Chapter 31: The Inheritance of Hua Tuo

As far as Li Jiancheng knows, Hua Tuo has many apprentices, among whom there are famous in history, such as Fan A, who is famous for acupuncture, Wu Pu, who is the author of "Wu Pu's Materia Medica", and Li Dangzhi, who is the author of "The Book of Materia Medica".

The reason why he is also very satisfied with this matter is because he has watched the paragraph of Luo Guanzhong's "Interpretation of the Three Kingdoms", in which Cao Cao asked Hua Tuo, a miracle doctor who had treated Zhou Tai's injuries, to treat his headaches for many years.

However, Hua Tuo thought that Cao Cao's illness required a craniotomy, and the suspicious Cao Cao thought that Hua Tuo wanted to take the opportunity to kill him, so Hua Tuo was imprisoned and tortured to death on the charge of assassination.

And Li Jiancheng in his previous life, at that time, he also knew that what was recorded in the official history was different.

Cao Cao asked Hua Tuo to treat his head wind.

Hua Tuo said honestly: "This disease is difficult to cure in the short term, and even long-term treatment can only prolong life." So, Hua Tuo became Cao Cao's health doctor, and Li Dangzhi, who wrote the "Classic of Materia Medica", was the medicine boy who decocted Cao Cao at that time.

Later, because Hua Tuo had been away from home for too long, he thought about it very much, so he wanted to go back, and told Cao Cao that he had received a letter from home and wanted to go back temporarily.

But after Hua Tuo arrived home, he said that his wife was sick and asked for an extended vacation many times and did not return.

Cao Cao urged five times to let Hua Tuo come back, during which he even issued an edict to the county to recruit people to send it, Hua Tuo was free and easy, and he didn't want to be driven by the officials and nobles, so he still used his wife's poor health as an excuse.

Cao Cao was very angry, so he sent someone to investigate; If Hua Tuo's wife is really sick, he will give 4,000 liters of beans and relax the holiday; If cheated, arrest and remand.

The result can be imagined, Hua Tuo was caught by the little tail, and during the interrogation, he also confessed to his guilt; The sin of deception and the sin of non-conformity.

Xun Yu pleaded with Cao Cao and said: "Hua Tuo's medical skills are indeed clever, and the talented are arrogant, so the prime minister should be more tolerant." ”

Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "It's okay, why worry about not finding talents?" He is not the only miracle doctor. It means that there is also the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing.

In the end, Hua Tuo died in prison, and before he died, he took out a medical book and gave it to the jailer, saying, "This book can be used to save the living." The jailer was afraid of breaking the law and did not dare to accept it, so Hua Tuo had to endure the pain and burned the book with fire, so that the hemp boiled and was lost.

But there is also a folk legend that Wu Prison did not reject Hua Tuo's "Green Capsule Sutra", accepted it and planned to study it.

However, when he returned home from his job as a prison guard that day, he saw his wife burning something in the house.

The jailer took a closer look and found that what was being burned was actually a medical book given by Hua Tuo. He immediately stopped his wife, but unfortunately he returned too late, and only half of the fragment was salvaged from the fire. Later, the Wu jailer still learned this half of the book and passed on a craft, that is, gelding.

A gelding is a craftsman who makes a male or female animal lose its ability to reproduce.

Li Jiancheng visited the geldings in his previous life, and they all said that their Jianghu gang was called Rubbing and Twisting, and the ancestor was Hua Tuo, and at the same time, it also explained that Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang gave Cong a couplet: two hands split the door of life and death, and cut off the root of right and wrong with one knife, in order to prove that their inheritance is orderly.

However, archaeological evidence also points out that the act of castration existed as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty 3,000 years ago.

Li Jiancheng secretly guessed before that the reason why the geldings of later generations passed on the ancestor to Hua Tuo should be some major reforms and changes here.

He also had a bold speculation that Ma Boiling San was not lost at that time, otherwise how the geldings would have gelatinated the eggs and nests of female animals.

At the same time, the drug that ensures that the animal does not die due to wound infection is the anti-inflammatory drug used by Hua Tuo during the original operation.

It's just that why this technique deviates from the surgical operation of the doctor's life into castration and circumcision, Li Jiancheng privately thinks that it should be caused by the ancients who were in awe of corpses, did not understand the structure of the human body without dissection, and the accident rate was too high, so it was not accepted by the public.

When Li Jiancheng visited in his previous life, the geldings used anesthetics and anti-inflammatory drugs that were already Western medicines.

He still thinks that Luo Guanzhong's writing of the skull in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is likely to be a lost gelding method that he has never seen, and then processed it artistically.

You must know that there is a big difference between craniotomy and disembowelment.

Originally, Li Jiancheng had no plans to put it on the agenda for the time being.

You know, Li Jiancheng said that he was interested in medical skills, and he had to explain a lot, if he was interested in such things as plowing pigs, steers, geldings, and castration, not to mention whether the coffin board of the ancestor of the old Li family could be suppressed, even if the old grandmother Dugu hurt him again, he couldn't help but round the crutches and greet him.

But now that the conversation has arrived, Li Jiancheng's mind flashed, and he decided to test it, and said with emotion:

"Wu Pu passed down the five bird plays of the divine doctor Hua Tuo, and Fan A passed down his acupuncture, so I don't know if Ma Boiling San is true or not?" Hua Tuo died in 208, less than 400 years away from the current year 606, and it is likely that there will be an unexpected discovery.

Liu Honglang was stunned when he heard this, he really didn't expect Li Jiancheng to know so much, especially Ma Boiling San, even if he was a doctor, he didn't necessarily know it: "How do you know that Ma Boiling is scattered?" ”

Li Jiancheng's eyes flashed, it seemed that it was still a secret, and when he heard Liu Honglang's words, he said: "I overheard a gelding saying it after drinking, and he blew it so much, and he said that he could change his heart." "Pretending not to believe it.

Liu Honglang beckoned to Li Jiancheng, and after Li Jiancheng's head leaned over, he lowered his voice and said: "I heard my father inadvertently mention that, my father felt a pity at the time, the jailer at the beginning, because he knew this recipe, and was suppressed by others, legend has it that he burned the real recipe in a fit of anger, changed the recipe that was boiling hemp, and spread it, and then the person changed his name and surname." And after the changed recipe is eaten by people, it will ...... No more. Speaking of this, Liu Honglang glanced at Li Jian's crotch, meaning something.

"Where do you look?" Li Jiancheng glanced at Liu Honglang angrily, and then showed a sad look, and said: "If this is really the case, it would be a pity, if it were me, how could I find a way to keep the original recipe." As he spoke, he opened the medical book in his hand.

"Who's to say it's not." Liu Honglang also said with emotion: "Even if it is not used to disembowel, it is good to just relieve pain." Sighed: "It's been more than four hundred years, even if it hasn't been destroyed, but this war has been raging, and the inheritance may be broken......"

"Huh?!"

Li Jiancheng suddenly interrupted Liu Honglang's words.

Because he was talking about Wu Pu and Ma Boiling just now, Liu Honglang saw Li Jiancheng concentrating on checking the pages of the book, something flashed in his mind, and blurted out: "What did you find?" Looking at Li Jiancheng, the Adam's apple was still sliding nervously. (To be continued)
