In a room full of fragrant aroma, Liu Hanyan stood in front of the bed, looked at Li Mu lying on the bed, turned around and asked, "Doctor, what's wrong with him?"
"It's strange, it's really strange..." The old man withdrew his fingers from Li Mu's wrist and said doubtfully: "This young master's pulse is steady and strong, it doesn't look like he has a disease..."
Liu Hanyan said in surprise: "But how could he vomit blood and faint?"
"Judging from the pulse, his body is indeed fine, but he is anemic and qi-deficient." The old man thought for a while and said: "It is common for people with anemia and qi-deficiency to feel dizzy, and stagnation in the body and vomiting blood are not all bad things. Otherwise,
I will first prescribe him a prescription to nourish qi and blood, and after he has taken two pills, we will see the effects..."
Liu Hanyan nodded and said, "That's all we have to do."
The old man stroked his beard and asked again: "So, girl, do I prescribe this medicine as a top-grade prescription, a medium-grade prescription, or a low-grade prescription?"
Liu Hanyan asked: "Is there any difference?"
"Of course there are." The old man explained: "The medicinal materials used in the high-grade prescriptions are all precious medicinal materials. The medicinal materials used in the medium-grade prescriptions are less effective, and those in the inferior prescriptions are more effective. Of course, the better the prescriptions, the more expensive they will be."
The more expensive it is.”
Liu Hanyan glanced at Li Mu, blinked her beautiful eyes, and said: "Then let's go for the higher-grade prescription, the more expensive the better. Wanwan, follow the doctor to the drug store to get some medicine..."
…
When Li Mu woke up, his head still hurt badly.
He vaguely remembered that when he was using the "Tao Te Ching" instead of the "Tao Jing" and trying to perform Taoist magic, an accident happened.
Before he could even utter the first sentence of "Dao Ke Dao", he suffered a strong backlash and vomited blood and fainted at the door of his home.
And the environment he is in now is not like a street.
Li Mu opened his eyes with difficulty and found that he was lying on the bed, covered with a pink quilt with a faint fragrance. A beautiful woman stood in front of the bed, looking at him expressionlessly.
Liu Hanyan looked at Li Mu calmly and said, "You're awake."
Li Mu sat up from the bed and asked, "Why am I here?"
Liu Hanyan said: "You fainted outside just now, we called the doctor for you."
Li Mu got off the bed and said sincerely: "Thank you, girl..."
He originally thought that Liu Hanyan had a small belly, but he didn't expect that her mind was as big as her breasts. She was able to save her regardless of her past grievances, but he had a villain's heart, which made Li Mu feel extremely ashamed.
Liu Hanyan waved his hand: "You can't just ignore death."
Li Mu handed over his hand again: "I still have to thank you, girl."
"It's such a small thing, it's not worth mentioning." Liu Hanyan shook his head and said: "However, you still have to pay for the doctor's consultation fees and medicines yourself. I have already advanced the payment for you just now, so you can just give it to me directly.
"
"It should." Li Mu took out the money bag from his waist and asked, "How much is it?"
Liu Hanyan said: "The consultation fee is one penny."
A penny of silver was not too expensive, so Li Mu took out a piece of broken silver from his purse, about a penny or more, and placed it on the bedside cabinet.
Li Mu asked again: "How much does the medicine cost?"
Liu Hanyan took out a white jade abacus from nowhere, fiddled with it for a while, and said: "The medicine costs ten taels or three dollars. I'll wipe out the change for you. Just pay me back ten taels."
Li Mulu was stunned for a moment, thinking he heard wrongly, and asked uncertainly: "How much?"
"Twelve." Liu Hanyan handed him a few packets of medicine, and then handed him a prescription and said, "This is the prescription. If you don't believe it, you can go to the drug store and ask."
A few packets of medicine actually cost ten taels of silver. Li Mu took the prescription and said in disbelief: "How can a few pills be so expensive? Miss Liu, you won't be deceived..."
"I want to see what kind of medicine is so expensive, isn't it century-old wild ginseng, fifty-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, top-quality deer antler tops, seventy-year-old Shouwu..."
Li Mu looked at the prescription and his voice gradually became quieter.
"Damn black-hearted drug dealer!"
Li Mu cursed angrily in his heart. He finally understood why these medicines were so expensive. Almost all of them were precious medicinal materials. Damn it if they were not expensive!
Obviously, the doctor must have taken advantage of Li Mu's coma and unconsciousness to promote these precious medicinal materials.
The unscrupulous doctors colluded with the unscrupulous drug dealers to deceive Liu Hanyan, a simple woman with a kind heart and a lot of money. She accidentally fell into the pit they dug.
The problem is that Liu Hanyan has money and Li Mu does not. If he had any sense at that time, he would not waste money like this...
Although she did bad things with good intentions, Li Mu couldn't blame her. He had an embarrassed expression on his face and said, "Miss Liu, I don't have so much money now..."
"It doesn't matter." Liu Hanyan waved his hand, looking indifferent, "You can write an IOU first. You are from the Yamen, so you shouldn't default on the debt, right?"
"of course not."
Li Mu sighed secretly in his heart. He was already very poor, but he accidentally owed another ten taels of foreign debt. With his monthly salary of 500 yuan, he didn't even have enough food and clothing. He didn't know why.
Only then can we pay it back...
Liu Hanyan took out the pen and ink, and Li Mu sighed and picked up the pen to write the IOU.
The IOU was made in two copies. After Li Mu finished writing it, he put his fingerprints on it, gave one copy to Liu Hanyan, and kept the other copy for himself.
The general content of the IOU is that Li Mu borrowed ten taels of silver from his neighbor Liu Hanyan and had to pay it back within one year. Li Mu originally wanted to calculate the interest for her, but Liu Hanyan refused, which made Li Mu even more ashamed. She is really a kind girl.
, his previous behavior was a bit villainous.
After coming out of Liuzhai, Li Mu first went to the drug store to see if these tonics could be returned.
Although these things are good, he has no use at all.
The clerk at the drug store shook his head helplessly and said: "Sir, it's not that we won't withdraw, it's because these medicinal materials are all mixed together and there's no way we can withdraw..."
Li Mu said with a straight face: "You are committing malicious fraud. Believe it or not, I will report it to the Yamen..."
"Sir, you can't say that..." An old man stepped forward and explained: "I told the girl at that time that the drug store had high-grade medicine, medium-grade medicine, and low-grade medicine. It was the girl who insisted on it.
Choose the best one, and say the more expensive the better, the store operates with integrity and will never do such fraud..."
"..."
…
Li Mu carried the medicine and walked out of the pharmacy with an ugly face.
Revenge, this is naked revenge.
Liu Hanyan deliberately bought these expensive medicinal materials in order to trick him. Anyway, in the end, Li Mu still had to pay for all the expenses.
Li Mu still underestimated her broad-mindedness and harmed others without benefiting herself. This is something only a narrow-minded person can do.
He must find a way to repay this money as soon as possible, otherwise, he will always be humble in front of Liu Hanyan.
Li Mu stopped thinking about the silver matter for the time being. He returned home, closed the courtyard door, sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, and fell into deep thought.
He has not forgotten that the culprit of all this is actually himself.
To be more precise, he used the "Tao Te Ching" instead of the "Tao Jing" and tried to implement Taoism, but he suffered backlash.
The book says that the power of Taoism can be strong or weak. The more powerful the Taoism, the higher the requirements for the practitioner's cultivation. If it is used forcefully, it can range from injury to severe punishment and death. If one does not have enough Taoism, he will suffer from it.
.
Although I just walked around the gate of hell, it at least illustrates one problem.
The "Tao" of these two worlds are connected to a certain extent. The "Tao Te Ching" can completely replace the mantra of the Tao Jing and resonate with the world. However, Li Mu is too weak now and cannot understand the mystery.
Practice is the only criterion for testing truth, but even if Li Mu borrowed ten more courages, he would not dare to use the "Tao Te Ching" to commit suicide.
I don’t know if other Taoist classics besides the Tao Te Ching have the effect of mantras...
Li Mu didn't know anything about Taoism and Buddhism. After all, when he was in the hospital bed, the only thing he could do to pass the time was reading books. Although he had not read the obscure classics of Buddhism and Taoism, he was familiar with Buddhism and Taoism.
The cognition is not limited to reciting a few sentences: "Those who are facing the battle will march forward in formation", "The Supreme Lord is as anxious as the law", "The mighty heavenly dragon, the great Luo mantra"...
Among the Taoist classics, the ones that Li Muneng can name include "Tai Shang Lao Jun Speaks of Chang Qing Jing Jing", "Tai Shang Three Cave Divine Curse", "Tai Yi Awakening Sin, Killing Demons and Protecting the Body". Of course, he has already known the contents of them.
I forgot about it, but this is not a big problem for him now.
The charm Li Qing gave him last time had not expired yet, so Li Mu took it out and put it on his forehead. After a while of coolness, some forgotten memories began to emerge.
Not knowing when this talisman and seal would become invalid, Li Mu quickly picked up a pen and paper and started writing furiously.
"The great road is invisible, giving birth to the heaven and the earth; the great road is ruthless, moving the sun and the moon; the great road is nameless, nourishing all things; I don't know its name, so I call it Tao. Those who are Taoists..."
"The heaven and earth are infinite, the universe is borrowed from the law; the law is born from the heart, and it is endless..."
"Xuanzong of Heaven and Earth, the root of all qi. Cultivate for thousands of kalpas and prove my magical powers..."
…
After copying "Tai Shang Laojun's Sutra of Changing Peace", "Tai Yi's Curse to Avert Sins, Kill Demons and Protect Oneself", and "Tai Shang Three Cave Divine Curse", only one third of them were copied. The paper charm on Li Mu's forehead suddenly fell off.
When I applied it again, the effect was no longer there.
Li Mu rubbed his sore wrist and put away the talisman that had exhausted his spiritual power. This talisman was of great use to him. He would have to ask for more talismans from Li Qing next time, or simply learn the talismans by himself.
, Li Mu is also very curious about this aspect.
I have almost copied them, but which one to use for the experiment is a question that needs to be considered.
In another world, the "Tao Te Ching" can be called Taoist teachings, and it can't even kill him. According to common sense, even if the classics he copied also have a role similar to mantras, they shouldn't have much impact.
Danger.
But just in case, he still had to make some preparations in advance.
Li Mu thought for a while, then ran to the kitchen and started a fire in the yard. Soon, the small yard was filled with the aroma of barbecue.
Not long after, a head grew out of the wall of the courtyard next door.
Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Neighbors should help each other and love each other. Especially for new neighbors who have just moved in, we need to let them experience a strong sense of neighborliness.
Li Mu smiled, looked up at the pretty girl, and asked: "Miss Wanwan, have you eaten?"
