Chapter 155 Continued
Qiu Yunpan could see that Chi Xiazi's ability was far higher than him, and it was meaningless to catch up with him now. This mace was really weird. If it was really important, it might be. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that the hand holding the mace seemed to be stabbed by something. This situation was extremely rare, because the weapon like a mace needs to be held tightly when used. If there is anything that can stab people in the handle, it will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of use. Qiu Yunpan carefully checked the handle of the copper mace.
, but I didn't find anything that could hurt people at all. The handle was made very finely and polished properly. When holding it, it seemed like a body extending out. The only strange thing was that there was a symbol unique to the Taoist sect on one side of the handle. Although Qiu Yunpan didn't know the meaning of the symbol, he could also see that this should be a secret text of a certain sect. This secret text is composed of two lines, intertwined, and the two lines were as elegant as two dragons, making people feel very comfortable.
Looking at the symbol, he couldn't help but touch it with his hands. Unexpectedly, his fingers touched the symbol, and it hurt like something bitten. He tried several times, and three out of six times were "bitten" by the symbol. The old Taoist insisted that he see this bronze mace. Is there any forbidden spell or poison? Is it necessary to use it to harm Zhai Tan? []
Thinking that it might be poisonous, Qiu Yunpan quickly touched his pulse, and his qi and blood were much calmer than before, which made him feel a little more at ease. However, he decided not to give medicine first, and bring the copper mace to Zhai Tan and ask what happened.
A few years ago, Zhai Tan was looking for Qian Xuanzi's relics and passed by the village where Qiu Yunpan lived. Because of impulse, he told Qiu Yunpan the biggest secret of Qian Xuanzi's life as a story. Qian Xuanzi acted cautiously throughout his life and was too careful when doing things. He was only extremely hasty when accepting Zhai Tan as his disciple. Zhai Tan's personality was completely different from Qian Xuanzi. He always did things before thinking about it, and rarely followed the rules to tell the secret to Qiu Yunpan. After he was afraid that Qiu Yunpan would leak the secret. After thinking about it, he lied to Qiu Yunpan's parents, saying that Qiu Yunpan was born with a fairy-like character, and it was a pity not to learn Taoism. He wanted to accept him as his disciple.
Everyone in Qiu Yunpan's village has seen Zhai Tan's ability, and Qiu Yunpan's father is even more grateful to Zhai Tan, and he feels that Zhai Tan is extremely capable and that his son will definitely not suffer any losses. He immediately agreed to this matter.
From then on, Qiu Yunpan became a Taoist priest, but he was a Taoist priest who had no Taoist robe, no Taoist quotation, and no Taoist quotation. In today's words, he was a Taoist priest without Taoism.
It turns out that the sect where Qian Xuanzi is located is a very small sect in the Taoist sect. The ancestor is a master who does not follow the rules. After starting the sect, he does not manage Taoist temples, nor does he take the upper level to actively curry favor with the powerful. He is dedicated to cultivating immortals and seeking Taoism, and most of his descendants inherited this attitude and traveled through the rivers, lakes and forests for a long time, which has caused the limitations of the development of the sect. Some people who want to make money by becoming Taoists can hardly join this sect, and rich people who want to seek immortals cannot find a way to join. Therefore, even when this sect is at its peak, there are only more than one hundred people.
Later, the times changed, and they were divided into several extremely small branches. One of the heads could not stand the poverty, so he had no choice but to join the Zhengyi faction at that time. He took this lead, and the heads of other small branches also changed their flags and changed their banners. One of the heads actually took seven or eight subordinates to convert to Buddhism, and later became a famous Zen master. One of the heads of several branches was extremely respectful of the ancestors. He knew that these things were extremely angry and determined to get rid of the apostates. He did not plan according to his actual situation. He impulsively found the fellow disciple who joined the Zhengyi Sect and asked them to withdraw from the Zhengyi Sect. He also threatened that if they were unwilling, he would kill them.
The Zhengyi Sect is the first sect in the south, and most of them are disciples who are proficient in talismans and spells. Such a sect is not easy to mess with. As a result, only a dozen disciples were sent to capture the head sect who spoke wildly back to Longhu Mountain.
Fortunately, the Zhengyi Sect Master was open-minded at that time. He just taught the man a few words and didn't care anymore. After this incident, the sect declined even more, with only one branch, barely maintaining the inheritance.
When Master Qian Xuanzi's generation finally made some progress, Qian Xuanzi's master was the first knowledgeable among Taoist disciples at that time. He was proficient in medical talismans and accepted many disciples. Unfortunately, it was also because of these disciples that he eventually died of a bad life. After his death, Qian Xuanzi and his fellow disciples were scattered. Qian Xuanzi was seriously injured at that time, and there were a lot of blood stasis and phlegm and dampness in the Ren and Du meridians. He basically won't achieve success in practicing Taoism and refining Qi. After his grief, he went to Beijing and became a You Fang doctor.
Zhai Tan was the disciple accepted by Qian Xuanzi when he was in a wealthy family. Zhai Tan was only sick since childhood. Zhai Tan's family hoped that he could learn some medical skills. After hearing about Qian Xuanzi's medical skills, they begged Qian Xuanzi to accept Zhai Tan as a disciple. Qian Xuanzi agreed to see that Zhai Tan was very talented. Qian Xuanzi was seriously ill at that time and died a few years later. When he accepted Zhai Tan, he knew that he had not had much time. He also saw that Zhai Tan's fate was sufficient, so he did not teach Zhai Tan too many Taoist rules. He only devoted his mind to teaching Taoism. In a few years, he taught Zhai Tan everything he learned throughout his life, but this also caused Zhai Tan's various unlucky encounters in the future.
Before Qian Xuanzi passed away, he entrusted Zhai Tan to complete several major tasks. The most important thing was to get back the relics. As for why they had to get back these things, these relics themselves were explanations. Zhai Tan always liked to do it first and then think about it, so he didn't ask. However, after getting the relics, he realized that what he was facing was actually the questions Qian Xuanzi had faced. Qian Xuanzi asked him to get the relics, which were three pearls. There was nothing else, the only area between Zhai Tan and Qian Xuanzi back then.
Not to mention, Qian Xuanzi could find some people at that time, and Zhai Tan had no idea about this matter at all. He vaguely guessed that Qian Xuanzi might have any arrangements. After getting the three pearls, he carefully observed them for more than ten days, but in the end there was no result. Zhai Tan did not have the patience of Qian Xuanzi. In his opinion, the secret involved in the pearl might be significant, but it was not a matter of burning eyebrows. He quickly lost interest in Baozhu and threw Qian Xuanzi's last words out of the sky.
Zhai Tan's attitude was something that Qian Xuanzi, who was cautious, never expected, but fortunately, he kept a lot of backup plans.
Qiu Yunpan put the copper mace into the wooden box for medicine delivery and slowly returned to the backyard of Baicaotang. He walked very slowly and kept looking around along the way, mainly to see if anyone was following him. He followed Zhai Tan to learn Taoism for several years, and most of the time he spent watching Zhai Tan fight with his enemies, treating others, or healing himself. In the end, Qiu Yunpan learned Taoism in a mediocre way, but his medical skills were very good. Zhai Tan hid in the backyard of Baicaotang. When he had important patients, Qiu Yunpan first took the pulse and then transferred the condition to Zhai Tan, and then took the prescription from Zhai Tan. In fact, Zhai Tan always went out half of the month. The prescriptions during this period were all from Qiu Yunpan, but the boss of Baicaotang was all the same as medical skills, and he could not see the subtle changes in the prescription.
In fact, medical experts have their own habits in prescriptions and have their own experience in the use of some drugs. For example, Zhang Jingyue, a famous doctor in the Ming Dynasty, was praised for his good use of mature dictionary. His prescriptions are extremely flexible in the use of mature dictionary, and no one has surpassed his level in later generations.
Zhai Tan is brave and has heavy medicine. Qiu Yunpan cannot learn this at all, so the dosage of the prescription prescribed by Qiu Yunpan will always be lower than Zhai Tan's measurement. If a doctor expert has seen Zhai Tan's prescription and then looked at Qiu Yunpan's prescription, you can easily see the problem. Zhai Tan's hiding place is actually a dry well in the backyard of Baicaotang. After Qiu Yunpan went down into the well, he heard Zhai Tan ask down the well: "Do you send boiled cabbage or sweet and sour live fish today?"
Qiu Yunpan coughed lightly and said, "Now it's boiled cabbage, and it may be sweet and sour live fish at night."
Sweet and sour live fish and boiled cabbage do not really refer to food. Traditional Chinese medicine says that fish meat produces phlegm and fire, and vegetables nourish vital energy. Fish meat is not easy to digest, and people eat too much will produce phlegm and fire, which are harmful to people. Vegetables are easy to digest and taste average, but they do not hurt people. Therefore, some health care families have the saying that fish meat kills people and vegetables saves people.
The conversation between Qiu Yunpan and Zhai Tan here is actually a secret code. If you say boiled cabbage in water, it is safe. If you say sweet and sour live fish, it is the enemy. If Qiu Yunpan talks about sweet and sour live fish, Zhai Tan will slip away from the secret passage. Qiu Yunpan said that there may be sweet and sour live fish at night, which is just reminding Zhai Tan that someone may be following you and need to be careful.
The secret room underground was specially prepared by the owner of Baicaotang. Zhai Tan showed his medical skills and made a contract with the boss. Zhai Tan would try to treat any complicated patients. However, Zhai Tan had to concentrate on practicing and did not want to see people. In order to prevent a arrogant patient from meeting him, he needed to repair a secret room and secret passage underneath. As soon as Qiu Yunpan entered the secret room, Zhai Tan took the wooden box from him and said, "What is there in this?"
Qiu Yunpan said: "Today, on the street, a Taoist priest named Qingxiazi gave me a life-and-death fortress. It was a copper mace."
He wanted to say something else, but Zhai Tan suddenly stopped and said, "Qingxiazi? Isn't Chixiazi?"
Qiu Yunpan thought about the Taoist priest's words and said, "Oh, it's Chixiazi, Master, he is not really an acquaintance, right?" When he saw Zhai Tan knowing this person, he was afraid that it would have really delayed something big, so he quickly told me how he met Chixiazi in front of Baicaotang and Chixiazi's failure to let him go. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Zhai Tan shook his head and said, "I have heard of this person, it is said to be a weird person, I have never seen him before."
As he spoke, Zhai Tan had already opened the wooden box, took out the copper mace, and said, "It's this thing?" Qiu Yunpan nodded and said, "What pierced my hand is the symbol on the handle." When Zhai Tan heard him say this, he quickly took the candle and looked at the symbol on the handle. Zhai Tan's secret room was very ventilated, so there was no need to worry about the turbid air. The candle was also used very much. When he took the symbol on the handle carefully under the candle, Zhai Tan's hand shook and dropped the copper mace to the ground.
Qiu Yunpan saw that Zhai Tan's expression was strange and asked quickly: "Master, what's wrong?"
Zhai Tan's face turned pale at this time. After a while, he said tremblingly: "This Chixiazi, he gave me a disaster star."
