Chapter Eleven Traditional Chinese Medicine
After coming out of the toilet, Li Wen felt refreshed and felt that his perception of life had deepened again. Looking at the Buddhist beads worn on his hand, he felt inexplicably. He really didn't know what the old monk wanted to do. He shook his head, got rid of those messy thoughts, and went to find his friends.
The weather was hot, and they were resting in a pavilion at this time. There was a rare shade. The three girls were a little better and knew what was reserved, but Yan Hao was a little indecent. He lay invisibly on the stone bench of the pavilion, with his big white belly exposed, and was holding a fan that he had got from nowhere in his hand and was leisurely fanning the air.
Li Wen just passed by. Due to the weather, Yan Hao asked irritably: "What are you doing? You won't fall off the toilet. If you don't come back, I'm going to find someone to catch you." Yan Hao's dog couldn't spit out ivory, and Li Wen was so angry that he wanted to tear his mouth.
After going over, he snatched the other party's fan and water, and then sat aside to enjoy the cool air. Yan Hao was so scared that he almost fell off the stone bench in a panic. Yan Hao looked unhappy when the thing was snatched. However, considering that several girls were present, he felt that it was better not to have to be violent.
Li Wen took a sip of water, but fortunately the water was not hot, and the throat chakra felt very comfortable. He said like a charlatan: "You don't believe it when you say it. I just met an old monk when I was going to the toilet. After the old monk said that he had a destiny to be with the Buddha, he discussed the Buddhist scriptures with him. He felt that he had gained a lot and his soul was also washed and sublimated." He looked contented.
"Just brag. I met a master discussing Buddhist scriptures. A monk can like you. Others don't know you. I don't know you yet. I have not been interested in these things since I was a child. With your ability, I guess I will be a monk who is just a flower monk. My six senses are not pure." Yan Hao looked at him with contempt.
Li Wen was too lazy to defend himself, and his words were false and true. He regarded this as a joke. After all, the incident he encountered just now was indeed a bit mysterious. He didn't know him, so he gave him a string of Buddhist beads for no reason, which made him suddenly remembered some eminent monks on TV. One of them was cheated into a monk if he had a fate with the Buddha.
As for the others, he didn't think about it, because this is usually the treatment of the protagonist in the novel. Giving a Buddhist bead is a magic weapon, and then giving it to a second and every second is air. He is not the kind of destiny of heaven. This old monk wouldn't really think that he has a fate with the Buddha. When Li Wen thought of this, he felt a little chilling. He always felt strange in his heart. He didn't have the idea of being empty in all four elements. Just marry a wife, have a baby, and live a life honestly. It seems that he will have to come here in the future.
Apart from this little episode, everyone was in a pretty good mood, but no matter how good they were, they needed to eat. So a sound came from everyone's stomachs, and everyone was embarrassed. Fortunately, when they came, they prepared a backpack of snacks, otherwise they would have made a joke today.
Just as everyone was having fun enjoying the happy time, in a Zen temple that looked a little old, an old monk was the master Li Wen met just now. The master stood in the yard, looked up at the starry sky at a forty-five degrees, and a disciple next to him stood respectfully and dared not disturb him.
In his eyes, the master's words and deeds were all practicing, and now he is also understanding the mystery of the world. After a long time, the master spoke: "Disciple, come here, the master's neck is numb, help me help me." As soon as the master finished speaking, the disciple next to him seemed to be struck by lightning, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he suddenly felt something was broken in his heart.
This disciple followed the master to study Buddhism for many years, strictly abide by various rules and precepts, read various Buddhist scriptures, and never did anything that violated the Buddha. He strictly demanded himself from his words and deeds, which was simply the perfect template for a generation of monks. Most of the temples were optimistic about him and believed that he was the person who was most likely to inherit the position of abbot, but he never could not get the recognition of the master.
In the eyes of his disciples, the master is like a Bodhisattva worshipped in a temple. He does not eat the grains of the world and transcends the world. He also demands himself in this way, but he does not know that Buddha is sentient beings, and sentient beings can also become Buddhas, rather than the clay statues on the temple.
The master looked at the disciple beside him and said helplessly: "You have been with me the longest time, but you are the person I am the least worried about. You are too persistent. Forget it, the fate between you and me is over. I have nothing to teach you. Go down the mountain."
The disciple on the side said in a panic: "Master, am I wrong? Don't drive your disciple down the mountain?"
The master looked at his beloved disciple and said helplessly: "You have come to the mountain to learn Buddhism with me since you were young. You are naturally intelligent and are the best person to inherit my mantra. It's a pity that you have too deep obsession in your heart. Now I have no choice but to go down the mountain. You may be able to experience the world of the world to help you. Go, remember that life is a practice, and you must not slack off."
The little monk looked at his master, knelt on the ground and kowtowed for a few times. After a long time, he left, but he did not see the old monk's reluctance. Who is ruthless than plants and trees? Monks are also humans, not machines, becoming Buddhas or humans. If you abandon these things, it would be better if this Buddha could not succeed.
The old monk remembered the boy he met today. For some reason, he had a whim at that time, so he gave the Buddhist beads to the other party and made a good relationship. Maybe he would see him again in the future.
It was getting late, and Li Wen and his group went down the mountain and separated. He and Sophie were reviewing in the library. After all, tomorrow will be a chemistry competition. As the saying goes, "If you don't sharpen your guns in the face of battle, you will be shining." Sophie didn't plan to be a green mountain today, but she couldn't resist Li Wen's temptation.
Li Wen asked Sophie about her parents' physical examinations in private. Sophie thanked her and told Li Wen that her mother was fine and her father had a minor illness. She found out that it was quite timely and she would be cured for a few days. Hearing this, the situation Li Wen didn't want to encounter happened. It seemed that it was unlikely to rely on her hopes on the hospital, and she still had to rely on herself. Li Wen also checked the drugs these days and probably had some understanding.
Most of these drugs can be found, but one of them is a bit troublesome and requires a hundred years of ginseng. In later generations, ginseng can be cultivated in a very short time through genetic means. It is not of high value, but it is different now.
Li Wen checked the relevant information and found that the transaction price of ginseng in the past century has exceeded one million in recent years, and it is still priceless. Most people can't do it at all. Fortunately, there are still five years before the disease begins, so he has to work hard to make money.
Li Wen left Sophie's house and went to the old Chinese doctor. There are quite a lot of people in the clinic now, but they are not serious illnesses. Nowadays, living conditions are good, and this person has more and more problems, referred to as "Fugui Disease". The store has not had enough staff for a while. Li Wen did not come forward to disturb him, but took the initiative to help him. Some simple things can be done and running errands. Everyone here knows Li Wen, so they didn't stop him.
Li Wen said he was helping, but in fact he was just doing some chores. He didn't need to grab medicine and decoct medicine at all. He had been busy for more than two hours. After the person left, Li Wen said obediently: "Hello Grandpa Wang."
Li Wen could clearly see the fatigue on the old man's face. The old man tried his best to every patient and never misdiagnosed him. He always refused to accept the patient from morning to night every day.
It is not for how much money it earns, but for the purpose of curing more people. Some of the money he earns is specifically used to take care of those who are from poor families. In fact, in the end, the income is not much. It is someone Li Wen admires very much.
"Xiaowen is here, I'll give you a pulse." Wang Tingfang greeted Li Wen over. Li Wen walked over well. He was weak and sick when he was a child. Every time he came to the clinic, Wang Tingfang would be taken by Li Wen to see his physical condition. It is no exaggeration to say that Wang Tingfang is equivalent to Li Wen's benefactor. In the middle of the night, his parents came to the clinic with Li Wen. In the end, they lived with Mr. Wang for a while and were in good health.
Taking Li Wen's pulse, he found that the other party's pulse was very stable and powerful. Wang Tingfang smiled and said, "I am very healthy, strong like a cow. I really don't know what you eat every day."
This was mainly caused by the radio gymnastics, which made his body very prosperous, but these cannot be said, and they can only be attributed to his daily exercise.
Li Wen took the opportunity to please the old man and asked many questions about tumor treatment. Mr. Wang liked Li Wen very much, so he said everything. The old man was happy. The old man asked with interest: "Aren't you not interested in traditional Chinese medicine? I suddenly became so active today."
Li Wen could only smile foolishly when he heard this. Mr. Wang saw that Li Wen was well-behaved and wanted to accept him as an apprentice. However, Li Wen's grandfather hoped that Li Wen would go to college, so he refused this matter. Li Wen also felt that traditional Chinese medicine was too boring and difficult to learn, so he gave up.
But now it’s different. Li Wen thought about it and replied solemnly: “Grandpa Wang, I want to learn Chinese medicine from you.” Li Wen’s words were a little abrupt, and everyone looked at him.
