Chapter 4386 Chapter 4388 [The Art of Immortality]

Cui Wenzi lived in the Zhongnanshan Villa for half a year, mainly to exchange medical skills with Xiang Nan.

Only then did Xiang Nan learn that Cui Wenzi was actually a descendant of Qin He. Qin He was a famous doctor in the Spring and Autumn Period. He was once as famous as Bian Que and Yi Xu.

Qin He once treated the Marquis of Jin who was addicted to beauty, but after the diagnosis and treatment, he found that it was useless. When the Marquis of Jin asked him the reason, he said, "Excessive sexual **** produces six diseases, and if they are exceeded, it will be a disaster. Yin sexual **** causes cold disease, and Yang sexual **** causes heat disease." "The wind is not a disease, the rain is a disease, the rain is a disease, the obscurity is a disease, the **** is a disease, the heart is a disease." Sure enough, Jin Hou died soon.

Yixian also treated Jin Jinggong, but he was also unable to cure him. Jin Jinggong asked the reason, and he said, "The disease is above the old age and under the ointment. It cannot be attacked, it cannot be reached, and it cannot be cured, so it cannot be done."

That's why there is the idiom "to be terminally ill" to describe a person's condition that is beyond treatment, or that things have deteriorated to the point of no return.

Cui Wenzi studied under Qin He and learned good medical skills from him. From then on, he traveled around the world, treating diseases, saving people, and helping those in need. And his biggest dream is to master the elixir of life.

Because in ancient times, witch doctors were not separated into different families. Even in the Qin and Han Dynasties, witch doctors were still mixed.

For example, the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", which was written in the Eastern Han Dynasty, also records a large number of absurd sentences, including "health preservation", "prolonging life", "lightening one's body" and "becoming an immortal".

Therefore, Cui Wenzi is not only a miracle doctor, but also a wizard, or he can also be called an "alchemist". His dream is to make the elixir of life so that there will be no more pain in the world.

Xiang Nan exchanged medical skills with Cui Wenzi and learned from Cui Wenzi how to refine the elixir of life.

Alchemists believe that all things in the world have spirituality, and humans are also the spirits of all things. They just wallow in the mortal world and are soaked in vulgarity, so their spirituality slowly fades away. Just like an oil lamp, it will go out as soon as the oil is used up.

Therefore, they collect treasures containing spirituality, such as bezoars, dog treasures, night pearls, spirit animal blood, etc., extract the spirituality from them, and remove the dross from their essence.

After people take it, they can naturally prolong their life. Just like adding oil to an oil lamp, as long as you add more oil than it burns, you will naturally live forever.

This is just the theory, but he has tried it many times, but it has no effect. At most, it can make people healthier and live longer, but death is inevitable in the end.

After Xiang Nan heard about his "adding oil" theory, he admired his fantastic ideas.

To be honest, it's not surprising that he thinks so.

Because European wizards thought the same way, and they did use people to refine magic stones that could extend life.

Moreover, modern medical research also shows that in order to maintain good health, people must absorb sugar, fat, protein, vitamins, amino acids and trace elements from the outside world.

Balanced nutrition can indeed help people live longer. Moreover, poor living environment will indeed shorten people's life span. Such as sewage, exhaust gas, smog, etc.

Cui Wenzi learned even more from Xiang Nan.

His research on pathology alone far exceeded Cui Wenzi's knowledge. For example, although Cui Wenzi knew that the typhoid plague was spread through human excrement, he did not know the principle. With the help of Xiang Nan, he saw the extremely small typhoid bacilli, and then suddenly realized.

"So that's it, these are the so-called 'external evils'." After Cui Wenzi saw the germs with the help of a microscope, he couldn't help but admired, "The ancients never deceived me."

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that human illness is divided into two factors: "internal evil" and "external evil".

Internal evil refers to a person's own problems, such as anger hurting the liver, happiness hurting the heart, sadness hurting the lungs, fear hurting the kidneys, eating too much fat, easily producing phlegm and dampness, eating too much or too little, easily hurting the spleen and stomach, looking at the blood for a long time, and looking too long for a long time. Lying down hurts Qi, sitting for a long time hurts the flesh, standing for a long time hurts the bones, walking for a long time hurts the tendons...

Exogenous evils refer to external unfavorable factors, such as wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness, fire, and epidemic and violent qi.

For example, if you live in a cold and humid environment, you are prone to rheumatism; if you live in a cold environment for a long time, you are prone to colds; if you are often exposed to a hot environment, your mouth will be dry and your eyes will feel astringent; if you are in a plague environment, you will also be susceptible to colds. infect…

When internal and external evils combine, people will fall ill. Therefore, Chinese medicine emphasizes "consolidating the foundation and cultivating the vitality" and "strengthening the body and dispelling evils." It is believed that if the human body has sufficient vitality and righteousness, it can defeat internal and external evil spirits, maintain good health, and achieve longevity.

Cui Wenzi believed in these theories, but had never seen one with his own eyes.

Now that he saw these germs, he realized that there were indeed "external evils" in the world. It was these external evils that invaded people's bodies and caused people to suffer from the plague.

Moreover, these external evils can be found everywhere, in water, soil, food, and even in the air. People live in this filthy and evil world, no wonder their life span is so short.

"Fellow Taoist, your medical skills are really amazing." Cui Wenzi admired him very much, "I have learned so much from you, I think I have saved more people."

He learned many medical skills that he had never known before from Xiang Nan, which really benefited him a lot, but he had to choose to leave the Zhongnan Mountain Villa.

"Fellow Taoist, wouldn't it be fun for you and me to exchange medical skills on the mountain?" Seeing this, Xiang Nan asked doubtfully, "Why go down the mountain in a hurry?"

He still has a lot of medical knowledge and wants to communicate with Cui Wenzi.

"My life has a limit, but my knowledge has no limit. It's almost impossible to say that the limit is followed by the limitless." Cui Wenzi waved his hands and said with a smile, "The ways of medical skills are endless, and it is not easy to learn them all.

Not to mention studying for a lifetime, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it in ten lifetimes. But the people in the world can't wait for me for ten lifetimes, so I have to leave. Knowledge should be learned, but the most important thing is to be able to apply what you have learned and integrate knowledge with action. "

"I see." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled, "Well, in that case, I won't keep you."

As Cui Wenzi said, the ways of medical skills are indeed endless. Internal medicine, surgery, Chinese medicine, Western medicine, witch doctors, poison doctors... all of them are all-encompassing and not easy to learn, and you may not be able to finish them in a lifetime.

Doctor Xue, the King of Hell's enemy in "Dragon", is already very skilled in medicine, but compared with his master Su Xinghe, he has only scratched the surface.

And when Su Xinghe compared with Wuyazi, he only learned a little bit. Compared with the medical books stored in Lingjiu Palace, Wu Yazi also fell far behind.

Xiang Nan's knowledge has far surpassed that of the founder of the Xiaoyao sect, so Cui Wenzi might not be able to complete the medical skills just by studying with him in a lifetime.

He also realized this, so he stopped studying and decided to go down the mountain and apply what he had learned. After all, no matter how high your medical skills are, just studying in the mountains is useless to the people down the mountain.

Xiang Nan understood his psychology, so he didn't try to stay. Fortunately, he has learned Cui Wenzi's method of refining the elixir of life, which is also the most valuable knowledge.
