Chapter 25: Traveling West for Medicine
After more than ten days, Helian Long Mountain was gradually able to control the light spirit realm of the body.
Early this morning, Qian Muqing asked Helian Longshan to push him to a big tree outside the town, pointed to the branches sticking out from the height, and said, "Longshan, you try to jump up?"
Helian Longshan was a little timid, and thought secretly: "The branches are more than a zhang from the ground, if in the past, even if you use your hands, I am afraid you will not be able to touch it." Now that my meditation skills have increased greatly, I feel as light as a swallow, and I don't know if I can use it. "Thinking of the master's light skills, climbing the rock wall as if walking on the ground, jumping and flipping in the air and chic and free, he has practiced with the master for many days, and should also achieve something, I can't help but increase my courage sharply, take two steps forward, look at the branches, squat and gather momentum, exhale sharply, jump away, the body is like an arrow off the string, where can I still stop, first cross the branches, break a few branches above, and then fall, before standing on the branches.
Helian Long Mountain had never climbed so high, standing on the branch of a tree, dizzy, did not dare to stay, hurriedly took a breath, jumped down, felt that his body was as heavy as a boulder, could not stand, and fell to the ground.
Qian Muqing couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw Helian Longshan in a hurry and embarrassed. Although this was full of ugliness, Helian Longshan was overjoyed, and simply lay on the ground, dancing with his hands, and shouted at Qian Muqing: "Master, I'm going up, I'm really going up." ”
Qian Muqing was also very excited, excited about the progress of his disciples, and praised: "Stinky boy, yes, you finally lived up to my hard work." Long Mountain!"
When Helian Longshan heard Master's call, he hurriedly got up and ran to him, with a smile on his face: "Master, please teach!"
Qian Muqing asked, "What about Longshan, do you know why you hit a tree branch and why you fell to the ground?"
Helian Longshan said: "Please guide the master, the disciple doesn't know." ”
Qian Muqing said: "Buddhists believe that everything in the world is composed of four elements, these four elements are earth, water, fire, wind, earth, water, fire and wind, each with its own characteristics, the earth is strong, the water is condensed, the fire is warm, the wind is flowing, when practicing meditation, the body and mind are silent, and the earth, water, fire and wind in the body will interact, and there will be various feelings such as movement, itching, coolness, warmth, lightness, and weight. If you think that you are going mad, you will be frightened, and you will go insane and go crazy. Those of us who practice martial arts, in order to achieve the goal of causing the enemy but not to the enemy, through meditation, induce light and heavy touches, and after repeated exercise, to achieve the freedom of use, in the fight, they can be faster and more powerful than the opponent, and it is naturally easy to win. But this kind of effort needs to be coordinated with the breathing, the inhale is large and heavy, and the exhale is smooth and light. When jumping vertically, the strength of the waist and legs should be coordinated with the weight of the exhalation, and the practice is skillful. Just now you jumped down, your body is clumsy, you must have made a mistake in your breathing method. ”
Helian Long Mountain suddenly opened up, and said yes again and again.
Qian Muqing said again: "These two kung fu skills, at the same time, there are very few, for the teacher has practiced for many years, but only slightly achieved in light skills, as for heavy skills, they are never allowed to enter." You are gifted and intelligent, and if you practice these two kung fu skills at the same time, you must be very promising, and you must work hard in the future, and do not be lazy and destroy your future. ”
Helian Longshan fell to his knees with a puff, kowtowed to the master three times, and said, "Master, the apprentice must practice hard and live up to the master's teachings." Master......"
Qian Muqing saw that Helian Longshan wanted to speak and stopped, and knew what it meant, so he sighed and said, "Longshan, you get up." The teacher knows that you want to learn swordsmanship, but the swordsmanship is exquisite, all in the body and footwork, so that it can cooperate with the sword moves in order to defeat the enemy. I can't recover my legs, I can't walk, I can't give you a demonstration, and now I'm sending people under the fence, and it's inconvenient, so I can only teach you some boxing techniques first, what do you think?"
Helian Longshan blamed himself: "Master, it's all because I can't take care of it, and I can't let Master recover as soon as possible." ”
Qian Muqing said: "This has nothing to do with you. The Xuantie Tiger Palm is the strongest and most sunny thing in the world, and it has smashed my spine twice and broken my meridians, and I am afraid that I will not be able to stand in this life. ”
Helian Longshan cried: "Master, even if the disciple travels to the ends of the earth, he must heal your legs. ”
Qian Muqing was very pleased, so he taught him a set of Kaishan boxing techniques, and Helian Longshan carefully experienced it. Seeing noon, the master and apprentice returned to Ansheng Hall.
As soon as he arrived at the door, a guy in soapy clothes and black face came out from the inside, saw the two of them, and said coldly: "The two of you haven't left yet!"
Helian Longshan said angrily, "What do you mean by this!" The man also said angrily: "If you stay any longer, we will drink the northwest wind! ”
"Presumptuous, Hugh is unreasonable!" The two were arguing, Zhang Cheng hurried out, drank the guy, and apologized to Qian Muqing: "The guy is unreasonable, you don't have to mind." Drinks and food are already prepared in the back, so please go and eat. ”
Qian Muqing said: "Don't blame man, we have lived for too long. Qian Muqing knew that since his master and apprentice lived in Anshengtang, many patients switched to other medical centers, and Anshengtang's business gradually declined, and his income decreased greatly, although he didn't know the reason, but he knew that it must be related to him.
Helian Longshan angrily pushed the master back to the guest room, the servant had already brought the meal, and the master and apprentice discussed their future whereabouts while eating.
Qian Muqing said: "We have to go, for two months, Dr. Zhang insisted on giving me acupuncture, taking good care of us, and treating us like a mountain. We tried to leave several times, but he sincerely kept us, the old doctor is a bodhisattva heart, trying to heal my legs, regardless of personal gains and losses, now there are few such good people in the world. ”
Helian Longshan also secretly admired, so he no longer cared about the rudeness of his guys, and said to Qian Muqing: "Master, Doctor Zhang is indeed a good person, and we will thank him generously in the future." It's just that Master's legs haven't recovered yet, where should we go for medical treatment?" Qian Muqing didn't answer, just sighed lightly.
At this time, Dr. Zhang knocked on the door with his son, and he was rude to the right guy.
Qian Muqing said: "It's none of the business, we're about to leave." My leg has regained sensation, go back to slowly recuperate naturally can recover, two months, thanks to the seniors to help me, Qian is grateful, the coming day will be a reward. ”
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Doctor Zhang muttered: "Since Captain Qian is determined to leave, it is inconvenient for the old man to forcibly stay. The old man's medical skills were short-sighted, and he couldn't make Captain Qian stand up. What a shame!"
Qian Muqing said: "Qian was too seriously injured, if it weren't for the superb medical skills of his predecessors, I am afraid he would have lost his life long ago." Now that his legs have regained consciousness, they are a hundred times stronger than they were at the beginning, why should the old-timers blame themselves!" Qian Muqing is strong in martial arts, and he has been using exercises to heal his injuries all the time for two months, trying to forcibly open up the meridians of his lower limbs and walking on the ground, but he has never seen any effect.
Doctor Zhang knew what it would be like for a person who practiced martial arts to be unable to stand and walk, and comforted: "Your Excellency's legs are not completely unrecoverable, there is a medical case contained in the medical book of the ancestors, Hua Tuo once used the thousand-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus as a medicine to cure a patient, this person's spine was crushed by the beam, and the lower body was unconscious, and it recovered after the medicine. This thousand-year-old snow lotus is extraordinary snow lotus, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find it because it grows in the snow-capped mountains and cliffs. Why don't you go to the Western Regions and try your luck. ”
Qian Muqing was overjoyed, asked Dr. Zhang for the medical case formula, packed his luggage, and left immediately. Doctor Zhang prepared some dry food for the master and apprentice on the road, and gave a hundred taels of silver, Qian Muqing secretly thought: The Western Regions are thousands of miles away, and it is indispensable to spend silver money on meals and overnight stays along the way. The idea was decided, so it was convenient for the wheelchair to give thanks, accept the dry food and silver, and the master and apprentice went west.
