Chapter 168 Taoist Lu
During the Qing Dynasty, there was a Taoist named Lu in Guide Prefecture, Henan Province (now Shangqiu City, Henan Province). He was very powerful in Taoism and had lived for more than a hundred years. He was still in good health and snored as loudly as It's thundering.
Lu Daoren is very strange: sometimes he can go without eating anything for more than ten days, and sometimes he seems to eat a lot, and can eat five hundred eggs a day.
His yang energy is so abundant that if he blows on someone else, that person will feel as if his whole body is being burned by fire.
Someone was joking with him and put a piece of dough on his back. After a while, it was as if it was placed in a stove, and it was toasted and ready to eat.
Lu Daoren is neither afraid of cold nor heat. No matter it is winter or summer, he always wears a cloth jacket.
He has a strong body and strong legs. He can run more than three hundred miles a day.
During the Yongzheng period, the imperial court appointed Chao En (a famous official in the Qing Dynasty, known for his straightforwardness and stubbornness) as the governor of Hebei, and was ordered to build the stone dam in Zhangjiakou.
Unexpectedly, it failed and tens of thousands of taels of silver were wasted.
Wang Chao'en was so anxious about this that he couldn't eat or sleep.
At this time, Taoist Lu happened to be in Zhangjiakou. He took the initiative to find Wang Chao'en and told him: "The reason why you failed to build the stone dam is because there is a poisonous dragon causing trouble below."
Wang Chaoen asked hurriedly: "Since the Taoist priest has discovered the clue, I wonder if he can drive it away?"
Taoist Lu said: "This evil dragon has been practicing for more than two thousand years. It has boundless power and great courage. The Fushan Weir built by Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty (an earth-rock dam built on the Huaihe River at the junction of Anhui Province and Jiangsu Province during the Southern and Northern Dynasties). After existing for four months, it was washed away. However, this water conservancy project was unique in the world at the time) and finally collapsed, hurting tens of thousands of lives. It was this evil dragon's fault.
If Mr. Wang wants to build a stone dam, he needs Pindao to go down to the river in person to fight the evil dragon and drive it away before the construction can be successful.
However, Pindao is weaker than it in terms of luck, destiny, and magic power. I am afraid that I cannot drive it away by myself, and may even be injured by it! "
After Wang Chao'en heard what he said, he sighed and said, "It seems that the Taoist priest has nothing to do with it?"
Daoren Lu smiled and said: "That's not necessarily the case! If I can rely on the power of the Holy Emperor and the blessing of Lord Wang, I will definitely be able to drive away the evil dragon!"
Wang Chao'en saw the hope and asked hurriedly: "If I want to meet the Taoist Master's requirements, what do I need to do?"
Lu Daoren said: "Your Excellency, go and ask for a royal life tablet, wrap it tightly with oil paper to prevent it from getting wet by the river water, then tie it on Pindao's back, stamp it with the seal of the governor of the river, and write your name on it with your own hand." Okay, that’s it!”
Wang Chao'en made all preparations according to what Lu Daoren said, and took him to the river where the dam was being built.
Lu Daoren jumped into the water with his sword.
In an instant, a black wind blew on the water, thunder and lightning broke out in the sky, and the waves in the river surged into the sky.
It wasn't until midnight the next day that Lu Dao came ashore from the water.
He came to the Governor's Yamen of Chao En, holding a bloody sword in his hand. His whole body was covered with strange saliva, emitting an unpleasant stench.
Wang Chao'en looked at his back and became a little stooped, and asked him with concern if he was injured.
Lu Daoren said nonchalantly: "Several of Pindao's ribs were broken by the dragon's tail. But Pindao also cut off one of its arms. The arm had fallen into the water and could not be found. I only left A dragon claw, dedicated to Sir Wang. After the evil dragon was injured, he fled to the East China Sea and will not come back again! Sir, you can successfully build the stone dam tomorrow!"
When Wang Chao'en heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately arranged a banquet to reward Taoist Lu.
He wanted to ask a Mongolian doctor to set the bones of Taoist Lu, but Taoist Lu politely declined and said, "No need to bother! The poor Taoist only needs to use his true energy to recuperate, and he will recover in half a year."
The next day, Wang Chao'en quickly ordered the construction, and the stone dam was successfully completed.
The dragon claw that Lu Daoren gave Wang Chaoen to collect was as big as a buffalo horn and smelled like ambergris. When hung up, it also had the effect of driving away mosquitoes.
Taoist Lu said when chatting with others that he had a very good relationship with Li Zicheng and once helped him tie the laces of his straw sandals.
He once studied under a gentleman named Wang together with Jia Shifang (a Taoist priest who was deeply loved by Yongzheng. He was said to be a strange man who was proficient in medical skills and magic. In the end he was killed by Yongzheng.)).
Mr. Wang once commented on them and said: "Lu Taoist is a person with a will, so he will definitely succeed in the future; Jia Shifang is greedy for money and interests, and likes to be smart. He will definitely not die well in the future, but his name will also alarm the emperor."
It is said that Lord Ji Wenmin was appointed as the governor of the river and went to Beijing to meet the emperor.
His family had not received a letter from him for a long time, and they felt uneasy. They thought something had happened, so they went to Taoist Lu to ask for advice.
After reading the divination, Taoist Lu said: "Your Master Ji's eyes have been blocked by a big tree."
When the Ji family heard this, they were all shocked, thinking that Ji Wenmin had an eye disease and needed to be propped up with wooden sticks.
Soon after, Ji Wenmin was awarded the position of Dongge Bachelor by the emperor, which was equivalent to the prime minister.
When the Ji family received his letter from home, they realized that the word "mu" next to the word "mu" was the word "xiang", which meant that he wanted to be the prime minister in the court, not that his eyes were sick.
In the fourth year of Qianlong's reign, Lu Daoren arrived in the capital. The princes and nobles all knew about his abilities and all came to ask him for treatment.
Lu Taoist people are always able to get rid of diseases easily and cure them easily.
Xu Wenmu (also known as Xu Ben, also known as Liren, a native of Qiantang, Zhejiang, posthumous name Wenmu) is the sixth son of the master. He is very weak and seems to have insufficient yang energy.
Taoren Lu looked at it and said, "The young master's face is not very pale. It's not an illness, it's just a wet dream."
After saying that, he asked Mr. Xu Liu to close his eyes, take off his clothes and lie on the ground, exposing his chest. Taoren Lu held an iron needle more than a foot long and pierced Master Xu Liu's heart.
When the long needle was pulled out, blood spurted out, like a red thread.
Lu Daoren casually wiped Xu Liugong's wound with his own saliva. The onlookers were shocked, but Xu Liugong himself did not know that the illness was cured that night.
Governor Wang Mengting suffered from back pain and came to seek help from Taoist Lu.
Taoist Lu touched his waist and said, "I'll treat him when the weather clears."
When the day came, Prefect Wang came as promised.
Taoist Lu raised his hands in a bowl shape, as if catching the sunlight, and then rubbed Prefect Wang's affected area. After the heat spread into his internal organs, Prefect Wang recovered.
When people saw that Lu Daoren had lived for more than a hundred years and was still very active, they asked him for guidance on health preservation.
Taoist Lu refused to say anything.
So, those who were interested secretly asked the Taoist boys who followed Taoist Lu.
The Taoist boy said: "The Taoist master has never taught me, but I have seen him practicing, and it is actually nothing special!
The Taoist priest goes to the wilderness every morning. When the sun just rises, the Taoist priest faces the sun, makes a tiger-leap-like movement, then uses his hand to wave the sunlight into his mouth, sucks and swallows it, and repeats this over and over again! "
