Chapter 309: The Adventures of the Imperial Physician
The tomb robber friend smiled and said to the father of the shopkeeper Lu: "Do you know what this is? This is our area, the tomb of the royal doctor, I see that it is full of words, it is estimated that it is a medical book, you are also this, brother, I don't know how to read big characters, only interested in white and yellow, I wanted to burn this bamboo slip, but suddenly remembered that you came, brother, I know, in the past few decades, you have not done anything else, you are collecting this kind of medical book. So, instead of burning it, I should borrow flowers to offer Buddha, which can be regarded as a gift to my brother, so that you can also touch my brother's light, haha. ”
When the shopkeeper Lu's father heard this, he was overjoyed - he could get the medical book of the royal doctor to accompany the funeral? It was something he could never have dreamed of.
Who is this royal physician?
Imperial Doctor Wang can really be called a strange person in the local area - he was not born in a medical family, let alone a doctor from elementary school, but just a talented man on the ground, and he became a monk halfway through learning medical skills, this experience is somewhat similar to Lu's shopkeeper's father.
So how did he become a royal doctor in the future?
It turned out that this royal physician had liked to study strange arts since he was a child. After his successive failures in the imperial examinations, he spent all his thoughts on studying these mysterious and mysterious things.
This is more similar to the father of the shopkeeper Lu.
However, the age at which Imperial Physician Wang gave up the examination of his fame was much earlier than that of the shopkeeper's father, who was less than twenty years old at that time.
Previously, he was a famous prodigy in this area, and he was admitted to Xiucai at the age of fifteen, but for some reason, he failed twice after that, and the success or failure of the field was normal, and he was so young at the time, as long as he continued to take the exam, he would have a bright future.
But the royal doctor suddenly gave up on himself, and indulged in the study of strange arts all day long, no one persuaded him, and in the end, he was angry with his father to death, but he was still obsessed.
As soon as his father died, no one cared about him anymore, and he was like a demon, he didn't care about anything, he read all kinds of books on Taoism and spells every day, and often meditated.
However, his family background is not bad, and he also has two older brothers who are in the medicinal herb business, so although he doesn't do anything, his life is still going on.
When he was thirty-eight years old, the imperial physician Wang suddenly claimed that he had opened his eyes to heaven, not only to predict people's fortunes and misfortunes, but also to cure all diseases, at first, people thought he must be crazy, but gradually, everyone was surprised to find that he really did fortune telling very accurately, not only that, all the diseases that let him see, no matter what incurable diseases, Wang Imperial Doctor did not see bad.
With the increasing fame, there are more and more people who seek medical treatment and fortune telling, but there is a strange rule for the royal doctor: for critically ill patients, before treatment, the royal doctor does not take the pulse, does not look at the patient's complexion, and does not do any examination of the patient's condition, but first asks the patient's birth date and fortune telling for the patient. For other patients, no matter how much money is given, he will not treat them.
When asked why he did this, he said only one sentence: I am "a cure, not a cure."
Later, another famous doctor, after hearing this sentence, praised the imperial doctor Wang as a master, and explained these four words - some patients have not finished their longevity, so after getting sick, they can use superb medical skills to cure his illness and extend his life; For some patients, their longevity has been exhausted, and if they use superb medical skills to forcibly extend their lifespan, the doctor's own longevity will be damaged.
As the fame of the imperial physician became more and more famous, the local magistrate, in order to please the emperor, recommended him to the palace and became the imperial doctor, and since then, people no longer call him "Wang Xiucai", but call him "Wang Imperial Doctor".
However, it is said that before the royal physician was summoned to the palace, he was not happy at all, but looked up to the sky and sighed: "Those who heal others cannot heal themselves, and those who know people's lives cannot know their own lives." ”
At that time, the emperor was young, but his health was very bad, but with the presence of the royal doctor, although the emperor was seriously ill several times, he was saved by the royal doctor, so the royal doctor received a lot of rewards and became a prominent family and a big family in this area.
But unfortunately, the imperial physician only lived to be more than fifty years old, and the emperor also died in the second year after his death, and when the emperor died, he was only in his thirties.
Dr. Wang Yu had a will beforehand, saying that after death, he must be buried in the mountains of his hometown.
After the death of the royal physician, it was rumored that the emperor's longevity should have been over a long time ago, and it was the imperial physician who used his superb medical skills to make the emperor live for so many more years, so the imperial physician's own life span was consumed a lot, so he lived for more than fifty years and died.
At that time, the government killed dozens of people because of this rumor, but in the end, this statement still spread in the local area.
And the father of the shopkeeper Lu has always been very interested in this royal doctor, because he feels that his experience with the royal doctor is a little similar, and more importantly, these anecdotes around the royal doctor are too mysterious and incomprehensible.
For example, why did Imperial Doctor Wang suddenly open the eyes of heaven? Was it under the guidance of a superior person? Or is it enlightened on its own? These questions have lingered in the heart of Lu's shopkeeper's father for many years and have not been able to be solved.
But Lu's shopkeeper's father, what he never dreamed of was that he, a friend of tomb robbers, actually got the bamboo slips for the funeral of the royal doctor, is this providential.
Therefore, the father of the shopkeeper Lu was extremely excited, of course, he was not in the mood to drink the wine, and after chatting casually with the tomb robber friend, he couldn't wait to hold the bamboo slip, hurried and stumbled home, and fell several times along the way.
When he got home, it was already midnight, and his heart was beating wildly, as if he had never been so excited and excited in his life.
The family had already slept, so he went to his study, turned on the lamp, closed the doors and windows tightly, and then sat down at the desk, and in the dim light, carefully untied the burden, revealing the large scroll of bamboo slips inside.
He used the light to suppress his wildly beating heart and unfold the bamboo slips little by little.
On the bamboo slips, there are small letters, and the font is very small, but it is unusually neat and clear. Fortunately, his eyes hadn't been spent yet, so it was effortless to read, and when he read the contents of the bamboo slip, Lu's shopkeeper's father was completely shocked.
Because the content of the record in this is a shocking secret!
On this bamboo slip, the most incredible experience in the life of the imperial doctor Wang is recorded. And these experiences just unlocked many secrets that Lu's shopkeeper's father had been puzzled about for many years.
For example, one of the biggest secrets is that the reason why Imperial Physician Wang "opened his eyes to heaven" was not because he was "enlightened", but because he encountered a strange thing, and it was after experiencing this strange incident that Imperial Physician Wang's life changed dramatically.
Here's the specific thing.
In the process of studying strange arts for many years, Wang Yuyi discovered a strange thing. This strange thing is not some special feature of this mountain - for example, the mountain will appear regularly, cracks that can open and close on its own, and from the mountain, sometimes there will be a woman's moaning - these are not special for Zheng Yushi, he has long known, he is no longer special, he also knows that this mountain has a special yin qi, and it is this yin qi that leads to the emergence of all kinds of strange phenomena.
In addition, Imperial Doctor Wang even knew that the most bizarre "stone girl" would appear in this mountain.
But the imperial doctor Wang, who thought he knew this mountain very well, encountered an incident that shocked him.
It was a full moon night in late summer and early autumn, and he quietly walked four or five miles into the mountains along a sheep's intestine trail behind the county seat, came to a boulder on the edge of a cliff, and began to meditate.
Every year at midnight in this season, he will come to this stone to meditate, because he knows that this is the time when the yin energy in the mountain begins to restrain and contract, as long as he meditates at this time, opens the chakra on his back, and allows this yin qi to pour into his body, it is possible to break away the "heavenly eye vein" in the back of the head, and as long as the heavenly eye vein is opened, it is often said that "the heavenly eye is opened", and then you can gain insight into many things that ordinary people can't see.
This is also the goal that Imperial Doctor Wang has been striving for decades.
Although he came every year, it didn't seem to have much effect, but Imperial Doctor Wang was very persistent, and he never wanted to give up.
This night, when he had settled down and could feel that the yin qi in the mountain was slowly shrinking towards the mountain, he adjusted his breath, relaxed his whole body, and tried his best to make his meridians run smoothly.
But at this moment, a woman's laughter suddenly sounded not far away, and this laughter was not a cheerful laugh, but a gloomy sneer.
In the silence of the night, in the desolate mountains, there was a sneer of this kind of woman, and even the royal doctor, who had always been very bold, was so frightened that he almost fell off the stone.
He stood abruptly and looked around nervously. In the bright moonlight, there was no one but stones and stones.
It's a relatively flat piece of land, and a few pine trees, all far away, should be easy to see if there are people.
Did you hear it wrong? Imperial Doctor Wang asked himself secretly, he felt his heart beat wildly, and his legs trembled a little. For so many years, he had been here at midnight a lot, but he had never encountered anything unusual, so how could he suddenly appear today, such a creepy laugh?
Is it the auditory hallucinations caused by the wrong regulation of your own meridians?
The royal physician stood on the boulder and looked around for a long time, but there was no sound except the chirping of insects in the grass and one or two calls of night birds. When the moon is in the sky, there is not a single cloud in the sky, and every qiē in the mountains looks so empty and clear in the moonlight.
After a long while, the miserable laughter of that woman never appeared again.
Imperial Doctor Wang kept reassuring himself in his heart - he must have heard it wrong, but in fact, there was nothing abnormal.
However, after such a toss, his heart could no longer be calm. Seeing that it was not too early, the royal doctor jumped off the boulder and prepared to go home.
But at this moment, that terrifying, woman's miserable laughter sounded again.
And this time the sound lasts longer, louder and clearer. Imperial Physician Wang was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he almost knelt on the ground, and he was also chilled all over his body, and his hair stood on end.
Imperial Doctor Wang was extremely flustered, and kept twisting his head back and forth, trying to determine the direction in which the sound came from. But because the mountain has an echo, it is not clear whether the sound came from that direction.
But at this moment, the terrible laughter began to sound continuously, and it sounded closer and closer. Suddenly, in the bright moonlight, the royal physician noticed that there was something unbelievable half a foot away from him.
