Omniscient and Almighty

Chapter 275 Ginseng

One class, one thousand eight hundred and sixty two kinds of herbs.

The speaker has no scruples, and the listener is engrossed.

Facing such a kind of lecture and listening, Chen Zhihe, who was an "observant", was tongue-tied and stupefied.

Look at the way the master and apprentice are used to it for granted, did they often come like this before?

Chen Zhihe really guessed right, Mr. Zhang gave Xu Guangling lectures at the beginning, and the content was not large, but since he discovered that Xu Guangling's comprehension was extraordinary, the speed of his lectures was also accelerating, and when it was later confirmed that Xu Guangling After the photographic memory, Mr. Zhang will give lectures again. Many times, the content of that class is astonishing.

At least, it can be called shocking.

At this very moment, Chen Zhihe, who was not very "vulgar", was equally shocked and then full of bewilderment. ——Look at this master and apprentice!

Gossiping in the living room after class in the study room.

He was talking about the artificial cultivation of medicinal herbs in China. This time, Chen Zhihe found a place to use his talents and talked about it with eloquence.At this moment, Vice President Chen's demeanor finally showed a little bit, otherwise, I'm afraid he would have been aggrieved forever.

In fact, it is not aggrieved.

Instead.

In their small group of four.

On medicine, Zhang's older generation is a big deal, on martial arts, Chen's older generation is a big deal, on learning and growth progress, there is an alien here.

As an "ordinary person", Chen Zhihe couldn't stand it at all.

I just feel small like dust.

And the most terrible thing is that this kind of insignificance continues to intensify as time goes on.Chen Zhihe felt that he was getting smaller and smaller, so small that he could hardly find him.

Really, if he hadn't been ordered by his father to stay, vice president Chen would only stay for three to five days at most, and he would definitely return.

This small building is not a place for him to stay.

After the gossip was over, Xu Guangling took a copy of "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" in his hand when he returned.

Zhang Lao's latest annotated edition.

This day's course can be regarded as a general introduction to medicine, or an introduction, an introduction, anyway, that's what it means, and from the second day on, Mr. Zhang began to give a specific description of a single medicinal herb.

And the first herb is ginseng.

Because of ginseng, sweet potato and yam vermicelli, and because he was popularized by Mr. Jia before, Xu Guangling still knows a little about ginseng.

Especially in the understanding of the performance of ginseng, it is not "some" that can be defined.

But who is Zhang Lao?

Although the old man said that he was good at acupuncture rather than medicine, judging from the relevant annotations in the Shennong Bencao Jing that Xu Guangling saw yesterday, the old man's so-called not good at it may be like needles, the best for thousands of years?

Or is it just that you lost to yourself?

Anyway today.

The old man started from ginseng and from Changbai Mountain.

First, he talked about the geographical environment, outline and altitude of Changbai Mountain, as well as climate, temperature and humidity, etc., and then from the landscape and climate to the vegetation. In short, the old man first talked about "Geography of Changbai Mountain" and then "Botany of Changbai Mountain".

After these two, came the special plant "ginseng".

Then, props come into play.

A 660-year-old mountain ginseng excavated by the old man himself.

That's not a problem.

The problem is, after the narration, the old man took this old ginseng as a sample and took Xu Guangling to learn about the medicinal properties of ginseng.

Not to mention Chen Zhihe, even Xu Guangling was surprised, "Teacher, you don't need this, do you?"

It's not that this ginseng is very precious.

Well, it is indeed very precious, but for the elderly, it should not be worth mentioning. However, this is obviously a plant of ginseng with a rather commemorative nature.Use it in an ordinary teaching demonstration?

This is no longer simply a waste of words to describe it.

"It will be used sooner or later. Do you want my old man to take it underground?"

"You are my closed disciple, so if you don't use it on you, what else can you use it for?"

The old man's two words indifferently ended the dissent on this point.

It also made Chen Zhihe, the "non-closed disciple", feel sour in his stomach.

Teacher, both are disciples, how can this difference in treatment be so great?But looking at the little junior beside him, the future "Grand Master", the imbalance in Chen Zhihe's heart quickly rebalanced.

So, next.

right in the backyard.

Head, tail, beard, upper middle lower part, epidermis, outer side, inner side, core, sliced, ground, and whole.

Soaking in water, boiling in water, steaming in water, soaking in wine, boiling in wine, steaming in wine, dry drying, honey roasting...

Just like that, Xu Guangling took the first class of preliminary treatment of medicinal materials.

Of course, as a medicinal material, this ginseng was not wasted, and it was finally shared among the four people.

For ordinary people, the absorption of medicinal materials is very slow, because many active ingredients of medicinal materials are macromolecules, and "difficult to digest" is one of its characteristics. When talking about this point, the old man gave Xu Guangling a It talked about the "nine steams and nine systems" in the processing of medicinal materials.

"At the beginning, it should be that some great doctors found that some medicinal materials were difficult to absorb effectively after ordinary steaming. Therefore, they might try to steam one more time on the basis of steaming only once."

"This attempt opens up a new world of medicinal material processing."

"The so-called nine steaming nine system, this 'nine' does not mean the exact number nine, but just means more than once, specifically, it may be two times, three times, four times, or it may be five, six, seven or eight times. Maybe no more, no less, just nine times."

"The nine-steam method is applied in two ways."

"One is the degradation of certain indigestible medicinal properties, and the second is the elimination of certain toxic medicinal properties."

"This is a method of treating medicinal materials that is simple in theory but complex in practice. There are many specific details that cannot be done without great doctors."

"If you are not a great doctor, you will either beg for the sword, or use the glue stick to play the trick, or you will be reduced to pretending to be a ghost, or it will be futile, or it will be counterproductive, or you will mislead yourself and others."

Xu Guangling nodded in understanding.

The "great doctor" here for the old man is probably him after mastering the Shennong Jue, or the old man and Chen Lao. In short, after tasting, one can know the efficacy of the medicine.

Only on this basis can we truly grasp this method.

After finishing the lecture, the old man started acupuncture for several people and himself, in order to let the ginseng liquid he drank just now be absorbed quickly.

This is a special set of stitches.

As a follower of acupuncture and moxibustion, and also as a person who has been promoted to a generation of medical masters from the "nourishing" method, the old man's acupuncture method is called "one of the more experienced gadgets" by the old man himself.

Before, the old man had taught Xu Guangling.

But today's stitching is a little different.

"Zhuoyan, after reading your acupuncture methods for the past two days, I have made some small changes to this set of acupuncture methods. Would you like to give me some advice?"

Chen Zhihe was dumbfounded again.

The teacher asked the younger brother to give him advice?

This……

This!

After the acupuncture, the three of them started walking in the courtyard, while Xu Guangling practiced the eight-style Sanshou, and was surrounded by the three people who had finished the walking.

After the practice, Xu Guangling said to Chen Zhihe: "Brother, if you don't mind, I'll teach you a Sanshou as well. It may be of some use to you now."
