Chapter 2 Chapter Two Huotan Shroud (Part 2)

This time, Wu San's life was not killed. To Wu San's surprise, that strange piece of clothing not only saved his life, but also changed his future life trajectory. It must have been Wu San's fate. At that time, two days after Wu San was in a coma, a veteran herb collector in the mountains found him, the only survivor, and carried him back to the deep mountains. Fortunately, he survived after being treated and recuperated.And this strange piece of clothing was brought back along with it.The old Taoist study learned that this garment is called Huotan Shroud, and it is made of special material.Huotan's shroud is covered with written chapters, all of which are medical and numerology techniques. Not only are the words obscure, but the content is also extremely unpredictable.Wu San is a reckless man who can't read all the words, let alone master the seminar.In order to thank him for saving his life, he simply handed over Huotan's shroud to the old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist, who knows the past and the present, was very moved when he saw such a strange volume. After studying it for a while, he was even more amazed. Since then, he has been studying day and night without leaving home. Based on the records on Huotan's corpse clothes, he wrote "Liu Ren Qi Fang" This book.The old Taoist took Wu San as his apprentice and taught him the art of medicine, and he was not allowed to make a living by fighting against him. Three years later, the old Taoist gave Wu San the "Six Ren Qi Prescriptions", leaving a sentence: The Huotan Corpse Clothes are made by heaven, and they contain top-secret secrets. You will be inconvenient when you travel in the rivers and lakes. There will be no more Huotan shrouds in this world. The secret techniques in "Six Ren Qi Prescriptions" all come from Huotan Corpse Clothes. If used properly, it can not only help the weak and help the world, but also help you rise to prosperity!Since then, there has been no trace of the old man.

At that time, the world was not peaceful and wars were frequent.Relying on some medical skills taught by the old Taoist, Wu San walked in the villages in the surrounding mountains, hanging pots to help the world, and spreading good fortune, and gradually gained some fame.In addition, he studied "Liu Ren Qi Prescriptions" day and night, and cured many difficult and miscellaneous diseases. There was an endless stream of people seeking medical advice, and some even came from hundreds of miles away.After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wu San opened a medical practice in his hometown's provincial capital, specializing in acupuncture and massage, folk prescriptions, and concurrently engaged in the business of Chinese herbal medicines. After many years of operation, he has a lot of money.

The so-called big tree attracts the wind. During the Cultural Revolution, Wu San was taken out of his old background. For a while, a series of titles such as tomb robber, charlatan selling bullshit plaster, and bourgeois upstart came one after another. Wu San was also officially named Wu Laosan and became The master who wears a high hat and suffers criticism.Although Wu San, who healed and saved people, said he didn't lose his life, his heart was already dead. Since then, he didn't want to let the next generation learn medical skills. This wonderful book was preserved, but it has been kept in limbo, spending many years in a dark closet corner.

Compared with those who died in the cowshed in those years, Wu San was undoubtedly lucky. He survived that extraordinary period, smelled the spring breeze of reform and opening up, and finally got rehabilitated, and was honored as an old god. Attended the vigorous "Immortal Fair" and received very high courtesy.Wu San's life was full of ups and downs and legends, but he was helpless but had no one at his knees. At the end of his life, with trembling hands, he stuffed the "Liu Ren Qi Fang", which brought him countless honors and hardships, into the hands of his brother's grandson Wu Qi.

When Wu Qi held a book with a strong traditional Chinese medicine and stale smell in his hand, it was already forty years later. Different from Wu San, people from Wu Qi's family belong to the conformist type.It’s just that Wu Qi is a little restless. I don’t know if he inherited his third uncle’s disposition, or he was bewitched by his strange medical book. Since the day he came into contact with it, he has been addicted to it, and finally chose to leave the third uncle. The old way of traditional Chinese medicine. In fact, with the formation of the new values ​​of reform and opening up, coupled with the previous eradication of the four olds, Western medicine was already prevalent at that time, and Chinese medicine has almost become synonymous with quack doctors for dog skin plasters. Only in remote mountain villages can such quack doctors show their value , So not long after the trend of going to the mountains and going to the countryside passed, Wu Qi repeated the mistakes of the previous generation.Although it was voluntary, the family was quite disapproving, but Wu Qi's attitude was quite firm, and finally they gave in, presumably with the intention that they would not be able to resist returning after staying for a long time.

However, all this is not accidental. In Wu Qi's mind, the third uncle is simply the living Hua Tuo. It seems that there is no strange disease that can make him rare, and the third uncle he admired passed the strange book to him, which made him even more so. He works tirelessly.Before the third uncle died, he left only one sentence, and this sentence was only one word.Wu San left very suddenly. Before he died, he only uttered the word "medicine". No one could guess what his word meant. Perhaps for Wu San, this word could represent his whole life. Wu San had been practicing medicine for half his life, and he seemed to have accurately foreseen that he might die at any time, so he was fully prepared for death at any time.Although the implementation of cremation had already begun at that time, it was not implemented smoothly in some areas, and the complex of going to the ground still occupied people's thoughts.Wu San had taken a fancy to a piece of land early on as his shelter after death. He bought a place with a radius of three miles at a high price, and cut down all the locust trees, only the locust tree, and the rest were not cut down. He also warned his family members to visit his cemetery regularly. There must be absolutely no locust trees in the three-mile radius he bought, and once they found locust saplings, they should be removed immediately.The family members didn't know the reason, but under Wu San's serious and stern warning, they had to follow suit. In the end, Wu San died at the age of ninety.

In Wu Qi's memory, the burial system of the third uncle is extremely peculiar. The coffins used by ordinary people are all made of wood, but the coffin used by Wu San is made of high-purity copper. The coffin had already been built when Wu San was in his prime, and it took three years to complete. The whole body of the copper coffin was shining brightly, and a set of strange patterns were engraved on the surface of the coffin according to Wu San's intention. The lid of the copper coffin The junction with the coffin body is covered with locks and copper rings, and the coffin lid is firmly locked once the lid is closed. The entire copper coffin looks like a huge copper cipher box.

Wu Qi originally thought that the third uncle was born as a tomb robber, so he must be worried that his own tomb would also suffer the fate of being robbed, so he chose this peculiar coffin.But later, Wu Qi accidentally learned from a divination Taoist that the pattern was not a simple decoration, but a formation, called the Qianlong Rolling Corpse Formation!The only function of this formation is to suppress corpses and deal with various corpse changes.Wu Qi was taken aback when he heard this, but at the same time he was extremely confused. Could it be that the third uncle had foreseen that he would change into a dead body after death as early as in his prime?

On this day, Wu Qi was studying under the lamp with the book "Liu Ren Qi Fang" in his hands, when suddenly there was an urgent knock on the door: "Doctor Wu, hurry... hurry up and save someone!" There was a lot of noise outside the door, and it seemed that there was a lot of movement. Wu Qi was startled when he opened the door. There were more than a dozen villagers standing outside the door, holding torches, poles, and ropes. Some villagers were still scarred. It looks like they are here to seek medical treatment, but it is more like they are here to fight. "What? What's the matter?" Wu Qi Daqi asked.He has been in this mountain village for so many days, and he has only dealt with bruises all day long. This time, there was such a big commotion, which really made him a little excited for a while. "Don't worry, speak slowly!"

"Doctor Wu! Erzhuzi is in trouble, you go and have a look, I've called everyone!" A middle-aged man gasped and Wu Qi recognized him as the captain of the production team in the village. .Captain Wang spoke in a hurry, and Wu Qi was a little confused when he heard it. Captain Wang hurriedly explained it again, and then he understood the general idea. It turned out that Zhang Erzhu, a villager, went up the mountain, and just fell asleep when he came back. In the middle of the night, her wife got up to cover the child with a quilt. When she saw her husband lying next to her, she almost fainted from fright. It was like a layer of moss had grown, but he didn't know it, and he was snoring loudly. In the daytime, his complexion returned to normal, and he went up and down the mountain as usual, and there was nothing unusual. It was normal for a few days, and his wife didn't take it seriously, thinking it was blinded by sleep.Unexpectedly, within a few days, this Er Zhu became violent as if he had lost his mind. In the middle of the night, his wife and children were frightened and cried, which could be heard in the whole village.Some neighbors came forward to help, this crazy Zhang Erzhu was extremely strong, a man who was more than five feet tall was a foot away, no one could cure him, Captain Li asked a few people to stabilize Zhang Erzhu first, this is not a correct copy The guy went to rescue the soldiers, and at the same time, he didn't forget to call Wu Qi, a doctor with a good reputation. "This has happened in the past, and it was all possessed by ghosts. Please ask a master dancer to hit it. Doctor Wu, go and dance to a master. Please take that thing away and you will be fine!" Wu Qi almost fainted when he heard this, and he complained in his heart: Fellow villagers, I am a doctor, not a Taoist priest of Maoshan, medical skills and superstition are completely opposite to each other!Do you dare to believe that your massage and acupuncture skills have passed on to these villagers as exorcising ghosts and evil spirits? But at the moment, curing diseases and saving lives is the most important thing, Wu Qi can't be allowed to think too much, so he immediately carried the medicine box and rushed to Zhang Erzhu's house with the villagers. A group of people had already gathered at the gate of Zhang Erzhu's house, all of them were too tormented to sleep and came to watch the excitement, Captain Wang sent them back one by one.Zhang Erzhuzi was shirtless, his arms were stretched out and tied to a shoulder pole, and his arms were wrapped like gauze. Four strong laborers stuck the shoulder pole in the door slot and pressed the two ends of the pole respectively.Zhang Erzhuzi's eyes flashed fiercely, and he didn't know when he had a piece of firewood in his mouth. He was chewing like a rice cracker while struggling hard. "Hold it all down for me!" Commander Wang gave an order, then turned to Wu Qi and said, "Doctor Wu, look at the situation, and quickly make a move. Hurry up and get people ready!" Wu Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard that, Captain Wang was still talking about dancing to the Great God, and his dignified doctor was mixed up by the villagers and charlatans.Crashers and ghost possession are out of date in this day and age. Judging from Zhang Erzhu's symptoms, it's more like an epileptic seizure.However, in my impression, epileptic seizures are caused by rolling eyes, foaming at the mouth, and uncontrollable consciousness.And Zhang Erzhu in front of him seemed to be very conscious, his eyes were blood red and fierce, and he stared at everyone like he was an enemy in eight lifetimes. After a brief questioning of Zhang Erzhu's family members, he learned that he has always been in good health, had no cases of epilepsy, and had no family genetic history.Moreover, Zhang Erzhu's symptoms were indeed different from those of ordinary convulsions, and the problem seemed not so simple. Wu Qi usually treats people for colds and colds, and then for bruises, he encounters a difficult point, such as insect bite poisoning. start. Seeing that Zhang Erzhu was still making trouble there, and everyone was looking at him eagerly, Wu Qi couldn't hold back any longer, so he decided to treat him like a living doctor. He made peace first so as not to hurt innocent people, and then made a long-term plan.After thinking about it, he took out the silver needle holder. This was handed down by Uncle Wu, who usually cures the disease immediately after receiving the needle. I don't know if this time it will have a miraculous effect? Generally speaking, once a person is sick, the superficial is in the collaterals, and the deep is in the viscera and the brain. The purpose of acupuncture points with silver needles is to open up the meridians and make the blood flow smoothly.Epilepsy is caused by stagnation of qi in the governor vessel and disorder of qi in the head.The governor vessel connects the collaterals to the brain, and "the brain is the home of the primordial spirit", so the governor vessel must first be opened to activate the primordial spirit. According to the usual practice, it should be treated from the Dazhui point of the governor vessel. Wu Qi asked the crowd to lift up Zhang Erzhuzi, tie him firmly to the stakes that tied the animals, and injected three consecutive needles into Dazhui, Neifu, and Baihe acupoints. After a few stitches, Zhang Erzhu's head slowly drooped, the strength of his struggle was obviously reduced, and his consciousness seemed to have recovered.Wu Qi was a little surprised when he saw it, so he hurriedly hit the iron while it was hot, and stabbed at Changqiang, Yaoyu, and Mingmen acupoints respectively, as a reinforcement. Unexpectedly, as soon as the last three needles were administered, Zhang Erzhu jerked up suddenly as if he had received an electric shock, and his body twitched. His eyes suddenly opened to the limit, and he stared at Wu Qi viciously.Seeing this scene, Wu Qi's forehead felt hot, and he immediately said something bad in his heart.All of a sudden, Zhang Erzhu, who did not know where the strength came from, broke the bound shoulder pole with a "crack", immediately raised his hands high, and then rushed towards Wu Qi.
