Chapter 181: Natural and Man-made Disasters (5)
"Doctor Zhong, this is the apprenticeship we prepared for Xiaoya." Su took out the things, which was not expensive, but it was also my intention.
Zhong naturally didn't care about this and nodded: "Then let's get a disciple." She pointed to a painting hanging on the wall. It was a beautiful woman. "This is the ancestor of our Wu Doctor Valley. You first snatch three heads of the portrait, snatch a stick of incense, and then drink the tea for apprenticeship."
"Yes." Hao Xin nodded, not thinking that there is anything wrong with his apprenticeship. The master is his master, no matter who the other party is.
"Wait a minute." Before Hao Xin bowed, Li Xiang ran in from outside.
"I'm sorry, Master, I'm late, I..." Li Xiang stood in front of everyone panting and explained quickly, but when she saw the elders around Hao Xin and the apprenticeship ceremony, she suddenly became a little embarrassed.
"You are here, hurry up, let's become disciples together." Hao Xin grabbed Li Xiang who wanted to retreat.
"I..." Li Xiang wanted to struggle.
"Add to be a disciple." Zhong also saw her strangeness and spoke. Li Xiang's eyes were filled with tears. She kowtowed and burned incense with Hao Xin's actions, and then became a disciple and worshipped tea.
"You have to call me senior sister in the future." After finishing it, after handing over to Zhong's master, Hao Xin patted Li Xiang's shoulder and said.
"Why, I'm older than you, I should be my senior sister." Li Xiang burst into tears and smiled.
"I started earlier than you, are you a master?" Hao Xin asked Zhong directly for verification.
"Yes, Xiaoya is right. You should call her senior sister." Zhong stretched out his hand to cover his mouth with his sleeve, blocking the smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Master, even you say that." Li Xiang is no longer as sad as being locked up by her family before and not allowing her to become a disciple.
"Is Xiaoxiang girl here?" Li Xiang's mother's voice heard from outside, making Li Xiang tremble.
"I'll tell you something for you." Seeing her like this, Zhong was about to go out.
"No, master, I'd better go. If you go, I don't know what Aunt Wang Jiu would say." Li Xiang's father ranked ninth in the clan, so he called Aunt Jiu. However, the Li family is also a big clan, and both of them can only be regarded as a side branch of the Li family in Lijia Village.
The entire village belongs to the same ancestor. Later, because the five children of the ancestors were divided into five branches, the eldest son and the eldest son were considered as the legitimate branch, that is, the village chief. The Li Xiang family and the Hao Xin family both had four families. By the time of Hao Xin's generation, there were only five sermons. Before the release, the sorting was sorted according to each sermon. If the different sermons were also ranked, the first name or surname was added before the name. After all, they were all relatives, and even if they were released, they were uncles.
Li Xiang's mother, Aunt Wang Jiu, is also very famous in the village. Her mouth is like a slight offend. If Zhong goes out, I don't know what Aunt Wang Jiu will say.
"I'll go." Wang saw that Hao Xin was about to go out and spoke quickly.
"Yes, it's up to us, so let's learn from your master." Zhou nodded. Hao Xin didn't say anything else. Anyway, Aunt Wang Jiu never took advantage of her three women. Even Su, who seems to be a bun, is not so easy to bully.
"Xiaoya, thank you." Li Xiang thanked Hao Xin.
"What are you thanking? You are my junior sister." Hao Xin stood on tiptoe and patted her head.
"I don't admit that you are your senior sister." Li Xiang patted her hand away, but a smile appeared on her face.
I don’t know if it was Zhou Wang and the others who convinced Aunt Wang Jiu. In the end, she agreed to Li Xiang’s apprenticeship and made up for the apprenticeship. Although Aunt Wang Jiu favors boys over girls, she is not polite. Not allowing her daughter to become a disciple is one thing, and apprenticeship is another thing.
In a blink of an eye, five years have passed. Hao Xin was 13 years old and Li Xiang was 15 years old. Li Xiang was very talented in medicine and could only learn one thing. After Zhong first asked them to learn herbal knowledge, he began to teach them medical theory. He also found that she did not have any talent for medical treatment, so he passed on the prescription for how to make medicinal food to her so that she could have a skill in the future.
It is also with the skills of this medicinal diet that 15-year-old Li Xiang has made a good marriage and is preparing to marry now. Hao Xin believes that with her heart, she will also manage her own marriage well, just like in her previous life.
As for Hao Xin, because of her high talent, she was trained by Zhong as a disciple of the inheritance. From pharmacology to pathology, looking, listening, asking and touching, Hao Xin had already started learning to treat patients two years ago. With his understanding of treatment, Hao Xin was finally able to know what the rules of medicine are.
Let me put it this way, the so-called illness is actually caused by the loss of balance of the human body. The human body contains the balance of yin and yang and five elements. As long as this balance is maintained, humans can avoid getting sick, or even never get old or die. However, as the age increases, the yang energy in the human body will gradually decrease, and the five elements will gradually lose balance. Then major and minor diseases will occur. When all the yang energy is lost, the life span will reach the end of the person.
The reason why monks can live long is that they can continuously replenish the yang energy that will be lost in their bodies over time. The monks seem to practice based on their spiritual roots only, which seems to disrupt the balance of the five elements. However, after the infant is formed, the monks will no longer stick to the spiritual roots. This is why as long as they practice to the Nascent Soul, they will see more insight than spiritual roots.
Therefore, in ancient times, the spiritual roots with the balance of the five elements were the best talent, because this itself conforms to the law of balance of the way of heaven.
After saying so much, what does it have to do with the laws of medicine? It is naturally related. As I said before, the so-called illness is because the five elements in the body are imbalanced, and the doctor wants to adjust the imbalanced five elements back and try to maintain balance. Traditional Chinese medicine originally focused on a means of treating the yin and yang and five elements in the body. People have the five elements, and drugs also have them.
This is something that Western medicine cannot do, which is why Western medicine treats symptoms but not root causes. However, it is difficult for ordinary Chinese medicine to restore the destroyed five elements. Whether it is too much or too little, it needs to be supplemented or eliminated slowly. This is why traditional Chinese medicine is slow to achieve and even many cannot be cured.
The law of medicine is actually a law of restoration of balance and belongs to the law of restoration. However, the law of medicine tends to be the law of balance and is a variant of the law of balance, while the law of restoration belongs to the branch of the law of time.
After understanding this, the rules of the law of medicine were outlined in her purple palace, and then sank into her Taoist patterns. After understanding the rules of medicine, Hao Xin learned medical skills and achieved twice the result with half the effort.
