A person from Zhejiang, together with several companions, prepared to enter the capital to participate in the examination. They sat on a boat and traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, and the interest was very high.
When the ship arrived in Suzhou, the man was sick and felt very uncomfortable, and his companion sent him to Ye Tianshi, a famous doctor in Suzhou, for diagnosis and treatment. Ye Tianshi inquired about the condition, carefully diagnosed his pulse, and after a long time, he said to the person: "Your disease is infected with wind and cold, and you can be cured by taking a dose of medicine." Just where are you going now? ”
The person replied that he was going to the capital to take the exam, and Ye Tianshi shook his head repeatedly: "Sir, don't go to the capital, if you get off the ship and go overland now, you will definitely get thirst-quenching disease, and this disease will be incurable, and you can only live for a month at most." Your pulse image already has initial symptoms, so hurry home so that you can catch up with the aftermath. ”
Ye Tianshi prescribed medicine to the lifter, and then asked the little apprentice around him to record the illness of the lifter in the medical case. When the man returned to the boat, thinking that he only had a month of life, he could not help but cry in fear and say goodbye to his companions to go home. Several of his companions comforted him, and one said, "This is just a common tactic used by doctors, deliberately scaring patients into asking for more money." Although Ye Tianshi was a famous doctor, he was not a god after all, and there was no need to take his words to heart. ”
On the second day, the person took the medicine prescribed by Ye Tianshi, and his condition was very good, and he did not feel uncomfortable. His companions advised him not to go home and to continue north into Beijing. The lifter also agreed, but there was always some uneasiness in his heart.
On this day, the boat that the people took arrived in Zhenjiang, because they encountered strong winds and could not move forward, so several people went to the Golden Mountain Temple to play together. There is a sign hanging in front of the Golden Mountain Temple, which says that there are doctors and monks sitting in the temple. A man went to the zen room where the doctor and monk diagnosed the patient and asked him to diagnose himself.
The doctor monk examined the pulse of the lifter and asked him where he was going, and the man replied that he was going to the capital to take the exam. The doctor monk frowned, "I'm just afraid you won't be able to catch up with the capital." After you leave the ship and land, the thirst quencher will attack, and you will not live more than a month, the capital is so far away, where is the time? Hearing him say this, the people felt that they were bound to die, and they couldn't help but shed tears again: "What you said is exactly the same as what Ye Tianshi said!" ”
The doctor monk asked the person, "What did Ye Tianshi say?" The man replied, "He said that there was no cure for my illness." The doctor monk laughed, "Nonsense, if medicine can't save the disease, why did the ancient sages leave such skills?" Listening to the meaning of the doctor monk's words, it was that there was still a glimmer of hope for his illness, and he quickly knelt down and asked the doctor monk to treat himself.
The monk lifted the man up and said to him, "After you leave the boat and land on the shore, go to the place of Qinghe Wangjiaying, where some people sell autumn pears, and you fill the back of the car with everything." From then on, if you feel thirsty, eat pears instead of drinking tea, and when you are hungry, you will steam pears for a few years to eat as rice. When you get to the capital, you will probably have to eat hundreds of pounds of autumn pears, and the natural disease will be better. Who says you can't be cured of this disease, isn't that a mistake? ”
The people thanked each other, went out of the Golden Mountain Temple, arrived at the Qinghe River, left the boat and sat on the carriage, and sure enough, the thirst quenching disorder attacked. According to the words told him by the doctor monk, he bought a cart full of autumn pears, and ate autumn pears when he was thirsty and hungry, and as a result, he was safe and sound along the way, and successfully arrived in the capital to participate in the test.
The results of the examination came out, and the person who did not pass the examination did not pass the examination, but he no longer cared about whether he passed the examination or not, and he felt that the doctor monk of the Golden Mountain Temple had saved his life, and he should be grateful to him. So on the way back, passing by the Golden Mountain Temple, he went to thank the doctor monk with twenty-two pieces of silver and beijing specialties. The doctor monk accepted the specialties of the capital he had sent, but refused to collect the money.
The monk said to the monk, "When the layman returns, he will pass through Suzhou, and then you will see Ye Tianshi and ask him to treat you." If he says you're not sick, you ask him why he used to say you were incurable. If he asks who has cured you of your illness, you will tell him the old monk's name. It's much better than you giving me silver. ”
The people went to Suzhou to see Ye Tianshi and asked Ye Tianshi to give him a follow-up consultation. Ye Tianshi examined his pulse and said strangely, "Sir is not sick, where does it need diagnosis and treatment?" "The person said that the last time he came to see the doctor, Ye Tianshi said that he had no medicine to save, Ye Tianshi did not remember that there was such a thing, let the little apprentice check the medical case, and sure enough, he found the record when he first lifted the person to treat the disease.
Ye Tianshi's eyes widened, he looked at the red-faced person in front of him, and asked in surprise, "It's so strange, sir, did you meet the immortals?" The man laughed and said, "I didn't meet a god, but a Buddha." He told the story of the treatment of the doctor monk of the Golden Mountain Temple, and Ye Tianshi was very curious in his heart: Is there such a famous doctor with superb medical skills in the world? He said to the lifter, "I see, sir, you go, I will close the clinic and ask him for advice." ”
Ye Tianshi closed the clinic and let the disciples go home, he changed his name and surname, dressed as a servant, took a boat to meet the doctor monk, and asked the doctor monk to be his teacher and learn medicine from him. The doctor monk saw that Ye Tianshi was completely sincere, so he accepted him. Ye Tianshi stood next to the doctor monk every day to see him treat others, and for a while, Ye Tianshi felt that the medical skills of the medical monk were on par with his own, and he couldn't see where he was higher than himself.
Ye Tianshi then asked the doctor monk: "I have studied with the master for a long time, and I feel that I have made great progress, or I will not let me prescribe medicine to the patient, what do you think?" The doctor monk agreed, and Ye Tianshi prescribed medicine to several patients and showed it to the doctor monk. The medical monk felt that the prescription was very good, and said, "Looking at your medical skills, you are already on par with Ye Tianshi, the famous doctor of Gusu, why don't you set up your own door and worship under the door of this old monk?" ”
Ye Tianshi replied humbly, "Disciples are afraid that they will mistake people's lives like Ye Tianshi, so they must keep improving and be foolproof, so that they can truly cure the disease and save people." The doctor monk nodded in approval, "Well said, according to what you said, you have already surpassed Ye Tianshi." ”
One day, someone carried a dying and seriously ill patient over, and the patient's stomach was bulging, like a pregnant woman who was pregnant with a child. The visitor told the monk, "This patient has been suffering from stomach pain for several years, and this time the pain is too much to bear, so he brought it here for treatment." The doctor monk diagnosed the patient's pulse, and then asked Ye Tianshi to diagnose his pulse.
After Ye Tianshi diagnosed the pulse, he prescribed a prescription and used the three points of Baixin as the main medicine. The monk looked at the prescription he had prescribed, smiled, and said, "Well, that's where you can't compare to me." You are too cautious and careful with the medication, and this patient should use arsenic for a dollar, so as to play a role in reviving the dead and ensuring the permanent removal of the root of the disease. ”
When Ye Tianshi heard that he wanted to use arsenic for a dollar, he was startled: "This patient has worms, and with three points of white letter, you can kill the worm medicine in his stomach, and with a dollar of arsenic, where can a person bear it?" The healer said, "You already know that he has worms, but do you know how big the worms in his stomach are?" This worm was already more than twenty inches long, and with three points of white letter, it could only temporarily faint it, and it was bound to attack after a while. And after the attack, if you use BaiXin for diagnosis and treatment, the worms will avoid the potion, and then there will really be no medicine to save. With a dollar of arsenic, you can poison the worms, with the feces excreted, once and for all, never relapse, this is not more effective? ”
Ye Tianshi was still a little uneasy, but the doctor monk did not hesitate, let the assistant next to him take out the pill and stuff it into the patient's mouth, and then pour it with water, instructing the patient's family: "Quickly carry him home, at night his stool will definitely discharge bugs, and then let my apprentice see it." ”
The patient's family members promised one after another and carried the patient home. At night, the patient did remove the stool, and the family found a red bug from the stool, which was two feet long. The patient soon woke up and cried out that he was hungry and wanted to eat. The doctor monk asked the patient to cook porridge with ginseng for the patient to take, and after more than ten days the patient was cured.
Ye Tianshi was convinced, and felt that the medical monk was indeed much more intelligent than himself. He no longer hid it and told the doctor monk that he was Suzhou Ye Tianshi. The doctor monk was deeply moved to see that he, as a generation of famous doctors, could humbly worship himself as a teacher and learn medical skills, and gave him a medical book to let him return to Suzhou. Ye Tianshi carefully studied medical books, and his medical skills had been improved with new improvements, and he had never encountered a tricky disease again.
