Chapter 9: The Secrets of the Medicine King's Gate
The old Taoist stroked his beard and said: "This is not in a hurry, learning martial arts must be achieved gradually, and it is not beautiful to rush for quick success, and if you don't do it, you will go crazy, and the master has a few." You came with the teacher, and today you are still the same as before, and you should be taught the eight methods of medicine and the "Shennong Hundred Herbs". After Lao Dao finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the study without stopping.
Yang Jibin stuck out his tongue, what the old man said was reasonable, he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, who told himself that he didn't work hard before, and he didn't entangle himself anymore at the moment, and he kept up quickly.
When he arrived at the study, Lao Dao opened the wooden cabinet where the medical books were placed, and took out two medical books and a sandalwood box from it, one of which was a thin medical book with the Eight Methods of Medicine written on it, and the other thick medical book with Shennong's Materia Medica written on the cover. Lao Dao put the thin medical book in front of Yang Jibin and said: "Today I will talk about the eight methods of medicine, which are classified and summarized by doctors in the past dynasties. On the source of the disease, the four characters of internal injury and external feeling are bracketed, and on the feelings of illness, it is unified by the eight characters of cold, heat, void, reality, surface, inside, yin and yang, and on the prescription of curing the disease, it is exhausted by sweating, and, down, eliminating, spitting, clearing, warming, and supplementing. ”
"Sweat method: through the venting of the intestines, the adjustment of the camp and the guard, the promotion of lung qi and other effects, so that the external sense of the six evil in the surface with the sweat to solve, the sweat method is not to sweat for the purpose, mainly through sweating, so that the intestines are opened, the camp and the health is harmonious, the lungs are smooth, and the blood is flowing, so that the evil can be dispelled, and the righteous qi is reconciled. ……”
"Spit method: through the method of vomiting, so that there is room to stay in the throat, chest, stomach phlegm, food or poison from the mouth to spit out, suitable for stroke phlegm, food phlegm yin and stomach, poison still exists in the stomach ......"
"Lower method: through the effects of laxative, cleansing, and attacking, so that the food and drink, dry feces, cold accumulation, phlegm, and water stop that stay in the stomach and intestines come out of the lower body, so as to dispel evil and eliminate diseases. ……”
"Reconciliation: by the method of reconciliation or conciliation,......。 Those who have typhoid fever and evil on the surface will be stained with sweat ,......, half the surface and half inside, which is neither suitable for sweating nor spitting out, and it is okay to reconcile. \"
"Warm method: through the effect of warmth and cold dispelling, to treat the cold syndrome, the formation of the cold syndrome, there is a difference between external and internal injuries. or from the cold evil directly into the inside, or due to mistreatment and mistreatment and damage to the body's yang energy,......"

……

Serve a thick stomach for a long time, prolong life with a light body, a forbidden birth, and a valley. ......" Lao Dao opened the yellowed pages of the book, pointed to the graphics depicted in the book, and carefully explained the appearance characteristics, growth habits, medicinal effects and common formulas of the herb.
Yang Jibin also changed his previous style of hanging children and learned from the old way very carefully.
……
"Okay, that's all for today's medical book. Apprentice, you have behaved very well in the past two days, you must guard against arrogance and rashness. Our Yaowangmen talents are withering, and we are also very old as teachers, and time is running out, so the mantle and inheritance of Yaowangmen in the future will depend on you. Now that you have been in the business for more than 6 years, it is time to tell you all the things about the Medicine King Gate, you have to listen carefully, this is related to the orthodoxy and inheritance of my Medicine King Gate. Lao Dao said to Yang Jibin with a serious face.
"Master, don't worry, I will keep your words firmly in mind, in this life, I will inherit the master's medical and martial arts and carry forward the master's sect as the first one, and I will definitely live up to the master's expectations." Yang Jibin said with a solemn promise.
"It's good that you know, it's really hard work for a teacher in vain. The ancestor of our Yaowangmen is Sun Simiao, founded in the Tang Dynasty, and the original establishment of Yaowangmen was intended to inherit the medical Tao of Shennong Emperor, hang the pot to help the world, solve the suffering of the people, and benefit the world. At the beginning of the opening of the mountain, the ancestors set the 100-character generations of the master, and its character spectrum is: "Since the Yuan to Zhengzhi, Chong Shou into the elixir, Qing Wei Tong Dahua, the true and often wonderful words, loyal and righteous manners, clear to see the sky, worship the religion and the law, Shouren has kung fu, the principle is pure and complete, to the void and the end of the enlightenment, respect for the wisdom of the Ming, the Holy Communion is young, the macro should be performed in the letter, the auspicious light is high, the sincerity is only Huang Gui, the whole wood will be Wang Feng, the cloud rises to the dragon and the tiger, the heir Xi is straight to use the line, Rong Mao Qiankun Xiu, the lotus Kaiyan Baoxing'. Inherited to the present, I am a disciple of the 45th generation of the 'Xuan' character of Yaowangmen, and now the disciples of your generation are the 'to' generation, your senior brother is enlightened, and the second senior brother is sent a letter. For the teacher to view you, you have wonderful roots and wisdom, is a person with deep fortune, it can be said that it is rare to see in a hundred years, and now you will take your road name as Zhihui, can you be satisfied? ”
"Zhihui? Wisdom? This number is really worthy of the name, it's very good, I like it, that disciple bowed to the master for giving him the number! After Yang Jibin finished speaking, he made a big salute to the master, and then raised his head and asked curiously: "Master, you have mentioned my two senior brothers several times, but you don't know where they live now?" ”
"This, I don't know now, there has been no news of them for decades, when your two senior brothers left the division, the land of China was rampant and the lives were ruined, they were all good children, in order to eliminate the Japanese invaders as soon as possible and save the people from fire and water, regardless of personal life and death, they participated in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression regardless of personal life and death. The old man's tone was tinged with a touch of worry and sadness.
"Master, don't worry, the two senior brothers are capable and kind-hearted, I believe that God has eyes and auspicious people have their own natural appearance, they must be fine, but they have lost contact in the years of war and chaos." Seeing Lao Dao's gloomy expression, Yang Jibin immediately spoke out to comfort him.
"I hope so, I hope that when the teacher is alive, I can still meet your two senior brothers. If you don't have a chance in this life, you don't need to force it. According to the records in the manuals of the ancestors, the Yaowangmen was the largest when there were seven halls, of which the medical hall was responsible for saving lives and helping the wounded, the grass hall was responsible for the cultivation and acquisition of medicinal materials, the medicine hall was responsible for the formulation and refining of pills, the martial arts hall was responsible for the training of disciples and the teaching of martial arts, the dark hall was responsible for guard protection, patrol and attack, the back hall was responsible for money, and the main hall was responsible for personnel deployment and punishment. ”
"Master, why do we still have to establish a martial hall and a dark hall in the Medicine King Sect, aren't we a medical sect, and we will go to the rivers and lakes to fight and kill?" Yang Jibin asked with some puzzlement.
"People don't hurt the tiger, and the tiger eats people's hearts." Why the knife has a sheath, not to kill, but to hide. Children, you have to know that people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes have always been full of grievances, and the rivers and lakes have been fighting endlessly, although the medicine king gate has always been indisputable with the world, with the purpose of saving lives and helping the wounded, but it is inevitable that for various reasons it will be involved in some rivers and lakes, and the medical skills, pills, and martial arts of the medicine king's door are not the treasures that make the world salivate. People don't hurt the tiger, the tiger hurts people's hearts, this wealth touches people's hearts, can we not strengthen self-protection and defense? In fact, it is also because the master has suffered several unwarranted disasters that the talent has withered, the master has fallen, and many exquisite medical skills and martial arts have been lost in the disturbance. Therefore, children, you have to keep in mind this lesson, no matter when your own strength is the most important, empty wealth but no ability to protect yourself is equivalent to a fat sheep to be slaughtered, and everything will become empty talk without strength. "The old way once again respects and teaches.
"Follow Master's teachings!" Yang Jibin's expression darkened, and he couldn't help but think of the past in his previous life, isn't that how it was, the originally peaceful life inadvertently fell into a conspiracy, which eventually led to the destruction of his family.
"You don't have to worry too much, after all, times are different, and fighting and killing is a thing of the past. These are the case manuals and transcripts of the practice of medicine for many years, so you can also take a look. Lao Dao saw that Yang Jibin's face was a little bad, so he comforted him, and then opened the sandalwood box on the table, and handed Yang Jibin a thick stack of manuals.
Yang Jibin began to look at them one by one seriously, the cases recorded in the manual are very rare, and his symptomatic prescriptions are even more strange, which are very different from the prescriptions and cases mentioned in several medical books he has already studied, and he can't help but increase his interest. As soon as Yang Jibin encountered something he didn't understand, he asked the master, and the old Taoist explained very patiently on the side, and he was very happy to see Yang Jibin so studious.
There are also a few letters mixed in the manual, Yang Jibin couldn't help but light up when he saw the stamps on the envelope, and the stamps on the envelopes were not the legendary dragon stamps. On August 15, 1878, the Qing Dynasty government customs trial postal service issued China's first set of stamps for the first time - the dragon stamps, the main picture is the symbol of the Qing imperial family - the dragon, this is the first set of stamps issued by China, has a strong collection value and historical significance. There are two large dragon wide side 5 cents silver, its condition is quite good, remember that such a big dragon ticket in 1991 auction for 374,000 pounds, and a few years later these big dragon tickets will not be millions. Thinking of this, Yang Jibin couldn't help but be a little distracted, he didn't expect that there were millions of wealth in the inconspicuous manuals.
