Doctors in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 149 Dao Qing

Guo Jingzhong nodded, and the atmosphere seemed a little heavy for a moment.

"Fellow Daoist Guo, can't everyone take the Talisman?" Zhang Jiebin was the first to break the silence and said: "As we all know, medicines are divided into cold and cold, warm and hot, and diseases are divided into yin and yang, cold and hot. If you prescribe the right medicine, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Otherwise, it will cause endless harm."

Guo Jingzhong nodded and said: "I use the talisman to treat the disease according to the disease. For stomach heat, I use the talisman under cold water to make it refreshed; in severe winter, when it is cold, I use the talisman with hot soup to protect the stomach qi."

Zhang Jiebin nodded when he heard the words. After he finished speaking, he asked curiously: "I wonder if everyone is like this, or is it Guo Daoyou's personal experience?"

Guo Jingzhong fell silent.

Seeing this, Zhang Jiebin understood. He shook his head with regret and sighed: "Oh, no distinction between cold and heat, no distinction between yin and yang, all use cold. Mr. Danxi does not dare to be so generous."

"Ten Paths and Nine Doctors, how many are truly proficient in medical theory and medicinal properties?"

Zhang Jiebin's last question made Guo Jingzhong not sure how to answer the question. At this time, Guo Jingzhong was not the Huanyang Master who moved the Three Jin Dynasties forty years later.

Speaking of Guo Jingzhong, not many people may know it now, but he taught a good disciple. Master Fu Qing of Fu Shan learned Taoism and medicine from him. Fu Qing, the master of women's medicine, was talked about in later generations.

The origin lies in Guo Jingzhong.

"Pin Dao has long said that those with Taoist medical skills who are better than me are like the crucian carp crossing the river. Even with Ping Tao's weak medical skills, he can still achieve many results, let alone many of my Taoist friends who are far better than me."

Zhang Jiebin stopped saying anything, and soon the three of them arrived at Ge Honglu.

At this time, Bai Yuzhan was carrying a meal and singing a Taoist song: "I don't believe in gods, and I don't know that there is Daluotian. It's so embarrassing to see people talking about Penglai, but hiding their faces, they laugh at the wind and wind..."

Seeing Zhang Jiebin and the others, Bai Yuzhan smiled and said, "What a coincidence, Master Lu said it was time for you to come, so he prepared the fast meal and you guys caught up."

"I'm starving to death. I didn't even eat in the morning." Chen Jisheng was so happy that he took three steps at a time and ran forward. But when he saw it, he complained again: "Why are you a vegetarian again? Doesn't that mean you can eat three pure meats?"

Really? I haven’t eaten meat for half a month.”

Bai Yuzhan smiled and said nothing, and entered the hut with the vegetarian meal. At this time, Qianxuzi, who was sleeping soundly, got up when he heard the noise and sang:

"If you are carefree and careless about the sky, you will sleep leisurely even if the sun is high.

The wine in Xiyu Village is of extraordinary taste, and the wild asparagus and mountain delicacies are free of charge.

There is a small tunnel behind the gate, and dry firewood and white rice are boiled in the clear spring.

Sometimes, leaning on a stick by the green pine trees, I feel like a happy fairy in the world."

"The two Taoist priests are so elegant. It's true that 'Taoists have their home in heaven and earth, and they are accustomed to see mountains and rivers without eyesight. The world of poetry is in the moonlight of bamboos, and the wine life is in the shadows of pine winds.'" Zhang Jiebin praised, and said something about Chen Jisheng in passing.

: "Xiao Sheng, you need to learn more. Where can I get so much Sanjing meat for you to eat in a secluded place in the mountains?"

Chen Jisheng said unhappily: "Then when will we return to Qizhou? The temple fair will be over soon!"

"Qizhou!" Zhang Jiebin said, looking at Bai Yuzhan, and asked: "Is Fellow Taoist Bai going back to Qizhou soon?"

"I'll go back in a while. Master Lu heard that Zen Master Yuan Jing is coming to the north and wants to visit him. If the two Taoists are not in a hurry, they can go together," Bai Yuzhan said.

"Oh? When did Master Lu become interested in Buddhist monks?" Zhang Jiebin looked at Qian Xuzi and asked.

"Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism should all be equal and shoulder to shoulder, and the three religions should be united into one, which is the right path." Qian Xuzi said with a smile.

Zhang Jiebin recalled ten years ago when he told about the journey to the west that stimulated Qian Xuzi, and he asked curiously: "But back then, Master Lu wanted to fight the journey to the west with the title of god. Why has the change been so drastic? I wonder if the story of the title of god has been completed?"

"That day was that day, and now is today. The story of the Conferred God has not yet been completed, and it was also left in Jiangnan seven years ago. As for whether it can come out, it all depends on fate!"

After Zhang Jiebin listened, he looked at Qianxuzi and couldn't understand. A generation of great Taoist masters, instead of doing their proper work of preaching, became interested in Buddhism. Isn't this not to abandon the fundamentals and pursue the inferiors?

After everyone finished eating, Qianxunzi continued to give them a big lesson.

Zhang Jiebin took the lead and asked: "My disciple has a question. In ancient times, witch doctors, Taoist witches, and Taoist doctors are all indistinguishable. Can you explain one or two about witchcraft, Taoism, and medicine?"

Qian Xuzi nodded and said: "The history of witchcraft can no longer be tested, let alone Taoism and medicine. Taoism and medicine can be said to be the witchcraft inherited from ancient times."

"There should be no ancient witches now, right?"

"No, but the inheritance is still there. The wizards and witches of the south are the wizards and witches of the south, and the Onmyoji can also be considered a branch of it."

"Yin Yang School? Qin Tian Jian?" Zhang Jiebin immediately thought of Qin Tian Jian, a neighbor of Taiyuan Hospital.

"Yes, Qin Tian oversees all the onmyojis in the world. These onmyojis are of the same lineage as shamans."

Zhang Jiebin frowned and thought for a moment, then continued to ask: "As far as I know, Qin Tianjian is divided into astronomy students and yin and yang students. Astronomy students observe celestial phenomena, and yin and yang students observe Feng Shui. Medicine is to treat illnesses and save people, so what is the role of that door?"

Qian Xuzi said: "Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao. Tao is natural and all-encompassing. It can govern the country, cultivate the body, and even more, it can cultivate the mind."

"What is the relationship between Taoism and medicine?" Zhang Jiebin asked again.

Qian Xuzi said: "Since ancient times, medicine and Taoism have been integrated. Medicine is Tao, Tao is medicine, Tao is the theory of Huang Lao, and medicine is the art of Qi and Huang. They have the same root and origin. High Taoists are good at medicine, and great doctors also practice Tao."

"Look at Ge Xianweng and Bao Xiangu here, don't they share the same respect for medicine? Hua Tuo and Sun Simiao, their medical names even cover up their Taoist names."

Zhang Jiebin thought for a moment and agreed: "It is true. In my opinion, there are no more than two types of ancient doctors, Taoist doctors and worldly doctors. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, there have been more Confucian doctors. Hey, since the Chinese dynasty, most of the great doctors were born in the world.

Doctors come from a family of Confucian doctors, while Taoist doctors are rare."

Qian Xuzi smiled and said, "Don't you know how many doctors have been taught medical skills by gods and strangers?"

"I told people the same thing before." Zhang Jiebin also laughed.

"Whether it is Taoism, Confucianism or Buddhism, or Taoism, medicine or Confucianism, it is the general trend to integrate them into one." Qianxuzi continued.

"I've learned a lesson," Zhang Jiebin said.

The next day, early in the morning, Zhang Jiebin urged Chen Jisheng to practice martial arts outside the house.

In the distance, Bai Yuzhan came carrying water and sang loudly: "White clouds and yellow cranes are in the way of people, a piano, a sword and a cup of tea. The feathers are often smoky, so they don't disturb the peach and plum blossoms in the world."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jiebin clapped his hands and said with a smile: "What a good one. Baiyunhuanghedao family. Change six characters, and the artistic conception is completely different."

Bai Yuzhan replied: "Times have changed. In the past, fairies were immortals, but now fairies are fairies. To use 'the house is filled with fragrance and the fairy's house' is a bit out of place."

"I think it doesn't matter whether it is changed or not. The fairy family has a sense of being otherworldly and fairy-like, while the Taoist family is more simple and appropriate. Whether it is a fairy family or a Taoist family, both are fascinating!" Zhang Jiebin

Couldn't help but sigh.
