Chapter 795: Delivering Medicine
Zeng Gong's gaze fell on the magical medicine, and he explained the benefits and disadvantages. He said, "This elixir can not only dissolve Taiyin, but it is also a Taiyin spiritual seed. Not only does it have unique benefits for nourishing the spirit and refining the method, it can also heal many injuries to the vital energy. It has extraordinary uses and extraordinary value. It cannot be measured by ordinary things. Have you thought it through?"
Gong Mengbi nodded and said, "To be honest, I'm not short of spiritual objects for cultivation. Since I've come across this, I think it's fate. If your patient can afford it, I might as well give it to him."
Zeng Gong was delighted and said, "That's great! It's worth my trip."
"But I have another unwelcome request."
"Please go ahead."
Gong Mengbi glanced at Master Yu beside him and said, "Master Yu is a truly filial man. Although this is my first meeting with him, I admire his character. His mother is seriously ill and only a medical master like you can save her. I beg Master Zeng to help him, which will fulfill his filial piety."
Master Yu's eyes suddenly widened, and he quickly stood up and said, "Please, Master Zeng, please save my mother's life. I am willing to give away all my wealth and work like a slave to repay you."
The monk in charge of reception also pleaded for him, saying, "Mr. Yu is indeed copying sutras and praying for his mother in this temple, and he has a pure filial heart. Mr. Zeng is kind-hearted, so please help him."
Mr. Zeng looked at Mr. Yu. There was a hint of melancholy between the brows of the scholar. He looked at him nervously, his eyes full of pleading.
Zeng Gong smiled and said, "As this young master said, since we have met, it must be fate. Once I have finished this matter, I will go to your house to treat your mother's illness."
Master Yu was overjoyed and bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Zeng!"
Zeng Gong nodded and said to Gong Mengbi, "May I know your name, sir?"
"My surname is Gong, my courtesy name is Mingfu, and Mr. Zeng just calls me Mingfu."
"Then I'll go ask my patient if he's willing to pay for the cinnamon in Master Mingfu's hand. If he's willing, I'll take you there tomorrow morning."
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "The blind man even invited Mr. Zeng, so why wouldn't he be willing? Mr. Zeng can just take me there directly. Why bother running back and forth like this?"
Zeng Gong slowly shook his head and said, "Mr. Mingfu has romantic interests, but others may not be so. My patient is indeed eager to obtain the medicine, but it depends on whether he can afford the price. Otherwise, if I take Mr. Mingfu with me, I'm afraid he will force the sale and force me to change the medicine even if I don't want to."
"I see. Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Zeng."
"That's fine."
Zeng Gong returned to the table and said, "Masters, by chance, I'm afraid we won't be able to continue discussing the Dao today. When I'm done, I'll come to Dafu Lingjiu Temple to meet you all."
The abbot waved his hand and said, "Is there anything more important than curing illnesses and saving lives? Go ahead, business is more important."
Mr. Zeng hurried away under the moonlight.
The abbot looked at Gong Mengbi and Master Yu and said with a smile, "It's a coincidence that we met. It's a beautiful story indeed."
Gong Mengbi held up the half-eaten peach and gestured to the abbot with a smile. The abbot also smiled and asked the monk beside him to send a few more fruits from his table mountain to the table of Gong Mengbi and Master Yu.
Mr. Yu was very grateful and kept thanking the receptionist and the abbot.
"Mr. Yu's handwriting is very good. Each word is like a pearl and can shine brightly at night. If you really want to thank him, please copy another scroll of scriptures for us." said the abbot.
Mr. Yu solemnly agreed.
The guest of honor had already left, and the abbot and several accompanying Zen masters apologized and left one after another.
Gong Mengbi and Yu Gongzi, who were there to eat and drink for free, would not stay long. The receptionist ordered two monks to deliver fruits to their rooms, and the banquet was over.
At dawn the next day, after breakfast, Zeng Gong came to look for Gong Mengbi again accompanied by the receptionist.
Seeing Gong Mengbi, Zeng Gong said happily, "Master Mingfu, I have already agreed with the patient that he is willing to exchange the Purple Cloud Fairy Ganoderma for the Moon Osmanthus Fruit in your hand. I have seen the Ganoderma, and it is also a treasure that can enhance spiritual cultivation. The Osmanthus nourishes the spirit, and the Ganoderma nourishes the Qi. Although their qualities are different, they are both very valuable."
Gong Mengbi was even more delighted and said, "I'm sorry to bother Mr. Zeng."
Zeng Gong said, "It's just a couple of trips. What's the big deal? There's no time to lose. Master Mingfu, please follow me."
Zeng Gong took Gong Mingfu out of Dafu Lingjiu Temple and headed south. Zeng Gong rode the wind and Gong Mengbi followed him.
But in a short while, they arrived at a beautiful mountain.
"here it is?"
"This is Huanghua Mountain. My patient is practicing in this mountain."
Gong Mengbi followed Zeng Gong up the mountain and saw a Buddhist temple with a plaque with the words "Lingying Temple" hanging on the temple gate. The monks waiting in front of the door saw Zeng Gong and happily came forward to greet him.
"Mr. Zeng, you are finally here. Grandfather Fox King ordered me to wait here overnight."
Gong Mengbi took one look at him and realized that he was also a fox.
The fox led Zeng Gong and Gong Mengbi into the temple. Gong Mengbi saw that the temple was full of strange monks, mostly foxes, with a few other spirits. They were all transformed into human forms in an orderly manner, and some Zen light was emitted from their bodies. They were not wearing robes to pretend to be monks.
Very interesting.
Looking up, Gong Mengbi saw a series of palaces hidden among them. There were ten large halls, each enshrining a variety of sacred Buddhas. The two in front of him alone, one enshrined the statue of the Dragon King, and the other enshrined the statue of Guanyin.
It is often too early to see any pilgrims, but the thick ash piled in the incense burner and the smell of incense coming out of the temple can still make people feel that Lingying Temple is very popular.
The monk led the two men to the meditation room. Two young monks serving at the door called out, "Grandpa Fox King, Mr. Zeng is here."
"The one with the magic medicine is here too."
"Come in."
When the door of the Zen room opened, he saw a middle-aged man wearing monk's robes, with a dignified face and hair tied in a monk's hat. He was dressed like a half-monk, but not a monk. He was the spiritual fox king that Gong Mengbi had seen.
The Fox King "looked" at Zeng Gong, and sure enough, there were no pupils in his eyes, only a void.
