Chapter 1: The Ghost Doctor
Liang Tuoxuan of the Qing Dynasty once said in the "Self-Preface to the Encyclopedia of the Department of Furthology" that the way of medicine is the smallest, and the subtle is impossible but to study deeply; the prescription of medicine is the widest, and the wide is not careless.
What does this mean, turning it into the vernacular, that is, the doctor's way, the smallest, you must always pay attention to the slightest place, but the doctor's way, and the largest, to what extent, so big that you can't be careless.
When I was a primary school doctor, the master had just led me into the door and said to me, "Those who study medicine should have the principle of the five elements of yin and yang tomorrow, and the harmony between the heavens and the times will be the cause of the people's illness."
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to make me superstitious a little bit and believe more in the doctrine of the five elements of yin and yang.
The reason why I say this is because my master's own ability is also an evil thing.
Not only to heal people, but also to heal ghosts.
For example, if you have a cold and fever, something must have entered your body, causing the yin and yang elements in your body to lose their balance and become sick.
So in our industry, we have a nickname in the southwest region, called ghost doctors.
My name is Tu Feng, and I am the thirteenth generation of ghost doctors.
When the little master taught me the craft, he always couldn't forget to mutter, ghost doctor ghost doctor, no trick no doctor, magic doctor ghost hand, hand to evil.
It probably means that those who have done our ghost doctor's business will basically not take action for minor illnesses and disasters, unless someone is sick because of such a strange thing, it is the time for our ghost doctor to take action, of course, if you don't make a move, you will be even!
Not only that, but ghost doctors generally use their own unique means to make the treated person achieve the balance of the five elements and the physical condition of abundant qi and blood.
As the old saying goes, if you have a good body, wealth and good fortune will not come from you, so the ghost doctor is actually the same as the Taoist monks in the temple who pray for blessings.
It stands to reason that in the current era, families are basically free of food and clothing, so asking for wealth and praying for blessings has naturally become something that people urgently need - who would think that the RMB is not in hand.
But before he died, the master must have told me not to touch the ghost doctor again, and to be a little doctor honestly, just have no worries about food and clothing.
In fact, the reason why my master is so opposed to letting me use the means of a ghost doctor has to start with the incident of the little ghost killing people.
It happened a few years ago, two years after I studied with my master.
At that time, in the southwest region, public security was extremely poor, and there were many drugs and traders, human trafficking, and then the underworld, and it was not uncommon to set up stalls with guns and ammunition.
At that time, a wealthy businessman in the southwest region came to my master and wanted to ask him to show him.
When my master got there, he glanced at it with his palm and waved his big hand, "I'm sorry, I can't see your illness." ”
With that, he rolled his sleeves and turned around and went out.
Seeing this situation, the middleman who delivered the message was also numb, and hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed my master's sleeve, "Old man Chang, didn't you promise me to help me see a doctor some time ago?"
My master was not very good-tempered at that time, and broke away from the man's hand, "I am a ghost doctor, I don't look at it for three times, I Zhang Yanhe will let out the words when I left the master thirty years ago, can you not know?"
Who knew that the middleman was also a dead-faced hob meat, sitting on the ground with his butt and holding my master's thigh and not letting go.
In fact, if you don't look at these three, there is also a saying in the ghost doctor's profession
First, do not look at the people who are greedy and dig up the law, second, do not look at the disloyal and unrighteous people, and third, do not look at the people who take the blame on themselves, this is the three taboos of the ghost doctor's line.
My master looked coldly at the middleman who was rolling on the ground, pointed to the rich businessman sitting on the side and said, "I don't look at the three here, you and I are both clear in our hearts, this ramming goods and three taboos are all committed, even if I find the king of heaven Lao Tzu, this life has to be taken here." ”
Without waiting for the middleman to stand up, the rich merchant couldn't sit still at first, and directly beckoned a few dogs to give my master a fat beating, and then drove out.
When I got home that night, I took a hot towel to help the master apply the bruises on his face, and the master said to me, "That rich merchant, his legs are straight and his back is stiff, but his whole body is rickety." ”
I thought about the success of the rich merchant today, and it was not bad at all with what my master said.
The master took the hot towel in my hand and put it in the corner of his eye, and then said, "In this case, at first glance, it is the soul of a child riding on his neck, and the black gas on the top of his head surrounds, that is the curse of God. ”
I followed my master's words and asked, "Why can't I see the black clouds overhead?"
The master smiled, "Let's talk about it when you kid meets a noble person and opens his eyes to heaven." Then he waved his hand and let me out.
Less than half a month later, the TV reported the mysterious death of a wealthy businessman - early in the morning at home, I don't know why I started with my hands, and the flesh on my body disappeared little by little, and while disappearing, there was a clattering chewing sound.
As a result, the day after the accident, the wife of the wealthy businessman came to my house with a group of media and said that the master was a quack doctor and had killed his husband.
My master didn't say anything, just stood there, let the woman taunt, and finally until the police investigated, they couldn't find any clues at the master's house, so they couldn't do it.
After such an incident, my master's business naturally became more and more bleak, that is, at this time, the master had such a heart disease, and he died in less than two years, leaving behind this will that I was not allowed to use the ghost doctor's technique.
However, although the master said so, he still couldn't bear to let the ghost doctor's skill be cut off, and although he didn't let me use it, he still taught it to me.
After finishing the master's funeral, I also opened a small Chinese medicine hall at the junction of urban and rural areas, and ate mixed food.
......
Until recently, I got into a troublesome situation, and I began to think about using the "ghost doctor" method to make money.
Just a week ago, I was in the house to see a doctor, and my mother suddenly called and said that she couldn't stand the stomach pain.
I quickly put down my work and rushed home, and when I got home, my mother was lying on the floor of the living room, trembling all over, one hand still pressing her stomach, and her mouth kept yelling.
