Double Journey to the West: Suppress Buddhism and Taoism at the beginning

Chapter 18 Cure the plague? Take it with your hands!
  That’s why Lin Yao calls him ‘Master’.

Because Lin Yao's nominal master was actually the former host of Sanqing Temple.

"died?"

The old man was startled for a moment, then he realized what was happening and his expression darkened: "When did the old Taoist Master leave?"

"last month."

Zhang Wen said happily: "Now, I am the abbot of Sanqing Temple. If the donor has any requests, you can make them."

The old man shook his head slightly and said nothing more.

Next to him, Lin Yao's grandson said: "You are very interesting, you can make any requests."

"Can you cure the plague? Bird flu is raging now, and many farmers have been affected and suffered heavy losses."

"My grandpa came here this time just to see if the abbot had any remedies, but everyone has left. I wonder if you can still cure it?"

Lin Yao smiled and said: Taoism has "The Big Hole Treating Plague", which is one of the Taoist skills."

"Inside, there are plague-repelling talismans, plague-preventing talismans, and plague-curing talismans..."

Lin Yao said slowly: "These talismans are all used to drive away plague."

Lin Yao's words shocked both the old man and his grandson.

Not everyone can recite the names of these talismans.

The young man said: "After all, with this alone, can you solve the bird flu?"

Lin Yao said: "I don't dare to promise, but I can give it a try."

"Seriously?" The young man looked at Lin Yao's serious face, not like he was joking, and couldn't help laughing: "If you can solve the bird flu, the country will thank you and give you an award."

"Not talking about the national level, if you can cure this disease, I can donate 100,000 yuan as incense fee."

"Pindao can give it a try."

Lin Yao agreed to the young man's request without hesitation.

It doesn't hurt to try anyway.

And this is a good opportunity for him to experiment.

Lin Yao wanted to see what kind of strength he was now!
  And this is also a good thing for spiritual practice. It can drive away the plague, which has great merit.

In ancient times, there were only two types of people who went to epidemic areas.

One is a doctor and the other is a Taoist.

Taoist knowledge includes looking for mountains, asking doctors, fortune telling, fortune-telling, and divination.

Medical skills play a large role here.

Taoist priests often travel around, saving lives and healing the wounded, and accumulating merit.

There are many records about medical skills in various Taoist classics, and there are even some talismans to ward off evil spirits.

"The Great Cave Treating Plague" is one of them, and among these many classics, it ranks among the best.

What is recorded in it are all talismans against the plague.

Of course, cheats of this level can only be regarded as graffiti now.

Because it is impossible for any Taoist to have the magic power to draw those runes.

However, Lin Yao is an exception.

Therefore, Lin Yao wanted to give it a try.

Lin Yao readily agreed, still with a hint of confidence on his face, which made both of them look at him with admiration.

"It seems that this Taoist priest has inherited his mantle!"

The old man looked Lin Yao up and down and said: "I will build the country next week. This is my grandson Zhou Xian. If you can cure the plague, Zhou Xian will definitely keep your promise!"

"Zhou Jianguo?"

When Lin Yao heard these two words, he always felt that they sounded familiar. He immediately realized where this familiar feeling came from.

Chairman of Yimin Aquatic Products Company, Zhou Jianguo.

Yimin Aquatic Products was developed based on Sanhuang Chicken. It also involves other fields and is now on the market.

That's why Zhou Jianguo is called a legendary existence.

"Mr. Zhou."

Although Lin Yao knew the identity of this person, his expression did not change at all and he nodded calmly.

Zhou Jianguo, on the other hand, said, "It seems you know who I am?"

"Then can you come to the farm with us now?"

"If you can cure the plague, the entire Zhou family will be grateful to you."

Zhou Xian couldn't help but shook his head, thinking it was ridiculous. He didn't expect that his grandfather would actually bring him to the farm to give it a try.

However, Zhou Xian didn't say much, because his grandfather had said so, and how could he dare to refute it.

Hearing this, Lin Yao nodded and said, "You guys wait a moment, I'm going to take away everything I need."

After saying that, Lin Yao picked up Zhu Shazhou's paper and brush, put them into a cloth bag, and carried them on his shoulders.

After doing all this, Lin Yao came over and said, "Mr. Zhou, we can set off."

Lin Yao sat in the car of the Zhou family and his son and followed them to the farm of Yimin Aquatic Products.

Now that Lin Yao is here, Zhou Xian doesn't say anything more.

Instead, he explained to Lin Yao the situation in the breeding base.

"The bird flu this time is very serious. Not to mention the breeding industry, even the hospitals are full of people."

"Nowadays, the entire country's breeding industry is in a state of high tension. For fear of being infected with a bird flu, not only will the industry be in vain for a year, but it will also have to deal with sick birds by ourselves."

Zhou Xian said: "Our company has several farms, and they are all modern. Some farms are completely closed and the virus cannot enter."

"But the problem is, our company's signature three-yellow chicken must be raised in the open air."

"So something happened on the farm of Sanhuang Chicken. I don't know if it was infected from the poultry. Many poultry are infected."

"If it's not handled well, the farm will be destroyed."

Lin Yao and the old man Zhou Jianguo were sitting in the back seat of the car, while Zhou Xian was driving.

Zhou Xian looked through the rearview mirror and said to Lin Yao: "Before this incident was exposed, the company's stock price had dropped by 10%."

"If word of this gets out, our company's stock will definitely plummet. The most important thing is that our profits this year will be drained, and we may even suffer losses."

Zhou Xian said: "We have invited many experts, many veterinarians, and several people from pharmaceutical companies to help."

"But in the short term, there's nothing these people can do about this virus."

"There are so many people infected with bird flu now and have not fully recovered, and those experts and scholars don't have much energy to pay attention to those poultry."

"So now, we're on our own."

While speaking, Zhou Xian gave Lin Yao another meaningful wink.

It seemed that he was explaining to Lin Yao the situation he was about to face, and also explaining to him the seriousness of the situation, in order to dispel Lin Yao's thoughts.

Lin Yao, on the other hand, sat in the back seat with a calm expression.

"Since the situation is urgent, can you take me directly to the farm to have a look?"

Lin Yao spoke with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"Huh?" Zhou Xian was slightly startled.

Zhou Xian glanced at Lin Yao again in the rearview mirror and thought to himself, I have already talked about this, but you still don't give up, and you didn't even say a few vague words to deal with it.
