Chapter Eighty-Four: The Divine Dragon Medicine King
Xin Le led the three of them to a small courtyard on the top of Yaowangfeng Mountain, she pointed to the dilapidated house in front of her and said, "Here it is." β
Yi Dan and the three of them slashed in the direction of Xinle's finger, only to see the words "Yaofeng Courtyard" hanging on the door of the house.
"Miss Xinle, may I ask why the Medicine King chose to settle down in this place with high mountains and dangerous roads?" Yi Dan asked.
"Yes, this mountain road is steep, how inconvenient is it for people to see a doctor?" Youming asked.
"You don't know, there are many rare medicinal materials growing on this Medicine King Peak, and they must be picked in time, if you miss it, you will lose your precious medicinal properties, so my master simply lives on the top of this mountain, just to make it more convenient to collect medicines. Zinaut replied.
"I see," Youming said.
"I heard from Master that this house was left by an Aurora Dao Master who had passed away, and this big snake was also left by the Aurora Dao Master at the beginning. Citamine said.
"No wonder, I'll just say, why does this house look like a Taoist immortal temple? Yi Dan said.
"Yes, please come in, a few of you. Citamine said, pointing to the courtyard gate.
A few people approached to take a look, only to see a wooden sign hanging at the door of the house, which read: "Today is full, please come back tomorrow." β
"Miss Zina, this sign says it's full today, can we not go in?" Yi Dan asked.
"It's okay, it was hung by my two senior brothers, you all come in with me. β
Xinle led the three of them into the courtyard, only to see a large group of people gathered in the courtyard, as if waiting for the medicine king to treat them. The courtyard was full of all kinds of medicinal herbs that were being dried, and in the room at the main gate, an old man who looked to be in his fifties but was already full of white hair sat and was seriously diagnosing the condition of an old woman.
"Do you see? The white-haired old man in the middle of the hall is my master, the Divine Dragon Medicine King. Citale said to the three of them.
"Well, I see. It is really a kind and kind old man with a compassionate face. Yi Dan exclaimed.
At this time, a man in his twenties walked to the courtyard with a basket of medicinal herbs and said to Xin Le: "Senior sister, you came back just in time, the weather is good today, hurry up and come over to help, bring these medicinal materials out to dry." β
"Senior brother, I just came back from collecting medicines, and I have to sort out the medicinal materials in the basket first. Citamine quickly explained.
"Hurry up," the man said.
"Okay. I'll be soon, brother, don't worry," Citra said.
The senior brother walked past Xin Le with a basket, shook his head slightly, and muttered in a low voice: "If you are ugly, you have to work more..."
When the senior brother passed by Yi Dan and the others, he said, "I'm sorry everyone, it's full today, and my master and his old man are also tired. If you want to see a doctor, please come back tomorrow morning. β
"Second Senior Brother, these are the friends I met when I was collecting medicine on the cliff just now. Zinon said, putting down the basket.
"Senior sister, you know that Master is old. How hard it is to see so many patients every day?Why can't you be considerate of him and cooperate with the rules set by our senior brother to limit the number of people?" the senior brother reproached Xin Le.
"Senior brother, I know that Master and his old man are very hard, but these friends of mine have all come from afar to ask Master and his old man to heal their illnesses. Senior brother, you can make an exception, okay?" said Xinle.
Yi Dan saw that the senior brother was very embarrassed, so he stepped forward to relieve the siege and said, "Miss Xinle is okay, since Yaowangfeng has rules. We can't destroy it, I think we'll come back tomorrow."
At this time, another man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old came out of the house and said to Xinle, "Senior sister, where have you been? β
Just as Xin Le was about to explain, the man said, "Quick, go over there and cut those dry neem bark into slices, and I'm going to dry these herbs with my senior brother." β
"Okay, Second Senior Brother, I'll go" With that, Xin Lok walked to the corner of the courtyard and used a big knife to painstakingly cut a large pile of dry bark on the ground into pieces of spare medicinal herbs.
"If you're so ugly, you have to do more work. The second senior brother also muttered quietly while holding the medicinal herbs.
Yi Dan couldn't stand it when he saw these two men bullying Xinle who was single and weak, so he stepped forward and said to Xinle: "Miss Xinle, can I help you?"
"Oh, no, I can. Zimbal said with a big smile as she cut the bark.
"Do you have to cut these herbs every day?" Yi Dan asked.
"Yes, cutting medicine, drying medicine, collecting medicine. Citamine said.
"I think the bark is dry and hard, and it's hard to cut, right?" Yi Dan asked.
"It doesn't matter, Master said that if you use medicine correctly, you will save people, and if you use it wrong, you will kill people. Therefore, he told us that we must be familiar with medicinal materials and be proficient in pharmacology, so that we can cure diseases and save people in the future. Citamine said.
"Zineda Girl, you've worked so hard. Yi Dan said distressedly.
"It's not hard, it's not hard, it's all I like to do. If Master hadn't picked me up from the mountains, I'm afraid I would have been taken away by a wild wolf. I don't know how happy I am to be with Master, not only to learn medicine and medicine, but also to cure diseases and save people. Zinaut said with a bright smile as she cut the dry neem bark with a guillotine. The appearance of dedication to work enthusiastically makes people completely forget the flaws on her face, and she looks so sunny and cheerful, which makes people feel comfortable.
Xin Le saw that the two senior brothers were busy drying medicine, so he said to Yi Dan: "If you want to help, go and help my two senior brothers dry medicine."
"Okay then," Yi Dan said that, Yi Dan began to dry the medicinal herbs in the courtyard from the basket in the man's hand.
"Senior brother, come and help together," Yi Dan said as he dried the medicinal herbs.
"Okay, I'm coming"
You Ming happily ran over and helped Yi Dan spread out the medicinal herbs and dry them in the warm sun.
The two senior brothers saw that Yi Dan was so smart and clever and could be a helper, so they didn't say anything more. A yard of people is busy.
Youming and Sheng Luniu also helped to dry the medicinal materials together, and everyone was very happy, and after a while, all the medicinal materials were spread out.
At this time, the medicine king who was treating the people in the house shouted in a vicissitudes of life: "Xinle, come over quickly, bring this aunt into the inner room, and help her check the rash on her body." Let's see if it's a gangrene blood rash."
"Yes, Master, I'm here. β
With that, Citamine dropped the slicing knife in her hand, walked to the house, and took the middle-aged aunt patient to the next room to check on the condition.
After a while, Xin Le walked out of the room and said to the medicine king, "Master, that's right, this aunt is suffering from gangrene blood rash."
"That's a bit of a problem," said the Medicine King.
"Medicine King, I heard that the gangrene blood rash is a terminal disease. Can I still be saved?" the aunt asked in fear.
"Don't worry, I'll find a way to save you, don't be too afraid. Yao Wang Gang said.
"Master, this poisonous blood rash is very tricky, we're afraidβ" Xinle worried.
"No matter how tricky it is, you have to find a way. The Medicine King said.
The Medicine King finally had a moment to rest. He walked out of the house, looked at the people sitting in the courtyard, and asked, "Are there any patients in the back?"
At this time, the other people waiting in the courtyard hurriedly got up. With rice, multigrain steamed buns, fresh winter bamboo shoots, Chinese cabbage, and even pheasants, hares, and wild boar in hand, they flocked to the king of medicine.
"Medicine King. We are not here to see the doctor today, our illnesses have been cured by you, today is the winter solstice, we specially went up the mountain to thank your old man. We are all villagers in the mountains, and we don't have any gold, silver or jewelry, but please accept these foods. A mountain man said.
"Brother Zhang, does your leg still hurt?" asked the Medicine King.
"It doesn't hurt anymore. Now I can run, jump, and work in the fields. Thank you for the rejuvenation of the medicine king. Saved my leg," the old man said.
"Medicine King, please accept these things, our illnesses are cured, if you don't take money, we really don't want to go. The people said in a gossiping voice.
"Everyone, take these things back, there are already a lot of people on the mountain who have sent food, and we have few people, and we can't eat much. It's not easy for all folks. It's the winter solstice, you take these grains back, give the elderly and children a little more to eat, don't let them freeze and starve. The Medicine King said.
"Medicine King, you are really a good person, a living bodhisattva, a living immortal sent by God to save us. The people knelt on the ground one after another, and did not hesitate to say words of gratitude.
When Yi Dan saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but praise in his heart: Isn't this the perfect world in his wish? If everyone in the world can be like this, then how can there still be ugliness and darkness in this world?
Yi Dan smiled at what was happening in front of him. At this moment, the big snake that had frightened her on the mountain road quietly straightened up from outside the courtyard wall and looked at everything inside.
"Look, everyone, the dragon is also here. A citizen looked back at the big python outside the courtyard and shouted.
Everyone turned around and began to bow down to the serpent.
The serpent slowly poked its head in and meekly leaned into the medicine king's arms. The Medicine King touched the head of the big snake and asked, "What's wrong?"
At this time, Xinle came out of the next room and said, "Master, just now the dragon scared this girl so much that she almost fell off the cliff in the mountains, maybe she is still feeling guilty in her heart. β
After the Medicine King looked at Yi Dan, he asked, "Really, girl, you didn't fall, did you?"
"It's okay, it's all because I don't understand the situation, otherwise I wouldn't be so scared, please Shenlong, don't feel guilty anymore?" Yi Dan said.
When the big snake heard Yi Dan's words, he straightened his head and nodded, and everyone in the courtyard was amazed.
"I didn't expect that this divine dragon could really understand what I said, it was amazing, if you didn't see it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe. Yi Dan said in surprise.
"Yes, senior sister, if we go back and tell my father, I guess they won't believe it's true. Youming then chimed in.
"The Divine Dragon is really amazing, but what is even more remarkable is the Divine Dragon Medicine King who saves the life and helps the wounded. Yi Dan said, and everyone present echoed him.
"The girl has won the award, and the old decay is just doing a little bit of effort, which is nothing. The Divine Dragon Medicine King said humbly.
"The world says that Guanyin Bodhisattva is a god who saves suffering and responds to requests. But those are just legends, and I haven't seen them with my own eyes anyway. And there is a living Bodhisattva in the world who hangs a pot to help the world and save the wounded, but I have seen it with my own eyes. People say, isn't it?" said Yi Dan.
"Yes!" replied everyone in the courtyard in unison.
"Medicine King, you don't have to be too modest, you are benevolent, righteous, merciful, and beloved by all of us. Youming said.
"You don't have to be like this, it's cold on the ground, let's get up quickly. β
After shouting, all the people on the ground stood up.
"Actually, I'm not as good as you say. What you see is only the appearance, and the essence of many things in the world is not what you see. The Medicine King said.
"No matter what the essence is, what everyone sees is that the King of Medicine, you save the dead and help the wounded, and do good deeds to accumulate virtue. The people have their own opinions in their hearts, and everyone says yes?"
"Don't say that, the old man's ability is also limited, and this poisonous blood rash in front of me stumped me," said the medicine king.
"Medicine King, there is no hope for my life anyway, please let the Medicine King try, even if it is dead, I am willing, everyone present please help me to testify, if I Li Zhang's family does not take medicine, my life should be like this, and all the consequences have nothing to do with the Medicine King" At this time, the aunt who suffered from gangrene blood rash said.
"Okay, I understand, don't worry, I'll try my best to find a way," said the Medicine King.
"Master, you told us that there is no cure for this poisonous blood rash, unless..."
"That's right, unless you can find the world's most poisonous cockscomb ice snake, and use it to fight poison with poison, you can resolve the poisonous blood rash on my aunt's body," said the medicine king.
"But that cockscomb ice snake, with a complicated temperament, is difficult to find, I have been looking for it in Wuyi Mountain for several years, but I haven't found it. The elder brother said.
"It's okay, I'm going to look for it this time, and I don't believe I can't find it," Citra said.
At this time, Youming on the side said: "Oops, I seem to remember"
"What do you remember?" asked Citra.
"Yesterday, my senior sister was bitten by a five-step snake, and it was a kind brother who saved us. I remember he seemed to be catching some cockscomb ice snake," Youming said.
"Really? Are you sure it's the cockscomb ice snake?" Zinta quickly asked.
"That's right, it's the cockscomb ice snake, I can hear it clearly. Youming sighed.
"Well, I seem to remember it too, it's indeed the cockscomb ice snake," Yi Dan said.
"So, where is the good Samaritan you spoke of?" asked Zina.
"Oh, two miles to the north, ten miles east of the mountain road, there's a little thatched hut," Youming said.
"Okay, thank you, I'm going to catch the cockscomb ice snake and make a medicine primer for my aunt. Citamine said.
"Miss Zina, why don't I come with you?" Yi Dan asked
"No, you have finally climbed up the mountain, so let's rest here first. Rest assured, I'll be back soon. Zinaut replied.
"Cita, be careful, remember to only take snake venom, don't hurt it. The Medicine King admonished.
"Okay Master, I understand, don't worry. With that, Xinle happily ran out of the yard and ran all the way down the hill. (To be continued.) )
