"Xiang...Miss Xiang? Are you not dead?" Li Dongbi opened his mouth as big as an egg, and his tone was stumbling, with obvious surprise.
When Gu Beichuan heard this, his face suddenly darkened and he said, "What did you say?"
Li Dongbi also reacted and shook his head hurriedly: "That's not what I meant, it's just... Miss Xiang, shouldn't you be still bedridden?"
To be honest, these words were a bit rude.
Fortunately, Xiang Zhirou didn't care and said politely: "Zhirou has met Mr. Li. Thanks to brother Beichuan, he worked tirelessly to cure me."
"Wha...what? Why did Gu Beichuan save you? Can't you do it with garlic?" Li Dongbi didn't mean to look down on Gu Beichuan when he said this. The scene in front of him really had a great impact on him.
You must know that in his impression, Gu Beichuan had not learned any other methods of treating diseases and saving lives except for the two internal skills and mental methods of Yaowang Palace.
Now you tell him that a strange poison that even contemporary medicine kings find difficult to deal with has been cured by someone who has never studied pharmacology?
So what does it mean that he has practiced medicine and consulted medicine for more than ten years?
Isn’t it better than a piece of garlic?
For a moment, Li Dongbi felt that his whole body was not well.
Fortunately, Medicine King Sun Xing spoke at this time. He looked at Xiang Zhirou and said, "Are you the girl who was deeply affected by Beiyan's strange poison?"
"To my elders, unfortunately, the little girl was poisoned. Who are you?" Although Xiang Zhirou didn't know the identity of the other party, she still bowed before speaking because she was the elder.
"This is Senior Medicine King. He must have come all the way to save you at the invitation of Li Dongbi." Gu Beichuan explained at the right time.
Hearing this, Xiang Zhirou's eyes flashed with gratitude, her posture became more respectful, and she said, "I'm sorry to bother you, senior."
"It doesn't matter, you are a lucky person and you have your destiny, but my trip was in vain."
"Gu boy, can you tell me what method you used to save this girl?"
"Although she is weak and pale now, there are very few toxins in her body. As long as she takes good care of herself, she will be able to fully recover in a few days, but she doesn't look like she was hit by a sword and her bones were scattered for a month."
"The elder asked, I dare not say goodbye." Gu Beichuan still has great respect for this old man who has helped the world all his life. This respect has nothing to do with his identity as the master of the Medicine King Palace, and it has nothing to do with his monstrous and tyrannical strength. It only has to do with For what he did, he saved people.
"Senior, do you know how this sword corrodes bones and disperses poison?"
"Of course we know that apart from its own toxins, the most difficult thing about Sword Corrosion Powder is that it can accelerate the decay rate of sword wounds."
"Therefore, it is often used by the Northern Yan army. It is smeared on the cavalry swords. A single charge can cause heavy casualties to the enemy."
"Senior is really a scholar of heaven and earth, and he actually understands the art of military formation."
"Senior, do you know why this Sword Corrosion Powder can accelerate the decay of wounds?"
When Sun Xing heard this, he frowned immediately.
If it can accelerate wound decay, it can accelerate wound decay. What could be the reason for this?
"Could it be that there is some way here?" His brows gradually opened, and there was some kind of surprise in his eyes.
"Yes, seniors should know that our human body has the ability to heal itself."
"Even if you suffer a stab wound, if it is treated properly, it should scab and heal in ten and a half months."
"But if the wound is not treated properly, it will easily rot and eventually die. Why is this?"
When Sun Xing heard this, he raised his eyebrows and tentatively replied, "Is there something that is deciding whether the wound is rotten or not?"
When Gu Beichuan heard this, he nodded happily, secretly thinking that he was worthy of being the contemporary medicine king, and he really knew everything about it.
"Yes, this creature is called a bacterium!"
"It is a tiny organism that is difficult to see with the naked eye. If the wound is properly treated, dry and clean, it will not attract bacteria."
"If the wound is moist and dirty, it is easy to attract bacteria. Once bacteria come, it will cause wound infection, cause disease, and make it difficult for people to recover."
When Sun Xing heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank and his eyes dilated.
Whether it was the classics of the Medicine King Palace or the knowledge he had gained from practicing medicine over the years, they only let him know that sword wounds must be treated properly, otherwise they will rot, stink, and kill people.
This germ theory is unheard of.
But...if I think about it carefully, I think it makes some sense.
It seems to be the reason why the wound rots and smells!
"So that's it. According to what you said, organisms like bacteria are the focus of wound infection. And compared to a dry and clean environment, they prefer moist and moist places, so if the wound is not treated well, it will cause Bacteria, right?"
"The King of Medicine is really smart, and he is accurate to every word."
When Sun Xing heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "You kid, you are actually praising me."
"What a discovery. It's really a discovery."
"If your discovery is true, I am afraid it will solve the problem that has troubled doctors like us for thousands of years."
"I would say that every case has a disease."
"Why didn't he have this knife wound that could kill someone? It turns out that his disease focus is such a small thing that is hard to see with the naked eye. It's really enlightening."
"You kid, you are really smart. Fortunately, you are a descendant of my Yao Wang Palace."
Gu Beichuan was not arrogant when he heard this, but smiled humbly: "Compared with the merits of my predecessors who traveled the world and cured diseases and saved people for most of their lives, my achievements are insignificant."
Hearing this, Sun Xing nodded secretly. He was neither arrogant nor impetuous, humble and polite, and became even more satisfied.
"Now that you have discovered the location of the disease, how do you get rid of it?"
"According to what you said, these bacteria are tiny things that are hard to see with the naked eye. I'm afraid they are difficult to remove."
"Could it be...that it was really removed with garlic?"
Gu Beichuan nodded, and seeing the disbelief on Sun Xing's face, he explained helplessly: "Senior, I don't know. In addition to acting as lesions and killing people, their metabolites can sometimes be used as medicines. To suppress such diseases and drugs, I will temporarily name them antibiotics."
"Antibiotics?" Sun Xing murmured, the light of curiosity in his eyes shining brighter and brighter.
This concept is similar to pharmacology. Some medicinal materials seem to be poisons, but after special treatment of certain parts of the body, they become antidotes that can cure diseases and save lives.
There is also a saying in nature that for highly poisonous things, there must be an antidote within three steps!
It also verified Gu Beichuan's statement that bacteria and antibiotics are mutually reinforcing.
"Go on, how to prepare this antibiotic?" Sun Xing drew inferences and immediately realized the key point.
Gu Beichuan was impressed but also said helplessly: "Antibiotics are different from ordinary drugs and are extremely difficult to prepare, so they are extremely precious."
"The only antibiotic I know of that can be easily prepared is allicin."
"This is why I use garlic to treat illnesses and save lives."
When Sun Xing and Li Dongbi heard this, they were stunned.
Good guy, this garlic can really cure diseases.
