Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and everyone has their own difficulties.
I ran into Taoist Shen Ming from Changchun Temple in Wuhan in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an. I was immediately surprised. He also saw me leading my cousin Qingqing and A Guang, and he asked, "Doctor Yuan, aren't you in Wuhan? Why? Will you come to Xi'an?"
"This is a long story. I will tell you in detail when I have time. Where do you live now?"
Taoist Shen Ming said frankly: "Pan Dao left from Zhongnan Mountain and passed by here, just staying for a few days, and will soon return south to Wuhan?"
A Guang asked: "Dao Master, you are not walking back to Wuhan, right?"
Taoist Shen Ming nodded and said, "Exactly!"
Cui Xiaoqiang was a little surprised, and A Guang hurriedly said to him: "Dao Master, you are still fortune-telling. Can you count me a hook? See when I can run and get rich and get married?"
The old Taoist squinted his eyes, looked at him, and said: "This benefactor is asking for money and marriage. You have a dark face, you have no way of making money, and your stature is staggering, like a burden. Even if you encounter a peach blossom, it is a catastrophe. "
A Guang hurriedly grabbed the old Taoist's hand and asked, "Dao Master, what should I do then?"
Taoist Shen Ming looked at me, and I hurriedly said, "Do you see what I do? He is my friend. What should you say?"
A Guang is also full of anxiety and expectation. The old Taoist said slowly: "Xi'an is the place where dragons and tigers are hidden, but your sick tiger is not suitable for survival here, because Sirius is booming. If you want to change your own destiny, you can only Go diagonally southeast and stop in the water!"
While A Guang was muttering, Cui Xiaoqiang also snatched the old Taoist's hand from A Guang, and asked: "Dao Master, you can count it for me, and see when I can get rich? And my marriage."
Taoist Shen Ming withdrew his hands from her, picked up the lottery on the ground and said: "Pan Dao never fortunes for women, and Pan girl is recovering well. After you come to Wuhan, just go to Changchun Guan to find me!"
He said that he was about to walk down the tower, I hurriedly stopped him, and said to him: "Dao Master, you also count me a trigram!"
"Isn't it necessary? Do you still need the poor way to divination for you?"
When I wanted to argue, he strode towards the window, shrank his body, and stuck his head out of the tower, and then used both hands and feet to get out of the tower. Amidst the exclamation of the pedestrians, the Taoist Shen Ming walked out of the tower. The third floor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda slid directly out of the first floor, mixed into the crowd, and quickly disappeared.
A Guang asked me: "Xiao Hua, this old Taoist man is quite agile, are you familiar with him?"
I nodded in response: "Forget it! Qingqing is able to wake up, his contribution is indispensable!"
A Guangyou asked me, "What does it mean to go diagonally to the southeast and stop at the water?"
I hurriedly said that I didn't understand it, then raised my wrist and looked at my watch. It was almost five o'clock, and I said to him: "It's getting late, we have to go back soon!"
The cousin was a little unhappy, so she kept asking Qingqing about the situation of the Taoist Shen Ming, but Qingqing said that she didn't know it.
And I regret not borrowing the pearl ring back for a use, but the Taoist Shen Ming was also afraid of me asking for it and fled quickly. How can I borrow the things I have given away
We went out of the entrance of Dacien Temple, and we saw that there were already night market vendors. A Guang was going to take us to eat grilled gluten and fish tofu, but I saw a large line of books selling ancient books against the wall. , The stall owner is also an old man, unloading the goods from the tricycle.
"A Guang, take the two beauties to eat, I will stay and read these old books!"
A Guang was polite, and soon left with his cousin and Qingqing. I began to examine these old books. The stall owner said to me in a Hanzhong accent, "What books do young people like to read?"
I said frankly: "I like to read medical books and medicine books! Do you have any orphans, strange books or secret books?"
"Secret collection? Wugong secret collection?" The old man let out a hearty laugh, but conjured an old book with traditional illustrations from under the seat of the tricycle and said: "This is an old man's collection. There is money on the market Can't buy it?"
When I took the book and read it, I blushed immediately. This is a pornography, so I returned it to the old man, saying: "I am studying medicine, Chinese medicine, and I am very interested in Chinese herbal medicine!"
The old man took out a "Shen Nong's Ben Cao Jing" from his canvas clothes and said, "This book can be described as a celestial script. You see, I always carry it with me. How about 800 yuan for you?"
I took this old book with the body temperature and taste of the old man and looked through it. It turned out to be a celestial book. The text in it was still oracle bone inscriptions, but the illustrations were very vivid, so I said: "I bought this book 80!"
As soon as the old man heard that I wiped a zero, he immediately snatched the book back, saying that there was no such bargaining.
I was a little tempted by this book, but 800 yuan is too expensive, so I went to look at other books. He has a lot of thread-bound ancient books here, but I hope that I can find only orphaned copies here. It is unlikely.
However, I saw a hand-copied version of the Dali Dharma Vajrasana Sutra on the beach, and asked the stall owner: "How much is this notebook?"
The stall owner took a look and said, "No counter-offer for fifty yuan!"
The things here are indeed very expensive. I hesitate and want this "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" very much, but there is not enough money in my pocket. At this time, A Guang led the two beauties back, holding fish tofu and roasting in his hand. Gluten.
Qingqing stuffed two skewers of grilled gluten and fish tofu into my hand, but how can I be in the mood to eat it
It was getting dark. I delivered the skewers to the stall owner and said frankly: "Old man, I like your book very much, but I don’t have enough money. I’m still in the hospital for an internship. Can you sell it to me cheaper? , This is for you to eat!"
The stall owner refused, and A Guang asked, "What book? Let me have a look too!"
He held the roasted gluten in his mouth and reached out to this "Shen Nong's Ben Cao Jing". After opening it, his mouth opened, and the roasted gluten in his mouth fell out. He shouted, "What kind of book is this? It’s all about writing ghost symbols, how much is it?"
The stall owner suspected that the roasted gluten in his mouth had stained his book, so he took out a rag to clean it up.
A Guang asked me: "Xiaohua, did you like this book?"
I nodded and agreed, but he threw it at the book stand and said, "Can you understand it?"
The stall owner picked up the book and carefully flicked off the grease on it. He said: "The seller knows the goods, don't read it if you don't understand it. How can I sell my book if it gets dirty?"
A Guang was attracted by the sex on his tricycle, so he picked it up and read it, and said, "This book is not bad, with illustrations, lifelike, how much do I want it?"
Cui Xiaoqiang blushed when he saw the title of the book, and Tan advocated: "500 yuan, no bargaining!"
After hearing this, Aguang said: "The lion opened his mouth, do you think I'm a fool?" Then he threw down the book, took me and left, and his cousin and Qingqing hurriedly followed.
I said to him: "Don't worry, I really want that "Shen Nong's Materia Medica"."
He said to me: "Nerdy, then you buy it!"
I confessed that there was not enough money in my pocket, and even if an old book sold for 800, it was really a lion's mouth open.
A Guang said, "You get in the car and wait for me!" He called in a taxi and said to the driver: "I have forgotten things at the gate of the temple, so I will get them and come back soon!"
My cousin Qingqing and I were still squeezed in the back seat. Soon Ah Guang hurried back, opened the door, sat in the passenger seat, and said to the driver, "Lotus Park!"
The driver kicked the accelerator and drove us away. I heard the scream of the old man selling old books and turned to look out of the rear window of the car. The old man chased him out, crying and yelling.
So I asked A Guang what happened
He handed me the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" and said: "It's nothing, this old man is too dark. I bought this from him for a hundred yuan, and I feel a little bit at a loss. I can't understand the text on it. Hold it if you like it!" (End of this chapter)
