Chapter 7 Taoist Medicine
Gu Yanfei closed his eyes completely, his senses magnified several times.
The evening wind is as cold as water, and the flowers and trees in the courtyard dance in the wind.
She could clearly hear the sound of the wind blowing through the branches, the sound of falling flowers, the sound of water, the flapping of birds' wings... and the almost inaudible sound of insects.
After a while, she finally opened her eyes and was a little sure—
The spiritual energy in this small world is so thin that it is almost non-existent, even if it is the spiritual root of the genius of the sky, it will not be able to bring it into the body for a lifetime.
If she can't cultivate, she can only be a mortal with no strength.
The cool wind from the outside blew in from the window, and the stack of white paper under the paperweight was blown up by the wind, making a "swoosh" sound.
Gu Yanfei took out a piece of paper, laid it flat on the table, and then slowly began to grind the ink.
The candle on the desk reflected Gu Yanfei's pair of black pupils extremely brightly, like the night sky full of vast stars.
The Master said: "Don't worry about not having a position, so you can stand up. Don't worry about not knowing what you know, and asking for something to know."
After two lifetimes, Gu Yanfei can better understand the deep meaning of this sentence. In life, if you want to stand on the ground, you must have a skill.
Gu Yanfei took up a wolf pen, dipped the tip of the pen with some ink, and wrote the words "Taoist" on the paper.
These two characters are written like flowing clouds and flowing water, vigorous and powerful, and the finishing is clean and neat, giving people a feeling of falling paper clouds and smoke and swaying freely.
Gu Yanfei stared at these two words quietly.
The Tao of Taoism is not the Tao of Taoism.
Taoist doctors use Taoism to benefit life and medicine to help the world. They not only use herbal decoction, prescriptions, acupuncture and moxibustion to treat diseases, but also use Daoyin, breath regulation, Nei Dan, bigu and other health preservation methods. In addition, there are Taoism, virtue, Fu, Accounting, lottery, incantation, fasting, sacrificial offerings, prayers and various means, pay attention to both form and spirit, and form a self-contained system.
When she was in the Yaoling world, she was a medical practitioner and joined the teacher at the age of five.
Master taught her that all things come to the same destination, "Tao" is in things, and things are in "Tao".
This small world will naturally have its "Tao".
Gu Yanfei hooked his lips into a smile, as bright as a peony blooming under the moon.
"Girl."
The voice of Kui Bi sounded outside the door.
After Gu Yanfei responded, Kuan Bi pushed the door and entered the house, holding the food box in one hand, her beautiful round face couldn't hide her worry.
"Girl, the old lady in the kitchen told the slave maid that Madam Xu is going back to Beijing." As she put down the food box, she replied, "Madam Xu said that you are not following the rules, and returning to Beijing is also a shame for the Hou Mansion, she I won't take you back."
Kuibi frowned tightly, very worried.
With the temperament of Xu Mammy, she will definitely complain to Mrs. Tai when she returns to Beijing, and Mrs. Tai's likes and dislikes will determine whether the second girl can return to Beijing...
Gu Yanfei didn't even move the corners of his eyes and brows, and unmoved three words: "Let her go."
"But..." Juan Bi was about to say something, but was interrupted by Gu Yanfei.
"Let someone go to Xijiao Mountain to recover the body." After speaking, Gu Yanfei got up and walked to the dressing table, and took a pair of red gold and pearl earrings from the dressing box, "You take these earrings to Dou's pawnshop, hire someone to do it. manage."
Kuanbi took over the earrings, feeling warm in her heart, and then there was a strong sour feeling.
Mammy Xu had the intention to give the girl a slap in the face, and the people in the house would definitely not listen to the girl, so they could only go outside and hire someone to collect the corpse.
Thinking of the tragic death of the coachman Lao Wang and Mrs. Zhang, Kuan Bi felt a heavy weight on her shoulders.
"Young lady, don't worry, this servant will do it now." Juan Bi took her life and left in a hurry, and for a while she forgot what Xu Ma said she was going to leave.
The fact that Juan Bi went out immediately reached Xu Mamma's ears.
A woman in her early fifties with brown spots on her face looked at Madam Xu with a smirk, and said flatteringly, "I deliberately told Kuan Bi that she was so scared that she almost dropped the food box. She just went to the second place. After the girl was there, she hurried out."
"I think it's the second girl who knew it was wrong, and asked Kuan Bi to go out and buy some good things to honor you!"
Mother Xu picked up the tea cup, curled the corners of her lower lips calmly, and sighed, "The second girl grew up outside and has a quirky temperament... Those of us who are slaves, we can only bear more."
Mother Xu just knocked out one of her front teeth, and now when she opens her mouth, there is a black hole between her lips, which makes her speech a little leaky.
The old woman repeatedly said yes, and then said some flattering compliments.
Next to , two little maids were packing their bags and came over from time to time to ask Mammy Xu for instructions.
"Mr. Feng, go and stare at the second girl."
Mammy Xu dismissed Mrs. Feng casually, with a ruthless look in her eyes: The second girl made her lose face in front of the servants, and she would never let it go.
However-
A stick of incense passed, an hour passed, and two hours passed... When the candle burns out, the moon falls and the sun rises, but Mammy Xu never waited for Gu Yanfei.
"Mother Xu, all your bags are packed, Lao Li Tou came to ask when you will leave..."
After breakfast, the little maid bravely came to ask Mother Xu for instructions, not daring to look directly at the gloomy face of her.
After a good night's sleep, the calmness on Xu's face disappeared long ago, and was replaced by embarrassment and anger.
She placed the tea cup heavily on the coffee table beside her, and the sound of the impact made the little girl's heart tremble and her head dropped even lower.
"..." Xu Mammy rubbed her temples in annoyance.
Now, she has only two ways to go, either she slaps her face and doesn't leave, or leaves the second girl and immediately sets off back to Beijing.
Of course she was eager to choose the second way, but the problem was that if she didn't bring the second girl back to Beijing alone, it would be difficult for her to do business.
I still remember that before she set off from the capital in June, Mrs. Tai had specially instructed her to teach the second girl the rules, which was related to the faces of the Gu and Fang families.
Mrs. Tai valued the marriage between the Hou's mansion and the British public mansion very much, and was waiting for the second girl to go back to fulfill the marriage contract.
This errand cannot be missed... To put it bluntly, if she can't do it well, there are still many people in the Hou Mansion waiting to take over!
Thinking, Xu Mama felt a throbbing pain in the missing tooth, and the pain seemed to penetrate into the bone marrow.
"Mother Xu, it's not good!" Madam Feng shouted with a fuss, and hurried into the room, her round chin and bloated body trembling.
Madam Xu disliked Madam Feng for being vulgar, but she still asked, "What's wrong?"
Mrs. Feng replied, "This morning, when Mrs. Qian passed by Dou's pawnshop, she was pulled by the man there. The man said that someone went to the pawnshop to make a pair of earrings last night, and the earrings had the mark of our Hou's mansion on them. "
"Right now, there are rumors out there saying that our Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is in decline and has no money... It's going to be cut off."
The voice of the last five words is getting lower and lower, as fine as mosquitoes.
