Longevity starts with learning

Nanshan Town is not big to begin with. In the bandit suppression, more than a hundred patrol officers were killed or wounded. In the past few days, funerals have almost never stopped in the entire Nanshan Town.

Walking on the street, every household has white banners, mourning halls, paper money everywhere, and people in mourning are everywhere.

Even though his hands are stained with blood and he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods.

But at this dark time, Chu Mu couldn't help but feel a little scared by such a gloomy scene.

Subconsciously, Chu Mu's pace also accelerated a lot.

About a moment later, Chu Mu arrived at the destination of this trip.

The only pharmacy in the town is also the location of the only doctor in the town... "Mingxin Hall!"

The reason for coming here is similar to his night study in the private school.

The high price of one hundred silver coins was exchanged for Doctor Li's teachings on meridians and acupoints.

Even with Chu Mu's much more than average monthly salary, if you don't count the black money, it would take nearly a year to save up a hundred silver coins!

If you count the expenses, it may take two or three years to save up this money!

There is no doubt that the price of knowledge...is once again frighteningly high!

According to Doctor Li, practicing martial arts is a way to transcend the mundane world, and it cannot be measured by money.

A light sentence is a hundred silver coins, and no one can say no.

"Take these books and study them first. If you don't understand anything, ask me again."

Entering the pharmacy, Mr. Li picked up a few thick books from the table and handed them to Chu Mu.

After Chu Mu took them, Mr. Li pointed to the side room: "That room is quiet and no one will disturb you. You can go there to read."

Chu Mu glanced at the thick stack of books in his hand. The titles of the books clearly explained the contents of these books.

A book of meridian acupoints, a book of five internal organs, a book of bone correction illustrations, and a book of Sanbao Neijing, a total of four books.

Chu Mu's eyes passed over the first three books and finally fixed on the fourth Sanbao Neijing.

The first three books, you can undoubtedly know what the content is by looking at the title, but this "Sanbao Neijing" is undoubtedly a bit confusing to Chu Mu.

What are the three treasures?

Chu Mu was puzzled, but the first page of the opening made Chu Mu instantly understand.

The so-called three treasures obviously refer to the three treasures of "essence, energy and spirit" in the human body!

Chu Mu slowly flipped through the pages and slowly immersed himself in the world of the book.

There are many nouns, adjectives, and even a considerable number of words and phrases, which Chu Mu has a little understanding of, and even obscure.

But just like Chinese characters, a small part of the meaning of the words is not understood, and it does not affect the reading.

Of course, this is just a rough flip. If you want to study it carefully, Chu Mu estimates that you still have to study it carefully.

The Three Treasures Internal Classic is not thick, only a dozen pages, and Chu Mu flipped through it in a short while.

Perhaps it is because the essence, energy and spirit are too mysterious. The descriptions of the essence, energy and spirit in the book are extremely brief and mysterious, and have a sense of mystery.

After a rough flip through, Chu Mu still finds it difficult to form an effective concept.

After closing the cover, Chu Mu did not think about it carefully. The description of the essence, energy and spirit is obviously beyond his knowledge. It is better to wait for Mr. Li to solve the puzzle.

Chu Mu turned his eyes and looked at the other three books. Compared with the thin Three Treasures Internal Classic, the other three books are undoubtedly much thicker.

Each volume is at least an inch thick.

Picking up a volume of the Five Internal Organs Illustrated and flipping through it, Chu Mu's expression obviously changed a little when he saw the first page.

After a rough flip through, Chu Mu picked up the other two books and flipped through them quickly.

Finally, after closing the book, Chu Mu could not hide his doubts between his eyebrows.

According to his impression of medicine in this era, he thought that these books would be more inclined to mysterious theories, such as Yin Yang and Five Elements, corresponding to the human body and so on.

But among these four books, except for the Three Treasures Internal Classic that he still found difficult to understand, the other three books, whether it is the illustrations of meridians and acupoints, or the illustrations of bone correction, or the illustrations of the five internal organs!

Although the overall theory is Yin Yang and Five Elements, the content is obviously more practical.

So practical... Chu Mu even felt like he was reading a book on anatomy in his previous life!

Meridians, acupoints, bones, organs...

The structure of the human body is described in detail with pictures and texts in these three books.

If it is said that there is no experience in large-scale human dissection, it can be described so detailed, Chu Mu would never believe it.

But... in this era, large-scale human dissection?

This is undoubtedly a bit absurd.

Looking at the four books on the table, Chu Mu seemed to be a little difficult to calm down.

Many doubts in the past also emerged in his mind again with the impact of these four books.

The production process of banknotes that is not in line with the times, the ore surrender that is not in line with common sense, and the medicine that is not in line with the moral ethics of the times...

Everything seems to be normal with a hint of weirdness.

Chu Mu picked up the four books on the table and walked towards the outer hall.

"If you want to ask the source of the content in this book..."

Before Chu Mu had time to ask, Old Li spoke without raising his head.

"These books were passed down by my master. I don't know the specific source."

"When I was young, I traveled everywhere. These books were widely circulated in the hands of doctors in various places. They are not some family traditions that are not passed down to outsiders..."

"I think it should be written by the predecessors, but it has been a long time, and I don't know which great doctor it was."

Mr. Li's tone seemed to be one of admiration, and his eyes, which were already a bit candlelit, revealed a bit of yearning.

"Doctors are supposed to be like this. There are too many rules and too many concerns, which actually restricts them."

Chu Mu did not answer, but waited for Mr. Li to finish his emotion before he said, "Excuse me, Mr. Li, to explain the Three Treasures Internal Classic to the younger generation."

"The theory of the three treasures of human beings, essence, energy and spirit, has been circulated for a long time, but the mystery of it cannot be understood by an old man."

Mr. Li stood up, took the Three Treasures Inner Canon from Chu Mu's hand, and said again: "This Three Treasures Inner Canon, in my opinion, contains quite a few errors."

"But... the mysteries of the Three Treasures cannot be fully understood. People must have different opinions. Just listen to my opinion and don't believe it."

Chu Mu nodded and looked a little more solemn: "Junior understands, please explain it to Mr. Li."

"It is said that when a person is born, he becomes a spirit first."

"The essence refers to the kidneys. According to the number of yin and yang and the five elements, the kidneys govern water and are also blood. They receive the essence of the five internal organs and store it."

"According to my understanding, essence refers to the source of human survival... We usually eat meat and vegetables in our three meals, which is also to absorb the essence of foreign objects and replenish the essence of the human body..."

"With sufficient essence, a person is strong and free from all kinds of diseases. If essence is exhausted, a person is plagued by all kinds of diseases and his life is short."

"The essence of a person is one of innate nature and the other of acquired nature."

"The so-called innate is just like some people are born with supernatural powers and strong bodies, while some are born with weak bodies. That's it."

"The so-called day after tomorrow means..."

Speaking of this, Mr. Li looked at Chu Mu: "It's just like Brother Mu. He used to be weak and sick. Recently, he has been practicing martial arts hard and tempering his body. His body is strong, and his body's essence will naturally increase..."

"When you formally come into contact with martial arts and effectively temper your body, your body's essence will naturally become stronger."
