Li Tianyi ignored the old man and turned to leave.
At this time, the old man suddenly said: "What's the matter, Li Tianyi, you are so ungrateful. You actually want to watch your good brother die without doing anything. Hey, this young man now has a bad heart."
."
Li Tianyi was stunned when he heard this, stopped, looked at the old man coldly and said, "Old sir, what do you mean?"
The old man looked at Liu Zhuang with a smile and said: "Young man, reach out your hand and I will take your pulse."
Liu Zhuang stretched out his wrist.
After the old man checked his pulse carefully for a while, the expression on his face became serious: "Young man, if my guess is correct, do you often have headaches, and when you have headaches, they are biased to the right side, sometimes mild and sometimes severe?"
Liu Zhuang and Li Tianyi were both stunned after hearing this, because Li Tianyi knew about Liu Zhuang's headache problem when he was in college. Liu Zhuang had seen many doctors, but nothing was good at all. At that time, Western medicine diagnosed him as neurological headache.
, I prescribed a lot of medicines, but they didn’t work at all.
Now, once the pain starts, I can only rely on analgesics to relieve the pain. The pain is indescribable.
"Old sir, in the past two years, my headache seems to be getting worse. The pain starts to get worse around 9 am every day, and gradually disappears around 3 pm. What do you think is going on?" Liu Zhuang saw that this old man seemed very worried.
I have the ability, and I asked tentatively with the idea of seeking medical treatment if I was sick.
The old man smiled and said: "Okay, since you asked me, let me tell you, your complexion is yellowish, your face is slightly swollen, you can eat and drink well, and your bowel movements are as normal. Is this correct?"
Liu Zhuang nodded: "That's true."
"Seeing that your tongue is slightly dark, the tongue coating is thin and white, and the pulse is heavy and slow. Based on the pulse conditions and symptoms, I judge that your illness is caused by evil approaching the sun, resulting in insufficient yang energy, and it is a disease of deficiency of righteousness and excess of evil." After saying this, the old man said
He looked at Li Tianyi and asked: "Li Tianyi, do you understand what I said?"
Li Tianyi nodded: "Basically, it's almost the same. What you said about good and evil, deficiency and excess, belongs to the eight cardinal principles of syndrome differentiation. The eight cardinal principles are yin, yang, exterior, interior, cold, heat, deficiency and excess. In
In traditional Chinese medicine, although the manifestations of various diseases are extremely complex, they can basically be summarized in the eight categories. The general categories of diseases include yin syndrome and yang syndrome; the depth of the disease can be divided into exterior and interior;
The bias of yin and yang, the excess of yang or the deficiency of yin is called heat syndrome, the deficiency of yang or the excess of yin is called cold syndrome; the rise and fall of evil and righteousness, the excess of evil qi is called Zhenzheng, and the decline of righteousness is called deficiency syndrome. Therefore, the eight cardinal principles syndrome differentiation is to analyze the ever-changing
Diseases should be analyzed according to the simple two-point theory of exterior and interior, cold and heat, deficiency and excess, yin and yang, so as to fully expose the contradictions in the disease, so as to grasp the appearance and interior, cold and heat.
, it is a contradiction between virtuality and reality, yin and yang.”
"Is there any more?" the old man asked next.
Li Tianyi nodded: "The Xi Ke Taiyang you just mentioned should come from Chapters 13, 14, and 15 of the Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases. In this way, Liu Zhuang's illness should belong to
What are the sun diseases in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases"?"
The old man smiled slightly: "I won't tell you what the specific disease is. Now, I will prescribe a medicine for your brother first. You can go back to the traditional Chinese medicine department to get the medicine. After you finish eating, we will talk about it.
Before prescribing the medicine, let me tell you something first.
For symptoms like your brother's, because his pulse is heavy, we cannot focus on expressing it. However, although his illness has lasted for a long time, his internal weakness is not serious. Therefore, we cannot focus on warming the internal fluid. Therefore, we can follow Zhang Zhongjing's example in treating "too little".
"Two senses" method, use Ephedra, Aconite and Licorice Decoction as the basis to prescribe medicine with additions and subtractions. My prescription is: 5g of ephedra, 10g of aconite, 10g of licorice, 10g of Ligusticum chinensis, 10g of Ligusticum vitex. You can take two doses and decoct them in water.
Clothes."
After saying this, the old man glanced at Li Tianyi and explained: "The reason why we use Ephedra, Aconite and Licorice Decoction as the basis is to support the yang to remove minor evils and tonic and dispersing. Considering that he has a headache, according to "Gao Dianzhi"
"Only the wind can reach it" theory, so it is necessary to add wind medicines such as Ligusticum Radix, Ligusticum vitex and other wind medicines to assist ephedra in dispelling wind and cold and relieving pain."
After speaking, the old man looked at Li Tianyi and said, "Do you understand?"
Li Tianyi nodded: "Understood."
Li Tianyi really understands, because although he is only half-experienced in Chinese medicine, he can memorize the entire text of "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" backwards and forwards when studying on his own, and "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" is one of the most magical and basic books in traditional Chinese medicine.
Medical books, in the school of traditional Chinese medicine, there is a sect called Jingfang School, which refers to the treatment based on more than 200 formulas contained in Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Synopsis of the Golden Chamber written by Zhang Zhongjing, a famous medical scientist in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Disease. Since these two works of Chinese medicine have summarized various diseases common to ordinary people very well, basically in addition to trauma, many internal medical conditions can be found in the corresponding symptoms, as long as they are accompanied by traditional Chinese medicine.
With diagnosis, you can always find a suitable prescription.
Precisely because Li Tianyi usually studies a lot, he understood everything the old man said very clearly, except for the slight lag in his pulse.
The old man smiled enigmatically: "Okay, have you remembered the prescription? If you have, you can go back, I have to be busy too. My phone number is 138****120, Li Tianyi, you
Remember, if you want to completely cure your brother's illness, you have to rely on yourself for the rest. If you want to know how to treat it, give me a call to become a disciple."
After saying that, the old man turned around and left.
Li Tianyi and Liu Zhuang left side by side.
As he walked, Liu Zhuang said with some confusion: "Boss, do you think this old man is reliable or not? Why does he feel that he is exaggerating? I am very confused. We are not related to him and have never met him. Why does he have to do it?"
Are you rushing to accept you as a disciple? Doesn’t this explanation make sense?”
Li Tianyi smiled bitterly and said, "I can't figure this out either. If he wants to recruit apprentices, there are plenty of them at the Provincial Medical University."
"Then should we arrest the medicine the old man mentioned or not?"
"Of course you have to catch it. If there is nothing wrong with the pulse condition analyzed by the old man, then the traditional Chinese medicine he prescribed is indeed very symptomatic for your condition. Traditional Chinese medicine is all about prescribing the right medicine. Let's give it a try first. I don't think the old man will fool us."
Afterwards, the two of them went directly to the Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and took two doses of medicine according to the prescription given by the old man. Originally, the two of them wanted to drink, but since they had to take medicine, they could only talk about it later.
The night after taking the medicine, there was no effect. However, after taking the second dose, Liu Zhuang called Li Tianyi very excitedly: "Boss, this old man is amazing. My headache has been significantly relieved."
Already."
"Then let's do this. You can try taking two more doses of medicine." Li Tianyi thought for a moment and then suggested.
"Okay, boss, I hope you, a half-baked Chinese medicine doctor, won't trick me."
Li Tianyi smiled and said nothing.
After taking two more doses of medicine, Liu Zhuang went directly to Li Tianyi's door and said excitedly: "Boss, I...I feel much better."
Li Tianyi looked at Liu Zhuang's face and saw that the slight swelling had subsided. This was an obvious trend of recovery.
However, when he got here, Li Tianyi knew that if he wanted to be cured, he had to go to the old man. Otherwise, with his half-hearted level, there was nothing he could do.
But when he thought of the old man's inscrutable look when he left, Li Tianyi got a big headache. The old man had obviously calculated that he would have to find him in order to cure Liu Zhuang in the end. The old man said that if he wanted to cure Liu Zhuang, he must
You have to do it on your own, and if you want to treat Liu Zhuang, you must first learn medical skills from a master.
Damn it, this old man will eventually take him on his pirate ship.
Li Tianyi sighed and said: "Liu Zhuang, let's go, let's go find the old guy. It seems that I don't even want to board his pirate ship."
Liu Zhuang saw Li Tianyi's depressed look and said: "Boss, let's forget it. Anyway, my headache is very mild now. It's much better than before. I can endure the pain before.
Now this little pain is just a piece of cake for me."
Li Tianyi shook his head: "Since there is a chance to cure, why give up? Let's go. It's time for us brothers to visit this old gentleman."
"Boss, aren't you going to work today?" Liu Zhuang asked.
"Damn, today is the weekend, right?"
"Hey, I'm sorry, I was so excited that I forgot about this. That's just in time. Let's go visit the old man together. But do you know the old man's name?" Liu Zhuang asked.
"I checked Baidu. This old man's name is Li Keke. The information online is quite simple. He just said that he was the teacher of the famous medical expert Gu Guojin.
But no matter what his identity is, this time, I fell into a trap."
"Boss, you are so great. You are indeed my boss, Liu Zhuang. You are willing to sacrifice yourself to save me..." Liu Zhuang slapped a series of flattery.
Li Tianyi slapped Liu Zhuang on the back: "Stop coming, hurry up and walk."
At 9:30 in the morning, Li Tianyi dialed the phone number of the old man Li Keke. As soon as Li Tianyi revealed his name, he heard a burst of hearty and excited laughter on the other end of the phone.
"Haha, it's Tianyi. What do you think? Have you thought about it clearly? Do you want to become my teacher?" Li Keke's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I said, old sir, can we not be so direct? I have to ask you first, can you ensure that I can cure my brother's disease after I become your disciple?" Li Tianyi put forward his own conditions.
"This is no problem, and I guarantee that you will be able to directly prescribe medicine to your brother on the same day. However, I also have a condition."
Li Tianyi immediately became vigilant: "What are the conditions, please tell me first."
"It's like this. A medical delegation from South Korea visited our Baiyun Province. They kept saying that the origin of traditional Chinese medicine is Korean traditional medicine in South Korea. Now there is a huge dispute between our traditional Chinese medicine system in Baiyun Province and South Korean traditional medicine. This visit seems to
The last visit was a visit. In fact, South Korea sent Korean doctors to challenge our traditional Chinese medicine. This time, because it was the other party who came to challenge us, we both agreed that the topic of the challenge would be raised by the Koreans, and our traditional Chinese medicine community in Baiyun Province would
Challenge directly. I hope you can participate in this Sino-Korean Medicine Challenge as a member of our Baiyun Province Traditional Chinese Medicine delegation!"
Li Tianyi suddenly felt a big headache.
He knew that his feeling was correct, this old man was really a big trap.
