Chapter 190 The Man of the Sun
Time soon came to the Republic of China, when the Feng Shui master met Hui Zhong in Shanghai. This former monk was already over eighty years old at the time and had many descendants. Their family was definitely a capitalist in Shanghai, just like Tang Chizhou's family. He is also engaged in the medical business, and his family has built two hospitals. One of their most important secret recipes is related to the corpse worms on the monks. For certain diseases, this corpse worm can be used to treat it. It has miraculous effects. Of course, the corpse worms are not administered directly to patients. Instead, they must be processed and concocted.
Regarding these things about Huizhong, the Feng Shui master heard about them from Tang Chizhou. Later, because they both lived in Shanghai and had common friends, the Feng Shui master gradually got acquainted with Huizhong. Unexpectedly, the two of them got along well. We had a good conversation and became friends all year round. Huizhong also asked a Feng Shui master to consult with him on many Feng Shui issues.
As the friendship gradually deepened, the Feng Shui master felt that the time was almost up. He chose a time that he felt was more appropriate. He asked Huizhong directly about his experience in going to Tibet. The Feng Shui master was most curious about why Huizhong only learned from that From the narrations of former Qing officials, we can tell that the corpse worms on eminent monks have such important medical value.
To this day, when Hui Zhong recounts this experience, the mysterious and strange expression on his face still remains fresh in the Feng Shui master's memory.
Huizhong told the Feng Shui master very straightforwardly. If someone else asked him this question, he would definitely not answer. But the Feng Shui master was his best and only friend in his later years. And he knew that although the Feng Shui master was young. But he is mature and prudent. He is a person with absolutely no problem in quality. That's why he is willing to tell the Feng Shui master the biggest secret in his life.
It turns out that this Huizhong was born into a scholarly family. His father was also a scholar. He has been smart since he was a child and loves reading. Whenever he sees something with words, he can't help but pick it up and read it. And his father was in his He put a lot of effort and effort into his body. It seemed that he had placed all his unfulfilled ideals on his son. So when he was in his teens, he was already well-read. He often recited poems against his father. Although his life was not good during those years. Wealthy. But finally happy.
But it is true that "the sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortunes and misfortunes." When he was just thirteen years old, his father got a serious illness and died. The originally happy family suddenly became torn apart. Although that year He was just thirteen years old. But because he had read a lot and had a precocious mind, and the relationship between father and son was so deep, he was heartbroken over his father's death. He cried for almost three days and three nights, and cried to death several times. .In the end, I cried until I vomited blood. My throat could no longer make any sound.
But after death, life has to go on as usual. Compared with my kind and knowledgeable father, my mother seemed a bit rough and worldly. At that time, my mother was just in her early thirties, and she was still pretty. So she couldn't stand the loneliness. After my father died, Not long after that, he found a strong butcher and got married again.
At that time, Huizhong was too young, had no other relatives, and had no place to go, so he came to the butcher's house with his mother. For him, it was like going to hell.
This rude butcher made him do all kinds of hard work every day, and he would be beaten or scolded if he had to work a little slower. But the mother got along very well with the butcher. Whenever the butcher beat and scolded him, the mother would not help her son. He always turned to the butcher, and when the two of them had sex together at night, they often yelled, regardless of the fact that his son was in the side room.
Every night in the dead of night, when Huizhong lay aching on the bed made of firewood, he couldn't help but want to burst into tears. He thought of his father who loved him so much. He thought of the warmth he had had in the past. family life. Thinking about the current situation, I really don’t want to live and suffer anymore. Several times, he secretly tied his belt to the beam and wanted to hang himself. But every time, he would think of his father’s great expectations for him. So, I finally gave up the idea of committing suicide.
But Huizhong really couldn't bear this kind of life. He decided to escape from this home and never come back again. Just like that, late at night, he quietly carried a bag of dry food. The dry food in it was all about him. What I saved during the day, although some of it has already been dried, can always satisfy my hunger.
But he was still young after all. He was just over ten years old. So in the dark night, he felt very scared. But he had no way out and didn't know where to go. So, in the dark night, he cried and walked. Crying. At that time, he hated God very much. Why did his life have to be so miserable? At such a young age, he became a child without a family and relatives.
After walking out of the village, in the dark night, it was impossible to tell which was east, west, north or south. Huizhong had no choice but to grit his teeth, wipe his tears, and choose a direction to walk on.
When I was so scared that I couldn't bear it anymore, I knelt on the ground in the dark night, crying loudly and shouting: "Dad, please help your son under Jiuquan. Why did you leave so early? You made me worse off." Death. Do you know how scared I am now? What should I do? Dad?"
After crying for a while, the fear eased slightly. But when walking, Huizhong still felt that his whole body was shaking violently. Just like that, he walked in the dark night until dawn. He didn't know where he went. It seemed like it was still a deserted countryside. It felt like the wild. Because I was too tired, I just found a place to lie down casually. When I woke up, I ate some dry food, drank some spring water and continued walking.
Especially at night. There was still no inhabited place. Huizhong felt that she was afraid to continue walking. She was even more afraid if she didn't walk. There were too many mosquitoes at night and she couldn't sleep. So she had no choice but to continue on her way crying at night. .
The Feng Shui master said that when talking about this experience, Hui Zhong, who was already in his eighties at the time, would still have tears on his face. This shows how unforgettable and painful this period of time was in his mind.
I don’t know how many days passed. He may have been walking in the wrong direction. The further he walked, the more desolate and uninhabited the place became. On a moonlit night, he finally came to a temple. The temple looked very large. It was so late at night. In the wilderness, once you see a place where people live, you will feel a special sense of intimacy and security.
It must have been late at night. Huizhong plucked up the courage and called the door a few times. But there was no answer. He didn't dare to call again, so he fell asleep in the doorway. This was the first time in so many days that he had been outside. When he slept at night, although he was stared at all over, it was the most peaceful sleep he had had in many days.
When it was daybreak, the monk who opened the door saw a dirty child lying in the doorway. His face was covered in bruises and red spots from mosquito bites. He looked very pitiful.
So after asking Huizhong a few questions, he brought him to the abbot to see how to deal with it. The abbot saw that although Huizhong's clothes were a little dirty and tattered, his conversation and every move seemed very elegant and unlike ordinary people. He was a wandering child, so he asked Huizhong about his life experience in detail. Seeing that the old abbot was kind and kind, Hui Zhong was very fond of him, so he didn't hide it. He told the story of his miserable life experience in detail. The people around him listened. The two monks also wiped away tears.
After listening to this, the abbot also said with emotion: "Oh, bad fate. What a miserable person. But you are here today because of fate. If you want, just stay. Anyway, you don't have it now. Know where to go”.
After hearing this, Huizhong was of course very happy. He felt like he had survived a catastrophe and survived a desperate situation. From then on, the old abbot personally gave him the Dharma name "Huizhong" and asked him to follow him around.
After Huizhong entered the temple, he learned that this abbot was very different from the abbots of ordinary temples. He had superb medical skills. Many pilgrims came to the temple not only to burn incense and worship Buddha, but more importantly to see doctors. The abbot was a kind man. Even if he did He did nothing wrong and never beat or scolded him. Huizhong felt that his life in the temple had restored some of the feelings he had when his father was there. What made him most happy was that the abbot also taught him medical skills and said to Huizhong: He thought that Huizhong was not a Buddhist and should study medicine carefully so that if he returned to secular life in the future, he would have the skills to settle down and make a living.
Huizhong was originally a smart child. He had a meticulous mind and a strong knowledge of knowledge. He made rapid progress in medical skills. Huizhong not only studied medicine in the temple, but also studied various books every night. There were Buddhist scriptures and various scholars. He read hundreds of schools of thought, collections of classics and history, and notes on unofficial history. He often saw that the east was white when he read. Therefore, after many years of hard practice, Huizhong became a monk who understood ancient and modern times and was proficient in Buddhist scriptures and art. That area was also very famous. Because of his outstanding talents in various fields, he had close contacts with many literati and officials at that time.
The official who came back from Tibet was the one who had a closer relationship with Huizhong.
When Huizhong heard this official talk about the strange eminent monk he met in Tibet, his heart skipped a beat, because he knew that from various signs, it could be seen that people like eminent monks were medically speaking. It is very likely that he is a person with an extremely "yang and strong" personality. There are records of such people in the Qing Dynasty. The most famous one is Ji Yun and Ji Xiaolan. On Ji Xiaolan's tombstone, it is said that he is the "God of Fire" "Master" is reincarnated. Why do you say that?
Because Ji Xiaolan is a "Zhi Yang" person with a very strong fire energy. One of the manifestations of this strong energy is that he has to have sex with women at least five times a day to let the Yang energy in his body vent. Otherwise he will His eyes were red, his skin would be dry and cracked, his whole body would feel as uncomfortable as cramps, and he would feel restless. Once, when Ji Xiaolan was compiling "Sikuquanshu", he would stay in the inner court for several days and had no chance to go home and have sex with a woman. So his eyes were red and frightening. Not only was he jealous, but his cheekbones were also red. The emperor was shocked when he saw it. He quickly asked what was going on. Ji Xiaolan didn't hide anything and told the truth. The emperor laughed after hearing this and quickly called two palace maids. Let Ji Xiaolan "blow out the fire".
Not only this. Some books also record that Ji Xiaolan can "see things at night". That is, he can see things in the dark night. And this point seems to have some kind of connection with the eminent monk who only read scriptures in the dark. Different approaches but similar results.
