Du Wenhao took a pen and wrote a prescription for Zhao San to go to the village pharmacy to grab medicine. Zhao Sanqian thanked him, took out the money bag from his arms, opened it, and handed the few small pieces of silver and copper coins to Du Wenhao: "Imperial Doctor, this is the consultation money, I have so much, please ...... it."

Du Wenhao pushed his hand away and said with a smile: "Shicai Shemei is joking, the principle of this official's diagnosis is that the rich give more, the general people give less, and the poor don't give it, your family seems to be the last one, so you don't need to give it." It's just those big families who helped you give it. Hurry up and grab the medicine and give it to Ling Ci to decoction. Here we go. ”

Zhao San and his wife thanked each other and sent Du Wenhao and them all the way to the entrance of the village.

Li Pu said: "My lord, we asked, not far from the village, there is a Baoguo Temple, which is at the main crossing of Mount Emei, why don't we wait for a few ladies there?" ”

Du Wenhao nodded: "Okay." ”

On the carriage, Ke Yao was still pondering the medical case just now, and asked: "Brother, I want to understand some of the truth you told me about cold and heat, but can you tell me about this medicine?" Why did Na Lang Zhong use aconite in the soup to prove it wrong? What kind of medicine did you use later? ”

Du Wenhao said: "Aconite Lizhong soup is a famous recipe in Wenli, and aconite in Fangzhong is a hot product of Daxin, which is sweet and warm, helps heart yang, warms spleen yang, and tonifies kidney yang, which is the first medicine to return to yang and save adversity." And the dried ginger in the recipe is also a hot and spicy product, hot and dry, the old woman is already hot in the summer, and her body is like a stove. Under the extreme heat, of course, the clear body was occluded, and he passed out. ”

"Oh, I see, what do you mean by that squirting or something?"

"I let you spray your chest with soju, pounce on it with a bronze mirror, add honey with well water, and use a chicken feather to induce vomiting, all of which are methods of opening and closing through heat and clearing away heat, so that the heat will come out, and people will naturally wake up."

While talking, I came to Baoguo Temple.

Li Pu was going to send someone to notify the temple host to come out to greet him, but he was stopped by Du Wenhao, saying that he was a touring the mountains and rivers this time, and he was a pilgrim, and he had nothing to do with his position, so there was no need to stir up teachers to trouble others, and they were not allowed to reveal their identities.

Stopping and dismounting in front of the temple, Du Wenhao stepped into the temple first.

This Baoguo Temple is very small, compared to the royal temples in the capital, it is simply incomparable. There are only a dozen monks, but after all, it is a temple under the famous mountain, and the age is very old, and the temple rules are still very strict, so in addition to the welcoming monks, the rest of the monks are chanting in the main hall.

The welcoming monk saw Du Wenhao with his servants, obviously a big family with status, but he did not show special affection because of this, welcomed Du Wenhao to the main hall, and bowed to Rulai, Du Wenhao took a ten taels of silver tickets and put them in the box with the fate.

The welcoming monk's eyes were sharp, and he had already made it clear that this was a silver ticket of ten taels, and he couldn't help but be moved. Ten taels of silver is equivalent to 10,000 yuan now, and such a large amount of sesame oil money is a huge amount of money for them, an ancient temple in the deep mountains where pilgrims are scarce. At least this welcoming monk has been a monk for many years, and he has never encountered it.

Although the monks regard money as dung, after all, the monks also need to eat and dress, and to put gold dust on the Bodhisattva to repair the temple, which still requires dung-like silver, so they hurriedly invited Du Wenhao to the wing room, served fragrant tea, and then invited the old abbot.

This old abbot is a little hunched, although he knows that Du Wenhao's donation of ten taels of silver is a huge amount of money for their small temple, but his face is still faint, and he accompanies Du Wenhao to drink tea and chat.

Ke Yao was most afraid of this kind of sullen chat, so he didn't accompany him, so he went around the temple and watched the scenery, and Li Pu sent two guards to follow and protect.

In the meditation room, Du Wenhao and the old abbot chatted about some Buddhist topics, there are a lot of books and films about Buddhism in modern society, although Du Wenhao has not studied Buddhism, but he still has some interest, and he looks at books in this area in his spare time, so the two chatted, Du Wenhao can still say a few words, and some words also reveal a lot of mysterious Zen.

The old abbot naturally didn't know that Du Wenhao had learned from reading books, and thought it was his own understanding, so he was immediately impressed by this generous young master. The smile on his face has become more and more numerous, and the wrinkles have become denser.

The old man was happy, Li Pu came in, bowed down and said, "Young master, madam, they have something to delay, and they may not be able to come today." ”

Du Wenhao was slightly taken aback: "What's wrong?" ”

Li Pu leaned into Du Wenhao's ear and whispered: "Not long after we left, a woman who was about to give birth was sent from outside the city, and it is estimated that she will give birth today, so the two ladies asked me to quickly call Wen Po and the female doctor to observe and explain the new method of midwifery." - Why don't we go back to the city first? ”

Du Wenhao shook his head and said to the old monk: "Master, I want to spend a night in your temple, I don't know if it's convenient?" ”

The old monk said to Amitabha Buddha and said with a smile: "No problem, there are many meditation rooms in the temple, and you can live in the donor's party." ”

"That's great." Du Wenhao said to Li Pu: "This scenery is beautiful, the ancient temple in the deep mountains, just quiet and quiet. When they go back, they are busy training, and we can't help, so we might as well just wait here. You send two more people back, tell them to train at ease, and come back when they're done, we'll wait for them here. ”

Li Pu bowed down and retreated.

Du Wenhao chatted with the old monk for a long time. Ke Yao was also tired of shopping, and returned to the meditation room to listen to the two of them. At noon, the old monk led them to the meditation room to see the residence, the meditation room was very simple, a hard bed and a big futon. However, the bedding and beds are very clean. Du Wenhao is very satisfied.

A little novice came to report that the meal had been prepared, and the old monk accompanied Du Wenhao and Ke Yao to the kitchen and dining room.

Two long rows of wooden tables and long wooden stools, with green vegetables and tofu on the table, a porcelain bowl with brown rice, and a few plates of kimchi.

More than a dozen monks stood with their hands down, and when they saw Du Wenhao and the abbot coming in, they all owed a salute.

There was a round table by the window, and when the abbot beckoned Du Wenhao and Ke Yao to sit down at the round table, Li Pu and a few guards sat down at another long table, and the monks also sat down at the long table.

Ke Yao was hungry for a long time, and although the green vegetable tofu didn't have any oil stars, she still ate it deliciously.

Du Wenhao picked up the rice bowl and was about to eat, when he saw an old monk who was slow to move and had a painful look on his face, he took a look at it attentively, the weather was hot, and the old monk was only wearing a vest, with a big belly and poop, pale skin, and severe puffiness.

Du Wenhao asked the old abbot, "Is this master sick?" ”

"yes." The abbot said, "His name is Mingkong, and he has been edema for several months, and he has not recovered after taking many medicines." ”

Monk Mingkong heard the abbot and the rich young master talking about himself, turned his head and smiled hard.

Du Wenhao said: "I know some medical skills, let me show this master." ”

The abbot was a little surprised, and looked Du Wenhao up and down: "The donor ......, the donor understands medicine?" ”

Ke Yao chuckled, almost squirted out the rice in his mouth, looked at the old abbot and said, "Master, my brother doesn't just know how to heal, my brother is ......."

Du Wenhao's foot stepped on her under the table, and Ke Yao quickly shut up and lowered his head to eat.

Du Wenhao smiled and said: "It's just a little bit of understanding,—— Master Mingkong, you come and sit here, and I'll take a look at your illness." ”

Mingkong didn't rush to get up and looked at the old abbot. The old abbot has always been very worried about Mingkong's condition, and he has looked for a few Lang Zhong, but he has not been cured, and now the young master says that he knows how to heal, in the old abbot's opinion, so young, even if he has studied medicine, he is not very smart. Those old men are not optimistic, this young master is so young, I am afraid that there is no hope. However, people were kind-hearted and couldn't refuse, so they beckoned Mingkong to come and sit at the round table.

Du Wenhao asked him to lift his foot and pressed it with his thumb on the front of his calf, there was an obvious depression, and he couldn't recover for a while. Du Wenhao checked his pulse again, looked at his tongue, and after inquiring about some of the situation, he thought about it and asked, "Master, what medicine did you use for this edema before?" ”

The old monk bowed and said: "Bazheng San, Amber San, and five sons and five skins." ”

"Does it work?"

"No, it's still swollen, dripping with urine, and it's very uncomfortable."

Du Wenhao shook his head: "If the prescription is not right, naturally it will not be able to achieve curative effect." ”

Ming Kongqi said: "Donor, isn't the old monk's illness edema?" ”

"It's edema, but there are many causes of edema, and the symptoms are different, and the underside is different. Your edema is 'skin water'! ”

"Pishui?" Monk Mingkong couldn't figure out what this word meant.

"Well, there is a cloud in "Jin Kui Yao": 'The skin and water are also floating, the external evidence is swollen, there is no finger according to it, it is not evil, its belly is like a drum, and it is not thirsty.'" It's exactly the same as you, so it's skin water. ”

Ke Yao chewed a mouthful of rice in his mouth and asked, "Brother, what is skin water?" ”

"There is a cloud in the "Treatise on the Origin and Syndrome of Diseases": 'If the kidneys are deficient, the water will flow in vain and overflow on the skin, so that the body will be swollen, and there will be no sweat when you press it. The belly is not satisfied, nor thirsty, and the four branches are heavy but not evil. The person who floats in the vein, the name is Pi Shui. To put it simply, it is the dysfunction of the lungs, spleen, and kidneys to transport water, resulting in water vapor overflowing the skin, resulting in edema. ”

Du Wenhao's words made the old abbot and the monk Mingkong widen their eyes, and the rest of the monks also stopped their chopsticks to listen to his explanation.

Du Wenhao continued: "The evidence of Master Mingkong's skin water is that the lung qi congestion is lost in the passage, and the spleen is weak and lost in transport, so the water stays and floods, which is the evidence of the truth of this hypocrisy. If the water does not work, the swelling will not go away, and if the swelling does not go away, the righteousness will not return. Therefore, it is necessary to first sort out the congestion to treat the symptoms, and then benefit the deficiency of the focus to restore its roots, so that the symptoms can be treated at the same time, in order to be effective! ”

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the lungs, spleen and kidneys all have the function of running water, among which the lungs are the source above the water, the kidneys are the source under the water, and the spleen is in the middle of the coke, which is the hub of the lifting and distribution of water. Once the lungs, spleen, and kidneys transport water and fluid dysfunction, it will inevitably lead to the accumulation of water in the body and produce dampness and phlegm, and even lead to edema.

The dysfunction of lung qi running water and liquid infusion is mainly due to the invasion of external evils, which causes the abnormal function of lung qi, so it is mostly treated clinically by the method of promoting lung and water, which is called "opening the ghost door" and also compared to "lifting the lid of the pot"; For the obstacle of spleen qi and water liquid, the method of strengthening the spleen and dampness and strengthening the spleen and water is generally adopted. If there is a disorder at the same time, there must be a sequence in the treatment, first promote the lungs to flow water, dredge the outlet, the water has a way out, the edema can be stopped, and then regulate the spleen, restart its pivotal role of connecting the upper and lower levels, and restore the function of the body to transport water and fluid.

Du Wenhao said: "The former medical treatment of Bazheng San and other heat-clearing and water-relieving medicines, ignoring that this certificate belongs to the original deficiency and the standard, but in the treatment of the real time, but vainly cut its deficiency, the water and gas naturally cannot be transported, but the viscera is weaker, and the disease will not be cured." ”

Du Wenhao immediately put pen to paper and wrote two prescriptions, Ke Yao put down the bowl, leaned over and asked, "What kind of medicine did you prescribe?" ”

Du Wenhao picked up the first formula: "Su leaves, parsnip, apricots." Originally, "Jin Kui Yao" said that the evidence of skin water should sweat. The best diaphoresis is, of course, ephedra. But now it's a hot summer, and I'm sweating more than once, and then using ephedra, I'm afraid that it will take off the yang, Su Ye and other three flavor medicines, only sweat slightly, and the main role is to promote lung water. - Master Mingkong, after you take these three flavor medicines, your urine will be smooth, and your body will sweat slightly, which is to disperse the stagnant water in your body. Don't panic. ”

Mingkong took it and thanked him repeatedly.

Du Wenhao picked up the second prescription again: "This is the addition and subtraction of the six gentlemen's prescriptions, go to licorice, add atractylodes, magnolia, ginger and cooked aconite, and wait for the first party to finish eating, take the second side of the medicine, the latter medicine, to be thick and warm, in addition, use the above medicines to make pills, take them every day." After eating, pick up the medicine according to the prescription and continue to take it until you are completely cured. Do you remember clearly? ”

Ming Kong nodded again and again and took the prescription. Give it to the good monk and go to the city to buy medicine after lunch.

The old abbot also thanked him repeatedly. I just don't know how effective it is, so it's just etiquette.

In the afternoon, Du Wenhao took Ke Yao and Li Pu, led by a small novice, and walked around the temple.

The murmuring stream and the secluded dense forest reminded him of watching the movie "Shaolin Temple" in the school auditorium when he was a child, as well as the beautiful episodes in the movie, which were very popular in the school for a period of time, "The moon rises in the green mountains, the stream in the forest is murmuring, and the grass is green on the slope." The bells of the ancient temple, the majestic and steep mountains, the deep valleys, the verdant forests, and the solemn temples all left a deep impression on him.

When I came back, it was already evening.

Du Wenhao's body was extremely weak after blood loss, and he was a little sleepy, the temple's fasting meal was not oily and watery, and his feet were even more fluttering after eating, and he couldn't kill chickens and cattle, so he only ate a small half bowl, and then said goodbye and went back to the meditation room to prepare for rest.

There is a hundred-year-old osmanthus tree in his meditation courtyard, in the early autumn night, the osmanthus is fragrant, a round of bright moon in the sky, such a beautiful scenery, Du Wenhao did not feel sleepy for a while, Ke Yao asked the little novice who led the way in the afternoon to bring a bamboo woven chaise longue and put it under the osmanthus tree for him to lie down, next to a few cases there was a pot of fragrant tea, two teacups, and he took a small bamboo stool to sit aside.

The night is quiet, and the moonlight is sultry.

Ke Yao called the little novice who led the way in the afternoon, gave him a copper coin, and asked him to boil a bowl of porridge according to his own way.

Xiao Shami listened to Ke Yao's porridge, blinked, and didn't feel that there was anything that violated the temple rules, so he left happily.

After a while, Xiao Shami came back with a bowl of porridge and put the porridge on the coffee table next to Du Wenhao: "Donor, the porridge is here, eat it while it's hot." ”

Du Wenhao glanced at Ke Yao and smiled: "It's too hot, wait until it's cool." After that, he closed his eyes and rested his mind.

Xiao Shami sat on the flower platform and said, "Two donors, the moon of our Emei is also very famous. ”

Du Wenhao closed his eyes slightly, feeling the tranquility, so he just hummed.

Ke Yao said, "Isn't it all the moon? How is it different from other places? ”

Xiao Shami: "Every moonlit night, the clouds and fog converge, the sky is blue, the mountains are silent, the autumn breeze is cool, a round of mirrors hangs in the clean and cloudless blue sky, only the heroic and upright fir forest, bleak and sorrowful, whispering. If you are willing to go to the temple after eating, of course, there are some places we are not allowed to go, you can find the moonlight through the jungle, Daxiong Hall, Yinyue Tower, it looks really beautiful! ”

Ke Yao smiled: "I can't see that you are a little novice who can talk, a moonlit night makes you depict such a difference, brother, do you want to go for a walk?" ”

Du Wenhao opened his eyes and looked at the bright moon in the sky immersed in the hazy moonlight, looking solemn, elegant and quiet: "Okay, anyway, it's still early, and I can't sleep." It's good to take a look at the moonlight in this ancient temple. ”

Xiao Shami folded his hands and bowed down and said, "There are signs for pilgrims in our temple, and some places will also say that it is forbidden to enter, please don't forget to look at the wooden signs on the side of the road." ”

Ke Yao joked: "Could it be that there is still a treasure in your temple, afraid that we will steal it?" ”

Xiao Shami laughed innocently twice: "That's not it, as for why I didn't let Xiang look at it objectively, I don't know very well, but if I don't make it clear, we will be punished by the master." ”

Ke Yao waved his hand: "Okay, I know, you go and get busy with yours, let's eat." ”

Xiao Shami retreated, Ke Yao helped Du Wenhao sit down, then handed the chopsticks to his hand, and said softly: "Brother, I asked them to put some osmanthus and herbs in the porridge, it will be more appetizing to eat." ”

Du Wenhao knew that Ke Yao had been taking care of himself very carefully along the way, a young lady had always been taken care of by others, and now she had to think about herself everywhere, and she was very thoughtful, it was really not easy, he smiled at Ke Yao, picked up the porridge bowl, and sure enough, he smelled a fragrance, pecked lightly, and it was even sweeter and smoother.

"Well, it's delicious, Ke Yao, you can eat more." Du Wenhao said.

Ke Yao saw that Du Wenhao said it was delicious, and happily sandwiched some green vegetables in Du Wenhao's bowl, and then ate it himself.

"Ke Yao, it's really hard for you, tomorrow Qin'er and they come, you will be more relaxed." After Du Wenhao finished eating a full bowl, he felt sweaty on his forehead, and his stomach was much more comfortable.
