The Tibetan image that Yin Changsheng said is an extremely mysterious concept, but I have also heard of it quite a bit.

When I used to live in Tashan Village, there was an old Chinese medicine doctor surnamed Xu in the village, who was quite skilled, and there were people in the village who had incurable incurable diseases, such as spondylitis and diabetes, and even the Western medicine experts in the hospitals in the big cities were helpless, so they went to the old Chinese medicine doctor, and he used some godly treatment methods, and he was able to cure people!

The weirdest and most impressive of all I have ever been, and no one will believe it even when I say it, I have seen him save people who have just died!

And the way to save people is even more ridiculous and absurd.

At that time, there was a man in our village who was greedy for a cup and drank too much wine, probably because his liver function was not good, and he couldn't get rid of the wine, so he died in bed that night, and when his family found it the next day, the body was cold.

At that time, the people in his family were crying and shouting, the man was in the prime of life, and his death was tantamount to the collapse of the pillars of the family.

And the man's father had a good relationship with the old Chinese medicine doctor surnamed Xu, and he didn't know if his brain was pumping, so he actually carried the man's body to the old Chinese medicine doctor Xu's house and asked him to see if there was a way to save him.

At that time, although the people in the village were ignorant, they had long ceased to be superstitious, and the villagers who were watching in the courtyard all said that this was nonsense, Xu Sanlong was a Chinese medicine doctor, and he was not a fucking witch doctor! How can the dead be raised.

But Xu Lao TCM really did it, in a way where superstition and science coexist.

He asked the man's family to go to the village office to borrow a generator for pumping water, and after connecting the electric switch, he connected two wires and began to poke the dead man frantically.

After carrying out a few times of this kind of rescue method that can only be found in hospitals in big cities, Xu Lao Chinese Medicine prepared a bunch of strange Chinese medicines, poured them into the man, and then clamped the energized clip on the man's toes, knelt beside the man's head, and kept muttering something in his ear.

In less than two minutes, the man really convulsed a few times, and then came back to life!

The eyes of the people in the village were about to fall, and they didn't know how Xu Sanlong did it, and he refused to say when he asked him, and in the end, the big guy comforted himself in his heart, just saying that the man was actually not dead and breathable, and let Xu Sanlong toss around blindly to save him, it doesn't count, after all, there were no ECGs and brainwave instruments in the countryside at that time, and it was not that similar things had happened before.

My sister and I were watching in the crowd at the time, and my sister quietly told me that this old Chinese medicine doctor Xu was a character, which was amazing.

I don't know why my sister said that, until later I had the honor of being a helper for that old Chinese medicine doctor for a while.

My dad also had a good relationship with Na Xu Lao TCM, and my dad thought that it would be very unproductive for me to be a hunter with my uncle, and it was better to be a teacher, doctor, and accountant, and this kind of decent and respectable profession had a future.

Since the old Chinese medicine doctor Xu has the ability, my father sent me to learn medical skills from him for a period of time.

However, I really have no interest in curing diseases and saving people, and I have been with Xu Lao Chinese Medicine for more than half a year, except for the most basic identification of herbal medicines, it can be said that I have not learned anything, and Xu Lao Chinese Medicine was also very old at that time, and soon drove to the west, and my dream of being a doctor was naturally shattered.

However, that old Chinese medicine doctor Xu is indeed the strangest person I have ever met.

He is very knowledgeable, he reads all miscellaneous books, and he is extremely proficient in any orthodox or sideways knowledge, and the theory of his main business is even more incredible.

He believed in both the scientific theories of Western medicine and the traditional theories of "superstition".

And the mysterious hidden image that Yin Changsheng said, I heard the old Chinese medicine Xu explain to me.

At that time, he came up with this concept to test me as an introductory exam.

"What are the basic contents of Chinese medicine?" Old Chinese medicine Xu asked me.

I said a lot of answers at that time, Qi Heng's intestines, meridians, qi and blood, yin and yang, and the five elements, but Xu Lao Chinese Medicine shook his head and said that it was not right.

"It's a Tibetan elephant." Xu Lao Chinese medicine said.

He told me that the "Tibetan Elephant" is the core of Chinese medicine, and the whole of the basic theory, and all the content of Chinese medicine is built around this core.

"You didn't answer the first question, but for your father's sake, I'll give you another chance, tell me, how do you understand the Tibetan elephant, and I'll give you a day to think." Xu Lao Chinese medicine said.

I first went to check the book, and then asked my extremely smart old lady, and finally gave him the answer according to the standard answer recorded in the "Su Wen" chapter of the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing".

"The heart hides the spirit, the lungs hide the qi, the liver hides the blood, the spleen hides the flesh, the kidneys hide the will, and this is formed."

"It can be seen that the Tibetan elephant is the 'five Tibets', that is, the 'five organs'!" I said confidently.

I thought my answer was absolutely correct, because this answer, which my sister also found in academic newspapers, was the exposition of a super master in the medical field of the time, and it can be said to be the absolute truth.

But after I told Old Chinese Medicine Xu this, he was so angry that he picked up a broom directly from the wall and was about to beat me!

"That's wrong! It is not the learned and unskilled who come to you foolish people! ”

I'm also a tough temper, and I retorted that this was said by a certain old medical heavyweight!

After listening to my words, the broom in the hand of Old Chinese Medicine Xu slowly fell to the ground, and his expression became depressed.

"He's a deceitful! A half-person who doesn't understand anything! His so-called "truth" of Chinese medicine theory is misinterpreted and made up to deceive you foolish people! There are many such people in this country, not only in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, but also in martial arts, Taoism, Zen Buddhism, physiognomy...... Those things that our ancestors have inherited for thousands of years will eventually be trampled into shit by these people, and in a few years, everyone in this country will not recognize the culture of their own people, and take the glory created by their ancestors as a joke! Old Chinese medicine Xu said bitterly.

I looked at the appearance of Old Chinese Medicine Xu and didn't know what to say.

"They are doing evil." Old Chinese Medicine Xu seemed to use the tremor of his soul to utter these five words, and then sat down, touching his heart with his hand, with a painful expression.

I have also heard about Xu Lao's traditional Chinese medicine before, saying that he seems to be the number one well-known expert and scholar in the medical field in the country before, but in the ten-year catastrophe many years ago, because of the more radical "ignorance and superstition, do not advocate science" charges, he was sent to our village for reform, after the catastrophe, he also voluntarily stayed in our village as a barefoot doctor, did not go back to rehabilitate himself, and sought high-ranking officials.

Mr. Xu told me that it was because he was already disappointed in everything.

"Excessive admiration of science is the biggest superstition, those people only advocate their 'science', in fact, it is just a means to paralyze the foolish people and plan for themselves, if there is really truth in the world, it should be all-encompassing, extraterrestrial life, heavenly immortals, evolution theory and ghost theory, all should coexist, so that people will no longer be afraid of everything unknown, and remain in awe of everything they have known and had." Old Chinese medicine Xu said quietly.

Although I couldn't understand what he said at the time, I felt that he really seemed to be a person from the village, a person with great wisdom in the university, and he and my sister should be quite able to talk.

Then, Xu Lao TCM explained to me what the true meaning of Tibetan elephants is.

"Just like when I was still in the academy before, I explained the method to my students, first use a microscopic metaphor to draw it out, Xiaohai, you must have played a game of hide and seek with your friends in the village when you were a child, right?" Old Chinese medicine Xu asked me.

I nodded.

The rules of the game of hide and seek are well known, several children run and hide, one child is looking for it, and in the game, the child who is suddenly looking for someone finds that the low forest in front of him is shaking violently, and he runs over and drags the child who is hiding.

Here, the child who was looking for someone did not directly see the child hiding, he only saw the small tree moving.

The movement of the tree is the elephant, the elephant of the Tibetan.

This example just opened my mind, and the real meaning of the Tibetan elephant, in the words of Xu Lao Chinese medicine, the Tibetan elephant is a system, which includes the five Tibets, meridians, and the operating principles of this system.

Because this system is not verifiable at present, cannot be seen or touched, the ancients called it "Zang", which means the system hidden behind the dissection of the five organs.

"It's hard to understand, isn't it? I can put it another way, Tibetan image, that is, the other you, your hidden self, the ancient Indian Upanishads call it "divine self", Buddhism refers to it as "divine consciousness", and we can also roughly equate it with the mythical "spirituality", that is, the soul in the general sense, but among these titles, "divine self" is the most vivid, and "Tibetan image" is the most accurate. Xu Lao Chinese medicine said.

I heard it like I was in a fog, as if I understood, and as if I didn't understand anything.

"This is also the reason why I was able to save the drunk man, after the physical death for a period of time, the Tibetan elephant will not die, the use of electric shocks and calling, can make the Tibetan elephant wake up the body again."

"I'm confused, according to what you said, where exactly does my consciousness exist? Is that who I am now? Or is it the hidden self as you call it? I asked, confused.

Old Chinese Medicine Doctor Xu laughed.

"Perhaps, you and him are completely separated, you are just his puppet body, according to shamanic theory, you are the 'horse' he rides."

I don't want to talk to Xu Lao TCM anymore, although chatting with him does give me a lot of insight and is quite interesting.

But I always felt that the more I learned from him, an unspeakable deep fear rose in my heart.

Later, I told my elder sister what Mr. Xu said, and my elder sister's expression at that time was as shocked as if she had been struck by lightning, and as frightened as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

"He would have been a person who was recorded in history and let mankind get rid of ignorance and evolve again, just like Lao Tzu in ancient China and Socrates in Greece, but this world is too ridiculous, proud of ignorance, taking brainwashing remarks as truth, and everyone buries their heads and lives with their eyes closed like ostriches." My sister said.

I fully understand my sister's words and agree with them.

And I answered the question incorrectly twice, and I didn't worship the door of Xu Lao TCM, but he also stayed with him and made him a companion.

But unfortunately, within half a year, Xu Lao TCM was bedridden and finally passed away.

When he was dying, I was at his bedside.

Xu Lao Chinese medicine is very open, and he is not afraid of death, I was still young at the time, and I did not have a life and death with my sister at that time, and I was very afraid of death.

"Grandpa Xu, where will you go after you die?" I asked

"God will come and meet me." Old Chinese medicine Xu said with a smile.

"Is there really a god in this world?"

"Yes." Old Chinese Medicine Xu nodded.

"What is that god?" I asked curiously.

"Like you, and like me, man is God, and God is man." Xu Lao Chinese medicine said.

This is probably the penultimate last sentence of Xu Lao's Chinese medicine.

To this day, I still miss him very much, if it weren't for him as an enlightenment teacher, I would be a reckless man in the mountains who is ignorant to the extreme, and can only take off his shoes and beat his wife.

I miss him so much.

And Yin Changsheng actually shed tears directly after listening to my story.

His exaggerated performance startled me.

"My tears, one is excited, I thought you were a half bucket of water, I didn't expect you to be so wise in your hands, Xue Zhongmei gave you Tianmu, sure enough, there is her reason, I originally tried to discuss with you, but now I am impressed by you, the second reason for tears is regret, the old gentleman who enlightened you to think about all this is a real wise man, but I never have the honor and opportunity to meet him, let him solve my doubts." Yin Changchang sighed.

"Actually, Grandpa Xu had one last last word before he died, which was what he really wanted to tell me." I say.
