Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 48 Anatomy in another world?

Nanshan Town was not big in the first place, and there were more than a hundred patrol casualties during the bandit suppression. In the past few days, the entire Nanshan Town had almost never stopped funerals.

Walking on the street, you can see white flags everywhere, mourning halls set up, paper money everywhere, and people in linen and mourning are all in sight.

Rao has blood on his hands, and he doesn't really believe in ghosts and gods.

But in this dark hour, with such a gloomy scene everywhere, Chu Mu couldn't help feeling a little panicked.

Subconsciously, Chu Mu also quickened his pace a lot.

After about a moment, Chu Mu arrived at the destination of the trip.

The only medicine hall in the town, and the only doctor's place in the town... "Mingxintang!"

The reason for coming here is similar to that of his night reading in private school.

The high price of Baiyin was exchanged for Dr. Li's teaching on meridians and acupoints.

The money of a hundred silver, even if compared with Chu Mu's monthly salary, which is far more than enough, if black money is not counted, it will take nearly a year to accumulate!
If you count the expenses, you may not be able to save this money in two or three years!
There is no doubt that the price of knowledge is ... once again frighteningly high!

According to what Dr. Li said, practicing martial arts is an extraordinary way, how can it be measured by money.

A light word is worth a hundred silver dollars, and no one can say no.

"First take these books and study them. If there is anything you don't understand, then ask me."

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

After Chu Mu took it, Mr. Li pointed to the side room: "That room is quiet and no one disturbs you, so you can go there and read."

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

A volume of illustrations of meridians and acupoints, a volume of illustrations of the five viscera, a volume of illustrations of bone setting, and a volume of the Three Treasures Internal Classic, a total of four books.

Chu Mu's eyes skipped the first three books, and finally settled on the fourth book of Three Treasures of Internal Medicine.

For the first three books, one can undoubtedly know what the content is by looking at the title of the book, but this "Three Treasures of Internal Medicine" is undoubtedly a bit foggy for Chu Mu.

What are the three treasures?

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

The so-called three treasures obviously refer to the three treasures of the human body's "vitality, energy and spirit"!
Chu Mu slowly flipped through the pages, and slowly immersed himself in the world of the book.

Among them, there are quite a few nouns, adjectives, and even the meaning of a considerable part of the words, which Chu Mu has a little understanding of, and even obscure.

But just like Chinese characters, a small number of words do not make sense, and it does not affect reading very much.

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

The Three Treasures Internal Classic is not very thick, but only a dozen or so pages. In a short while, Chu Mu read through it.

Perhaps it is a matter of the spirit being too mysterious. The descriptions of the spirit in the book are extremely brief and abstruse, with a somewhat mysterious feeling.

After a cursory review, it is difficult for Chu Mu to form an effective concept.

After closing the cover, Chu Mu didn't think about it carefully. The description of spirit and energy was obviously beyond his knowledge, so it's better to wait for Mr. Li to clear up the confusion.

Turning his gaze away, Chu Mu also looked at the other three books. Compared with the thin volume of the Three Treasures Internal Classic, the other three books are undoubtedly much thicker.

Each volume is at least an inch thick.

He casually picked up a book of illustrations of the five viscera, and flipped through it. On the first page, Chu Mu's expression obviously changed a little.

After flipping through them roughly, Chu Mu picked up the other two books and flipped through them quickly.

In the end, when he closed the book, Chu Mu couldn't hide his surprise.

According to his impression of medicine in this era, he thought that these few books would be more esoteric theories, such as yin and yang and five elements, corresponding to the human body and so on.

But these four books, except for the Three Treasures Nei Jing, which he still had trouble understanding, the other three volumes, whether it was diagrams of meridians and acupoints, diagrams of bone setting, diagrams of five internal organs!
Although its overall theory is Yin Yang and Five Elements, its content is obviously more practical.

Actually... Chu Mu even felt as if he was reading an anatomy book from his previous life!

Meridians, acupuncture points, 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 anatomy, and it can be described in such detail, Chu Mu would not believe it.

But... In this era, large-scale human anatomy?

This is undoubtedly a bit far-fetched.

Looking at the four books on the table, Chu Mu seemed a little restless.

With the impact of these four books, many doubts in the past came to mind again.

The banknote production technology that does not conform to the times, the ore handover that does not conform to common sense, and the medicine that does not conform to 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, Mr. Li didn't raise his head and made a sound.

"These books are all handed down by the old master, and the specific source is not clear to the old man."

"I used to travel around when I was young, and these books were widely circulated in the hands of doctors from all over the place. It is not a family tradition that is not passed on..."

"I think it should be written by a predecessor, but it's been a long time, and I don't know which great doctor it is."

Li Lao's tone seemed to be quite admirable, and his eyes, which were already somewhat candlelit, revealed a bit of yearning.

"Doctor, it should be like this. There are too many rules and worries, but it is restraint."

Chu Mu didn't answer, but waited for Elder Li to finish his emotion, before he said, "Please trouble Elder Li to explain the Three Treasures Internal Classic to the younger generation."

"The theory of the three treasures of man, the spirit, energy and spirit, has been passed down for a long time, and the mystery in it is not something that the old can see through."

Mr. Li got up, took the Three Treasures Internal Canon from Chu Mu's hand, and said again: "In my opinion, there are quite some mistakes in this Three Treasures Internal Canon."

"But...the Three Treasures are mysterious, and you can't see the whole picture. Everyone must have their own opinions. You just listen to the old man's opinion, and don't be partial to it."

Chu Mu nodded, and his expression became a little more solemn: "This junior understands, please explain to Mr. Li."

"The so-called human beings are born first, they first become refined."

"The essence refers to the kidney. According to the number of yin and yang and five elements, the kidney governs water and also blood. It is stored by the essence of the internal organs."

"According to the old man's understanding, essence refers to the source of human survival... We usually eat three meals a day, eating meat and vegetables, which is also the essence of absorbing foreign things and replenishing the essence of the human body..."

"Sufficient essence makes a person strong and free from all kinds of diseases. If the essence is exhausted, a person is riddled with all kinds of diseases and dies soon."

"The essence of human beings, one is innate, and the other is acquired."

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

"The day after tomorrow refers to..."

Speaking of this, Mr. Li looked at Chu Mu: "It's like little brother Mu. He was weak and sick before, but recently he has practiced martial arts hard, tempered his body, and his body is strong, and the essence of the human body will naturally increase..."

"When you officially come into contact with martial arts and effectively temper your body, the essence of your body will naturally become stronger."
