Chapter 15: Breaking Through the Mystery
Pang Xie left the lottery station and went to Xinglin Pharmacy again, went directly to the second floor, and came to the counter selling traditional medicinal herbs.
There was no one in front of the counter, and a thick medicinal fragrance came from the glass door behind the counter.
Pang Xie took a few steps around the counter and went straight behind the glass door, wanting to see the art of decocting medicine in this pharmacy.
"Huh?"
The scene inside the glass door startled Pang Xie.
In his mind, the decoction is nothing more than a casserole, and what needs to be mastered is nothing more than the heat, and the glass door should be full of casseroles and stoves, but he didn't expect that in the glass door, there is neither a casserole nor a stove, only two rows of silver shining machines.
This kind of machine is divided into two parts, the upper part is a transparent fully enclosed glass barrel, about 30 centimeters high, the barrel is a thick medicinal soup, the lower part is a rectangular metal operating table, there are several buttons, a few handles, and a phosphor screen to display the temperature.
There are almost 20 such machines, which are placed in a circle around the room, and the thunderstorm is in the middle of the hand, and from time to time to look around, although there are many equipment, they are not busy at all.
"What is this?" Ponsie was a little curious.
"Decoction machine. Thunderstorm replied casually, and then found that something was wrong, and said, "When did you come in, why didn't I pay attention?"
"I just came in. Pang Xie said that he was already a monk in the realm of "Transforming Mortals", if he was interested in avoiding people's eyes and ears, he would not say that the thunderstorm was on the medicine, even if it was all on him, he might not be able to pay attention to it.
Pang Xie came to a decoction machine, looked at it carefully, and said, "How does this machine work?"
"It's much stronger than decocting medicine in a casserole, which is mainly heated, and the temperature of a traditional casserole can not be controlled well even if you are careful, and the temperature of this machine can be accurate to 0.1 degrees Celsius. β
"How much does a decoction machine cost?"
"Like the one we use in our store, there are about 50,000 or 60,000 units, and there are also 10,000 or 20,000 units, but the temperature control is almost usable. β
"Oh," Pang Xie looked away, "By the way, I'm going to buy a pair of medicines I just said." β
This kind of machine is good, if you can buy one, you can save a lot of effort, but the price is too expensive, not that he can afford it now, and he doesn't even have the money to buy medicine now, and he can't use it if he buys a decoction machine.
The medicinal materials were stored behind the glass door, and the thunderstorm was quick at hand, and he helped him wrap the medicinal materials in three or two.
The two walked out of the glass door, and there were already other guests waiting outside the door, it was the young man who had followed Pang Xie all the way from the lottery station.
Pang Xie was a little surprised, he had noticed this young man just now, but he didn't know this person, so he didn't say hello, turned around and went downstairs with the medicine bag to pay the bill.
"Tianhua, why are you here today?" Lei Yusheng knew this person and stepped forward to say hello.
This young man is an old customer of the pharmacy, surnamed Li, named Tianhua, an engineer at an aviation research institute in Chang'an City, because of his chronic illness, he often buys medicine here, and he has become an acquaintance after coming and going.
"It's okay to turn around, Xiao Lei, what did that little brother do when he went down just now?" Li Tianhua's voice was a little haggard, but it was calm.
"Come with me, I came to the store in the morning and asked the price of a lot of medicinal materials, but I didn't buy it, it seems that the money is not enough, I just went out for a turn, and came back to buy a pair of medicines, but it was still a lot worse than what he wanted to buy at the beginning. β
"Not enough money... I know. Li Tianhua raised his eyebrows, turned around and walked downstairs.
"Tianhua, how are you feeling lately?" shouted Thunderstorm behind him.
"Let's talk about it later, there is something going on today...."Li Tianhua had already gone downstairs, and his voice came intermittently from downstairs.
......
The sun is shining brightly.
Pang Xie carried a bag of medicinal herbs and walked down the long street, intending to buy another mobile phone.
He is new to Hongchen, and he has few friends, only a few acquaintances, and he doesn't buy a mobile phone to contact people, but a few days ago, he casually took Cui Jinhu's mobile phone and played for a while, and became interested in the Internet, and found that he could learn everything that happened in this world anytime and anywhere through the Internet, much faster than his own slow exploration.
"Little brother, please stay!"
Suddenly there was a shout behind him, and Pang Xie followed the sound, and a young man hurried over.
"What are you doing?" said Ponsei paused.
"Do you have time for a cup of tea?" asked the young man.
Pang Xie was stunned, stared at him for a moment, nodded and said, "As long as you have time, I won't be in a hurry." β
The young man's face changed slightly, and he said with a wry smile: "Don't worry, don't worry!"
Not far from the south of Yaowangdong Street, there is a Lotus Lake Park, there is half an acre of lotus pond in the park, which is just an ordinary scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is rare in the northwest, and it is barely a scene in Chang'an City.
There is a tea room at the main entrance of Lianhu Park, called "Lianzhou Tea Room", the tea room has two floors, the first floor is the hall, the second floor is the semi-enclosed rooftop, the open side just faces the quiet lake in the park, quite a few scenes.
It was morning, and there were few customers in the store.
The two came to the second floor of the Qingquan Tea Room, found a secluded seat, and sat down on the left and right.
After taking his seat, the young man ordered a pot of Biluochun and a few dried fruits, and Pang Xie didn't say a word, looking at the scenery in the park.
"Little brother, let me introduce myself first, my name is Li Tianhua, from Chang'an, what do you call my brother?" asked Li Tianhua while making tea.
"My name is Ponche. β
"Brother isn't a local, right?
Pang Xie shook his head and said, "Just say anything directly, you don't have much to do, so don't go around in circles." β
Li Tianhua's face turned pale, his hand that was pouring tea couldn't help shaking, the hot tea splashed out, and the back of his hand was red, but he didn't seem to notice it, and asked with a wry smile: "Do you see it?"
Pang Xie nodded and said, "There is a tumor in the lungs, and the poisonous roots are deep in the bones, almost deep into the bone marrow. β
The "tumor" in Pang Xie's mouth is the term of traditional Chinese medicine, and the term of modern medicine is "cancer", but the word "tumor" in traditional Chinese medicine refers to both "benign" and "malignant" tumors.
Although the word "cancer" appeared very late, this disease has always existed, and traditional Chinese medicine has also put a lot of effort into it, looking for many treatment methods, some of which are quite effective, but for hundreds of years, the aura of heaven and earth has gradually weakened, and the supernatural powers have gradually disappeared, and many doctors have not been able to use them, and have gradually given up the treatment of this disease.
When Li Tianhua found Pang Xie just now, Pang Xie saw at a glance that he was suffering from a chronic illness, so he secretly used his "medicine" magic power to scan his whole body up and down, only to find that he was terminally ill and not far from death.
The dying person knows that life is precious, and he will never spend his limited life on boring things, Pang Xie also saw this, so he agreed to drink tea with Li Tianhua, otherwise when Pingshui met, how could he drink tea with others casually?
......
"The little brother is really a master, and he can see it at a glance. Li Tianhua let out a long sigh and asked directly, "Can I still be saved from this disease?"
Pang Xie frowned slightly, knocked lightly on the table, did not answer Li Tianhua's question, and asked: "There is a hospital for medical treatment, and there is a pharmacy for buying medicine, why are you looking for me for treatment?"
Li Tianhua sighed lightly and said: "Don't tell lies in front of real people, my disease has already been sentenced to death by the hospital, and the doctor told me that if it is properly conditioned, there will be at most half a year of life, and if it is not properly conditioned, I am afraid that I will not be able to live for three months." β
"Whether it is traditional medicine or modern medicine, I have tried it, I have already visited all the large and small hospitals in Chang'an City, and I have also searched for famous doctors. β
"I was going to wait for death at home,I didn't expect the road to the sky,This morning I went out,I met my brother you at Fucai Station,That's the presumptuous talk,Want to ask for a way to live. β
"Fucai Station...?"
Pang Xie keenly noticed these three words,I didn't expect the problem to be in Fucai Station,It's just that there is no vision of "shooting" supernatural powers,What can Li Tianhua see?
Li Tianhua seemed to see his question, and said with a smile: "I don't have any other strengths, just these eyes are okay." You were meditating cross-legged in front of Fucai Station, and it has already attracted my attention, as the saying goes, eccentric people must have eccentricity, right?"
"This doesn't mean anything, it's much better than meditating on my knees, and the monks and Taoists in the temple are much better than me. Pang Xie said lightly.
"Of course, there are everyone in modern society, and it is not surprising that strange people and strange deeds are not surprising. What is really surprising is that when you scratch the lottery ticket, there is neither expectation nor surprise in your eyes, and it is as calm as autumn water. β
"I thought at the time, could it be that you already knew the result before scratching the lottery ticket, so you would have such calm eyes? So I followed you, all the way to the pharmacy, Dr. Lei's words verified my idea from the side, you are because you don't have enough money to buy a lottery ticket, and only buy it once, the money is enough. This is full of certainty,Can fucai station as an ATM rhythm ah,I decided at this time,You are not an ordinary personγ β
"I can't be saved by normal means, unless it's some surreal means, there is a glimmer of life, so I take the liberty of talking, hoping that you can save my life. β
After listening to this, Pang Xie was speechless, this time he went deep into the red dust, he really saw a lot, until today, he still felt that the dazzling technology products were the biggest harvest of this birth, and at this moment he understood that the most wonderful in the red dust is always the sentient beings.
is obviously an ordinary person who has no cultivation, but he can see through the appearance at a glance and guess the fact that he has supernatural powers.
If it was 800 years ago, it would not be surprising that some people saw that he had supernatural powers, at that time, there was enough vitality in heaven and earth, and there were very many people with cultivation, and it was easy to think that he had supernatural powers. But in today's world, the vitality is extremely weak, the cultivators are almost extinct, and the practice has become a legend.
Pang Xie had heard cultivators say in the past, there are often demons with advanced cultivation, planted in the hands of mortals who are mediocre in cultivation, or even have no cultivation at all, at that time I didn't think so, thinking it was just folklore, and today I met Li Tianhua to know that mortals should not be insulted, and wisdom can also reach the sky.
