Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 11
After a while, Huide came back panting. He took the silver needle and handed it to Wang Ping'an.Wang Pingan opened the small box containing the silver needles, and secretly praised them. This pair of silver needles is extremely exquisitely handcrafted. Even in modern times, they are still first-class needles.

Wang Pingan said: "This set of needles is pretty good, does the host often use needles for people?"

Huide shook his head and said: "The poor monk doesn't know how to use needles. This set of needles was passed down from the ancestors of the poor temple, but now no one in the temple knows how to use them. They are only enshrined in front of the portraits of the ancestors on weekdays."

Wang Pingan snorted, thinking: "It's good if you don't understand." He said solemnly: "Master, the thing is like this, although Master Huizheng's illness can be cured quickly, but the danger is great. Righteous master will die, before using the needle, I have to explain this to you, don’t blame me for any accident.”

Huide was taken aback, touched his shiny bald head, and asked: "Then is there any other way, can't it be done without needles?"

Wang Pingan shook his head and said, "Other than this, there is no other way to cure Master Huizheng's deafness. I'm afraid he will remain deaf for the rest of his life."

Huide said with a bitter face: "It's better to be deaf than dead. Although monks don't value this stinky skin, it may be good to light up a few more ever-bright lamps for the Buddha in the mortal world."

Yang Shi and Ding Danruo looked at each other and smiled, thinking in their hearts: "If you scare, you will be scared. It's really interesting to see this fat monk make trouble."

Yang looked at Wang Ping'an, pouted at Hui Zheng who was sitting on the ground, and signaled his son to scare this handsome young monk again.

Wang Pingan sat down, picked up a pen and wrote on the paper: "Before getting sick, did you drink unboiled water, and could you sleep on a cold floor?" Then he pushed Huizheng.

Huizheng opened his eyes, saw the words on the paper, and nodded slightly.He came to Xuzhou all the way from Chang'an, and it was a long journey, so it was naturally hard work, he had experienced both.

Wang Pingan also wrote: "The same is true for poor people, so your disease is very common in the north, but it is difficult to cure. I have found a cure and want to try it on you. If it works, it will cure many people in the future." , if it doesn’t work, you may die on the spot.” He read out while writing.

Huide anxiously said from the side: "Little benefactor Wang, if you ask the law like this, my junior brother will definitely agree. If this method doesn't work, it won't kill him!"

Yang Shi and Ding Danruo watched happily from the sidelines, they both wanted to see how Huizheng refused, even if Huizheng didn't refuse, then the expression on his face when he agreed must be funny, Zhengke could make them smile.The two women, the old and the young, really wanted to see the embarrassed expression of the handsome little monk!
Unexpectedly, after Huizheng read the text, he recited the Buddha's name and said: "Zheng and the meaning of the little monk, if the life of the little monk can save the people from disease, why is the little monk reluctant to give up this mere life? Please Wang Benefactor to use medical skills!" His face was peaceful, without any embarrassment.

Wang Pingan looked at Yang Shi, the old lady Yang nodded her head, her affection for this handsome monk increased greatly, while Ding Danruo blinked her big eyes, showing admiration.

Wang Ping'an suddenly smiled and said, "Fortunately, Master Huizheng is a monk, otherwise I would have to worry about the hearts of many young girls!"

Ding Danruo's face turned red immediately, she didn't have any thoughts about Huizheng, she just thought that this monk was kind-hearted and worthy of respect, but when the young master told her, she became a young girl of Huaichun.The little girl was embarrassed, so she blushed.

But Huide said in the sidelines: "Absolutely not, absolutely not. Little Benefactor Wang, my junior brother will be in charge of the Lingling Temple in the capital in the future. If he has an accident at the poor monk, how do you ask me to ask my uncle?" Tell me, uncles!"

Wang Pingan ignored him, picked up a Buddhist scripture from the table, and signaled Huizheng to bite it.Huizheng shook his head and refused, and refused to bite the Buddhist scriptures, Wang Pingan had no choice but to write: "If I want to perform acupuncture, I need to hold something in your mouth." If you don't want to bite the book, you can't bite the inkstone. Give it a bang.

He had no choice but to take a few extra sheets of writing paper, fold them thick and let Huizheng bite them, and then bake the silver needles with a candle for disinfection, thinking to himself: "When I go back, I have to prepare some disinfectant, Otherwise, if you use needles in the future, you will inevitably get infected!"

Let Huizheng's whole body relax, and he pricked Huizheng's Tinggong acupoint first with a silver needle, and pierced both acupoints.Tinggong point is located on the face, in front of the tragus, behind the condyle of the mandible, in a depression when the mouth is opened, so it is not difficult to find.Tinggong acupoint is mainly used to treat deafness. It is the meeting of brothers Shaoyang and hand Taiyang.

Prick Haotinggong acupoint, then Tinghui acupoint.Tinghui Point is located in front of the intertragus notch, on the posterior edge of the mandibular condyle, where there is a depression when the mouth is opened.Here is the great auricular nerve, which is also used to treat deafness.In modern clinical practice, this point is generally used to treat deafness, otitis media, and facial paralysis.

While using the needle, Wang Pingan closely observed Huizheng's expression, and used Huizheng's expression to judge whether he was using the needle correctly.

For a good doctor, when the needle penetrates the patient's body, whether it hurts or not, it is a mistake, and it is a sign of poor medical skills.The standard for qualified acupuncture is to make the patient feel soreness, numbness, swelling, or heaviness in the local area. This feeling does not exist in the patient's epidermis, but comes from the place where the needle tip touches. This feeling is very important. comfortable.

Huizheng's expression was a little numb, but there was no look of pain in his eyes, nor the look of feeling nothing at all, on the contrary, there was a sense of comfort.Wang Pingan understood that the stab was in place.

After piercing the two points, Wang Pingan pierced the Yifeng point again. The Yifeng point is located at the root of the ear lobe, in the depression between the mastoid process of the temporal bone and the posterior edge of the mandibular rami.Acupuncture at this acupoint is quite special, as it can treat both deafness and dumbness. For example, it can be pierced inwardly and upwardly for deafness, and inwardly downwardly for treating dumb. Wang Ping’an’s acupuncture is inwardly upward.

After finishing the stabbing, after a short pause, Wang Pingan raised the needle and pushed the stabs out one by one, saying: "Okay, take the paper out of your mouth, you drool so much that the paper is wet!"

Huizheng obediently took the paper out of his mouth, and seeing that it was almost completely wet, he said with a little embarrassment: "Young monk can't bear it, luckily the saliva is not wet yet!"

"Ah, Junior Brother, can you hear the voice now!?" Huide shouted loudly, both surprised and happy. He was worried just now. He was really afraid that something might happen to Wang Ping'an with the needle, although he had hoped that Huizheng's deafness could be cured. , but never thought it would be so soon.From Wang Pingan using the needle to Huizheng speaking, it really only took a quarter of an hour!

Huizheng was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he didn't really hear the voice. He reached out to touch his ear, with a smile on his face!
Yang was overjoyed, she clapped her hands and laughed, "My son said it can be cured, so it will be cured naturally, what's so rare about it!"

Ding Danruo's eyes were shining, looking at Wang Ping'an, his little face was full of smiles, the young master is so amazing, he is even more amazing than a genius doctor!
Huide shouted: "Miraculous doctor, miraculous doctor!"

Although Huizheng didn't take the cure of deafness as a big deal, he was happy to be able to hear the voice. He recited Amitabha Buddha and said, "This is not a disease, my little monk, but because of my dishonesty in serving the Buddha. The little monk has regained his hearing, so he must be someone who has a connection with the Buddha. I don’t know if the king’s benefactor has the intention of taking refuge in my Buddha, but the little monk is willing to do..."

Yang's face darkened immediately, and he reprimanded: "Little monk, what nonsense are you talking about? My son just healed your ear, and you urged him to become a monk. If you knew this, you would have been deaf forever!"

Ding Danruo's face collapsed all of a sudden, and his impression of Huizheng changed drastically. No matter how handsome this monk is, and no matter how kind-hearted he is, it is wrong to persuade the young master to become a monk!The little girl and the old lady shared the same hatred and yelled at Huizheng together!
Wang Pingan laughed, shook his head and said, "Wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha keeps it in his heart. If you want to serve the Buddha, you don't have to go out of your home. Well, your deafness has healed, and now you only need a cold. I will prescribe a medicine for you, and one dose will work. , take a few more doses, and the disease will be completely cured.”

As he spoke, he drew up a pen and wrote down the prescriptions, Spring Bupleurum two cents and a half, Dry Scutellaria two cents and a half, Fa Pinellia two cents and a half, Raw licorice one and a half cents, Jingchangpu one and a half cents, and Hosiocarp one and a half cents.After writing it, I handed it to Hui De, and said: "This is the reconciliation prescription, which can cure cold and fever, take the medicine according to the prescription, and give it to Master Huizheng, and the disease will be cured!"

He stood up, patted on the long gown, and went out shaking three times. Ding Danruo supported Yang Shi, one young and one old, followed out proudly.

Huizheng sat on the futon, shook his head again and again, and said, "It's unimaginable that such a person who has the predestined relationship with Buddha would refuse to become a monk, it's unimaginable!"

Huide took the prescription and followed closely behind him, shouting: "Little benefactor Wang, doctor Wang, the poor monk asked the kitchen to tidy up another table and prepare vegetarian food, let's eat some more..."
