Chapter 46: The Nourishing Earth and the Greedy Wood

Luo Li thought: The air here is very good. When meditating, one can clearly feel the smoothness of the meridians. Half a day here is equivalent to two days at the foot of the mountain. If I can find my master and accompany him to retire here, it would be perfect.

Seven or eight days later, Wuyuan finally made some progress. He called Luo Li into his room and took his pulse again. He said, "Well, not bad. Your heart meridian blood has been captured by someone. Coincidentally, the other party is of the water element that restrains your fire nature. I will use his method and use the meaning of earth to restrain him. Perhaps it will work."

Tang Mizhi nodded. This reasoning also makes sense. He asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

Wuyuan pointed at his desk. Only then did the two of them see a pile of yellow soil on the desk.

Tang Mizhi pointed at the soil in disbelief and said, "You, what kind of trick are you playing? Don't tell me your meaning of earth really requires mud?"

"What mud! You are vulgar. That is the nourishing earth. In medicine, it is said to strengthen the foundation and nourish the vitality. This vitality refers to the nourishing qi. If we compare the body to an army, the heart meridian is the commander. If the commander is damaged, the nourishing qi will be unstable." As he spoke, Wuyuan grabbed a handful of soil and held it in his hand. Then he said, "This is what I chiseled off from the main hall of the temple. After you cleanse yourself, Luo Li, go to the main hall and see how I treat you." After finishing, he still didn't forget to give Tang Mizhi a standard glare.

Seeing his confident appearance, Tang Mizhi said to Luo Li with half-belief, "This old eccentric is sometimes unreliable. But he has promised to cure you. Let's trust him this time."

Luo Li trusted Tang Mizhi. He went back to cleanse himself and went to the main hall to see Wuyuan.

When he entered, Wuyuan was sitting in front of the hall and playing with mud. Seeing Luo Li, he motioned for him to sit on the bench beside him.

When Tang Mizhi saw Wuyuan mixing the mud and slowly making it into a bowl shape, he was shouting in his heart: He is really playing with mud! If he can't cure you, he will have a hard time.

Suddenly, he thought of an incident from many years ago. At that time, he went to a client's house to look at the feng shui. He was bitten by a mad dog that rushed out. Enduring the pain, he finished the job. It was already the next day, and the symptoms immediately appeared. His muscles cramped and he had a high fever all over. In his situation, he was waiting to die. It was useless even if he was sent to the hospital. The client lived in a remote place. By the time he was sent back, the illness could no longer be controlled.

At that time, his master Mo Wen was not around. Wuyuan was as anxious as a headless fly. Finally, he thought of a way. He immersed Tang Mizhi in Tianchi and somehow got a bowl of mud and forced him to drink it.

Tang Mizhi used his remaining sanity to turn his head aside. Two words: I won't drink! Wuyuan "inhumanely" restrained him and forced him to drink it. For Tang Mizhi who had Cleanliness originally, he wished he could just be stabbed and die immediately.

Fortunately, he was young at that time and survived. Thinking of this now, Tang Mizhi secretly put aside the discomfort he saw.

Wuyuan really made the mud into a bowl. He winked at Tang Mizhi. "Come, build a fire."

Tang Mizhi took out a talisman brush and drew a talisman. He placed it where Wuyuan pointed. Then he recited a spell. Boom! A flame sprang up.

Wuyuan told Luo Li to sit by the fire. Luo Li did as he was told.

Then they saw Wuyuan sitting cross-legged and meditating. He placed the bowl on the fire. He began to chant incantations. Only then did the mud bowl stand steadily on the fire and begin to continuously emit wisps of yellow smoke.

Luo Li saw this and thought to himself: Daoist Wuyuan is also a remarkable person. This kind of medical skill is a method of guiding qi and detoxifying. It requires profound magical power.

It is also a masterpiece.
