Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Medicine House Ghost Hand Doctor Saint
Of the eight states of Great Chu, only Youzhou hangs on the southwest border, and although the area is vast, half of the place to the west is a desolate Gobi with no vegetation.
But if visitors choose to walk to the south for sightseeing, the greenery will gradually become more, and the closer to the Southern Tang Dynasty, the more beautiful the scenery will be.
Especially in this Youzhou, there is a world-famous scenery called Wanfeng Forest, it is said that this place is formed by the convergence of 10,000 continuous mountain peaks, so it is called Wanfeng Forest.
Speaking of this Wanfeng Forest, it was actually not very famous in the previous dynasty, and it was little known in this Youzhou locality.
It wasn't until the end of the previous dynasty that an aspiring scholar traveled here and wrote the next article "Traveling to Wanfeng Forest" that this Wanfeng Forest was completely famous all over the world:
Yu Fang went to Beijing for 20 years, lived in the world for seven years, and had the ambition of the sky, and the revelations were all in vain.
On that day, I suddenly felt that my heart had been trapped in the cage for a long time, and I took one or two scholars, three or five silver coins, and seven or eight clothes, and lived between heaven and earth with a crippled body.
Traveling for three years, when to Youzhou, only to know that the scenery of the border plug does not lose the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the road meets an old man, you have to smell a scene, you can see it for fifty miles in the south, it is called Wanfeng Forest, and the mountain peaks in the world are half out of this place.
Yu was surprised, there was no doubt about it, and he walked south for a day, and finally saw the wonders of the world, saying: "Great goodness." ”
The water is green, the fog is vast, and the gathering of thousands of peaks becomes a forest, and the confluence of hundreds of streams becomes a river.
Between the mountains, the pines and cypresses are opposite, if you are in this mountain, you can hear the murmuring of the water, go back and forth a hundred steps, the river falls in the two peaks and becomes a waterfall.
You have to watch the scenery of the four o'clock, go west towards the white crane, see the ape frolicking at noon, fly together at dusk, and the tiger roars in the mountains and forests at night.
Yu Chang sighed for a long time, so the knot lives here, the stream fish and mountain dishes, one after another, sit and watch the clouds and tides surging, lie down and count the stars in the sky, there are gourds placed horizontally on the ground, and visitors are slowly drunk.
Once this "The Story of Traveling to Wanfeng Forest" was born, it not only fulfilled the Wanfeng Forest whose scenery should be the best in the world, but also made the scholar who stayed in the capital for seven years and only mixed with the six-rank official body go down in history.
The scholar's name is Zhao Wenxiu, in fact, after he wrote "The Story of You Wanfeng Forest", the emperor of the previous dynasty sent someone to invite him to return to the court to be an official, as if he was still a three-grade squire, but he politely refused, claiming that he was happy with the beautiful scenery here, and he no longer had half a reverie about being an official.
After that, he lived in seclusion in this Wanfeng Forest all his life, and it was not until he was close to Gu Xi that he made up his mind to return to his hometown, saying that although this place is good, it is not a place to bury bones, and he has to return to his roots.
After that, there were many people who came here to learn from Zhao Wenxiu and live in seclusion, and at the same time expected that the imperial court would be able to learn from the previous dynasty.
In addition to the fact that there are a lot of bullshit readers who have not read a few of these books, there is another kind of person who comes to live here, and that is the doctor.
Speaking of the place where Zhong Lingxiu is beautiful between heaven and earth, this Wanfeng Forest does not dare to say that it is the first in the world, but the second, third, and the worst is also the fourth, how can there be a place for it.
Therefore, there are many rare medicinal materials that are not easy to find in this mountain, but if there is some fame in the rivers and lakes, and the doctor who is called a miracle doctor, if he says that he has not come to this Wanfeng Forest to find medicine, it will be laughed at.
Now, in the waterfall recorded in Zhao Wenxiu's "The Legend of the Forest of Wanfeng", there lives a doctor who claims to be able to live the dead, flesh and bones, and he dares to rob people in front of Lord Yama.
However, no one knew his name, only that he had the title of a ghost hand, so the world gave him the name of a ghost hand doctor.
Speaking of his name as a medical saint, it comes from a very legendary bet, saying that there is a cult called Five Poisons in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and this sect's kung fu is not outstanding, but it has a deep study of poisonous insects and poisons.
Once, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect developed a powerful poison, named Yipin Death Pill, colorless and tasteless and has no antidote to detoxify, known as the world's first poison pill, even the master of the first product of the mortal realm will be poisoned by it, only the first product of the stage realm can be regarded as some way to live.
When this ghost hand doctor went to the Southern Tang Dynasty to look for medicine, after seeing this pill, he said that it was just a mixture of one hundred and eight poisonous insects, poisonous herbs and poisonous flowers, and the world's first poisonous pill was just a false claim.
Hearing this, the Five Poisons Sect Leader was naturally very unconvinced, so he proposed to compete with him, and the two of them ate each other's poison, and whoever could detoxify the poison would win.
As for the one who failed to detoxify, it was naturally a dead end, so what if both of them failed to detoxify?
What the leader of the Five Poisons Sect took out was that kind of Death Pill, and the Ghost Hand Medicine Saint had cured the poison in only half a pillar of incense after eating it.
On the contrary, it was the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, if it weren't for the ghost hand doctor saint who saw him pitiful and took action to relieve the poison for him, then he was afraid that he would really die.
After this bet, the name of the medical saint spread, and countless people came to him for medical treatment.
can be said that he is also powerful enough, at that time, he solved three of the five terminal diseases that made countless doctors on the rivers and lakes scratch their ears and cheeks, and some strange and incurable diseases were easily solved in his hands.
At first, he would treat him carefully, but then he was occupied more and more time, more and more, so that he didn't have time to study medicine, so he hid here for thousands of miles to build a medicine house.
Later, it was not that no one found this place, but he made a rule, it is okay to save people, but you have to go to this Wanfeng Forest to find one for him or bring your own medicine.
This so-called big medicine refers to rare medicinal materials that are more than 500 years old, well-preserved, and not in bad condition, and such medicinal materials are rare in Wanfeng Forest.
Big medicine is even more rare, at the beginning, some people were lucky to find one or two plants, but later it was too difficult to find, and few people on the rivers and lakes came to find this ghost hand doctor saint.
Some people may say that if you are a defenseless doctor who asks you to save someone and grind and chirp, you are not afraid of being stabbed to death by others?
But in fact, doctors have a very high status in the rivers and lakes, and if anyone dares to seek revenge against the doctors, then all the doctors in the rivers and lakes will not treat him from now on.
Because no one can guarantee that they are not injured, if there is no common hatred, no one will be embarrassed by the doctor.
Besides, who said that the doctor must be defenseless, the poison of this ghost hand doctor saint has not even been able to unravel the sect leader of the Five Poisons Sect, not to mention those reckless men who don't understand anything, if he secretly gives you a little, who can stand it!
"Get out, you stupid boy, who the hell let you use Lao Tzu's medicine! and your master has a stinky virtue, Xu San'er, take him out for me, don't let him sneak in again!"
There was an extremely angry voice from the medicine house next to the waterfall, although this voice sounded a little old but full of energy, it seemed that the old man who spoke was well cultivated.
After the old man had finished speaking, he saw a boy with red lips and white teeth pushing a young man out, then reflexively slammed the door shut, and then turned back angrily and looked at the young boy sulking.
Needless to say, this person who can be disliked by all ages is no longer there, there is no one else in the world except Ergou.
When he cried and shouted to his mother to dig the old man Wang Xuanlang out of the mountain, Wang Xuanlang was still breathing, and he told Ergou before he fainted that he would take him to this Wanfeng Forest to find the ghost hand doctor.
In the end, under the escort of Duan Wudao and Hua Xueji, they arrived here safely all the way.
After Wang Xuanlang recovered, Hua Xueji and the others left one after another, after all, they were both dragged by their families, and there were still a large group of people who needed them to take care of.
"San'er, just let me in! What is the relationship between the two of us, I promise not to touch anything this time, okay, my master is still lying inside! I don't feel at ease if I don't go in and look at him. ”
The little boy who was called San'er by the second dog snorted and twisted his face to the side, his angry appearance was really cute, no wonder the two dogs always made him angry intentionally or unintentionally.
"Ergou, don't try to lie to me, that's what you told me yesterday, my master said it, Grandpa Wang, he is already fine, and you don't need to worry about it here. ”
"Then when I told you like this the day before yesterday, didn't you let me in. ”
Xu San, who was poked in the sore spot, blushed, compared to his own Mu Na character, this Jiang Ergou was really able to speak well in his eyes.
"Ergouzi, anyway, I won't let you in again what you say today, when my master administered the needle medicine to Grandpa Wang, you had already damaged my master's two big medicines, and if this continues, my master will have to be angry with you. ”
"Hey, San'er, you're responsible for what you say, I'll just reach out and touch it twice, something can be broken so easily. ”
When it came to his professional knowledge, Xu San looked at Jiang Ergou with disdain.
"What do you know, there are some medicinal materials that cannot be directly touched with your hands, such as the main medicine used for Grandpa Wang's treatment, Yuqing Colorful Lotus, it can only be accessed with jade, and after reaching out and touching, it will lose thirty percent of its medicinal effect, as well as the red sandalwood root, only by keeping him in the red sandalwood box, his medicinal effect can be preserved for a long time. ”
After listening to Xu San say a lot, Ergou's eyes showed curiosity.
"San'er, isn't this medicine just used to cure diseases and save people, how can it be so mysterious as you say. ”
"Alas!"
Xu San sighed, as if he was lamenting the ignorance of the two dogs, and then he pretended to learn the tone of his master's speech.
"Our medical path is not bad compared to martial arts, if we can go all the way to the pinnacle, it is enough to renew the soul of others and change their lives against the sky!"
Ergou didn't think that what Xu San said was true, it was estimated that he was fooled by his medical master, but Ergou was not easy to break people's illusions, so he didn't object to it, but pouted his lips faintly.
"Old thing, your injury is no longer a big deal, when to get out, give me a happy word, Lao Tzu has no extra food here to feed you. ”
Wang Xuanlang, who had woken up half a month ago, put on his clothes with a hippie smile.
"Hey, hey, hey, let's go, I've brought my apprentices here, and you're still looking forward to me leaving? Let me tell you, my apprentice and I have been eating here for the rest of our lives. ”
It's okay not to mention Jiang Ergou, as soon as he mentions it, it reminds the ghost hand doctor saint of the two big medicines that were almost destroyed, thanks to the fact that he found it early, and now he can save it, if it is a little later, it will really be destroyed.
"You still have the face to mention that apprentice of yours, exactly the same as when you used to, hairy, can you still practice the sword well with such a character?"
Wang Xuanlang put the last coat on his body and said as a matter of course.
"I, a hairy master, can practice, why can't his hairy apprentice practice?"
"Humph!"
The ghost hand doctor snorted coldly and didn't continue to talk about this topic, he had known this old man Wang for half his life, and the ghost hand doctor clearly knew that he couldn't talk about each other in these twists and turns, just like the current Ergou and Xu San.
"This time I went to Nantang to find that guy, but I always felt that even if you had the current realm, you still couldn't beat him. ”
"What if you can't beat it?"
Hearing the words of his old friend, the ghost hand doctor saint did not say anything to dissuade him.
This old guy who doesn't seem to care about anything is actually the most important thing about everything and can't let go of anything.
"If you could really live here for the rest of your life..."
The ghost hand doctor seems to have seen some interesting picture, but it is estimated that it is also a scene of arguing with Wang Xuanlang.
"Not bad, either. ”
