An Shuopo's doctor's surname is Meng, he has just returned from the imperial capital, and he is fiddling with the prescription he just got in the house, when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, and simply replied, "Come in." His gaze remained on his prescription.

Shou Guanghou pushed the door in and said, "Doctor Meng, I'm afraid I'm infected with a bad disease, please take a look at my right leg." With that, he exposed the sores on his knees, and he entered the room from the outside, feeling that there was no sunlight, and that he was itching a little more.

Only then did Doctor Meng turn his gaze from the prescription to Shou Guanghou's leg, he stood up, came to Shou Guanghou's side, gently pressed Shou Guanghou's wound, and said, "Xiao Hou, how did you get it, does it hurt like this?"

"It doesn't hurt, but it's very itchy to the touch, and I made a small cut before, I didn't pay attention to it, maybe it's an infection." ”

Doctor Meng touched Shou Guanghou's pulse again, and said strangely: "Not only is there no problem with your pulse, but it is also healthier than ordinary people." ”

Doctor Meng turned around and grabbed a few herbs, wrapped them and handed them to Shou Guanghou, and said: "This is the medicine for the treatment of wound scabies, you go back and boil it and eat it, see if there is any effect, your wound, I have been practicing medicine for many years but I have never seen it, such a strange illness I forgive me for not being proficient in learning and art, if the medicine I give you has no effect, I heard that there are two masters of fortune tellers in the imperial capital, who may travel to our Anshuopo, these two people only account for three trigrams a day, you can ask them, maybe they will know." ”

Shou Guanghou nodded after hearing this, took the medicine, paid Dr. Meng for the medicine, turned around and limped away. Shou Guanghou returned home, decocted the medicine, and took it on time, but it had no effect, but he felt that his right leg was getting worse day by day. Sometimes when he was practicing, his right knee was extremely itchy, and in the past few days, his mental strength has not increased but decreased, and his body has gradually lost weight.

On this day, Shou Guanghou endured the itching of his right leg in the exercises, he heard the sound of people outside the door, I don't know what happened, I took the heart, got up and walked to the door, pushed open the door, he found that there were two old men standing outside the door of his house, followed by a few squires who could not be seen on weekdays, not far away many villagers were pointing at themselves, and muttering from time to time.

Shou Guanghou was very puzzled, he didn't know what was going on, and before he could ask, one of the old men said, "This is it." Shou Guanghou looked at a few squires, and then looked at the old man who spoke, Shou Guanghou only felt that this old man exuded an ethereal temperament, which made people dare not look directly.

These two old men are Duan Yuanzhang and Xuan Chengzi who "happened to pass by" here, because they were already famous in the imperial capital, and when they first came to Anshuopo, several squires came to find the two of them for divination.

The squires wanted nothing more than to ask about their future, the wealth of their families, or their offspring.

Duan Yuanzhang told them that the feng shui here was originally very good, there was a hillside on the left side of the whole township, there was a high hill, which was regarded as the trend of the green dragon, and there was a small river in front of it, which was regarded as the trend of the Vermilion Bird, although it was not the most noble, it was also a relatively good terrain.

However, although the place is good, it has a fatal shortcoming, that is, the terrain is low, and it cannot hide the earth's qi at all, and the breath leaks out, which is easy to attract all kinds of gods, demons and monsters.

When the squires heard this, they immediately became nervous, and asked in a loud voice, "Master, do we have any demons here, and how can we crack them?"

In fact, Duan Yuanzhang didn't lie to them, the terrain of Anshuopo really can't hide the earth's qi, and there are indeed some ghosts here who concentrate on cultivation, but if these mortals don't mess with them, these ghosts won't pay attention to them at all.

Duan Yuanzhang set up the compass, calculated it, and said, "I'm afraid that you already have some evil ways here. "Anyway, according to the results of the calculation, I found Shou Guanghou's home.

When Shou Guanghou looked at Duan Yuanzhang, Duan Yuanzhang was also looking at Shou Guanghou, Duan Yuanzhang saw the sore on his right knee, smiled, and said, "This young man, but Shou Guanghou?"

Shou Guanghou didn't know the purpose of their coming to his house, but the squire told the old man his name, and responded: "That's right, I am Shou Guanghou, I don't know what the old man is doing here?"

The squires were very surprised, and no one said anything when they met for the first time, so they knew each other's names, and the two elders really had some Taoism. Duan Yuanzhang said: "The two of us used to set up a small stall in the imperial capital to divinate good fortune and evil for others, so as to make a living. After traveling so far, I look at your right knee, it seems that it is not an ordinary sore. ”

Duan Yuanzhang's words went to Shou Guanghou's heart, and he was worried about his legs these days. After listening to Duan Yuanzhang's words, he remembered Dr. Meng's words, then remembered the identities of the two, knew that these two masters came to help him, and asked tentatively: "Can the master understand medical skills?"

Duan Yuanzhang smiled and said, "I know a little bit about it, but your sores can't be cured by ordinary medical skills, and what I happen to be good at is treating this disease." After that, Duan Yuanzhang pinched his fingers and calculated, and said, "Your sores are easy to treat." Go and prepare a yellow dog with rice bran and two good horses. ”

Fortunately, Shouguanghou still had some silver at home, so he went directly to someone else's house to buy a few kinds of livestock that Duan Yuanzhang said, and brought them to Duan Yuanzhang and handed them to Duan Yuanzhang. Duan Yuanzhang lassoed the dog's neck with a rope, let the horse run with the dog, the horse was tired and changed to another one, the horse ran for more than 30 miles, the dog couldn't run, and dragged the dog away, Duan Yuanzhang had sufficient internal strength, and he dragged the dog back and forth for more than 20 miles, and he didn't feel tired, he walked for more than 50 miles, Duan Yuanzhang came to Shou Guanghou's body, and used internal force to point his sleeping hole, Shou Guanghou only felt that his eyes were dark and unconscious.

Duan Yuanzhang then used a big knife to cut the front position of the dog's belly and back feet, and pointed the incision to the sore, so that it stopped two or three inches away from the sore.

After a while, something like a snake came out of the sore, and Duan Yuanzhang poured the internal force into his two fingers, directly across the snake's head. The snake swayed and struggled in Shou Guanghou's skin and flesh for a long time, and suddenly stopped moving, and Duan Yuanzhang pulled the snake out of the sore. It was more than three feet long, but it had only eye sockets but no eyeballs, and its scales were born upside down.

The squires who were watching around were shocked, and they saw with their own eyes that there was such a long snake coming out of Shou Guanghou's knees, and everyone began to endanger themselves.

Everyone asked, "Master, is this the evil ghost?" Duan Yuanzhang snorted, slapped it with his own internal force, and the snake corpse turned into a cloud of black smoke and drifted away with the wind.

A squire thought for a while, stepped forward and said: "Master, this kind of ghost is not something that ordinary people like us can stop at all, what kind of earth qi leakage you said, there is a way to rescue it, if there are some ghosts and evil insects after you leave, we can't cure it." It doesn't matter how much money you have, as long as you ask, we will all make it up for you. ”

Hearing this, the other squires also chimed in: "Yes, yes, master, you can save us." ”

At this moment, Shou Guanghou had slowly woken up, although he was ordered to sleep, but his second mind pulled him in his soul, and Shou Guanghou saw the whole process.

After waking up, he knelt directly on the ground and said, "Thank you, master, Shouguanghou is grateful." ”

Duan Yuanzhang flicked his hand, Shou Guanghou felt a gentle force drag him up, Duan Yuanzhang turned to those squires and said: "You plant five willow trees at the foot of the mountain, carve a stone tablet weighing 300 catties, and then paste this talisman on it and sink it into the river, so that the earth qi will be hidden, and there will be no evil spirits to attack." With that, he reached into his bosom, took out a yellow talisman, and handed it to one of the squires.

The squires hurriedly thanked him, and after a while, a few subordinates dragged a plate to the front, and the squire who took the talisman picked up the plate, walked to Duan Yuanzhang, and said: "On behalf of our fellow villagers in Anshuopo, I thank the master for saving his life. ”

Duan Yuanzhang took it, exchanged a few words with the squire, and everyone went back to find someone to carve the monument. Seeing that everyone was leaving, Duan Yuanzhang turned to Shou Guanghou and said, "I have something to discuss with you, let's take a step to talk." Shou Guanghou was flattered and said: "The master is serious, if there is anything to do, just open your mouth, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do my best to help the master." As he spoke, he led the two to his room, and Shou Guanghou asked, "What is the matter with the master, just say it." ”

Duan Yuanzhang sighed and said, "I'll tell you the truth, I want to accept you as a disciple, I don't know what you think?" Shou Guanghou was very surprised after hearing this, and said: "How can I be worthy of the master, I am afraid that I am stupid and not worthy of being your disciple." ”

"When I was treating your injuries, I felt that you were practicing a kind of exercise, this kind of exercise is very peculiar, I have been wandering the rivers and lakes for so many years, and I have never seen such a mental method, but this kind of mental method will attract many evil spirits when you are cultivating, and they will involuntarily come to absorb the fruits of your cultivation, and the spiritual power of people who practice this mental method is a great supplement for them. My true identity is the head of the Wudang faction, I hope you can return to Wudang with me, no evil spirit will dare to interfere with you in Wudang Mountain, and I will also give you a lot of help on the path of cultivation. ”

When Shou Guanghou heard this, he suddenly realized, and finally understood why his cultivation spiritual power did not increase but decreased, and he was unable to break through the first layer for a long time.

Immediately afterwards, Duan Yuanzhang said the results of his calculations very vaguely, hoping that Shou Guanghou could join Wudang and find a way out for Wudang in the future catastrophe.

The three of them talked in the house for an afternoon, and Shou Guanghou finally decided to worship Duan Yuanzhang as a teacher and join the Wudang sect. Xuan Chengzi next to him pursed his lips, such a young man, his generation was the same as his own generation all of a sudden. The three of them stayed at Shou Guanghou's house for one night, and the next day Shou Guanghou simply packed his luggage, and then followed the two to Wudang Mountain to meditate and cultivate.
