Chapter 31 'Shen Nong's Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases'
The Valley of the Flying Snake.
More than ten days have passed since the incident, and the Flying Snake Valley has long since returned to its former peace.
It's just that Zhang Shennong was getting old after all, and after all this trouble, he fell ill. Zhang Zhiyue and Su Lingyi took care of them and took care of them, and finally his condition improved a lot. However, Zhang Shennong had already become disheartened after this incident.
He voluntarily gave up his position as the chief of Shennong Hall and planned to live in seclusion in Fei Snake Valley for the rest of his life and never be born again.
Su Ling and Zhang Zhiyue knew that Zhang Shennong was unhappy, so Su Ling made up his jokes from that life into the language of this life and told them to Zhang Shennong from time to time, so as to make him laugh. Zhang Zhiyue also always played the flute and danced, which made her grandpa feel happy.
Be happy.
Du Heng hunted some game in the mountains every day, and the four of them sat around eating and drinking together, which was quite peaceful and comfortable.
This day was the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th. The four of them sat around the courtyard, eating and drinking while admiring the moon. Zhang Zhiyue and Du Heng went to bed first. Seeing that Zhang Shennong's interest was not diminished, Su Ling stayed with him.
.
Zhang Shennong held a wine bowl in one hand and looked at the full moon in the sky, which was like a jade plate. His eyes were suddenly blurred and suddenly flashed with sadness. Su Ling knew that there was something on his mind, so he poured a bowl of wine for him and said: "
Grandpa has something unclear in his mind, so why don’t you tell me about it?"
Zhang Shennong seemed to hesitate, but he still sighed and said: "Su Ling, Ah Yue has already told you about Ah Yue's parents, right?"
Su Ling nodded, Zhang Shennong's eyes looked desolate, and he said after a while: "I think my Zhang family, although not a high-ranking family, can still be called a master in the apricot world. However, no matter how high the medical skills are, there are
What's the use? In the past, A Yue's father and mother died tragically at the hands of Shen Jizhou, who claimed to be a well-known family. Later, an old man was plotted by a villain and was imprisoned in the county prison. I think Zhang Shennong has been wandering for half of his life, and everything he has done is...
People in the world are suffering from illness, but what will be the end result?"
After saying that, he drank the wine from the bowl suddenly and said with an angry look: "I thought the world was in chaos and everything was upside down. I couldn't heal the country with my superb medical skills. It was a great good to save the people in the world. But later, although I couldn't do it, I could not heal the country."
, but thinking about protecting the people of a county is worthy of my passion. In the end, the red blood is cold and cold. Now I am retreating away from the hustle and bustle. I have no medical skills, but I have to take them into the coffin!"
Su Ling nodded sympathetically, thought for a while and came up with an idea, and then said: "Master, I once said that there is a hidden master in my hometown named Fu Shenzi. I still remember it."
Zhang Shennong nodded. Su Ling said: "Once upon a time, when I was as disheartened as my grandfather, I went to Fushenzi to pour out my heart. Fushenzi once said that the faults of all kinds of things are not the fault of the people.
It’s not the scholars, farmers, industry and commerce that are at fault. The fault is only in the troubled times. In this world, the world is in chaos. Those who are somewhat capable do not think about saving the people from fire and water, or relieving the siege from hanging upside down. Instead, they each have their own selfish desires, fight endlessly, seek kingship and hegemony, are ambitious, and make chaos.
After singing and I come on stage, how many people still have the word "home and country" in their hearts? The original sin of the troubled times is that the good hearts of the people have been deceived and the blood of the innocent has been chilled. This world, this world is sick, and it is already terminally ill."
Hearing this, Zhang Shennong sighed: "One word wakes up the dreamer. After all, he is an expert. Every word Fushenzi said is golden!"
Su Ling struck while the iron was hot and continued: "Fu Shenzi told me that in ancient times, there was a great sage who was originally a master of the apricot forest. Just like my grandfather, he wanted to use his medical skills to save this troubled world and ran among the people.
However, in the end, his blood was cold and he was unable to move. This great sage has seen through the world. The people in the world are sick, and they are very sick. It is not enough to cure their physical ailments. Their illness lies in
His heart, his spirit, his soul! Therefore, he finally gave up his medical skills, wrote books and biographies, and taught the world with the thoughts of the sages. In that ancient period, the world's atmosphere was influenced by his example, and the hot-blooded man, Pu Lao
The masses are just like waking up from a dream, establishing an immortal and prosperous age in ancient times!"
When Zhang Shennong heard this, his eyes showed a look of yearning, and he sighed: "I wonder if this sage is just a loser?"
Su Ling shook his head and said: "That was the ancient era. We know very little about that era. Fu Shenzi once said that this sage's surname was Zhou, his given name was Lu, and his courtesy name was Shuren!"
Su Ling was talking nonsense, silently hoping that this sage would not be blamed. If he was to blame, just blame Fushenzi. He just wanted to comfort Zhang Shennong, and it had nothing to do with him.
Zhang Shennong nodded with emotion and said: "Su Ling, do you have any ambition? Do you want to study medicine?"
Su Ling nodded and said hurriedly: "Of course I want to study medicine, but I don't know if I have the talent."
Zhang Shennong burst out laughing and said, "You know all about snakehead grass, silver-ringed snakes, and Liuwei Dihuang Pills, and yet you still say you have no talent? Why are you, your disciple Xuanyuan of Mount Liyou, so humble?"
Su Ling's old face turned red. He couldn't say that he had a wife, so he had to say: "That's just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse. Although I can't say that I don't understand this medical skill, it's really not much different from ordinary people."
Zhang Shennong smiled and said: "I am already old. After many things, I have made up my mind not to step out of the Flying Snake Valley again. I intend to pass on my medical skills to you. You will inherit my mantle in the future.
What? Besides, I also know how you feel about Ah Yue. When the time comes, you and Ah Yue will help the people in Nanzhang County and live a prosperous life. What do you think?"
Su Ling was startled at first, then there was a hint of unnoticeable embarrassment in his eyes, and he said solemnly: "Master, you are giving me medical skills to praise me. Naturally, I am very happy in my heart, but..."
Zhang Shennong stroked his beard and said, "Just? Just what?"
Su Ling said solemnly: "I can learn Grandpa's medical skills, but I don't want it to be a means of making a living. I just said that if you only save one person, how can you save the world? Once I learn this medical skill, I think I will be able to save people someday.
It’s just that although I’m a humble kid now, I still want to make my way in this world.”
Zhang Shennong was not surprised and said with a faint smile: "What about Ah Yue? If you want to go out in this world, how will Ah Yue arrange it? If you don't marry Ah Yue, how will she deal with herself? You also know Ah Yue.
Yue has recognized you!"
Su Ling's face darkened, and he said after a while: "Well... I haven't come up with a perfect solution yet, but if you give me some time, I might come up with a solution. However, there is an urgent matter right now, so I think this is the time.
That’s what grandpa should do.”
Zhang Shennong sighed and said: "That's fine, I just hope you don't betray Ah Yue. Tell me, what's the important matter?"
Su Ling said: "Write a book!"
"Writing a book?" Zhang Shennong was a little surprised and asked doubtfully: "I am just an old man in the apricot forest, and I am not a great Confucian. Although I have been elected, I can't write any good articles, so why should I write a book?"
Su Ling hurriedly said: "It's not that I asked you to write some articles, but I thought that I also lamented that your medical skills have no one to inherit and may be lost, so I wanted to pass them on to me. But, how will I do in this journey?
It's still unknown, so I have a bold idea. Why don't I write a book in this valley and write a medical book? This medical book can write down the magical methods of using all the medicinal materials in the world, and also how to treat typhoid and miscellaneous diseases in the world.
, People have a limited lifespan, but books can be passed down to thousands of generations. This is also a way to save the world!"
Zhang Shennong listened quietly, his eyes gradually becoming eager.
Su Ling added: "Master, it will take time for you to teach me medical skills. If you have talent, it will take at least three months. If you don't have it, it will take a year and a half before you can get a glimpse of it. Why don't you teach me during the day and at night?" Wouldn't it be best to have the best of both worlds with the help of the boy, who specializes in medical books? Maybe I can come up with a way to marry A Yue and go to the world at the same time these days!"
Zhang Shennong's heart was filled with turmoil. He suddenly stood up, clapped his hands and laughed and said: "Great good! Great good! Su Ling, if this medical book can be completed, it will be a great good thing! Let's do it!"
As he said this, thousands of spirits came to him, and he walked into the house in a few steps, taking a few steps into the house, took a pen and paper, spread it on the stone table in the courtyard, and said loudly: "Su Ling, hold the lamp. !”
"Okay!" Without further delay, Su Ling took out the wax lamp and illuminated the surrounding area of the stone table.
The figures of an old man and a young man suddenly grew taller under the candlelight.
"But what is the name of this medical book?" Zhang Shennong hesitated for a moment.
Su Ling thought for a moment and said, "Master, your name is Shennong, and you write about typhoid fever and miscellaneous diseases in the world. Why don't you call it..."
""Shen Nong's Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases"!......"
Zhang Shennong and Su Ling burst out laughing.
But seeing Zhang Shennong thinking for a moment, his writing suddenly started to change: "Zhang Shennong once traveled through the mountains and rivers in Nanzhang of the Jin Dynasty, and experienced many miscellaneous diseases among his relatives in the world. The medicine and stone were useless, and the desolation was so miserable that it broke people's hearts and minds. I blame today's People living in the world have not paid attention to medicine and have studied alchemy carefully. The best is to cure the illnesses of kings and relatives, the worst is to save the poor and the lowly, and the middle is to protect the body and maintain health. However, they compete for glory and position, and strive to compete with the powerful. , work diligently, only fame and fortune are the main tasks, and they worship the end of decoration, but suddenly abandon the original, the outside is beautiful and the inside is haggard. If the skin is gone, how can the hair be attached? Suddenly, it is exposed to the evil wind, and the baby is very sick. , when danger and misfortune come, he will tremble; he will bend his will, look to the witch for blessings, report to the poor and return to heaven, and suffer defeat. With a life span of a hundred years, he will hold the most valuable equipment and entrust ordinary doctors to do whatever they want. Ugh hoo hoo!
There are so many ordinary people in the world who are dying of poverty and hunger! Since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, up to the present day saint An Emperor, ten and seventy-eight people in the world have died due to illness. Feeling the loss of the past, and being unable to save the injured Hengyao, he diligently seeks ancient teachings and learned a lot. After collecting all kinds of prescriptions, although it is not possible to cure all diseases, we can see the disease and know its source. We can do our best to lick it as a merit..."
Many years later, doctors in the world read "Shen Nong's Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases" more and more, and they all admired it and cried.
This "Shen Nong's Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases" has become a sacred and inviolable classic among doctors.
