The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

"Brother, are you back so soon?" Zhong Wen finished his examination of Li Zhengxiang, and after telling everyone, he came to the house from the temple. When Zhong Wen arrived at the door of the house, Xiao Hua took a look. He saw Zhong Wen and jumped out of the house.

"Well, my brother is fast, and it will be done within a few days." Zhong Wen touched Xiao Hua's head and said dotingly.

"Xiaowen, is the matter settled?" Xiu saw her eldest son come back, and walked out of the house with Xiaowu in her arms.

"Aniang, everything is done, but I have something to do in the temple, so I greet you a little later." Zhong Wen said as he hugged Xiao Wu from his aunt's arms.

"Okay, as long as the matter is settled." Xiu had nothing to say to Zhong Wen. Although she was worried in her heart, she didn't show anything at this time.

As soon as the "hit" fell into Zhong Wen's hands, the little guy stretched out his chubby hand, making a gesture to hit Zhong Wen, which made Xiao Hua, who was standing by the side, very happy.

As long as Xiao Wu wants to hit her brother, Xiao Hua feels that Xiao Wu is aiming at her.

"Brother, beat yourself up, be careful I'll spank your little ass." Zhong Wen looked at the little man in his arms and said jokingly.

But Zhong Mugen in the room was like an old man, he didn't come out to speak, and he didn't ask Zhong Wen anything.

Afterwards, Zhong Wen went into the house and greeted his father, which can be regarded as the achievement of Mr. Zhong's state.

……

In the middle of the night, Chen Feng and the others finally rushed back from Lizhou City.

It can be described as the best of Xin Gan.

Lizhou, who set off in the morning, rushed back as soon as possible to buy good medicine and fry it for Li Zhengxiang to drink.

Running in such a cold winter, with thick snow, it is not easy to go out.

If it can't be cured, I will really feel sorry for Chen Feng and the others.

"Hurry up and decoct the medicine." In the middle of the night, Li Daoling and the others had already picked up a pair of medicines, and handed them to the servants of the Li family.

Although it is a little late, but human life is a matter of heaven, but it is not their turn to speak.

Moreover, at this time, Li Zhengxiang was getting more and more serious. After waking up once in the morning, he never woke up again throughout the day.

Decoction, that is a technical job.

Ordinary doctors would say that three bowls of water boiled into one bowl or something.

But for a doctor like Li Daoling, this is not the case.

After the servant took the medicine bag to the dining room, Zhong Wen also followed.

"You fetch water and boil it first. This medicine needs to be soaked in warm water for a quarter of an hour before decocting." Zhong Wen ordered to the servant after he entered the back kitchen.

Zhong Wen felt a little worried about the decoction, so he also participated in it.

Soaking medicinal materials is also to open up the properties of the medicinal materials first, and secondly, to remove some impurities and dirt on the surface of the medicinal materials.

The soaked medicinal materials were poured into a clay pot together with warm water for boiling, and the first water was poured out after the water boiled.

Then put in some warm water and cook again.

The warm water added this time needs to cover all the medicinal materials, more than twice the amount of water.

As for decocting one bowl with three bowls of water, Zhong Wen did not choose this way, but followed his way.

Twice the amount of water, fry it into a bowl of water, then pour out the liquid medicine and put it aside to keep warm, then add twice the amount of water, and fry it again.

The medicinal liquid after two decoctions was poured together and mixed together, which was almost two bowls of soup, so that it could be taken by Li Zhengxiang.

In the middle of the night, Zhong Wen came to Li Zhengxiang's room with soup and medicine.

At this time, everyone in the room is basically there, waiting for the decoction to be cooked, so as to know whether the decoction is effective or not.

"Master, the medicine is ready." Zhong Wen entered the room with a bowl of medicine, said to Li Daoling, and handed over the medicine bowl.

"Okay, Gao Yuan, drink it for Zhengxiang and have a look." Li Daoling handed the medicine bowl to Li Fucheng again.

Why do medicines go around?

One is to let Li Daoling see how the soup is.

Secondly, it is respect.

Every doctor can basically smell all the medicinal materials from the taste of the decoction. Of course, he also needs to confirm the quality of the decocted decoction and whether there is no problem with the decoction method.

Speaking of which, this is why many famous Chinese medicine experts always like to smell the soup and medicine, and these famous experts seldom go to see the medicine residue, they only need to smell the smell to know how the soup and medicine are.

Of course, some prescriptions will be mixed with some poisonous medicinal materials, which makes these famous experts pay more attention to it. After all, poisonous medicines will enter the human body after decoction.

Similarly, this method is also for fear that others will not understand, but decocting medicine blindly will cause the soup medicine to fail to meet the requirements.

Chapter 354 A Decoction for a Life

As the soup was fed spoon by spoon, time was slowly passing by.

The people in the room didn't leave, they sat or stood quietly all the time, they all wanted to see if there was any improvement after this bowl of soup and medicine went down, even if there was only a little improvement, that would be a good appearance .

"Master, you are old, why don't you go to rest first, I will guard here." Zhong Wen looked at Li Daoling and the other two old people, and reminded in a low voice.

"Nothing, let's wait." Li Daoling looked at Li Gaoyuan, then at Li Zhengxiang who was on the bed and replied.

Although Li Daoling was older, in terms of health, he was definitely much better than Li Gaoyuan.

On the contrary, it was Li Gaoyuan, besides the worry on his face, he didn't know how to describe his spirit.

Maybe it's also because of long-term worries about his grandson's illness, or maybe it's because of his age, and now he's staying up late, any old man probably can't bear it.

The sky began to brighten, and nearly an hour had passed since the decoction entered Li Zhengxiang's stomach.

At this time, Li Zhengxiang, who was lying on the bed, suddenly began to cough violently, making the people in the room feel a little at a loss.

No one expected that what was supposed to be a peaceful prescription soup, did not expect such a result.

"Quick, Jiushou, bring the needle." Li Daoling looked at Li Zhengxiang, who was coughing violently, and was shocked, and brought the needle to Zhong Wen.

Zhong Wen fished it out casually, took the needle from the side table and handed it over.

"Cough cough cough..."

After several injections of Li Daoling, Li Zhengxiang's violent cough became more and more serious.

Moreover, at this moment, what Li Zhengxiang coughed up was bloodshot.

But at this time, Li Gaoyuan and his son looked worried, and stared closely at the side of the bed, as if they were afraid that something might go wrong.

"Master, don't get the needle, let him cough for a while." At this moment, Zhong Wen saw that there was a trace of blackness in what Li Zhengxiang coughed up, and hurriedly called his master to stop.

"If you keep coughing like this, maybe something will happen." Li Daoling was worried that Li Zhengxiang would cough like this. Afraid of something happening, he didn't listen to Zhong Wen's intention and continued to stick the needle.

"Master, look, the blood is blackish. If the cough stops now, maybe I won't be able to spit out these things." Zhong Wen stopped his master again.

At this time, Li Daoling looked at the blood that Li Zhengxiang spat out, and his heart was greatly moved.

But Zhong Wen's words reminded him, and he quickly pulled out the needle and began to check what Li Zhengxiang had spit out.

"Brother Daoling, how is it? Is it really okay for Zhengxiang to cough like this?" Li Gaoyuan asked nervously.

"I don't know yet, let's wait for a quarter of an hour and take a look." Li Daoling looked at what Li Zhengxiang vomited, feeling puzzled.

Although, what Li Zhengxiang vomited was full of blood from the beginning to the present, and the blood was tinged with black, but Li Daoling didn't know what the black ball was.

Afterwards, Li Daoling stretched out his hand to pick it up again, and smelled it again.

"Nine poems, it really has a metallic taste." After smelling it, Li Daoling spoke to Zhong Wen behind him.

And Zhong Wen, who stood behind Li Daoling, looked at his master's actions, and felt even more ashamed in his heart.

As a doctor, if you don't even dare to smell this smell, how can you become a great doctor?

Speaking of which, Zhong Wen has never assumed the identity of a doctor, or even treated himself as a doctor.

Therefore, as for looking, hearing and asking, the only thing that is missing is the matter of hearing.

And with Li Daoling's personal demonstration, it can be regarded as giving Zhong Wen the greatest experience.

Afterwards, Zhong Wen also stretched out his hand, twitched it, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, only then did he confirm what his master said, it was a smell with some kind of metal.

"Master, it seems that our guess is correct, Layman Li must have been poisoned by some kind of metal." Zhong Wen responded.

"Well, it's a good thing you stopped me from getting the needles, otherwise, the few needles for the teacher will really hurt Zhengxiang." Li Daoling responded.

But following Li Daoling's response, Zhong Wen's face became even more unnatural.

A master is a master.

No matter from which aspect, I cannot surpass myself.

Even if I made a mistake, I can admit it, maybe this is the duty of a master.

For Zhong Wen, this is not only a teaching, but also an education in life.

"Thank you for your teaching, master." Zhong Wen hurriedly stepped back and saluted his master to show that his disciple was not here.

And everyone in the room looked at Zhong Wen, feeling that Zhong Wen's big ceremony seemed a little too sudden.

"Okay, let's not be so particular. If you didn't say that Zhengxiang was poisoned by metal, I wouldn't know where to start as a teacher." Li Daoling quickly helped Zhongwen and said.

Perhaps, Zhong Wen's approach came from the bottom of his heart, and secondly, it was just for the sake of his master's face in front of outsiders.

Even if Li Gaoyuan's family has been acquainted with his master for so long, even if they are old friends, Zhong Wen's careful thinking must be a starting point.

By making a big salute, I can show my master's superb medical skills and ethics, and even more so, to show the virtues that an expert should have.

After Li Zhengxiang coughed violently on the bed, he spit out more and more things.

But the yellow and black on his face also began to dissipate a little.

After more than a quarter of an hour, the severe coughing stopped.

Instead, he coughed lightly.

As time went on, the mild cough turned into an occasional cough.

And at this time, from midnight to breakfast the next morning, Li Zhengxiang's complexion became better and better.

"Master, you should go to rest quickly. Layman Li's illness has stabilized. Aunt Yu and the others probably have already prepared breakfast. You can eat some breakfast and go to rest. I will take care of you here. Don't worry." " After Zhong Wen took the pulse of Li Zhengxiang who was on the bed, he found that his condition had been relieved, and he felt relieved.

"Okay, Gao Yuan, you guys should hurry up and go to rest. Everyone didn't rest this night. Just leave it to Jiushou." Li Daoling also took his pulse, and after confirming, he turned to Li Gaoyuan and his son. The two said.

"Brother Daoling, Daoist Nine Heads, Daoist Chen, please accept my father and son's worship, thank you for saving my grandson." Li Gaoyuan hurriedly took his son to salute Li Daoling's master and apprentice.

They were already on the verge of despair, and they brought Li Zhengxiang to Longquan Temple. They started with the heart of a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

But after coming to Longquan Temple, Li Daoling was helpless, which made their hearts fall to the bottom.

And after Zhong Wen came back, their hearts began to climb from the bottom of the valley, until last night when they saw Li Zhengxiang coughing violently, they began to fall to the bottom of the valley again.

But what followed was a big turnaround.

They didn't expect that Li Zhengxiang's condition began to stabilize after drinking just such a bowl of soup and medicine.

Although he has not fully woken up yet, his face is no longer what it was before, and it has begun to return to normal.

From the surface, it can be seen that their grandson and son are already saved.

"Gao Yuan, don't be like this, Zheng Xiang is also my junior, it is reasonable to save him, there is no need to do this, there is no need to do this." Li Daoling quickly reached out to help him.

"Brother Daoling, if we hadn't come here this time, maybe my grandson would have been gone long ago. Alas, my Li family owes you too much." Li Gaoyuan shook his head, and his old tears began to drip.

"Okay, it will be fine in the future, let's go, go to rest first, here is Jiushou to take care of you, you can also go to sleep at ease, these days, your body can't resist it." Li Daoling mixed Holding on to his old friend, he walked outside the house.

"Uncle Chen, go and rest too, I'm here." Zhong Wen turned to Chen Feng after seeing his master and the others leave.

"Okay, then take good care of him, and call me if you need something." Chen Feng knew that he had no use for him here, so he had to leave.

In the past, Chen Feng might be able to heal and save people, but now, he can't understand Li Zhengxiang's illness.Even when the master and apprentice were discussing yesterday morning, he could hear it in a daze.

If he wants to ask, it is not easy for him to ask, the time is urgent, and he will only ask again when he is free.

In the room, only Zhong Wen was left, and a servant from the Li family, and of course, Li Zhengxiang who was on the bed.

Although Zhong Wen said that he stayed to look after him, he was only looking after the servants of the Li family. On the other hand, Zhong Wen at this time was sitting on the side, meditating quietly.

As long as Li Zhengxiang is not awake for the time being, Zhong Wen can't leave. After all, he doesn't know whether there will be any sequelae after drinking this soup.

It's easy to ask Li Zhengxiang when he is awake.

Half an hour later, a small figure came in from the door of the house. This small figure was Li Zhengxiang's son, Li Wenjie.

"Uncle Yu, how is my father? Is he well?" After Li Wenjie came in, he went straight to the bed, looked at his father on the bed, and asked in a low voice to the servant of the Li family.

"Don't worry, Mr. Li Daochang and Mr. Daoist Xiao. They showed you last night and drank the medicine. I heard that you should be able to wake up today. It will be better in a few days. Don't worry, Mr. Xiaolang. .” The servant of the Li family also responded in a low voice.
