"I was stunned for a moment, and said, 'The master has not been in the temple for a few days, but I don't know where he has gone?' The master said, 'Just because of your special condition, although I can heal you, I am not sure, so I went out to find my junior brother and wanted to ask him to help you heal.' ’

"'Oh, can the master invite your junior brother?' I asked eagerly. The master shook his head and said, "No, but the donor doesn't need to worry, although my junior brother refused to come, he taught me the method of healing, so as long as the donor does it according to my method, the probability of healing will be greatly increased." ’

"I was confused in my heart, and I was about to ask again, but he waved his hand to stop me and said, 'Master Mashi, I have some books on Buddhism here, if you are interested, you may wish to read them, it may help your condition.' He placed a few books on the table, then bowed and exited the chamber. ”

"Hehe, this old monk is also funny, when has it been, he even sent Buddhist scriptures, who still has the heart to see these. Qiao Zhengyu suddenly smiled.

Ma Guangyun also smiled and said, "Uncle Qiao is wrong this time, others may not be able to see it, but I am different." I like to read books since I was a child, no matter what kind of book it is, as long as it is written by someone, I can read it, not to mention the boredom and loneliness in the secret room, what can I do if I don't read books.

"I got out of bed, came to the table, picked up a random book and opened it. After only reading a few pages, I felt a strong sense of interest and deep feelings, and I felt that I hated to see each other late, so I immediately sat down and read it slowly. The book is full of life philosophies, profound meaning, broad and profound, if in the past, ordinary people could not understand at all, but for a dying person, it has the effect of relieving illness and broadening the mood.

"There were dozens of books on the table, piled together about a foot high, but I had forgotten them all when I read them all. In one night, I read all the books unconsciously. When I put down my book and got up and stretched, I realized that the old monk had come to the door.

"'The benefactor was so elegant that he read all the books in one night, and the old man admired. The master snorted, a smile on his face. I returned the salute and said, "It turned out to be a master, and I have won the award, please come in and talk about it." The master smiled and said, "No need, the old man still has to prepare for the benefactor's healing, so he won't bother you." He instructed the little monk to remove all the books and put some new ones in the new ones.

"'Master Mashi, take care of your health, the old man has taken his leave. Then he closed the door and left the secret room with the little monk. When they left, it was quiet again, and I couldn't wait to pick up the book and keep flipping through it. Maybe it's because I don't have any hope of healing, and I just want to read more books before I die.

"Those Buddhist books and classics are rich in content, and have a unique understanding and analysis of all the affairs of the world, although the words are old-fashioned and sluggish, but every sentence is a profound experience, carefully summarized and the results are obtained, so that people suddenly understand. Especially me, a dying person, has a deep understanding and forgets all my troubles.

"The master was also strange that he would show up every morning on time, and then change the book and put it back with a new one, without saying anything about healing. Sometimes I would ask a few questions, and he would always use the excuse that he was still preparing, and then he would leave. I didn't care about it, and when he left, I flipped through the book and read it, and the days passed day by day, and before I knew it, more than half a year had passed.

"During these years, I studied hard every day, gained a new understanding of life, and saw everything plainly, and never urged the master to heal me. Strange to say, I used to have a headache every day, but since reading the sutras, it seems that this symptom is gradually decreasing. From once in two days, to once every five or six days, until later, it didn't hurt for a month, and it was like getting better. ”

"Oh, that's strange, the old monk is already secretly helping you heal. Presumably he added some medicine to his meal, so you don't know it. Qiao Zhengyu doubted.

Ma Guangyun shook his head and said: "No, I have also thought about this problem, and I have paid special attention to the food for this reason, but the taste and fragrance of those meals are the same, not like they have been put in medicine." I remember one time, I also let the little monk take a bite, and there was nothing wrong with it. ”

"That is, the old monk is hiding in the dark to do his work, he is in the dark, and you are in the light, so you don't know at all. Qiao Zhengyu guessed.

Ma Guangyun smiled: "Hehe, Uncle Qiao thinks too much. The old monk didn't know any martial arts, just an ordinary monk. Like the monks in those temples, in addition to eating fasting and chanting Buddha, the only difference may be that the medical skills are more skillful. ”

"That's weird, let me think about it. Qiao Zhengyu pondered for a moment, suddenly thought of something, and said: "I understand, it's those Buddhist books, you must have read those books before your condition improved, as for why, I can't say." ”

Ma Guangyun nodded and said, "Well, Uncle Qiao is right this time." I remember one day when the master came to the secret room again, and I told him about it. The master was overjoyed when he heard this, nodded and said, "It seems that the junior brother's method is really effective. When I heard what he said, I asked him why.

He didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "Master Ma, the so-called craniotomy is just a legend, and the old man's medical skills are limited, but he doesn't have that kind of ability. But the monks are merciful and can't die without help, so I have to temporarily promise your father to calm his mind.

"But the monks don't say anything, and since they have promised, they must do it. For this reason, I think of my junior brother, who is not only a skilled doctor, but also a master of Buddhism. When he learned about your illness, he discussed with me how to save you, so he set up the method of reading Buddhist scriptures. ’

"This is also a way to count on the Buddha to appear and save people's lives with great mercy. Even if it fails, the donor can leave with peace of mind and go to the Western Elysium to get out of the sea of suffering. Who would have thought that Lord Ma Shi had the blessing of the Buddha, but he escaped death and regained his life, which is really boundless Buddhism. Amitabha. ’

He motioned for me to stretch out my hand, gently put two fingers on my wrist, listened carefully for a while, and nodded: 'Well, the donor's condition is really under control, the blood is smooth, the pulse is strong, and it seems that he is completely well. Miracle, really miracle. I was overjoyed in my heart, and bowed my hand and said, 'Thank you Master for saving your life, I will not be able to repay it, and when I return, I will give me two taels of silver。。。。。。 ’

"I was interrupted by him waving his hand: 'Master Mashi, I'm ashamed that you have read so many Buddhist scriptures, why haven't you comprehended them, and told me about these things again. I was immediately ashamed and quickly apologized. I heard him say again: 'No, although your condition is improving, you still need to be strengthened. I have read all the Buddhist scriptures here, and there is no other way, if you want to completely remove the lesions, I am afraid you will have to go to my junior brother. Not only is he proficient in Buddhist scriptures, but he is also highly skilled in martial arts, which may be helpful to you. ’

"I was grateful in my heart and said, 'I keep in mind the kindness of the master. I know that the master's realm is extraordinary, and he is no longer an ordinary person, and money is like dung in your eyes, but the master's life-saving grace cannot be ignored, and I ask the master to teach me the method. The master pondered for a moment and said, 'Well, if you really want to repay the favor, then help me spread the Dharma.' People in the world are ignorant, if they can get the guidance of my Dharma, they will definitely be able to live and work in peace and prosperity, which can be regarded as a merit. ’

I nodded in agreement, then said goodbye and left the temple. According to the master, his brother lived in seclusion in a remote mountain, a long and dangerous way. In addition to robbers, there were also man-eating beasts along the way, but this did not bother me, and after making all the preparations, I went out on my way. ”

Qiao Zhengyu shook his head and said, "Ma Daxia is sincere, but just by yourself, aren't you afraid of danger?"

Ma Guangyun said: "Of course, my father also has this concern, so he invited a few dart masters to quietly follow me and protect me in secret." I didn't know, I just wanted to go all the way. I don't know how far I walked, how many mountains I climbed and how many streams I crossed, but I just knew that along the way, there were fewer and fewer people in front of me, and the weather was getting colder and colder.

"Fortunately, I'm well prepared, and I have everything I need for dry food and quilts, but I can also cope with the past. When you are hungry during the day, you can find a random place to sit down, fill your stomach and go again. If it is night, find a flat grass, spread cotton wool and quilts, and make a big fire on the side, and sleep in the light of the fire until dawn. Although the conditions along the way are a little simple, they are also quite fun, so they should be out to play.

"It's all the usual little things, and it's hard, but it's not dangerous. But the road was not so peaceful, there were many beasts and poisonous snakes, and they appeared frequently, causing me to almost lose my life several times. I remember one time when I was fetching water from a stream when suddenly a black bear sprang out of the side and swaggered towards me.

"I was so frightened that I couldn't breathe, so I had to lie down quickly and pretend to be dead. Because I know from the book that black bears are not interested in dead food, and maybe they can get away with it. Sure enough, the black bear came up to me and sniffed at me with its nose, and after a long while, he shook his head and left.

"Another time, a poisonous snake suddenly burst out of the grass, raised a black head, and glared at me viciously. Not only that, but he also spit black letters in his mouth and made a 'squeak' sound, which was very terrifying. I was so startled that I didn't care much, so I ran away.

"But the snake was faster, and I had barely taken a few steps when it had already scurried up to me, and opened its jaw, and bit down so hard that it left three black spots on my calf. I screamed in pain, and then I felt a tightness in my chest and couldn't breathe. I didn't dare to be careless, so I hurriedly sat down, squeezed out the dirty blood, and found clean water to wash it.

"Despite all the self-help, the leg was still swollen, the wound was foul-smelling, and it began to rot, and it looked horrible. Then I started to feel my eyes foggy and my head was dizzy.
