Volume 1 Wandering Rivers and Lakes Chapter 9 Careful preparation of medicine has a mystery
Gao Qing's condition is not simple, when Fei Boming's sword invades his body, if he can force it out in a short period of time and recuperate with his heart, he will be cured in just one month.
But Fei Boming and Fa Ming chased all the way, Gao Qing and Li Qi fled all the way, until the night before yesterday, the two found a flaw, and only then did they injure Shi Bochuan and the others, squeezing out time for treatment. If it weren't for those six people chasing after him, why would he be in danger of his life? If you don't need to be treated, why delay?
When he calmed down, Lin Zining felt that Gao Qing didn't let him tell about his illness, and he was afraid that Li Qi would be disheartened when he found out, give up on himself, and have the idea of dying and breaking the net.
Among the five internal organs, the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys are all solid organs, so they are called the five internal organs, and the small intestine, gall bladder, stomach, large intestine, bladder, etc. are hollow containers, and correspond to the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.
Gao Qing's illness is first of all the cold evil invading the internal organs, then it damages the yang qi, and the yang qi is weak, so the body cannot be warmed, so the body is cold and the limbs are cold, and the face is pale. If the yin is cold and the inside, the Jin/liquid will not hurt, so the mouth is light and not thirsty, and likes hot drinks. The cold belongs to the yin and the main quiet, so it is quiet and rarely spoken. Clear urine and loose stools, pale tongue and white tongue, slow and astringent pulse, are signs of cold.
What do you mean? It is the cold that invades the skin, coupled with the exhaustion of the body and the long-distance travel, which has changed from the symptomatic injury to the internal disease, and the external cold has turned into the internal cold, and it is cold to the heart, which has already hurt the heart.
The heart and the small intestine are connected, its splendor is in the face, it is filled in the blood veins, and the opening is in the tongue.
Huazhi, the meaning of glory exposed, its splendor in the face refers to the fact that the facial skin depends on the qi and blood to nourish, and the qi and blood are abundant and harmonious, and the face is rosy and shiny. The meaning of fullness is also full, and its filling in the blood means that the blood born from the heart travels in the veins. The hole of internal and external communication is also the hole of the tongue, which means that the heart communicates with the outside world through the tongue.
If the heart qi is insufficient and the heart blood is insufficient, the pulse is weak and the rhythm is irregular, which is the sign of sinking pulse. If the heart and blood stasis are blocked, the pulse is not smooth. If the pulse beats less than four times, it is a sign of delayed pulse, and the disease is undoubtedly "cold". If the heart is injured, the small intestine is not healthy, so the tongue is pale and white, and the urine is clear and loose.
The heart is connected to the spleen and kidney, the spleen and stomach are each other's inside and outside, and the kidney and bladder are each other's inside and outside, and the heart has been injured and has not healed for a long time, then the spleen, stomach, kidneys, bladder, etc. are also damaged, and then the five internal organs and six organs are not in harmony, and the inside is corrupted, and it is in danger.
The heart is fire in the five elements, and if the heart is wounded, the fire is not strong, and if the fire is not strong, the body is cold and the limbs are cold.
If the false fire is a lifetime, the cold and heat in the body are mixed, the yin and yang are not in harmony, and the true qi is disordered. If you don't control the disease, you can't save the Daluo Immortal when she comes.
Lin Zining put the medicines away one by one, silently thinking about how to match the medicines and how to make the pills.
The art of the pill pays attention to the main and auxiliary of the monarch and the minister, and the headache doctor treats the head and feet and heals the feet, which is what the beginner pharmacy guys do, but many quacks in the world will only treat headaches and head and feet.
Moreover, the lesions of cultivators are not the same as those of mortals. Just the fire of the incinerator, it is also divided into Samadhi True Fire, Nanming Lihuo, Sun True Fire, Taiyin True Fire, etc., and there are also the Netherworld Fire, the Nine Heavens Xuanhuo and the Ziwei Heavenly Fire and the Red Lotus Karmic Fire that Buddhism talks about.
The characteristics of the medicine are different, the fire used in refining is not the same, although there is a layer of furnace ding, not afraid of the fire is not right to burn the medicine, but it is not casual, besides, ordinary people simply can't use the samadhi true fire, Nanming Lihuo and other fires, alchemy medicine can be used is firewood. Therefore, there is a combination of talismans and seals, and it is a move to change the fire.
Li Qi went for two hours, went empty-handed, and came back empty-handed. Lin Zining thought that he had gone for nothing, but he didn't want him to take out a cloth bag, Lin Zining thought that he had put something in the cloth bag.
But before I fainted yesterday, I saw him carrying that big package, why didn't he put it in a cloth bag? It's weird!
Li Qi saw Lin Zining's look of surprise and asked, "What?" Haven't seen a storage bag yet? If you want it, when you catch up one day, just grab one for you. ”
Lin Zining doesn't want to have too much to do with them, grab a storage bag for himself? Didn't that tell others that the evil cultivator duo had an extra sidekick? Ben still wanted to express his doubts, but when he said this, he kept silent and stopped looking at him.
Li Qi saw that Lin Zining not only didn't speak, but turned his head away, so he scolded: "What kind of nerves do you kid have!" ”
Lin Zining still ignored him, took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from a pile of packages on the ground, put it on the table, got a glass of water into the inkstone, and grinded the ink. Looking at the black ink slowly diffusing in the clear water of the inkstone, Lin Zining suddenly remembered the situation when he was studying ink for Mr. Bai Yi in Xingyuan Mansion.
Spreading out the paper and pressing it with a paperweight, Lin Zining dipped the pen in ink, hesitated for a long time, and wrote down the prescription on the paper. From right to left, a column of medicines, write the name of the drug on it, and the following doses. The first seven flavor medicines were all achieved with one wave, and when it came to the eighth flavor medicine, Lin Zining's pen gesture was stagnant, but the pen was smooth again.
Looking at the prescription written by Lin Zining, Gao Qing closed his eyes and pondered, and after a long time, he opened his eyes, pointed to a line of words on the paper and asked, "Why do you want to add this flavored medicine?" And to this extent? ”
Lin Zining looked at the eighth column that Gao Qing was referring to, and it was written "Han Xingzi one catty". I was shocked, but my face was not obvious.
Hanxingzi faces the yin and avoids the yang, it is a small lilac flower that grows in the north of the mountain and the south of the water like a star, and it is not uncommon to see the herbs in daily life. And one catty is the dosage of sixteen parts, that is, one or two portions (the old system of one catty and sixteen taels), and the cold things are placed in the medicine for the treatment of cold, and the dosage is not small.
When ordinary doctors see a doctor, they prescribe a prescription according to a dose, and then write down how many pairs of medicines to grab, and the guy on the medicine cabinet grabs the medicine according to the prescription, which is a piece of paper and a pair of medicines. When the patient goes home to boil the medicine, it is also a pair of medicine to boil, and it is a pair of medicine to boil two or three times, and when the family is poor, the medicine is boiled lightly and the medicine residue is boiled.
However, when using a Dan furnace to refine pills, this cannot be the case, and it is often a matter of several or a dozen servings of medicine that are refined together. In order to make the medicinal properties of each pill the same and the efficacy consistent, it must be boiled with true fire and drawn by true qi.
Therefore, Lin Zining wrote "A catty of cold stars", so Lin Zining said that he would not be able to do alchemy.
When Gao Qing asked this, Lin Zining didn't know if he really didn't understand, or pretended not to understand, so he held back his uneasiness and patiently explained: "Mr. Gao is a disease of cold entering the body, although I don't know where this cold comes from, but the cold is extremely deep and has hurt the internal organs. Therefore, it is necessary to warm and replenish the solid first, and then the fierce fire to go to the cold, but if there is too much yang fire medicine, it will promote the heart fire deficiency, and then the medicine of yin and cold is needed to contain it, which not only does not make the fire of the pill too fierce, but also can first suppress the false fire in the heart. ”
Gao Qing really didn't know the reason, after listening to Lin Zining's explanation, he felt a little reasonable, but he felt uneasy.
Use? Or not?
Gao Qing's face was blank, he looked at the world outside the door, his right wrist was pressed on the prescription, and his two fingers in the middle of the food were slowly tapped, and then again......
For a while, Li Qi didn't know what the two of them were talking about, and he didn't know what to say, Lin Zining's legs were already trembling, and fine sweat broke out on both sides of his forehead, but he was still motionless like a wooden man.
When the atmosphere was depressed to the extreme, Gao Qing suddenly asked, "What is this medicine used for?" ”
Here it comes.
"The roots of the fire cloud grass must be guided."
"What do you mean?"
"The south is full of dampness, and it is a place where dry and wet yin and yang are indistinguishable, but the roots of Huoyun grass grow here are hard, because its roots are not afraid of dry and wet, and both yin and yang are accepted. Using it as a medicine guide can not only help the main medicine of Huoyun grass to control all medicines, but also serve as the backhand of warming and nourishing cold stars. ”
Hearing this, even Li Qi felt that there was some truth, but he was not good at it and did not speak out. And Gao Qing seemed to be a little less vigilant, and said, "Very good, you can prepare medicine according to the house." ”
"What about the cold star?"
"I asked Lao Li to buy it. How soon can you get your medicine ready? ”
"Half an hour will do."
"Then I'll start alchemy in an hour. What do you suggest? ”
"My prescription is prescribed according to ten pills, and I need to get more than six pills of Cheng Dan for internal use in order to cure the disease, I don't know if Mr. can be sure?"
"Ten parts of medicine, refining into six parts, um~, it's not a big problem, do you have any suggestions?
"I've only read a few books on alchemy, and I'm not good at it, if I can watch Mr. open the furnace for alchemy on the side, and then let me review a few Dan books, maybe next time Mr. asks again, I can say a few words."
"Then after you prepare the medicine, eat something and rest for a while, and when I turn on the furnace, you help me light the fire and fan the wind."
Lin Zining had also seen Mr. Bai Yi's alchemy, but at that time, he was weak and lacked strength, and Mr. Bai Yi never let him do such a physically exhausting thing as burning the fire and fanning, but just let him watch from the side.
Although Lin Zining watched it with relish, he felt that Mr. Bai Yi's immortal wind bones, especially when the lid of the Dan furnace was lifted, and Mr. Bai Yi's hands released his true qi to wrap the pill that was about to be formed, that momentum and look made Lin Zining's eyes shine and he was full of reverence.
Don't think that it is an ordinary thing for cultivators to open the furnace for alchemy, if nothing else, that is, after seeing the words of Lin Zining and Gao Qing, you should know that different pharmacology cannot practice the usable pill at all, if you throw it into the pill furnace indiscriminately, it is a pill that is practiced, and it may also be a poison pill.
Not to mention that you need to use your true qi to draw and warm the elixir, if your true qi is insufficient or your true qi is mixed, what will the elixir you practice look like? If it didn't work out, as soon as the Dan furnace was opened, a pool of black and smelly juice flew out of it.
So, the three of them had their own division of labor, Li Qifu worked as a porter and flew out to buy Hanxing Grass, Lin Zining returned to the right room to dispense medicine, while Gao Qing closed his eyes and recuperated, adjusted his true qi, and prepared for the alchemy of the furnace.
It was very easy for Li Qi to go to buy medicine, and he came back in less than two quarters of an hour. Seeing him come back, Gao Qing asked him to dig a stone cave for alchemy on the mountain behind, and there was no way to practice Dan in the stilted building.
After digging the cave, Li Qi flew over with Lin Zining and Gao Qing with herbs.
When everything is ready, the furnace is about to be opened.
