Chapter two hundred and seventy-one, everything has action, like a dream bubble
At this time, inside the door of Qiao's house, a ray of light from the morning sun hit Mrs. Li's face, and her fair complexion seemed to gradually turn rosy.
Qiao Zheng thought he was dreaming.
Until... Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao ran out quickly.
Until, the sisters dragged Lu Yu and ran in again.
Everyone tacitly moved out of the way to allow "Medical Immortal" Lu Yuxing to reach Mrs. Li's side.
At this moment, Mrs. Li's face was a little sallow, her eyes were open, as if... From everyone's actions and words, she could realize that the person who brought her back from the gate of hell was the "Medical Immortal" named Lu Yu in front of her.
!
cough…
Cough lightly.
Lu Yu did not ask Mrs. Li directly, but looked around, looking for his "nephew"!
The two apprentice nephews were very discerning and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Uncle Shi has checked. The temperature on his forehead has dropped and the high fever has gone away."
Hearing this, Lu Yu's eyes flashed with excitement and he nodded slightly.
He asked: "Mrs. Li, how do you feel?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Li sat up with the support of several maids, and said angrily:
"I...I can't tell what I feel. It seems like I had a dream. I dreamed that I was in the water, and then...then I was very thirsty, but I couldn't drink water no matter what. Now...my throat is also very dry now, and I want to drink water."
.”
It turned out that without Lu Yu's instructions, no one in the lobby dared to feed Mrs. Li water, for fear that something would happen again because of a bowl of water.
Lu Yu looked around.
"Da Qiao? Xiao Qiao? Why are you still standing there? Your mother is thirsty and needs a drink of water!"
this…
Suddenly, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were stunned.
"Hot water? Or...or cold water?"
Xiao Qiao quickly asked...
Hearing this, Lu Yu was stunned.
He muttered to himself, no wonder in ancient times... even a viral cold could be cured to the point of fainting.
Even when asked to drink water, I was frightened and hesitated again and again... If I were a doctor, would I dare to give him medicine?
"Okay." Lu Yu replied without thinking, but felt that this answer was not rigorous and shook his head again. "But it's not completely okay."
"Then...you still have to insist on taking the medicine?" Qiao Zheng asked next.
"Of course you have to take the medicine, but..." Lu Yu said halfway before swallowing all the rest. "Mr. Qiao, can you let me have a few words with Madam."
In Lu Yu's view, Mrs. Li's illness appeared to be fever and syncope caused by a viral cold.
But in fact, this disease originates from the heart, and if you can't get over it... it will recur sooner or later.
This is also the reason why Mrs. Li's illness has been erratic and endless for so many years. The main reason is that there is no cure for heart diseases. The so-called heart diseases require heart medicine!
Over here... Lu Yu blurted out his suggestion of chatting alone. Qiao Zheng turned to ask Mrs. Li for her opinion. When she saw her gently nodding, he stood up and shouted: "Everyone, please come out with me and let Dr. Lu do it for you."
Wife, please make a good diagnosis."
As he spoke, the clearing began...
"Then...what about us?" Da Qiao hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth to ask Lu Yu. "Do you need us to stay and help?"
"No, you have to go out." Lu Yu's tone was serious, as if he was afraid of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, so he added another sentence. "Don't worry, you'll be fine soon!"
This time...
Everyone slowly exited.
Mrs. Li leaned on the soft cushion and lay on her side, opening her eyes as wide as possible, looking at the medical fairy in front of her, or...the benefactor.
"My benefactor, if you have anything to ask, you might as well say it directly... I... I will definitely tell you everything I know, and I will tell you everything... ahem..."
Mrs. Li asked weakly. Although she felt much better now, she still coughed occasionally.
See everyone exit…
Lu Yu just sat on the bedside. He did not face Mrs. Li, but glanced out the window and said:
"In the first year of Chuping, the Dong bandits were rampant in Luoyang City. The fire that burned the whole city probably also burned down Mrs. Li's family. And this incident has become a nightmare that will never go away in Mrs. Li's heart, right?
"
The reason why I firmly believe that the root cause of Mrs. Li's illness lies here is because Lu Yu had a special conversation with Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao about this matter, and also obtained a lot of information from Qiao Zheng.
The death of both biological parents and the destruction of the family are such tragedies that forcefully fall on a woman, and the probability of suffering from depression will undoubtedly increase greatly.
You know, Lin Daiyu could suffer from depression and illness all her life because of her mother's death!
Mrs. Li has encountered an even worse situation. How can she get out of this knot in her heart and this nightmare?
And the solution...
Those scholars who are obsessed with "Red Studies" have come up with one, and only one - becoming a nun and practicing the Qing Deng Ancient Buddha to put an end to distracting thoughts in their hearts.
Really understand - "No self, no one, no sentient beings"!
Of course…
In fact, Lu Yu doesn't like Buddhism, because in his opinion...
In troubled times, Buddhism only closes mountains and avoids temples, but in prosperous times, it opens mountains to attract wealth. It's a bit shameless!
In addition, the ancient Buddhist monks, apart from eating fast, chanting Buddha's name, working out in the morning and evening, and carrying out the so-called promotion of Buddhism and saving all sentient beings, they only had to count the incense and money at night, right?
Lu Yu really doesn't think they have made any positive contributions to this era.
Even people in Buddhism don’t have to pay taxes, don’t do corvee and military service, they destroy human nature, they are not allowed to touch women, your uncle... The population of Guda is small to begin with, and there is no reproduction of men and women, so where can the inheritance of the family and country come from?
For this reason, Lu Yu has always had a bad impression of Buddhism.
but…
Buddhism has the same thing.
That is, their Buddhist scriptures can often weave a "dream" similar to "Plato", making people fall into it and unable to extricate themselves...
At least, Mrs. Li needs this dream now.
She needs an imaginary paradise to comfort her wounded heart.
Speaking of which, it has only been a hundred years since Buddhism was introduced to the Han Dynasty. Except for the White Horse Temple, there are very few Buddhist temples in the entire Han Dynasty.
Therefore…
Due to Mrs. Li's condition, it is not easy for her to become a monk and stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world.
but…
If you can’t leave home, you can still practice at home!
"Mrs. Li, I didn't mean to mention your tragic past, but...this happened many years ago, and it's time to let go of many things."
Lu Yu casually comforted...
Of course, he also knew that such consolation was of no use.
"My benefactor, I...why don't I want to forget it?"
Mrs. Li lowered her head. It seemed that because of the mention of this topic, tears burst out of the corners of her eyes and scattered on the ground like broken beads.
This proves that she wants to forget...
But who can forget the feeling like the sky is falling when the bad news comes?
"I know it's hard to forget, so..." Lu Yu stood up, took out two thick bamboo slips from his arms, and handed them to Mrs. Li. "I heard from Xiao Qiao that Mrs. Li is literate and has free time.
On this occasion, you might as well calm down and read this book carefully. Maybe it will be beneficial to Mrs. Li's condition."
At this point, Lu Yu had nothing more to say.
He is not a psychiatrist who helps people solve their knots. How can he have such ability?
but…
He can't, but these two books can!
"Mrs. Li." Lu Yu murmured something as he walked out the door. "Everything in the world has its destiny. If you should go, just let the wind go. It's a blessing in disguise! Let everything take its course, and everything will go as it should.
If you just go with the flow, you will save yourself a lot of unnecessary worries."
"Imagine, Mrs. Li's parents died in the fire in the first year of Chuping, and Mrs. Li was in pain. But if Mrs. Li made any mistake and died in the Qiao family in Wuzhou Mountain in the second year of Jian'an, that big Qiao,
Xiao Qiao, are they going to be devastated? Are they suffering from the same illness as Mrs. Li? What mistakes have they made, and why do they have to endure the nightmare and torture in Mrs. Li's heart!"
After saying the last sentence, Lu Yu slowly walked out of the room.
Only Mrs. Li opened her eyes as wide as possible, as if... she was recalling, thinking, pondering... the meaning of Lu Yu's words.
The benefactor is right...
The nightmare in her heart should not...should not be carried by Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao!
With some force on her wrist, Mrs. Li's fingers touched the bamboo slips in front of her.
On it, the name carved by the swordsman and penman suddenly emerged.
——"Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra"
——"Diamond Sutra"
This is?
With doubts, she murmured in her heart, could this... could this help her get out of the nightmare?
Since my benefactor ordered me to see it, then...then it must be possible!
…
…
Jiangdong, Wu County, Lu Family Mansion.
In the study, there is a desk and two people sitting on their knees.
The one on the left is Lu Ji, and the one on the right is Lu Ji's nephew in name, but actually the patriarch of the Lu family - Lu Xun.
The two of them took a sip of tea each...
This conversation has also reached its climax!
"As expected of Boyan, you expected everything." Lu Ji spoke first... "The situation in Lujiang is indeed not as simple as it seems. Just as Boyan predicted, Cao Jun was also involved."
"And Lu Yu's move, combined with Huang Zu of Jiangxia to lure the enemy deep into the urn, is really exquisite. It's no wonder that he, the little overlord, is the unicorn, and Zhou Gongjin is defeated and returns..."
"I heard that the Sun family suffered a terrible defeat this time. Only about 3,000 of the 20,000 soldiers escaped! Lu Yu's victory over the Sun family this time has really created a bad breath for our Lu family."
As if out of excitement, Lu Ji said a lot in one breath...
Speaking of which, the Lu family and the Sun family have always had a quarrel. Sun Ce, following Yuan Shu's military orders, attacked Lujiang City where Lu Kang was stationed, indirectly forcing Lu Kang to death. As Lu Kang's son, Lu Ji had always hated Sun Ce.
This time, the reincarnation of heaven...
Sun Ce was beaten by Lu Yu to the point where he was as frightened as a lost dog. It was so refreshing to relieve his anger!
And the more relaxing thing is yet to come...
According to Lu Ji's investigation, there are already many powerful people in Jiangdong who are ready to make moves, and Sun Ce's position as the overlord of Jiangdong is not secure.
"Gongji... Let's not talk about this for now!"
Compared to Lu Kang's excitement, Lu Xun seemed much calmer.
Of course, he was also very happy about Sun Ce's defeat in Lujiang.
But what is even more exciting than this is Lu Yu.
Now, through several investigations and detailed questioning of the tribesmen who knew about the matter, Lu Xun...
Basically, he is 90% sure...
Lu Yu is the son of his father's sister Lu Ling. This big Han Si Nong is the commander of the Long Xiao camp. He and the Lu family have broken bones and connected their tendons.
"I have recently asked many people who went to Dunqiu to investigate Lu Ling's case..."
"What is certain is that my aunt Lu Ling did live in Dunqiu after she and her father separated, and... eighteen years ago, aunt Lu had a son, but it is a pity that we have not found out who his father is?
However... there is a key piece of information that can prove the relationship between Lu Yu and our Lu family."
At this point, Lu Xun's tone became more serious.
"When Aunt Lu's son was born, he had an obvious birthmark on his inner thigh, which looked like a spear. He was ready to come out, so powerful and domineering!"
"Many old people in Dunqiu County know about this, and they say that the birthmark of the spear predicts the future of the child - the spear emerges like a dragon, and a pillar holds up the sky!"
Hiss... birthmark!
Also on the inner thigh, the gun shoots out like a dragon, a pillar holding up the sky?
At this point, Lu Ji moved closer to Lu Xun.
"What does Boyan mean?"
Before Lu Ji could speak, Lu Xun said first, "I heard that Lu Sinong from Cao Ying is currently at Qiao's Gate in Wuzhou Mountain in Lujiang. I plan to go there... to verify this birthmark."
Although Lu Xun has found out through various channels...
Lu Yu was a boy rescued by Cai Yong and Cai Yan in Dunqiu County before the Yellow Turban Uprising, and he took his mother's surname.
In fact, this is enough to confirm the relationship between Lu Yu and the Lu family.
But in order to be sure, and to let Lu Yu know that he still had a maternal clan, Lu Xun decided to take the risk and go to Jiangbei and Lujiang. He had to meet this brother!
"Bo Yan really wants to go?" Lu Ji's brows furrowed.
The reason why I ask this is because Sun Ce was newly defeated in Jiangdong. In order to prevent young people from taking advantage of the situation, Zhou Yu ordered that no one be allowed to go to Jiangbei!
And arranged for boats to patrol along the way...
If Lu Xun goes to Jiangbei, he will undoubtedly have to bear certain risks.
"You must go, even if it is risky."
Lu Xun's face became extremely serious. He took a long breath and sighed towards Lu Ji.
"Gongji... Although our Lu family was once one of the four major families in Jiangdong, it has long since declined. Originally... we had only one choice to survive in a crack, which was to join the Sun family, put aside our past grudges, and revive the family, but..."
Speaking of which…
Lu Xun paused, and his tone became much higher.
"But... now, because of Lu Yu's identity, we have one more choice. Not only can we defect to the Sun family, we can also defect to Cao Cao, and we can also be loyal to the emperor... and even serve as Cao Cao's internal agent in Jiangdong!
"Lu Yu is the most valued person by Cao Cao. As long as the Lu family and Lu Yu can establish contact, maybe... in Jiangdong, not... not just in Jiangdong, but in the entire Han Dynasty, our Lu family can create a different situation!
We don’t need to rely on the little overlord Sun Bofu, we don’t need to rely on Jiangdong Qilin Zhou Gongjin, our Lu family should be prosperous and can be prosperous!"
At this point, Lu Xun's emotions were completely aroused...
He suddenly stood up.
"I have a premonition, a very strong premonition, that Lu Yu is... the person who can revive our Lu family again!"
"He must be the one!"
The tone is firm and the words are sonorous...
It had been three years since Lu Xun had said something like this so loudly.
It’s like…
He has already looked ahead to the future and seen the hope of the revival of the Lu family!
…
…
Lujiang, Wuzhou Mountain, Qiaojiamen.
The improved Mahuang Decoction has miraculous effects on treating viral colds, especially since Lu Yu added a dose of honeysuckle, although symptoms such as nausea and drowsiness may occur during the medication.
However, its greatest role is to “treat the root cause”.
The so-called "Chinese medicine cures the root cause"!
Of course, there is still some gap in efficacy between Mahuang Decoction and later drugs such as "Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid".
However, the good thing is that people in this era are not like those in later generations, because they rely on modern drug treatment and have a high degree of drug resistance in their bodies.
For example... Mrs. Li has almost no drug resistance in her body.
Therefore... within seven days, she was already able to go to the ground, her body was strong enough, and she could eat two large bowls at one meal.
The feeling of recovering from this serious illness is like being reborn.
but…
The viral cold has been cured, but if the depression does not subside, Mrs. Li will still fall ill sooner or later if she lives in the nightmare of her family being destroyed and her parents dead day and night!
This is a heart disease!
But... the strange thing is that during this period, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were surprised to find that their mother's mood seemed to have suddenly become much calmer.
She no longer sheds tears like she used to, instead...my mother would stay alone in the house for a long time, holding a scroll of bamboo slips in her hand, reading silently!
Of course, this is not accurate...
Because...she read silently at first, but as she read, she started to read and chant...
"Namo Amitabha..."
"Namo Amitabha..."
Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao didn't understand, so they curiously asked their mother, but Mrs. Li's answer made them even more confused.
——“No self, no human being, no sentient being, no lifespan.”
——"All appearances are false. If you see all appearances that are not true, you will see the Tathagata!"
——"All conditioned phenomena are like bubbles in a dream, like dew or lightning, and should be viewed as such."
this…
What and what?
Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao look at me and I look at you...it seems that they know every word spoken by their mother.
But they couldn't figure it out when they were put together.
Of course.
How could they understand Mrs. Li's current state of mind?
Because of the "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra" and the "Diamond Sutra", Mrs. Li has completely seen...
The difference between ordinary people and "Tathagata" lies in "appearance". Only by breaking through the illusory nature of "appearance" and not being attracted by various illusions can we achieve spiritual liberation.
And through the perception of this Buddhist state, Mrs. Li became enlightened!
The tragic death of parents and the destruction of the family, isn't this "phase"? Phase comes from the heart, so why bother with it?
After a few days, Mrs. Li had some insights into Buddhism...
She seems to have been able to achieve that "not to be happy with things, not to be sad with oneself"!
certainly…
This kind of look, in the eyes of Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, and Qiao Zheng, is somewhat nagging.
But...as long as Mrs. Li no longer sheds tears like before, and no longer wakes up from nightmares late at night, this...is enough.
From the perspective of the entire Qiao family, Mrs. Li's health is more important than anything else.
And along with it…
It’s time for Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao to fulfill their past promises!
…
This day…
Countless sycamore trees look like beautiful girls standing in the fields.
The tree head holds bunches of gray-brown buds, eagerly looking forward to the lover who will only appear in dreams, who will be together for a long time and separated for a long time!
Above the Yangtze River, blue waves are rippling...
Several "green boats" unique to the Lujiang River are particularly eye-catching and dazzling under the sun.
It was just such a day.
Lu Yu opened the door and was about to have breakfast...
But he saw a maid running over in a hurry.
"Master Lu is not well..."
"Second Miss...she...she..."
The maid seemed to be out of breath because she ran too fast, and she was speechless at the end of the sentence.
"What's wrong with the second lady?"
Lu Yu quickly asked...
"Second Miss is sick!" the maid said seriously.
"Sick?"
Lu Yu was stunned. He had just cured one of them, why did another one get sick?
"Then...where is your eldest lady?"
Lu Yu then asked...
"I'm...sick too." The maid's tone was a little hesitant...but she still answered like this, very bluntly.
Now, Lu Yu was a little confused...
What's going on with these two sisters? Do they even get sick together?
"Where are they?" Lu Yu continued to play.
"On the river! In the ship!" the maid replied...
Is this...is this seasick?
Lu Yu murmured in his heart, but his tone became urgent, and he immediately ordered: "Take me there quickly!"
…
at the same time…
On the rippling blue river, two slightly larger green boats docked, and Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were slowly stepping into them.
They looked up eagerly...looking at...the lover who should have appeared in their dream!
Needless to say, even though the two of them are good sisters, but... this kind of thing will inevitably make them scream a little louder!
Did this lover board Da Qiao's boat first?
Or should we board Xiao Qiao's boat first?
…
