Chapter 758: The Hongmen Banquet in Chinatown
I looked at Red sincerely, and I said, "Mr. Red, I really don't want to do this Ji Boda. My medical skills...... Hey, anyway, you let me kill people, whatever. I save people, I work as a doctor, I really can't do it, it's very difficult......"
Redwin: "The medical skills of the Chinese are actually very broad and profound. Speaking of this, Red's voice changed meaningfully: "Ji Boda, do you know what the true essence of Chinese medicine is?" ”
Me: "Mr. Red, could you please change your name?" ”
Red: "Humph! Li Jun, don't be ignorant, from now on, whoever I let you be, you are who you are. Now, in front of me, you are Ji Baida. ”
Well, brother lost! Red, you're taking it too seriously.
I bowed my head.
Red continued: "The essence of Chinese medicine is not in curing diseases, but in not getting sick. The essence of the herb, do not have a disease, take it again. Rather, if you are not sick, eat in advance, you know? ”
I was stunned.
This stunned is true.
Because, I didn't expect Red, a foreigner, to understand Chinese medicine so thoroughly.
I humbly asked, "Mr. Red, how do you know so much detail?" ”
"There is a nobleman in Europe whose ancestors once invaded China. At that time, there was a woman named Cixi who was the female emperor of China. At that time, the ancestors of the nobles got a bamboo slip from the court, and after returning, after the study of Chinese scholars, they learned that your herbs were not obtained by Shennong by tasting herbs. ”
I was surprised, so I asked, "That's ......."
Red said: "Shennong, it is true that he has done this thing of tasting herbs. But this process of tasting herbs is not as simple as the legend suggests. Because he can't just take any kind of grass and eat it. There are so many species in the world, if he can't eat the legendary broken intestine grass in his turn, he will die? And in the legend, the theory of poison accumulation of internal organs is even more unscientific and uncredible. ”
I nodded in agreement, thinking that this statement is more reliable.
Don't need anything else, now find someone, learn from Shennong, go up the mountain, and gnaw on the grass.
In less than a day, a few hours, this guy will be poisoned to death.
Red went on to say, "Shennong is not a person's name, but a tribe's name. According to the bamboo slip, we know that the duty of this tribe is to find, collect, and collect herbs that are beneficial to the human body based on an unverifiable book. ”
I asked, "What kind of book is that?" ”
Red sighed: "I don't know very well, that book, has been lost. But I know that many of the contents of the later Yellow Emperor's Neijing came from that ancient book......"
Next, Red told me that in that book, it was said that the natural herbs that spread all over the world were things used by ancient real people for self-cultivation and life.
Therefore, the real strength of Chinese herbal medicine is not to cure diseases! Rather, it allows people not to get sick and live a long and healthy life!
This view is very objective.
Chinese medicine can not cure everything, some acute diseases, such as acute purulent appendicitis, what herbs you use, is not as sharp as a click.
There is also acute pancreatitis, when it occurs, it is really a race against time, if the medicine is used, the medicine over there is boiled well, I am afraid that people will also hang.
The real core idea of herbal medicine is that you don't get sick!
That is, through the needs of the five elements, according to the seasons, solar terms, and in the case of good health, take non-toxic herbs to achieve the goal of swallowing the Qi of heaven and earth.
Human life is driven by the Qi of life, and this Taoist has a book called 'Yunqi Seven Signs'. (Yunqi Seven Signatures, in the Orthodox Daozang, there is a record in the Taixuan Department.) There's a detailed description of this.
The amount of life is destined for the length of a person's life.
However, if you take herbs that are beneficial to your five elements when you are healthy, you can achieve the effect of increasing your life qi and extending your life!
This is the core of the real Taoist medicine!
For example, many of us are weak and very cold-loving. Then, if three days before and after the winter solstice, according to the five elements of yin and yang, six qi, and so on to accompany a bowl of tonic soup to drink.
Then OK, I promise not to get sick for the next year.
Or the Dragon Boat Festival, according to their own characteristics, three days before and after, take some herbs.
In the summer, there will be no sleepiness.
This is the essence of Taoist medicine.
Red spoke at this point.
"It's a pity that in China, only Cantonese people who know how to eat know how to integrate herbs into their daily lives. But modern ......," said Red, shaking his head, "the population is growing and many species are on the verge of extinction. Ninety-five percent of the herbs are cultivated artificially, and the pharmacological functions contained in them may exist, but the miraculous forces of nature are gone. ”
I let myself look at myself with a hint of adoration.
Gaze at Red......
Red smiled.
"J, do Ji Boda well, you won't know how important this person is. In this way, I see that you have a foundation in traditional Chinese medicine. And it's good. So, I'm going to give you a set of books, and you'll study it at Mr. Dodge's house. ”
I wondered, "What book?" ”
Red: "Ancient books, they come from the Chinese royal family. It's just, you know, my Chinese level is very limited. Therefore, it is up to you to interpret the essence contained in it. ”
I put on a big look and said, "Then I'll do my best." ”
Red smiled: "You'll get used to it and like the status of Last Season." ”
Red took the bait.
It is not an easy matter to let such a big fish take the bait.
There are many things that cannot be described in words. For example, tangled gestures, eyes, and the cold sweat made by that spittle, and the step-by-step plan.
Red will never know that I, in fact, am the Celestial Lord!
Let's play!
The feeling of a heartbeat, it's really amazing.
I settled in Mr. Dodge's house.
In the evening of the same day.
18:45 minutes.
A car pulls into Mr. Dodge's home.
Then, Red's driver, handed me a large suitcase.
I can't wait to get back to my room.
Open it.
At that moment, I was startled.
The royal medical case, the royal medical case of the Qing Dynasty!
In addition, there are some recipes for alchemy, that is, the use of lead and mercury elixirs.
It turns out that we have all misunderstood the ancients, and it is not that the lead and mercury elixir cannot be taken. You can take it, but after taking it, you still need to do a series of detoxification procedures. Moreover, they are really not a tonic, but a poison for healing!
This big box of books is all-encompassing.
Things are very miscellaneous, there are both medical books, fitness guidance, and divination, astrology, feng shui, and even Qimen Dunjia, all of which are included.
These are all precious cultural heritages!
I decided to do some research.
Next, five days passed.
During the day, I occasionally go to college to accompany little Fannelle to class and make fun of her. I'll be back in the afternoon and study my old books.
Security, I don't have to do it.
Now, I'm Ji Boda, and of course I don't need to be a security guard.
Similarly, every day, Mr. Huang Hancheng would come to Dodge's house to treat little Catherine. But as far as I can see, Catherine's illness doesn't seem to be curing. (If I don't make a move, can I do it?) )
The little wizard Luluda, like a little magic stick every day, only fiddles with his things in the room, except that he does not enter the door and does not go out of the second door. I guess this little guy is in retreat.
During this period, I sent the bell and soul lock nail of the fifth master to Li Xue by FedEx.
It's not safe to carry this thing with you now.
On the sixth day, I was in the house, flipping through the deed of Zhou Yishen.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
I opened the door.
Standing at the door was Huang Hancheng.
When I saw him, I was respectful: "Hello Mr. Huang." ”
Huang Hancheng, sneering, looked me up and down: "Like, really like, very similar." If the medical skills are more superb, it will be more like. ”
I was stunned: "Like what?" ”
Huang Hancheng: "Don't pretend to me, don't you say that you are Ji Baida?" So good, tonight, at XX Restaurant in Chinatown, someone will have a banquet for you, Mr. Ji will pick up the wind and wash the dust! (This time he spoke Chinese.) )
I laughed, "No, no. ”
Huang Hancheng closed his head: "Why not, you Mr. Ji, how famous you are in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, and the mainland." When you arrive in Los Angeles, you can't just follow the foreigners, but at least you have to say hello to your friends in the Chinese circle, right? ”
I said, "Good, good! So, what time is it in the evening? ”
Huang Hancheng: "It's six o'clock, Chinatown, we'll see you again!" ”
As he spoke, he traditionally threw his fist at me, dodged, and fled.
After Huang Hancheng left, I immediately contacted Red by phone and explained that Mr. Huang was going to invite me to dinner.
Red smiled: "It's time for you to use your new identity and visit Chinatown." ”
I said, "Okay, I'll go and visit." ”
Red then said, "I got you a car, remember the Lincoln that broke down?" Now, it's yours. In addition, Joseph had a credit card with a limit of $100,000. You can use it to solve some problems in life. ”
I said, "Thank you." ”
Red: "As long as you do it well, you will play Ji Baida's identity well, and there will be many benefits in the future." ”
Brushed up the phone.
I went to Joseph and, from him, got an envelope with a credit card in it, and Lincoln's car keys.
Three o'clock.
I picked up the car and set off.
Come to Chinatown.
What a feeling I had here, for a while, it was as if time had passed through the edges, and I was back in Hong Kong.
Yes, the streets are full of traditional characters, billboards, and Chinese......
At 17:45, I parked the car in front of the designated restaurant.
When I got out of the car, a beautiful Chinese girl in a cheongsam asked me if I had made a room reservation in standard Cantonese.
I replied with a smile: "My surname is Ji, and someone asked me out." ”
The Chinese girl's face changed, and then she smiled and showed me the way.
The restaurant is large and has two floors.
I went up to the second floor, and the girl was at the end of the second floor and opened the door to a private room.
I poked in, and looked inside.
Hehe.
Is this the Hongmen Feast?
A big round table!
Nine people sat neatly!
They are either fat-headed and big-eared, or insidious and cunning, or murderous, in short, he is uncle! A good guy doesn't!
I walked into the house.
The waiter was in the back, and the door slammed shut.
Then, I saw a bad smile on the faces of these nine people!
