Chapter 497 Dragon Beard

Luzhou is a thousand-year-old city. Thousands of years ago, the county governor Li Bin built the city here in imitation of the capital Xianheng. He also built water conservancy projects to calm floods, fertilize the soil, encourage farming, mulberry crops, and grain production.

Today, Luzhou has become the richest city in the southern region. Meng Chang, the former king of Shu, once ordered hibiscus to be planted all over the city of Luzhou to show its wealth. Therefore, Luzhou has the nickname "Rongcheng".

In Yongle Square in Luzhou, there was a businessman named Wang Bu. He ran a silk business and accumulated tens of thousands of dollars in his early years.

In addition, he was well-read in poetry and books, rich in economics, philanthropic, and approachable, and had many friends in Luzhou City.

A happy family, wealth and carefree life, attracting the envy of others.

There was only one thing that made Wang Bu worried for ten years.

That's his daughter.

Ten years ago, his daughter, who still had her hair pierced, suddenly complained to him that her nose was sore and her breathing was blocked.

Wang Bu thought it was something like a cold that children often suffer from, so he didn't pay attention. After asking a doctor to come and check, he discovered that a tiny polyp had grown in each of his daughter's left and right nostrils.

No matter what medicine was taken or what powder was applied, the two polyps did not disappear. Instead, as time went by, they grew larger and larger, and even hung out of the nostrils, like two honey locusts hanging in front of the lips.

Not only is it extremely unsightly,

Once touched, it can also cause severe pain.

She was obviously a young girl in her prime, but she was tortured by this strange disease so much that she could not sleep or eat well. She hid in her boudoir day and night and cried.

As a father, Wang Bu was also in unspeakable pain. He spent a lot of money to hire famous doctors to treat strange diseases, and even visited famous mountains and rivers in person, hoping to find a Taoist expert to cure his daughter's stubborn illness.

But still found nothing.

At noon, Wang Bu was sitting in the courtyard drinking wine to drown his sorrows. Suddenly he heard a message from the concierge, saying that a monk from India had come to ask for alms.

Wang Bu was upset and asked the concierge to take some silver to send the monk away, but the concierge said that the monk from Zhu claimed to be good at medicine that day and might have a way to solve the stubborn polyp disease.

Wang Bu's heart moved and he asked the concierge to bring the Tianzhu monk to the main hall to entertain him.

I saw that the monk had dark skin, skinny bones, dark blue eyes, sunken eye sockets, a long goatee, and a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth. He really looked like a hermit.

Wang Bu warmly received him, and during the conversation, he tested the Buddhist monk with the strange illnesses he had heard about. The monk answered fluently, and the treatment methods he said were impressive.

It’s here now, so let him try it.

Wang Bu called out his daughter. When the Buddhist monk saw Miss Wang, his brows lit up with joy and he nodded repeatedly, "This poor monk has also seen this disease in Tianzhu. It is not difficult to get rid of it."

Wang Bu was overjoyed and quickly asked a Buddhist monk to treat him.

The Buddhist monk then took out a packet of white medicinal powder, stepped forward, and blew gently on Miss Wang's nose.

I saw white powder attached to the polyps hanging out of my nostrils.

The two long polyps shriveled up in an instant, fell off naturally, and fell to the ground.

But Miss Wang was so stunned that she didn't even notice.

The stubborn illness that had plagued the Wang family for ten years disappeared. Wang Bu and his wife were overjoyed and hurriedly ordered their servants to prepare generous gifts to reward their benefactor.

But the Buddhist monk waved his hand and said with a smile: "Donors don't have to be like this. Practicing medicine to save people and hanging pots to help the world are all part of their duties. Besides, this medicinal powder is commonly seen in Tianzhu and is not worth much money.

If the donor insists on repaying his gratitude, he might as well give these two polyps to the poor monk.

It is convenient for poor monks to give examples when teaching medical skills to their disciples. "

This polyp has always been a worry for Wang Bu. He has long since not wanted to see it again, so he immediately agreed to give the polyp to the Buddhist monk.

The Tianzhu monk carefully wrapped the polyp with cloth, said goodbye and left.

Wang Bu went out to see him off. As soon as he stepped out of the door and before he had time to thank him again, he saw the Buddhist monk striding out a hundred paces away as if running away and disappearing into the crowd.

Well, after all, they are strange people, and any weird behavior is not unusual.

Wang Bu shook his head and turned back to his home to enjoy family happiness with his family.

After a while, the porter came again with news, saying that this time it was a young man riding a white horse asking to see him.

When Wang Bu went out to greet him, the young man frowned and looked sad. He raised his hands and said, "I heard that your beloved is suffering from a serious disease. Could you please introduce me to the next one? I may have a medicine that can cure polyps."

Wang Bu was stunned, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the young master. Just now a monk from Tianzhu came and cured my daughter's old illness and then left."

The young man felt as if he had been struck by lightning and asked unwillingly: "Those two polyps..."

"The eminent monk also asked for it, saying that it would be used to teach his disciples medical skills."

"Damn Monk, it's a step too late..."

The young man's face was ashen and he couldn't help but cursed loudly, which shocked Wang Bu.

Seeing the expression on Wang Bu's face, the scholar explained: "You don't know something. The two polyps in the nose are called dragon whiskers.

What seems like a stubborn illness is actually a gift from God.

When the dragon's beard grows to fifteen years, it will fall off naturally.

Those who have dragon beards by then will have no worries about food and clothing, peace and joy, happiness and longevity.

If the dragon's beard is taken away early before it reaches fifteen years, the person with the dragon's beard will become a normal person.

The dragon's whiskers can be used as medicine and made into elixirs, which can add ten years of skill to the monks. "

"ah?"

Wang Bu was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that the polyps in his daughter's nostrils had such an origin. He wanted to ask the scholar some more details, but he saw the young man riding a white horse and chasing the Buddhist monk in the same direction.

The Buddhist monk who was missed by the young man was currently sitting in a wing of a restaurant, drinking wine while looking at the two withered polyps on the table with great pride.

"I have long heard that Luzhou City is a famous city in the world, and there are many strange people and strangers. Today, when I saw it, it was just like this. I actually turned a blind eye to the dragon's whiskers under my nose. Instead, I, a monk from Tianzhu, got there first."

The Buddhist monk named Qiyu clasped his fingers on the wooden table and murmured to himself, his eyebrows were dancing and he was so happy that he couldn't help but take another sip of wine.

"If the monks in Luzhou City are all a bunch of wine and rice bags,

If you want to seize auspiciousness, you will have an opportunity..."

The Sanskrit monk Qiyu thought silently,

Ignoring the loud noises of the drinkers in the side room next to him.

"Have you heard that there is a new monk named Taoist Siemens who travels all over the world and is a chivalrous and righteous man?"
