Chapter 1 Buddha Cliff Temple
The season when rape flowers bloom is also the time when there are the most in the countryside, so as the saying goes, "Cauliflower is yellow, and idiots are busy." ”
Whenever before and after the Qingming Festival, Tongguan Buddha Cliff Temple will be really busy for a while, and the patients from ten miles and eight villages are sent to the temple to ask the abbot to be treated by the old monk. The so-called "" have existed since ancient times, and most of them are young women who are obsessed with the opposite sex or the same sex and are fascinated, and in severe cases, they will go insane. The diagnosis in the hospital is usually called "hysteria", and it is difficult to find out the cause, so they can only be prescribed some sedative pills to sleep, and when the rape flowers fall, the condition will naturally resolve, but it will still recur the next spring.
The treatment of the old monk is to rely on his own strong internal force to force the dirty things in the patient's body out of the body, and those women will naturally be cured, and they will basically not do it again in the next year. As a result, the reputation of Foya Temple spread far and wide, and even patients who were far away in Hanzhong came to seek treatment.
The spring rain is dashing, the Qingming is here, and the pilgrims in the temple are bustling with people.
A blind old beggar on crutches walked into the monastery tremblingly, and despite his unkempt and ragged clothes, the monks led him to the back room and gave him some porridge and rice.
The old blind man slowly turned his face, facing the mute little monk burning under the stove, his shriveled eyes trembled twice, and he asked, "Little monk, do you remember the old blind man?" ”
The name of the mute little monk is Youliang, a few years ago he begged all the way and fainted in front of the mountain gate of the Buddha Cliff Temple, and was taken in by the abbot Weidu old monk to shave the monk, because of the disability of his hands, he did a firework monk in the temple, and the name of the law went out.
"He's a dumb man," the fat monk told him, but then he wondered, "Hey, isn't the benefactor blind?" ”
The old blind man didn't hear it, he carried a few steamed buns around his clothes, stretched out his dirty hand and grabbed it and filled it into his mouth.
The fat monk frowned and ordered, "Go, take this benefactor to the side hall to eat." ”
Arara stood up and pulled the old blind man and led him out of the room.
At this moment, there is a group of fellow villagers gathered in the side hall, and they are watching the abbot Weidu old monk treat a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, she is a patient from Hanzhong, where it is the main rapeseed producing area in the north, and there are especially many people who get sick during the rape flower season.
The old monk sat on the futon, his hands were close to the girl's back and he was working, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead, which looked very difficult.
"Master, take a break." The girl's grandfather, Li Laohan, said sympathetically.
"The old man has tried her best, strangely, the evil qi in her body just can't force it out." The old monk was out of breath, and he had already treated two or three patients today, and his true qi was consumed too much.
"Master, can't Erya be cured?" Li Laohan asked him anxiously.
"The old monk can't do anything." The old monk sighed.
"Master, we have come all the way from Hanzhong, let's think of a way."
The relatives looked at each other with a look of dejection.
"Not necessarily." At this time, I suddenly heard someone say, and everyone looked at the voice, and saw a sloppy old beggar who was blind, devouring steamed buns in the corner.
"Is it you, the begger, who is talking?" Someone asked rudely.
"Yes, if the old monk can't cure it, others may not be able to." The old blind man hummed.
The old monk smiled faintly and said, "If the donor has a good prescription, can you heal this girl?" ”
Everyone's suspicious eyes were cast on the old blind man, and they thought to themselves that if this beggar could cure his illness, how could he be so downtrodden.
"Of course," the old blind man agreed, and then said, "Little dumb monk, please help the old man over." ”
Arira glanced at the abbot, and the old monk nodded and motioned for him to do so.
The old blind man chewed the food in his mouth, and his face drew close to the girl, as if he was carefully scrutinizing, and everyone thought that a blind man would not see anything if he could see it again.
The girl's eyes were confused and she looked demented, and according to her family, this state had lasted for several days, and the county hospital had no choice but to prescribe pills for sleep.
"Who are you?" The old blind man asked with a pleasant face.
The girl did not respond, still demented.
"What are you?" The old blind man suddenly shouted loudly, startling everyone.
The girl turned her head slowly, and her dull gaze fell on the old blind man's face, and there was no expression on his face.
"If you don't say it, don't blame the old man for being polite." The old blind man's dirty hand took out a small cloth bag from his bosom, and gently unfolded it, with a silver needle inserted in it.
He pulled out a thin needle and made two strokes, and suddenly it stabbed out like lightning and pierced the ghost letter point on the outside of the girl's right thumb nail.
The old monk was taken aback, the old blind man's eyes were shriveled and blind, but his recognition of acupoints was extremely accurate, and it was not bad at all.
"Why are you meddling with this old thing?" The girl finally spoke, her voice hoarse and coarse, like that of an old woman.
Everyone present at this moment was stunned.
"This is not Erya's voice!" Li Laohan cried out in a lost voice.
"Who are you holy? Or which soul has died unjustly? If you have any requirements, just say it to the old man. The old blind man said lightly.
The girl glared at him, silent.
The old blind man pulled out a silver needle again and stuck it in the ghost pillow point at the back of her right neck.
"Damn, it hurts my mother." The girl immediately burst out and scolded.
"What the hell are you that you didn't really bring in?" The old blind man asked her viciously.
"People in the yang world don't care about the affairs of the underworld, aren't you afraid of dying in the future?"
"Hey, hey." The old blind man sneered twice, and his gloomy face did not answer, and a needle in his hand was silently inserted into the ghost hall above the girl's head, and he closed his middle finger and flicked it twice.
The girl cried "woo", burst into tears, and said in her mouth: "The heroes are merciful, the old lady is just a goddess in the countryside of Liuba in Hanzhong, a few days ago when she was struck by a lightning bolt when she summoned the soul of the Li family at the foot of Zibai Mountain, she died unjustly in this way, and the old lady was unwilling, so she attached herself to the second girl of the Li family to find out the cause of her death." ”
"Ah, you turned out to be Lady Liao! What's the matter with our Li family? It was the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar that night, and the moon was round and big, where did the lightning come from? You yourself suddenly fell to the ground and died, and the county public security bureau had already experienced corpses, so that the Li family pasted a pair of fir coffins in vain. Li Laohan asked angrily.
"Lady Liao, what kind of lightning?" The old blind man became alert when he heard this.
"It's like a seven-colored rainbow, and it hit the fontanelle directly on the top of the old lady's head."
The old blind man pondered for a moment, slowly picked up the thick three-edged needle and said, "Don't break blindly, the lightning splits people for a moment, and you can't see it at all." Since Mrs. Liao is dead, don't stay in the sun anymore, and the old man will send you on your way. ”
"Old blind man, get out of the way" Erya asked the old monk for help in horror, "The old monk is merciful, take pity on my old woman." ”
"Donor, the invisible soul is actually very painful, and the unjust soul has no place to live before it comes to possess the body, involving the cause and effect of the past life and this life, let her go." The old monk persuaded him to pity.
"The old monk is really pedantic, let her go today, and she will harm others in the future, and the only way to make her disappear is to destroy her." The old blind man sneered and pinched Erya's mouth open, and pierced the three-edged needle into the ghost seal hole in the middle of her tongue.
The girl tilted her head and fainted, and Li Laohan and his relatives suddenly became nervous.
Just when everyone was puzzled, Erya suddenly opened her eyes, looked around and said in surprise: "Grandpa, why did we get to the temple?" ”
Li Laohan grabbed his granddaughter and burst into tears of joy: "Erya, you scared your grandfather to death." ”
"Amitabha." The old monk recited the Buddha's name.
The relatives surrounded the second girl and asked for warmth, no one noticed that the old blind man trembled and went down the mountain, he stopped outside the mountain gate, and then waited quietly for something, and after a while he heard footsteps behind him.
"You're finally here." He said without looking back.
The mute little monk came behind the old blind man and suddenly spoke: "Where is the nobleman?" "Since I hadn't spoken a word in the temple for several years, the sound quality was as dry as metal.
"The nobleman is far away in the sky, close in front of him." The old blind man said hehehe.
On that rainy night, in a ruined ancestral hall by the Yellow River, it was this blind old beggar who told him that he would meet a noble man to help him when he went to the east, but he not only lost Nizi later, but also had crippled hands and curled up in this Buddha Cliff Temple for the rest of his life.
"You?" There is a good indignation.
The old blind man turned around, nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't think that you, a little bum, would be the heir to the mantle of the old man's 'Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate' back then." ”
Arira looked at him silently and did not make a sound.
"Acupuncture and moxibustion heal people and animals, and thirteen needles are dedicated to treating demons and ghosts." The old blind man explained.
"Lady Liao?"
"She's just a little demon, it's not enough, are you willing to worship the old man as a teacher?"
"My hand is crippled, you have found the wrong person." Arirashi stared at him and said slowly.
"Let the old man touch it," the old blind man suddenly clasped Youliang's wrist, and was surprised after cutting off the three levels, "You not only have broken tendons, but also the six meridians of the three yin and three yang in your hands are broken, how did you get this?" ”
"Dog bites."
"But it's not in the way, it can be cured." The old blind man pondered for a moment and said.
Youliang didn't believe in this old blind man at all.
"But there is one condition, that is, you must enter the old man's door, and you will naturally heal you as a master and apprentice."
Youliang hesitated and didn't say anything.
"The old man lives in a dilapidated shack by the Black Dragon Pond, so let's go there to find me." After the old blind man finished speaking, he staggered straight to the east, and in the pine forest two miles away from the mountain gate was the Black Dragon Pond.
Looking at the back that was gradually moving away, Youliang pondered silently for a long time before turning around and returning to the temple.
"Where's the blind benefactor?" At the entrance of the side hall, the old monk asked.
A good hand pointed down the mountain.
"There are really masters in the world, and the old man is really ashamed." The old monk sighed with emotion.
"Little Master, you led someone to cure my illness, right? Erya, thank you. The girl smiled sweetly at Arara.
Ariliang's heart shook slightly, and he remembered Nizi
At night, he lay in bed, and the past was revealed in his mind.
On the cliff of Meili Snow Mountain, Nizi not only beat herself with "broken arms and snow", but even released a big blood flea to bite him, which made him heartbroken. Therefore, when the group of mad dogs pounced on him and bit him, he no longer resisted, preferring to have his tendons broken and bruises all over his body, and he also refused to be treated by Han Sheng, and now his physical disability is due to the ghost baby Shen Cai.
"Shen Cai, you wait, I will come back to you sooner or later......" At this moment, his sad and resentful oath sounded in his ears.
