Chapter 27: The Blind Woman Who Wept
More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye...
In Gusu City, the news that Dr. Tong's hand disease was cured was used by some poor people as a topic of conversation after tea and dinner, but as a low-level people, this little thing did not make much waves.
At this time, Zhang Xiuyuan was sitting lazily under the big banyan tree to enjoy the coolness, flipping through the miscellaneous travelogues in his hands, and there were two chirping larks standing on his shoulders...
In the rest of the month, he not only stabilized his cultivation, but also established a good relationship with the two bird neighbors on the big banyan tree.
The two little ones saw that he often went to the big banyan tree to practice and read, and from the first curious look, to slowly getting used to his presence, and then tentatively approaching him, they soon became one.
Whenever he was practicing, the two little ones would look at him with their heads hooked, as if they were curious about what he was doing.
And when he is idle to read, the two little ones will even take the initiative to fall on him to read a book together, or chirp with each other.
Zhang Xiuyuan is also happy about this...
After all, he is the only one in Taixu now, and with two little guys by his side, he can also be more angry.
At this time, on the cold mountain trail...
An Jiuling supported a middle-aged woman dressed in simple clothes and slowly moved her steps up the mountain.
The middle-aged woman was about forty or fifty years old, not only was she mentally sluggish, her hair was mostly gray, but even her eyes were gray, as if she was blind, and she had to rely on people to help her go up the mountain.
With a little uneasiness on her face, she looked very reserved, and asked Ai Ai, "Child...... Can my eye really be cured? ”
"I can't promise you..."
An Jiuling's background is not good, he ranks ninth in the family, and he was hungry every day before he was adopted by Tong Yongzhou, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is 'humble from the heart, and he is inferior to others in every way', so he also knows the thoughts of these poor people.
Seeing the woman's uneasy expression, he smiled and said with relief: "But my master said that if even my uncle can't cure your eye disease, then no one in the world can cure it." ”
"I know that your master, Doctor Tong, is a well-known benevolent person in the city, who is your uncle?"
"My uncle is a master of too vain contemplation..."
"Daoist..."
The woman nodded thoughtfully, and then asked cautiously, "But I don't know how much your uncle charges for helping people to consult people?" ”
"My uncle is an outsider..."
When An Jiuling saw her mention the consultation fee, a smile of honor appeared on her face, and she said: "For those who are sincere and kind, a penny is enough; If the person is cunning and cunning, even if he brings his uncle, his old man will not make a move. ”
After that, he saw the Taixu Guanshan Gate in front of him, and he didn't care about resting, so he shouted loudly into the Guanzhong: "Uncle Shi, there is a patient who begs you to heal." ”
“……”
Zhang Xiuyuan vaguely heard An Jiuling's voice, so he closed the ancient book in his hand and went out...
The two larks, who were playing on his shoulders, seemed to sense that something was wrong with him, and flapped their wings and flew to the treetops, tilting their heads and continuing to chirp.
Before he reached the mountain gate, he saw An Jiuling holding a middle-aged woman coming towards him...
An Jiuling saw that his uncle was ushering, and he hurriedly saluted: "Disciple An Jiuling, meet my uncle..."
"No need to be polite..."
Zhang Xiuyuan bowed slightly, and looked at the middle-aged woman who was slightly cramped.
Seeing that he was dressed plainly, his hands were full of cracks caused by years of labor, especially his eyes were gray and dull, he knew that he had an eye disease.
The middle-aged woman also knew the etiquette, and knew that she had seen the main master, so she hurriedly saluted and greeted: "The folk woman Li has seen the Taoist." ”
"No need to be polite..."
Zhang Xiuyuan glanced at An Jiuling, and when he saw that his finger was pointing at his eyes, he also knew why they came.
He stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Li, seeing that his eyes didn't blink, he asked, "What's wrong with your eyes?" ”
When Li Shi heard this, he seemed to think of something sad, and his face showed a little sadness, and he replied sneeringly: "Crying blind..."
"Crying blind?"
"It's a long story..."
An Jiuling interjected, then dragged Zhang Xiuyuan aside, and explained softly: "Uncle Shi, this Aunt Li lives in the same street as us, she has a son who is a good gambler, and she has lost all her family assets, and even the ancestral house was lost by the loser some time ago, and Aunt Li was so sad that she cried too much and was blind. ”
He sighed as he spoke, and said, "Master has a heavy psychological burden on eye diseases, so I want to bother Uncle Shi to help treat it." ”
"Yes..."
Zhang Xiuyuan bowed slightly, and said: "I'll go get the needle, you take her to the prayer pool to pray, just say that the heart is sincere, and the penny used for the prayer can be thrown into the pool water." ”
After that, he didn't ask any more questions, and turned to get the needle.
And although An Jiuling didn't know why Uncle Shi threw the consultation fee into the prayer pool, he didn't want to ask too much, so he only nodded and went back to help Aunt Li to the prayer pool.
Li Shi grabbed his hand, a little cramped, and asked a little worriedly, "Child, what did the Taoist chief say?" ”
An Jiuling patted her hand and said comfortingly: "Aunt Li, don't worry, Uncle Shi will go back to get the needles, and I will help you cure your eyes later." ”
"What about the consultation fee?"
"Didn't you just say it, just a penny..."
"Really, it's just a penny?"
"That's nature. Uncle Shi also said that the penny of the consultation fee should be thrown into the prayer pool. ”
"Prayer Fountain?"
"yes..."
An Jiuling smiled, and said with a roll of his eyes: "Uncle Shi is an outsider who does not eat fireworks in the world, Auntie, you only need to sincerely pray by the prayer pool and invest a penny, even if you are a pilgrim who is too vain, Uncle Shi, as the master of too vain contemplation, naturally has to eliminate disasters for pilgrims." ”
"That's... Is there any taboo in praying? ”
"Sincerity is spirituality, and there are no other taboos."
"Good, good..."
The two chatted all the way, and soon came to the edge of the prayer pool.
Under the guidance of An Jiuling, Li took out a wrapped worn-out handkerchief from himself, opened the handkerchief, and the bread inside was copper coins.
She took a copper coin from her handkerchief, and then carefully rewrapped it around her body.
Then he held the copper coin, closed his blind eyes, and made his most sincere prayer by the prayer pool.
She doesn't know what sincerity means, she only hopes that her son, who has fled from debt collection, can be safe......
Zhang Xiuyuan took the set of gold needles that Tong Yongzhou gave him when he worshiped his master last time, and saw that there was a copper coin wrapped in red dust and smoke at the bottom of the prayer pool, and he knew that it was done.
Led Lee to his guest room and sat down...
An Jiuling saw that Uncle Shi only took one milli needle, and asked curiously: "Senior Uncle, the last time the disciple saw you treat your master's hand disease, you only used one milli needle, and this treatment of blindness only uses one milli needle?" ”
"The reason for this blindness is that the heart is too sad, the liver and gallbladder qi are reversed, and the eyes are blinded."
Zhang Xiuyuan didn't hide it, and explained while applying the needle: "If it is an ordinary needle to treat this disease, you can take Shuangtaichong acupoint, Shuangyang Lingquan acupoint, Shuangguang acupoint, Shuanghegu acupoint, Yintang acupoint, Sibai acupoint, and fish waist acupoint, and repeat it about five times can also cure this disease. ”
"Oh~"
When An Jiuling heard this, there was a faint hint of excitement on his face, and he couldn't wait to find a small notebook to write down the words of his uncle.
He originally wanted to ask again, but when he saw that Uncle Shi was twisting the needle, he also had luck to channel the upward qi in Aunt Li's body, so he stopped making a sound...
Not much...
Li Shi only felt that his eyes were inexplicably dry and astringent, and he couldn't help but moisten his eyes with tears, and what was even more mysterious was that his originally blind eyes could see things vaguely at this moment!
Zhang Xiuyuan took the needle, saw Li rubbing his eyes, and reminded: "Aunt Li, you can close your eyes for a while, and you will be able to see things later." ”
Hearing this, Li Shi hurriedly closed her eyes, and after a while, she heard in her ears 'You can open your eyes', and she slowly opened her eyes.
When she saw the two people in front of her clearly, she also knew that she had regained her light, and she knelt on the ground with a 'poof' and called: "The people thank the lady for her kindness!" ”
