1. The life-saving elixir
Ye Pengfei has been chubby since he was a child and is loved by people. When it comes to learning to speak, his cleverness will be praised by anyone who sees him.
However, when I was over five years old, a sudden strange disease made the whole family anxious.
When other children get sick, they either vomit and diarrhea, have high fever, or they have nightmares and talk nonsense at night. Ye Pengfei is different. He eats well and sleeps well. He neither has fever nor has diarrhea, but he just sees people losing weight, and keeps losing weight.
In addition, a young boy who was originally lively and cute now doesn’t like to move. He even began to fear the sunshine, and whenever he saw the sunshine, he would complain about a headache.
Ye Pengfei's parents took him to ask all the famous doctors in the city, but none of them could tell what disease Ye Pengfei had, let alone prescribed the right medicine.
Ye Pengfei's grandfather in the countryside was a big landlord. He knew that his only grandson had a strange disease and could not be cured, so he was very anxious. In order to save his grandson, Mr. Ye sold all the real estate land except the ancestral house, and all the land was exchanged into gold, and planned to take Ye Pengfei into the capital for medical treatment.
However, just when Mr. Ye had just sold his real estate and had not yet entered the city, a Taoist priest came to the Ye family's ancestral house.
This Taoist priest looked young, in his thirties, with a long black beard. He was thin and tall, wearing a wide Taoist robe, and was empty, as if he could be swept away by the wind at any time.
When the Taoist priest saw Mr. Ye, he said, "Mr., I see that your face is dark. I'm afraid someone at home will suffer."
"Huh?" Old Master Ye looked at the Taoist priest in surprise, without answering the words.
The Taoist priest didn't care. He pretended to stretch out his right hand, calculated his fingers, and continued, "It's a little boy who has a strange disease, so it's hard to raise it."
When Mr. Ye saw the Taoist priest pinching his fingers, he was shocked: "You... are you a cultivator?"
"That's right." The Taoist priest nodded and replied, "I'm Danyang."
When Mr. Ye heard this, he was extremely happy. He had long heard that people who practice cultivation have the ability to understand the world. Even the current emperors should regard people who practice cultivation as national teachers and ask the national teachers to refine alchemy and make medicine to prolong their lives.
"I wonder what good way does Danyang Zhenren have?"
"It's time to judge when you see the child." Taoist Danyang stroked his beard gently and responded in a deep voice, looking like a master of Taoism.
As the saying goes, he is dying and seeking medical treatment. Old Master Ye doesn't care about distinguishing the authenticity of this Taoist priest. He hurriedly hired a big cart to take the Taoist priest Danyang to the city.
After seeing Ye Pengfei, the Taoist Danyang did not take the pulse like an ordinary doctor. He just took a few random glances and said, "This is a congenital deficiency and acquired disorder."
Because of Ye Pengfei's strange disease, Ye Pengfei's parents have consulted many famous doctors and know some medical principles. When they heard the Taoist priest say something inappropriate, they were a little suspicious: "Isn't it a liar?"
In the countryside, there are many such scammers who pretend to be a god. Ordinary people have no way to distinguish the authenticity of cultivators, and things that are deceived often happen.
So, Ye Pengfei's father Ye Xun said, "This child was born with nine pounds and three ounces, and he is strong. Now he eats well and sleeps well. How could he be congenital deficit or acquired disorder?"
When the Taoist Danyang saw Ye Xun’s reproach, he was not panicked. He laughed and said, “If you are born strong, you are born good innately. If you eat well, you are born strong in your acquired nature? The mysterious way of heaven is not something that ordinary people can understand.”
Ye Xun was a little angry and was about to make a few words. Old Master Ye quickly pulled it and interrupted, "Dare you dare to ask the real person, is there a way to save him?"
"What's the difficulty?" Taoist Danyang smiled, stretched out his right hand, and pressed on Ye Pengfei's head, "I'll come again in three days."
After saying that, Taoist Danyang did not stop for a long time and turned around and left. The three adults of the Ye family were looking at what was wrong with the child, but they did not notice that the Taoist Danyang, who was casting the spell, kept trembling, as if he had used force to overdo it.
Shortly after the Taoist Danyang left, Ye Pengfei shouted that he wanted to go to the toilet. After squatting into the toilet for more than half an hour, the filthy smell that was pulled out was hard to bear. When the person came out, he seemed to be more energetic and no longer afraid of the sunshine.
"It really works!"
Mr. Ye was overjoyed. Seeing that it was effective, Ye Xun no longer doubted the identity of Taoist Danyang. Instead, he began to worry whether Taoist Danyang would come back three days later.
After waiting for three days with a nervous mood, Taoist Danyang came as promised. He was wearing the Taoist robe three days ago, but it looked a little dirty.
But at this time, the three adults of the Ye family regarded the Danyang Taoist as an immortal who saved the suffering, so how could they even pay attention to these details? They welcomed the Danyang Taoist into the house, presented the best fragrant tea and pastries, and respectfully asked for the cure.
The Taoist Danyang stroked his beard and asked slowly: "I have three strategies: top, middle and lower, the worst, the worst, the most important strategy is to treat the symptoms, the middle and the root cause. The best strategy not only treats the root cause, but also can prolong life. Which strategy do you want to know?"
"The best strategy, the best strategy is of course the best!" Mr. Ye said hurriedly.
"Well, the best thing to do." Taoist Danyang seemed embarrassed at this time, "My master has left a magic pill, which can not only cure the root cause, but also prolong life. However, it is not easy to refine medicine, so this medicine must be kept to help even more dangerous people."
If it were in the past and pretended, the three adults of the Ye family would have heard the trick. However, the treatment effect three days ago was there, and the Ye family was the only one who was Ye Pengfei, so their hearts could no longer be calm.
Ye Xun, who was still suspicious three days ago, quickly said: "I dare to ask about the place where the real person's Taoism is. Every year, my Ye family will worship it on time."
When Taoist Danyang heard this, he laughed and said, "I traveled around the world and had no place to live. I have received your wishes. So, you can pay some medical treatment money, and I will give you this magic pill."
"This..." Ye Xun looked at his old father with some embarrassment. The Taoist Danyang didn't say a number, how should he give it to him?
Mr. Ye is older and more things to see. He made a quick decision and said, "A real person and great virtue, I, the Ye family, should give me my efforts to repay you."
After saying that, Old Master Ye went back to the inner room and came out with a sandalwood box. As soon as the box was opened, Taoist Danyang looked straight and his eyes were straightened - the box was full of gold, all of which were gold!
"This is two hundred taels of gold, please accept it with a smile. If the real person has any help in the future, my Ye family should do their best!"
Two hundred taels of gold can buy fertile land, but I didn’t expect that the Ye family is so rich. With this money, there will be no need to worry about the disease in the future. I don’t have to pretend to be a ghost or worry about making a living.
Taoist Danyang was filled with joy, but he had to pretend to shirk his face before he took the sandalwood box. Then, he solemnly took out a small box made of green jade.
When I opened it, I saw a pill sealed with thin red wax. The pill was very small, but as big as a broad bean. However, even if it was sealed by red wax, the smell of medicine that was thrilling at the nose was also refreshing. The joyful heart of the Ye family was hard to describe. With a relaxed and happy mood, the Ye family's confidence became more sufficient.
"This is made by my ancestor who has been exhausted for a lifetime and absorbed the essence of heaven and earth. It is actually a priceless treasure! I have a fate with this child, so I gave it to him. Let the grandson take it and live a long life and never get sick!"
"Thank you, thank you!" Old Master Ye took the Qingyu box with a trembling trembling, for fear of falling. This is the life of his only grandson.
Mr. Ye didn't know that the feeling of Taoist Danyang when he accepted the sandalwood box was actually not much different from that of himself...
After the Taoist Danyang left, Ye Xun immediately made a bowl of warm water and asked Ye Pengfei to take the pills. After taking it, Ye Pengfei did not sleep in the toilet for as long as three days ago, but he was sweating hotly. Then, he became more energetic when he saw the person.
After raising it for a few days, the thin little guy gradually became stronger and could jump around, grab his grandfather's beard, steal his father's tobacco, and hide his mother's big scissors. The whole family was happy and felt that the 200 taels of gold was really worth it.
However, I never thought that the good times would not last long. At the age of fifteen, Ye Pengfei suddenly fell ill again. Except that his body was not skinny and bone-thin, his condition was exactly the same as when he was five years old.
When he saw the sun, he would feel like he was about to die, but he had an indescribable desire for the harsh sun. This tormenting strange disease made Ye Pengfei feel in pain. But in order not to make his family members more anxious, the young man gritted his teeth and held on to death at all times, and never screamed "pain".
However, the pale face and the sweat that wet the clothes from time to time have already explained everything. The family members saw it and felt pain in their hearts, and they went out to look for famous doctors.
He deserves the unlucky Daoist of Danyang. He got two hundred taels of gold from the Ye family. He was happy and carefree in the capital of South China. He was hit by Mr. Ye who went to seek medical treatment.
"I'm sick again? Why is this happening..."
After hearing Mr. Ye's words, Taoist Danyang was a little panicked. Even the Yuanming Pill left by the master could not cure the strange disease. What should I do?
"Real person, isn't it saved?" Seeing the eyes of Taoist Danyang flashing, Old Master Ye couldn't help but burst into tears and almost kneeled down to Taoist Danyang.
The Ye family never doubted the Taoist Danyang. After all, the elixir given by them has been safeguarding their grandson for nearly ten years, which is much better than those famous doctors who can't even prescribe a prescription. Mr. Ye was just afraid that his grandson's illness would be difficult to find forever, and even the masters who have practiced the truth and achieved enlightenment could not solve it.
Looking at the old man with tears begging, and looking at his body that was gradually gaining weight due to wealth, Taoist Danyang couldn't help but sigh and said, "At this point, I can only see if the treasure of the sect of the sect can save him. If it doesn't work..."
"Not blamed the real person. Even if it is out of salvation, it will never blame the real person!" Old Master Ye said hurriedly.
What else can I do if I even take out the treasure of the sect? By the way, although secular families like the Ye family have some money, they will not have any intersection with those cultivators who have transformed into heaven and become immortals. It is a great joy for the Taoist Danyang to help again, so how dare you pray for more?
The old man immediately took out a silver note from his arms and said, "This is a thousand taels of silver note. When I go back, I will immediately bring 200 taels of gold to repay the real person!"
"This..." Seeing the silver notes handed over by the old man, Taoist Danyang was very moved. But when he thought that he was selling the last spiritual pill of the sect, a cloud of darkness appeared in his heart for no reason.
"I'll give this elixir to you. I'll make a good relationship, and I don't have any money." Taoist Danyang took out a jade box from his arms that was younger than that of the past and said solemnly, "This elixir is a bit domineering. You need to find a place of extreme yin to let Ling Sun take it. Remember!"
"What is the extreme yin place?"
"It may be the deep mountains and forests that have not seen the sun for thousands of years, or the ancient cemetery that has been stretched for thousands of years."
