At night, there was still a sudden storm, but there was something different. Lightning struck from time to time in the heavy rain, accompanied by rumbling thunder. Whenever lightning struck, the entire Lingshou Taoist Temple and the surrounding water in the town turned pale.
A piece of it!
"It's so scary!" Chen Guan was no longer sleepy, so he simply got up and lit a tung oil lamp to read the Taoist scripture "Lingbao Sutra".
"Bang..." Several continuous thunderstorms mixed with lightning fell outside, with a terrifying force. Chen Guan accidentally raised his head and found a huge bird in the sky not far away, struggling to fly in the rain.
On a thunderstorm night with heavy rain, it is very strange to see a big bird flying at night.
After the lightning outside, it was pitch black again. He was very surprised: "I wonder if it is the giant bird he saw in the afternoon? What are you doing here to watch Lingshou?"
He hurriedly walked out of the room, and when lightning appeared, his idea was indeed confirmed. In the sky one or two hundred meters above, it was the giant bird flying in the rain, but it was flying much lower than in the afternoon.
This giant bird is almost pure white. Its wings are at least seven or eight meters wide. There are black feathers in the middle of the wings. You can also see that its throat and neck are black. Its beak is long and pointed, and its neck is curved.
, the legs are thick and long and are slanted back together, and the exposed toes and claws are very hard and sharp, and are black and gray.
"This is a crane!" Chen Guan was shocked: "But...where in the world have I seen such a big crane?" Ordinary people in the town would have been frightened and overwhelmed, but Chen Guan was familiar with Taoist classics.
, rare and exotic beasts are often seen in Taoist scriptures. I know that such a big crane must have spirituality, so I am not very afraid. I just don’t know why it comes?
He saw that the crane was now flying far less freely than during the day. Under the dazzling white light of lightning, he saw that the crane's long beak was dripping with bright red blood, and it was a ferocious red color, connected by silk threads.
"It turns out it's injured!" Chen Guan understood.
The crane more than a hundred meters away didn't even make a cry, but its flight became more and more shaky and uneven, and it was about to collapse. Finally, it seemed that it couldn't hold on, and there was a "crash" from its back, and a ball of stuff fell from its back.
Chen Guan was shocked when he saw it at the gate of Lingshou Guan. The ball fell very fast. In less than half a minute, it fell into the pool in front of Lingshou Guan with a "bang".
"That's a person!" Chen Guan identified the thing when it was still more than ten meters above the ground, and hurriedly ran to the pond of more than 20 square meters. He knew that this pond was usually used to store water for washing clothes and was the deepest.
The area is only about one meter, so no one can drown.
The crane above its head seemed to glance down, and now its vermilion bare head was exposed. After removing the rider from its back, it seemed to lighten its burden. It flapped its wings, flapped several times, and suddenly let out a sound.
It chirped loudly but somewhat painfully: "Hiccup..." and then flew away directly to the northeast.
Chen Guan ignored the huge injured red-crowned crane above his head and flew away. He just looked at the person who fell into the water. However, he saw that the person was motionless after falling, without any struggle. He actually had a tendency to sink into the water!
"No! Although the water is not deep, this person will not drown if he stands up, but if the person is unconscious, he will drown in an instant!" Chen Guan thought quickly: "It doesn't matter whether he is a dead person, a living person, or a mysterious person, he said
The Dharma helps the world, I can’t just ignore it!”
So he jumped into the pond, took a few steps over, and picked up the fallen man. He felt that the man's body was limp, but still had body temperature, so he was obviously not dead yet. He quickly picked him up from the head.
When the man was picked up, he was very light and about 1.4 meters tall. Looking at his face, his hair was pulled over his shoulders, and his face was pretty. She was just an eleven or twelve-year-old girl.
Chen Guan quickly landed ashore, thinking that this was a beautiful little girl who was so mysterious. If she fell from such a strange red-crowned crane in the middle of the night during a thunderstorm, she would be lucky if she survived the disaster!
At this time, something was fluttering in the rainy day and slowly landed in Chen Guan's arms. It was a wing feather that was almost one meter long. It was a white bone and black feather. It had obviously fallen off the red-crowned crane just now!
"Such long feathers! I have never seen them before, not even in the mountains!" Chen Guan had no time to sigh. He touched the aorta on the little girl's neck and felt a slight beating. There was also a slightly black color on the corners of the little girl's mouth.
The blood on his face was obviously not just a concussion injury from the fall, but he was also injured like the red-crowned crane before.
Chen Guan didn't care that he and the little girl were covered in water. He hurriedly carried the little girl into the temple, pulled his mat off the bed, spread it in front of the Taoist elephant enshrined in the main hall of the Taoist temple, and put down the little girl and the long feathers.
, I went to make ginger soup and herbal medicine.
He was born in a Taoist temple and has become proficient in Qihuang in the past twenty years. Naturally, he would not try to wake up the little girl by pinching her in the middle of her body, because if the little girl was in a coma or having a heat stroke, pinching her in the middle would be more effective. But the little girl was obviously
It's useless if you're injured and fainted.
Chen Guan stayed up all night. After feeding the woman two bowls of ginger soup and a bowl of detoxifying golden hairpin, he stayed by her side. The golden hairpin is dandelion, which has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying.
At dawn the next day, Chen Guan was in a daze and heard the sound of "boom, boom, boom..." coming from the woman's stomach. He knew that the woman was about to wake up, so he quickly opened his eyes.
As the saying goes, people have three urgent needs. Even if there is a dream about excrement and urine, they will wake up. Chen Guan fed the woman several bowls of ginger soup and herbal medicine, one third of which was to treat injuries, one third to ward off the cold and fill her body with warmth, and the other three.
The intention was to wake up the sleeping woman, and now the goal was indeed achieved.
Chen Guan looked over and saw that the woman had woken up, her face was pale, and her big eyes were just looking at Chen Guan. She was not afraid or grateful, she just looked at Chen Guan lightly, with a composure that did not match her age.
.
It was a hot summer night, and the clothes on her body were almost completely dry. There were broken marks on the clothes on her chest, which were vaguely the marks of a palm. It was obvious that she was injured after being stamped with a palm.
"Don't be afraid!" Chen Guan said hurriedly: "I'm not a bad person, I was the one who brought you into the house last night!"
He didn't want to explain at first, but the woman was very pitiful, so he added one more thing.
After he finished speaking, he found that the woman had no reaction at all, as if she hadn't listened to a word or didn't understand what he meant at all.
Chen Guan sighed, gestured slightly, pointed to the pond outside, then pretended to be holding the woman and put her on the ground. Then he pointed to the feather next to the woman.
The woman was still expressionless, as if she really didn't understand what Chen Guan was saying. However, when she followed Chen Guan's gesture and saw the feather, her face changed slightly, her eyes became soft, and she reached out to take the feather.
, put it on yourself.
It seemed that the red-crowned crane from last night had a long-standing relationship with her. The red-crowned crane couldn't hold on any longer. It was injured and flew over here, so it had to fall down and put her down.
She seemed to remember something again, and she quickly touched her waist. Chen Guanzao found something wrapped in oil paper around her waist, but she hadn't touched it, so she didn't know what was inside.
When the woman touched this object, she immediately smiled. This smile was very beautiful.
"You may have suffered internal injuries. I am proficient in medical skills and will let you take a look!" Chen Guan looked at the woman's eyes and saw that her face twitched a few times. It was obvious that she was very uncomfortable. He said softly, and then paused for a moment before speaking.
He reached out to feel the pulse of the woman's left hand. Although he had no Taoist skills and seemed to have a calm and plain personality, he was born with a hidden heart of Taoist skills to help the world.
The woman was weak and understood that Chen Guan had no evil intentions, so she allowed Chen Guan to take a pulse.
At this, Chen Guan couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. The woman's three yin meridians were all like water and drifting wood, all ups and downs were blocked. There were only intermittent beatings like running beads, and most of the meridians were blocked. I was afraid that the meridians were full of
Blood congestion, starting from the "Tanzhong point" on the chest, is blocked in all directions.
"The meridians are all blocked, the blood vessels are blocked, and the internal injuries are serious. If it is not unblocked, your life is in danger!" He was a little surprised and regretful, but his expression remained unchanged and said: "But it doesn't matter, the injuries will be recuperated, and they will definitely be fine!"
However, he remained silent after he finished speaking, and the woman couldn't understand what he was talking about anyway.
"It's a pity that this woman descended from heaven into the ancient temple, only to be seriously injured and ready to die!" Chen Guan smiled bitterly in his heart.
When he stood up and was about to leave, his sleeve was suddenly grabbed by the woman. The woman slowly sat up, looking haggard and lifeless. She only looked at Chen Guan's eyes, first pointed at Chen Guan's mouth, and then pointed at her ears.
Finally shook his head.
"Oh, she really can't understand what I'm saying! I wonder if she is deaf or mute?" Chen Guan thought in his mind.
The woman felt her pulse again and pointed at her heart, with a look of pain on her face. Then she returned to normal, pointed at Chen Guan, shook her head again, and finally pointed at her forehead and nodded.
Chen Guan also understood that the woman meant that Chen Guan did not need to take care of her own injuries and would handle them himself.
"Is it possible that she is a miracle doctor at such a young age?" Although Chen Guan was confused, he couldn't ask anything. He gestured and pointed out that the toilet was in a small hut outside the hall on the right.
Got up and went to cook.
In less than an hour, Chen Guan brought out two bowls of fragrant rice and a large plate of sweet potato leaves fried in rapeseed oil. However, he saw the woman sitting cross-legged on the straw mat. Her right hand was spread out in the air at her pubic area, while her left hand was curled up with her ring finger.
Come down, press the ring fingernail with your thumb, and at the same time, bend your index finger down and press it against the tiger's den at Laogong, and the remaining middle finger and little finger are pointed upward.
This action is a bit awkward and difficult. It is obviously a Taoist secret. Most people would not do it like this. Chen Guan has read it in Taoist scriptures and medical books and knows that the root of the middle finger is the dragon's lair. In this way, the dragon's lair looks up to the sky and the tiger's lair is exposed.
The lower part touches the ground. Although I can't understand it, I guess it's the woman doing her own exercises to gather energy after going to the toilet.
This woman seemed to have great respect for the Dharma image enshrined in the ancient temple. She did not dare to face the Dharma image, so she moved two feet sideways.
"Could it be that this woman is young, but she is a cultivator!" Chen Guan did not dare to disturb her, but just as he was thinking, he saw her open her eyes, and when she saw the food he was carrying, she smiled and was very happy. After all,
