ps: Thanks to Federer for his backhand, Mr. Phoenix, Master Lingsu, and Qu Jinyuan for their rewards, and thanks to fellow Taoists for their monthly votes for encouragement. Also, thanks to Brother Werewolf 42, who won the vote in February, and for his full praise.
After leaving the cave, Zhao Ran carefully returned to the way he came from for more than a mile, cleaning up all the footprints and traces he left. After returning, he did not enter the cave, but wandered back and forth at the entrance of the cave.
Feeling extremely irritated, I kicked a few stones away from the entrance of the cave, which finally relieved the tightness in my chest.
After setting up a formation at the entrance of the cave, Zhao Ran entered the cave and saw that the leopard skin had been dried by the bonfire. He took it and covered it with the Taoist priest and continued to rest at home.
When he woke up, it was night again. Zhao Ran looked at the Taoist priest's condition, but there was no sign of improvement. He tried to move the Taoist priest, and as soon as he lifted him up by three points, he heard the Taoist priest grunting, and beads of sweat suddenly covered his face.
Zhao Ran had no choice but to put him down again.
Regardless of fever or poisoning, under the current conditions, all Zhao Ran can do is to keep pouring water into the Taoist priest and try to make him eat two mouthfuls of meat - the latter is especially difficult. The other is to tear off a section of his monk's robe to soak it
Apply it on his forehead to cool down, and then feed him Yangxin Pills regularly.
Yangxin Pills are not easy to make, but they are very effective. They are especially good at replenishing the depleted energy of people, and they can also cure diseases. For ordinary people, almost 90% of the diseases can be cured by medicine, but for the Taoist priest in front of me
He had fever and abdominal pain, but it never had much effect. Zhao Ran couldn't figure out why, but he didn't dare to stop. He could only keep feeding him medicine, hoping to alleviate the condition.
After feeding the Taoist priest Yangxin Pills, Zhao Ran had time to open the package he had confiscated at Baoping Temple and inspect his trophies.
The package taken out of Zen Master Baoping's Zen room was filled with a bunch of objects. The first thing Zhao Ran saw was the bottle of black ginseng pills.
He took out the bottle of Wushen Pills and looked at the prescription carefully, and found that it was 60 to 70% similar to Yangxin Pills. However, there were a few more herbs that could clear fire and detoxify. Zhao Ran didn’t know why the Taoist priest had a fever, but he only made a preliminary judgment that it should be
It was caused by wind and cold entering the body. According to the general pharmacology, taking it is partially symptomatic. As for the pain in the Taoist priest's abdomen, Zhao Ran couldn't take care of it anymore - he even guessed whether it might be an attack of appendicitis. Just watching
The area that the Taoist priest covered with his hands when he was in pain twice did not seem to be the same.
There are many texts in Taoist classics about how to maintain health and cure diseases. For example, the "Yellow Emperor's Yin Fu Jing" records many prescriptions. But the problem is that Zhao Ran has never experienced clinical consultation and does not know the scholar's past medical history.
In addition, I don’t know the physical differences between monks and lay people, so I am very uncertain.
Just letting the Taoist priest continue to be sick is definitely not an option. As far as the high fever is concerned, if the fever lasts for two more days, his brain will be burned and confused. In addition, he is currently in the Bayan Hara Mountains and is not far away from the treasure.
The Ping Temple is really dangerous. You must seize the time to escape, and the further away you can, the better.
Zhao Ran was cruel and secretly thought that the dead horse should be treated as a living horse doctor. If you, fellow Taoist, die like this, you must blame Pindao.
Zhao Ran pried open the Taoist priest's closed teeth and poured a black ginseng pill and water into it. Without stopping, Zhao Ran opened other porcelain bottles and added "Yuan Guang Powder", "Jin Kui Pill", etc.
Put it into the mouth of the Taoist priest. Although these two medicines are not symptomatic, according to the list of medicinal materials listed in the prescription, they will not conflict with the disease and can strengthen the body. The "Yuanguang San" among them seems to be used to restore mana.
It also has certain effects.
The Taoist priest fell asleep again. Zhao Ran first took out the green cord and tried it to see if he could actively send out the Buddhist teachings engraved on it. The result was of course in vain. The green cord did not give him any response, so he had to continue to look through the package.
In addition to several porcelain bottles filled with medicine and prescriptions, there were also several fine Guanyin jade pendants, Maitreya jade pendants, the green jade Buddha beads that Aquarius Zen Master often hung on his chest, a string of dark wooden rosary beads, and a
A sandalwood finger ring and a fragment of a Buddhist scripture.
Jade pendants, jade pendants, Buddhist beads, finger rings, rosary beads and other objects were all kept in secret compartments by treasure bottles. They must not be common objects. Zhao Ran followed the method taught by Tong Lao and carefully inspected these objects. There was flickering Buddha light on them.
It is constantly circulating, and it is obvious that it is a refined Buddhist magical weapon.
The things are good things, but except for the thumb ring, it is obvious at a glance that they are all magical tools used by Buddhist disciples. Even if Zhao Ran takes them back, he cannot use them openly, and he currently does not have the ability to use Buddhist magical tools, except for turning them in.
, it seems there is no choice.
Sighing, Zhao Ran regretfully swept the things aside and went to read the Buddhist scriptures again.
The cover page of the Buddhist scriptures said "The Thousand Weapons of the Mahayana Bodhisattva", but only the first ten pages were left, and the back part was torn off by someone unknown. Zhao Ran opened it casually and started reading quickly from the first page.
After a few lines of words, I was immediately surprised and inexplicable.
This "Mahayana Bodhisattva's Thousand Weapons Techniques" is different from other Buddhist practices. It specifically describes how to refine and maintain various magical instruments. Thirteen pages of yellow and black paper record thirteen kinds of magical instruments.
All the items that were confiscated from his home were recorded in the register.
Zhao Ran thought for a while and guessed that these magical weapons must have been refined by Zen Master Aquarius based on this fragment.
It took about half an hour for Zhao Ran to finish reading the fragment, and the joy in his heart was simply indescribable. This book, "The Thousand Weapons of the Mahayana Bodhisattva", seems to be a Buddhist classic just by looking at the name, but it contains methods for refining magical weapons.
, but it is not limited to Buddhism. The Guanyin Jade Pendant, Maitreya Jade Pendant, Green Jade Buddha Beads, and Bodhi Rosary are all Buddhist ritual objects. However, the Qingwei whisk and the Yin-Yang Bagua Mirror recorded on the other pages are Taoist ritual objects at first glance.
Zen Master Baoping doesn't know the Taoist techniques and can't refine them.
As for the sandalwood thumb ring, it is neither Buddha nor Taoism, or both Buddha and Taoism. Zhao Ran can't tell which company it should be classified into. Although the refining method is complicated, the method of use is very simple and does not require the power of Buddhism and Taoism.
Just visualize. No matter you are a Buddhist or a Taoist, you can turn on this sandalwood ring!
Zhao Ran guessed that the original title of the fragment was definitely not "The Thousand Weapons of the Mahayana Bodhisattva". The title was just a deception. As for the true origin of the fragment, there must be other stories, but that had nothing to do with Zhao Ran.
Zhao Ran carefully put the ring on his thumb and used the visualization method taught by Zhu Qigu to open the ring. In just one breath, he saw the situation inside the ring.
This is a space with a round sky and a small square, but the space regulations are very small. It would be like compressing the heaven and the earth into the size of a house. There are neatly placed gold ingots in a corner of the space, which is roughly estimated to be no less than 10,000 taels, and there are
A small box was filled with pearls and gems, the value of which could not be estimated. The other half of the space was filled with various medicinal materials, some of which Zhao Ran could identify, such as Shouwu, Ganoderma lucidum, snow lotus, ginseng, etc. He didn't know the year of each, or what.
There were some items that Zhao Ran had never seen before, and they were not recorded in the Taoist scriptures he had read. In addition, there were several cassocks, monk shoes and other common clothing.
In addition, there are about a dozen magical instruments floating quietly in the space, including both Taoist and Buddhist instruments. They look of good quality, and you can tell at a glance that they are treasures.
Zhao Ran had seen Tong Lao's big gourd and Qigu's glazed palace lantern, and knew what a storage artifact was - of course, those two treasures were more than just storage. He was unspeakably envious at the time, and now he has them too.
A room for storing magic weapons, Zhao Ran was absolutely elated.
And there are so many good things in the wrench, Zhao Ran almost died laughing.
Get rich, get rich! Zhao Ran covered his mouth and was secretly happy for a long time. Then, he used visualization to "deliver" everything in the package into the ring, including two uneaten leopard legs.
After thinking about it, I simply put the Taoist priest's bamboo stick in it. If the Taoist priest died of illness, the bamboo stick would be his. If the Taoist priest came back to life, it would not be too late to return it to him.
He touched the Taoist priest's forehead with his hand. It was still very hot. Zhao Ran got up and fed him another leaf of water.
Just as he was about to go out and bring back some water, he heard faint voices coming from outside.
"Uncle, there seems to be a fire over there..."
"Go over and have a look..."
When it was broken, Zhao Ran wanted to extinguish the bonfire, but as soon as he reached out, he took it back again. People had already seen it. If he tried to extinguish it now, there would be no silver left.
Zhao Ran didn't want to be blocked in the cave, so he simply came to the entrance of the cave and secretly inspected the magic circle he had set up. Seeing that all the Five Elements magic tools were in place, he took a deep breath to calm down his nervous mood, and
Respond to people coming.
As soon as I was ready, two monks with fluttering sleeves appeared on the opposite side. (To be continued)
