After Becoming a Taoist

   Chapter 197 Fire Pill

   "It's better to go back! It's better to go back!" Qing Geng Bird sang from the eaves.

   Beggar Chicken should also agree: "Giggle da!"

   Isn't it a rooster? Why does the hen bark? Is it the laying rooster?

  Li Dandao has not slept well for two consecutive nights, especially last night, after walking a lot and doing things again, he was very tired and had to sleep for a while.

   Fortunately, the family is used to Li Dan's ghosts and ghosts.

   After resting for a while, the sky was already bright.

When    came out, there was only the old man.

  The old man is punching.

   is not that punch, it's a serious punch.

The   qi goes with the fist, the fist cares first, and it is integrated into one, I feel that the old man is playing better than himself!

  This slow Taijiquan method is much better than Li Dandao's in college. It seems that the old man has practiced secretly. He used to laugh at what Li Dandao was fighting, but now he can only say: It's really fragrant.

   "Old boxer!" Li Dan said, "Grandpa is getting stronger!"

   "The weather is getting colder, I'm getting older, my marrow is getting emptier, my hands and feet are getting cold, I have to move more, otherwise this winter, I'm afraid it will be hard."

   "Your mother made a blanket with the fox fur that your mother brought you back, let's take a look."

  Li Dan said, "Didn't you bring it to the examination room for your uncle?"

   "Your mother said that she wanted to embroider some talismans to ward off ghosts and evil spirits, so I asked you to take a look."

  Li Dandao went into the room and saw that he had already woven a blanket, the surface was plain, it must have been separated from the miscellaneous hair, and it was very soft to the touch.

   "It's the quality of Qingqiu's fox fur." ​​Li Dandao thought of Hu Youyou again, and he didn't know if they had moved out. There was also the child of Da Yu and the girl, who must be a famous person.

   "Embroider the true shape of the Five Sacred Mountains." This true shape of the Five Sacred Mountains is exactly what Dayu measured the geography of mountains and rivers, measured the hydrology and the map, and drew this fox fur blanket just for the protection of the Five Sacred Mountains,

  The old man watched Li Dandao flip through the secret text of the Three Sovereigns, looking for a map of the true shape of the Five Mountains.

   is simple, not too complicated.

   At the moment, I used Baiji to make cinnabar, and I used Zhuzhu to wave it.

Huayue Futu is at the top, like golden crow in fire, Taiyue and Songyue are the left and right arms, Taiyue is like the rising sun in the east, Songyue is like a palace monument, Hengyue and Hengyue are the left and right feet, Hengyue is like flowing fire, It is like a water continent, and Hengyue is like a high crown like a portal.

   With a drawing of the true shape of the Five Sacred Mountains, this blanket has a hint of simplicity.

   "You ghost painting talisman, you have some taste, it seems that you have learned something."

   "As soon as this blanket is covered, you can sleep at night, and you will be naturally peaceful and will not be disturbed by evil spirits."

   After Li Dan finished painting, he went to the pharmacy.

   On the way, I saw the monk Bajie sweeping the street with a broom.

   met Li Dandao and put his hands together: "Master."

   "You didn't run away." Li Dan said with a smile.

   "I wanted to see the true Buddha, but I didn't dare to slack off."

  Li Dandao nodded, he was a good free labor force.

   "How do you feel?"

   "The disciple is stupid." Bajie also wanted to ask Li Dan for advice.

  Li Dandao waved his hand: "Then continue to sweep the floor, remember to come to eat at noon."

  Bajie had to take the broom and sweep the floor.

   When Li Dandao entered the pharmacy, a monk came out from one side: "Senior brother, are you talking about him? He's just a young man, what can he do?"

"Master, in the land of the Central Plains, there are countless strange people and scholars, and the poor monks do not dare to despise, this man, what he said, every sentence contains the meaning of the Mahayana, but the Dharma of the Mahayana has not been passed down in the Central Plains, and we only know the name of the Mahayana, and we do not understand it. He can know the principles of Mahayana, and it can be seen in general."

   Another monk said: "Then Senior Brother is really here to sweep the streets and pour the fragrance of the night?"

   "Well, Junior Brother, don't try to persuade me." Bajie swept the ground.

  Many people were watching the monk sweeping the floor, and some people said, "Can you help me sweep the inside? I'll give you some money."

   "Thank you, Lord!" Bajie nodded in succession.

   Another monk expressed his puzzlement: "Master said, I told you to bring the Buddha treasure first, and find an opportunity to present it to the emperor, and the emperor will worship the Buddha treasure and build a Buddhist temple.

  Bajie gave the Muni Pearl to the monk: "Junior Brother, take it."

   "Hey! Senior Brother, do it yourself!" The monk hurriedly left.

   On the other hand, Li Dandao went to the store, and Li Fucheng was giving people a massage. After all, a few pennies can be used for a good time. Which man can resist?

   "Is there no one to see the doctor today?"

   "No! Today seems to be the birthday of Confucius." Li Fucheng said: "The temple should be very lively. Your uncle has gone to the literary meeting."

   "It's only November!" Li Dandao really felt that it was really cold.

   "If there is no one, then concoct the medicinal materials and refine the pills!"

  Li Dandao was not idle either.

   "Small account room!"

   "Miss Fuling!" Li Dan said with a smile: "Thanks to your Plague Removal Pill last time!"

   "Hey! What's this, just kill the snake king, and it will be difficult to find another one. Now that it's winter, it's all dormant, and the snake whip you want can't be supplied."

   "This..." Li Dan said, feeling embarrassed for a while.

   "I haven't come to thank Tian Wu yet!"

   "It's alright, my father said, you did a good job, and he also got some external skills. This snake king is not a precious thing."

   "Is there something wrong with this girl?"

   "Yes! My father asked you if you have any pills with the properties of yang dryness, the ones that cannot contain sulfur or realgar."

   "Yes! You can make fire pills."

  Huodan in Chinese medicine refers to erysipelas, which is often caused by feeling the evil fire poison, which is stagnant in the skin, or due to the damage of the skin and mucous membranes, and the poisonous evil invades the human body.

  The main manifestation is that a large area of ​​bright red erythema can be seen on the local skin, which is higher than the surface of the skin, with clear boundaries, tense and bright surface, hot to the touch, and obvious swelling and tenderness.

   Of course, in myths and legends, it is a kind of elixir. For example, in Journey to the South, Huaguang used fire pills to burn Wukong, and in Journey to the North, Zhenwu gave the second turtle and snake generals fire pills.

  Li Dandao made exactly one kind, and when people take it, such as fire pills with erysipelas, it can cause people to blister the tongue, bleed from the nose, dry and hot all over, the skin is red, and the urine is red and yellow.

   "How to make fire pills?"

   "First open the altar, ask the fire department to be the righteous god, and then concoct various medicinal materials, such as cinnabar, red iron, safflower, red peony, etc., and the vermilion and fire away things, and then concoct each one to get the fire pill."

   "Is that so! Is it difficult to practice?"

   "It can't be refined now. As the saying goes, fire flows in July, and fire pills can only be refined in July."

"Isn't there any pills that can be refined in winter? My father's snake nature has returned recently, and he is almost going to hibernate, but he can't hibernate, otherwise the snake nature will suppress human nature, and it will become more and more serious in the future, so it must be suppressed. The desire to live in hibernation is to warm up the blood."

   "That's it! Then it should be treated as a disease of body cold!"
