Fragrance is good for purifying the heart

Chapter 324 The Great Road
Fang Meihua stared at Anan for a long time, and then glanced at Gardenia and others standing in the alchemy room. Suddenly she laughed dumbly, as if she heard a joke, and then nodded to Anan. Her calm and composed expression did not Just as Anan imagined the embarrassment and concealment, he had no intention of denying it at all.

"What? Is this causing trouble for you?" Fang Meihua stared at her brother in amusement.

Anan didn't answer and didn't know how to answer.

Silence spread around the two siblings. The alchemy room was so quiet that only the breathing of a few people could be heard, the sound of the blazing flames in the alchemy furnace, and the occasional crackling sound of the flames burning.

Gardenia's voice sounded at this moment, with a hint of etherealness in the clear air, "Why do we need to refine this kind of elixir that makes people give up everything and escape into Buddhism?"

She didn't accuse Fang Meihua, she just wanted to find out the truth.

Fang Meihua looked at Gardenia's bright and elegant face, and had no intention of hiding this matter. She just tilted her head and thought about it, then said:
"The pills I concocted can make people see through the world of mortals and taste all the sweet and bitter things in the world in just a moment. In just a moment, the person who takes them can experience the entire process of life, birth, old age, illness and death, and then have a profound enlightenment and devote their whole life to it." So, why not help more deserving people who are down and out?"

She spoke plausibly and did not feel anything was wrong with her elixir. "They donated tens of millions of their wealth, but they were all decisions made willingly after their own enlightenment. I never forced or deceived them."

"Besides, that rich man came to me that day and asked if there was any elixir that could help him put down his burdens, relieve his fatigue, and forget all his worries. Several other rich men came to me, Most of them have this idea, I sold them the elixir with a clearly marked price, and my elixir just fulfilled their wishes, so how could there be anything wrong?"

Fang Meihua smoothed away a strand of black hair that hung down on her chest. Her face was full of confidence and approval for her medicine, and there was no trace of shame at all for doing something wrong.

An He couldn't stand listening anymore, "Then do you know that although your elixir made those rich people forget their burdens and worries, they abandoned their wives because of your elixir?" Abandoned son, ruined family? Are these...the effects that a good elixir needs to achieve? Do you dare to say that you did no harm to anyone?"

Seeing An He's rude words, Fang Meihua sneered, "If you want to achieve greatness, a small sacrifice can sometimes save more people in this world, so why not? If one day, you are told to kill the person in front of you , you can save millions of sentient beings, so do you kill or save this person? As a doctor, I have always been very clear-headed."

Kill one person and save millions?

Gardenia is also a famous doctor, but she has never thought about such a problem. If such a day comes, should she save this person or kill him?What Fang Meihua just said seemed to have some truth to her, but she always felt that something was not quite right.

Also, what is the "big road" she keeps talking about?
Gardenia thought of the moral principles she had read in ancient classical books, which all said, "When the Great Dao is implemented, the world is common to all." This means that when the Great Dao is implemented, the world is shared by all people.

This should mean that although everyone's path is different, the road they face is the same.

There is another saying in the "Tao De Jing": "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and treat all things as stupid dogs." The heaven and earth are big, but they view all things with the same perspective, and they are equal and natural. It will hope that they will develop naturally and will not impose arbitrary restrictions on them. put one's oar in.No one is particularly good, and no one is particularly bad. Everything develops naturally.In other words, no matter what all things become, it should be the behavior of all things themselves, including a person's destiny, wealth, longevity, and health. .

Everything is like drifting into the night with the wind, moistening things silently.

So what makes Fang Meihua so sure that the pills she sells to rich families, which cause their wives to be separated and their families to be destroyed, is what she calls the "big road"?What makes her think that she can follow the "Tao" on behalf of Heaven?
Gardenia pondered for a moment, then retorted: "What you are talking about is not the real Tao, it is just your misinterpretation of the Tao. At least, the real Tao will not harm others casually with its own talents and intentions. With the medical science you are proficient in, killing and saving people is just a matter of your thoughts."

Fang Meihua then turned her face and looked at Gardenia for a long time. She looked coldly at the girl in front of her who looked much younger than herself. She never expected that such a person would say such words to herself.

In fact, she had some hesitation when selling her "Jue Hongchen" to those wealthy families, because she had made those Jue Hongchen by herself, so she naturally knew its power.

But for the "big road" in her heart, does she sometimes have to fight for a truth?
"You are not me, how do you understand the Tao that I have learned over the years?"

She stared at Gardenia coldly for a long time, with a beautiful expression on her face, and said indifferently: "I, Meihua, have been refining medicine since I was nine years old. No one has ever dared to provoke me like this. Could it be that this girl is also knowledgeable in medicine?"

She calmly looked at the girl in front of her who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, openly provoking the "Tao" she had learned over the years, and she had some concerns in her heart.

Gardenia looked directly at her questioning eyes and replied calmly and humbly: "I'm not yet a master of medicine, I just have a superficial understanding of it."

Her answer made Fang Meihua snort from the tip of her nose, her chest straightened out, and she looked confident and proud:
"Since you also know some medical skills, why don't you and I treat a hundred patients with our own abilities within a hundred days? You can make medicine like me, you can also do acupuncture, or decoction and prescribe medicine. Who can If you can save 100 people first within a hundred days, then who will be better? At that time, you will listen to that person's advice and no one else will say anything. In addition, the person who loses will not be able to practice medicine again for a hundred years, how about that?"

Gardenia glanced at Fang Meihua in surprise. She did not expect that Fang Meihua would challenge her to practice medicine even if she disagreed. Such bets and challenges were not unheard of in her previous experience. That Dr. Zhao Isn't it?

But is there something wrong with Fang Meihua? Whoever has better medical skills and whoever completes the bet first will be right?Just because his medical skills are high doesn't prove this person's truth, right?

But Gardenia didn't want to argue with her. She raised her lips calmly and looked directly at Fang Meihua's challenge: "Since you want to bet on my medical skills, then go ahead. I will accept this hundred-day appointment."
