Chapter 738 Entering the Temple of Traditional Chinese Medicine
After a long time, Lu Dan said: "No, the poem said that the Jiang family has not mentioned iron coupons for several generations."
"Both the old man and Jiang Tianrui said they have never seen it."
"Master Lu, don't forget, that little beast has been inherited and has become the heavenly eye of ancestor Bian Que!"
Wang Yingsi said.
"That is documented, and both Zhiwen and Yingying have seen with their own eyes his ability to identify rough stones."
Wang Yifan and Lu Dan both frowned, their eyebrows furrowed into a Sichuan shape.
Indeed, the Sky Eye has the ability to see through. Who can guarantee that Qin Fan will not find it.
In fact, the iron coupons mentioned by Lu Dan were also called blood oath iron coupons in the notes left by their ancestors.
Bian Que Hall of the Jiang family is known as the temple of traditional Chinese medicine.
It not only collects medical classics from ancient times to the present, but also contains blood oaths and iron certificates spoken by Lu Dan, Wang Yingsi, and Wang Yifan.
Hundreds of years ago, the Xiao, Wang, and Lu families encountered great disasters and were secretly protected by the Jiang family. Later, with the help of the Jiang family, they started their own business again.
The ancestors of the three families were grateful and jointly engraved the iron certificate. Only the Jiang family followed suit and swore a blood oath.
This is the origin of the Blood Oath Iron Coupon.
This is why among the four major medical families handed down from generation to generation, the Jiang family has a long history of thousands of years, while the other three families only have a history of hundreds of years.
In fact, the ancestors of the Jiang family did not take this iron oath of blood seriously, and indeed they did not see the iron certificate for several generations.
The Jiang family even disdains the use of blood oaths and iron bonds to bind the three families.
But people's hearts are not ancient, and the descendants of the Xiao, Wang, and Lu families don't think so.
They have long forgotten the protection and kindness their ancestors received from the Jiang family. Instead, they have a blood oath to the Jiang family, which feels like a gleam on their backs and a sword hanging on their necks.
And the only people who can enter Bian Que Hall are the hall masters of each generation.
Therefore, Jiang Shiwen promised the three families that if Lu Zhiwen took over, he would try his best to find the blood oath and iron coupons and return them to the three families.
This is also an important factor why the three families spare no effort to support Lu Zhiwen.
In the Jiang family's old house, the family gathered together to have dinner.
Jiang Tianrui said: "Fan'er, come with me."
The father and son came to the Jiang family's backyard. The rooms here were similar to the front yard.
In addition to the spiritual tablets dedicated to the ancestors of past generations, there are still many rooms.
Jiang Tianrui opened the door of a room.
This is a study room. Against the wall are wood-grained bookshelves, which are neatly filled with various medical books.
There are also several diagrams of human meridians hanging on the wall.
In the middle of the room is a large desk with all four treasures in the study room.
Qin Fan looked over one after another. The books on the bookshelf were rich and colorful, ranging from ancient times to the present, including domestic and foreign books.
It includes Chinese medicine and Western medicine, as well as Miao medicine, Tibetan medicine, Mongolian medicine, etc. It is simply a rich library.
"Dad, is this our family's collection of books?"
Qin Fan asked.
Jiang Tianrui smiled slightly.
"Fan'er, let me borrow your ring."
Qin Fan handed the amber wood ring to Jiang Tianrui suspiciously.
Jiang Tianrui walked to a bookcase and removed a heavy medical book. Qin Fan found a small groove underneath.
"Fan'er, this ring is the key to controlling Bian Que Hall. You must remember three on the left and five on the right."
He inserted the ring into the groove, and Qin Fan clearly heard a soft click.
Then, Jiang Tianrui moved the third book on the left and the fifth book on the right.
Immediately there was a slight mechanical sound, and the bookcase next to it slowly moved to one side, revealing a wooden door hidden behind it.
Qin Fan immediately laughed to himself.
If Bian Que Hall is just a collection of books seen from the outside, then it really underestimates the thousands of years of inheritance.
Although the outside world is just an appearance, the collection of books is also very rich and precious, but the real world is here.
Jiang Tianrui smiled at his son Qin Fan.
The two father and son walked into the dark room one after another.
Under the bright light, this is a room of about thirty square meters.
"Fan'er, this is the Bian Que Hall that our ancestors have guarded for generations. Only the hall masters of the past generations can enter."
Qin Fan looked at it.
Against the wall are rows of antique bookcases filled with various books and scrolls.
There are calligraphy and paintings by famous artists on the wall, as well as a Buddhist picture.
The names of people are marked on these bookcases, such as the ancestor Bian Que, Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, Huangfu Mi, Ye Gui, Sun Simiao, Xue Shengbai, Song Ci, Li Shizhen, Ge Hong, etc.
The books under the corresponding names are his life works and biography.
Qin Fan also discovered that there were translations of the same book from different dynasties.
After a cursory browsing, the collected works include "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classics", "Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases", "Synopsis of the Golden Chamber", "Qianjin Prescriptions", "Mai Jing", "Acupuncture Jia B Jing", "
"Compendium of Materia Medica", "Emergency Prescriptions", etc.
There are also "Treatise on the Causes and Symptoms of Diseases", "Newly Revised Materia Medica", "Secret Essentials of Waitai", "Four Medical Classics", "Taiping Shenghui Prescriptions", "Tongren Acupoint Acupuncture Illustrated Book", and "Collected Records of Cleansing Wrongdoes"
, "Compendium of Materia Medica" and so on.
In Bian Que's place, Qin Fan discovered that the only thing missing was the "Bian Que Nei Jing".
That book disappeared with Qin Fan that year.
In fact, all the content has been absorbed by Qin Fan and turned into a blank page.
Qin Fan smiled and touched it, "Dad, I'll take the time to make up for this."
Jiang Tianrui nodded, "Fan'er, here are the medical treasures that our ancestors of the Jiang family have spent countless efforts and financial resources to collect from everywhere."
"There are works by our ancestor Bian Que and other sages, medical records, translations from different eras, etc. He is like the vast starry sky, of which we have only glimpsed a corner."
To be honest, I might not have felt anything without coming here, but when Qin Fan stood in front of these medical classics, he realized that he had learned too little.
No wonder this place is compared to the temple of Chinese medicine.
The medical books on any bookcase cannot be measured by money. This is the cultural heritage of the Jiang family.
"Fan'er, you can usually read and study outside, but you must remember to put it back where it belongs."
"Yes, I remember."
Qin Fan said.
He was completely shocked by these precious medical books. He only had a rough understanding of them and was already overwhelmed by them.
Jiang Tianrui smiled slightly, the same way he did when he first came in.
He didn't say anything and quietly left the darkroom.
"Hey, what is this?"
Qin Fan said to himself.
On one side of these large bookcases, there is a small bookcase, which contains bamboo slips, scrolls, and paper notebooks used by modern people.
He opened a scroll at random, and there were neat small characters on it.
It turned out to be a note left by the 69th generation ancestor of the Jiang family, recording which books were collected in this generation and what major events happened in the family.
Qin Fan opened a few more bamboo slips and scrolls to take a closer look, and found that the writing on the bamboo slips was even older, including small seal script and small regular script, all left by ancestors of past dynasties.
He suddenly understood that these notes left by the ancestors of the past generations were equivalent to the development history of the family.
Qin Fan simply sat down and read slowly. From his ancestor's notes, he could gain a more comprehensive understanding of the family's development.
Some of these texts are very detailed, some are very simple, and the amount of information fed back is also different.
He read on in turn.
The development of the Jiang family has not been smooth sailing, and there have been countless failures in the process.
This kind of crisis was mainly due to the fact that during the years of war and chaos, the ancestors of the Jiang family could only remain anonymous.
Probably starting from the 115th generation of ancestors, the content became more numerous. From that time on, the Jiang family settled in the capital.
