ming Chongyan's hands. Ming Chongyan burned this phoenix tail to ashes as a medicine guide, and lit a talisman to turn it into water, and gave it to Wu Lirong together, and Wu Lirong's illness was quickly cured!

Wu Lirong got up and walked, full of energy, very surprised, and immediately bowed to Xie Ming Chongyan with his wife for saving his life! Ming Chongyan has been famous in the whole of Sizhou since then!

Besides, Wu Weiliang returned to Chang'an, and when the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, he was killed due to the incident of Mrs. Wei, and Wu Lirong and his wife were confiscated into the palace as slaves.

A year later, Wu Lirong was arranged to work under Lu Shanggong because of his good speech. At that time, the imperial court was using troops against Goguryeo, and some supernatural events often occurred in the newly built Penglai Palace.

Whenever such a thing happened, Wu Lirong would recommend Ming Chongyan to Lu Shanggong and other internal officials, saying: "There is a Ming prince in Shizhou, with profound Taoist skills and vast mana, as long as he shouts, snowflakes, fruits and all kinds of strange things will fall from the sky, even Xiaolong and Fengyu can find it!" ”

Lu Shanggong didn't believe it at first, laughed it off, and then listened to it a lot, and couldn't find any other way to crack it, so he reported the story of Shizhou Ming Gongzi told by Wu Lirong to Empress Wu.

When Empress Wu heard that Ming Gongzi could make dragons and phoenixes fall from the sky, she was immediately interested, and she wanted to meet this strange person, and told Li Zhi the story of Ming Gongzi.

After Li Zhi heard the story of Cheng Ming Chongyan in Huang'an County, Shizhou, in the spring of the second year of the general chapter, he summoned Ming Chongyan to Chang'an City to enter the palace to meet him.

When the spring flowers bloomed, Ming Chongyan was full of ambition, left Bashu, and traveled to Chang'an. Along the way, the warblers sing and dance, and the garden is full of spring. After coming to Chang'an City, I rested and traveled for a few days.

The inner servant was summoned, and Ming Chongyan entered the Xuanzheng Palace, and Li Zhi talked with him about Confucianism, Taoism, and healing, and felt very satisfied.

I also saw that he was like a jade tree in Yaochi, with a graceful demeanor, a good look, not in a hurry, fluent in language, a loud voice, and a calm bearing, he was indeed a rare family.

The monarchs and ministers talked very happily, and Li Zhi promoted Ming Chongyan to be the literature of the Ji Wangfu, and tutored the seven-year-old Li Lun, the king of Ji, to learn words and composition. Empress Wu sometimes came to the Ji Palace, and she liked it very much when she saw Ming Chongyan.
