In the swirling steam, Bai Wan and Shen You leaned against the wall of the pool, and their thoughts seemed to be pulled back to a hundred years ago.

"In fact, this Li family is a big family in the rivers and lakes, you have to say that none of this disguise and health preservation techniques have been able to stand out for thousands of years, and you may not know the way of the ancestor of the Li family, but you must know the way of the grandfather of the ancestor of the door."

"Who?" Shen You asked in some surprise.

"Li Shizhen."

Sure enough, after saying this, Shen You couldn't help but gasp, even though he lived in the mountains when he was a teenager, but when he was a child, he talked to him thoroughly about historical changes and social changes.

Legend has it that Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, and after that, regardless of Hua Tuo and Sun Simiao, Li Shizhen was definitely able to compete with them. In particular, the "Compendium of Herbs" has provided a better platform for future generations to study medicine.

"What is his grandson and not him?"

After hearing this, he smiled and said: "Do you think Li Shizhen could have time to do these things when he walked the world, cured all kinds of diseases, rescued the people of Li and hung upside down?" The so-called disguise technique and health preservation technique are only a small part of medicine, just like there are many imperial doctors with superb medical skills in history, but as long as the emperor believes in Taoism and other sects, they are all trampled under their feet. ”

"Yes, that's right, why?"

Hundreds of thousands in the pool rubbed the ashes on their bodies, and said with a smile: "That's because they are just emperors who solve physical problems, and all Taoist priests or monks are all cultivating the art of immortality and the art of bed." ”

When he heard this, Shen You had gradually understood that the reason why Li Shizhen had excellent medical skills but could not start a sect was mainly because he did not have the heart to seek fame and fortune at all.

A strong iron bone is to seek a benevolent heart that loves the people.

Bai Wan said leisurely: "By the time of his grandson's generation, the medical skills were almost scattered, so one of the grandchildren began to work hard to study health preservation and disguise techniques. ”

"Well, it is estimated that people in the market have also begun to walk among the powerful."

"This is indeed true, especially the way of health and rejuvenation, not only about the mind, but also about the specific materials, what pearl deer antler musk, etc., are all precious things. How can ordinary people in the market use it! ”

"And then?" Shen You was already a little impatient.

"At that time, it was only vaguely established, but it was not very obvious. It wasn't until the Manchu Dynasty that Nurhachi entered the customs that the Li family's health and rejuvenation really formed a climate. ”

"They took refuge in the Manchu Emperor?"

"No, there should be!" Millions of people first denied and then affirmed.

"So what's going on?" Shen You asked.

"Although the Li family relied on the art of maintaining health and rejuvenating the face to please the powerful, it was difficult for them to accept the fact of the death of the Ming Dynasty when the Ming Dynasty died, so they were entangled with the Heaven and Earth Society at that time, and they jointly had the theory of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty."

Shen You couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "This Li family probably started to enter the palace at that time, right?" ”

"That's right, from that time on, basically every generation of the Li family will pick out children who are more talented in all aspects of qualifications and crafts and send them to the court, these people will either grow up with princes and princesses and the like, or serve the concubines, so the news can also be spread."

When he heard this, Shen You had basically understood that the reason why the so-called Li family, who established a family in Yan with health preservation, has endured for a long time is not only because of their own craftsmanship, but also because there are people in their court, these people can pass on information, overthrow the court, and retreat can flatter the emperor's concubines and protect the glory and wealth of the Li family.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's really three hundred and sixty lines, and the line is the champion, but I don't know what is special about these people." ”

After finishing speaking, Shen You was rubbing the dirt on his body, and seeing that he was rubbing the dirt, he continued: "Don't believe it, let's take your mud rubbing for example." You are an ordinary mud rub, and other people's mud can be rubbed to the bones. ”

"Is that amazing? I feel like I can rub it myself? ”

"You can rub it yourself, but it must be another layer a few days after you finish rubbing, and the reason is actually very simple, it's because you don't rub it deep enough, and you don't rub it to the bottom at all."

"Old man, you don't just hear about it, do you?"

Bai Wan smiled and said: "You remember the human skin mask I gave you in Quancheng, that thing was actually not made by me, but given to me by the current Xiao Li's Laozi, Li Shennong." ”

"Hey, I really can't see it, old man, you are so big, you have a brother like Jiang Haofeng who is drunk and crazy in Quancheng, and there is a friend like the old man of the Li family in Shencheng......"

For the first time, Shen You had a clear idea of the old guy in front of him who looked sloppy and unkempt.

"Yes, don't talk about friends, I am friends with him, because he owes me a favor, Li Shennong gave me a mask, this thing can definitely be fake, even the ointment I gave you at the beginning, diluted and applied to the neck, and the face is one, that is also from Li Shennong's hand."

At this time, Shen You couldn't help but think of the mask as thin as a cicada's wings that he had used, and he barely felt the slightest feeling when he held it in his hand, and even a **lake like Zeng Hu could be hidden on his face. I couldn't help but secretly sigh at the ingenuity of the Li family.

Millions of people said lazily: "It is estimated that Li Shennong will either bring that human skin mask into the coffin, or he will tell Xiao Li Zi before he dies." ”

"What, what's the point of doing this?"

"That's right, the legend says that the people of the Li family can only make a maximum of seven human skin masks in their lifetime, I mean the kind that confuses the real with the fake, not the kind that is shoddy and indiscriminate, and at most one will be left when they die, and the rest will be brought to the coffin."

After hearing this, Shen You couldn't help but ask in surprise: "What do you mean, the people of the Li family in the past generations will leave masks?" ”

"That's right, at most of them, of course, most of them will be brought to the coffin, and I got this mask very early, about 30 years ago, so I guess this is probably Li Shennong's first mask."

After finishing speaking, Bai Yuan got up and came out of the pool, and asked Shen You, "What's the matter, have you washed it?" Let's go for a massage, or rub it, so that you can feel the craftsmanship of their Li family. ”

Shen You was also very curious about all this that Millions said, and immediately climbed out of the pool with Millions of Millions. On one side, someone who was serving on the side greeted them and took them directly to the VIP guest room.

The so-called VIP customer package is not very prosperous, and it is even said to be a little simple, just a bed, plus a large wooden box.

Shen You and Bai Wan are each in a small room, and Shen You is a woman in her 40s who serves Shen You, but her skin is extremely delicate and smooth, and her body is plump.

After Shen You lay down on the bed, the woman asked in a soft and glutinous Wu Nong soft voice, "Boss, should you massage it first or steam it first?" ”

"Let's get a massage!"

Shen You listened to the acupressure introduced by millions just now, and his heart was very moved.

The woman nodded, signaled Shen You to relax all over her body, and laid her body down, and after Shen You relaxed all his body, the woman took out a box of green and oily paste and applied it to Shen You's naked back.

"What is this?" Shen You smelled a strange fragrance and immediately asked.

"The specific ingredients are inconvenient to tell you, anyway, there are a total of 27 kinds of precious Chinese medicinal materials including pearls, ginseng, Polygonum multiflori, mother ru, etc., which only play a role in moisturizing the skin, and have nothing to do with massage, but may have a certain relationship with the mud rubbing after massage."

The woman replied in a soft, waxy voice.

After a while, in the woman's technique of using her fingertips or fingertips or fingers or clenching fists or gently twisting and slowly twisting with her palms, Shen You fell asleep in a daze.

About forty minutes later, Shen You suddenly woke up from the acupressure, but he felt that his whole body was relaxed, his whole body was comfortable, and an indescribable comfort permeated his whole body. Immediately, I secretly sighed in my heart, this Li family really deserves its reputation.

The woman said softly at this time: "The boss will rub the mud for you next, and I will know that you must not have rubbed it when I look at your skin." It may be a little painful at first, but you should have about ten minutes to get used to it, and you can bear with it a little. ”

"It's good." Shen You didn't say much, and lay on the bed obediently.

I saw that the woman's fingers were placed on his Baihui acupoint, along his cervical vertebrae, to the spine, and then slid down from both sides of the spine, Shen You suddenly felt a burst of excitement, and the tail vertebrae seemed to have some joyful movements.

After three consecutive strokes, the woman takes the base of her palm as the center of the circle, and then uses her fingers to exert force in the center of the circle, and then slowly rotates it.

Suddenly, Shen You felt as if his skin had cracked, and although it was a little painful, it was relatively comfortable.

After rubbing the entire back in this way, the woman gently patted Shen You's back with her palm, not very hard, but like a massage, only to see that Shen You's originally reddened skin gradually changed back to its original color.

After everything returned to its normal color, the woman began to poke her nails on Shen You's back, little by little, Shen You could feel the hardness of her nails, but there was no discomfort.

After poking with my fingernails, I rubbed it again, and then I started to use the index fingers of both hands to gently tap it little by little, and then slowly rubbed it with the palm of my hand after tapping, so that after about nine processes, I gently rubbed it up.

From the back to the arms, it was all over, nearly an hour had passed, and an indescribable wonderful feeling permeated Shen You's whole body, he smiled and thanked the woman and walked outside the door, only to see that hundreds of thousands of people were still waiting outside with a dry tobacco pouch.
