In ancient times, a complete traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, in addition to the techniques of seeing, hearing, asking, and cutting, must also be able to dig and collect medicines, as well as concoct and process medicinal materials.

This requires that Chinese medicine is an all-rounder, and can do anything, in fact, this is not conducive to the inheritance and promotion of Chinese medicine, after all, people's energy is limited, and modern medicine is correct to divide various subjects.

However, at this time, Dao Heng wanted his apprentices to start learning from picking herbs, and let them learn knowledge comprehensively and systematically, so that they could have a deeper understanding of the medicinal properties of herbs, otherwise they could buy a lot of these ordinary herbs for a little money, why should they be so tired.

The tropical rainforest area is extremely dangerous, there are a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants, but fortunately, the whole team is either a doctor with excellent medical skills or a bodyguard with super experience in wild survival, and the general small problems are really difficult for us, with the medicinal powder prepared by Daoheng, the general insects dare not approach us.

But the whole team is still tired, I don't need to say, carrying hundreds of pounds of things, it's like my old life, my shoulders are worn out, the whole life is better than death, this is still the reason for my physical perversion, otherwise others would have been tired and lay down.

Dao Heng and his apprentices have a relatively small weight, but their physical fitness is poor, they are all a group of otaku who play with technology, where can they withstand such a thing, it is said that the physical fitness of the three left behind is even worse, if they come, it is estimated that they will not be able to walk for a long time.

The easiest thing is those bodyguards, they were originally soldiers, and they were also the top people in the army before, and they have a strong ability to survive in the wild, and now they are basically helping Dao Heng and them, otherwise they will have to fall behind.

"It's not okay to be old, the age is up, no matter how well you maintain it, no matter how powerful your health care is, you are still an old man, and you can't bear it."

When camping at night, Dao Heng hammered his leg and said, this is only the first day, he is about to give up, he is too tired.

"Uncle Shi, it seems that the treasure holder is not fun in this business, right?"

"You kid still have time to laugh at me, take care of your wounds, don't get infected"

Dao Heng threw a small bottle over, I wiped it on the hole on my shoulder, and suddenly there was a sourness, almost making me cry, dead old man, it must be on purpose.

"Master, what to do with these medicinal herbs, some of them can't be handled"

"If you can't deal with it, throw it away, this time I didn't really bring you here to collect medicine, practice is the first, don't put the cart before the horse"

"Okay, I got it"

Several apprentices began to be busy dealing with those medicinal materials again, dealing with those who could be handled, and those that could not be dealt with could only be thrown away, or they could only be thrown away when they lost their medicinal properties when they returned.

Soon, the bonfire was lit, and a few bodyguards began to get food, this time we brought a lot of supplies, and Dao Heng estimated that we would have to spend a lot of time in this primeval forest.

A group of people are eating wolf, during the day because of hiking, everyone is tired and can't eat, only then can you eat a meal, overeating is not conducive to health, but now no one mentions this, just want to eat more, and then recover more physical strength.

After eating, a few bodyguards went to arrange defensive measures again, Dao Heng brought a lot of insect repellent powder, and sprinkled it around the camp to ensure that no insects would harass us, but this could not stop the large beasts, so there must be certain defensive measures.

The bodyguards' approach is very simple, they bring a bell with a rope, and circulate it around, which is the outermost warning, if there is a fierce beast passing by, it will ring, and they also have a way, the most important thing is that they will take turns to keep vigil at night.

When the body is overtired, some people will immediately fall asleep, which is the body's self-protection function, while others will toss and turn, making it more difficult to fall asleep.

Several of Dao Heng's apprentices were like this, so they chatted with Dao Heng again, occasionally taking the opportunity to ask a few questions, and let Dao Heng open a small stove, and I was also listening on the side.

The long night was long, we started to talk at night, it felt like a long time, but when I saw that the time had only passed two hours, several people chatted more and more energetically, and the topic did not know how many times it deviated, and finally chatted about a very interesting topic, that is, Zhu You.

Zhu You is also called Zhu Youke, Zhu You Thirteen Branches, forbidden spells, etc., this is a very mysterious means of healing, in the hands of Zhu Youke, herbal treatment is an auxiliary, communication with the gods, and the diagnosis by the gods is his main means, very magical.

Zhu Youke is an indispensable part of traditional Chinese medicine, and it is also the main target of modern medical criticism of Chinese medicine, because its methods seem to be very unreliable, so Zhu Youke is often combined with shamans and called Wu Zhu.

Zhu Youke is also a mysterious anomaly, and the real inheritance has long been broken, even some big witches are only a little bit of Zhu You's skin, but Zhu You's methods are widely spread, and even today they are often seen.

In some places in the south, the legend of Mi Po has always been circulated, and it is also the most common means of blessing, even in Qinghe Town, I have seen people use it.

A few years ago, there was a family in Qinghe Town, their daughter married far away, and the daughter later gave birth to a child, and when the child was seven or eight months old, she went back to her parents' house to live for a while, but on the first night of her return, the child had a high fever, no matter what medicine was used, it was useless to go to the health center in the town, and the fever could not be reduced by taking medicine and hanging bottles.

Later, one of his neighbors knew a little about Taoism, and knew that it was not an ordinary fever, maybe it was an invasion of evil energy, so he told the family about Mi Po, and the family suddenly realized and remembered.

I don't really understand how they did it, anyway, they took some rice, sprinkled it in front of the stove king, and after chanting for a while, they tore off the statue of the stove king and burned it, and fed the water to the child to drink, and the high fever subsided after an hour (this is a real example, but please do not imitate it).

Later, I heard about this and asked Liu Laodao, Liu Laodao said that this is some of Zhu Youke's methods, but it is just a small Dao's ear, nothing unusual, there are other means in the Dao Gate to solve it, and I didn't tell me the specifics.

In addition, there are some methods such as burning eggs, and each place has its own characteristics, but without exception, these are very mysterious things, and there is no guarantee of success.

Talking about Zhu Youke tonight, I guess it's still some doubts about Daoheng's apprentices about the treasure book, those heavenly and earth treasures, do they really exist, are they really that magical?

So they need Dao Heng to explain to them, because Dao Heng is one of the few people in the world today who has received a complete Chinese medicine inheritance, if he doesn't understand it, then maybe not many people in this world can understand it.

"Zhu Yuko, there is, but I'm not going to teach you"

"Why"

Dao Heng's words shocked several apprentices, Dao Heng taught them with all his might, why couldn't they do it.

"Because of the taboo, Zhu You also has a strong taboo, not everyone can learn, people who don't have this life to learn, will only let themselves die first, you are all talents, modern medical technology is thriving, it has been able to solve most of the diseases, there is no need to go this way"

"But Master, I said in the ancient book that Zhu You has always been an inseparable part of Chinese medicine, this..."

"The book is the book, the book is never the same as the real one, I don't have to lie to you, you can learn some small tricks of Zhu You, but the system of Zhu Youke, don't use... Liu Jinyang, what are you laughing at?"

"Ahem, nothing"

"Speak, or I'll throw you out today to feed the wolves"

"That's what you asked me to say, okay, then I'll say it, Uncle Shi, in fact, you haven't learned all of Zhu Youke."

"Ahem..."

As soon as I said it, Dao Heng coughed suddenly, he couldn't hold face on his face, and glared at me several times, I am innocent, you asked me to say it, the reason why I laugh is because Liu Laodao is also this virtue, and if he can't do it, he will make up reasons for me, what taboos and what is inconvenient, but he refuses to directly admit that he won't.

"Don't listen to this little rabbit cub's nonsense, he knows a fart, Master, I really didn't accept this inheritance, but it doesn't mean that I won't, just like the blind man who came last year, learn to massage that, Master, will I massage, no, but I can still be his master"

"Explanation is disguise"

"Roll"

"Don't get out, Uncle Shi, you tell them like this, they don't understand, and they think you're hiding it privately, or I'll tell you, cough cough, it's time to tell the story."

I laughed and said, this kind of thing is still more powerful than Liu Laodao, and replace what doesn't make sense with stories, so it's interesting.

"Senior brother, we are not like that"

"That's it, Brother Liu, it's not interesting for you to say that"

"Okay, I started to say, this is the story that my master told me, for decades, my master has met two families in Hubei, they live next to each other, and both families have a unique skill, I will distinguish them by A and B, A has a unique ability to turn dragon water, do you know what is dragon water, okay, you don't know, fish bones stuck in the throat know, fish bones stuck in the throat, the traditional way is to swallow rice balls, don't interrupt, I know that these soil methods are not reliable, the most reliable is to go to the hospital to find a doctor to clip out.

But you don't want to think about it, how could there be such a medical condition a few decades ago, this unique skill of turning dragon water, there is no need to be so troublesome at all, as long as he shakes in front of you twice, the fish bones will be gone, don't ask me why I didn't have it, it's gone anyway.

No matter what kind of poisonous snake you are, bamboo leaf green, cobra, seven-step snake or something, as long as you eat his snake medicine, you will not die, the key is that the prescription of the snake medicine he prepared is extremely simple, and it is a herb that can be obtained in the countryside.

But that's not the point, the point is that after they die, their skills will be lost, whether it's dragon water or snake medicine, their descendants will try exactly the same according to their model, but it won't work at all, you say it's magical."

I casually told a little story, several people listened to it with wide eyes, some people flashed disdain in their eyes, and some people fell into deep thought, Dao Heng didn't say a word, just silently observed the reactions of several apprentices.
