Doctor Cai was hesitant and hesitant, glancing at Song You from time to time, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say it, because he had worries in his heart.
After weighing it in his mind for a long time, he gritted his teeth, looked at each other with his two apprentices, and made up his mind.
"This nine-day epidemic is quite strange. As the teacher said, the sick people die in extremely painful ways. From head to toe, from the inside to the outside, there is no good place. They are like ghosts when they are still alive. If you want to cure it,
I'm afraid we need to use various methods of internal and external application, combined with acupuncture and fumigation." Doctor Cai said as he walked, "The old man and his two disciples have been studying all day and night, and they have tried their best, but they can't let go. Now.
Although the method has a certain therapeutic effect, it is not perfect. Some people with mild symptoms or in good health are more lucky and can recover temporarily, but nine out of ten cases still cannot be cured."
Song You paid attention to the key points of the words, and also noticed the eyes of Doctor Cai looking at him after he finished speaking, so he asked at the right time:
"I wonder what the miracle doctor has to worry about?"
"It is not tolerated by secular etiquette."
"Song is a mountain man. He walks down the mountain and follows the secular etiquette, but he is not restricted by it." Song You dismissed his concerns, "The miracle doctor just said it."
"What if it's hard for you to accept it, sir?"
"I've never heard of bento."
"well……"
Doctor Cai let out a long sigh and shook his head.
Song You walked beside him, listening attentively, trying to understand the elegance of this miracle doctor.
"This nine-day epidemic is so urgent that we don't have much time to study it carefully. It hurts both internally and externally. If we don't know the true symptoms, how can we prescribe the right medicine?" Doctor Cai said slowly, "Sir, do you know when I became aware of this epidemic?
Have you come up with countermeasures for internal and external symptoms?"
"Of course I don't know."
"It was after the two heroes Yanzhou who volunteered to escort the old man fell ill and died one after another..."
Doctor Cai couldn't help but look at Song You and his group as he spoke.
The swordsman frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something, but had no other expression, while the young Taoist raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly, his face remaining as usual.
"I see……"
The young Taoist nodded and said.
We have long heard that this miracle doctor has cutting-off flesh and bone-setting, craniotomy and other shocking treatment methods. Now it seems that it is indeed true.
It is truly a medical skill that transcends this world.
This kind of thing is really shocking these days.
If you want to dissect the body and analyze the disease, it will be even more extraordinary.
People believe that the dead have spirits, and there has always been the traditional concept that the deceased is the most important. The corpse is sacred. Some tombs are also related to the feng shui of the tribe. The crimes of digging graves, opening coffins, and taking corpses are becoming more and more serious. Several dynasties have cracked down on coffin theft.
The corpses are all capital crimes, which is a heinous crime and intentional murder. According to Song You's knowledge, Dayan seems to have been a grave digger for three years. Once the coffin is opened, he will be hanged.
Not to mention ordinary people, even the government, sometimes encounters major cases. As long as the deceased has been buried, it is very difficult to open the coffin and conduct a second autopsy.
One is secular etiquette, and the other is court law.
Although the north is in troubled times now, and countless people have died in the county, it is still a plague, not a military disaster. During the Song Dynasty, I only saw human bones at the foot of Beifeng Pass, and there were no corpses everywhere.
On the contrary, at this time, people must be buried as soon as possible after death.
Even poor families who could not afford to buy coffins and bury them in the ground now have government funds to help bury them, but it is harder to see the bodies than before.
The only way to remove the body is to open the coffin.
Even a world-renowned miracle doctor would not dare to do this kind of thing blatantly.
"It turns out that what the miracle doctor wants is the body of the deceased."
"..."
Doctor Cai did not answer for a moment.
Song You caught the gaze of Divine Doctor Cai and probably knew his concerns.
Whether there is knowledge under the spring of the deceased, or it is related to the feng shui of the descendants in the world, these are all metaphysical statements. As a Taoist, wearing Taoist robes, I should believe these the most.
So Song You smiled at Doctor Cai to make him feel more relaxed, and then said: "What the miracle doctor did was not evil, so why worry? In extraordinary times, extraordinary things were done, not to mention that the miracle doctor neither dug a grave nor opened a coffin, nor did he take it without permission.
Corpse, those two heroes are probably willing, right?"
"Exactly."
"The two of them should have their names."
"Both of them are disciples of the Northern Changqian Sect, one is named Miao Yuan and the other is named Hu Yuan." Doctor Cai sighed, "Thanks to them."
Song You looked at Doctor Cai's expression.
The fact that he came up with a countermeasure so quickly was probably not only the result of these two corpses. It was very possible that these two people were helping him steal the corpses before he was alive, but he didn't want to say it.
Song You didn't need to ask any more questions and just said: "We will do the rest for you. The miracle doctor can just study the disease. Apart from that, I will take care of everything else."
"Sir, you want to..."
"It's just corpses, very simple." Song You said to them calmly, "There are countless dead people in Gui County, and there are also many ghosts. The miracle doctor may not have seen them along the way, but I am a Taoist, and I have seen them along the way.
Many of them have arrived. I also know how to make dummies of plants and trees. As long as they agree, I can retrieve the corpses and then bury them with dummies, which also preserves the feng shui."
"They might be willing?"
"There's always someone willing."
Song You is quite confident.
In fact, sometimes I don't care about this kind of thing. The person who least wants to see the body destroyed is the family of the deceased. But the deceased is already dead and cannot speak. How dare the living people be willing to do such a thing for the deceased?
Decide.
Furthermore, if you have dealt with ghosts for a long time, you will know that many of people's concerns and worries about death actually come from the unknown. Once you really become a ghost, most of your worries and worries disappear.
"Please rest assured, miracle doctor. You and I have done our due diligence and have a clear conscience. If there are other causal crimes, they will be borne by the next person." The Taoist's words were as calm and confident as before, "I just ask the miracle doctor to study and treat with peace of mind.
If we can save the people who have returned to the county with this disease strategy, it will be of great merit."
"..."
Only then did Divine Doctor Cai realize that what this young gentleman said was true, and he felt even more sincere in his heart. He quickly bowed and saluted: "Then I'll welcome you, Mr. Lao!"
"Easy to do."
Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses.
No one can do everything.
Song You was a Taoist, not a doctor. He happened to be good at these things but not good at solving epidemics, so he did what he was good at.
So he followed the miracle doctor and continued walking back to the county.
At dusk and night, in front of the village and behind the houses, it is difficult to distinguish between humans and ghosts. There are often new ghosts standing in front of the graves in a trance. I don’t know whether they are missing their old friends or recalling their lives, whether they are reluctant to abandon the world or in the underworld. But at this time, they
In fact, they have left this world, and mortals can no longer see their figures or hear their voices. Even if they do not dissipate in the next few days, if they remain, they will only be lonely and lonely.
I often see a Taoist talking to ghosts.
At this time, for these new ghosts, he is the only person who can talk to them.
Some people agree, some hesitate.
If anyone hesitates even a little bit, the Taoist will give up.
However, as he had thought before, in the face of this kind of thing, the most free and easy person is himself. Or maybe the villagers are simple and die due to the epidemic. They know how painful the disease is and how painful the illness is, but they die in the dark, but they are also among the Taoists.
When asked, I am willing to do my best to add another ray of light to the fire-breathing miracle doctor.
So the mountain gods dug graves and turned the grass and trees into corpses.
The lantern lit by Sanhua Empress was hung on the branches in the wild all night. The miracle doctor and his disciples often stayed up all night under the lantern. The Taoist waved his hand to blow away the north wind at night and watched from a distance without disturbing. The swordsman had no choice but to hold his sword.
Sitting far away, lighting a fire, watching the stars all night, not knowing what to think.
There are Taoists who protect the Dharma. Sometimes they are right next to the tomb. People walk by but they cannot be found.
Sometimes ghosts are attracted, and the ghosts are asked personally about their feelings during the illness.
Beasts are not frightened, evil spirits are not disturbing.
During the day, I walked around the villages and cities.
Taoists still turned spiritual power into rainwater and blended it into wells and springs, which not only dispelled evil spells from patients, but also added some vitality to those who were not sick, and curbed the spread of the plague. Miracle doctors united with officials from various places to test their lifelong medical research
The new method developed by combining the two has great effect.
Song You saw the grace of this miracle doctor all the way.
The miracle doctor is indeed a miracle doctor. Not only is he familiar with the meridians and bones of the human body, and is knowledgeable about medical theory and pathology, but he also has the ability to communicate with the gods.
Song You had seen him just look at a person and be able to tell whether the person was infected but not having an illness even though there was no sign of illness. He had also seen him know how many diseases the person had and what kind of diseases they had by just looking at someone.
Treatment is needed. Sometimes you can even tell by just looking at a person's face that life has been rough, and by looking at a person's pulse, you can determine how many years that person can live without disaster.
He doesn't know anything about herbs, insects, or anything else in the world.
I heard from my disciples that sometimes God heals people without using medicine. He only needs to slap them, or ask them to do something, or say a few words, to make them better.
As for the legendary elixir of immortality, the elixir of youth, and even the elixir of immortality and the ability to change men and women after taking it, their master actually knew about it. But whenever they mentioned these, Divine Doctor Cai would come over and reprimand them for talking about it.
He made big claims regardless of the facts, and told Song You that they were all rumors spread by the world.
Such a miraculous doctor, with the help of Taoists, can freely study it, and has already studied it quite a lot, so the method of treating diseases will naturally be perfected quickly.
Song You has to do more things.
If you encounter a demon causing trouble while walking, you have to investigate and get rid of it easily.
I heard that many villages have little interaction with the outside world, and after the epidemic, they are even more isolated from the world. However, occasionally there is still a plague, but it appears out of nowhere.
You also have to search patiently.
Walking like this is much slower than walking before.
Song You remained patient.
Calico cats are even more indifferent.
Winter is getting deeper and deeper, and the chill is getting heavier.
There is really no need to go into details about what I witnessed, the suffering in various places, and the actions of Taoists and miraculous doctors.
Before I knew it, it was the twelfth lunar month.
It’s snowing in Hezhou, at least it’s snowing in Guijun.
It was already a cold wind and white snow in the wild. Doctor Cai was wrapped in thick clothes and sitting on the back of the swordsman's black horse. The two apprentices followed Song You and the swordsman as they walked forward slowly, leaving footprints every step of the way.
The Taoist was covered in wind and snow, and he said as he walked: "Congratulations to the miracle doctor, the treatment has just been completed. When we arrive in Lingze County, after confirmation, we can report it to the government and promote it throughout the county."
"I hope it can happen this time."
The miracle doctor sat on the horse and replied like this.
I can't tell whether it's hair or snow on my head.
