Chapter 205 Three Corpse Worms

"Corpse disease!" Du Wenhao didn't raise his eyes, staring at the medical book in his hand, frowning and thinking hard.

Rosacea froze for a moment: "Corpse disease? This is a weird disease!"

"It's just..." Du Wenhao said casually.

Seeing Du Wenhao ignoring him and only focusing on reading, Jiuzai took another sip from the flagon and took another sip: "Then take your time, I won't bother you anymore."

He got up and was about to leave.Du Wenhao's heart suddenly moved. Listening to the old man's words, he seems to know about corpse diseases. Why don't you ask him, he is the book management clerk of Zhenbao Pavilion, he has a lot of knowledge, maybe he can give him some advice, and he is busy. Standing up, he cupped his hands and said, "This old man, please stop, didn't you ask for your name?"

"Mr. Du, you are being polite. This old man's surname is Zhang, and his name is Wudao. He is responsible for guarding the Zhenbao Pavilion. Hehe."

"It turned out to be Brother Zhang! Disrespect and disrespect! May I ask if you know what a corpse disease is?"

Rosacea shook his body, raised his eyelids and glanced at him: "The corpse disease, it's the disease caused by the three corpse insects!"

Corpse disease is a very rare disease, most doctors don't know about it, but unexpectedly the clerk of the Zangshu Pavilion knew about it, Du Wenhao suddenly had hope in his heart, and said happily, "Yes! Do you know how to treat this disease?"

"of course I know!"

Du Wenhao was ecstatic, it really didn't take much effort to get there without finding a place!He asked anxiously, "Can you tell me? I have a patient who suffers from this disease, but I don't know how to cure it. I have asked several imperial doctors, but they still can't cure it. Tell me, I will thank you very much!"

"Hehe, it's okay to tell you, no need to thank you, just treat me to a drink!" Jiuxuan picked up the flagon and wanted to drink again, but found that the flagon was dry, he shook it by his ear, and muttered Said: "Grandma's, it's just that when you become addicted to alcohol, you don't have any alcohol to drink. What a disappointment!"

Du Wenhao laughed loudly: "Brother, tell me, I will treat you to Zuixianlou for a drink at noon! How about a good Yangzhou Qionghua dew?"

"Is this true?"

"really!"

"That's good!" Jiuzai swallowed greedily. His monthly salary is only one or two taels of silver, and he has to support his family. In addition, he is addicted to alcohol. He has no money to buy good wine, and all he drinks is two cents a pot Hearing that Du Wenhao wanted to invite him to drink, he was overjoyed, tilted his head and said, "However, Qionghualu wine is a bit weak, and it doesn't drink very well. Can you drink Jiangning Qinhuaichun instead? The wine is strong enough!"

Du Wenhao smiled and said, "No problem! Brother, please sit down! Let's go!"

"Okay, okay!" Jiuxuan sat down, suddenly changed the subject, and asked, "Why don't you ask me why I am named 'Wu Dao'? Most people would ask that after hearing it."

"This name was chosen by my parents, and it's just a symbol..." Du Wenhao suddenly pondered some questions when he said this, "—Wu Dao, by the way, brother, why are you called Wu Dao? Could it be related to Taoism?"

"Hehe, you guessed it right! I used to be a Taoist priest.—Do you know why I say this?"

Du Wenhao shook his head, thinking that this old man really talked a lot, so he listened patiently.

Jiuxuan seemed to see what Du Wenhao was thinking, and said with a smile: "I tell you that I used to be a Taoist priest, the reason is that the corpse disease you asked about is related to our Taoism."

"Ah? How could this disease be related to Taoism?"

"We Taoists believe that there are three corpse worms in the human body. The upper worm is called Peng Jue, which is white and green in color and can make people addicted to lust. Ghosts and spirits communicate with each other and live in the middle dantian; the lower worm is named Peng Jiao, white and black in color, which can make people indulge in wine and sex, and lives in the lower dantian. Once these three worms attract external evils, they will make people sick. This disease is Corpse disease. Different corpse insects have different symptoms, and the treatment methods are also different."

After hearing what he said, Du Wenhao's heart was already brightened. If the ancients listened to what he said, they would definitely be taken aback for a while, but Du Wenhao graduated from the Department of Forensic Medicine, a medical university in modern society. Students, who have memorized the knowledge of anatomy thoroughly, how can they believe that there are three corpses in the human body?Since the cause of the disease could not be explained, it would be worth not to listen to the treatment method, so I lost interest before I finished listening.

Rosacea was talking about it, and didn't notice that Du Wenhao was no longer interested, and continued: "I will tell you a secret that is not passed on. To treat this corpse disease, in addition to Rexgan Powder and Ironing Needle Stone, we must also use our Taoist medicine. Guidance method—the method of curing dead bodies. Do you know how to guide it specifically?"

"I don't know." Du Wenhao said casually.

"Seeing that you are a righteous person, I will tell you. You have to knock your teeth two or seven times, breathe out two or seven times, and do three hundred exercises repeatedly. It will be enough if you do it for 20 days. Remember?"

"remember!"

"Okay, let's go and drink!"

Du Wenhao smiled wryly: "I forgot just now, I have class in the afternoon, and I can't drink alcohol, otherwise I won't be able to attend the class. So, I'm sorry." Du Wenhao took out the money bag from his arms, and took out a piece of broken silver, which was worth a couple of dollars. Too much, stuffed into the rosacea: "Here, I'll give you the money for the drink, this time you go by yourself, let's drink again next time we have a chance."

When Jiuxuan saw the piece of silver, his eyes lit up immediately, his saliva almost didn't drip down, and he said embarrassingly, "That..., how embarrassing that is." As he said that, he stretched out his hand and took the piece of silver, "Then I thank you! You are busy, I will buy you a drink another day!" Standing up, patted his buttocks, hummed a little song and staggered away.

Du Wenhao continued to sit on the floor of Zhenbao Pavilion, holding those books and flipping through them one by one.

At this moment, a person came in hurriedly outside the door, it was Pan Juanju, who saw Du Wenhao, with a happy face, stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Du!"

Du Wenhao looked back: "My lord, what's the matter?"

"Well, that's how it is. The imperial decree came from the palace, asking Mr. Tiju to enter the palace immediately. I heard that the illnesses of the concubines and princes in the palace are troublesome. I ask Mr. Tiju to consult and treat them. I'm afraid there will be no I won’t be back for three to five days. Mr. Tiju has already told him that he wants to attend your class. In order not to make Mr. Tiju feel regretful, we have adjusted your class to a later date. When Mr. Tiju comes back, the details I'll let you know when it's time, do you think it's okay?"

Du Wenhao nodded and said: "Okay, I just didn't sleep well last night, and I just squinted for a while at dawn. I spent all this morning here, and I don't have time to sleep. The lecture effect may not be good. Now adjust That would be all the better. I'll be on notice."

"Hehe, then it's settled. By the way, sir, will there be any gains from checking the corpse disease?"

Du Wenhao shook his head: "There are only symptoms, and the prescriptions are either absent or obviously outrageous. There is no clue yet."

"Yeah, don't worry, this disease is terminally ill, take your time."

"I want to borrow these books and study them slowly, okay?"

"Of course, you can borrow it at will. If you can find an effective prescription, it will be a pioneering work, and it will definitely cause a sensation in the capital!"

Du Wenhao smiled wryly, but he had no idea in his heart.

--------------------------
There is a huge pond in the west of the capital city. In early summer, when the lotus flowers are in full bloom, the owner of the pond gave this pond an elegant name, Youyuan.Probably hope that a pool of lotus flowers will fill the garden with fragrance.

Youyuan is planted by a family named Li Liang. The Li family is the tenant of Youyuan, and the family has planted this pond for three generations.Although life is not rich, fortunately, the owner of Youyuan is honest and kind-hearted, and he is not harsh on his servants, so the life of this family is quite decent.

Du Wenhao came back from the imperial hospital on a donkey, passed by Youyuan, saw the fragrant and pleasant pond, he couldn't help admiring it, he was so excited, he simply found a gazebo and sat down.

An old man passed by with a hoe on his shoulder, as if he had just left for work. He saw someone sitting in the gazebo, squinted his eyes, and suddenly grinned, stroking his gray beard and walking forward: " Is it Dr. Du from Wuweitang?"

Du Wenhao turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw a benevolent old man in simple clothes, standing barefoot outside the pavilion, looking at him with a smile, and hurriedly got up to salute: "This junior is right."

Seeing that Du Wenhao was so polite, the old man even gave him a gift, so he quickly put down the hoe in his hand, stepped forward and said, "Dr. It's gone."

Du Wenhao smiled, and said: "You and I are people who rely on our hands to eat. Besides, you are my elder, so you should salute."

The old man smiled and said with great emotion: "I have long heard that Dr. Du of Wuweitang has superb medical skills. Today I see him, but he turns out to be a young man who knows both books and etiquette. I really admire him."

"Old man, you are polite."

The old man seemed to have something to say, but he still held back his words. Du Wenhao saw that the old man had a look of embarrassment on his face. He must have something to ask for himself, so he said: "Old man, is there someone in the family who is sick and needs help from the younger generation?" ?”

"Hehe...hehe, no...no, Mr. rest, and the young one will go ahead." The old man laughed a few times, and was about to leave with his hoe on his shoulder.

Du Wenhao said: "If the old man needs my help, just start, you are welcome."

Seeing Du Wenhao's sincerity, the old man said, "The youngest is Li Liang. My daughter-in-law gave birth to a son a few months ago, but after giving birth, she suffered from heart and stomach pains, shortness of breath, and dry mouth. , and a son and a daughter, alas, it is a big deal for us people to lose a pair of hands, alas! You doctors treat the rich, how can we hire them?"

Du Wenhao understood, and said with relief: "Don't worry, old people. I don't charge outpatient fees for poor people. Let me see your daughter-in-law's condition first."

Upon hearing this, Li Liang said gratefully, "Dr. Du, thank you so much, but..."

Du Wenhao got up and carried his medicine box, and said: "Okay, don't be too late, let's go, Uncle Li, it's getting late, I can go home after I go to your house to see."
