Chapter 102: Mafei San and bloodletting therapy

Zhang Wenzhong took out a paper cup from the bag, poured a full cup of brown and black potion from the plastic bottle, and handed it to You Tianhai. "Come on, Grandpa You, drink this cup of medicine."

"What kind of medicine is this?" You Tianhai sniffed the intoxicating fragrance of medicine, couldn't help but feel curious and asked.

"Ma Fei San." Zhang Wenzhong replied calmly, as if what he is talking about now is not a legendary prescription, but just ordinary prescriptions such as Yinqiao Powder and Mahuang Decoction.

"Ma Fei San?!" Except for Sir Eric, all the other three people in the house exclaimed. Su Xiaomei naturally knew the allusion of Ma Fei San, and although You Jia and You Tianhai were not medical practitioners, they had heard of Hua Tuo's story, so they naturally knew the story of Ma Fei San.

This Ma Fei San is the earliest anesthetic drug recorded in historical books. There are related records in "Book of the Later Han Dynasty. Biography of Hua Tuo": "If the patient is dysfunctional and cannot reach the acupuncture and medicine, he will first take Ma Fei San with wine. Since he is drunk, he will not be able to feel anything, and the rice is broken and the back is cut and accumulated."

Unfortunately, with Hua Tuo being executed by Cao Cao, Ma Fei San was burned by the prison guard's wife along with his "Qingnang Jing". After that, although Sun Simiao of the Tang Dynasty also compiled a book "Hua Tuo Shen Fang" and included the formula of Ma Fei San, the anesthesia effect of Ma Fei San is much worse than that recorded in "Book of the Later Han Dynasty. Biography of Hua Tuo". Therefore, later generations often believe that Ma Fei San in "Hua Tuo Shen Fang" should have been created by later generations under the name of Hua Tuo, not the original prescription.

After the initial shock, a trace of worry flashed across Su Xiaomei's face. She said carefully: "Teacher Zhang, did you fry the Mafei Powder recipe recorded in "Hua Tuo Shenfang"? As far as I know, its anesthesia effect is not satisfactory..."

Zhang Wenzhong smiled and shook his head, and replied: "My Mafei Powder was not fried according to the recipe in "Hua Tuo Shenfang", but according to the recipe in "Qingnan Jing"..."

"What... what? "Qing Nang Jing"?" Su Xiaomei opened her mouth wide in shock, and could not believe what she heard. She opened her mouth wide, and after a long time, she said something: "Is there really "Qing Nang Jing" in this world? Isn't this fabricated by the unofficial history of Baiguan? But even if it really exists, it should have been destroyed long ago. Didn't the unofficial history of Baiguan say that the "Qing Nang Jing" was burned by the jailer's wife? Since that's the case, where did you see it from Teacher Zhang?"

Su Xiaomei was right. When Hua Tuo was executed by Cao Cao, he did present the book "Qing Nang Jing" he wrote to the prison guards, hoping that the prison guards could pass on this medical skills so that the world could learn Hua Tuo's medicine. Unfortunately, the prison guard's wife was afraid of being implicated because of this matter, so she burned the precious "Qing Nang Jing" to death.

However, what the world does not know is that when this "Qingnang Sutra" was thrown into the fire by the prisoner's wife, a passing fox demon replaced it with another medical book in time, and thus was preserved. Hundreds of years later, the fox demon found Zhang Wenzhong due to the injury of the tribulation. After Zhang Wenzhong recovered from careful treatment, he presented the "Qingnang Sutra" to him to thank him for his healing grace.

Therefore, Zhang Wenzhong can be regarded as the only person in this world who has read the entire book of "Qingnang Jing"!

"This is a little secret of mine." Zhang Wenzhong smiled at Su Xiaomei and said, "I will not answer these questions before I become my apprentice."

"I must become your apprentice!" Su Xiaomei tightened her fists and sweared secretly. Before this, although she had the idea of ​​taking Zhang Wenzhong as her master, she was not as fierce as she is now.

When she thought of the "Qingnang Jing", Su Xiaomei felt that her heart was as if there were hundreds of claws scratching, which was really painful, which made her even more eager to become Zhang Wenzhong's apprentice.

"Teacher Zhang, Teacher Zhang, you are really a mysterious person. I wonder, besides the Qingnang Jing, how many secrets are there in you?" Su Xiaomei blinked her cute big eyes and stared at Zhang Wenzhong tightly.

At this moment, through the translation explanation, Sir Eric finally understood what Mafei San is and what effect does Mafei San have. He looked at the brown and black medicine in the plastic bottle, then looked at Zhang Wenzhong and You Tianhai, opened his mouth, but did not speak. However, in his heart, he was quite disbelief of it: "Use herbs to cure diseases? This is a method that only doctors in the Middle Ages used and should have been eliminated long ago. As for using herbs to achieve the effect of general anesthesia, it is even more outrageous and incredible. If you can use herbs to general anesthesia just, what should you do with anesthesia?'

"Doctor Xiao Zhang, are you going to anesthetize me?" Compared to Sir Eric's disbelief, You Tianhai is now full of confidence in Zhang Wenzhong and said with a haha: "There is no need to anesthet. I am a person with a strong ability to endure pain. I was on the battlefield back then, and I was also cut out with a knife."

Seeing You Tianhai showing off, You Jia felt a little amused and crying. As soon as this person got older, his personality would really become like a child. She had to persuade: "Grandpa, a hero, don't mention his courage back then, you should listen to Mr. Zhang and drink this bowl of Mafei San."

Zhang Wenzhong also said: "Grandpa You, this bowl of Mafei San is not only to anesthetize you, but also to anesthetize the poison in your body. Only after they are thoroughly anesthetized can they be performed to remove them from your legs." In fact, he didn't say anything. The process of taking out the poison is extremely painful, like a knife cutting through flesh and bones. If you don't take Mafei San, even if you have strong ability to endure the pain, you may not be able to bear it.

You Tianhai suddenly said, "Since it is used to anesthesia, I can only drink it."

You Jia, who was standing beside him, was confused and couldn't help asking: "Grandpa, Mr. Zhang, what are you talking about? What's going on with the poison...?"

Zhang Wenzhong turned around, smiled at her, and said, "Your grandfather's leg disease is not ordinary, it is caused by poisoning. As for what happened, it would be better to let him tell you in person after the operation is completed."

"Okay." Youjia nodded. Although she wanted to know the truth, she also knew very well that surgery on her grandfather is the most important thing now. The doubts in her heart could only be endured.

Just as You Tianhai drank the Ma Fei Powder in the paper cup, Sir Eric's translator was sweating and translating the conversation that Zhang Wenzhong and others had just been talking to him. As for the word "Gu Poison", the translation obviously didn't know what to say. He stammered for a while, and was worried about sweating, but he didn't expect to translate the appropriate English vocabulary.

Ma Fei San takes effect very quickly. About five minutes later, You Tianhai fell into a state of ignorance and deep sleep.

Until now, the translator had not figured out how to translate Gu Poison. In the end, he used the word black magic (witchcraft, black magic) to translate Gu Poison.

"Witchcraft?" A hint of displeasure flashed across Sir Eric's face. In his opinion, medicine should be an extremely rigorous science. How can the patient's disease be explained as 'witchcraft'?

"It seems that this person is not a doctor at all, but a religious liar." Sir Eric said in his heart. But just as he was about to expose Zhang Wenzhong's 'essence', he saw You Tianhai fall into a deep sleep at this time.

"How is this possible?" Sir Eric was shocked. He walked to the bed in two steps and quickly checked You Tianhai's condition. The results of the examination made him unbelievable: "The potion made with herbs actually has the effect of general anesthesia... How is this possible?"

Zhang Wenzhong ignored his shock and said indifferently: "Sir Eric, please let me go, I'm going to start the surgery on Grandpa You."

"Sir Eric, please don't interfere with Mr. Zhang?" Youjia said with a slightly frown. Seeing that this British doctor actually interfered with Zhang Wenzhong's treatment of her grandfather's legs, she was not very polite in her attitude.

"Oh, sorry, sorry." Sir Eric was not angry either. He quickly took a few steps back, opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhang Wenzhong, wanting to record all his every move in his mind. Compared to his initial disdain, he is now full of curiosity and interest in traditional Chinese medicine.

Zhang Wenzhong opened the two needle boxes placed at the head of the bed. In the two needle boxes, the small needle box contained an ordinary silver needle. The large needle box contained nine needles. He first pushed You Tianhai and let him lie on the bed, then pinched eight silver needles and stabbed them into eight acupoints: Zhangmen, Zhongwan, Danzhong, Geshu, Yanglingquan, Taiyuan, Dazhu, and Juegu.

These eight acupoints are the eight acupoints where the essence of the internal organs, viscera, qi, blood, meridians, meridians, bones, and marrow gather. The reason why Zhang Wenzhong first used a silver needle to penetrate these eight acupoints was to play a protective role to protect the internal organs, viscera, qi, blood, meridians, meridians, veins, bones, and marrow.

After that, Zhang Wenzhong walked to the head of the bed and placed his thumbs on You Tianhai's temple, and his index finger and middle finger on the four Shencong acupoints on the top of his head.

Zhang Wenzhong narrowed his eyes slightly, activated the true energy in his body, and sent it into You Tianhai's body.

Su Xiaomei, Youjia and Sir Eric were confused by Zhang Wenzhong's actions, and they didn't understand why he would give You Tianhai a head massage first when he was treating his leg problems. However, because of the amazing effects of Mafei San and because they were afraid that it would disturb Zhang Wenzhong's diagnosis and treatment of You Tianhai, they were confused, but they did not ask.

Zhang Wenzhong controlled the true essence and slowly walked through the meridians in You Tianhai's body, and soon arrived in his legs. Based on this true essence, Zhang Wenzhong could clearly know the situation inside his legs. At this moment, the bamboo shoots hidden in his legs were in a state of sleep because of the decoctions he had taken in the past few days and the effects of Ma Fei San just now.

It's time to start and force the bamboo shoots out of You Tianhai's body!

Zhang Wenzhong suddenly opened his eyes, but his hands were still placed on You Tianhai's temple and Shencong's four acupoints to maintain the ability to input the true energy into You Tianhai's body.

"Little sister, bloodshed from the needle!" Zhang Wenzhong ordered Su Xiaomei.

The so-called forward needle is one of the nine needles, one inch and six minutes long. The needle body is triangular, with mouths on three sides of the tits, which are very sharp and are often used for pricking and bleeding.

The so-called bloodletting therapy is a kind of acupuncture method. The "Inner Canon" is called the spike method. It uses a tip-point needle to pierce the superficial blood vessels according to different conditions, release an appropriate amount of blood, and achieve the purpose of treatment by promoting blood circulation and regulating qi.

"Yes." Su Xiaomei responded and quickly took out the tip needle from the nine-stitch needle box.

"The sea of ​​blood on the left, the dick's nose, the Fenglong on the right, the hanging clock, Kunlun..." Zhang Wenzhong opened his mouth and reported several acupoint names.

Su Xiaomei did not dare to neglect her, so she quickly used a foreshadowing needle to penetrate the acupuncture points mentioned by Zhang Wenzhong to bleed.

"Bloodle therapy?" Seeing Su Xiaomei's actions, Sir Eric looked surprised. Now, he no longer paid attention to his translation. Because this translation obviously does not understand medicine. He doesn't know how to translate many medical terms. Especially the acupoints that Zhang Wenzhong had just been confused. So Sir Eric simply shut up.

In the West, bloodletting therapy was also circulated for a period of time. The tool they used for bloodletting was called the "Lancet". The name of the famous British medical journal "The Lancet" originated from this. However, with the development of modern Western medicine, bloodletting therapy has been abandoned. At this moment, Sir Eric was surprised to see that Zhang Wenzhong and Su Xiaomei actually used bloodletting therapy to treat leg diseases. Because as far as he knew, there were no diseases similar to You Tianhai in the diseases targeted by bloodletting therapy.

However, although Sir Eric was surprised this time, he did not intend to stop Zhang Wenzhong and Su Xiaomei. Because the Mafei San just now had already shocked him. He also wanted to see if China's bloodletting therapy really has magical effects.

At the beginning, dark red blood flowed out from the acupuncture point pierced by the forefront needle. However, as the blood flowed out gradually increased, Su Xiaomei suddenly discovered that some strange things appeared in these acupuncture points.

The insects that seemed to be bamboo sticks were forced out of You Tianhai's body by Zhang Wenzhong's true energy with these dark red blood flowing out of the acupoints.
