One day, Ming Chongyan, the literary scholar of the Ji Palace, was tutoring Li Lun, the king of Ji, to write a calligraphy, and he reported the matter, saying that His Majesty the Emperor had an attack of ** illness, dizziness, and could not manage the government. The imperial physician Zhang Wenzhong had already rushed to the Zichen Hall to treat His Majesty's illness, but he still used the old prescription, and the effect was not obvious.

Li Lun immediately led his servants to visit, and Ming Chongyan also accompanied him. When I came to the Zichen Palace, I saw the emperor resting on the imperial couch, the queen of heaven sitting next to him, and Zhang Wenzhong was dispensing medicine.

Li Lun ran in front of the emperor and said respectfully: "Aye, A-Niang, my son has come to greet Sheng'an, is Aya okay?" The Emperor did not open his eyes, but only made a gesture, and the Queen of Heaven said, "Your Majesty can't see you, but he knows that you are coming!" ”

Li Lun said sadly: "yes! "Tears. Ming Chongyan observed the Queen of Heaven from a distance, and said to the Queen of Heaven: "Niangniang, Weichen is not talented, he knows a little about medicine, and he dares to take the pulse of His Majesty's wind and pulse, and he is so frightened!" ”

The queen of heaven glanced at Zhang Wenzhong, Zhang Wenzhong looked back at Ming Chongyan, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty's supreme body, is it a test product for young people?" If you really have two hits, you'll come with me later, and I'll find a similar patient for you to try! ”

The queen nodded, and Ming Chongyan arched her hand and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey!" ”

After Zhang Wenzhong retreated, Ming Chongyan followed him to a dilapidated house, where an old man was lying, and the room smelled of foul odor, and Ming Chongyan frowned.

Zhang Wenzhong said: "Lao Xia, I found a famous doctor and came to see you!" The old man stretched out his hand, which was dirty and thin, and Ming Chongyan held his pulse and tasted it carefully.

After a while, Ming Chongyan explained Lao Xia's pulse and pathological diagnosis to Zhang Wenzhong, and then prescribed his own prescription. Zhang Wenzhong nodded again and again, and finally stretched out his thumb to praise Ming Chongyan.

The next day, Zhang Wenzhong recommended Ming Chongyan to the Queen of Heaven, saying: "The future is terrifying, this young man is indeed proficient in pulse and medical science, and the minister dares to guarantee that he will diagnose the saint!" The queen agreed.

Ming Chongyan carefully took the pulse of His Majesty the Emperor, and then reported the pathological diagnosis to the Queen of Heaven, which was basically the same as Zhang Wenzhong's report, but the prescription was different.

Ming Chongyan's prescription has the feathers of the Tianshan snowcock, and the queen of heaven said: "I heard that the Tianshan snowcock is produced in the Western Regions Zhuju Banguo, but in recent years, there is no Tianshan snowcock in the tribute of Zhuju Banguo!" There is no storage in the warehouse, what should I do? ”

Ming Chongyan replied: "Don't worry about the queen of heaven, everything will be handled by Weichen!" The queen of heaven said happily: "Okay, if Mingqing's medicine is really curative, this palace will not be stingy, and it will definitely be rewarded!" ”

Ming Chongyan drew a talisman, shaped like a snow pheasant in the Tianshan Mountains, walked outside the hall, and rode the wind to release the talisman to the sky. The queen of heaven, Zhang Wenzhong and the palace maids and eunuchs all came out and looked up at the sky curiously, and the white clouds in the blue sky were floating, and the pie did not fall.

Ming Chongyan used the fetal breath to move the mouth to make a mantra and drive the ghostly spirit. The ghost looms and fades away. After a while, five white feathers fell from the sky and fell into Ming Chongyan's hands.

Ming Chongyan chose a white feather to burn as ashes for medicine, and lit a talisman to dissolve in water, and then took a sip with the medicine, Zhang Wenzhong also tried to drink, and waited for a moment before presenting it to His Majesty the Emperor.

After the emperor drank the medicine of the snow pheasant of the Tianshan Mountains, he fell asleep peacefully. When he woke up, the emperor was in good spirits and was able to see with his eyes. The queen of heaven was very happy, and promoted Ming Chongyan to be a bachelor of Chongwen Pavilion, and invited his whole family to attend the state banquet in Lin De Hall.

Ming Chongyan took his wife Dong Xiaoqian and his son Ming Jue to the banquet together, only to see that the Lin De Hall is broad and majestic, composed of the front, middle and back three halls, surrounded by a long corridor, the building is glued, and it is splendid.

Cui'e and Xiao Eunuch lined up to Shang Shan Kitchen to receive delicacies and placed them in front of the guests. Eat and drink while watching the song and dance performances.

Then he led the VIPs to sit down in the audience in the square in front of the hall and watch the polo game and juggling until the early hours of the morning. All the dignitaries came out with joy and returned drunk, and Jin Wuwei, who was patrolling the city at night, did not dare to ask the reason for his departure when he saw it, and let them each swim home at night.

Ming Chongyan presented poems at the banquet:

The city is Shen Shen to Xiaohan, and he is happy to give him joy in the season,

Three halls are opened in the depths of the smoke, and the spring rain leads to hundreds of officials,

In front of the treasure tree building, the embroidery curtain is divided, and the colorful flower gallery reflects the Chinese column.

The palace feast is happy every year, and it has been seen three times.

It depicts a lively scene at that time.

The queen of heaven summoned Ming Chongyan to the cabinet to worship on duty, and Ming Chongyan meditated in the dead of night, running the inner dan, and wandering for nine days. In the morning, Ming Chongyan knocked on the pavilion to see him.

The queen asked: "Mingqing is in such a hurry early in the morning, is there any new situation?" Ming Chongyan bowed again: "Niangniang, Weichen watched the sky last night, pinched his fingers, this year's major events are not good, and the country is in trouble!" ”

The queen of heaven exclaimed: "Oh? Mingqing is a little restless, and let's talk carefully! Ming Chongyan replied: "There is a bloody disaster in the northwest cadres, there are female snakes in the world, and the ghosts and ghosts are dispatched together, the famine is raging, and the people are displaced!" ”

The queen asked, "Is there a way to crack it?" "The disaster that fell from heaven cannot be reversed by manpower, but humility can avoid disaster!" Ming Chongyan replied.

The queen of heaven asked again: "The sky is unpredictable, how did Mingqing predict the mortal fetus with the naked eye?" ”

Ming Chongyan said: "The minister has practiced the fetal resting gong, can run the inner pill, return to the inner light, and communicate with the cool spirits and ghosts between heaven and earth, so he can predict some things in the Yang Brahma Palace." ”

The queen of heaven said: "This palace will wait and see, if things really develop as Ming Qing said, this palace will believe that Ming Qing's words are not true!" ”

Soon, droughts, insect plagues, and famine occurred in more than 40 prefectures in the world, and the common people were displaced from place to place, and the emperor was also preparing to go to Luoyang to seek food. Xue Rengui, who was invincible in the past, was also defeated in Dafeichuan, and the country lost a large area of land. Mrs. Rongguo died of illness in Jiucheng Palace.

Hanyuan Palace has also begun to be haunted. Late one night, the queen of heaven took Fang Yuan back to the palace, and when she passed by the east wall, the palace maid Haiwu and Shaoqing, who were holding the lamp in front, suddenly saw two ghosts with their heads scattered, suspended in the air.

Hai Wu was bold, did not believe in evil, approached and shouted: "Who is it?" Who's pretending to be a ghost? Turn your head! ”

The two demons in their cloaks slowly turned their heads, and the sea fog screamed and fled in fright, and the lanterns were thrown away. The palace maids who shook the love and carried the chariot were also so frightened that they turned around and fled, almost falling down and injuring the queen.

Soon after this, Hai Wu went mad, laughing and crying from time to time, and speaking in a language that even barbarians could not understand. Shaoqing also got a strange disease, and he couldn't straighten his waist, so he could only walk on a hunchback.

The queen of heaven was very worried, and summoned Ming Chongyan, saying: "Ming Qing's prediction some time ago has all come true, and this palace believes that Qing's words have no words." ”

Ming Chongyan bowed and thanked: "Thank you Niangniang for your trust in Weichen!" "Recently, the palace has been haunted, has Ming Qing heard of it?" The queen asked. "I've heard of it." Ming Chong replied.

The queen of heaven said: "The son is silent, and the strange power is chaotic, but there is no need for ghosts and gods? The palace is not at ease, I hope that Mingqing can crack the evil spirit in the palace and eliminate disasters for the palace maids! ”

Ming Chongyan replied: "According to Wei Chen's observation, the monster in the palace is the messenger of heavenly blood, and the ghost car is also his subordinate, which can make the sound of vehicles driving at night. Wherever the Heavenly Blood Messenger goes, anyone who touches him will be destroyed! ”

The Queen of Heaven asked with interest, "Heavenly Blood Messenger?" Is it that powerful? What does he look like? ”

Ming Chongyan said: "The Heavenly Blood Messenger is the leader of the monsters, and there are many changes, and there is no permanent form. However, he has a weakness, he is afraid of the feathers of ten species of birds. We can collect feathers, set up altars to pray and fast, in order to ward off disasters and relieve misfortunes. ”

The queen of heaven was very happy and said: "Since Mingqing has a way to crack it, then please leave this matter to Mingqing!" ”

The next day, Ming Chongyan set up a Jiao altar in Dajiaoguan, holding the dust, wearing the crown of the first yuan, wearing a yellow skirt, purple brown and five-colored clouds, and ascending the altar to pray.

The queen of heaven led the palace ladies to watch, and the sea fog and shaking love were also brought under the altar.

I saw Ming Chongyan waving the dust, drawing talismans into the air, chanting words in his mouth, and after a while, there were feathers flying in the world, falling down and inserting them around the Jiao altar. The crowd exclaimed in unison.

Ming Chongyan dipped the feathers in chicken blood, sprinkled them on the feathers around the altar, and then ran the inner pill, and when the cry started, the feathers around the altar spun in the air.

Ming Chongyan tapped his finger, and the feathers that swirled in the air flew up and shrouded the heads of the sea fog and shaking. The faster you turn, the faster you turn. Ming Chongyan took out the yellow talisman, blew it with his mouth, the yellow talisman flew up and pasted it on the foreheads of the two, and then took out the thunder splitting jujube wood five thunder token and threw it into the air, shouting: "Heavenly blood messenger, nine ghost cars, five thunders hit the top, ten feathers, monsters do not escape, chicken feathers in one place!" Make move! ”

The thunder split jujube wood five thunder token sent out thunder and lightning downward, slashing towards the entire Hanyuan Palace, after flashing a few times, everyone heard the sound of vehicles driving in mid-air, and gradually drifted away!

Ming Chongyan continued to operate the Inner Dan, and when the shout was closed, the feathers, yellow talismans, and five thunder tokens all returned to their original places. The sea fog is not crazy or noisy, and he straightens his waist. Hanyuan Palace has disappeared, and there are no more monsters to worship!

The queen of heaven took the lead in applauding Ming Chongyan, and warm applause quickly sounded around her.

Ming Chongyan became famous in one battle, and everyone inside and outside the palace knew that he was a master. The emperor promoted him to be a righteous doctor, and he was on the fifth grade, and he enjoyed 600 stones. Take charge of admonishment and discussion.

Ming Chongyan put on a crimson official robe, heroic posture, standing on the court, using his psychic power, discussing the gains and losses of current politics, looking far away, talking eloquently, like a river, deeply loved by the emperor and the queen of heaven, often obeying him.

One day in early summer, the emperor was thirsty and wanted to eat watermelon. The queen of heaven smiled: "This solar term, the watermelon seedlings in the countryside have just grown, and there are only two leaflets, where did the watermelon come from?" ”

The chief doctor, Ming Chongyan, came out and said, "The minister has a way to make His Majesty the Emperor eat a sweet and round watermelon!" All the officials were shocked, and the emperor looked at him with a smile.

Ming Chongyan said again: "However, the minister needs a hundred copper coins, and I hope that His Majesty will give it to the minister!" The emperor smiled and said, "What's so hard about that?" Kong Nei Waiter. Give money! Kong Nei took out a hundred copper coins and gave them to Ming Chongyan.

Ming Chongyan withdrew from the hall with a hundred copper coins, and in a moment he brought a big and round watermelon to the hall and offered it to the emperor.

Shang Shi took a kitchen knife, cut open the watermelon, and took out a piece of watermelon and gave it to the emperor. The emperor ate a few bites and said happily: "Well, it's sweet, thirst-quenching and delicious, lady, you can eat a piece too!" ”

The queen took a piece of watermelon and ate a few bites and said, "Well, it's a really big watermelon!" How did Mingqing get it? Ming Chongyan smiled and said: "This melon was dug up in the vegetable garden of an old man in Guishi County!" ”

The emperor was very curious, and immediately sent someone to summon the old man who grew vegetables to ask the reason.

The old man who planted vegetables rushed to Luoyang in a horse-drawn carriage, and after entering the palace, he reported to the emperor, saying: "The grass people buried a big watermelon in the soil of the vegetable garden in autumn and prepared to offer it. After saying that, he took out the copper coin.

Kong Neishou took a closer look and exclaimed: "Hey, this is exactly the one hundred copper coins that the minister gave to Ming Qing just now!" ”

The whole court was shocked. The emperor smiled and asked the queen of heaven: "The lady is a fairy, can she go to the county to dig a big watermelon in a moment?" ”

The queen shook her head and said no. The Emperor held his beard and said, "It seems that Ming Chongyan can really drive ghosts to do things!" Ming Chongyan said: "The minister is ashamed and frightened, and he has added questions to His Majesty!" ”

The Emperor laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay, the more questions like this, the better!" ”

In the middle of summer, the emperor wanted to eat snowflakes, loquat and longan, so Ming Chongyan went to sit under the verandah of the hall for a while, recited a spell, summoned a cool spirit, and took snowflakes, loquat and longan in a moment, and gave them to the emperor to eat.

After tasting it, the emperor said, "It's true! It's delicious, lady, you can try it too! "Give snowflakes, loquat and longan to the queen to eat.

The queen of heaven asked while eating: "Well, these snowflakes, loquat and longan are all real!" It's the same taste as before, where did Ming Qing get it? Ming Chongyan arched his hand and said: "The minister just summoned Shuang Ling to go to Yinshan to fetch snowflakes, and then to Lingnan to fetch loquat and longan. ”

The queen of heaven sighed: "It seems that the strange force is chaotic, and it can't be seen with the naked eye, but it really exists!" ”

In order to thank Ming Chongyan, His Majesty the Emperor specially made an inscription for the Qixia Temple in Runzhou, commending the Southern Dynasty Guozi to sacrifice the wine Ming Shanbin, and personally wrote it on the stone, which was a great honor at that time!

Narunzhou Qixia Temple is the former residence of Ming Chongyan's five generations of ancestors Ming Shanbin. When Ming Chongyan returned to his ancestral home with a carriage pulling the imperial stele, the people in his hometown cast admiring eyes on him and praised him for his glory to his ancestors.

The queen of heaven was very curious, and came up with an idea for the emperor, wanting to test how profound Ming Chongyan's Taoism was and how powerful the spell was!

Dig a cellar under the floor of the palace first, send the ladies to play music in the cellar, and then lay the floor.

Then the Emperor summoned Ming Chongyan to the palace and said to him, "There is no one else in this palace, and I often hear the sound of silk and bamboo strings and pipes when I live here. Can you stop this voice? ”

Ming Chongyan replied: "This is not difficult! After speaking, he went out of the hall and brought two pieces of peach wood, drew two peach charms, and nailed the peach charms to the floor of the cellar, and the sound of the silk and bamboo string pipes stopped silently.

The emperor and the queen of heaven looked at each other, and the emperor couldn't help laughing, asked Ming Chongyan to step down, and then summoned the palace ladies to come out and ask to see what was going on.

The palace maids replied: "When I was playing just now, I suddenly saw two dragon heads on the roof, and they opened their bloody mouths downward, which was so terrifying that we didn't dare to play music!" The emperor nodded and smiled, and the queen obeyed.

In addition to Taoism, Ming Chongyan is also good at physiognomy, after entering the cabinet to worship, the queen of heaven ordered him to look at the kings, focusing on his son.

The crown prince Li Xian, the British king Li Zhe, and the prime minister Li Lun entered the cabinet to greet their father and mother, and Ming Chongyan stood aside to carefully observe their faces, voices, and movements.

After observing three times, Ming Chongyan secretly recited to the emperor and the queen of heaven: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no imperial virtue and is unbearable to inherit, the appearance of King Li Zhe is similar to that of Taizong, and the face of King Li Lun is the most expensive!" ”

These words were said in the cabinet, which was originally very secret, and only a few people knew about it, but then somehow reached the ears of the crown prince Li Xian, who gritted his teeth with hatred for Ming Chongyan.
