Volume 1 Corpse Mountain Ghost Grass Chapter 6 Taisu
These two times are extremely sharp, it is said that the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate should not be so vulnerable, but if today's turmoil, the heroes are divided, but all the soldiers with some martial arts have been incorporated into their own team, and now the people who watch the city gate are only the ordinary people recruited by the local officials.
After leaving the city, we were on the narrow official road, the night wind blew, and I felt a chill, and immediately felt a lot more sober, remembering what had just happened, like a nightmare, I pinched myself fiercely, it hurt, it hurts, but I think that all this is not true, and I am still happy in the free house!
I can't figure it out, two hours ago, I was still in the Xiaoyao Fang like a fairy, but at this time, I was like a beggar, anxious like a fish that slipped through the net, panicked like a lost dog, "escape", thinking of these two words, I unconsciously reached out and touched the torn cloth bag, which was hard inside, and took a look at it by the moonlight, and it was really all white silver, if you don't gamble, it is enough for ordinary people to use it for ten lifetimes.
Suddenly, my father's last instructions flashed in my mind, "No matter what happens, you must not go back to Pengcheng!" ”
There is a faint sense of foreboding, I'm afraid that this is a disaster for my family, I want to go back to see if my father and mother are okay, but the body is getting farther and farther away from home, I just want to put my wings in the ribs, fly to Qionglin Temple, and ask the elder to understand.
But when I found Qionglin Temple, it was already noon on the third day. This temple is not big, the three rows of blue bricks and stone tiles are built on the mountain, the temple door is wide open, the vermilion lacquer on it has long fallen, and the weeds are overgrown in the tile cracks on the top, which looks so old and old.
Walking into the temple, although several Buddha halls are a little dilapidated, they are very neat, the ancient trees are towering to the sky, and it is indeed a quiet place.
But now my heart is not clear, and I am busy telling a young monk at the door, who told us to wait a while, and let him go in and report to the master, although I am in a hurry, I can't break in, but fortunately, the young monk led an old monk out.
Said to be an old monk, but only about fifty years old, tall, although the eyebrows are slightly white, but the look is extraordinary, eyes like electricity, wearing a gray monk's robe, the pace is calm, presumably not an ordinary monk, but this old monk's face is kind, and the Buddha enshrined in the main hall is still a little similar, people have a feeling that they have known each other for a long time, coupled with the father's explanation, the heart can't help but have a little more trust.
Before I had time to think about it, the old monk had already walked up to me and called out the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, donor, what is the matter with finding a poor monk?" ”
I folded my hands together and asked, "Are you an elder of Zhihua?" ”
The old monk nodded slightly, "Exactly." ”
I felt a lot more at ease, and finally found the right person smoothly, so I wanted to pour out the process of the incident and the questions in my heart, but only when I said that my father was happy, Elder Zhihua looked at me in surprise, and then waved his hand and interrupted me: "Is the little benefactor's name Le Yang?" ”
I nodded in agreement, puzzled, how could he know my name, he must have been very friendly with my father, but why had he never heard my father mention it to me?
Elder Zhihua also looked thoughtful, and continued: "How about you stay in the temple first, and then talk in detail after you settle down?" ”
Uncle Zhang Jing hugged his fists and said: "Thank you Master for your kindness, I still have important things to do, so I will leave first." He looked at me, and said: "Xiao Engong, I have sent you to this Qionglin Temple, your father has the grace to save my life, and he is commensurate with brothers, now he is afraid that he is in trouble, I want to go back immediately to respond, please rest assured that Xiao Engong has my Zhang Jing in a breath, and I will ensure the safety of your father and mother." ”
I nodded, grabbed his arm and said, "Uncle Zhang Jing, then you have to work, as soon as you return to Pengcheng and have news of my home, give me a letter immediately, and I will rush back as soon as possible." ”
Zhang Jing answered and left.
Subsequently, Elder Zhihua arranged for me to be placed in an ordinary meditation room in the northeast corner of the monastery, with only a very narrow bed in the room, although it was simple, but it was clean and tidy, and there was a faint fragrance of Buddha to refresh my mind.
After settling in, the elder of Zhihua came to the door and couldn't wait to ask me what had happened. At this time, he looked anxious, and he was already the same as before, and I remembered that he was able to say my name just now, so I asked the main question, "How can the elder know my name?" ”
Elder Zhihua must also know my intentions, nodded and explained: "I and your father are brothers in the same sect, you should call me a Shibo, you were born with red eyes, and there is blood and tears flowing out, others think you are an ominous baby, your father helplessly asked for help from the poor monk, I used an ancient method: prunella grass one penny, green tea, wild chrysanthemum, lily one or two each, boiled in three parts of water into one serving, morning and evening serving; Mixed with herbal green tea water to wash your eyes will cure you, presumably you will still use this method regularly to protect your eyes when you are young, right? ”
I was shocked to remember that this was true when I was a child, but at that time I didn't understand the mystery, and if it wasn't for someone close to me, I would never know this secret.
At that moment, he nodded hurriedly and thanked Shibo, and naturally had no doubts in his heart, so he told him in detail about his previous experience and father's entrustment, and then I was going to hand over the ancient medicine book entrusted by my father to him, but the strange thing was that I rummaged through the rag bag, except for the silver money, where are there any ancient medicine books!
I was horrified, I never left this rag bag, I even held it when I slept, why is the medicine book gone? And no one has approached us at all, could it be that Uncle Zhang Jing took it away, this is absolutely impossible, but...... I looked at the similarly surprised Elder Zhihua and didn't know what to do, "Oh, it's just that when my father gave it to me, I didn't even think to take a look at this thing." ”
Elder Zhihua was calm and old, he was very calm, and said, "Senior brother has always been cautious in doing things, since he mentioned that medicine book, he will definitely not make a mistake. So saying, he walked around me twice, took off my tattered beggar's garment, and tore open the placket of my robe, and a scroll made of animal skins was sewn into the mezzanine.
This is what my father said about the medicine book, but also really beyond my expectations, my family has been running a medicinal herb shop for generations, I have seen no less than 100 volumes of medicine books, all of which are engraved on bamboo and wood slips, and the official family also writes on silk silk, even in ancient times, there are many books on tortoiseshell animal bones or copper tripods, and the medicine book of this animal skin is really fresh.
At a glance, this thing is known to be an ancient antiquity, the leather edge has a knitted trim similar to ancient mulberry linen, one end is a thumb-thick ebony scroll, the most strange thing is that the above is full of symbols painted with hook circles, I don't know what it means, look carefully, these symbols, or should be called ancient characters are actually scalded with a special tool.
I secretly said that my father is really scheming, it seems that he has been prepared, I have been wearing this torn clothes for three whole days, but I have not found the mystery in it, it seems that this animal skin scroll must also be an important object, I asked: "Could it be, is this broken animal skin, is my father said the medicine book?" ”
"Well, the title of this book is: Taisu"
"Too su? Ancient medicine books? ”
Elder Zhihua took down the ancient scroll and held it in his hand, his body was actually trembling, and after a long time, he said to Hoover: "Amitabha! This is too plain to turn to the world! It's about the world! ”
I saw that the elder's eyes had been attracted by this piece of ancient animal skin called Taisu, and he also stepped forward, those hooks and circles were naturally incomprehensible, but some of them seemed to be some kind of patterns, look closely, there were some graphics that looked like mountains and rivers in the middle, and there was a good incense burner painted in the lower right corner, which was engraved with the gossip graphics of Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui.
I'm wondering, if it's a medicine book, I should also draw herbs, right? Could it be that there is another mystery......
At this time, Elder Zhihua handed me a clean monk's robe and motioned for me to change into it, only to see that his expression was extremely solemn, and even a little murderous, I don't know what he wants to do? My heart is in my throat, but he can't get rid of me because he has a medicine book.
But I saw the elder slowly sit down, close his eyes and chant, and his eyebrows gradually relaxed after a long time.
I also let out a long breath, although there were a lot of questions in my heart, but at this time I wanted to know most about whether my father's and mother's family was okay, at this time, the elder slowly opened his eyes and sighed, "Amitabha, it's time for you to know!" ”
Then he revealed a shocking secret.
