The demon left the exhibition room and thought to himself, "I've been busy for a long time, but I still haven't got results." I'm still going to sell my charcoal. ”

The demon first went to the intermediate class of the casting and forging department, and asked clearly that the student was the second generation of local tyrants, and the second generation of local tyrants pointed out that the family was very rich, spending lavishly, and was willing to spend money to improve his casting and forging skills, as long as he could help him upgrade the first-level casting and forging master to the second-level casting and forging master, he would almost recognize you as his parents. The students in the intermediate class have all passed the first level of casting and forging and are going to be promoted to the second level of casting and forging master.

The demon found this second-generation local tyrant and said, "Do you want to quickly learn the casting and forging techniques of 30 alloys?"

"I dreamed of it. The family is in a hurry, and it costs so much money from the family. I've learned to have an account. The eyes of the second generation of local tyrants are shining and full of hope.

"I have a kind of refined charcoal here that can improve the success rate of casting and forging alloys, and the refined charcoal is 10 taels and 1 catty. Do you want to give it a try? The demon tempted him.

"Is there really such a refined charcoal that improves the success rate?" asked the second generation of local tyrants.

"You know me. Cai Youyou, senior class. The demon reminded.

"Recognize. The demons in the advanced class are known to the whole department, and they only take one and a half days of class for 5 days. The teachers all said that you were there, and the classmates were too stressed, so they took you away. The second generation of local tyrants said adoringly.

"That's good. If I lie to you, you can always trouble me. "The demon is tempting.

"Then I want 100 catties of this charcoal, no, I want 500 catties. The second generation of local tyrants thought about it and said excitedly.

"Where is your forging room, tell me, you wait for me in the forging room, I'll come later. "The demon first-level casting and forging master was promoted to the second-level casting and forging master, so he rented a casting and forging room to practice alloy casting and forging techniques, and the second generation of this local tyrant will definitely rent it.

The demon went to the casting and forging room of the master Zhou Dankang, borrowed 10 catties of third-grade refined charcoal from the master Zhou Dankang, and said that he would return it to the master Zhou Dankang tomorrow, and came to the casting and forging room of the second generation of local tyrants.

The second generation of local tyrants is waiting, and they also surround two wine and meat friends of the second generation of local tyrants.

The demon first taught the second generation of local tyrants how to use this kind of fine charcoal, and then taught how to cast and forge alloys. Some of the steps described in the book can be streamlined, because charcoal is different. The refined carbon is pure, with few impurities, and there is no need for those steps and technologies to remove impurities when casting and forging, which greatly simplifies the steps of casting and forging alloys. This is also the reason why the master Zhou Dankang wants to buy refined charcoal. If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.

The second generation of local tyrants is not a fool, and the steps mentioned in the book are also very familiar, and the demons are simpler and easier to do. The demon asked the second generation of local tyrants to forge and forge according to the steps he said, and pointed out the mistakes. Let the second generation of local tyrants cast and forge again, and ask the second generation of local tyrants to compare the alloy of the current casting and forging with the alloy of the former casting and forging of the second generation of local tyrants.

Tuhao was very satisfied with the improvement of the quality of his cast and wrought alloy, and said: "I want 500 catties of this charcoal." ”

The demon thought: "If I mention 200 pounds, they all think I'm black." If I mention 500 pounds, then I won't be a black man. ”

"I'll give you 100 pounds first, and then come to me when you run out." The demon said, "We will pay first, and then deliver the goods." ”

The second generation of local tyrants was not afraid that the demon would run away, and immediately handed the demon a silver ticket of 1,000 taels.

The demon took the silver ticket and said, "I also provide after-sales service." If you have any doubts about using this kind of refined charcoal, or casting and forging alloys, you can come to me. Tomorrow morning, I will put 100 catties of third-grade charcoal in your casting and forging room. ”

"You must do what I taught you, or you will bear the consequences. The demon dropped the last word and left.

This is the demon's second fine charcoal business.

The demon went to the logistics office and turned the note of the master Zhou Dankang into a 1,100 taels of silver tickets, and his heart was so cool. There are a total of 2,100 taels in his pocket.

The demon then transferred to the class and took a course in the treatment profession, because the master Zhou Dankang said: The exercise book only teaches you how to cultivate, and after understanding the knowledge of the human body, you will know why you want to cultivate like this. It means that cultivation is not only to know what it is, but also to know why it is so. The profession of teaching the knowledge of the human body is only available in two professions: therapist and pharmacist.

But the demon has no foundation in studying medicine, and when he listens to the healer's class, he looks confused, but he just can't understand.

The demon thought to himself, "I'll have to find an introductory medical book to flip through first, and then ask the teacher which books are suitable for me after class." ”

After listening to the demon's explanation, the teacher replied, "There are two main schools of medicine in this clan. One school is represented by the Treatise on Typhoid Fever, which is suitable for physicians who have not cultivated the meridians. It does not pay attention to the unity of heaven and man, does not pay attention to the meridians of the human body, does not pay attention to the five elements of yin and yang; Symptoms are symptoms, such as redness of the skin, tooth pain, bleeding wounds, necrosis of bones, fractures, etc., which can be seen or felt by the eyes, ears, mouth, nose, or touch. Symptoms are deceiving, and it is not correct to say that symptoms are deceiving, but it is accurate to say that people are deceived by symptoms. Symptoms can vary from person to person, in the same person but at different points in time, which can be very long, decades from youth to old age, or very short, such as midday and late at night. What should your doctor do if someone has a pre-existing illness but does not show symptoms, or the symptoms are so mild that the patient cannot even notice it?"

"Han Feizi Yu Lao":

Bian Que saw Cai Huangong, and there was a room. Bian Que said: "You have a disease in your gut, and if you don't treat it, you will be afraid of it." Huan Hou said: "There is no disease in the widow." Bian Que came out, and Huan Hou said: "The good treatment of the doctor is not the work of the disease." After living for ten days, Bian Que saw him again and said: "Jun's disease is in the skin, and if it is not cured, it will be profound." "Huan Hou should not. Bian Que came out, and Huan Hou was displeased. On the tenth day of residence, Bian Que saw him again and said: "Jun's disease is in the stomach and intestines, and if it is not cured, it will be profound." "Huan Hou should not. Bian Que came out, and Huan Hou was displeased. On the tenth day, Bian Que looked at Huan Hou and left. Huan Hou asked people, Bian Que said: "The disease is in the intestines, the soup and ironing are also within the reach, in the skin, the needle and stone, in the stomach, the fire is also within the reach, in the bone marrow, the fate belongs, helpless." Now in the bone marrow, the minister is uninvited. "On the fifth day of living, Huan Hou was in pain, so that people asked for Bian Que, and he had fled from Qin. Huan Hou died.

Cai Huangong didn't feel that he was sick, but Bian Que knew it and persuaded Cai Huangong, but Cai Huangong didn't accept it, and blamed Bian Que's impure purpose. As a result, Cai Huan Gong died, and Bian Que fled. Bian Que will be buried if he does not flee.

The demon asked, "So how about this genre?"

The teacher replied: "This school also has advantages: the quality of doctors is not high, as long as there is a master to lead, it is okay to be illiterate, as long as you are not a fool, you can recognize the symptoms, you can also learn, it is just a matter of level." The level of this type of physician is mainly determined by experience, generally speaking, the older the doctor, the more popular, suitable for large-scale training, can go to the people to serve the general public. In any era, senior doctors serve the nobles, and the poor should not think about it, so you learn a little medical knowledge, which is also the idea of smart people. ”

The teacher continued: "The second school has very high requirements for the quality of physicians. Requirements for cultural quality: It is required to be able to understand the "Tao Te Ching" and "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing". This understanding does not mean that you understand the literal meaning and call it understanding, but you have to do what the book says, so that you can truly understand. Native medicine believes that a person's illness is caused by the obstruction of the essence and the stagnation of the qi, but it is only an internal or external cause. To check the patient's essence condition, he must be a strong person who has opened one of the twelve meridians, and there is no way, and there is no way to take shortcuts. This leads to the requirement of cultivation: one of the twelve meridians must be opened, that is, a strong person, but it is not easy to produce a strong person. Although a strong person will dredge the essence of himself and others, he will not necessarily become a senior medical practitioner. Because as a senior medical practitioner, you also need to know how to treat the same disease, in different people, the performance is different, and the treatment method is different. The purpose of the vast majority of cultivators is to fight, not to be doctors, so there are very few high-level medical practitioners. ”

The demon asked, "People who don't cultivate also have essence?"

The teacher replied, "Everyone has essence, including any living thing, all living plants and animals, and only things with essence are called living things, and things without essence are called dead things." The difference between a cultivator and an ordinary person: A cultivator can freely mobilize and control the essence in his own body and can also control the essence of other living beings, while non-cultivators cannot do this. ”

The teacher said, "You said your name is Cai Youyou, which major is you?"

The demon replied: "Casting and forging professional advanced class." ”

The teacher suddenly realized and said, "I know who you are." If your purpose is only to cultivate martial arts, there is no need to take all the subjects of the healing profession, focus on reading the "Tao Te Ching" and "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing". ”

"There are not many people who can understand the two books of "Tao Te Ching" and "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", and "Tao Te Ching" must be read to it. For cultivators, the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon only needs to read the first three chapters. The rest of the chapters are for medical practitioners, and for martial arts cultivators, there is no need to read them. If the medicine of the ethnic group is compared to a tree, the Tao Te Ching is the root, the Yellow Emperor's Neijing is the backbone, and the Shennong Materia Medica is the branches and leaves. The Tao Te Ching is the foundation of the medicine of the people, and it is the unity of heaven and man from the perspective of the three views. "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" is the backbone, a miscellaneous collection of different people in different eras, and it can also be said to be an excerpt and then sorted out. The main content is the theoretical basis of the five behaviors of yin and yang, and the idea of the unity of heaven and man is applied to the self-cultivation and treatment of the human body. Some chapters in the Yellow Emperor's Neijing reflect contradictory ideas, which is normal, because they are literal reflections of different people's thoughts. As for "Treatise on Typhoid Fever", this book is not suitable for you to read, it means that it is useless to you, because you are following the path of cultivation. There are some chapters in "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" that talk about the meridians, but the meridians it talks about are different from the meridians of martial artists, and they are not particularly suitable for martial arts practitioners. ”
