Chapter 55 Medicine Stone

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Facing the angry Qiu Zhen, Tantai Leshan smiled slightly and said calmly: "The Treatise on the Causes and Symptoms of Diseases Volume 1 Malaria Princes says: Summer brings heat, and autumn will cause malaria..."

"The onset of malaria is due to the right time. This is the evil guest that comes to the house of wind and travels down the body."

Qiu Jing said impatiently: "I am more familiar with medical books than you are."

Taitan Leshan smiled and said: "Since Brother Qiu is familiar with medical skills, he should know that both the "Huangdi Neijing·Suwen" and "Treatise on the Causes and Symptoms of Diseases" attribute malaria to evil winds entering the body..."

"Stop teasing me."

Qiu Zhen frowned and said, "I have seen more malaria patients than you have eaten rice.

Do you think I am a stubborn and conservative person? Do you think what the medical books say is absolutely correct?

I also know the purpose of the academy,

Authority and truth are used to question and verify,

If we could really find the connection between malaria and mosquitoes, as the student next door said,

I am definitely the first one to jump out and support killing mosquitoes.

I will never turn a blind eye to the evidence and let malaria ghosts harm the people in order to protect previously written medical books."

"Brother Qiu respects the truth and cares about people's lives. Of course I know this."

Tantai Leshan smiled and said: "I also know that Brother Qiu, you are afraid of me. In order to get quick success before the malaria breaks out in Chang'an in the autumn,

Take the initiative to find people, such as the death row inmates in Dali Temple who have solid evidence and are guilty of unpardonable crimes, and let them be bitten by mosquitoes, and then observe the relationship between malaria and mosquitoes."

Qiu Zhen frowned and remained silent.

Tantai Leshan is one of the four ministers who assist the mountain chief in managing the academy. His position within the academy is second only to the mountain chief and he has great power. As long as he opens his mouth, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment may really agree.

"Brother Qiu, caring will lead to chaos."

Tantai Leshan sighed and said calmly: "You will get malaria in autumn, you will get malaria in autumn.

Every household, from the royal family to the common people, has no relatives or friends who have died of malaria.

Medical books say that malaria is caused by evil wind entering the body, but what exactly is evil wind?

How to prevent evil wind?

How do you know if prevention is effective?

When will there be a real and reliable method to treat malaria?

Instead of relying on the messy prescriptions in medical books,

For example, in "Secrets of Waitai", eating Huanglong soup will cause yellowing in people, pounding mice into juice and swallowing them, and eating macaque bones to treat warm malaria...

The doctor adds hundreds of poisons and smokes and infuses it without any downtime.

The moxibustionist uses moxibustion sticks, as cool as a hunting fire.

The cursed master has a poisonous mouth and teeth, and his tongue is like a thunderbolt.

The talisman master wields a knife and a pen, and the ink and elixirs are swung horizontally.

Malaria is a scourge, nine out of ten houses are empty, bones are exposed in the wild, and there are no roosters crowing for thousands of miles.

Thirty years ago, autumn malaria broke out in Wuzhou. I, the Tantai family, was considered a wealthy family in Wuzhou. I lived in a high-rise building and had no contact with outsiders, but I could not escape the malaria ghost's poison.

Great-grandfather, great-grandmother, uncle, aunt, cousin, cousin...

Autumn has not yet passed, and the hall is filled with coffins, and I have no strength to even cry."

Qiu Wen's lips trembled slightly. As a medical officer in the Imperial Medical Office, he didn't know the horror of malaria. He suppressed his voice and shouted: "You can't use your life to fill in the hole and explore it.

I would not do it to kill one person to save ten thousand people!"

"So, Brother Qiu, if you care, it will lead to chaos."

Tantai Leshan sighed: "Although I, Tantai Leshan, am not talented, I have never thought about actually taking human lives to fill this hole."

"Then you don't mean to..."

Qiu Jing hesitated and said, "Why don't you feed yourself to mosquitoes?"

"I'd rather do it, as long as the mosquito bites won't penetrate my skin."

Tantai Leshan smiled bitterly and said seriously: "Alienated object.

There is an alienated substance in Dongjun Tower that can be used for testing experiments."

Dongjun Tower.

Qiu Jing's eyelids jumped. Dongjun was not referring to the sun god Dongjun in Qu Yuan's "Nine Songs", but a pavilion in the northeast of the academy.

It contains, or rather houses, a large number of alienated objects collected by the Academy from all over the world.

Qiu Zhen was not a member of the academy, so he had no right to ask what type or type of alienated object it was, so he could only breathe a sigh of relief and said seriously: "As long as it doesn't cost anyone's life.

You must be careful and careful.

Although monks rarely get sick, once they do get sick, it is difficult to cure them with ordinary medicine and stone."

"I see."

Tantai Leshan nodded equally seriously and suddenly smiled, "However, if we can really find out the connection between malaria and mosquitoes, it will definitely be a great merit.

correct,"

He turned to look at the servant standing in the corner of the room and ordered: "Go and find out the name of the student just now and where he lives."

"yes,"

The servant nodded, "Will Mr. Lang invite him over?"

"No need for now, after all, it's just an unconfirmed conjecture.

There are too many conjectures and assumptions made by the Academy every year, and we cannot go to war every time."

Tantai Leshan said: "When we find out clearly and confirm that killing mosquitoes can indeed help prevent and treat malaria,

It won’t be too late for me to ask Your Majesty and the mountain chief for credit.

When the time comes, please also ask Brother Qiu to be a witness."

After saying that, he picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all in one gulp. He cupped his hands towards Qiu Wen and said, "Brother Qiu, let me take the first step.

The alienated object in Dongjun Tower needs to be applied for before it can be used."

"Um."

Qiu Zhen knew his friend's resolute nature, so he was not angry at his sudden departure. He watched Tantai Leshan roll up the map of Chang'an on the table, push the door open and leave with his servants.

"well."

Qiu Zhen slowly sat back, turned the wine glass on the table, and murmured to himself: "Cure malaria, prevent malaria...

Is it really possible..."

After pondering for a long time, he suddenly thought of something.

Southern accent, young age, strange medical skills,

Why does it sound more and more like the student from Zhenzhou that my niece mentioned at yesterday's family dinner?

Qiu Zhen slapped his head, stood up, pushed the door open, and went to the next door. He saw only a restaurant waiter in the box next door clearing away the banquet dishes.

Qiu Zhen asked hurriedly: "Xiao Er, where are the students who were dining in this box just now?"

The waiter at the restaurant didn't know why and said: "They have left."

Qiu Jing asked anxiously: "Leaved? In which direction?"

The waiter answered honestly: "Well... I don't know where to go."

Alas, I came a step late and missed it.

Qiu Zhen slapped his thigh, sighed heavily, shook his head and went downstairs to pay.

As soon as they left the restaurant, the sound of horse hooves came from far and near, and a luxury carriage came galloping. Pedestrians along the way gave way - only high-ranking officials and dignitaries dared to gallop like this in Chang'an City.

squeak--

The carriage suddenly stopped in front of Qiu Zhen, and a steward in rich clothes jumped out of the car with sweat on his forehead. Without any explanation, he grabbed Qiu Zhen's hands and said urgently: "Medical Officer Qiu, the Duke of Yan is suffering from fever."

, please hurry up and follow me to your house!"
