Every word spoken by the Silla monk had an upturned ending, making strange tones such as "da" and "na". Everyone had been amused when they heard this before, and they only thought he was a monkey wearing a crown, and they were quite disdainful. , however, Silla Monk suddenly brought up this paragraph, and the contemptuous expressions on everyone's faces suddenly disappeared, and their expressions became solemn.
Although the doctors present were all familiar with medical books, this passage was not about medicine, stone, or medical theory. How could the disciple of the Wang Clan remember it word for word? He was stunned on the spot and didn't know what to say for a while, but the doctor around him didn't. Ask at the exit whether there is this paragraph and whether there are any discrepancies in the words. However, all those present were great doctors and sages. Who would carry a big book like "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" with him? Seeing that the doctor from the king's sect was silent, all the doctors were discussing quietly on the sidelines, but they couldn't agree on one thing and could not come to a conclusion.
The young Silla Hwarang said to the disciple of the Wang family: "This great sage may not be able to remember it for a while. I just happened to buy a volume of "Suwen" in Luoyang. I would like the great sage to take a look at it."
As he spoke, he took out a scroll of silk books, jumped off the stone platform, placed his hands in front of Dr. Wangmen, crossed his hands and bowed again, then without turning back, jumped straight back, returned to the stage, Dugu Xiang said: "This His face is painted like a Kabuki, but his kung fu is quite handsome."
Da Wuyi nodded and said: "The people of Silla must have come prepared. These people should be medical warriors who are good at medicine and martial arts."
Dugu Xiang asked curiously: "Are there any medical warriors? Can they still treat illnesses and save people on the battlefield during a war?"
Da Wuyi said: "I'm afraid that's what I mean. There are few people in Silla, especially the elite "Hwarang", so there is one more person to take on multiple roles. Not to mention the medical warriors, there are also music warriors and poetry warriors..."
Duguxiang said with a smile: "The music warrior is not bad. He can play a drum or something on the battlefield, which is useful. What is the use of the poetry warrior? Recite poetry and kill the opponent on the battlefield?"
Da Wuyi also smiled indifferently and said: "That is similar to the poetry of the Tang Dynasty. The warriors of poetry serve the king based on warriors. I heard that there were medical concubines and medical maids among the women in the Silla palace, so I was reluctant to read it. Women who write only serve the king, which is a waste of human resources."
Jiang Shuo said: "It's really hard for a small country with few people..."
Doctor Wangmen took the silk book. Doctors were naturally familiar with "Su Wen", and Doctor Wangmen was a leader in studying medical classics. He immediately opened the scroll and found the chapter "Lun on Different Methods and Prescriptions", and people around him gathered around him. , I also want to see if there is this passage.
One person asked quietly: "Brother Shi, is this book correct? Wasn't it tampered with by the Silla people themselves?"
Doctor Wang Men shook his head and said: "It is indeed the "Suwen" compiled by the Medical Department of the Imperial Medical Office and copied by the Hongwen Library. It can't be wrong." Everyone in the Imperial Medical Office must learn "Suwen", and most of the doctors attending today are studying at the Imperial Medical Office. , all nodded in agreement: "The writing style and arrangement style are not bad, it should be the original."
Another person asked: "Is there what he said?"
Physician Wang Men nodded solemnly, and the man exclaimed: "What? Is acupuncture really spread from the east?"
The rest of the people hurriedly covered his mouth and said, "Brother, whisper..."
Physician Wang Men swallowed his saliva, coughed a few times, and said: "This, this... the Yellow Emperor was in the hinterland of the Central Plains. When he said the east, he might also be talking about the land of Qilu, not necessarily the country of Silla."
Xinluo Huarang said: "Zhou people came to the west, and in order to promote themselves, they said that the Yellow Emperor was also from the central and western regions. The "Book of Mountains and Seas" said that the Yellow Emperor was born in Pingfeng Mountain, Luoyang; the "Shui Jing Zhu" said that the Yellow Emperor was born in Tianshui, Gui. The water of Xuanyuan Valley, which is seventy miles east of the city, is just a compliment."
Doctor Zhang Men from the First Imperial Medical Office snorted and said, "Then, your Excellency, where is Huangdi from?"
Silla Hwarang said: "Of course it is Shouqiu in Qidi. "The Century of Emperors" said: "The Yellow Emperor was born in Shouqiu and grew up in Jishui."
Doctor Zhang Men said: "The Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Commentary on the Water Classic are about going to meetings, and The Century of Emperors is about trusting history? What is the truth behind this?"
Before Hwarang could argue, Silla Monk stopped him and said, "There are many places where people attend meetings in ancient books, so they can't be accurate."
After hearing this, the doctors in the audience immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, it may not be true that this meteorite came from the east."
The Silla monk ignored everyone's words and continued: "Books can contain vague words, but things cannot."
public
The doctor was stunned and looked at the old monk. The Silla monk asked: "Su Wen says that meteorites come from the east, and the meteorites are stone needles. Have any of you sages seen stone needles in the Central Plains?" "
A doctor in the audience said: "The method of acupuncture is nothing more than pricking acupuncture points with gold needles or moxibustion with moxa. Our ancestor Cui Zhiti wrote "Moxibustion Prescriptions for Bone Steaming Disease", which details the method of acupuncture and moxibustion. But there is no mention of stone needles."
A doctor immediately echoed him and said, "Yes, how can a stone be made into a thin needle? Even if it can be ground into a needle, it will break when touched, so how can it be used for acupuncture?"
The previous Silla Hwagang once again took out a black lacquered wooden box, walked to the Silla monk, and offered it with both hands. The old monk took the wooden box, looked up at the sky and said, "Everyone! The so-called "Bianstone" needle in "Suwen" here. "
This Silla monk's inner strength cultivation is also not shallow. He immediately suppressed the noisy discussion as soon as he opened his mouth. The old monk handed the box back to Hwarang. Hwarang jumped off the stage again holding the box. The doctors even unconsciously After taking a few steps back to make way for a clearing, Silla Hwarang smiled slightly and said, "Which great sage came forward to take a look?"
All the doctors did not dare to step forward for a while. Dr. Cui Men, who had recommended the speech earlier, stepped forward to watch. The man had no choice but to step forward and open the stone box. Hwarang used one hand high and the other low, tilting the box sideways to let the onlookers Everyone can clearly see the items contained in the box.
With the leader in charge, the crowd gathered around unconsciously. Dugu Xiang shook Jiang Shuo's hand and wanted to go up to take a look. Jiang Shuo had no choice but to let her jump on his shoulders. He carried Xiang'er and stood behind the crowd to look around. When he came to Jiangshuo, he couldn't see what was going on inside, but Xiang'er could see clearly over his head. He saw that the box was covered with red silk, with nine black needles lined up on it. These black needles were made from thick to thick. to very thin, ranging from three inches to one inch in length, and its appearance is black and dull. It does not look like it is made of gold or silver.
When no one made any move, Dugu Xiang encouraged Dr. Cui Men from behind and said, "Brother, pick it up quickly and see what kind of material it is made of."
Dr. Cui Men stretched out his hand, but it was a little trembling. He tremblingly picked up the thickest one. It was said to be the thickest, but it was thinner than a grass stem. As for the thinnest one, it was as slender as a bull. . Dr. Cui Men held the needle in his hand and looked at it carefully for a long time. Someone beside him couldn't help but urged: "Is it gold or stone? Old Cui, please speak up."
In fact, that person was just a disciple of Cui Zhiti, and his surname was not Cui, but people couldn't care less, and they all asked in unison: "Old Cui, Old Cui, how are you?"
The man didn't care to refute, and after looking at it for a long time, he finally sighed and put the needle back into the box, saying, "Although this black needle is as slender as a silver needle, it doesn't feel cold to the touch, and it has no elasticity and cannot be bent. Look, Come...it seems..." Everyone asked: "How does it look?" Dr. Cui Men said: "...it seems to be a stone needle indeed!"
At this time, a strong man broke into the circle, picked up the thinnest one and said, "I'll take a look too."
Dugu Xiang said: "This man looks like a butcher. Why is there such a person among the famous doctors of the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Tengkong said afterward: "The Imperial Medical Office has four departments, namely, "Medicine, Acupuncture, Massage, and Curse." The medical department is the study of medical classics. All students who enroll in the Imperial Medical Office must first study medicine, and then they will be divided into The first one is physical therapy, the second one is sores and swellings, the third one is Xiaoxiao, the fourth one is ear, eye, mouth and teeth, and the fifth one is angle therapy; "Acupuncture" also involves learning medicine first, and then learning about meridians and acupuncture points; "massage" is both about pushing and pushing. , pressing, pinching, and kneading are used to guide messages; "cursing" is the most powerful method of cursing and exorcising evil spirits, but it is a bit unclear. Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, also believes that "forbidden spells" are "such The body of a method is mysterious, and its detailed diction is inhumane, so it cannot be understood through inference.” This man is tall and has strong upper limbs. He is probably a leader in the "massage department". "
Duguxiang looked at the man again and it turned out that the man had thick hands and thin legs, and his strength was all in his upper body. He was obviously not a martial artist or someone who worked hard. The man had a strong personality. He picked up the thinnest black needle in the box and pinched it. The needle should be cut into two pieces by hand.
When the doctors saw it, some were amazed, some were sighing, and some just looked at the excitement and didn't mind it, and they started to make noise again. The massage doctor was startled and hurriedly put the broken needle into the box. He said at a loss: "This... this... I didn't do it on purpose... but... but this needle is too ineffective. I don't like it." Yes, can it be used for acupuncture?"
Silla Hwarang was not angry, he gently closed the box and said, "No.
What's bothering me is that there are many such criticisms in our country of Silla. They are not precious things, not least this one. "
Dr. Cui Men explained to the doctors: "This brother's breaking of the black needle just means that the black needle is made of stone. If it is made of gold and silver, it will never break so easily." Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this. Dr. Cui Men crossed his hands to the Silla Hwarang again and said, "Although this stone needle is of miraculous workmanship, it is hard and brittle, so it is really not suitable for acupuncture, right?"
The old monk on the Qipan Mountain platform said: "Whether it is suitable for use or not, you will know once you try it."
Upon hearing this, Dr. Cui Men crossed his hands and said, "If you can really perform acupuncture, your skills would be really amazing." The doctors who came today are all the best among the doctors in the Tang Dynasty. Although they are very proud of the arrogance of the Silla people. They were not angry, but they were obsessed with medical science. When Silla Monk said that he wanted to demonstrate his medical skills, they couldn't help but crane their necks to wait for him to say more. The whole place suddenly became silent.
At this time, the Qin Yue man who had been standing on the stage spoke loudly, and said loudly: "After talking for a long time, I finally got back to the topic. In fact, the Silla Certificate of Credence was sent to the court, and the great sages from the Imperial Medical Office and Jixian Hall had already communicated with the court. The envoys of Silla argued, and all the books and stone needles were displayed in front of the court. However, no one could convince anyone with the help of classics and history books. Therefore, the sage issued an order to order the medical experts of the two countries to conduct their own research. Once the methods are compared with the medical techniques, one can understand the origin of Han medicine."
