Chapter 297 Barefoot Doctor's Manual
Upon learning that Bai Suzhen was about to ascend to heaven, Cheng Long was stunned at first, but then his brows lit up with joy and he said excitedly: "It's good to ascend to heaven. From now on, my wife will be a real fairy."

"Sir, from now on, you will be the only one to worry about Baoan Hall."

Bai Suzhen looked at the man with a smile on her face. She never worried about the separation between them forever, because her husband had already been listed in the immortal class and was granted the third-rank immortal title.

If your magic power cannot keep up, it’s okay to call yourself an immortal!
"I will close the clinic later."

Cheng Long is not very interested in the merits of curing diseases and saving lives. He thinks small things are too much of a bother. If he hadn't wanted to share the burden with his wife over the years, he would not have gone to see patients at all.

"That won't do. Bao'an Hall is a clinic founded by you and me. How can we just close it down?"

Bai Suzhen has a deep affection for the clinic that helped her achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven. If the official is unwilling to see patients, it's okay, she can just recruit a doctor to do the seeing.

Or he could recruit a few disciples and pass the clinic down from generation to generation.

Just do it.

Bai Suzhen posted a notice recruiting apprentices at the door that day.

Originally, she only wanted to select a few talented disciples, but unexpectedly, more than a dozen good candidates came the next day. Considering that the official was not short of money, teaching one was the same as teaching a group, so she simply accepted them all.

That’s not all. In the following month, many smart people emerged from her.

One day when thirty-three apprentices were admitted based on merit, Bai Suzhen, who was working in the clinic, suddenly began to shine with white light, like the compassionate and merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering.

Then, a golden light suddenly shot down from the sky and covered Bai Suzhen.

"Sir, Xiaoqing and the clinic are now in your care. Remember to take time to visit me in heaven."

Feeling her body gradually transforming into an immortal, Bai Suzhen knew that she had achieved enlightenment and needed to report to the Heavenly Palace immediately. So she hurriedly left these words and allowed herself to be drawn by the golden light to ascend to heaven in broad daylight.

This magical scene was seen by many people.

The story of White Snake ascending to heaven spread quickly in Qiantang, and even spread throughout the country in just a few months, astonishing the world.

Only Cheng Long was left looking at the 33 half-grown children in the clinic with a confused look on their faces.

Xiaobai left such a mess behind, isn't he just trying to make trouble for himself?
I’m afraid we’ll all have a hard time in the next few years!
"That snake demon actually ascended into heaven in broad daylight!"

Fahai, who had been troubled by his inner demons for several years, felt very upset when he heard the news that Bai Suzhen had ascended to heaven.

Thinking that a snake demon could actually ascend to the fairyland, while his own cultivation level was stuck at the peak of the Yin Shen Realm and there was even a risk of regressing, he felt more and more upset.

At this time, Xu Xian supported his five-month pregnant wife into Jinshan Temple to worship the Buddha. Fahai, who was extremely mentally unbalanced, actually exposed Xu Xian's wife's identity as a pig demon on the spot.

However, the fact that this female demon was chosen by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to be the replacement for Bai Suzhen must have been due to her extraordinary qualities. With more than 1200 years of Taoist practice and the inheritance left by Mazu, Fahai was unable to do anything to her.

But when Fahai went to the house for the second time and used some tricks, the female demon was accidentally hit by the Daluo curse and revealed her hideous and terrifying wild boar form.

The love between a human and a demon, which is not tolerated by the secular world, begins here, and Xu Xian is frightened to death.

From his bulging eyes after death, it can be seen that he could not believe until his death that his plump and beautiful wife was actually a giant wild boar with protruding fangs and a body covered with bristles...

……

The words are divided into two parts.

Fahai gradually got back on track and had a big fight with Xu Xian's wife.

Cheng Long also lived a boring life of teaching and educating people and helping the suffering. Fortunately, after Xiaobai ascended to heaven, Xiaoqing gradually became sensible. Not only did she stop playing, she also took on many trivial matters at home and outside the house responsibly, and her practice became more diligent.

Well, what we are cultivating is the harmony of dragon and phoenix!

At night, Xiaoqing would rush to pounce on Cheng Long, and their skills would grow rapidly.

With the support of Lishan Laomu, Bai Suzhen was recorded in the immortal book as soon as she ascended to heaven. Then she was taken back to Mount Li by Lishan Laomu to practice diligently. Every year she could only return to the human world for one month when she ascended to heaven and live together with Cheng Long.

After ascending to heaven, Bai Suzhen lost her freedom!

This is the case when there is a backer. Without a backer, I guess they would be reduced to the same fate as Chang'e, and be reduced to a member of the Heavenly Palace Song and Dance Troupe, where they would be summoned out to sing and dance at any time.

Ascension is sometimes not necessarily a good thing.

Especially the little demon with no background.

That day, Xiaoqing, who was bored at home, followed Cheng Long to Bao'an Hall. Seeing the man took out a pen and paper again, she couldn't help but ask, "Brother-in-law, you have been writing books during your free time. What are you writing?"

"The barefoot doctor's manual, once written, will surely do great good."

Cheng Long wrote the barefoot doctor's manual, which was a clever idea he came up with when he was teaching apprentices in the clinic. People have different talents. Medical books such as "Qian Jin Fang", "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Shennong's Herbal Classic" are relatively advanced, and it is difficult for ordinary people to fully understand them. However, the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" records very comprehensive basic medical knowledge in a very straightforward manner.

Barefoot doctors cannot treat difficult and complicated diseases, but they can provide timely treatment for colds, diarrhea, fractures, fever, and childbirth.

Sometimes simply stopping bleeding and treating wounds can save a life.

Therefore, the barefoot doctor's manual is also known as the medical work that saves the most lives.

"Immeasurable merit?"

Xiao Qing was stunned and said, "Brother-in-law, you have already cultivated the Golden Wheel of Merit, why are you still thinking about merit?"

“Who would complain about having too much merit?”

Cheng Long rubbed Xiaoqing's cheek affectionately, and then said: "I will give you a few prescriptions later, and you write them. When the medical book is compiled, I will add your and Xiaobai's names to the book, so that you can also benefit from my fame."

"Uh~~Brother-in-law, this is not good! I don't know any medical skills."

Xiaoqing was still quite proud. She knew she didn't have the ability to write a book to pass on to future generations, so she didn't dare to accept her brother-in-law's kindness from the bottom of her heart.

"What are you afraid of? Once the book is finished, you can memorize it a few times. It will be fine if it can heal minor injuries and pains."

What Cheng Long is mainly worried about is not Xiaobai, but the carefree Xiaoqing. This girl has no background, and once she leaves this world, she can only rely on her sister Bai Suzhen.

But after all, she was not a disciple of Lishan Laomu, so she could not stay in Mount Li to practice.

Xiaobai may not be able to protect her completely, but his good deeds can help.

Once the barefoot doctor manual is published, it is destined to bring immeasurable merits. Even if Xiaoqing only gets a share of it, she can slowly accumulate great merits.

Cheng Long also took great pains to ensure his sister-in-law's personal safety.

By the time the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" was completed, it was already the fifth year since Bai Suzhen ascended to heaven.

"God bless you, I have worked so hard for ten years and finally developed an antibiotic. I have also written a book called 'The Barefoot Doctor's Manual'..."

In the tenth year since Cheng Long entered the Green Snake world, when the Peach Conference was about to be held, he took out the barefoot doctor's manual he had written and the antibiotics he had developed using simple tools, and made a great wish to Tiandao to promote medical skills and antibiotics.

Antibiotics, a barefoot doctor's manual!

Either one alone can bring immense merit, and when the two are combined into one, they directly cause a shock to the three realms.

"Buzz!" A huge ball of golden light of merit fell from the sky, eighty percent of it fell on Cheng Long's head, and the other two parts were divided into two parts and fell on Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing's heads respectively.

Although it was 20% less, with the addition of eighty percent of merit, the golden wheel of merit behind Cheng Long's head increased by more than one finger in width, and the golden light became even more dazzling.

The obvious merits made many powerful people envious.

……

Lishan.

The goddesses including Lishan Laomu, Fan Lihua, Zhong Wuyan, Mu Guiying, etc., looked at Bai Suzhen, who had received a merit and whose cultivation level soared directly from the middle stage of Earthly Immortal to the early stage of True Immortal, with surprised eyes.

Mu Guiying, who had the best relationship with Bai Suzhen, was dumbfounded and asked, "Junior Sister, what happened to that merit just now?"

"I also helped with the barefoot doctor manual that the official wrote in recent years. Although this medical book is simple and straightforward, it can help many people master basic medical knowledge and save thousands of people, so I also got a little bit of merit..."

At this point, Bai Suzhen lowered her head shyly and said awkwardly: "In fact, Xiaoqing and I didn't help much, but the official insisted on adding my name and Xiaoqing's name to the medical book. I am also helpless!"

Zhong Wuyan: “…”

Fan Lihua: “…”

Mu Guiying and others: "..."

Are you sure you're feeling helpless, and not just showing off?
Your man is willing to share even great merits. Where can you find such a good man?

Compared with Cheng Long, their former husbands, King Xuan of Qi, Xue Dingshan, Gao Junbao and others, were completely dwarfed by the comparison.

What a bully!
……

South China Sea.

In the Purple Bamboo Forest, Guanyin Bodhisattva, who was sitting on the lotus platform, felt the commotion caused by her master and murmured, "This guy can easily make such a big commotion. No wonder he can cultivate the Golden Wheel of Merit. Even Xiaoqing's cultivation has soared from the Yin God Realm to the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm."

With the same amount of merit, Xiaobai's cultivation level skyrocketed to the early stage of True Immortal, while Xiaoqing could only stay at the peak of Heavenly Immortal. This only shows that Bai Suzhen, who has been practicing for a thousand years, has much higher foundation than Xiaoqing, who has been practicing for five hundred years.

Of course.

Now those hundreds of years of foundation are no longer important.

After all, both women have become immortals.

The Bodhisattva could make up for that little bit of talent by giving them some mango nectar, not to mention that the Peach Festival was coming soon. Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, who had done great deeds, would definitely be able to get a piece of peach from Cheng Long.

But before that, Cheng Long and Xiao Qing had to quickly spread the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" and antibiotics, namely the earliest penicillin.

At this time, the thirty-three disciples that Bai Suzhen accepted before her ascension were of great help.

Cheng Long directly arranged thirty people to take the "Barefoot Doctor Manual" and penicillin to various parts of China to train barefoot doctors in order to fulfill his promise to Tiandao.

Fahai, who is still fighting against his inner demons, receives the news that Cheng Long has gained enormous merits by writing a medical book and creating the world. His Buddhist heart almost collapses.

All along, he didn't quite understand how Cheng Long, a magic cultivator, could cultivate the Golden Wheel of Merit. Now he understood the effect of penicillin and how much help the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" had in popularizing basic medicine for the people. Only then did he realize that the Golden Wheel of Merit behind Cheng Long's head was all gained by saving the world, without any falsehood.

However, the main reason that almost caused his Buddhist faith to collapse was that the snake demons Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, whom he looked down upon and once wanted to kill, achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven one after another.

At the beginning, his cultivation was far higher than Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, but now he is trampled under the feet of the two women.

"Could it be... that I was really wrong?" Looking in the direction of Cheng Mansion, Fahai was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he sighed and admitted that he had let go of all his mistakes. The inner demons that had troubled him for many years disappeared.

A faint golden light began to flicker from his body.

But the guiding Buddha's light did not fall yet.

"I have already achieved great enlightenment, why can't I ascend?"

Fahai, whose whole body was shining with golden light, had clearly felt the improvement of his realm. Logically speaking, he could have ascended to the West and attained the status of Arhat.

But the Buddha's light from the sky was still not able to shine down to guide us.

This made him very angry and he felt like the whole world was against him.

At this moment, the long-browed arhat who had secretly taken care of him for many years appeared and said, "Fahai, Xu Xian's fate is over. If you force him to convert to Buddhism for your own selfish reasons, it will only backfire. You should send him back to reunite with his wife and children."

"Yes, Long-browed Arhat."

Fahai finally understood why he could not ascend to heaven after he had achieved enlightenment. It turned out that he had forcibly brought Xu Xian, who had come back from the dead, to Jinshan Temple to be ordained three years ago.

Xu Xian's wife was pregnant at the time and did not dare to break into Jinshan Temple. After giving birth, she was afraid that something would happen to her and no one would take care of the child, so she kept delaying the idea of ​​breaking into the mountain gate to rescue her husband.

"Squeak!"

Fahai opened a door and looked at Xu Xian, who was wearing monk's robes, holding Buddhist beads, and chanting Buddhist scriptures attentively. He said, "Xu Xian, you can go now!"

"Host, where do you want me to go?" Xu Xian looked puzzled.

"Go down the mountain and reunite with your wife and children. I was wrong all these years. I shouldn't have..."

Before Fahai could finish his words, Xu Xian interrupted him with a look of horror: "No, Master, you are right. It was you who saved me from the sea of ​​suffering and gave me the opportunity to serve the Buddha. I am happy to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures. I am very willing to spend the rest of my life in the temple."

"..."

Fahai was completely confused.

Shouldn't Xu Xian, who had been imprisoned by himself for three years, be ecstatic when he was released?
Why did this guy look so terrified when he heard about going down the mountain to see his wife and children?
“Xu Xian, your earthly ties have not yet been fulfilled. Now is not a good time to serve the Buddha. Please go down the mountain!” Fahai did not understand why Xu Xian was unwilling to go down the mountain, but it no longer mattered.

Now he only needs to drive Xu Xian out of Jinshan Temple and send him back to Qiantang County to reunite with his wife and children, then he can ascend to the West and attain the status of Arhat.

"No, I have no distracting thoughts now. I have let go of all worldly ties three years ago."

Xu Xian shook his head repeatedly and refused to go back no matter what.

Thinking of his wife's huge beastly body with protruding fangs and covered with pig bristles, he felt that it was not bad to be a vegetarian and chant Buddhist scriptures. As for women? As early as the moment he was frightened to death three years ago, he had completely cut off all thoughts of them and could not even think of them.

"..."

Fahai was stunned for a long time when he saw Xu Xian's face full of fear and unwilling to go back no matter what. Then he rushed forward and grabbed Xu Xian's collar, and said angrily: "Xu Xian, I said that your earthly ties will not end because of you. I don't care what you think, but what I think!"

"Today, even if you don't want to go down the mountain, you have to get off the mountain now!"

"It doesn't matter what you say!"

"..."

Xu Xian was so frightened that his face turned pale.
