Chapter 4: The Road to Traditional Chinese Medicine is Difficult

Li Maoyang rode his motorcycle to the town in the east, and his mind was full of thoughts.

As soon as a person reaches the age of 20, it seems that he will immediately become much more mature.

Especially the kind of young people who have already stepped into society.

In the past, it seemed that a big life event such as starting a family and starting a business was very far away, and as soon as it passed twenty, it seemed to be immediately in front of me.

Therefore, the 21-year-old Li Maoyang's sense of urgency is getting stronger and stronger.

After a few years of wandering around society, he quickly understood what it meant not to have a college diploma in this day and age.

It means that no matter what you do wherever you go, you will be looked down upon, and needless to say, finding a job will become a huge problem even if you go on a blind date.

Studying in college will not only improve your horizons and knowledge, but more importantly, you will get that university diploma, which will be stamped by the authority and recognized as a "qualified product" of the society.

No matter where you go in the future, this is a stepping stone.

Like him, Li Maoyang, who does not have a college diploma, will naturally be defaulted to the unqualified products of the society, and his future life will be doubly difficult because of this.

Because of his recklessness and ignorance, he dropped out of high school before finishing it, and now there is nowhere to buy this regret medicine.

Fortunately, he still has such a nominal master as the second master, and he has followed Zheng Dake as a rural old Chinese medicine doctor for more than a year, and now he has obtained a medical qualification certificate by taking the road of inheriting traditional Chinese medicine, and being a rural doctor has become his only bright road.

Especially now that he has obtained the Qihuang system, this is his biggest reliance in a turnaround battle.

But Li Maoyang is also more urgent because of this, who knows if this inexplicable system will suddenly disappear again one day, so he must hurry forward on the road of studying medicine while it is still there!

The most difficult thing to learn Chinese medicine is practice, and if you learn a lot of theory, it is nonsense if it is not related to reality.

From this point of view, Li Maoyang feels that he and the Chinese medicine doctors in the University of Chinese Medicine are still fair, and they can still stand on the same starting line to compete.

So now he cherishes every opportunity to see a doctor at the moment, and when he learns the practical skills of four diagnoses, syndrome differentiation, massage, acupuncture, bone setting, and prescribing medicine, then he can also have a way out in this society.

Nowadays, the biggest difficulty in front of Li Maoyang is the four diagnoses and syndrome differentiation, among which pulse diagnosis is the most difficult.

He has been studying medicine with Master Zheng Dake for more than a year, and his biggest gain now is that he has learned some theories, and acupuncture is basically an entry.

In learning Chinese medicine, pulse diagnosis is the most critical part, and the most critical thing for a Chinese medicine doctor is to rely on three fingers to eat.

Before he died, Master encouraged him to take his time, keep learning, feel the pulse, and find the feeling when he touches it.

The kind of "feeling" that Master said, in Li Maoyang's view, is similar to an intuition in the depths of learning, or even a kind of "spiritual sense", which is really a bit inexplicable.

Well, fortunately, he now has the Qihuang system, although this system does not teach him how to touch the pulse, but at least it will tell him whether he is touching it correctly, which is already a great help.

To really learn to feel the pulse, it really takes a long time to accumulate experience and hone your senses.

Until I hone an intuition like Master's.

However, Li Maoyang now also suspects that there should still be a shortcut to learning pulse diagnosis.

That is the practice of meditation.

In order to truly reach the advanced realm of feeling the pulse, it is probably necessary to cultivate.

Master was also cultivating for the last two years of his life, and was taught to him by a wandering Taoist priest.

Master told him that cultivation is actually a way of health preservation, and there is no need to see it as magical, cultivation will not make you immortal, but it is possible to live a few more years.

And the master also told him that in order to truly reach the advanced realm of touching the pulse, he really needs to cultivate.

How the ancients discovered the meridians should have been discovered only when they reached the realm of inward-looking themselves through cultivation.

Otherwise, the meridians would never be discovered by ordinary people, because they can't even be discovered by the most sophisticated modern instruments.

It should be like an airplane track, it exists when there are planes flying, and it doesn't exist when there are no planes.

When a person is alive, there is a qi machine to run, and the meridians exist, and when a person dies, there is no qi to run, and the meridians should not exist.

Master regretted that he had cultivated too late, he was too old, and he didn't have that kind of "spiritual sense" of cultivation, so after two years of cultivation, he only cultivated a little bit of qi in the end, but it didn't help his body much.

He encouraged Li Maoyang to try his cultivation, and also taught him the cultivation method taught to him by the Taoist priest.

Li Maoyang has also tried to practice intermittently for more than a year, and now he has a little sense of qi, but he is always like a seed that can't sprout, his qi is like a gossamer, and it doesn't grow much if it doesn't fade, and Li Maoyang doesn't know what the problem is, so he just wants to practice and meditate, intermittently.

With this bit of true qi seed that seems to be as thin as a gossamer at the moment, to open up the second vein of Ren Du, Li Maoyang is now a little incredulous.

In the traditional sense, opening up the two veins of Rendu refers to the use of true qi to pass through the two veins of Rendu, rather than the ordinary medical breath circulation of the two veins.

……

Li Maoyang rode a motorcycle to the town while thinking about it, and it took more than half an hour for him to ride a motorcycle into the town suddenly.

Maixiang Town is not big, there are two long streets in the east and west, three or four miles long, and there are short streets in the north and south, there are five, and there are two long streets in the east and west.

Shops, hotels, restaurants, pharmacies, barber shops, bookstores, ...... some shops on the street are also regular stores, and there are naturally two or three express stores such as Shunfa.

So, the economy is okay.

Cars are running all over the street, and overbearing off-road vehicles are also seen from time to time.

Like Li Maoyang, who suddenly entered the town on a motorcycle, at first glance, he looked like a "dirt stick" below.

When he parked his motorcycle in front of a noodle restaurant and went in to eat with a figure of 1.8 meters, the earthy and wild temperament from the village below was even more exposed, and his eyes were stunned, as if he was the best in the world.

In short, it's completely unbeaten.

If someone says that he is studying Chinese medicine, then there will be someone who will persuade him to let go of Chinese medicine as soon as possible.

In everyone's impression, those who can be doctors of traditional Chinese medicine must have some fairy wind bones, and at worst, they should have a scholarly appearance, and Li Maoyang is angry at a glance.

After two bowls of noodles, Li Maoyang rode a motorcycle and went straight to a pharmacy.

It was the Jiukang Pharmacy he frequented.

When he arrived at the pharmacy and stopped his motorcycle, he shook into the pharmacy in a few steps, and was about to open his mouth to shout, "Senior Brother Qiao, I'm here!" But he suddenly stood up as if he had been frozen, and he couldn't call out when he was about to open his mouth.

Obediently, Qiao Guoguo, the daughter of the pharmacy owner Qiao Chunwang, is here.
