Chapter 693 Daoist doctors have many disasters
After Liu Laodao got rid of evil spirits in the Liu Mansion, Mr. Liu gave him dozens of taels of silver as a gift.
However, as soon as he got the money, he just redeemed the copper chime from the tavern and bought some rice and noodles to put in the temple.
So he took the remaining money and went gambling again, and within a few days he lost everything.
Having no choice, he pawned Daoguan's new shoes again.
Although Xu Xian has refined some Bigu Pills in the past few days.
But the old Taoist likes to eat wine and meat. Even if he takes Bigu Pill, it will not stop him from buying wine and meat.
On the other hand, Qingfeng and the others helped Xu Xian and let him refine the elixir. They could rely on the Bigu Pill to satisfy their hunger, and there was no need to buy rice or noodles.
More than a month passed in a hurry. After Lingqing took a few people to have morning classes, he began to talk to Xu Xian about medical principles.
Although he did not study medicine exclusively, he brought back many medical classics from the Warring States period.
I have seen a lot of modern medical concepts, but it was more than enough to teach Xu Xian.
“Treating diseases is like spiritual practice, which pays attention to the balance of yin and yang. Preparing medicine is like refining elixirs, with monarchs and ministers assisting.
Everything that is born has its own thing to overcome it, and at the same time, every thing that is born has its own thing to form it. This principle of birth and restraint is complete.
If you want to treat people's diseases, you should know the yin, yang and five elements of qi in their bodies, and then if they are too much, they will damage them, and if they are too little, they will be replenished.
This is to avoid damaging personal treasures.
However, some conditions are serious and critical, and there is no time to treat them slowly.
Over there, the lesions need to be directly removed. Although it will leave the person with physical defects, ordinary people will not seek the road, so it doesn't matter.
After all, it saves someone’s life.”
"Taoist Priest, if I use my own magic power and the elixirs I concocted to save people, wouldn't I be able to eliminate the lesions?
This way there is no need to harm anyone's body." Xu Xian asked.
"If you have the Tao, you will learn Taoism but not medicine. Taoism and medicine will lead to many disasters.
Once a practitioner learns medicine, if he stays in the world of mortals for a long time, he will have delusional thoughts when facing many sufferings.
He wanted to rely on his own ethics and superb medical skills to change his destiny.
However, the more it goes like this, the deeper the calamity will be, until one day the body and death caused by the calamity will disappear, but there will still be people in the world suffering from illness."
"How can the Taoist priest be willing to teach me Taoism and not stop me from studying medicine?"
"In fact, people who study Taoism, whether they take the initiative to study medicine or not, must understand some medical principles as they practice more deeply.
But most Taoists still use talisman water or elixirs to treat diseases, rather than medical stones. Do you know why?"
"I don't know."
"People from far away, the Fu Shui elixir can only be obtained by asking for it.
The spirit is sincerity; the inefficiency means that the heart is dishonest and cannot blame others.
When it comes to medicinal stones for medical purposes, they are close friends and business.
If you cure it, you will get money, but if you fail to cure it, people will come to you to settle accounts.
The Tao is priceless, and if it is sold as medicine, it will be sold at a low price.
Therefore, although I will not stop you from practicing medicine and saving people, I will give you a warning."
"Taoist Master, please speak."
"If you encounter a disaster, you can use Taoist methods to eliminate disasters and overcome them, and your merits will last forever.
However, common illnesses require medical treatment. If medicines and stones can cure them, then they can be cured. You cannot and should not force it.
You must not practice Taoism as a doctor and waste your Taoism in vain."
"Yes, I remember." Although Xu Xian didn't understand for a moment, he also knew that Ling Qing was doing it for his own good, so he answered with his hand.
"I hope you can remember it in your heart. I don't ask you to do it without slacking off, but I hope you don't regret it until you die."
Ling Qing flicked the fly whisk and said: "Now you have entered the practice, and you have become proficient in the alchemy method.
Just go and do your thing.
If you have any questions in the future, you can come and ask me."
"Yes, I'll take my leave now." Xu Xian bowed and left.
I came to the alchemy room and started packing my things.
"Mr. Xu, what are you doing?" Qingfeng asked upon seeing this.
"Now that I have learned almost enough, the Taoist Master has asked me to practice on my own in the future." Xu Xian replied.
"Are you leaving?" Upon hearing this, the other three people gathered around and asked.
“My home is not far away from the Qianwang Temple, and I come to watch it every morning and evening.
Just because you don't stay in the temple all the time, it doesn't count as leaving." Seeing how many people were reluctant to leave, Xu Xian comforted them with gentle words.
Qingfeng's families are all nearby, and he knows them all. These days have helped him a lot, so he is quite close to them.
He took several bottles of elixirs from the medicine cabinet in his arms, including Bigu Pills, Qingxin Pills, Peiyuan Pills, and Qi-Nourishing Pills.
He handed it to Qingfeng and said: "I refined these elixirs, you can take them.
Study more with the Taoist priest, and I hope you can achieve success in your practice in the future."
"We will study hard." Qingfeng nodded.
In fact, they have also learned the Eight Divine Mantras during these days.
When reciting the mantra, it can also induce some Taoist rhyme and show some magic.
The three mantras of purifying the heart, purifying the mouth, and purifying the body made several people feel much lighter physically and mentally.
The Golden Light Mantra and the Heaven and Earth Purifying Mantra can bring light to the heart and purify the world.
The incense mantra and the earth god mantra can communicate with the earth spirits and gods.
The Xuan Yun Mantra can help them understand the meaning of the scriptures during morning lessons.
Compared to a month ago, the four Taoist boys now really felt like immortal boys in the mountains.
After Xu Xian left, the temple became much purer. Lingqing chanted sutras and practiced exercises every day, and taught a few children lessons.
In my spare time, I also walked around the West Lake to see if I could meet Bai Suzhen.
However, I have visited all over the West Lake, but I have never seen it.
On this day, Liu Laodao made some money and went out to gamble again.
Lingqing was offering incense in the Sanqing Hall. When he heard something moving outside, he asked Qingfeng to go take a look.
After a while he brought in an old gentleman who looked like a butler.
As the old gentleman walked away, he said anxiously: "Little Fairy Boy, where is your master?
But go and invite him quickly.
My old lady is very ill, and my mistress asked me to invite Master Liu Xian, but I won’t be able to explain if she doesn’t come back.”
"I don't know where Master has gone today, I have sent several junior brothers to look for him.
Old sir, please wait patiently." Qingfeng saw how anxious he was and patiently advised him.
"I wonder who this Taoist Master is, Liu Xianshi? Can he see a doctor?" The old gentleman looked up and saw Ling Qing in the main hall, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Why don't Taoist Master follow me to the mansion for a look first, and then go and have a look when Master Liu Xian comes."
"This..." Qingfeng looked at Lingqing hesitantly.
He knew that Ling Qing was capable, but he also knew that Ling Qing liked purity and did not want trouble.
"I wonder what disease your old lady has?" Lingqing asked.
"My old lady suddenly fell ill because my little master was seriously ill, and she felt sorry for her grandson. She even invited many gentlemen, but none of them got better.
My master, Zhao Wenhui, is the most filial mother. When he saw that the old lady was seriously ill, he immediately asked someone to hire a smart doctor.
And my mistress heard about Master Liu Xian’s name and specially ordered me to come and invite Master Liu.
I see that the Taoist Priest has an extraordinary appearance, and I dare to ask if he can see a doctor?" the old gentleman said.
"Although Pindao is not well versed in medical science, he is used to asking for talismanic water to drive away evil spirits and ward off diseases. If you don't mind, Pindao can go and have a look." Lingqing's heart suddenly moved and he said.
"Okay, okay, my master also believes in Buddhism and Taoism. If the Taoist priest really has a magic talisman, he will definitely be able to cure my old lady." After that, the old gentleman took Lingqing away.
