Sun Simiao said to Zuo Shaoyang: "I heard that the daughter of the Qiao family, that is, your current wife, once broke her leg, and you used gloomy wood to pick up her bones, saved her leg, and walked freely, but later her leg was necrotic, and even the Zhen brothers couldn't cure it, but let you cure it, but is there such a thing?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang was a little surprised when he heard that Sun Simiao knew about it, but he didn't know that Sun Simiao was most concerned about medical matters, and he had many disciples, and he was born with easy-going surnames, there was no shelf, and he made friends from three religions and nine streams, these people knew that this old man liked to collect all kinds of wonderful medical prescriptions in his life, but whenever he heard that there was a special prescription or an interesting case, he would tell him, so he was very well-informed in this regard. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Zuo Shaoyang used gloomy wood in Hezhou to pick up Qiao Qiaoer and Yu Shopkeeper, these two are not ordinary people, so the news spread quickly, and after Qiao Qiaoer's family moved to the capital, they also told relatives and friends about it. Later, Qiao Qiaoer's femoral head was necrotic, and the Zhen brothers all asserted that this leg was not guaranteed, and it was cured by Zuo Shaoyang, and now he can basically get rid of his crutches and walk slowly.

These two things are also strange news in the medical world, and those who know it should be said as miracles, so the three transmissions and two transmissions reached Sun Simiao's ears. So he knew both of these things.

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly said: "There is such a thing. ”

Sun Simiao's face was overjoyed, he twisted his swarthy beard, thought about it, and said: "I heard that you still have a medicine, you can't wake up after taking it, and you don't know the pain when you treat the injury, but is there such a thing?" ”

This incident is also a strange news in Hezhou, Zuo Shaoyang used the anesthetic of modern Chinese medicine anesthetic formula to configure the anesthetic, which was used to treat the patient's bone graft, which was very effective, the patient woke up, the bone had been connected, the wound had been cleaned and bandaged, and it was spread as a strange story among the military and civilians in Hezhou, and many people knew that this matter naturally reached Sun Simiao's ears through various channels, and now it is verified in person.

Zuo Shaoyang smiled, thinking that this medicine king was really well-informed, and said, "Yes, I have such a medicine." ”

Sun Simiao happily grabbed Zuo Shaoyang's arm, pulled him aside, and whispered eagerly: "Your gloomy wood bone grafting method, as well as the recipe for treating your daughter-in-law's leg disease, as well as your recipe for eating a lethargy without knowing the pain, and the method of concoction of the attached piece that you used to cure the asthma of Peng Bing, the servant of the ministry?" Will you teach me everything? Ah no, sell it to me! Whatever it takes! As he said this, his face was full of anticipation.

In the early years of Zhenguan, Sun Simiao was nearly ninety years old, he was very early because of his medical skills and was famous in China, in addition to practicing medicine when he was young, he also lived in seclusion in Taibai Mountain to learn the Tao to refine qi and maintain health, and also took into account the study of Buddhist scriptures, of course, he also carefully studied the art of longevity, which is the emperor's favorite technique, so as early as the period of Emperor Zhou Jing, he was invited to serve as a doctor of the country, but Sun Simiao was only obsessed with medicine and cultivation, and had no interest in the official career, saying that he was sick. The two emperors of the Sui Dynasty and Tang Taizong of the Tang Dynasty both wanted to find him to be an official and ask for the way of immortality, and Sun Simiao took the surname to hide in the area of Emei Mountain in Sichuan to practice medicine.

Sun Simiao had said before that if there was a virtuous monarch in the future, he could come out to do something to help the world, after Tang Taizong Li Shimin ascended the throne, he heard about it, and he boasted that he was still a wise monarch, so he issued an order to invite Sun Simiao to Beijing. Sun Simiao happily went, and since then he has lived in the capital, Li Shimin often consulted him for advice on health preservation, and benefited a lot, and wanted to make him an official, and also give him a knighthood, but Sun Simiao refused. Tang Taizong respected him even more and rewarded him with a lot of money, but he did not refuse, but almost all of them were used to buy medicine from others.

Sun Simiao especially likes to collect all kinds of folk secret recipes, as well as all kinds of new medicines, and it is not a pity to waste all his family property for this. These prescriptions were later all recorded in his books "Qianjin Yao Fang" and "Qianjin Yi Fang", and the two books recorded nearly 10,000 prescriptions combined! Most of them are folk recipes that he has collected and sorted.

The reason why he named these two books after "Qianjin" is because he believes that these prescriptions are used to save human life, and human life is more expensive than a thousand gold, so he named it "Qianjin", in fact, because many of the prescriptions in these two books were bought by him at great expense, so these prescriptions are really worth a thousand gold, so he named it after it.

Of course, Sun Simiao's own family property is not much, and the huge amount of money to buy a large number of prescriptions is not supported by his personal wealth, and he mainly relies on his own family property in the early stage, and later, after he won the respect of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin often rewarded him with a large amount of gold and silver, which made him have the ability to spend a lot of money to acquire folk experience and secret recipes.

Sun Simiao personally treated Peng Bing's asthma, because the attached tablets were toxic and could not be prepared correctly, so there was no way to increase the dosage, and the effect was very unsatisfactory. He heard that the emperor had decided to let him retire because Peng Bing was seriously ill for a long time, Sun Simiao was very guilty about this, but a few days ago, he heard that Peng Bing's illness had been cured, and he sang and ran in front of the emperor in the Jinluan Palace, and he didn't cough or breathe, he was very surprised, and he didn't believe it, so he ran to see Peng Bing in person, and sure enough, he was really surprised and happy.

It happened that Xu Yinzong also heard about it and came to visit curiously, and the two asked Peng Bing and learned that his illness turned out to be Zuo Shaoyang, the new doctor of the Southeast Medical Hall, and took Zuo Shaoyang's dispensing to see, but this appendage could not see any difference, I don't know why it can be used in excess of the dose but will not be poisoned and can cure the disease, the two discussed, and decided that Xu Yinzong would come forward to invite him to come. Unexpectedly, Zuo Shaoyang didn't come to see them in order to see a doctor for others, and the two old doctors discussed, "Come on, if you don't come, let's go." So the two of them came.

The reason why Sun Simiao was called the "King of Medicine" by later generations is because his greatest achievement is in pharmacological research, and he has devoted a lot of effort to the study of drugs, from the collection and processing of drugs to the recognition of surnames, as well as the clinical treatment of prescription drug compatibility combinations.

Now he heard that Zuo Shaoyang has so many novel prescriptions and techniques, very warm, some time ago he went to Taibai Mountain to practice, by the way to the doctor to visit, recently came back, he heard about this method, just Xu Yinzong came to him to say this Zuo Shaoyang matter, the two of them together, then invited him to come, but Zuo Shaoyang did not come because of the diagnosis, the two of them came to visit, of course, this is mainly Sun Simiao's idea, he wants to know these magic prescriptions too much. As soon as they met, they pulled Zuo Shaoyang to buy these recipes and technologies.

Zuo Shaoyang shook his head and said, "Old man, these recipes are all my ancestral secret recipes, and I can't pass them on." ”

Sun Simiao snorted: "Liar, since it is the ancestral recipe that cannot be passed on, why did you pass on the method of concocting the attached film to your Hezhou Hengchang Pharmacy?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang was even more surprised, thinking that this old man was really powerful, he knew what happened in such a remote and small place in Hezhou, smiled and said, "That's different." ”

"What's different?"

"Before the famine in Hezhou last year, I expected a famine, and in order to exchange money to buy grain to survive the famine, I sold the recipe to the old shopkeeper of Hengchang Pharmaceutical Store in Hezhou."

"If you can sell it to him, you can sell it to me!"

"No, this recipe is a monopoly, and they can only concoct this new appendage in the future, and I can't tell anyone about the recipe anymore. I have to keep my word, so I can only say I'm sorry. ”

"That's right." Sun Simiao's face was full of frustration, let go of Zuo Shaoyang, and thought for a while, "Then I will find this old shopkeeper to buy, it should be possible, right?" ”

"This should be no problem, but everyone knows that the old man, you are collecting medical prescriptions everywhere in order to write them in a book and make them known to more people in the future, then he will not make any money, so I am afraid that he will not sell them."

Sun Simiao glanced at Zuo Shaoyang strangely: "How do you know that I will make my prescription public?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang suddenly woke up to the fact that in his later years, Sun Simiao collected nearly 10,000 medical prescriptions and a large number of nearly 1,000 kinds of drugs in his life, and successively wrote two great medical masterpieces, "Qianjin Yao Fang" and "Qianjin Yifang", which represented the highest level of medicine in China and even the world at that time. He did not pass these two books on to his children and grandchildren as secrets, but spent money on the two books to publish them in a rigid manner and publish them to the world's doctors! It is precisely because of his selfless behavior that he won the love of the general public, and after his death, he erected a monument and built a temple to commemorate him. And respectfully called him the "King of Medicine".

That was decades later, Zuo Shaoyang didn't pay attention to the time, and said that he had leaked his mouth, so he hurriedly smiled and covered it up: "The younger generation heard that the old doctor Sun hung the pot to help the world, and he never cared about the sick and had no money, so the younger generation thought that with the old man's chest diameter, it was naturally not for himself to buy the prescription." Hey hey"

Sun Simiao smiled, twisted his beard and groaned for a moment, and said, "Otherwise, I'll wait for him to die of old age, and then I'll announce this recipe, it's always okay, right?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang was startled, Sun Simiao said this casually, as if he had concluded that others could not live him, and completely forgot that he himself was nearly ninety years old, and it seemed that he was already confident that he could live for eighty or ninety years, and others would not be able to live him. I couldn't help but look at Sun Simiao, and saw that his face was full of red light, his expression was radiant, his eyes were bright, his teeth did not fall out, his waist was not hunched, especially the black hair and black beard of his chin, which was brighter than that of young and middle-aged people, which looked like he was nearly 100 years old. He is only a few years younger than Xu Yinzong, but Xu Yinzong is already old.

Zuo Shaoyang thought to himself, Sun Simiao, the heirloom king of medicine, was a long-lived immortal who lived to be one hundred and sixty-five years old. Looking at him like this now, I'm afraid that this is true.

Due to the level of medical care, war, famine and other reasons, the average life expectancy of the ancients was generally low, in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, decades of war had just subsided, and the life expectancy of the population was also very low, and the data showed that it was about 28 years old. Of course, in the late Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty and the prosperous Kaiyuan Dynasty, the life expectancy of the population has been greatly improved, taking the famous work "Gift to the Eight Guards" written by the great poet Du Fu when he was 48 years old in the Kaiyuan Dynasty as an example, which writes that "visiting the old and half as a ghost", that is, half of his friends were dead at that time, so it can be concluded that the average life expectancy at that time was about 48 years old.
