"A great dream for a thousand years."
"What night is it tonight?"
Yi Ning frowned slightly and opened his eyes with difficulty, his vision gradually coming into focus.
In the field of vision, there is still the familiar small stone house.
The stone house was square, with no doors, no windows, and no furniture except for a candle that never went out on the ground.
"This is already my fifth dream since I came here."
Yi Ning sighed softly, picked up the candle on the ground, and used the bottom of the candle to write and draw on the floor.
He looked serious and wrote eight big characters one stroke at a time.
[The fifth dream, Medicine Sage, Li Shizhen].
After writing these words, he looked upward again.
[The first dream, the medical ancestor, Bian Que. ]
[The second dream, the medical sage, Zhang Zhongjing. ]
[The third dream, the miracle doctor, Hua Tuo. ]
[The fourth dream, Medicine King, Sun Simiao. ]
These are all recorded by Yi Ning every time she wakes up from a dream.
And above the first dream, there is a paragraph of text.
[My name is Yi Ning, a native of Earth, and a terminal liver cancer patient. I should be dead, and I will be here when I wake up. ]
In the stone house, Yi Ning touched every name with his hand. For him, these six rows of characters were equivalent to six lifetimes.
In the sixth life he was a human being, in one life he was a patient, and in the fifth life he was a doctor.
"Who will dream next?"
Yi Ning spoke softly, then slowly closed his eyes, calmly waiting for the next dream to come, and he even had some expectations in his heart.
Just when he closed his eyes, an old and majestic voice suddenly sounded in the stone house.
"Yi Ning, there is no next dream."
Who is calling me!
This sudden sound made Yi Ning open his eyes suddenly, and his eyes flashed with light.
After arriving in this space, other voices finally appeared!
At this time, Yi Ning had too many questions to ask, such as who are you? Where is this? Were you the one who locked me up here? etc.
But thousands of words came to his throat, and in the end he just showed a look of regret: "Is there no next dream?"
If there is no next dream, maybe I will really die this time.
In fact, I have experienced five wonderful lives, which is not a loss!
If I have to say regret, it may be that I only have five generations of Chinese medicine skills, but I can't bless the world, and I can't pass on the unique knowledge to the saints. It's a pity.
Just like that, the stone house returned to peace.
After an unknown amount of time, the old voice sounded again.
"If you are not strong-willed, it will eventually be difficult to achieve your goal. Keep pursuing whatever your heart desires!"
After saying this, the candle flame burst out with bright light, and an old man made of light gradually appeared!
Yi Ning was not too surprised by the magical scene in front of him. Life in the dream had already made him feel in a state of mind that was beyond ordinary people.
He just raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the old man in front of him.
The old man wore straw sandals and linen trousers, and his upper body was covered with a white cloth cloud shoulder. One side of the cloud shoulder was embroidered with mountains, rivers and vegetation, and the other side was embroidered with densely packed text. These words looked like oracle bone inscriptions, which Yi Ning did not recognize.
"The merit accumulated over several lifetimes is enough. Do you want to live another life?" the old man asked.
"Of course I want to live." Yi Ning did not hesitate.
The old man seemed to have known what Yi Ning wanted to say. He asked in a deep voice: "Why do you practice medicine?"
Why practice medicine?
Yi Ning pinched her chin and began to think.
After so many lifetimes, practicing medicine seems to have become part of my instinct. So what is the original intention of studying medicine?
Bian Que couldn't bear the people dying in the war, so he switched from business to medicine.
Li Shizhen was influenced by her father's family and loved medicine since she was a child.
What about yourself?
"Don't worry, think about it before answering." The old man waited quietly.
Yi Ning suddenly remembered his first life.
He recalled that he was diagnosed with liver cancer, his parents were in tears, and his parents had black hair like snow overnight.
He recalled that when he was in his terminal stage, he was lying on the hospital bed and his life was worse than death. His family spent all their savings to treat him.
Thinking of this, tears began to flash in Yi Ning's eyes. It had been so long since his first life that he almost forgot who he was supposed to be.
Those fifth-generation medical saints are not Yi Ning!
I am just a spectator from God's perspective, accompanying those five gentlemen throughout my life.
Only in the first life can you truly belong to yourself!
Thinking of this,
Yi Ning raised his head and said with certainty: "I have experienced storms, so I don't want people to be me again."
This time the old man didn't respond immediately, and for the first time he looked thoughtful, as if he was recalling what Yi Ning said.
It's been a long time.
The old man smiled: "It's interesting."
After saying this, the old man held the sword finger in his hand and quickly pointed it between Yi Ning's eyebrows.
Yi Ning only felt that the space began to twist and form a vortex. His body was uncontrollable and flew towards the center of the vortex, and then he passed out.
"From now on, the stars will not be the same as last night. I only hope that there will be no difficulty in reaching the top of the sky."
The old man murmured and looked towards the place where Yi Ning disappeared, his eyes full of expectation.
...
Daqian State, northern Xinjiang.
It's late winter, the snow is thick, the trees are covered with silver, and the ground is covered with a thick blanket of snow.
In a primeval forest, several reindeer were looking for food.
Sudden,
They all raised their heads and looked into the sky, where ripples were rising in the space.
A little reindeer walked under the ripples, its eyes full of doubts.
At this moment, a figure appeared out of thin air in mid-air, and then the figure fell towards the ground.
"Yo yo!" the little reindeer exclaimed.
Frightened, the reindeer quickly ran deep into the forest, and after a while they disappeared.
The snow forest returned to silence, with only the big holes in the snow telling what had just happened.
The snow was too thick, and it took a lot of effort for the figure to slowly get up.
The man had long black hair hanging behind his back and a thin face.
There was a mark in the shape of a grass bud on his forehead. After flashing repeatedly for a few breaths, the mark gradually disappeared under the skin.
This person is Yi Ning who came from the stone house.
He first used the traditional Chinese medicine method of palpation to pinch all the bones in his body. He was lucky, with the snow as a buffer, and his body was fine.
It was the white robe on his body that caught Yi Ning's attention.
The white robe suddenly appeared on my body while I was passing through. It was obviously very thin, but snow water could not soak through it, and its thermal insulation effect was not inferior to that of a down jacket. It was very magical.
And he is surrounded by towering ancient trees and white snow.
"Where is this? Ancient times or modern times?"
Yi Ning raised his eyebrows and quickly analyzed the current situation.
"I feel like I'm deep in the forest right now, and it's snowing heavily now. I definitely won't be able to survive the night. I have to find a shelter from the cold before dark."
"Trees like the sun to grow. Most of the branches and leaves are more lush on the south side, but sparse on the north side. So I will go south."
After making up her mind, Yi Ning looked in the direction of the dense leaves and started walking quickly.
After an hour like this.
Yi Ning looked at the mushroom in front of him and frowned.
The mushrooms are blue and grow on wooden trunks. After being blown by the cold wind, there is a blue light lingering around them.
The reason that made Yi Ning frown was that he had never seen this plant before, but its name and effects came to mind.
Ningxin Mushroom, Lingcao, brewed according to the method of traditional Chinese medicine [Coptis Coptidis Ejiao Decoction], has the effect of invigorating Qi and nourishing the mind, resolving blood and removing blood stasis.
"Spiritual grass?"
In this snow forest, there was only the sound of the howling cold wind, so Yi Ning naturally had no answer to his question.
If the amount of information is too little, then don’t think too much about it.
They come, the security.
Taking a deep breath, he stretched out his hand to pick off the Ningxin mushroom, put it in his pocket, looked at the sky again, and continued moving forward.
The sun sets.
The setting sun casts mottled light and shadow through the gaps between the leaves.
At this time, Yi Ning was hiding under a birch tree, holding a handful of shepherd's purse in her hand, stuffing a mouthful into her mouth from time to time, and chewing slowly.
As a common cold-resistant plant, shepherd's purse has the effects of harmonizing the spleen, stopping bleeding, and improving eyesight. The most important thing is that it can be eaten raw, which is very important for Yi Ning who has no food source.
Now there's good news and bad news.
The bad news is that after a long journey, he still hasn't left the snow-capped mountains, and it's almost dark.
The good news is that there is a small temple not far from Yi Ning. Even from a distance, you can see the flickering fire inside the temple.
After discovering the small temple, Yi Ning did not approach immediately, but hid in the distance and patiently observed: "Judging from the shadows cast by the fire, there should be people in the temple, not ghosts and monsters."
As he spoke, Yi Ning opened his palms again, and his fingers became stiff, indicating that the body's heat energy was rapidly disappearing.
If things were normal and Yi Ning didn't know who was in the temple, Yi Ning would definitely not enter rashly, but now...
His body wouldn't allow him to wait any longer!
Yi Ning gritted his teeth and walked towards the small temple.
As he got closer and closer, the conversation in the temple gradually became clearer. They were speaking in Chinese and could be understood. This was good news.
"I said, Lao Li, we have been searching for three days. Is there really the spiritual herb that the immortal master talks about on this mountain?"
"I have never seen such magical things as spiritual grass. But now, if you ask the immortal master of the Immortal Pill Pavilion to treat you, the appearance fee is a piece of spiritual grass or gold. What else can we do besides looking for spiritual grass?"
"His grandma's bear is now seeking medical treatment from the Immortal Pavilion. The prices are getting more and more outrageous. I don't know what those immortals are doing with so much money!"
"Shh! Keep your voice down, do you want your life? If the immortal knows about it, our Lijia Village will all be destroyed!"
"Aren't I worried for Jiu'er? Such a well-behaved child, how can he be sick just because he's sick?"
"Hey! Let's look for one more day before the heavy snow closes the mountain. If we can't find it, we can only gamble our luck and try earthwork."
The two stopped talking, and the temple fell into silence. Only the sound of crackling firewood could be heard intermittently.
Yi Ning heard it clearly from outside.
Cure? Immortal Pavilion?
Is there no doctor in this world for medical treatment?
I was confused, but if the people inside needed medical treatment, it would suit Yi Ning's wishes.
So, he gently pushed the wooden door open, and as he pushed, there was a "chirp" sound.

PS: New book for newcomers! Please read it!
The harmony of yin and yang and the five elements of the human body in traditional Chinese medicine are very consistent with cultivating immortals. It happened that the elders in the family were engaged in traditional Chinese medicine, so they came up with this book.
This is not a traditional upgrading fairy tale. What I want to write is a flesh-and-blood world of immortality.
The story will be sure to be engaging and enjoyable, so please be patient and read it after ten chapters.
