Start with a photographic memory and build a memory palace

Chapter 25: Using the body as a palace and setting up a human plate
……

I went to a few more hospitals and treated several patients.

It was not until the evening that Wu Wen and Zhu Jiuye returned home.

I gathered some firewood and built a temporary nest for the puppy.

After that, Wu Wen started to light the fire and cook.

"Master Jiu, the meal is ready!"

The rice was cooked, and Wu Wen shouted loudly, asking Jiu Ye to come and eat.

At the dinner table, Master Jiu held the bowl and sipped from it as usual.

He looked at Wu Wen from time to time, as if he had something to say but was unable to speak.

Wu Wen noticed this abnormality, but he chose to remain silent.

Until the end of the meal, Master Zhu Jiu said nothing, put down the empty bowl, turned around and left.

Night falls.

The lights were turned on in the pharmacy.

Wu Wen lay over the desk, writing furiously.

At this time, Master Zhu Jiu walked into the pharmacy and looked at what Wu Wen was writing. He was afraid of disturbing Wu Wen, so he didn't say anything, but just walked forward to look at what was written on the paper.

Upon discovering that the information recorded above was knowledge from medical books, Master Zhu Jiu's expression instantly became excited.

"Master Jiu, this is a compilation of the contents of all the medical books I have seen. I wrote it down and you can study it slowly when you have time." Wu Wen explained.

"Awen..."

Mr. Zhu Jiu seemed to be hesitant to speak, seeming a little moved.

The content written on this paper is undoubtedly extremely precious for this era.

Knowledge not only represents wealth, but also represents status.

Master Zhu Jiu only learned a little bit of knowledge about medicinal materials, but he was able to have enough food and drink and was respected by others.

"As a master, I don't have any real skills to teach you. Instead, I have to let you, a disciple, teach me... Alas!" Master Zhu Jiu sighed.

"Master Jiu, what's this? You saved my life. If you hadn't saved me and taken me in, I would be wandering somewhere now. How could I have such a good life now?"

Wu Wen said with a smile, and then continued to write quickly.

Master Zhu Jiu was holding a lamp beside him, and even breathed carefully so as not to disturb him, while silently watching what he wrote.

All night long, until dawn.

Although Wu Wen has not yet written down all the medical books he has read, these things are enough for Zhu Jiuye to study for a long time.

"oops!"

Wu Wen shook his stiff arms, straightened his back, stretched his body, and said to Master Zhu Jiu who was still looking down, "Master Jiu, go and have a rest first. You can take your time to look at these things."

But Master Zhu Jiu was obviously still excited at the moment, and waved his hand at Wu Wen: "You go and have a rest, I'll watch for a while."

Knowing that persuasion was useless, Wu Wen ignored him and went back to his room to sleep.

Wu Wen slept until noon. When he got up and went to the pharmacy, he found that Master Zhu Jiu was still watching there.

He came to the kitchen, lit the fire and cooked. After the meal was ready, he came to Master Zhu Jiu and said, "Master Jiu, let's eat!"

"Okay, put it down first, I'll eat it later." Master Zhu Jiu said without even raising his head.

Seeing him like this, Wu Wen truly experienced what it meant to work day and night without sleep.

soon.

Wu Wen has been in Zhujia Village for three days.

It's time to return to Chang'an City.

"Awen, when you go to the East Palace, you must study hard and show your abilities. Don't let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince down."

When Wu Wen was about to leave, Master Zhu Jiu did not forget to give him some instructions.

"I understand all this, don't worry." Wu Wen agreed.

"Master Jiu, when I'm not around, you should take care of yourself and remember to eat on time."

Woof~Woof~
The little yellow dog brought back from Wu Laogou's house has become familiar with Wu Wen in the past few days. When it saw that he was about to leave, it barked at him.

"Xiao Huang, remember your duties and take good care of the house."

Woof~Woof~ The little yellow dog barked twice again.

"Master Jiu, I'm leaving now. I'll be back in a few days."

After saying this, Wu Wen left Zhujia Village and headed for Chang'an City.

The East Palace Library.

When Li Chunfeng saw him coming back, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is it? Does your master, the doctor, agree to let you become my disciple?"

Wu Wen nodded.

He had mentioned this matter to Master Jiu before, and Master Jiu had been very supportive at the time. He believed that it was an honor for Wu Wen to be noticed by Lord Li Chunfeng and that he must not miss the opportunity.

"So good."

Li Chunfeng laughed and pulled Wu Wen to the fourth-floor attic.

The purpose was not to teach Wu Wen anything, but to let him continue reading.

The difference from before is that now he is sitting with him, and if Wu Wen encounters any problems, he can ask him at any time.

Unknowingly.

A month passed quietly.

As agreed before, Wu Wen went to the blacksmith's department to retrieve the items he had customized.

“Is my stuff ready?”

"It's already been prepared, just waiting for you to come and get it."

Wu Wen watched the blacksmith carry out a large pile of things, which it would be difficult for him to take away by himself.

So he said, "Can you help deliver these things to my home?" "No problem!" The blacksmith agreed readily.

After Wu Wen paid the remaining money, the blacksmith arranged for two apprentices to accompany him to move the things back.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Looking at the two apprentices who were exhausted and out of breath, Wu Wen gave each of them three cents as a reward.

"thanks, thanks."

The two apprentices held the money in their hands, feeling very grateful, and their previous fatigue seemed to be swept away.

After expressing their gratitude again, the two apprentices said goodbye and left.

Wu Wen closed the door tightly.

Look carefully at the pile of objects of all sizes in the house.

He observed them for a while before he started to sort them out.

During the day, he went to the library in the East Palace to read and study.

In the evening, I assemble the electrostatic ball after returning home.

that's it.

It took a full four days.

Wu Wencai completed the assembly work of the electrostatic ball device.

He tested the hand-cranked generator by cranking it vigorously, made some minor adjustments, and finally completed it.

However, it was then that Wu Wen discovered a problem: if he wanted to use this electrostatic device to practice, he would need an assistant to help him crank the hand-cranked generator.

"Who can I ask for help?"

I thought to myself.

But after just a little consideration, Wu Wen gave up the idea.

Sometimes, humans are really not as practical as animals.

So he decided to remodel the kitchen since he never cooked there anyway.

The stove was removed and the kitchen was emptied.

Place the static ball device in the kitchen and assemble a gear device using the wheel in this room.

Then, they bought a small donkey as a power source and let it pull the gears like a mill, thereby driving the hand-cranked generator to generate electricity.

That way, everything is done.

at dusk.

Wu Wen returned home.

Close the door tightly.

He planned to use the "static ball" device to practice.

The current cultivation process is far from as simple as he originally thought.

In the training room.

A blindfolded donkey was concentrating on pulling the gears, while the static electricity ball connected to the side was already powered on.

Wu Wen placed one hand on the static electricity ball and at the same time stood in the Crane Form Fist stance.

His hair began to flutter slowly as the static electricity induced it.

At this time, he gently placed his other hand on his pulse and began to take his pulse.

Taking the pulse is an extremely magical skill.

It is like a window to peek into the inner world of the human body. Through subtle changes in the pulse's rise and fall, size, weakness, speed, and rhythm, it can accurately reflect the physical condition and the state of qi and blood circulation in the human body.

While taking his pulse, Wu Wen recorded and analyzed his physical condition.

The reason why he did this was because he was practicing the art of divination called "Summoning the Spirits".

In your mind, sketch out the layout and set up a board.

Wu Wen used himself as the palace and set up the plate.

The front is yin, the back is yang; the five internal organs are yin, the six bowels are yang.

According to the correspondence between the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, the Five Elements, and the Eight Trigrams, the entire human body is divided into:

Jia wood represents the gallbladder and head, Yi wood represents the liver and neck, and both belong to wood.

Bing Fire represents the small intestine and shoulders, Ding Fire represents the heart and blood vessels, both of which belong to the fire element.

Wu Earth represents the stomach and ribs, Ji Earth represents the spleen and abdomen, and both belong to the earth element.

Geng metal represents the large intestine and navel, Xin metal represents the lungs and thighs, both of which belong to metal.

Ren water represents the bladder, tibia and triple burner, Gui water represents the kidneys, feet and cell networks, both of which belong to water.

Qian represents the head, Dui represents the mouth, Zhen represents the feet, Xun represents the thighs, Li represents the eyes, Kan represents the ears, Gen represents the hands, and Kun represents the abdomen.

……

Through the division of yin and yang, heavenly stems and earthly branches, five elements and eight trigrams.

A complete human body gradually forms in my mind.

Wu Wen observes the changes in the body's condition through the pulse, thereby effectively analyzing the cultivation of internal strength.

Static electricity exploded, and the bioelectricity in his body became abnormally active, as if countless invisible forces were surging and surging in his body.

Then he used the movement power of Crane Form Fist to guide these forces to gradually condense.

Under his guidance, these forces, which were originally as delicate as silk, gradually became as tough as steel wires, and finally gathered into a powerful internal force.

All of these processes were carefully constructed in Wu Wen's mind through his meticulous perception of the pulse, and finally presented as a hexagram diagram that was both abstract and implied a certain pattern.
