"The host and Jiulian spent time together, experienced vicissitudes of life, experienced the dangers of the world, and finally transformed Taiyi County into a paradise on earth."
The cold mechanical voice of the system sounded:
"The father-daughter relationship between the host and Jiulian exceeds 90% of ordinary fathers and daughters in the world.
new task:
Teach Jiulian how to hang a pot to help the world, cultivate Jiulian's benevolence, let her distinguish right from wrong, and have a benevolent heart to help the world.
Please choose whether to accept the task.
Note: After accepting the task, the host's medical skills and part of his cultivation will be restored, and his cultivation can be used when treating illnesses.
After the mission is completed, the host's cultivation level and Xu Xian's identity will be completely restored. "
Xu Xian dreams of regaining his cultivation and identity. He wants to be Xu Xian, not Chen San who has no cultivation.
Therefore, Xu Xian chose to accept the task without hesitation.
The moment he accepted the task, Xu Xian suddenly felt refreshed, the spiritual power in his meridians was restored, his skin became fairer, he became younger, and the wrinkles and traces of time on his face disappeared.
Xu Xian used his spiritual power and punched the big tree in front of the county government office. The tree showed no reaction.
System: "The task is not completed. The spiritual power in the body can only be used to heal diseases and cannot be used for other purposes."
Xu Xian tested it again and finally had a general understanding of his current situation.
His strength is three times greater than that of Chen San. He does not tire easily. He can be injured by ordinary swords, guns and arrows. He is not yet invulnerable, but his recovery ability is just a little stronger than that of ordinary people.
The eyesight, hearing, strength, agility, intelligence, and physical strength are about three times that of Chen San. Compared with the original Xu Xian, they are certainly far behind.
Unable to summon the Nameless Divine Sword.
There are still many restrictions, and I just hope to complete the task quickly and completely restore Xu Xian's cultivation and identity.
"Dad, have you become younger? Your whole body is enveloped in a magical light!"
Jiulian tilted her head, raised her eyebrows lightly, and chuckled:
"Is Dad in love? I'm going to have a new mother?"
According to the setting of the system, Jiulian's mother died in childbirth, and Jiulian has been without a mother since she was born.
Seeing that others have mothers, Jiulian also asked Xu Xian to take her to find her mother.
As she grew older, Jiulian knew that her mother would never come back, so she always asked Xu Xian to help her find a new mother.
In Jiulian's simple heart, she just wanted to have a mother to love her and have a mother to love her.
Because others have parents, but she only has one father, which means she has less love than others.
Speaking of new mothers, Xu Xian thought that after the mission was over, he might be able to take Jiulian to see Bai Suzhen.
He just doesn't know whether Jiulian will be the cute little girl she is now or will she have transformed back into the Nine-Rank Lotus Platform after the mission is completed.
Xu Xian rubbed Jiulian's hair and said:
"Lian'er, mom will have it. After a while, dad will take you to find your new mom."
With a curl of her little mouth, Jiulian snorted softly and said:
"Every time, it's been a while. It's been several years, and Lian'er still doesn't have a mother."
Xu Xian said:
"It's true this time. It's just that my father has killed too many people and has too many sins on his body. Meeting the new mother like this will bring disaster to the new mother."
Jiulian said doubtfully:
“We are killing bad guys, they all want us dead, we are trying to protect ourselves.
Dad didn't say that eliminating evil means doing good. We kill people to make the people in Taiyi County live a good life, which is a great merit. "
Xu Xian said:
“From a larger perspective, we have built Taiyi County into an ideal country where farmers have their own land without exploitation or oppression. This is indeed a great merit.
However, if you look at it from another perspective, the people we killed were not heinous. Some of them did not do any evil. They were just in the wrong team for the sake of life and family and chose to help the evildoers.
Killing them was out of righteousness, but it deprived their families of their backbone and left their families with no livelihood. This was also a sin. "
Jiulian asked:
"Did we kill them by mistake? Should we have spared their lives?"
Xu Xian said:
"That's right. There are only the enemy and ourselves on the battlefield. Regardless of good or evil, if we are kind to the enemy, we may be the ones who die."
Jiulian sighed:
“We are all good people, why are we killing each other?
People have been killed, do we have to compensate their families? "
Xu Xian said:
"Someone has already done it. As long as they don't think about revenge, they will live well in the future."
Jiulian said:
"Now that compensation has been made, we are free of guilt, so we can rest assured."
Xu Xian said:
"Compensation can only make up for part of it. The sins of the people we killed cannot be eliminated.
Therefore, we must save people and dispel our sinful spirit with a benevolent heart. "
Jiulian asked:
"How do you want to save the world? Lian'er will accompany her father to save the world."
Xu Xian said:
"The hanging pot helps the world."
"Lian'er knows."
Jiulian held the teapot on the table with both hands and said:
"Dad, as long as we hang up this pot, it will be called Hanging Pot to help the world?"
Hearing this, Xu Xian told Jiulian about the allusion of floating to save the world.
Xuan Hu Ji Shi is a word that praises doctors for saving people from illness. From "Book of the Later Han Dynasty·Fang Shu Biography·Fei Changfang".
Many people may not understand why some traditional Chinese medicine stores hang a gourd in front of their door.
However, if you mention the saying "I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd", you will know that this gourd must be related to medicine.
Gourd, called "pot" in ancient times, commonly known as gourd melon, is one of the symbols of ancient Taoism.
In "Poetry·Binfeng·July", "the pot is broken in August" refers specifically to the gourd containing medicine, that is, the "medicine gourd".
The relationship between gourds and traditional Chinese medicine has a long history. There are many myths and stories in ancient and modern times that almost involve gourds in medicine.
Tieguai Li, one of the legendary "Eight Immortals", often carried a gourd containing "miracle medicine" and traveled around the world to cure diseases and save people.
According to legend, the elixir of immortality carefully refined by Taishang Laojun is contained in his magic weapon, the purple gold gourd.
Regarding the record of Hu Weng, there is "Hu Gong Xie Yuan, a native of Liyang, sells medicine in the market. The price is the same, and all diseases are cured."
The speaker said: If you take this medicine, you will definitely vomit something, and you will be cured one day, and everything will work. He collected tens of thousands of dollars a day and gave it to the poor and hungry people in the city. "
From this point of view, Hu Weng is a hermit doctor who possesses medical skills and is willing to do good. Because a pot is often hung as a medical flag in the place where medicines are provided for diagnosis and treatment, so he is called the Pot Man.
Similar records can also be found in Ge Hong's "Biography of Immortals" of the Jin Dynasty and some miscellaneous ancient history.
It probably refers to a certain summer in the Han Dynasty, when a plague broke out in Henan and many people died, unable to be cured.
One day, a magical old man came here. He opened a small Chinese medicine store in an alley. A medicine gourd was hung in front of the door, which contained pills to treat this plague.
This "pot man" has special skills and is good at charity. Whenever someone comes to seek medical treatment, the old man will take out a pill from the medicine gourd and let the patient drink it with warm water.
In this way, everyone who drank the "pot man" medicine got better one by one.
At that time, Fei Changfang, a native of Runan, saw this old man jumping into the pot after everyone left. He felt very strange, so he brought wine and food to visit, and the old man invited him to join him in the pot.
From then on, Fei Changfang followed him to learn Taoism, and the pot master taught him the art of "hanging the pot to help the world".
Although recording this legend is somewhat mythical, the medical skills of the two of them are indeed admirable.
Because of the spread of this story, later generations called the practice of medicine the hanging pot. The congratulatory messages from doctors or clinics, without exception, all mentioned hanging pots to help the world, and the hanging gourd became a symbol of traditional Chinese medicine.
Doctors also have a profound meaning in hanging the medicine gourd:
The first is to show the world his ambition of "hanging a pot to help the world".
The second is to value the practical value of gourds.
It is indeed better to use gourds to store medicines than other containers such as iron boxes, clay pots, wooden boxes, etc. Because of its strong sealing performance, moisture cannot easily enter and it is easy to keep medicines dry.
We know from historical records of the past dynasties that medical practitioners in ancient times carried gourds on their backs wherever they went. For example, Sun Simiao, the king of medicine in the Tang Dynasty, would hang a medicinal gourd when collecting medicines.
Moreover, in addition to holding medicine, gourds can also be used as medicine themselves and can cure many diseases.
Therefore, people later called those who sold medicine and practiced medicine "Xuanhu", and the doctor's profession was lauded as "Xuanhu Jishi". Doctors in the past dynasties would congratulate their opening of medicine with "Xuanhu's Joy" and so on.
After listening to Xu Xian's story, Jiulian finally understood what "Xuan Hu Ji Shi" means. Hanging a teapot does not just mean "Xuan Hu Ji Shi", and said:
"Dad, Lian'er should also be like Tie Guai Li, Hu Gong, Fei Changfang, Yao Wang and other seniors."
