Liang Shirong's eyes were sharp, he found the source of the sound, waved his hand and everyone was silent, and then pointed to the pool.

Everyone followed Liang Shirong's gesture and looked down: the pool was clear and bottomed out. The snow-white sand was clearly visible, and several strangely shaped fish were swimming on it: this fish was nearly a foot long, with a black and brown mixture on its back, a flattened and broad head with a pair of small eyes embedded in it, a flattened tail, and short, fat limbs outstretching.

Liang Shirong blurted out: "Ah! Giant salamander! His voice was soft.

The master of Su Zhai thought that he had a problem with his old ears and misheard, so he put his mouth to the root of Liang Shirong's ear and asked in a low voice, "What?" This fish is called baby fish? ”

Liang Shirong nodded, and replied in a small but affirmative voice: "Yes, these are baby fish." ”

By the light of the torches, the master of Su Zhai lowered his head and looked carefully, as if he had found something, and whispered: "Ah, how can this fish have four legs?" ”

Liang Shirong pointed to the salamander swimming freely in the stream, and replied in the same low voice: "Yes, this salamander is different from other fish, it has four legs, it can swim in the water, and it can also climb on the rocks on the shore." ”

"Doll fish, baby fish...... "Su Zhai said to himself, "Why are so many names unaffordable, but it is called baby fish?" ”

Liang Shirong pulled the owner of Su Zhai behind the big stone a little far away from Longtan, and explained in a low voice: "Master Su Zhai, this fish will make a baby-like cry, so people call it a baby fish." You've heard it with your own ears, and the cry of this fish is like a doll's cry. ”

The master of Su Zhai seemed to have realized: "Such a cry is nothing if you hear it during the day, but if you hear it in the middle of the night, it is strange and terrifying." ”

Liang Shirong explained: "This baby fish does not bark during the day. ”

The owner of Su Zhai was puzzled: "Then when will it be called?" ”

Liang Shirong explains: "Baby fish only live in streams with excellent water quality in the mountains, and they hide in the crevices of the streams during the day and only come out at night. The salamander only calls when it is in heat in the middle of the night. ”

The lord of Su Zhai suddenly realized: "Ah, I see! These nights I heard the cries of children outside, and I always thought it was the middle of the night when the little ghost was screaming! The witch in the district also said that the group of mountain spirits on the other side possessed my son, and I was so frightened that I almost pulled my urine down. ”

Liang Shirong saw that the face of the lord of Su Zhai was not as ugly as just now, and said: "Lord Su Zhai, now you can see it with your own eyes, the mountain ghost that the witch is referring to is crying, which is actually the cry of these baby fish." ”

"Ahh We all thought it was a ghost. After Liang Shirong's explanation, the lord of Su Zhai completely understood the truth, thinking that he had spent a lot of money some time ago to invite the district witch to his home to exorcise ghosts, he really regretted it, and said stupidly, "It turns out that the district witch also used lies to deceive me, so that I almost delayed the opportunity to treat Yujia!" ”

Liang Shirong admonished: "In order to cheat money, of course, those witches want to make up some ghost stories to deceive people, and when you encounter these things in the future, you still have to think carefully about it first." ”

With this personal experience, it can be regarded as a profound lesson, Su Zhai felt a lot in his heart, and nodded: "This is also!" This too! ”

Liang Shirong said to him solemnly: "In the world, if you have ghosts in your heart, there will be ghosts around you." If you don't have a ghost in your heart, there won't be a ghost. ”

"If there are ghosts in your heart, there will be ghosts all around you. If you don't have a ghost in your heart, there won't be a ghost? Little brother Aaron, you have a point. The master of Su Zhai, who had experienced a period of intimidation, had a deep understanding at this time, and thought of something, and asked, "You seem to have come prepared for bringing us to Longtan this time, do you know that there will be baby fish in this Longtan?" ”

Liang Shirong recounted, "This afternoon, you said that you heard the cry of a child over there in Longtan in the middle of the night yesterday, like a little ghost crying. This reminds me of a past incident, when I had a hunch that there should be baby fish in this dragon pool. ”

It turned out that a few years ago, Liang Shirong had sought the Dharma in Huangmei Dongchan Temple, there was a respected old monk Shi Hui Zen Master in the temple for some reason, he had anemia, anorexia every day, getting thinner and thinner, his face was pale, and the famous doctors in the temple Langzhong and outside diagnosed him after he was ill, and he had prescribed a lot of medicines and was powerless.

Senior Brother Sun, who lives with Liang Shirong, usually receives the teachings and guidance of Zen Master Shihui, although he also understands pharmacology, but he is not a full-time man in the temple. There was a hot night, without a hint of wind, and the meditation room was exposed to the fierce sun all day, and the heat wave was pressing. Senior Brother Sun and Liang Shirong tossed and turned in the meditation room, unable to sleep. Senior Brother Sun proposed to Liang Shirong: "Hengzhu can't sleep in this steamer-like room, so it's better to go to the back mountain for a walk." Liang Shirong went up with him overnight, and there is a long-flowing mountain spring water on the SD Mountain, which is for more than 1,000 monks in the temple to drink.

As they walked along the stream, they were almost at the top of the hill when they heard the cries of dolls.

Liang Shirong couldn't help but shudder, stopped his steps, and asked: "Dongshan is a pure place for Buddhism, we go up the mountain to collect firewood and medicine on weekdays, and we have never seen the world's people, and now it is the middle of the night, how can there be children crying on the mountain?" ”

Senior Brother Sun listened attentively for a while, and said, "Ah, this is the cry of the baby fish. ”

Liang Shirong heard the name "baby fish" for the first time and asked: "baby fish? Do all fish have dolls? ”

Senior Brother Sun pretended to reply mysteriously: "You go with me, and you will understand in a while." So, Senior Brother Sun took Liang Shirong up the stone steps, the doll's cry got closer and closer, and they finally came to a waterhole on the east mountain.

Senior Brother Sun looked down at the fish that were swimming back and said, "Look, this is the baby fish." You listen to its cry, like a doll crying in the middle of the night. ”

Liang Shirong: "Well, its cry is very similar to a crying doll." ”

Senior Brother Sun: "It is not easy to find baby fish in the world, and it can only inhabit caves in mountain streams 300 zhang high, with little sand content, clear water, and turbulent backflow. Our Dongshan stream is just right for its living environment. They also climb ashore to rest. ”

Liang Shirong felt even more fresh, and asked: "Why does it cry in the middle of the night?" ”

Senior Brother Sun: "The baby fish hides in the cave on weekdays, and comes out at night during the day, and cries 'wow' whenever they are in estrus to attract the opposite sex." ”

Liang Shirong sighed and said: "Ah, it turns out that there are such strange creatures in the world! ”

"The world is full of wonders. I have heard Lao Langzhong in my hometown say that this kind of baby fish is very nutritious, some people call it water ginseng, and some people say that it is 'soft gold', which has a special medicinal effect on the treatment of anemia! Senior Brother Sun is worthy of being the successor of Sun Simiao's hometown, and when it comes to medicine, he is the first to say, "Heaven is a creation, this is a gift from nature." I think that with these baby fish as the main medicine, plus chicken blood vine and other medicines, I think there is hope that Master Shi Hui's illness will be cured. However, we can't catch or kill this baby fish. ”

Liang Shirong: "This ......"

Senior Brother Sun: "This is a rare animal that is on the verge of extinction in the world, if we catch and kill them, there will be no such species in the world in the future, but we can find substitutes." "Senior Brother Sun, a disciple of Buddhism, has a bodhisattva-like heart after all.

Liang Shirong: "What are the substitutes?" ”

Senior Brother Sun: "Bird's nest." Bird's nest can nourish yin and moisten dryness, nourish qi and replenish the middle, clear away deficiency and heat, and cure deficiency and damage. ”

Liang Shirong: "Where to find bird's nest now?" ”

Senior Brother Sun: "Fortunately, my ancestors left some bird's nest for us to use for self-defense. When I came to Tozen Temple, I also brought those bird's nests. However, if the bird's nest is to be introduced with a medicine, it will have a special effect on Master Shi Hui's anemia. ”

Liang Shirong: "What kind of medicine is it?" ”

Senior Brother Sun: "Chicken blood vine." Chicken blood vine has the effect of invigorating blood and soothing tendons, nourishing blood circulation, and correcting and replenishing deficiency. ”

Liang Shirong heard a new name: "Where can we find the chicken blood vine?" ”

Senior Brother Sun pointed to the peak opposite the East Mountain: "I have been there to collect medicine, and there are chicken blood vines on the cliff. ”

The next day, Senior Brother Sun took Liang Shirong to the mountain peak over there to collect mountain herbs such as chicken blood vine.

Only then did Senior Brother Sun tell Zen Master Shi Hui his thoughts. At the beginning, Zen Master Shi Hui was skeptical that the miscellaneous servants in the miscellaneous room could prescribe miracle medicines, but those skilled doctors could not cure their own diseases. So Zen Master Shi Hui just silently ate the medicine that Senior Brother Sun gave him.

Senior Brother Sun took out the bird's nest that he had brought from home and treasured for many years, and mixed it with chicken blood vine and other mountain herbs to fry it.

Liang Shirong is a caring person, he watched Senior Brother Sun carefully formulating the decoction from beginning to end, asking as he watched, and kept his essentials in mind.

It's really a medicine to rejuvenate! Zen Master Shi Hui's anemia that had been difficult to recover for a long time was alleviated, the amount of food gradually increased, and his face gradually became ruddy. After more than a month of taking medicine and conditioning, Zen Master Shi Hui was cured of a serious illness.

Zen Master Shi Hui is a Buddhist who has been practicing for more than 50 years in the Dongchan Temple, and the seats in the Dongchan Temple are in the front position, and everyone asks for attention. Now, his stubborn illness was cured by an unknown handyman with a Duwei Danfang, which is nothing less than explosive news in the temple. Senior Brother Sun's reputation has risen ...... because of this.

The lord of Su Zhai asked Liang Shirong strangely: "Little brother Yarong, why do you have a hunch that there will be baby fish in this dragon pool?" ”

There is no need to tell the master of Su Zhai what happened in Dongchan Temple before, Liang Shirong smiled and replied: "This is something I experienced a few years ago, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will tell you about it." ”
