Chapter 190: The Man of the Sun
Time soon arrived in the Republic of China, when the feng shui master met Huizhong in Shanghai, this former monk, who was already an old man in his eighties at that time, had a group of children and grandchildren, and their family was definitely a capitalist in Shanghai, and Tang Chizhou's family was also engaged in medical business, and his family built two hospitals. And one of the most important secret recipes of their family is related to the corpse worms on the body of the monks, for some diseases, using this corpse worm to treat it has a miraculous effect. Of course, it is not directly used to give corpse worms to the patient, but it has to be processed and concocted.
About these things in Huizhong, the feng shui masters all heard about it from Tang Chizhou. Later, because they were both in Shanghai and had mutual friends, the feng shui master gradually got acquainted with Huizhong, but what he didn't expect was that the two could chat quite well and became a year-old friend, and Huizhong also asked the feng shui master to consult him with a lot of feng shui questions.
As the friendship slowly deepened, the feng shui master felt that the time was almost up, he chose a time that he felt was more appropriate, and directly asked Huizhong face-to-face about the experience of going to Tibet, the most curious thing for the feng shui master was, why Huizhong could judge the corpse insects on the body of the monk from the account of the former Qing official, and had such important medical value?
To this day, when Huizhong recounts this experience, the mysterious and strange expression on his face still makes the feng shui master remember it vividly.
Huizhong told the feng shui master very bluntly, if someone else asked him this question, he would definitely not answer, but the feng shui master was his best and only friend in his later years, and he knew that although the feng shui master was young, he was old and respectful, and he was a person with absolutely no problem with quality, so he was willing to tell the feng shui master the biggest secret in his life.
It turns out that this Huizhong was also born in a scholarly family, his father also had a show, he has been smart and clever since he was a child, and loves to read, everything he sees with words, he can't help but pick it up and read, and his father is in him, and he has no less effort, as if he has not realized his ideals, are pinned on his son, so when he was more than ten years old, he was already well-read, and often fought against his father's poetry, although life was not rich in the year, but he was finally happy.
But it is really "the sky has unforeseen circumstances, people have good fortune and misfortune", when he was just thirteen years old, his father had a serious illness and died, the original happy home, suddenly became fragmented, although he was just thirteen years old that year, but because he read a lot, his thoughts were more precocious, and the relationship between father and son was so deep, so he was heartbroken about his father's death, almost cried for three days and three nights, cried to death several times, and finally cried until he vomited blood, and his throat could not make a sound.
But when a person died, life had to go on as usual, and compared with his kind and learned father, my mother seemed a little rough and worldly, when my mother was just in her early thirties, and she was still a little beautiful, so she couldn't bear the loneliness, and soon after her father's death, she found a strong butcher, and remarried.
At that time, Huizhong was too young and had no other relatives to go to, so he went with his mother to the butcher's house, and for him, it was like going to hell.
This rude butcher made him do all kinds of heavy work every day, and if he was a little slower, he would either beat or scold, and the mother seemed to be very compatible with the butcher, whenever the butcher scolded him, the mother not only did not help her son, but also always looked at the butcher, and when the two had sex together at night, they often yelled, and did not care that the son was in the side room.
Every time in the dead of night, when Huizhong was lying on the bed made of firewood and grass with a sore body, he couldn't help but want to cry heartbreakingly. He thought of his father, who loved him very much, remembered the warm family life he had before, and then thought about the current situation, he really didn't want to live and suffer anymore, several times, he secretly dropped his belt on the beam of the house, and wanted to hang himself, but every time he would think of his father's ardent expectations for him, so he finally gave up the idea of suicide.
But Huizhong couldn't stand this life anymore, and he decided to run away from the house and never come back. In this way, in the middle of the night, he quietly carried a bag of dry food on his back, and the dry food in it was all saved by him in a few days, although some of it had been dried, but it could always satisfy his hunger.
But after all, he was still young, a child who had just been more than ten years old, so in the dark night, he felt very scared, but he had no way out, and he didn't know where to go, so, in the dark night, he cried while walking, crying while walking, at that time, he hated God very much, why his life was so bitter, and at such a young age, he became a child without a home and no relatives.
After walking out of the village, in the dark night, he couldn't tell which was east, west, north and south, so Huizhong had to grit his teeth, wipe his tears, and choose a direction to go down.
When I was really scared and couldn't stand it, I knelt on the ground in the dark night, crying loudly and shouting: "Dad, you help your son under Jiuquan, why did you leave so early, I might as well be dead, do you know how scared I am now?" What am I going to do, Daddy?"
After crying for a while, the scared feelings will be relieved a little, but when walking, Huizhong still feels trembling all over. In this way, in the dark of night, he walked until dawn, and he did not know where he went, as if he was still in the wilderness, because he was too tired, so he found a place to lie down casually, and when he woke up, he nibbled on dry food, drank a sip of spring water, and continued walking.
Especially at night, he still didn't get to a populated place, Huizhong felt that he was afraid to continue walking, and he was even more afraid if he didn't go, and there were too many mosquitoes at night, and he couldn't sleep, so he had no choice but to cry at night and continue to walk.
The feng shui master said that when it comes to this experience, Huizhong, who was already in his eighties at the time, will still have tears on his face, which shows how unforgettable and painful this period of time is in his mind.
I don't know that after a few days, he may be walking in the wrong direction, the more he walks, the more desolate the place, the more uninhabited, in the moonlit night, he finally walked to a temple, this temple looks very large, in the wilderness in such a late night, once you see a place where people live, you will have a special sense of intimacy and security.
It should be the second half of the night, Huizhong plucked up his courage and called the door a few times, but there was no answer inside, he didn't dare to call again, so he fell asleep in the doorway. This is the first time he has slept at night in so many days, although he has been stared at all over his bag, but it is the most restful sleep he has slept in so many days.
When it was dawn, the monk who opened the door saw a dirty child, lying in the doorway, his face was blue and red from mosquito bites, and he looked very pitiful.
So after asking Huizhong a few words, he brought him to the abbot to see what to do. The abbot saw that although Huizhong's clothes were a little dirty and tattered, he looked very elegant in his conversation and every move, not like an ordinary streamer, so he asked Huizhong in detail. The two monks next to him also wiped their tears.
After listening to it, the abbot also said with emotion: "Alas, bad fate, what a hard worker, but you can get here today, it is also fate, if you want, just stay, anyway, you don't know where to go now."
After listening to this, Huizhong was of course very happy, and he felt that he would not die in a catastrophe and survive. From then on, the old abbot personally gave him the legal name "Huizhong" and asked him to follow him.
After Huizhong entered the temple, he knew that this abbot was very different from the abbot of the general temple, he had superb medical skills, and many pilgrims who came to the temple not only came to burn incense and worship the Buddha, but more importantly, to see a doctor. The abbot was generous, and even if he did something wrong, he never beat or scolded, and Huizhong felt that his life in the temple had restored a certain feeling when his father was there. And what made him happiest was that the abbot also taught him medical skills, and also said to Huizhong that he saw that Huizhong was not a person in Buddhism, and he should study medicine well.
Huizhong was originally a bright child, and he was meticulous and well-read, and he made rapid progress in medical skills. Huizhong not only studied medicine in the monastery, but also read all kinds of books every night, including Buddhist scriptures, hundreds of schools, subsets of scriptures and history, and wild history notes. Therefore, after many years of hard practice, Huizhong became a monk who was proficient in Buddhist scriptures and art, and was also very famous in that area. It was precisely this outstanding talent in these fields that was also closely associated with many literati and officials at that time.
The official who came back from Tibet was the one who had a close relationship with Huizhong.
When Huizhong heard this official talk about the strange monk he met in Tibet, he chuckled, because he knew that from all kinds of signs, it can be seen that this kind of person is a monk, from a medical point of view, it is likely to be a person with an extremely "masculine and strong" physique, such a person has been recorded in the Qing Dynasty, the most famous one is Ji Yun Ji Xiaolan, on Ji Xiaolan's tombstone, it is said that he is the reincarnation of the "Fire God", why do you say so?
Because Ji Xiaolan is a "supreme yang" person, the fire on his body is very strong, and one of the manifestations of this exuberance is that he has to have sex with a woman at least five times a day in order to let the yang energy in his body vent out, otherwise his eyes will be red, his skin will be dry and cracked, and his whole body will be as uncomfortable as cramps, and he will be restless. Once Ji Xiaolan edited "Siku Quanshu", she was in the inner court for several days in a row, and she didn't have the opportunity to go home and have sex with a woman, so her eyes were red and scary, not only her eyes were red, but even her cheekbones were red. The emperor was shocked when he saw it, and hurriedly asked what was going on, Ji Xiaolan didn't hide it, so he told the truth, and the emperor laughed after hearing it, and hurriedly called two palace maids to come and give Ji Xiaolan a "fire".
Not only that, but some books also record that Ji Xiaolan can "see things at night" - that is, in the dark night, he can see things. And this point seems to have some similarities with the monk who only reads the scriptures in the dark.
But Huizhong knew that the symptoms of this kind of "Zhiyang" person recorded in the medical treatment book, Ji Xiaolan's symptoms were relatively mild. And those who are more "yang" should still be monks.
