Chapter 20: Chanting the Scriptures
"Miss is in Xihai, this is Zhuyang, the two places are hundreds of miles apart, how can she get the same disease?"
Yu Cheng doesn't know much about these mysterious things, but since Zhang Xiaoxi fell ill, the Zhang family has also gone to a lot of Taoist priests, monks and the like, although there are mostly charlatans, but Yu Cheng, who serves Zhang Qingshan day and night, has been cultivated day and night after all these years, and he can understand some introductory jargon, and he is quite interested in these things.
After testing, Lin Ping was able to determine that Qi Zhuangzhuang's illness was the same as Zhang Xiaoxi's.
But as Yu Cheng said, the two are hundreds of miles apart, and it is impossible to get the same disease, even if it is a plague, there must be a transmission medium.
Zhang Xiaoxi began to fall ill after returning from here, and Qi Zhuangzhuang also got sick in the village, at least it means that the source of the disease should be in this village.
"It's not like the wind is in the body." Daoist Qian chattered endlessly: "The wind evil enters the body, the body is weak, the body is cold, the yin is exhausted, the face is snow-white and weak, and the situation is exactly the same as that recorded in the book, but why did the situation of excessive yang energy appear when I drank Lanxin grass water just now?" ”
Turning his head to look at Daoist Qian who came to his side, Lin Ping put the unconscious Qi Zhuangzhuang on the bed, covered the quilt, and put the things back in his bag.
"Dao Chief, you are an expert in this area, what do you think?"
This matter is strange inside and out, Lin Ping hasn't thought of a good solution for a while, and even said that the cause and source of the disease have not been found. However, looking at what Taoist Qian said, it seems to be in line with Taoist doctrine, and he should know something about this, and he is also in a hurry to go to the doctor, so he asked casually.
Daoist Qian frowned, took out three old copper coins from the pocket of his robe, and put them on Qi Zhuang's forehead. Lin Ping's eyes are sharp, and the seal on the copper coin is "Kaiyuan Tongbao", the surface is very smooth, and it seems to be the usual thing of Qian Taoist.
Seeing Daoist Qian take out the copper coin, Xu Jie rolled his eyes to make way for Daoist Qian and sat on a stool on the side. It's not that Xu Jie doesn't believe in these, it's just that there are too many charlatans who play these, and Xu Jie has been in the underground antique market all the year round.
Yu Cheng approached with interest, watched with relish, and asked Daoist Qian: "Daoist, is your move the Three Treasures asking God?" ”
Daoist Qian was stunned, turned his head to look at Yu Cheng, and his face was a little surprised: "You are also a Taoist?" Can you see that the Three Jewels ask God? ”
"Hehe, I'm not, I just saw it at Mr. Zhang's house." Yu Cheng said with a smile.
Lin Ping didn't understand these things, and stood aside to watch Daoist Qian fiddling with Taoism.
Daoist Qian took out a small wooden box from his robe and opened it carefully, which was cushioned with fine flannel cloth, and on the cloth was a small pinch of bright red cinnabar. Daoist Qian picked a little with the nail of his tail finger, evenly smoothed the square holes of the three pieces, and gently took off the copper coin.
"The Three Treasures have long been lost, and this is a little technique I learned from a wandering Taoist priest when I was young." After doing all this, Daoist Qian opened his mouth to explain.
After making it, the four of them gathered together and sat on a bench.
"Daoist, since you are a Taoist disciple, can you tell me what is going on from the perspective of a Taoist?" Lin Ping looked at Daoist Qian and asked.
"Heh, you misunderstood, in fact, I'm not a true Taoist, and I'm just eating with a mouth."
Qian Daoist smiled embarrassedly, Lin Ping's hand just now was obviously much smarter than him, even if he didn't confess, he would be timid after chatting a few words, if he was shaken out, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to mix in the village, and explained to Lin Ping: "When I was a teenager, my family was poor and came out to work, and I met two workers on the construction site, they claimed to be the descendants of Zhengyi, and I learned this skill from them at that time." The more I learned, the more fascinated I became, and I looked for Taoist apprentices everywhere, but at that time, there was no incense in the Taoist temple, eating and drinking were all problems, and there was still spare money for people to learn the Tao? So I learned a little bit from the east to the west, and I also knew a little bit of Taoist things, and then I couldn't get mixed up outside, so I asked for this dress in other people's Taoist temples and came back. I'm not afraid of your jokes, but I'm still a patchwork of my robe. ”
Hearing Daoist Qian say this, Lin Ping was a little disappointed, he thought that he could ask for some clues or methods from Daoist Qian, but he didn't expect it to be a fake.
"I'll just say, how can a Taoist priest fool people into cutting down trees? I saw that the big locust tree in front of the door was almost 100 years old, and it was worth tens of thousands of dollars. Xu Jie grinned and said: "You have to go, you are a fake Taoist, I am a fake doctor, don't laugh at the bald monk's hairless head, everyone is even." ”
"Still." Daoist Qian changed his words and said: "Although I am a fake Taoist, but I often read books on this subject, according to the book, this child is indeed the wind evil into the body, but why there is too much yang energy after supplementing yang, I really don't understand." ”
Lin Ping nodded, this was also what he didn't understand.
"At first, my judgment was that the wind evil entered the body, and all the symptoms were exactly the same as the wind evil entering the body, but after drinking Lanxin grass, I had a strong yang reaction, and I almost lost my life. It seems that it is necessary to start the investigation from this child, and to find the connection between the two of them, in order to find clues to cure the disease. Lin Ping nodded and pondered.
At this time, Qi Jianlin's voice came from outside the door: "Doctor Xu, Daochang Qian, let's have dinner when the meal is ready." ”
"Lin Ping, what will you say later?" Hearing Qi Jianlin's voice, Xu Jie thought of his identity as a doctor.
"Diagnosis" for so long, it can't be without any results, at least there must be an explanation, this matter was proposed by Lin Ping, of course, let Lin Ping make up this result.
Reason for editing? Lin Ping also had a headache, and at first he thought that if the "wind evil entered the body", it would be easy to do, and he could be cured by drinking some orchid grass water, but now it turned out to be the same strange disease as Zhang Xiaoxi, this matter is troublesome, and this reason is not easy to make up.
Seeing Lin Ping's embarrassed look, Daoist Qian took the initiative to bring it over, looked at Lin Ping and said, "That's it, wait a minute, I'll go and talk to Jianlin, I'll do a Dharma for them and chant the scriptures, so that you can also have a talk." However, since it's not the wind evil entering the body, the specific reason is that I can't cure this ability, but I see that your ability is not small, you can casually vent the yang and get Lanxin grass, I hope you can also help with this disease, okay? ”
Lin Ping was a little surprised, this Qian Taoist didn't seem to be all about money, and he also cared about other people's children.
Since Daoist Qian took the initiative to help relieve the siege, Lin Ping was relieved, and immediately agreed, saying, "Okay, then thank you Daoist." However, I still have to wait for this kid to wake up and ask him where he has been, and I guess I will have to wait here for a while, so please ask Daoist Qian to help us talk about it. ”
"Hehe, no problem." Daoist Qian agreed happily.
Opening the door, Xu Jie explained to Qi Jianlin that the disease was too difficult to treat, and it was not cured with a unique technique just now, and it was necessary to combine all aspects of Chinese and Western medicine and Taoism at the same time.
Xu Jie's eloquence was already very good, but now he is dressed elegantly and easy-going, and the words that come out of his mouth are very convincing, plus there is a Qian Taoist priest next to him, Qi Jianlin smiled and thanked him repeatedly.
Daoist Qian also said that he would do a ritual for the child to drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters, and also accumulate virtue for the Qi family and so on.
Qi Jianlin, who said these two people in a word, was confused, and kept nodding and saying yes, with a smile on his face, thinking that the child's illness must have been cured. At the moment, he took out a hundred yuan for his wife and went to the town to buy some braised vegetables and came back.
Lin Ping had eaten it all, and it was not easy to see this family, so he stopped him.
After eating dinner and resting for a while to slow down his stomach, Daoist Qian began to prepare the rituals in the Qi family hall.
Looking at what Daoist Qian took out, Lin Ping was convinced that he was really a fake Taoist.
took a piece of yellow paper and wrote Qi Zhuangzhuang's birthday eight characters, and pasted it under the portrait of Zhang Tianshi, the handwriting is beautiful and neat, it seems that Qian Daoist usually has no less effort. Another five buckets of rice were put out, each bucket was pressed with a copper coin, after doing these, the incense burner was taken, and the incense was respectfully offered to Zhang Tianshi, the dust in his left hand was shaking back and forth, and he held a palm-sized rattle in his right hand, which looked like a true Taoist, but when he heard the next words of Qian Daoist, Lin Ping and Xu Jie hurriedly turned their backs to the Qi family, afraid of being seen and couldn't help laughing.
"The three Qingdao Daoists are on top, and the disciples ask for blessings. One is to ask for the health of the family and no harm, the second is to ask the children and grandchildren not to do evil, and the third is to ask for treasure and longevity to be sent to the door······ Personally pass on the blessing and blessing, accumulate virtue and send sacrifices, there are sons who are strong and strong, and the evil spirits are haunted by suffering, ask for the Tao to respect the spiritual law, save the children······"
The singing is very good, and Daoist Qian's slightly hoarse voice sings it, and it doesn't sound bad about Internet saliva songs. It's this vague lyrics, if you don't listen carefully, you really can't hear what Daoist Qian is singing, anyway, Qi Jianlin and his wife lowered their heads behind with a reverent face, and that's enough.
