At noon that day, the three of them set up a table in the courtyard of the old gentleman's house.

Although the old gentleman is over 90 years old, his physical condition is similar to that of a middle-aged man, and it is not okay to eat three cups and two glasses. When it comes to speaking, it is also full of qi and has no qi deficiency.

After you have eaten and drunk. Chen Letian took out the prescription and showed it to the old gentleman.

I would like to ask the old gentleman what the effect of each of the herbs on this is.

The old gentleman nodded and said, Qingshan's medicine is a big tonic, if it is used alone, his dose cannot be large, and it has to be given slowly when administering the medicine, one or two medicine soup must be drunk in three months, and if it is given violently, there will be big trouble.

This kind of medicine is neutral and cold, and if this medicine is used alone, the short-term dose is actually more and less, and it belongs to the recuperation category.

Wei Nan This medicine can only be used in more than one dose alone, because it has its unique situation, if you give less, it is easy to cause a situation that can not achieve the effect and harm the body.

...

After reviewing all of them individually, the old gentleman concluded, but if these drugs are put together, the dosage of each medicine is very important. For example, this Qingshan, the amount of content in it will determine whether the medicine is hot or cold, that is to say, the symptoms are worlds apart.

"So just from these formulas, you can't see the approximate medicinal properties of this medicine and its effect on the human body?" asked Chen Letian.

The old gentleman said: "It is not absolutely. Without knowing the properties of the drug, we can make several simple assumptions. As he spoke, the old gentleman asked the little servant to bring a pen and paper.

He wrote on the table for a while.

Then handed it to Chen Letian.

This is a few schemes that I conceived myself, the first is that all medicines are used in the same amount, in this case, its medicinal properties are neutral and cold, I don't know what diseases this medicine can be used to cure, but basically as far as I know, he can't cure anything, but ordinary people have no benefit or disadvantage in taking it.

The second is that there are many green mountains, few red tops, and the rest of the average score, this is fever, which can be used to treat the fever of some ordinary people with a hot physique, but the effect is only average, and there is a blind wind pavilion in it, which is uncertain, at least I dare not prescribe this medicine to patients.

...

After talking about five or six situations in a row, Chen Letian was confused. He basically didn't know anything about medicine. So for him, no matter how detailed Lao Langzhong is, it's in vain, because he doesn't understand. 53 Chinese Net

After listening to what Lao Langzhong said, although Chen Letian has been listening very carefully, his level is not enough, and the result is only the effect of listening drowsy. Even Qin Tieniu was drowsy when he listened.

Lao Langzhong said, took a sip of tea and said, "Why are you two not interested at all?

Chen Letian said with a bitter face: "It's not that we are not serious, it is that what your old man said is similar to the book of heaven to us, you can't blame us." If we could understand it, we would have listened to it a long time ago, but the key is that we don't know what you say in half a sentence, and we don't want to do that. ”

The old gentleman smiled, thought about it and said, you showed me this prescription must not be to let me confirm whether he is reasonable, I guess this prescription must be the formula of some kind of medicine or even poison, what do you want to know when you use it for me to analyze?

This is to the point, Chen Letian said, in fact, I want to know what the consequences of taking this medicine will be on people, I won't tell you, this is not a poison, but it is also not a cure, this is a medicine with temporary effect, I can't tell the specific situation.

The old gentleman waved his hand and said, then I understand what you mean, you don't have to tell me the specific situation.

I see what you mean. I'm telling you, there are many possibilities for this medicine. But from a healer's point of view, I think his greatest effect is probably in the aspect of calming people. It makes the blood in the eight veins of the person's strange meridians flow more slowly. Well... I say this, human blood is within a certain range, in fact, whoever flows slower has more advantages. It's like a tortoise, you see it's slow, but it can live for a thousand years, and that's because all the qi in his body is very slow. So maybe for humans, humans live for ten days, and turtles only live for one day, so people don't live for a hundred years, while it can live for a thousand years.

Chen Letian understood a lot when he said this, and he said thoughtfully, "Sir, in our cultivation world, there are many ways to calm people's minds, according to what you say, ordinary people, even non-cultivators, can they achieve this kind of complete tranquility?" Or is it possible?

Lao Langzhong nodded, I don't understand the cultivation world, but of course ordinary people can do it. It's not about spiritual practice. Or maybe what I said is not accurate, old man, it should be said that there is no necessary connection between practice and meditation. If you want to practice, you also need to meditate, just like whether you are a practitioner or a non-practitioner, you have to eat and sleep.

But in the later stages of cultivation, you don't need to eat or sleep... Chen Letian thought so in his heart, but of course he wouldn't say it, in his opinion, although what Lao Lang said didn't make him pause, but it also made him think about something in his heart, as for what it was, he still needs to think about it more.

He said, "It's still meditation, isn't it? This medicine is just meditation." Calm down, right?"

The old gentleman nodded: "Exactly." At my level, old man, I can only analyze these things from this medicine, maybe other people with higher medical skills can have a higher understanding, maybe you can find someone else to try. ”

"I don't have to look for someone else, Mr. Zhang, don't I believe you yet?" Chen Letian wouldn't say it even if he really thought so.

Mr. Zhang waved his hand and said, don't worry about me being unhappy because of this, I'm not talking to you politely, I'm telling you the truth. It's not that other people's medical skills are necessarily higher than mine, but that different doctors have different opinions, and even sometimes people who are not as good as me in terms of overall medical skills are much more proficient than me in some issues, which is normal. I'm asking you to ask more people, so that you can listen to the opinions of other doctors. ”

Chen Letian sighed and said, "Okay, you recommend a few people to me and I'll find them." ”

Mr. Zhang originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought that he didn't need to do this, and he seemed stingy if he didn't recommend it, so he recommended a few famous doctors in Beijing that he knew, and wrote a letter for Chen Letian to bring. Tell them to show them the letter I wrote, and they will refer you to it, don't worry.
