When Dugu Xiang heard what Cangtou said about "Qipan Mountain", he became very curious. When he saw a big tree beside the wall behind him, he jumped up and quietly stood on the branch to take a closer look. Jiang Shuo hurriedly shouted in a low voice: " Xiang'er, come down quickly."
Fortunately, everyone was paying attention to Shitai. They gathered together and talked in low voices. No one looked at her, so this shocking move did not cause a commotion. Dugu Xiang looked for a moment and then jumped down and said to Jiang Shuo: " Brother Shuo, this hill really looks like a chessboard. It’s actually made up of piles of rocks, but from a distance, the criss-crossing does look like a chessboard.”
Jiang Shuo took her hand and said, "Xiang'er, please stop fooling around."
Ye Qingyao glanced sideways at Dugu Xiang and sneered, "Childish!"
Fortunately, Dugu Xiang and Jiang Shuo were chattering about the scene in Qipan Mountain and did not hear her words, otherwise they would inevitably have another disagreement.
Li Tengkong walked to the Taoist master in Maoshan Mountain first, bowed his head to the Taoist priest in the lead, and said, "Brother Wei, I'm late."
Look at the Taoist priest who is tall and tall, with a face like a crown of jade, and a long beard hanging down his chest. He is none other than Wei Jingzhao, Mr. Zhenyin’s first disciple, Li Hanguang. Jiang Shuo stepped forward and crossed his hands as a courtesy: "Long time no see, Mr. Wei.".br>
Wei Jingzhao was also surprised when he saw Jiang Shuo and said, "Shuo'er, why are you here?"
Jiang Shuo said, "It's a long story. I'll tell you in detail after today's event is over."
Wei Jingzhao nodded and said, "Shuo'er, you are very skilled in martial arts. With you here, I have no worries today."
Seeing Wei Jingzhao's solemn look, Jiang Shuo couldn't help but be surprised and said, "What, aren't all the doctors here today? Are they going to use force?"
Wei Jingzhao obviously already knew the inside story and said, "I hope you don't have to take action. Even if you don't, you have to prepare for the worst. It depends on the situation."
Jiang Shuo crossed his hands and said, "It all depends on the Taoist Master's orders."
At this time, there were nearly a hundred people gathered in the audience. They were dressed as Confucian, Buddhist, and Taoist. In the Tang Dynasty, the term "doctor" had just been introduced, and there were classifications in different fields. However, there were still many doctors who were Confucian scholars, monks, and Taoists. Yes, there is no unified origin of their masters. These doctors gathered together to talk according to their respective schools. Although no one talked loudly, many small voices gathered together, making it very noisy. Only one person came on the stage. , said loudly: "Everyone please!"
This voice was like a loud bell. The sound spread, and everyone felt their hearts tremble. The scene immediately became quiet. Jiang Shuo whispered: "Lion Roaring Skill?"
Dugu asked, "Yes, this person seems to be a lay disciple of the Shaolin Sect."
However, Dugu Xiang paid attention to the appearance of that person and said dissatisfiedly: "Grandma Yun, is this person from Qinyue? Why is he born so short?" It turns out that the person was extremely short and fat in life, like a ball of flesh, with a fat face. The beard on his face is sparse, with seven strands pointing up and eight strands pointing down. His clothes are very gorgeous and rich, and he is dressed like a wealthy businessman.
Yun Gu said: "He is not from Yue..." But she hadn't seen a Qin Yue person for more than forty years, and the appearance of the Qin Yue people had been blurred in her memory for some time. He became less confident and muttered: "Maybe not..."
But I heard the man say: "I'm in Menglu, Ruzhou..."
As soon as this statement came out, the crowd began to talk again. Dugu Xiang asked: "This Meng Lu is not good-looking, is he popular among people?"
Li Tengkong smiled and said, "Sister Xiang'er, you have been in Jianghu for a long time and don't know about Xinglin. Meng Lu's grandfather is very famous, and his grandfather is Meng Shen."
Dugu Xiang asked again: "Who is this Meng Shen?"
Li Tengkong said: "Meng Shen is the 31st grandson of Mencius, the sub-sage. He was promoted to Jinshi in the early years of Chui Gong and served as Fengge Sheren. During the Chang'an period, he served as the governor of Tongzhou. However, in the Wu Zhou Dynasty, he was convicted for his speech and was constantly demoted. , among the divine dragons, retired from old age and returned to his hometown, became an official and returned to the mountains of Yiyang to live in seclusion."
Dugu Xiang said: "Ah... Is Meng Shen an official? I thought he was a doctor."
Li Tengkong smiled and said: "Don't be busy. Meng Shen is not only a Confucian scholar, but also a native of Xinglin. He is the true disciple of the medicine sage Sun Simiao. After he retired to seclusion during the Shenlong period, he began to make a living with medicine and bait. He opened a medicine shop in his hometown of Ruzhou. In a medical clinic, in the second year of Jingyun, Ruizong became ill due to the turmoil in the court. The imperial doctors of the Manchu Dynasty were helpless, so they summoned Meng Shen to return to the court from Ruzhou.
Thousand-year-old turpentine and Poria cocos were boiled into Duling decoction. Ruizong took it for seven days, and the inside and outside looked brand new, and the chronic maladies were eliminated immediately. Ruizhong asked him what reward he wanted. Meng Shendao, who had retired to the countryside, asked for nothing. He just opened a medical clinic in the countryside and asked the saint to give him a name. Ruizhong gave him the gift with the meaning of "Meng's Qihuang, Yu Ze for a hundred generations". The nickname "Meng Yutang". "
Jiang Shuo praised: "This Meng Shen is truly a legend."
Li Tengkong said, "Isn't that right? As for this Meng Lu, he is the great-grandson of Meng Shen, the son of Meng Jue, the third generation head of Meng Yutang's family. If nothing else, he will also be the future head of Meng Yutang's family."
Meng Lu saluted everyone with folded hands on the stage and said: "It has been forty years since my ancestor founded Meng Yutang. I have been loved by many people and supported by all my colleagues. Meng Yutang's symbols are spread all over the Tang Dynasty. There is also a branch in Yingzhou, Beidi. I, Meng Yutang, can be considered as half of the host for today's meeting." Immediately, people in the audience echoed and applauded.
Da Wuyi nodded and said: "No wonder the conference can be held here. It turns out that it is because of Meng Yutang's name."
Dugu Xiang asked: "Why is this? The Beizhen Temple is empty, so there is no harm in using it. Besides, we didn't even enter the main hall, we just held a party in the side courtyard."
Dugu asked: "Beizhen Temple is a royal sacrificial temple. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter. Even if the saint does not come once every ten years or a hundred years, it cannot be used by this group of doctors without official status. But Meng Yutang is different. Meng Yu The name Tang was given by Emperor Ruizong, and Meng Yutang has been popular among both the government and the public for eighty years by selling medicinal materials, so he dared to use the Beizhen Temple Branch as the venue."
Meng Lu raised his hand and said: "Today's meeting, some great sages have known about it in advance, and some may have heard some rumors, but more great sages are not aware of it yet, but this matter concerns us, the Tang Dynasty." Everyone in Xinglin, the great sages of Qin and Yue, have invited all the sages here to discuss together."
There was another murmur below, and Meng Lu said: "I won't go into details anymore. I invite a great sage from Yue to come on stage." As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of thunderous cheers.
Dugu Xiang said: "My dear, the great sages of Yue people are so popular."
Li Tengkong said: "That's natural. The famous medical masters of the older generation, Sun Simiao, Meng Shen, and Qin Minghe, have all passed away one after another. Qin Yue is Qin Minghe's direct disciple. His acupuncture skills are highly praised by Qin Minghe. Meng Lu and his A Compared with him, Master Meng Jue is a junior."
As he was talking, he saw an old man with white hair and childish face walking slowly up the Qipan Mountain and saluting everyone in the audience with folded hands. The audience suddenly became silent. Jiang Shuo had excellent eyesight. Although the old man's beard and hair were all white, his face was already rosy. There are few wrinkles on his face, and his facial features are deeper than those of the Han people from the Central Plains. It can be seen that he has the appearance of a native of the Western Regions, but his attire and behavior are no different from those of the Han people. The most impressive thing is his pair of eyes, which have nothing like the dullness of an old man. Yellow, still as clear as water.
The old man crossed his hands and said, "Comrade Xinglin, the old Qinyue people are being polite."
The Chinese medicine practitioners in the audience crossed their hands and returned the gift, and some people in the audience greeted him. Qin Yue said: "Thank you for your care, comrade. I am still strong. I invite you all here today not for greetings, but because I have an important matter." Thank you for your help."
Someone in the audience shouted: "Did Qin Daxian encounter some incurable disease? Do you want me to wait for a consultation?"
Another person refuted: "Bah, Qin Daxian has superb medical skills and is directly pursuing the medicine sage. What problems can there be? Even if there is, he can't understand it. What virtues do you and I have to dare to point fingers in front of the great sage?"
Another person said: "Hey...my dear friend, this is wrong. The so-called profession has specialization, and the medical field is broad. According to internal and external divisions, there are disease doctors and ulcer doctors; according to patients, there are pediatric doctors and adult doctors; and there are
There are doctors who specialize in treating paralysis of the ears and eyes, and acupuncture masters who are good at acupuncture; there are also witch doctors who draw talismans and recite incantations. Take dietary therapy as an example, Meng Yutang can be called the best in the world. "
Someone said before: "Hey, you are the chief minister of Meng Qingtang's capital, right? "No. 1 in the world" is a bit full of words. "
Someone immediately said: "Is this a disciple of Wang Tao of Fufeng? The Wang family is quite good at copying medical books, but I don't know that he also knows the method of dietary therapy."
The man said angrily: "My master learned from the experts of various schools, compiled as many as sixty volumes of medical books from the previous dynasties, eliminated the unnecessary and retained the essentials, and revised it into the book "Secrets of the Waitai". It can be said that it started from Shen Nong, and In the Tang Dynasty, everyone picked up
This comprehensive work is much better than the dietotherapy doctors who are called doctors but are actually salesmen. "
As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar in the audience. There were many disciples of Meng's dietotherapy and they were powerful, so they immediately attacked the Wang family's doctors.
There were many disciples of the Wang family, and they retorted one after another. One of them pointed at the person who had previously said that the Wang family "copied medical books" and said: "If I admit it correctly, you are the inheritor of Dharma Xiang theory. Why did Zhang Wenzhong's disciples come to provoke his disciples?" , Wang Ermen?"
The man sneered and said: "Zhang Wenzhong, our master in the former dynasty, advocated medicine to serve the emperor. Wen Zhong was familiar with medical science, especially the study of "wind" and "qi". He wrote three volumes of "Emergency Prescriptions on Hand" and "Dharma Symbol Theory" "One volume, but they are all included in "Secrets of the Outer Stage". Could it be that your master, Wang Tao, made a mistake? "
The whole chessboard suddenly became a mess. Except for Taoist priest Maoshan who was not involved in the debate, many other doctors had joined the debate and started a quarrel.
Dugu Xiang frowned and said, "The great sage from the Yue people hasn't said anything yet, so why are you making such a fuss down there?"
Wei Jingzhao said: "The Blessed Immortal Lord, since ancient times, literati have looked down on each other, but doctors are also the same. They are not convinced by each other. When they get together, there will be endless quarrels."
Dugu asked and said, "Each sect of medicine has its own specialties and secret recipes. I'm afraid no one can convince anyone. If this quarrel continues, the situation will soon be out of control."
In the midst of this chaos, Meng Lu once again jumped up to Qipan Mountain, used the lion's roar skill, and said loudly: "Proclaim the sage's order!"
