Li Chunfeng sat down next to him and said: "Since Mr. Shengxuan emerged, Sun Zhenzhen has become the leader of the Taoist sect. As a junior, I should pay him a visit."
"It's just that I'm busy with worldly affairs and I heard that Master Sun closed his door to thank guests, so I haven't been able to come to ask for advice. It's a pity."
Mr. Shengxuan is Wang Yuanzhi’s title.
Chen Jingke said apologetically: "Master has made a major breakthrough in medical science and is re-editing the Alchemy Classic. It is indeed inconvenient to entertain guests. I apologize for it, Master Li."
With Li Chunfeng's cultivation, he couldn't help but feel frightened when he heard this. It was not a breakthrough in medical skills, but in medical theory, which even went to the extent of rewriting the Alchemy Classic.
If all this is true, then the Alchemy Sect is in trouble.
After Wang Yuanzhi's death, the Taoist sect had no leader who could convince the public. It can be said that Sun Simiao's appearance came at the right time.
He has high seniority, great reputation, wide connections, and strong abilities. He cured the eldest grandson Wugao's disease in one move and gained the respect of the royal family. He has a huge influence on the emperor.
It can be said that he has all the elements that a leader should have.
There are two types of leaders, one is conservative, who can stabilize the current status of Taoism. The other is radical, who can innovate Taoism and lead everyone to reach higher heights.
Radicals are often more likely to become leaders, such as Kou Qianzhi, Lu Xiujing, Wei Huacun, Yang Xi, including the former Wang Yuanzhi, etc., because they can make a big cake.
Although Sun Simiao has not made any big moves for the time being, the "Taomen Illustrated Manual" almost showed his attitude and innovation to the world.
Not only is it necessary to innovate, but it is also necessary to reshape the entire Taoist theological system.
This book alone attracted the attention of all Taoist sects, and everyone was waiting for his next move.
Li Chunfeng was relatively exposed to information. For example, he saw Journey to the West through Master Cheng Xuanying of Xihua. He originally thought that Sun Simiao's first move was to target Buddhism.
Buddhism and Taoism have been competing for hundreds of years. It is indeed a good way to accumulate reputation by attacking Buddhism and pave the way for the next reform.
Even though he and Cheng Xuanying had a close relationship, they had very different views on Buddhism.
Although he was not as anti-Buddhist as the Lou Guan School, he still supported the attack on Buddhism. Cheng Xuanying believed that the advantages of Buddhism should be recognized and absorbed.
Therefore, Cheng Xuanying was very disgusted with Journey to the West, but he had to support it due to his status. Li Chunfeng himself made it clear that he supported it.
This was also the reason why he came to see Chen Jingke, taking the opportunity to express his attitude and see if he could participate.
He is not alone, standing behind him is the Nantuo Mountain Jingyun Temple lineage. However, this lineage is not prominent in Taoism, but it is precisely because of this that he wants to participate in this innovation.
So as soon as they met, he used the mantra invented by Zixiaoguan to express his attitude and lay the foundation for the subsequent conversation.
However, things once again exceeded his expectations. Chen Jingke directly revealed a piece of news that was shocking to Taoism.
Sun Simiao wanted to take action against the Alchemy Sect, and the core of his attack was the Alchemy Scripture.
The Alchemy Sect is one of the main branches of Taoism. It can even be said that the immortal elixir itself is an important means for Taoism to attract emperors and dignitaries.
Sun Simiao's involvement with his opponent was too wide, and one bad move would even cause a major blow to the Taoist sect.
If it was not Sun Simiao who revised the Alchemy Sutra, he would have jumped up and objected. But precisely because it was Sun Simiao, he was even more worried. Gu He
Because when most people modify the Alchemy Classic, everyone will just sneer at it. Who do you think you are and dare to point fingers at my Taoist classics?
But Sun Simiao is the kind of person who can turn around and make fun of others: In terms of medical skills, all of you here are idiots. I have revised the Alchemy Classic. Who objects?
However, Li Chunfeng was Li Chunfeng after all, and he quickly calmed down: he had to first understand how much breakthrough Sun Simiao had made in medical science and how much he had revised the Alchemy Classic, and then make a decision.
Thinking of this, he pretended to be calm and said: "Oh, Master Sun is a master of medicine. His ability to make breakthroughs in medical science is really a blessing to all people."
"Medical skills cover many categories. I would like to ask, which category did Master Sun achieve a breakthrough?"
Chen Jingke smiled and said: "If medical skills are regarded as a palace, then Master's breakthrough this time is to replace the foundation of the palace."
"Hiss~" Li Chunfeng took a breath. This is to overthrow the entire medical code and reshape medicine. It is no longer a matter for the Taoist family, but has risen to the national level.
If it was true, the turmoil caused this time would be beyond his imagination.
Faced with this shocking news, even if the other party was Sun Simiao, he still had doubts: "Chen Zhenren is joking with me?"
Chen Jingke didn't know what he was thinking, but he knew that anyone would question it if they heard that the foundation of medicine was to be changed.
But he didn't panic, because he really didn't lie: "I wonder if Li Zhenren has ever read "On Epidemics and Insects" written by my master?"
"I have benefited a lot from reading it. Sun Zhenren is indeed the king of medicine." Li Chunfeng immediately thought of the contents of this book, especially the theory of bacteria and viruses.
Is the new medical theory related to these things?
Chen Jingke's next sentence confirmed his guess: "The invisible bacteria and viruses mentioned in the theory of pests and diseases are the basis and superficial foundation of the new medical theory."
"When the new Alchemy Sutra comes out, the entire history of medicine will be divided into two stages." He stretched out his hand and made a cutting gesture in the air, saying: "Before the New Alchemy Sutra and after the New Alchemy Sutra."
Li Chunfeng's eyelids jumped. When he saw "Treatise on Epidemics and Insects", he asked someone to verify it in private, and the results were consistent. At that time, he was deeply impressed by Sun Simiao's medical skills.
At the same time, he also vaguely felt that this theory should not be so simple. Unfortunately, he only knew some superficial knowledge of medical skills and could not grasp the core.
Now Chen Jingke's words confirmed his original guess. It was indeed not simple.
"Has Master Sun ever considered what impact it will have on our Taoism once the New Alchemy Sutra comes out?"
"Of course I have considered it."
"Then why...are you still so anxious?"
Chen Jingke asked: "Then what does Master Li think we should do? Taoism takes the lead in blocking new medical techniques and continues to use wrong medical principles to poison the world?"
"Today my master can discover a new medical theory, and tomorrow others can also discover it. If we discover it ourselves, we can minimize the loss by taking the initiative to modify it. If others discover it and make it public, it will be a devastating blow to Taoism."
At this point, he said earnestly: "History is like a huge wheel rolling forward, and anything that stands in front of it will be crushed."
"If Taoism wants to be prosperous and prosperous, it should be the one pushing the wheel, not the roadblock."
After hearing this, Li Chunfeng fell into silence for a long time.
