Chapter 117: The Illness of Ghost Chong
Hua Tianyu didn't expect Qi Zilin to ask him for help, what he just said was based on the essence of Taoism recorded by Master Ge Hong in "Bao Puzi: The Inner Chapter", combined with modern science and discussed the relationship between Chinese medicine and Taoist scholarship.
Ge Hong was the leader of Taoism in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and made outstanding contributions to the development of Taoism in later generations. At the same time, he is also a medical master, and his ranking among the top ten famous doctors in ancient times is also very high.
His academic ideas and medical monographs had a profound impact on later generations, and the "Hug Puzi" in Hua Tianyu's mind has 36 inner chapters and 72 outer chapters, totaling 108 articles.
"Bao Puzi: The Outer Chapter" records a large number of medical techniques and prescriptions, including the handed down "Behind the Elbow", "Saving the Pawn Fang", "Yuhan Fang" and other Ge Hong's medical monographs, which are more complete than Ge Hong's writings.
In the inner part of the miscellaneous volume, Ge Hong expounded in great detail the techniques of Bigu, cold, heat, taking medicine, removing the five soldiers, swallowing qi, concealment, removing disease, summoning spirits, riding the mountain, divination, strengthening teeth, changing, guiding, deafness, clear eyes, ascending, dispelling epidemics, contemplation, talismans, and spells.
Hua Tianyu also took a serious look at this knowledge during this time. Ge Hong learned to be rich and rich, and he couldn't digest it in a short time when he got "Hug Puzi".
But taking it out of context and borrowing it temporarily, Hua Tianyu can still do it, but if he wants to be proficient, he can't be proficient without a certain amount of time to digest it.
Qi Zilin begged him to treat the child in this area, Hua Tianyu didn't know the condition and didn't dare to agree casually, he was self-aware, if he had mastered "Hug Puzi" now, it would be no problem, but in his current situation, he didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to cure the child.
He said to Qi Zilin: "It is the doctor's duty to treat the disease and save people, but before seeing the patient, the patient's condition has not been determined, and I dare not guarantee anything, can you briefly introduce the child's condition?"
Qi Zilin said: "That child is my godson, and his mother, you should have heard of it, is Zheng Xiyun, a famous variety show host in the Taiwan area." ”
Hua Tianyu thought about it for a while, he knew that this variety show diva who was funny, witty, and beautiful, Zheng Xiyun was also very famous in the mainland, and almost all famous artists in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan had appeared on her shows.
"The child was sick last month, Xiyun's father-in-law died, because the child is the eldest grandson, even if he is young, he has to participate in the funeral throughout the whole process, and the child is sick after the funeral, first there is a high fever, and after the high fever, the child trembles non-stop, and after the hospital examination, no disease is found.
But when he got home, the child pointed to the wall of the bedroom, and said that there was an old man sitting there watching him laugh, which frightened the couple at this time, and the child kept talking nonsense, and was in a state of low spirits, but the hospital could not detect the disease at all.
Xiyun's mother-in-law said that the child must have been evil, and found a monk and Taoist priest to exorcise evil spirits for the child, but it didn't work, and now it's almost a month, and the child seems to have changed a person, doesn't like to talk, is sluggish, often wakes up in a dream, and then cries non-stop, and the family is sad during this time. ”
After listening to Qi Zilin's words, Hua Tianyu understood what was going on.
Hua Tianyu nodded, and then said: "This disease is one of the symptoms of hysteria, which can be expressed in language, emotion, behavior, and body.
The birth of this disease in adults is related to the patient's cultural process, childhood life, psychosocial factors, religious beliefs, and physical health.
When a child is born with this disease, it is directly related to the environment in which he lives and the external causes he receives.
Folk believe that most of the demons are immortals, whirlwinds, large groups, long snakes, etc.
Demonic possession is the immortality of the spirit after the death of a person, attached to a living person. Evil is the invasion of evil energy, evil mostly refers to the spirit of all things, such as snake spirit, fox spirit, etc., the folk believe so, in traditional Chinese medicine, it is considered to be an emotional disease. ”
Hearing what Hua Tianyu said, Qi Zilin could afford goosebumps when she heard it, and even her assistant Lei Xia was terrified when she heard it, but she was a person from the past and had some understanding of this disease.
She interjected: "Teacher Hua, I have seen such a disease before. ”
Hua Tianyu said: "You've seen it, tell me about it!"
Lei Xia said: "My hometown is rural, and when I went back to my hometown a few years ago, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in the neighborhood went crazy in the middle of the night, noisy and noisy, and full of nonsense.
There was only one mother in her house, and there was no way to go to my house for help, and it took several of my second uncle to restrain the girl and tie him up with a rope, and if he didn't tie him up, the child would jump around and not wear any clothes, and his strength was terrifying, and three or two people couldn't get close to her. ”
"Ah, what kind of disease did she have, and how was she cured?" Qi Zilin had never heard of these folk wonders, and her curiosity was aroused.
Lei Xia said: "There is a local doctor in the village, who specializes in drawing soul codes for people, soul charms and other things, and knows a little about traditional Chinese medicine, so he can't go to the hospital in the middle of the night, so my second uncle went to invite him."
After he came, he looked at it a few times, and said that the child was Wong Tai Sin (weasel), and he pricked the child with a needle a few times, and then chanted, saying that all kinds of elves and ghosts, what should go, what should be retreated, what he wants to seal. ”
"Seal the door, shatter the heavenly palace. Hua Tianyu said.
"Yes, that's it, the girl seems to be unable to control herself, pointing at the doctor and scolding, saying that he is nosy and can't die well, I was there at the time, and the girl's eyes were rolling when she said this, which was very scary.
The doctor said to the girl with a gloomy face, I know that you are in him, people return to people, essence to essence, each to his own land, you are messing around like this, you are breaking the rules, if you don't leave, you can't leave if you want to go, I will give you another chance, go or not.
The girl still scolded, and the doctor stopped talking, and pricked her with a needle a few more times, and the girl was speechless all at once, and her whole body trembled violently, twisting and twisting, and her face was bruised.
"And what happened later?" Qi Zilin's eyes widened, as if listening to a fantasy.
Lei Xia said: "After the doctor finished pricking the needle, when he saw the girl's state, he pulled out a needle, and then asked, can you go, I will leave you a way now, if you don't go, I will seal you inside, and when the time comes, you will be cut off, and you can't go if you want to."
The girl's body trembled like chaff, staring at her and nodding, the doctor withdrew the needle, and the girl fainted at once, and the next morning was fine, but she didn't remember what happened last night.
I was very curious, the next day I asked my second uncle, my second uncle said that the doctor ten miles and eight villages, as long as someone is evil, the ghost is looking for him, especially powerful, after a few years I went to the second uncle's house, when I asked the doctor, the second uncle said that he died two years ago, I have always regretted not looking for the doctor to ask clearly, how he treated, is there really any ghosts and spirits in this world, but I heard the second uncle say, the doctor once said, what is his hand acupuncture stunt called thirteen needles. ”
"Thirteen needles in the valley. ”
"Yes, yes, that's the name. Lei Xia looked at Hua Tianyu in surprise. "Doctor Hua, you can do this kind of acupuncture too?"
Hua Tianyu nodded and said: "This is the thirteen needles of Guigu, which were handed down by the Taoist Xuandu ** master Guiguzi, and were passed on to the disciples Zhang Yi, Sun Bin, and Xu Fu, and later passed to Hua Tuo.
Hua Tuo's Thirteen Needles of Guigu has been cultivated to the realm of Qi Imperial Needle, which can raise the dead and turn reincarnation, but after Hua Tuo, the thirteen needles of Guigu have not been handed down, and what the world knows is passed down from Hua Tuo, all of them are fur, and the essence is no longer there. ”
Ge Hong mentioned the "Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Valley" when he described the "Nine Turns of the Jade Dragon Needle" in "Hug Puzi", Ge Hong said that the "Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Valley" shocked the world, weeping ghosts and gods, specializing in the worship of ghosts and gods, and being able to control people's life and death.
Therefore, Ge Hong discussed the "Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Valley" when discussing the "Nine Turns of the Jade Dragon Needle", and these two needles have their own merits, but Ge Hong only recorded a part of the "Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Valley" in "Hug Puzi", and did not write down all of them, and only recorded the part of the needle method that treats the "Ghost and God Worship".
So as soon as Lei Xia said that the folk doctor used needles to rule the ghost Chong, Hua Tianyu knew that the other party used the 'Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Valley', it seems that there are really such strange people among the people.
