Late one night three years ago, Yan Ruyu, an employee at the Nanmen Beauty Salon in Jinse City who was perming people's hair, returned to her dormitory and just fell asleep when she saw an old man in white descending from the sky and waving to her. Yan Ruyu couldn't help but follow the old man, and when they arrived at a palace with splendid golden walls, the old man introduced himself as the Immortal Hua Tuo, and had a master-disciple relationship with Miss Yan.
From then on, whenever Yan Ruyu fell asleep at night, her soul would automatically go to Master. The master taught her the technique of feeling the pulse for three hours every night and taught her medical principles.
When she first started studying medicine, her master gave her a pill to eat. From then on, her memory doubled and she developed a wonderful confidence in Taoism. Because she works in a beauty salon, Yan Ruyu comes into contact with many people every day. When she encounters people with long-term illnesses such as colds, rheumatism, headaches, etc., she uses the secret recipe taught by her master to teach the patients how to try it, and the results are miraculous.
Hua Tuo Xianweng not only taught her exquisite medical skills, but also taught her to be strict with herself and not to be greedy for money. It is said that treating people is purely to save suffering. If you are greedy for money when saving suffering, you are taking advantage of others' danger and must be punished.
Once, a rheumatism patient who had not been cured for a long time came to Yan Ruyu to write a prescription for the medicine and it was miraculous. Three days later, the man brought about a pound of longan to express his gratitude. At that time, Yan Ruyu said that my master would not allow me to accept the gift of thanks. Unexpectedly, the man ran out of the gate and went back as soon as he put the longan away, and Yan Ruyu couldn't catch up.
That night, Immortal Hua Tuo came to teach her pharmacology again, but when he saw her, he was surprised and scolded her, "Disciple, you are greedy today. You can see that there is a foul breath on the left side of your mouth. You can't teach her today, you can't teach her."
From then on, when patients came to ask for prescriptions, Yan Ruyu would make it clear first that no gifts or red envelopes were allowed, and that the secret formula would have miraculous effects. After that, she realized that if a person did something wrong, it would be reflected on their face, because ordinary people couldn't observe it without the discernment. If a person does something wrong, it cannot be hidden from heaven and earth.
Besides, after Hua Tuo Xianweng said that, he was about to leave when he suddenly heard a "Dudu" knock on the door. Yan Ruyu went to open the door, and saw an old man with gray hair and a childlike face standing in front of him, cupping his hands and saying, Miss Yan, excuse me. Earth Immortal Pei Shi'en learned from the City God that Immortal Hua Tuo taught you medicine at your place, so he came to visit you.
The Immortal Hua Tuo greeted him and returned the gift. While Yan Ruyu was making tea, the Earth Immortal Pei Shi'en explained to him the reason why he came to pay for Qian Bujin, who was suffering from leech sores and was in urgent need of an effective prescription. Immortal Hua Tuo called Yan Ruyu to come over and asked the Earth Immortal Pei Shi'en to repeat it. Then he asked, disciple, what prescription should you prescribe for a disease like highly poisonous locust sore?
Yan Ruyu said, I really don’t know. Master, you haven’t taught me how to treat this kind of disease. Hua Tuo Xianweng immediately signaled her to get a pen and paper and wrote out a recipe. Yan Ruyu read it and handed it to Earth Immortal Pei Shi'en. Earth Immortal Pei Shi'en turned around and thanked Immortal Hua Tuo.
Immortal Hua Tuo looked at him and said, "In your past life, you were also a good doctor. You treated people for less money, and you treated poor patients for free. You once cured a man who was covered with sores." I also used this recipe for my illness, but after a few lifetimes, you don’t remember it. You can become an Earth Immortal only by cultivating the Yin Kung Fu accumulated over many generations.
Earth Immortal Pei Shi'en smiled and said, Master, thank you! I think the prescription you prescribed is also a fairy prescription! It really didn't feel unfamiliar, but rather familiar.
That hot midday, Qian Bujin was lying on the bamboo bed soaked in sweat, rubbing his hands over the locust sores all over his body, looking like he was in pain. His wife sat next to him, covering her nose with one hand and fanning him with a big cattail leaf fan in the other. We muttered, we cut down the toon tree in front of the door, made a coffin, and buried the remains of Yao Bao Bao of the Song Dynasty. This was considered a big mistake to him. Why is it that it has no effect at all now? The locust sores on your body are still not getting better.
It turns out that Qian Bujin and his wife had the same dream a few days ago: an old man with gray hair and a childish face said that Qian Bujin had offended Yao Baobao, a member of Ma'anshan in the Song Dynasty. When the road was being built to retrieve his tomb, his body was not buried but was thrown away casually. He was thrown under a ridge by the roadside. For this reason, Yao Baobu's ghost blamed Qian Bujin and threw a basket of locusts on him, causing his body to be covered with locust sores.
In the dream, Qian Bujin asked if this disease could be cured? The old man said that if you pick up Yao Bao's remains and bury them properly, and build a new tomb for him, your illness may be cured without treatment.
After waking up, Qian Bujin and his wife did what the old man said in his dream. But after everything was done, Qian Bujin's condition did not improve at all after a few days, and even his wife was complaining.
At this moment, she muttered, and Qian Bujin sighed and said, I regretted it. I shouldn't have listened to the old man in the dream. The poisonous gas of locust sores on my body can be cured. I can only wait to die. You really shouldn't cut down the toon tree in front of your door to make a coffin and bury a pile of bones that can be beaten with drums. It's meaningless. Now I'm in trouble. If I die of illness, what kind of wood will be used to build a coffin to bury me? You can't dig a hole and fill it with soil directly!
After saying words full of resentment for a while, Qian Bujin fell asleep in a daze. In a trance, he saw an old man with gray hair and childish face walking up to him and said, "Qian fortune teller, I've come here to teach you a recipe for treating poisons and removing sores. I got this from the Immortal Hua Tuo. You can follow this recipe." After taking medicine, the locust sores all over his body are expected to recover.
Qian Bujin was angry and wanted to choke the old man with something: Last time, you said that Yao Bao's ghost blamed me, and asked our couple to do as you asked, but my locust sores are not getting better; what do you say this time? , I don’t even believe it. Before Qian Bujin could speak, the old man handed over the prescription written on the paper and asked him to read it carefully.
Qian Bujin remembered this recipe and was about to ask the old man, is this recipe feasible? Only to find that the old man disappeared as soon as he turned around. Qian Bujin wanted to take the medicine according to the prescription and try it, but suddenly he woke up and had a dream.
The wife was sitting on a chair and taking a nap. Qian Bujin woke her up and told her that the old man he had dreamed about last time taught him a recipe to prepare medicine to treat sores. The wife was surprised and said that she had also dreamed of the old man when she fell asleep just now. The prescriptions mentioned are generally the same as those given by my husband.
What kind of prescription can cure Qian Bujin's sores?
The wife followed the instructions of the old man in the dream and picked up several weights of unburned lime from the lime kiln, mixed it with water in a wooden bucket and soaked it. After six hours, the lime settled and a pool of clear water appeared in the bucket. Then she scooped the water into a white porcelain bowl and gave it to her husband to drink.
Before, I said uneasily: Brother Qian, if you take this water soaked in lime and it fails to cure the sores and poisons you to death, I will go to jail.
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. If I am poisoned to death by the water soaked in lime, I will be free and I will never harm you. As he spoke, Qian Bujin asked his wife to get a pen and paper and write a line: I committed suicide by taking poison and it has nothing to do with others. Qian Bujin emphasized: If I die, these will be my last words. What else do you have to worry about?
The wife took the note with "last words" and tore it up. She cried and said: I don't believe you will die if you drink half a bowl of water soaked with lime. It’s too late to excuse me, so why bother thinking the worst and saying all the unlucky things?
What his wife said made sense. Qian Bujin took the bowl and drank the smaller half of the lime-soaked water. The wife asked: Do you feel good or not? He wiped his mouth and said: It feels good and I want to drink it. The wife said: Drink according to the old man's instructions and don't drink too much.
The lime-soaked water really worked. After drinking it for three days, the locust sores on Qian Bujin's body faded away layer by layer. After drinking it for a week, his body was no longer so itchy and uncomfortable, and the stripes of locust sores were gone. Scabs began to form, and the hard layer slowly collapsed and softened. After one month of treatment with this therapy, the locust sores were basically eliminated. Qian Bujin’s original ulcerated sores scabbed and new muscles grew, leaving no scars!
