Chapter 4: Descending the Mountain
"Now that we have the power to protect ourselves, it's time to go down the mountain and take a walk. He smiled slightly, although the life on the mountain was very peaceful, but he was not a master of the world who saw through the red dust and was ready to return to the mountains and forests.
After choosing a good day, I packed my bags and carried the medicine box, left a letter, and looked at the small temple where I had lived for two years again with some reluctance, and then picked up some incense and candles and went to the peach blossom forest behind.
The peach blossoms have not yet bloomed, they look bare, there is a small earthen bag in an inconspicuous clearing, the simple tomb does not even have an inscription, and it has long been accustomed to being silent, lighting incense and candles, and then sitting down cross-legged.
The heart of the predecessor is buried here, even if the emptiness is no longer the emptiness of the past, but with respect for this pure love, he still maintains the habit of the predecessor, and will come here every day to recite the mantra of the past.
After reciting the mantra again, he stood up, was silent for a moment, and then left silently, and I don't know when I will come back next time.
From the second year onwards, he often went down the mountain to the villages and towns at the foot of the mountain to practice medicine for free, otherwise he could not accumulate such great merit by reciting the scriptures alone, so the mountain road was very familiar, and it did not take long to come to the bottom of the mountain.
Because this year, the empty will go down the mountain for a few days every month to practice medicine in the town, so the residents of the town are very respectful to the empty sky, and when they see him go down the mountain, they will salute from afar, and the empty will also return the salute one by one.
Came to the blacksmith shop in the town, before entering the door, the old blacksmith was busy putting down the hammer and welcoming him in, because half a year ago, the old blacksmith's son accidentally broke his arm, if he didn't have a free hand, he would have to fall disabled, and then there would be no blacksmith this craft, I am afraid that there is only one way to starve to death, so both the old blacksmith and the little blacksmith are very grateful to the empty space.
"Master, the shovel you want has been laid, so I'll bring it to you. The old blacksmith hurriedly called out his son, who was busy in the back.
The little blacksmith is actually not small, in his twenties, he even children can play soy sauce, and gradually become the pillar of the blacksmith shop, after all, ironwork is a hard work, the old blacksmith has gradually retired, only a larger kitchen knife hoe and the like on weekdays, the more laborious large items are now in charge of the small blacksmith, and the same is true for the empty convenient shovel.
The small blacksmith took out the convenient shovel six feet long, the whole body is made of fine iron, weighs forty-eight pounds, not sharp, but very strong, and does not need it to be sharp, compared to shoveling people to death with a shovel, the empty prefers to shoot people flat, so this weapon was created for road defense.
Most of the Taoist monks on the traveling side like to bring a convenient shovel, first, to defend themselves, and secondly, to have a place to bury the bones of the dead in the wilderness.
Of course, their convenient shovels are all iron-headed wooden poles, and most of them are made of fine iron.
I took the convenience shovel, didn't stay long, carried the medicine box package, and went on the road with the convenience shovel.
Along the way, I was not in a hurry to travel, but everywhere I went, I gave medicine to the local poor people who could not afford to see a doctor, so as to increase experience and gain some merit.
When the medicinal materials in the medicine box were almost consumed, he began to collect local herbs to try to make medicines, after all, let alone two worlds, even if the effects of herbs grown in different places in the same world are different, in order to ensure the effect, the proportion needs to be changed, these must rely on experience to make up, and it is also a lack of space.
When the new medicinal materials are ready, he will go on the road again, and sometimes he will take a few over-the-top jobs, so although he has been down the mountain for three or five months, he is not far from the mountain where he is, only two or three hundred miles away, but it is enough for him to understand the world.
In the emptiness of the world is very interesting, some like the ancient times of China, there are also Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, the culture is not much different, the text is the same, but the history is completely different, the only thing that is the same is that the world is also divided and combined.
Now is the Great Wilderness Dynasty to get the world for a hundred years, it is the heyday, so the world is peaceful, only some waves in the martial arts, but it can not affect the people, it can be called the country and the people, so the Buddha is prosperous, and the monk who practiced medicine all the way is also deeply respected, and there is a lot of trouble.
As for the people in the rivers and lakes, because they didn't show any martial arts, and they didn't meddle in their affairs, even if they encountered the rivers and lakes, they watched silently, the injured sought medical treatment, and the dead were buried with a convenient shovel in their hands, and then recited the mantra of death, so no people in the rivers and lakes were willing to offend him, after all, how could there be people who were not stabbed in the rivers and lakes, who knew when the monk was needed to save his life, not to mention that even if he died, someone buried him, and he had a super degree in vain, so even if he had not yet entered the rivers and lakes, he was also well-known in the local Jianghu circle, and the people of the rivers and lakes gave him the nickname of the medical monk, so that he couldn't cry or laugh。
Because he has some fame in the rivers and lakes, coupled with good medical skills, many green forest heroes are famous, and he does not refuse, after all, most of the injuries in the rivers and lakes are swords and other external injuries, which is not much trouble for him who has studied Western medicine in this system, just some sewing and mending work, and internal injuries are troublesome, and he can also prescribe some prescriptions, so as not to let people run in vain.
If you want to say that the trouble is poison, this thing is not something that ordinary people can play, but once you can make a name for yourself, it is definitely not easy to mess with.
The poison is fast and deadly, and there is simply not so much time for you to try, so experience is the most important, and you must always have a good antidote pill, which is lacking.
It is not unfamiliar to poison emptiness, because poison is very interesting, and sometimes they can be used as medicinal materials, for example, many medicinal materials are actually slightly toxic, so there is a saying that the medicine is poisonous, but through the clever combination of traditional Chinese medicine, the deadly toxicity is transformed into a good medicine for curing diseases.
But in his previous life, although he was born in a family of traditional Chinese medicine, because his talent was not high, he was a little reluctant to learn even ordinary medical skills, not to mention that he was prone to fight poison with poison, so he only understood something, but in fact, he didn't really do it.
But in his empty memory, there is a Five Poisons True Scripture, this holy scripture in the minds of poison masters.
This is an unprecedented grandfather when he went to Miao Village to buy medicinal materials when he was young, and happened to save the local owner of the village, so that he could pick up a gift when he took it, and he didn't know what it meant.
Because the Five Poisons Sutra is not a simple Poison Sutra, it not only integrates the martial arts of the Central Plains, but also mixes the cup art and witchcraft of Miao Jiang, which ordinary people can't understand at all, and many old things were broken in that special period, resulting in few local Miao people who can understand what their ancestors have handed down, which was brought back by the grandfather of the unprecedented life as an ancient book.
Later, as the medical skills became more and more sophisticated, my grandfather gradually discovered that this was not a simple ancient book, so he spent some time translating and sorting it out, of course, in the end, he only borrowed some of them, and did not learn the above poison techniques.
After all, the Five Poisons True Scripture is unique to Miao Jiang, and it is fused with too many messy things in it, not to mention that the process of cultivation is very dangerous, and he will be poisoned to death if he is not careful, plus cultivation requires many plants and poisonous insects unique to Miao Jiang, and it is not realistic to practice poison skills at all, unless grandpa abandoned everything at that time and ran to the deep mountains and old forests of Miao Jiang to live in seclusion and cultivate, it is really sick to do this.
