Doctors in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 150 Daozang

Bai Yuzhan smiled and carried the water into the hut. Zhang Jiebin turned around and saw Chen Jisheng being lazy, and immediately kicked him away and cursed: "You know how to be lazy all day long, and sooner or later you will suffer losses on your hands and feet."

"Brother Zhang, the commander-in-chief said that I will definitely become a general in the future. Besides, in what era is this, how can there be any generals fighting in front of each other?"

"Brother Zhang, I think you just listen to storytelling too much. All day long, you fantasize about being General Guan Yun. I will be a military advisor in the future, and I can just watch others fight."

"You kid, are you asking for a beating?" Zhang Jiebin pretended to be beaten.

But Chen Jisheng ran away immediately and shouted: "I'm not coming anymore, I'm going to help Brother Bai light the fire. Brother Zhang, just practice on your own!"

Seeing Chen Jisheng running away in a hurry, Zhang Jiebin shook his head helplessly, picked up the sword and started practicing.

Thirty-six palace footwork, twenty-eight body movements, nine palaces and thirty-six postures... Footwork, body skills, and sword skills are practiced repeatedly.

"Okay, Daoist Zhang has just started to learn swordsmanship in just half a month. It's time to practice in actual combat and let Pindao help you." Guo Jingzhong came out at some point and commented.

"Please enlighten me!"

Zhang Jiebin held a sword flower and used the essence of the Yue Nu sword - the sword technique of stabbing the ape.

"Okay!" Guo Jingzhong shouted loudly, and made a move to use force to overcome skill and use force to gain strength.

"Flying Immortal Sword Technique? I can do it too..."

The two of them were going back and forth with swords, and the ping-pong-pong fight stopped. Guo Jingzhong changed from holding a sword in his hand to holding a stick, then a gun...

"Take another move from me!" Zhang Jiebin shouted, and then used the move of "Left to the left and the left to stand on tiptoe for a tighter grip", causing the gun in Guo Jingzhong's hand to shake.

In this way, Guo Jingzhong used a variety of weapons to practice, and gradually Zhang Jiebin mastered the essence of sword breaking, sword breaking stick, sword breaking gun and other weapons.

The two of them practiced until breakfast time.

Zhang Jiebin sheathed his sword, calmed his breath and then said: "This "Hunyuan Sword Classic" is really wonderful. It is indeed a masterpiece that combines the ancient and modern swordsmanship. It is a pity that it has not been circulated in the world for a long time, and I never thought that the Taoist sect would be well preserved!"

But Guo Jingzhong said: "During the Japanese rebellion in the southeast, our Taoist ancestors dedicated the Hunyuan Sword Classic to Marshal Yu."

Zhang Jiebin was shocked when he heard this and said in disbelief: "Could it be that Marshal Yu's "The Book of Swords" was born out of this?"

Guo Jingzhong nodded and said, "Have you heard what Marshal Yu said about the outline of the way of swordsmanship?"

"Of course, how can those of us who practice martial arts not know the truth?" Zhang Jiebin said with a smile, and then said loudly: "Just before his strength, softly take advantage of his strength; when he is busy, I will wait quietly, and I will let you fight with me."

Guo Jingzhong said: "The first half of the sentence comes from the "Hunyuan Sword Classic". The original saying is, 'According to the situation far and near, the strong is in front of his strength, and the soft is behind his strength'."

"So that's it. I heard that Daozang preserved "Mozi" so that people can appreciate the immortal works of the sages. Now they have also preserved the "Hunyuan Sword Classic", which inherits the swordsmanship of Yue Nu and inspires the modern swordsmanship. It is really a great merit.

ah!"

Hearing this, Guo Jingzhong said: "The Hunyuan Sword Classic is our Taoist sect's sword cultivation classic. It combines the meanings of hundreds of schools of thought into one. It can be said that every word is precious. Daoyou Zhang should copy a copy by hand and read it every day to gain insights, so that he can live up to the writings of the sages."

The intention is to establish what is said."

"I can't ask for it!" Zhang Jiebin replied.

In the following days, whenever Zhang Jiebin had free time, he would either practice sword practice or go to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to read through the Taoist classics.

When I entered the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion for the first time, I first looked at the various arts and found that except for alchemy and transformation techniques, they were basically medical books. Then I looked at the magical talismans, jade tactics, methods, and medical books accounted for a lot.

In addition to medicine, astronomy, art of war, Kanyu, water conservancy, architecture, martial arts and other Taoist teachings are all involved.

Zhang Jiebin almost thought that he had come to the wrong place. This was not a Taoist book collection, but a Baijia library.

In particular, medical classics account for the highest proportion outside of Taoist scriptures, whether they are famous works such as "Huangdi Neijing", "Difficult Classics", "Emergency Prescriptions", "Qianjin Prescriptions", "Yuhan Prescriptions", or "Moxibustion"

Specialized medical books such as "Acupuncture Jue", "Compendium of Materia Medica", "First Aid Immortal Prescriptions", "Secret Prescriptions of Immortal Surgery", etc. are everywhere here.

Zhang Jiebin focused on reading these medical monographs, and then turned to other Taoist scriptures after reading them.

But when he looked through the Taoist scriptures, he discovered that a lot of them were about medicine.

From the "Taiping Jing", we can see the theories of yin and yang, viscera, essence and qi, as well as the health-preserving methods of medicine, acupuncture and qigong.

From "Book of Changes Shen Tong Qi", we can see the medical theory of the rise and fall of qi, and the medical thought of valuing the kidneys and valuing yin.

From the "Huang Ting Jing", we can see the Zangxiang theory, the theory of meridians, and the fact that the brain governs the spirit and the kidney governs the five internal organs.

"Huainanzi", "Yunji Qizhuan", "Wuzhen Chapter"... all contain a lot of medical knowledge.

When Zhang Jiebin was shocked by this, he did not know that the great writers of later generations, Mr. Lu, who used the pen as a weapon, also lamented: China is all rooted in Taoism.

There was no sun or moon in the mountains, and soon another half-moon passed. On this day, Bai Yuzhan came to look for him: "Zhang Daoyou, don't look at it. You haven't come to listen to the sermon these days. If you don't have the Taoist Brother Guange to bring you food, I will

I see you have long been reduced to a pile of withered bones."

"How could it be possible? I have arms and legs, but I can still starve to death? What do you want from me?"

"Get ready, we'll leave tomorrow."

When Zhang Jiebin heard this, he was both looking forward to it and reluctant to give it up. He sighed: "Oh, it was a waste of natural resources to guard the treasure house for half a month without entering it!"

"Okay, how many books are there here? I heard Master Lu say, the ones in Longhu Mountain and Baiyun Temple are the orthodox Taoist canons. They are numerous and complete. There are three caves and thirty-six categories. How many books do we have?"

, Category Twelve.”

As soon as Zhang Jiebin heard the great music, he couldn't stop for a long time. Bai Yuzhan was so confused that he laughed: "Zhang Daoyou, why are you laughing?"

"I laugh at someone who doesn't study and still writes the orthodox Taoist canon. It was the Taoist canon compiled during the Zhengtong years, also known as the "Orthodox Taoist Canon"." Zhang Jiebin said with a smile.

Bai Yuzhan was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and quickly recited: "Blessings are immeasurable, but my disciples are ignorant."

Zhang Jiebin became more interested and laughed loudly and said: "Let's go, I want to return to Beijing quickly and go to Baiyun to see how orthodox Taoism is."

Bai Yuzhan smiled bitterly and said, "Young Taoist Zhang, please stop teasing me."

"Haha, do you want to go to the capital with me? Isn't Baiyunduan the ancestral home of your Quanzhen sect? As a disciple of the Quanzhen sect, why don't you go and worship?" Zhang Jiebin had a sudden idea and invited.

Bai Yuzhan smiled and shook his head: "If you are sincere in your heart, why do you have to go there in person? I, a Taoist disciple, am determined to preach to the world and do not stick to formalities."

"It makes sense, Tao gives rise to all things, and all things are naturally Tao."

The two chatted and laughed all the way down the mountain and across the bridge, and then over the mountains and ridges until they arrived at Gehonglu.

At this time, there were not only Qianxuzi and the other three in Gehonglu, but also many of the eighteen heads of the three capitals and five masters of Qingxu Mountain came.
