It was already past noon when Ling Xiao arrived, and Zhang's mansion had turned into a pile of ruins, and Ling Xiao stood beside the pile of ruins, silent for a while. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Ma'am, are we late?" asked Apricot softly.
β...... Xing'er, we have to rush to Fuxian Temple immediately, and I want to see the abbot. Ling Xiao looked at the embers of Zhang's Mansion in front of him, and sighed softly, "There is no need to stay here any longer." β
"Hey...... Madame, slow down and get in the car. Xing'er rarely sees Ling Xiao's preoccupied look, but the look on Ling Xiao's face is getting more and more serious during this time, which makes her feel very sad in her heart, this Mrs. Fan married into the Fan family, no matter how difficult things she faced, she was calm and calm, and she was very well measured, Fan Zhen and the old lady have saved a lot of troubles over the years, all because this little daughter-in-law handled things quite decently, but now, facing the tragedy of Mr. Zhang's annihilation, this Fan family up and down, it is really never peaceful.
The carriage carrying them was slowly driving away from Zhang Yuanzhi's old house and walking to the corner of the street, Xing'er sat on the carriage, waved the whip in her hand, and was trying to speed up, when she saw a carriage parked on the side of the road, and the driver in the carriage was looking anxiously at the intersection with an anxious expression.
When their carriage drove past the carriage on the side of the road, Xing'er heard a hoarse coughing sound from inside the car, and the sound was mixed with panting, as if the person was about to suffocate to death, she was about to turn her head and call Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao had already reached out and lifted the curtain of the car, holding the medicine box she often used in her hand, and ordered Xing'er to stop the car.
"Why are the people in the car coughing so badly?" Ling Xiao got out of the car and ran to the carriage on the side of the road.
"Inside the car is our family...... Master Jiang, I came here a few days ago to do some small business, I didn't want to be infected with the wind chill on the road, today is very bad, I can't stop coughing, let the house slave go to ask for a doctor, and I haven't come back yet. The coachman must have been so worried and frightened that he spoke with a trill.
"The little girl knows a little about pharmacology and acupuncture, can you let me take a look at your master, listen to his cough, if you don't dredge the airway in time, I'm afraid that I will suffocate to death." When Ling Xiao heard his cough, it was already getting weaker and weaker, and his heart was also anxious.
"Well, that's great, and Mrs. Lao has a look at our master. The coachman was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly helped Ling Xiao into the carriage.
Ling Xiao got into the carriage and saw a middle-aged man sitting in the car, the man had three locks of long hair, his face was handsome, but his face was yellow, his cough was already white at this time, and there was no trace of blood on his face, she didn't care about the difference between men and women, and reached out to untie his shirt, the man originally closed his eyes, felt her hands stretched out to his chest, suddenly opened his eyes, reached out and grabbed Ling Xiao's hand, although he was sluggish because of the violent cough, but as soon as he noticed that there was someone next to him, his eyes showed a look of vigilance, and the look in his eyes revealed a majesty, which made people feel a little frightenedγ Although his hands were no longer strong, he stared at the woman in plain clothes in front of him at this time, and his eyes were still sharp and abnormal. Ling Xiao looked at his sharp eyes, and was slightly stunned in her heart, but she was in a hurry to save people at this time, so she didn't think too much, and hurriedly said to him: "You are panting so badly now, I must untie your shirt and prick you with a few stitches to stabilize your breath." β
The man still held on to her hand tightly, Ling Xiao had to put down the needle bag in his hand, and said to him with a serious expression: "I must pierce the silver needle into your Tiantu acupoint, the Tiantu acupoint is in your neck, the Jizhong acupoint is in your chest, and the lung Yu acupoint is on your back, please cooperate with Master Jiang, I am saving your life now, I really can't care about anything else." β
When the man heard her say this, he slowly let go of his hands, he had just exhausted all the strength in his body, and he couldn't do anything anymore, so he could only let Ling Xiao untie his clothes, Ling Xiao skillfully pierced the silver needle into these three acupoints, she lightly swiped the silver needle, and when the old man Jiang was defenseless, he reached out to his back and slapped it violently, the old man Jiang opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and his breath became smoother, but he was weak after coughing for a long time, and the thick phlegm spit out on Ling Xiao's clothes. At this time, Ling Xiao didn't care about wiping the filth on his clothes, and after he was breathing smoothly, he pulled out the silver needle and put it back in the needle bag.
That Master Jiang wanted to lie flat in the car, but was stopped by Ling Xiao: "Master Jiang can't lie flat, it's better to lie half-in the car." She redressed Master Jiang, turned around and asked the coachman, "Is there any water in the car?"
"Yes, yes!" The coachman was very happy to see that the old man had relieved himself, and hurriedly took out the sheepskin bag and handed it to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao took out a small porcelain bottle from the medicine bag, poured two extremely small pills from the bottle and handed them to Master Jiang: "Master Jiang, eat these two pills." β
Although Master Jiang had gratitude in his eyes, he was still a little hesitant when he saw the two pills. Ling Xiao smiled slightly: "I saved Master Jiang's life just now, and now I definitely won't poison you again, so don't worry too much." β
That Master Jiang was told by Ling Xiao, his face turned red, and he was a little embarrassed to take the two pills and put them in his mouth with clean water. After a pillar of incense, his face slowly returned to normal.
Ling Xiao put the medicine bottle back into the medicine bag, and then she realized the dirt on her body, she took out the handkerchief in her sleeve and wiped the dirt clean. Master Jiang struggled to sit up and made a gesture to her: "Huaiwen is unwell, and he can't give Mrs. a full salute in this car, thank you Mrs. for saving her life today." His voice was slightly low, for he had been coughing for a long time, and his voice was a little hoarse.
"It's just that I happened to meet Master Jiang, and the little girl will often treat people and prescribe some medicines on weekdays, which are all things that are easy to do, and the master doesn't have to take it to heart. Ling Xiao said this is right, in the years in Qiaozhou, she often took Fan Jun to treat the people who had no money for treatment, and there were not a few people who were able to survive from her hands, as for the old man Jiang in front of her, it was really an insignificant one of her daily good deeds.
"Dare to ask where Madame lives? After my Huaiwen recovers, I will come to thank Madame. That old man Jiang's voice was full of gratitude.
"You don't need to ask for your name, I didn't think to get your gratitude when I saved you, so you don't owe me anything. If you must know who I am, and if you must give me something back, then saving others will only increase the troubles of you and me. Ling Xiao smiled slightly, "These things, the master thinks too much, but it is not conducive to the recuperation of your body." β
"In this way, Madame is unwilling to tell me, your name is denied?" that Master Jiang sighed, "Madame's medical skills are excellent, my Huaiwen is very admired today, and I met Madame by chance today, presumably my Huaiwen will live well, and I will never die so easily." β
"Master Jiang's illness should be a disease caused by years of hard work, plus you have lost too much blood, and you have lost both qi and blood, and you have not been well conditioned for many years, so you will be sick for a long time. Ling Xiao lowered her head and thought for a while, "It's just that the little girl doesn't have a good prescription for the lord for a while, if the little girl can think of a cure for the lord's illness, she will definitely find a way to inform you, so that you can recover as soon as possible." β
β...... I have been cured for many years, but there is no improvement. After today's catastrophe and not dying, I guess this accumulated disease will not easily kill me. Then Master Jiang also smiled slightly, "Since Madam doesn't want to tell me your name, then I Huaiwen won't force you." β
"Master Jiang, take a good rest, the little girl still has something to deal with, so she will leave first. Ling Xiao nodded, said goodbye, and got out of the carriage.
The old man Jiang opened the curtain of the carriage and silently watched Ling Xiao's carriage drive away little by little, he just thought that he would really leave this life in Yongzhou, he didn't expect that there would be such a strange woman who came to save him, it seems that he is destined to die.
"Sir...... Why hasn't this Qing housekeeper come back yet? β
"Let's go to the inn and wait for him first, he can't find us here, he will definitely go to the inn to find him." β
β...... Master, you shouldn't have gone to see that house, so many people just died, how heavy is this yin qi, the master's body has always been weak, and he can't go to that kind of place. The driver said worriedly.
"Hmph...... You almost revealed my identity just now, I told you before I went out, no matter who I met, you can't tell my name, why did you forget it within a few days of going out?"
β...... I was wrong, sir...... I'm also in a hurry, who would have thought that you would almost ...... at that time Master, I won't dare in the future. The coachman hurried back in fright.
"That's it, the matter has passed, what crime can I, Master Jiang, cure you? But your head is not slow to turn, and I will change my surname to Jiang at this turn. "That old man Jiang remembered what happened just now, and he couldn't continue to investigate his inappropriateness.
"I really don't dare to be a little one, I still want to thank the master for not blaming me. β
"Hey...... Let's go back to the inn. That old man Jiang closed his eyes slightly, he had too many things to think about at this time, and he needed to calm down and think about it.
Emperor Wu of Liang era flourished Buddhism, this Yongzhou's Fuxian Temple is the peak of incense, the abbot of the temple heard that Mrs. Fan Yuncheng came, came to the temple early to greet.
"The old monk is polite, ma'am. β
"The master is exempt, the little girl came this time to ask where an old man went. Ling Xiao hurriedly returned the salute.
In the old monk's view, the old man is the past, and it doesn't matter whether he asks or not. β
"The little girl doesn't have the master's Huigen, she just cares about the old people, so she has this question. Ling Xiao smiled slightly, "The husband is empty, and everything is nothing more than my creation." Those who know all things to become themselves are only saints! What is it? Those who are not holy are not holy, they are not holy, and those who are holy are saints, and saints are not different. β
"Seeing the origin is seeing the law, seeing the law is seeing the Buddha, and the effect of things and things is not different. Therefore, the mystery of the people is not ominous, and the hidden luck is that is, and the total six are in the mirror heart, and one comes and goes to become the body. β
"If the little girl has a relationship with the Buddha in this life, she can look down on all the things that are related to the Dharma. It's just that the little girl has a lot of worries in this life and is at a loss. β
"Madame doesn't just know a thing or two about Buddhism, but knows a lot. When you have already understood the profound principles of the Dharma, why do you have so many concerns?"
"The fate of this life is not exhausted, and it can only be put down when the fate is exhausted. Ling Xiao raised his hand to take off a phoenix hairpin on the hairpin and handed it to the abbot, "Does the abbot have a solution?"
The abbot pondered for a long time: "Madame, but you are going to take that thing away?"
"Exactly. Ling Xiao replied.
"As soon as this thing comes out, I'm afraid it will affect the people of Fuxian Temple. β
If everyone in the temple has a fate, why do they care about these things outside the body? When Shakyamuni had an epiphany, he was not in the temple, but between heaven and earth. β
"Huh...... Madame has a point, please come with me. β
The abbot took her to the apse, took out a sandalwood box from a secret room, and handed it to her: "This is something that Mr. Zhang has deposited in my place, only because you have this token in your hand, I will hand it over to you, but you really think clearly, once this box is opened, it can no longer be closed." The abbot said meaningfully.
"Abbot, Ling Xiao naturally knows the truth that there is no turning back when opening the bow, but what he didn't expect was that this thing would happen so suddenly, so that there was no room for maneuver. Ling Xiao looked at the wooden box, and she was also a little afraid in her heart, she was afraid of the future that she couldn't control, and when it really came to her, what would everything look like?
The abbot also sighed slightly: "The fog ahead is getting heavier and heavier, donor, when you move forward, you must see that direction clearly, don't go astray." β
Ling Xiao chanted the Buddha's name: "The master is too worried, the fog is blocking the eyes of the world, if there is light in the heart, naturally not afraid of the fog in front of you." β
"If the donor has this confidence, the old man is also worried. β
"Thank you, Master Abbot, I'm going to say goodbye to Lingxiao, I'm afraid it's going to be difficult to return to Fuxian Temple, master should take care. β
"Donor, the old man you asked...... has already passed away as a Dao Immortal, and he has gone to the Elysian World to be born, and there is no longer the troubles of the world. When the abbot waited for her to leave, he could not bear it for a while, so he spoke it.
Ling Xiao stood still, her heart full of sadness, this result was something she had thought about a thousand times, since she saw Master Renqing. But when the harsh reality was in front of her, she was still unbearable.
"Thank you, Abbot!" Ling Xiao's voice was a little choked, she had always been calm, but when she heard this today, her heart was still stirring.
"Donor, his fate in this life has been exhausted, and I hope that the donor will let go of the past. β
"I'm just afraid...... If you can't let go of the past, there are others. Ling Xiao sighed.
