Dinghai Fusheng Records

When Chen Xing woke up, he found that he had returned to Xie's house. He couldn't remember what happened last night. He only vaguely remembered that the last thing he remembered was drinking with Feng Qianjun.

"morning."

After washing up, Chen Xing went through the courtyard to the main hall, and first met the owner Xie An. Xie An had just returned from court, but when he saw Chen Xing, his expression was very strange.Xiang Shu sat alone in the living room having lunch, glanced at Chen Xing, and said nothing.

"Yesterday His Majesty sent me into the palace temporarily," Xie An explained, "I kept you waiting for a long time."

Now Chen Xing saw that Xie An's way was coming, but he didn't expose him, and said, "Oh? What did your Majesty say? Has the money been returned?"

Xie An said: "Aiming at the 70 taels, His Majesty specially issued an imperial decree, which will be sent to the Feng family today. The solution will definitely satisfy everyone."

Chen Xing thought that you were reneging on the order... Then he looked at Xiang Shu and said, "Did I get drunk last night?"

Xie An and Xiang Shu exchanged a look. In this look, a large amount of information was exchanged quickly.

"I didn't do anything strange last night, did I?" Chen Xing suddenly felt a little dangerous.

Xiang Shu: "You just made a big fuss in Xie's mansion, and then jumped into the lotus planting tank to take a bath..."

Chen Xing: "!!!"

Xie An: "Brother Xiang wanted to pull you out, but you still hugged Brother Xiang, pulling and pulling, kissing and..."

Item statement: "Cough!"

Xie An then stopped talking, Chen Xing blushed suddenly, extremely embarrassed, "cough cough" several times, and then said: "I heard that there is a plague in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Chen Xing changed the subject, but Xie An didn't know much about it. He recalled it for a long time, and then said: "It seems that there was a saying a few years ago that there was an epidemic in Kuaiji...but it has subsided long ago. Did you ever How did you know?"

Xie An originally worked in the Ministry of Officials, and then he was in charge of the Central Secretary Supervisor. His responsibility was to coordinate the soldiers of the northern government and coordinate and balance the differences between the gentry, the imperial power, and the gentry in the south. On the contrary, he took very little care of the people's livelihood. The Ministry heard about one or two, but he knew that since Chen Xing had asked, it must be a serious matter, so he said, "I'll send someone to ask the Minister of the Household Department to come and ask."

Chen Xing hurriedly said, "Forget it, I'll investigate it myself."

"Yesterday Your Majesty proposed to meet you two," Xie An said, "I temporarily declined, but if you have time, I think it's a good idea to meet you."

When hearing this, Chen Xing and Xiang Shu couldn't help being a little surprised, and Xie An seemed to know that Chen Xing didn't want to be an official in the court.

"Thank you so much." Chen Xing said with a smile, "But before leaving Jiankang, I will definitely find a chance to visit His Majesty, otherwise I will lose my courtesy."

The reason for Xiang Shu's surprise is that, compared with Fu Jian's absolute imperial power in the north, everything about the Sima family emperors in the south is negotiable, and resistance to the edict is not a big problem.

Chen Xing went out in the afternoon, as if there was no need to talk anymore, Xiang Shu changed his clothes and followed him out.Ordinarily, they didn't like each other's eyes, but when it came time to work, Chen Xing was used to Xiang Shu being natural, and would always follow him without saying a word.

But after getting drunk last night, the atmosphere between the two of them was particularly awkward. Chen Xing wanted to ask what happened last night, but he was afraid that the description would get darker and darker, and he couldn't say anything. Xiang Shu was still as usual, unsmiling, and left Beside Chen Xing, the two of them didn't even ride a horse, they just walked like that.

Walking out of Bird Clothes Lane to Zhuque Street, the two of them didn't talk to each other all the way. The longer it dragged on, the more embarrassing the silence became.

Chen Xing cleared his throat: "Cough! You..."

"You..." Xiang Shu also said at this moment.

The two fell silent again, Chen Xing was frantic and stood still, Xiang Shu finally said: "If you want to find a patient, you won't be able to find it on the street."

Chen Xing: "I know!"

Xiang Shu said, "Buy two horses to ride?"

"No need!" Chen Xing said casually, "It's great to be rich! I can walk by myself."

Xiang Shu: "Want to go to Kuaiji?"

Chen Xing glanced at Xiang Shu bitterly, walked across Zhuque Street, and said, "I don't want to go to Kuaiji in the near future, so I'll go to the local medical clinic. The doctors here may know something."

Apart from his job as an exorcist, Chen Xing also studied medicine as a side job. Doctors are always well-informed, because patients often bring all kinds of news.In addition, doctors, like businessmen, have their own unique guilds.

"By the way, you never told me what Suixing is?" Xiang Shu asked seemingly casually.

Chen Xing thumped in his heart, and said, "Sui Xing? Why did you suddenly ask Sui Xing?"

Xiang Shu: "Last night, I was studying the mountain-like slips, and suddenly thought of it, so I asked casually."

Xiang Shu stood still, squinting his eyes in the sun, and looked at Chen Xing. The two of them walked this way, and Chen Xing would explain all the metaphysical questions Xiang Shu raised to him if he knew about them. If he didn't know, he would tell him frankly. "have no idea".

"Oh?" Chen Xing was a little surprised, "Have you learned the mental method on that scroll?"

Xiang Shu: "You haven't answered me yet."

Chen Xing: "..."

Chen Xing had no choice but to say: "There are nine palaces in everyone's life, whether it is a secret or a broken army, seven kills, greedy wolves, and stars in the sky will be distributed in each palace, and there is one star that is in charge of the whole world. In the horoscope, this star is the 'Star of Fate'. The astrology is very complicated, and I haven't learned it myself..."

"So your birth star is the Sui Xing?" Xiang Shu said, "What determines this?"

Chen Xing: "It is said that it is the time of birth, maybe there is also the main star's own preferences? Not sure."

Xiang Shu: "How many other people are destined by the age star?"

Chen Xing wanted to change the subject, but Xiang Shu couldn't stop asking, so he had to answer directly: "There are very few people who are born in the age of the year, and only one in a few thousand years."

"So people who are born with the stars of the year will have good luck for the rest of their lives?" Xiang Shu asked again.

"Uh," Chen Xing said, "Why do you have so many questions? Theoretically, that's the case, but... Forget it, don't you think I'm really lucky?"

"But what?" Xiang Shu asked again with some doubts.

Chen Xing: "It's nothing, what's your opinion on me? Tell me if you're dissatisfied."

Xiang Shu: "I'm not dissatisfied, I just see that your luck is not good, why didn't Sui Xing give you money yesterday?"

Chen Xing: "Aren't we always safe and sound on this journey? Even if Sui Xing has blessed us, what else can we do?"

Xiang Shu: "That's because I'm saving you!"

Chen Xing stared at Xiang Shu, and suddenly smiled and said, "So, it's my luck to find you and be with you?"

There is nothing to say about this next statement, Chen Xing didn't want to say that at first, but when Xiang Shu mentioned Suixing, Chen Xing thought of many things, there are not a few years left, what's the point of refusing to admit defeat all day long?

Wait... Chen Xing suddenly became nervous. Could it be that he was drunk last night and said something wrong, and Xiang Shu must have listened to him.

But Xiang Shu didn't ask any more questions, and Chen Xing couldn't answer more questions.These days, he has gradually realized that Xiang Shu has undergone many changes. After resigning from the position of Da Shanyu, he finally became himself in front of Chen Xing. , and just a young man with a vague curiosity about the world.

Jiankang Street has eight vertical and eight horizontal lines, like a well-shaped arrangement. After the Han people crossed to the south, the city wall was expanded after imitating Chang'an. The City Traditional Chinese Medicine Center is located on Baihu Road, West Street. Plaque "Rejuvenation of Wonderful Hands".Chen Xing wondered why he saw this guy's handwriting everywhere he went in Jiankang. It looked good, but it was everywhere. If he read too much, he would feel tired.

In Huichun Hall, it was rumored that Zhu Jin, the genius doctor of Jiankang, was attending the consultation, but Zhu Jin only came for a short time in the morning every day, and occasionally went to the palace for consultation. When Chen Xing and Xiang Shu arrived, they saw a man in men's clothing The young woman was hanging down to see a doctor. Behind the side curtain, there was another figure dispensing medicine for her.

"Patients go outside to line up," the female doctor said when she saw Chen Xing, "there are too many people, follow the rules."

"I...I'm going to die..." Chen Xing pretended to be dying and said, "Doctor, this is a sudden illness..."

Item statement: "..."

"Who's sick?" The female doctor naturally saw that Chen Xing was pretending, and said angrily, "Line up! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rough!"

When he was talking, there was a sudden "ah" from behind the curtain, and the person who dispensed the medicine lifted the curtain, revealing Gu Qing in women's attire, and said with a smile, "Brother Chen?"

Chen Xing said hello with a smile, the female doctor was a little surprised, her face softened a little, Chen Xing said: "It's not for seeing a doctor, I'm also a doctor, I want to chat with you." The female doctor took a second look at Xiang Shu and said no more, just said: "Let's drink tea at the side, and I'll let you kick the hall after I've finished watching this round of patients."

Chen Xing didn't expect this girl to be so reckless, but when he thought about it, he was also like this when he was seeing patients.Gu Qing hurriedly put down his work and came over to serve tea to the two of them.

"Hey!" The female doctor said dissatisfied.

Gu Qing waved his hands and smiled, indicating that the two were distinguished guests, and the female doctor was very unhappy, so she had to call someone else to replace her.

After a while, Gu Qing sat the two of them aside and served the licorice tea brewed in the medicine hall. Chen Xing said: "I just met last night, but I'm here to bother you today. I don't know that sister, what's your name?"

"She is my senior sister." Gu Qing whispered.

Chen Xing wanted to ask about his surname or nickname, but the female doctor heard it and replied casually: "Xie Daoyun." Then she asked the patient in front of her, "What's wrong with you? Look at your tongue."

Chen Xing suddenly remembered, isn't this Xie An's niece?I saw Xie Daoyun's eyebrows protruding into her temples, without makeup and powder, and her face was stern. From the look of her demeanor, she looked like a woman.I remembered Feng Qianjun said last night that Gu Qing and Xie Daoyun were studying under Zhu Jin's command, but they didn't expect to learn a lot of medical skills, and they were more willing to come out to see a doctor.Then observe Xie Daoyun, who is wearing a martial robe, with a concise momentum, capable speech, and quite chivalrous.

Chen Xing watched his consultation and found that the medical way in the south of the Yangtze River is somewhat different from that in the Central Plains and Guanzhong. The medical way in the Central Plains is based on the theory of harmony of yin and yang and five elements. If there is a problem, first find the cause. If there is a problem with yin deficiency and yang deficiency, let the body restore the harmony of yin and yang after finding the cause .

Southerners pay attention to specific symptoms and prescribe the right medicine.Xie Daoyun's medical skills are extremely superb. After watching a round, Xie Daoyun put up a sign and temporarily closed his business. Another doctor was sent to attend the consultation before he went in to clean up. He invited the two to the inner hall and changed into women's clothes to come out to see the guests.

Chen Xing only had time to explain his visit now, while Xiang Shu got up and looked at Zhu Jin's collection of books in the study. Whenever he went to a place, he would always look at the furnishings of the master's house. Xie Daoyun said: "It's all master's books. Take whatever you want to see."

Xiang Shu nodded, took down a transcript about astrology, and stood up to read it.

"Plague?" Xie Daoyun thought for a while and said, "This is the second person who asked about the plague this year. Can you tell me why you are so curious about it?"

Chen Xing asked in surprise, "Who else?"

"Of course it's Qing'er's lover." Xie Daoyun said with a little dissatisfaction.

"Why do I feel a little sour," Chen Xing said, "Is there still vinegar in the study?"

Xie Daoyun: "Forget it, please come back now."

Chen Xing said with a smile: "To be honest, it doesn't matter if I tell you anyway, I am an exorcist."

Xie Daoyun's expression changed immediately, "Exorcist?!"

Gu Qing's expression suddenly became a little unnatural, but Chen Xing hadn't noticed it yet, and described it to Xie Daoyun with a smile. After hearing it, Xie Daoyun's face became more and more ugly. It was all thanks to self-restraint to keep her from being on the spot. Chen Xing finally noticed the attack, and said, "Well...do you have any grudge against any of our colleagues?"

"Get out!" Xie Daoyun immediately said, "Get out of here! You gang of charlatans! You lied to ordinary people not to watch doctors drink amulet water when they were sick, and to persuade my fiancé and my brother-in-law to not do their business all day long, so you know how to meditate... ..."

"I, I, I..." Chen Xing hurriedly explained, "That's not the case, we are not with charlatans, look at it, look at this..."

"Senior Sister!" Gu Qing hurriedly persuaded, "They are not, they really are not!"

"...How many children of the Wang and Xie families do you want to poison?!" Xie Daoyun ignored Gu Qing's persuasion, pointed to the door, and said, "Get out! Get out now!"

"Look at this first! I can shine, look?!" Chen Xing quickly raised his heart lamp and showed it to Xie Daoyun, "Come on, take a look..."

Item statement: "..."

Gu Qing: "..."

Xie Daoyun: "..."

Chen Xing said: "It's really not what you think. We don't practice medicine. No, I practice medicine occasionally, but I definitely don't let people drink talisman water..."

Xiang Shu finally couldn't take it anymore, turned around, and took off the epee behind his back.

"Heart lamp." Xiang Shu said.

The light in Chen Xing's hand was shining brightly, so Xiang Shu shook the epee, and it was as immobile as a mountain, and suddenly it shone brightly, turning into a longbow.Xie Daoyun got up immediately and looked at Xiang Shu in disbelief.Xiang Shu shook again, and the longbow turned into a light cord, which Chen Xing had never seen before, so he was shocked.

"What is this?" Chen Xing asked.

"Why don't you two collude before you come?" Xie Daoyun asked with a puzzled face.

Xiang Shu held the rope and shook it in the air again, and the light rope spun around the whole body. Just when the three of them thought that Xiang Shu was going to perform a performance of binding themselves in place, the light rope suddenly turned into a knife wheel, and Chen Xing was dumbfounded. what is itWhen did Xiang Shu learn it?The usage seen on the bamboo slips?

The light wheel shakes again and turns into a long pestle, and finally Xiang Shuo pintuo that light pestle, the light pestle shrinks and shortens, transforming into a shining arrow.

Then Xiang Shu grabbed the arrow again, swept it in the air, and the light arrow turned into an epee again, and retracted the sword.

Xiang Shu gestured for you to continue, while he continued to read the book.

Gu Qing subconsciously clapped his hands a few times, and when Xie Daoyun was about to applaud, he suddenly felt something was wrong, and when he looked at Xiang Shu, his eyes were still wary.Chen Xing said: "Let's sit down and have a good talk. I am also very helpless with Mr. Xie Anxie who claims to be a senior brother. Why don't you find a time and let your fiancé talk to me? I promise to dispel his desire to seek immortality." ,Okay?"

Only now was Xie Daoyun dubious, and sat down again with an extremely depressed expression, and Chen Xing asked strangely: "Why do the children of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River like cultivating immortals so much?"

"How do I know?" Xie Daoyun said, "Isn't it caused by some alchemists?"

It turned out that the literati in the south of the Yangtze River at that time liked to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, seek immortals and visit Taoism since the Jin court was still in the north. My son, I only indulge in meditation at home every day to understand the secrets of heaven, or take a big cauldron to burn cinnabar to refine mercury to eat.Many so-called "celebrities" in the south of the Yangtze River even cooked mercury pills, and the table was full of mercury. How could Xie Daoyun not be angry?

"Let's talk about the plague first," Chen Xing said sincerely, "With time, you will naturally understand that I'm not playing tricks..."

Xie Daoyun narrated such a demonstration in his heart, but he was half-believed in his heart, but instinctively still resisted the strange power and chaos, so he only half-believed and said: "So? You want to find out how much connection this plague has with '魃' ? There is no such thing as resurrection of the dead in the world! If you want to convince me, you have to let me see it with my own eyes! Otherwise, I won’t believe it.”

"It's better not to see it," Chen Xing said, "I don't insist on this at all."

Gu Qing said in a low voice: "Qianjun was also very concerned about this matter not long ago, and we didn't think it through ourselves. Thinking about it this way, maybe it's true as you said."

Xie Daoyun said to Gu Qing: "Let me tell you, your slow temper, you are so anxious to death, send them back immediately after speaking."

Xie Daoyun then found the oral calendar mentioned by the patient, spread it out and showed it to Chen Xing, and explained: "This plague has been rampant in Jiangnan since years ago. Someone left during that time."

While reading the records, Chen Xing listened to Xie Daoyun's explanation. Feng Qianjun had described his illness before, and it was roughly the same. The sick person was drowsy and had difficulty getting out of bed, but his complexion was as usual, and there was no abnormality in his skin or tongue. , only the pulse condition is empty.

The condition is also good and sometimes bad. During the day and noon, the spirit is better, but at night, the mind is confused and lost.The disease gradually spread from Kuaiji to Danyang, Moling and other places. According to the information exchanged by the doctors' guild, there were nearly 50 people who were infected.

"The poison can be eliminated?" Chen Xing thought, maybe it has little to do with Ba?

"Totally ruled out," Xie Daoyun replied, "doctors can't see what's going on, so they have to give the patients tonic."

Xie Daoyun has seen several patients, and found that the patients all have a characteristic - blurred eyes, often distracted when speaking, as if lost.

Most of the prescriptions prescribed by doctors for patients are ginseng and deer antler and other great tonics. How can ordinary people afford it?I could afford it, and managed to recover a little bit. I could talk and get out of bed and walk around, but as soon as the medicine was stopped, I quickly returned to the original state.Therefore, people in various counties also jokingly call it "disease of wealth".

"They are all strong and dry positive medicinal materials." Chen Xing immediately grasped the key point, "Then moving the patient out to bask in the sun at noon, will it also improve?"

Xie Daoyun was startled, and then said: "Yes."

"Lack of yang energy hurts the soul. The three souls are yang and the seven souls are yin. This means that the yang soul has been hurt." Chen Xing said, and then raised the second and most core question.

"What was the name of the first patient, and where did he come from? Is there a record?" Chen Xing said.

Xie Daoyun replied: "This is a good question. The first recorded plague patient was a peddler...wait a minute, your friend...are you okay?"

Chen Xing turned his head to look behind him, and suddenly heard a chaotic noise. Xiang Shu pressed his forehead with one hand, suddenly lost his standing, and knocked down a row of letters on the shelf.

"Xiang Shu!" Chen Xing was so shocked that he hurriedly got up to help, Xiang Shu stabilized his figure, and waved his hands to indicate that it's okay.

"What's wrong with you?!" Chen Xing suddenly forgot about talking with Xie Daoyun.

"It's okay," Xiang Shu said, "I drank too much wine last night, and I'm still a little dizzy today."

Xie Daoyun got up, opened the gauze curtain in the study room, Xiang Shu shook his head vigorously, put the book back on the shelf, glanced at Chen Xing, but there was a little inexplicable meaning in his eyes, then, leaning against the bookshelf, he sat down slowly down.

"Xiang Shu!" Chen Xing suddenly realized that something was wrong. Ever since he met Xiang Shu, this guy had never shown weakness. After a while, it became like this?

Xie Daoyun looked at Xiang Shu suspiciously, thinking that the two of them were acting again, and said, "What's the matter, are you dizzy?"

Chen Xing quickly knelt down in front of Xiang Shu, sacrificed his heart lamp, touched his heart, and said, "Xiang Shu? How do you feel?"

"I'm a little tired all of a sudden," Xiang Shu said, "It's okay, I'll be fine in a while."

Xie Daoyun looked at it for a while, and Gu Qing said, "Is it a little stuffy?" Then he opened the windows and doors to let the air in. Xiang Shu took a deep breath and said, "I want to take a break."

Chen Xing himself is a doctor, first test his forehead, there is no abnormality, then press his pulse, everything is as usual.what to do?This accident came too suddenly!He turned his head at a loss and looked at Xie Daoyun. At this time, Xie Daoyun saw that he was not acting, so he said to Gu Qing: "Make a bowl of refreshing soup for him to drink." Then he said to Chen Xing: "Take him Take it to the backyard."
