Chapter Seventy-Eight: Immortal Dao
The two walked forward to take a look, it turned out that Shi Jia was lying on the ground, weak, and his face was tired, Mu Ling hurriedly helped Shi Jia who fell to the ground, Luo Yuemei also stepped forward to hug Shi Jia, and kept calling out "Sister Shi, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? Wake up! ......Wake up, wake up."
In Luo Yuemei's hurried call, Shi Jia slowly opened her eyes, she didn't want Mu Ling and Luo Yuemei to worry, she barely squeezed out a smile on her pale face, Shi Jia smiled and said to Luo Yuemei: "I'm fine, silly sister, look at your anxious appearance." ”
Shi Jia's smile that she tried to squeeze out did not alleviate the worries in Mu Ling and Luo Yuemei's hearts, both of them wrote their worries on their faces, at this time, Mu Ling's soft tone conveyed her worries, and she asked worriedly: "Sister, what's wrong with you?
Mu Ling was still smiling, with a smile on her pale face, forcing a smile, giving people a strong poignant, Shi Jia was just trying her best to resolve Mu Ling and Luo Yuemei's worries, she said softly: "I'm really fine, but I'm feeling a little tired, you can help me go back to the room to rest for a while." ”
Shi Jia's happy face was like a sharp knife slicing Mu Ling's heart, looking at the weak and emaciated Shi Jia in front of her, she thought of her sister Shi Jia's dark and inhuman life imprisoned in a closed dungeon for several years, her eyes were red, how she hoped that all this could be borne by herself alone, however, no amount of sentimentality and remorse was to no avail, because all this had happened, fate seemed to be a huge driving force behind life, and everything had been arranged in the dark, not by people or with things.
After listening to Shi Jia's words, Mu Ling and Luo Yuemei didn't ask much, the two just carefully helped Shi Jia back to the room, and the three of them came to the Ling'er Jiayin Building, Luo Yuemei carefully helped Shi Jia to lie down and rest, and Mu Ling sent the maid in the room to go to the doctor.
After a while, the maid led an old man with gray hair into the house, only to see the old man carrying a medicine box made of sandalwood, its surface because of a long time and part of the red paint has been worn off, and the old man's gray hair notes that he is old, the old man is dressed as a Taoist doctor, although old, but the crane hair is childish, the face is full of moving brilliance, although the old man is old, but still steady, light like a butterfly, between the eyebrows quite a taste of fairy wind bones.
Mu Ling walked up to the old man and said politely: "Senior Feng, my sister doesn't know what's wrong, she suddenly fainted to the ground, please ask the senior to check my sister's condition." ”
The old man put down the medicine box gently, walked to Shi Jia's bed unhurriedly, and carefully inspected Shi Jia's condition, while Mu Ling and Luo Yuemei stood aside, quietly looking at Shi Jia on the hospital bed, all silent.
It turned out that the old man's name was Feng Daochan, a person in the apricot forest, a Taoist doctor, and was made a "fairy master of the apricot forest" by the people in the rivers and lakes, and was recruited by the Weiwu Sect to command, this person was charitable, but his surname was eccentric, he never wanted to obey people's orders to save people and heal the sick, and acted completely according to his own preferences, Mu Ling had nothing to do with him, so he had to eat and drink well, and be polite to him, so that he did not reject Mu Ling's requirements.
There is an allusion to the saying about "Xinglin" in ancient times, according to legend, Dong Feng in the Three Kingdoms era of the Later Han Dynasty, the word is different, the Marquis of Fujian, has a high degree of Taoism and medical skills, and the time of Hua Lun, Zhang Zhongjing is equally famous, known as "Jian'an Three Divine Doctors". According to the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Shi Xie's Biography", Jiaozhou Assassin Shi Xie has been sick and fainted for three days, and the immortal Dong Feng stuffed a self-medicated pill into the mouth of the assassin and poured a little water, held his head and shook it, and after eating, the unconscious assassin magically opened his eyes, and his hands and feet could move.
A similar record is detailed in the ancient book "The Legend of the Immortals", according to legend, Dong Feng once lived in seclusion for a long time at the southern foot of Lushan Mountain in Jiangxi Province, and was enthusiastic about diagnosing and treating diseases for the mountain people. He never asked for a reward when he practiced medicine, and when he cured a seriously ill patient, he asked the patient to plant five apricot trees on the hillside, and only one apricot tree for a mild illness. Therefore, the patients who came to seek treatment in Sixiang gathered when they heard the news, and Dong Feng planted apricots as medical reward.
A few years later, there were as many as 100,000 apricot groves in the Lushan area. After the apricots were ripe, Dong Feng sold the apricots into grain to sell them to the poor people in Lushan and the hungry people from the south to the north, and rescued more than 20,000 people in a year. It is precisely because of Dong's noble character of practicing medicine to help the world that he has won the universal admiration of the people. After Dong Feng feathered, the people in the Lushan area set up an altar in the apricot forest to worship this benevolent Taoist doctor. Later, people built the apricot altar, the real altar, and the immortal altar in Dong Feng's seclusion to commemorate Dong Feng.
In this way, the word apricot forest has gradually become a special term for doctors, and people like to use words such as "apricot forest spring warmth" and "reputation full of apricot forest" to praise the common people who have a noble medical style like Tong Feng.
And Feng Dao Chan often takes "little Dong Feng" as himself, claiming that he is a disciple of Dong Feng's disciples, helping the sick people in the world, and does not take a penny, and once lived in seclusion and Hengshan Mountains and forests in a Taoist named Mo Wendao as the same brother, the two studied Dong Feng's medical pathology, the art of fine channel medicine, and the head of the southern school of medicine, and the northern faction Leng Jicang and Ding Jiuwu are equally famous, Feng Daochan is the senior brother, surnamed Ciren, Mo Wendao is good to develop some strange poisons, and Leng Jicang and Ding Jiuwu are quite similar.
A few years ago, Mo Wendao built a Taoist temple between the mountains and forests of Hengshan Mountain, and did not forget to refine the poison while cultivating in it, and later he used the principle of the five elements of gossip to restrain each other, and developed a poison called "leaving the fire", but it was also destroyed because of this, it was rumored that this poison was the most powerful poison in the rivers and lakes, and they were robbed, and afterwards, everyone did not find Mo Wendao's body in the corpse of the dead disciple in the Taoist temple.
In the history of medicine, similar to the word Xinglin, "hanging pot" is also a special term for the practice of traditional Chinese medicine, and the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" and "The Legend of the Immortals" are related to the Taoist medicine pot gong. "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" volume 82 "Fangshu Liebiography" cloud: "Fei Changfang, a native of Runan, was once a city rafter. There is an old man in the city who sells medicine, hangs a pot in the head, and the city, jumps into the pot, and the people of the city do not see it. But the long room is seen upstairs, and it is different. Because of the goodbye, serve the preserved wine. Weng knew the meaning of the long house, and said: 'Zi Ming said that it can be more'. Changfang Dan said to repetition Weng, Weng Nai and all into the pot, but to see the jade hall is strict, the purpose of wine and sweet food, Yingyan in it, drink out of it. ...... After the long room wants to seek the Tao, the entourage is ...... in the mountains"
This rather magical account is also found in the "Legend of the Immortals" volume 9 "The Biography of the Pot Gong", which claims that "the name of the pot is unknown." In this world, all the more than 20 volumes of "Summoning the Army" and "Summoning Ghosts and Gods to Cure the General's Mansion" are all from the Hugong ...... "Hugong is an old man who sells medicine in the Eastern Han Dynasty, has Taoism, and is good at using the talisman to cure diseases." Because a pot is often hung to sell medicine in the market, "medicine is not two prices", "cure all diseases", so later generations called the practice of medicine "hanging pot".
In addition, there is an allusion in the history of traditional Chinese medicine "Tangerine Spring Fragrance" that is also related to Taoist medicine.
This allusion is about a Taoist named Su Tan in Huxiang in the Western Han Dynasty, who had unique skills and was extremely filial to his mother, and later became an immortal. Before becoming an immortal, he told his mother that there would be an epidemic next year, and that he could use the spring water in the well to soak orange leaves for treatment. In the second year, when a large-scale epidemic occurred, his mother followed the instructions and soaked orange leaves in the spring water in the well to save the villagers. This "Barrel Well Spring Incense" is exemplified in the "Legend of the Immortals" of the "Su Tan Biography", and the Qing Dynasty Fujian Chen Menglei's "Collection of Ancient and Modern Books" included it in the "Biography of Medical Celebrities", which is widely circulated.
The Suxian Temple, the Flying Stone, and the Deer Cave on the Suxian Ridge in the northeastern suburbs of the land of Shonan, as well as the Zhujing in the city's No. 1 Middle School, are all relics commemorating Suxian. The term "orange well spring fragrance" is the same as the above-mentioned "spring warmth of the apricot forest" and "hanging pot to help the world", and it is well-known in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. In the past, doctors often used the word "orange well" or orange and apricot to name medical books, such as "barrel well Yuanzhu", "orange apricot spring and autumn", etc., which have profound meanings.
