Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 1749: A Beauty's Words Are Worth a Thousand Gold
Ji Donglai hurriedly asked Wang Jue to wait and greet his family, after all, the old immortal would not wait for long. If things went wrong, this would be the last time they met in this life.

"You have to drink less. You don't smoke much, but I'll prescribe a prescription for you later. Your spleen and stomach disorder is not serious, so you have to pay more attention to it. Last time I took your pulse, you were distracted, but now you are basically fine."

"People like you are prone to taking away other people's lives, but we won't do that anymore! Drink more warm water and less cold drinks, and it won't be a big problem."

After taking the patient's pulse with both hands, the old immortal stroked his beard and asked his young disciple to take a pen and paper to write a prescription. Ji Donglai's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

“Can Chinese medicine tell fortunes?”

Figures one after another flashed through Ji Donglai’s mind, especially his two wives.

Yu Dahe hurriedly exchanged glances with each other, but the old immortal didn't care.

"Traditional Chinese medicine is unique and has its own logic in the evolution of world medicine. Western medicine transforms everything into matter, while traditional Chinese medicine transforms everything into spirit. Although this spirit is borrowed by religion, the concepts are similar."

"In the past, the Biography of Wu Hou recorded that Wu Hou's mind and spirit had been out of harmony for a long time, which took his life. Although it was very serious, it could still be stopped! There are many types of Chinese medicine, and in the end, it must be combined into the three paths of essence, energy and spirit."

"You need to take this medicine for three courses. I will ask my apprentice to go to a nearby pharmacy and get the medicine myself. You don't have to worry about it. Who else can come with me? I need to go home to take care of my grandson this year, so I can't stay long."

The old immortal never stops saying shocking things. Ji Donglai has also read "The Legend of Wu Hou", but has never heard this sentence before. He was so shocked that he asked the whole family to take his pulse.

Ji Donglai was very surprised that the old immortal didn't prescribe any medicine, not even for Ji Donglai's grandmother and of course Ji Zhensheng.

"Haitang, come and let the old immortal feel your pulse. This is a rare opportunity!"

Qiu Haitang came with Ji Zhensheng. Originally, the other party was not going to do anything, but was pushed directly onto the chair by Ji Donglai. The old immortal didn't care. He just touched a hand and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Child, give me your other hand."

Like Ji Donglai, the other party cared a lot about Qiu Haitang. Ji Donglai hurriedly pulled his other hand over, and Qiu Haitang's heart was in his throat.

“Working within the system?”

"Uh, yes old sir!"

The old immortal said this, and Qiu Haitang and Ji Donglai were stunned. The whole family also widened their eyes, and Qiu Haitang's eyes were also full of surprise.

"Well, I'm a little unsure now. Mr. Ji, please arrange a place for me to live. I'll ask my disciple to get your medicine first."

To everyone's surprise, the old man did not jump to conclusions. Ji Donglai hurriedly asked Ran Bo to find a room.

Just then there were guests, Ji Donglai, Yu Dahao, their assistant, the old immortal, and Qiu Haitang, all in the same room.

Ji Zhensheng was running around, leaving the rest of his family at the table, and Ran Bo acted as a waiter the whole time.

"Ms. Qiu, you don't need to take the medicine anymore. It's not very effective. Your body has been suffering from cold poison for a long time. The medicine is a gentleman's medicine and it is not very effective. I will consider it and give you a new prescription later."

"Also, you've had too many miscarriages, which has caused great harm to your body. It will take time to replenish your energy. Try not to have children within two years to avoid further harm to your body." At the dinner table, Ji Donglai and Yu Dahao sat on the left and right of the old immortal, and Qiu Haitang sat next to Ji Donglai.

When the old immortal saw that Ji Donglai's family was not there, he spoke earnestly, looking at Qiu Haitang and then at Ji Donglai while speaking.

"Thank you, old immortal. I will definitely remember it!"

Qiu Haitang was very calm at this time. It was Ji Donglai who saved his life twice. If it weren’t for that, his old illness would have cost him his life.

Qiu Haitang suffered from dizziness for a long time and originally thought that he was too tired. Later, after taking medicine, he found out that it was actually treatable.

Qiu Haitang knew that Ji Donglai had visited an old immortal before, and now she knew from his expression that it was the old man in front of her. Although the old man was not unusual and his face was full of age spots, his words were very shocking.

"Uncle, didn't you always want to promote Chinese medicine in the past few years? Mr. Ji has invested in many fields. You can talk to him. Maybe Mr. Ji can invest here. Mr. Ji has done a lot of scientific breakthroughs in our country in recent years."

"Mr. Ji dares to invest in things that others dare not invest in. Especially in the traditional field, Mr. Ji has also worked in the medical industry. In 2003, Mr. Ji made great contributions to the country and was even on TV. I told you..."

Yu Dahao began to guide him onto the right path, and told him various stories about Ji Donglai. Ji Donglai sometimes agreed and sometimes added a few words.

The expected scene of the old man being happy did not appear. It was not until the two of them stopped talking that the old man waved his hand.

"I don't want to think about it anymore. I can't keep up with the times. Since I built the website, I also learned how to use the Internet. The whole world is criticizing traditional Chinese medicine, and I can't change anything by myself."

"I've read the current Chinese medicine textbooks and some so-called Chinese medicine books, but they're just so-so. You have to get a certificate for everything, and they use Western medicine's theory of everything. Chinese medicine is basically dead."

"It takes at least four or five years to master Chinese medicine. I feel like these two years are my limit. Mr. Ji earned his money with great difficulty. I have only learned half of what he has learned in five years. Mr. Ji's money has been wasted."

"If traditional Chinese medicine is really not suitable for this era, then let it die. Western medicine has been developing for so many years, can't it also cure diseases and save lives? It doesn't matter if you lose a skill. You can have enough steamed buns and rice to eat. It's okay."

The old immortal's words were very pertinent, and Yu Dahe on the other side grinned.

Ji Donglai wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say at this moment, so he could only awkwardly pour more wine for the old man.

As an old Chinese doctor, it is surprising that the other party does not quit drinking.

"Old Immortal, I heard from Dong that you are very eloquent about ancient books. I have also read the version of Wu Hou Zhuan you mentioned. It is from the Northern Song Dynasty and has disappeared. I guess many of our ancestors' things will also be lost as time goes by, and we will see more revised versions."

"I would like to ask you a question. I have read Zhang Zai's Hengqu Four Words before. Have you read them? Is what we read also false? Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, inherit the lost knowledge of the past sages, and bring peace to the world for all eternity."

"I always feel that this sentence is a bit empty. After all, how dare a scholar take such a big revenge? The other party has fallen into poverty among the common people. He never said this in the Privy Council back then. It is too unreasonable to say this among the common people."

Qiu Haitang had been observing the performance of Ji Donglai and Yu Dahao. Especially when Ji Donglai heard the old immortal say that he didn't want to do it anymore, there was an obvious flash of disappointment in his eyes. Qiu Haitang knew that Ji Donglai wanted to complete this task, so he thought about it briefly and spoke immediately.
