At noon on March 8, Lu Cheng suddenly received a call from Lu Mingzhen, her voice sounded a bit deep.
"I am your Aunt Lu, can you come to my house?"
"Aunt Lu? Are you back from Shangjing?"
"Well, please come here and I want to ask you something."
"Okay, I'll be there later."
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Cheng came to No. 336 Shengfu Qian Street.
Lu Mingzhen's face was very gloomy, with thick dark circles under her eyes, and she looked like she had not rested well.
Lu Cheng asked: "Aunt Lu, please take care of yourself and don't be too tired."
Lu Mingzhen forced a smile and said: "There is something going on at home. My father is dying. The hospital issued two critical illness notices. I stayed with him in the hospital for a few days. I am mentally and physically exhausted and can't hold on anymore."
"How long will the old man live?"
"78 years old. Not considered a long life. It's not even close to the average life span of Chinese people."
Lu Cheng sighed lightly: "The sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortune and fortune."
Lu Mingzhen looked at him and said, "I am suffering from an acute illness and I went to the doctor indiscriminately. Please come over and ask me something."
"Auntie, don't be polite. If you have anything to say, please tell me."
"My dad has late-stage liver cancer. He underwent Western medicine surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, but it didn't have much effect, so he has given up now. I went to the Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic to consult several experts, and someone prescribed a prescription, but it was difficult for my dad to get the right medicine; I met acupuncture expert Huo Mingan, and he said that ordinary acupuncture would not be effective. After all, it was an advanced stage of liver cancer, and traditional Chinese medicine could not treat the disease.
I was helpless and asked again and again. He gave me a piece of information, saying that Academician Huang Yingyi was researching a new type of mugwort and had discovered several different ingredients. Mugwort might be used for treatment and might have some effect. "
When Lu Cheng heard this, he couldn't help frowning and said: "Aunt Lu, to be honest with you, I only have a little bit of that mugwort. It was originally used for research and has not been made into moxa sticks. Moreover, I doubt its effect. It is limited and cannot reverse late-stage liver cancer."
Lu Mingzhen said: "Huo Mingan said that moxibustion can relieve pain, activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, warm and replenish yang energy, and strengthen the source. You can give it a try."
Lu Cheng shook his head: "Aunt Lu, it's not my fault. This matter is really difficult."
Lu Ming tried hard to maintain a smile and said slowly: "Lu Cheng, I'm very familiar with your father, and I know some things about you from his mouth. You made soup at home, which made your father's health good, and you also took the prize from the Daishan Mountaineering Festival last year. The champion of the senior group! Last year's train crash, only you and Jiang Qiuyun survived. You jumped from an ordinary college student to an Olympic champion. Many miracles have happened to you. Many miracles are difficult to understand. Because of this, Auntie I just asked you for advice to see if there is any way you can bring my father back to life."
Lu Cheng still shook his head: "Aunt Lu, the moxa velvet for making moxa sticks must be prepared in advance. The old moxa leaves are dried and pestled repeatedly, screened, and impurities removed to make them as soft and fine as cotton, which is the moxa velvet. And the moxa velvet is There are two types. The ones processed by the above method are coarse moxa velvet, which can yield six or seven taels per pound, which is suitable for general moxibustion. If it is processed more carefully, dried in the sun for dozens of times, and screened dozens of times, only two taels per pound can be obtained. , three liang, turn into khaki, and become fine moxa velvet, which can be used for direct moxibustion. The whole process cannot be completed in less than two months, and it is too late now. Moreover, moxa sticks are moxibustion materials, and moxibustion materials were banned by the country in 2017. The Food and Drug Administration has included Class II medical devices in the management, and private preparation will also be in trouble..."
Lu Mingzhen was a little disappointed. She lowered her head and took a deep breath. Then she raised her head and said, "Is there really no other way? Lu Cheng, if you are willing to help me, I have two family heirlooms for you to choose from. One is Yan Zhenqing's. Calligraphy, and an ancient incense burner. The calligraphy is kept in a bank safe and cannot be taken out. Let me show you the incense burner. Here, it is placed in the corner of the living room."
She got up and walked a few steps, walked to the corner and squatted down. She was so weak that she couldn't get up!
She sat on the floor, took a deep breath, and paused for a moment before saying: "This is not an ordinary incense burner, it is not a bronze or iron, but a gold. Look at the dense textures on it. I have studied a lot. I haven’t figured it out for years.”
Lu Cheng cast his Zhanzhang Qi Technique and glanced, only to see a golden light shooting straight to the roof!
"Oh! It's really a treasure! Aunt Lu, where did you get this treasure?"
Lu Mingzhen kept silent: "Lu Cheng, unless you can help me, I won't tell you."
Lu Cheng widened his eyes and looked at the complex texture on the surface of the incense burner, which was about a foot tall. He recognized a lot of runes in an instant, and thought to himself: "I didn't expect that this turned out to be a magical weapon handed down from ancient times! This magical weapon The utensil is so precious! It may be in the same line as the "Illustrated Stone Tomb"!"
Lu Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "I have some homemade bear bile powder, which should be effective against liver cancer. But it has not been clinically tested and has no approval from the Food and Drug Administration. You know the risks, I can give you capsules, But I don’t want to cause trouble.”
"The First Cause of All Realms"
Lu Mingzhen tried to stand up, swayed twice, and said: "Give me the capsule without leaving any text or video. There will be no trouble. Whether to use the capsule or not is my business. If anything happens, I will bear it. I My father is dying, so why are we afraid of taking risks?"
Lu Cheng took out 30 capsules and said: "One capsule every 8 hours, three capsules a day. This is a 10-day supply. Tell me the results after eating. If it works, this incense burner will be mine. Auntie, please forgive me. What I did is not because of my own control, but because I have never used bear bile powder after making it. I don’t know what effect it has. I just speculate based on the pharmacology of traditional Chinese medicine that it should be more effective in treating liver and gallbladder diseases. The strong effect is definitely much stronger than moxibustion. It involves a lot of risks. I am timid. Please keep it confidential and do not reveal the source of the bear bile powder. If others ask, I will not admit it. .”
Lu Mingzhen took the capsule, her eyes filled with hope, and said: "I know, I will keep it a secret for you. Just take the incense burner away. No matter what the result is, you have helped."
"Let's wait until the effect comes out. Auntie, I have to go back."
"Okay, I have to go to the hospital quickly."
The two of them went out one after another.
Lu Mingzhen came to the hospital and saw her old father Lu Wanjiang with a blue and black complexion, lying on the hospital bed and moaning non-stop.
Although I have taken analgesics, the late stage of liver cancer is still very difficult, including weight loss, swollen hands and feet, slurred speech, rapid heartbeat, fever, abdominal distension, diarrhea, and vomiting blood. The good thing is that I'm not unconscious yet.
Lv Mingzhen asked the nurse to help her, helped Lv Wanjiang up and fed him a capsule.
Then Lu Wanjiang lay down again. In the first two hours, he kept turning over, his face was distorted, and his whole body was twitching, which scared Lu Mingzhen to the core.
In any case, this is also a foreign drug. If it is a highly toxic drug that caused Lu Wanjiang's death, then this matter will be troublesome! After all, he was a retired senior official, so death from natural causes was different from death from poisoning. Even if she is her biological daughter, she cannot bear the responsibility!
Fortunately, two hours later, Lu Wanjiang's condition improved greatly and he fell asleep peacefully!
Lu Mingzhen gave her father medicine at four o'clock in the afternoon. She didn't dare to pretend to be someone else. She stayed by the hospital bed herself and watched her father sleep from 6 to 11 o'clock. When he woke up, his complexion improved greatly, and she felt relieved. .
She served her father something to eat, waited until it was close to 12 o'clock, and fed him another capsule before going home to rest.
Early the next morning, she came again.
At this time, Lu Wanjiang looked better and could sit up and eat breakfast by himself.
"Mingzhen, what medicine did you give me? I feel warm all over. It feels very comfortable, as if I'm not sick."
Lu Mingzhen said: "Dad, I got a capsule and gave it to you at a great risk. I didn't expect it to be really effective."
"What capsule?"
"Dad, I promise to keep it a secret. Don't ask about the capsules, and don't tell the doctor. Just take the medicine regularly. One pill every 8 hours, don't miss it."
"Daughter, you have worked too hard. Give me the capsule. I will control it myself and take the medicine on time."
"Not yet, your condition is not stable yet."
Three days later, Lu Wanjiang's condition improved. His body temperature returned to normal, his heartbeat dropped to 72 beats per minute, there was no diarrhea or hematemesis, and he slept peacefully.
Doctors tested and found that the enlarged liver had shrunk a bit. The surface of the liver was originally uneven and had many nodules of varying sizes. At this time, the tumor nodules were inexplicably reduced by 30%!
The doctor asked the nursing staff and the patient's family members, but found nothing unusual and thought it was strange.
Seeing that her father's condition had stabilized, Lu Mingzhen took out a few capsules for her father to take.
At the same time, she drove herself to deliver the incense burner to Qingquan Villa.
"The capsules work! Thank you very much! Lu Cheng, can you give me a few more capsules? I'm afraid ten days' dosage is not enough."
Lu Cheng gave her dozens more pills: "Auntie, do a checkup 10 days and 20 days after eating. If the cancer cells disappear, don't eat so much. Just take one pill every month."
Lu Mingzhen smiled and said, "I remember."
"Where did your incense burner come from?"
"Someone gave it to my father. I will tell you the address, and you must keep it secret from me."
"definitely."
"Yan Shizhen."
"What is that place?"
"Go check it yourself!"
After Lu Mingzhen left, Lu Cheng checked online and found out that it was the site of Shun Geng Lishan. Needless to say, the incense burner was unearthed from the ruins, so this matter was a bit taboo. No wonder Lu Mingzhen refused to say it clearly.
Shun had a surname of Yu, surnamed Yao, given name Chonghua, and courtesy name Chengdu. After Yujun, he was passed down as a virtuous and sage king through the generations, and Sima Qian was listed as one of the Five Emperors. Later generations think of his merits and yearn for his legacy. Therefore, traces of him can be found everywhere, and legends can be heard everywhere. However, the most concentrated and common place is Juancheng County, Shandong Province.
"Historical Records" records: "Shun cultivated Lishan, Yuleize, and Taohebin." Juancheng not only has Yao Xu, Lishan, Leize and Hebin recorded in the "Four Books", "Five Classics", "Zhuzi Baijia" and other documents, but also has the grandfather's house and aunt's house which are said to be related to Shun. The address of the blood relative’s hometown.
The Temple of Emperor Yu in Lishan was built at the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty and was finally completed in 1967. It lasted for more than 1,900 years. It has far-reaching influence, magnificent sacred sites, and people's cherished hearts.
According to ancient temple stele records, temples and stele construction began during the Guangwu period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and restorations were carried out in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Northern Wei Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty. The existing buildings include the Shun Palace, the Sleeping Palace, the Sanhuang Hall, the Ku Nai Nai Temple, the Longquan Shun Well Pavilion, the surrounding courtyard walls, the mountain gate and the office of the preparatory committee. In 2006, it was approved as a "Provincial Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit".
Lu Cheng thought to himself: "Is this because Emperor Shun stayed and got the incense burner? Emperor Shun was not only a human emperor, but also a 'Witch Emperor' with great wisdom, otherwise he would not be able to gain a foothold in ancient society."
He picked up the incense burner and looked at it carefully to identify the runes on it.
This is a gold artifact, and like his golden dagger, it is engraved with many runes.
Lu Cheng already knew a lot of runes, so he recognized them quickly.
There are 40 runes on the outside of the incense burner and 20 runes on the inside.
The rune on the outside is: "The red pine swims above it, and the golden furnace draws the auspicious smoke. The dragon snakes coil below it, melting and dragging the nine states. When the festival is in the south, the star is in the north star sky. Thousands of officials hope to grow up, and all countries worship Han Yuan .”
Looking at the runes inside, it is: "On the first day of Yanggu's movement, the golden furnace emits royal smoke. Baihe spits out the clear night, and fragrant orchids are everywhere."
Lu Cheng thought to himself: "That's not a small statement! It sounds like this treasure is very powerful. I don't know what its use is."
He did not dare to recite these runes for fear of touching the spell and causing unexpected changes, which could destroy the villa at worst, or level Qianfo Mountain to the ground.
Lu Cheng suppressed his excitement and put away the incense burner, waiting for a chance to try it in the deserted wilderness.
Another week later, 80% of Lu Wanjiang's cancer cells had disappeared. The tenderness in the liver was gone, the edges were neat, the nodules were almost invisible, the bulging abdomen was gone, and all indicators had improved tremendously.
According to expert doctors, his liver cancer has reversed from late stage to early stage and can continue chemotherapy!
Lu Wanjiang refused chemotherapy and stayed in the hospital for a while. Two weeks later, his cancer cells had completely disappeared and he was discharged from the hospital and went home!
The doctors were all surprised and puzzled. They chased Lu Wanjiang and asked, but they couldn't get an answer.
Lu Mingzhen was in a very happy mood. She exchanged a useless incense burner for her father's life and felt that she had made a big profit. Such an incense burner cannot be sold unless it is melted and sold for gold. She didn't recognize the runes on it, but because of the runes, it could easily be judged to be an unearthed cultural relic.
She was reluctant to give away Yan Zhenqing's copybook, and felt that she owed a favor, so she called Lu Cheng to ask if there was anything else she needed.
Lu Cheng thought for a while and said: "Next door to the villa where I live, there is a three-acre piece of land owned by the Qianfoshan Garden Management Bureau. I want to take it and plant medicinal herbs. I have some money, but I have no connections. "
After hearing this, Lu Mingzhen said cheerfully: "I'll find a way."
Qingquan Villa is a villa area with a total of more than 30 villas developed.
The land that Lu Cheng was talking about was located outside the villa area, and the developers were unable to acquire it back then.
Although Lu Wanjiang is a retired senior official, he has wide connections, especially his secretary who is holding an important position in the provincial government.
Three acres of land is not a large amount of land. As long as Lu Cheng agrees not to build a house on the ground, it is still easy to grow herbs.
The commercial land in Quancheng is 300,000 yuan per acre. Lu Cheng paid 1 million yuan and took the land into his name.
The whole process took a month.
Lu Cheng then surrounded the land with a wooden fence as high as one person, connected it with his villa, and turned it into a private garden.
There was originally a row of iron fences about ten feet high around the villa area of Qingquan Villa. Lu Cheng opened a door on the iron fence and walked out of the door into his garden.
He planted elixirs brought back from other worlds in the garden, such as yarrow, licorice, and muskwort. Although there were only a few plants, they were perennial plants and would gradually spread outward. In addition, persimmon trees and pomegranate trees were transplanted to corners.
Facts have proved that there is a revival of spiritual energy at the foot of Qianfo Mountain, and these spiritual plants are growing very well.
