Julu Roll Chapter 14 Study hard and make progress every day
Teaching starts from the most basic direction, and the first thing is to recognize words. In terms of writing, the history has not changed much, and it is still dominated by official scripts. At the beginning, Ge Xuan asked the two if they could read and write, but Shi Xin was hesitant, saying that he had learned a little and was not very familiar. Chen Bing's statement, like him, is also ambiguous. Ge Xuan only said that they wanted to save face, so he took out the simplest Taoist scriptures and taught them word by word.
When Shi Chen and the others taught one by one like geniuses, Ge Xuan taught paragraph by paragraph, and the two of them only listened to it once, and they knew it all. In less than a week, a book was taught. The speed of their learning made Ge Xuan stunned, and he thought that he had taken in two prodigies. Shi Xin looked at his expression and was secretly amusedβhe was already highly educated, not to mention that his experience as an archaeologist had made him proficient in writing at various stages of history. On the contrary, he was surprised by Chen Bing's learning ability, after all, he had traveled through time, but Chen Bing was just a historical figure.
Even Ge Hong, who has always been absent-minded about learning, also showed unusual intelligence, which Shi Xin accidentally discovered. Once, Ge Xuan took Shi Xin, and Ge Hong watched boredly. Shi Xin accidentally said a wrong word, and Ge Hong's brows furrowed. Later, Shi Xin deliberately made another mistake, and Ge Hong's brows furrowed again. This method was tried, and this discovery surprised Shi Xin: Ge Hong's speed of mastering knowledge was not slower than Chen Bing's.
Funnily enough, whenever Shi Xin asked him a question, he always tilted his head to the side, and there was always only one answer "I don't know". His performance was entirely due to the loss of time to play, and he was dissatisfied with Ge Xuan for letting him study.
Shi Xin didn't expose him, a capable person like him always has a way to deal with his own affairs, as long as the result is good. If influence is imposed, it will only be counterproductive.
Gradually, Ge Xuan discovered the abnormality of Shi Chen and the two, he only said that the two of them had a foundation before, and when asked the two, Shi Xin insisted that he had not learned, while Chen Bing was expecting Ai Ai, and finally truthfully confessed that he had gone to private school in his hometown and recognized some words. Ge Xuan clearly felt that "recognizing some words" was just a modest statement, and she knew far more than that.
This discovery made Ge Xuan surprised and relieved. After teaching two scriptures, he directly threw the other books to Chen Bing, and asked Chen Bing to teach Shi Xin and Ge Hong, while he plunged headlong into the new formula given by Shi Xin. What Shi Xin gave was just a general chemical formula, and it would take a long time to deduce the pills that were suitable for take.
Chen Bing served as a coach and meticulously taught Shi Xin Gehong. In addition to literacy, they also had to have a thorough understanding of the profound and difficult Taoist scriptures, which took them a great deal of energy. Shi Xin once had a question: What is the use of reading so many Taoist scriptures, Ge Xuan explained: Taoist scriptures can lay a good foundation for him, and can be used as an important reference when learning the unique scriptures of the Lingbao School in the future. Even if it is medicine and alchemy, even if you can become a pulse practitioner in the future, these Taoist classics have a pivotal role.
After learning the Taoist classics, Ge Xuan took out some Confucianism, Legalism and other classics for Chen Bing to teach, saying: Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles. Although we are mainly Taoist, other scholarships also have unique features, and there is no harm in referring to the content in it.
Compared with Taoism and Legalism, Chen Bing has more incisive academic insights on Confucianism, and often Ge Xuan does not know much about it, and Chen Bing can point out the powerful relationship with a sharp point. This made Ge Xuan and Shi Xin even more impressed, and at the same time more curious about her background. just thought that Chen Bing would not reveal it no matter what, so they had to put the doubt in their hearts.
During his teaching, Ge Xuan taught them medicine and alchemy. There are two kinds of categories: those that specialize in treating diseases, which are divided into internal and external injuries, which belong to the category of healing, and those that specialize in regulating the body and enhancing the body, which belong to the category of health preservation. Ge Xuan started from the traditional Taoism, and talked about all the theories in detail from the yin and yang poles in the human body, the qi of the five elements, the meridians of the human body in the small direction, the limbs and bones, flesh and skin. After that, he taught them to recognize medicine, from the cultivation, appearance, and characteristics of medicinal herbs, to the collection and refining of medicines, what diseases they were in charge of, and how much dosage to use. Shi Xin is from a modern day, and he knows almost all Western medicine. But thousands of years of accumulation are all the essence, in terms of medical theory, Chinese medicine and Western medicine are also the same way, Shi Xin confirms the two aspects, and often puts forward some opinions that make Ge Xuandu Mao Sai suddenly.
The two of them studied very hard, and in addition to theory, they also had a lot of practice. The Heavenly Master's Mansion knew that Ge Xuan's medical skills were excellent, and he would often send some patients for treatment. These people became experiments for Ge Xuan to teach medical skills, and taught apprentices while curing diseases.
In terms of alchemy, the most important thing is to know the medicinal properties, and the second is the predicted chemical reaction between materials. Shi Xin also has experience in this area. In the past, as an archaeologist, I always had to collect some soil and scrape some metal for research, using chemistry. He memorized a lot of chemical formulas, but it took a lot of practice to integrate chemistry and alchemy, and it couldn't be done overnight.
In these two aspects, Chen Bing is not so handy. She obviously doesn't have a foundation in this area, often as soon as Ge Xuan finishes teaching, Shi Xin can draw inferences from one another, and Chen Bing still needs to memorize and think slowly.
In this way, several people became mentors and friends to each other, and the days passed slowly in a tight and moderate manner.
In nine months, Shi Xin's injuries were all healed, the books that should have been read were finished, and he and Chen Bing's medical skills and alchemy were also worthy of apprenticeship.
In the afternoon of this day, Shi Xin sent the last patient away and complained to Ge Xuan: "Master, I feel that my medical skills and alchemy have reached a bottleneck, and it is difficult to make any breakthroughs. β
Ge Xuan said: "I also found out. Your current level of medical skills is much higher than that of ordinary Langzhong, and if you want to continue to improve, you can only become a real pulse practitioner. β
Shi Xin was excited for a while, and said in a trembling voice: "Master has a way?"
"There is a way", he glanced at Chen Bing next to him, "It's just...... There is a great risk in unlocking the seals of the meridians, and if you are not careful, you can be paralyzed in the limbs at least and life-threatening at worst. In fact, you don't have to become a pulse master, even if Zhang Meiniang expels you from the Heavenly Master's Mansion, you will always be my disciple. Your current medical skills and alchemy skills can completely gain a foothold in society. With your understanding and hard work, you will definitely get ahead in time, so why risk your life to become a pulse master?"
Shi Xin shook his head: "People go to high places, and water flows to low places." No matter how high the medical alchemy is, you have to ask for shelter at a critical time, and in troubled times, hard fists are the last word. I must become a real pulse practitioner. β
Ge Xuan was stunned: "The Han Dynasty is prosperous, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the border aliens are also obedient, where did the troubled times come from?"
Shi Xin didn't plan to explain too much to Ge Xuan. Although he didn't dare to determine the direction of history, since Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Yuan Shao, and Zhang Jiao existed, and they were all high-ranking and powerful people, they would not be willing to stay good, and they would definitely do something.
Ge Xuan saw Shi Xin smiling and silent, and smiled secretly in his heart: After all, children are young, and they are always whimsical, and when they are self-righteous, I don't need to hit him, it's always good to have a sense of danger.
They continued their previous conversation.
Ge Xuan said: "I don't know what will happen in the process of unlocking the seal. But there are some things that are inseparable, and in the past nine months, your injuries have healed, and a large amount of medicine has also nourished your muscles and bones, meridians, and has become extremely tough. This way, even if there is an accident on the way to unlock the seal, it will greatly increase your ability to bear it. β
"Your Eight Veins of the Qi Sutra have been sealed, I have studied hard, and although I have come up with a set of methods to unlock the seal, I can open two seals at most with my ability: the Yang Seesaw Vein and the Yin Stilt Vein. Ge Xuan looked at Chen Bing. In fact, this method was researched by him and Chen Bing together, but Chen Bing didn't want Shi Xin to know.
"I need to explain the current situation of your meridians. The meaning of the meridians being sealed is that someone has injected powerful True Qi into the meridians that you have not yet developed. The meaning of true qi, like the vein, is different for each person, but it is controlled by the owner. Your situation is like a skin that can be contracted, forcibly injected with a large amount of gas, when it is about to burst but has not yet burst. As soon as you untie the leather rope that seals the skin, the gas inside will pour out. The principle is the same, after the seal is unlocked, a large amount of true qi will erupt out and be uncontrolled. Once these uncontrolled True Qi invade other parts of your body, with your cultivation, it will definitely cause secondary trauma. But as long as you survive this level, you will enter the ranks of true pulse masters. I will accompany you all the way, open the seal for you, and protect your body from the invasion of true qi. β
"These alien true qi have existed in your body for so many years, and they have caused some damage to your meridians, although the injected true qi is above board, it doesn't seem to have the intention of infringing. To explain by medical theory, the human body has rejection, just like a small sawdust inserted in the skin, which will appear inflamed, itchy, and suppurative after a long time, which is the rejection of the human body itself. Although the alien true qi is harmful, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, because it can forcibly widen your meridians. In addition, in the past two years, your meridians have been strengthened by medicine, and your meridians will be much stronger than those of ordinary pulse masters, and once the seal is broken, it will be safer and faster to cultivate. β
"One thing I have to tell you. Ge Xuan was a little hesitant, "These true qi in your body are not done by the same person, each true qi seals two meridians, plus the true qi that hurts you, there are a total of five true qi." As far as I can guess, the four true qi used for sealing are just simple seals, and they don't want to kill you. But the other one really wants your life. β
Shi Xin's heart sank, and he secretly vowed: In the future, these truths must be solved, and the person who made me endure so much pain must be repaid twice.
