Two black Mercedes-Benz cars were speeding on the road from Jinzhou to Chifeng. Tian Xuyang sat in the back car with his head in his arms and made a fuss from time to time.
Two days after leaving Shanghai, he felt that his condition was getting worse and worse. There seemed to be a five-element hand on his heart, which might grab his heart at any time and squeeze it hard. There was always a voice in his head, day and night.
He said a few words back and forth: Go back, come back to Shanghai quickly, and just meet "Miracle Doctor Li Xiang"...
As the chairman of Shenfeng Group, Tian Xuyang can be regarded as a wealthy and powerful prince, and he must have a group of sedan bearers around him. In the past two days, these people have invited many well-known internal medicine, brain, and cardiovascular experts for him.
There are also several veteran Chinese doctors with profound knowledge, but they are helpless in dealing with his illness.
The Western medicine doctor asked him to go to the hospital for a detailed examination. He bluntly said that he had never seen a disease like his before. Only after adequate examination and elimination of possible diseases through elimination methods could the cause be found.
Tian Xuyang knew that after all this hard work, there would be no results for a month, and perhaps, there would never be any results.
The conclusion given by traditional Chinese medicine is more straightforward. It is an evil disease. Unless the root cause of the disease is found, ordinary medicine and stones are completely ineffective. If the cause of the disease is not found, both traditional Chinese and Western medicine can only treat the disease more and more seriously.
Tian Xuyang knew that his illness must be related to the "miracle doctor Li Xiang". But when he thought of Zhu Tong and the annoying smile lines at the corners of his mouth, he couldn't help but feel chills in his heart. He was scared, afraid that he could not help it.
Back to Shanghai, maybe...
At this time, someone introduced him to a divine monk.
The divine monk's name was Xuemu. His parents were both lay Buddhists and he was very devout to Buddhism. Xuemu's wisdom appeared when he was young. He was able to recite the Diamond Sutra at the age of three and debate the Lotus Sutra at the age of five.
When Xuemu was six years old, two lamas came to his home from the depths of the grassland. They said that he was the incarnation of the Dharmakaya of the Sun-illuminated Bodhisattva, the reincarnation of the Living Buddha of Izuyun Temple in Tibet. They wanted to take Xuemu back to Izuyun Temple to train him with great concentration.
In order to inherit the mantle of the Living Buddha and promote Buddhism.
Although Xuemu was only six years old, he scorned the two lamas' arguments and said: All living Buddhas in the world are illusions. How can the true nature be obtained if the Dharma is put into the skin?
The two lamas were shocked when they heard this. They kept kowtowing in front of Xuemu. Even though they were dripping with blood, they could not ask the six-year-old child to follow them to Izumo Temple.
When he was nine years old, Xuemu went to Wutai Mountain with his parents to offer incense. He took off the cassocks of two famous "virtuous monks" in public, and bluntly said that they were not Buddhists, but swindlers wearing Buddhist robes.
The strange thing is that those two "virtuous monks" are surrounded by many Dharma-protecting monks and are very powerful in the local area. But in front of Xuemu, they are like lamas and become as honest as rabbits. They can only kowtow and dare not say anything.
Half a word.
It was such a child prodigy who suddenly stopped talking after coming down from Wutai Mountain. He suddenly disappeared six months later. No one knew where he went. Until many years ago, Xue Mu suddenly appeared in front of his house, still not saying a word, just lying on the ground.
Crying bitterly.
The neighbors were shocked. Three days later, both Xuemu's parents passed away. That year, he was exactly twenty-four years old.
After Xuemu finished his parents' funeral, he did not disappear again. Instead, he built a shed in front of his parents' grave and lived there for three years.
Three years later, Xuemu finally spoke, and a divine monk was born.
There is a reason why he is said to be a divine monk. There is a cedar tree behind the cemetery that Xuemu chose for his parents. That cedar tree has been exposed to wildfires for decades, and it is unknown how many years it has lived. The surrounding cedar forest is full of it.
descendants.
Later, two things happened that made Xuemu famous.
The first thing is to treat the disease.
Xuemu sat under the cedar for three years. Some neighbors felt sorry for him and often gave him some food and clothing. One day, the neighbors got a wife, and they invited Xuemu to a banquet out of politeness. They thought he would not
Go. In the past three years, Xuemu just sat in front of his parents' graves and meditated without saying a word.
Who knew that Xue Mu would actually go there that day? He was sitting in an inconspicuous corner, drinking and eating meat, as if there was no one there. But he was wearing a relatively neat monk's robe, with a bald head and didn't say a word.
, looking a little weird.
That afternoon, everyone who came to the banquet was suddenly knocked down.
It turned out that those wines were fake.
There was only one person who drank the most and that was Xue Mu.
He took out a handful of cedar branches from his arms, boiled a large pot of water, and said, "Drink it and you'll be fine."
After saying that, he left.
Those who drank were all men, and those who fell down were also men. Some women who were doing odd jobs were left chirping and busy rescuing people, and they didn't pay attention to his words at first.
It is located at the junction of Mongolia and Liaoning. Although the transportation is relatively convenient, it is still dozens of kilometers away from the nearest hospital.
It was unrealistic to wait for an ambulance. A few people who had cars at home picked up some people with some status and took them to the hospital. Others had to wait.
Only then did someone remember that Xue Mu had just spoken.
So, two women tried to feed their husbands water made from snow wood.
Unexpectedly, the water was extremely effective. Within five minutes of drinking it, the man stood up.
As a result, the scene became boiling. The women scrambled for the pot of "sacred water", and it didn't take long for all the people left behind to be cured.
In the middle of the night, news came from the hospital that three of the people sent there had died and five others were blind.
The second thing is even more strange.
That year, there was a locust plague on the grassland. The black locusts came overwhelmingly, but strangely bypassed the cedar forest where Xuemu was stationed.
As a result, the reputation of the divine monk Xuemu became famous, and people kept coming to seek medical treatment. Xuemu did not refuse, and just boiled a pot of cedar branch water in front of him. When the patient came, he scooped two spoons of cedar branch water and added some mysterious medicine according to the condition.
Powder can be used to cure diseases.
At first, it just spread around the area. Later, many temples in Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Hebei, and Shanxi came to ask him to be the abbot. But Xuemu ignored him and only used the incense money left by the patient to build a small Xuemu temple outside the cedar forest.
, calls himself Monk Xuemu.
Later, there were more people, and Xuemu became too annoyed. Within half a year, Xuemu Temple was closed and never appeared again. It was said that he hid in the nearby mountains. The only people who came to see the doctor were to ask the neighbors who helped him bury his parents, and they would convey the message.
, but there are also many failures, and fewer and fewer people achieve their wishes.
When Tian Xuyang heard that there was such a strange man, he also sought medical treatment urgently, so he took the man on the road. He put two boxes of money in the trunk of the car, a total of two million. In order to get rid of the hateful "miraculous doctor Li Xiang", no matter what
No matter how much it costs, Tian Xuyang doesn't want to return to Shanghai.
The two cars turned off the main road and drove along a narrow cement road into a cedar forest.
Not far away, a wooden bridge over the stream blocked the way; the bridge was only two meters wide and could not pass cars.
Tian Xuyang got off the car and was helped across the wooden bridge by his assistant.
Xuemu Temple is really not big, but it is very popular.
Although it was already dusk, there were many good cars parked in the woodland beside the wooden bridge. The area around the wooden bridge was bustling like a small market, with most of the vendors selling incense and candles and selling food and drink.
Tian Xuyang and a group of five people entered the temple gate. The assistant bought a few sticks of incense first. Tian Xuyang took them and burned them. He raised them above his head and bowed again and again to the big incense burner in the center of the small courtyard. While bowing, he silently recited in his heart:
Divine Monk and Bodhisattva, if you can save me from the sea of suffering, Tian will definitely cast a golden statue for you; if you can bring "Divine Doctor Li Xiang" into the area, Tian will be willing to be a cow and a horse by your side.
After praying, I put the incense into the incense burner religiously.
After burning incense, perhaps because he had some support in his heart, Tian Xuyang felt that his chest was no longer so tight, and his mind was much refreshed.
Only then did he have time to look at Xuemu Temple. It was an ordinary small courtyard surrounded by three log houses. If it weren't for the three words "Xuemu Temple" hanging at the door, if it weren't for the copper incense burner in the middle of the courtyard, if it weren't for the vague
You can see the shining golden statue of the god in the main room, which is no different from an ordinary farmhouse.
The strange thing is that there is a flagpole erected in the middle of the yard, and a blue flag is flying on the top of the flagpole. The flag is surrounded by auspicious clouds, and among the clouds and mist, there is a majestic white-feathered eagle king embroidered on it.
He is considered to have a predestined relationship with Buddha and is not unfamiliar with temples, but the more he looks at this Xuemu Temple, the more strange it becomes.
First of all, he determined that Xuemu Temple does not belong to the Han Mahayana Buddhist temple; there are no signs or plaques on the lintels of the wooden house on the front as the main hall and the wing rooms on both sides as the side halls. It does not look like a secret monastery spread in the grasslands and Tibetan areas. He
There are no mysterious runes on the newly lit incense burner, and there are no prayer flags around it.
"Mr. Tian, please come this way." The leader ran into the temple in advance to contact him. At this time, he appeared and whispered in Tian Xuyang's ear with a happy face: "You are so lucky. Master Xuemu agreed to see you. Master, please be alone."
Go in the woods behind."
"Shall I go by myself?" Tian Xuyang asked suspiciously.
"You may not know that this is Master Xuemu's rule. Unless you are destined, you will not see the master at all. The master has not appeared for several years. This time, he only saw three people. You are the last one." The leader
He said very calmly, "If you are not sincere, I'm afraid you won't be able to see the master even if you go in."
Tian Xuyang thought for a while, gritted his teeth secretly and said: If he falls into the hands of "Miracle Doctor Li Xiang", he is afraid that life will be worse than death, so he might as well try his luck! Anyway, there are many people watching, and nothing will happen to him.
He walked into the cedar forest with this mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse.
The light inside the tall cedar forest was dim. After entering more than a dozen steps, the noise outside disappeared. The calm wind whistled softly from the depths, making Tian Xuyang feel like his heart was beating with fear.
"Child, you are suffering." A faint voice sounded in Tian Xuyang's ear.
He turned around suddenly and saw nothing but cedars. He looked around and found no trace of anyone.
"Obsessed, look forward."
Tian Xuyang slowly turned around, and sure enough, there was a commoner monk standing five meters in front of him.
Tian Xuyang shook his head blankly. He clearly didn't see anything just now. He said carefully: "Master, who are you?"
"You are destined to me." The monk was bald and dressed in simple clothes, but extremely clean. It seemed that nothing in the world could leave the slightest trace on him.
"What is fate?" Tian Xuyang asked puzzledly. He is no longer a three-year-old child. He has seen too many similar things.
"Do you feel better now?" the monk asked.
Only then did Tian Xuyang realize that since entering the cedar forest, the murmurs in his head and the invisible hand on his chest seemed to have been blown away by the invisible wind just now.
"To worship the Buddha, you need to be sincere, and to cure a disease, you need to get rid of the root cause." The monk stretched out a finger and gently touched the center of Tian Xuyang's eyebrows.
With a sound of "Boom!", a golden firework exploded in Tian Xuyang's mind.
He vaguely saw a small purple butterfly flying out from his chest; then, his thoughts gradually left him, and then he fell into a dreamy dream.
