Chapter 63 Taoist Medicine
In the room.
Xu Xiaoli heard the conversation among the monks outside.
She turned her head and said, "Master, they are really planning to treat you as the reincarnation of Buddha."
Fang Yi said: "Yes, and the Zen master just said that as long as I do not deny that I am the reincarnation of Buddha, he will give me the method to kill the three corpses."
Xu Xiaoli asked, "Why didn't I hear the Zen master say that?"
"Didn't he just say that as long as I am willing to regain my 'wisdom', the temple door will always be open to me?"
Fang Yi smiled and shook his head, saying: "What he meant by this sentence is that he is willing to give me the method to kill the three corpses, but he needs conditions in exchange."
"The condition is that you must not deny that you are not the reincarnation of Buddha?"
Xu Xiaoli asked with a blink.
Fang Yi waved his hand and said, "It's not just that simple. I still owe him a favor."
Xu Xiaoli understood this time.
Zen Master Jiecheng’s meaning is very simple.
You don’t have to say that you are the reincarnation of Buddha.
But we say you are, so just don't deny it outside.
Xu Xiaoli asked: "Do you want to owe me this favor?"
Fang Yi asked back, "Whoever you get this secret method from, you have to owe a favor. Who do you think you owe a favor to? Longhu Mountain may have the method of beheading the three corpses, but I can't wait any longer."
yes.
I'm sure I can't wait any longer.
I almost went insane during my practice yesterday.
Who knows what will happen next if we delay any further?
I haven't had any intention of killing yet.
If the problem is not solved and the murderous intent is aroused, how great a sin will we commit?
Fang Yi thought very clearly.
Just like what I said to Xu Xiaoli.
No matter who you owe a favor to, it’s not a debt.
It’s better to choose what is readily available.
After all, I'm not sure what Longhushan's attitude towards me is.
Don't rush over and get nothing.
A thousand sheep in sight is not as good as a rabbit in hand.
…
Tianning Temple, at the entrance of the Thousand Buddha Hall.
Zen Master Jiecheng, Master Dingzhao and others stretched their necks and stared towards the foot of the mountain.
Although they were prepared to mistake Fang Yi for the reincarnation of Buddha.
But if the other party refuses to come, they dare not do so.
After all, the other party is a real person with enlightenment.
It's easier to crush them than to crush an ant.
But it would be different if Fang Yi really came.
Express willingness to exchange conditions.
They can then "borrow the power of the tiger to bully others".
"He won't not come, will he?" Master Dingzhao asked with some concern.
How can Zen Master Jiecheng be sure?
He still said stubbornly, "No, since he came to visit yesterday to obtain the law breaking law, he must be very anxious to get it. I guess he is calculating the pros and cons. He should come, don't worry."
"If he is really willing to come, we can find an opportunity to invite him to appear in a dream or in front of people like he did last night. This will definitely make our temple famous, and it is not impossible for it to even become the number one Buddhist temple." Another old monk said excitedly.
Several other people thought so too.
At first they were not prepared to hand over the broken laws left by Zen Master Wo Yun to outsiders.
Even if the other party is an enlightened person.
Because Buddhism and Taoism are incompatible.
But after seeing the real person's magical powers last night, they changed their minds.
Regardless of the large scale, the saints appear in dreams.
Or he appeared before people and the Buddha's light condensed into a giant Buddha.
The two magical powers are absolutely perfect for missionary work.
There is also a chance to make Tianning Temple a Buddhist holy place.
Who can resist such huge benefits?
Plus they go on pilgrimage and worship fake Buddha.
No matter what, this matter must not be spread.
Therefore, the monks would rather worship the wrong person than deny that Fang Yi is the reincarnation of Buddha.
They originally didn't want to give the secret method, but now they were worried and afraid that Fang Yi would not come.
By then, not to mention huge profits, even your reputation will be ruined.
Just when the mages were worried.
Fang Yi and Xu Xiaoli appeared at the foot of the mountain.
Zen Master Jiecheng, who seemed very calm at first, almost jumped up and said, "Quick! Follow me to welcome him!"
After saying that, he ran down without caring about his old arms and legs.
Master Dingzhao, Master Jingxiu and others all followed closely behind excitedly.
Soon, the two sides met.
Zen Master Jiecheng called out "Amitabha" and with a smile on his face, he stretched out his hand towards the mountain gate and said, "Buddha, I will lead you to the Sutra Library."
Fang Yi looked at him, blinked and said, "I will never admit that I am the reincarnation of Buddha."
Zen Master Jiecheng smiled very brightly, "You don't need to admit it. We think you are who you are."
Master Dingzhao and others also smiled knowingly.
They all understood what Fang Yi meant. It was simply that if you want to say that I am the reincarnation of Buddha, I will not refute it, but don't expect me to admit it.
…
Soon, we arrived at the Sutra Repository.
Master Jiecheng took the key and opened the door, saying, "Buddha, the chamber is full of scriptures. The small box locked in the left corner contains the manuscripts left by our predecessor, Master Woyun. The master is very knowledgeable in Buddhism. You can read more of it. Perhaps you can regain your wisdom."
After saying this, he handed over the iron key.
"Thank you." Fang Yi took it and looked to the left. "Xiao Li, wait for me outside."
Xu Xiaoli nodded, "Okay."
Fang Yi said nothing more, stepped over the threshold and entered the Sutra Library.
In addition to dozens of bookshelves and tens of thousands of Buddhist scriptures, the Sutra Repository also houses numerous Buddha statues.
He just took a quick glance and walked straight to the left corner.
This is a single bookshelf.
There is only a small iron box on it.
Broken law enforcement should be in it.
Fang Yi couldn't help but feel a little excited.
The three corpses problem has troubled me for a long time.
Finally there is a solution!
Insert the key into the keyhole.
A twist.
There was a clicking sound.
The small iron box opened from the middle.
Fang Yi suppressed his excitement and carefully opened the lid of the box.
I saw a blue-covered book lying quietly on the bright yellow cloth.
The words "Break Obsession" are written on the cover.
"Finally got the law enforcement!"
Fang Yi quickly took out the books.
Open.
The first page is the directory.
There are four entries written on it: "Self-attachment", "Dharma-attachment", "Emptiness-attachment" and "Postscript".
Below is some information about the life of Zen Master Wo Yun.
It can be said that he was an accomplished monk during the reign of Emperor Wu of Liang.
Another page turned.
The title above is "What is Egoism?"
At the beginning, I wrote a very mysterious passage.
Something like "All appearances are false".
Until Fang Yi turned another page.
Only then did we see the substantive content.
He slowly read out the contents, "This stinking skin bag is infested with hundreds of bugs. All kinds of medicine can cure it, but two of them are hard to get rid of. There is another one that cannot be cured. Taoism says there are three corpses and nine bugs, which means the hundreds of bugs in the body. Nine is the maximum number, a general term, not a number."
"Hmm? This is not the Buddhist concept of breaking attachments, but more like Taoism. Could it be that this Zen Master Wo Yun was originally a Taoist and converted to Buddhism?"
Fang Yi suddenly thought of something. "I remember that Buddhism reached its peak during the reign of Emperor Wu of Liang. At that time, there were more than 500 Buddhist temples and more than 100,000 monks in Jiankang, the capital of the Liang Dynasty. The main reason was that Emperor Wu of Liang believed in Taoism in his early years, but later chose to abandon Taoism and issued an edict of 'abandoning Taoism and serving Buddhism' to suppress Taoism. Therefore, many Taoists at that time had no choice but to turn to Buddhism."
Could it be that this Zen Master Wo Yun is actually a senior Taoist master?
Fang Yi couldn't help but become interested.
He wanted to see whether the content behind the law of breaking left by Zen Master Wo Yun was actually a Taoist method.
Then……
Well, he found that it was indeed not the Buddhist way to break obsessions.
To be precise, this book is the parasitology of ancient Taoist medicine.
It provides a detailed introduction to the various parasites in the human body.
It is also noted in detail that these are all three corpse worms.
For example, roundworms, tapeworms, hookworms, etc. in the digestive tract.
For example, liver fluke, hydatid cyst and so on in the liver.
These books describe in detail what the parasites look like and include diagrams of the human body structure.
Fang Yi read on without blinking.
By the way, he also used his spiritual sense to look inward.
I discovered that the three corpse worms recorded in this book on parasitology had nothing to do with me.
Because there are no parasites in his body at all.
Finally, after flipping through more than a dozen pages.
He saw the "three corpses and two worms" that were difficult to treat with medicine.
The first book describes a white, translucent toxoplasm-shaped worm.
This worm hides in human blood and can damage the brain, heart, fundus, etc., causing people to suffer from various diseases.
"Huh, Toxoplasma?"
Fang Yi couldn't help but be moved and surprised.
There was no such thing as cells in ancient Chinese medical concepts.
Ancient doctors could not detect Toxoplasma gondii parasites inside cells and could only diagnose it based on the patient’s symptoms. Eventually, it was listed as one of the three corpse worms.
He once again used his spiritual sense to scan all the cells in his body and found no Toxoplasma gondii.
"Since no Toxoplasma was found, then the three corpse gods that affected me must not be Toxoplasma."
Fang Yi patiently continued reading.
The second type of Tripterygium that is difficult to treat with medicine is described in books as "ring-shaped".
This worm hides in the liver when it is young, and enters the blood after it grows into an adult.
“Isn’t this Plasmodium?”
Fang Yi understood it as soon as he saw the description. "This is also a parasite that grows inside cells. It's not that there was no treatment in ancient times, but it's generally difficult to detect. By the time it is discovered, the malarial parasite has basically already begun to break out."
He scanned himself with his spiritual sense again.
There are indeed no Plasmodium parasites.
"This is weird. I don't have any of the parasites described in the book. How could I be affected?"
Fang Yi didn't believe it and looked at the last insect.
The next moment, he suddenly realized and finally understood what the three corpse worms in his body were!
