Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 387: medicine

Views:

This "Shennong's Herbal Classic" is not the one on Earth, but it has the same name.

In this world of martial arts, with the existence of people with deep insight, the development of medicine will actually far exceed the normal ancient level. There will be relatively few misunderstandings, and there will not be some imaginary use of similar methods to treat the body or weird medicinal guides.

The book on Earth records 365 kinds of medicines, and due to its age, there are still some errors, but here I'm afraid there are more than 3,000 kinds.

This requires memorizing and studying carefully, which is not a feat that can be accomplished in a short period of time. Without the help of the heavenly book, forget about learning it properly.

The "Master" didn't really just leave it to him to learn on his own; he still had to act like a "Master".

The voice of instruction drilled into Zhao Changhe's ears one by one: "Pharmacology is mainly about the four qi, five flavors, meridians, rise and fall, etc. The four qi are the rise and fall of yin and yang, and the changes of cold and heat; the five flavors are..."

"Medicines are divided into seven categories: independent, mutually dependent, mutually usable, mutually fearful, mutually hostile, mutually opposing, and mutually destructive. The seven emotions must be harmonious before they can be used together... What's that expression on your face? I'm not talking about the harmony of yin and yang!"

"No, no, Master, continue." Zhao Changhe lowered his head and flipped through the book.

His expression was wrong. It was not that Tang Wanzhuang had imagined the harmony of yin and yang, but that the harmony of the seven emotions was essentially a chemical change of different elements. Different paths led to the same destination. Unfortunately, he had basically returned all the knowledge he had learned in school to his teachers. Now he could only live like this by cheating...

It's really shameful for a time traveler to behave like this.

However, the heavenly book that he had placed high hopes on did not disappoint him and actually responded.

Although the original VR scene was beautiful, the flowers, plants and trees were all ordinary species, nothing special. However, with the "Shennong's Herbal Classic", the flowers and plants in it began to evolve into the appearance of various medicinal herbs, which were very vivid and much easier to recognize than the abstract patterns in the book.

Zhao Changhe doubted whether ordinary apprentices who learned about the appearance of drugs from books would not recognize the real thing when they saw it...

But the medicinal herbs that evolved and grew were screened out from thousands of species and only a hundred species remained.

Because the Heavenly Book is not related to creation, it is related to martial arts - it doesn't care whether these medicines can cure colds, heatstroke or stomach upsets, it only cares about the medicinal value such as healing injuries, increasing internal strength and strengthening the body, so only related types are left, which are relatively few.

At the same time, each physical medicinal material left behind is accompanied by a superficial text description, which is more targeted than the introduction in the book. It does not analyze the properties of the medicine, but only tells you what prescription it can be used with and what martial arts value it has.

For example: "Golden Stork, supplemented with white ox gall, Sanyu grass, etc., ground into a paste, has a miraculous effect in treating external injuries. The proportion is as follows... In addition, if it is supplemented with red gall sand and mixed with water in a pot and heated, the sand can be used for forging iron sand palm external skills. The proportion is... "

I should have thought of it earlier. Before I got the second page of the heavenly book, the gold foil that had not yet been unsealed was able to analyze that the fruit given by Xia Longyuan could be used to lay the foundation for the Blood Shura Body, and it also provided guidance on the Dragon Elephant Blood Ginseng needed later. It was originally a part of the "Body Strengthening Martial Arts Analysis".

Now with the cooperation of the second page of the Book of Nature, its completeness has been improved, and what it can show has become more specific... The flaw is that it will "grow" and analyze whatever medicine is written in the book, and those that are not mentioned in the book will not appear on their own.

Unfortunately, after looking through more than a hundred types, not a single one matched Tang Wanzhuang's situation.

Zhao Changhe quietly touched the ring, moved the "Atlas of Mountains and Rivers" in the corner, and placed it on the two pages of the heavenly book.

Most of the things recorded here are strange things, not only medicines but also minerals... In fact, there are people. But of course people will not appear here, but there are more things between the mountains and rivers, all kinds of strange and bizarre things.

"Juntian Blood Jade is a rare item. It contains pure blood energy. Extract it, mix it with sharp blade grass, and boil it into water for body forging. This is the next step in the evolution of the Blood Shura Body."

"Record of Mountains and Rivers" records: Juntian Blood Jade is produced in the mountains of the Spirit Clan and is extremely rare.

Zhao Changhe: “…”

This tribe looks familiar.

Forget it, let’s not look at this. The important matter now is Tang Wanzhuang’s illness.

Zhao Changhe observed for a long time and finally found a relevant one: "The lotus, supplemented with the bodhi fruit, can be refined into a pill. It has a miraculous effect on healing meridian damage and recovery. It can even connect broken meridians. If the meridians are intact, taking it can expand the meridians and strengthen their toughness. It can be called a holy medicine for meridian recuperation."

Being caught off guard is effective for his own condition... Ever since he expanded his meridians in the Xuanwu Secret Realm and improved his foundation to a level slightly worse than that of ordinary people, Zhao Changhe has not been so concerned about this anymore. It is enough.

But the current practice may not require too much, so it is enough. When the practice reaches a higher level, this kind of meridian will inevitably become an obstacle.

"Haunting Soul Grass, supplemented with Cloud Sun Leaf, can nourish the damaged soul and strengthen the spirit... However, the damage to the soul cannot be cured by medicine, it can only be used as an aid. The fundamental solution is the Rejuvenation Technique."

That's it.

Tang Wanzhuang has auxiliary treatments for everything from meridian damage to the soul.

The problem now is that these things are basically scattered in various secret realms, and it is impossible to find where they are... But at least there is a direction.

Of course, for the situation of the spirit and soul, medicine can only be auxiliary, and one should be mentally prepared for this. No matter how good the medicine is, it will only be digested by the body. At most, it can consolidate the part of the body that carries the spirit and soul, but it can't play any role in the illusory spirit and soul itself.

In fact, even nourishing the meridians is the same. The combination of medicine and drugs is the best way... I learn these mainly to understand the rejuvenation secret, not specifically to find medicine. When the rejuvenation secret is studied to a certain level, no medicine is as awesome as this. After all, this is the law.

As he was pondering, his ear suddenly hurt.

Zhao Changhe bared his teeth and turned his head. Tang Wanzhuang pulled his ear expressionlessly beside him: "Are you listening? What did I say just now? Repeat it?" Zhao Changhe said: "Those who walk alone do not need help; those who need each other are of the same kind and cannot be separated; those who use each other are my assistants; those who fear each other are controlled by the other; those who kill each other are poisoned by the other; those who hate each other deprive me of my ability; those who are opposite to each other are incompatible. All these seven emotions, when viewed together, should be used those that need and use each other, and those that hate and are opposite to each other should not be used. If there is a poisonous control, then those who fear and kill each other can be used, otherwise it is not suitable."

Tang Wanzhuang widened her eyes in surprise. She could clearly see that this guy was distracted. He didn't react when she waved her hand in front of him just now. How could he actually repeat what she just said...

Zhao Changhe also found that he had become quite good at multitasking. This was probably the result of his spirit becoming stronger after the secret treasure was hidden... I don't know how many CPU cores the blind man had, and how many things he was observing and processing at the same time.

He didn't say this, and his face remained expressionless: "I think you are just looking for an excuse to pull my ears."

"That..." Tang Wanzhuang stiffened her neck and said, "Master can't pull your ears?"

Having said that, he finally let go embarrassedly.

Zhao Changhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Continue teaching, I have some feeling..."

"What does it feel like?"

"Learning these things is really helpful for me to master the Rejuvenation Technique. I didn't know anything about medicine before, so how could I be rejuvenated? Even if I could heal some injuries, I didn't know why... After listening to you talk about these medical principles, I feel that I do understand a little bit. I feel that the Rejuvenation Technique will really make a leap forward."

Tang Wanzhuang's face turned a little red.

He improved the Rejuvenation Technique, and how did he use it

She didn't mention this, and gently pushed the other book in her hand over: "Look at the examples in this book. For example, mutual reliance is when two medicines work together, such as angelica and white peony root... mutual fear is when one medicine is used to suppress the strong effect of the main medicine, making the effect gentle and usable, such as..."

In the pavilion, a man and a woman sat very close to each other, reading a book at the table. The woman pointed at the words in the book with her slender finger and whispered instructions, while the man followed the instructions and looked into his memory. Before they knew it, their heads were almost touching each other.

He no longer held the zither, but just hugged his shoulders and watched coldly.

You said you were master and apprentice... Even when the young lady taught me music scores, we weren't so close.

It was getting dark and the words on the book were difficult to see clearly.

Tang Wanzhuang seemed to wake up and suddenly shouted: "Hold the qin, hold the qin~"

Baoqin responded: "Yes."

"Go to the house and light the lamp. Young Master Zhao and I will read at night... Well, we have to hurry up, that's it."

"Okay, okay, I know that's the case." Bao Qinsheng walked into the house with despair. After a while, the lights in the house came on.

As a result, the lights were lit, but Tang Wanzhuang changed her mind.

Seeing the ambiguous lighting, I remembered that it was really inappropriate for two people to hide in the house.

She turned her head away and pretended to be indifferent: "Forget it, I'm tired, come back tomorrow."

Zhao Changhe looked at her arrogant appearance and his throat moved involuntarily.

Although he had just been treated at noon, theoretically he didn't need to be treated again today, he still deliberately said, "Well, should I treat it before going to bed so that I can rest... I'll also try to see if the rejuvenation formula really makes any progress."

Tang Wanzhuang turned her head away and said nothing, but she did not refuse.

Anyway, this is not the first or second time. If you want to try the rejuvenation technique, then try it quickly...

Zhao Changhe plucked up his courage, put his arm around her shoulders, bent down and kissed her.

Feeling her shoulders were stiff, Zhao Changhe was a little nervous and didn't dare to be frivolous. He was actually testing some of his ideas about the Rejuvenation Technique just now.

As a result, Tang Wanzhuang kept looking at him with her eyes open while being kissed, which made Zhao Changhe confused.

What's wrong? I have indeed made some progress in this rejuvenation technique... You don't think that you can make great progress just by learning a little medical knowledge, do you? I am using an auxiliary plug-in, not a one-hit-nine-nine-killer.

Really, actually this was just an excuse. What kind of rejuvenation technique is this? I just want to kiss you.

He made up his mind and stuck out his tongue without caring about anything else.

Tang Wanzhuang closed her eyes with satisfaction.
