Chapter 344: A Taoist priest came from the south

Xie Baoshu and Jing Ning came to this big array.

Guarding here was the Xuanwu Guard, who checked the identities of the three people and read the disc before letting them go. Xie Baoshu passed through the formation, and only then did he see the current appearance of the Two Realms Mountain. A towering Great Wall was much taller than when Xie Baoshu left.

With such a high Great Wall, no matter how powerful the monster is, I am afraid it can be blocked.

Jing Ning was surprised: "This Great Wall is much taller than my true dragon body. ”

Xie Baoshu smiled slightly, and felt a familiar aura on the Two Realms Mountain. He walked along the wall, up to the wall, and there were a lot of people here. But the Great Wall is big and very open. Xie Baoshu looked at them while going up.

The sky is full of demon clans, and they attack with each step, which is simply covering the sky and the sun.

Among them, there were some tall monsters, and they roared, attacking the Two Realms Mountain step by step. Because they felt that the man's breath was weakening little by little.

At this time, a Taoist priest suddenly appeared on the south side of the Great Wall.

The Taoist priest's cultivation is very high, and standing with the real person who carries the water, he flies up against the wind and says loudly: "Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, defend my Datang." Today's Daomen monks, Netherworld True People, send you a big array!"

After speaking, a large array that covered the sky and the sun lit up behind him, and the monsters that stayed in the formation, all of them were killed by the divine thunder.

Xie Baoshu was very surprised, didn't he say okay, the monks of the Daomen, don't care about the Tang Dynasty? Could it be that in addition to the real person who carried the water, there were other people who came to the Two Realms Mountain?

Someone on the side explained that this Netherworld real person is also a Tang person.

And he is also the king of medicine, the descendant of Sun Simiao.

I see.

Before Liu Guanshan appeared, the Daomen of the Tang Dynasty was still very developed.

Datang has no subjective religious beliefs, and it has embraced many religious schools with strong self-confidence and tolerance.

There are many sects in the Tang Dynasty, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism have become a three-legged trend at this time, as well as foreign Nestorian Christianity, Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism, etc., which have been rejected and suppressed to varying degrees in the birthplace, but they have been courteous and respected in the Tang Dynasty.

Buddhism was introduced to China from the Han Dynasty and reached its peak during the Tang Dynasty.

Tang Xuanzang set off to the west to learn scriptures, and Tang Taizong Li Shimin sent him off with wine, and worshiped him as a brother, calling Xuanzang "royal brother". Taizong Yuzhi picked up a pinch of dust, flicked it into the wine, and Yin Yin entrusted: "The days are long, the mountains are far away, and the royal brother can enter this wine: I would rather love a twist of soil in my hometown, and I don't love ten thousand taels of gold in another country."

One morning many years ago, the atmosphere of the Chinese culture in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was solemn, and a grand ceremony was being held here. Shi Dian was originally a ceremony for the imperial court to worship the ancestor Confucius, but this ceremony was extraordinary.

Because the participants in this ceremony were not only Dr. Xu Wenyuan and Dr. Lu Deming, who were the great Confucian scholars of the current generation, but also Tang Gaozu specially invited representatives of Buddhism and Taoism: Shamen Huicheng of Chang'an Shengguang Temple and Shamen Daoyue of Puguang Temple, and Qingxuguan Taoist Liu Jinxi and Li Zhongqing.

During this period, the three masters Liu Jinxi, Xu Wenyuan and Huicheng successively ascended to the throne to give lectures, and then debated with each other, and the atmosphere was extremely warm. Learn, ponder, struggle, integrate. Various religions such as Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism achieved unprecedented prosperity and development during the Tang Dynasty.

It's a country of sorts. From the order of various occasions, it can be seen that different characters and the groups and forces they represent have the priority in the hearts of the masters. From the order of this lecture on the three religions, it is foreseeable that the local Taoism will receive more support from the Li and Tang dynasties. This is exactly the case, and although Taoism has always been weak in the face of Buddhism, it became the state religion of the Tang Dynasty.

Datang attaches great importance to the Buddha, why does he take the Tao as the state religion, because the Tao is the culture of the native native country, so he takes Taoism as the state religion, because of Lao Tzu's thought. There is another one, to be specific, from a microscopic point of view, Lao Tzu's surname is Li, the ancestor of the Li family in the Tang Dynasty, some people say that Li Yuan in order to raise the family, posthumously recognized Lao Tzu as an ancestor, so Taoism is called the state religion.

The cause can be traced back to the rise of the peasant uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty, when the folk circulated the ballad of "Lao Tzu lives the world, and the Li family is the king", Li Yuan said that the emperor repeatedly declared that "the Li family will prosper, and Tianzuo will respond", which means that it is the will of God for the Li family to dominate the world.

Li Shimin inherited his father's statement and more clearly declared that he was a descendant of Lao Tzu Li Er. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty issued an edict to continue to place Taoism above Buddhism, and further consolidated the position of Taoism as the state religion of the Tang Dynasty by means of political power.

Tang Gaozong held the first Zen ceremony since Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty in Mount Tai, and this ceremony was shrouded in a faint Taoist color. Just after the ceremony, Gaozong ordered every state in the country to have a temple and a temple, which was the first time in history that Taoism had a state-supported palace network across the country.

Tang Gaozong, who came down from Mount Tai, made a special detour to Guyang County, Bozhou, the hometown of Lao Tzu, and renamed it Zhenyuan County. He officially posthumously honored Lao Tzu as the "Emperor Taishang Xuanyuan", established an ancestral temple, and sent officials to carry out daily management. From then on, Taoism had a more special place in the Tang Dynasty religion.

Tang Xuanzong also respected Taoism, Tang Xuanzong personally dedicated the Taiqing Palace in Chang'an, and posthumously honored Lao Tzu as: the Great Sage Ancestor Gao Shang Dao Jinque Xuanyuan Emperor the Great, the pursuit of Taoism and fanaticism reached an unprecedented height.

During the period of Xuanzong, the Taiqing Palace in Laozi's hometown also received the attention of the state, it is said that it covers an area of eight hectares and seventy-two acres at that time, around forty miles, the scale reached its peak, Qionglou Yuyu, golden and brilliant, comparable to the royal palace.

It was an era before Liu Kanshan, and a Taoist named Sun Simiao appeared, and the Daomen had many believers in the Tang Dynasty.

One Sun Simiao can be worth hundreds of real people.

Sun Simiao was born in the Western Wei Dynasty for seven years, self-proclaimed "young by the wind cold, repeatedly made medical doors, decoction of medicine, exhausted family property", Sun Simiao was thirsty for learning in his childhood, extensive knowledge, but later suffered from illness, often asked doctors for treatment, spent a lot of family wealth, so, he was determined to practice medicine.

Sun Simiao is a young man who is good to read, talented and intelligent, when he was seven years old, he knew more than 1,000 words, and he could recite thousands of words of articles every day.

At the age of eighteen, he decided to study medicine, "quite conscious and enlightened, and he has benefited people who have diseases and misfortunes in their neighbors and countries." At the age of twenty, he was able to talk eloquently about the doctrines of Lao Tzu and Zhuangzi, and was known as the "Holy Child" in the classics of the Jing Dao family, and began to treat the diseases of his neighbors.

When Emperor Jing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yang Jian was in charge of the government and summoned Sun Simiao to be Dr. Guozi.

In the first year of Emperor Kaihuang of the Sui Dynasty, seeing that there were many state affairs, Sun Simiao lived in seclusion in Taibai Mountain. On the one hand, he devoted himself to the study of medical works, and on the other hand, he personally collected herbs and studied pharmacology. Conscientiously study ancient medical books such as "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", and "Shennong's Materia Medica".

At the same time, he has widely collected the prescriptions circulated among the people, and has been enthusiastic about treating people's diseases, and has accumulated a lot of valuable clinical experience. From theory to practice, and then from practical experience to refine new medical research results, he devoted his life to writing the medical works "Qianjin Yao Fang" and "Qianjin Yifang".

The king of medicine, Sun Simiao, attaches great importance to the prevention of diseases, stresses the view of prevention first, adheres to the method of syndrome differentiation and treatment, and believes that if people are good at life, they should be free from disease. As long as "a good doctor guides him with medicine and saves him with injections", "there are curable diseases in the body, and there are disasters that can be eliminated in heaven and earth".

He also proposed that "survival does not forget death, safety does not forget danger", emphasizing that "it is better to regulate qi, tonify laxatives, massage and guide every day, and do not take health as a matter of course." He advocated paying attention to personal hygiene, attaching importance to sports and health care, and put forward the idea of disease prevention and treatment combining dietary therapy, drug therapy, health preservation, nourishment, and health care.

Sun Simiao also studied acupuncture and moxibustion, and wrote "Mingtang Acupuncture and Moxibustion", which uses acupuncture as an adjunct therapy to medicine. He believes that "the way of good medicine is to first diagnose the pulse and prescribe it, followed by acupuncture, and help each other internally and externally, so that the disease must be cured." "Actively advocate comprehensive treatment of the disease.

In the process of researching medicine, Sun Simiao mixed sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal into powder, which was used to make alchemy.

Sun Simiao also summarized the diagnosis and treatment methods of good doctors: "The courage is big but the heart is small, the wisdom is round and the action is the prescription." "Boldness" means to have the confidence and temperament of a martial artist; "small heart" means to be as cautious and cautious as walking on thin ice and landing on the edge of a cliff; "Zhiyuan" means to be flexible and changeable in the face of trouble, not to be rigid, and to have the ability to control the enemy's opportunity first; and "Xingfang" means not to be greedy for fame and profit, and to have an open world in one's heart. ”

"A Thousand Golden Prescriptions" Sun believes that "human life is the most important, there are precious thousand gold, one party is beneficial, and virtue is more than this", so his two works are named "Thousand Gold" Eryu, named "Thousand Gold Prescription".

Sun Simiao attaches great importance to medical ethics, regardless of "the rich and the poor, the young and the old, the relatives and friends, and the foolishness of Huayi". It is said that "human life is the most important, and there are precious daughters". He believes that doctors must take the relief of patients' suffering as their sole duty, and the others should be "without desire or desire", treating patients equally "as supreme" and "Huayi is foolish and wise, and universal is the same".

He practiced what he preached, went to the rescue wholeheartedly, did not seek fame and fortune, and spent his whole life to realize his Taoist medical ethics thought, and was the founder of Chinese medical ethics thought. In Sun Simiao's famous book "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions", he also put the medical ethics norm of "great medical sincerity" in an extremely important position, and set up a special topic and focused on discussion. And he himself is also one of the representatives of cultivating nature with virtue, cultivating body with virtue, and cultivating virtue and art.

Sun Simiao has noble medical ethics, and everything is based on treating diseases and saving people. He cared about the suffering of the people, thought about the patients everywhere, and treated those who came to seek medical treatment, regardless of whether they were high or low, rich or poor, old and young, close and distant, and treated each other equally. He went out to heal the sick, day and night, without avoiding cold and heat, regardless of hunger, thirst and fatigue, and went all out.

During clinical practice, he should concentrate on his mind, be conscientious and responsible, do not engage in haste and do not engage in hasty work, do not consider personal gains and losses, do not dislike dirty and filthy, and concentrate on rescue.

In particular, he advocated that when doctors treat diseases, they should not take the opportunity to ask for money, but should have no desires. His noble medical ethics are indeed a model for future generations, and for more than a thousand years, he has been praised by everyone and respected as the "King of Medicine".

Sun Simiao does not use animals as medicine. He said: "Since ancient times, famous sages have cured diseases, and used their lives to help the critical, although they are said to be cheap animals and nobles, as for the love of life and animals. Harm the other and benefit oneself, and the situation is the same as others, and the husband kills to survive, and goes to live farther. I am here so I don't use life as medicine, and I am good from this. ”

Sun Simiao made so many significant contributions to the medical industry during his lifetime, but when he was dying, he made a will "bury thinly, do not hide the Ming utensils, and sacrifice to the prison". This spirit is very valuable. He was deeply loved and admired by the people.

The people of his hometown built a temple and erected a monument to him, and renamed the "Wutai Mountain" where he had lived in seclusion as "Yaowang Mountain". There are still many historical sites about Sun Simiao on the mountain, such as "Yaowang Temple", "Baizhentai", "Taixuan Cave", "Thousand Golden Treasure Monument", "Medicine Washing Pool" and so on.

When Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, was living in seclusion in Taibai Mountain, he "practiced qi and nourished his spirits and sought the art of living the world". He has a long period of meticulous research on medicine, and always has a benevolent heart, personally collecting medicines, treating people's diseases, and helping people with medicine. As a monk, he pursued the principle of "all actions, practice yin virtue, and contribute to things".

Many well-known people at that time worshipped him as a teacher and were willing to be his students. Lu Zhaolin, one of the famous poets of the "Four Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty", said in his "Preface to the Sick Pear Tree" that Sun Simiao "combines the ancient and modern, learns the art of mathematics", "pushes the steps of A and B, and measures the Qiankun".

When Lu Zhaolin wrote "The Preface to the Sick Pear Tree", Sun Simiao was already in his nineties. But his eyes and ears showed no signs of age, and his body was strong and clear. When Wei Zheng was edicted by the emperor to compile the history of the five dynasties of Qi, Liang, Chen, Zhou, and Sui, he was worried that there would be omissions, so he visited Sun Simiao many times. Sun Simiao taught it orally, as clearly as if he had seen it in person.

At that time, Lu Zhaolin was famous, but unfortunately he was seriously ill, and he lamented that everyone's experience was different, and people's life expectancy was so disparity. So he asked Sun Simiao: "What is the reason for the famous doctor to cure the disease?"

Sun Simiao replied: "I have heard that those who are good at talking about heaven must be determined by the nature of this person, and those who are good at talking about people must be based on the principles of heaven. There are four changes in the sky, the operation of the five elements, and the alternation of cold and heat. When it moves, harmony is rain, anger is wind, condensation is frost and snow, and stretching is rainbow.

This is the law of heaven and earth. People have limbs and five internal organs, and when they wake up and sleep, they breathe and breathe, and the cycle repeats. The flow is the glory of the guard, the appearance is the complexion, and the hair is the voice. This is the law of the human body. Yang uses its essence, yin uses its shape, this is the same place for heaven and man.

When this normal phenomenon is lost, steaming will generate heat, otherwise it will be cold, and it will become warts, and it will become carbuncles, and it will be wheezing and exhausted. The disease is on the surface, but the lesion is in the body. The same can be said of this principle to heaven and earth.

Therefore, the five latitudes are shrinking, the stars are out of measure, the sun and the moon are wrong, and the comets are flying, which is a critical disease of heaven and earth. From time to time, the cold and heat are not steaming. The stone stands on the soil, and the wart of this heaven and earth is also redundant.

Legend has it that once while on the road, Sun Simiao saw a shepherd boy killing a small snake, and the snake was already injured and bleeding. Sun Simiao begged the shepherd boy not to kill it, and took off his clothes to give them to the shepherd boy, redeeming the little snake. Then he wrapped the snake in medicine and put it back in the grass.

More than a month later, Sun Simiao went out for a walk again, and saw a young man in white, whose servants and horses were very strong, and dismounted to meet him, and thanked him and said, "The little brother has saved his life by the Taoist, and Sun Simiao didn't mind after hearing this." The boy worshipped him again and asked him to ride another horse.

The two horses galloped like a fly, and came to a place where the city was located. There are abundant flowers and trees, a beautiful spring scene, a splendid courtyard, and a complex number of characters, just like the residence of a king. It turned out that the little snake saved by Sun Simiao was the son of the Dragon King, and that was the "Jingyang Cave Mansion" where the Dragon Palace was located.

In order to repay Sun Simiao for saving his son, the Dragon King wanted to give him a lot of gold and jewelry when he left, but Sun Simiao resolutely refused. When the dragon king saw that he did not love wealth and wealth, he asked his son to take out thirty prescriptions from the dragon palace and give them to him, and told him: "This is the true prescription, which can help the world and save people."

After Sun Simiao returned home, he tried every prescription and found that it all had miraculous effects. Later, when Sun Simiao wrote the thirty volumes of his own prescription book "Qianjin Fang", he scattered the prescriptions of the Dragon Palace in it.

Monk Xuanzhao cultivated in the White Magpie Valley of Songshan Mountain, and his conduct was strict, and he was promoted as the first among the monks. He vowed to teach the Lotus Sutra a thousand times for the benefit of all sentient beings. After the lecture in the mountains, although the cold and heat are impermanent, and the mountain roads are treacherous, there are always no absentees who come to listen to the scriptures.

At that time, there were three old men, with all white eyebrows and beards, and their appearance was unusual, and they listened to the lecture reverently. After listening to this for many days, Xuan Zhao felt strange. Suddenly, one day, three old men came to see Xuanzhao early in the morning.

They said, "Our three disciples, in fact, are dragons, and we have our own duties, and it is also very hard, and it will be thousands of years in the future." I can hear your subtle words, there is nothing to repay, maybe you have something we need to do, and we are willing to do our part. ”

Xuan Zhao: "Now that yin and yang are out of balance, there is drought and little rain, and there is famine in the country, you can make some rain to save the people of the world." This is the wish of the poor monk. ”

The three old men said: "It was a trivial matter to gather clouds and rain. It's just that the ban on rain is absolutely serious, and the crime of not obeying the orders of heaven to do rain without permission is not small, and there is a fear for life! Let's try to say a way, and it will almost succeed, I wonder if the elders can do it?"

Xuan Zhao said: "Then you tell me about it!"

The three old men said: "Sun Simiao's priest of Shaomu Mountain is highly virtuous, and he will definitely be able to relieve his disciple's calamity, so it will rain immediately." ”

Xuan Zhao: "The poor monk knows that Sun Shishi is in the mountains, but he doesn't know his Taoism, how can he be like this?"

The third old man: "Sun Gong's benevolence and righteousness are immeasurable. The heart of benevolence and righteousness is attached to the prescription of the world for the benefit of all generations. His fame has been registered in the Heavenly Palace, and he is really a master in the world. If he can speak to save him, there is no problem. As long as the elder makes an appointment with him first, and if he agrees, he will do as you say immediately. ”

So they told Xuan Zhao the way to save him.

Xuanzhao went to Sun Simiao's residence, sincerely worshipped, and the number of human favors and etiquette was particularly cautious, and he sat down for a long time before saying: "Sun Shishi has a virtuous and wise temperament, and takes it as his responsibility to help the common people. I hope you will be gracious and save the people of the world. ”

Sun Simiao replied: "I don't have the ability to escape into the mountains, so how can I help people? If there is anything I can give to the people, I promise that I will not be stingy." ”

Xuan Zhao: "The poor monk met three dragons yesterday and asked them to rain a little, and they all said that they did not follow the orders of the Emperor of Heaven to rain without authorization, and the crime of killing their heads was not light, and only Sun Chushi had great merit and could save them." I have come to express my wishes, and I ask the priest to consider them. ”

Sun Simiao: "As long as it can be done, I have nothing to regret." ”

Xuan Zhao: "When it rained, the three dragons escaped their culpability and threw themselves into the shade of the pond behind the priest's dwelling. When an alien came to capture them, the priest explained to the visitor, sent him away, and the three dragons would be absolved. ”

Sun Simiao agreed. Xuanzhao returned to the mountain and met three old men on the road, and Xuanzhao told them what Sun Simiao meant. They made an appointment for a day and a night, and it rained as scheduled, drenching and moistening thousands of miles.

The next day, Xuan Zhao came to see Sun Simiao, and between the words, there was a strange-looking person, who came directly to the pool behind him, muttering a mantra, and after a while, the pool froze, and immediately three otters came out of the pool, and the man tied up the three otters with red ropes and wanted to take them away.

Sun Simiao stepped forward and beckoned: "The sin of these three things should be put to death." But I let them do the rain without permission, and I hope to spare them, and ask me to intercede with the Emperor on my behalf, and not punish them. ”

When the man heard these words, he untied the ropes, let them go, and took the ropes with his own hands. After a while, the three old men thanked Sun Simiao, not knowing how to reward him. Sun Simiao said: "I live in the valley, I don't need anything, I don't need to repay. ”

The three old men turned around and visited Xuanzhao again, wanting to serve him. Xuan Zhao replied: "Living in the mountains, one is to eat, the other is to wear, and there is nothing else needed, no reward." Unable to withstand the repeated requests of the three old men, Xuan Zhao said: "The front mountain is blocking the road, and it is very inconvenient to come and go, can you move it away?"

The three old men said, "This is a trivial matter, as long as you don't blame the wind and thunder for being too big, you can do it right away." That night there was thunder and a strong wind, and in the morning the wind and rain stopped. The hill in front of the temple was gone, and suddenly it was bright, and it was flat for several miles, and the three old men came again and thanked them.

There are many portraits of Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, who has a simple image, strong spirits, and a childish face. Sun Simiao almost lost his life because he had a serious illness when he was a child, and after he recovered from his illness, he decided to study medicine. He was diligent and studious, and at a very young age, he was already proficient in ancient medicine.

Later, he devoted himself to the research of pharmacy and had a profound accomplishment. "The Prescription of a Thousand Golds" is his masterpiece. This book covers a wide range of fields, with profound insights into medical theories such as physiology, diagnosis, and medicine, as well as some of the medical techniques of surgery. He has made great contributions to the development of traditional Chinese medicine.

During his lifetime, Sun Simiao was revered as a miracle doctor, and his reputation for treating patients was very high, and there were often miracles of resurrection.

At the end of April every year, everyone rushes to the Yaowang temple fair and goes to burn incense and worship. Those pharmacies and people who run the medicinal herb business worship the king of medicine every year, hoping that the king of medicine will help their pharmaceutical industry to develop

There is a folk legend that there is a god who came down from heaven to relieve the pain of the people, also called Sun Simiao. It is said that Sun Simiao is not only good at saving people, but also saves some birds and beasts, and gets some good prescriptions from birds and beasts to save the sick and heal people.

Also, the tiger thing.

Sun Simiao kept a donkey, and when he usually went to the mountains to collect medicine or went to a distant place to treat the masses of diseases, he would catch up with this donkey to carry medicine bags and medicinal materials for him; when he was sleepy, he rode on a donkey to travel. He loved the donkey so much that he couldn't live without it.

One summer, he and his apprentice drove the donkey to Wutai Mountain, not far from his hometown, to collect medicinal herbs. When he came to the mouth of a valley, he found that there were many medicinal herbs, so he tied the donkey to a tree, and then went into the ravine to collect medicine.

They had not gone for a short time, when suddenly a tiger screamed, ran out of the pine forest, pounced on the donkey, crushed the donkey with its two front paws, opened its bloody mouth, and ate the donkey.

When Sun Simiao and his apprentices rushed to hear the sound, the tiger had already run away without a trace, only to see a blur of flesh and blood on the ground, leaving a large pile of donkey bones. This donkey was eaten by a tiger, how can a large pile of medicinal herbs collected at the moment be transported back?

What will we do in the future to collect medicine and go to the doctor? Sun Simiao was very angry.

Strange to say, the tiger that had eaten the donkey did not walk much and slowly walked back. It stood in front of Sun Simiao, lowered its head, its eyes showed a pleading look, blood flowed from the corners of its mouth, and it looked like a cat.

Sun Simiao observed in detail for a while and saw that the tiger had been injured and had come to him for treatment. But he knew that the tiger had eaten his donkey, and Sun Simiao was very angry, so he ignored it, turned around and walked into the distance.

But the tiger followed him, with tears streaming down his eyes, and it seemed that the pain in his throat was unbearable.

Sun Simiao saw that the tiger was remorseful, so he asked his apprentice to see what was wrong in the tiger's mouth. The apprentice walked up to the tiger and released the doctor's bell. Stretching the tiger's mouth open, I looked closely, and it turned out that a bone pick was pierced on the throat wall of the tiger, and blood kept flowing outward. Sun Simiao reached into a hand from the tiger's mouth and quickly took out the bone pick.

After the tiger's injuries were cured, Sun Simiao pointed at the tiger and reprimanded: "You evil beast, you have eaten my donkey and been stabbed in the throat by a bone pick, but you have inflicted your own suffering. I didn't want to heal you, but when I saw that you were in unbearable pain and remorse, I cured you. You go now!"

The tiger walked a short distance, then came back and lay down in front of Sun Simiao, making a posture for Sun Simiao to ride.

Sun Simiao and his apprentice saw the tiger's expression, and after thinking for a while, they understood. The apprentice said to the tiger, "If you are willing to carry medicine for my master instead of a donkey, nod your head three times."

As soon as he finished speaking, the tiger really nodded three times. So, the apprentices put the medicinal herbs they had collected on the tiger's back. The tiger looked at Sun Simiao at this time, but still didn't leave. The apprentice said to it again, "Do you still want to carry the master with you?"

After hearing this, the tiger nodded three more times. Sun Simiao saw that the tiger was willing to carry him, so he rode on the tiger's back. Only then did the tiger stand up and strode forward. Since then, this tiger has often carried medicine bags and medicinal materials to Sun Simiao, and let him ride on his back to various places to treat people. Sometimes they encountered bandits and beasts in the deep mountains and forests, and because the tiger followed, the bandits and beasts did not dare to come and harm them.

Now, there is still a place called "Tiger Ping" on Yaowang Mountain in Yaozhou. Legend has it that this is where Sun Simiao saved the tiger. Later, when people made a statue of Sun Simiao, they always had to make a tiger lying next to Sun Simiao, which is the reason.

Sun Simiao has studied medicine with his teacher in the mountains for many years, and has won the praise of his master and the true inheritance of his master. When he said goodbye to his master and went down the mountain, he warned him: "There is a certain number of things in the world, good and bad, don't let the temporary difficulties kill the desire to help the world and save people, if you don't change your original intention, you will achieve great success." ”

After descending the mountain, Sun Simiao carefully followed the master's teachings and devoted himself to healing people. Wherever he went, not only could he not cure the disease, but as soon as he made a move, the sick died! He was blamed and abused, and later, the people simply disliked him and drove him away as if he were running away from the plague.

One day, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and went up the mountain to confide in his master. Master said, "I know what you have suffered, this is a process, and when your straw sandals grow to eight and a half pounds, it will be time to run." ”

Going down the mountain again, Sun Simiao experienced the same encounter again. Although things did not go well, he was not discouraged or discouraged.

One day, he walked through a waterlogged pond, and his straw sandals were almost torn. Finally getting out of the pond, he leaned against a big tree, tied the tattered straw sandals with flexible grass, and then continued to put them on. These straw sandals have become fat and heavy because of the constant repair and weaving.

Suddenly, a funeral procession passed by with the sound of crying, and the coffin that was carried was dripping with blood. Sun Simiao approached to carefully observe the bloodstains, and immediately chased after him and shouted: "Stop! Stop! People are still saved, people are still saved, people are still saved......

The coffin bearer ignored him, thinking that it was unlucky to put down the coffin on the way out of the funeral. Sun Simiao had no choice but to follow along, and said: "There is a woman inside, who died of dystocia." Not only was the child not born, but the mother also bled incessantly. Hurry up and put down the coffin! The mother can still be saved! Otherwise, it will be too late!"

When the person carrying the coffin heard this, how would he know?

So he put down the coffin and opened it for him to heal. I saw Sun Simiao take out a silver needle, find the acupuncture point and pierce it, and then twist the needle with his hand to increase the strength. After a while, the "dead" mother opened her eyes and woke up with an "ah" sound, and immediately heard the cry of a baby, and the fetus in her womb was born! Both the mother and the child were saved!

So Sun Simiao was invited home by the mother's family, and the whole family thanked and worshipped, not knowing how to treat him to repay the life-saving grace. The next day, Sun Simiao insisted on leaving, and the whole family couldn't keep it, so they sent some silver money as a thank you gift, but Sun Simiao refused to accept it, and only accepted a new pair of straw sandals. His family wanted to throw away the old straw sandals, but Sun Simiao was reluctant, so he looked for a scale and measured them, and the straw sandals were exactly eight and a half catties.

The story of a silver needle saving two lives soon spread. Since then, Sun Simiao's medical treatment has really been eliminated, and the miracle of "straw sandals miracle doctor" has become more and more widespread.

As a doctor, he can not only be praised by the supreme emperor, but also respected and commemorated by future generations.

Tang Taizong praised it and said: Dig the path and open the road, the famous doctor: the three saints of the wings, and the four times of harmony. Descend the dragon and subdue the tiger, save the decrepit and save the danger; majestic and dignified, the teacher of a hundred generations. Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty named Sun Simiao as "Miaoying Zhenren". Later generations of folk honored Sun Simiao as the "King of Medicine".

During the reign of Tang Zhenguan, Taizong Li Shimin's eldest grandson, Empress Empress, was pregnant for more than ten months but could not give birth, but was seriously ill and bedridden. Although he has been treated by many doctors, his condition has not improved. Taizong was worried about this every day, and he was restless.

He was recommended by the minister Xu Maogong and summoned Sun Simiao into the palace. However, in ancient China, there was a ritual of "men and women are not kissed", and the imperial doctor could not get close to the women in the palace when he saw a doctor, and could only diagnose and treat according to the oral instructions of others.

Because Sun Simiao is a folk doctor and wears coarse cloth clothes, of course, he can't get close to the queen's "phoenix body". Therefore, on the one hand, he called the palace lady beside the queen to inquire about the condition, and on the other hand, he asked the imperial doctor to carefully review the medical records and prescriptions. Based on these circumstances, he analyzed and studied them, and basically grasped the queen's condition.

Then he took out a red thread and asked Cai Nu to tie the thread on the queen's right wrist, and pull one end out of the bamboo curtain. In a moment, Sun Simiao finished the queen's pulse. It turned out that Sun Simiao had exerted his magical powers, and he could easily diagnose the beating of the human pulse by relying only on the transmission of a thin wire.

In the early years of Zhenguan, Tang Taizong was trapped on a mountain by the enemy in a battle to resist the invasion of foreign invaders. When he was drinking in the waterhole on the mountain, he was dizzy because of his physical fatigue, and the reflection of the dragon jade ornament on his head reflected in the water saw it as a small snake, and after that, he always suspected that he had swallowed the little snake when he was drinking.

After the class teacher returned to the court, the more he thought about it, the more nauseous he felt, and then vomited, which turned out to be an illness. Several doses of medicine in the palace have not worked. Wei Zheng had to invite Sun Simiao to treat him. Sun Simiao saw that Tang Taizong's face was not sick, and there was no foreign body in his abdomen.

After asking about the cause, he thought hard: if the snake swallowed the stomach, the symptoms should be more serious, but now it is just a hallucination, and it is really a mental illness.

So Sun Simiao first prescribed a calming medicine to Tang Taizong, and then brought the hat that Tang Taizong wore when he went on the expedition, asked people to bring a basin of water, and then asked Tang Taizong to come to watch. Tang Taizong saw the reflection of a dragon pattern in the basin, and suddenly realized, and immediately eliminated the doubts in his heart, and the illness was cured.

Sun Simiao not only cured countless patients, but also left many magical legends of the dragon saving the tiger and the alien Dejia because of his good cultivation and noble medical ethics.

In the middle of the night during a thunderstorm, there was a knock on the wooden door of Sun Simiao's thatched hut under a high mountain cliff. When he opened the door, he saw a white-clothed showman standing at the door, and the sky was thundering and lightning, and the rain was pouring down, and it was strange that the white-clothed showman's clothes were not dripping!

Sun Simiao asked him, "Do you want to see a disease?"

The white-clothed Xiushi hurriedly nodded yes. Sun Simiao let him into the room and sat down to cut his pulse, and then said, "You are not human, right?" The white-clothed Xiushi was stunned for a moment, and then calmed down and replied: "How can you see it?"

Sun Simiao smiled slightly: "If you come, there will be lightning and thunder, storm and rain to help, and quiet will be wind, thunder and lightning holographic." Your clothes don't get wet in the rainstorm, and your veins all show peculiar properties. If my guess is correct, you must be the Jujube Divine Dragon of the Water Mansion, right?"

The white-clothed Xiushi nodded again and again after hearing this, and said, "No wonder the real person's name knows everything in heaven and earth." It's really famous, but it's not worth it!"

After speaking, he introduced his illness: "A few days ago, I was so hungry that I didn't want to eat or drink, and I didn't know what blocked my esophagus. So for several days, he could only drink some thin soup to maintain his life. ”

After hearing this, Sun Simiao asked the boy to carry a bucket of decoction and put it in front of the white-clothed Xiushi, urging him to drink it as soon as possible, and not to rest in the middle, otherwise the disease would be difficult to treat. When the white-clothed showman heard this, he hurriedly picked up the bucket and poured the bucket of decoction into his stomach in one breath.

There was a churn in the stomach, and the throat felt unbearable, so he immediately lowered his head, and with a "wow" sound, he vomited on the bucket. When the white-clothed man was shocked to see that there was a long snake mixed in among the dirt that he vomited, he praised it from the bottom of his heart: "The real elixir is indeed a hand to cure the disease!"

Sun Simiao said "haha" and said: "What a panacea, it's just a bucket of vinegar mixed with garlic, sour and spicy, the snake naturally can't stay." He paused, and then said, "Although your illness is eradicated and your vitality has not recovered, I will prick you with another needle, and you can get rid of it once and for all." ”

The old dragon listened and even said yes.

Sun Simiao immediately walked behind the white-clothed Xiushi, took out a golden needle more than a foot long, aimed at the position behind his heart, and stabbed it violently. The white-clothed Xiushi roared, and immediately turned into a prototype jujube, a silver-light scale-scale bucket-thick dragon.

The paralyzed was hunched on the ground and couldn't move. The pair of big silver lamp-like eyes looked at Sun Simiao fixedly. Sun Simiao said: "When I pull out the golden needle, you will soar towards the stone wall in the house." If you can pass through the rock wall of this mountain and rise into the clouds, your vitality will truly recover. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled out the golden needle from the dragon's body, and shouted, "Quickly pass through the stone rock!" The white dragon twisted and rushed towards the stone rock. Soon disappeared into the stone wall.

But since then, a huge hole has been left in the stone wall.

After a while, the voice of the white-clothed Xiushi came from the air: "The real Degas is an outlier, an example of the gods." I will return to the house immediately, prevent floods and droughts, and benefit mankind forever!" Sun Simiao opened the door, only to see a lightning bolt in the sky, and the white dragon's body shook in the clouds and disappeared into the vast sky.

Sun Simiao is known as Sun Zhenren, and naturally has a lot of followers in Datang.

Later, when Liu Guanshan was in power, he expelled all the Daomen and the Tang Dynasty. Although this was done, some Taoist temples were left, as well as monks.

Otherwise, where did Xie Baoshu see those real people?

This Netherworld True Man is Sun Simiao's disciple.

This time, under the pressure of the Dao Gate, like a real person carrying water, he came to the Two Realms Mountain.

He's a qualified Don!

Xie Baoshu admired it very much.
