You don't understand the world of Chinese medicine

What Tang Mingyuan gave Xu Xiaoxi were some hawthorn pills and plums. Some Tang Mingyuan got for Chu Jin, and some got from Cheng Lao. These kinds of things are the best snacks.

After seeing off Xu Fang's father and daughter, Chu Jin said, "Do you want to talk to Master?"

Tang Mingyuan nodded and said, "I'll ask Master Uncle if he has any news."

Chu Jin nodded, Tang Mingyuan looked at the time, and then called Cheng Lao. He didn't talk about the double-needle thing first. He was going to meet up and talk about it. Instead, he asked about the exchange meeting. Asking Tang Mingyuan to wait for his call, he went to ask someone.

Aunt Zhang took the two big bags that Xu Fang sent and asked, "Master, where are these?"

"Let me take a look." Tang Mingyuan took the things over, and took them out of the bag one by one. Although the bag is inconspicuous, the box inside is pretty good. You can smell the medicine box through the wooden box. Open it casually One of them is all excellent medicinal materials, and none of them are ordinary medicinal materials, such as ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, Polygonum multiflorum, velvet antler, musk...

The things are very expensive. Looking at these things is like looking at piles of money. Tang Mingyuan put the lid back on and said, "I'll keep some and send the rest to my uncle."

Chu Jinen let out a sigh, and didn't care about these things, "Actually, I..."

Before he could speak, Tang Mingyuan's cell phone rang, and Chu Jin stopped, looked at the number, and answered, "Uncle Master."

Old Cheng's voice was a little exasperated, "I just inquired about the exchange meeting in country M, and there was one thing that looked like the three-legged medicine stove lost by Shimen."

Tang Mingyuan swallowed subconsciously, "Is Master Uncle real?"

"I'm not sure either." Cheng Lao sighed and said, "You have to see it with your own eyes. I asked the people above, because some things, the above also arranged for people to buy them back, and the description sounds like a teacher's door." the three-legged medicine furnace."

Tang Mingyuan breathed out slowly and said, "Uncle Shi, I understand. I will go to this exchange meeting. If it is the three-legged medicine furnace of the master's school, I will try my best to bring it back." Even if I can't bring it back, I know the three-legged medicine stove The whereabouts of the medicine stove will be easy to find at that time.

Mr. Cheng hummed, and said with a bit of sadness in his voice, "We have been robbed and cheated of our own things, and we have to spend money to buy them."

Tang Mingyuan pursed his lower lip and did not speak. Old Cheng sighed and said, "Go and see, even if it's not something from our country, bring it back if you can."

"By the way, uncle, I found a clue to the double needle." Tang Mingyuan said, "It looks like the handwriting left by the elders of the master..." Tang Mingyuan gave the general situation.

Cheng Lao said, "Come over tomorrow and bring that book."

"Okay." Tang Mingyuan answered, said a few more words, and then hung up the phone.

Chu Jin looked at Tang Mingyuan, Tang Mingyuan put his arms around Chu Jin and kissed, "I feel like I'm dreaming." After searching for things for so long without clues, but now they found two things in a row, which made Tang Mingyuan feel like sitting at home The feeling of 500 million falling from the sky.

"I understand." Chu Jin also heard it, and said, "Let Zhao Quan go with you." If possible, he also wanted to accompany Tang Mingyuan, but unfortunately he knew his situation, and he was a little reluctant to fly from Beijing to Rongcheng Can't live, let alone go to country M, even the venue is still on the cruise ship, "I'll wait for you at home."

Tang Mingyuan responded with a smile, "I promise not to look at the beautiful young ladies."

Chu Jin raised her eyebrows, "Zhao Quan will watch over you for me."

Tang Mingyuan put his arms around Chu Jin's waist and fell on the sofa together and said, "Baby, you are so cute, I really want to make you smaller and carry you in my pocket."

In the early morning of the next day, Tang Mingyuan brought books to find Mr. Cheng. Chu Jin wanted to arrange the company's affairs, and the funds had to be prepared, so that Tang Mingyuan would not lose the opportunity to buy things because of money matters. .

When Tang Mingyuan arrived at the courtyard, Mr. Cheng was packing up the medicinal materials. When he saw Tang Mingyuan, he handed over the matter to the apprentice and said, "Did you bring the book?"

"En." Tang Mingyuan accompanied Mr. Cheng into the house, and took the book out of the bag. The book and the book were packed in the box, and the cover had not been reinstalled. Mr. Cheng washed and dried his hands before holding it carefully. Looking at it, Tang Mingyuan also took out his notes and put them aside, then sat aside and waited quietly.

Mr. Cheng read it slowly and seriously. After reading it once, he went to Tang Mingyuan's notes, and finally started to look at the place where the needle was hidden on the spine of the book. He asked for a long time, "What do you think?"

"According to Shimen's habit, generally the whole number is obtained, because there may be errors in the measurement, so I consider the Shang Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms and the Southern Dynasty. The one chi of these three dynasties is about 16.95 centimeters, 24.2 centimeters and 25.8 centimeters. "Tang Mingyuan said, "The earliest medical instruments should be made of Bianstone, and Bianstone needles should have been used in the Neolithic Age."

Cheng Lao didn't interrupt Tang Mingyuan's train of thought, nodded his head and waited for Tang Mingyuan to continue. Tang Mingyuan said, "There are many Bianstone needles of various shapes unearthed in Huaguo, but the Bianstone needles at that time can also be said to be the earliest operation. Knives, the typical one is the meteorite needle found in Mongolia, the needle has a sharp end and a flat curved edge."

"Then there are the bronze needles unearthed from the ancient tombs of the Western Zhou Dynasty." Tang Mingyuan said, "The lotus needles are only a few millimeters long, but the needles are still very sharp. describe."

Tang Mingyuan said that these are not without reasons. Bianshi is the founder of acupuncture therapy, and the development of acupuncture is also from Bianshi, bronze, nine needles to today's filiform needles.

"Master said that the records of the double needles are neither gold nor jade. I began to wonder if it was bronze or iron?" Tang Mingyuan said, "Later, three silver needles were unearthed from the Han tomb. The shape of a noose is more suitable for holding acupuncture and moxibustion. There are descriptions of nine needles in the "Huangdi Neijing" and "Lingshu Jing". According to the description, the longest needle among the nine needles is about 15 cm long."

"The gold and silver needles mentioned by Shimen do not conform to any existing records." Tang Mingyuan gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, I doubted whether our founder was Bian Que. After all, the earliest history of Huaguo used pulse diagnosis to diagnose diseases. My doctor is Bian Que, and he is good at internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, and five sense organs, etc." They also learned a lot of different disciplines, which can be said to be very comprehensive.Moreover, Tang Mingyuan guessed Bian Que because he was proud of his sect and always felt that his sect had a bright future.

Cheng Lao said, "And then?"

"Later I thought it was impossible." Tang Mingyuan didn't tell Mr. Cheng how much time it took him to deny his guesses one by one, "Because Shimen's theory pays great attention to yin and yang and five elements, and the five flavors of medicine are divided into yin and yang. ", and the theory of 'medicine has yin and yang' is mentioned in the "Huangdi Neijing", so it cannot be Bian Que."

Tang Mingyuan said, "Then could it be Zhang Zhongjing, Hua Tuo or Dong Feng, one of them? Will the division be the Eastern Han Dynasty? At least the Shang Dynasty has been ruled out."

"But judging from the writing time of "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" and "Huang Di Nei Jing", it cannot be one of the three of them." Tang Mingyuan's face was calm, but there was a kind of depressive pain in his eyes, "Then it is the period of the Three Kingdoms and the Southern and Northern Dynasties. However, both the Three Kingdoms and the Southern and Northern Dynasties were in constant turmoil, not to mention the period of the Three Kingdoms. In the Southern and Northern Dynasties period after the Three Kingdoms, among the ten official histories known today, there are 68 records of the massacre of the city, and excluding repeated records, there are also 47 times. , slaughtered more than 70 cities, was the Shimen founded in the Three Kingdoms or the Southern and Northern Dynasties? Even in the Three Kingdoms period, after experiencing the massacres of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Shimen can keep the legendary gold and silver double needles? And according to the environment of that period, the Shimen is more The focus should be on surgery."

"The most important point is that according to what the teacher is good at, the founder of the mountain is more like a wandering doctor." Tang Mingyuan looked at Mr. Cheng, "Some prescriptions were used in the army during the cold weapon period, and some were more suitable for dignitaries. There are also techniques for delivering babies, and techniques for making babies...Ordinary people will study medicinal food? Those medical skills and prescriptions are more like a teacher's collection of a little bit, and then write them down based on their own treatment cases and practical experience, and they will continue to increase from generation to generation. Accumulate, and only then will there be a later teacher."

"According to what Master told me, it is not gold, not jade, soft and hollow, and such materials and manufacturing technology are simply impossible for a wandering doctor to obtain." Tang Mingyuan's face was pale, "So, Master Uncle's gold and silver double needles really exist. ?"

Speaking of the last sentence, Tang Mingyuan's tone was full of pleading and weakness that he could not detect. He hoped that Mr. Cheng would refute his speculations and hope that his speculations were false. In fact, he had doubts a long time ago, until he got this This book, "Or, in fact, I miscalculated the length? Or is the gold and silver double needle made of meteorites? It is recorded in "The Chronicles of the First Emperor", '36 years, Yinghuo guards the heart. There is a falling star in Dongjun, and the ground is a stone. .' So maybe there was a meteorite that fell later and was picked up by the founder of the mountain, and that's why the gold and silver double needles were created?"

"The handwriting in this book is not Master's, but the medication habits are similar to Master's. When I didn't find the Bupleurum pattern, I referred to the description of the disease and drew up the prescription myself. I found that the similarity is very high, and the medication habits are also similar." Tang Mingyuan clenched his hands tightly, took a deep breath with his head down, and then continued, "My medication habits are inherited from my master, so what about the author of this book? But there are clues to double needles hidden in the book...so double needles Isn’t the needle passed down from the founder of the mountain, but made later?”

For the first time, Mr. Cheng saw daze in Tang Mingyuan's eyes, sighed in his heart and said, "There are gold and silver needles."

Tang Mingyuan's eyes showed ecstasy, but before he could open his mouth, Mr. Cheng continued, "Actually, apart from me and your master, there is another elder brother in the master's school. Back then, the master was old and lacked energy, and your master often followed Senior brother learned it, but unfortunately senior brother went the wrong way, and there was no news later. This book is in senior senior brother's handwriting." When senior senior brother left, Cheng Lao was not very old, and his memory of senior senior brother was amazing. , "I don't know the origin of the double needle. I'm afraid only the elder brother knows the truth, and the truth may not be so wonderful."

"It's also because I was wrong." Because I cared, it was inevitable to think more. Tang Mingyuan thought of the set of acupuncture methods and prescriptions left by his master, and said slowly, "The gold and silver needles are based on the description of the craft. It's hard to do it, but in ancient times, there were indeed many capable people, Lu Ban, Wang Er, Zhang Heng, Bi Sheng, Li Chun, Li Bing and his son..." I don't know whether Tang Mingyuan is convincing himself or Cheng Lao, "not to mention "" "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" also originated from Shen Nong's family, maybe the inheritance of the master's school was taught by the immortals, after all, there are gods and monsters in many ancient books, and monsters can teach, anyway, the purpose is to cure diseases and save people."

Cheng Lao said, "Just think about it yourself. In fact, you just think about traveling as a doctor. War is the worst era and the best era. At that time, if the patriarch happens to be rich and powerful, and interested in medicine, you can also do it." If a large number of people who know medicine and medicine come to join us, the ancestors will naturally learn a lot and miscellaneous."

Tang Mingyuan responded, and Mr. Cheng said, "The gold and silver needles really exist, but I didn't expect the senior brother to find them, but they were lost again? I don't know if the senior senior brother's descendants are still there, maybe there will be clues."

"Didn't the uncle be expelled from the school?" Tang Mingyuan asked suddenly, "Why do you say he went the wrong way? But my master didn't mention the uncle?"

Mr. Cheng looked at Tang Mingyuan and said, "I don't know about that. Okay, now let's talk about the auction in country M. Is the money in your hand convenient? I still have some things here. I heard that they can be bartered." .”

"Master, don't worry." Tang Mingyuan said, "I am raised by Xiao Jin."

Cheng Lao slapped Tang Mingyuan on the head, "Where's your ambition?"

Tang Mingyuan chuckled, but didn't say anything else, "Others gave me a lot of things, and I sent them to my uncle when I didn't need them."

"Medicine?" Cheng Lao asked.

Tang Mingyuan said, "There are some old ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum."

Cheng Lao nodded and said, "I see."

After chatting for a while, Tang Mingyuan was about to leave, and suddenly said, "Actually, I like watching Sherlock Holmes very much. There is a saying in it, 'If you eliminate the impossible, the rest, even if it is impossible, is the truth.' What does the uncle think?" ?”

Cheng Lao's eyes flashed, and he said without hesitation, "Who is that, I don't know."

Tang Mingyuan chuckled and said, "Master, wait for my good news."

Old Cheng hummed, and Tang Mingyuan took his leave and left. When Tang Mingyuan was no longer in sight, Old Cheng sighed slowly.

When Tang Mingyuan came home, Chu Jin had already arranged things, and Zhao Quan would arrange the work as soon as possible, and then went to country M with Tang Mingyuan. When seeing Tang Mingyuan, Chu Jin suddenly smiled and said, "Understood?"

"Yes." Tang Mingyuan said, "I'll tell you after I take a shower."

Chu Jin responded. Since getting the book, although Tang Mingyuan tried his best to show that there was nothing wrong with it, Chu Jin could still see that his emotions were wrong. However, Tang Mingyuan didn't want to say it, so Chu Jin didn't ask. I don't want to force Tang Mingyuan, but when Tang Mingyuan thinks it through, he will naturally tell him.

Tang Mingyuan came out of the shower, and Chu Jin was already waiting for him in the bedroom. Juice and snacks were still on the table. Tang Mingyuan smiled helplessly, wiped his hair and walked over, and nestled on the sofa with Chu Jin. Holding a glass of juice, he drank slowly, and repeated the speculations he had said to Cheng Lao today.

Chu Jin said, "So you think Master lied to you? There are no double needles at all?"

"Yes." Tang Mingyuan said, "Because it feels too unreal. If you look at the marks on the spine of the book, the S-shape has high requirements for the needle. If the needle can't be straightened when you pull it out, it will be fun, and the book's The author is a medical student, would he ruin things like this?"

Chu Jin was amused when she saw Tang Mingyuan's expression, and Tang Mingyuan deliberately made an expression that you were really not kidding me.

"So how do you figure it out now?" Chu Jin was a little curious.

Tang Mingyuan shook Chu Jin's arms, "As long as the medicine stove and the gold and silver needles really exist, it doesn't matter who the master is from? Even if my master told me in a dream at night, in fact, the medical skills of our master's founder were taught by immortals. I will also accept it without any grievances, in fact, such a thought is quite lofty."

Chu Jin didn't know what to say about Tang Mingyuan, Tang Mingyuan said seriously, "What is certain now is that I originally thought that rebuilding would be impossible, and I can only find things out."

"Isn't there a clue?" Chu Jin was more thoughtful than Tang Mingyuan, "and Master won't joke about such things."

Tang Mingyuan said, "Who made the master speak in a vague way, and when the uncle mentioned the uncle, he always felt that there was something wrong."

Chu Jin looked at Tang Mingyuan, Tang Mingyuan shrugged after thinking for a while and said, "It doesn't matter, it has nothing to do with me."

"En." Chu Jin said, "Don't keep things to yourself in the future."

Tang Mingyuan kissed Chu Jin's earlobe, "Don't you know what to say? But I still have to look for double needles."

"What about the school?" Chu Jin asked. Back then, Tang Mingyuan learned history in order to check the history of Shimen. "Have you considered changing the department?"

Tang Mingyuan hesitated and said, "I've considered dropping out of school." Now that he has clues, then he must spend more time studying Chinese medicine and finding double needles and medicine stoves in the future, and has been asking for leave?There is no respect for the school or teachers.

Chu Jin touched Tang Mingyuan's big dog's head and said, "Then drop out."

Tang Mingyuan said pitifully, "Don't dislike my low education?"

Chu Jin was amused, "You should think about how to explain to Teacher Yu."

Tang Mingyuan looked at Chu Jin eagerly, and Chu Jin pushed his head away cruelly and said, "I don't care about you."

"Okay." Tang Mingyuan held Chu Jin's hand and said with a smile, "When your illness is cured, we will go to school together."

Chu Jin asked, "Do you still want to take the college entrance examination again?"

"..." Tang Mingyuan thought for a while and said, "Then let's travel around the world first."

Chu Jin stopped talking, Tang Mingyuan said, "Let me say hello to my uncle first."

"En." Chu Jin said, "Master Uncle may want you to transfer to another department."

Tang Mingyuan shrugged, just like what Chu Jin said, as soon as Mr. Cheng heard Tang Mingyuan's words, he suggested that he change departments, and offered to help him say hello there. Tang Mingyuan was very moved and then flatly refused, until he brought Zhao Quan along with him. Xu Fang paid for getting on the plane, and Tang Mingyuan was all about dropping out of school.

Although the roommate Wen Nan felt a little pity, he still expressed his understanding. The two exchanged addresses. Wen Nan's father was about to be discharged from the hospital. Their family was very grateful to Tang Mingyuan.

On the other hand, Qian Yu, the squad leader who had conflicts with Tang Mingyuan at the beginning, was completely dumbfounded when he found out about it. He thought a lot about how to take revenge on Tang Mingyuan. Who knew that Tang Mingyuan asked for leave first, and then dropped out of school directly, which made him feel inexplicably lost and disappointed. .

Apart from Xu Fang, there were a few other people who walked together. Tang Mingyuan didn't know him and had no intention of dealing with them. Xu Fang not only brought his secretary but also his bodyguards, while Tang Mingyuan brought Zhao Quan with him. Someone recognized Zhao Quan. Looking at Zhao Quan's attitude towards Tang Mingyuan, and Xu Fang's closeness to Tang Mingyuan, let alone belittle Tang Mingyuan, he was always guessing Tang Mingyuan's identity.

Tang Mingyuan wore a blindfold and kept talking, "Brother Zhao said what is Xiao Jin doing now? We haven't been separated for so long, and I don't know if he will miss me so much that he can't eat."

"..." Zhao Quan was silent for a while and said, "Didn't you say you want to sleep?"

Tang Mingyuan sighed quietly, "Xiao Jin is not by my side, what should I do if I can't sleep?"

"Then shut up." Zhao Quan is not like Zhang Qiang who can only complain silently in his heart, "Then miss him silently."

Tang Mingyuan said, "How sad does that make me look?"

Zhao Quan sneered twice and said, "How sad am I listening to you?"

"..." Tang Mingyuan said confidently, "I will be separated from my lover for a few days, and the longing is already miserable enough, so you can be miserable with me."

Zhao Quan was silent for a long time before he said, "I have never seen such a brazen person like you."

Tang Mingyuan pretended he didn't hear, and moved his blindfold to make himself more comfortable, and began to say, "There is still jet lag, which means I can't watch my Xiaojin fall asleep."

Zhao Quan took out earplugs from his bag and plugged his ears.

At this time, Chu Jin, who Tang Mingyuan was thinking of, welcomed an unexpected guest. It is not accurate to say that it was an accident, but he did not expect that Cheng Lao would really come. Cheng Lao was sent by Ye Yun, "Xiao Yuan is the most worried What you need is your body, so I will stay here for a few days."

It's not that Chu Jin won't prescribe a doctor, but Tang Mingyuan is more at ease when someone is with him.

Chu Jin said, "Thank you, Master Uncle." He would not refuse other people's kindness, and this really made Tang Mingyuan feel more at ease.In fact, Tang Mingyuan considered inviting Mrs. Cheng to come, but he didn't want Mrs. Cheng to be too tired, so he didn't say anything in the end, but explained to Aunt Zhang and Zhang Qiang carefully. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Cheng came over by himself, "Xiaoyuan is afraid of your hard work. After hesitating for a long time, I'm not ashamed to call and talk to you."

Cheng Lao laughed and said, "What's the trouble, that kid just thinks too much." This not only said that he didn't call, but also implied that the double needle was inside.

Chu Jin said defensively, "Because no one can think for him, so he can only think more on his own, so as not to make mistakes."

The author has something to say:

""Shen Nong's Materia Medica" originated from the Shennong family. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, many medical scientists began to collect and summarize it. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was compiled into a book. The time when the "Huang Di Nei Jing" was written is a mystery. Among all existing historical books, it is the earliest mention of "Huang Di Nei Jing" "is "Hanshu Yiwenzhi", "Huangdi Neijing" eighteen volumes, "Waijing" 37 volumes', "Hanshu" was written by Ban Gu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but it was written by Liu San at the end of the Western Han Dynasty. The "Qi Lue" was the base draft, and in the "Acupuncture and Moxibustion A and B Classics: Preface" written by Huang Fumi, a medical scientist in the Western Jin Dynasty, there is a paragraph that reads, "According to "Qi Lue" and "Yi Wen Zhi", the "Huang Di Nei Jing" eighteen volumes' That means it appeared at the latest at the end of the Western Han Dynasty." Tang Mingyuan's face was calm, but there was a kind of depressive pain in his eyes, "Cheng Hao and Sima Guang in the Northern Song Dynasty all believed that "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" It was written during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but the medical books unearthed in Mawangdui include 14 medical books such as "Moxibustion Classic of Eleven Vessels of Foot and Arm", "Moxibustion Classic of Eleven Vessels of Yin and Yang", which only contain eleven meridians, while Huangdi Neijing There are twelve meridians, no matter in terms of theory or perfection, the eleven meridians are earlier than the twelve meridians, and the tomb owner of Mawangdui was buried in the 12th year of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, which means that the "Huangdi Neijing" was written later In the 12th year of Emperor Hanwen, who was the fifth emperor of the Western Han Dynasty."
