Chapter 26 Exchanges and Lectures (Part II)

In the early morning, the birds chirp crisply in the branches, and Mu Feng wakes up leisurely. I returned to Yuan's Mansion last night, because Mu Feng was invited to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony. The crowd was silent all night. Mu Feng went back to his room to read the book, and then thought about what to say at the ceremony, so he slept later than usual. However, he entered the Taoist realm from the stream, Mu Feng felt that his mind was more condensed afterwards, and his body and mind gradually became consistent.

Since then, Mu Feng has felt that in some states, there is no difference between sleeping and not sleeping. Last night, Mu Feng entered a wonderful state of mind, without thinking or thinking, and felt absolute purity and peace. This morning, the sound of birds came to his ears, and Mu Feng "woke up" from that wonderful situation.

After a while, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door. Then, the door was slammed, and then, Qingluan's crisp voice came: "Brother Mufeng, get up." Hurry up, hurry up, let's go to the Medicine King Hall to eat something delicious. Mu Feng responded: "Okay, I'm already up, you go to find Xiaoya, and we'll go to the Medicine King Palace together." ”

Not long after Qingluan left, Xiao Qi, who was in charge of taking care of Mu Feng, came over with toiletries: "Childe, today's ancestor worship ceremony in the Medicine King Palace, you are attending as a distinguished guest, are there any requirements for dress?" Mu Feng was stunned, his clothes were only clean and comfortable on weekdays, but he didn't care much about the specific shape. If it weren't for Xiao Qi mentioning it today, Mu Feng would have planned to attend in his clothes.

Mu Feng said with some embarrassment: "Little Seventh Brother, I didn't bring a dress with me. Xiao Qi took over the conversation and said: "Childe, don't worry, the second master of the house has prepared a dress for the son, son, please wash up first, wait a while, Xiao Qi will go to get it for the son." As soon as Mu Feng finished washing, Xiao Qi brought a set of black dresses and boots.

As soon as Mu Feng took the dress, Yuan Qingshan came over wearing a dark blue dress: "Brother Mu Feng, this is what I prepared for you, you can change it and take a look." Mu Feng said: "Thank you Second Brother Yuan, if it weren't for the second brother's carefulness, the younger brother would be abrupt today." Yuan Qingshan said: "It's a trivial matter, why worry about it? ”

Mu Feng changed his dress and followed Yuan Qingshan to the front hall, and saw that Xiaoya and Qingluan were both wearing dresses. When Qingluan saw Mu Feng coming, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Brother Mu Feng, you see that I am wearing new clothes, I look so good." As he spoke, he looked at Mu Feng again, and then said, "Wow, Brother Mu Feng also looks good." "Mu Feng was originally very delicate, but after wearing this dress, he had the handsomeness and chic of a young man. Mu Feng said: "It's still Qingluan good-looking, like a little fairy." Xiao Ya said: "Little fairy? This is a fresh statement, fairy, elegant and smart, and there is no dispute with the world." I like it, I'm also a little fairy, hahaha... ”

In the morning, we didn't prepare for breakfast, and everyone drank some honeydew as a sign of respect. Today's ceremony is very grand, and the whole process takes a long time. The reason why the ancients fasted and bathed during grand ceremonies was not only sincerity and righteousness, but also in order to sense the accidents of the underworld. There is also the need to empty the intestines, so as not to leave in the middle of the ceremony due to urgent matters, after all, people have three urgencies.

Qingluan was greedy, so he took some candied fruit and preserved fruit to eat. Children participate in the ceremony to see the excitement, and do not need to participate in the whole process. In the past, Xu Tianqing attended on behalf of the Yuan family, but since Yuan Qingshan was crowned as an adult, Yuan Qingshan attended. Unless there is a ceremony once every ten years, Yuan Qinglei will bring the Xuanjia Army to escort him, and by the way, most of them do not need to be specially brought forward by the head of the family.

A group of four people rushed to the venue before the ceremony, and Yuan Qingshan and Mu Feng watched the ceremony in the VIP seat. Xiaoya took Qingluan to the east and west. As the sound of the golden bell was transmitted to the entire main hall, everyone quieted down and looked at the master of ceremonies standing in front of the right side of the main hall.

The master of ceremonies glanced at the entire hall and said: "In the next Zhongxing, Xi is the master of ceremonies for this ceremony, and on behalf of the Medicine King Palace, I welcome all guests to attend the ceremony." The good day has arrived, and the ceremony has officially begun. As the master of ceremonies announced the start of the ceremony, the sound of Jin Sheng and Yu Zhen rang out in an orderly manner. It was the first time for Mu Feng to participate in such a ceremony, and when he listened to the music, he felt that the entire hall was filled with a solemn and solemn atmosphere.

After the music, the master of ceremonies straightened his demeanor and said: In ancient times, Shennong's tasted a hundred herbs and blessed a thousand years. Xuanyuan's distinguish all kinds of diseases, and favor all generations. All beings are free from suffering and are different from beasts. The health of the human body begins with the feeling of the netherworld. Inherit the legacy of the ancestors, and future generations must not be ungrateful. Today, we should know that the inheritance of our ancestors is not easy, and we should also carry forward the sincerity of the great doctor. Below, please invite the old priest, Xu Tianfang and Mo Fengyang...

The whole worship process lasted three hours. All the adult students in the Medicine King Hall are standing on the side. During this period, some people find this formalization process tedious and boring, but others appreciate the deep meaning of each step of the festival. The worship of the sages is like communicating with them through time and space, because some spirits are included in the inheritance, and these spirits enabled the ancients to communicate with the heavens and the earth, and to perceive the popularity of the Great Dao.

From ancient times to the present, no matter how human society changes, some spirits have always existed, but they are hidden and difficult to find when they are in the dark, and they only appear in the Qingming Dynasty. Once someone understands these eternal spirits that do not change with the times, then they will be able to achieve themselves and become one with heaven and earth. The existence of the festival is not only a remembrance, but also a manifestation of inheritance.

Mu Feng followed Grandpa Baicao to learn medicine, and naturally knew Shennong's and Xuanyuan's. It's just that I have never participated in such a festival. After experiencing this, he thought of Grandpa Baicao, and Grandpa Baicao's words and deeds to him invisibly infected him. In this festival, he can also appreciate the importance of inheritance, and also yearn for the realm of unity between heaven and man.

The unity of heaven and man in the medical Tao is not only a kind of physical and mental harmony with heaven and earth, but also in the perception of the medical Tao: everything in the world cannot be used in medicine, but the use of the method needs to be explored. Shennong's tasting of herbs is a kind of exploration, the Yellow Emperor understands yin and yang, and then understands the changes in yin and yang in the human body, which is also an exploration, and Mu Feng wants to do this kind of thing. He also wanted to follow in the footsteps of the sages and understand the mysteries of heaven and earth.

After the festival, the guests left the table, and everyone feasted and said goodbye to each other. In the afternoon, it is the annual teacher's lecture, the big class of the disciples, according to the past practice, Ren Tiantian and Xu Tianfang, Mo Fengyang, the three medicine kings will not participate, and other high-grade or middle-grade pharmacists in the Medicine King Hall will solve the doubts of the disciples.

After all, the content of Yaowang's lecture may be too profound, and some pharmacology, if there is no certain accumulation of theory and practice, may be a blessing or a curse for ordinary students. As for the pharmacology that all students can understand and learn, whether it is a medicine king or a pharmacist, everyone is similar.

In the afternoon, the three medicine kings of the Medicine King Hall did not leave, because what they talked about today is no longer limited to pharmacology, but more about medical science, and the medicine king may have some understanding of medical science, but the pharmacist and the students only focus on pharmacology and alchemy. According to ancient legends, there is not only a pill formula, but also a way to cure diseases and drive away evil spirits and prolong life.

It's just that with the pursuit of ultimate power by human beings, medical theory has gradually been neglected, which can be said to be the same as the proposition of today's traditional Chinese medicine to save medicine and waste medicine. Of course, it is not excluded that some people pay attention to the inheritance of medical Taoism, but most pharmacists do not understand medical science.

In today's big class, basically all the students in the Medicine King Hall came, and even most of the students and pharmacists who no longer needed to participate in the big class came. The big class has always been the first to evaluate this year's outstanding students, and then it is the time for teachers to give lectures and students to ask questions. According to the length of enrollment and whether the annual assessment is passed, students are divided into four levels: heaven, earth, Xuan and Huang.

Students who pass the heaven-level assessment can register as pharmacists in the Medicine King Hall and be issued relevant certificates. Students who have been enrolled for one year can participate in the assessment of the yellow level, and as long as they pass the assessment, they can be promoted to the Xuan level, and those who do not pass the assessment will still be the yellow level. In addition to the promotion assessment, there is also an annual assessment, and the annual assessment is only carried out between the grades.

Although the students do not have to pay fees, they take care of their own food and housing, and they need to undertake the corresponding tasks issued by the Medicine King Palace according to their different levels. These tasks are related to daily life and learning. For example, because Liu Zixuan's family is poor, he was assigned to the pharmacy under the Medicine King Palace as an apprentice as soon as he entered the Medicine King Palace.

With his studies in the pharmacy, Liu Zixuan also learned about medicinal materials and corresponding pharmacology. After a one-year apprenticeship in the pharmacy, Liu Zixuan passed the assessment of the Yellow Order, and then studied in the Medicine King Palace, because of the study in the medicine shop, the daily help of the Medicine King Palace to take and sort out the medicinal materials is enough for Liu Zixuan's daily expenses in the Medicine King Palace. Although it is hard to work in the Medicine King Palace, they have learned more things, and Xuan level students can also borrow some books from the Medicine King Palace Library Building.

Therefore, a year later, Liu Zixuan passed the relatively difficult Xuanjie assessment. After entering the ground level, you can follow the pharmacist of the Medicine King Palace, and at this time, Liu Zixuan has been calculated to be outstanding among the students of the Medicine King Palace, so after Liu Zixuan passed the ground level exam and entered the heavenly level, the medicine king Xu Tian conveniently accepted Liu Zixuan as an apprentice. As you pass the higher the assessment level, your daily life is not only no longer poor, but rich.

Liu Zixuan has been studying with Xu Tianfang for three years, and although he has referred to the annual assessment in the past three years, he has not participated in the Tianjie assessment, and it is said that he is preparing to participate in the pharmacist assessment. Liu Zixuan's attainments in refining pills have surpassed some low-grade pharmacists. Everyone unanimously agreed that Liu Zixuan's becoming a pharmacist was already a sure thing.

Each level of the annual assessment is divided into A, B, C, and D, and the top ten students in the first class can get the subsidy from the Medicine King Palace. Among this year's outstanding students, Liu Zixuan is still the first place in the first class among the heaven-level students, and the rich kid who asked Liu Zixuan after the assessment won the tenth place in the first class of yellow-level students, and when he heard that he was the tenth in the first class, he was so excited that he almost cried.

After the outstanding students finished reading out, Ren Lao walked up to the podium and looked at everyone with a smile and suddenly asked, "What is the pill?" Everyone was stunned, isn't the pill made with specific medicinal materials and has a certain purpose? Everyone didn't understand how Ren Lao, as the king of medicine, didn't know what the pill was. Ren naturally saw that everyone was stunned at first, and then looked at himself in some surprise and confusion.

So he slowly spoke: "Take the essence of all things and build the foundation of the body." "If everyone realizes that the pill is indeed the essence of all things, people only consume the pill to improve their physical fitness at some special moments. Ren naturally took out a Ningshen Pill from his arms, only to see that the pill slowly floated and then silently turned into powder and floated, and then the powder condensed into a pill. Xu and Mo, who were present, were shocked when they saw this scene, and then left the table and said, "Congratulations to Shizun (Ren Lao) for entering the Imperial Qi Realm!"

The pill can be suspended in the general qi gathering realm, and the pill can not be smashed in an instant, and the shattered pill can be intact again, it must be a means above the Gang realm. Everyone was surprised and amazed when they saw Yao Lao revealing such a realm. Everyone knew that the city lord was a master of the Huagang Realm, and they also knew that the medicine king must have strong force. However, in a city like Sunset City, the Imperial Qi Realm is only heard of, and it is difficult to see it with one's own eyes.

Ren Lao waved his hand and said: "By chance, there was a breakthrough, thanks to Mu Feng Xiaoyou." After speaking, he bowed to Mu Feng. Mu Feng quickly got up and saluted back: "Let the old man accumulate a lot of hair, how dare the kid take credit." Mu Feng saw Ren Lao's methods just now, and roughly guessed that Ren Lao's breakthrough was indeed related to himself.

Mu Feng can be regarded as reading a lot of books during this time, but the more he reads, the more he feels that people's lifestyle and cultivation are lacking now, and he relies too much on pills and external forces. He is born as the spirit of all things, and the treasures of his body cannot be developed. If the qualifications are limited, it is difficult to reach the peak no matter how many foreign things are embezzled.

By Grandpa Baicao's side, Mu Feng was influenced to make the best use of things rather than strange goods. No matter how difficult it is to pick, no matter how precious the medicinal herbs are, once someone needs them, Grandpa Baicao will ask Mu Feng to take the medicine. Grandpa Baicao often said: "The things in the world are taken by people, and you must be content to be a person. ”

Ren Nature's achievements today are inseparable from his own understanding and qualifications, but if he does not realize himself in order to correspond to heaven and earth, it will be difficult to break through the realm and enter the imperial qi. Ren Nature, as the king of medicine, was approaching the end of his life, and during the time he got along with Mu Feng, his understanding of the gains and losses of himself and foreign objects became more and more transparent. There is a breakthrough in the state of mind, and then the state of mind also breaks through.

The lifespan of a person who enters the Imperial Qi Realm will be greatly extended, and the average martial artist has about two Jiazi lifespans under the Imperial Qi Realm, and nearly five Jiazi can have a lifespan if they break through the Imperial Qi Realm. The Imperial Qi Realm has the ability to fly into the sky, which is the starting point of being free in the world. When they first enter the Imperial Qi Realm, they generally travel through the world in order to go further. Therefore, after Tang Tianyuan's uncle entered the Imperial Qi Realm, he traveled far away. Not surprisingly, Ren naturally explained everything clearly in Sunset City and traveled far away in the world.

Today's manifestation realm cultivation is mainly for the purpose of attracting everyone. Ren Nature said: "If you don't train your body and mind, it will be difficult to break through the transformation into the imperial qi." Our generation of pharmacists has always been mainly engaged in alchemy, and among all the practitioners, they rely on external objects the most, and they also attach the most importance to external objects. I attach too much importance to the elixir, and I am too proud of my identity as a pharmacist. Distinguishing oneself from the general public is not self-exile? There is no difference between us as pharmacists and woodcutters in the mountains, and you should think deeply and reflect on it. ”

A junior disciple had always been proud of being a pharmacist, so he got up and asked, "Master, the glory of a pharmacist is bestowed by everyone in the world, and everyone in the world, whether ordinary people or cultivators, need pills to nourish their bodies. Although this junior disciple didn't say it explicitly, the implication was that as a pharmacist, it was indeed very remarkable, and the effect of the pill was also very huge. I was puzzled by the ancestor's belittling of the pharmacist and the pill.

Ren naturally smiled: "What you said is good, but it is not transparent enough." The world values the pharmacist and the elixir because of what they want, there is nothing right or wrong about this, but they just take the things of the world for their own use. However, the pharmacist must not be self-respecting because of this, nor should he have the idea of being distracted because he can help others to make alchemy. What a pharmacist takes and gives when he helps others to make alchemy should also be like a transaction of goods in the world, and should be equal in amount and equal value in order to seek fairness and justice, so as to calm one's own heart and be worthy of others. The disciple couldn't let go of his pride as a pharmacist for a while, and he was a little confused. After hearing the truth that Yao Lao said, the two medicine kings of Xu and Mo all got up and saluted: "Thank you Shizun (Shizu, Ren Lao) for your guidance." ”

Ren naturally smiled slightly and said, "Mu Feng Xiaoyou, what do you think?" Mu Feng got up and said: "Ren Lao instructs, the kid is taught." Determine the distinction between inside and outside, distinguish the realm of honor and disgrace, and then seek the freedom of not waiting for things. Ren naturally laughed and said: "Xiaoyou summed it up very well, and I can only experience the connection between the gains and losses of foreign objects and honor and disgrace after entering the Imperial Qi Realm." Mu Feng said: "Ren Lao, you are the first to say what you say, you can be described as a true person. As for the younger generation, it is too far behind. You have to be able to do what you can say. ”

The more Ren naturally looked at Mu Feng, the happier he became: This little friend is really transparent, and his insights at a young age are not much better than those of me, a centenarian. What's even more rare is that understanding of things, what a little monster. Ren naturally said: "Let me introduce to you, this Mufeng little friend is my New Year's friend." The knowledge and talent are very good. Inviting him here today is to teach medicine. You should cherish this opportunity. ”

As soon as Ren naturally finished speaking, he saw that the city lord and the heads of all the families in the city had come to the palace. Tang Tianyuan walked into the hall and arched his hand: "Congratulations to Elder Ren for entering the Imperial Qi Realm." After that, everyone arched their hands and said: "Congratulations to Elder Ren for entering the Imperial Qi Realm." Ren naturally got up and greeted: "Thank you to the city lord and all the family masters, please take a seat." "Seeing the arrival of the city lord and all the family heads, someone has already taken a seat.

After everyone took their seats, Tang Tianyuan said: "Today, I am too late to wait, I am very sorry, I hope that Ren Lao will give me more advice." Ren naturally stroked his beard and said, "The city lord is humble, and I am here to listen to the lecture today." Mu Feng Xiaoyou started to talk about medicine today to distinguish the difference between the root and the end of medicine. You are not too late to come. Mu Feng Xiaoyou has not yet started. Mu Feng got up and said, "The kid is scared, how dare he talk nonsense in front of the elders." ”

Mu Feng had some slander in his heart: Ren Lao values himself so much, I'm afraid it's too much. Ren naturally said: "Xiaoyou, it seems that you are not confident enough, you and I get along for a long time, and every time I talk to Xiaoyou, I have gained, you just say what you think, don't worry too much." ”

Mu Feng saw that Ren naturally swore that he believed in himself more than himself, so he had to go to power at the moment. After coming to the stage, Mu Feng first bowed to the elders, and then bowed to the students. Then he said: "The last boy, a little medical Tao, today on the stage, not a lecture, willing to learn from you, there is a way to argue without arguing, please do not hesitate to teach, thank you in advance." Then he made a move.

"Since Shennong's verbena wood, I have tasted all kinds of herbs, and I know the nature of peace, temperature, poison and cold. The world can take the essence of all things for their own use without harm, since ancient times medicine and food are of the same origin, there is no difference, the difference is only in the function, the amount of use. If you eat five grains every day to replenish the five qi of the human body, if you don't eat, you will be hungry, the human body will be weak, and it will be difficult to live for a long time. However, excessive consumption can also cause illness. What the healer does is to conform to the yin and yang of heaven and earth, and reconcile the yin and yang of the human body. If you have more, you will take it, and if you have less, you will not be able to do it or not enough. Realize the intersection of yin and yang, only then can we know the beginning of building the foundation, and through this, we can understand the avenue in order to seek longevity. The way of medicine, the upper one cures the disease, the middle one cures the disease, and the lower one cures the disease. In the next from the ancestors to learn medicine, the first to look up and look down, distinguish the four seasons of cold and heat, the second to check the yin and yang of the human body, smooth the qi and blood profit and loss. The third is to distinguish the physical properties of the herbs in order to reconcile the balance of the human body. The medicine is divided to make up for the discharge, and the profit and loss of the human body can be determined, or the supplement or leakage should be determined by medical theory......"

Mu Feng was about to continue to talk about his experience in practicing medicine, when suddenly a voice came: "Boastful, how can you prove that what you said is right? I wait for the pharmacist to make alchemy to cure diseases, why do we need to talk about so many vain things?" Everyone suddenly heard a discordant voice, and they all turned their heads to look at the source of the sound. When the man saw that all eyes were on him, some angry and some surprised... He shrunk his neck and puffed up his chest again, looking confident.

That person is the son of the Jia family, Jia Shixun who made things difficult for Liu Zixuan in the square. Seeing that his juniors were so ignorant, the head of the Jia family was a little ashamed and said, "I'm sorry to disturb Brother Mufeng's class." Then he turned to Jia Shixun angrily and said, "If you don't learn and don't have skills, you won't retreat!" and then said to Mu Feng: "What Brother Mu Feng said is deeply inspiring to me, please continue." ”

Mu Feng waved his hand and said: "The head of the Jia family is too worried, I said before that this time I am on stage only to learn from you, and I also ask you for more advice." It is also common for Jia Gongzi to have doubts. The medical Tao is broad and profound, and it is not just a matter of words. Besides, it is better to sit and talk than to get up and act, you are all knowledgeable people, and what you have learned should be put into practice. Since Jia Gongzi had doubts about the function of medicine, he proposed to go to the city for free treatment. What do you think of Jia Gongzi treating the patient together with Zaixia?"

Ren Lao laughed and said: "It's good to apply what you have learned, Mu Feng Xiaoyou is really amazing." Tianyuan, what do you think?" Tang Tianyuan glanced at Mu Feng deeply, and thought in his heart: It is really her blessing that my family Li'er can worship Brother Mu Feng as a teacher. At that moment, he said to Ren Nature: "Elder Ren, Tian Yuan thinks that Brother Mu Feng's proposal is very good, and he has thanked the two of the patients in the city in this early generation. ”

The city lord invited his subordinates to whisper, and his subordinates left. Mu Feng didn't continue to talk anymore, waiting for the next free clinic in the city. Everyone is whispering, and what Mu Feng said today is really unheard of. The people of the present world have been inherited by the ancients, and they have thought and acted. But have you ever wondered why the inheritance was born in the first place, and where should it be used after it was inherited by the ancients?

Before his death, Grandpa Baicao asked Mu Feng to swear that he should have the heart of helping the world and not be harmed by life, which is where Mu Feng inherited the inheritance of Grandpa Baicao. If some students feel that pharmacists should be superior and should be respected, and that their inheritance is used for personal gain, they will be biased in this way. Ignoring medical science, focusing only on refining medicine, and pursuing the ultimate force are also biased, which is deviated from the original intention of the inheritance left by Shennong's taste of herbs. Everyone has different realms and different desires, so they have different opinions about what Mu Feng said.

After a while, a subordinate came back to report, and everything was ready. Tang Tianyuan got up and said, "Please go to the Medicine King Hall Square with you, everything is ready." Everyone followed Tang Tianyuan to the square, only to see that a simple pavilion had been erected in the square twice, and there were two sets of tables and chairs in the middle of the square, and there were various medicinal materials and pots for refining pills in the medicine cabinet behind the tables and chairs.

Tang Tianyuan got up and said, "Today, I found some patients in the pharmacies in the city, and two of them had the same symptoms, both external injuries and internal problems. Please Ren Lao and Xu, Mo and the two medicine kings presided over the commentary, and the Mu Feng brothers and the Jia family each treated a group of patients. Mu Feng arched his hand and said: "The city lord has a heart, without further ado, the treatment is important, Jia Gongzi, please." Jia Shixun and Mu Feng walked to the table and chair respectively, and then a patient with the same condition came to the square.

These patients were waiting to be treated at various pharmacies in the city, but they heard that there were pharmacists in the Medicine King Hall who provided free consultations. He voluntarily came to ask the master of the Medicine King Hall to treat his illness. The group of patients, aged about 50, walked stiffly, and one of them pressed his hand to his abdomen. The two of them couldn't help but cringe a little when they saw that some of the familiar people on both sides of the square were distinguished figures from famous families in the city, and their status as they wanted to sit at the same table must be not bad. Xu and Mo came to the two patients to carefully probe the symptoms, and then looked at each other and said, "These two patients have the same symptoms, and they are not very different. Then arranged for the two to walk to Mu Feng and Jia Shixun's table.

Jia Shixun sat down and asked, "Where is it uncomfortable?...... Mu Feng smiled and said, "Uncle don't be cramped, please relax." The patient smiled softly when he saw Mu Feng, and then looked at the young man in front of him with clear eyebrows and clear and friendly eyes. I slowly relaxed my shoulders and sat down in the chair.

Mu Feng saw that the patient was no longer nervous, so he spoke: "May I ask the eldest uncle's surname, this year's Guigeng?" The patient said: "The son is polite, the old man's surname is Zhang." It's fifty-three this year" Mu Feng said: "Uncle Zhang, where are you uncomfortable?......" Mu Feng had just calmed the patient here, and Jia Shixun began to choose medicine and alchemy. Seeing that Mu Feng was still greeting the patient, he couldn't help but feel a little proud: Hmph, what kind of medical way? I really don't know how to get the blue eyes of Ren Lao and the city lord.

Mu Feng was not in a hurry when he was treating people, he was focused and serious, and he was closing his eyes and checking his pulse at the moment. After a few breaths, Mu Feng opened his eyes and said: "Uncle usually makes a living from mining, right?" The old man surnamed Zhang said: "How did the son know? ”

Mu Feng walked over with a smile, picked up the trouser leg of the old man surnamed Zhang, pressed the red and swollen knee slightly with his fingers, and then said: "Uncle has red and swollen knees, I just saw that you were stiff when walking, I think it was a knee joint injury, I just took the pulse, and found that your stomach meridian was damaged, and if you think that eating and drinking a little bit will cause stomach pain." Although you are fifty and three, you have strong muscles and thick fingers. Engage in heavy physical labor on a daily basis. Just took your pulse and found that you have black dust in your fingernails. On weekdays, I endured the pain to open a mine and back a mine, but today it must be painful, so I came to the city for treatment. ”

The old man was dumbfounded, and then said: "What the son said is very true, this year's daughter-in-law gave birth to a fat boy, I want to take advantage of my strength to save more money, so that my grandson can read and write in the future, maybe he can get ahead." How do you think that today's knee pain is unbearable, my son and daughter-in-law are filial, and my son accompanied Brother Li next door to the city to see a doctor. ”

Mu Feng said: "Uncle is so blessed, but you cure the disease, keep your health and don't worry the younger generations, plant some vegetables and fruits at home, and bring your grandchildren, isn't it also good? The old man surnamed Zhang laughed and said: "What the son said is right, I will grow and sell vegetables in the future, and it is good to bring my grandson, hahaha..." ”

Mu Feng laughed together: "That's right." After speaking, Mu Feng began to treat. First of all, he used needles to dredge the meridians and relieve pain, and then he took different medicinal materials from the medicine cabinet at the back, and called the logistics staff to take different colors of paper and wrapped more than a dozen medicinal materials. Then he asked for clean water and a crockpot from the charcoal stove, and began to decoction the medicine. Jia Shixun began to concoct medicinal materials and grind them into powder for Dan.

After a while, Mu Feng decocted into two parts of medicine, one was like water, and the other was as viscous as honey. Mu Feng took two bowls of medicine and said to the old man surnamed Zhang: "Uncle Zhang, the medicine wrapped in yellow paper, add three bowls of water and boil it slowly over low heat after you go back, and boil the three bowls into one bowl orally." With that, he handed over the bowl of medicine and asked him to take it. Mu Feng continued: "This bowl of medicine is mainly to nourish the stomach and open the spleen, pay more attention to diet in the future, and eat less raw and cold things." ”

After Zhang Laohan took the bitter potion, Mu Feng picked up the thick honey-like medicinal juice, took a piece of wood and applied the medicinal juice to the old man's red and swollen knees. The old man didn't shirk either, and asked Mu Feng to help apply the medicine with a grateful face, and the medicine on his knees only felt cool and comfortable, and the pain was reduced by a few points. Mu Feng said while applying the medicine: "The medicinal medium heat in the red paper bag, add two bowls of water to decoction into a paste, it has the effect of invigorating blood and eliminating blood stasis, dehumidifying and dissolving inflammation. ”

Mu Feng has just finished applying the medicine here. Jia Shixun also practiced pills and was preparing to let the old man surnamed Li take it. Seeing this, Mu Feng said, "Wait!" Jia Shixun stopped his movements and looked over with a puzzled expression. Mu Feng said: "Wait a minute, Gongzi Jia, please let me ask Uncle Li first." "Uncle Li, you pay more attention to health than Uncle Zhang, this disease fell when you were young, right?"

Li Laohan said: "Yes, this son is right. My family background is slightly better than Brother Zhang, but when I was young, I was the same as Brother Zhang. This knee disease also fell at that time, like the pill in the hand of this son, I also took it, and my knee didn't hurt anymore after eating, but it didn't get better. Jia Shixun said: "What do you know about this old man in the mountains, my elixir can strengthen muscles and bones, and the city defenders only have one per month, can you eat it?"

When Li Laohan saw Jia Shixun's reprimand, he didn't dare to say anything more. At this time, a middle-aged man watching next to him spoke: "This pill is a tiger bone pill?" Jia Shixun said proudly: "Yes! This is also the first pharmacist-level pill I have refined." The middle-aged man said, "I am the shopkeeper of Xicheng Jirentang, and Li Laohan did buy Tiger Bone Pill from me." Jia Shixun was speechless at the moment, and then turned his head and asked Mu Fengdao, "Do you have any advice?"

Mu Feng said: "Tiger bone pill is made of tiger bone powder as the main material, supplemented by rehmannia and a trace amount of poppy powder, although it has the effect of strengthening muscles and bones, promoting qi and blood, but poppy powder has the effect of anesthetizing nerves, and should not be eaten more. Although this pill can relieve the swelling and pain for a while, it is difficult to cure the injury of the knee. "When Elder Ren came closer, all the heads of the family also came around.

Ren Lao carefully probed Li Laohan's knee and then said: "Mu Feng Xiaoyou is right, Brother Li's injury is not a sudden swelling caused by weak muscles and bones, and excessive external force. Tiger Bone Pill really can't be cured. Ren Lao made up his mind, and everyone was convinced, and even Jia Shixun no longer defended.

Mu Feng picked up the wrapped red paper bag and handed it to Li Laohan in half and said, "Uncle, I have already weighed the amount of this medicine, you and Uncle Zhang each take half of it, and decoction the medicine according to the method I said." Once a day, it will heal after a month. During this period, you can pay attention to self-cultivation, but use too much force. ”

After this example, everyone has a new understanding of Mu Feng. Although Jia Shixun was willing to bow down, Mu Feng did not stop treating the rest of the patients, and everyone was watching how Mu Feng diagnosed and treated. After the treatment, the shopkeeper of Jirentang came to ask Mu Feng for a prescription for knee arthritis.

The rest of the onlookers came to ask Mu Feng for prescriptions, and most of the patients who volunteered were also from these pharmacies. Mu Feng did not refuse to come to this, not only that, but also talked in detail about the decoction methods of each prescription and the main symptoms. There are not too many contraindications in these prescriptions, so Mu Feng didn't tell him too much.

Before I knew it, the afternoon had passed, and when the sick and bystanders had dispersed, the sun had set in the west. The rest of the people did not return to the main hall to ask Mu Feng to continue to explain the medical Tao, and this afternoon Mu Feng's diagnosis and treatment of various internal and external injuries explained everything. The pills refined by the pharmacist are indeed useful, but the use is relatively thin. And if you don't know the medical theory, it is difficult to use all kinds of pills properly.

Everyone felt that the experience of this afternoon was indeed wonderful, but these family heads and the students of the Medicine King Hall were not ordinary people. Most of them are people with a cultivation realm, and although their cultivation levels are different from the two realms of melting tendons to entering qi, they basically don't get sick. What Mu Feng did today didn't have much impact on them.

Ren Lao also knew what everyone was thinking, and immediately said: "It's over, I see that everyone is not happy, all the family heads and Mu Feng Xiaoyou, how about we continue to study and practice tomorrow?" Mu Feng saw that everyone was so eager, and he had to follow everyone's wishes. Ren Lao continued: "All the masters and students of the Medicine King Hall obey their orders!" Everyone in the Medicine King Palace, even if it is Xu, the two Medicine Kings are all on standby.

Only listen to Ren Lao continued: "Those who refine medicine like us, although we are admired by everyone, we must not be self-conscious. Although we give others elixir, we have not received the favor of others, and if we inherit it from our predecessors, we have the responsibility to carry forward what we have gained. From today onwards, after the annual sacrifice, all the teachers and students of the Medicine King Palace should follow Mu Feng's trip today, and face the city's injured and patients in the Medicine King Palace Square for three days. Let everyone do what they can. The pharmacists bowed and promised.
