Hu Tao Ren - Who told Ren?
Who told Ren that eating peaches on his powdered
toast would tonify his KD essence and make his back
and knees stronger? It was powdered toast man of course! Apparently
Powdered Toast man also told Ren that it was cool to smoke
pipe weed and grasp his KD qi like
Michael Jackson.
But Ren wasn't careful and smoked too much pipe weed and ate too many
peaches. As a result he got sleepless nights (cc:
yin deficienct heat), (cc: phlegm-heat cough)
and (cc: loose stools)
