Ye Tianshi, known as Gui and Xiangyan, was a famous medical scientist in the Qing Dynasty. His medical skills are superb and his reputation is far and wide, and there is an endless stream of people seeking medical advice. However, by chance, Ye Tianshi met a mysterious medical monk, and this medical monk was even better, which amazed Ye Tianshi. Ye Tianshi studied from medical monks, and eventually obtained the medical secrets of medical monks, and on this basis, he founded the theory of warmth and heat, and became the most outstanding medical scientist of our time. So, who is this mysterious healer? Why is his medical skills so high? How did Ye Tianshi learn from him?
In the second year of Qianlong (1737), a plague ravaged the south of the Yangtze River, and countless lives were like mustard. That year, Hong Peng, a person from Zhejiang, had the dream of a science field and took his companions to the capital by boat to participate in the examination, but who expected that in the Suzhou area, he was infected with the plague. Seeing this, the companions were very anxious, and hurriedly invited the famous local doctor Ye Tianshi to diagnose and treat his pulse.
Ye Tianshi checked Hong Peng's pulse for a moment, and then said with a solemn face: "Brother Hong Xian's illness is not a child's play, it is not trivial. After my diagnosis, you have the plague, and it is already a very serious late symptom, and I am afraid that even I have no cure. Hong Peng was terrified when he heard this, and he regretted that his years of hard work in the cold window had been in vain.
Seeing this, Ye Tianshi sighed and continued: "You and I are both scholars, how can we be stopped by such a plague? Although I don't have a solution, I can't directly sentence you to death. You should go back to the ship and recuperate for a few days, and then I will prescribe some herbs for you to temporarily quench your thirst, and then relieve your symptoms first. When your condition is a little weaker, please go back to your hometown as soon as possible, and you don't have to rush to take the exam. You're still young and vigorous, and even if you don't make it to high school this time, you still have a lot to do in the future. "
After hearing this, Hong Peng was extremely frustrated. Seeing his gloomy expression, his companions comforted him: "Ye Tianshi is just a doctor, how can he be more capable than an immortal?" He takes his condition seriously, and maybe a miracle doctor can help you through this difficult time. It's better for us to wait and continue on our journey. Hong Peng was cheered up by the words of his companions, and a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in his heart.
The next day, Ye Tianshi prescribed a herbal prescription for Hong Peng, and after Hong Peng took it, he temporarily relieved some of the symptoms of dryness and heat. He and his companions continued on the road, intending to take this opportunity to cross the Yangtze River first, and if the symptoms were clear, they would go straight to the capital to take the exam. When the boat arrived at Pukou, the wind on the river was fierce and it was impossible to cross the river. A few people had to go ashore first and stay for a while at the nearby Jinshan Temple.
The incense of Jinshan Temple is vigorous, and the visitors are endless. As soon as Hong Peng and the others entered the mountain gate, they saw a huge "medical monk" plaque hanging high on the lintel. Hong Peng was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward to inquire, asking to see this miraculous medical monk.
After a while, a white-haired old monk appeared, his expression was calm, and his eyes were like electricity. He carefully checked Hong Peng's pulse for a moment, and then muttered: "Childe is terminally ill, I am afraid there is no cure." From then on, the road will be further aggravated, thirst will occur, and it will be difficult to continue. Hong Peng was dejected again when he heard this.
Seeing his gloomy expression, the old monk said slowly: "Don't be too sad. Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and He will never treat the good people badly. But if you listen to my doctor, you will be cured. After that, the old monk instructed: "You can go to the dock quickly, buy eighty catties of autumn pears, and put them in the basket cart." On the way, but with pears to fill hunger, pears thirsty instead of tea, will be safe and sound. "
Hong Peng heard that the doctor's order had never been heard before, and he was full of doubts, but he didn't think much about it, so he had to act according to his words. Early the next morning, Hong Peng got out of the car basket full of fresh pears and continued on the road with his companions. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Hong Peng's thirst to break out. He hurriedly took out the pear fruit to quench his hunger and thirst, and the taste was delicious and nourishing, and it really worked. Eating slowly all the way, when he arrived in the capital, Hong Peng had already eaten most of the pears in the car, and his body did not have any old diseases, he was refreshed.
When he returned to fame, Hong Peng was grateful and deliberately returned to Jinshan Temple to thank the old monk. He took out twenty taels of silver to thank the old monk for saving his life. The old monk refused to accept it, and said with a smile: "Just grass people, how can he be virtuous?" If Gongzi sincerely wants to repay me for saving my life, why don't you go back to Suzhou, go to see Ye Tianshi again, and thank him for me. If he asks you who healed you, he will say that he is an old monk, and he will surely understand it deeply. "
Hong Peng did as he said, returned to Suzhou, and met Ye Tianshi again. Ye Tianshi saw Hong Peng in full energy this time, and he looked at each other a little. After he checked his pulse, he found that Hong Peng's illness had been cured, and he shook his head again and again and sighed. Hong Peng then brought his previous experience of seeking medical treatment in Jinshan Temple to Ye Tianshi one by one.
Ye Tianshi smiled dumbly when he heard this, and said to Hong Peng: "Gongzi is really destined to meet such a miraculous old monk. How can ordinary grass people have such clever medical skills? I am afraid that he is already the reincarnation of the ancestor of Bodhidharma, or the reincarnation of the current monk. I, Ye, am really guilty, arrogant, and think so highly of myself that I don't even recognize such a Master. When I immediately learn from a teacher and ask him for advice on the best medical skills, I will definitely be able to further surpass myself!"
After Ye Tianshi returned home, he couldn't sleep all night. He pondered over and over again the medical skills of the old monk of Jinshan Temple, sighed to himself, and learned from the pain. Early the next morning, he resolutely resigned from his apprentices and went to Jinshan Temple alone, sincerely asking to see the old monk and worship him as a teacher.
Seeing that Ye Tianshi was so sincere, the old monk nodded in agreement. Since then, Ye Tianshi has diligently consulted the old monk every day for medical advice, listening attentively, and being hungry and thirsty. The old monk was kind and persuasive, and taught earnestly, and he was extremely important to Ye Tianshi. However, after all, the old monk's mana is profound, and his mastery is endless, even if Ye Tianshi is brilliant and has learned something, it is difficult to grasp it all.
One day, Ye Tianshi saw a patient's abdomen swollen, but the old monk prescribed an extremely violent medicine. Ye Tianshi was puzzled and stepped forward to ask the reason. The old monk smiled indifferently and only said: "This person has poisonous insects in his abdomen, and he must use this medicine to treat him, otherwise he will definitely hurt his life if he hesitates." Ye Tianshi was shocked when he heard this, and only made a joke as an old monk. Who knew that after the patient took the medicine, he vomited black water, and a poisonous insect several feet long was discharged from his abdomen, which shows the old monk's medical skills.
Since then, Ye Tianshi has redoubled his efforts, studied diligently, and has supreme admiration for the old monk's medical skills. The old monk also admired Ye Tianshi's diligence and studiousness, so he taught some internal boxing techniques to protect himself. Ye Tianshi practiced day and night, and soon learned the inner boxing skills.
Another time, Ye Tianshi and the old monk practiced medicine among the people and met a person with severe asthma. After the old monk checked the pulse, he actually prescribed a highly toxic drug. Ye Tianshi was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. The old monk smiled and said nothing, still insisting on this. Ye Tianshi had no choice but to back down. Unexpectedly, after the man took the medicine, he was cured.
Seeing this, Ye Tianshi realized that the old monk's medical skills had been perfected, which was not trivial. Only then did he realize that sometimes the way to save people's lives is often unexpected. So Ye Tianshi suddenly came to his senses, so he bowed to the old monk, confided his life experience, and said that he was Ye Tianshi, a famous doctor in Suzhou City. The old monk was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately taught him his unique medical secrets.
Since obtaining the secret book of the old monk's medical skills, Ye Tianshi has turned over and become a new person, leaving behind all the pride and conceit of the past. He was diligent in practicing medicine during the day, and at night he devoted himself to studying the secrets taught by the old monks, and became even more fascinated by the way of medicine. Once, they went to a village together to see a doctor and encountered a strange disease.
It turned out that there was a wealthy family in that village who had a big green snake as a pet. Unexpectedly, the green snake actually injured the owner in the middle of the night, causing the owner to be poisoned and died. After the death of this green snake, it turned into an extremely terrible strange disease, which quickly spread in the village. The local people died of the epidemic one after another, and there were countless deaths and injuries in the village.
When Ye Tianshi and the old monk arrived, they saw that the village was full of lost dogs, and the crying was endless. The two hurriedly went to the village to treat the people, but the symptoms of all the patients were extremely strange: ulcers all over their bodies, sores all over their bodies, bleeding from the mouth and nose, and vomiting black water. Ye Tianshi checked everyone's pulse and found that the symptoms were all due to poisoning, but after checking the medical classics, there was no medicine that could relieve such a poison.
When the old monk heard this, he didn't care, and only said lightly: "This is the work of the green snake spirit, which is not trivial." To cure this disease, it is necessary to use the true fire to get rid of the disease. After that, he asked his attendants to take a strange grass shaped like a yellow flower, burn it with fire, pound it into a dose of poisonous soup, and distribute it to the sick.
Ye Tianshi was horrified when he saw this, it was too dangerous to be an old monk. He persuaded him repeatedly, but the old monk turned a deaf ear and still acted like this. Ye Tianshi had no choice but to follow him suspiciously and assist in distributing the poisonous soup.
Unexpectedly, the next day, the patient who took the poisoned soup gradually improved! The festering sores stopped, and the symptoms of hematemesis were reduced. Three days later, all the sick people had recovered, and the wailing of the bereaved dogs was no longer visible in the village.
Ye Tianshi was taken aback when he saw this, and he admired the old monk so much that he threw himself to the ground. He finally understood that the old monk's medical skills were connected with the elements of heaven and earth, and he had perfected the realm, which was not trivial. Since then, Ye Tianshi has been more devout in studying the secrets taught by the old monk, and he has been puzzled day and night, just to be able to inherit this magical method completely.
A few years later, Ye Tianshi had thoroughly studied the medical secrets taught by the old monk and summarized a complete set of medical theories called "Warm Theory". This theoretical system integrates the secret techniques of the old monk and Ye Tianshi's own experience in practicing medicine for many years.
The core point of the theory of warmth is to compare the yin and yang, cold and heat of the human body to a cauldron. As long as the heat is properly controlled and impartial, the cauldron will always be in the best cooking condition. In the same way, if the yin and yang of the human body are balanced and the temperature is moderate, you will not get sick. Once yin and yang are out of balance, cold and heat are biased, and diseases are born from this.
The way of treatment is to adjust the heat in a timely manner according to the symptoms, so that the yin and yang cold and heat in the body can be rebalanced. Sometimes you need to warm up, sometimes you need hot diarrhea, and the slightest carelessness can be counterproductive. Therefore, Ye Tianshi particularly emphasized that doctors should pay special attention to the changes in their condition, replenish laxatives at any time, and consider medication to be effective.
Although Ye Tianshi's theory seems simple, it is in line with the natural principles of heaven and earth, and coincides with the physiological conditions of the human body. In addition, it is integrated into the secret art of Qimen passed down by the old monk, which can be called the supreme mastery of medical skills. Since then, Ye Tianshi's reputation has been greatly enhanced, and his medical skills have gradually emerged, and he is resolute and omnipotent.
In the twentieth year of Qianlong (1755), Jiangnan was once again ravaged by the plague. Although time has passed, the symptoms of the plague this time are the same as those encountered by Ye Tianshi back then. After Ye Tianshi learned the news, he immediately rode his horse to the epidemic area to treat the plague.
After arriving in the local area, Ye Tianshi went deep into the fields and personally treated the patients. The unique technique he learned from the old monk enabled him to quickly and accurately identify the yin and yang bias of the plague. Some people are hot, so he prescribes laxatives; Some people are cold, so he uses warm medicine to recuperate. No matter how severe the symptoms, he can always prescribe the right medicine to help the patients gradually recover.
Soon, patients from all over the south of the Yangtze River came to seek medical treatment from Ye Tianshi. Ye Tianshi personally diagnosed and treated tens of thousands of patients, and also taught many doctors the secrets of the medical skills of warmth. Gradually, the theory of warmth and heat was widely spread in the Jiangnan area, and became a household name, becoming a unique program in the medical world.
In this way, with the miraculous curative effect of the theory of warmth, Ye Tianshi's reputation spread throughout the Jiangnan region, and he was respected as the "grandmaster of the doctor" by later generations of doctors. The medical theory of warmth and heat has also been passed down from generation to generation, and has been passed down to this day, bringing benefits to countless patients.
