The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 419: The Fairy in the Gourd

"Everyone line up, don't push!"

"Master Sanbao, my son has also contracted a strange disease and will soon be unable to afford medicine. Thanks to you..."

"Little Master Sanbao has done immeasurable good deeds. If you were still here in Shigu Town, I don't know how many people would have died!"

"Yes, and the medicinal herbs given by Master Sanbao are very effective, much better than those I bought at Tongren Pharmacy!"

"Yes, I am a herbalist. I can prove that the herbs here from Master Sanbao are all of the best quality!"

……

Outside the yard, the people of Shigu Town lined up in a long queue, looking excited and talking a lot.

During this period, the strange disease continued to spread, and the medicinal materials that could cure the disease became more and more expensive. I don’t know how many people fell into despair.

But at this time, news came out that there was a young master who was treating patients and delivering medicine for free.

People came one after another and found that it was actually true. Moreover, this young master had superb medical skills and his medicinal materials were among the best. Many people were cured directly by taking the medicine. Even those with serious illnesses would show obvious improvement after taking it three or five times.

The most important thing is that Master Sanbao is compassionate and does not charge a penny.

In just two days, the strange disease in Shigu Town was effectively prevented and treated.

Sanbao took their pulses and prescribed medicine for them one by one, looking very serious and meticulous.

Although the three main herbs for treating strange diseases are Viola yedoensis, Andrographis paniculata and Tripterygium wilfordii, the dosage of the medicine varies according to the condition of each patient.

Sanbao hopes to help them get better faster.

Before I knew it, another busy day had passed. As the sun was about to set, the number of people coming to see the doctor gradually decreased.

In the setting sun, Sanbao wiped the sweat off his face. Although he was tired, there was a relaxed and happy smile on his face.

He closed the door and walked into the medicine field. He first bowed to the gourd on the water tank and chanted words of thanks to the Buddha.

Then he picked up the gourd and carefully watered the medicine field.

These days, he didn't know how many times he was shocked by this magical gourd. The gourd was empty and pitch black, and he couldn't see anything clearly, but it seemed like a bottomless pit and unfathomable.

He once filled three full jars of water into it, but the small gourd was still empty.

When he poured out the water, he found that the water was rich in spiritual energy and there was also a faint hint of purple. Using it to water medicinal herbs could make them grow and mature quickly, and the medicinal power was extremely strong.

It was thanks to this magic gourd that he was able to successfully prevent the spread of the strange disease in just two days.

The Three Treasures regarded it as a manifestation of the Buddha.

The Buddha heard his sincere prayer and chose to perform a miracle to help him heal the disease and save lives.

Of course, he did not intend to keep the magic gourd for himself. After saving the people, he would return the gourd to the uncle.

The other party probably didn't know the value of the gourd, so he gave it to him. Sanbao naturally wouldn't take advantage of it.

Just as he was full of anticipation on how to help more people cure their illnesses, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Boom boom boom!
The knock on the door was very loud, and the person knocking seemed to be very emotional.

Before Sanbao could go over to open the door, the wooden door was kicked open and several figures walked in swaggeringly.

Leading the way was an old man in gorgeous clothes and with a sinister face, who looked very impressive, and followed behind him were several constables.

Sanbao was stunned and asked in surprise: "Manager Xu, why are you here?"

The person who came was the owner of Tongren Pharmacy in Shigu Town. His triangular eyes stared at the gourd in Sanbao's hand, and a hint of greed flashed across them.

"You little monk, you dare to use magic to make medicinal herbs grow. Who knows if there are any problems with the medicinal herbs produced by this thing?"

Sanbao was shocked, realizing that Shopkeeper Xu might have seen him watering the plants from the corner.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

What's more, his current behavior has greatly affected the business of Tongren Pharmacy. Manager Xu must have hated him to the core.

"Manager Xu, as a doctor, shouldn't you put saving lives first? As long as this medicine is good and can save lives, why—"

"Good medicine is not good merchandise."

Shopkeeper Xu sneered and said, "I am a businessman first, and a doctor second. If a patient gets well after taking a certain medicine, how can I make money?"

"Little monk, you don't understand. A truly good medicine has some effect after taking it, but it won't completely cure you. You have to take it continuously for a long time, and it will make you dependent on it."

After a pause, he said meaningfully: "Do you think the medicine in my Tongren Pharmacy is really inferior to yours?"

For many medicines, he would even try to deliberately reduce their medicinal properties or make the prescription less effective.

It is better that everyone in the world is sick than that the medicine on the shelf is covered with dust.

Sanbao was shocked and stared at Shopkeeper Xu blankly. He had never thought that people in this world could be so vicious.

Being a kind-hearted man, he could never have imagined that there would be doctors in the world who would deliberately make themselves 'uncurable'.

"Little monk, you are so young, but you practice magic. You are deceiving the world and stealing reputation. I'm afraid you have ulterior motives. Captain Li, why don't you arrest him quickly?"

Shopkeeper Xu shouted loudly, but his eyes never left the purple gold treasure gourd, and he did not forget to give instructions.

"By the way, don't damage my gourd."

Captain Li sighed inwardly. Although he felt a little bit reluctant, they all took money from Manager Xu, and the county magistrate took the most. He ordered them to obey Manager Xu's orders in everything.

"Little Master Sanbao, I'm sorry!"

The detectives rushed forward, some holding swords, some holding ropes, trying to arrest Sanbao, but they didn't expect that Sanbao was agile and had quick reactions, and always managed to dodge at the last moment.

But he could only dodge, not attack, and for a moment he was in danger. Although Sanbao had some skills, he had not learned any magic, nor did he have any magic weapons, nor did he have much practical experience, so he was no match for several mortals with good martial arts.

"Bah!"

Captain Li roared angrily, and the murderous aura was overwhelming, which made Sanbao slightly distracted and his steps showed flaws.

The next moment, the knife flashed.

Sanbao subconsciously raised the gourd in his hand to block it.

clang! !

Captain Li's twenty-one-pound steel knife suddenly broke into pieces with a snap, and he flew backwards and fell flat on his face.

However, the purple gold gourd was completely intact, without even a mark.

"Good baby!"

Shopkeeper Xu's eyes became even more greedy, and his pupils stood up like a wild beast, becoming sharp and aggressive.

The next moment, he moved as fast as a ghost.

Sanbao only felt a gust of evil wind blowing, mixed with a disgusting fishy smell, and then his eyes flashed, and the magic gourd in his hand was snatched away.

Shopkeeper Xu kicked him down, then caressed the treasure gourd lovingly with a burning look in his eyes.

"What a great treasure! I just wanted to make some money, but I didn't expect to gain so much. Little monk, thank you for giving me the magic gourd, hahahaha..."

Shopkeeper Xu's voice seemed to have changed a little, becoming more shrill.

Sanbao finally realized that the other party was not an ordinary person.

The detectives were also very surprised and looked at Manager Xu with strange eyes.

Shopkeeper Xu was laughing, but the gourd in his hand suddenly moved slightly and his laughter stopped abruptly.

His expression became extremely solemn, and veins bulged on the palm of his hand holding the gourd, as if he was using a lot of strength.

It was as if it was not a gourd, but a huge rock, a mountain.

The gourd became heavier and heavier, until finally even his feet sank into the ground and his arms were shaking violently.

"Little monk...are you competing with me in magic power?"

Shopkeeper Xu stared at Sanbao with his beast-like eyes, his voice was very fierce, but also a little weak and breathless.

The treasure was really too heavy, but he was unwilling to let it go no matter what.

In his opinion, it was the little monk named Sanbao who was casting a spell to make the gourd heavier. The other party was only at the second level of cultivation, so how could he be afraid?
"Wake me up!!!"

Shopkeeper Xu shouted loudly, and a black wind rose from under his feet, carrying him into the sky.

This is the art of controlling the wind, which can carry objects weighing thousands of pounds. Moreover, according to his experience in fighting, although the cultivator can control the magic weapon through the air, the control ability will become weaker and weaker as the distance increases.

After he flies a hundred or a thousand feet away, I don’t believe that this little monk can make the gourd continue to become heavier.

When Sanbao saw that he could fly, he knew that the other party's magic power was far superior to his own. His eyes dimmed. It seemed that the gourd could not be saved. But without this treasure, where could he find medicinal materials to treat the people?
Just as he was eclipsed, a scream suddenly sounded in the distance.

Shopkeeper Xu unexpectedly fell from a high altitude and landed directly on the street, attracting the attention of countless passers-by.

He struggled continuously in a pool of blood, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not move the small gourd on his chest.

The gourd pressed down on his body like a mountain, nailing him to the ground. His chest was deeply sunken and he had no idea how many ribs were broken.

What was even more terrifying was that the gourd was still getting bigger and seemed to be getting heavier. Cracks began to appear on the ground beneath Shopkeeper Xu, slowly spreading around like a spider web.

The onlookers were stunned and talked a lot.

Most people applauded.

In the past, Manager Xu of Tongren Pharmacy was a relatively honest person, but ever since the news of this strange disease came out, he seemed to be obsessed with money. He kept raising the prices of the medicines and acted as if he didn't care whether the medicines were sold or not.

Some people saw that he would rather let the medicinal materials in his warehouse rot and mold than sell them at a low price.

Seeing him like this now is really gratifying.

Not long after, the county magistrate was also alarmed and rushed over with a group of detectives. However, by then the gourd had become as big as a rock and pressed down on Shopkeeper Xu, causing him to bleed profusely from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose.

The heavy breathing sounded like the howling of a dying beast.

"Divine monk, please quickly retract your magical powers!"

After Captain Zheng’s explanation, the county magistrate immediately realized that Sanbao was not a simple person. He made a bitter face and bowed to him.

Sanbao scratched his bald head, also very puzzled.

How can I have any magical powers? It's just that the Buddha's gourd is powerful.

But he didn't want to see Shopkeeper Xu being crushed to death, so he stepped forward and pleaded, "Gourd Buddha, please spare his life, maybe he will change in the future..."

The next moment, the magic gourd moved again.

The gourd mouth opened automatically, gushing out brilliant light, and then a figure slowly flew out, stepping on the clouds, wearing a white robe, with a golden rope hanging from his waist, and a sword hairpin in his head.

There was a faint purple aura flowing in his eyes, his face was handsome and gentle like jade, and he showed a warm smile to Sanbao.

"The world is big in the cup, and the sun and moon are long in the gourd."

"Little monk, we meet again. We are destined to meet."
