Chapter 58, The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon
"Master, please help me see what's wrong" Hou Tu briefly told the old man about his injury.
The old man looked at the tongue coating of Houtu, and then checked his pulse, and his expression gradually became serious: "Can you lie down and let me do another examination for you?" ”
After Houtu lay down, the old man asked him to close his eyes and empty his mind.
"All the metal objects on your body must be taken out, otherwise it will affect the accuracy of the physical examination," the old man continued to order.
"Well, okay" Houtu took out the golden sword and mobile phone from his body and put them beside him. At this moment, the expression of the old man suddenly fluctuated subtly, and he quickly regained his composure.
"Close your eyes and don't think about anything," said the old man softly.
Houtu nodded and lay down again. After a few moments, he could feel what seemed to be gas flowing through his blood. Moreover, the flow of qi and blood is wonderful, as if there is a tiny electronic device surveying the body in the body.
For a long time, the old man sat on the stool and chair, which should have consumed a lot of physical strength.
"What's your name? What does it do? The old man took a few breaths, stabilized his body, and then asked Houtu.
"My name is Houtu, and now I am doing the Chinese medicine industry" Houtu did not hide it.
"Oh, that's good, who did you learn martial arts from?" The old man changed the subject, and his expression was a little complicated.
"I was self-taught, to be precise, in a cave, which martial art are you asking?" Regarding the abnormality of the old man, Houtu was a little puzzled.
"Are you cultivating Shenlong Gong and Linghuang Sword?" The old man asked bluntly, and he didn't go around the bush anymore.
"Yes, yes, do you know Lin Chun's seniors?" Houtu was very surprised, how did this old man know the exercises he cultivated, there must be something strange in this.
"Isn't it, Lin Chun, the head of the Lingxiao Sect?" The old man suddenly said loudly.
"Yes, it's Lingxiao Pailin senior, and my sword is also his" Houtu pointed to the golden sword beside him.
The old man's expression immediately changed from complicated to relaxed, and after a while, he said to Houtu with a pleasant face: "Okay, I have probed your body just now, your dantian has almost been repaired, and after a while, it will be completely fine." ”
"Also, you have a strong ability to turn poison into abnormal poison in your body, have you used anything very special?" The old man asked curiously.
"Yes, the golden snake gall stone of Shenlong Mountain was used in the early stage, and the big Buddha stone of the Buddha Temple was used in the later stage."
If the old man realized something, he was relieved: "That's right, your body already has a super anti-poison ability."
"Great, thank you, master! How much does it cost to see a doctor this time? Houtu sat up happily, ready to pay for it. This time it took a lot of physical strength for the old man, and he was going to give more money.
"It's free, no charge for your money," the old man smiled.
"How's that going to work? You just saw a doctor and consumed a lot of money, I can't let you see it in vain" Hou Tu took out his wallet.
"I really can't take it, otherwise, if you stay here for a few days and accompany my old man, it will be charged, okay?" The old man came up with a strange idea.
Houtu thought about it for a moment and finally agreed. He sensed that there were many mysteries in this old man, and he might be able to understand them.
"Master, do you know the Gou family that grows medicinal chrysanthemums?" Houtu asked casually.
"That Boss Gou? No, he's only been to me once. ”
"He has a son who seems to have been seriously injured because of a martial arts competition, and later became impotence, so they came to me to see a doctor."
"His son, a few years older than you, is studying at a college in the south, and he just graduated this year."
The old man said slowly, falling into the memory. Hou Tu immediately found a pen and paper and drew a portrait for the old man to see.
The old man looked at it for a long time, and said in a mocking manner: "There seems to be a little bit of resemblance in his eyes, but nothing else is like it." ”
Houtu thought about it, he didn't want to be entangled, there must be a road before the car reached the mountain, if that person was really Gou Qiuhong, he would definitely be able to meet him next time.
In the next few days, the old man was not sick, so he chatted with Houtu when he was fine, asked him about his cultivation, and listened to him talk about the adventures of the cave.
In order to pass the boring time of Houtu, the old man specially took out a collector's edition of the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon" for Houtu to review.
When Hou Tu was a child, he had seen the printed version of "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", and compared with it, the biggest difference between the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" collector's edition is that this book is all in traditional Chinese characters, which feels like the version of the late Han Dynasty or the early Tang Dynasty.
The books he read when he was a child have now forgotten a lot, and he re-read them, and he has a new experience, understanding and harvest.
For example, the real is yin, and the empty is yang; Seven doors, three cokes and four seas, five organs are hidden but not diarrhea; The heart hides the spirit, the lungs hide the soul, the liver hides the soul, the spleen hides the will, the kidneys hide the essence, the seven emotions and six desires are the heart, and the three souls and seven spirits are the five senses.
The main soul is the heavenly soul, called the cool spirit, which communicates people and heaven and earth. Generally speaking, when the main soul is gone, the person is completely dead.
The second is the earth soul, called the ghost, which is the ability to live on the earth, the decisive orientation, fertility, emotional orientation, and so on.
There is also a life soul, which belongs to the original soul, called fetal light. If the fetus is lost, Chinese medicine judges that it is death, and people are like vegetative people, they may still be able to eat and drink, but they are actually walking dead.
The six intestines are laxative but not hidden, so they are really dissatisfied. If the water valley is entered, the stomach is solid and the intestines are deficient, and after eating, the intestines are solid and the stomach is deficient.
Courage to decide; The stomach is the main storage and corrosive diet; Sanjiao passes water and fluid, runs qi and blood; The small intestine mainly distinguishes the turbidity and extracts nutrients; The large intestine conducts and dissolves dross; The bladder owner receives urine.
The three cokes, the road of the water valley, the end of the qi. The stomach is reflexed and extended, the left side of the small intestine is overlapped with sixteen curves, the right side of the large intestine is overlapped with sixteen curves, and the upper bladder is the lower mouth of the small intestine.
Hou Tu felt that the harvest was not small, when the old man was seeing a patient, he would learn and practice on the side, Chinese medicine emphasizes the hope and hearing, the treatment of the mechanism and the prescription of the law, and the most difficult thing is the pulse and the syndrome differentiation of Chinese medicine.
For example, the characteristics of physiological pulses are that there are pulses in the three parts of the inch, guan and ruler, which are neither floating nor sinking, neither fast nor slow, and one breath is four or five solstice. Due to the influence of age, gender, living environment and other factors, there will be mutated physiological pulses, such as oblique flying pulses.
There are 28 common pathological pulses, including floating pulses, sinking pulses, string pulses and scattered pulses. They represent different diseases and physical conditions, for example, floating veins are seen in the surface pattern, and the void yang floating pattern; Shen pulse is seen in the inside, power is real, powerlessness is virtual.
String pulses are more common in diseases such as hepatobiliary disease, pain, phlegm drinking, or stomach qi failure, and scattered pulses are mostly seen in the dispersion of vital qi, the decay of internal organs, essence and qi, especially the critical illness syndrome of the heart and kidney qi is about to die.
Moreover, pulse is not the only judgment, it needs to be cross-differentiated with other judgments and combined with the examination of medical physical devices and equipment.
At this point, Houtu finally had a very in-depth understanding that the study of traditional Chinese medicine is to learn from birth to old age, and even then, it cannot be clear in everything.
"Master Portuguese, help me take a look" A young man with a depressed expression staggered to the stone house.
When the old man saw the visitor, his expression was very solemn, and he immediately instructed the young man, "Let's go outside the house to see a doctor."
