Chapter 5 The fate of the world is broken, the cycle of life and death
In the twenty-fifth year of Dachu Tianyou, a major event happened that shocked the world.
The first large-scale medical classic in the history of the Kyushu world, "Qingyi Ji", has finally been compiled and published nationwide!
This set of books is divided into three volumes. The first volume talks about medical science, the middle volume contains the identification and medicinal value of thousands of animals, plants and minerals, and the second volume contains a large number of carefully selected diagnosis and treatment records.
These three volumes covered almost all the common medical knowledge in Kyushu at that time. They not only included conventional medical skills, but also explained in detail the barbarian witchcraft and Miao people's voodoo skills. Finally, they also included extremely detailed health-preserving information.
Experience... at least for the Kyushu realm at that time, it was almost perfect.
Even a person who has no foundation in medical skills can still make some simple diagnosis and treatment based on these three volumes; and for those doctors who have been practicing medicine for many years, this set of "The Story of Qing Yi" is an incomparable treasure trove.
!
It not only corrects many common medical errors, but also provides detailed descriptions and explanations of various errors that ordinary doctors may make. An experienced doctor can improve his medical skills a lot by studying this book.
More importantly, misdiagnosis can be effectively avoided!
Misdiagnosis is what doctors fear most. Human lives are at stake. However, they cannot actually disembowel the patient to see what the patient's disease is. They can only judge based on various symptoms, so misdiagnosis inevitably occurs from time to time.
When treating a disease, once there is a misdiagnosis, at least it will delay the treatment, turning a minor illness into a serious one; at worst, it will delay the life of a patient who could have survived. Whether it is based on personal conscience or the safety of the doctor himself
Think about it, this kind of situation can be avoided if possible, and it is best never to happen.
Medical doctors can't cure diseases. If they prescribe the right medicine but fail to cure it, there is nothing they can do about it. However, misdiagnosis is a quack that harms people, and they are very likely to be hacked to death by the angry family members of the patients. Many places in the world have strong folk customs.
This kind of thing happens often.
Therefore, "The Story of Tsing Yi" is not only of great benefit to patients, but also to doctors. It is truly a work of great benefit to the people!
At this time, droughts in the world have become quite obvious. Naturally, more people are sick than usual in years of great disasters, so the demand for doctors and medical books is naturally much greater than usual. Only a few months after it was published, this medical book has already spread all over the world.
, and it is regarded as a classic by doctors all over the world, giving it another name "Wu's Medical Canon".
However, all this has nothing to do with the old man who spent all his efforts in compiling medical classics in his later years.
In the spring of the 26th year of Dachu Tianyou, the weather in Zhaoyang County was still very cold. The breath of winter had not yet dissipated. The ground was still withered and yellow. Only the new buds on the branches by the river showed a trace of life.
breath.
On the tombstone in front of the tomb of Marquis Wu, in addition to the words "Xian Kao" on the left side, there is also the word "Xian Kao" on the right side.
The hard work and prosperity of this old man's life, as well as his great achievements, are all recorded on the inscription on the back of the tombstone. On the front of the tombstone, Wu Jie wrote it very simply and clearly.
Looking from the front of the tombstone, you can't see the marquis and the immortal, you can't see the fame and reputation, you can only see the two sons of ordinary people mourning their parents.
Wu Cheng and Wu Jie, dressed in filial piety, were kneeling in front of them, with Wu Cheng's two sons and a daughter behind them. There was no such thing as "when a daughter marries, she belongs to another family..." in the Jiuzhou world, Wu Jie quite agreed with this point.
Next to Wu Cheng and Wu Jie, the two grandsons of the Wu family were burning paper. However, unlike other families, they were not burning paper money, but scrolls. This was the third batch of printed "Qing Yi Ji". Brother Wu Jie felt that
, compared to meaningless paper money, burning a few copies of this book to my father should be more able to soothe his spirit in heaven.
Stepping back a little, hundreds of students from Jishi Medical Center neatly held the medical books compiled by the old man and read them aloud in unison.
"My father never liked hearing people cry in his life. What he liked most was to sit in the study and listen to the sound of reading coming from the lecture hall... just use the sound of reading to send him away."
Wu Jie said this and arranged it this way.
After his father's funeral, he did not take off his mourning clothes, but once again lived in the thatched cottage next to the cemetery and began to observe mourning.
There is a folk tradition of observing mourning for three years after the death of parents. However, Wu Cheng was busy with official duties and was too old to stay in a house to guard the tomb, so Wu Jie took the initiative to take on this responsibility.
For him, observing filial piety for three years is not only a way to repay his parents for their upbringing, but also a part of his spiritual practice.
Cultivation is also about being a good person. A decent monk must first be a good person.
After the simple but solemn funeral, everyone dispersed, and it was getting late. Wu Jie, dressed in white mourning clothes, stood outside the thatched cottage, looking at the mausoleum where his parents were buried together, and all kinds of memories came to his mind.
The panic and uneasiness when you were born, the worries and silence of the time travellers, studying hard as a boy, determined to seek immortality after meeting the monks, going home to visit relatives again and again after successful cultivation, the home life in the past ten years... every paragraph
In my memories, there are the faces of my parents, and their care and concern, just like spring rain moistening things silently, and like the warm sunshine in winter making people feel comfortable from the bottom of my heart.
Unconsciously, the figures of the two elders gradually blurred and overlapped with the other two figures far away in the memory.
Wu Jie feels that he is very happy. He has been born in two lifetimes and his parents are very loving. Having such good parents can be described as a lucky life.
But he couldn't laugh, instead, deep sadness filled his heart.
His parents are finally gone, and even if he wants to continue to be filial, he can no longer do it. Although he has done a lot over the years, looking back, he feels that he has not done enough, far from enough! Who can say?
Grass heart, repay three spring rays? Unknowingly, tears fell down. "Master, if you want to repay, I can use the cycle of life and death in the world of the Book of Heaven to help the two elders reincarnate into two spiritual grasses. There is no need to worry about natural disasters and man-made disasters.
, they will definitely be able to grow well, and it will be no problem to cultivate into spirits in the end." Jasmine in the Heavenly Book World suddenly said, "When the two elders passed away, I had already absorbed their souls into the Heavenly Book World, and they can cast spells at any time.
"o
Wu Jie was immediately overjoyed. Just as he was about to agree, he suddenly frowned and felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart.
He had been seeing the ghosts for many years, and his soul had gradually solidified, and he was slowly able to perceive the elusive "destiny." When he was about to answer, there was a throbbing in his heart, as if once he agreed to Jasmine's suggestion, he would
It seems like something bad is happening.
Therefore, his words of promise were muffled in his mouth and could not be spoken.
After a while, he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and asked: "Is this okay?"
"What's wrong?" Jasmine said with a smile, "Just do whatever you want. Only when you follow your heart can your thoughts be clear. This is the supreme road."
"Not good." Du Xin's calm voice was like calm water, "There is cause and effect, there is gathering and separation, and there is life and death. Since the law of destiny has been created, it will end sooner or later. I have never heard that
In the world, fate is always there, but I’ve only heard of people who forcefully force themselves to death... Do you want to be that kind of person?"
"Lao San, what do you think?"
"When I died, my father was very sad; when my father died, I was also very sad." Du Ruo sighed, looking a little sad, "But whether it is my father or I, we both know that life and death are the normal conditions of human beings.
Everyone is born and will die, and no one in this world can live forever. Take good care of the living and remember the dead, that is enough."
"But now I can take care of the second elder..."
"It's just reincarnation. What's the difference between it and the cycle of life and death?"
"At least they can live a long life in the next life, and they can also achieve immortality..."
"Are they still them in the next life?"
"Probably still."
"Fourth brother, let me ask a question." Du Ruo smiled, "Are you the Supreme God?"
Wu Jie was stunned and couldn't speak for a long time.
This time he was silent for a longer time, and finally whispered: "Let their souls sleep in the spirit tree first. I'll think about it, think about it..." So he began to think about this problem. This time he really
During "Think About It", except when he had something to do, he spent the rest of his time thinking about this problem. Most of the time, he sat on the bamboo bed in the thatched hut, meditating in silence.
From spring to summer, the weather gradually got hotter, and then from summer to autumn, the weather gradually cooled down again. When the first snow fell this winter, Wu Jie finally figured out this problem.
"Send the two elders to reincarnation." His voice was low but firm, "My parents raised me when I was a child, and I will support them when they are old; when I was not born, they longed for my arrival, and after they passed away, I missed them...
…This fate has reached its end, and it’s time to end.”
"If they succeed in cultivation in the future, they will actually recall the events of their previous lives." Jasmine said, "The fate is not irreversible."
"I don't think the two elders are people who seek the Tao." Wu Jie smiled. Although he looked very tired, he was also very refreshed. "Even if they succeed in their pursuit of the Tao in the future, we will naturally meet again if we are destined."
"Isn't it a pity to just give up like that?"
"Of course it's a pity! But how can everything go well in life? If I go well, others may not go well. If I ignore the trouble it will cause to others for the sake of my own well-being, this is the same as what happened back then.
What difference does it make to the Supreme God?"
"It won't cause any trouble..."
Wu Jie laughed again and asked: "How big is the world of the Book of Heaven?"
Jasmine frowned: "It's not that big yet..."
"How many years does it take for a spiritual grass to attain enlightenment and give birth to spiritual wisdom?"
"It depends on the variety. If you choose the variety carefully, it should last for thousands of years."
"After giving birth to spiritual intelligence, how many years will it take for you to transform into a human being and move around?"
"It usually takes three to five hundred years."
"So how long will it take to recover the memory of the past life?"
"Well...I'm not sure...they don't seem to have the heart to be enlightened. Enlightenment may be very slow..."
"You see, the two elders have to wait 1,500 years before they can take action, and even then, they may not be able to restore the memories of their previous lives. And for my selfish reasons, I have to let them do things they don't like and ask for things they don't want to ask for.
The path to immortality…what’s the point of this?”
Jasmine sighed and did not persuade her again.
She indeed hopes that Wu Jie will become a person who can do whatever he wants, but he can know how to advance and retreat, and keep his righteous thoughts. Although she does not agree with it, she can accept it.
Even when the Supreme God King was at his most ferocious in the past, there were still people with great supernatural powers who could deal with him in the righteous way. And judging from the current state of the world, most of those people with great supernatural powers have already stepped out of the way that the Supreme God King could not.
That step, he came from behind and walked in front of the Supreme God.
Jasmine firmly believes that the path of the Supreme God is definitely correct and can lead directly to the great road. But compared to the path of the demonic path, which has no concrete examples, the righteous path of successful people may be more suitable... At least, it may be more suitable for Wu Jie
After Wu Jie said these words, he felt much more relaxed, as if he had put down a heavy burden. But then he smiled and said: "The souls of the two elders have been sleeping in the spiritual tree for a year. Will there be any
What impact?”
"How could that be? Do I look like the kind of person who does things erratically?" Jasmine shouted immediately, looking very unhappy.
"Then let's send them to reincarnation..."
Jasmine was about to agree, but Du Xin suddenly said: "Actually, there is something else you can do for them." Wu Jie was overjoyed and hurriedly asked what happened. Du Xin naturally did not hide anything, so she told him a special
Hand beating - Among the believers of the Great Guangming Sect in the past, there were some who had no qualifications and did not want to cultivate immortality, but they made great contributions to the sect in other ways. Therefore, after their death, the Great Guangming Sect
The golden elixir masters will capture their souls and put them into a specially set up special formation.
The core of this formation is a divine object given by the Holy Father, which can simulate the reincarnation of the soul in life and death. During the reincarnation, the soul's life's merits and sins will be temporarily separated, and each will have its own consequences. At this time, you can
Use the power of divine objects to extract the sins from the soul, so that the soul only has merit but no sin.
Souls with only merit and no sin will definitely be able to live happily in the next life. This is the reward given to them by the Great Light Sect.
“What about those sins?”
"Let the masters in the sect bear it for them. Anyway, no matter how many sins a mortal has, they are limited and can afford them."
Wu Jie thought briefly and accepted Du Xin's proposal.
...In the miniature reincarnation disk of the Heavenly Book world, the souls of two elderly people flew in blankly like transparent shadows.
This reincarnation uses the black earth where Du Ruo lives as the underworld, the volcano as purgatory, Du Xin's holy spring as the foundation of life, and the medicinal field where spiritual trees are planted as the human world.
The two souls flew in from the rotating samsara disk and appeared in the black soil a moment later.
During this process, the reincarnation disk flickered with strange light, and countless mysterious words appeared, and then faded away layer by layer. Wu Jie watched this strange scene and felt something in his heart.
"That's a spiritual text that symbolizes death - if the world in this world was still the same as ours, this spiritual text should be almost the same." Jasmine whispered from the side, "Master, just keep an impression now, this thing will not affect you for the time being.
It’s useless, but on the contrary, this impression is very useful and is of great benefit to the soul’s cultivation.”
The ghost that staggered in the black soil didn't walk long before it was caught by a strange light, passed through a door of light composed of many mysterious words, and appeared in the volcano.
At this time, many light spots appeared on their bodies, some were bright and warm, which made people feel comfortable when they saw them; some were dark and obscure, which made people feel uncomfortable just looking at them.
"This is merit and sin." Du Xin reminded, "The obscure ones are sin, extract them."
Jasmine nodded and stretched out her hand towards the void of the volcano. Countless colored lights suddenly appeared around the two ghosts. These lights were not strong, but they made people feel that they were more conspicuous than the burning volcano. In the light, there was something vaguely visible.
He saw a few words flowing, but Wu Jie felt dizzy after just one glance and could hardly stand.
"The Gate of Light is engraved with the spiritual text of crime and punishment, which is similar to the Heavenly Tribulation; and the spell I cast is the unique secret method of Yang Shen Zhenxian, which can change all things and coincides with the way of change of heaven and earth - this is comparable
The reincarnation of life and death is a higher level, and my magic power is far more powerful than the miniature reincarnation..." Jasmine asked worriedly, "Master, are you okay?"
Wu Jie was only dizzy for a moment, and then the world of the Book of Heaven immediately underwent mysterious changes, making his spirit extremely stable. Even though he saw many things that he could not understand, it was just like a breeze blowing by, leaving no trace.
Naturally it won't cause any damage.
But Jasmine shook her head and sighed.
She originally planned to take the opportunity of this reincarnation to show Wu Jie the secret of the Great Dao, so that Wu Jie would save a lot of effort and danger when he achieved the golden elixir in the future. But this was, after all, counterproductive, and Wu Jie could only refine the Gang.
His cultivation and soul have not yet completely solidified, and he has no contact with the Great Dao. If he were not in the world of the Book of Heaven, he would have been seriously injured just by looking at it!
Fortunately, as long as he is in the world of the Book of Heaven, he is immortal and enjoys the protection of the entire world. Therefore, the source of the world immediately activated to protect him - but it also caused him to lose the opportunity to understand the great road.
From Jasmine's point of view, this is really a pity! Wu Jie naturally didn't know the key to this. He just stared at the miniature wheel of reincarnation and saw his parents surrounded by the light of merit and mysterious spiritual texts.
The guard flew into the holy spring, and after being washed by the holy spring, the dead spirit of the ghost in his body immediately disappeared, and instead showed a kind of vitality.
And when they were once again captured by the power of the reincarnation disk and were about to be reincarnated into the "human world" symbolized by the spiritual field, Jasmine took action again and pulled them directly out of the reincarnation, turning them into two lively and energetic bodies.
ball of light.
"Okay, all their sins have been eradicated, and their souls have been strengthened. Master, please take them to the underworld and send them to the River Styx for reincarnation."
Wu Jie nodded, took the ball of light, and carefully collected the two sleeping souls in his own Gang Qi, preparing to take them into the netherworld.
Before leaving, he asked with some worry: "How should we deal with those 'sins'?"
Jasmine smiled, raised her hand to grab those obscure and dark light balls, threw them into her mouth, smashed them and swallowed them.
