Chapter 8: Preaching and Teaching to Solve Doubts
He Chong took Murong Yu back to the courtyard where the disciples lived, walked for a while, walked through a corridor, and led him to a room opposite the room where he woke up before, and said, "Little junior brother, the one you slept in before was lived in by the fourth junior brother, all the senior brothers and family members, except for the little junior sister who lives in the same courtyard with the master, everyone else lives in turn. After a pause, he smiled and said, "This will be your room in the future." As he spoke, he pushed the door in with Murong Yu.
I saw a large bed in the room, desks, chairs and bookshelves, bookshelves full of medical classics, and a few calligraphy and paintings hanging on both sides of the wall.
He Chong said: "I have already cleaned this place today, and you will live here temporarily." After that, he took out a thick book from the shelves full of books and handed it to Murong Yu: "You can copy this book of "Han Shuyi Wenzhi Fang Jilu" a few times in the past few days, and I will come to check the results of your copying in a few days." ”
Murong Yu was stunned for a moment, he looked at Senior Brother and asked, "Senior Brother, is there any use in copying books?"
"Copying a book once is better than reading a book a thousand times, and when you copy it a few more times, it will naturally be remembered in your heart. He Chong paused, as if he remembered his own experience of copying books back then, and then said: "Copying books is also tempering the mind, and this is a course that every beginner disciple must go through. Back then, I copied books for my brother for nearly five years, and I copied thousands of books. I hope that you can understand Master's good intentions in setting this rule, and don't let down the hope for you. ”
"Remember the teachings of my brother. Murong Yu responded.
He Chong nodded, looked left and right again, and then said to Murong Yu: "That's nothing, being a brother won't affect the junior brother's copying of books, if there is anything that needs to be dealt with for my brother, you can come to me at any time." ”
Murong Yu answered and sent the senior brother out of the door, He Chong said a few more words, turned around and left.
Murong Yu returned to the room, closed the door, and in an instant, the environment in the room became unusually quiet, Murong Yu sat at the desk in front of the window, looking at the thick book on the table, "Han Shuyi Wenzhi: Fang Jilue", and remembered what the senior brother had said, he would have to copy thousands of books in the future, and couldn't help but wonder: "How many years will it take to copy thousands of books." He sat silently at the desk for a while, then grinded the pen and ink in front of the desk, took the thick stack of hemp paper on the side of the table, and began to transcribe word by word. Therefore, "Spring and Autumn" is divided into five, "Poems" is divided into four, and "Yi" has several family legends. The Warring States were from the (vertical) balance, the truth was divided, and the words of the sons were confused. As for Qin's troubles, it is to burn out the article, and to fool the head. Han Xing, the defeat of the Qin Dynasty, the collection of books, and the road of dedication to books was widely opened. Up to the time of filial piety and martial arts, the book is lacking and simple, the etiquette is bad and happy, and the saint mutters and says, "I am very Minyan!" Therefore, the strategy of building a book collection, placing the officials who wrote books, and the legends of the sons are all filled with secret mansions......"
This copy is a long time.
At noon, a shadow came to the window, and it was Li Ningxiang.
Murong Yu was still immersed in the atmosphere of copying books, not noticing Li Ningxiang's arrival, nor noticing how long she had been here.
Li Ningxiang pretended to be angry and said, "Stinky junior brother, you dare to ignore me, hum!"
"Senior sister, why are you here? Murong Yu hurriedly put down the pen in his hand and said.
"Don't you want to see me? Li Ningxiang said angrily.
Murong Yu touched his head and said embarrassedly: "Why don't I want to see Senior Sister, it's just that I am too absorbed in copying books." I didn't notice for a while that it was time for my senior sister to arrive. “
"Alright then, I'll forgive you this time. Li Ningxiang said in a slightly softened tone: "If you ignore me next time, I will ignore you again in the future." ”
"Eat less lunch this time. While speaking, Li Ningxiang put the food box in her hand on the table: "Grandpa said that in order not to affect your copying of books, I will deliver your meals in the future." Next time you dare to ignore me, I won't bring you food in the future, hum. He said in an angry tone.
There was a burst of warmth in Murong Yu's heart, "Thank you, senior sister, I promise that I won't dare next time." ”
"Hurry up and eat, I'm going to take the lunch box away after eating." ”
Murong Yu suddenly felt hungry in his stomach, and hurriedly opened the food box, only to see that there were meat and vegetables in the food box, and when the rich fragrance wafted out, he felt that his body was about to float, so he devoured it.
"Eat slowly, and no one will rob you. All this food is yours, and I won't be able to get it for you. Seeing Murong Yu eating with relish, Li Ningxiang showed a faint smile slightly.
"Delicious, delicious. Murong Yu said indistinctly while eating.
After drinking the last sip of soup, Murong Yu couldn't help but burp.
Maybe he's really hungry.
Or maybe it's because the food is really delicious.
He looked like he was hungry when he ate, as if he hadn't eaten for three days and three nights.
He didn't waste it at all.
Actually ate a fine light.
"Have you eaten enough?" Li Ningxiang said with a smile, "If you are not full, I will go and get it for you." ”
"I'm full, thank you, sister. ”
"When you're full, hurry up and copy the book, if you can't finish copying, be careful that the senior brother will punish you when the time comes. ”
"Senior sister, do you know what the senior brother will punish?" Murong Yu wondered.
"You'll know when the time comes. Li Ningxiang gloated.
"Okay, you copy it slowly, I'll go first!" As he spoke, he had finished packing up the food box and tableware, put it in his hand, and turned to leave.
"Goodbye, senior sister. ”
Li Ningxiang didn't look back, stretched out her right hand, and swung it behind her.
Murong Yu, who was full of food and drink, then looked at the thick stack of books left on the table, and continued to transcribe.
This copy took a long time, except for going to the thatched house, he stayed in the room for the rest of the time, and the senior brother and the master came to check on the halfway, but he didn't notice it. Li Ningxiang also came to deliver food on time every day, which made him feel embarrassed and made him feel unusually warm.
He kept his head down in copying.
Tireless, unaware of the passage of time.
When he was tired, he took a nap on the desk, and when he woke up, he continued to transcribe, as if there was nothing in the world that could attract his attention except copying books.
Maybe it's because I'm afraid of the punishment that hasn't come from the elder brother yet.
Or maybe it's because he's eager to succeed in his studies, so that he can take revenge and blood hatred as soon as possible.
He had endured too much, too many things that he shouldn't have endured.
also endured too much, something that should not belong to his age.
If he hadn't experienced this disaster, maybe he would have played like any other child and grew up carefree.
If he hadn't experienced this disaster, perhaps he would have enjoyed the peace of his parents under his parents' knees like other children.
Heaven and earth are unkind, the world is impermanent, and life is regarded as ants, and the common people are regarded as grass mustard.
Fate is plucked like a string, no matter how it starts or ends, it is already doomed that he will have too many responsibilities.
It is destined that he will shoulder all the heavy responsibilities that should not belong to his age and are beyond his ability.
In this way, unconsciously, a month has passed, he copies the books on the bookshelf every day, and reads the "Feng Ling Jue" left by his parents at night, and his life is very leisurely.
One day, early in the morning, He Chong came to Murong Yu's room and said, "Little junior brother, you have also copied a lot of books, you can wash up today, and follow me to see the master later, he will personally assess your results today." ”
Murong Yu couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and responded timidly: "Yes, senior brother." ”
"The little junior brother doesn't need to panic, the test is all about medical science and common sense. He Chong said comfortingly, "You should hurry up and go to the main house by yourself later." ”
Murong Yu hurriedly cleaned up, followed closely behind, and walked out of the door.
I saw that it was still early, and it was still early in the morning.
The air in the courtyard is pleasant, there are still dewdrops on the flowers and plants that have not yet dispersed, the pearls are shining, and the air is filled with a fresh and moist fragrance, and the fragrance comes to the nose.
The peony is full of tears, the veins are affectionate, and the roses are lying quietly, delicate and charming, and they are very lovely.
In the main room, above the hall, everyone was in place.
He Chong walked to the front of the hall and said respectfully, "Master, the disciple has brought the little junior brother over." ”
Murong Yu hurriedly saluted and said, "Disciple to meet Master." ”
"No need to be polite. Li Zheshi smiled and said: "Yu'er, you have been under my door for a long time, and today I asked your senior brother to bring you over, just to assess your learning status." After a pause, "As for the content of the assessment, it is nothing more than some medical knowledge, and your senior brother must have already told you." ”
"The disciple is clear. ”
"Chong'er, let's get started. Li Ochre smiled and said to He Chong.
"Yes, Master," He Chong responded, "What is Wuzang?"
"The five Tibets refer to the heart, lungs, spleen, liver, and kidneys. “
"What are the Six Mansions?"
"Liufu refers to the large intestine, small intestine, stomach, gall bladder, bladder, and three cokes. “
"Those who are bright in the sun, the stomach is also vein, and the stomach is earthy, so those who are shocked by the sound of wood are also evil wood. ”
"Zuyangming is the meridian of the stomach and belongs to the earth. Therefore, when I heard the sound of wood, I was shocked because of the evil of Muke. ”
"The disease occurs in the internal organs, how can it be treated?"
"Examine the location of the pain, and treat it according to the symptoms and the deficiency and the reality, and use the method of replenishing the deficiency and discharging the reality. ”
"What are the five hardships and six hardships?"
"Five bitterness: refers to Coptis chinensis, Sophora radix, Skullcap, Phellodendron and Rhubarb. Six spices include dried ginger, aconite, cinnamon, Wu Yu, Shu pepper, and fine spice. ”
"What is the Elixir of Fire and Water?"
"The agent of water and fire means that the preparation is divided into water and fire. The four fires are destroyed, simmered, broiled, and fried. There are three types of water system: soaking, soaking, and washing. It is made by water and fire, and is divided into steaming and boiling. ”
......
One question and one answer, but it is not the same. And so it was noon before I knew it.
"So be it. Li Zheshi interrupted the conversation between the two, and said to Murong Yu with a smile, "Yu'er, I know that your senior brother asked you to copy books before, and you may still have some doubts, wondering why other students started by collecting and recognizing medicines, why do we start learning from copying books." Now you know why I asked you to copy the book. ”
"The disciple understood. ”
"Now that you have understood, it is not in vain that I have worked hard to read a book, and although I have seen the meaning of reading a book a hundred times, I have always thought that copying a book once is better than reading it a thousand times. Copying books will make you remember more, and you will not forget it if you copy it a few more times. ”
"Disciple remember. ”
"Yu'er, from today onwards, you can go out for a walk during the day, and come back at night to copy books," Li Ochre advised, "Xiang'er, you will take him out more in the future." ”
"Got it, grandpa, Brother Xiao Yu handed it over to me, you can rest assured. Li Ningxiang patted her chest and said.
Li Ochre smiled and touched Li Ningxiang's head, "With you here, of course grandpa is relieved." ”
"Bad grandpa, don't touch my head again, I won't grow taller if I touch it again, hum. Li Ningxiang said angrily.
"Okay, good, don't be angry, grandpa is wrong, forgive grandpa this time!"
"I don't want to pay attention to you, every time it's like this, you adults don't count what you say, and you play tricks every time. As he spoke, he pulled Murong Yu and walked out.
The disciple retired first. Murong Yu hurriedly said.
"Go ahead. “
Looking at the two who left, Li Ochre said to everyone earnestly: "Chong'er, Dan'er, as senior brothers, the two of you will care more about this little junior brother in the valley in the future, although Yu'er is smart, but he suffered this disaster at a young age, and it is inevitable that it will be difficult to get out of the darkness in his heart for a while, don't let him fall into the magic barrier, obsessed with revenge." ”
He Chong and Xia Dan responded in unison, "The disciple understands. ”
"As for the second and fourth children, you also find a way to get in touch, and the rivers and lakes are not very peaceful now. The fourth child is used to wandering, and I don't know if there is a family, which is really annoying. Although the second child is in the Tai Hospital, as the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, and if you are not careful, your head will fall to the ground. If they're not doing well outside, come back and stay with me. ”
"Master don't worry, I contacted the fourth child a few days ago, and now he is following Marshal Zong Ze and serving as a military doctor in the army, which is quite important. As for the second child, he is now serving in the palace, but fortunately, the emperor is not mediocre, and his life is passable. He Chong responded.
"Marshal Zong Ze is a good person, but he is also worth following. The fourth child has a vision, and finally began to pay attention. ”
"When I first learned the news, my senior brother and I thought it was fake, for fear that the fourth brother deliberately released the fake news in order to reassure us. Later, after many inquiries, it was confirmed. Xia Dan said with a smile.
"Although the fourth child's medical skills are good, most of the time it is even Meng Lang, Dan'er, you haven't got a family yet, you can go out and help the fourth child after a while." The rivers and lakes are turbulent, you are superb in martial arts, but you can also protect the old people around, and find a good girl by the way. ”
That's what the disciple meant. Xia Dan smiled.
"That's very good, if you need anything, talk to your senior brother and leave as soon as possible. ”
"Yes, Master," the two replied in unison.
