1. Save the suffering and save the world

Doctor Mu and Ximen Luoyan passed through a small town that day, and watched a group of people, each two carrying a person wrapped in a white cloth, hurrying into the field.

I saw that the group turned the stretcher over and poured them into a large pit sprinkled with white ash.

Immediately afterwards, several groups of people came to carry the people, and instead of pouring them into the pit, they carried them to an abandoned hut not far from the pit.

The hut was shabby, with only a broken straw mat on the floor, and it was crowded with many sick and dead people.

Doctor Mu hurriedly stopped and asked a few villagers who buried the corpses.

It turned out that many people in the town had a strange disease, and the patients were covered with blisters, which were small red spots at first, and soon turned into white pustules, which were easy to break.

In just a few days, the blisters will grow and fester, and the person will have a high fever, and nine out of ten will not be cured, and even if they are cured, there will be a red and black scar on the skin.

The doctors in the town and county were helpless, and most of them died in 10 days, and as few as 5 days.

Li Zheng ordered people to dig a big pit on the outskirts of the town, and when he saw that there were no helpless patients, he directly wrapped them up and carried them away to bury them in the fire, and some of them had not even died yet.

When I went to the town, I saw that almost every family was sick.

The patient was bedridden, weak, and had a high fever.

Doctor Mu visited several families in a row.

Nine out of ten people in the town are sick.

Ximen Luoyan frowned, extremely anxious, she was worried that her brother's illness could not be delayed, but she didn't dare to urge, so she could only reluctantly follow Doctor Mu, she brought a veil and covered her nose and mouth with a handkerchief.

At this time, Li Zheng ran over with a few people out of breath: "I heard that the immortal doctor is here, save us." There are only 1,000 households in the town, and more than 200 households are already extinct. ”

"The plague is pox, smallpox. The cause is contaminated drinking water and rat infection. Inform Lizheng, clean up the river waterscape, and the whole town mobilized to exterminate rats and clean up the water source. ”

Doctor Mu Shen was also competent at first glance, and the epidemic was urgent, so he hurriedly arranged a rescue plan.

"Door-to-door, all infected people must be isolated, and healthy people must be isolated and live immediately if they feel unwell, even if they are married and their children and family members must not live together. ”

The people who were leading there all nodded their heads one after another.

"The major pharmacies in the county have grabbed a large number of medicines, honeysuckle, coptis, wormwood, and cork dozens of catties each, and the big pot decoction medicine, and the sick people in the town take it every morning and evening for seven consecutive days. In addition, you can catch white cow lice and take it with boiling water. ”

"What? white gadlice......? Does this work?"

"White cow lice to treat smallpox, is the "Materia Medica" record, the previous dynasty Longqing years have records, and the patient's clothes are taken off, let the healthy put on, so that it is infected. It is known as the method of acne inoculation, and the infected patient can develop resistance in the body. ”

"Ahh

Sure enough, within three days, the epidemic was basically under control, and the patients after the "vaccination method" only had mild symptoms, which basically did not affect labor.

After another month and a half, almost the entire town recovered, and only a few cases lost their lives.

The people in the town are grateful to the name of the divine doctor who did not have time to ask, and built a Taoist temple in the town, according to the memory of the witch statue of the divine doctor, please ask the painter to draw the witch statue, depict the golden body, and name it: Guisheng Temple.

This view has lasted for hundreds of years, and the incense is vigorous. The medical ethics of the god are widely spread, which can be said: the life and death of patients who are profitable are not avoided because of misfortune and fortune.

2. Secret recipe for poisoning

Doctor Mu stopped walking, and the prancing horse galloped until the eighth day before reaching the Ximen Dart Bureau.

Simon's family was overjoyed, and hurriedly welcomed him, but he didn't have time to rest and drink water, so he followed Simon straight to Ximen Yi's bedroom.

Ximen Yi's face was blue, his eyes were misty, his lips were purple and black, and his body was ulcerated, pustules, and pus, accompanied by convulsions and spasms all over his body.

Doctor Mu Shen ordered someone to pour a glass of water, took out a set of acupuncture from his red sour branch wood portable medicine box, and pricked it lightly with the middle finger of Ximen Yi's left hand, and the blood immediately splashed into the bowl, and the blood in the water was all purple and black.

He picked up his reservoir again, pressed it above the acupoint directly behind his calf, and patted it with four fingers in the middle, and the calf was immediately red and swollen.

He quickly pricked the needle in his hand, and Ximen Yi's entire leg pulled his upper body and jerked violently, and he also shed a large pool of purple and black blood.

The whole family looked around and held their breath. The old shopkeeper Simon Chengfeng was fascinated by the wind and couldn't help asking: "Immortal doctor, what kind of poison has the dog been hit? Is there a way to save it?"

The old shopkeeper Ximen Chengfeng's face was pale, his body was weak, and he was apprehensive, but when he saw Dr. Mu's unique and skillful treatment techniques, most of his worries were immediately eliminated.

Doctor Mu immersed himself in curing the disease, and it took him a long time before he replied: "If it is half a day late, don't say that Bian Que Hua Tuo, even if he goes to the west to invite the great doctor Wang Buddha, he will not be able to return to the sky." ”

As soon as he said this, the whole family gasped.

Although the eight days of waiting for Dr. Mu were tormented and spent like a year, the anxiety and suffering of the whole family were relieved because of this sentence.

Ximen Chengfeng suddenly felt that Doctor Mu was very familiar, but he couldn't confirm it.

After the diagnosis and treatment, the divine doctor looked up and saw Ximen Chengfeng's face clearly, and his eyes stayed on Ximen Chengfeng's face for a long, long time.

Ximen was stunned for a moment, and still politely asked about his son's condition: "Immortal doctor, what kind of poison did the dog have?"

Doctor Mu clearly told them: "Ling Lang is surrounded by zombies and ghosts. This poison is also called "the heart of the palace woman", which is a top-secret poison that has been lost for more than 100 years in the Tang Gate of Xishu. ”

"There is a way that poisons the heart of the most poisonous woman. Legend has it that the Western Han Dynasty was too thick and the pheasant was poisonous, and after his death, the mausoleum was patronized by the captain of the touching gold, and took its thousand-year-old zombie fragments, supplemented by a small amount of Xishu broken intestine grass, the Western Regions Heding Red, and Yunnan poisonous arrow wood boiled for 7749 days, and implanted in the opponent's body with a unique internal force method. The multi-flavored poison itself restrains itself, and the medicinal properties are not impatient or impatient, and the degree of sexual intensity depends on the release of the practitioner's power at that time. ”

Doctor Mu Shen told me that he had seen almost all the poisons in the world, and it was the first time he had seen one so strong and stubborn alone.

Fu Qinglong, who was standing on the side, had been walking darts for many years, and it was the first time he had heard of such a poison. "Zombie ghosts scattered, I heard that glutinous rice can be saved?"

Doctor Mu immediately refuted the erroneous view: "The folk and Maoshan Taoist priests are purely contrary to medical theory, and what glutinous rice detoxifies the corpse is really a lot of harm to people with false rumors." Ling Lang has a strong physique, the poisoning is still shallow, and the old dart head has a deep internal force to transport true qi to force out the toxin, and others have already died in Huangquan. ”

"This poison is not only the most toxic, but also the most difficult to eradicate. Even if the life can be saved, the corpse poison is stubborn, like a ghost, remaining in the body, with a lifetime, life is better than death, and the sequelae will accompany you for a lifetime. ”

Simon was frightened by the wind, felt a wave of dizziness, and almost fell to the ground, he reflexively grabbed the edge of the table with one hand, and begged the divine doctor with great effort: "Ah! Immortal doctor help! Thank you for the dog!"

"The method of salvation is to fight poison with poison, which needs to poison the flesh and bones of the corpse, mixed with the five poisons of the live, that is, scorpions, snakes, centipedes, geckos, and toads to make 49 pills of "Six Flavors Rejuvenation Pill", seven in a row at noon every day, and take it for seven days in a row, which can detoxify most of the half. ”

The Simon family he said was stunned, as if listening to a book from heaven.

"This kind of medicinal materials are currently not available on the market, the sky-high price is hard to find, and the poor road will not carry it with you, so you can only use the hundred-year-old bezoar pill, seven leaves and one branch flower, half a lotus, nightshade, indigo, sophora, verbena to control the medicinal properties, and continuously deliver true qi to protect the heart. If I personally configure the Six Flavors Soul Rejuvenation Pill within seven days, I can ensure that Ling Lang's life is safe. For the rest of his life, his vitality will decline, his martial arts will be lost, and he will be afraid of cold and timidity. ”

As soon as she heard that Ximen Yi's martial arts were exhausted, Ou Jingyu, the old lady of Ximen on the side, couldn't help but burst into tears, holding a handkerchief in her hand and covering her nose and sobbing.

Ximen Luoyan suddenly opened his apricot eyes: "What is needed at this time is for the whole family to work together to get through difficult times, don't be so pretentious." ”

Simon Chengfeng on the side scolded his daughter: "Yan'er, don't talk to Erniang like this!"

Her father's reprimand, but she didn't think so, turned around and left.

said that she was an old lady, but in fact, Ou Jingyu was only in her thirties, her charm still existed, her clothes were fragrant and her temples were shadowy, and she had a graceful and luxurious temperament.

She was not annoyed or angry, she was still calm.

After Dr. Mu's diagnosis was over, she arranged for a servant to take care of Ximen Yi, who was not yet fully conscious, and asked Dr. Mu to rest in the room.

The old lady of Simon commanded Ruoding, and the arrangement was well organized, like the mistress of the house.

The hall is decorated with great elegance, and the west gate sits in the wind.

The medical problems that had plagued him for half a month were finally alleviated, and he was relieved and praised Dr. Mu's medical skills.

Mu Hong suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to the west gate, and shouted: "Second senior brother, I am Tianmiao, can you remember the younger brother?"

Ximen Chengfeng looked stunned, and he looked at Mu Hong carefully: "Tianmiao? is it really you?

Simon Chengfeng's excited eyes were full of tears, and he never dreamed that the miracle doctor he had hired with all his strength turned out to be an old man who had been separated for more than 30 years.

"Second senior brother, don't come unharmed! I haven't seen you for thirty years, I didn't expect to meet again today, I recognized you as soon as I entered the door just now, one came to be anxious to see the illness for the virtuous nephew, and the other was because the time was too long to be sure, so it was inconvenient to recognize each other!"

"Little man, you're still alive, it's good to be alive if you're alive! I thought I'd never see you again. ”

Ximen Chengfeng suddenly hugged Mu Hong, and the two hugged their heads and cried. Everyone was puzzled why the two men behaved like this.

"Dad, so you know each other?" Simon slipped in at some point, just in time to see the scene of them recognizing each other.

"This kid looks at what you say, and he doesn't know it. Hurry up and call Uncle Mu, this is your Uncle Mu!" Ximen Chengfeng let go of Mu Hong, and said excitedly while wiping his tears.

"Uncle Shi is on top, take a bow to Yan'er!" Simon Luoyan quickly knelt down and bowed to the uncle he had met. Mu Hong hurriedly helped Ximen Luoyan up, and sighed: No wonder you are so in love, it turned out to be the daughter of the second senior brother's family.

It turned out that thirty years ago, Ximen Chengfeng and Mu Hong were in Jiuhua Mountain, Yunpan Peak, Fuximen to learn the Tao.

It's just that Ximen rode the wind under the door of the Yunpan Sect Master, and Mu Hong was later more interested in alchemy and the art of Qihuang, so he joined the Yunpan Sect Master's junior disciple Yunpan Elder to study medicine.

Unexpectedly, the Fuxi faction suffered a catastrophe of annihilation, digging its own grave and humiliation, the rivers and lakes became extinct, and the disciples fell and scattered, scattered in the rivers and lakes. It is not difficult to understand that Simon Chengfeng was excited and painful when he saw his little junior brother.

"You were only fourteen or fifteen years old at the time, thirty-five years old, and now you are almost fifty years old. Where do I recognize. Moreover, you were too thin and skinny at the time, so everyone called you a thin man. ”

Simon rode the wind and burst into tears and laughed, talking about the past.

"Yes, that's why Master asked me to learn alchemy and the art of Qihuang from him. At that time, only you and Senior Sister Siniang loved me the most. Whatever is delicious, keep it for me. When Mu Hong said this, his tone was immediately full of warmth and gratitude.

"Alas, at that time, on the mountain, you were the youngest, and I didn't take enough care of you. You sister Siniang, alas, poor girl!" When they talked about Siniang, they were extremely sad and sad.

"Master, I patronized the old and recognized my brother, and I traveled for more than ten days, and I saw the disease as soon as I entered the door. I didn't even drink saliva, but the kitchen prepared a meal, so I think it's better to talk while eating. ”

In terms of seniority, Mrs. Simon has to be called a junior brother, which is not commensurate with her age, and the smart old lady Simon chose to call him a doctor who is more appropriate.

3. Antecedents and consequences

Simon's family prepared a banquet, and Simon changed his sad face from the past, and he was extremely excited.

I was delighted and excited to reunite with my little brother 35 years ago.

He drank happily and frequently toasted with Doctor Mu. Simon was a little out of shape when he drank in the wind, but the old lady of Simon did not stop him, and kept pouring wine and vegetables, only Simon kept blocking the wine for his father, reminding his father that he was old and must stop in moderation.

During the banquet, the half-drunk and half-awake Simon Chengfeng talked about a past incident that happened in the Ximen Dart Bureau.

Two years ago, Ximen Yi was already the actual head of the dart game. Simon Lao Dart is old and in poor health, so he basically doesn't go out to dart.

In addition to receiving the owner, looking at the goods, calculating the dart profits, and teaching the dart master martial arts, he spends most of his time in retreat and practice, and occasionally listens to plays.

Ximen Yi relied on the reputation and resources accumulated by the family for generations, plus the assistance of his four major dart masters, Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu and his sister Ximen Luoyan. The dart business is booming.

In the autumn of that year, I received a once-in-a-lifetime dart sale. It was a "big run" long-distance journey, going to Kulun (Ulaanbaatar), naturalization (Hohehot), and Shuozhou back to Taiyuan.

It took at least four months to go back and forth for more than 1,500 miles.

It turned out that it was to catch up with the four-year dividend account period of Cao Dongjiakou, one of the four major business gangs in Jinzhong, in addition to the dividends of many wealthy owners in the family, there were also dividends from the big shopkeeper and the semicolon shopkeeper, and they also entrusted the dart bureau to escort the silver back to their hometown.

More than 200,000 taels of silver, according to the rules of the dart industry, you can get a gross profit of 10,000 taels of silver.

It was a great deal, and at least two hundred camels and mules were required to form a huge caravan at a load of three thousand taels of silver per camel, plus food, water, and daily necessities.

It was difficult for one dart bureau to carry and protect the capacity, so Ximen Yi teamed up with several other dart bureaus in Taigu to subcontract 30% of the escort tasks to the other three dart bureaus to complete the dart task together.

Because it is a return shipment, the empty pack team goes to the destination, but the dart board generally does not set off empty to pick up the dart, and the New Year is approaching.

In order to earn more dividends, each dart bureau pulled a camel, carrying mainland pots and pans, silk tea and other hot supplies, trafficked to the mouth to earn some money, back to the city to pull the east dart silver, starting from September, the dart team and the silver together to the home for the New Year.

The Great Western Line and the North Third Line are familiar with the Ximen Family Dart Bureau, and killing the tiger's mouth is the most difficult obstacle to cross this dart road.

Kill the tiger's mouth is located at the junction of Shanxi and Inner Mongolia provinces and three counties, and it is a place where soldiers of all dynasties must fight.

The terrain of Kill Tiger Pass is dangerous, and it is the main pass to Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia in the Central Plains. In addition to rampant banditry, the local garrison and the regional government set up private tax cards.

Generally, the weak dart bureau does not dare to venture into the dangerous place, and the business owner does not dare to hand over the real money involved in the life of the family to them, but the Ximen dart board is one of the few dart giants, even if the big deal is dangerous The escort task can always be achieved.

The tree is a big wind, this big deal leaked the wind, and when the exit was out, it was a smooth journey, which can be described as "walking quickly and stepping on the autumn".

When he returned, he was killing the tiger's mouth and encountered a strong bandit - Liu Si'er, a goshawk in the green field.

He is one of the four famous thieves in the rivers and lakes, with a fast horse scimitar, coming and going like the wind, killing people and goods, and sweeping the clouds.

Liu Si'er's ancestor was a Houjin man, who was originally a golden gourd warrior under the king of Ihoqidoro County, and was once appreciated by Zeng Lingqin and served as his guard.

He was arrested and imprisoned for drunkenness and molesting the county lord, and a few years later escaped from prison and hid in the prairie and was never heard from. After a few years, he reappeared in the rivers and lakes and became a grassland bandit, and the legend of the rivers and lakes was that he actually fled to the Central Plains to learn a hard kung fu in those years.

Liu Si'er is nine feet long, infinitely powerful, good at riding and shooting, and a pair of golden gourd thunderbolt hammers in his hands are extremely powerful.

The double hammer is made of King Kong, the double hammer weighs sixty-eight pounds, and the exterior is painted with gold water. I don't know how many heroes of the dart line died under the hammer.

He rode a horse at the age of four, archery at the age of six, ate half a roasted whole sheep at the age of twelve, and drank five catties of liquor at a time.

Wrestling wins all over the prairie, pushing the eight-skinned horse horizontally with both hands.

In addition to his own hard work, he also has two protectors, a man and a woman, under his hands. The man's name is Mo Rigen, he is strong and strong but light as a swallow, he is called "Tengger Flying Camel", he has a miraculous archery technique, and he bends his bow and pierces Yang in a hundred steps; the woman's name is Qi Muge, and the people in the rivers and lakes call him "Sai Guiying", and he has a Mongolian scimitar in his hand, which can break gold.

At dusk that day, at the border of the desert, the sun was setting over the long river, and the dart team was mighty. Although the dart game is well planned, what is afraid of what will come, and the dart team will inevitably encounter Liu Si'er when they kill the tiger.

When we meet on a narrow road, a big war is inevitable.
