Volume 3 Miao Jiang Insect Medicine Chapter 26 Three Souls and Seven Spirits

"Sister Phoenix, let's not hide it, we just want to find the Divine Tree to detoxify the Gu poison, I hope you can help us. Apex "Xia Ti said softly.

The phoenix sat down on the bamboo chair, stroked the flower cat and said: "You can come here, you must know a lot about the sacred tree, I can't hide it, although it is a sacred object that we three villages jointly guard, but I have never seen it, let alone know where it is." I've heard Daddy say before, more than 30 years ago, in order to avoid the plague, the tribesmen used to go to the sacred tree together, but at that time I was just one year old, and I don't remember it, and ordinary clansmen were blindfolded and were taken over, and the road to the sacred tree should only be known to the patriarchs of each village. ”

"Can you take us to your patriarch?" Xia Ti continued to ask.

"Our snake clan has strict rules, it is not easy to meet the patriarch, I need to ask the elders for instructions first, as for whether I can see the patriarch, it depends on your creation." Phoenix Road.

Da Zhuang snorted, he was worried about Hua Bo, and he was naturally very dissatisfied with such a reply.

I nodded, just now I thought of Jinshan, and then I thought of the hated frog mother-in-law, they all have one thing in common, so I asked: "Phoenix girl, take the liberty of asking, the three villages in the back mountain have always been isolated from the world, and the people in the village can't leave this back mountain, they should only speak Miao language, why are there very few people like you who can speak Chinese?" ”

Phoenix said: "Our Sanzhai clan is controlled by totems, and it is true that they can't leave this back mountain, but guests from other towns can come in, and we have not always been isolated from the world, as early as the Great Zhou Dynasty, we are under the jurisdiction of the Chu nobles Ruo Ao, if the Ao clan will send people to collect taxes every year, so the patriarch and the elder of our three villages must learn Chinese, until later Dou Yue Jiao rebelled against Chu, if the Ao clan was exterminated, we were out of jurisdiction, and rarely interacted with the outside world, but the patriarch still spoke Chinese, My grandfather was the patriarch of the previous generation, and I learned Chinese from him. ”

In this way, it is logical that Jinshan can speak Chinese, and as for the frog mother-in-law, she is a descendant of the witch doctor, and her status cannot be underestimated, so it is reasonable to be able to speak Chinese.

So, I nodded and said, "Thank you for your advice, then please ask the Phoenix girl to introduce us to the patriarch, I hope we can see the patriarch as soon as possible, and save people's lives to build a seventh-level floating slaughter!" ”

Phoenix nodded in agreement, chatted with Xia Ti for a few more words and left, leaving three sentences before leaving, first, her room is on the west side, next door to her sister's room, you can find her at any time if you have something; Second, there is some incense in the incense burner on the table, which is lit to repel insects and snakes; Third, don't go out at night.

We were concerned about Huabo, so we casually responded, and the phoenix left.

She threw down these three sentences, only the first sentence was still like that, there must be something strange about not being able to go out at night, and as for the incense, she naturally didn't dare to use it, and she couldn't wake up if she didn't get on time.

However, Da Zhuang suddenly said excitedly: "Yang Zi, can you see the dry wormwood planted in front of each house?" ”

I nodded at him.

"Quick, come with me and get some." Da Zhuang said and pulled me up and walked out.

After a while, the two of us collected all the dried wormwood from the neighborhood, returned to the residence, and Da Zhuang crushed the dried wormwood into a cotton wool shape, and then put it

It was pinched into a wormwood pillar the thickness of a thumb, lit it, and a cigarette floated out, with a smell of herbs, and Da Zhuang used this to smoke the sea of qi under Hua Bo's navel.

This wormwood is a kind of fuel from ancient times, can repel mosquitoes, moxibustion its acupuncture points, can cure diseases, the old saying goes: "Seven years of disease, seek three years of wormwood." "Besides, this sea of qi, as the name suggests, is the sea of human qi, and the true qi gathers here, and the sea of qi can be greatly replenished with this wormwood moxibustion.

Sure enough, in the evening, the situation finally changed.

Hua Bo seemed to be slowly becoming conscious, at first he only moved his hands and feet slightly, and then his eyes slowly opened, but his eyes were always in a state of confusion.

"Master, Warber, Warber, can you hear me? ......" the crowd kept calling.

After a long time, Hua Bo nodded slightly, and then fell asleep again.

At this time, it was already dark, looking down from the window, there were still three or two villagers on the street rushing home, the silversmith's shop opposite was also closed, two young men were on the door panel, the stuffy air had not yet dissipated, occasionally there were a few cicadas, and the crying of children.

The location of the phoenix home should be regarded as a highland in the village, so look at it, the field of vision is excellent, at this time the lights are on, wonderful and peaceful, like a paradise outside the world, and I seem to be in the blue sea in the painting boat, floating to the sky.

I was fascinated, stupidly standing by the window and intoxicated for most of the hour, until Xia Ti called me to come back to my senses, thinking about what the phoenix said, "Don't go out at night", self-defeating, purely alarmist, I wanted to go out to see what's wrong, but after all, I was not familiar with life, and I couldn't go out to wander around without anything, so I nibbled on a few mouthfuls of dry food and slept.

The next morning, Waber was much more awake, but he was still very weak, and he was pale at the head of the bed, but he had recovered his senses, drank some water, and listened to us tell him what had happened after he had fallen unconscious.

Hua Bo was powerless to speak, just nodded frequently, he is a person who can put life and death out of the way, and he is not afraid when he hears that he still has the eggs of the scarab in his body, of course, I still comfort him and say that the divine tree can remove this egg, so that he does not have to worry.

Xia Ti took out the copper bell and shook it, pretending to be excited, and comforted Hua Bo that the scarab in his body had been sealed in the copper bell, and that part of Hua Bo's lost soul was devoured by this worm, but he didn't know how to make it spit it out and return it.

Hua Bo listened to Xia Ti's words and smiled slightly, and glanced at Da Zhuang again, Da Zhuang also smiled meaningfully, and proudly told us what "three souls and seven spirits" are.

There is a cloud in the "Book of Rites": the soul returns to the sky, and the form returns to the earth. This is the Tao, since ancient times the same medicine and Taoism, but the concept of all things is different, the sky is yang, that is, the day; The earth belongs to yin, that is, night, but "soul" and "qi" are different.

We who practice medicine think that the soul is only the ability of the person himself, the soul is the power of the day, and the spirit is the power of the night.

The so-called three souls are: one is the fetal light, the second is the cool spirit, and the third is the ghost. The main god of fetal light, that is, the spirit of man; Refreshing and intellectual, including people's thoughts, consciousness and wisdom, etc.; The ghost spirit is the ** and ability to procreate. Therefore, healthy people have a clear mind and wisdom during the day, as well as a ** for sex.

The so-called seven spirits are: one spirit swallows the thief, and the second spirit corpse

Dogs, three spirits to remove filth, four spirits to stink lungs, five spirits to sparrow yin, six spirits to non-poisonous, seven spirits to lie arrows. Corresponding to the seven abilities that you have when you sleep at night, this is more obscure, just say that this swallowing thief, the thief is a false evil thief, but here it can be interpreted as devouring all bad aliens, for example, sometimes it is okay to sleep after being cold by the wind, that is, the thief swallowing is working.

The so-called corpse dog, corpse refers to the person who has lost consciousness and consciousness when he is asleep, but the dog can still "watch the house", that is, the sleeping person still has vigilance to the outside world, for example, the assassin sneaks into the bedroom at night to assassinate, facing the sleeping person, it is easy to get his hand, but often in the moment of raising the knife, the person will immediately wake up, if the person who reaches out will immediately react and escape.

In addition to filth, the body will discharge a lot of waste when sleeping, such as eye feces, ear feces or oil dirt on the body, etc., children excrete the most vigorous, the older they get, the weaker they will become, and when they wake up in old age, there will be little or no eye feces and ear feces, which is the reason why this spirit gradually weakens.

Stinky lungs, the day is clear, the night is turbid, that is, the breath at night is called the stinky lungs, if the breath is not smooth, snoring is this weak.

For example, men will produce sperm at night, and they will have morning erections when they get up early, while women have more vaginal discharge.

Xia Ti's face was red and his ears were red, but Da Zhuang didn't realize it and continued to speak.

Sixth, non-poisonous, the so-called poison is "wind, cold, summer, dampness, dryness and heat", these six evils are also evil things on the body, and sleeping at night has the effect of removing these things.

And this arrow is mainly consciousness, "joy, anger, worry, sorrow, fear, and fright" these are the reason for this spirit, and the arrow is the life, it is extremely important, and the head of the three souls corresponds to the fetal light day and night, this soul and a spirit are controlled, people will become puppets, and the walking dead have no self.

However, these three souls and seven spirits are only the abilities of the human body, and the ones called "souls" during the day and "spirits" at night are just a name for nothingness, and the so-called devouring souls only block these abilities of people.

Da Zhuang's explanation is true and I am a little impressed, don't look at this guy who usually makes mistakes, but when it comes to medical skills, he is never ambiguous, if he takes time, he must be a generation of famous doctors.

After hearing this, Xia Ti pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Wu, you mean that this scarab devouring soul is completely false, so why would this insect turn a living person into a walking corpse in just two hours after entering the body?" ”

Hua Bo replied in a weak voice: "I think it should be 'qi', and the theory of anger through heaven says: 'The husband who has been through heaven since ancient times, the foundation of life, is based on yin and yang. Between heaven and earth, within **, its qi Kyushu nine orifices, five Tibetan twelve sections, all through the weather, its birth five, its qi three. 'Weather is everything. Scarab must be able to quickly consume people's Yuan Yang qi, two hours to exhaust it, Lao Ziyun: 'All things negative yin and embrace yang, impulse to think of harmony', the importance of qi, through a hundred veins, exhaustion of a hundred veins, people will die undoubtedly. I was because of acupuncture and moxibustion, protecting the vitality, only to hold on for a few more hours, barely died, and with wormwood moxibustion qi sea, this is holding my life, but now the vitality is injured eighty percent, but it is okay, if you can survive this catastrophe, you will be fine after a period of cultivation. ”
