Chapter 2 Accepting Disciples
Xu Daozhi had some pressure inexplicably during the evening self-study, and he couldn't tell why, he wanted to recite all the articles he memorized today in front of the old man. So in the evening self-study, he was not looking at the books taught in school, but reciting "The Theory of Transferring Essence and Changing Qi". He was still carrying the lights when the lights were about to go out in the dormitory, until Jin Yanjie reminded him: "Xiaodao, what are you memorizing, you are carrying it when I sit next to you in the evening self-study, and you are still reciting until the lights are about to go out." What's wrong?" Xu Daozhi woke up when he heard Jin Yanjie asking him, and replied, "It's okay, I'm memorizing some extracurricular books." Well, the lights are going out soon, so I'm going to hurry up and wash up. He Haiquan saw that Xu Daozhi didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask any more.
Xu Daozhi looked at the dormitory and found that He Haiquan and Li Jiajun were not in the dormitory anymore, so he asked: "The local tyrant and the sea are not in the dormitory?" Jin Yanjie was already ready to climb to the top bunk and enter the quilt, and replied when he heard Xu Daozhi ask: "Both of them have girlfriends to accompany them, and they went out after evening self-study, and they just called them, saying that they would rush back before the lights went out." With that, he went under the covers.
Hearing Jin Yanjie say this, Xu Daozhi was no longer concerned, he wanted to hurry up and wash up. Then lie down in the warm bed and continue to carry it for a while while before falling asleep.
The morning is still the same, after getting up at half past five, Xu Daozhi went to Zhenwu Lake to exercise, after a while, the old man also came, the two people in the exercise did not say anything, until Xu Daozhi finished the exercise to the small pavilion and memorized for a while, the old man also finished exercising, and came into the pavilion, and saw that Xu Daozhi was still memorizing so he asked: "How is it, can you memorize it?" Xu Daozhi was a little embarrassed, because sometimes he could memorize it completely, but sometimes he couldn't remember some sentences, so he told the truth:" Not yet, sometimes I miss some sentences. He felt that he was a little weak, so he continued: "But I will definitely be able to memorize it skillfully in the evening, and you will see when the time comes." The old man nodded slightly and smiled, "Okay, I'm looking forward to your performance in the evening." ”
The words have been put down, if it is not realized, Xu Daozhi feels ashamed, so it is impossible to take the class seriously, at least it is impossible to take the class seriously on this day. Finally, at three o'clock in the afternoon, he felt that he could do it, and the whole chapter rolled in his head. After trying to memorize it a few times, he confirmed that he had indeed memorized the "Theory of Transferring Essence and Changing Qi".
In the evening, he came to Zhenwu Lake with confidence, and waited for the arrival of the old man after doing the exercise. Ten minutes later, the old man came, he saw Xu Daozhi waiting for him in the small pavilion, smiled slightly, walked up to Xu Daozhi and said: "Seeing that you are still here, you must be full of confidence and have memorized it, so show it to me." Xu Daozhi didn't say much, and recited when he opened his mouth: "The Yellow Emperor asked: Yu Wengu's cure, but it can only be blessed if it moves essence and changes qi." In this world, the disease is cured, the poison is cured, the needle is cured, and the needle is cured, whether it is cured or not, what is it...... The emperor said: Yu Wen wants to be from the master! The master is inseparable from the vein, and the rest of the knowledge is also ...... Qi Bo said: Closed doors, the sick people, ask them about their feelings, so as to follow their intentions, those who have God prosper, and those who lose God die. The emperor said: Good. Taking a breath, Xu Daozhi said to the old man proudly: "Look, old man, I'm done reciting it, and I didn't make a mistake!"
The old man listened to Xu Daozhi's back and nodded and remembered the scene of the first time he saw Xu Daozhi, that day he came to the lake to exercise as usual, and suddenly saw that there was a young man who was also practicing by the lake, as an old Chinese medicine doctor, he could see at a glance that the young man was practicing the five poultry opera, but it did not attract much attention to him, after all, the five poultry opera as a kind of exercise and health preservation, it is still very widespread, and there is no fuss about a teenager's meeting. Then he saw Xu Daozhi sitting in the small pavilion by the lake after finishing his workout. He will also come to the pavilion to sit for a while after his workout. He thought it was a coincidence. When the old man finished his workout, he also went to the gazebo, and then he saw the young man chanting words in his mouth. Listening carefully, he was actually memorizing the "Three Character Classic of Medicine", which aroused his interest at once. He guessed that this teenager might be a freshman at Jinling University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, because he had been exercising here for so many years before, and he had never met such a teenager, and Jinling University of Traditional Chinese Medicine had just opened. So he was sure that his inference was correct.
This made the old man a little excited, he is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, but he is faced with the situation of not being able to find a successor, and he has a daughter at home, but the daughter does not want to learn this traditional skill. In addition to the current argument that Chinese medicine is pseudoscience, there is a lot of noise. From time to time, some black materials about Chinese medicine are reported whether they are true or false, which makes many young people reluctant to learn Chinese medicine. In addition, the old man also has requirements for accepting disciples. First of all, people must be smart, because such a skill in Chinese medicine requires a high level of understanding, otherwise it is easy to cure problems. Xu Daozhi's ability to be admitted to Jinling University of Traditional Chinese Medicine is enough to prove that he is qualified in terms of intelligence. The second is to have a love for Chinese medicine, because interest is the best teacher of learning, if you are not interested enough in a thing, then you will not be able to devote yourself to the study of this thing. He knew whether the University of Chinese Medicine taught students to memorize the "Three Character Classics of Medicine", which must have been found by Xu Daozhi because he wanted to study. Therefore, the old man thinks that Xu Daozhi is satisfied with the condition of loving Chinese medicine. Then there is one last point, that is, perseverance, the discipline of Chinese medicine is easy to learn and difficult to master, and people with a little qualification, buy two medical books to see, and copy according to the above Fangzi can sometimes cure diseases. However, if you want to truly become a master of Chinese medicine, whether you have perseverance or not is the decisive factor in the future. So he needs to investigate Xu Daozhi.
For most of the year, from the "Three Character Classic of Medicine" to "The Song of the Soup" to the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", the old man witnessed Xu Daozhi's growth and perseverance. He decided to take Xu Daozhi as an apprentice.
So yesterday, when he found a missing sentence when listening to Xu Daozhi's endorsement, he started his first conversation on this ground. found that Xu Daozhi spoke decently, which was why he wanted to bring Xu Daozhi into the door. However, he still has to test Xu Daozhi one last time, so he said to Xu Daozhi yesterday evening that he wants to hear him memorize this chapter today.
He can hear that Xu Daozhi is still unfamiliar with "The Theory of Transferring Essence and Changing Qi", he should have just come into contact with it, so the main reason is to see if Xu Daozhi can listen to him and go back to memorize this chapter, and the second is to see where Xu Daozhi's limit is. And today's result is that Xu Daozhiran is very satisfied.
So he said: "Young man, to be honest, I have been observing you for a long time, you should be very fond of Chinese medicine, and I also think that you are very suitable for studying Chinese medicine, and I want to take you as an apprentice, what do you think?"
