Chapter 52 Qi Refining Technique

……

With Ping Yi Zhi's treatment, Ma Wu was able to walk soon.

According to him, as long as four days of treatment are given, the disease will be completely stabilized. After that, as long as he stops using force and takes medicine on time, there will be no recurrence.

During this period, Yu Liang would naturally not miss the opportunity to seek advice from this famous doctor.

Ping Yizhi is also happy to explore medical skills with Yu Liang, and he is particularly interested in Yu Liang's "sound therapy" on Ma Wu.

"The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic says: All diseases arise from Qi and stop from sound!"

“Many diseases are caused by poor Qi or disorders in the human body!

Among the five tones: Jiao, Zheng, Gong, Shang, and Yu, they respectively correspond to the five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water; they also correspond to the liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys of the human body.

The five tones can regulate the Qi of the five internal organs, interact with, promote, and harmonize with the five internal organs..."

Hearing Ping Yizhi discussing music with Yu Liang, Qu Yang also happily participated!
Yu Liang benefited a lot from debating with these two people!

The Five Elements Theory is the crystallization of the wisdom of our ancestors. It discusses the principles of mutual generation and restraint between heaven and earth and all things in a simple way.

In medical science, the relationship between the five elements is used to describe the relationship between the five internal organs of the human body!
In music theory, the five elements are also used to describe the five tones of heaven and earth!
Horn belongs to wood: comfortable and clear, sometimes clear and sometimes turbid, hair grows like wood.

Micro fire: ups and downs, ups and downs, joyful as fire

The palace belongs to earth: the melody is peaceful, solemn and majestic, and as honest as earth.

Shang belongs to gold: high-pitched, sad, solemn and loud, sonorous like gold.

Feather belongs to water: cool and distant, ancient well with smooth waves, quiet and soft as water.

Heaven and man are one, all things grow, and the movement of the human body is coordinated with the movement of heaven and earth.

Therefore, medical treatment is not to treat headaches in the head or foot pains, but to integrate the symptoms into the overall operation, find out where the Qi movement is wrong, and then adjust and treat it.

In Hiraichi's discussion, he also mentioned the relationship between the heavenly stems and earthly branches and medical science!
The heavenly stems are the Qi, and the earthly branches are the shapes!
Heavenly stems: A, B, C, D, E, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Kui!

A and B belong to wood, Bing and Ding belong to fire, Wu and Ji belong to earth, Geng and Xin belong to metal, and Ren and Gui belong to water.

A is the gallbladder, B is the liver, C is the small intestine, Ding is the heart, E is the stomach, Ji is the spleen, Geng is the large intestine, Xin is the lungs, Ren is the bladder, and Gui is the kidneys.

Earthly branches: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai.

Yinmao is wood, Siwu is fire, Shenyou is gold, Haizi is water, Chenxu Chouwei is earth!

Yin is the gallbladder, Mao is the liver, Si is the small intestine, Wu is the heart, Chenxu is the stomach, Chouwei is the spleen, Shen is the large intestine, You is the lung, Hai is the bladder, and Zi is the kidney.

……

As he listened, an idea suddenly came to Yu Liang's mind.

He hurriedly asked Qu Yang: "Brother Qu, did you not throw away those bamboo slips you dug out from the tomb?"

Qu Yang was confused. Although he didn't know why Yu Liang suddenly asked this question, he still answered truthfully: "How could I throw it away?"

“Even if I don’t understand the content and it’s not the music I wanted, it’s still a relic left by our ancestors.”

"Can you let me see it?"

Hearing Yu Liang's request, Qu Yang laughed: "Since Brother Yu is interested, I will give them all to you!"

"Thank you!" Yu Liang said in return, cupping his fists.

Four days passed quickly.

After the treatment, Ping Yi Zhi left the place.

Ma Wu and Yu Liang, no longer staying any longer, bid farewell to Qu Yang and embarked on their way home.When they came, they were one person and one horse, but when they left, there were two extra carriages.

Stacked inside are all bamboo slips presented to Yu Liang by Qu Yang.

Master Ma Wu was sitting in front, raising his whip and driving the carriage slowly.

Yu Liang got into the carriage and looked through the bamboo slips one by one, as if he was looking for something.

"found it!"

Yu Liang held a bamboo slip in his hand with the words "A, B, C, and D" written on the heavenly stems and earthly branches, with a smile on his lips.

Run your fingers over the inscriptions and read them carefully from beginning to end.

The yin and yang and the five elements, the five internal organs of the human body, the five tones and the six rhythms are correspondingly brought into the heavenly stems and earthly branches carved on the bamboo slips.

In the end, I actually came up with an incomplete Qi Refining Technique! '

Ma De, these ancient people were really free, couldn't they carve seals well?

We have to let future generations rack their brains to guess!
If it hadn't been for the trip to Dongting Lake with Qu Yang, it would have been boring to stay in the carriage and take a few more glances at the bamboo slips in the box, and I would have missed this treasure today.

It was proved that the contents on the bamboo slips were exactly as he had guessed, and Yu Liang couldn't help laughing happily.

"Ha~ha~ha!"

Hearing the sound, Master Ma Wu poked his head in and asked doubtfully: "What are you so happy about?"

Holding up the bamboo slip in his hand, Yu Liang said excitedly: "Master, I have deciphered the content of the seals carved by the ancients!"

"Oh? What is it?" Ma Wu asked disapprovingly.

"Qi refining technique!"

call ~
Hearing these three words, Ma Wu pulled the carriage to a stop, then got into the carriage and asked again: "What do you think this is?"

Yu Liang smiled slightly and replied again: "Qi refining!"

Qi refining is a method used by Qi refiners before the Qin and Han Dynasties to cultivate immortality. Ancient books record that this technique can enhance physical fitness and prolong life.

This thing has been lost a long time ago!
Ma Wu took the bamboo slip and opened it, and found that he couldn't understand the messy content at all, so he asked again: "Disciple, are you sure this is a qi training technique?"

"Ok!"

Yu Liang nodded and explained: "Master, the ancients encrypted the content on this bamboo slip. Only by cracking the code can we understand what he left behind."

Pointing to the inscriptions on it, he continued to explain: "Master, please see, it is all about the heavenly stems and earthly branches. If we put the corresponding yin and yang, five elements, five internal organs, five tones and six laws into it, we can decipher its true content. !”

"An article called 'Five Yuan Qi Transformation Technique'!"

After hearing the explanation, Ma Wu didn't know why, but he urged Yu Liang and said, "Disciple, since you can understand it, then quickly describe the content of the Qi refining technique to my master!"

Yu Liang shook his head slightly: "Master, if you want to practice, I'm afraid it won't work!"

"This Qi Training Technique is just a fragment. It only contains the content of 'Five Elements Returning to One' at the end, and there is no introductory and middle chapters!"

Hearing this, Ma Wu hurriedly said: "Then look for it again. With so many bamboo slips, there must be other parts inside."

Ah!
Yu Liang nodded, and then began to rummage. Master Ma Wu was also helping.

Seeing that he acted rudely and put aside the bamboo slips that were not inscribed with the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, Yu Liang immediately said: "Master, be careful, these bamboo slips are very valuable!"

Ma Wu heard the sound and realized that his actions were too hasty, and then he slowly started rummaging around.
