This is an old courtyard house located in Huaping County, next to a clear river, there is an ancient town in the county, called "Baishi River".

The Baishi River is backed by 800 miles of mountains, and the ancient towers on the Liaokou Mountain stand in a forest, which is majestic and majestic, and the thousand peaks are showing, leaving countless legends in the Baishi River: Ashima, the treasure......

It is said that in those years, an elder led a team of people to the mountains to seek treasures, because the road is difficult and dangerous, tired, the mountain is like a barrier, covering the day, everyone is afraid, to retreat, the elder who led the team felt very sorry, so he used the power of magic to transform a city in front of everyone's eyes, so that everyone rested, and after enough rest, they continued on the road.

In the end, it is not known whether there are treasures in the mountains, but after the treasure hunters left, the city was left behind and became today's Baishi River.

During the Taiyuan period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a woodcutter who made a living from fishing, and accidentally entered the city, and the things in the mountains, if the new world was changed, the woodcutter was overjoyed, and brought out the strange news in the mountain. After that, no one was able to find the castle in the mountains.

Later, the ancestors of Baishijiang gave the mountains a name: "Wushan", and hung a strange lamp on a representative mountain, named "Wushan". A stream that flows out of the stone wall is called: "Spring River".

The water flow of the Spring River is turbulent, the sharp stones in the water stand, the boat bamboo raft is difficult to enter, the deeper it goes, the more rapid the water speed, there are shark people living at the bottom of the water, the two sides of the bank are cold and cold, it is said that it is a person, even if the lonely soul and wild ghost can not stay.

At the door of the old courtyard, there are two squatting tiger bluestone piers that are grinding to the shape of the squatting tiger, which is covered with moss, which looks like the feeling of the Chinese Ghost Ghost Lanruo Temple.

It's a pity that no matter how beautiful it was back then, it has now become a cloud of smoke. This house has been changed, the front of the door is broken and mottled, there is a trace of smoke and fire in the east, a footprint that has not been wiped clean in the west, a garbage basket on the wall, bottles and cans, and some moldy herbs are piled up in it, and the essence of human wriggling can be turned out under the fine planing, and the big bamboo broom is close to the door, raised high.

The gate is two wooden doors painted with black lacquer, which looks quite new, but this is really not commensurate with the pair of stone piers, and the door panels are also ravines and ravines, which seem to be quite old. Looking at it this way, it seems that the black paint is still a thing that can be regarded as the eye of the law.

Looking up, the plaque hangs "Huangquan Pharmacy." ”

Neighborhoods, people come and go:

"Blind bear, I said that the stone pier in front of the pharmacy is moss, and you don't scrub it......

However, it is often the same response: "Is it steamed or boiled, the moss is sent by Hades......"

The ancient town is not big, and a long bluestone street leads to the end, all of which are old-fashioned courtyards. Don't look at the small scale of six miles, but it is a place for four towns and eight towns in a radius to catch temple fairs, and its fame, there is no old woman who does not recognize her feet within 800 miles.

The temple fair in Liulidi is no better than the "Yuezhou Meeting" outside the Guan, the "Juzhou Temple" in the Guanli, and the "Mars Meeting" in the first month of the New Year and the "Chaodou Meeting" in September.

The temple fair of Liulidi does not make "literature", and does not make "martial arts", and every first day, eighteenth, and twenty-fifth of the new year, pharmaceutical merchants from all over Shanxi and Hebei gather, and what they do is "medicine"! It has the reputation of the ancient medicine county.

On the day of the temple fair, neighbors and villagers from near and far came one after another, bustling. The pawn peddlers who pick prescriptions and sell medicines are even more competing to take out ancestral elixirs and sell them on the street, covering those that fly in the sky, swim in the water, grow on the mountains, and are buried in the soil. There are also many strange medicinal materials such as Ziheche (women's placenta), blood charcoal (calcined into charcoal), and umbilicus and so on.

The general name of the medicine industry in the rivers and lakes is "skin", and the line of selling medicine is called "picking on the man". Those who sell eye medicine are called "provoking men"; Those who sell cough medicine are called "provoking Dunzihan"; Those who sell plasters are called "picking donkeys to gnaw"; Those who sell medicinal candy are called "picking Hanzi"; Those who sell toothache medicine are called "picking firewood and hanging men"; Those who sell strong pills are called "picking generals"; Those who sell Rendan are called "picking grains"; The one who sells to avoid the plague is called "picking smokers......

These men can be found in six miles of land. In the Daoguang period, more medicine people came to visit, and Liulidi gradually became a place specializing in medicinal materials, no matter whether it was to the temple fair or not, hundreds of thousands of medicine shops were all lined up along the street, hanging pots one by one, and the medicine flags were stubble after stubble, and they were very prosperous.

There are many people, and there is naturally no shortage of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods who are abducted and deceived. For example, the scam of the fake monk giving medicine: spread a stall on the medicine stall, put a statue of Guanyin on it, sit cross-legged monk in the stall, and mutter: "I am from Ciyun Temple in Wanyun Mountain, and I am ordered by the master to go down the mountain, Pu Ji Cihang, and treat people in disaster." Whether it is a man or a woman, as long as you are sick, you can ask me for medicine, my Buddha's elixir, curing all kinds of diseases. I don't want a penny from the monk, not at all. Whoever is sick can only ask for medicine. There should be a fate, the Bodhisattva will reward the medicine, if it should not be eliminated, the Bodhisattva will not appreciate the medicine. "Take a bone and a little mud and it's grandpa's relics.

The monk said this, and an old woman asked her, and the monk asked her, "Do you ask for medicine yourself or for others?" The old woman said, "My son has been having a burst of fire lately, his eyes are red and bloody, and he is weeping when he sees the wind, and he cannot see." ”

The monk said, "You give the Bodhisattva incense money, and see if you are destined?" ”

The woman respectfully took out the broken silver, laid it on the blanket, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed. At this time, a packet of medicine fell out of the hole in Guanyin's hand.

The monk opened it and saw that it was white ash, and said to the old woman: "You take this medicine back, wash your face with water every night, and burn a pillar of incense before washing your face, and the incense ash used in the incense burner must be made up of the ashes of 7749 families." If you want incense ashes from each house, you must ask what you want incense ashes for when the stars come out? Tell him, "I am here to cure all diseases." ”

The old woman couldn't stop nodding, and the monk said, "If you say anything else, this medicine will not work, and your son's eyes will turn into the eyes of a great ghost, and he will no longer be able to see anything in the world!" Then the old woman answered her promise......

This kind of cow, ghost, snake and god is innumerable in the six miles, and there are countless of them. Over time, the locals also gained immunity and were able to gain insight into the fame of these men. However, the big hidden in the city, there are many liars, and there are many masters, which is why even the old woman who is bound to the feet knows the reason why Liulidi, a place is famous, it is nothing more than that there are great people, there are treasures, and among all kinds of medicine people, there are also a few "woodcutters" who can go to heaven and earth, and call for wind and rain.
