Chapter 796 Delivering Medicine

The moonlight in Dafu Lingjiu Temple is uniquely beautiful, as if influenced by the osmanthus fruit. Even the moon in the sky seems exceptionally graceful.

Zeng Gong's eyes fell on the magical medicine, and he explained the benefits and disadvantages, saying: "This magical medicine can not only dissolve Taiyin, but also is a Taiyin spiritual seed. It is not only unique in the method of nourishing the spirit, but also can treat many injuries to the vitality. It has extraordinary magical uses and extraordinary value. It cannot be measured by ordinary things. Have you thought it through?"

Gong Mengbi nodded and said, "To be honest, I have no shortage of spiritual objects for cultivation. Since we have met, I think it is fate. If your patient can afford it, it would be fine to give it to him."

Zeng Gong was delighted and said, "That's great. It's worth my trip."

"But I have another request."

"Please say."

Gong Mengbi glanced at Master Yu beside him and said, "Master Yu is a filial man. Although this is the first time I've met him, I admire his character. His mother is seriously ill and can only be cured by a medical master like you. I hope Master Zeng can help him, which will also be a way to fulfill his filial piety."

Master Yu's eyes suddenly widened, and he quickly stood up and said, "Please, Master Zeng, save my mother's life. I am willing to give away all my wealth and work like a slave to repay you."

The monk in charge of reception also pleaded for him, saying, "Mr. Yu is indeed copying scriptures and praying for his mother in this temple, and he has a pure filial heart. Mr. Zeng is kind-hearted, so please help him."

Mr. Zeng looked at Mr. Yu. There was a hint of melancholy between the brows of the scholar. He looked at him nervously, his eyes full of pleading.

Mr. Zeng smiled and said, "It is just as this gentleman said. Since we have met, it must be fate. When I have finished this matter, I will go to your house to treat your mother's illness."

Master Yu was overjoyed and bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Zeng!"

Zeng Gong nodded and said to Gong Mengbi, "May I ask your name, sir?"

"My surname is Gong, my courtesy name is Mingfu, and Mr. Zeng called me Mingfu."

"Then I will go and ask my patient if he is willing to pay in exchange for the Guishi in Master Mingfu's hand. If he is willing, I will take Master there tomorrow morning."

Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "The blind man even invited Mr. Zeng to come, so how could he not be willing? Mr. Zeng can just take me there directly, why bother running back and forth like this?"

Zeng Gong slowly shook his head and said, "Mr. Mingfu has a romantic heart, but others may not be like that. Although my patient is eager to get the medicine, it depends on whether he can afford the price. Otherwise, if I take Mr. Mingfu with me, I'm afraid he will force me to buy it and I will have to change it even if I don't want to."

"I see. Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Zeng."

"It doesn't matter."

Zeng Gong returned to the table and said, "Masters, due to some coincidence, I am afraid that we will not be able to continue discussing the Dao today. When I am done, I will come to Dafu Lingjiu Temple to meet you again."

The abbot waved his hand and said, "Is there anything more important than curing illnesses and saving lives? Go ahead, business is more important."

Zeng Gong hurried away under the moonlight.

The abbot looked at Gong Mengbi and Master Yu and said with a smile, "It is a coincidence that we have come together. This is indeed a beautiful story."

Gong Mengbi held up the half-eaten peach and gestured to the abbot with a smile. The abbot also smiled and asked the monk beside him to send a few more fruits from his table mountain to the table of Gong Mengbi and Master Yu.

Mr. Yu was very grateful and kept thanking the receptionist and the abbot.

"Mr. Yu's handwriting is very good. Each word is like a pearl and can shine brightly at night. If you really want to thank him, please copy another scroll of scriptures for us." said the abbot.

Mr. Yu agreed solemnly.

The guest of honor had already left, and the abbot and several accompanying Zen masters apologized and left one after another.

Gong Mengbi and Yu Gongzi, who were there to eat and drink for free, would not stay long. The receptionist ordered two monks to bring fruits to their rooms, and the banquet was over.

At dawn the next day, after breakfast, Zeng Gong, accompanied by the receptionist, came to look for Gong Mengbi again.

Seeing Gong Mengbi, Zeng Gong said happily: "Master Mingfu, I have already agreed with the patient that he is willing to exchange the Purple Cloud Fairy Ganoderma for the Moon-shaped Gui fruit in your hand. I have seen the Ganoderma, and it is also a treasure that can increase cultivation. Gui fruit can nourish the spirit, and the Ganoderma can nourish the Qi. Although they are of different qualities, they are both very valuable."

Gong Mengbi was even happier and said, "I am sorry to bother Mr. Zeng."

Zeng Gong said: "It's just a trip, what's the trouble? There's no time to lose, Master Mingfu, please follow me."

Zeng Gong took Gong Mingfu out of Dafu Lingjiu Temple and headed south. Zeng Gong rode the wind and Gong Mengbi followed him.

In just a moment, they arrived at a beautiful mountain.

"here it is?"

"This is Huanghua Mountain. My patient is practicing in this mountain."

Gong Mengbi followed Zeng Gong up the mountain and saw a Buddhist temple with a plaque with the words "Lingying Temple" hung on the temple gate. When the monks waiting in front of the door saw Zeng Gong, they happily came up to greet him.

"Mr. Zeng, you are finally here. Grandfather Fox King ordered me to wait here on starry night."

Gong Mengbi took one look at him and realized that he was also a fox.

The fox led Zeng Gong and Gong Mengbi into the temple. Gong Mengbi saw that the temple was full of strange monks, mostly foxes, with a few other spirits. They were all transformed into human forms in an orderly manner, and some Zen light emanated from their bodies. They were not pretending to be monks in robes.

Interesting.

Gong Mengbi looked up and saw many palaces hidden in the middle. There were ten large halls, and the Buddhas were enshrined in the halls. The two halls in front of him alone, one enshrined the statue of the Dragon King, and the other enshrined the statue of Guanyin.

It is often too early to see any pilgrims, but the thick ash piled up in the incense burner and the smell of incense smoke coming from the temple still make people feel that Lingying Temple is very popular.

The monk led the two men to the meditation room. Two young monks serving at the door called out, "Grandpa Fox King, Zeng Gong is here."

"The one with the magic medicine is here too."

"Come in."

When the door of the Zen room opened, a middle-aged man wearing monk's robes, with a dignified face and hair tied in a monk's hat, who looked half monk and half non-monk, was seen. He was the spiritual fox king that Gong Mengbi had seen.

The fox king "looked" at Zeng Gong, and sure enough, there were no pupils in his eyes, only emptiness.

The fox king Lingying said happily: "Mr. Zeng, you are here?"

"I brought Master Mingfu with me. He is willing to exchange the Moon Laurel for the Purple Cloud Fairy Grass. Your eyes can be saved."

The expression of the Fox King Lingying suddenly changed a little. He seemed a little confused and a little bit unbelieving.

"Who? Master Mingfu?"

Zeng Gong exclaimed, "Ah!" and said with a smile, "I was in such a hurry last night that I forgot to introduce this Master Mingfu to the Fox King."

The fox king's face twitched slightly, but he still had a glimmer of hope, and said, "Master Mingfu, are you really willing to give me the moon laurel?"

A jade bottle flew in front of the Lingying Fox King. Although the Lingying Fox King was blind, his perception was still sharp. He reached out to take it, opened the bottle, and indeed, he could smell the rich moonlight.

Then a clear and penetrating young voice was heard behind Mr. Zeng: "I have already given it to you."

The Lingying Fox King's face changed drastically, and six huge long tails suddenly stretched out from behind him, lashing forward like divine whips.

With a loud bang, the entire Zen room was smashed to pieces.

The attack came suddenly and Zeng Gong was the first to bear the brunt. He only had time to summon his magic power to protect his body before being hit by the six tails.

Just when he thought he was going to be seriously injured by this blow, a soft force came from behind, pulling his clothes and pulling him out of the attack range of the six fox tails.

He walked fast, but the young monk who was accompanying him was not so lucky. He was hit by the fox's tail and exploded into pieces on the spot.

Then, in the exploded Zen room, a shadow with six tails turned into a stream of light and flew away without looking back.

Zeng Gong's heart was beating wildly, his head was buzzing, and he muttered, "How could this happen?"

Then I heard a voice behind me saying, "He is afraid of me."

He turned around and saw the young Master Mingfu with a smile on his face. He said, "Thank you, Mr. Zeng, for leading the way. Mr. Zeng, please go back to Dafu Lingjiu Temple first. I will explain to you after I capture this beast."

While the voice was still echoing in his ears, Master Mingfu had already soared into the air, turned into a long rainbow and disappeared into Huanghua Mountain.
