Chapter 11 Burning the Medical Book
The girl's face was pale, the lines of her side face were soft and thin, and her slender fingers kept wrapping around the dark silk around her waist, not knowing what she was thinking.
Xuan Pu slowly sipped warm water, put the cup down again, and motioned to her, "Su Yan, you go and bring the medical book I wrote on the bookcase." ”
There are not many books on the bookcase, most of them are medical books written by doctors of this or previous dynasties.
However, the master didn't seem to like many of the medical books written by the so-called medical saints, most of them were thrown away at a glance, and the few remaining books on the bookcase were all left by her with a little approval.
Qin Miaoyan found the place familiarly, and handed Xuan Pu a booklet with a somewhat shabby thread binding and a blue cover.
Xuan Pu didn't answer.
"Chef Hua is crazy today, you can see it early in the morning, right?" She said.
Qin Miaoyan's heart jumped, and she nodded with her eyes down.
Xuan Pu said again: "You look for it, where is this disease recorded in the book." ”
The booklet was very thick, but Qin Miaoyan easily turned to the page that recorded madness.
Because after the master left in her previous life, she came back to the Taoist temple once and carried this medical book written by the master himself for a lifetime.
Therefore, all kinds of medical theories recorded in this book, and even the number of pages of the record of each disease, she can memorize and roll through and turn over at will.
Xuan Pu looked at the word "madness" on the booklet, and suddenly didn't know what it was like.
More than ten years ago, when she was living in the Guangji Taoist Temple, she began to compile this book, but so far, she has not come up with a name for this book, or rather, she has never thought of choosing a name for it.
Because she always believed that all the medical theories recorded in the book, although all true, did not come from her alone.
If so, why take possession alone?
She closed her eyes tiredly, pointed to the brazier by the kang, and said, "It's burning." ”
Qin Miaoyan was stunned and looked at Xuan Pu in disbelief.
What is the master talking about, why burn it?
She remembered that the master did not ask her to burn this medical book!
"You must have spent a lot of effort on this book in private, right?" Xuan Pu opened a pair of clear eyes and asked Qin Miaoyan gently.
She saw that if Su Yan hadn't read what this book was talking about, how could she see Hua Pozi's illness at a glance, and how could she find the place where this illness was remembered without thinking?
"Master."
Qin Miaoyan quickly suppressed the panic in her heart, she almost thought that the master had seen through her, it turned out that she was just ......, "Yes, all the contents of this book have been read by the apprentice." ”
She replied honestly.
"This book should not be passed on to the Hereafter." Hyun Pu looked calm.
"What I have written, whether it is medical science, rules for curing diseases, or poison arts, is a reason that people in the world today cannot understand, and I can rest assured that it is in your hands. But if it falls into the hands of people with bad intentions, I am afraid that there will be a great disaster! ”
At this, she sighed.
"In the past, I was always worried that you had only been with me for four years, and I wanted to teach you what I had learned all my life, but I was lucky to be a teacher, and my life was short, but I still had unfulfilled wishes......"
"Leaving this book, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for you, but now, my good apprentice, you have worked very hard, and you have written it down, and you can burn it for the teacher."
Xuan Pu gently pushed the book, and a circle of soot suddenly erupted around the brazier.
Soon, Qin Miaoyan looked at this medical book that had been with her for more than ten years, and turned into ashes in the tongue of fire of the demon.
It turned out that the master still had so many scruples before leaving, but after all, she still left this book for herself, just to protect her.
"You remember," Xuan Pu's tone was solemn, "if you can understand, you will understand, if you can't understand, don't die to understand." The things I teach you will not be ...... by everyone No, most of them will not be recognized by the world, but don't be afraid, you just need to remember what I taught you. ”
"Don't rely on your own strengths, but be a heart to save the suffering, a doctor, a person who is determined to be relieved, and only sincerity."
Xuan Pu looked at Qin Miaoyan and asked, "Su Yan, can you remember what the teacher told you?" ”
Qin Miaoyan has lived two lifetimes, and he thought that he had had had a lot of epiphanies when he died, but when he heard these words from the master, he still felt quite uncomfortable.
"Ambition for relief, only sincerity," she read out word by word, and replied with the discomfort in her heart: "Remember." ”
Xuan Pu smiled with relief, she really didn't see the wrong person, the little girl who used to like to hide in the corner and cry has finally grown up.
When she grows up, she can leave with peace of mind.
"Su Yan, over the years, you have been by my side, and you have also suffered you." Xuan Pu's smile was mixed with a bit of bitterness.
"What are you talking about, master?" Qin Miaoyan shook her head vigorously: "If the master hadn't taught me, I would still be a fool who didn't understand anything, and it was because of the master's teaching that I was where I am today." ”
Xuan Pu slowly raised Qin Miaoyan's dry and slender hands, and his eyes flashed gloomily.
"When you first came to the Taoist temple four years ago, your hands must not have been as withered as they are today, right? Your grandfather loved you very much, and I remember that your hands didn't have any calluses at all, but now ...... You have been by my side for all these years, I have been sick, some things, more than enough but not enough, Tang Pozi's various difficulties for you, I also know today. ”
"Master, I don't blame you." How could Qin Miaoyan look at the master and blame herself, she pulled out her hand and smiled hard.
It's clear that she's too cowardly.
"Su Yan, the master won't hide it from you, I don't have much time, and I have to leave Guangji. I once promised an old man, but I never failed her, and now I only want to use these few days to do the last thing for her. ”
At first glance, hearing the master say this, Qin Miaoyan only felt that his heartbeat had missed half a beat.
In the past, the master did tell her a few times, but she didn't know which old man the master was talking about, but now that the master is like this, where should she go when she leaves Guangji?
"The only thing that the master can't rest assured about is you. You are an orphan girl, and your temperament is very weak, what if you marry into the Fu family in the future? ”
As soon as he thought of this, Xuan Pu only felt that his heart was blocked.
"Master, you don't have to worry about me!"
Qin Miaoyan bit her lip, she didn't expect that before leaving, the master was still thinking about her, but she didn't want to be a burden to the master.
"Master, I've figured it out. Whether it's for myself or for the people I want to protect, I won't allow myself to be cowardly anymore...... But master, your illness is like this now, are you really, really not able to stay? Even if it's to recuperate! ”
Qin Miaoyan's eyes were very begging, Xuan Pu couldn't bear to look at it, she didn't look over, and after a long pause, she said: "My disease, I know it myself, it can't be cured." ”
Tuberculosis could not be cured in that era, let alone now.
"I owe that old man, she was so kind to me, but I couldn't really save her, I have been living secretly for decades, and I can't sleep well!"
Xuan Pu exhaled a cloudy breath, his eyes staring at the illusion in the air.
"Sometimes, you can't live just for yourself...... she muttered.
Qin Miaoyan suddenly realized, it turned out that the master was so similar to her.
Once upon a time, didn't she live in secret?
Seeing Poria cocos die of illness, she has no way, seeing that the truth of her parents' tragic death is in front of her, but her time is running out!
She still has a chance to live again, but what about her master?
Qin Miaoyan's hand shook and clenched, released, and clenched it tightly.
This is the master's only wish, and she shouldn't stop it because of love and reason.
