It is often said that illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread, but Tong Wanqing recovered at an amazing speed. After drinking the medicine for two days, Tong Wanqing was already able to get out of bed. Although she is still a little weak, she no longer has to worry about whether she will be sick again.

Before Xu Xiaole had time to invite Sun Yufeng, Sun Yufeng came by himself. He gave Tong Wanqing a pulse, added or decreased a few flavors of medicine, only fresh pig gall bladder was still two a day. After seeing Tong Wanqing, Sun Yufeng entered Xu Xiaole's study, glanced around, and sat at Xu Xiaole's desk.

Xu Xiaole stood opposite Uncle Shi, didn't wait for Sun Yufeng to speak, and said with a smile: "Thank you Uncle Zu for saving my sister-in-law." ”

Sun Yufeng said: "It should be. ”

Xu Xiaole's thoughts jumped quickly, and he said: "Uncle Shi, I have been reading books for the past two days, and I know that the ochre, gentian, aloe, and coptis you prescribe are all to lower the qi of upward adversity; Shu lacquer, danpi, and red peony are to slow down the blood flow; Oysters, keels, and five flavors are to converge the floating gods. But I don't understand, what is pig gall used for? ”

Sun Yufeng looked at Xu Xiaole with some surprise, and said secretly in his heart: This son is quite perceptive. This should be what the decoction prescription is thinking about, and no one breaks it and he knows how to do it, it's really fate.

So Sun Yufeng asked Xu Xiaole: "What do you think pig gall is for?" ”

Xu Xiaole tilted his head: "The medicine book says: pig gallbladder can clear heat, moisten dryness, and detoxify." It is often used for fever, thirst, constipation, cough and asthma. Patients often have symptoms such as red eyes, puffs, and diarrhea. My sister-in-law doesn't have any. ”

Sun Yufeng smiled slightly: "You have checked a lot of books in the past two days, you are really attentive." ”

Xu Xiaole was very rare to be praised by others, and suddenly danced with his hands, almost getting carried away.

Sun Yufeng continued: "It's a pity that you read like this, it's nothing more than a blind man touching an elephant, and you don't know the roots. ”

Xu Xiaole's body stiffened: "Please ask Uncle Zu for advice." ”

Sun Yufeng said: "The art of war is cloudy: to coincide and win with wonder." The medicine that lowers qi, conducts blood, and calms the nerves in front is like a dignified array, which is in harmony. This pig gall, I don't take its medicinal properties, but its physical properties. Because your sister-in-law is hot and young, the bile must have dried up. Fresh pig bile is taken with medicine, and it is the same kind of thing that can be helped. ”

Xu Xiaole heard three points of understanding and seven points of ignorance, and still admired: "So that's the case, this is the victory of Yiqi." ”

Sun Yufeng said with a smile: "The disease is like the enemy, the patient is the commander of our army, and our doctor is the strategist and military advisor." Applying medicine and needles, just mobilizing the army, defeating the enemy, when to fight in front of the battle, when to sneak attack the grain road, all doctors should know. ”

He saw that Xu Xiaole listened to it with relish, and said: "The ancients said that if it is not a good look, it is a good doctor." Because the prime minister, like the doctor, is a balance of yin and yang, and the two are interconnected. You know the recipe, that's good. But you really have no foundation, looking at this recipe just to see its medicinal properties, it can be said that it is half the effort. ”

Xu Xiaole hurriedly asked, "Then where should I start?" ”

Sun Yufeng said: "You must first know what is a person, what is heaven and earth, and what is heaven and earth in people." In this way, your sister-in-law can eat the changed recipe for five days, and after five days, I will come again. You take care of your sister-in-law first, and when I come, let's go to a place where we can see the landscape. ”

Xu Xiaole nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Okay, the closest thing we have here is Lingyan Mountain, although it is not high, it can also see far away." If you go further, there is a dome mountain, which is the highest mountain in Gusu, and you can see Taihu Lake. ”

Sun Yufeng nodded and said, "Qionglong Mountain is good." There is a true view there, and it is a place where the gods come out. Zhu Maichen studied there, Sun Wu wrote the military book there, and Han Shizhong also lived there, it is a famous mountain, so let's go there. ”

Xu Xiaole heard Sun Yufeng casually report the names of three people, he only knew one Han Shizhong, and he heard about it from Mr. Storyteller, so he couldn't help but be a little shy. Sun Yufeng found out about Xu Xiaole's reaction, so he asked, "Haven't you read a book?" ”

Xu Xiaole smiled awkwardly: "I've read some medical books." ”

Sun Yufeng shook his head again and again: "Don't read medical books first." Let's go find a set of "Historical Records" first, and read it carefully. One hundred and thirty articles, not one less. ”

Xu Xiaole was puzzled: "Uncle Shi, I learned medical skills from you, why do you want to read history books?" ”

Sun Yufeng got up and walked out, beckoned Xu Xiaole to follow, and said as he walked: "It has been 5,000 years since my Huaxia China no longer drank blood like animals and established the code system.

"A lot of things have happened in these 5,000 years, and that's what is called history. If all this history were written down, I am afraid that the books could be piled up into a mountain. Frying this mountain-like history into a small bowl like a decoction is the Taoist system that we have inherited.

"In this small bowl of tradition, only one drop of essence is extracted, and that is the Tao. The Tao contains all things, and nothing in the world is not in the Tao. It is only through our physical practice of the Tao that we have the art of medicine. The ancients studied medicine, and they had to be over thirty years old, thorough in literature and history, and have an understanding of the Tao, so that they could get started in three years, become small in five years, and become successful in seven years. Do you still think that you can learn medical skills well just by reading medical books? ”

Xu Xiaole couldn't help but smack his tongue when he heard it: "Then how many books do I have to read?" ”

Sun Yufeng smiled: "You will naturally know when the time comes." ”

The two talked as they walked, and in a blink of an eye they arrived at the door. Xu Xiaole was reluctant to Sun Yufeng and sent him to the mouth of the alley. Sun Yufeng also happened to tell him some ways to read, asking him to learn to be meticulous and figure out words. When he walked to the mouth of the alley, Sun Yufeng hadn't finished speaking, and Xu Xiaole took the initiative to send him to the dock.

sent each other all the way, and finally sent Sun Yufeng to Suzhou City. Now that he arrived in the county town, Xu Xiaole simply proposed to go to the Yaowang Temple, and he could also meet the master Li Xiqiang who was not doing right by the way.

Li Xiqiang really didn't disappoint Xu Xiaole-

When Xu Xiaole saw him, he was setting up a table to practice on the main street outside the Yaowang Temple. Probably because there was no business for a long time, the person had fallen asleep on the table. There were two bamboo poles on the wall behind him, and a cloth was hung on each of the bamboo poles, and on the left was written: Wonderful hands rejuvenation; On the right is written: Iron mouth straight break.

Xu Xiaole only felt ashamed, peeked at Sun Yufeng, but saw that this uncle ancestor's face was also a little blue. He took a breath, suppressed the shame in his heart, and walked over quickly and patted the table.

Li Xiqiang suddenly woke up, sat upright, and opened his mouth to shout: "Write letters on behalf of you, five big money!" ”
