Chapter 9 Inheriting the Dharma and Entering the Teacher's Door
Under Yuanzhen's serious injury, his body was temporarily unable to move, so he relied on aging and dispensing medicine under Yuanzhen's guidance to suffer and take care of him. A few days have passed, Chen Huaji's patience and humility, smart and meticulous, so that Yuan Zhen is happy in his eyes, although this stubborn little flower does not talk much, but there is a spirit between his eyebrows that is difficult to hide.
On this day, the ice and snow melt at the beginning of the day, and spring returns to the earth. The branches of the trees in front of the temple also softened and turned green. It's spring!
Chen Hua and brought the medicine out of the stove and served Yuan Zhen to drink. Just as he was about to retreat, he suddenly heard Yuan Zhen say: "Hua and Xiaoyou, I have been taking care of you for these days, and I have recovered most of my body." When Chen Hua heard this, he was happy in his heart and said: "Seeing that the Taoist complexion is getting better and better, in a few days, I will be able to walk like a fly." ”
"Hahaha...... "It's just that I don't have much medicine in this small temple, and if I want to be cured, I still need a few elixirs in the mountains." ”
"What kind of flavor is it? I'll pick it!" Chen Hua puffed out his chest.
Yuan Zhen saw that although Chen Hua and his shoulders were immature, he couldn't help but like it even more when he spoke, and said with a smile: "I didn't help your poisoned predecessor Li Wencheng, and he was seriously injured later." You could have just left, why did you stay here and take care of my sick old man?"
"I don't know the grievances between the Taoist chief and his predecessors. But before the senior's death, I dispensed medicine and needles to him, all of which were stolen from the Taoist, although I couldn't detoxify the seniors, you could be regarded as indirectly rescued. Besides, the Tao is long in me, and I have the grace to save my life, how can I repay virtue with resentment and see death without saving!"
"Although he is young, he is clear, and he is good. Yuan Zhen sighed, "It's a pity that the Heavenly Silkworm Sumire poison makes you lose your qi and veins, and you can't practice martial arts, otherwise it will be a good material." Hua and Xiaoyou, let me ask you, what is medicine?"
"When my father and mother were around, they often taught me that 'doctors are benevolent and compassionate'. Medicine is the art of saving people and the art of benevolence. "Aged and said.
Yuan Zhen said with a smile: "What a 'doctor is benevolent, compassionate'! Let me ask you again, if you are a doctor, what should you do?"
Chen Huaji has been doing some things to take medicine and decoction every day in the past few days, although it is a small matter, but he has unconsciously developed a strong interest in medicine, but he has never thought about what he should do if he is a doctor. Yuan Zhen asked, Chen Huahe couldn't help but be stunned: "If I am a doctor, I should be a doctor, and I should treat diseases and save people......"
Yuan Zhen continued: "Do you know that 'medical treatment is the disease, Chinese medicine heals people, and upper medicine heals the world'?"
Chen Huaji asked: "How can the world be treated?"
Yuan Zhen said with a smile: "The country will be overthrown, and the medicine will heal the country, which can protect the peace of all the people;
It is not difficult to understand that in ancient times, there were many great sages who had the talent to stabilize the country and save the country from peril, and it is even more common sense for doctors to hang pots to help the world and cure diseases and save people. But what Yuanzhen said about "healing gods and evil ghosts" made Chen Huahe puzzled, and asked: "The theory of gods and ghosts is nowhere to be found, how can it be cured?"
When Yuan Zhen heard this, he held the dust in his hand and smiled slightly: "The house is hot and cold, and the itching and pain in the human and animal bodies cannot be seen, let me ask you, do they exist?"
"This ......," Chen Hua and Dao, "exists." ”
"Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Yuan Zhen said, "So, Hua Xiaoyou, are you willing to be a doctor who heals the sick, heals people, and heals the world from now on?"
Chen Huahe heard Yuanzhen say this, and understood that Yuanzhen wanted to pass on his excellent medical skills, and his heart was overjoyed, so he knelt on his knees at the moment, respectfully kowtowed his head three times, and said loudly: "Master is above, Huahe will follow Master's teachings from now on, heal the sick, heal people, and heal the world!"
Seeing Chen Hua and this, Yuan Zhen couldn't hide his joy, and looked up to the sky and smiled: "Hahaha! I Yuan Zhen has lived most of my life, thinking that I would live in seclusion alone in this broken temple for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect to accept such a good apprentice as you, okay! You don't have to become a monk, I will accept you as a disciple of Taoism at home! May you benefit the world, promote the way of medicine, and revitalize the Xuanfeng from now on!"
After that, Yuan Zhen set up an altar to burn incense and play a watch, awarded the "Prestige of the Master", and officially accepted Chen Hua and became a disciple.
Since the death of his parents, Chen Huaji has been living on the streets, begging for food. From this fate, I came to this Yunmeng Mountain, worshiped under the Yuanzhen Gate, and a "Master" called out, and the small temple that leaked wind seemed to have the warmth of a house, and I couldn't help but burst into tears.
After the simple ceremony, Yuan Zhen took out a few books, such as "Tangtou Song Recipe", "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Pulse of the Lake", "Qianjin Fang", "Ancient Treatise on Typhoid Fever" and other basic classics of medical Taoism and handed them to Chen Huahe, and told him to study them. Chen Huahe was born in a scholarly family, and his reading and writing skills were excellent since he was a child. In the following days, in addition to going up the mountain to collect medicine and decoction medicine according to Yuanzhen's instructions, he carefully studied these classics every day.
Unconsciously, half a month has passed. Yuan Zhen watched his apprentices learn the way of medicine all day long, and he was very relieved that under the careful care of Chen Huaji, his injuries were finally healed. Chen Hua and talented people, Yuan Zhendan has a professor, he can learn almost immediately, and acupuncture and pulse cutting are also extremely accurate. It takes a year and a half for ordinary people to memorize the classics, age them and practice them day and night, and they are ripe and memorized in less than a month.
On this morning, the fog was clear and the birds were singing. Yuan Zhen took out a portrait of a scroll, hung it on the main hall, and asked Chen Hua to go to the statue and said: "Apprentice, this is my teacher, Min Yide is a real person, and he is called Lazy Yunzi." ”
Chen Hua and see that the painting is a thin old road, the fairy wind bones sit on the futon, and the portrait is inscribed with a verse: "The province is self-recovering and the province is provincial, and the real illusion holds both ends." Non-provincial, non-provincial, should be viewed as such. Chen Huaji could see that he was contemplating the enlightenment, and only heard Yuan Zhenlang say: "Kneel down and worship the ancestor!"
Aged and respectfully bowed. After getting up, Yuan Zhen said, "Do you know what it means to invite a portrait of the ancestor for the teacher?"
Chen Huaji said, "Please make it clear to Master." ”
Yuan Zhen said: "Min Zhenren has been weak since he was a child, and when he was nine years old, he was seriously ill and almost died. Fortunately, I met the unborn master of the East Fence Dao people and entered the door, and passed on the two volumes of the "Hidden Building Altar Sutra". The ancestor obtained the treasure, practiced the exercises every day, and was cured after three years. Based on this, study and practice diligently, and eventually become a generation of grandmasters!"
Chen Huaji said: "Master, the apprentice just wants to learn medical skills to cure diseases and save people. I'm afraid this effort ......."
Yuan Zhen didn't wait for Chen Hua to finish speaking, and interrupted him: "Although you have removed the poison of the silkworm suyme, but the qi veins are lost, you can't have a martial arts, but you have to keep your life and strengthen your body! Moreover, this "Yinlou Altar Sutra" has three volumes, and the first volume is "Sanni Medical World Theory", which takes the three doctors of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and collects Dandao mantras, and has the merit of heavenly medicine to help the world! Min Zhenren relies on the heart of a pure child and the talent of the heavens, exhausts his life's strength to continue to practice, and finally reaches the realm of pure and deep internal strength! The next volume is "Taishang Xinzong", and the legend is that if you combine the wonderful method of the first two volumes and practice with the third volume, you can really cultivate unhindered, and reach the realm of the gods and mysteries of the unity of heaven and man! It is a pity that the next volume disappeared a hundred years ago. There are only two volumes left, which are practiced in my door. Today, I will teach you these two volumes of secret treasures, and I hope you will carefully understand the contents of them, and those who are shallow can get their shallowness, and those who are deep can get their depth!"
Chen Hua respectfully took the "Hidden Building Altar Sutra" and thanked Yuanzhen.
Yuan Zhen said again: "Although this middle volume of 'Wu Yuan Reference' is a high-level internal strength method, you only need to practice the 'Wu Yuan Pile' every day. Keep the rest of the content in mind, and when the opportunity is ripe in the future, I will continue the Dharma lineage in my door!"
Chen Huaji knew that he could not practice martial arts, and he was afraid that this altar scripture would be precious and the Dharma lineage would be broken in his hands, so he hurriedly said: "Master, the disciple is ashamed, please take back the secret treasure and pass it on to those who can practice......
Yuan Zhen laughed and said: "Do you think that accepting apprentices is as simple as drinking tea? I have been looking for most of my life, and I have not only met you, a destined disciple. As fate would have it, you don't have to feel guilty or shirk!"
Chen Huahe heard Yuanzhen say this, so he had to accept the "Hidden Building Altar Sutra". I thought to myself, I must try my best to study and live up to the trust of my teacher!
