Huai'an Temple

Huai'an Temple faces south and surrounds half a hill.There is a main hall of Sanqing in front of the mountain, with four courtyards on the left and right.Two openings and three entrances, five rooms are complete.The innermost apse on the northwest side is usually used as a place for coffins and coffins, and it is not locked.Shen Tuan is not here, just to say hello to Li Tan, he can also come to see the spirit guard lamp.

On the west side, there is a row of bedrooms, pavilions, wells, and everything that should be used for daily life.

On the east side, there is only a single courtyard, lonely, full of smoke and mist.

As soon as Xue Zhu pushed the courtyard door, he saw Shen Tuan barefoot, with the gauze sheet open, standing beside the forge, pursing his lips and frowning, looking at Nan Ming carefully.

"Master, you..." Xue Zhu pointed to his open skirt.

Shen Tuan didn't lift his eyelids and said, "Hot!" He touched Nan Ming's gap with his hand, rolled his eyes, and said, "Next time you go out, don't say you practice swords, just say that you used Qiushui Yanling knife!"

Xue Zhu said: "You didn't say that two days ago, as long as I'm fine!"

Shen Tuan inserted Nan Ming into the fire mouth of the forge and withdrew some fire.He turned around and took Xue Zhu's sword, handed it over and said, "See if you are satisfied."

Xue Zhu was surprised: "Why, Master? Did you open the blade for me?"

Shen Tuan shook his head: "No need! Look carefully."

Xue Zhu drew out his long sword, saw the mouth of the swallow, anyway, two sides, forging three consecutive six breaks, two hexagrams of the universe.Further up, there are two long-legged talisman heads, and the talisman guts are empty.The middle part of the sword body is inscribed with incantations, and the brushwork is agile and elegant, which are exactly Shen Tuan's characters.

Xue Zhu caressed repeatedly, unable to put it down.If there is this sword as the eye of the formation, wouldn't the talisman formation be as solid as gold?

Shen Tuan said with a smile: "Look at you who have never seen the world. Is it a sword! Give it a name."

Xue Zhu scratched his head: "This is very difficult. You, Master, gave me my name. How could I give it a name."

Shen Tuan turned around, clamped Nanming out with furnace tongs, took a small hammer to forge it carefully, and repeatedly quenched it.Said: "What's so difficult about this, it's just a code name."

Xue Zhu thought for a while, then shook his head and lowered his eyes: "Let's talk again, I'll think about it again."

Shen Tuan turned to look at him, and wondered: "You named the sword, not your daughter-in-law, what's the point!"

Xue Zhu's heart was beating wildly, but he still shook his head: "I, I, I didn't think about it! We'll talk when we think about it."

After Shen Tuan tempered Nan Ming, he danced twice casually.Throw it to Xue Zhu to hold.Pushing open the door, I looked at it, and said, "The elixir has been supplemented seven or eight times, and I can seal the furnace this afternoon. It's so hot!"

Just as they were talking lively, a question came from Xue Zhu's arms: "Yu Li? I see that the Tongyu talisman is on. Are you back?" The voice was quite angular, and it was Li Tan.

Xue Zhu took out the Tongyu Talisman from his bosom, and replied: "Uncle Li, we are in the temple, and I don't have time to visit you these few days. What orders do you have?"

"I'll be there later." Li Tan said briefly.

Shen Tuan looked at Xue Zhu and said: "I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter. You go back first, I will go after I seal the stove."

The sun is thinning in Sangyu, and Li Tan arrives as promised.Xue Zhu made tea soup, let him sit on Shen Tuan's tea bed, and sat down by himself.

There are some carving marks between Li Tan's eyebrows, which makes him look more elegant and dignified.Shen Tuan leaned over to give up the tea, Li Tan cupped his hands and said, "Brother Tunan, this time..."

"Stop!" Shen Tuan waved his hand, and rushed, "It's inappropriate for you to call me that. You were 14 years old when I met you."

Li Tan said disgustedly: "Didn't you call you Senior Shen for the first time? Who's face is as black as the bottom of a pot?"

Shen Tuan shook his head: "Seniority is second, the most important thing is, if you call me that, it must be something bad!"

Li Tan sighed and said: "Well, it's really not a good thing. Daoist, you live in the mountains for a day, and you live in the world for a thousand years. When you go out, there are a few strange diseases in the county. The first ones are like the sun or Shaoyin. Even ephedra is useless. Within three to five days, there will be bone pain and body pain, and after a few days, the head and body will be swollen, and you will be unable to breathe. At this time, acupuncture and stone decoction are useless.

Shen Tuan's expression was solemn: "You don't want to say that they are very susceptible...Neighbors, relatives, friends and even doctors are not spared, are you?"

Li Tan nodded: "As expected, can you come to the city with me to have a look?"

Xue Zhu stood up and asked: "Uncle Li, isn't this just...the epidemic? My master is not doing well right now."

Li Tan looked at Shen Tuan again, and Shen Tuan shook his head and said, "It's okay, now I can't draw talismans, and I can't control swords. But I can't use it to see a doctor."

Xue Zhu sat back again.

Li Tan looked at Xue Zhu and said, "I know it's difficult. Even if the whole city was infected, you two would be fine. But the weak don't heal, and the tired get hurt first. Now nine of them died. More than [-] people are sick, and it is still expanding. We really have nothing to do!"

Xue Zhu protested in a low voice: "He is not a god, how can he be kind to the world every day."

Li Tan felt a little embarrassed.

Shen Tuan knocked on the table with his index finger, his face was serene, and he glanced at Xue Zhu calmly.Seeing this expression, Xue Zhu's heart tightened, and he dared not speak again.

Shen Tuan thought about it for a while, and said: "Take your people, the doctor, and everything you need. Tomorrow, I will go to Xishe to repair it. After that, I will go to the city with you, and when I meet the sick, I will order all the medicines and come back together. .”

Li Tan sat up straight, a little surprised: "You, you mean..."

Shen Tuan nodded: "Yes, bring them here. You and your master Zhengyin, explain the consequences, and ask him to send you more people."

Li Tan sighed softly: "Let me tell you what to say! Oh yes, our grandpa said that whoever wants to take over this matter will lose all the money approved by the court, just control it!"

Shen Tuan nodded: "This sounds like a human saying! It will save me from making a loss-making business."

Fu took out several porcelain bottles and a box of powder, and handed them to Li Tan: "The elixir was distributed to the subordinate doctors who were not infected, one for each. This powder was dissolved in [-]% water, and it was poured on the ground tomorrow. Three times a day."

Li Tan saluted deeply and hurried away.

Xue Zhu was still sitting by the table without looking up.Shen Tuan walked over, sat beside him, and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you see him off? Are you angry?"

Xue Zhu curled his lips: "I dare not."

Shen Tuan said: "Hey, are you really motivated? Isn't this accumulating virtue and doing good deeds. Besides, there is still money to be made."

Xue Zhu said angrily: "Samsara is not next to you, what kind of virtue do you have?"

Shen Tuan looked at him and said, "Repay the present world! Redeem the karma."

On the next day, Li Tan sent subordinate officials to work in Xishe to open up all the two rows of houses, add extra beds and bedding, and set up pots and stoves.Splash the potion on the ground to avoid evil and poison.

Shen Xue followed Li Tan into the city to see patients.Sure enough, as I said before, I suffered from creatine bone pain, chills and convulsions due to high fever.When the fever subsides, dry cough, edema, and shortness of breath.It will soon die of silent suffocation.

Xue Zhu helped Li Tan gather the patients, comforted the family members, and organized them to gather at Huai'an Temple.Whenever a doctor sees a doctor, most of them go home after prescribing medicine after completing the diagnosis and treatment.Li Tan took people to inform them that they had to leave home, so it took a lot of talking.

Shen Tuan sat in the tea shed across the street from the yamen, writing down a few prescriptions.Considering the comparison.It is said that there is no doubt that it is heat and poison, but if you blindly clear away heat and detoxify, you are afraid that the medicine will be overbearing and attack too much.The most urgent thing is to use a Shouxin Dan and Huanyingwei first, and then add the decoction.

He was concentrating on it, and there was a young gentleman sitting at the table without warning, 23 or [-] years old, with plain eyebrows, gentle and fair.Pure white Confucian clothes, snow-green half-arms, floating scarves and bow shoes, and an umbrella on the back.She concentrated on looking at the prescription written by Shen Tuan.

Shen Tuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Master?"

This young man in white was startled.Some of them lost their composure and hurriedly stood up, bowing their hands in salute.Shen Tuan got up to return the salute, and asked again: "Your Master, do you have any suggestions?"

The boy in white nodded.

Shen Tuan asked again: "Did you have a doctor for the epidemic disease here?"

The young man in white bowed apologetically, pointed at his throat, and shook his hands.He reached out to take the pen Shen Tuan used just now, and wrote a note.

"Be patient as a minister."

Shen Tuan took the note and understood everything.Quickly changed the prescription twice more, held it up to the young man in white, and said: "Young master is a master of medicine, please refer to it for more details."

People in the world read books, but most of them are not good looks, but they are good doctors.Since this young man in white has lost his speech, he naturally cannot be an official.Turning to study medicine is also human nature.

The young man in white looked at Shen Tuan's prescription, and still felt something was wrong.Then he talked with Shen Tuanbi.The font is elegant, gentle and soft.

This young man in white claimed his surname was Xie, and he came from a medical family.Traveling so far, many patients have been diagnosed.The reason for not coming out is also the same as that of Shen Tuan.I am worried that under the emergency, if I encounter strong medicine again, it will hurt the patient's righteousness, and it will be difficult to survive the recovery period.Looking at Shen Tuan's new recipe again, I still think it is risky.

Shen Tuan hesitated and said: "If you keep conservative, I'm afraid you won't succeed. It's dangerous, you can still give it a try."

Mr. Xie sighed with pity on his face, and wrote: "It's hard for the old and the weak, women and children."

Shen Tuan smiled: "My lord, you don't have to worry too much. I keep my heart pill blindly, but I can guard the righteousness of the camp. The pill first and the medicine later, if you think about it...it must be possible."

Mr. Xie looked curious, but he didn't want to ask.

Shen Tuan smiled and explained: "The main ingredient is Chiling ginseng, which is the elixir recipe passed down from my observations. Don't worry, my lord."

Mr. Xie clapped his hands and smiled, as if quite excited.He wrote: "The epidemic is over! The Taoist priest is merciful."

Shen Tuan sighed softly, and said: "At present, there is no other way, the price of Chiling is expensive, and I don't have much in stock. It just depends on how much the government can buy. According to past practices, spending money is like cramp, and it is still difficult to count on it. .”

Mr. Xie looked at the prescription with a relaxed expression, but was still excited.It seems that the problem has been solved, very carefree.

Shen Tuan saw Xue Zhu coming out from across the street, and waved to him.

Mr. Xie looked at it for a while, took Shen Tuan's pen, and nodded to inquire.Shen Tuan didn't know what he wanted the pen for, but he still said, "Young master, take this pen if you like it." Mr. Xie held the pen and bid farewell to Shen Tuan.Holding up the bamboo paper umbrella behind her, she turned and left.

Xue Zhu only had time to take a quick glance.

"Master, is this...?" Xue Zhu asked.

Shen Tuan looked at Mr. Xie's back, and praised: "He is a powerful doctor. Such a young man, he really can't be judged by his appearance."

Xue Zhu pouted, but didn't answer.

Shen Tuan withdrew his gaze, leaned into Xue Zhu's ear and said something.Xue Zhu was at a loss for a moment, wanted to walk away, but was unwilling.

Shen Tuan laughed loudly, and at the door of the tea shed, he put his arms around Xue Zhu, raised his face, and pecked his lips.Said: "Back!"

Xue Zhu stiffened up, and followed Shen Tuan step by step.
