Chapter 137: Villains often behave in front of real people
If you want to see the old immortal, you must first see Ji Wang Li Shen. This has almost become a rule.
Nowadays, the old immortal no longer appears in Chang'an Tai Hospital easily. He is occasionally dragged by his disciples and disciples to see some strange diseases and judge the life and death of some people.
The main job of the old immortal has changed from treating diseases and saving people to writing medical books.
In the past, the medical books written by the old immortal were obscure, difficult to understand, and a bit unfathomable. After staying in Chang'an for a long time and coming into contact with a large number of patients, the contents of the medical books written by the old immortal became as long as you can read.
I understand the brochure.
Nowadays, the medical content that the old gods are vigorously promoting is drinking boiled water and washing hands before meals and after using the toilet.
There is quite a bit of returning to nature in it.
When Yun Chu entered Prince Ji's Mansion and saw the old immortal, he was teaching a group of doctors how to wash their hands.
"Wash your hands, remember to wash them under running water, and apply soap to all parts of your hands, including between your fingers and between your nails...: Palms facing each other, fingers close together, rub each other, palms against each other along the back of the fingers
Rubbing, exchange, palms facing each other, fingers interlocked and rubbing each other..."
The old god was very serious about simple things, but he also took the initiative to demonstrate to a group of doctors with long and short beards, and supervised them to wash their hands like him.
After the group of people learned to leave, Yun Chu handed the old god a towel, but the old god didn't take it. He took a piece of yellow linen that had obviously been steamed and sterilized from the side and wiped the water stains on his hands.
"What the bald donkeys say about one flower and one world, and one water and one world is true."
After the old immortal said these incomprehensible words, he sat on the wicker chair, leaned his back on the chair, raised his hand to take the hot tea handed over by Yun Chu and took a sip.
"Without a stable strong light source, the precision of the mirror cannot be achieved, and the microscopic world seen by the microscope given to you is actually very limited."
The old god sighed and said: "I have seen some. With these things, I can prove that what you said is well-founded. When the accuracy of the instrument is improved, I can see more.
The Taoist view of disease is "qi". We always feel that there are things in this world that we cannot see that affect our bodies and the world.
Through the telescope you gave me, I can truly see the real thing, and it also opens a new door for me. Even a poor old man will never be able to figure out the things inside this door..."
This was the first time that Yun Chu felt a trace of helplessness from this old man.
"Lao He and the others should be very willing to follow in your footsteps and continue their research."
The old god snorted and said: "The Lao He you are talking about is a bastard. He is a good person but he is good at wine, sex, wealth, and everything. The little bit of natural vitality in his body has long since collapsed. He is dead. Old Taoist
If they are not going to die, there is no need to talk about inheritance.
Send a son to Laodao."
The old god had no intention of discussing with Yun Chu, and Yun Chu had no intention of objecting. Anyway, he now has two sons, and no matter which one follows the old god, he will have a bright future.
"Do you prefer Ajin or Xiaoniao?"
The old god snorted and said: "I don't dare to ask for your son. A good child has been trained by you to be vicious and cruel. It is incompatible with the medical idea of saving lives and healing the wounded. Send the little bird here, I like this child."
"
Yun Chu smiled and said, "Okay, let him come over tomorrow morning."
Li Shen whispered to Sun Simiao on the side: "Xiao Yu'er is eleven years old this year..."
The old god shook his head and said: "You have been in poor health since you were a child. Although you have recovered 70% of your health later, God also gave you a little face and gave you a child. However, this child is born with some shortcomings just like you. It is the most difficult to study medicine.
Is it a waste of time and energy and for the sake of this child’s eternal life, it’s better not to study medicine.”
Li Shen had blind trust in the old god. Even if it was related to his son, Prince Ji's Mansion, he would listen to the old god and still smile even if he was rejected.
Yun Chu said: "Is Xiaoniao the only disciple who enters the house?"
"Disciple—"
"Oh, is the little bird the only one who invades the house?"
Sun Simiao looked up at Yun Chu and sneered: "There are still seventeen Taoist boys."
Yun Chu nodded, this seemed like the behavior of the old god. Almost all doctors in the world were his disciples, and the sectarianism was a big joke to him.
These seventeen Taoist boys, plus Yun Luan, should be the inheritors of the old immortal's new discipline, and also his new plan to preach to the world.
However, when he preached to the world, he was not preaching to Taoists, but to doctors.
Yunchu knew that the old immortal had always wanted to find a long-term inheritance path for Taoism that would not be suspected by the rulers, was inseparable, and needed strong support.
It was obvious that he had found what he wanted to do, which was to firmly tie the medical profession to Taoism, and eventually start with the medical profession to develop more professions with the same principles.
Taoist knowledge has actually been a study of people from the earliest days. Whether it is Fuxi's Bagua or Tai Chi, they are closely related to people themselves. In other words, the original goal of Taoist knowledge is to serve people, but later they
I feel that the narrative method of yin and yang of heaven and earth is relatively grand. In addition, people have strong curiosity about immortality, death, and the alternation of prosperity and decline in the human world. Therefore, mysticism occupies a huge space in Taoist knowledge.
"In this Louguantai debate, what kind of knowledge is Taoist Master planning to use as a breakthrough point?"
Although Yunchu had vaguely guessed it, he still asked the old god.
Sun Simiao pondered for a moment and said: "In the past, we talked about the yin and yang of the heaven and the earth, and the vastness of the universe. Now we talk about a drop of water, a flower, a leaf, and the small world that is invisible to the naked eye."
Although the doubts in his mind were solved, Yun Chu still reminded carefully: "The monks have discussed the microscopic world in detail, and the theoretical content is very rich."
Sun Simiao rolled his eyes at Yunchu and said: ""Take Sumeru from Mustard Seeds" comes from "Vimalakīrti Sutra: Unthinkable Products". Sumeru is the legendary mountain, and mustard seeds are tiny grass seeds. The meaning of this sentence is
It is said that the mountains are included in the grass seeds. It shows the Buddhist idea that all things are empty.
"One flower, one world" means that one flower contains the essence of the entire world. This concept originates from the Buddhist classic "Huayan Sutra". Zen believes that "one flower, one world, one tree, one Bodhi" emphasizes a state.
.
I hope people should seize the moment and realize the mystery of the universe and the true meaning of life from a flower or a tree. A real eminent monk can understand the vastness of life and even the universe from the small things around him and the details.
You are Xuanzang’s son, how come you don’t even know these things?”
Yun Chu turned a deaf ear to the old god's teasing words and continued: "You know, Buddhism is still a matter of opinion. People see that Taoist masters have brought out the microscopic world. If they insist on incorporating those principles, Taoism will lose
Got the chance."
Sun Simiao's eyes began to turn cold when he looked at Yun Chu. Even though Yun Chu had cultivated his heart for a long time, he was still a little uneasy when facing the old god's scrutinizing gaze. He didn't know what he said wrong.
"Do you only see victory or defeat?" Sun Simiao asked.
Yun Chu said: "If the Taoist school fails again in Louguantai Debate, the consequences will be serious."
Sun Simiao said angrily: "How serious can it be? Is it so important to open the eyes of the world and let the world understand the microscopic world? What is correct is correct, even if it is misunderstood for a while, when the microscopic world is known to the world, studied, and discovered
, do you still think winning or losing is important?
Furthermore, if I want to say that the old way has failed, I’ll say it again after a thousand years!”
Yun Chu was so obedient that he didn't dare to speak anymore. He found that the veins in Lao Dao's hands grasping the armrests of the chair were bulging, and it looked like he wanted to slap him in the face.
He didn't know since when he was no longer welcome by the old god. Every time he met, he would be disliked and scolded by the old god, and the eyes he looked back at him were full of hatred that iron could not turn into steel.
Yunchu planned to take a good look at it when he went back, and he had to find the crux of the problem.
"The disciples discovered in Master Xuanzang a change in prosperity that was different from the past."
Although he was not welcomed by the old god, Yunchu still quickly asked the question he wanted to hear.
"Xuan Zang is dead, and the one who lives now is a skin named Xuanzang. Since it is a skin, there is less suffering in the world. Xuanzang has been cultivating himself for many years, pursuing inner peace and wisdom, so as to transcend the limitations of life and death.
.
Now, he has reached it, his soul has gone to the Pure Land of the West, and his body has stayed behind to comfort you, aren't you happy for him?"
"In this way, it counts as immortality, right?"
"A broken bag is just a broken bag. Even if it is mended, it is just a broken bag. It will eventually decay one day. In addition, the immortality that a true wise man seeks is intellectual immortality, not physical immortality. As long as someone seeks physical immortality,
That’s going too far.”
After being scolded by the old immortal, Yun Chu left the monastery where the old immortal lived with satisfaction and with Prince Ji Li Shen.
After leaving the courtyard, Yun Chu couldn't help but stretch. He was really tired from the constant bending motion at the old god's place just now.
"The more Master Xuanzang lives, the more he looks like a Buddha; the old immortals live more like a human being."
Li Shen, the most famous sculptor in the Tang Dynasty, could still say many reasonable words while looking up at the sky with his hands behind his back, and he behaved like an outsider.
It seems that his carving skills have reached the level of a master, otherwise, this kind of demeanor would not be possible in him.
Following Yun Chu's cold words, the superior demeanor Li Shen showed just now disappeared immediately. He pulled Yun Chu's sleeve in fear and said, "Will he do it again in Chang'an?"
Yun Chu smiled and said: "He is going to Jiucheng Palace to recuperate his health. It is estimated that he will not make any big moves for a long time. As long as you hold on until the prince ascends the throne safely, you will be safe for the rest of your life."
Hearing what Yun Chu said, Li Shen's yellow face gradually turned pale. He crossed his legs and said to Yun Chu, "I'm going to change my clothes."
Yun Chu looked at the unexplainable water stains on the ground and sighed, "Isn't it more than that?"
Li Shen never knew what shame was in front of Yun Chu. While shaking his wet robe, he explained: "I know what happened in Luoyang. I have been scared in my heart. You just said that the emperor is going to Jiucheng Palace to recuperate. No harm.
Chang'an, this anger has come out safely. Instead of holding it in, it is better to release it happily.
You won’t tell anyone else anyway, right?”
Yunchu promised not to tell others.
Li Shen quickly changed his clothes and left with Yun Chu.
Looking at Li Shen who still smelled, Yun Chu frowned and said, "Take a good bath, it smells."
Li Shen said nonchalantly: "I want to tell others the good news as soon as possible so as not to hold them back."
