Hui Neng saw that the face of the Lord of Ding Zhai was not as ugly as just now, and said: "Lord Ding Zhai, now that you can see it with your own eyes, the mountain ghosts that the witch is crying are actually the cries of these baby fish. ”

"Ahh We all thought it was a ghost. Jing Huineng explained this, the lord of Ding 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!" ”

Huineng 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, and the owner of Ding Zhai felt a lot in his heart, and nodded: "This is also!" This too! ”

Huineng said to him solemnly: "In the world, if you have a ghost 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? A-Neng, you have a point. The master of Ding Zhai, who had experienced a period of intimidation, had a deep understanding at this time, and thought of something, and asked, "Ah Neng, it seems that you have come prepared to bring us to Longtan this time, do you know that there will be baby fish in this Longtan?" ”

Huineng recounted, "This afternoon, you said that you heard the cry of a child 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, when Hui Neng sought the Dharma in Huangmei Dong Zen 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, and his face was pale.

Senior Brother Sun, who lives with Hui Neng, usually receives the teachings and guidance of Zen Master Shi Hui, 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 Hui Neng tossed and turned in the meditation room, unable to sleep.

Senior Brother Sun suggested to Huineng: "Hengzhu can't sleep in this steamer-like room, so it's better to go to the back mountain for a walk." ”

Huineng went up the back mountain with him overnight. There is a long-flowing mountain spring water on the east 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.

Huineng couldn't help but shudder, stopped his steps, and asked: "Our Dongshan is a pure place of 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. ”

Huineng 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 and Huineng walked up the stone steps, and 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. ”

Huineng: "Well, its cry is very similar to that of 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. ”

Huineng 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." ”

Huineng 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 heir 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. ”

Huineng: "This ......"

After all, Senior Brother Sun, a disciple of Buddhism, has a bodhisattva-like heart: "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." ”

Huineng: "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. ”

Huineng: "Where can I 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. ”

Huineng: "What kind of medicine?" ”

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. ”

Huineng heard a new name: "Where are we going to 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 Huineng 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.

Huineng 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 Dongchan Temple, and his seat in Dongchan Temple is in the front position, which attracts everyone's 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 became famous because of this,

When they learned that Senior Brother Sun was the descendant of Sun Simiao, the "King of Medicine", they regarded him as a treasure in the temple, and promoted him from an ordinary miscellaneous servant to the chief Langzhong in the temple.

Shortly thereafter, the Fifth Ancestor Hongren Master completely conquered the heart of the Five Ancestors Hongren Master after many secret investigations of Huineng, especially the "Bodhi Ben Wushu" side, and passed the mantle to Huineng on the third watch day, and told him to flee south quickly, "stop when you are in Huai, and hide when you meet".

During the period of Huaiji and Sihui hidden cultivation, Huineng, who was based on filial piety, took the time to quietly return to his birthplace Xialu Village because he was worried about his elderly mother, and carried his old mother who suffered from skin diseases to Tianlu Mountain.

The lord of Ding Zhai asked Huineng strangely: "Ah Neng, 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 Ding Zhai what happened in Dongchan Temple before, Huineng 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." ”
