"The word Taoist doctor, Dao, refers to Taoism and cultivation, and medicine is medical skills. ”

Speaking of this, Yu Zehai glanced at the two of them deeply, and said lightly: "Now, you two should understand why the status of contemporary Chinese medicine is getting worse and worse, not to mention, it was even called 'feudal superstition' and 'pseudoscience' for a time, right?"

Zhou Jing said directly: "Because contemporary Chinese medicine lacks the inheritance of the 'Tao'!"

"Bingo!"

Yu Zehai snapped his fingers and said, "Congratulations, you got it right, but there is no reward." Why is it that in the old days, Chinese medicine cured all diseases, but today it is struggling? Therefore, in order to distinguish contemporary Chinese medicine from the old Chinese medicine, we habitually refer to the old Chinese medicine as 'ancient Chinese medicine'. ”

"Ancient Chinese medicine, that is, Taoist medicine. ”

"The ultimate in the development of our contemporary Chinese medicine, or the direction of development, is to trace back to the source, follow the footsteps of our predecessors and sages, and catch up, reach, or even catch up with ancient Chinese medicine. Speaking of this, Yu Zehai paused slightly, his eyes swept over the faces of the two, and said with a smile: "Old man Li, Miss Zhou Jing, you two might as well imagine what is the ultimate in the development of ancient Chinese medicine, that is, Taoist medicine?"

"The ultimate in the development of Taoist medicine?"

The two of them had broken thoughts in their mouths, and their faces were full of thought and confusion.

A pill appeared out of thin air in Yu Zehai's hand, he threw it in the palm of his hand and threw it gently, and suddenly, a rich fragrance of the pill instantly spread.

"Chirp~"

At this time, Xiao Bai in Yu Zehai's arms opened his eyes instantly, and jumped onto Yu Zehai's shoulders with a 'whoosh', two big black jewel-like eyes, staring at the pill in Yu Zehai's hand without blinking, looking extremely eager and expectant.

"Here you go, glutton!"

Yu Zehai scolded with a smile and threw the pill to the other party.

The little guy accurately took the pill into his mouth, burped contentedly, and then stretched out his pink tongue and licked Yu Zehai's cheek, then he lay comfortably on the latter's shoulder and continued to dream of Nanke.

Old Man Li's mind moved, and he couldn't help but say, "Pills? Could it be...... Cinnabar...... Elixir master?"

"That's right!"

Yu Zehai snapped his fingers again, and said with a smile: "To be precise, the development of ancient Chinese medicine to the extreme, or the development to the peak, is 'Dan Dao'." Originally, it was too early to say something to you, but since I mentioned it today, I will say a few words in passing. We are all warriors, all members of the army of cultivators, but the word 'Dao' is too broad, too large, and too general. ”

"What is 'Tao'?"

"What exactly is the 'Tao'?"

"Chaos gives birth to yin and yang, yin and yang become the five elements, and the five elements change into all things, and the way of existence and the interrelationship of all things have been pursuing a kind of 'harmony'. This is the Word. Lao Tzu once said: 'The Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things, and all things are negative to yin and embrace yang, and they are impulsive and think they are harmonious. This is also the Word. It is also said that at the beginning of the universe, chaos was broken, and three thousand avenues were born in it...... Of course, the Three Thousand Great Dao is just a general term, which means that there are many ways to practice, and there are countless methods, as long as you can attain the 'Dao', it is one of the Dao Methods. ”

"Therefore, like our martial artists practice martial arts, in addition, there are Dan Dao, instrument Dao, array Dao, etc., which are closely related to our martial artists, in addition, in fact, as we say in real life, 'three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion', which is also a form of embodiment of 'Dao'. ”

"Like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, song and dance, etc., to achieve the ultimate in each one, it is the 'Tao'. In history, such characters abound, such as the saints of calligraphy, painting, poetry, martial arts, medicine, qin, chess, etc., which are all listed here. There are three thousand avenues, and different paths lead to the same end. There are different ways of cultivating, but when you finally reach a certain height, you can actually attain the 'Dao'. ”

"Ahem...... It's a bit far, let's get back to business. ”

Yu Zehai coughed a few times dryly, and said with a smile: "Dan Dao, that is, alchemy." The ancient Chinese medicine techniques we talked about before are at best just a branch of the Dan Dao. But the Dan Dao I am talking about here, the elixir refined by the alchemist, can not only be used to cure the sick and save people, but also to kill people and set fires, and it can also be used to strengthen our bodies, enhance our cultivation, strengthen our souls, and even prolong our lives......

Speaking of this, Yu Zehai raised his hand and waved his hand, gently sent Xiaobai on his shoulder to Zhou Jing's arms, and then took a few steps back and said, "Now, let me give you two a live demonstration, so that you can have an intuitive understanding of the real 'Dan Dao'." After speaking, Yu Zehai's heart moved, and Shennong Ding and dozens of medicinal herbs appeared instantly.

"Huh, this is a bronze tripod?"

Zhou Jing's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said.

"Nonsense!"

Yu Zehai rolled his eyes and said angrily: "This is called 'Alchemy Furnace', but it is not a bronze tripod. Taishang Laojun's alchemy furnace, the alchemy furnace of the medicine king Sun Simiao, have you heard of it?"

"How to distinguish between Ding and Alchemy Furnace?"

"Ding, it is used for sacrifice in the old society. The tripod is usually four-legged and uncovered, while the alchemy furnace is usually three-legged and has a lid and one or more slots underneath the furnace. This kind of slot is used to discharge drug residues outward during alchemy. ”

Yu Zehai picked up Shennong Ding and looked at the two of them, and said, "Can you see clearly? It's clean here, there's nothing in it." As he spoke, he released a flame to ignite the alchemy furnace, then grabbed the medicinal materials that had already been sorted and sorted on the ground and threw them into the alchemy furnace one after another.

Smelting.

Purification.

Fusion.

Ning Dan.

Baking.

......

Yu Zehai showed his alchemy technique like a cloud, and said: "According to the medicinal properties and pharmacology of different medicinal materials, and then make a reasonable match, and finally refine the elixir with different effects. These pills are all created by seizing heaven and earth, what healing, detoxification, healing and saving people is only secondary, more importantly, these pills can also assist and promote the cultivation and improvement of martial artists. ”

"I know that modern human beings are very taboo about the 'alchemy' of the ancient sages, and it can even be said that they are extremely contemptuous. Because there are records in ancient books, it is said that when those ancient people were alchemizing, they would put mercury or something into the alchemy furnace, and eating that kind of pill would kill people. ”

In fact, these legends, at least in my opinion, are just rumors made up and imagined by later generations, after all, none of us have witnessed the scene with our own eyes. ”

"According to the logical thinking of our normal people, you know that the elixir you refine is for people to eat, and you know that mercury is highly poisonous, but you still put mercury into the alchemy furnace, unless he is a dumb person with a problem with his head, or rather, this alchemist intends to use these elixirs to make money and kill people, think about it, if normal people would do such stupid things? Do you think those ancestors are big fools?"

"What my grandson said makes sense!"

Old Man Li stroked his beard while shaking his head and said, "Everyone knows that mercury is highly toxic. It's like when we doctors prescribe a certain herb, we know that a certain herb is highly toxic, but we add it to the formula. In doing so, in addition to giving the patient a fierce drug to 'fight poison with poison', he will either have a grudge against the patient, or he will simply kill himself for money. ”

"That's right!"

Zhou Jing also said in a deep voice: "Contemporary people are indeed very smart under the birth of science and technology and education, but we must not ignore the wisdom of the ancients. Browsing ancient books, whether it is in all walks of life, we are almost always following the footprints of our ancestors, and even in some fields, we are not as good as our ancestors. Therefore, I think that the contemporaries have misinterpreted the meaning of the ancients. ”

"The reason why those so-called brick families and beasts give a conclusion that the elixir refined by the ancients has mercury is because most of the 'elixirs' they come into contact with are excavated from ancient tombs. Why is there mercury in these elixirs? In fact, it is easy to understand when you think of the 'figurines' that were watered with mercury in those graves. Because it is a funerary object, mercury is specially injected into it, and only in this way can it be guaranteed that it will not decay and deteriorate after being placed for tens of thousands of years. ”

"Those real elixirs, the elixirs that are really given to the living, only a fool will pour mercury into them, unless he thinks he has a long life and does not want to live. ”

"Haha~~"

Hearing Zhou Jing's words, not only Yu Zehai, but even Old Man Li couldn't help laughing.

The head of the little girl's analysis is the Tao, which is very reasonable, although this possibility has not been confirmed so far, but it is very logical.

Don't underestimate the wisdom of your ancestors!

What is it to pour mercury into the body of a living person for the sake of immortality? In order to prevent the unfilial descendants of the younger generations from robbing the graves and digging up the graves, what can be counted by arranging many vicious traps in the graves, and even poison gas explosives that exterminate human nature? Who can be sure that those elixirs that have been poured with mercury are not the huge pits dug by the ancestors for the unfilial descendants of the younger generations?

Hearing is false, but seeing is not real.

The real historical facts are not something that can be judged by the so-called brick family calling the beast. Historians archaeology, judging the past and discussing the present, is nothing more than through some historical materials, some clues or clues, to verify, explore, guess and restore the scene at that time. But all this is just speculation.

In the eyes of a thousand people, there are a thousand Hamlets.

Naturally, there will be many different versions of the same historical data and records. It stands to reason that in the end, whose speech will gain the most support and reach the general public, it is a fierce collision and contest between academics, but in a contemporary society where people are not old, who can ensure that there are no tricks in this?

A cup of tea.

Yu Zehai withdrew the Yuan Huo, and with a wave of his sleeves, at this time, in front of him, dozens of crystalline and full turquoise pills were suspended, and a whole burst of extremely rich fragrance instantly diffused to the surroundings......
