Chapter 97: Medicine House Ghost Hand Medicine Saint
Of the eight states of Chu, only Youzhou is isolated on the southwest border. Although the area is vast, half of the area to the west is a desolate Gobi with no vegetation.
But if tourists choose to go south for sightseeing, the greenery will gradually increase. The closer they get to Nantang, the more beautiful the scenery will be.
Especially in Youzhou, there is a world-famous scenery called Wanfenglin. It is said that this place is made up of 10,000 continuous peaks, so it is named Wanfenglin.
Speaking of the Ten Thousand Peaks Forest, it was actually not very famous during the previous dynasty. Even in Youzhou itself, it was rarely known.
It wasn't until the last years of the previous dynasty that a frustrated scholar traveled here and wrote an article "A Journey to Wanfenglin", which made the Wanfenglin famous throughout the world:
Yu Fang went to Beijing at the age of 20 and lived in the city for seven years. He originally had great ambitions, but all the information was in vain.
That day, I suddenly felt that my heart had been trapped in a cage for a long time. I carried one or two book boys, three to five silver coins, and seventy-eight pieces of clothes, and lived between heaven and earth with a broken will.
After traveling for three years, I arrived in Youzhou and realized that the scenery of the frontier fortress was not inferior to that of the misty and rainy south of the Yangtze River. I met an old man on the road and heard about a scene that I could see fifty miles south. It was called Ten Thousand Peaks Forest. It is said that half of the world's peaks are found here.
I was surprised, but without any doubts, I walked south for a day and finally saw this wonder in the world. I said: "Great goodness."
The water is green and covered with fog, thousands of peaks gather to form a forest, and hundreds of streams converge to form a river.
Between the mountains, pines and cypresses face each other. If you are in this mountain, you can hear the sound of gurgling water. If you walk a hundred steps forward, the river will fall on the two peaks and form a waterfall.
You can observe the scenery of the four seasons. In the morning, there are white cranes going west. At noon, you can see apes and monkeys frolicking. At dusk, solitary swans fly together. At night, tigers roar in the forest.
? Yu Chang sighed that the journey had taken a long time, so he stayed here in a house. The rivers, fish and mountains were full of delicacies. He sat and watched the clouds and tides rolling in. He lay down and counted the stars in the sky. There were gourds lying on the ground. The visitors slowly became drunk.
Once this book "A Journey to Wanfenglin" was published, it not only made Wanfenglin the most beautiful scenery in the world, but also made the scholar who stayed in the capital for seven years only to become a sixth-rank official famous in history.
The scholar's name is Zhao Wenxiu. In fact, after he wrote "A Journey to Wanfenglin", the emperor of the previous dynasty sent someone to invite him to return to the dynasty to serve as an official. He seemed to be a third-rank minister, but he politely refused.
Now, I claim that I am happy with the beautiful scenery here, and I no longer have any thoughts about being an official.
He lived in seclusion in the Ten Thousand Peaks Forest for the rest of his life, and it was not until he was nearly 70 years old that he made up his mind to return to his hometown. He said that although this place was good, it was not a place to bury his bones, and he had to return to his roots no matter what.
After that, many scholars who thought they had great literary talents but were not important came to this place to learn from Zhao Wenxiu and live in seclusion. At the same time, they also hoped that the court could learn from the previous dynasty and have a polite and virtuous corporal.
Apart from those who have read few of these books and have a lot of bullshit scholars with poor theories, there is another kind of person who comes to live here, and that is the doctor.
Speaking of the beautiful place between heaven and earth, Wanfenglin cannot be said to be the best in the world, but it is second, third, and worst of all, fourth. How can it have its place?
Therefore, there are many rare medicinal materials in this mountain that are not easy to find in the outside world. Any doctor who is somewhat famous in the world and is called a miracle doctor will be punished if he says that he has never come to the Ten Thousand Peaks Forest to look for medicine.
People laugh.
Nowadays, right at the waterfall recorded in Zhao Wenxiu's "A Journey to Wanfenglin", there lives a medical sage who is said to be able to kill people alive and make flesh and bones. He dares to steal people in front of the Lord of Hell.
.
But no one knew his name, they only knew that he was called Ghost Hand, so the world gave him the title of Ghost Hand Doctor.
Speaking of his name as a medical saint, it came from a legendary bet. It was said that there was a cult in the Southern Tang Dynasty called Wudu. This sect was not outstanding in martial arts, but it had a deep research on poisonous insects and poisons.
.
One time, the leader of the Five Poison Sect developed a powerful poison, named it a first-class death pill. It was colorless and odorless and had no antidote to detoxify it. It was said to be the best poison pill in the world, even if it was a first-grade mortal realm.
All the masters will be poisoned by it, and only the first-level stage can be considered to have some way to survive.
.
When the ghost-hand medical sage went to the Southern Tang Dynasty to look for medicine, he saw the elixir and said that it was just a mixture of 108 poisonous insects, weeds and flowers, and that the world's most poisonous elixir was just a false claim.
After hearing this, the leader of the Five Poison Sect was naturally very unconvinced, and proposed to compete with him. The two of them would eat each other's poison, and whoever could detoxify the poison would win.
As for the one who fails to detoxify, it will naturally be a dead end. What if both of them fail to detoxify? Why are they fighting for these names when they are both dead together?
The leader of the Five Poison Sect took out the first-grade death-killing elixir. After eating it, the Ghost Hand Doctor detoxified it in only half a stick of incense.
On the contrary, it was the leader of the Five Poison Sect. If the Ghost-Hand Doctor hadn't felt sorry for him and took action to detoxify him, he would have really died.
After this bet, the name of the medical saint spread, and countless people came to him for medical treatment.
But speaking of it, he was also powerful enough. At that time, he solved three of the five incurable diseases that had countless doctors scratching their heads. He also solved some strange and difficult diseases with ease.
At the beginning, he would treat patients attentively, but later his time was taken up more and more, so much so that he no longer had time to study medical skills, so he hid all the way here and built a medicine house.
Later, it was not that no one found this place, but he made a rule, you can save people, but you must first go to the Ten Thousand Peaks Forest to find a plant for him or bring a big medicine plant yourself.
The so-called great medicine refers to rare medicinal materials that are more than five hundred years old, well preserved, and of good quality. Such medicinal materials are rare even in Wanfeng Forest.
Great medicines are hard to find, and even more rare. At first, some people were lucky enough to find one or two strains, but later it became too difficult to find, and few people in the world came to see this ghost-hand doctor.
Some people may say that you, a defenseless doctor, are still hesitating when asked to save someone, so you are not afraid of being stabbed to death by someone else?
But what is the reality? Doctors have a very high status in the world. If someone dares to seek revenge from a doctor, then all the doctors in the world will not treat his illness or injury.
Because no one can guarantee that they will not be injured, so unless there is some sworn hatred, generally no one will embarrass the doctor.
Besides, who said that doctors must be defenseless? Not even the leader of the Five Poison Sect can detoxify the poison of this ghost-hand doctor, let alone those ignorant fools, if he secretly does it to you
Who can stand it?
"Get out! You stupid boy, who the hell did you let me use my medicine? You have a bad character with your master, Xu San'er, kick him out and watch carefully, don't let him sneak in again!
"
An extremely angry voice came from the medicine hut next to the waterfall. Although this voice sounded a little old, it was full of energy. It seemed that the old man who spoke was well-educated.
After the old man finished speaking, he saw a child with red lips and white teeth pushing a young man out, then turned around and closed the door, and then turned back angrily to look at the young boy sulking.
Needless to say, there is no need to say more about this person who can make people of all ages dislike him. Apart from Ergou, there is no one else in the world.
When he dug the old man Wang Xuanlang out of the mountain in tears, Wang Xuanlang still breathed a sigh of relief. Before he passed out, he told Ergou to bring him to Wanfeng Forest to find the Holy Ghost Hand Doctor.
Finally, under the escort of Duan Wudao and Hua Xueji, we arrived here safely.
After Wang Xuanlang recovered, Hua Xueji and the other two left one after another. After all, they were raising families and had a large group of children that they needed to take care of.
"San'er, just let me in! What's the relationship between us? I promise not to touch anything this time, okay? My master is still lying inside! I won't worry if I don't go in and watch him."
The child who was called Saner by Ergou snorted and turned his face
Twisted to one side, his angry look is really cute. No wonder these two dogs always make him angry intentionally or unintentionally.
"Er Gou, don't try to lie to me. That's what you told me yesterday. My master said that Grandpa Wang has been fine for a long time. You don't need to worry here."
"Then when I told you like this the day before yesterday, didn't you also let me in?"
Xu San's face turned red with embarrassment after being poked in a sore spot. Compared to his own indifferent character, Jiang Ergou was too eloquent in his eyes.
"Er Gouzi, no matter what you said today, I won't let you in again. When my master was giving Grandpa Wang acupuncture and medicine, you had already destroyed two of my master's big medicines. If you continue like this,
My master must be mad at you to death."
"Hey, San'er, you have to be responsible for what you say. I just stretched out my hand and touched it twice. What kind of thing could be broken so easily?"
When it came to his professional knowledge, Xu San looked at Jiang Ergou with disdain.
"What do you know? Some medicinal materials cannot be touched directly with hands. For example, the main medicine used to treat Grandpa Wang's illness is Yuqing Colorful Lotus. It can only be accessed with jade. Once you reach out and touch it, it will be released.
Thirty percent of the medicinal effect has been lost, and there is still a red sandalwood root. Only by keeping it in a rosewood box can its medicinal effect be preserved for a long time."
After listening to what Xu San said a lot, Ergou's eyes showed curiosity.
"San'er, isn't this medicine used to treat illnesses and save people? It's not as mysterious as you say."
"well!"
Xu San lamented, as if lamenting the ignorance of these two dogs, and then he pretended to imitate his master's tone of voice.
"Our way of medicine is not bad at all compared to the way of martial arts. If we can reach the peak of this way, we can save others' lives and restore their souls, and change their lives against the will of heaven!"
Ergou didn't think what Xu San said was true. He probably was deceived by his medical saint master. However, Ergou couldn't break people's illusions, so he didn't object.
He curled his lips slightly.
"Old man, your injury is no longer serious. Get out of here and give me a nice word. I don't have any extra food to feed you here."
Wang Xuanlang, who had woken up half a month ago, put on his clothes with a playful smile.
"Hey hey hey, let's go? I've brought my apprentice here and you still expect me to leave? Let me tell you, my apprentice and I will live here with you for the rest of our lives."
It's okay not to mention Jiang Ergou. The mention of it reminded the Ghost Hand Doctor of the two great medicines that were almost destroyed. Fortunately, he discovered it early and could still save it now. If it had been delayed a little longer,
That would really be ruined.
"You still have the nerve to talk about your apprentice, who is exactly the same as you were before, very careless. Can you still practice swordsmanship well with such a personality?"
Wang Xuanlang put the last coat on his body and said it naturally.
"My master, who is so frivolous, can do it well. Why can't his apprentice, who is frivolous like me?"
"snort!"
The Ghost-Hand Doctor snorted coldly and stopped talking about this topic. Having known Old Man Wang for half his life, the Ghost-Hand Doctor clearly knew that he could not defeat him in all these twists and turns, just like now.
Ergou and Xu San.
"I'm still looking for that guy when I go to Nantang this time? But I always feel that even with your current level, you still can't beat him."
"What else? If you can't beat me, why don't you beat me?"
Hearing the words of his old friend, the Ghost-Hand Doctor didn't say anything to dissuade him.
This old guy who seems not to care about anything actually takes everything seriously and cannot let go of anything.
"If you could really live here for the rest of your life..."
The Ghost Hand Doctor seemed to have seen something interesting, but it was probably a scene of a quarrel with Wang Xuanlang.
