Wei Xuan felt very moved. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The old Taoist priest walked for Wei Xuan's affairs for more than half a year this time, and finally brought Sun Simiao to testify against him, which basically ensured that there would be no more problems with his identity and origin.
The power of Taoism is far beyond people's imagination, although it has suffered the impact of Confucianism and Buddhism, but if you explore carefully, you will find that whether it is Confucianism or Buddhism, there is a shadow of Taoism. This is the charm of the Word.
The good is like water, and the water is good for all things.
The Li family gave Daomen a supreme status for the orthodoxy of the throne, although Wei Xuan knew that from this year onwards, both Dao and Buddha would be affected and restricted by the royal family, but at least in terms of reputation, Daomen still occupied an extremely important position. Don't look at Yuheng Zhenren is just a poor old Taoist priest, but there are only two people in the current Taoist sect who are of the same generation as him. One is Yuan Tiangang's uncle Yuan Shoucheng, and the other is Sun Simiao.
The two great gods escorted him, and Wei Xuan had no worries.
There is no way to repay this kindness. The old Taoist priest has no desires and no desires in his life, and his reputation is not obvious, except for the most elite people standing in the Daomen, others don't even know that there is such a person. Sun Simiao is even more, his reputation among the people with countless living people is unimaginable. After all, for the low-level people, what royal and military generals are too far away, and what can save lives is true.
The old Taoist priest didn't give Wei Xuan anything to prove his identity, this is also his style, and doing things is always unpredictable. Sometimes, Wei Xuan always felt that the old Taoist priest might know something, the truth about his origins, about the mirage-like wonder in Zhongnan Mountain. It's a pity that every time Wei Xuan wants to ask, he will always get a meaningful look from the old Taoist priest and a sentence "Heavenly secrets must not be revealed".
"Ahh
This is also Wei Xuan's reaction every time.
If you don't say it, don't think about it. Wei Xuan knew very well that some things still had to be discovered by himself.
Wei Xuan's appearance is a big event for Daomen, and the return of the missing lineage makes the history of Daomen more complete, and as the only descendant of Zhongnan Yiline, Wei Xuan has been greatly welcomed. In the days that followed, Wei Xuan could always receive gifts from various places. Whether it is a well-crafted whisk or a volume of the Tao Te Ching that has been commented by real people throughout the ages, they are all priceless treasures. In contrast, what the old Taoist priest and Sun Simiao sent was much simpler.
A jade bracelet, the material is very similar to the pendant that Wei Xuan now hangs around his neck, it looks ordinary, this is a gift from the old Taoist. As for Sun Simiao, he just threw Wei Xuan a yellowed scroll. Just threw it over casually, if it wasn't for the quick reaction, I was afraid that it would fall to the ground, but after opening it, I couldn't help but gasp in shock, and hurriedly rolled it up and put it away.
That's Wang Xizhi's handwritten "Huang Ting Jing"! It's really a good heirloom. As for where Sun Simiao got it, Wei Xuan didn't want to know, anyway, this thing belonged to him now.
The peaceful life of Nanshan Village was disrupted, and there was nothing to be done, but the villagers did not have much opinion. Those fairy-like characters who have only heard about it on weekdays appear in front of them one after another, what is it to be disturbed? Not to mention, the benefits of Sun Simiao's living in the village are real. After practicing medicine for decades, he has developed a pair of discerning eyes, and he can know whether a person is sick by looking at the posture, posture and appearance of a person, which is a real skill.
Qin Zhen's daughter-in-law was picking eggplants in the vegetable garden, standing with her waist tired and wiping her sweat, just as Lao Sun passed by and took a casual look, and then scolded Qin Zhen on the side. Wei Xuan was stunned at the time, and hurriedly asked. Sun Simiao ignored it, glared at Qin Zhen fiercely, and then asked Qin Zhen's daughter-in-law to come over and check the pulse and confirm it, only then did she know that she was pregnant and would be in her early months. With this kind of ability, anyone has to give a thumbs up.
After getting along a lot, Wei Xuan found more and more that Sun Simiao was actually a very simple person. What kind of medicine king, what kind of holy hand of the medical country, he doesn't care about these false names. The reason why I embarked on the road of practicing medicine was actually just because my parents saw the disease and died in front of me when I was a child, and there was nothing I could do. As for the study of the Tao, it is just an incidental to the study of medical skills. After all, Chinese medicine has a lot of Taoist charm.
This time I came to Nanshan Village, it was really a coincidence, as the old Taoist priest said. Lao Sun actually wanted to collect medicine in Zhongnan Mountain, but as soon as he walked to the boundary of Chang'an, he heard that there was a capable person in a village at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, who could sew people up as clothes, no matter how big the wound was, he could stop the bleeding at that time, and he turned around in a direction with curiosity before meeting the old Taoist priest who happened to return to the mountain. For Lao Sun, Wei Xuan's identity is not a problem at all, and that kind of magical needlework is the most important thing. In his eyes, the origin and inheritance that people in the Daomen regard as more important than anything else may not be as good as a new herb or a new treatment.
In fact, as he came into contact with more, Lao Sun also found that there was something really peculiar about this young man named Wei Xuan. In addition to the miraculous needlework and sutures, the brine salt turned into green salt, and the whimsical ideas that sometimes came out made Lao Sun fascinated. And what really made Lao Sun decide to stay with Wei Xuan for a while was the few tobaccos in Wei Xuan's hands. Lao Sun swore that he had never seen this strange plant in the past few decades. Thinking of the peppers, tomatoes, corn, and potatoes that Wei Xuan once inadvertently mentioned, Lao Sun suddenly had a very bold idea:
These things are true!
Wei Xuan had no choice but to watch Lao Sun take away his remaining half of the box of cigarettes, and then light them one after another in front of him, just to see what it looked like when it burned. This kind of heartache made Wei Xuan's tears almost burst out of his eyes. However, just half a month later, Lao Sun took a bundle of dried leaves of unknown plants and threw them in front of Wei Xuan, and said: "According to what you said, this 'smoke' is something from the other side of the sea, and Lao Dao naturally can't get it for you." But in the past two days, I found this thing in the mountains, and when it was dried, it was almost the same as the 'smoke'. It's just that you can't have too much at a time, otherwise it is easy to have dizziness, ghosting, and tinnitus sequelae, and it is okay to inhale less. ā
Wei Xuan was stunned when he heard the words, and after reacting, he hurriedly rolled a piece of straw paper, lit it and sucked it, and the tears came down at that time, and he admired Lao Sun more and more. Being able to find something similar to the taste of plants that could not appear in Datang at all in this barren mountain and wilderness, Lao Sun's ability is really extraordinary.
