Chapter 223 Asking Immortals
"Aunt Qi, where are you going? What kind of incense burning day is today?"
Ma Yan looked at Ma Wei Village’s wife Zeng Qigu walking towards the village entrance with a backpack and wearing a yellow jacket that burned incense. She felt a little strange. Although Ma Yan did not believe in Buddhism, she probably knew that incense was burned on those days. On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, Buddhist believers usually went to the temple to burn incense, and various Bodhisattvas had to go to the temple to burn incense on their birthdays. But this day seemed not a day to burn incense.
"I went to Banshan Village. A fairy girl came out of Banshan Village and asked for a bowl of talisman water to cure all diseases!" said Zeng Qigu.
"What's wrong with your health? It's better to find Dr. Chen than to go to find the fairy." Ma Yan said.
"That's different. This is the talisman water given by the Bodhisattva. Drinking the sick can cure the disease, and those who are not sick can be ten years younger." He heard from the people in the middle of the mountain that drinking the well water from the fairy's house can cure the disease." Zeng Qigu said.
Ma Yan felt something was wrong even more: "No, why would the Bodhisattva come down to earth to give talismans water? The person who painted the talismans should be the Taoist priest."
"Maybe I heard it wrong, it should be the fairy fairy. Isn't it called the fairy aunt?" Zeng Qigu said.
"Then, you, a Buddhist, will you go to the fairy to join in the fun? Are you not afraid of Bodhisattvas being used to it?" Ma Yan asked.
Zeng Qigu didn't care at all: "The Bodhisattva is not so stingy. Don't talk nonsense, otherwise the Bodhisattva will be strangers."
Ma Yan looked at Zeng Qigu's back and murmured: "This Bodhisattva is probably from your family. If you say you don't know anything about it, then you won't know anything about it?"
Not long after Zeng Qigu walked, she met Xiao Pingfeng, a woman from the Chen Gang. Xiao Pingfeng had just returned from the market at Daxipu. The old man was still used to walking over.
"Sister-in-law Qi, where are you going?" Xiao Pingfeng immediately greeted Mr. Zeng.
"A fairy girl came out of the mountain. Have you heard of it?" Zeng Qigu asked.
"Why haven't you heard that? Many people are talking about it at the market. I heard it is quite effective." Xiao Pingfeng did hear many people talking about this at the market.
"Of course it works. He is a fairy who descends to earth. It's amazing. It can cure all diseases! My brain hurts often, and it doesn't work after going to Dr. Chen to take medicine. See if the fairy can cure the pain in my brain." Zeng Qigu said.
Zeng Qigu didn't tell the truth. She didn't go to Chen Ming's house to see a headache. She was afraid of spending money. The old man couldn't tell clearly how much it cost to burn incense and worship Buddha. She was willing to spend money when he saw a doctor.
Zeng Qigu’s son and daughter have several sons and daughters. They will give her money during the holidays. The old couple will take their grandson with them, but their son and daughter-in-law will get them money every month. Mawei Village often works as an auxiliary worker and earns more than 150 a day. The couple has a lot of savings. It’s not that they don’t have money to see a doctor.
Xiao Pingfeng persuaded: "I think it's more reliable to go to Dr. Chen for treatment. Who knows whether that fairy girl is a lie? There are so many scammers these days."
"Xiao's mother, don't talk nonsense. The fairy will hear something strange." Zeng Qigu looked up at the sky.
"The fairy's magic power is so high? Can she still hear us talking here halfway up the mountain?" Xiao Pingfeng smiled.
"Forget it, sincerity will make you feel good; if you believe, you will not believe. I want to go to the fairy to see a doctor, so you must be sincere. Don't talk nonsense in front of me." Zeng Qigu was a little unhappy, feeling that Xiao Pingfeng insulted her faith.
Xiao Pingfeng usually knew what kind of person Zeng Qigu was, so naturally she knew that Zeng Qigu’s problem was not that Chen Ming could not cure it, but that she did not go to Chen Ming to treat it at all.
Zeng Qigu overcomes all difficulties, and desperately dissuads him, walking tremblingly for nearly forty minutes, and finally arrives halfway up the mountain.
When you get to the mountain, you don’t have to ask for directions at all. You can see where the fairy’s home is located when you see more cars and people.
Zeng Qigu saw the old well in Banshan Village surrounded by people from a distance. Without asking for directions, he walked directly to the well.
People from Banshan Village surrounded the well, and people outside had to pay if they wanted to fetch water in the well. It was not expensive, and a mineral water bottle cost one dollar.
"This water is the water prayed for by the fairy. Drinking it can cure diseases, and it can strengthen the body without illness. If there are elderly people at home, you can take them back, and the elderly will be healthier if they drink them. If there are children at home, you can take them back, and the children will be smarter if they drink them. If there are children, they will be able to achieve their wishes..."
The man who guards the well and sells water in Banshan Village is indeed very eloquent.
Zeng Qigu felt that the money was spent very straightforward. Chen Yonggang's mineral water sold at his house costs two yuan per bottle, and only one yuan per bottle here. It can cure diseases after drinking it. It was so worth it, so he hurriedly squeezed in and paid one yuan.
But she had to take advantage of it, took a bottle of water, took a few big gulps, and then said to others, "You have to pick it up for me." When they saw that she was an old man, they didn't say much, so they picked it up for me, and then said, "Old man, don't drink it anymore, take it again after drinking, I have to charge another money."
Zeng Qigu felt that he had picked up a big advantage, and smiled and squeezed out of the crowd with a mineral water bottle. She felt that the water was really good, much sweeter than the water in the ancient well in Chashu Village. After drinking it, she felt energetic all over her body. Let her be sure that the fairy girl in Banshan Village is indeed effective.
"Xiao's mother refused to come, she really had no vision. The fairy girl in Banshan Village is so effective, she will definitely regret it in the future." Zeng Qigu was quite proud. She felt that she was the wisest and long-term old woman.
The fairy girl Xiao Yunxian's home is in a village not far from the well. At this time, the yard of Xiao Yunxian's family was filled with a strong smell of sandalwood. A huge clay pot in the yard had accumulated a full of incense ash. From time to time, people inserted incense into the facade and burned paper money.
Zeng Qigu understands the rules and cannot burn incense that you bring to your own house. You have to sell incense at the door, otherwise others will not let you in.
There was someone holding it at the gate of Xiao Yunxian’s house. The incense, paper money, incense, candles and so on were sold at one set at a time, and it was not too expensive, one set cost ten yuan. I was sincere when I came to ask the fairy for my sincere heart, and Zeng Qigu bought an incense burning suit at the door without hesitation.
When Zeng Qigu walked inside with incense, someone was stopped.
"Stop, stop, you can't go to the facade. Go to the fairy's house to burn incense, you have to buy the incense designated by the fairy's house. This spot is designated by the fairy's house." It is estimated that this person in front of Xiao Yunxian's house should be from Xiao Yunxian's house. Otherwise, he would not be able to hold on to them.
"How can you do this? Burn incense to the fairy, what is not? Why do you have to buy it here?" Others have already bought incense and don't want to buy it again, and they are a little dissatisfied.
"You won't be honest. We are all from Xiao Yunxian's family. Although the immortal has descended to earth and falls on her, she is an immortal now, not an mortal. But she still has an incense relationship with us. So, I specially gave us a living. If you really come to burn incense for the fairy, why don't you take care of the fairy's incense relationship?"
What others say is quite reasonable. It is hard for others to talk about anything more. Besides, their suits are not too expensive. If you come out to ask the immortal, who cares about this? Money is something outside of your body.
However, after spending this ten yuan, Zeng Qigu could only burn incense and walk around in the fairy's yard. There was no way to see Zeng Qigu's people.
Zeng Qigu’s house is still an old house, a one-story brick and tile bungalow. The house is a bit old and in ruins.
Zeng Qigu wanted to see the situation inside through the window, but found that the window was blocked tightly, and it was dark inside, so I couldn't see anything clearly.
"Old man, since he is here, should I go in and see the fairy? Only when I get inside can I get the talisman water given by the fairy. This is the talisman water that can truly cure all diseases. It is different from the well water in the well in the village." There was also a person standing at the gate of the fairy's house.
Zeng Qigu leaned over and looked inside, and saw people inside standing in line, kowtowing and burning incense. Only after burning incense could they beat them inside.
"May I ask, what kind of immortal was the fairy who surrendered?" Zeng Qigu asked.
"There are so many immortals in the sky that I can't tell you clearly. Our fairy is the willow fairy descending to the earth. The willow fairy is very powerful and the effect of transforming talisman water is very good. Cancer can be cured well. Several cancers in our village have been sentenced to death by the hospital, and they are all cured here. If you don't believe it, go out and ask. Everyone in the village knows it."
"Brother, you should be a member of the fairy's family, right? Who are you?" Zeng Qigu asked.
"How dare I be the Willow Fairy? But before she became an immortal, she was my wife." This person was amazing. He had slept with the fairy girl.
"How much does it cost to go in and meet the fairy?" Zeng Qigu asked.
"You are also a believer, how can you speak so vulgarly? Will the fairy be greedy for you? The fairy doesn't want you any penny. But now so many people are here to maintain the temple for the fairy, and these people have to eat and drink. Do you think? Going in to burn incense and give talisman water all depends on your heart. You are not too many if you are sincere, but you are not too many if you are not sincere."
After saying this, how could Zeng Qigu really take a few or dozens of dollars? He took out a hundred dollars from his purse in pain and handed it to the man who had slept with the fairy.
Zeng Qigu didn't feel the pain either. It was quite cost-effective to cure the disease for 100 yuan. Although it may be more expensive than going to Chen Ming to see a doctor, he is a fairy and Dr. Chen is a fan.
They didn't have empty gloves. They took the hundred yuan and gave a high-quality incense gift package. The paper money, candles and incense inside were much more exquisite than the ten-dollar set. It was indeed a reward for you.
When I got into the house, the light was dark. However, for Zeng Qigu, who often burned incense, I had long been accustomed to it. The temple was often dark.
Zeng Qigu burned incense in the main hall and waited for a long time before entering the fairy's room. The fairy was meditating on a ragged bed. The bedding on it looked like a new one. The fairy's hair was messy, covering her face, and her whole body was still trembling. She recited spells that were completely unauthorized in her mouth. She kept lit the small yellow paper and placed it on a plate. The pilgrim filled the talisman water from the plate.
The water Zeng Qigu bought for one dollar had to pour out and then put a bottle of talisman water on the plate. I thought I had asked for a cheap price before, but now I am sorry for the dollar.
Zeng Qigu simply repeated the same trick, took a sip of the talisman water first, and then filled it again.
"This person is really. The fairy dares to be so scheming in front of him." Someone on the side couldn't see it.
Zeng Qigu poured water and walked away quickly. But she didn't notice that the talisman water she drank was black because too many talismans were melted. She just took a sip of water, just like a sip of ink. Even her lips turned black and black, and her mouth was opened, and her mouth was also black and black.
Zeng Qigu came out of Xiangu's house and was a little hungry. The service in Xiangu's village is quite thoughtful, and there is a designated hotel in Xiangu next to Xiangu's house. This place specializes in the Anxian package. It is said that all the meals for Xiangu and his family are served by them.
Zeng Qigu was reluctant to spend money, so she put some dry food such as biscuits in her bag. She would take it out on the road to fill her stomach later.
The talisman water worked very quickly. After drinking the talisman water, Zeng Qigu walked vigorously and arrived at a mountain halfway through, and it worked completely.
Zeng Qigu hid in the woods and almost didn't even take off her pants, so she started to detoxify.
That night, Zeng Qigu had a high fever and was sent to the emergency room of the sports rehabilitation center.
I lost my fever in the emergency room, but it kept repeating.
When Chen Ming went to work the next day, he heard that Zeng Qigu fell ill.
Mawei Village came to find Chen Ming: "Doctor Chen, please help me. Yesterday, I got diarrhea from Banshan Village. I asked her to come here to see her, but she refused to come, saying that it was detoxification. I had a high fever and was confused, so I sent it here."
"Is food poisoning caused by alcohol?" Chen Ming asked.
"Where is drinking? A fairy came out of Banshan Village. She went to believe in superstition. Wasn't she a little rheumatism before? She asked her to come to you and see her, but she refused. This time she heard that the fairy girl in Banshan Village was effective, so she went to Banshan Village. After drinking talisman water, she became like this." Mawei Village was very angry.
"Uncle Ma, don't be upset, I'll go and have a look." Chen Ming smiled.
Zeng Qigu was lying on the hospital bed, feeling sick.
"Open your mouth and let me see." Chen Ming said.
When Zeng Qigu opened her mouth, her mouth was still black.
I was sick for one night and I hadn't washed up even after returning from Banshan Village.
"Why is this tongue black? Aunt Qi, what have you drunk?" Chen Ming asked.
"I'm drinking the talisman water given by the fairy." Zeng Qigu said softly.
"You are drinking ash water in pot. Where is the fu water so dark?" Chen Ming asked.
"It's Fu Shui. The fairy said that it can cure all diseases. I'm detoxifying now. It's all gone after the excretion. I don't have any pain in rheumatism anymore." Zeng Qi's aunt still had fantasies about the fairy.
"Then if I give you some antidiarrhea medicine, would you like to drink it?" Chen Ming asked.
"You can't drink it. If you drink it, my 100-yuan talisman water will be wasted." Zeng Qigu shook his head repeatedly.
Seeing that Zeng Qigu was not doing anything big, Chen Ming didn't say anything, and turned around and said to Mawei Village: "It's not a big problem. It will be fine in two days."
