Chapter 342: Dan Dao

After chatting with Wang Xu for a few words, Hu Qunliang took out a broken book from his desk drawer and handed it to Wang Xu: "This thing was searched from Xie Chunfeng's room, and it was hidden very secretly at the time. ”

Wang Xu took the broken book from Hu Qunliang's hand, looked at it, the cover was long gone, and he couldn't tell what was not paper, like animal skins and the like.

After carefully flipping through a few pages, the handwriting on it is all traditional characters, and the language is also very profound, it is indeed like a medical book, which contains a lot of prescription records, but most of them are methods of health preservation and alchemy.

"Dr. Wang, do you see anything?" Hu Qunliang asked with a smile.

"It's like a medical book before the Tang Dynasty." Wang Xu muttered: "Many of the pill refining methods in this are very reasonable, but the content is profound, and many of the words are traditional characters, which are difficult to read. ”

Hu Qunliang said: "I also read it, it's really hard to identify, I also looked for someone to read the age of this book, it should be from the Jin Dynasty." ”

"Jin Dynasty!" Hearing this, Wang Xu carefully flipped through a few pages again, nodded and said, "Well, looking at the records and language styles in this, I think of a person." ”

"Who?" Hu Qunliang asked puzzled.

"Ge Hong!" Wang Xu replied.

"Ge Hong!" Hu Qunliang was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "You mean Ge Hong, a famous pharmacist and alchemist in the Eastern Jin Dynasty?" ”

"Not bad." Wang Xu nodded and said: "I have read his "Behind the Elbow", the language style on this book is very similar to "Behind the Elbow", almost the same person's handwriting, and Ge Hong is good at alchemy, maybe this book is written by Ge Hong. ”

To be precise, Ge Hong is in the Taoist lineage, although the Tao of medicine is also very good, but he is a theorist of Taoist thought, not only understands medicine. And like alchemy.

Of course, there are many doctors who like alchemy in ancient China, in fact, ancient Chinese medicine and Taoism also have a deep origin, basically the ancient Taoist priests will have some Qihuang techniques, ancient missionaries, to win the trust of believers, naturally need some means. This medical technique is one of the means by which Taoism can gain the faith of believers.

However, compared to Ge Hong, others are far behind, for example, Xu Fu in the Qin and Han dynasties was an alchemist, and his medical skills were worse, and some other doctors had good medical skills, but they were worse in alchemy. This Ge Hong is very good in medical skills and Dan Dao.

Ge Hong systematically summarized the achievements of alchemy before the Jin Dynasty in his "Inner Chapter of Bao Puzi", systematically summarized the achievements of alchemy before the Jin Dynasty, specifically introduced some alchemy methods, recorded a large number of ancient Dan scriptures and Dan methods, and outlined the historical outline of ancient Chinese alchemy, which had a great impact on the development of alchemy after the Sui and Tang dynasties.

At the same time, Ge Hong is proficient in medicine and pharmacology. He advocated that Taoist priests should also practice medical skills, and he has made great achievements in medical skills and alchemy, and even many medical theories are very advanced.

For example, Ge Hong was the first to record rabies, and there were corresponding treatments, and he was best at fighting poison with poison, and the records of smallpox and scrub typhus were more than 500 years earlier than the records of Western countries.

Ge Hong is a genius, a cultivator Dan Dao. Studying medical skills abroad, he is proficient in hundreds of schools of thought, pedantic, and many theories are thought-provoking and forward-thinking.

Seeing this, some people may think crookedly, as soon as they see alchemy, it is easy to think of the flying immortals, elixirs or something. In fact, this is a misunderstanding.

Although there are legends of immortals in China, the so-called alchemy is not a myth and legend, although the original intention of Dan Dao is that some Taoist Taoist priests pray for immortality to refine the elixir, but after years of development. Alchemy has broken away from the ultimate myth and has become a mature alchemy culture, and alchemy can be regarded as the enlightenment of modern chemistry.

There are two kinds of drugs made by alchemy, external and internal, external pills are still very valuable, and internal pills are gradually eliminated because of their toxicity, of course, the so-called "magic elixir", in order to "immortality" is naturally absurd.

Alchemy culture is a traditional culture that was born from this absurdity, summarized from practice, and finally formed.

The main purpose of ancient Chinese alchemy was to cultivate the elixir of immortality, and to convert base metals into precious metals such as gold and silver. These two original intentions are naturally absurd, full of superstition and whimsy, but the process is also long, through thousands of years of accumulation, even if it is an absurd process, it can produce something of value, and alchemy is like this.

Wang Xu has been familiar with medical skills since he was a child, and he also knows some about alchemy, and some pills are indeed miraculous when applied externally, even some pills taken internally are not all useless.

Alchemy is actually similar to Chinese medicine in some ways, and some of the secret medicine bowls of Chinese medicine also draw on the experience of alchemy. In the first two years of Wang Henian's death, with the help of alchemy, with the help of traditional Chinese medicine, he developed a secret refining pill, although the medicinal effect of this medicine bowl will not be as magical as the legendary elixir, but it also has a miraculous effect, after taking it, no matter what patient, what disease, how strict the condition, can continue to live for three days.

Don't underestimate the life span of these three days, you must know how many emergency patients have died because of ineffective rescue, some conditions are absolutely a race against time, patients can be extended by one minute, and it is possible to save a life.

However, it is a pity that this secret refining pill was not fully prepared even after Wang Henian's death, but only left a prototype, and now this prescription and secret refining method are in Wang Xu's hands.

After Wang Henian died, Wang Xu also studied this prescription, but his medical skills are still far behind Wang Henian, and he has no clue.

After carefully reading the book in his hand, Wang Xu did not completely understand some of the contents, but he was already sure that this was definitely a Dan book.

Speaking of the value of the Danshu, the practicality is not high, because after all, the pill is highly toxic, the side effects are high, and the treatment is very unrealistic.

If you really want to talk about pills, in fact, they are similar to the stimulants that people often say now, most of the ancient emperors wanted to live forever, and many people took pills. At the beginning of taking the pill, the person who takes it can indeed feel mentally enhanced and physically strong, but in the later stage, he will become dependent, and even die early because of the pill.

Although the practicality is not high, the significance of this book is not small, and many of the theories and preparation methods in it have great reference. There's a lot to learn.

After a cursory reading of this book, Wang Xu took a breath and said: "This should be a book of ancient alchemists, although it is not certain that it is Ge Hong, but the alchemy theory in it is very incisive." ”

"Danshu!" Hu Qunliang was stunned for a moment: "Isn't that a trick to deceive people?" ”

"Sort of, the practicability of the pill is really not great, and many of the pills in it are highly poisonous. Fortunately, Xie Chunfeng didn't know some medicines, so he added some of them indiscriminately, and they were rough and refined, and it didn't take long, otherwise it would really be possible to kill someone. Wang Xu couldn't help but sigh.

After reading this book, he finally knew the source of Xie Chunfeng's pills, many of which were refined from this Dan book. However, he didn't copy the rigid routine, and he also knew how to switch some highly toxic things, such as treating pain, he changed to painkillers such as Panax notoginseng.

Most of these pills are similar to stimulants and the like, which can temporarily stimulate the potential of the human body, which is the reason why the patient feels the effect is significant after taking the medicine on the spot, and I don't know if this Xie Chunfeng has caused death in other places.

"I see." After listening to Wang Xu's explanation, Hu Qunliang smiled: "I thought it was a medical book." Since it's a Dan book, it's not much use. ”

"I can't say that, although it's a Danshu, there are a lot of things worth learning in it." Wang Xu smiled, and then handed the Dan book to Hu Qunliang: "If Director Hu doesn't mind, give me a transcript, and this one will be handed over to you to deal with." ”

Hu Qunliang took the book handed by Wang Xu and did not refuse. This book should be confiscated, after all, it is a thing of the Han Dynasty, not to mention the practicality of the above things, even this animal skin is also a cultural relic.

"Okay. Since you are useful, I will have someone copy it and send it to you another day. Hu Qunliang smiled, looked at the time, it was already more than twelve o'clock at noon, stood up and greeted Wang Xu: "It's time to eat, don't you mind having a meal together?" ”

"How can you mind eating, I can't ask for it." Wang Xu said with a smile, and went out with Hu Qunliang as he spoke.

The two didn't go far, they found a restaurant near the health hall, and they didn't ask for a private room, so they found a secluded place to sit in the hall, ordered a few dishes, and chatted while eating.

This time Hu Qunliang beckoned Wang Xu to come and read this Danshu, which really benefited Wang Xu a lot, he took a brief look at it, and felt that many of the things in it were very incisive, if the time came to transcribe it and translate it into vernacular, he would study it carefully, and it would not be impossible to develop the secret refining pill that his grandfather Wang Henian studied before his death.

And many of the technologies in the book are of great help to the processing of Chinese patent medicines and pure Chinese medicine preparations, and may be able to solve many problems in pharmaceutical factories.

Hu Qunliang definitely helped Wang Xu a lot this time, no matter whether his pills can be developed afterwards or not, he has written down this favor, although he said that he solved this case, but Hu Qunliang can not tell him about this matter, now Hu Qunliang does not hide it, just this heart, this person is definitely worthy of deep friendship.

Thinking of this, Wang Xu thought of Zhong Hanliang yesterday, Zhong Hanliang's family has Zhao Xuemin's medical notes and manuscripts and other things, this broken Danshu still made him understand a lot of things, if he can borrow the manuscript of Zhong Liangmin's family Zhao Xuemin, maybe he will understand a lot of things.

Of course, this thing is the heirloom of the Zhong family, and it still needs to be considered in the long run, and after returning from Kyoto, you can take the time to go to Jiangquan County to test the meaning of Zhou Liangmin's father, if it is possible, he will naturally not treat the Zhong family badly, if people are unwilling, he can only give up, and Wang Xu can't do it.

After having dinner with Hu Qunliang, Wang Xu drove back to Fushengtang, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a pretty figure standing inside and looking around, it was Jiang Yuxian, the daughter of Jiang Hanyun of Jiangxing Group.

Seeing Wang Xu come in, a smile instantly appeared on Jiang Yuxian's face, like a flower bud blooming instantly, and a crisp and pleasant voice flowed out of her charming red lips: "Doctor Wang, are you back?" ”

"Yes, when did Miss Jiang arrive in Zhongjiang?" Wang Xu nodded to Jiang Yuxian with a smile, pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Why don't you sit?" ”

"It's okay, I'm just going to go around." Jiang Yuxian smiled and waved her hand and said, "My dad and I arrived in Zhongjiang last night, my grandfather was also discharged from the hospital, and he is recuperating in the Jianghuai Hotel, and his recovery is very good, thank you so much." Jiang Yuxian said and bent down to Wang Xu and bowed.

"Miss Jiang is polite." Wang Xu saw Jiang Yuxian bending down and saluting in a daze, and had the heart to step forward to stop it, this man and woman are different, and he can't help him, so he can only accept Jiang Yuxian's salute.
