There was already a hint of heat in the May afternoon.
Everyone in the room had some sweat on their faces, but no one said a word. They all watched Li Zexuan writing furiously on the table.
After a while, Li Zexuan picked up the written prescription, handed it to Sun Simiao and said, "Master Sun, please help me read the details."
Sun Simiao took the prescription and saw a few crooked words. He immediately frowned and thought to himself, didn't Master Lingxu teach Li Zexuan how to write
Li Zexuan also saw Sun Simiao's frown. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and secretly decided to practice calligraphy in the future. This calligraphy is a person's face, so it's not okay if he doesn't practice it.
He was also a little helpless. In the memory of the body he merged with, there really was no experience in writing. Maybe his predecessor had never practiced calligraphy either.
After Sun Simiao lamented that Li Zexuan's handwriting was like a dog scratch, he looked at the contents of the prescription and saw that it read:
"Oral administration: two liters of white wine (strong) in a large barrel, raw rehmannia glutinosa, cooked rehmannia glutinosa, Radix Polygonum multiflorum, angelica root, asparagus, and Ophiopogon japonicus each two liang and four qian, ginseng, wolfberry, three liang each, astragalus four liang, poria cocos. Six qian, five liang of jujube, 4 liang of Schisandra chinensis, 4 liang and 8 qian each of paeonol bark, cinnamon, and peach kernel, and 6 liang of raw rehmannia glutinosa.
External use: two liters of white wine (extremely strong) in a large barrel, two liang and four qian each of Tianqi, Xuejie, and Liupo, each of rhubarb, peach kernel, adenophora, safflower, angelica tail, **, myrrh, rhinoplasty, and Dipsacus Five liang each, Eucommia ulmoides, Drynariae, Scutellaria spp., Sappanth, and Wumingyi each three liang, Ma Xiezi (fried yellow and hairless) each three liang and four qian, and a sprig of seven leaves costs one liang and eight qian. "
After reading the prescription, Sun Simiao closed his eyes and meditated, mumbling intermittently to himself. After a moment, he opened his eyes and said to Li Zexuan:
"Xiao Xuan, in Pindao's opinion, although this prescription has some surprising qualities, in the final analysis, it can only treat injuries, activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and strengthen muscles and bones. It is really used to treat hidden injuries, so the efficacy may be somewhat not enough."
Li Zexuan smiled and said: "What Taoist Master Sun said is reasonable, but it reflects the key role of spirits. As the saying goes, medicine borrows the power of wine and wine helps medicine. The two complement each other and maximize their effectiveness. Only in this way can Uncle Qin be cured. The hidden injury."
Sun Simiao glanced at Li Zexuan with some uncertainty and said, "Then let's try your medicinal wine."
... ... ... ... ... ...
The Qin Mansion and Li Zexuan's home were not far apart. Within two quarters of an hour, a young servant knocked on the door and walked in holding two large porcelain bottles.
Li Zexuan took the porcelain vase, handed it to Sun Simiao and said, "Taoist Master Sun, take a look."
Sun Simiao took the bottle of medicinal wine that said "external use" on it and opened the wooden cork. This was a strong liquor with over 60 degrees of alcohol content, and the aroma of wine and medicine filled the room. Cheng Yaojin sniffed hard and praised: "What a great wine, this is more enjoyable than the drunkenness of gods! Xiaoxuan, do you still have this kind of wine at your place? Give me a jar as well, how about it?"
Khan, this old drunkard wants to drink. Wouldn't it burn someone to death if he drank such a strong drink? If you don't burn someone to death, you'll probably get alcohol poisoning.
Li Zexuan quickly shook his head and said: "Uncle Cheng, this wine can only be used externally, not for drinking. Besides, it is extremely difficult to brew this kind of strong wine. There is only a little left now."
When Cheng Yaojin heard this, he shook his head in disappointment.
Sun Simiao put the medicinal wine under his nose and sniffed it for a while, then said in surprise: "The wine is strong, and the taste of the medicine is also strong. The medicine really takes advantage of the power of the wine, and the wine helps the medicine. Maybe it can really cure General Qin's injuries." .”
He opened another bottle of medicinal wine for internal use, and after smelling it, he nodded and said to Qin Shubao: "General Qin, you can try this medicinal wine for a few days, both internally and externally. After a while, Pindao will come back to see how your hidden injuries have recovered. how."
Qin Shubao cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Thank you so much, Doctor Sun, Xiaoxuan, your uncle Qin will also remember your kindness this time."
Li Zexuan quickly bowed and said, "Uncle Qin's words are serious."
He turned to look at Sun Simiao again and said:
"Daozhang Sun, my master once told me that the blood of the human body is generally less than 10% of the body's weight. The total blood loss of Uncle Qin over the years is probably more than three times the total blood volume in his body, and Uncle Qin Now that I am older, my own hematopoietic ability is far inferior to that of young people. I am worried that Uncle Qin’s qi and blood cannot be fully restored with your prescriptions for replenishing qi and blood. "
Sun Simiao nodded in agreement: "Pindao also agrees with the commander's theory. General Qin did lose too much energy and blood, but apart from letting General Qin recover slowly, Pindao can't think of any other way."
Qin Shubao's eyes lit up at this moment, and he asked tentatively: "Xiaoxuan, do you have any idea that can help me get better quickly?"
He had really had enough of the days when he couldn't carry it on his shoulders or lift it with his hands. If there was a way to make him get better quickly, Qin Shubao felt that he would be willing to shorten his life by a few years.
Cheng Yaojin and Mrs. Qin also looked at Li Zexuan eagerly.
Li Zexuan pondered for a moment, considered his words, and said: "Uncle Qin, although this method can make up for your lost energy and blood in a short time, it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, which will make people dependent. It should not be used as a last resort. Use it lightly, you'd better follow Taoist Master Sun's prescription and slowly nurse it back for a while to see the effect, it's more prudent."
Blood transfusion is indeed the fastest and most effective way, but now Qin Shubao's own hematopoietic function is reduced, and blood transfusion treats the symptoms but not the root cause. If blood is transfused once, it will be transfused a second time, and a third time. What's more, he doesn't have any blood transfusion tools around him now.
Qin Qiong waved her hand and said with a smile: "As long as it can make me feel good for a while, I'll do whatever it takes, Xiaoxuan, just tell me."
Sun Simiao was also curious and said: "Xiaoxuan, what can you do, tell me first, and Pindao will help you with the details."
Li Zexuan hesitated for a moment and said, "I wonder if Master Sun has ever heard of the art of taking blood to extend life."
When Sun Simiao heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he shouted sternly: "Xiao Xuan, as a disciple of Lingxu, how dare you mention this kind of evil magic?"
When Sun Simiao heard the words "take blood to extend his life", he immediately thought of some evil cultivators in the world. He had been practicing medicine and doing good all his life, how could he watch Li Zexuan go astray, so he shouted to stop.
Seeing Sun Simiao's excessive reaction, Li Zexuan knew that he was thinking wrong, and quickly explained: "Master Sun, this art of taking blood and extending life is not a magic. My master once said before his death that a person will continue to produce blood, once If you draw a little blood, as long as it does not exceed 10% of the body's total blood volume, nothing will happen, but it will be good for your own metabolism."
"Is that true?" Sun Simiao asked.
"It's absolutely true. My master once saved a seriously injured mountain man with this method, and the man whose blood was drawn is still very healthy." Li Zexuan replied affirmatively.
Cheng Yaojin rolled up his sleeves and said with a grin: "Since you can't kill anyone by drawing blood, Xiaoxuan, please quickly draw my blood and give it to your uncle Qin."
Li Zexuan shook his head and said: "Uncle Cheng, there are five blood types in the world. Except for one very special blood type, different blood types cannot mix with each other. Besides, when the boy went down the mountain, he did not bring back the blood transfusion kit left by my master. . Therefore, Uncle Qin’s disease of weak Qi and blood is currently best managed through medication. If the effect is not satisfactory, I will try to make a set of blood transfusion kits to transfuse Uncle Qin’s blood.”
Qin Shubao could only nod his head and said: "Then according to what Xiaoxuan said, I will recuperate for a while."
Cheng Yaojin patted Li Zexuan twice and said, "You prodigal boy, your master's things are so precious, why don't you know how to bring them back?"
Li Zexuan jumped away quickly and rubbed his head depressedly.
Sun Simiao was very interested in the blood type theory Li Zexuan just mentioned. He said as if he had discovered some new treasure:
"Xiao Xuan, is there any solid evidence for the blood type theory you just mentioned?"
Li Zexuan affirmed: "Of course there is. After the boy has completed the blood transfusion kit, Daochang Sun will come over to see the boy and do a small experiment."
Sun Simiao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, Pindao has been posted at the Imperial Medical Office recently. Remember to send someone to call me when the time comes."
