Master Daoyi was well-versed in the ways of health preservation and was also proficient in traditional Chinese medicine. In addition, he had a fortuitous encounter when he was young, so he was very familiar with the spiritual energy in the pills, which tasted exactly like the spring water he had accidentally drunk when he was young.
At that time, he was just a novice monk in a small temple deep in the mountains. He was ignorant of the world and extremely stupid. His fellow disciples had finished their lessons long ago, but he just couldn't memorize them no matter what. Helpless, his master only let him fetch water and plant vegetables, so he was carefree.
One day, he accidentally entered a cave where there was a small spring. The water was crystal clear and had a pleasant fragrance. He couldn't resist taking a few sips. It was sweet, so he simply drank the whole spring.
That night, he was in so much pain that he rolled on the ground and went to the outhouse all night. His master and fellow disciples thought he had developed colic and wouldn't make it through. But the next day, he was as good as new. He hadn't slept all night but was still full of energy, carrying water and planting vegetables as usual, and he was even stronger than usual.
The most surprising thing was that he found that the scriptures, which were usually difficult to understand, became much simpler after drinking the spring water. He could memorize them perfectly after reading them only three times at most, and he could also apply what he learned to other situations and figure out the Buddhist teachings that even his master could not understand.
His master said he had finally seen the light, while his fellow disciples said he had expelled all the dross that night. But only he knew that it was thanks to that spring.
He went to drink from the spring several more times, but unfortunately only one drop could be dripped each day. He didn't know how many years it had taken for the spring water he had drunk from before to accumulate.
Even after he became a famous monk and traveled around lecturing, he would still return to the cave to drink spring water every now and then. But fate is unpredictable. In those years, war broke out everywhere, and the sound of cannons could be heard and refugees could be seen fleeing.
He was trapped in the mountain town for several years, and finally the war ended. But when he went to the cave again, he found that the mountain had been flattened by bombs, the cave had disappeared without a trace, and there was no spring water left.
Since then, Master Daoyi has searched all over the mountains, big and small, across the country, but he has never been able to find the spiritual spring water again. He knew that his fate with the spiritual spring water had come to an end, but he never expected to see it again today.
Although he had already seen through life and death, Master Daoyi still couldn't hide his joy. Without hesitation, he swallowed a pill. The young novice monk couldn't stop him in time and looked at his master with worry, afraid that he might do something bad.
Ye Qingqing smiled and reassured her, "Don't worry, this is a tonic; it will only benefit you."
The young novice monk pouted and remained silent; that's what everyone who sells fake medicine says.
Master Daoyi remained silent for a few seconds. The pill transformed into a warm current within his body, nourishing his stiffening joints. His whole body felt warm and comfortable, a long-lost sensation that made him want to hum a few times.
There is a divine will at play here. He helped Ye Qingqing, but in doing so, he created an opportunity for himself. It was indeed a case of sowing good seeds and reaping good fruit.
"The medicine is very good, thank you very much, Benefactor Ye." Master Daoyi bowed with one hand.
Ye Qingqing quickly returned the greeting, "You're welcome. I prepared this medicine myself. Call me when you've finished taking it."
"Alright, I won't stand on ceremony." Master Daoyi's smile grew even more enigmatic, like that of an old fox.
Ye Qingqing glanced at Sang Liangjie and asked, "Master, what exactly happened to my cousin? How could he suddenly be possessed by a vengeful ghost?"
Master Daoyi's expression was solemn. "Your cousin's situation is not a simple case of being possessed by a vengeful ghost. It is an extremely insidious method that uses drugs and incantations to transfer the vengeful ghost's hatred onto an innocent person. Your cousin is quite unlucky."
