At this time, Bao Yongshi, Bao Maoying and Dong Pai all knelt on the ground and respectfully said, "Earth Immortal Pei Shi En, we kowtow to you." It's just that Bao Maoying added some words of gratitude, "Great God, you cured my father and I's headaches. It's really a great kindness!" We have nothing to offer in return.
Three pilgrims are exempted from the gift. Earth Immortal Pei Shi'en's voice clearly rose into the air again, Bao Maoying, don't thank me, your situation is special, just listen to my advice and cooperate well, everything will be fine. Bao Yongshi, your headache is not really cured yet. You must also listen to my instructions, release more animals, cherish them, protect them, and fight for your evil obstacles - the turtle hidden in your head. Spirit forgives you. As long as it forgives you and leaves you, your headache will be gone.
Today, your headache should have recurred, because the turtle spirit that I injected with anesthetic yesterday has woken up today. The reason why it is lying dormant is because you took your daughter and son-in-law to Jinse City to buy turtles and release them. Yes, it is thinking of your kind deed and has not retaliated against you for the time being. If it wants to retaliate against you, it will make a commotion. The more the commotion becomes, the more severe the pain will be for you. The fact that the turtle spirit did not retaliate against you today does not mean that it will not retaliate against you in the future. Its original body, the living turtle, died at your instigation after all. It is very difficult for it not to resent you and leave you.
What to do? Bao Yongshi, who asked the question, put his head in his hands and looked frustrated.
However, there is a way. You can ask the monks in this temple to chant sutras for you to save the turtle spirit and let it leave your head. Then you will be fine. But in the future, we must persist in releasing animals and do more good deeds. Otherwise, if you heal the scar and forget about the pain, you will do bad things again. If you have a bad idea, even if the turtle spirit leaves you, there is no guarantee that the snake spirit, chicken spirit, or dog spirit will haunt you again, which will be even more troublesome. The sounds in the air were heard clearly, but the old man's figure was not visible.
Bao Yongshi glanced at the sky, then lay on the ground and kowtowed a few times, then picked up the bag of fruit beside him and said, "Master, I am giving you this gift, how do you accept it?"
No, no, take this bag of fruit into the Mahavira Hall and offer it to the Buddha and Bodhisattva! That way, there's still some merit. If you give it to me, there will be no merit whatsoever.
OK! Bao Yongshi listens to you.
At that moment, Bao Yongshi stood up and picked up a bag of fruit. The monk led him and his daughter and son-in-law, each holding incense and candles, towards the extremely solemn and sacred Mahavira Hall.
Earthly Immortal Pei Shi'en usually not only meditates in the Ma'anshan temple, but also goes down to the mountains to walk among the people whenever he has free time. He often cures the illnesses of those who have not recovered for a long time. Once, he rode a mountain breeze out of Ma'anshan and arrived at a village named Qian five kilometers away. When he arrived at the entrance of the village, he heard someone moaning in pain. He followed the sound to a house and opened the door. When I looked in the main room, I saw a tall, thick-set middle-aged man sitting on a wooden bench with dull eyes.
His whole body was covered with leech sores. There were hard lumps on his arms, neck, and chest. They were turbid in color and some were suppurating. Xu Shi felt itchy and uncomfortable, so he couldn't help it and kept scratching it with his nails. It can be seen from his frowning expression that if he is scratched hard, it will hurt; if he is scratched lightly, it will not stop itching.
The Earth Immortal Pei Shi'en sympathized with him very much and planned to show up in human form and directly inquire about the middle-aged man's condition, and then give him the right medicine. Thinking about it carefully, it's inappropriate. Once I cure his illness, he will ask me for reward just like the Bao family.
At this moment, Earth Immortal Pei Shi'en leaned sideways, slammed the door with both hands, and shouted, Qian's doorkeeper, come out quickly. Suddenly, a round-faced man with a leopard head and a large forehead flashed out of the door, cupping his hands and saying, "What do you want to see the little god for?" Earth Immortal Pei Shi'en didn't answer him. He only said, "Door God, you have neglected your duty. As a stranger, Pei came to your door, and you didn't know how to stop him. Isn't this a deaf ear - just for decoration?"
The door god raised his hand to cover his nose, turned around and said to the middle-aged man sitting in the main room, my master Qian Bujin was covered in locust sores, which were so rotten and stinky that he smelled so bad that he appeared in my sight. If he was inside, I would simply hide in the door and not show up; if he walked away and went to the back room, I would come out and look after the door. Even if you look at me hiding in the door, I will know which ghost or god is coming. I'll take care of it if I need to. If I can't control it, there's nothing I can do about it.
Earth Immortal Pei Shi'en asked, "What do you mean by this?" The door god said that last time a ghost dressed as a foreigner came and I couldn't stop him. He came into the house with a basket of leech and threw it directly on my master Qian Bujin. I didn't know the reason. I asked him and he just said He said that Qian Bujin had offended him. As for how I offended him, I don't know.
I thought: If the ghost hadn't thrown locusts on him, he wouldn't have had locust sores on his body. But I heard the couple discussing together that the locust sores on his body seemed to be related to the poisonous gas from touching the ancient objects.
Earth Immortal Pei Shi'en took over, I was just about to ask about this, please tell me. So the door god explained what he knew about the situation——
This has to do with the fact that in the second half of last year, the Ma'anshan Town Government mobilized villagers to build a village-level highway passing through a section of the cemetery. At that time, everyone worked hard to pick up the tomb and lifted the tombstone "hehehehe". After working for a while, they were all covered in sweat and sat down to rest.
When Qian Bujin was full of energy and took away the third tombstone, his left foot collapsed and fell into a hole. There was sewage in it and his shoes were soaked. When his left foot sank in, he clearly felt that there was something hard inside, but there was no sound.
After this trip, he returned to the cemetery, found the hole, put his hand in and touched carefully, and found ancient coins, weapons and unknown antiques.
So he found a snakeskin bag to put those items in and carried them to the road construction site near the market town for everyone to browse. The village director said that this is a cultural relic and should be sent to the local cultural relics exhibition hall. Qian Bujin followed the "instructions" of the village director and received a reward of 100 yuan. He asked the village director whether he should keep the money or hand it over. The village director said it was up to you.
Qian Bujin said, although I have discovered this ancient relic, I will not be able to find it unless everyone digs up the grave. It stands to reason that everyone has a share of the 100 yuan. Qian Bujin used the money to buy several kilograms of pork to reward everyone. When the cadres and the masses looked at Qian Bujin with gratitude, Qian Bujin smiled, but felt that the arm touching the ancient objects was a little itchy. He scratched it with his fingers, and a faint red spot appeared.
After a while, the itchy finger also became itchy, so he rubbed it with sand. No one else noticed this action. Even if they saw it, they thought he was doing it for fun.
Then, he continued to work for a few more days, and the arm that had touched the ancient objects turned red like a shrimp. Others asked him how he did this, and Qian Bujin told the truth, regretting that he should not have touched the ancient relic. As he spoke, he took off one of his shoes to show his feet, which were also slightly red and swollen. He said that if the foot stepped on the hole where the antiquities were hidden, it would bring bad luck.
Go to the hospital quickly and get some medicine to wash it off. Well-meaning people advised him. He came to the health center and the doctor gave him an anti-inflammatory shot. After applying the medicine, applying it, and taking it orally, not only was there no effect after ten and a half months, but the toxicity spread all over the body, like locusts taking over the body.
At this time, the doctor said with some fear: Master Qian, our medicine and medical equipment are not complete and the conditions are limited. You should go to the city hospital for treatment!
In order not to delay medical treatment, Qian Bujin immediately took a farm vehicle into Jinse City. Others in the car smelled a smell emanating from him, so most of them covered their noses or kept their distance from him. Qian Bujin himself was troubled and hoped to be cured quickly, but he went to a dermatology specialist in a hospital in the city to see a doctor. The medicine prescribed by the doctor was similar to the medicine he had used before, and the medicine was very expensive.
After returning home, he washed, wiped and took medicine regularly according to the doctor's instructions, but the effect was not good. The stripes on his body became thicker and thicker. He was itchy and uncomfortable, and sometimes he couldn't sleep all night. If you scratch your hands too hard, pus will flow from the sores. Reluctantly, he went to the city hospital where he had seen a doctor last time. The doctor put on a mask and examined him again. The prescription he prescribed could not clarify what kind of skin disease it was, so he was told to go to the provincial hospital for examination.
This skin disease was so nasty that his family kept a distance from him, and his wife began sleeping in a separate bed from him. Some people commented privately: Isn't this leprosy? The neighbors were so suspicious and frightened that they even stopped visiting his house, and they did not dare to borrow anything from his house, thinking that everything Qian Bujin had touched contained bacteria to prevent infection.
