Seeing that Yuan Miaozi was about to treat his leg injury, Shi An hurriedly said: "Then you have to work, I don't know how to prepare the medicine?"

"You don't have to dispense medicine. Saying that, Yuan Miaozi helped Shi An to sit up straight, straightened his legs for him, and gently touched the middle point on the outside of his left and right thighs.

"The Zhongdu acupoint belongs to the foot and yang gallbladder meridians, which can treat leg and knee pain, impotence and paralysis, and half of the body," Shi An remembered the distribution of acupuncture points taught by the master, and said softly: "If it is equipped with ring jumping, Yangling Spring, and Zusanli, it has the effect of activating the meridians and channels, and treats paralysis of the lower limbs." ”

"It's not that much trouble, that's enough. Yuan Miaozi said. Shi An only felt that two cool air currents went down the middle points of his legs, and in an instant, his legs, which had been inflated for a long time, had a trace of coolness, and the swelling pain disappeared a little.

"Today's treatment is over. Yuan Miaozi said.

"It's over, it's over?" Shi An was a little incredulous.

"Yes, you are in good health, I guess in two days, you will be able to run and jump on the ground. Yuan Miaozi said with a smile.

"Daoist Yuan Miao, your medical skills are really amazing, can you guide me if you have time?" Shi An said with an envious expression.

Yuan Miaozi smiled and didn't answer, just said, "It's time for us to go." ”

Shi An was still unable to act at this time, so Yuan Miaozi said: "When you climb too slowly, I will carry you out of the mountain, and then call a car." After that, without waiting for Shi An to refuse, he directly lifted him up and put him on his back, and left the Daozhen Temple with a flying stride.

An hour later, the two of them had arrived at the northwest corner of Cangmeng Mountain. The mountain pass was facing Jing County, Shi An sat on the ground on the side of the official road, and with the help of Yuan Miaozi, he got rid of the filial piety clothes that had already been tattered on his body, took out a capable and decent short clothes from his baggage and changed them on, and then waited quietly for the carriage to go to Xu County.

However, today is the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and the New Year is two days away, and it is difficult to see the carriage that picks up and drops off guests on weekdays. Half an hour's wait has made Shi An a little disheartened, but Yuan Miaozi still looks light. Not long after, a carriage that happened to rush back to Xu County for the New Year passed by, and the handlebar opened its mouth for three coins of silver, and Shi An was too lazy to bargain, so he hired this car.

Xu County is more than 400 miles south of Jing County, starting from Jing County to pass through Yi County, Qing County, Ping County, Jie County and other four counties, and finally arrive at Xu County.

The car was not big, and Shi An leaned in the car, and he could barely sit down Yuan Miaozi. He was a little reluctant to go, and wanted to lie down on the ground, and give up his seat to Yuan Miaozi, but Yuan Miaozi didn't care, and insisted on letting him lie down and rest, while he sat on the side and closed his eyes to recuperate. Just when it was almost dark, Yuan Miaozi suddenly opened her eyes, opened the sedan curtain and looked out, then woke up Shi An, pointed outside and asked, "Shi An, come and see, this is your family's medicine field?"

Shi An looked at it and replied, "Exactly." ”

Yuan Miaozi frowned slightly and said, "Oh, I see. ”

Shi An asked, "Daoist Yuan Miao, what happened to my family's medicine field?"

Yuan Miaozi said: "I see something strange, let's go later, I will tell you something at the right time, and you will understand when the time comes." After speaking, he closed his eyes and recuperated. Seeing this, Shi An didn't want to ask too much, so he had to let go of his doubts.

According to the meaning of the handlebar, it is best to enter Yixian County at night and rest overnight at the post station or inn, Shi Anxin knows that this Yixian County is now easy to enter and difficult to come out, so he is unwilling to detour as an excuse, so let the handlebar type be on the edge of the official road, sweep the snow and make a fire to rest.

In the early morning of the next day, the carriage set off early, and on the way, Yuan Miaozi treated Shi An for the second time, this time it was the same method, Yuan Miaozi tapped Shi An left and right in the middle of the acupoint. However, this time Shi An felt different from last time, no longer cool, but warm. After a few breaths, the swelling of my legs disappeared, the pain was gone, and the broken bones began to feel a little numb, crispy, itchy, and swishing, as if the bones were being reborn. Shi An couldn't help but envy Yuan Miaozi's medical skills again, but this time he didn't rashly propose to learn medical skills from Yuan Miaozi.

At this time, Shi An was able to land on both feet, although he could not stand, but he could already sit upright, and Yuan Miaozi could also sit more comfortably.

Along the way, Shi An has been carefully reading the 12 volumes of medical codex left by his master, combining many cases to carefully scrutinize the medical knowledge taught by his master and the medical classics he reads, and he has gained a lot. Yuan Miaozi always meditates quietly and does not talk to Shi An. Even if Shi An occasionally asked one or two questions about medicine, he often asked but did not answer, and after a few times, Shi An was embarrassed to interrupt Yuan Miaozi's practice.

What Shi An is puzzled by is that although Yuan Miaozi's cultivation is like folk rumors, it mainly relies on meditation to complete, but this kind of cultivation method with stone beads is unheard of. Yuan Miaozi is exactly like this, when meditating, she should always hold a round stone bead in her left hand, which is the size of a walnut, and if you look closely, there seems to be a faint, flame-like red light. What's even more strange is that once when Shi An was tired of reading and was about to close his eyes to recuperate, at a glance, he saw that the stone bead in Yuan Miaozi's left hand had become dull, no different from an ordinary stone bead, and after being thrown out of the car, it was like a trick, patting a small bag on his waist, and holding the same bead in his left hand. The small sac is not outstanding, such as the purse commonly used by those who have status in the market, made of animal skin, but there is no embroidery of any landscape figures, auspicious insects and beasts, etc., it seems that it is only used for use and not for decoration.

Arriving at the outskirts of Ping County in the evening, Yuan Miaozi said to Shi An: "Just rest here." ”

Shi An is also happy not to go to the county inn to rest, maybe the whole state wants to know that it is much safer to sleep in the wild than to rest in the city. When the fire was resting, the handlebar took out the dry food by himself, and ate and drank the tea in the gourd he brought. For two days, he had never seen the two passengers eat or drink outside, and thought they must have finished eating and drinking in the car. So while eating, he muttered in a low voice: "It's going to be the New Year soon, and I won't go into the city to live in a hotel, and I won't treat me with food, I really want to be two stingy ghosts." ”

With Shi An's ears, he had already heard these words clearly, and he didn't care about them, and still sat in the car with Yuan Miaozi.

Shi An suddenly thought of something and asked: "Daoist Yuan Miao, that Bigu Pill you gave me is indeed amazing, I used to have three meals a day, and I would have a great gong in the morning, and after taking that pill, not only was I not hungry, but I also had no need to defecate at all, what was going on?"

Yuan Miaozi said: "The food made of grains has the vitality that people need to survive, but there are also a lot of impurities, and after the vitality in the food is absorbed by the body, the residue and waste accumulate to form feces, which will naturally be discharged." And this Bigu Dan is a variety of spiritual ...... Ah no, all kinds of ingredients are made by removing their impurities, there is nothing other than vitality, naturally there is no feces formed, and water is also a truth, have you ever been relieved these days?"

Shi An thought about it, not only did he not need to eat these days, but he never felt thirsty, and he never felt like he had a bowel movement. "There really is no small solution. Yuan Miao Dao Chief, your Bigu Dan is so good, why don't you come up with a formula for the benefit of the world?" Shi An was a little puzzled.

You don't need to ask, you'll find out later. Yuan Miaozi said lightly.

"Yuan Miao Dao Chang, I always feel that you are an immortal. Shi An finally couldn't hold back his guess.

"Immortals, hehehe, where am I an immortal, just a cultivator, no different from you. Yuan Miaozi stroked his beard and smiled, and then asked Shi An: "Do you know what an immortal is?"

Shi An said without thinking: "The immortals are people in the sky, who can call the wind and rain, push the mountains and reclaim the sea, and have boundless mana. ”

Yuan Miaozi said: "Actually, gods and immortals are two different things, alas, forget it, you don't have to know these things, in fact, it's good to be a mortal." With that, his expression was gloomy. Then he closed his eyes slightly, obviously losing interest in the conversation, and was ready to meditate again.

Seeing this, Shi An sat next to him with interest and closed his eyes to rest.

The third day was Chinese New Year's Eve, and it was already dark. The carriage and horse arrived at a place three miles outside the north gate of Xuxian County. Shi An followed Yuan Miaozi's instructions and stopped the carriage.

In the car, Yuan Miaozi said to Shi An: "This is the last treatment, and after being cured, your leg strength is stronger than your original strength, but when you send the coachman away for a while, you must not show that your leg disease has healed." ”

Shi An was surprised, and asked puzzled, "Why is this happening?"

Yuan Miaozi said: "This matter will be known later." As he spoke, he tapped Shi An's acupoints in his legs, Shi An only felt a hot breath running along the meridians of his legs, only to hear a slight "crackling" sound at the calf, first the bone was extremely itchy, and then the pain, first a small pain, then a sharp pain, just when Shi An couldn't help moaning, the pain suddenly stopped. Later, when Shi An walked on the ground according to the instructions of the Taoist, his legs did not seem to have recovered from a serious illness, but he felt that his lower limbs were strong and powerful, and his leg strength was better than before.

According to Yuan Miaozi's orders, Shi An pretended to help the sedan car to get out of the car, and said to the handlebar: "There is Uncle Lao's hard work for many days, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, these five dollars of silver, except for the fare, the rest is your hard work." ”

The handlebar type was pleasantly surprised, the capital of the car was already very high for three dollars, and now two dollars were added out of thin air, and the five dollars of silver earned from this transaction were enough to catch up with the business of the past three months, and it was possible to have a good year. So he thanked him and complimented: "Childe, your legs are really fast, the day before yesterday, when you got in the car, you had to be a little and the Taoist master, but today you dare to help the car down, it is really auspicious." ”

Shi An was shocked, and the secret way was to pretend to be like this, which had aroused the suspicion of the coachman, if it was cured, it would be too sensational, and it would inevitably be spread out by Sun Lang, which would cause endless trouble. Or Yuan Miaozi thought about it thoroughly, so he said nonsense: "Where, the day before yesterday I accidentally sprained my feet, and I wiped it with safflower oil every day in the past few days, and it is better today." ”

The handlebar general was suspicious but full of joy and rushed home for the New Year.
