Clouds and mist swirled around, water vapor rose, changing like floating clouds, and like the air of heaven and earth. Everyone surrounded Shulot, listening to His Highness's divine revelation.
"Between heaven and earth, all things live and breathe, and there are various kinds of qi. They are intangible, colorless and tasteless, but they really exist. There are Yang qi that is full of vitality, there are constant qi that changes with the seasons, and there are also those that harm vitality.
The epidemic affects the health of the human body together!..."
Xiulote thought deeply for a long time, and then he preached in a deep voice until the sun set in the west. Naxiu next to him took out a pen and paper and carefully recorded every word of the divine revelation.
"... Yang Qi falls into our body with the birth of a baby and turns into different vitality. It is divided into three parts, which are heaven, earth and abyss in the priest's inheritance. The Qi of heaven falls on the head
, Tonali, which turned into the head, contains the divinity given by the Lord God and determines the fate of people. The energy of the earth falls in the heart and turns into Tayolia in the heart, which contains the human soul. The energy of the abyss
It falls on the liver and turns into Ihotel in the liver, which controls the health of the human body!"
Hearing this, Na Xiu paused for a moment and her expression became pious.
In the inheritance of Aztec priests, there is also the concept of "three talents", which are nothing but the sky, the earth and the abyss, as the manifestation of the divinity of the world. The human body corresponds to the world, has a mysterious connection, and also has
The three vitalities are like the "unity of heaven and man" in traditional Chinese thought.
In fact, this concept widely exists in the world of Central America. The three gods of the sun, moon and stars of the Prepecha people and the sacred heaven and earth of the Chichimec dog descendants all have similar cognitions.
"...Yang Qi resides in the human body, echoes with the heaven and earth, and maintains the operation of the human body. The cause of disease is the struggle between the Yang Qi in the human body and the normal Qi and epidemic Qi that invade the body! As for the struggle,
The result is either that the Yang Qi wins, expelling the two evil spirits, and the body returns to health; or that the evil Qi goes deep, suppressing the Yang Qi, and the disease becomes more difficult to treat; or the two coexist, and the disease is hidden in the body and a balance is temporarily achieved."
Shulot's voice was loud and clear, and every sentence was as loud as a bell.
The witch doctor inheritance of the Alliance corresponds to the nature of heaven and earth, and is perfectly integrated with the traditional theory of traditional Chinese medicine. The occult component of witch doctors can only be fully guided by the "qi" of traditional Chinese medicine theory. The reason for this is probably the Chinese medicine
In the same vein, many concepts originated from the ancient pre-Qin Dynasty. Both the "Huangdi Neijing" and "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" contain many long-standing legends, and naturally can also accommodate American witch doctors in the ignorant era.
"Xulot, so the reason why we get sick, grow old or die is because the Yang Qi is weak and unable to resist the evil Qi? And when the evil Qi enters the body, will it destroy the nine systems you mentioned?"
Alyssa's eyes flashed, thoughtfully. Such a statement was easier for the priests to understand than the tiny cells, and it was also easier for the people to believe.
"Exactly! When evil gas enters the body, the Yang Qi is weakened, and the organs that maintain the body's operation will be damaged. The evil gas that hurts people can be divided into two types, one is the normal gas caused by environmental changes, and the other is the epidemic gas derived from infection
!”
In Shurot's mind, he suddenly remembered a buried movie, and the words "Plague Theory" came to his mind. The greatest threat to American civilization is the plague... He smiled with emotion and spoke in a deep voice.
"Diseases in the human body can be divided into two types. Ordinary injuries and colds are caused by feeling the normal qi of heaven and earth; while serious epidemic diseases are caused by feeling the normal qi of heaven and earth! Normal qi and evil qi cannot be confused.
The sources of the two are very different, and the responses are also completely different!"
In traditional Chinese medicine, typhoid fever is a general term for exogenous diseases, rather than enteric typhoid fever, a highly infectious disease in later Western medicine.
"For example, the cold wave moved southward the year before last. Thousands of people in the northern city-states caught cold and fell ill. They had fevers, coughs, weakness and headaches. They were affected by the cold air from heaven and earth. The cold air entered the body and suppressed the yang energy. Ihotel suffered damage, and his body
As a result, we become weak. We need to get rid of the cold before we can gradually regain our health! It is hot in summer, and farmers who faint from heatstroke are suffering from heat. The sea breeze is moist, and fishermen have pain in their knees, which is caused by moisture... These are the normal qi of heaven and earth.
, affecting the operation of the human body!”
"Ah, so that's it. Shulot, when you say that, I understand!"
Alyssa nodded vigorously and suddenly realized. Then, she asked curiously.
"What about epidemic qi? Will it be more powerful than normal qi?"
"Alyssa, there were many casualties in the battle between the two armies. If the corpses are not buried, the disease will be generated and then the plague will be spread. And similar plague diseases can spread over a large area, causing many people to suffer from the same disease.
.This is not because of the intrusion of normal qi such as wind, cold, heat, and dampness, but because it is infected by the epidemic qi of heaven and earth!"
Shulot looked solemn and discussed the most important mechanism of the plague.
"Epidemic qi cannot be seen, touched, or smelled. It can suppress Yang Qi in the human body and multiply; it can also disperse in the sky and earth, spreading with the wind and water... And the way the qi is spread to people
, naturally there are two types. One is infection, which is due to contact with a sick person, and the disease in his body is contracted; the other is natural suffering, which involves breathing the disease in the wind or drinking the disease in the water.
, and thus get sick..."
"Most of the ways in which plague qi invades the human body is through the mouth and nose, and then invades the chest and abdomen and spreads throughout the body. In the chest and abdomen, it can damage the Tayolia of the heart and the Ihotel of the liver at the same time. And
The essence of epidemic qi is what I said before, bacteria and viruses that are smaller than dust, but they cannot be seen at the moment. These tiny epidemic qi have different entities and use different methods to damage different parts of the human body. Therefore,
Only a certain kind of epidemic qi can cause corresponding infectious diseases. This is the theory of miscellaneous qi!..."
Shulot paused for a moment, sighed quietly, and his voice became deeper.
"Because the epidemic can multiply and spread among people, it is particularly dangerous. Once a serious epidemic spreads in a city-state, the number of people who will get sick and die will be hundreds of thousands, or even millions!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Ah?! One million people died!"
Alyssa exclaimed when she heard this shocking number. Although she believed her lover's words, she could not imagine how cruel the scene was.
"Yes! Even the death of a million people is just the beginning."
Shulot looked heavy, thinking about the history of another time and space. The thick darkness came like a pavement, making it difficult to breathe.
In 1519-1520, smallpox was spread by the Spanish colonist Hernán Cortes. According to later estimates, in just two years, smallpox killed 5 to 8 million people in Central America.
Death, many tribes were wiped out!
The states of the Mexica Union suffered heavy casualties, with most of the nobles and warriors dead and wounded, and even the successor king Cuitlahuac died of smallpox. Millions of people fell into apocalyptic panic, struggled to fall into the abyss, and died of despair in the plague.
A year later, the Spanish colonists, who had been defeated several times, came back. With the power of smallpox, they captured the empty lake capital, the majestic Tenochtitlan.
In 1545, a new plague floated across the sea and spread across the land of Central America, bringing with it the cry of death. It was known in history as the "Cokoriztelli Pandemic." This pandemic may have been caused by a variety of virulent diseases.
Infectious diseases spread simultaneously, including typhus, enteric fever and measles. Between 1545 and 1548, the three-year pandemic caused a total of 5 million to 15 million deaths, directly taking away more than 80% of the population of Central America!
What is even more frightening is that this pandemic lasted for more than thirty years and was the most tragic plague in human history. From North America to South America, countless indigenous people struggled in despair. The pandemic occurred again between 1576 and 1578.
The outbreak took away half of the remaining population of Central America in three years, causing 2 million to 2.5 million deaths.
By 1578, there were only more than 2 million people alive in the entire Central American world, including the Yucatan region. Back in 1519, before the smallpox outbreak, the entire world's population was at least 22 million! In just 60 years,
Ninety percent of the population of Central America died, almost a genocide!
The cruel plague took away too many lives and even significantly reduced the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere. Studies have shown that one of the reasons for the occurrence of the Little Ice Age in the late Ming Dynasty was that changes in the composition of atmospheric gases caused the world to become colder in advance.
"Compared to the colonists, the plague is a threat of annihilation! Therefore, both the kingdom and the alliance must give top priority to the development of medicine. Only the medical level that transcends the times can deal with an unprecedented plague.
Possibly save American civilization!...And this, perhaps, is the most important meaning of my coming to this era..."
Shulot remained silent as a strong sense of mission surged into his heart, like a blazing flame burning in his heart that never stopped for a moment.
At this moment, both Alyssa and Naxiu stopped moving. They looked at their lover blankly, feeling as if his eyes were burning with light.
