Chapter 4: Apprenticeship

Walking to the door of the medical hall, Lu Lao took out the key to open the door, at this time Xu Daozhi was also looking at the medical hall, last night due to the willingness of the lights Xu Daozhi did not look carefully.

I saw that the appearance of the store as a whole looks like the traditional classical gate style in the south of the Yangtze River, two doors that look like wooden guards and closes, there are two wooden pillars on both sides of the door, half of the wooden pillars are inlaid in the wall, the other half is exposed outside, there is a couplet written on the wooden pillars, and the wooden pillars on the left are written "Looking, hearing, asking, cutting and distinguishing between cold and heat, and the void and reality", and the wooden pillars on the right are written "The monarch and the ministers make sweat and vomit down".

At this time, Lu Lao had already opened the door and entered the store, and when he saw Xu Daozhi still at the door, he shouted: "What are you doing at the door, come in." Xu Daozhi, who was watching intently, was awakened, hurriedly sighed, walked inside, and smelled a special smell as soon as he entered the store. Then Xu Daozhi saw a large medicine cabinet erected in front of the wall on the left side of the real one. There is a glass counter in front of the medicine cabinet. There were some, pills, and large paper bags inside, and there were several plates on the counter, which were lined with paper. On the right side of the store, there are a few benches in front of you, and then there's a table with a wrist pillow on the table. This looks like Lu Lao's consultation table. Behind the table, there is a bronze figure about one and a half meters high, and the bronze figure is densely covered with acupuncture points. There was a small door in the back, which looked like there was a small room inside, and there was a curtain on the small door, which had been pulled up.

It was the first time Xu Daozhi had seen such a medical hall, and he was very curious, and he kept looking around. Seeing Xu Daozhi like this, Lu Lao knew that most of the apprentices were successful, and said loudly: "Okay, you have also seen the medical hall, and now your doubts should be gone, so do you want to worship me as a teacher?" In fact, when Lu Lao pushed open the door of this medical hall, Xu Daozhi had no hesitation. At this time, when he heard Lu Lao's question, how could there be any reason not to agree. Said loudly: "I am willing, I am willing to worship you as a teacher." Lu Lao couldn't help but smile when he heard Xu Daozhi give the answer he wanted.

Lu Lao said: "Modern society is different from the old society, and that set of apprenticeship etiquette is no longer applicable. But there are some rules that still need to be followed. With that, he moved the chair that was behind the examination table to the bronze man. Then sat down and said to Xu Daozhi: "Kneel!" Xu Dao was shocked, but he still knelt in front of Lu Lao according to his words.

After seeing Xu Daozhi kneel, Lu Lao said solemnly: "I, Lu Wende, the descendant of Lu Zhaoling, the disciple of Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, found a son named Xu Daozhi today, whose qualifications, talents, temperament and character are all the best choices for learning Chinese medicine, so I want to accept him as an apprentice and pass on the way of Chinese medicine." Now under the witness of the bronze man of acupuncture and moxibustion, I ask you, Xu Daozhi, are you willing to worship me as a teacher. ”

"I do"

"Good! Then prostrate your head. ”

A head knocks to the ground, which means that the master-apprentice relationship is officially formed. After the ceremony, Lu Wende helped Xu Daozhi up and said: "Daozhi, for the teacher, you will kneel and kowtow, you can blame you for being the teacher." Xu Daozhi shook his head and said, "No." Lu Wende nodded and continued: "I want to teach you that your kneeling and knocking is not kneeling and detaining me, you are kneeling to the sages who created and perfected Chinese medicine, and you are worshipping the knowledge of Chinese medicine since the Chinese inheritance." You must also learn from me if you kneel down at this point, and you must not be half-hearted, otherwise you yourself will not be able to afford what you have done today. ”

After Lu Wende said that Xu Dao's heart was ignited, he said passionately: "I will live up to what I did today, live up to the sages, and live up to the master." ”

After hearing this, Lu Wende nodded and said, "Okay, I believe in you." Then he said quite proudly: "I am my master and can train you one-on-one in traditional Chinese medicine that is different from the system of traditional Chinese medicine in school, and to put it mildly, with my knowledge and experience, I can definitely enable you to walk out of a broad road on the road of traditional Chinese medicine." Secondly, the study of Chinese medicine does not mean that you can read a few books, which requires practical hands-on operation and practice, and the medicinal materials and appliances in the study are provided by me, and you can learn my experience and prescriptions when I see a doctor in the future. At a certain point, I will let you see the patient, and then I will check it out so that you can get more practical experience. How do you think my master is worth your worship?"

Hearing Lu Wende's description, Xu Daozhi couldn't help but be full of beautiful fantasies about the future, and nodded in affirmation of what Lu Wende said.

Lu Wende felt a little happy when he saw Xu Daozhi's appearance, and said: "Okay, what happened today may have a big impact on you, go back and clean up your mood first, I also have to prepare some materials to teach you, and come over tomorrow when I have time." Anyway, you know the road. After finishing speaking, he suddenly thought of something and said to Xu Daozhi: "Don't read the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" you are reading now, this book is still too deep for you now, and it is not very beneficial for you to read it now, some of the contents in it seem to be contradictory, but in fact, it reflects his subtlety in the subtleties. Even I can't say I've eaten this book, let alone you. Let's go play for a day today, and you won't even have time to play from tomorrow. ”

Xu Daozhi was not frightened by what Lu Wende said, from the moment he decided to study Chinese medicine, he had already made such preparations, and now that he had such an opportunity, how could he retreat. So he said, "Master, since I chose Chinese medicine, I have already realized that I will not be moved by external objects and devote myself to it. At that time, I hope that the master will give advice. Master said that it is not suitable for me to read "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon" right now, so I will not read it yet. ”

When Lu Wende heard what Xu Daozhi said, David was happy in his heart, but he said: "Okay, don't say it nicely now, I hope you are consistent in your words and deeds." Alright, let's go back first. Well, when are you coming over tomorrow? ”

Xu Daozhi replied: "Master, I'll be here at twelve o'clock at noon tomorrow, then Master, I'll go back first?" After getting Lu Wende's consent, Xu Daozhi walked out of the medical hall and walked towards the school.

At ten o'clock, Xu Daozhi pushed open the door of the dormitory, and then found that the other three people in the dormitory were looking at him with strange eyes. What do you want to do? Seeing Xu Daozhi like this, Li Jiajun first spoke, "Xiaodao, why did you go honestly?" Today we waited so hard for your breakfast! I won't answer your phone call. Say, didn't you take my sister away? The other three also chimed in: "Yes, did you take my sister away?" A few people didn't really ask Xu Daozhi because of breakfast. It's that Xu Daozhi has always been punctual and punctual to go back to the dormitory, but today he suddenly waited for so long and didn't come back, and no one answered the phone. In addition, Jin Yanjie said that Xu Daozhi has been a little abnormal recently, so everyone is a little worried.

Hearing that he was not interested in his body, Xu Daozhi breathed a sigh of relief, put his hand down, took out his mobile phone and found that there were indeed many missed calls, and then he saw that the mobile phone was actually in silent mode, which should have been accidentally touched. So he sneered: "A few big guys can't help it, I don't know why my little brother's mobile phone is actually in silent mode." I'm really sorry. In recent years, the quality of mobile phones has been getting worse and worse. ”

Li Jiajun and the others didn't plan to let Xu Daozhi go like this, and asked: "Be serious, don't divert the topic, and honestly explain what you are doing." Xu Daozhi couldn't hide it, and after thinking about it, he couldn't hide it for long, so he simply told it out.
