Chapter 103 Eye Drops

Pan Yun was obsessed with the art of observing qi and concealing the qi. At the end of the day, his hands were almost cramped from making gestures all the time.

But in the end, my hands didn't cramp, but my eyes did.

After the cramp, everything in front of his eyes became blurry, as if his vision had dropped from 5.0 to 2.0. Pan Jun was completely stunned.

She was unwilling to admit that this was caused by her bad luck, so she stumbled to find Xuan Miao, "Fourth Senior Sister, the spell you taught me has side effects. I can't see anymore."

Xuanmiao took only one look and then went to Tao Ji to get a porcelain bottle, and dripped two drops of water into her eyes. It was clear and cool, just like a piece of ice crystal falling into calm and waveless warm water. The temperature dropped rapidly, and as the water rippled, all the filth on the lake was washed away.

Xuanmiao: "Close your eyes and roll your eyeballs around. Open them after thirty breaths."

Pan Yun did as he was told. After thirty breaths, he opened his eyes and everything in front of him was bright again.

She was excited and asked, "Senior Sister, what is this?"

"Eye drops," Xuan Miao handed her a bottle, "your senior brother prepared it for your nephew."

Pan Yun curiously unplugged the bottle and smelled it, but there was no smell at all. "Is our nephew's eyesight bad?"

"It's still good now, but it won't be so after a while, so you have to prepare in advance." Xuanmiao said, "Take this bottle. If you get eye fatigue when practicing magic, just drop a few drops. It's very effective."

Pan Yun: "This eye drops is so effective. How do you make it?"

Xuanmiao: "It's steamed. If you want to learn, go find the senior brother. He will be happy to teach you."

Of course Wang Feiyin was happy to teach, as he was worried about not being able to find help.

Seeing Pan Yun holding a cat and looking out the door, he stretched out his hand to invite her in and asked, "You lent out three hundred taels, aren't you in trouble now?"

Pan Yun felt it carefully and nodded, "I didn't have diarrhea today, nor did I fall."

"Then you are not unlucky. How much money do you have now?"

Pan Yun held up two fingers and said, "Two hundred and twenty taels."

Wang Feiyin frowned, very puzzled. "Why is the amount of money you have saved increasing? Is it that the rules discriminate between you and me? The older you get, the more money you can save, but I am unlucky whenever I have money in my hands?"

Pan Yun was very curious, "Big Brother, how much money do you have before you get into bad luck?"

"Twelve taels."

Pan Yun: "It's pretty much the same as when I started."

She told Wang Feiyin about her discovery, "The reason why my fortune has increased is because I have done good deeds and accumulated merits. The more merits you have, the luckier you are. This is recognized by the rules. Big Brother, you should do more good deeds."

Wang Feiyin raised his eyebrows, "Accumulating virtue~ That means accumulating popularity. If that's the case, I should have changed. I haven't dared to go beyond the line for so many years, I will try it later."

The money is ready, just ask his son directly.

Wang Feiyin made up his mind and asked Pan Yun to work quickly, "Come on, help me light the fire."

The eye drops made by Wang Feiyin are made of distilled water from steamed medicinal materials. They are dripped into a large porcelain bottle from a pipe and then divided into small bottles after cooling.

Not only can it be dropped into the eyes, but it can also be used to wash the eyes. It is very effective to use it before going to bed.

Wang Feiyin said: "After reading for a whole day, my eyes are sore and blurry. First use this medicine to clean my eyes, then drop a drop into each eye before going to sleep. Not only will you sleep better, but your eyes will also be restored to their original state when you wake up."

"Otherwise, if you develop myopia, you will have to be blind or wear a magnifying glass to carry around with you."

Pan Yun couldn't help but sigh, "It would have been great if I had this good thing when I was studying. Myopia is irreversible even with magic."

Wang Feiyin: "This eye drops is only for prevention and relief, and the recovery is also very low. If you want to recover from myopia, you have to use acupuncture. Although magic can't restore vision, it can effectively restore vision by stimulating acupuncture points with Yuanli during practice."

Pan Jun's eyes lit up, "Really?"

"Really?" Wang Feiyin said, "Just light the fire and watch the fire. I will teach you later. First, I will teach you how to steam the eye drops, and then I will teach you the method of acupuncture."

Wang Feiyin was generous with his advice. He wished that all the children in the Taoist temple were omnipotent and knew everything, so that he would not have to do anything and could concentrate on his practice.

So he was willing to teach them anything they wanted to learn.

Pan Yun spent an hour steaming the eye drops.

It's not difficult at all. The ratio is here. Wash the stone cassia seed, antelope horn and other medicinal materials, blanch them in boiling water. Be quick, pick them up immediately, drain them, wrap them in gauze and steam them in a steamer.

The steamer is specially made, divided into two parts. The boiling water vapor on the left side enters the right side, steaming out the medicinal vapor and entering the middle layer. After condensing into water droplets, it falls on the middle layer, and then steams into water vapor again and enters the third layer before sliding down and entering the large porcelain bottle.

This steamer was also invented by Wang Feiyin.

"I originally used it to steam ointments, but as I was steaming, I thought this steamer was good, so I modified it a bit and used it to steam medicinal liquids." Wang Feiyin whispered, "In addition to steaming eye drops, it can also be used to steam poison."

Pan Yun was startled and began to feel pain in his eyes. He asked tremblingly, "Master, Senior Brother, has this medicine basket been used to steam poison?"

"You are stupid. Even if I am short of money, I can afford a second steamer. I can use the same steamer for the poison and the eye drops. That one is for the poison."

Pan Yun turned his head and saw a large shelf in the corner next to the alchemy furnace, with a set of steamers on it.

Pan Yun breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good." "Brother, what kind of poison do you usually steam?"

Wang Feiyin: "There are many. Some will have their intestines and stomachs pierced, some will die within three steps, and some will burn their brains and turn people into fools."

Pan Jun looked at him differently, "Big Brother, who are you going to give these poisons to?"

"Give it to the demons, so that your brothers, sisters and nephews can use it for self-defense," Wang Feiyin said, "If you can't beat them, just give them drugs. If you don't have enough skills, you can use poison. This is the only way."

Pan Yun: "Are there many demons in this world?"

"Not many, but if you practice Taoism, you will always encounter them."

Pan Jun: "If there are few, the probability should be very small, why do we have to encounter it?"

"Because you know Taoism," Wang Feiyin said, "Police officers always encounter injustices, and coroners always see corpses. This is also a rule."

"Is it because of job duties?"

Wang Feiyin: "You are a Taoist priest, and a Taoist priest who knows Taoist magic. It is your natural duty to exorcise demons and monsters."

Pan Jun thought, "Is that so?"

Wang Feiyin taught her how to control the fire, "You can't use a high fire or a low fire to make this eyedrop."

"A low fire won't evaporate it. A high fire, although there is water to release it slowly, will still cause the heat of the medicine to surge up, ruining its efficacy." Wang Feiyin said, "You know, fire is also a medicinal ingredient, and so is the material used in the steamer."

"From this, the same is true for our alchemy. Fire is important, and the alchemy furnace is also important." Wang Feiyin said: "A good alchemy furnace, suitable fire, the chance of successful alchemy is greater, and the effect of the medicine is better."

Pan Yun wrote them down one by one.

After the autumn harvest, the entire Sanqing Mountain entered the learning season. Wang Cong immersed himself in practice and study. He has decided to go to Guangxin Prefecture for the exam next June.

He has only this one chance. If he misses it and takes the exam again, he will be punished.

Wang Cong didn't want to be beaten at all, so he got up before dawn every day, did morning lessons, practiced martial arts, and practiced cultivation. After dawn, he started reading, took a break at noon, gave them half an hour of lessons in the afternoon, and then continued to study on his own.

That’s right, in addition to being busy with his own exams, the eldest nephew also has to teach them to read.

The main subjects of study were the classics, history, and miscellaneous works. He did not teach like the teachers down the mountain, who started with the Three Character Classic and the Analects. Instead, he taught them the Records of the Grand Historian and said, "We are not going to take the imperial examinations, so there is no need to read the Three Books and Five Classics of Confucianism step by step."

He said: "We need to know where we came from, so we need to study history."

To study history, start with the simplest "Records of the Grand Historian".

Yes, the master's nephew thought that "Records of the Grand Historian" was the simplest history book, and he also said, "Don't believe it completely. Just read it briefly to know what history is generally believed by scholars. If you want to understand the real history, you have to study it."

Pan Yun felt sorry for him, so he turned around and asked Tao Ji, who was relatively free, "Third Senior Brother, can't you teach us on behalf of our nephew?"

Tao Ji said: "Me? Don't you know that this is what he uses to relax? Junior Sister, you are too cruel. Your senior nephew can only rest for half an hour a day."

Pan Jun was extremely surprised, "Is this relaxation?"

"Yes, go and see what he is reading now. Telling you about the "Records of the Grand Historian" is as simple as telling you a story before going to bed. How can it not be relaxing?"

Tao Ji pointed at Tao Yanbai, who had a bitter look on his face, and said, "Do you know why he can only learn some superficial medical skills? When he goes down the mountain to become a doctor in the future, can't we practice Taoism together?"

Pan Yun: “Why?”

"Because he had to read the Records of the Grand Historian carefully to understand it."

Pan Yun was silent.

Tao Ji: "Is it hard for you to read the Records of the Grand Historian?"

Pan Yun was tired, "It's just listening to a story, why is it so hard?"

"Yeah, it's just listening to a story, what's so hard about it?" Tao Ji looked at Tao Yanbai.

Tao Yanbai was about to cry, "Third Uncle Master..."

Tao Ji snorted, "After the new year, you will still have to study the Spring and Autumn Annals, the Book of Changes, and the Zizhi Tongjian. It will be even more difficult."

Pan Yun: "Is the Zizhi Tongjian more difficult than the Shiji?"

Tao Ji said meaningfully: "Although both are stories, the stories in Zizhi Tongjian are later than those in Shiji. What later generations do after seeing the paths their predecessors have taken is much richer than what happened to their predecessors. You have to understand the competition hidden behind the stories and read the real stories, which is difficult."

Pan Yun was silent.

Tao Ji patted Pan Yun on the shoulder and said, "It's not easy, right? But to cultivate the Tao, you need to see the essence, the essence of people, the essence of things, the essence of this world, and the essence of the universe."

"The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name. The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth; the named is the mother of all things. We spend our entire lives thinking about these two sentences, and the five thousand articles after the Tao Te Ching are all about elaborating on this truth."

Tao Ji stood up, clapped his hands and said, "Anyway, I have been thinking about it for so many years and haven't figured out anything useful. I can only rely on you."
