33. Teaching
People often say that illness comes like a mountain of falls, and illness goes like a thread to get rid of it, but Tong Wanqing recovers at an amazing speed. After two days of medicine, Tong Wanqing is able to get out of bed. Although she is still a little powerless, she no longer has to worry about whether she will get sick.
Before Xu Xiaole could go and invite Sun Yufeng, Sun Yufeng came by himself. He took Tong Wanqing's pulse and added and removed a few medicines. Only the fresh pig gallbladder was still unmoved. After seeing Tong Wanqing's illness, Sun Yufeng entered Xu Xiaole's study, glanced around, and sat in front of Xu Xiaole's desk.
Xu Xiaole stood opposite Uncle Master, and before Sun Yufeng could speak, he laughed first: "Thank you, Uncle Master Master, for saving my sister-in-law."
Sun Yufeng said: "It should be."
Xu Xiaole's thoughts jumped quickly and said, "Uncle Master, I have read books these two days and I know that the dynasty ochre, gentian grass, aloe vera, and coptis chinensis you have opened are all to lower the upper and lower energy; Shu lacquer, danpi, and red peony are to slow down the blood flow; oysters, dragon bones, and five flavors are to restrain the floating gods. But I can't understand, what is the use of pig gallbladder?"
Sun Yufeng looked at Xu Xiaole in surprise and said to himself: This is quite sensible. This is exactly what he thought about when decorating medicine and copying prescriptions. No one pointed it out and he knew to do it himself. It was really fate.
So Sun Yufeng asked Xu Xiaole: "What do you think pig gallbladder is for?"
Xu Xiaole tilted his head: "The medicine book says: Pig gallbladder can clear heat, moisten dryness, and detoxify. It is often used for fever, thirst, constipation, cough and asthma. Patients often have symptoms such as red eyes, cataracts, diarrhea, and diarrhea. My sister-in-law has no."
Sun Yufeng smiled slightly: "You have checked a lot of books in the past two days, and you are really attentive."
Xu Xiaole was very fond of being praised, and she immediately danced and almost got carried away.
Sun Yufeng continued: "It's a pity that you study like this, just blind people touching an elephant and not understanding the root cause."
Xu Xiaole's body stiffened: "Please give me advice."
Sun Yufeng said: "The military strategy says: use the right combination to win with strange results. The medicine that reduces qi, promotes blood, and calms the spirit in front is like a dignified array, so it is in harmony. For this pig gallbladder, I am not taking its medicinal properties, but physical properties. Because your sister-in-law's Shaoyang is hot, the bile must have dried up. Fresh pig bile is taken with the medicine, and it is precisely the same kind of material to help it."
Xu Xiaole was three points clear and seven points ignorant, but she was still impressed: "So that's the case, this is how it is. This is how it wins with a strange victory."
Sun Yufeng smiled and said, "The disease is like an enemy, the patient is the commander of our army, and our doctors are counselors and military advisors. Using medicine to apply injections is just to mobilize the military force and defeat the enemy. Doctors should have a clear idea when to confront the front line and when to sneak attack the food road."
When he saw Xu Xiaole listened with relish, he said, "The ancients said that if he was not a good minister, he would be a good doctor. Because like a doctor, the prime minister balances yin and yang, and the two are interconnected. You know, it is good to think about the prescription. But you really have no foundation. It is only apart to see that the prescription is split and it can be said that it will be half the result with twice the effort."
Xu Xiaole hurriedly asked, "Then where should I start?"
Sun Yufeng said, "You have to know first what a person is, what a world is, and what a world is among the world. In this way, your sister-in-law can eat the modified prescription for five days. After five days, I will come over. Take good care of your sister-in-law first. When I come, we will go to a place where you can see the mountains and rivers."
Xu Xiaole nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Okay, the closest thing here is Lingyan Mountain. Although it is not high, you can see far. If you walk further away, there is a Duanlong Mountain, which is the highest mountain in Gusu, and you can see Taihu Lake."
Sun Yufeng nodded and said, "Qionglong Mountain is good. There is a place where the temple is a place where gods and immortals are born. Zhu Maichen once studied there, Sun Wu wrote military books there, and Han Shizhong also lived there. It is a famous mountain, so let's go there."
When Xu Xiaole heard Sun Yufeng report three names casually, he only knew one Han Shizhong, but he heard from Storyteller, and couldn't help but feel shy. Sun Yufeng found Xu Xiaole's reaction and asked, "Have you never read a book?"
Xu Xiaole smiled awkwardly: "I have read some medical books."
Sun Yufeng shook his head repeatedly: "Don't read medical books first. Go find a set of "Records of the Grand Historian" and read it carefully. One hundred and thirty articles must not be missing."
Xu Xiaole said in confusion: "Uncle Master, I will study medicine with you, why do you need to read history books?"
Sun Yufeng got up and walked out, greeted Xu Xiaole to follow, and said as he walked, "I have never eaten raw meat and drink blood like animals. It has been at least five thousand years since the establishment of rules and regulations.
"A lot of things have happened in the past five thousand years, which is the so-called history. If all these history is written down, the booklets may be piled up into a mountain. Decocting this mountain-like history into a small bowl like decocting medicine is the tradition we inherit.
"In this small bowl tradition, only one drop of essence is extracted, that is Tao. Tao contains all things, and everything in the world is not in Tao. Only when we practice "Tao" can we have medical skills. The ancients had to study medicine for medicine that they had to be over 30 years old, have a thorough knowledge of literature and history, and have some understanding of Tao. Only in three years can we get started in three years, achieve small success in five years, and achieve great success in seven years, and continue to live a lifetime. Still, I dare not say that I can enter the realm of transformation by reading only medical books?"
Xu Xiaole couldn't help but smack her tongue when she heard this: "How many books do I have to read?"
Sun Yufeng smiled: "You will know at that time."
The two of them said as they walked, and in a blink of an eye, they arrived at the door. Xu Xiaole felt reluctant to leave Sun Yufeng and sent him to the entrance of the alley. Sun Yufeng also happened to tell him some methods of reading, asking him to learn to be meticulous and understand the words. When he reached the entrance of the alley, before Sun Yufeng finished speaking, Xu Xiaole took the initiative to send him to the dock.
After seeing each other out, they finally sent Sun Yufeng to Suzhou City. Since they arrived at the county town, Xu Xiaole simply proposed to go to the Yaowang Temple and could also meet the master Li Xiqiang who was not in charge.
Li Xiqiong did not disappoint Xu Xiaole—
When Xu Xiaole saw him, he set up a table to practice stalls on the main street outside the Yaowang Temple. Perhaps because he had not had business for a long time, he had fallen asleep on the table. Two bamboo poles were leaning against the wall behind him, and a cloth was hung on each of the bamboo poles. On the left it reads: "My hand rejuvenation; on the right it reads: "The iron mouth is broken."
Xu Xiaole only felt embarrassed and peeked at Sun Yufeng, but saw that the uncle's face was also a little blue. He took a breath, suppressed the shame in his heart, and quickly walked over and patted the table.
