I am going to live forever in the world of mortals

Chapter 27 The Crying Blind Woman
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed...

In Gusu City, the news that Dr. Tong was cured of his hand disease was used by some poor people as a topic of conversation after dinner, but as the people at the bottom, this trivial matter did not cause much disturbance.

At this time, Zhang Xiuyuan was sitting lazily under the big banyan tree to enjoy the cool air, flipping through the travel notes of miscellaneous talks, and there were two chirping larks standing on his shoulders...

In the past month or so, he not only stabilized his cultivation, but also established a good relationship with the two little bird neighbors on the big banyan tree.

The two little guys saw him often go to practice and read under the big banyan tree, from curiously looking at him at first, to gradually getting used to his existence, and then tentatively contacting him, they quickly became friends.

Whenever he practiced, the two little guys would hang their heads and watch, as if they were curious about what he was doing;
And when they are free to read, the two little guys will even take the initiative to sit on him to read together, or chatter with each other.

Zhang Xiuyuan also enjoyed it...

After all, he is the only one in Taixuguan now, and with two little guys by his side, he can be more angry.

At this time, on the cold mountain path...

An Jiuling helped a middle-aged woman in plain clothes, and slowly walked up the mountain.

The middle-aged woman was about 50 to [-] years old. Not only was her spirit listless, her hair was mostly gray, her eyes were also gray, she seemed to be blind, and she had to rely on help to go up the mountain.

There was a bit of embarrassment on her face, and she looked very cautious, and asked eagerly: "My child... can my eyes really be cured?"

"I can't promise you that..."

An Jiuling's family background is not good either, she is the ninth child in her family, and before she was adopted by Tong Yongzhou, she couldn't eat enough to eat every day. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is humble from the bottom of her heart, and she is inferior to others in everything. idea.

Seeing the woman's anxious expression, he smiled and comforted him: "But my master said, if even my uncle can't cure your eye disease, no one in the world can cure it."

"Your master, Dr. Tong, I know. He is a well-known benevolent person in the city. Who is your uncle?"

"My uncle is the master of the Taixu Temple..."

"Taoist..."

The woman nodded thoughtfully, and then asked cautiously: "But I don't know how much your uncle charges for consulting people?"

"My uncle is from outside..."

When An Jiuling saw her mentioning the consultation fee, a proud smile appeared on her face, and she said: "For those who are sincere and kind, a penny is enough; The old man won't make a move either."

After finishing speaking, he saw the Taixu Temple Gate close in front of him, and he didn't care to rest, and shouted loudly to the temple: "Master Uncle, there is a patient who begs you to heal."

"..."

Zhang Xiuyuan vaguely heard An Jiuling's voice, so he closed the ancient book in his hand and went out...

And the two larks playing on his shoulders seemed to sense that something was wrong with him, they flapped their wings and flew to the top of the tree, tilted their heads, and continued to fight in chirping.

Before reaching the mountain gate, he saw An Jiuling approaching with a middle-aged woman on his arm...

When An Jiuling saw his uncle coming, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Disciple An Jiuling, I pay my respects to my uncle..."

"Don't be too polite..."

Zhang Xiuyuan nodded slightly, taking advantage of the situation to look at the slightly cramped middle-aged woman.

Seeing that he was dressed plainly, his hands were full of cracks caused by years of hard work, especially his gray and dull eyes, he knew that he had an eye disease.

The middle-aged woman also knows how to be polite, knowing that she has met the rightful master, she hastily saluted and greeted: "Li Shi, a commoner's woman, has met the Taoist priest."

"Don't be too polite..."

Zhang Xiuyuan glanced at An Jiuling and saw his finger pointing to his eyes, so he knew why they came.

He stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Li Shi, and asked without blinking his eyes, "What's wrong with your eyes?"

When Mrs. Li heard the words, she seemed to have thought of something sad, with a look of sadness on her face, and she replied dully: "You are blind from crying..."

"Crying blind?"

"It's a long story..."

An Jiuling interjected, then pulled Zhang Xiuyuan aside, and explained softly: "Master, this Mrs. Li lives on the same street as our neighbor. She has a son who is addicted to gambling and ruined his family." Capital, some time ago even the ancestral house was bet by that prodigal son, Aunt Li was so sad that she cried and went blind."

He sighed as he spoke, and said: "Master has a heavy psychological burden on the eye disease, so he wants to ask Master Uncle to help him heal it."

"Can…"

Zhang Xiuyuan nodded slightly, and said: "I'll get the needle, you take her to the praying pool to pray, and say that sincerity leads to spirituality, and the penny used for the wish can be thrown into the pool."

After all, he didn't ask any more questions, and turned around to get the needles.

And although An Jiuling didn't know why the master uncle threw the consultation fee into the wishing pool, she didn't want to ask too much, so she just nodded and went back to help Aunt Li go to the prayer pool.

Mrs. Li grasped his hand tightly, and asked a little nervously, "Son, what did the Daoist say?"

An Jiuling patted her hand and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, Aunt Li, Master Uncle has gone back to get the needles, and he will help you heal your eyes later."

"What about the consultation fee?"

"Didn't I just say that a penny is enough..."

"It's really a penny?"

"That's natural. The uncle also said that the penny for the consultation fee can be thrown into the wishing pool."

"Praying pool?"

"yes…"

An Jiuling smiled, rolled his eyes and said, "Uncle Shi is an outsider who doesn't eat fireworks in the world. Ma'am, you only need to pray sincerely by the prayer pool and invest a penny, and it will be considered too empty." The pilgrims are gone, and my uncle, as the master of the Taixu Temple, naturally has to avert disasters for the pilgrims."

"Then... is there any taboo in praying?"

"Sincerity leads to spirit, there are no other taboos."

"Good good..."

The two chatted all the way, and soon came to the side of the prayer pool.

Under the guidance of An Jiuling, Li took out a bunch of old handkerchiefs wrapped up on his body, opened the handkerchief, and inside were copper coins.

She took out a copper coin from the handkerchief, then carefully wrapped the handkerchief again and put it on her body.

Immediately afterwards, holding the copper coin, he closed his blind eyes from crying, and made the most sincere prayers beside the wishing pool.

She doesn't know what sincerity leads to spirit, she only hopes that her son who has run away from debt collection can be safe...

Zhang Xiuyuan took the set of gold needles that Tong Yongzhou gave to his master last time, and when he saw a copper coin at the bottom of the prayer pool, he knew it was done.

Lead Mrs. Li to the guest room and sit down...

Seeing that Master Uncle only took one needle, An Jiuling asked curiously: "Master, last time I saw you cure Master's hand disease with only one needle, is it also only one needle for blindness?"

"The reason for this blindness is excessive sadness, the liver and gallbladder qi are reversed, and the eyes are blinded."

Zhang Xiuyuan didn't hide it either, and explained while performing acupuncture: "If ordinary acupuncture is used to treat this disease, Shuangtaichong, Shuangyanglingquan, Shuangguangming, Shuanghegu, Yintang, Sibai, etc. The disease can be cured by repeating the Yuyao acupoint about five times, I use qi to control the acupuncture, and use qi to guide the qi movement, so one acupuncture is enough."

"Oh~"

Hearing this, An Jiuling's little face showed a faint excitement, and she wished she could find a small notebook to write down what her uncle said just now.

He originally wanted to ask again, but seeing that his uncle was twirling the needles, he had to be lucky to channel the upside-down qi in Aunt Li's body, so he didn't bother me any more...

Soon...

Mrs. Li felt that her eyes were inexplicably dry and astringent, and she couldn't help but shed tears to moisten her eye sockets. What was even more mysterious was that her originally blind eyes could see things vaguely at this moment!

Zhang Xiuyuan collected the needle and saw Li rubbing his eyes, and reminded: "Ms. Li, you can close your eyes for a while, and you will be able to see things later."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li hurriedly closed her eyes. After a while, she heard "you can open your eyes" in her ears, and then she slowly opened them.

After seeing the two people in front of her clearly, she also knew that she had regained her light, so she knelt down on the ground with a 'plop' and called out, "Thank you, Daoist, for your kindness!"
