"You are wrong about me. You are so slow, the king's illness can't be cured for a thousand years. "
Along the way, the Monkey King became more and more mature, not only knowing how to speak, but also knowing how to control the situation. Here, for example, he deliberately boasted that if you look down on me so lightly, it is estimated that the king's illness will not last for a thousand years!
Others wonder, mortals only have a life span of one hundred years, how can they not be cured for a thousand years? The Monkey King explained: He is a sick emperor now. Without my treatment, he would be a sick ghost. Reincarnation is still a patient. Isn't that a Millennium disease?
The words stunned the officials.
When negotiating with people for the first time, many experts often use this trick, a sensational sentence, to attract the attention of the other party and then explain it.
Sure enough, the Monkey King proposed a very wonderful solution: since the king was afraid to see the Monkey King, he would not see him. His old grandson can completely abandon the traditional medical skills of "looking, listening and asking questions" and use "hanging the silk and feeling the pulse" to find out the illness.
Hearing this, people were frightened. Hearing this, the Tang Priest scolded him head-on and said, "You Po Hou, you are hurting me! You and I have been together for several years, but who have you cured? You don't even know the medicinal properties, and you haven't read any medical books. How dare you hit this disaster! "
Tang Priest is right. The Monkey King followed him from the foot of Wuxing Mountain for ten years. When will he see the Monkey King read medical books and save lives? At the edge of the cloud stream of the Diamond Mountain fire, the Monkey King was half-dead by the vapor of fireworks. On the contrary, Zhu Bajie showed his wonderful hand of rejuvenation and saved the Monkey King.
The Monkey King defended a few words, saying that he had several secret recipes in his early years. Although it is not commonly used, it has a miraculous effect, which reassures Master.
Later, the Monkey King pulled out three hairs on his tail and turned them into three silk threads, which were wrapped under his left wrist and right wrist respectively, to see King Zhu Ziguo's inch pulse, Guan pulse and Tathagata pulse. For a long time, after seeing the doctor, the Monkey King received the gold thread, and then screamed to express his judgment. The Monkey King's words are mostly TCM terms, so there is no need to delve into them. After nagging, the Monkey King concluded:
"Diagnosing this expensive disease is a kind of panic and worry, and it is a card for two birds to get out of the group." Hearing this, the king was filled with joy in the curtain and replied loudly, "Point down, I see!" " If it's this disease! Please take medicine outside. "
It's amazing that a few silk threads can diagnose the disease.
This magical thing is indeed recorded in history. The most famous is Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, who asked Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, to treat his grandson. Because there are differences between men and women in ancient times, concubines in the harem are even more noble and untouchable by other men. Therefore, medical women are generally responsible for pulse diagnosis and doctor consultation.
Sun Simiao suggested that you must feel your own pulse to make clear your condition. Xu Maogong reminded Sun Simiao not to touch the Phoenix body of the Queen. Sun Simiao just a thought, take out the red line from the bosom, let around the queen's right wrist. Soon, Sun Simiao was diagnosed, and the queen's grandson was not well. Emperor Taizong asked how to treat it. Sun Simiao said that only a needle needs to be stuck in the queen's middle finger to be effective. Then, the medical woman took the queen's arm out of the curtain, Sun Simiao stabbed it fiercely, and the queen's grandson trembled. Shortly after Sun Simiao stepped down, the Queen's eldest grandson gave birth to the Prince.
In the notes of the Qing dynasty, it is also recorded that the imperial doctors used silks to diagnose the pulse and treat the concubines during the Qianlong period. But, on the whole, this medical skill is so amazing that most people can't believe it.
Someone once asked Mr. Shi Jinmo, a contemporary master of traditional Chinese medicine, and he replied that it is true or not to feel the pulse. The so-called truth, it did happen; The so-called fake, hanging silk is purely formal. It turns out that concubines are always introduced by eunuchs who are close to their maids when they get sick, and doctors often ask these questions in detail, such as appetite, tongue coating, defecation, symptoms and course of disease. In order to get real and detailed information, sometimes doctors often send some gifts to eunuchs. When all this is asked, Doctor Tai will keep it in mind. When it is time to feel the pulse, the doctor must also hold his breath and remain calm and serious. To do so, first, observe court etiquette and show ministers' respect for the royal family; The second is to use this time to meditate on the prescription and prepare for treatment, so as to avoid getting into trouble because of careless words and improper medication.
Compared with other imperial doctors, suspension spring's pulse of the Monkey King in Journey to the West is more magical. People not only assert that the king usually urinates more red, but also has blood in his stool. They also said that the king's illness was caused by excessive panic and missing.
However, it is precisely because the Monkey King's diagnosis is so accurate that I don't believe it.
Because, even if the imperial doctor personally feels the pulse of the king, he can only see some problems related to his illness. How can you see from the symptoms that the king misses the golden palace and is afraid of monsters?
In fact, the Monkey King had long known the reason why the king was ill. The reason why he came up with something to feel the pulse was just to pretend to be mysterious, to shape himself into a happy doctor and to accept the worship of the king.
So, when did the Monkey King learn that the King was ill?
After the Tang Priest and his disciples came to Zhu Ziguo, Tang Priest entered the palace to change the official documents, and the Monkey King and Zhu Bajie took to the streets. Pig Bajie didn't want to leave later, so he dozed off in the corner. The Monkey King has not been idle. He opened his eyes wide and listened to all directions. For hundreds of miles, he listened to everything people said! Rest.
The candidate list introduces the king's illness: recently, due to ominous events, he has been addicted to a deep sleep, and it is difficult to recover from long-term flooding. Too many hospitals in our country have repeatedly chosen good prescriptions and failed to adjust their treatment plans.
The real reason for the king's illness was never mentioned. However, in the past three years, Sai Tai-sui has been to Zhu Ziguo five times, and every time he flies sand and rocks, there is a big movement. King Zhu Ziguo thinks that the palace is heavily guarded and his own scandal will not be exposed. However, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. Three years later, there must be all kinds of rumors from the palace, from the court to the people.
The original book also said that in April last year, the king ordered people to build a demon-avoiding building in the palace. If anything happens, everyone will hide in the underground palace. In the past three years, the king has sent troops to Qilin Mountain many times, and he has a preliminary understanding of Sai Tai-sui. With such a large-scale construction and mobilization of troops, it is impossible for ordinary people not to hear the wind.
So, the Monkey King knew 100% that the monster was in trouble and robbed the Golden Palace, and the king was scared to death.
So, how did the Monkey King cure King Zhu Ziguo?
The Monkey King received three kilograms of medicine and several thousand kilograms of medicine. In fact, only a few commonly used drugs were used in the end: one or two yellow, one or two croton, half a cup of pot ash and half a cup of horse urine.
If this drugstore in the Monkey King is seen by other doctors, the Monkey King will definitely be called a quack.
It is said that rhubarb and croton are needed, but the sand monk and pig Bajie disagree. They also know the characteristics of various drugs. After all, they are smart people who have lived for thousands of years and know everything. Both rhubarb and croton are laxatives, and once used, it is one or two, which the patient's body can't stand at all. However, the Monkey King wouldn't listen.
Why use boiler ash? The Monkey King said that boiler ash, also called paraquat, can cure all diseases. This is also the Monkey King's boast. In fact, pot ash is used for "pills", that is, rubbing pills.
If others take medicine according to the prescription of the Monkey King, the Monkey King will die of diarrhea. The king didn't die, because the horse urine he drank was not ordinary horse urine, but white horse urine!
The Monkey King said, "You don't know what to do. My horse is not any horse. He was originally a sea dragon. If he is willing to urinate, he will eat it, but it is urgent. " Later, Pig went to white to pee, but white refused to give it. He said: "If I pee in the water, the fish in the water will eat Jackie Chan;" Peeing over the mountain, the grass in the mountain tastes good, turning into ganoderma lucidum, and the immortal pulls it out for a long time. "
It turns out that the urine of a real dragon is amazing, and fish can become dragons after eating it; Grass can become ganoderma lucidum after being dyed.
There is a view that Guanyin realized that white urine has such a magical effect, so that white was added? This dragon urine is the main raw material for refining elixir!
In fact, it's not white urine, but a real dragon is a treasure!
Later, the king wanted to drink medicine, and the Monkey King suggested drinking it with rootless water. The Monkey King didn't want to wait, so he told the Dragon King of the East China Sea to let it rain. The Dragon King of the East China Sea sneezed a few times, and it rained lightly around the palace. Finally, he collected three rootless waters. The book says that the Dragon King of the East China Sea has three cups of saliva: the exotic fragrance permeates the Golden Temple, and the fragrance wafts into the heaven!
This dragon urine, dragon saliva for mortals, is tantamount to nectar, but for the Monkey King, pig eight quit and others, has been unusual. The Jade Emperor kissed Tathagata for dinner, and what he ate was dragon liver and phoenix marrow. For the immortals of Tianzun level, dragon meat and liver is just a good dish.
The higher the level of cultivation, the less things you can improve your skills. On the contrary, the lower the level, the more important everything in the celestial world will be!
It is precisely because he knows that dragon urine can cure all human diseases, and the cultivation of Yuan Gu has miraculous effects, that the Monkey King boldly released the imperial order and let the king take a large dose of laxatives.
