Chapter 822: Disease and Qi Dialectics
"Jiayue, why are you here too?"
Kang Wen looked at the fox fairies in front of him who were talking and laughing with some surprise. Among them was a beautiful female fairy who behaved in a very spirited manner.
Jiayue's eyes curved as she said, "Senior sister, the teacher has told the Fox God Cao Ye that he will be giving medical classes, so of course I have to come."
Kang Wen smiled and shook his head, saying, "You've already been admitted to the Tianhu Academy, and you've already been stationed at the Xilong Mountain Niangniang Temple. Why are you still here to learn medical skills?"
Jiayue said, "I still have to learn. There are many believers in the Niangniang Temple praying for health. If I learn medical skills, I can solve difficult and complicated diseases myself."
Jiayue entered school later than Kangwen. Because she was stationed at the Niangniang Temple, she missed many of the arts and classics training, so she did not pass the entrance exam to Tianhu Academy three years later. However, she was smart and hardworking. She borrowed her classmates' notes to study on her own, and insisted on writing letters to the teachers of the arts and classics to ask for advice. After another three years, she successfully passed the entrance exam to Tianhu Academy and is now a student of Tianhu Academy.
However, since then, Gong Mengbi has been occupied by various things, and Jiayue has not had many opportunities to practice with Gong Mengbi.
In fact, she is not a wild fox god. The Xilong Mountain Taishan Goddess Temple in Yongkang County is very popular. In recent years, because of Gong Mengbi's promotion of Buddhism, the beliefs in Taishan Goddess and fox fairies are very popular in Wuning area.
So last time when Gong Mengbi summoned foxes to the Fox Dojo on Wuhuan Peak, she was not invited. This time, when she heard that Gong Mengbi had summoned the Caoye Fox God to teach medicine, she shamelessly followed a classmate and came.
The Five Ghosts' Tongchuan Kusano Fox God also uses the fox talisman issued in the name of Gong Mengbi. With the help of the fox talisman, he can travel away at midnight and land in a mysterious Taoist temple.
Jiayue came here with the fox talisman and saw Kang Wen and Zhu Huzi.
The air is filled with fragrance, smoke is like clouds, and the bright moon is as big as a wheel. In this Taoist temple, there are white jade flowers and trees, and a flying dragon is hidden in the clouds.
Countless foxes and fox gods stood in the dojo, using clouds as beds, silently waiting for Gong Mengbi to show up.
Kang Wen knew that she was not here to study, but to see Gong Mengbi. But she did not point it out, because any other fox would find a way to come if they knew about this.
Suddenly, a tiger roared in the sea of clouds, and a stone door condensed from smoke emerged from the shadows. The stone door slowly opened, revealing the infinite depth within, which almost made people's souls fall into it.
Gong Mengbi came out of the stone gate, followed by an elderly man and three young men with marks on their necks.
Gong Mengbi introduced: "This person was once a famous doctor of the time. You must study hard and don't waste the opportunity."
The foxes responded.
The old man was really frightened when he saw the countless foxes in front of him, but when he looked at Gong Mengbi, he saw that this fox fairy was handsome and had an extraordinary bearing, not like an ordinary person. He also felt relieved when he saw that Gong Mengbi was very humble.
Although he had learned about today's mission before coming, he still felt uneasy when he saw the group of foxes.
The old man cleared his throat and said, "I was originally a disciple of a doctor in the wild. Later, I was recruited to the Imperial Hospital. However, I had no support in the Imperial Hospital, so I was assigned to serve the seriously ill late emperor. The late emperor was bedridden and could not be cured. I was convicted for this, and my three disciples were sentenced to death."
"After I die, my family clinic will also be affected, and there will be no one to take over. You have learned my medical skills, and if you meet a good candidate in the future, you must pass on my medical skills."
The foxes naturally agreed.
The old man started by talking about medical classics and medical theories, imparting the essentials of medicine.
Such profound things are not simpler than the cultivation subjects. After listening to them, the group of foxes were confused and dizzy. They had a hard time listening and learned very awkwardly.
Gong Mengbi was listening from a distance and understood everything very well. He learned it clearly and vividly.
Compared with medical skills, cultivation is naturally more difficult. When Gong Mengbi reaches this level, the theoretical essence of medical classics can be verified one by one under his observation. He can understand whether it is wind, dampness, cold or heat, just like observing the lines on the palm.
But most foxes and fox gods have not yet reached this realm, nor can they immediately transform their practice experience into medical verification, so it is not so easy to learn.
Gong Mengbi knew that this was not something that could be resolved in a short time, but with the convenience of the Yue Mansion, it would be easy to run the medical department for a long time.
When the old gentleman finished speaking, Gong Mengbi suggested, "Sir, you explained the medical theory very clearly, but now they are living in the countryside and have many common diseases. You might as well teach them how to deal with them so as not to delay the treatment."
Gong Mengbi said it very tactfully, but the old man still understood it. He felt a little depressed and asked, "What do you want to learn?"
Immediately, a fox god asked, "How do you cure a cough?"
"Coughs need to be diagnosed. Most of them are lung diseases. We need to know whether it is caused by the six external pathogens or internal pathogens affecting the lungs."
"What are the six external evils like? What is the internal evil affecting the lungs like?"
"The symptoms of the six external evils are different from the symptoms of internal evils affecting the lungs." The old man described the symptoms, and Fox immediately pricked up his ears to listen.
After hearing this, he exclaimed: "So that's how it is, sir, you are amazing."
This is clearly the simplest thing, but it is the most popular. The old man said helplessly: "If you can't distinguish symptoms, you will know the symptoms but not the reasons. You can only be a traveling doctor. Once the symptoms change slightly, you will be helpless."
A fox who looked like an old farmer sighed and said, "First treat those who can be cured. Those who cannot be cured are also fate."
“How can it be fate? If the disease cannot be cured, it means the medical skills are not good enough. We cannot accept our fate.” The old man disagreed.
"But learning medical knowledge is too slow and difficult. How can the villagers wait for that day? Is there a quick way to learn it?"
The old man shook his head like a rattle and said, "There is no shortcut to learning medicine. If you don't think carefully, you may end up killing someone."
Fox turned his gaze to Gong Mengbi again.
Gong Mengbi thought for a moment, came up with an idea, and said, "I'm afraid there is indeed a quick way to achieve success."
The old gentleman also looked over, his furrowed brows seeming to be rebuking him for misleading the students.
Gong Mengbi said, "Don't worry, sir. As the saying goes, long-term illness makes a doctor. To learn how to treat illness and how to diagnose symptoms, it is best to get sick yourself first."
He stretched out his hand and a wisp of sick air came out from his hand and scattered like stars in the sky. In just a moment, everyone in the Taoist temple began to have itchy throats, and soon coughing sounds began to occur one after another.
The old man looked at Gong Mengbi in shock and said, "Aren't you a fox fairy? Why do you look like a sick demon?"
This is naturally not Gong Mengbi's method, but a skill that Ma Qingji learned from Prince Linchuan. It is a method of cultivating sick energy and raising sick ghosts and sick gods.
It is actually a bit childish for Gong Mengbi, but it is perfect for the current situation.
Gong Mengbi smiled slightly and said, "Sir, you can teach them how to differentiate symptoms now."
