Eighty-six, Zheng's strange square

Yao Banxian gasped for a moment, "I told the middle-aged man, this matter is not in a hurry, first tell me the truth of the matter, the strong man said that there are three very mischievous children in their village, fighting in the village, stealing things, burning other people's houses, doing all kinds of evil, parents can't take them, the government says that the children are too young to take care of it......"

Looking at Xia Yulong's head-licking appearance, Yao Banxian smiled, "You were also quite mischievous when you were a child, if it weren't for Xian'er to take care of you, maybe you would have caused some trouble, you have to thank Xian'er." ”

"Hehe, yes, yes!"

Ji En looked at Xia Yulong and smiled, and kept responding to Yao Banxian.

Xia Yulong's lips moved slightly, and he didn't know how to answer, and his face was crimson again.

Yao Banxian took a deep breath and continued: "The strong man said that the three children broke into the northwest mountain one day, the mountain is full of miasma all the year round, no one dares to approach, some people say that the mountain lives in the gods, and some people say that there are monsters in the mountain, in short, the mystery in the mountain is left to people to guess, but the mystery in the mountain was broken by these three children, two children were sucked dry in the mountain, and after another child escaped back, the villagers found that his whole body was covered with a needle-sized wound, and after two days, he became ill, When he was delirious, he tried to use his hands and said in his mouth, "So big, so big." ”

Xia Yulong asked, "This bowl of mouth-sized things must be strange insects in the mountains, right?" ”

Yao Banxian pondered for a moment and said: "I asked the strong man, what is this thing, the strong man said that it must be a god or a monster in the mountain, but only the three children have seen what it looks like, two children have died in the mountain, there is no proof of death, and the other said that although he escaped, he was so frightened that he couldn't say why." Later, the child's father and mother all suffered from this disease, and the disease was transmitted to the children in the village, and some pregnant women were not spared, and then it was transmitted to the young and middle-aged people, and the people in the village died, and the people in the village died, and the people in the village have died, and hundreds of people in the village have died from this disease, waiting for the death to come, and there are forty or fifty people, although they are not sick, but gradually the lives of these forty or fifty people will not be guaranteed, and they have asked a mage to come and destroy demons......

Xia Yulong asked, "Is this mage also infected?" ”

Yao Banxian sighed: "Of course, although this mage knows some spells, but he is also a mediocre person, if he is proficient in medical skills, he will not be in prison, even if he has a lot of knowledge, he said to the people in the village before he died, please ask the half-immortals of Longgu Town to come to the rescue, if you can't suppress the gods, let the half-immortals give the sick people to atone for their sins, hum, he knows that he has also offended the gods, and wants me to carry this with him, I am not a three-year-old child." Later, I relied on the records in the medical books to analyze the symptoms of chills, fever, and sweating in most of them, and found that this disease was very similar to a great plague malaria disease that occurred in the Central Plains at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, which killed more than 100,000 people.......

Yao Banxian sighed again, and said: "The strong man is indeed too ignorant and pedantic, he rejected me in one bite, and wanted to drive me and Xian'er out of the village overnight, he said that only by doing things can the whole village be saved, a small Artemisia annua is all over the mountains, what can be done, it was already dark at that time, if I and Xian'er were driven out of the village, there was neither a village nor a store on the road, we could only return along the road, I don't know how many dangers we would encounter when walking at night, I begged the strong man to stay with us for a night, but the big man said that he would never leave anyone if he didn't do anything, I said that he didn't agree, but fortunately, the old man with crutches interceded for us, and the old man said, let them try this prescription if it doesn't work, and it's not too late to pick people up. I begged, if it doesn't work, I'll do it again......"

Looking at Yao Banxian's panting appearance, Ji En hurriedly said: "Brother Yao, let's rest for a while, don't get tired!" ”

Xia Yulong also said distressedly: "Grandpa, let's talk about it tomorrow!" ”

Yao Banxian shook his hand and continued: "The people in the village picked a few bundles of Artemisia annua according to my instructions, and we squeezed these Artemisia annua into medicinal soup, and let the sick people take it one by one, the next day, the patient's symptoms were greatly reduced, and a few children could run on the ground, and the people in the village were all surprised, and I stayed in Tianbao Village with Xian'er for another day, and half of the people in the village were already well!" ”

Xia Yulong smiled: "Grandpa is really like a god in medicine." ”

Ji En also said: "Don't look at these inconspicuous flowers and plants, we can't find them when we need them urgently." ”

Yao Banxian smiled slightly, his face was full of pride, "Life is born in nature, and it will eventually return to nature, as the old saying goes, one thing descends to one thing, and everything in nature can become medicine." When Xian'er and I were leaving, the people of the village brought a lot of gold and silver treasures and put them in front of us, and I said to the old man with a crutch, "Money is not brought to life and death is not brought away, only Yin Virtue will accumulate more and more, so you should take your money back......"

As he spoke, Yao Banxian let out a long sigh, looked at Xia Yulong and Ji En and said with a smile: "It is undeniable that I did a lot of things that lacked virtue when I was young, and the older I get, the more I have to learn to repent, and I have to do something to accumulate yin virtue to compensate." ”

Yao Banxian laughed, the expression on his face was very proud, and said: "The old man with crutches stepped forward, cried and said, you are really a miracle doctor in the world, a living immortal who saves the suffering, I am also happy when I hear the words of the living immortal, but I gave the old man a few prime-age refreshment pills." The old man said, it's past noon, it's better to stay for a night, it's not too late to go tomorrow, but Xian'er has to shout to go back, the old man pointed to the fork in the road ahead and said, you go to the right, this road only needs to climb over a high mountain, called the wolf god mountain, there is a big river under the mountain, there is a ferry on the river all the year round, report my name Zheng Dongran can take a boat across the river, this road can save half of the time, but the mountain is quite weird, you be careful. ”

"Later, what happened to you and Xian'er going up the mountain?" Xia Yulong asked.

Yao Banxian smiled and said, "On the top of the mountain, we met the immortal who taught the Zheng family's strange recipes......

Yao Banxian and Zhang Xian went up the hill towards the path on the right.

Who would have thought that the whole mountain was full of cliffs, and the two of them climbed for a while with the help of dead vines before they reached the gentle place of the mountain, and as soon as they relaxed, there was another cliff in front of them.

The two climbed five cliffs in a row to reach the top of the mountain, there are no trees on the mountain, all are low dead grass, as far as the eye can see, it is really a glance of the mountains, and the red sun sinking in the west is urging the footsteps of the two.

Suddenly, there was the sound of a soo behind the two of them.

Yao Banxian looked behind him, and more than a dozen wolves grinned slowly towards them.

Zhang Xian was frightened and cried, and said, Grandpa, we were deceived and broke into the wolf's den.

Yao Banxian was also frightened, he clenched the feeling stick in his hand, comforted Zhang Xian and said, don't be afraid, let's go ours, don't provoke them, just a few steps away, the dozen or so wolves pounced, Yao Banxian and Zhang Xian pulled their legs and ran forward.

"And then?" Xia Yulong asked.

Yao Banxian looked at Xia Yulong who was very nervous, and said with a smile: "I know that you have special feelings for wolves, why shouldn't I, at that time, the bad old man was on the Lingshan Mountain, and I didn't deal with the wolves, I naturally wouldn't hurt them, I learned the wolves to howl a few times, they actually stopped, I ran forward desperately with Xian'er, and when the wolves came back to their senses, we had already run away, and the wolves followed closely, and when we were about to catch up with us, I suddenly heard a long and mournful cry in front of me......"

Xia Yulong said happily: "This group of wolves must have stopped and stopped catching up, and then they were scared away by the crying again?" ”

Yao Banxian nodded and pondered......

The wolves were so frightened that they stopped, but they didn't run, but stood and watched Yao Banxian and them from a distance.

This crying sound also frightened Yao Banxian and them, seeing that the sky was about to get dark, I didn't know if the crying person was a human or a ghost, and there were wolves behind him to intercept him.

At that time, Yao Banxian secretly complained in his heart, how could he believe the old man's words.

The crying in front of you stopped abruptly, and there was a long and mournful shout, you still haven't come up, do you have to wait for the wolves to eat you?

Yao Banxian and Zhang Xian walked towards the shout, only to see a small mound hidden in the weeds in front of them.

An old woman with gray hair in a gray robe, kneeling in front of the grave, weeping and burning paper money,

Zhang Xian looked at the words on the tombstone and said, The tomb of Old Lady Zheng.

Yao Banxian thought how old the old woman was, but when she turned her face, she saw that her face was fair, her eyes were bright, and she looked like a big girl in her early twenties.

The eldest girl looked at Zhang Xian and said with a smile, little girl, in the past thousand years, you are the first person to pronounce the words on my husband's tombstone, you are related to me, what is your name, and as she spoke, she stretched out her hand to pull Xian'er's hand.

Yao Banxian saw that the eldest girl's fingers were white, and rushed forward to block Zhang Xian's body, and asked, are you a human or a ghost.

The eldest girl laughed and said, in this wilderness, what do you say, she looked at the feeling stick in Yao Banxian's hand, and said, why doesn't your magic wand work, do you say that I am a human or a ghost?

At that time, Yao Banxian and the six gods had no owner, and they didn't know what to say.

How can the things of fate be clearly explained in one or two sentences......

The eldest girl looked at Zhang Xian and sighed, It's been a thousand years, and I finally met someone who is destined, and it's such a coincidence, look at this tombstone.

The two looked towards the tombstone, but saw that in addition to a few big characters on the tombstone, there were some strange prescriptions next to it.

Including the prescription for treating malaria, it turned out to be exactly the same as Yao Banxian's prescription for treating malaria in Tianbao Village.

Yao Banxian couldn't help but be shocked and asked, Could it be that you are the Heavenly Zen Divine Doctor, and the records in the ancient books are true.

The eldest girl smiled slightly and replied, even if you still have some knowledge, but you recognize the wrong person......

At this time, Ji En sighed to himself: "It's been more than a thousand years, and I'm still so young, and the gods are very well maintained!" ”

Yao Banxian squinted at Ji En, and said with a smile: "I remember the first time I mentioned this to you, you said the same thing, you still miss others, how do you know that I will take you with me." ”

Jien smiled: "When Yulong and Xian'er were young, you refused to take me anywhere, but now you love to take me wherever you go, you say that you are not angry." As he spoke, he looked at Xia Yulong.

Xia Yulong smiled and said: "This is the friendship between brothers, the older you get, the more reluctant you are to each other." ”

Ji En sighed: "If your half-immortal grandfather had brought me with him when he was young, my knowledge would have been much broader. ”

Yao Banxian stroked his goatee and said: "When I was young, there were not many people sent by Qiankun, if I took you, there would be no care at home, I came back from a long home and had a hot meal to eat, and a stable bed to sleep, besides, you were a beautiful man when you were young, I stood by your side much inferior, maybe one day I will be hooked away by a woman, I don't do this loss-making business." ”

Listening to Yao Banxian's words, Xia Yulong and Ji En looked at each other and laughed.

Xia Yulong asked again, "Grandpa, what happened later?" ”

Yao Banxian thought about it and told the story of what happened next......

The eldest girl said that the person in the tomb was her husband.

Yao Banxian was blindsided on the spot, and asked in disbelief, how is it possible, what happened more than a thousand years ago, can you live to be a thousand years old?

The big girl sighed, believe it or not.

Yao Banxian asked again, it is recorded in the "Medical Bible" that the Tianchan Divine Doctor later became an immortal, why did he sleep here?

The eldest girl was a little impatient, and replied, it's better not to ask what you shouldn't ask, so as not to cause trouble, I know about you going to Tianbao Village for treatment, it's going to be dark, you go down the mountain. ”

Of course, Yao Banxian wanted to go down the mountain as soon as possible, but the strange prescriptions on the stele attracted him, and he looked at the stele a few more times, wanting to write them all down.

The eldest girl said "oh" and said, almost forgetting it, as she spread out her right palm, and a small earthy yellow bag fell from the sky and landed in the palm of her hand.

The eldest girl stepped forward, looked at Zhang Xian and said with a smile, Little girl, I know that you are also a hard-working child, what is your name?

Zhang Xian replied, my name is Zhang Xian.

The eldest girl hung the bag on Zhang Xian's waist and said with a smile, child, you and I are destined, I will be your master in the future, this earthwork bag mother-in-law gave it to you, all the prescriptions in the world can be found in this bag, and your grandfather will learn medicine and medicine, and pass on the medical skills of the descendants of Yan and Huang, and the medical skills of the descendants of Yan and Huang will be excluded after more than 2,000 years, and you will not see it at that time, as long as we inherit it well, the medical skills of the descendants of Yan and Huang will be passed on for generations......

At that time, Yao Banxian was a little excited, his eyes were full of tears, and he pulled Xian'er to kneel on the ground to thank him.

The eldest girl helped the two of them up and said, you saved the entire Tianbao Village, I should thank you, you will be able to get home soon after taking this road.

Yao Banxian asked rhetorically, what, do you know Zheng Dongran?

The eldest girl replied, "He is my eighteenth generation."

Yao Banxian felt incredible, and calculated that it had indeed been a thousand years, and he asked the eldest girl why he didn't teach the earthwork bag to his children and grandchildren.

The eldest girl sighed and said, everything in this world does not belong to which family and person belong forever? Everything has to be about fate, and this earthwork bag is the same, you have to follow its master, don't talk about this, it's already dark, you go down the mountain.

Yao Banxian and Zhang Xian knelt down to say goodbye to the eldest girl, and only walked a few steps, and when they looked back, the eldest girl and the tomb were gone.

"And then, is that earthwork bag really so magical?" Xia Yulong asked.

At this time, a strange aqua blue light outside the house wandered around the courtyard of the Qiankun Sect for a while, and then went straight to Yao Banxian's bedroom.

The entire Longgu Town was as silent as death.
