If you want to see the old immortals, you have to meet Li Shen, the king of Ji, first, which has almost become a routine.

Today's old immortals are no longer easy to appear in Chang'an Tai Hospital, but they are occasionally pulled by their own disciples and grandchildren to see some strange illnesses and judge the life and death of some people.

The main job of the old immortal has changed from curing the sick and saving people to writing medical books.

In the past, the medical books written by the old immortals were obscure and difficult to understand, and some of them were unfathomable, but after staying in Chang'an for a long time and coming into contact with a large number of patients, the content of the medical books written by the old immortals became pamphlets that could be understood as long as they were literate.

Nowadays, the medical content that the old fairy is vigorously promoting is to drink boiled water and wash hands before and after meals.

There is quite a bit of a back-to-basics meaning in it.

When Yun Chu entered the Ji Wang's Mansion and saw the old immortals, the old immortals were teaching a group of doctors how to wash their hands.

"Wash your hands, remember to wash them under running water, and apply soap to all parts of your hands, including between your fingers and nails...... : palms facing each other, fingers together, rubbing each other, palms of hands rubbing the back of the hands along the finger seams, exchanged, palms facing each other, hands crossed fingers rubbing each other......"

Simple things, the old fairy said very seriously, and took the initiative to personally demonstrate to a group of long-bearded and short-bearded healers, and supervised these people to follow his example.

After the group of people learned to leave, Yun Chu handed the old fairy a towel, but the old fairy didn't answer, and took a piece of linen that was obviously steamed and disinfected from the side and wiped the water stains on his hands.

"What the bald donkeys said is true."

After the old fairy said these inexplicable words, he sat on the rattan chair, leaned his back against the back of the chair, raised his hand and took a sip of the hot tea handed over by Yun Chu.

"Without a stable and strong light source, the accuracy of the mirror is not up to par, and the microscope that gives you a very limited view of the microscopic world."

The old fairy sighed and said: "I have seen some, with these things, it can prove that what you say is well-founded, and when the accuracy of the instrument improves, you can see more."

The Taoist view of illness is "qi", and we always feel that there is something in this world that we cannot see that affects our body and the world.

Through the telescope you gave, it can be regarded as really letting Lao Dao see the real thing, and it also opens a new door for Lao Dao, and the things in this gate are not even difficult for Lao Dao to figure out all his life......"

This was the first time Yun Chu felt a trace of helplessness in this old man.

"Lao He, they should be very willing to follow in your footsteps and continue to study."

The old fairy snorted and said: "The old He you said is a bastard, a good person is proficient in wine, wealth, and energy, and the little natural vitality on his body has long been dissipated.

Send a son to Lao Dao here. ”

The old immortal didn't mean to discuss with Yun Chu, and Yun Chu didn't mean to object, anyway, he now has two sons, no matter which one follows the old immortal, he has a bright future.

"Do you fancy Ah Jin or a little bird?"

The old fairy snorted and said, "Don't you dare to ask for a good child. The teaching is poisonous and ruthless, and it is incompatible with the idea of medical care to save the life and help the wounded, send the little bird over, I like this child. ”

Yun Chu smiled: "Okay, let him come over tomorrow morning." ”

Li Shen whispered to Sun Simiao on the side: "Xiao Yu'er is eleven years old this year......

The old fairy shook his head and said: "Your body has been losing money since you were a child, although you raised your body seventy percent later, and God also gave you a little face and gave a child, but this child is born with some deficiencies like you. ”

Li Shen has blind trust in the old immortal, even if it is related to the matter of his prince Ji Wangfu, he also listens to the old immortal, even if he is rejected, he still smiles.

Yun Chu said: "Is there only one disciple in the room?" ”

"Apprentice—"

"Oh, is there only one invasive grandson of Little Bird?"

Sun Simiao looked up at Yun Chu and sneered, "There are also seventeen Dao Tong. ”

Yun Chu nodded, this is like the person of an old immortal, almost all the doctors in the world are his disciples, and the view of the portal is a big joke for him.

These seventeen Dao Tong plus Yun Luan should be the inheritors of the new discipline of the old immortals, and it is also a new plan for him to preach to the world.

It's just that he preaches the world, and he is not a Taoist, but a doctor.

Yun Chu knew that the old immortal had always wanted to find a long-term inheritance path for Taoism that was truly not suspicious of the rulers, and could not be separated from, and needed strong support.

Obviously, he found the old man, that is, he firmly tied the doctor and the Taoist, and finally started with the doctor and developed more professions with the same principle.

In fact, Taoist learning has been a study of human beings since the earliest days, whether it is Fuxi's gossip, or Tai Chi has a great connection with people themselves, or in other words, the original goal of Taoism's learning is to serve people, but later they feel that the narrative of heaven and earth yin and yang is more grand, plus people have a strong curiosity about immortality, death, and the alternation of the world's withering and glory, and the occult occupies a great space in Taoist learning.

"This time, what kind of knowledge is the Taoist going to use as a breakthrough?"

Although Yun Chu had already vaguely guessed a few points, he still asked the old immortal.

Sun Simiao pondered for a moment and said: "In the past, we talked about the yin and yang of heaven and earth, and the desolation of the universe, but now we talk about a drop of water, a flower, a leaf, and a small world that is imperceptible to the naked eye. ”

Although the doubts in his heart were solved, Yun Chu still carefully reminded: "The monks have a detailed discussion of the microcosm, and the theoretical content is very rich. ”

Sun Simiao glanced at Yun Chu and said: ""Na Sumeru in mustard seeds" comes from the "Vimala Sutra: Incredible Product". Sumeru is a legendary mountain, and mustard seeds are tiny grass seeds. The meaning of this phrase is to incorporate the mountains into the grass seeds. Shows the Buddhist idea that everything is empty.

"One flower, one world" means that a flower contains the essence of the whole world. This concept originates from the Buddhist classic Huayan Sutra, which Zen Buddhism believes emphasizes a state of mind.

I hope that people should grasp the present moment and realize the mystery of the universe and the true meaning of life from a flower and a tree, and that a true monk can comprehend the vastness of life and even the universe from the small things around him and from the details.

You are Xuanzang's son, why don't you even know about these knowledge? ”

Yun Chu turned a deaf ear to the old immortal's ridicule of him, and continued: "You know, the words of Buddhism are still at the point of opinion until now, and people see that the Taoist master has taken out the microcosm, and if you have to integrate those truths into it, the Dao Gate will lose its opportunity. ”

Sun Simiao's gaze at Yun Chu began to become cold, even though Yun Chu's heart that had been cultivated for a long time was like iron and stone, facing the gaze of the old immortal, he was still a little uneasy in his heart, and he didn't know that he had said the wrong thing there.

"Do you only have wins and losers in your eyes?" Sun Simiao asked.

Yun Chu said: "If the Louguantai debate fails again, the consequences will be very serious. ”

Sun Simiao said angrily: "How serious can it be? Is it so important to open the eyes of the world and let the world understand the microcosm? What is right is right, even if it is misunderstood for a while, after the microcosm is known, studied, and discovered, do you still think victory or defeat matters?

Besides, if you want to say that the old way failed, let's talk about it after a thousand years! ”

Yun Chu didn't dare to speak again, he found that Lao Dao's hands on the armrests of the chair were beating violently, and he looked like he wanted to slap his face.

He didn't know when he had not been treated by the old fairy, and every time he met, he would be disgusted and scolded by the old fairy, and looking back at him, his eyes were full of hatred for iron and steel.

Yun Chu is going to take a good look after he goes back, and he must always find the crux of the problem.

"The disciple found a change in Master Xuanzang that was different from the past."

Although he was not treated by the old immortals, Yun Chu hurriedly asked the question he wanted to smell.

"Xuanzang is dead, and now what is alive is a skin called Xuanzang, since it is a skin, there is less suffering in the world, Xuanzang has recultivated his body for many years, pursuing inner peace and wisdom, in order to transcend the limitations of life and death fatigue.

Now, he has reached, the spirit has gone to the Pure Land of the Western Heavens, and the skin bag has stayed to comfort you, don't you rejoice for him? ”

"In this way, it can be regarded as immortality, right?"

"A broken pocket is a broken pocket, even if it is sewn and repaired, it is just a broken pocket, and it will decay one day, in addition, the immortality that the true wise man seeks is the immortality of wisdom, not the immortality of the body, but if anyone asks for physical immortality, it is a madman."

After being reprimanded by the old immortal, Yun Chuxin left the house where the old immortal lived with Li Shen, the king of Ji, satisfied.

Out of the courtyard gate, Yun Chu couldn't help but stretch his waist, just now he had been bending over at the old fairy, and he was really tired.

"The more Master Xuanzang lives, the more he looks like a Buddha, and the more the old immortals live, the more he looks like a human."

Li Shen, the most famous carving master in the Tang Dynasty, can still say a lot of reasonable words when he looks up at the sky with his hands behind his back, and he also behaves like a master outside the world.

It seems that his carving skills have reached the level of a master, otherwise, this kind of bearing would not have appeared in him.

"Your ninth brother washed Luoyang's blood again."

With Yun Chu's cold words, Li Shen's demeanor that he had just revealed suddenly disappeared, and he pulled Yun Chu's sleeve in fear and said, "Will he come again in Chang'an?" ”

Yun Chu said with a smile: "He is going to the Jiucheng Palace to recuperate, it is estimated that there will be no big moves for a long time, as long as you hold on until the crown prince ascends the throne safely, you will be stable in this life." ”

Hearing Yun Chu say this, Li Shen's yellow face gradually turned white, and he said to Yun Chu with his legs between his legs: "I'll go change my clothes." ”

Yun Chu looked at the inexplicable water stains on the ground and sighed, "It's more than that, right? ”

Li Shen never knew what shame was in front of Yun Chu, and while shaking his wet robe, he explained: "I know the matter of Luoyang, and I have always been afraid in my heart, you just said that the emperor is going to Jiucheng Palace to recuperate and not harm Chang'an, this kind of anger will come out safely, instead of holding back, it is better to release it happily."

You're not going to tell anyone anyway, are you? ”

Yun Chu promised not to tell anyone.

Li Shen quickly changed his clothes and wanted to leave with Yun Chu.

Looking at Li Shen, who still had a smell on his body, Yun Chu frowned and said, "Take a good bath, it smells." ”

Li Shen said indifferently: "I want to tell others the good news as soon as possible, so as not to suffocate them." ”
