Hai Guanchao rented the facade of the back street and registered it as "Taisu Clinic" when applying for the license. The clinic he opened in the previous city was handed down from his family. It was not called Taisu Clinic, but to avoid trouble, he changed its name.
Xie Lingya suggested that he use his own name, "I think many pharmacies and clinics are named after their bosses. Li Meihua Clinic and Wang Jianguo Clinic, your names are better than theirs."
However, people like Hai Guanchao have no interest in putting their name on the sign. Taisu Mai is not actually the main method he used when he practiced medicine, he just registered it casually.
In addition to applying for some documents, it was to prepare indoor furnishings, medicinal materials, etc., and it took a while to arrange for Haiguanchao's savings. It took about a month for the clinic to open, and Xie Lingya helped to prepare it.
The clinic is diagonally opposite the Taoist Temple. Xie Lingya also kept his promise, really opened the back door, and then hung a sign to instruct Taisu Clinic to enter from here. People who didn't know saw it in front and thought that part of his Taoist temple was rented out to be used as a clinic, just like the newsagent.
In fact, Xie Lingya had guessed that if his uncle could not find the haunted facade, he would open a place in the Taoist temple for Haiguanchao. The answer is very likely!
It's just that the present is not what it used to be. Now there are many more pilgrims in Baoyangguan than before, and there are a few more people living there, so there is really no room for it.
And if he got a place for Hai Guanchao, maybe the patriarch would be in a hurry at that time: our patriarch lived in the side hall because the place was not big enough!
All in all, Taisu Clinic was officially opened, and everyone celebrated internally.
After the door was opened, only a few nearby residents rushed to buy medicine at first. They are all taking Chinese medicine. Seeing that a Chinese medicine clinic has been opened here, they will come to see if the medicinal materials here are not complete. If they can, it will be more convenient to prescribe medicine here in the future.
Hai Guanchao's business ability is very good, otherwise he would not be hated by his peers in the previous city. Because Xie Lingya learned Taisu Mai from him, he would go to the opposite side when he had nothing to do. He saw with his own eyes how Hai Guanchao referred to a patient who was just here to get medicine as his patient.
Hai Guanchao accurately stated the history and cause of the patient's illness by observing the patient's appearance, complexion and other characteristics, combined with the medicine he took.
Originally, people saw him in his mid-thirties, and he was not an old Chinese medicine doctor. Hearing that he was accurate, I admired him a little.
At this time, Hai Guanchao mentioned that he wanted to give people a pulse, so there was no resistance. The next step was to talk about the treatment plan. If the patient thinks that it is more reliable than the original one, then it will basically become a problem, and then it will be a question of curative effect.
Hai Guanchao told Xie Lingya that sometimes if he felt that the patient still had some doubts, he would use the physiognomy technique, that is, the Taisu pulse method, to diagnose the patient's past experience when taking the pulse.
Traditional Chinese medicine has the ability to cure diseases before they can prevent future diseases, and physiognomy also allows Hai Guanchao to more accurately infer when a patient may get what disease in the future.
"Sir, when he was thirteen years old, he should have been drowning." He said that while watching the tide of the sea, the patient was shocked, and he thought whether there were sequelae of his drowning, and at the same time he thought that the sea view Tide is a magician.
The patient looked at medical techniques, Xie Lingya looked at the physiognomy, and the Taisu Mai method was really miraculous. There were many physiognomy techniques mentioned in Baoyang’s notes.
Previously, Xie Lingya's learning in this area was relatively superficial, and he just looked at his face. After seeing the specific performance, his enthusiasm for learning increased even more.
Hai Guanchao was a little smug, and felt that he was a master at a certain level.
There are so many changes in Taisu Mai, it will take more than a month for him to explain all the main points and add some classic cases, not to mention that Xie Lingya has to memorize and practice later.
There are too many changes here, and it has to be combined with external factors such as climate. For example, when Hai Guanchao was a child, it took several months to lay the foundation for getting started, and then he tried to identify the pulse.
…
Xie Lingya didn't come to the clinic that day, and replenished the inventory of talismans in the Taoist temple. Taisu clinic received a patient.
It was a woman holding a seven- or eight-year-old child. Although the child opened his eyes, his expression was dull. Hai Guanchao glanced at it and felt that something was wrong, "You child..."
"I'm here to see the child, Doctor Hai, right?" The woman put the child on the chair beside her, what position did she put down, the child kept that position, only the eyes moved occasionally, like a wooden man In general, "I heard from a neighbor that you are very skilled in medicine. My child didn't know what to do some time ago, but suddenly... he stopped talking. I took him to several hospitals, but I couldn't find the cause. I have tried both Chinese and Western medicine. "
The woman's brows were very anxious and she looked tired. It seemed that she was really tired these days. She was also not very willing to say words like "stupid", only that the child stopped talking.
Hai Guanchao asked her to be more specific, and the woman said, "At 9 o'clock in the evening on the 16th, I remember very clearly that I was making a late-night snack in front of the stove, and the child came to play next to him, because he sprinkled salt on the ground. Now, I scolded him a few words in a hurry. Who knows, the child passed out at the time and had no fever, but when he woke up again, it was like this. He didn't speak, and he couldn't eat or go to the toilet. It was all me and me. His father took time off to take care of him. He went to several hospitals, but there was nothing he could do."
"I'll check the pulse first." Hai Guanchao kept his face and checked the pulse of the child.
His family has practiced medicine for generations, and he has also encountered some inexplicable things. With personal experience and medical skills, how to look at this child, how can it seem that he has lost his soul, not other diseases.
Humans have three souls and seven souls. If the soul is incomplete, various problems will naturally arise, the most typical one being madness. There are many reasons for losing a soul, and the most important thing is to get it back in time.
When doctors in some hospitals see a similar situation, they will euphemistically persuade patients to find someone who understands this, but now there are fewer and fewer, and the internal reasons are self-evident.
Hai Guanchao didn't say it immediately, but asked, "What did the previous doctors say?"
"I brought the medical records, and they said some nonsense. They were not sure. They recommended to go to a larger hospital. They made a random guess. It's a bit like this, but it's not quite the same and can't be sure."
The woman showed the medical records to Hai Guanchao, and said, "There is also a relative who asked me to see what kind of goddess to collect souls. It's ridiculous. I hate these feudal superstitions the most."
Just wanted to recommend a woman to watch the tide at the sea holding Yangguan in front: "..."
The woman called out uneasily, "Doctor Hai?"
"Your son suffered from chickenpox when he was three years old, but he recovered very quickly. He has a body of Shaoyang, so it is difficult to endure in summer, and he especially likes to eat cold drinks, which can easily lead to diarrhea." Hai Guanchao returned to his senses. , said slowly.
"Yes, yes!" The woman thought that the neighbors said that Dr. Hai's diagnosis was accurate, and she was right. Her son usually likes to eat cold drinks, but since he got sick, he can't even ask for water.
After Hai Guanchao gained the patient's trust, he said, "His illness was caused by sudden shock. I have a friend who knows that some earthen recipes may be useful. I wonder if you would like to try it?"
The woman didn't think of the meaning of this "earth recipe" for a while, and nodded subconsciously, "Try it!"
There is no other way. Those hospitals can't diagnose it, and they dare not prescribe the medicine. She is as anxious as a fly. Suddenly someone said that it might be useful. She seems to have grabbed a life-saving straw. I thought that as long as it wasn't too much of a recipe, with the mentality that it might be useful, try it out.
Hai Guanchao called Xie Lingya and asked him to come over. He only said, "I have a patient here. The child is so scared that he can't speak and can't take care of himself. Didn't your uncle teach you some local recipes? Come here. Let's see if it works."
Xie Lingya was at first at a loss when he heard it, but he soon understood. He was afraid that a patient might have hit the evil, so he couldn't tell.
Now many people are just like that Bai Lu. They don't believe this. If you tell him the truth, you won't be able to continue chatting, and it's even counterproductive.
Xie Lingya responded twice and ran to Taisu Clinic, "Doctor Hai."
When the woman saw it, Doctor Hai was young enough. How could the person he called be younger. But it should be alright if it is said to be a local recipe passed down by the elders.
"It's this kid, come and see." Hai Guanchao said.
Xie Lingya supported the child on the chair and checked it out, but he felt like he was lost. He knew that he couldn't tell the parents directly, so he said he would discuss it with Hai Guanchao first.
Although the woman was curious, she watched them walk outside the door and talked.
"How did he lose his soul?" Xie Lingya asked.
Hai Guanchao repeated the woman's words and said, "What do you think this might be because of this? Just being frightened?"
"Impossible, the child is so fragile now, but he looks good." Xie Lingya thought about the woman cooking in front of the stove that Hai Guanchao said, something flashed in his heart, but he didn't remember it for a while. , "The more important thing now is how to collect the soul of that child. If you don't believe this, can you agree to do it?"
How to collect souls, whether it is a folk goddess or a Taoist family, there are many methods, Xie Lingya is also aware of some, but if the parents do not support it, it will be difficult. Because of these methods, many other tools that will be used can be known to be alchemy at a glance.
"Do you have any way to disguise yourself as an 'earth recipe'? Don't do too many rituals." Hai Guanchao asked.
"..." Xie Lingya recalled, "Is that spell not allowed to be used?"
Hai Guanchao thought about it: "It's too obvious, it's not good."
The two looked back at the woman, smiled awkwardly, and turned around again, "Can you really tell the truth with her?"
"To be honest, I'm afraid I'll turn around and leave..." Hai Guanchao said.
Xie Lingya quickly took out his mobile phone and temporarily flipped through Baoyang's notes.
Hai Guanchao asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
"Oh, this is a note, I see what it can be used for." Xie Lingya said, "Go and talk to the child again, hold on."
"Well..." Hai Guanchao glanced at Xie Lingya again and flipped through the notes, thinking that the child's learning was not solid, and he had to flip through the notes even if he couldn't remember. But I didn't think much about it for a while, and went back to the clinic, saying that my friend was still thinking, and took advantage of this time to check the woman's pulse.
Xie Lingya flipped through it for five minutes, and it was really rewarding. He felt that there was a way to try it, so he went back to the clinic and said, "I have a relatively simple treatment plan that I can try, but I need the cooperation of my mother."
The woman was shocked by Hai Guanchao's pulse diagnosis just now, and she didn't hesitate, "What do you need me to do, tell me."
"Dr. Hai asked Qingmuxiang and Lingling to boil water for use. I'll give the child a massage later, and the child's mother will pinch the child's fingertips and bite her own fingertips at the same time."
Xie Lingya looked a little puzzled by the woman after speaking, and quickly said, "The old way is to say this. I suspect that it may be that the child can hear the mother's pain at the same time as the massage, and the subconscious is also touched."
The woman was really fooled, "Okay, okay."
This is already the least superstitious method Xie Lingya can think of.
Other methods, such as burning paper money, setting up altars, burning talismans, and some folk methods require the mother to call the soul, it is estimated that people will be speechless when they see it.
As the saying goes, mother and child are connected, and there is a saying that bites the heart of the finger, that is, if the mother bites her finger, the child has a feeling in his heart, and he knows he has to go home early when he is outside.
-It is actually the same principle as in the folk method, the mother calls the child to come back to life, but one uses the voice and the other uses the action.
Xie Lingya pretended to massage the child's head, and when the woman started nibbling on her fingers, she urged him to work harder.
The woman was so anxious that she bit her fingertips in one fell swoop, and suddenly cried out in pain.
"… Dangling ghosts, where to keep them. Bring the soul to possess the body and return it to yourself. The gate of heaven opens, and the boy from a thousand miles sends the soul..." Xie Lingya took the opportunity to whisper the soul-receiving curse.
Without the cooperation of other talismans and handprints, just reciting the soul-receiving spell is not necessarily useful, and the lost soul does not know how to come back after hearing it. That's why Xie Lingya asked the woman to bite her fingers and use the blood-connected induction to guide the child's soul back.
The woman pinched her bleeding finger and saw Xie Lingya muttering. Before she could understand what he was muttering, she saw the child who had been silent for many days suddenly burst into tears.
"Haohao!" The woman instantly fell into ecstasy, ignoring her bleeding fingers, holding the child's face, "Haohao, do you still recognize mother?"
The child saw his mother's face and rushed into her arms, "Mom—"
The woman cried with joy when she heard her son speak.
Xie Lingya breathed a sigh of relief next to him. His method was half self-created, but it worked. He quickly wiped the child's face and back with the water from Qingmuxiang and Lingling, so as to eliminate the filth and calm the soul.
Hai Guanchao also took out the medicine and asked the woman to stop the bleeding on her finger.
The woman still held the child tightly with one hand, reluctant to let go, and thanked Hai Guanchao and Xie Lingya crying, "Doctor Hai, and this little brother, thank you so much, I don't know what to say. Thank you, really!"
"It's alright, don't cry, the child is all right." Xie Lingya touched the child, and the child also vaguely said, "Mom, I seem to be very dizzy. I slept for a long time, am I sick?"
"It's alright, Haohao's illness is healed." The woman comforted.
The child raised his face, "Why am I sick?"
The woman said tearfully, "I was frightened by my mother."
Xie Lingya suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Did any relatives in the elder sister's family pass away some time ago?"
The woman raised her head and looked at Xie Lingya in surprise.
Seeing her expression, she knew it was, and Xie Lingya affirmed the thoughts in her heart.
The woman was just in a hurry before, but now she thinks about the so-called dirt house carefully, and in the process, she seems to see Xie Lingya muttering something he doesn't know, and now he suddenly asks about the death of his relatives, he suddenly feels a little hairy. I don't want to believe my guesses.
Xie Lingya didn't mean to say anything further, he just said: "Then Doctor Hai will make another recipe to consolidate the vitality of the child."
Hai Guanchao hummed, took the paper, opened the prescription, and grabbed the medicine by the way.
The child has just woken up, his energy is not good, and now he falls asleep relying on his mother. The woman picked him up, waited for Hai Guanchao to get the medicine, hesitated again and again, but said to Xie Lingya: "Thank you little brother... Well, can you tell me why Haohao is frightened? Some time ago, the child's grandmother did indeed died."
Xie Lingya and Hai Guanchao looked at each other. At this time, it's okay to say that the child is all right, and it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not.
Xie Lingya said: "In the past, there was a saying of Huisha, and it was called Yangyang, which can be understood as returning to the soul, but it is not only in the first seven, it needs to be calculated according to the time of the deceased's death. When it comes to Huisha, people in the family especially Even children avoid going out, because it is said that the dead souls are wandering at home at this time, and if they accidentally collide, they will lose their souls in light, or die suddenly."
The woman listened for a while, apparently having difficulty digesting it for a while.
Xie Lingya looked at her and said, "There is a custom when returning to Sha, if the family wants to know what kind of child the deceased relative will have in the next life, they sprinkle a layer of ash in front of the stove, because the last step of the dead soul is to Xie the stove. , maybe you can see footprints in the ashes."
He just said it briefly. In fact, a more detailed explanation is that there will be traces of hemp rope or iron chains on the ashes, representing the depth of the guilt of the dead soul. If the guilt is serious, it may have come back with iron shackles.
Footprints are not necessarily human footprints, but may be other animals, which represent what kind of womb the dead soul will be cast into in the next life.
Xie Lingya hesitated and then said, "In reverse calculation, the relatives should be at eight o'clock in the evening seventeen days before the return."
There is a formula for calculating the time to return to evil. It can be reversed. Of course, Xie Lingya has read the formula, but this is the first time.
"... God." The woman covered her mouth. Her mother-in-law had indeed died seventeen days before that, and the exact time was right. This outsider would never know.
And the woman thought that before the child was frightened, she was cooking supper in front of the stove, and the child knocked the salt on the ground. Improper and ashes have the same effect...
"You don't need to have any burdens. If you don't die, you will have good luck. I think this child is very blessed. I think this child is very good."
I have to say that the woman was deeply comforted. At this time, she could no longer believe in Xie Lingya and Hai Guanchao, so she quickly thanked again, "Little brother... No, Master, thank you very much, thank you, I would like to ask you in the future. Where should I go if I find you?"
Xie Lingya pointed to the outside, "I'm at the Baoyang Temple opposite."
The woman froze again, hugged the child, bowed, and said incoherently: "Okay, okay, I remember, I will visit the master there later..."
She lives around here, so why haven't she heard of Baoyangguan, which is quite famous recently, but she didn't believe this kind of thing at all before.
Xie Lingya finally said that he was holding Yangguan, and the woman was instantly shocked by what she had heard before.
…
A few days later, the woman led the whole family to Baoyang Temple to say thanks again. In the past few days, her family took the child to the hospital for a checkup, and it was confirmed that there was no problem at all.
Although the rest of her family didn't see it with their own eyes, they were a little in awe of Xie Lingya after listening to the woman's recitation. Especially after seeing me, I'm quite young.
On that day, the woman only paid the consultation fee at Taisu Clinic. After she went back, the family discussed it, and she came here that day to give Xie Lingya a red envelope with 2,000 yuan in it.
In fact, why is it so much to call a soul? Uncle Xie Lingya used to do it for free, but everyone brought it in front of him. Xie Lingya was afraid that they would be uneasy, so he accepted it and took a few amulets for them.
The woman took it seriously and told her son to take it with him.
Her son's soul came back, and she took Haiguanchao's medicine for the past few days, and she has recovered her spirits. The child didn't understand that much, and he had never been to a Taoist temple since he was a child. He was very curious and kept looking around. At this time, he nodded obediently after listening to his mother's instructions. He asked Xie Lingya, "Did you save me, uncle? Thank you. "
Xie Lingya smiled at the child, "Uncle is just helping your mother by the side. Seeing that mother's fingers are broken, it's for you."
The woman's fingers were bitten that day, and at this time, she was still covered with medicine. How could her fingers not hurt her heart, and it was inconvenient to do anything at ordinary times. At this time, the child took her hand and kissed it a few times, and her heart was very bright again.
After the family left.
"Teacher Xie, are their children going to hell?" He Zun was running to play today. He was the number one believer in Baoyangguan, and he was familiar with Xie Lingya and others, so he ran behind to hear it.
On the big weekend, Shi Changxuan was also there, but he was silently using the computer to read documents.
Xie Lingya glanced at Shi Changxuan, put on his hips and said, "No, I just lost my soul. I don't believe in evil. At first, I didn't dare to do it. I lied to her that she was an idiot, and then I..."
Xie Lingya made a rendering of what he had done, especially highlighting the fact that he used his mobile phone to check Baoyang's notes and found seventeen or eight ways to collect souls, and take a look at our knowledge reserve.
He Zun listened, but was very interested in Hai Guanchao's medical skills, "Dr. Hai is so good, anyone who likes to eat ice in summer knows that children."
"What's that? I heard that his dad gave people a pulse. He even knows whether his unborn son eats ice or not." Xie Lingya said casually.
He Zun: "...Impossible, is this still a medical technique?"
This is really not entirely a medical skill. Xie Lingya thought that he was also learning Taisu Mai recently, and said, "Oh, by the way, bring it in your hand, I'll check the pulse for you, I recently learned a few hands from Dr. Hai. "
He Zhen held out his hand curiously, "Mr. Xie is also interested in medicine."
Xie Lingya felt the pulse for a while, and said, "The liver is relatively clear, which means that your family is relatively rich, but it is strict with you and will not let you squander. Besides, the front is small and the back is big, this part... you The family has been fortune for about 30 years? No wonder I have maintained the habit of not letting my children squander."
Xie Lingya recited the parts of the formulas silently before, and he became more fluent later, "... Recently, the farm has been rich, did the family buy you a house? It's a bit biased... No, buy it somewhere else, is it the provincial capital? You Don't you stay in Jiyang after graduation?"
He Zun was stunned. His family was indeed rich in business about thirty years ago, but his parents were not spoiled, and...
"I, my mother called the day before yesterday and said that she bought me a house in the provincial capital and asked me to go to the provincial capital for development in the future." He Zun said dizzily, "No... Wait, isn't this a pulse diagnosis?"
Xie Lingya took a sip of water, "It's a pulse diagnosis, I'll show you a photo by the way, and tell you that if you're right, you have three courses to fail."
He Zun suddenly screamed: "What!!"
Zhang Daoting opened the door and probed, "Boss, the town house talisman is gone, can you make it up?"
"Here." Xie Lingya put down the water glass and went out.
He Zun lost his soul in the same place, "It's too miserable, hang three doors... Is there any salvation..."
After a while, Hai Guanchao came in. He and He Zun were on the same side. Seeing his appearance, he asked casually, "What's wrong with Xiao He?"
He Zun said bleakly: "Doctor Hai, Teacher Xie just said that I have three courses to fail this semester..."
When Hai Guanchao heard this, it was Xie Lingya who saw it out. It wasn't the end of the day, so he immediately stretched out his hand, "I'll give you a pulse."
Xie Lingya had only been in contact with him for a long time, but he dared to give people a pulse diagnosis. What if this was wrong, it would scare children.
He Zun stretched out his hand pitifully, "What kind of crazy tricks are you doing... He also saw that my family got rich 30 years ago. My parents wouldn't let me spend it, but some time ago they gave me a lot of money. The provincial capital bought a house…”
The more He Zun continued, the weirder Hai Guanchao's expression became.
Right, all right.
But it has only been over a month since he brought Xie Lingya into contact with Taisu Mai. He only explained all the key points not long ago, and most people are still memorizing the content at this time.
"..." At this time, Shi Changxuan, who was beside him, suddenly glanced at him, opened his mouth but said nothing in the end, and continued to read.
Haiguanchao: "..."
Hai Guanchao's face turned green.
He seemed to know why Shi Changxuan and Zhang Daoting were staring at him at the time, and he remembered that when Xie Lingya was looking at the notes when he saw the woman before, he had a terrible guess.
At that time, I thought that his studies were not solid, but now I think that this person has learned the Taisu Mai method in a month. At that time, I would not actually be ready to learn it now when I was looking for notes temporarily...!
…
Only He Zun's screeching voice echoed in the room:
"Dr. Hai, why don't you talk, Dr. Hai? Hey, why is this pulse diagnosis like fortune-telling? If it's true or false, I'm going to fail the course? Did Teacher Xie learn from you? Are you a master and apprentice?"
