Underworld entries, starting with ghost stories.
Chapter 57 Buddha is brought down, and the advisor is invited up.
Wu Qing was secretly shaken, thinking that what was bound to happen had finally arrived.
Looking at the enormous, muscular Fahai before him.
He must have secretly discovered that Xiaobai and Xiaoqing are demons, and he came to exorcise them.
Even though he knew the script was like that, he was still a little flustered.
Fortunately, since becoming a clerk, the most basic skill of "calming people down" has become instinctive for him.
"So it's Master Fahai of Jinshan Temple! May I ask what brings you here, Master, and why you have stopped me?"
"Does Doctor Qing also know of this humble monk?"
"The name of Master Fahai of Jinshan Temple is known far and wide."
"Since that's the case, to be frank, this humble monk would like to invite Doctor Qing to preach at Jinshan Temple."
"Ask me... to explain?" Wu Qing looked up in astonishment.
Fahai said, "This humble monk has also heard of the name of this Zhenqing Doctor, and heard that your medical skills are extraordinary, and that you often treat the sick and save lives without taking a penny."
"There are many people in the world who call themselves great benefactors, but very few are like you, benefactor, who practice medicine and are willing to sincerely save people."
"Therefore, I have come to invite you to Jinshan Temple to preach the Dharma to the monks and the people."
Wu Qing indeed often did not take a single penny.
Because he has Xiaobai and Xiaoqing to raise.
Now everyone lives in Xiaobai and Xiaoqing's garden.
He knew that he was renowned for his medical skills and kind heart.
But he never expected that it would be this kind of thing that would attract Fahai.
He said in astonishment, "Master, you are a Buddhist monk, while I am merely a physician. Master, have you chosen the wrong person to invite me to preach?"
Fahai laughed and said, "Not so! Buddhism teaches the salvation of all sentient beings, while medicine teaches the rescue of all sentient beings. They may seem different, but they are actually the same principle."
"The Buddhist path of saving sentient beings stems from an inability to bear the suffering of the people and a desire to rescue them. Similarly, a healer's act of saving sentient beings is to help them escape suffering; this is the true meaning of saving sentient beings."
"I have heard that not only does the benefactor frequently waive medical expenses for patients, but he also selflessly imparts his medical knowledge and theories to others. The benefactor's compassion for all beings surpasses that of the Buddha."
Wu Qingdao: "Superior to Buddha?"
Fahai said, "Even if the Buddha sits in a Buddhist temple, motionless, deaf, blind, and without limbs, unable to distinguish grains, without a sense of self, and with no sense of purpose, he is far less capable of saving lives than you, benefactor. Are you not superior to the Buddha?"
Wu Qing was dumbfounded.
Fahai said, "Your compassion surpasses that of the Buddha, which is why I have come to invite you to preach at Jinshan Temple. I have temporarily removed the Buddha from the temple; please take a seat and explain the principles of medicine and the heart of saving the world to everyone."
Wu Qing said, "This..."
Fahai said, "Do you have any family members you wish to inform? I am fast on my feet, so I will take you home first and tell your family."
Wu Qing hurriedly said, "No need! No need!" How could he dare let this monk see Xiaobai and Xiaoqing?
Fahai said, "In that case, please follow me on my journey."
His robe swayed, flashing with golden light. Grabbing Wu Qing's shoulder, the golden light appeared, and they instantly flew towards Jinshan Temple.
He was so impulsive that Wu Qing didn't have time to refuse.
On the other side, several children watched in panic as a tall, fierce-looking bald man grabbed Doctor Qing and left.
"Brother Aqing has been captured by that bald monk!" "Quickly, go and inform Lady White Snake and Xiaoqing!"
They ran all the way out of town, and in the garden they banged on the door while shouting, "Something terrible has happened! Brother Aqing has been kidnapped!"
Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing were waiting for their husband to return when they heard the children's cries and hurriedly came out to inquire.
Wu Qing was carried by Fahai and flew all the way to Jinshan Temple.
It wasn't raining at Jinshan Temple. The setting sun shone brightly on the temple, making it sparkle as if it were enveloped in Buddha's light.
Perhaps this is the origin of the name Jinshan Temple?
Fahai landed with Wu Qing, and in the main hall, the Buddha statue was indeed moved to the side, leaving the stone lotus platform empty.
The monks and many common people sat solemnly on prayer cushions in front of the hall.
Fahai said, "Dr. Qing, please take a seat!"
"Isn't that inappropriate?" Wu Qing said. "How could I possibly take the position of Buddha?"
Fahai said, "The Buddha's teachings say: Everyone is a future Buddha!"
"What we are bringing down now is just a stone that looks like Buddha. The one who sits on it is the future Buddha with spirituality."
"This lotus platform is open to everyone, so why can't you, Doctor Qing, sit on it?"
He continued, "Please do not blame me for being abrupt, benefactor. It is only because I heard the people in your town talking about the medicine you teach that I found it to be quite novel. If it could be spread, it would surely be of great benefit to the people. That is why I invited you here."
"If you are unwilling to go on stage, I will not force you. I will then send you home."
Wu Qing said, "In that case, there's no harm in going on stage."
With a gentle wave of his hand, Fahai sent him onto the stone lotus platform with a burst of Buddhist power.
Wu Qing then sat cross-legged on the platform, sorted out his thoughts, and began to teach the monks and common people the art of medicine.
Wu Qing knew that the most important aspect of medicine in this era was that it lacked the concept of "bacteria" that would be used in later generations.
Without this concept, there is no way to prevent it. Although it can be forcibly explained by evil spirits, it is too general and something that cannot be seen is difficult to truly convince people.
So they started by teaching people how to make microscopes and observe bacteria, and then went on to explain the causes of various diseases and how to prevent them.
He didn't know how much everyone could understand, but he saw monks in the audience taking notes on his every word.
He believes that as long as what he teaches is feasible and verifiable, it will eventually bring about some changes to the world's medical practices.
After all, this is the "Song Dynasty" that even Ming Dynasty books mention. And even in the real Song Dynasty, the technology was already sufficient to make further medical innovations; what was lacking was a leader with the right ideas.
He spoke on and on for a long time, and some people listened attentively while others were drowsy.
However, there was no disturbance or interruption. Even those who couldn't understand or couldn't sit still left quietly.
He spoke at length about combining contemporary technology with future modern medicine, sharing his insights without reservation, until dusk when lanterns were hung in the Buddhist temple and a brazier was lit.
After he finished speaking, he stood up on the stage and bowed to express his gratitude.
Several monks brought over wooden steps, which he climbed down. The monks then carried the Buddha statue back up.
Fahai stepped forward and said, "Your insight is unique and original, and I admire you greatly."
Wu Qing bowed and said, "My knowledge is but a small matter, not worth mentioning."
Fahai said, "From what I have heard along the way, if what you say were to be widely disseminated, it would greatly benefit all living beings."
"Our temple will compile what you have learned today into a book and distribute it to the people. Please go to the back courtyard first; the vegetarian meal has been prepared."
Wu Qing hurriedly said, "It's already dark. If I don't go back soon, my wife will definitely worry. I won't stay here."
Fahai said, "Then this humble monk will escort you back."
"No need!" Wu Qing said. "I just saw a few people from this county in front of the temple, so I'll just go back with them. I wouldn't dare trouble you any further, Master."
Fahai insisted on escorting him, but he refused several times. Finally, Fahai said, "Then this humble monk will escort you to the foot of the mountain."
Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, Wu Qing had not yet had a chance to meet the local people.
Two women flew over, calling out, "My lord!" and "Brother Aqing!"
Before Wu Qing could speak, Fahai suddenly shielded him behind him, his eyes widening as he roared, "Demon?"
