Chapter 018 Witchcraft and martial arts
Liu Dacheng's office occupies a whole house on the top floor of Yucheng First People's Hospital next to the Medical College. Standing by the window, you can see the scenic area of Yuhu in the central area of Yucheng, making it an excellent viewing platform.
Just from this office, you can see Liu Dacheng's status in the medical field of Yucheng.
Shi Lei followed Liu Dacheng into the office. Liu Yifang kept holding his hand, but the palms were a little cold and the holding was a little tight, so that his nails were clenched into Shi Lei's flesh. Shi Lei shook his hand, and Liu Yifang turned his head to look at him, smiled apologetically, and let go of his hand.
Liu Dacheng's assistant secretary Liu Jianguo walked in, made three cups of tea, then stepped out, and brought it to the door. Shi Lei noticed that although Liu Jianguo was not as strong as Brother Ma, his steps were very steady and light, and he landed silently, and his eyes were bright. He was probably good at martial arts. But thinking about it, the person who could be a secretary with Liu Dacheng was naturally a close relative of the Liu family. Maybe he still had the responsibility to protect Liu Dacheng, so it was normal to have some martial arts.
"Sit." Liu Dacheng sat down opposite Shi Lei, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of tea.
Shi Lei also took a sip. The tea smell was very light, but it was very comfortable. It was slightly bitter in the mouth. After a moment, there was a faint fragrance.
Liu Yifang didn't drink tea. She leaned on the back of the chair, hugged her arms in front of her chest, crossed her legs, and casually looked at the decorations in the room.
Liu Dacheng pondered for a moment and slowly spoke: "We will continue to talk about the witches after the topic just now."
"Okay." Shi Lei put down the teacup and listened attentively. As a top doctor in the Chinese medical field, Liu Dacheng's class is not so easy to hear, let alone this kind of private conversation.
"I just said that the witch Tao is the general term for the highest academic achievements in ancient times. The content it contains is beyond my reach. I am a researcher of medical skills. From the perspective of the witch doctor, specifically, it is what you mentioned in Zhu Youke."
Liu Dacheng's voice is very nice, thick and full of energy. When he hears it, people feel confident and able to believe what he says. Shi Lei listens carefully, and he also wants to figure out what is going on.
"Zhu Youke is said to be the representative of witch doctors." Liu Dacheng smiled and said: "The whole Chinese medicine is regarded as witchcraft. In ancient times, Chinese people did not regard traditional Chinese medicine as witchcraft, but Zhu Youke is different. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, some people have begun to doubt that after the Ming and Qing Dynasties, they simply disappeared from orthodox medicine and became real witchcraft. In many people's impression, except for those religious activities, only those who go to the world can use it."
"There is a key issue here, that is, Zhu Youke is not effective, whether it is effective or not, first of all, depends on the patient's belief or not, and whether it is sincere or not. This must involve an idealist statement. Therefore, after the founding of the country, Zhu Youke was banned and completely became feudal dregs."
"However, the prohibition is only official. In fact, there are many people who really devote themselves to practicing Zhuyouke, and there are several good realms. Such masters are not a good one at all." Liu Dacheng glanced at Shi Lei and smiled: "So, Zhuyouke has become a medical skill that is well-known to the public and has become a medical skill that only a few powerful people can come into contact with. In fact, Zhuyouke originally represented the highest level of medical skills, so it is also called Tianyi, which is a profound medicine that communicates the world."
"Why?" Liu Dacheng finally asked a question: "Why did the witch doctor represented by Zhu Youke go around in a circle and return to his original status in history?"
Shi Lei was confused, looked at Liu Yifei, and then Liu Dacheng, but he stopped talking.
"You said it doesn't matter if you said it wrong." Liu Dacheng laughed kindly. This was the first time Shi Lei saw him laughing.
"I think it should be that the heights are too cold. Zhu Youke's requirements are too high, and only a few people can achieve it."
Liu Dacheng's eyes flashed and he nodded with a smile.
"Yes, in fact, witch doctors are similar to martial arts. They are both skills that require both talent and hard work. Without talent, it is useless to practice hard. If you have talent and don't work hard, you will not be able to truly master the mystery. Shi Lei, are you interested in martial arts?"
"Of course." When it comes to martial arts, Shi Lei couldn't help but get excited. The most famous cultural symbol of China is probably martial arts, which made Westerners think that all Chinese are martial arts masters. When they went to the park, they saw an old lady who practiced Tai Chi early and came forward to become a disciple. Young people were no exception. They all dreamed of having martial arts and being a hero. Otherwise, how could martial arts be a fairy tale for adults?
"But do you know that there are almost no Chinese people in the world-class free fighting competition."
"Well……"
"The reason is very simple. In terms of height and physique, Orientals have no advantages. In that kind of power-oriented arena, Orientals are inherently disadvantageous." Liu Dacheng smiled slightly: "Although I am not good at martial arts, no foreigner who has fought with me, among the so-called heavyweight boxing champions, can defeat me. They call me the magic hand."
Liu Dacheng showed his palms. His fingers were long, his nails were repaired very regularly, his skin was very shiny, and he could not tell at all that he was old, and he had a bit of an artist's temperament.
"I just need to poke it gently, and it can't move his muscles and bones, so they called me Devil's Hand, the Devil's Hand." Liu Dacheng smiled proudly: "It's actually very simple, it's just a pulse and acupoint in traditional Chinese medicine. And it makes them feel even more magical. No matter how powerful the Western boxing champion is, at my age, he is either dead or demented. Even if he is alive, he has never seen anyone who can compete on stage."
Shi Lei nodded convincingly. In addition to a very small number of sports in the West, most of them are young people's sports, and no one who even goes on stage to practice boxing in his fifties and sixties.
"But in our cultivation system, I have not yet escaped from the level of martial arts, and I have not even reached the fifth level of martial arts."
"How many levels of martial arts are there?"
"If you understand meridians, then you should also understand some of the five elements?"
"Yes."
"The five elements earth, metal, water, wood, fire, earth corresponds to muscles, metal corresponds to skin, water corresponds to bones, wood corresponds to tendons, and heart corresponds to meridians. Practicing muscles, bones and skin externally can only be considered superficial skills, which are often called external skills. Practicing a breath inside is the upper level of skills, which is often called internal skills. Being able to practice meridians means practicing true qi is considered to be the perfect state of internal skills. In this way, one can overcome martial arts and enter the level of cultivation."
"But, isn't it said that you can cultivate internal energy by breathing and breathing?"
"Breathing and breathing is to practice the true nature with falsehood. The internal qi is not the breathing air, but the vitality between heaven and earth." Liu Dacheng picked up a pen from the desk and wrote the word "Qi". His word is very beautiful, and it can be called a silver hook with iron markings and vigorousness. "This is the real qi. Have you seen it? The four dots below are not water, but fire."
"Ordinary fitness methods can only exercise muscles, strengthen bones, and dense skin. At best, Kongwu is powerful, that is, boxers. Of course, these people have no problem dealing with ordinary people, but if they meet real masters, they become targets of flesh. If you want to go further, you have to practice tendons. The tendon we are talking about, including ligaments, but not just ligaments, but more of a periosteum, which is a layer of membrane attached to the surface of the bone. Only by practicing this layer of membrane can you truly enter the realm of martial arts, that is, the realm of internal martial arts."
