Chapter 1: Finally returned to Blue Star, but a little confused
I have a splitting headache, I feel weak all over, my eyelids are heavy, and some strange memories keep flashing in my mind.
Duan Xuan opened his eyes slowly. He saw the mottled and peeling walls, the steel pipe single bed painted with white paint and some peeling paint. There was an infusion bottle connected to the light cream yellow and somewhat transparent rubber tube, and the body was covered with a slightly yellow cover.
Stained white quilt.
He is not dead! It seems that the system of that strange jade token saved him again. I don’t know where he is this time!
The reason why I am so sure is because Duan Xuan has already experienced it once.
Duan Xuan was originally born in Blue Star in the 1990s, but was abandoned when he was an infant.
When his life was on the verge of death, he was fortunately discovered by an old Chinese medicine practitioner who was passing by, and he survived.
This old Chinese medicine doctor was childless and lonely. Because he saved the infant Duan Xuan, he felt that this child was destined for him, so he adopted Duan Xuan and named the baby after his own surname - Duan.
Xuan.
An old Chinese doctor named Duan is already 80 years old.
Born in the first year of the Republic of China, his family owned a restaurant and drugstore in a county town, so he had little assets.
Mr. Duan has been smart and studious since he was a child, and has read poetry and books.
Just because he witnessed the warlords' melee for years, after completing his studies, he completely gave up other thoughts, returned home to inherit the family property, and helped the family manage the restaurant and pharmacy.
Later, I got married to my childhood sweetheart, and within a few years they had a son and a daughter.
The originally happy and happy family was completely shattered after the RB invasion!
Almost all the wealthy households in the entire county were looted and slaughtered by the Japanese invaders, and the Duan family was not spared.
The old Chinese medicine doctor was inspecting medicinal materials at a farm outside the city, but he could not escape.
The farm was massacred by a small group of Japanese invaders. Fortunately, a passing Taoist priest witnessed this evil act and took action in anger, quickly killing the small group of Japanese invaders.
The Taoist priest found the only survivor among the dead, a young and old Chinese medicine doctor who had only one breath left.
The young old man Duan's family was destroyed overnight, including his parents, wives and children, and he was the only one out of a family of more than 40 people.
Although he has read a lot of poems and books, he has no power to tie a chicken, and he is powerless in the face of the enemy.
At this time, the young old man Duan truly realized what it means to be a scholar who is useless.
So Old Man Duan, who swore revenge, became the master of the old Taoist priest.
The old Taoist master was proficient in medicine and martial arts. He guarded an unknown Taoist temple on the mountain alone. Out of sympathy, he accepted this apprentice.
I never thought that although the young old man Duan was already in his 20s and missed the best time to practice martial arts, maybe it was because he had really good qualifications and picked up quickly.
The old Taoist was overjoyed and regarded the young old man Duan as his heir, so he spared no expense and used various precious medicinal materials for him to take internally and externally to help him rebuild his foundation. He also taught him all the medical and martial arts skills and passed them on to him.
An unknown breathing technique.
Five years later, after achieving some success, the young old man Duan went down the mountain to take revenge impatiently, regardless of the persuasion of his Taoist mentor.
He traveled hundreds of miles and found the brigade that had massacred the county town, so he began to use all possible means, using various poisoning methods in an endless stream, and killed the brigade from top to bottom.
By the way, the regiment where this brigade was located also suffered disaster. In half a year, less than 800 of the 3,500-man field regiment were killed by Old Man Duan, who harbored a blood feud.
No one knows who did all this, but it has left a legend.
Old Man Duan finished his revenge and returned to the Taoist Master with all his injuries.
From then on, he never married again, and followed the old Taoist priest to practice martial arts and practice medicine diligently, visit famous masters, and communicate with each other.
After the old Taoist priest passed away, Mr. Duan was alone and still lived a life of practicing martial arts and medicine.
After liberation, Old Man Duan returned home and opened a traditional Chinese medicine clinic in a town. He never thought about marrying again and having children, and he never thought about taking on an apprentice.
This time I picked up an infant baby. Maybe it was fate, and I started to cultivate Duan Xuan carefully from an early age.
At the age of three, I started to learn the Chinese surnames and the Thousand-Character Classic. Of course, taking medicinal baths to strengthen my muscles and bones is indispensable.
At the age of five, I began to memorize the Huangdi Neijing, memorize various meridians and acupoints of the human body, and officially began to learn the unknown breathing and breathing method.
According to Duan Xuan later, he lived a life of dire straits from then on.
Not only do you have to practice martial arts and medicine every day, you also have to learn how to make wine and cook.
Because according to old man Duan, I am already so old, and you can’t bear to watch me cook. How long can I enjoy it? You can’t let me enjoy the food anymore!
Old Man Duan is a very traditional person. He taught Duan Xuan the medical skills of traditional Chinese medicine. In addition to pulse diagnosis and dispensing medicine, acupuncture, massage, etc., he also taught him how to identify medicinal materials, judge their medicinal properties, and how to prepare medicinal materials!
According to Mr. Duan, the original Chinese medicine practitioners started as apprentices and first learned to identify medicinal materials. After a few years, they learned how to prepare medicinal materials. In the process, they gradually became familiar with the properties of medicinal materials.
This process alone takes five or six years for those who learn quickly, and it is not uncommon for those who learn slowly to take more than ten years.
Then start learning how to diagnose your pulse and how to dispense medicine!
It would take at least five or six years just to follow the master and write prescriptions for patients, and then under the protection of the master, he could start to diagnose the patient's pulse and prescribe prescriptions.
The so-called traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in today’s society don’t even know how to prepare medicinal materials. How can they understand the properties of medicine?
If you don’t understand the properties of the medicine, how can you prepare the medicine correctly? How can you possibly treat the patient’s disease?
Most of today's medicinal materials are cultivated artificially. Due to the drastic changes in the industrial pollution environment, the medicinal properties of many medicinal materials are very different from those in the past. Therefore, we cannot stick to the rules and know how to adapt.
Although Old Man Duan still let Duan Xuan enter the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the old man scorned the so-called Chinese medicine practitioners who graduated from universities, thinking that they only learned a few years of book knowledge and only knew some theories, which cannot be called Chinese medicine at all.
He repeatedly warned Duan Xuan that the reason why he was allowed to go to the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine was just to get a diploma so that he could be eligible to take the medical license exam.
The old man also criticized this policy, thinking that it was using Western medicine methods to demand Chinese medicine.
Western medicine is a subject that pays attention to data, while traditional Chinese medicine is an empirical subject. Using Western medicine to require Chinese medicine will completely destroy Chinese medicine.
Before going to college, the old man repeatedly warned Duan Xuan that he should not lose Yuanyang before he became famous in the nameless breathing technique. This made Duan Xuan very depressed.
The old man told him that a Chinese medicine practitioner who has not developed the sense of Qi cannot become a master in Chinese medicine, especially acupuncture.
Duan Xuan has been practicing for so many years, but he has never developed any so-called Qi sense, so he once asked old man Duan very depressedly, what is the use of this Qi sense, can it be used to develop internal strength?
Old Man Duan told him contemptuously: "This is in real society, not a martial arts novel. What are you dreaming about?
When you really develop the sense of Qi, you will realize how big the difference is in pulse diagnosis and acupuncture, and that’s it!”
Duan Xuan successfully completed his university studies and rejected his tutor's idea of recommending him to study for a master's degree and a Ph.D. at the same time. With the regret of his tutor, he returned to the medical clinic in Mr. Duan's small town.
Although traditional Chinese medicine is in decline these days, it has been suppressed by Western pharmaceutical groups with the help of domestic elites, causing more and more young people to not believe in traditional Chinese medicine.
But only some high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen truly understand the value of traditional Chinese medicine.
Mr. Duan is famous for his superb medical skills, and the medical clinic is never short of wealthy businessmen and noble people.
Although the medicines charged to ordinary people are very cheap or even free, they can still live a good life.
Duan Xuan has been taught by the old man since he was a child. Although he is better than his master, he is definitely a master of traditional Chinese medicine.
Duan Xuan has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, so he is full of masculinity. Coupled with his height of 1.85 meters, he has an upper-middle-class appearance. He is not more or less a handsome boy. When he was in college, he once talked with someone who was still handsome.
A pretty girlfriend.
But when he was about to graduate, he learned that Duan Xuan wanted to engage in traditional Chinese medicine and was unwilling to become a medical representative who might make more money, so the two began to have frequent disputes.
Until one day, Duan Xuan watched his girlfriend get into a luxury car and drive away, and the relationship ended without any problems!
Duan Xuan was forced by his old man to read various medical and Taoist books since he was a child. Over time, he gradually developed a temperament that prefers silence to movement.
The old man trained me to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and my attainments are not low.
According to Duan Xuan, because the old man was so delicious and lazy in cooking, he was forced to develop good cooking skills!
I ran the medical clinic with the old man, and occasionally went out for medical consultations. Without thinking about getting rich, my life was quite prosperous.
What's more, the small town has green mountains and green waters and is not affected by industrial pollution. Duan Xuan is quite satisfied with this kind of life. He is completely different from contemporary young people. Instead, he looks like an ancient scholar who loves green mountains and green waters.<
/p>
In my spare time, I often watch dramas and watch short videos, which is similar to that of modern young people.
Until Duan Xuan was 28 years old, he had not found a girlfriend, but the 112-year-old Mr. Duan passed away.
Before he died, he gave Duan Xuan a jade plaque that looked like wood but not wood, not jade but not jade, and told Duan Xuan that it was passed down to him by his master, the old Taoist priest.
Even Old Man Duan’s master doesn’t know the specific use of it. He only knows that it has been passed down from generation to generation.
The death of old man Duan was a great blow to Duan Xuan.
In the past, he often disliked the old man for squeezing his labor, but when the old man really passed away, Duan Xuan deeply realized the true meaning of the saying "When your parents are alive, you know where you came from; when your parents are dead, you know where you are going." Duan Xuan buried the old man's ashes on the mountain and kowtowed several times in front of the old man's grave until his head bled.
The weather in early autumn was not too cold yet. Duan Xuan had been practicing martial arts since he was young and had strong blood, so he chatted to the old man in front of the tomb.
In the end, he simply lay down on the open ground, placed the jade plaque on the bleeding forehead, closed his eyes, and involuntarily followed the nameless method and started breathing in!
At this time, the moon came out. Under the moonlight, the jade tablet was stained with blood again, and Duan Xuan recited the nameless magic formula.
Suddenly, a burst of soul-rending suction came from the jade tablet, almost killing Duan Xuan half of his life.
After a long time, Duan Xuan found that he was suddenly sucked into a huge space.
Only then did Duan Xuan understand that this jade tablet was made by someone unknown in what year and by which power. The simplest method to open it must meet three conditions: moonlight, human blood, and an unknown secret!
The entire space is huge, with mountains, hills, plains, lakes, rivers, deserts, grasslands, oceans, and islands.
At this time, a miniature map appeared in front of Duan Hongxuan.
This is the map of the entire space.
Through the information instilled by the system, Duan Xuan discovered that the entire space is simply like a flattened earth, but it is slightly different.
The entire area is more than ten times larger.
Similar to the earth, all wild animals and plants exist on the earth and have become extinct, and the climate is also slightly similar.
The distribution shape of each continent and island is different from that on the earth.
There is a continent in the center, and in the center of the continent there is a huge mountain that is as thick as the top and bottom hundreds of meters above the ground.
The top of the mountain is very flat, covering an area of hundreds of square kilometers. It is covered with lush forests and there is a huge lake in the middle.
There is a small island in the center of the lake, and there is a group of buildings similar to those in ancient China.
There is a square in front of the building complex, and a tall stone monument is erected on the square.
Through the information in his mind, he learned that this island is the control center of the entire space, and now only he can go up there.
