Chapter 1: The Little Taoist Priest Who Sells Medicine
Qingcheng Mountain is located in the southwest of Sichuan and Shu Province, the whole mountain is verdant with forests, evergreen in all seasons, the peaks are ringed, the shape is like a city outline, it has the reputation of "Qingcheng is secluded in the world" since ancient times.
With the development of the economy now, many Chinese people have money in their pockets, they are keen on tourism, on the ancient Qingcheng Mountain, many of the original beasts infested, inaccessible places, now gradually developed into tourist attractions, let the city people come to explore and seek seclusion.
It coincides with the May Day holiday, on the Qingcheng Mountain, the tourists are weaving, endlessly, and the local villagers also take the opportunity to sell some local products, handmade products, etc., so it is not lively.
Qingcheng Mountain, in the corner not far from the Shangqing Palace, there is a small stall, put a few small gourds, spread on the cloth on the ground, and write a line of big characters on the dragon's flying phoenix: "Nine turns of health pills, men use aphrodisiac, women use beauty, 1,000 yuan a piece, refuse to bargain!"
There are four lines of boys below: "Three don't sell: don't sell those who don't filial piety to their parents, don't sell those who insult women, and don't sell those who are rich and unkind." ”
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old little Taoist priest, dressed in a gray Taoist robe, sat on a small pony, holding a yellowed old book, reading it with relish, regardless of whether there was business or not.
Time flies quickly, near the Shangqing Palace, people come and go, many people see the stall set up by the little Taoist, looking at '1,000 yuan a piece, refuse to bargain!' but most of them smiled, turned their heads and left, thinking that the little Taoist priest 'Chen Jianghong' is a little liar in the rivers and lakes, thinking about money and going crazy, you must know that the American blue pill is only more than a hundred pills, and Chen Jianghong doesn't know if there is a useful pill, he wants a thousand pills, and what is the 'three don't sell', everyone is not a fool, let you buy it, don't buy it, don't sell it, don't sell it, lie to the ghost.
At noon, a well-dressed middle-aged man with a big gold chain and a big back comb, and a fashionable beauty of her prime age, walked in front of Chen Jianghong's stall.
The middle-aged man saw the words 'man used aphrodisiac', and was slightly stunned, this middle-aged man's name is He Dafu, he is the boss of Shanxi coal, he has three coal mines in his hands, and he is making money every day, money is just a number for him, he can't remember clearly, how much money he has now, and he has long begun to enjoy the happiness brought by money.
But when people reach middle age, coupled with the excessive indulgence in the past few years, when they do that, they are always a little powerless, often in less than a minute, they will pour thousands of miles, finish things early, look at the complaining eyes of the baby under him, and then look at the listless little brother, He Dafu feels very faceless.
In the past few years, both Chinese medicine and Western medicine have seen it, but it has no effect, and now seeing Chen Jianghong wearing a Taoist robe, his heart moved, can it be said that this Nine Turns Health Pill is refined according to the Taoist alchemy method?
But looking at the conditions for not selling the three, He Dafu was a little puzzled, and the bad guy wouldn't write a bad guy on the door of his head, how could this little Taoist know who met the conditions for buying.
"Little Taoist, can I buy your elixir?" He Dafu asked.
Chen Jianghong closed the book, looked up at He Dafu, pinched the trick with his right hand, quickly flexed and stretched his thumb and middle finger, and after a while, he said lightly: "Your ancestors have accumulated virtue, leaving a residual shade, destined to be rich and noble in this life, it is rare that you are a filial son, although you have many female companions, but they are all you and I are willing, and you have never been forced, especially you also donated money to repair bridges and pave roads, and you also donated three hope primary schools, with immeasurable merits, you can buy medicine." ”
He Dafu was taken aback, this little Taoist priest just pinched the trick for a moment, and said his details so clearly, could it be that the little Taoist priest deliberately went to investigate himself, and set up a bureau here in advance to wait for himself, no, this time he came to Qingcheng Mountain to play, it was a temporary intention, even the female secretary around him only knew about the itinerary this morning, and he has been with him, it is impossible to notify others to set up a bureau and deceive himself.
Could it be that this little Taoist priest is really a fairy among the gods, pinching his fingers, he can calculate fate, determine good fortune and good fortune, and know the past and future.
"The Taoist chief is polite, how to take the pill, but what are the taboos?" Realizing that the little Taoist priest in front of him was not an ordinary person, He Dafu hugged his hands, saluted respectfully, and then asked.
"Take it for ten days, one tablet a day, and you will be cured. After Chen Jianghong finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to He Dafu, but picked up the old book and read it again.
He Dafu took out 10,000 yuan from his big wallet, received ten black pills, and saluted again before leaving, He Dafu was not angry at Chen Jianghong's ignorance, after all, people with ability are a little weird temper.
On this day, except for He Dafu, who bought ten pills, no one asked about Chen Jianghong's business, and Chen Jianghong was not in a hurry, and read the old books in his hand with relish for an afternoon.
In the evening, when the sun was about to set, Chen Jianghong closed the book, only to see that the cover of the book was written "Biography of the Heads of Xuanzong of the Qing Dynasty", got up and put away the cloth and medicine gourd, put it in the big pocket of the robe, picked up the Maza, and walked towards the back mountain.
It's getting dark, the tourists in the scenic spot are already very scarce, Chen Jianghong walks on the bluestone ancient road, the afterglow of the sunset pulls his shadow long, it seems that Chen Jianghong is so lonely, a gust of mountain wind blows, the wide robe, is blown up, in the sunset, it actually gives people a feeling of dancing like a fairy, wanting to ride the wind to return.
After walking for more than two hours, it was completely dark, and Chen Jianghong walked to an unnamed valley in the back mountain, where a dilapidated Taoist temple with three entrances was located. Push the door in, Chen Jianghong first came to the main hall, in the middle of the hall for a statue of a fairy, the fairy is wearing a robe, carrying a long sword, holding a gossip mirror in his left hand, holding a medicine gourd in his right hand, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, very amiable, this is the ancestor of Qing Xuanzong, Pure Yang Zhenren --- Lu Dongbin.
Chen Jianghong first put three sticks of incense on the ancestor, then knelt down and bowed reverently.
After the salute, Chen Jianghong got up and walked to the southwest corner of the backyard, closed his eyes, and calmed down, after a while, Chen Jianghong opened his eyes suddenly, and a divine light flashed in Chen Jianghong's eyes, Chen Jianghong's right hand was raised violently, his middle finger was half flexed, his index finger and ring finger pointed obliquely to the sky, his feet swayed, and he danced a strange dance, just like the sacrificial dance in the ancient tribe, shaking his head and saying: "Hiss, sneer......" The strange sound, the length of the voice has no regularity, in the middle of the night, but it gives people a creepy feeling.
A cold wind blew, there was a sound in the dark corner, and a big snake more than two meters long, with a thick child's arm and pure white skin swam out, the big snake swam to Chen Jianghong's side with great spirituality, stood up, looked at Chen Jianghong with broken golden eyes, and his tail swayed from side to side like a puppy, as if to please him.
