After a moment of dullness, Wenshi kowtowed and said, "Three years is all. Please ask the Taoist to bring you the Ersheng Dan." The Taoist said, "You must think clearly. If you take the medicine, you will only have three years to live." "Mo If you say three years, you can live for three more days, and I am willing to live for three more hours," Wen said with tears streaming down her face. The old woman Wu Shi was moved and cried bitterly: "My dear daughter-in-law, I am sorry for you. If I hadn't poisoned you, there would have been no disaster today." Wen Shi also cried bitterly and admitted her mistake: "I made a big mistake too. I regret that I should have quarreled with my mother-in-law." , causing the husband to suffer."
The Taoist took out the porcelain bottle from his arms and took out the Ersheng Dan. I saw that the elixir was completely white, and it also shone with white spiritual light at night, and the fairy fragrance spread throughout the house. "It is indeed a fairy medicine. Even with this color and fragrance, just smelling it makes you feel energetic and relaxed. It seems that Xiaofeng Tong is saved." Zui Liangtu said happily.
After putting the elixir into the bowl, Wushi and Wenshi cut their palms with knives and soaked them with blood. After being fed with blood, the elixir sublimated as expected, and the fragrance increased a hundred times. Everyone present seemed to be several years younger when they smelled it. The Taoist didn't waste any time, opened Xiaofeng Tong's mouth and fed the elixir into it.
At the entrance of the elixir, everyone waited patiently. After a while, Xiaofengtong's body was filled with golden light, and his fairy spirit was flowing. The dead body began to show color, and the breath and heartbeat slowly recovered. Zui Liang was stunned. He had been treating illnesses all his life and had never seen a real elixir for the living dead in the world. After a while, Xiaofeng Tong's face returned to normal, and he got up from the ground as if he had woken up from a big dream.
Wu Shi and Wen Shi cried with joy and stepped forward to ask Xiao Fengtong if he felt unwell. Xiao Fengtong scratched his head in confusion: "I was just a little confused, as if I had just woken up. I remember that I was poisoned, and I was frustrated, so I threw myself into the well. My soul was wandering in the underworld, why suddenly a whirlwind came and dragged me Come back. What's going on?" "Husband, it's all my fault. I will be filial to my mother-in-law and won't quarrel with you in the future. You must never seek death again." Wen Shi cried even harder after hearing this and hugged her The husband confessed. "Me too, my son is kind and loving, how dare he abandon my mother. I must never do this in the future, otherwise I will not be able to live." Wu Shi also cried.
Xiaofeng died together, and when he saw that his mother and beloved wife had changed their minds, he was moved to tears and cried: "I won't die, I won't die. I won't die anymore. From now on, our family will be happy and happy, and there will be no more trouble."
After everything was done, the Taoist took the disciple back to the guest room. The drunken disciple also followed him, looking coy and making empty remarks, unwilling to leave. Xuan Yi said displeasedly: "Old man, if you have anything to say, just say it quickly. We are sleepy and don't have time to chatter with you."
The drunken disciple blushed slightly: "This Taoist disciple is really cute. Let me tell you straight. I have long heard that there is an elixir of immortality in the Immortal Sect. In the past, it was just a legend. Now that I have seen the Taoist Ersheng Dan, it can bring the dead back to life. It's really It's an eye-opener. I have been studying medicine for eighty years, so I naturally dream of this kind of elixir for the living dead. I wonder if there is a secret recipe for this elixir. If I can know a little bit about it, then I will be satisfied with my death."
The Taoist smiled slightly: "Of course. I will write it for you right now." After that, he took the pen and ink and wrote out the formula.
The drunk disciple happily received it in his hand. After reading it, he raised his head with confusion and said: "I have never seen the medicine in this prescription before. A piece of bodhicitta, a drop of compassionate tears, a cup of infinite spring of eternal life, a piece of yin and yang." Harmony and Qi, a portion of Taixuan Bliss Fruit. Where can I find these five herbs?" The Taoist shook his head slightly: "You don't need to look for what you know, and you can't find what you don't know. Senior, if you have the ability to refine the elixir of longevity, I plan to What are you doing with this medicine?" "Of course it is to save all sentient beings and cure all difficult diseases in the world." Zui Liangtu replied without thinking.
"You are trying to defy heaven. Can water flow from low to high? Can plants grow fruits first and then bloom? Can the sun only rise but not set? Of course it cannot. Human birth, aging, illness and death are also irreversible by nature. How can you change the process with a pill?" Taoist.
"However, this is the duty of doctors. We doctors hope that the world will be disease-free and that people can be freed from birth, aging, illness and death. Don't you Taoist priests also want to become immortals, attain enlightenment, and achieve eternal life and bliss?" Zui Liangtu asked in confusion.
"That's not the case. Taoist priests only seek shortcuts and return to their simple nature. They do not pursue changing life spans or escaping from space. Heaven and earth are the same, but they are just different in form. Life and death are just changes in form. There is no real disappearance or real disappearance. There is nothing to be happy or sad about in existence. As for the immortality of flying immortals, that is even more of a misunderstanding by fools."
"Little Taoist Priest, this is an unusual theory. But isn't it true that those in the Immortal Sect move mountains and seas, live for thousands of years, and travel in the three realms?"
"It's just obsession. Fish swim in the water, birds soar in the sky, and animals chase each other in the grasslands and forests. This is the environment they should be in. But if there is a person, he can run on land and dive underwater. He can fly high in the sky, even walk in the underworld, and soar in the fairy sky. So why is he like this? Because he is confused and can't find his peaceful place. He can only turn himself into a running beast, underwater The fish and turtles in the sky, the birds in the sky, the ghosts in the netherworld, and the capable people in the immortal sky. But these are not the place of bliss, but proof of his even more emptiness and incompetence."
"Ah! I'm a little confused and can't understand this. Then shouldn't we medical students pursue higher medical skills?"
"Sir, people call him a miracle doctor, but let me ask you this. If a person is born with a disability, such as blindness, deformity, or a broken leg, are you sure of the cure?"
"Most of the diseases caused by the fetus have no treatment, and I can only cure less than 10% of them."
"Then if someone is mentally or mentally ill, can Sir, be able to cure it? For example, do you have any way to cure the enmity between Mrs. Tongkezhan and her daughter-in-law?"
"This is not easy to cure. Heart disease requires heart medicine. This is not something that can be easily cured by medicine."
"Then have you ever encountered a patient who has been cured but has an attack again and again, lasting for many years?"
"Yes, and there are many of them. Most of them have bad habits and a bad living environment. The root causes of their diseases have not been eliminated. Medicines and stones can solve their temporary pain, but they cannot eradicate their diseases."
"So, Sir, do you know the origin of these three diseases? The diseases brought in the womb are the difficulties in life. The mental and psychological problems are the diseases in the nature. The good and the bad are repeated, and they are caused by habits. In this way, how many diseases can really be cured? I'm afraid it's less than 50%. Can diseases born on that day be cured by changing one's life? Can diseases in one's nature be cured by changing one's nature? ? Do you need to change your habits if you have a disease in your habits? If you take a medicine, the disease in your destiny will be cured, but your life will not change; the disease in your nature will be cured, but your nature will not change; the disease caused by bad habits will be cured No, the bad habits are still there. So do you think this elixir is really good? It just increases people's chances of accumulating karma."
"Diseases in the body are easy to cure, but diseases in the sex and heart are difficult to cure, and diseases in life are even more difficult to cure. In this way, there is really very little that doctors can do."
"Don't give up greed and regard the body as the root of happiness. This is the root of the disease. Only when you indulge in long-term pleasure will you think that short life is wrong. The greedy snake opens its mouth and wants to swallow the elephant in one gulp. , and was trampled into a meat pie. It thought it was because it was not big enough, but it didn’t know that arrogant greed was the root cause. If you want to cure everyone in the world, you must cure everyone’s greed. Only desire can do it. Otherwise, even if there is a pill that can make people immortal, it will only be a greater disaster."
"The Taoist Master's words are really like bells and drums on the mountain, grand and soul-stirring. I am a little confused and can't distinguish clearly. Tonight, I will take my leave first." Zui Liangzi looked like he was lost, leaning on crutches, and left with a sigh. Room.
"Master, you scared the old man. Anyway, it's okay, if you scare the old man away, we can rest peacefully." Xuan Yi said with a yawn. "Don't sleep, pack your things. I'll leave a letter to the owner of the village, and we'll be on our way right away." The Taoist wrote a letter while writing. "Ah! I'm not sleeping anymore. Master, why are you like this? We agreed to stay in a hotel tonight, but I haven't had enough sleep on this big soft bed." Xuan Yi lay down on the bed and said unhappily. "Xuan Yi, don't you want to learn your skills? The Tongshan Town ahead specializes in magic weapons, and the streets are full of fun things. Let's go early so we can play for a while and buy you some learning tools." "Ah. , Really? That’s great, then hurry up and go, I like shopping the most.” Xuan suddenly became energetic and packed up his things hurriedly.
The Taoist left the letter and left the Mutong Inn with his two disciples through the gate.
Early the next morning, Xiaofeng and his family went to the guest room to thank Taoist for saving his life yesterday. Unexpectedly, the person has disappeared. There is only one letter and three scriptures on the table. Xiao Fengtong picked up the letter and read:
Blessings are immeasurable! The Taoist leader is the leader. The owner of the village forgave him, but he left the path rudely. I had heard long ago that there was a great benevolent person in Xiaoqing Town, so I passed by to pay my respects. Today I met the owner of the village, who was indeed kind and kind. Now that the village owner's longevity has been reduced, he has his own positive virtues to make up for it. He left his young apprentice to hand-copy three chapters of "The True View of Heaven and Earth", "The First View of Heaven and the Way of Heaven", and "The Scripture of Heaven's Way". Daily recitation can increase yang virtue. Knowing that the owner of the village longs for purity in the mountains and forests, the Taoist admonishes him that purity in the mountains is better, and practice in the world is more true. A good person upholds Buddhism, often sits at night and sleeps less, has a feminine personality, and likes to hide things and not talk to others, which leads to suspicion between the couple and imbalance of yin and yang. If this is changed in the future, the husband and wife will naturally be harmonious and have children. That being said, everything happens as it happens. The blessings are immeasurable, the Tao transformation is immeasurable, and the power is immeasurable. The Taoist will bow his head again.
After reading the letter, Xiaofeng and his men on horseback searched in all directions for more than ten miles, but there was no trace of the Taoist master and disciple. Returning home, I was filled with emotions. Later, charity halls were opened widely, but relief was difficult. A year later, the Xiao family gave birth to a son, and later a second son and a second daughter. Seven years later, the old lady Wushi passed away. Thanks to the Taoist's kindness, Xiaofengtong built a "Holy Taoist Temple" next to the Mutong Inn to enshrine the statues of the Taoist and his two disciples and spread the Taoist's deeds widely.
