Chapter 42: Revisiting Lingyin Mountain

"Is it so serious? Don't scare me. Zhao Chuan looked at the women, pouted and smiled.

Seeing Huang Jin's worried appearance, Zhao Chuan didn't care so much, took out the silver needles from the small bag that Huang Jin carried, and pricked them one by one, except for the young lady of the Hou family.

After tossing for so long, I'm sleepy, and it's dawn in more than an hour, why do you want to do so much? Zhao Chuan was not satisfied with Huang Jin's mentality.

Two quarters of an hour later, he got up and left.

Seeing Huang was still stunned, Zhao Chuan pulled Huang into the third floor.

Huang Jin was a little reluctant, and it seemed that people were unwilling to have no treasure or no reward.

"Uncle Huang, after you have seen the illness to others, you have taken a look, you have touched it, and you don't want to leave, do you still want to ask people what benefits they want?" Descending to the second floor, Zhao Chuan asked him.

"How dare you ask for any benefits, it's good to be able to save your life in the future!" Huang Jindao.

"Then what are you still stunned about?" Zhao Chuan blamed.

Huang Jin paused thoughtfully, "I always feel that there is something to be done, so I am not in a hurry to ......leave."

Zhao Chuan snorted, laughed, and said, "That's because you feel that after seeing a doctor, you didn't give someone their precious gold, right?" Now that you are the ship's medical officer, are all the expenses for the passengers above the second floor to see a doctor and other things included in the ticket price? ”

Huang Jin smiled and said that it was true, it might be his previous professional habits.

Zhao Chuan entered his cabin, and the seven girls had already fallen asleep.

At dawn, the wind stopped raining, and the passenger ship was about to arrive at the Jiangzhou City Wharf.

Zhao Chuan informed the seven girls of the treatment of the third-layer woman last night, and the seven girls said that the pregnant woman was called Shuangyin Ren, and it seemed that there were evil people in the capital who cultivated the black law. Knowing these things is certainly not good for you.

Zhao Chuan said that I also feel like this, but now that I know what to do? Now I'm on the ship, and if I want to go, I have to get off the boat at the pier.

Before noon, the luxury passenger ship finally arrived at Jiangzhou Wharf.

Zhao Chuan saw that there was nothing abnormal on the dock, and there were no soldiers and errand officers, so he was relieved at the moment.

Hou Ye's group of people got off the boat first.

Zhao Chuan and the Seven Girls then disembarked.

Huang Jin was reluctant to Zhao Chuan, saying that the ship would dock at the dock here for a few more days to repair the ship, and you would come to the ship to chat with me after you were done.

Zhao Chuan said it depends on the situation.

Huang Jin said that you had better come to me, I have food and accommodation here, and it is free for you, and you are not as safe as me if you live in Jiangzhou City now.

Zhao Chuan said that he knew, and thanked Uncle Huang for his care.

Jiangzhou Wharf is outside Jiangzhou City, and there is still three miles away from the city, but there are many shops on the road, and it is not deserted at all.

But Zhao Chuan did not go to the city to find his master Xiaoyaozi, but took the seven girls to the Qingfeng Temple of Lingyin Mountain, and he planned to see if the third uncle Zhao Kai was there.

Qingfeng view is on the Lingyin Mountain in the southeast of Jiangzhou City, 20 miles away from the city, there are rivers separated by rivers all around the mountain, the mountain is high and the road is steep and the clouds are dense, the top of the mountain is rainy and foggy all the year round, it is said that there is a spirit god to guard since ancient times, so it is called Lingyin Mountain.

Qingfeng Temple is located on the southern slope of the mountainside, and the two walked on the mountain road without encountering a single pilgrim coming down the mountain.

At this time, it is the time of Shen, and many pilgrims and tourists should have begun to return, so why is there no one coming down?

Could it be that Qingfeng Guan has changed the rules and allowed outsiders to stay overnight? Zhao Chuan walked all the way, and there were some doubts in his heart.

Qingfeng Temple covers a wide area, the scale is not small, and the momentum is very magnificent from a distance. Probably the seven girls have never been to Lingyin Mountain, and they are curious to watch everything they can see while walking.

When the two climbed to the front of the view, it was the end of the Shen time, Zhao Chuan saw the tall and majestic mountain gate, remembered how many times he had been here before, and lived in the cave and waited for dawn, and felt a little emotional.

As soon as Zhao Chuan appeared in front of the mountain gate, he heard someone shouting in the distance, "Senior brother!" Slow down! The voice was full of surprise.

Zhao Chuan thought that it was someone else who was shouting, so he didn't stop and stepped directly into the mountain gate, and there was no little Taoist priest or others in front of the mountain gate.

I remember coming a few times before, there are always small Taoist priests guarding in front of the mountain gate, one is to welcome guests, and the other is to give a report on something. And there is a vacant land in front of the mountain gate, there are many servants who come, those people are resting here, and the little Taoist priests also provide corresponding tea service or something, and now this place is empty, and one person can see it.

Zhao Chuan didn't stop and stepped directly into the mountain gate, walking up the wide steps.

But the voice full of surprise came from afar, ran behind him from far and near, and shouted vigorously.

Zhao Chuan was a little puzzled, and he stopped. Because when he came to the mountain gate just now, he had seen both left and right, and there was no one, except for him and the seven girls, who was the junior brother he shouted?

Zhao Chuan stood on the steps, turned around and looked back, and saw a young Taoist priest in Taoist clothes coming out of nowhere, running here in the open space in front of the mountain gate at this time.

Zhao Chuan asked the seventh girl, is he calling me?

The seven girls said they don't know, and besides, you're not a Taoist? People are shouting for junior brothers!

Zhao Chuan looked around, but there was really no one else here, except for the seven girls and him. The Seven Girls are a woman, so they definitely didn't call her.

When that one got closer, Zhao Chuan sighed, it turned out that the person who came was Zhen Yuanzi, and he was introduced to him when he came here these times.

It's just that Zhen Yuanzi has lost a lot of weight, and his complexion is not very good, but why does he call his junior brother when he sees him? He is just a listed apprentice of the Zhengyi Sect Xiaoyaozi, and he is a member of the Quanzhen Sect in this Qingfeng Concept, and he doesn't go all the way at all.

Just wondering, Zhen Yuanzi rushed over panting.

"Oh, junior brother, junior brother! What are you doing so fast? I'm so tired of chasing. "Mamotoko is actually not that old, and she doesn't look like she is 30 years old at most.

Although Qingfeng Temple is very famous, and there are thousands of Taoist priests in it, Zhao Chuan has not seen many people when he has been there a few times.

Maybe he went to the wrong time or place, in short, he didn't see many Taoist priests here.

"What are you chasing me for? Dao Chief? Zhao Chuan said.

"Hey, hey, call senior brother, call senior brother! You can't break the rules. Mamotoko's face turned into a flower.

Zhao Chuan became more and more puzzled, who is the senior brother of your true yuanzi.

Although he worshiped Xiaoyaozi as his master, he was also temporarily called to kneel and worship by the third uncle at that time, but he just kowtowed, and there was no serious ceremony, and he didn't teach himself anything, and he didn't understand anything about Taoism, so it was hard to say whether it was a real Taoist priest.

Zhao Chuan looked at the seven girls, and the seven girls smiled and nodded.

"That'...... Senior brother, this, why can't you see a single figure here? Zhao Chuan pointed around and scratched.

"That's why I'm here to wait for you." Zhen Yuanzi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I've been climbing to a high place every day lately, lest I miss you and I won't see you." ”

What are you waiting for me here? And how did you know I was coming? The more Zhao Chuan listened, the more confused he became.

"This, aren't you here to see the Uncle Xuanjing you were looking for before?"

Zhao Chuan said yes.

But even if it is, you don't have to bother so much with this true yuanzi to watch and wait for yourself every day.

Zhen Yuanzi probably understood Zhao Chuan's doubts in his heart, but he didn't explain anything directly, just said that he was not in a hurry, follow him first, and you will understand something later.

Zhao Chuan had no choice but to listen to him and follow him.

Zhen Yuanzi took Zhao Chuan through the front hall, and there was no one in the front hall, not even Zhike Daoist.

I passed through the nave again, and saw that there was only a very small Taoist boy cleaning inside.

After the middle hall, Zhen Yuanzi took Zhao Chuan to a large courtyard next to him, turned two corners in the courtyard, and finally stopped in front of a row of houses.

"This is the residence of the Taoist temple host." Mamotoko said.

"What did you bring me here for?" Zhao Chuan asked puzzled.

Zhen Yuanzi didn't speak, and directly led Zhao Chuan into the room.

Indoors, the third uncle Zhao Kai was meditating with his eyes closed, and there was a little Taoist boy standing beside him.

"This is your third uncle, and my sixth uncle Xuan Jing, who is now also the acting host of the original view." Zhen Yuanzi pretended to whisper and said in Zhao Chuan's ear, which made people feel a little deliberate.

Acting host? What does it mean?

Zhao Chuan looked suspicious.

After Zhen Yuanzi brought Zhao Chuan in, he reported to Xuan Jing, who was meditating with his eyes closed, and then looked at Zhao Chuan again and withdrew.

Now there are four people in the house, Zhao Chuan and the seven girls who came to Xiang Xing, the third uncle Zhao Kai, that is, Xuan Jingzhun and the little Taoist boy around him.

After Zhen Yuanzi left, the "acting host" did not open his eyes, nor did he speak, and the little Taoist boy on the side did not have any expression, and the two people were motionless like clay sculptures.

Zhao Chuan shouted, "Third Uncle", and people ignored it.

The Taoist priest is not a monk, and when he becomes a quasi-master, he will not recognize his six relatives?

Zhao Chuan stood for half a pillar of incense, and finally couldn't hold it back, tilted his head and whispered to the seventh girl that he would play by himself, he wanted to ask this third uncle who was pretending to be deaf and dumb what kind of reputation he was doing.

Seeing that the seven girls went out, the little Taoist boy also went out and left, and the third uncle Zhao Kai opened his eyes and said, "Here, sit down." “

Zhao Chuan was displeased, and quietly sat cross-legged on the side.

The third uncle Zhao Kai said that when he came this time, he also found something abnormal in the Taoist temple, that is, many people in the temple were gone, because almost all the people in the temple went to the barracks of the Marquis of Jiangzhou.

Another anomaly is that I now live in this house that originally belonged to the presiding officer of the Seifeng Temple.

All this is because of the recent plague in Hou Ye's soldiers.

In addition to the medical officers in the army, Hou Ye took the county to find a doctor Langzhong to give treatment, but the effect was not ideal, and later even the city suffered from the plague, and the Hou Yefu was not included.

Seeing that half of the soldiers were reduced, Hou Ye was in a hurry, and ordered Qingfeng Guan to completely eliminate the plague among the generals, otherwise he would dismiss Qingfeng Guan.

Is there such a thing? What the seven girls said before coming seems to be true.

"I heard that Master Xiaoyaozi is also helping Master Hou to heal in Jiangzhou City?"

Zhao Kai nodded.

"But why dismiss Qingfeng Temple? This plague was not spread by the Pure Wind Practitioners. "Zhao Chuan is uneven.

Zhao Kai sighed and said that Hou Ye said that Taoist doctors are not separated, and Daomen can't even deal with a disease, so what else is there to talk about "Pudu sentient beings"?

Therefore, the host of Qingfeng Guan took almost all the Taoists who could help, and went to save the Hou Ye, but unfortunately the host was infected by the plague and died, I heard about it, and rushed back from the field urgently, and now Qingfeng Guan is at the threshold of life and death.

Zhao Chuan felt even more unjust after hearing this, your Hou Ye sent troops to suppress the bandits and eliminate the chaos, but he was hit by the plague, but what does this have to do with the Taoist concept of Qingfeng, and it will not be enough to blackmail people to dismiss the Qingfeng concept if they can't completely eliminate the plague.

Zhao Kai sighed again, and said yes, there is no such thing as "Pudu sentient beings" in Daomen. As Buddhism says, "all sentient beings can be saved", can all sentient beings be saved?

"Although the rain is wide and does not moisten the grass without roots, and the Tao is extremely difficult to abandon the people", although Taoist medicine can cure all diseases, but for those who have no sincerity and no faith, Taoist medicine is not curable, and it cannot be cured. Barely curing it will not have a good effect. Those soldiers did not believe in Taoism and respect for medicine at all, and the Qingfeng Concept was a Zhengyi religion, and the treatment system was mainly Zhuyoushu, non-herbal medicine and acupuncture, so the effect would not be too good.

First, because the soldiers did not believe it, the physical changes after treatment were regarded as the severity of the disease, and the second was that the patriarch secretly knew that he would naturally not support people who were not good. According to the investigation of the Taoist leaders in the temple, most of the soldiers recruited were mob bandits, who never did good deeds and offerings, and did not have the slightest sense of gratitude as a human being.

Again, the principle of Taoist healing, the disease of the human body, no matter what the plague is, in the eyes of the Taoist doctor, is nothing more than virtual and real.

Traditional Chinese medicine says that the disease of the human body is only in the qi and blood, and if the qi is deficient, it will be sick, and if the qi is stagnant, it will also be sick; If the blood is deficient, you will get sick, and if the blood is stagnant, you will also get sick.

The human body is in the dynamic balance of qi and blood to achieve the state of both fire and water, yin and yang, such a person is naturally disease-free.

When the balance of balance is broken for various reasons, the human body enters a sick state, which leads to suffering.

Therefore, the treatment of real diseases by Taoist medicine is to mobilize the energy of the patriarch into the human body, and use the pure energy between heaven and earth to open up the stagnant qi and blood, and make up for the lack of qi and blood, so that "all diseases can be cured".

As for deficiency diseases, most of them are caused by ghosts and spirits.

In the early stage of the disease, because it is invisible to the naked eye, the cause of the disease cannot be found, and no pathological lesions can be found.

In this case, Taoists generally do not easily use spells to deal with ghosts, but mainly rely on persuasion, understand the real reason why ghosts come to entangle, sort out the cause and effect relationship, and propose a series of solutions for them to choose from, if they are willing to accept mediation, try to meet their requirements, and then the matter can be satisfactorily resolved.

There are a lot of things that the third uncle Zhao Kai said, Zhao Chuan seems to understand it or not, and it is completely inconsistent with the medical skills of his ghost master Xiao Tianchuan, and it is expected that it is not a medical system at all.

Helplessly, Zhao Chuan could only respond to it after hearing it.

"Then, since this is the case with Qingfeng View now, why do you still come back to be this host? It's still a prospective host. Zhao Chuan waited until the third uncle finished his rambling before throwing out the doubts in his heart.
