From Jiu Shu's world

Chapter 52

Early the next morning, Henry Zhang opened the door for consultation as always.Opening a medical clinic is no different than other businesses. It is impossible to have a flood of patients every day. It still depends on the time of day. Sometimes there will be more patients when there are seasons.

Generally speaking, opening a medical clinic in the countryside in this era is still very leisurely. The villagers will suffer from minor illnesses if they can survive them. Generally, they will not go to the medical clinic to see a doctor, after all, it costs money.After all, it’s still a poor word.

Henry Zhang can only do his best to collect the consultation fee cheaper, which can be regarded as accumulating merit.

"Doctor Zhang, is my mother's illness all right?"

Henry Zhang was giving the pulse of a skinny old woman, and the young guy on the side asked anxiously seeing that he was silent.

Before Henry Zhang could speak, the old lady complained in local dialect with a strong accent: "I said it's okay, you just want to see a doctor, and now you're going to waste money again, ahem."

Although the old woman couldn't stop coughing, she still muttered in a low voice that she was fine.She was not targeting Henry Zhang, but felt sorry for the money spent on medical treatment.In fact, the old woman had been coughing for more than half a year, and she was forced to see a doctor by her son until today when she coughed up blood.

Henry Zhang said with a smile: “Don’t worry, mother-in-law will be fine.”

Henry Zhang comforted the young man, but in fact, the black-gray sickness in her mother-in-law’s chest was as thick as a dark cloud, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was dying.Fortunately, Henry Zhang raised the disease Gu of Abao, and there is a way to cure it.

"A Bao, come out and do something."

"quack"

Hearing Henry Zhang shouting, Ah Bao moved his four short legs, and jumped onto the table where Henry Zhang was seeing a doctor.When it got on the table, it didn't go to see a doctor immediately, but instead drew a short hand at Henry Zhangbi.

"quack"

A Bao: Have an extra meal

Henry Zhang understood, and smiled: "Okay, I will give you an extra meal tonight, and hurry to see a doctor."

During this period of time, the Yin locusts were exhausted, and Abao’s Yin locust set meal was cut a lot by Henry Zhang, and replaced with other small fish and shrimps. Now it’s good that Brother Abao will be paid for seeing a doctor.

The young guy and the old lady had heard of Henry Zhang’s methods of seeing a doctor for a long time, and they were no strangers to it. After all, they are Uncle Jiu’s nephew, and it is normal for some ordinary people to have methods that ordinary people do not have.

Abao looked left at the old woman, looked again, then aimed at her chest, opened his mouth wide, his belly bulged, and the black-gray thick fog of sickness quickly dispersed as if encountering an exhaust fan , One after another, they flew close to Po's mouth.

Although the young guy and the old woman couldn't see the sickness, he could feel the obvious changes in his mother, and the complexion on her face improved a lot.The old lady also felt a burst of relief, and her breathing became much smoother.

"quack"

After swallowing his sickness, Ah Bao turned around, jumped off the table, and returned to his own water tank.

"Thank you, Doctor Zhang." The young man quickly thanked you.

But Henry Zhang said: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me, this disease comes like a mountain, and it goes like a silk thread. My mother-in-law is at this age, and she has this serious illness, and she will have to take care of it for a long time before she can recover. Now the illness is mostly cured. You take a elixir and give it to your mother-in-law. After three to five days, you will have a diarrhea reaction, and then all your illnesses will be cured. Just find some supplements and give your mother-in-law a boost."

"Thank you, thank you doctor." The young man took the elixir and thanked him again. After paying the consultation fee, he carefully helped his mother out of the house.

While walking out, the old lady was still muttering: "Ali, we don't want to buy supplements. I heard that the supplements are very expensive. I think it will be back after drinking the fish soup."

Henry Zhang smiled, the old people are all the same, they seem to be stingy, but they are all saving money for their children, poor parents all over the world.The old lady's sickness was so eroded that Ah Bao couldn't swallow it all at once. The sickness was too entangled, and the rest could only be slowly drawn out like a cocoon.

This is why Henry Zhang still gave her a elixir. The elixir has nothing special at all, that is, it has the effect of nourishing the body. The important thing is the Gu worms hidden in the elixir.This Gu worm will follow her ingestion, multiply in her body, and then remove the lesion bit by bit, and after cleaning, it will come out with excrement.

When Henry Zhang saw a doctor at noon, he left the Yin Yang Medical Center.A few days ago, he made an appointment with Uncle Jiu to go to Uncle Jiu's Yizhuang to ask him about cultivation.And about the man-snake and Mengyu's guardian last night, it's time to mention it to Uncle Jiu.

When Henry Zhang came to Yizhuang, he saw two senior brothers who were doing the same strides as the day before yesterday, exercising their physique.Although the two were sweating profusely, they didn't dare to cheat like last time.Henry Zhang smiled secretly, the method of the uncle is really powerful, it is rare for the brothers to be so obedient.

After Henry Zhang greeted the two of them, he entered the house, and as soon as he entered, he saw Uncle Jiu drawing a talisman in the hall.As the saying goes, 1 minute on stage, ten years of work off stage, although these words refer to the hardships of Liyuan, it is not impossible to apply here.

Taoist priests used to be majestic in catching demons and ghosts, with a handful of yellow talismans and a pile of magic weapons, but no one knew that in normal times, they had to accumulate talismans bit by bit.Some talismans can be made into one in a day, which is not bad, after all, it takes a lot of energy to draw talismans.

Even a Taoist priest like Uncle Jiu often draws talismans and makes magic tools at home. Some magic tools are always enshrined on the table to consecrate them and increase spirituality.In the Taoist profession, if you don't prepare well, when you encounter something, it is not as simple as success or failure. A slight mistake is life and death.

Henry Zhang didn’t bother Uncle Jiu, but stood aside, quietly watching Uncle Jiu draw symbols, which was also an opportunity for him to learn.Uncle Jiu noticed that Henry Zhang came in, and he didn't get up. The writing of this talisman must be completed in one stroke, and the spiritual power cannot be interrupted.

Half an hour had passed by the time Uncle Jiu finished drawing this talisman.Uncle Jiu put down his pen, picked up the talisman, and said to Henry Zhang: "Has Xuan been waiting for a long time?"

Henry Zhangdao: "It didn't take long, and I happened to learn how to draw talismans from my uncle."

Uncle Jiu nodded, and took Henry Zhang to the front of the ancestral hall in the back room.He placed the talisman he had just drawn in front of the case, then lit six sticks of incense, handed Henry Zhang three sticks, and said, "Let's worship together."

The uncle and nephew respectfully paid homage to the patriarch three times. Compared with the older generation of Maoshan people like Uncle Jiu, Henry Zhang is not as frequent and respectful as them in offering incense to the patriarch. This is why he is so young. In a generation, there are very few people who have successfully practiced the art of inviting gods. After all, their hearts are not sincere enough.

After burning the incense, Uncle Jiu was about to tell Henry Zhang about his cultivation experience. Just as he was about to speak, Uncle Jiu seemed to think of something, and said, "Ah Xuan, go and call your two senior brothers in, and I will give you a lecture together today."

Henry Zhang listened, nodded and said: “Uncle Master, I’ll go right away.”

Henry Zhang knew that Uncle Jiu seemed to want to teach himself and his two senior brothers well.Especially for the two senior brothers, Uncle Nine treated them like parents and children, and beat and scolded them publicly, but he was very accommodating to them, and his cultivation base had not improved much after so many years.

It can be said that none of them can compare to the four senior brothers that Martial Uncle Qian He took in. They were originally soldiers in the army, and they worked under Martial Uncle Qian He for many years.Their aptitude is not comparable to Senior Brother Qiu Sheng, but in terms of cultivation skills, Senior Brother Qiu Sheng may not be able to compare with them.

Henry Zhang called the two of them in, and saw that Uncle Jiu changed his Taoist robe at some point, lit sandalwood, and sat on the futon.There were three futons in front of him, and the three of Henry Zhang sat side by side.

Uncle Jiu said: "Now that we're all here, let's start. Qiusheng and Wencai, you two brats, listen carefully too. In the past, I was slack in teaching you, and I didn't give you a complete explanation of cultivation. I will tell you about it today while I’m telling you junior brother, if you can’t remember it, hehe.”

"I know the master"

The two of them replied in an instant, but they didn't know if they had listened to their hearts.

Uncle Jiu said: "Our Maoshan is inherited from the Western Han Dynasty. There are three patriarchs, Mao Ying, Mao Gu, and Mao Zhong. Today, no one in Maoshan knows about it, but with the efforts of the ancestors of all generations, they absorbed and learned both Buddhism and Taoism, and practiced secret techniques such as driving corpses and refining Gu, which made Maoshan what it is today."

Uncle Jiu first told the three of them about the origin of the Maoshan School and the evolution of its techniques, and then said: "Now our Maoshan School is mainly based on Taoism, and it is compatible with various methods, so we still follow the Taoist way of Qi training. Even you, Ah Xuan The technique of witchcraft is actually to use Gu to train Qi, and Gu Qi is cultivated together. As for you two brats, you are as pure as me in training Qi."

The three of Henry Zhang nodded in response to Uncle Jiu’s words. What Uncle Jiu said was exactly the faction that the three of them practiced in Maoshan. Regardless of the Maoshan people who took a slanted sword, in fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that everyone in Maoshan practiced Qi all the way.

Uncle Jiu said again: "There are four major realms in this practice of qi, which are refining essence to transform qi, refining qi to transform spirit, practicing spirit to return to emptiness, and returning to emptiness to join the way. These four realms are generally called by our practitioners. They are Qi-Cultivating Realm, God-Cultivating Realm, Void-Refining Realm, and Dao-Healing Realm. Of course, He-Dao is called a Celestial Master, which is the immortal realm of our Taoists."

At this time Wencai asked: "Master, what is refining?"

Uncle Jiu glared at him, and his beards turned up, didn't he understand?

Uncle Jiu was helpless, but this was all his disciples, so he explained: "Refining essence to transform Qi, the so-called essence is the essence of grains, natural essences such as meat, grains, and herbs are swallowed and refined by us cultivators. It becomes our qi, that is, spiritual power. This is why people who practice qi eat more."

Speaking of this, Uncle Jiu gave the two apprentices a hard look. They can only eat, but they don't grow in cultivation. They are two bastards.

Qiusheng and Wencai shrank their heads in fright, and Henry Zhang snickered aside. Sure enough, the daily life of the uncle and brother was really interesting.

Uncle Jiu said again: "Refining Qi and transforming God is your current realm, Ah Xuan. There are three realms in refining God, the Yin God, the Yang God, and the Unity Realm. If you practice Qi and cultivate your spirit completely, you can get the Yin God. Once the Yin God comes out, you can get the Yin God." Connecting ghosts and gods, wandering at night is like a dead soul. When the yin god goes down, it is the realm of the yang god. The yang god is similar to but opposite to the yin god. You can travel day by day, and the ghosts and monsters retreat with the power of the yang god. This is the way of yin and yang in Taoism, and it is also the balance of yin and yang in our human spirit. .”

Uncle Jiu paused for a moment, and said: "As for the state of unity, the Yin and Yang gods guard the Purple Mansion and live together in one place. When the Yin and Yang are united, it is the day when the primordial spirit is born. border."

Uncle Jiu made it clear, but Henry Zhang heard a sliver of information. Uncle Master is afraid that the Heyi Realm has touched the threshold of the Void Refining Realm.

People's cultivation is understood, but Henry Zhang remembered that he encountered ghosts these days, and his strength was uneven, so he asked, "Master, do ghosts have a cultivation faction?"

Uncle Jiu was stumped by this question. After pondering for a while, he said, "There are still ghosts, and zombies are really weird."

He thought for a while and said: "Ghost cultivation, how many ghost cultivation from the underworld have been passed down to the yang world, ghost soldiers, ghost generals, ghost kings and ghost immortals are similar to humans. As for zombies, the aliens born in the world are really hard to compare. According to the method, they are divided into iron-armored corpses, copper-armored corpses, silver-armored corpses, and golden-armored corpses."

Speaking of this, Uncle Jiu said solemnly: "You have to remember, zombies, ghosts, and weirdness are born with the evil spirit of the world. No one knows what is born, so don't be careful. Decades ago, those A tomb robber dug up a large tomb and dug out a haggard blood-red mummy. This thing didn't even have a corpse pill, but it massacred several mountain people. The Zhengyi faction and our Maoshan faction fought to death. Cultivator Xu solved it. In the future, you must be extremely careful when walking in the rivers and lakes, the realm is just the realm, and there will always be out-of-standard existence."

For a whole afternoon, Uncle Jiu answered every question, and explained his decades of cultivation experience to the three of Henry Zhang. Henry Zhang only felt that he suddenly became enlightened, and he also had a direction for cultivating into a Yang God.

After talking about cultivation, Uncle Jiu saw that it was getting late, so he asked Qiu Sheng to go out to feed the chickens, and then asked Wen Cai to go out to prepare dinner.He turned his head to Henry Zhang and said, "Ah Xuan, is there anything else?"

Uncle Jiu just saw that Henry Zhang hesitated to speak, and knew that he had something to say, so he dismissed the two apprentices.
