053 times, the fairy aunt invited the Quartet to Shuo, and the passing yin god was so manifest

He Xiangu's memory is really good, she looked at him carefully and patted her thigh and said, "Oh, it turned out to be you, I remembered it, I really met once, and you were next to Sun Simiao's old fairy at that time." Xiaodao Chief, why did you come to our Hejia Village for the Chinese New Year, and go to relatives?"

Mei Zhenyi: "No, no, I just came to find your family, what a coincidence." ”

"Looking for our family, could it be that what my mother-in-law did offended the immortal chief in the view?" He Musheng asked with some uneasiness.

Mei Zhenyi: "That's not the case, do you remember that the fairy aunt once took Ling Ai to Qiyun to see the illness?

He Xiangu: "I've been using it, is there a problem with the prescription?"

Mei Zhenyi: "There is nothing wrong with the prescription, but the effect is limited, Sun Zhenren later refined a furnace of elixir, and the effect is much better than the original decoction." When the old fairy was leaving, he ordered the pill to be sent to your house, and some time ago, things were delayed when he was busy, and now he remembers. As he spoke, he took out a small jade bottle, lifted the corner of the quilt and stretched out his hand, and handed it to He Xiangu.

"Is it an elixir for the little girl? It's hard for the old fairy to remember this kind of thing, how much is it?" He Musheng asked.

Mei Zhenyi said with a smile: "I don't want money, I just send it, and the alchemy medicine is all filial piety to Sun Zhenren's disciple, the eldest young master of the Mei family, so I won't charge your family's money." ”

"Thank you so much, is this bottle also a gift?" He Xiangu's eyes lit up, she didn't see the medicine but saw the jade bottle containing the medicine, this is the pure jade bottle used by the Kunlun Wonderland Magic Method to Sheng Dan Medicine, even if He Xiangu doesn't know the goods, she can see that this thing is very valuable.

Mei Zhenyi was stunned: "This, this bottle is filled with medicine, and the pill can only maintain the best medicinal properties when it is placed in the bottle, and there are a total of twenty-four medicines in it." Take one tablet about every fifteen days, according to the date of the 24 solar terms on the yellow calendar, you can take it for exactly one year, and you don't need to take the original decoction anymore. As for the bottle, wait until the pill is finished, and keep it if you like it. ”

He Yougu's elder brother He Huogen interjected angrily: "The Mei family sends things for the New Year, I know that there are tenants in our village. A few years ago, someone sent coriander from Qiyunguan, and even the vegetable jar was sent. ”

He Xiangu smiled when she heard this, the powder on her smiling face fell a little, put away the jade bottle and got up and said: "Elder Lu Dao came from afar to deliver medicine, just in time for the third day of the Lunar New Year, how can I thank others! ...... The trail is long. Just have a meal here, don't be in a hurry to leave, I'll give you a bag of New Year's money later. ”

Mei Zhenyi can't leave if she wants to, her clothes haven't been dried, and she is still wrapped in someone else's quilt. The rest of the people went to get busy. Only Aunt He was left in the room, she blinked her eyes and said weakly: "It turns out that you are here to bring me medicine, thank you!"

Mei Zhenyi looked at her, and there was a little pity in her heart. He said softly: "You don't have to thank me, if you want to thank me, thank the person who refined the pill." ”

He Yougu: "Of course I want to thank you, the medicine was sent by you all the way, I know that Qi Yunguan is far away." I also want to thank Sun Zhenren and the eldest young master of the Mei family, if you see them thank me for me, okay?"

Mei Zhenyi nodded: "Okay, okay, I'll definitely bring the words." You're so sensible at a young age. ”

He Yougu: "You are not very old, you are about the same as my brother, but you have become a Taoist monk." Isn't Sun Zhenren already gone, why are you still in Qiyunguan?"

Mei Zhenyi: "Sun Zhenren is gone, I stayed with the master of Quguan, and I have been living in Wuzhou, maybe I will have the opportunity to meet in the future." You must take your medicine on time according to the 24 solar terms, remember?"

He Yougu: "I'll remember." It's good to have the medicine you sent. Don't always drink bitter soup, Lu Daochang. What disease do I have?"

Mei Zhenyi said as easily as possible: "It's nothing, do you feel tightness in your chest and gasping as soon as you get cloudy, and your fingers are numb and your heart beats in the morning, so it's very uncomfortable, right? As long as you take the pill on time, you will be fine." ”

He Yougu smiled happily: "Really, that's great!"

Mei Zhenyi asked again: "Auntie, your name is Auntie, right, why did you look at me and smile secretly just now?"

He Yougu: "I think you're so stupid and funny, you can fall into the water when you walk during the day." I have been to Qiyunguan once, on the mountain, you must pay attention in the future, don't look at the sky when walking, but look at the road under your feet, otherwise it will be terrible to fall on the mountain. ”

Mei Zhenyi: "Thank you for reminding me, I will definitely pay attention in the future." ”

At this time, He Musheng led his son in: "Xiaodao Chief, I found a few clothes that probably fit you, you can change them first, and the robe will be dry after eating in a while." ...... Auntie, you go out first, and the Taoist chief has to get dressed. ”

Mei Zhenyi was not pretentious, changed her clothes and sat for a while, the meals in the hall were arranged, the dishes for the New Year were ready-made, and she killed a chicken, and the reception was also sumptuous. He Xiangu led her daughter to the back kitchen and did not serve the table, He Musheng and his son accompanied Mei Zhenyi to eat, and kept persuading him to serve the dishes very warmly.

During the banquet, Huo Gen asked curiously: "Xiaodao Chief, there are masters in Qiyun Temple, have you ever learned kung fu with the masters?"

Mei Zhenyi is not Taiyi Zhenren, He Yougu is not Nezha, he wants to help her, he can only do what he can do. I am good at the guidance method of internal nourishment, why don't I teach it to He Yougu? Even if I can't achieve any great results, it is good to be able to strengthen my muscles and bones. There is really a set of kung fu that can be taught not only to He Huogen, but also to He Yougu, who is congenitally weak.

He had seen this set of kung fu before he crossed over, and it was the ancient medicine of the five birds opera practiced by Professor Qu Zhengbo. Professor Qu can cultivate the realm of the Five Qi Dynasty Yuandi, and he has the power of the inner family's Xingyi Fist, and the foundation is this set of five poultry operas that have been practiced for many years, but it is not a martial art or spell, it is a method of exercising the body. Although it is very difficult to reach the advanced level, the basics of the introduction are not difficult to learn.

Thinking of this, he put down his chopsticks and said: "Sun Zhenren and I have also learned some internal kung fu, among which there is a set of guiding five poultry plays, which ordinary people can practice, not only can exercise muscles, bones, qi and blood, but also have a very mysterious use." Brother He, if you are interested. I'll come back when I have the chance, and I'll teach you when the time comes, even your sister can learn it." ”

Huo Gen's interest was immediately aroused, in the minds of ordinary people in that era, any kind of method practiced by the masters was hard to find, not to mention that it was passed on by Sun Simiao Zhenren? At that time, he nodded and said that it was decided, and Huo Gen thanked Mei Zhenyi again and again. And begged him to be sure to find an opportunity to come often.

He Musheng is an honest farmer, and He Huogen is too young, so he didn't realize that Mei Zhenyi's promise to come to the door to teach the Fa was a bit unusual, but he was grateful and happy in his heart.

The meal had just been eaten, and the dishes and chopsticks were being cleaned up, when the He family came to have a guest, only to hear someone shouting outside the gate: "Is the fairy aunt at home? The seizure is very severe, and the person has already sent it, so please treat it to the fairy girl. ”

Master Wei in the nearby village had an emergency, and the doctor couldn't see that he was in the evil spirit, so some enthusiastic people suggested coming to He Xiangu. It seems that this goddess's popularity in Shili and Eight Towns is not low. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, someone came to the door. And He Xiangu is also very dedicated, although it is the New Year, she still "went out", immediately walked out to meet the door and asked about the situation, and turned back to apologize to Mei Zhenyi. Said to clean up the table and "invite the fairy girl" in the hall.

Mei Zhenyi said: "Mrs. He, please take it, this is your own home, and I can't delay your business when I come as a guest, besides, I also want to see Mrs. He invite the fairy girl." ”

He Musheng led his son to clean up together, and the "dojo" for inviting the gods was set up in a short time, and the "altar" where He Xiangu sat was the table where he had just eaten, and now it was wiped clean and a yellow curtain was laid out. She put on her homemade "magic robe" and sat cross-legged on it, but she also looked decent, and there was a small incense burner in front of her.

The patient was carried into the door and placed on a bamboo couch humming, his consciousness was still quite clear, Mei Zhenyi saw his face at a glance and thought that it was a pig's head on his body. I saw that this person's face was swollen, like the boss who was blown up like a balloon, and I heard that he got up early today and didn't eat, so he suddenly fell ill.

With today's medical common sense, the first judgment of a doctor when he sees this symptom is often poisoning or acute nephritis. Mei Zhenyi secretly observed this person's anger. Not far away, he sensed his heartbeat and pulse with his divine sense, and secretly retreated to the cause but did not speak. Traditional Chinese medicine sees the symptoms of edema. I often think of the "Great Theory of Qi Alternation" in "Neijing-Su Wen", and we examine the virtual and the real in the pulse. He Xiangu, an illiterate country woman, is unlikely to understand this.

Mei Zhenyi did not make a specific consultation, and he could not draw an accurate conclusion about his condition for a while, but he was not in a hurry to step forward and stretch out his hand to observe on the side how He Xiangu, a goddess of the Tang Dynasty, treated people? Before he crossed over, of course he had seen those witches and gods in the remote countryside, and he even knew how to play the tricks of dancing the great gods, and there were still some ways to do it.

Witches, gods, and men do things for people, and most of them are coaxed and deceived. A small number of people will also secretly clip unilateral and home remedies in the talisman water and incense ash, and can also treat some common diseases, and practice medicine through ghosts and gods, which sometimes seems magical, but often there will be chaos, and even delay people's lives.

There are also some people who use methods that seem to be similar to modern spiritual therapy, but in fact, they start from the principle of "regulating emotions" in traditional Chinese medicine, and coax and scare patients in the name of ghosts and gods, telling patients what to do after returning home, and it will be effective. As mentioned above, most of the symptoms in ancient times can be attributed to the category of "emotion", and the root cause of the disease is caused by the usual living environment and habits. In ancient times, there was no distinction between medicine and witchcraft, and it was not without reason.

Sun Simiao is very good at regulating emotions and curing symptoms, and the effect of combining with decoction is very good, but his old man will not deliberately pretend to be a ghost, but explain the cause in detail from the perspective of the five elements, which is the difference between doctors and witches in later generations. This does not cure all diseases, and is often only an aid to health preservation.

And today's He Xiangu's approach, Mei Zhenyi is still the first time to encounter it, or he may have seen it before the crossing, but he couldn't see anything strange at the time. He Xiangu sat on the altar, closed her eyes slightly, chanted words in her mouth, and began to recite the incantation to invite Xiangu. Her pronunciation was slurred, and ordinary people couldn't hear what she was reading, but Mei Zhenyi's sense of hearing was very keen, and she even heard and guessed clearly.

I only heard her read: "The fairy aunt taught me to pass on the law, and the passing immortals will appear quickly, please Dongfang Shuo in the east, Nanshuo in the south, Xishuo in the west, and ...... in the north."

What kind of spell is this? Mei Zhenyi couldn't help but want to laugh. However, the next scene made him unable to laugh. As He Xiangu's "incantation" was recited, Mei Zhenyi sensed that she seemed to have entered a special state of concentration, and at the same time, the cigarette lit on the altar suddenly turned into a spiral and floated upward.

There was no wind in the room, and Mei Zhenyi's consciousness moved, sensing that something "something" was swirling in. There is really a yin god who appears in the daytime, first hovering a few times on the incense burner, and then giving up in He Xiangu's divine consciousness. If the divine sense is sensitive, the eyes can see it, but Mei Zhenyi didn't see what it was. Because the shape of the Yin God was already ethereal, and that thing kept spinning, it quickly disappeared into He Xiangu's body.

It seems that this He Xiangu really has a doorway, belongs to the kind of person who is born with a particularly keen sense of spirit, and can communicate with ghosts and gods after thinking quietly and relaxing himself, and even the ethereal spirit can lead the Yin God to temporarily support her. She may not have learned it from her master, but was born with something peculiar and learned to do so inadvertently through imitation.

As the cigarette turns into a spiral. The people in the room were inexplicably a little nervous and held their breath, and it was strange to say that the patient who was lying on the bamboo couch no longer hummed, and looked at He Xiangu with stupid eyes. Mei Zhenyi has been paying attention to her surroundings and found that He Yougu's reaction was different from that of others. Ever since the thing appeared, her gaze had followed, as if she had sensed something.

"Auntie, did you see something coming in?" Mei Zhenyi happened to be standing beside her. Leaned over and asked quietly.

He Yougu nodded with wide eyes, and replied in a low voice: "Yes, there is a thing that comes in, every time my mother invites Immortal Gu, I can feel it, but I can't see it clearly." ...... Daochang Lu, can you see it too?"

Mei Zhenyi was slightly shocked when she heard this, it seems that this little girl is a person with a very keen sense of spirit like her mother, and it is likely to be genetic. I'm afraid this is not a good thing for her, it can only lead to a weaker spirit. At this time, He Xiangu, who was sitting on the altar, spoke, and her voice did not change from her, but it looked a little weird.

"Wei Congshan, do you remember Dong Xiaozhen? She has served you for ten years, and you have grown from a poor scholar to Master Wei, but how are you right about her? You like the girl of the Zhang family, and you are a concubine. Why do you want to divorce your wife? She was kicked out of the house by you. What a miserable death!" He Xiangu spoke.

The man named Wei Congshan looked shocked and his eyes widened. The swollen and pig-like face stared at a pair of small eyes, which looked indescribably funny and weird, and he replied in a trembling voice: "Fairy Gu, do you know about Dong Xiaozhen? Is it her ghost who is not scattered? She knew that I had a relationship with Zhang Qiaoer, and she had always resolutely refused to let me admit her into the door, I had been friends with Zhang Qiaoer since childhood, and now that I have divorced my wife, I naturally want to marry Ming Media. ”

When the onlookers heard this question and answer, they couldn't help but whisper and discuss, and Mei Zhenyi also heard a general idea from these bits and pieces. This patient's name is Wei Congshan, when he was young, his family was good and he also read poetry and books, and later his father died early, and his widow mother did a small business to bring him up, and the family gradually declined, and life was very difficult.

Wei Congshan fell in love with the daughter of his neighbor Zhang's family since he was a child, but when he reached the age of talking about marriage, Wei's mother gave him another family affair, Dong Xiaozhen, the daughter of the local wealthy gentry Dong family, who was also afraid of clinging to the poor life. And that old man Dong also fell in love with Wei Congshan's son-in-law, after all, he was a talented person and had read, and he was a very good posterity in the local area at that time.

Wei Congshan was helpless, and married Dong Xiaozhen from his mother's order, and Qiao'er, the daughter of the Zhang family, later married someone else. In fact, in the era in which Mei Zhenyi lived, as long as he could read and hyphenate words, it was basically not a problem to make a living.

Wei Congshan married Dong Xiaozhen as an adult, and with the help of the Dong family, life is getting better and better, and nearly ten years have passed, and the Wei family has become one of the largest families in Yangxian Town. There is only one bad thing, that is, he has been childless after marriage, and Wei Congshan also had the idea of taking a concubine, but Dong's temper is more arrogant and resolutely refusal, Wei Congshan has always been a little afraid of her, so forget it.

Things changed a year ago, that Zhang Qiaoer met an unladylike person after getting married, "reconciled" from her husband's family, and returned to her mother's house in Yangxian Town, which is divorced in today's words. Wei Congshan did not forget the old relationship, and saw that Qiao'er was pitiful, so he discussed with the Dong family and wanted to accept her as a concubine. Unexpectedly, Dong's steam cried, which made the family restless, and sent people to Zhang's house to scold the door, and scolded Zhang Qiaoer for several days and only cried at home. Wei Congshan was very angry because of this.
