I happened to meet Shen Mingdao from Wuhan Changchun Temple in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an, and I was immediately very surprised, he also saw me leading Qingqing's cousin-in-law and Ah Guang, so he asked: "Doctor Yuan, aren't you in Wuhan?" How did you come to Xi'an? ”
"It's a long story, I'll tell you more about it when I have time later, where do you live now?"
Shen Ming Taoist said frankly: "The poor road left from Zhongnan Mountain, passed through here, just stayed for a few days, and will soon return to Wuhan in the south?" ”
Ah Guang asked: "Daoist, you won't walk back to Wuhan, right?" ”
Shen Mingdaoren nodded and said, "Exactly!" ”
Cui Xiaoqiang was a little surprised, and Ah Guang hurriedly said to him: "Dao Chief, you can also calculate hexagrams, can you count it for me, and see when I can run and get rich and get married?" ”
The old Taoist priest narrowed his eyes, looked at him, and said: "This donor is seeking wealth and marriage, you have a black face, no financial road, and a staggering body, like a burden, even if you encounter peach blossoms, it is a catastrophe, and the passing year is not good!" ”
Ah Guang hurriedly grabbed the old Taoist's hand and asked, "Daoist, what should I do then?" ”
Shen Ming Daoist looked at me, and I hurriedly said, "Daoist, what do you think I do?" He's my friend, you can say whatever you want? ”
Ah Guang was also full of anxiety and expectation, and the old Taoist priest said slowly: "Xi'an is originally a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, but your sick tiger is not suitable for survival here, because Sirius is booming, if you want to change your own fate, you can only go diagonally to the southeast and stop when you encounter water!" ”
When Ah Guang was muttering, Cui Xiaoqiang also snatched the old Taoist's hand from Ah Guang's hand and asked, "Daoist, you can calculate it for me, see when I can get rich?" And my marriage. ”
Shen Mingdao withdrew his hands from her hands, picked up the sticker on the ground and said: "Poor Dao never counts hexagrams for women, Miss Pan is recovering well, after you come to Wuhan, you can go to Changchun to find me!"
As he spoke, he was about to go down the tower, but I hurriedly stopped him and said to him, "Dao Chief, you also counted a hexagram for me!" ”
"There's no need, right? Do you still need to use the poor way to divinate for you? ”
When I still wanted to argue, he had already strode to the window, and as soon as his body shrank, he poked his head out of the tower, and then used his hands and feet together, and he got out of the tower, and in the exclamation of the travelers, Shen Mingdao slid directly from the third floor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to the first floor, blended into the crowd, and soon disappeared.
Ah Guang asked me: "Xiaohua, this old Taoist priest is quite neat, are you very familiar with him?" ”
I nodded in response, "Sort of!" Qingqing was able to wake up, and his contribution was indispensable! ”
Ah Guangyou asked me, "What does it mean to go diagonally to the southeast, and stop when it encounters water?" ”
I hurriedly said that I didn't understand, and then raised my wrist to look at my watch, it was almost five o'clock, and said to him: "It's not early, we have to go back quickly!" ”
The cousin-in-law was a little unhappy, so she kept asking Qingqing about the situation of this Shen Ming Taoist, but Qingqing said that she didn't know either.
And I regret that I didn't borrow the pearl ring for a while, but this Shen Ming Taoist is also afraid that I will ask for this thing and quickly flee, how can I borrow it back and use it again?
When we got out of the gate of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, we saw that there were already night market vendors out of the stalls, and Ah Guang was going to take us to eat grilled gluten and fish tofu, but I saw that the sellers of ancient books were also placed in a large column against the wall, and the stall owner was also an old man, unloading from the tricycle.
"Ah Guang, you take the two beauties to eat, I'll stay and look at these old books!"
Ah Guang was polite, and soon left with his cousin and Qingqing, and I began to inspect the old books, and the stall owner said to me in a Hanzhong accent: "What books do young people like to read?" ”
I confessed: "I like to read medical books and medicine books!" Do you have any unique books, strange books or secret tips here? ”
"Secrets? Martial arts secrets? The old man let out a hearty laugh, but as if he was juggling, he pulled out an old book with a traditional illustrated version from under the seat of the tricycle, and said, "This is the old man's treasure, and money on the market can't buy it?" ”
I took the book and read it, and immediately blushed, this is a forbidden book, so I returned it to the old man, saying: "I am a student of medicine, Chinese medicine, and I am very interested in Chinese herbal medicine!" ”
The old man took out a copy of "Shennong's Materia Medica" from his canvas clothes, and said: "This book can be described as a book from heaven, you see that I carry it with me, and I will count it as 800 yuan for you, how about it?" ”
I took this old book with the old man's body temperature and body odor and looked at it, and sure enough, it was a book from heaven, and the text in it was still oracle bones, but the illustrations were very vivid, so I said: "I bought this book eighty!" ”
As soon as the old man heard that I had directly erased the zero, he immediately snatched the book back, saying that he didn't bargain like this.
I'm a little tempted by this book, but 800 yuan is too expensive, so I went to look at other books, he has a lot of ancient books here, but it is unlikely that he can find a single fragment here.
However, I saw a hand-copied copy of the Vajra Sutra on the beach, and I asked the stall owner, "How much does this notebook cost?" ”
The stall owner took a look at it and said, "Fifty yuan is not a counteroffer!" ”
The things here are indeed very expensive, I hesitated, I wanted this "Shennong Materia Medica" very much, but the money in my pocket was not enough, at this time Ah Guang led the two beauties back, holding fish tofu and grilled gluten in their hands.
Qingqing stuffed two skewers of grilled gluten and fish tofu into my hands, but how could I be in the mood to eat them?
It was already dark, so I delivered the skewers to the stall owner and said frankly: "Uncle, I like your book very much, but I don't have enough money, and I am still interning in the hospital, can you sell it to me cheaper, this is for you to eat!" ”
When the stall owner was about to refuse, Ah Guang asked, "What kind of book?" Let me see it too! ”
He put the baked gluten in his mouth, reached out and went to this "Shennong's Materia Medica", after opening it, his mouth opened, and the baked gluten in his mouth fell down, and he shouted: "What kind of book is this, it is full of ghost drawings, how much does it cost?" ”
The stall owner thought that the baked gluten in his mouth had soiled his book, so he hurriedly took out a rag to clean up.
Ah Guang asked me, "Xiaohua, do you fancy this book?" ”
I nodded in agreement, but he casually threw it at the bookstall and said, "Can you read it?" ”
The stall owner picked up the book and said while carefully flicking off the oil stain on it: "People who know the goods are sold, don't read them if you don't understand them, how can I sell my books if they are dirty?" ”
Ah Guang was attracted by the forbidden books on his tricycle, so he picked them up and flipped through them, and said, "This book is good, and there are illustrations, lifelike, how much does it cost, I want it?" ”
Cui Xiaoqiang blushed when she saw the title of the book, and said, "Five hundred yuan, no counteroffer!" ”
After hearing this, Ah Guang said: "The lion opens his mouth widely, you treat me as a fool?" Then he dropped the book and dragged me away, and my cousin and Qingqing hurriedly followed.
I said to him, "Don't worry, I really want that "Shennong's Materia Medica". ”
He said to me, "Nerd, then you can buy it!" ”
I admit that I don't have enough money in my pocket, and besides, an old book actually sells for 800, which is really a lion's mouth.
Ah Guang said, "You guys wait for me in the car first!" He hailed a taxi and said to the driver: "I forgot the gate of the temple, so I'll go get it and come back immediately!" ”
My cousin and I were still crowded in the back seat, and soon Ah Guang rushed back, opened the car door, sat in the passenger seat, and said to the driver: "Lotus Park!" ”
I heard the angry scolding of the old man who sold old books, turned his head to look out the back window of the car, and the old man chased him out, crying and grabbing the ground, and scolding angrily.
So I asked Ah Guang what happened?
He handed me this "Shennong's Materia Medica" and said: "It's nothing, this old man is too dark, I bought this from him for 100 yuan, I feel a little lost, what kind of text is on it, I can't understand it, you can take it if you like!" ”
