Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 685

Wang Pingan said: "Your Highness, don't panic. I have homemade calming pills. Just give Meiniang a pill, and she can sleep peacefully without having nightmares."

Li Zhi said: "Is there any medicine? Bring it quickly."

Wang Pingan responded and returned to his tent. He usually made a lot of pills in case of emergency.He took a calming pill, returned to Li Zhi's tent, and passed the medicine in through the crack in the curtain.

Li Zhi asked: "Is this medicine effective after taking it? How long will it take for the medicine to show its effect?"

Wang Pingan hurriedly said: "It will take a quarter of an hour. After Mei Niang took the medicine, she thought to herself that I am giving birth to a son. Repeat this sentence a hundred times, and the medicine will take effect, and she will fall asleep and will not dream again! "

So-so, this can be regarded as self-hypnosis, after Wu Meiniang took the tranquilizing pills, and then read this sentence, she would fall asleep after reciting, and she would fall asleep with the thought of giving birth to her son, so that she would not have nightmares again.

Subtle voices came from the tent, probably Li Zhi was taking medicine for Wu Meiniang.After a while, Li Zhi said: "No disease, what if Mei Niang has nightmares again? Or you come in and take her pulse?"

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "Think about it every day and dream at night. If you think less, you will get it. If you think more, you will naturally dream more!" After taking the medicine, there should be no worries. Otherwise, the minister will wait outside the tent, and if there is anything else, His Highness will call the minister!"

When the curtain was raised, Li Zhi showed his head and said, "I'm not sick, but thank you for your hard work!"

Wang Pingan hurriedly said: "It should be, it is the duty of the minister to share the worries for His Highness!"

Li Zhi hummed and put down the curtain.There were soft voices in the tent again.Wang Pingan couldn't hear what was said inside, but he could only wait outside the tent.After waiting for a quarter of an hour, there was no more voice in the listening tent, and the sound of breathing sounded, as if both of them had fallen asleep.

Wang Pingan didn't want to wait outside the tent to feed the mosquitoes. The weather is hot now, and there are many mosquitoes in the woods. If he is outside all night, he will be bitten all over his body.He tiptoed back to his tent and went to sleep.

The next day, just after dawn, Wang Ping'an got up, sat outside Li Zhi's tent again, then dozed off, pretending to guard outside the tent all night!

As the sun was rising, a sound came from the tent. Someone woke up and seemed to be getting dressed. Wang Pingan sat up straight when he heard the sound.After a short time, when the curtain was lifted, Wu Meiniang could see it from the tent.

Wang Pingan immediately smiled at her and said, "Good morning!"

Wu Meiniang said, "Uncle, have you been sitting here all night?"

Wang Pingan said: "No, I also lay down for a while, just woke up!" He yawned and stretched.He said he lay down for a while, but he didn't say where he lay down.

Wu Meiniang was very moved, and said: "Uncle, you have worked so hard, it's because of Meiniang's too many things that it hurt you!" Her voice was still hoarse, but it was a little better than yesterday.

Wang Pingan smiled and said: "Hey, your throat seems to be better, it seems that the medicine is effective. You wash up first, I will make medicine for you, eat breakfast, you take the medicine, and then we will go on the road." As he said that, he called Ouyang Li and the others to prepare breakfast, while he took out the decoction utensils in the car and made soup for Wu Meiniang.

Wu Meiniang was very grateful, she looked back at Li Zhi, saw Li Zhi yawning, and woke up, she said: "Your Highness, uncle has been guarding outside the tent yesterday, exhausted, uncle is really kind!"

Li Zhi got up and said: "Of course, Wubing is my most caring minister, and I treat him like a brother."

Wu Meiniang snorted and said, "Li Ke is also your brother, how do you treat him, and how does he treat you?"

Li Zhi grunted, talking about such a heavy topic early in the morning, he simply lay back and said: "The relationship between me and Wubing is closer than a real brother, no one else can compare!"

Wu Meiniang snorted again, and said, "What about me, Bi Meiniang?" As she spoke, she gave Li Zhi a push.

Li Zhi thought to himself: "I mean that everything is wrong, I can find faults!" He smiled and said: "Wu Meiniang is the first in my heart, and being healthy is the second. This is all right, I mean our generation Don’t mention people of other generations!”

This time he was careful, Wu Meiniang would not dare to compare herself with others, she would not dare to compare herself with her father, but it would be embarrassing to ask about her uncle and grandson Wuji. If he said that his uncle was more important than her, even though he was To be honest, but she also has to lose face, if she loses face for a long time, it will be very boring!

Wu Meiniang didn't ask any more questions, she lay back beside Li Zhi, scratched Li Zhi's nose, and said with a smile: "There are too many people here, why don't we go to the Grotto Temple, find a quiet room, and have a good chat about what I'm doing in your house?" In my heart, how important is it!"

Li Zhi laughed out loud.

Wang Pingan was decocting the medicine nimbly, while the Ouyang brothers prepared breakfast and waited for Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang to get up.But after a long time, the sky was bright, and the two of them got out of the tent. After washing up, they ate and took medicine. After dawdling for half an hour, they set off on the road.

This time I went on the road again, but it didn't take long. At noon, I arrived at the North Grotto Temple.

When the chariots and horses arrived outside the mountain gate, Wang Ping'an looked up and thought, "Why is it so dilapidated and there are no pilgrims here? The scenery here is beautiful, so many people should come to burn incense and worship Buddha!"

Li Zhi also looked up at the gate of the temple, and wondered: "No disease, didn't you say that the incense here is very prosperous, and children are always answered, why is it so down?"

Full of hope, Wu Meiniang looked out from the car. When she saw the red paint peeling off and the temple with few tiles left on the roof, her hopeful mood suddenly fell into the valley.She thought to herself: "Could it be that the gods and Buddhas in this temple are not as magical as they are rumored to be? If they are manifested and their prayers are granted, then why is this temple so dilapidated? If you can’t even bless, who else can you bless?”

Wang Ping'an whispered: "I don't know, or maybe we went in the wrong direction. This is not the Grotto Temple? I'll go and ask, Your Highness, I will go back when I go!"

Li Zhi hummed, turned his horse's head, and went to the side of the carriage, and said to Wu Meiniang: "Wu Bing said that he may have found the wrong place, this is not the Grotto Temple."

Wu Meiniang's face was ugly, she looked towards the mountain gate, and saw that there was no plaque on the gate, it was indeed difficult to tell what kind of temple this was, but if it wasn't the Grotto Temple, where was it?
Wang Ping'an got off his horse and entered the mountain gate by himself without brothers Ouyang following him.There is no lock or bolt on the mountain gate, and it can be entered as soon as it is pushed.As soon as he entered the courtyard, Wang Ping'an just grinned, okay, it's even more dilapidated than the original Lingling Temple. The courtyard of Lingling Temple is full of weeds, but this courtyard is full of stone bricks, and thin grass grows from the cracks between the bricks. , making the whole yard look like it is made up of countless small squares!
Wang Ping'an called out: "Is there anyone? Is there an abbot in the temple?" There was no one in the front yard, so he walked through the hall to the back yard.

When I came to the backyard, I saw that the backyard was quite large, and there was a small vegetable bed near the corner of the yard. Inside the vegetable bed, there was a man squatting with a straw hat on his head. It was hard to tell whether he was a monk or not.

The man in the straw hat heard the question, turned his head, stood up slowly, and asked, "Benefactor, who are you looking for?"

Only then did Wang Pingan heave a sigh of relief. It would be good if there were people in the temple, but even better if there were monks.He walked up to this person and said: "I am a pilgrim who came to pay respects to the Buddha, where is the abbot of your temple?"

The man heheed, took off his straw hat, exposed his bare head, and said with a smile, "Except for the poor monk who shaves his scalp with a scraper every month, there is no one else in the temple!" But it is quite healthy, and the conversation is humorous, it is quite easy to talk.

Wang Pingan said: "You are the presiding officer? Why is this temple so dilapidated? Isn't this place full of incense?"

"That happened a few years ago. Ever since Governor Ji came to Gyeongju, the life in this temple has been getting worse day by day. If there is a governor who will take away all the incense money, there will naturally be a dilapidated cave temple. ” said the monk.

Wang Pingan smiled and said: "Ji Shishi? That's the old emperor's calendar, and now Qingzhou has changed the governor." He paused, and said: "Looking at your hard life, I can think of a sum of sesame oil money to add some food to the pot ? As long as you do as I say, you can add as many vegetables to the pot as you want."

The monk looked at him and said with a smile: "add food? The poor monk eats vegetables all day long, and he is already tired of eating. It would be great if there is wine and meat as alms. The benefactor wants the poor monk to say something, but pray for others Hexagram? Okay, let the poor monk say what you want, and the poor monk will say what you want!"

Wang Pingan laughed dryly, and said: "Okay, then listen carefully, you just need to say this..." After teaching a few words like this, he took out a few golden melon seeds, stuffed them into the monk's hand, and said: "Speaking of which makes our young master and wife happy, I will double it!"

The monk picked up a golden melon seed, put it in his mouth and bit it, and said: "Really. Alright, the poor monk will follow what you taught, and make sure your young master and wife are satisfied. If you are not satisfied, you can give me this monastery." Take it apart!"

Wang Ping'an laughed and said, "If you don't demolish this ruined temple, it will fall down!" He took the monk out of the temple, and shouted to Li Zhi outside, "Master, the gods and Buddhas in this temple are very spiritual, and this temple is ruined." This is the proof!"

South Cave Temple.

An Shanda personally went to Zhoucheng to inquire about the news, and when he came back, he reported to Li Ke that Li Zhi and the others had left the city and went to the Grotto Temple.Li Ke immediately called Qiu Tingxuan and told him to repair the canal in a good way, while he himself was going to find the raw materials for making waterwheels, to build the largest waterwheel in the world.

He brought a group of officials from Chang'an, all of whom were his own, so that they could testify for him conveniently.He didn't explain the reason, but just led the officials to the South Grotto Temple on horseback.

If there is an inner ghost in the family, nothing can be done.An Shanda said that Li Zhi went to the Grotto Temple, but did not say that he was from the north, and specially led Li Zhi and others to the South Grotto Temple.Everyone came from Chang'an, and no one knew that there were two cave temples here, so they followed him.

They rode horses and galloped very fast, and even sent many capable people and strangers to scout ahead, but they rushed straight to the South Grotto Temple, and they did not find Li Zhi's whereabouts.Li Ke had no choice but to send someone to go directly to the temple to see if Li Zhi had gone, could it be that he turned halfway and went to play elsewhere?Not long after, the person who was sent came back to report that there was no trace of Li Zhi in the temple, and he never came!
Li Ke was furious, called An Shanda into the forest, found a place where no one was around, and reprimanded him loudly!
