Chapter 63: Dialectic

The gambling agreement was established, and Lord Liu ordered the five-flavor medicinal soup to be served.

For a while, the medicinal fragrance in front of the hall hit people, and it can be seen that these medicinal soups are not ordinary medicinal materials refined.

One of them is the "Ginseng Guiyuan Soup", and the other four flavors are also medicinal soups refined by the secret methods of the royal doctors.

Several imperial doctors put the prescriptions with the correct names and combinations in a box in advance, and also sent them to the two arbitrators.

Lord Liu nodded, indicating that he could start.

Since the gambling contract was decided, Xu Yang naturally would not be polite to them, first smelled the medicinal soup in front of him, and took the opportunity to throw off the identification technique.

The imperial doctors on the side whispered in private, this flavor of decoction is not commonly used, but they all know that it is a secret recipe handed down in the imperial doctor's family, and they usually regard it as a treasure, and even have to secretly operate it when dispensing medicine.

But I don't know if this Xu Yang can distinguish it.

Yan Bai and his group are full of self-confidence, and their confidence comes from the fact that this kind of medicine dispensed by the imperial doctor is extremely rare on weekdays, and it is impossible for outsiders to know this prescription in advance, let alone smell it.

Xu Yang didn't care about this, after smelling the decoction, he nodded, walked to the table, and wrote out the names of the medicines one by one.

The words can be said to be ugly, compared to Xu Yang has not seriously learned calligraphy.

But every time he wrote down a medicinal herb, there were a few more drops of sweat on the head of the imperial doctor.

"This ...... How is this possible?" he murmured.

This medicinal soup was made with a secret recipe that had been passed down from his ancestors for more than 20 generations, and apart from him, even several of his classmates and brothers who practiced medicine had no way of knowing.

It is necessary to be the head of the family to be eligible to inherit this prescription.

And he is the current head of the family.

However, everything he saw now shattered his long-standing worldview.

Parsnip, white flower, snake tongue grass, elderberry, astragalus, atractylodes, gourd, half-branched lotus, comfrey, fig, poria cocos, golden buckwheat, June snow, stone dragon rui, chicken blood vine, lotus seed.

There are sixteen flavors of medicinal herbs, which were originally secret prescriptions, but now they are placed on the white paper in front of the middle-aged man, and the ugly-looking font is like its own life talisman.

When the last stroke was written down by Xu Yang, the imperial doctor with white hair was already limp on the ground, trembling all over.

The arbitrator doesn't even have to open the box to know who won.

Xu Yang smiled, helped the old imperial doctor up, and then whispered a few words in his ear.

The old imperial doctor's originally dead face suddenly eased a lot, and the whole person seemed to have regained his vitality, and his face was a little more bloody.

Since the other party has already admitted defeat, the medicine is useless.

Tearing up the previous prescription casually, Xu Yang walked to the second bowl of medicinal soup.

The gourd was drawn in the same way, and the second prescription was waved a few moments later.

This time, the imperial doctor's mentality was much better, he smiled bitterly, walked in front of Xu Yang, and bowed to the end: "Doctor Xu, the medical skills are amazing, I don't know ...... under the bow."

Xu Yang smiled and tore the prescription to shreds.

Even Yan Bai, who had always been full of confidence before, was no longer calm at this time.

There is still a chance, and he keeps cheering himself up.

After all, he had made careful arrangements, even if Xu Yang could really smell the medicinal herbs, this time, he would have lost.

After the third and fourth medicinal soups were identified by Xu Yang respectively, the other two imperial doctors also automatically admitted defeat.

Not even the wooden box in front of the arbitrator had ever been opened.

Xu Yang's astonishing actions couldn't help but amaze the imperial doctors who were watching from the sidelines.

This person's medical skills are so amazing, and his character is extremely noble, this is the style of Xinglin.

The last bowl, in front of Xu Yang, was the flavor of "ginseng Guiyuan soup".

Originally, Xu Yang wanted to write directly and pretend to be forced, but on Yan Bai's face, who was waiting on the side, in addition to the anxiety that anyone could see on the surface, he also saw a trace of strange calmness.

If it weren't for Xu Yang's experience far beyond ordinary people, Yan Bai's calmness would not have been discovered at all.

There must be a ghost among them.

Just in case, Xu Yang still threw an identification technique to the ginseng Guiyuan soup.

Really......

This is not a good thing.

Xu Yang smiled, stood in front of the blank paper, and wrote down the names of the medicinal herbs as always.

Every time he wrote a medicine, the solemn look on Yan Bai's face became a little heavier, he really didn't expect that Xu Yang could really distinguish the different medicinal herbs that were mixed together and cooked for several hours by his nose.

This person must be eliminated, otherwise his medical path will end here.

If every time I practice medicine, I think about the past when I was defeated by this Xu Yang, how can I go further in the medical path?

It's just that this time Xu Yang's process of writing medicinal materials is a bit long, and every time he writes down a medicinal material, he has to think about it for a long time.

Don't?

The onlookers in the hall began to talk again.

Before, they were surprised by Xu Yang's ingenious way of identifying medicines, which they couldn't even imagine.

But this does not mean that they admire Xu Yang from the bottom of their hearts.

After all, they are all a generation of famous doctors, and each of them has a wide range of medical skills, and it would be too casual if a peculiar way of arguing medicine could conquer them.

At this time, seeing Xu Yang's hesitation, most people guessed that he was in difficulty, and then turned his head to look at Yan Bai who had a good face on the side, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, worthy of being Yan Imperial Doctor, he could actually stump Xu Yang, who had repeatedly made amazing moves.

You must know that there are not many people who can make Lord Liu call him a miracle doctor.

There are still a small number of people who have been convinced by Xu Yang's success in defending medicine four times before, including the four imperial doctors who admit defeat, and now they are worried about Xu Yang.

After all, their question has already been answered by Xu Yang, if Yan Bai's question Xu Yang answered incorrectly, wouldn't it mean that their method of refining decoction is far inferior to Yan Bai?

Their qualifications are much higher than Yan Bai's, and they can't afford to lose face.

No matter how long the road is, there will eventually be a time when it will be finished, and although the prescription is long, there will always be a moment when it is finished.

Xu Yang finally stopped his pen, stared for a moment, and then turned back to Yan Bai and said, "Imperial Doctor Yan, I have finished writing below." I wonder if you want to verify it?"

However, everyone present could see Xu Yang's expression, showing that he didn't want to verify it strictly.

If you are familiar with Xu Yang, you will know that this kind of expression shows ...... He's already dug a pit and waiting for someone to jump.

It's a pity that Yan Bai and Xu Yang are not familiar with each other.

Since the other party is not willing to verify the prescription by himself, then he must verify it himself.

This is a very simple question to send points.

"Doctor Xu is polite, since it is a prescription written by Doctor Xu, it is always right, but since it is a competition, it is always necessary to go through a procedure, right?" Yan Bai was quite polite on his lips, but he was not polite in his hand, and took the prescription from Xu Yang's hand.

"Rehman, aconite, angelica, ginseng, coke, old paper, barley, yam, eucommia, ginger, parsnip. ”

The twelve flavor prescriptions were written on the white paper by Xu Yang's crooked and slanted font, and Yan Bai couldn't help frowning when he looked at the names of these familiar medicinal materials.

This Xu Yang really has some doorways.

If it weren't for the fact that he had already set a trap in the dark, I was afraid that this gambling fight, Tai Hospital would really lose, okay, okay.

"Doctor Xu is really like a god, admire, admire!" Yan Bai said nicely, but his face at the moment did not look like admitting defeat, on the contrary, in Xu Yang's opinion, this was an expression of successful tricks......

"It's a pity, it's a pity, I don't know where Doctor Xu stole my family prescription, it's just that Doctor Xu doesn't know, in order to prevent the prescription from leaking, the official deliberately added a dispensable medicinal material to the medicinal soup, although the amount is small, it does not affect the medicinal properties, but we are gambling on the defense of medicine, and we missed the defense of medicinal materials, Doctor Xu, you should be considered a loser, right?"

The imperial physicians were first taken aback, and then ecstatic.

If what Yan Bai said is true, then this gambling fight, Tai Hospital can be regarded as a desperate life, and all the things that Xu Yang did before finally became a stepping stone to failure, and became the best note to the prestige of Tai Hospital.

Originally, they almost lost confidence, but now they have turned the tables at the last minute, isn't this an unexpected surprise?

For a while, the noise in the hall shook the sky.

"Quiet, quiet, what a system!" Lord Liu repeatedly pressed and finally suppressed this trend.

"In this way, I'm afraid I didn't have any magic skills to smell soup and argue medicine, right?" Yan Bai continued to sneer: "It is estimated that Doctor Xu's family has a great cause, and he bribed some subordinates with silver money, stole the residue of the medicine that I and a few others refined, and then distinguish the medicinal materials, right? Yan Bai's words were even more vicious, which was tantamount to accusing Xu Yang of cheating in disguise, using the method of stealing medicinal residues to identify medicinal materials, and then vainly trying to win the gambling battle with this.

Lord Liu and the two arbitrators were originally sitting in the court, and this gambling fight, no matter who wins or loses, actually has little to do with them.

It's just that now Yan Bai accuses Xu Yang of cheating, and this crime is inevitably a bit big.

At least one of them steals prescriptions, and the crime of cheating in gambling can't get away.

The prescription is the doctor's life, the crime of stealing is not light, and cheating in gambling is equivalent to fraud, the Qing Dynasty law strictly prohibits fraud, "all chaos, theft, fraud, all strictly prohibited", at least it is also to wear a flail for two months, fight a hundred, and punish the two crimes, I am afraid that Xu Zheng's life is worrying.

The three of them got up at the same time, their eyes swept towards Xu Yang.

Yu Minzhong opened his mouth first: "Doctor Xu, how do you explain Imperial Doctor Yan's accusations against you?"

Xu Yang smiled bitterly: "There is no way to defend it, it is to deny it, and no one believes it, right?"

The victor is the prince and the loser is the thief, and there is nothing more than this in the world.

In the Battle of Shanhaiguan, the Manchu Eight Banners Army defeated Li Zicheng and took the world, Li Zicheng is a thief, if it is the other way around, Li Zicheng wins, then who is a thief and who is the king?

Now that he is in the Tai Hospital, no matter what he says, others will think that he is quibbling, and Yan Bai is not unfortunate or poisonous.

Is this the end of the matter?
