Chapter 459: The Art of Longevity

readx;

Someone once calculated the time recorded on the tombstones of more than 5,100 square Tang Dynasty and wrote an article "Overall Analysis of the Family Size and Structure of the Tang Dynasty", arguing that the average age of death of Tang people was 59.3 years old. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Of course, this number is obviously incorrect, and there is a big problem with sampling.

Because only the old man dies before the monument is erected, and the child who dies in infancy is not erected, and in ancient times, due to the extremely backward delivery technology, the infant mortality rate was very high. In addition, poor families have no money to erect monuments, and those homeless beggars who die on the road who "have frozen bones on the road" cannot erect monuments, so this value is obviously too high, and it is reasonable to calculate. The average life expectancy during the peak life expectancy of the Tang Dynasty was about 48 years old.

Therefore, the average life expectancy of the entire Tang Dynasty was only thirty or forty years old, and Sun Simiao lived to be one hundred and sixty-five years old, this age is not only a super old birthday star in the Tang Dynasty, but even now, it is unmatched. If you can learn the art of health preservation from Sun Simiao and live to be one hundred and sixty-five years old, then it will be interesting.

Do the math, now that I am in my early twenties, there are still one hundred and forty years, uh, not only can I see Li Shimin marrying Princess Wencheng to Songtsan Gampo, but I can also see the only female emperor Wu Zetian ascending the throne as the emperor, and I can also experience the second strong era of the Tang Dynasty! can see Li Bai asking Gao Lishi to take off his boots, see Li Longji dancing with the fat girl Yang Guifei, and finally see the fat girl Yang Guifei being forced to hang herself in Ma Weipo in the Anshi Rebellion.

That is, we can witness the historical process of the Tang Dynasty from one strong to another, and finally to weaken!

Wow! It makes people's blood boil when they think about it! It's just that Sun Simiao's longevity can't be replicated. Thinking about it and getting frustrated.

Just when Zuo Shaoyang's head was turning over the river and wondering what would happen in the future if he could learn Sun Simiao's longevity technique, Sun Simiao was thinking about how to get Zuo Shaoyang's method of concocting the attached film. Thinking about it, this is the only way to know the recipe without affecting their way to make money.

Thinking of this, Sun Simiao asked, "Where is the old shopkeeper now?" Is it still in Hezhou? How to find him? Where is his medicine shop? - Lady Zuo? Left-sama! ”

Zuo Shaoyang was distracted, until Sun Simiao called him repeatedly, then he came back to his senses, just now he was thinking that although it was unlikely to live to be one hundred and sixty-five years old like Sun Simiao, if he could live to be more than one hundred years old, he also earned it, so he blurted out: "You teach me longevity!" I can't pass on what you just said, but I can exchange it with you with another doctor! Guaranteed prescriptions that will satisfy you! ”

Sun Simiao said happily: "Okay! What is the prescription? ”

Zuo Shaoyang thought to himself, he was more than a thousand years ahead of the medical knowledge, and there were simply too many things that could teach Sun Simiao, so he had to find one that interested him the most and hang his interest so that he could teach him longevity with his heart. Since he is interested in Peng Bing's case, it is best to use this, in addition to aconite, there is also Huashan ginseng!

Zuo Shaoyang said: "You may know that Lord Peng Bingpeng coughed and wheeze violently on the morning of the face saint, causing suffocation and almost dying, I used a medicine to calm his coughing and wheezing, so that he not only struggled back from the death line, but also sang and ran in front of the emperor, and kept the black gauze hat, this medicine can quickly suppress asthma and cough, I will use this medicine to exchange longevity with you, how about it?" ”

Sun Simiao smiled, took out a carrot-like medicine from his arms and said with a smile: "Is this medicine?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang saw that it was Huashan ginseng, and said in surprise: "How did you get it?" ”

"I asked Lord Peng Bingpeng what happened, and he said that you sent a medicinal herb at that time, and after Lord Peng took it, the effect was remarkable, and the Huashan County Order sent local medicine pickers to go up the mountain to collect medicine, and dug a lot back. I asked him for one. ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled bitterly: "It turns out that you already know." ”

"Yes, it didn't cost me to get this medicine, and Master Peng was embarrassed not to tell me, hehe, do you have any other medicine? Like Huashan ginseng, which I don't know about but works very well. It must work, that is, you have used this medicine to treat people and cure them, preferably many people have used it and it is effective. ”

Zuo Shaoyang originally wanted to find a commonly used one of the new drugs in later generations for him, and when he heard this, he must have used it before, so the scope was suddenly much narrower, and after thinking about it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "May I ask the old doctor, what prescription is used to treat stroke?" ”

When Sun Simiao heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "I have read the article forwarded by the Imperial Medical Department that you used a very cheap prescription to treat a stroke and cured patients such as Niu Jiaoshi, and I came today to buy this prescription with you!" Would you like to exchange this recipe for my longevity? ”

It turned out that Sun Simiao already knew about it, so it was much simpler, and the cost of his prescription for treating stroke was hundreds of times cheaper than the commonly used prescription in the Tang Dynasty! Therefore, in the Tang Dynasty, it can indeed be regarded as a recipe for turning stones into gold. And Sun Simiao often treats ordinary people, and what he needs most is this kind of cheap prescription, no wonder he is so enthusiastic.

Without waiting for Zuo Shaoyang to answer, Sun Simiao frowned again and said, "It's not proper!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly said: "You don't want to? ”

"No, of course I do, it's just that my longevity technique was originally taught to others for free, and I teach it to anyone who asks, if you want to know, I can teach you for free, and it's not fair to you to exchange secret recipes with you. In this way, in addition to the longevity technique I will teach you, I will tell you a few more secret recipes, how about the secret recipe that you think is worth your recipe? ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled secretly in his heart, all your recipes were written in "Qianjin Yao Fang" and "Qianjin Secret Recipe", and then you all announced them for free, and I am familiar with the important prescriptions in my chest, even if you don't publish them in these two books, the important prescriptions you know now are only afraid that they have been written into your medical experience, Sister Xiao has already helped me copy a copy for me, and you can't take out the prescriptions I don't know.

Therefore, Zuo Shaoyang smiled and said: "No need, I don't want to learn so many recipes, as long as my own recipes can be used well." ”

Sun Simiao looked at him very strangely: "You must know that the recipe I taught you is absolutely unknown to others, and I also think that it is a secret recipe that does not pass on the life of white bones!" ”

"I know, but my master has taught me enough recipes, and I don't want to learn anything else."

"You doll is really arrogant!" Sun Simiao was a little displeased, blew his beard and stared at him, for a while, seeing that he didn't change his words, he snorted and said: "Okay, since you don't want my prescription, I'll think about it again, what to exchange for your peerless prescription, your prescription is too precious, it can save the lives of many people, you have to think of a worthy thing to exchange!" ”

Sun Simiao's words made Zuo Shaoyang's heart sink, and he suddenly thought that these prescriptions of his own only appeared in later generations, if he told Sun Simiao now, and Sun Simiao disclosed it in his two medical books of "Qianjin Fang", what should the people who invented these prescriptions in later generations? Moreover, many medical prescriptions are epoch-making, such as the treatment of tuberculosis and other diseases that could not be treated in the Tang Dynasty, didn't they disrupt the course of history? Will this cause confusion?

If it is because he wants to learn the art of longevity and arbitrarily discloses the prescriptions of the future, causing chaos in history, then I am afraid that he will become a sinner of history!

Before he could figure out how to deal with this matter, Xu Yinzong next to him had already snorted heavily and said: "The old man is a few years older than him, and when it comes to longevity, I can be ranked ahead of him. Could it be that my almost 100-year-old longevity technique is not as good as his 80-something? ”

Sun Simiao was eager to change Zuo Shaoyang's prescription for treating stroke, and hurriedly said: "I'm not afraid that you don't like to hear it, old guy, you can't live me, don't you see that I'm over eighty years old, and my hair and beard are still black?" You look everywhere, if you can find someone my age with black hair and beard, I'll pat my ass and leave, and don't mention the word longevity? ”

This is Xu Yinzong's sore feet, although he is a few years older than him, but he knows that his body is not only old and dizzy, his teeth have also fallen out, and he is in pain, but he is trying to hide it from others, and some diseases are already incurable, and the days behind him are counting. And this Sun Simiao has been cultivating Buddhism and practicing Dan since he was a child, and he is well versed in the art of longevity, so although he is now eighty-eight years old, his body is not inferior to that of young people, his eyes are bright and his ears are deaf, his teeth are not lost, he bites nuts loudly, and rarely gets sick.

Xu Yinzong said this, but he was not convinced for a while, his prescription for Zuo Shaoyang's stroke treatment was not as big as Sun Simiao's, because he was no longer able to go out to visit the doctor at his age, and he was not interested in carving his medical skills into a book and making it public, so it was good to know this prescription, but it didn't matter if he didn't know. I won't fight with Sun Simiao anymore.

Zuo Shaoyang knew that Sun Simiao was the most famous old birthday star in history who had lived for one hundred and sixty-five years, and if he wanted to ask for longevity, he naturally wanted to find him. - Old man Sun, let's go to the backyard and talk about it, let's be quieter. It does not affect the diagnosis of others. ”

"Good!" Sun Simiao smiled and walked out of the door.

Zuo Shaoyang bowed his hand to Xu Yinzong and the others, followed him out, and led Sun Simiao to the backyard.

The backyard of the Southeast Medical Center is a courtyard style, the wings on both sides are the wards for hospitalization, as well as the processing room and the medicinal materials warehouse for concocting medicinal materials, etc., and the three rooms in the middle are several different styles of living rooms, some are small and some are large, and the largest one is also the conference room of the medical hall. The small living room is also a consultation room where it is inconvenient for dignitaries or rich ladies to see outsiders.
