On June 30, it was already the time agreed between Shen Tingyu and Dr. Sun, and Shen Tingyu got up early and rushed to the pharmacy. In the past few days, in addition to studying hard, he has to spend two hours every day to familiarize himself with herbs and pharmacology, and he has mastered most of a pharmacopoeia at this time.

When he came to the pharmacy, Shen Tingyu said straight to the point: "Doctor Sun, I have studied the pharmacopoeia carefully in the past ten days, please let the horse come over if there is any assessment." ”

"Oh, Shen Gongzi seems to be confident, so I'll start with the old decay. First question, let's talk about the characteristics of andrographis. Dr. Sun said.

"Andrographis is an annual herb with four-edged stems, enlarged nodes, racemes apical and axillary, integrated with large panicles; The bracts and bracts are small, the calyx lobes are triangular-lanceolate, the corolla is white and small, the stamens are two, the anthers have two chambers, and the base of the chamber and the filament side are pubescent. ”

"Okay, Shen Gongzi is really talented." Then Dr. Sun took out the four different medicinal materials that had been prepared in advance from under the counter and said, "The second problem is to distinguish honeysuckle from these four medicinal materials. ”

Shen Tingyu looked at it, pointed to the third medicinal herb and said, "This medicinal herb is honeysuckle. ”

"It seems that Shen Gongzi is already quite proficient in distinguishing the types of medicinal materials, so I will test Shen Gongzi's pharmacology next." The third question is, what is the effect of angelica? ”

"Angelica sinensis has the effects of nourishing blood and blood, regulating menstruation and relieving pain, moistening the dry and smooth intestines, anti-cancer, anti-aging, anti-aging, and immunity." Shen Tingyu replied.

"Yes, it seems that you are really familiar with this pharmacopoeia, the fourth question: what is the sexual taste of licorice?"

"Gan Ping."

"Well, then I'm going to test your abilities, question five. There is a patient who has diarrhea and the prescription is as follows: Codonopsis, Atractylodes, Angelica, and Ume. May I ask which kind of medicine this doctor added that should never be prescribed? Dr. Sun asked.

"But angelica?" Shen Tingyu said.

"Yes, angelica has the effect of moistening the intestines, and it will cause the medicinal properties to clash in this recipe, I didn't expect Shen Gongzi to be able to learn and use it so quickly, it's really rare." The last question, Chonglou is a herb for the treatment of trauma, how toxic is it? ”

"Slightly toxic."

"Congratulations to Shen Gongzi for passing the apprenticeship exam, from now on, you will be an old apprentice."

"Sir, please bow down to the apprentices." As he spoke, Shen Tingyu was about to kneel.

"Hurry up, please." Doctor Sun hurriedly helped Shen Tingyu up.

"Since you have worshipped me as a teacher, I will teach you the art of acupuncture today." Dr. Sun said.

"To learn acupuncture, you must first understand the acupuncture points of the human body. Let me ask you, do you know how many acupuncture points there are in our human body? ”

"I don't know, please ask Mr. to explain my doubts." Shen Tingyu said.

"The human body has 52 single acupoints, 309 double acupoints, and 50 extra-meridian acupoints, a total of 720 acupuncture points, of which there are 108 vital acupoints, and among the vital acupoints, there are 36 dead acupoints. There are four kinds of dead acupoints: soft numbness, dizziness, light and heavy, each of which has nine acupoints. In life-and-death struggles, death holes are often used to injure people. There is a song that says: 'Baihui fell to the ground, the tail did not return to the hometown, the Zhangmen was hit, nine out of ten people died, the sun and the dumb gate, will inevitably see the king of Hades, broken spine without bones, and died in a hurry under the knee. And for the healer to save people, you must remember not to use these 36 points to hurt people! Dr. Sun advised.

"Ting Yu must remember Mr.'s teachings, and he will definitely hang the pot to help the world, instead of hurting people with it." Shen Tingyu promised.

"Well, it's good if you have that heart. The human body has 12 meridians and 8 strange meridians, of which the 12 meridians include three yin of the hand, three yang of the hand, three yin of the foot, and three yang of the foot. The eight veins of the Qi Jing refer to: Ren, Du, Chong, Belt, Yin Stilts, Yang Stilts, Yin Dimension, and Yang Dimension. You can use the context as a guide to write down these 720 acupuncture points. ”

"Disciple understands."

"Then let's get to know Hegu Cave today. It is located in the mouth of the tiger, between the first and second metacarpal bones on the back of the hand, about the midpoint of the second metacarpal bone, and opposite the Lao Palace in the palm of the hand. Hegu can dredge the meridians, open the body and wake up the mind, and also have a good effect on drowsiness. Now you have found this acupuncture point in your hand. Dr. Sun said.

Shen Tingyu raised his palm and looked at it, and after observing it for a while, he had already found a position and said, "Sir, is this Hegu acupoint just below the thumb?" ”

"That's right, Tingyu is really talented, and over time, he will definitely be able to achieve something in medical skills." Dr. Sun's eyes were full of praise that could not be concealed.

"Sir is gracious."

"That's it for today, although what you learned today is the basics, but it is extremely important, after you go back, don't forget it easily."

"The disciple heeded the reminder of the gentleman and took his leave." Shen Tingyu made a gesture, turned around and left the pharmacy.

Walking on the path of the market, Shen Tingyu thought back to the things that Dr. Sun taught him today, completely ignoring the lively market around him. However, when he passed by the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Shen Tingyu stopped, he remembered the peerless "Falling Flowers" played by Chu Zhilan a few days ago, and felt very nostalgic in his heart, so he opened his legs and walked into the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

At this time, the Xiaoxiang Pavilion was empty, obviously Chu Zhilan did not play the piano to pick up guests, Shen Tingyu walked into the backyard, and sure enough, Chu Zhilan was sitting on the stone bench of a stone pavilion to enjoy the coolness, Xu saw Shen Tingyu coming, Chu Zhilan took the lead and said: "Why is Shen Gongzi free to come to my Xiaoxiang Pavilion today?" ”

"I happened to pass by, but I just remembered the "Falling Flowers" played by Miss Zhilan a few days ago, and I missed it very much." Shen Tingyu said.

"This "Falling Flowers" that has been filled in has never been sung yet, and it just so happened that Shen Gongzi came today, how about the little woman singing this falling flowers for Gongzi?"

"It's an honor."

Do you know that the reason why I haven't played and sang for others for a long time is because I have to wait for you, a bosom friend. Chu Zhilan thought so in her heart, and then saw her pluck the strings lightly, singing along with the sound of the strings, sometimes the sound of the piano was low, sometimes crisp. And in her voice, sometimes complaining, sometimes sonorous, like resentment, like pouring, as if the sound of the piano and her voice were born to blend together.

The song ended, but Shen Tingyu at this time was still unsatisfied.

"Miss Zhilan, your piano skills should be unique in the world, and you will never get tired of listening to this piano sound."

"Shen Gongzi has won the award, and he has been given a song by Shen Gongzi before, but now it seems that it is very suitable for this song, and I think Shen Gongzi is also a person who is well versed in music and rhythm?" Chu Zhilan said.

"If you know it well, you don't dare to do it, but you just know a little about it." Shen Tingyu said.

"Then today, the little girl is going to ask Shen Gongzi for advice, I wonder if Shen Gongzi is willing to answer questions for the little girl?"

"I don't dare to ask for advice, but I am willing to work with Miss Zhilan to deliberate, but if you are lucky enough to answer correctly, can you ask Miss Zhilan to play a song for you?" Shen Tingyu asked. He had now begun to be infatuated with Chu Zhilan's piano sound.

"If you can get the son's doubts, the little woman will definitely play the son's solo."

"In that case, then ask Miss Zhilan to ask questions."
