When Gu Yong heard Lu Xuan's words, a hint of doubt appeared on his face, and he said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Zhongjing is not an ordinary person. Such a person has no desires and needs, and Xianyun Yehe is used to it. It is almost impossible for him to submit and work for him. .”
"Your Majesty, there is no need to go there in person. You can just do your humble duty. Just invite him back to diagnose and treat your father-in-law."
Lu Xuan said: "Brother-in-law, you can't go. It's impossible for Zhang Zhongjing to stay and serve. If I want to invite Zhang Zhongjing to come out, I must go in person. Only then can I be sincere and have a certain chance."
Gu Yong said: "I'm humble enough to make arrangements."
Lu Xuan nodded and said, "Brother-in-law, let's make arrangements. I'll change my clothes and we'll go directly to Yungu Peak."
Gu Yong went to prepare the carriage. Lu Xuan changed into ordinary clothes and left the palace with Xu Chu. The group went directly to the vicinity of Yungu Peak. The distance from the county seat of Shu County to Yungu Peak is not that far, especially when Lu Xuan and Gu Yong hurried on and quickly reached the foot of the mountain.
With Gu Yong's men leading the way, the group successfully found Zhang Zhongjing's location.
Zhang Zhongjing practiced medicine in a village at the foot of the mountain.
People in the village came one after another to ask Zhang Zhongjing for treatment. Zhang Zhongjing did not refuse anyone who came, diagnosed them one by one, and then issued prescriptions for the villagers to take the medicine themselves.
Zhang Zhongjing usually practices medicine for free and does not accept money from the people.
Most of the time, he searched for medicinal herbs in the mountains and went to nearby villages to treat the people in the villages. This was a habit he had developed over many years.
Lu Xuan walked over and waited not far away without disturbing him.
When Zhang Zhongjing was diagnosing someone's pulse, he also noticed Lu Xuan, with a look of surprise on his face.
Lu Xuan is here!
Thinking back then, when he met Lu Xuan, he was treating illnesses and saving people in Yicheng County, Jingzhou. At that time, Lu Xuan arranged for Deng Dang to go to Yicheng County and bring him back to Xiangyang to treat Huang Zhong's son.
Back then, Lu Xuan was just a man in white clothes and didn't even have any official position.
After several years, Lu Xuan was different.
Lu Xuan is now the King of Wu, dominating Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Xuzhou and Yuzhou, and is very powerful. When Lu Xuan stamped his feet, everyone in the south would tremble. When such a person comes, he still stands at a distance and waits without any domineering attitude.
Lu Xuan seems to be the same Lu Xuan as before.
With a faint smile on his face, Zhang Zhongjing continued to diagnose the villagers' pulses and treat their illnesses. Even some people's conditions were slightly more serious, so Zhang Zhongjing would give them injections on the spot, which wasted a lot of time.
Fortunately, there were not many people in the village. Near noon, after Zhang Zhongjing finished diagnosing everyone, Lu Xuan strode up.
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Doctor Zhang, I haven't seen you for many years, but you still have the same style and look unchanged."
Zhang Zhongjing was smiling and energetic, and said with a smile: "The old man is almost fifty years old and is no longer young. On the contrary, it is the King of Wu who is more elegant than before, more majestic and radiant."
At this point, Zhang Zhongjing said: "The King of Wu came to Yungu Peak in person. Is someone in the family sick?"
Lu Xuan said directly: "My father's health has not been very good during the cold winter last year. Therefore, I hope that Divine Doctor Zhang will go to diagnose and treat the old man's body."
Zhang Zhongjing nodded and said, "No problem."
Lu Xuan continued: "Another thing, I hope that Dr. Zhang can stay in Shu County to treat diseases and save people."
Zhang Zhongjing frowned.
His expression was a little solemn.
When facing Lu Xuan, he did not back down at all and said seriously: "King Wu, regarding the matter of staying, we discussed it in Xiangyang, Jingzhou, and I also expressed my thoughts."
"Lao Chen is a doctor. What he wants is to cure diseases and save people. In addition, if Lao Chen wants to write medical books, he needs to travel around the world, broaden his knowledge, and see various diseases. Only then can he refer to the records in ancient medical books and check the recorded herbs one by one. Medicinal effect.”
"Otherwise, everything will be based on ancient medical books, and we don't need to study them. We just need to follow the instructions. Under such a premise, medical skills cannot progress or be transformed into our own."
Zhang Zhongjing said: "I am sorry that I cannot agree. Please forgive me, King Wu."
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Doctor Zhang, I think you are wrong and have fallen into a misunderstanding."
Zhang Zhongjing asked: "What does King Wu mean?"
Lu Xuan calmly said: "For the vast majority of doctors, they must travel to various places and imitate Shennong and taste hundreds of herbs in order to broaden their knowledge. On the one hand, they can treat diseases and save people through traveling and improve their medical skills. On the other hand, according to the records in the classics, Check the efficacy of the herbs one by one, and finally form your own theory.”
Zhang Zhongjing said solemnly: "That's how it is. Doctors improve little by little. Without these experiences and processes, it would be difficult for doctors to truly be independent."
Lu Xuan shook his head and said: "For some people, such as Divine Doctor Zhang, it is actually completely different."
Zhang Zhongjing asked: "What do you mean?"
Lu Xuan said: "It's very simple, Divine Doctor Zhang has my support."
Zhang Zhongjing couldn't help but smile, shook his head and said, "Old Man does not agree with what King Wu said. King Wu is willing to support Old Man, but it is impossible for him to help me achieve the effect of traveling."
Lu Xuan said firmly: "No, with my support, Divine Doctor Zhang will go far beyond traveling."
Zhang Zhongjing felt helpless and sighed: "Don't you think it's untenable for King Wu to say such things against his will in order to keep me? The old man said that someone in King Wu's family is sick, and the old man went all out to diagnose you. But For a doctor like Lao Chan, it is best to travel."
Lu Xuan explained: "Taoism has a theory that cultivating Taoism requires wealth, partners, law, and land."
"The first item is wealth. First of all, you must have money. Otherwise, if you practice Taoism all day long, you won't even have enough money to eat and drink, and you will be hungry all the time. You will be dizzy all day long, and you will not be able to practice Taoism."
"Couples are people of the same religion, or fellow practitioners or Taoist friends. They need people to learn from each other and confirm each other. In this way, we will not work behind closed doors, and we will not be blind to the elephant."
"Dharma is a method, a true way. If you want to practice Taoism, you must have a real method before you can get started. Otherwise, the method at the beginning will be wrong, and you will work hard for a lifetime, and it will be nonsense."
"The earth is a place for cultivation, and it is a suitable geomantic treasure land. Having a suitable cultivation treasure land can make cultivation more effective with half the effort and make the journey smooth."
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "Actually, the four words wealth, love, law, and land can be used in any matter. It is a universal truth. Take the matter of Zhang Shen curing diseases and saving people as an example. , the same thing."
Zhang Zhongjing said: "What does this have to do with the support King Wu said?"
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "With my support, Divine Doctor Zhang will have a wealthy couple and a foundation."
Zhang Zhongjing's cheeks twitched when he heard this.
Lu Xuan's words take a turn here.
However, Zhang Zhongjing's heart was still not shaken at all, and he did not feel that the wealthy couple's land mentioned by Lu Xuan was of any help.
He can rely on himself for everything.
Nothing else is needed.
Lu Xuan noticed Zhang Zhongjing's expression and was not in a hurry. He continued: "With my support, there will be a wealthy couple. Let's talk about the details. Just say that Dr. Zhang wants to verify the herbs recorded in the medical books. My people can I’ll find the medicinal herbs for you, you don’t need to search in the sun or rain, you can verify them at will.”
"Dr. Zhang wants to develop different prescriptions. I will provide all the required medicinal materials. You can develop the medicine without any distractions."
"Mr. Zhang travels to many places to treat illnesses and save people. In fact, he needs more patients so that you can practice your skills and increase your experience. I can provide you with a large number of patients here, so that you can treat yourself until you want to vomit."
"Miracle Doctor Zhang wants to treat more people. In fact, you are traveling around, and you can treat more people than you can't settle down."
Lu Xuan flicked his sleeves and said loudly: "So, if Divine Doctor Zhang wants to improve his medical skills and increase his understanding of patients' symptoms, in the final analysis, it is most appropriate to stay in Shu County."
"There is no one in the world who fully supports doctors like me."
"Whatever you need, I will support you. I will support you in everything."
"The arrangements I have given you will allow you to study medicine without any distractions. You will not have to eat and sleep in the open today, and you may fall down tomorrow and delay your treatment. I believe that if Divine Doctor Zhang really wants to cure diseases and save people, and wants to save more people, stay here with me. It’s the most suitable.”
Zhang Zhongjing was a little silent after hearing this.
He admitted that what Lu Xuan said made sense, and it would be best if Lu Xuan really supported it fully.
But, is Lu Xuan really willing?
This is a thankless task.
Zhang Zhongjing took a deep breath and said directly: "The sincerity of King Wu touched my heart. However, supporting me to study medical skills requires not only a day or two, but a year, two years, or even ten years of daily investment." Invest a lot of money, and you may not get anything back. Are you really willing?"
"I do!"
Lu Xuan answered firmly.
He did not believe that establishing a medical hospital would result in loss of money. In the future, hospitals in any place would be a treasure trove. Once the medical center is established, it will not only treat diseases and save people, but it will also be an open source in essence.
Of course, Lu Xuan did not elaborate on these, and there was no need to tell Zhang Zhongjing. It seemed too worldly.
Lu Xuan looked at Zhang Zhongjing seriously and said: "Miracle Doctor Zhang, I will give you one sentence, I will fully support you. If you feel that I have changed and no longer support you, you can leave at any time. Now, Doctor Zhang is willing to stay, Are you working hard to treat more patients and make the world disease-free?"
