I just said that the apprentice who was pulled in is called "Asafoetida", which is an insecticide. It is warm in nature and pungent in taste. It is used to treat abdominal pain and remove evil spirits.
Presumably the two people at the counter also have the names of the herbs.
But Cao Yuanzhi's eldest son calls himself "Tianlong". Is this also a medicine?
Yun Kong couldn't think of anything for a moment, so he had to ask: "If I may take the liberty of asking, how many brothers are there in the house?"
Cao Tianlong was stunned, wondering why the Taoist priest asked: "I have three brothers and two sisters."
"Then I'd rather ask," Yun Kong apologized, "How would your father name them?"
Cao Tianlong smiled knowingly and replied: "The second brother is named Tianshe, the third brother is Zhucheng, and the fourth brother is net worker..."
"Pindao understands."
Yun Kong stopped him from talking anymore. After all, it was impolite to ask someone's daughter's name.
It turns out that the names Cao Yuanzhi chose for his son were not the names of herbal medicines, but the names of insects. It should be said that they were names of insects that could be used as medicine.
Tianlong, also known as centipede, is used to calm convulsions and detoxify.
The dung beetle of Tianshe, also known as the dung beetle, can also calm surprises and attack poison.
Various vehicles, dragonflies, are used to nourish the kidneys and strengthen yin.
Web workers, also known as spiders, are used to dispel wind, reduce swelling and detoxify.
Cao Tianlong looked at Yun Kong's expression and knew that he understood: "My father also deliberately found some remote nicknames, which he found from many pharmacopoeias from various places."
Yunkong said: "Your Majesty has good intentions, but I don't know why you used insecticide to name it?"
"I'm afraid the Taoist priest didn't know this when he first came here," Cao Tianlong said. "Among the drugs used in this pharmacy, only two out of ten are insect-based. My father has devoted himself to research and has continued to increase the number of available insect drugs over the years."
Yun Kong nodded: "It turns out he is also a strange person."
"Taoist Master," Cao Tianlong straightened his expression and got to the point, "My father had an accident a month ago and he has not yet stepped out of this room. I wonder what happened inside?
Does the Taoist priest have any clue? "
"No," Yun Kong said honestly, "unless I can go in and have a look."
"Taoist Priest, think twice, those who go in never come out."
"That's what bothers me."
Yun Kong looked annoyed and hesitated.
"Someone is talking."
Hongye pulled Yunkong's clothes.
Everyone fell silent and listened carefully.
"No wow."
No one heard any talking.
Hongye was unhappy again now: "It's okay if you don't believe me. I didn't lie to you."
Cao Tianlong shrugged, wondering why this girl could get angry so easily.
I saw Yun Kong bending down and patting Hongye on the back: "Hongye, who do you hear talking?"
Hongye glared at the people around him, turned his head and ignored them, covered half of his mouth with a small hand, and leaned close to Yunkong's ear: "It's the person locked inside."
"Um?"
"He said Cao Zhucheng was in danger."
Hongye's ears can hear very faint sounds.
Yun Kong raised his head and asked Cao Tianlong: "My brothers, have you done anything wrong lately?"
Cao Tianlong was startled for a moment: "I feel a little unwell."
"I am not sure, but please let me take a look at your brother."
"Why?"
"This is your father's warning."
Cao Tianlong thought that Yun Kong was playing tricks, but when he saw his serious eyes, he suddenly felt a little confused.
This Taoist priest is not kidding.
※※※
Cao Zhucheng, the third son of the Cao family.
As soon as he came, he said straight away: "If you don't want to see a doctor, why don't you want to see a Taoist priest?"
He looked unhappy, looked a little nervous, and his eyes were a little panicked.
Yun Kong said: "Let me show you, I won't hurt you."
Yun Kong's gentle tone made him relax a lot, and then he began to look at Yun Kong.
He saw that this man was nearly fifty years old, with a long beard hanging down his chin. There were traces of wind and frost around his eyes, but they could not hide his bright eyes. His cheeks were so thin that they were sunken, but they could not lose their faint aura. majesty.
Maybe this Taoist is a hope.
Yun Kong walked from the medicine shop to Cao's house, which was only a street away. Cao's house was not big. When he entered the courtyard, the house was filled with the special aroma of herbs. There must be a place to store medicine in the house.
When I first saw Cao Zhucheng, I saw that he coughed slightly from time to time. He was wearing thick clothes in this hot summer, and his face was unusually red.
"When did this start?"
Yun Kong asked while observing him.
"About a month."
"Your father is in the same situation, right?"
Yun Kong asked this deliberately.
Cao Zhucheng shivered and looked at the sky with fear.
His expression had already answered Yun Kong.
Yun Kong turned to look at the Cao family, and saw Cao Tianlong's eyes as if he had suddenly realized something, and the distressed expressions of Cao Tianshe, Cao's network workers, and other family members.
"So, how long did it take for you to get sick after your father started getting sick?"
"It's... about ten... more than ten days..." Cao Zhucheng looked at Yunkong fearfully.
Yun Kong turned around and asked other family members: "Has anyone among you ever had such symptoms?"
Everyone looked at each other, then shook their heads one by one.
Yun Kong originally thought it was an infectious disease, but other family members did not seem to avoid Cao Zhucheng, nor did they get sick within this month, which showed that it was not an infectious disease.
He asked Cao Zhucheng to put his hand on the table to feel his pulse.
As soon as Yun Kong's three fingers touched Cao Zhucheng's mouth, he was startled: "What pulse is this?"
I just felt that it was a "late pulse", and I thought that it was indeed a cold syndrome. The pulse condition suddenly changed to "several pulses". I thought it was a "short pulse", and then slowly changed to a "long pulse".
At this time, cold sweat broke out on Yun Kong's forehead.
Twenty-eight kinds of pulse conditions occurred in an interlaced manner, in a disorderly manner. Yun Kong was shocked: "Isn't this a 'Jie Suo'?"
"Jiesuo" is one of the strange veins. The pulse is in chaos, just like the chaos when trying to untie a rope. "The Poem of Seven Strange Veins" says that it is "sometimes dense and sometimes sparse." As long as the strange veins appear, medicine and stone will have no effect.
When Cao Zhucheng saw the change in Yun Kong's expression, he suddenly withdrew his hand, and cold sweat broke out all over his body. Everyone looked at him in surprise.
He realized that he had lost his composure, and his eyes moved uneasily, thinking about going down the steps.
Cao Zhucheng shivered slightly, tightened his collar, and stood up: "Take a break, I feel so cold..."
He staggered a few steps and looked towards the sunny yard.
He wanted to take in the sunshine, so he moved his steps, and everyone made way for him to walk over. Cao Tianlong hurriedly asked Yunkong to accompany him.
Yun Kong waved his hands to show that he didn't care, but he was very confused in his heart: "I just saw that you guys seemed to have something to say. Is there something unspeakable?"
The second son of the Cao family also came forward at this time: "There is nothing difficult to say, but there is one thing, I don't know if it is related."
"Please say."
Cao Tianshe said: "There is a reason why we asked the Taoist Priest to eliminate the 'demon'."
Yun Kong waited for him to continue.
"The father had a strange dream before the onset of the disease. Dreaming of many bugs rushed to his father, shouting that he was wronged, and his father was shocked. Since then, he was restless and thought that it was a grudge. Waiting for something strange to happen, so after discussing it with the family, they thought there must be a monster causing trouble, so they found someone to get rid of the monster."
The fourth son of the Cao family asked, "I was thinking of another thing?"
His two brothers glanced at him, and Cao net worker said: "There is one thing that may be related to the situation of my father and third brother. Just now the Taoist priest mentioned that third brother may be the same thing as my father, so I didn't think of it."
"Could it be...?"
Cao Tianlong raised a finger.
"Things about Sifengzhai."
Cao, the network worker, said to his elder brother, and Cao Tianlong hurriedly nodded after hearing this.
Yun Kong waited for him to say.
"Sifengzhai is the pharmacy where my father keeps insects. These insects are used to make medicine."
"I just heard about it," Yun Kong said, "Your Majesty has done a lot of research on using insects as medicine."
Cao Wanggong said: "My father is very good in this aspect. Sifengzhai has raised sixty species of insects, 80% of which can be used to make medicines. The other fathers are still studying the properties of medicines, but the ones my father has raised the most are spiders."
Yunkong paid attention to Cao Yuanzhi's net worker, and saw that he was handsome, with intelligent eyes. Perhaps he was Cao Yuanzhi's favorite youngest son, right?
Because he named his youngest son after the spider he raised the most.
“Can spiders also be used as medicine?”
"It often has magical effects," Cao Tianlong interrupted and explained, "If you encounter snake or scorpion poisonous injuries, grind spiders into juice and apply it to the wound. It will be effective immediately.
Whether it is poisonous sores, nasal polyps, chancre, or stroke that prevents you from opening your mouth, there are proven prescriptions for each. "
After hearing this, Yun Kong couldn't help but lick his gums. He felt that they were bleeding easily recently. He wondered how to treat his "motor tooth chancre"?
Thinking about it, he hurriedly shook his head: "What happened to Sifengzhai?"
