Chapter 97: Imperial Medical Department, Curse and Forbidden Department

……

the next day.

Wu Wen then found some laborers to help him move.

This mansion, awarded by the emperor, was once the residence of a third-rank official. The infrastructure inside was very complete, but it looked a bit shabby because no one had lived in it for many years and it had fallen into disrepair.

The tall gate of the mansion has exquisite patterns carved on its lintel. Although it is a little mottled due to weathering, one can still glimpse its former splendor.

Wu Wen walked through the gate and over a wall, which revealed a spacious courtyard.

There is a stone pond in the center of the courtyard. Although the water in the pond has dried up for a long time, the stone sculptures and rockery beside the pond are still lifelike.

After crossing the courtyard, Wu Wen came to the main hall.

The main hall is spacious and bright, with a high-hanging plaque inscribed with four large characters: "Grand and Rich".

Although the furniture in the hall is old, each piece reveals exquisite craftsmanship.

Wu Wen continued to walk inside.

Come to the back garden.

Although the flowers and trees in the garden have withered, the layout is still well-arranged. One can imagine the grand scene when the garden was full of flowers and filled with fragrance.

There is a pavilion in the center of the garden. Although its pillars are a bit mottled, they are still strong.

At the back is the back door.

After walking around.

Wu Wen returned to the main hall again.

Xiao Fugui, who had also looked around, ran to Wu Wen with a smile and said, "Sir, this mansion seems to have been uninhabited for a long time. Many places inside are badly damaged. We should spend ten days or half a month to have it renovated before we can live here."

"Need not!"

Wu Wen waved his hand: "As long as it's clean and habitable, it's fine."

What Xiao Fugui thought was dilapidated and old, in Wu Wen's opinion, had a unique classical charm.

"what?"

Xiao Fugui was a little confused.

He thought that since he lived in such a nice mansion, he must decorate it beautifully. How could he just live in it like that?

Find someone to tidy up the mansion and clean it thoroughly.

Wu Wen just moved in there.

There is a small room next to the master bedroom, where he set up a practice room.

After the training equipment was moved in and placed, Wu Wen started to practice directly.

In an electrostatic field.

With the last experience,
Although the training process this time was equally painful, it was within Wu Wen's tolerance.

After reaching the critical point.

Wu Wen's body seemed to have gained a second life. In addition to feeling relaxed, his ability to withstand stress and the energy fluctuations that erupted from his body also clearly improved to a higher level.

"Good, that's it!"

Although cultivation is a slow process, Wu Wen's current situation is equivalent to being on the fast track again.

Just like that, keep applying pressure, then adapt, then apply pressure again, then adapt again...

By repeating this process, you can continuously tap into your potential bit by bit.

—

Stayed at home for three days.

It's time to take up a position in the Imperial Medical Bureau.

early morning.

Wu Wen went to the Imperial Medical Bureau.

As soon as we arrived, Imperial Doctor Liu and Imperial Doctor Zhou came to greet us with smiles.

"Wuxianzi, you are finally here!"

"Your Majesty has given me a mansion. I just moved there these two days, so I was quite busy and it delayed me for two days." Wu Wen explained with a smile.

In response, both of them showed envy in their eyes.

"This is my first time here, so please introduce it to me." Wu Wen said.

Then, the two of them introduced the specific situation of the Imperial Medical Bureau to Wu Wen.

There are eight positions in the Imperial Medical Bureau, including the Imperial Physician Order, Imperial Physician Assistant, Imperial Physician Supervisor, Imperial Physician Chief, Imperial Physician Junior Chief, Imperial Physician Doctor, Imperial Physician Assistant, and Imperial Physician Assistant.

The Imperial Physician Order, a seventh-rank official, was the highest official in the Imperial Medical Bureau. He was appointed by the emperor himself and was responsible for managing the work of the entire Imperial Medical Bureau.

This is Wu Wen’s current official position.

The Imperial Physician Chief, eighth rank, was an office official of the Imperial Medical Bureau, responsible for managing the daily affairs of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

The Imperial Physician Supervisor, eighth rank, is the inspector of the Imperial Medical Bureau, responsible for supervising the work of the members of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

The Chief Imperial Physician was a ninth-rank official and a deputy of the Imperial Medical Bureau, assisting the Chief Imperial Physician in handling the daily affairs of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

The Junior Chief of Imperial Physicians was a minor official in the Imperial Medical Bureau, responsible for assisting the work of the Bureau.

The Imperial Doctor was an academic official of the Imperial Medical Bureau, responsible for researching medical knowledge.

Taiyilang was a grassroots official in the Imperial Medical Bureau, responsible for specific medical work.

Imperial Physician Assistant, an assistant official of the Imperial Medical Bureau, assists in the work of the Bureau.

Listening to the two people's explanations, Wu Wen nodded in response from time to time.

"In the Imperial Medical Bureau, there are four main departments. They are medicine, acupuncture, massage, and curse!"

"Wait a minute!"

Wu Wen suddenly interrupted and asked Doctor Zhou, "What is this forbidden curse department?"

Doctor Zhou smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, County Master Wu. Let me explain it to you slowly."

The Department of Medicine is one of the main departments of the Imperial Medical Bureau, responsible for the daily medical care and disease diagnosis and treatment of royal family members.

Medicine is also subdivided into different professional fields, such as internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, etc., to meet the treatment needs of different diseases.

The Acupuncture Department is mainly responsible for acupuncture treatment.

The massage department is mainly responsible for massage therapy. Through manual manipulation to stimulate the meridians and acupuncture points on the surface of the human body, the purpose of relaxing muscles and tendons, regulating qi and blood, and relieving pain is achieved. The incantation department is a relatively special department that uses the art of incantation to treat diseases.

The art of incantation is an ancient witch doctor's method of praying for the gods' protection and expelling diseases through chanting incantations and drawing talismans.

After listening to his story.

Wu Wen stared at the two of them closely, and then asked, "Is this forbidden spell really useful?"

"Of course!"

Imperial Physician Zhou and Imperial Physician Liu answered affirmatively at the same time.

Then he smiled and said, "If it was useless, why would the Imperial Medical Bureau have a Curse and Forbidden Department?"

In addition, the Imperial Medical Bureau also had a pharmacy department responsible for the collection, preparation, storage and distribution of medicines.

After listening to the two people’s complete introduction of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

Wu Wen immediately said to them: "Take me to the Curse and Forbidden Department."

"Please come in, Mr. Wu!"

Under the leadership of the two.

Wu Wen came to the so-called forbidden curse department.

Different from other places in the Imperial Medical Bureau.

The courtyard where the Curse and Forbidden Department is located is more like a place for rituals, with colorful ribbons hung everywhere, as well as wind chimes and other strange things.

When you enter the house, except for the absence of statues, other facilities are almost the same as those in Taoist temples.

At this time, a man with a mask on his face, holding a bell in one hand and a peach wood sword in the other, came to the three people in a mysterious and jumping manner.

"County Wu, this is Feng Wu, the only imperial physician in the Imperial Medical Bureau who specializes in curses and forbidden items."

"Doctor Feng, this is the new chief physician, County Master Wu Wen."

Hearing this, Feng Wu put down the bell in his hand, took off the mask on his face, looked up at Wu Wen, without a trace of respect in his eyes, and said provocatively: "Are you the Wu Wen who solved the plague?"

"How did you know that cowpox can cure pea sores?"

"I saw it by chance in a book!" Wu Wen said lightly.

"I told you, someone like you doesn't look like someone who is proficient in medicine!" After saying that, Feng Wu ignored Wu Wen, put on his mask, and skipped away.

"County Wu, don't be surprised. He has always been like this, even when he meets Your Majesty." Doctor Liu explained with a smile.

"It doesn't matter!"

Wu Wen said, "Since the Imperial Medical Bureau has set up a department for forbidden curses, there must be books on this subject!"

"Yes! If County Master Wu wants to see it, please follow me."

In the Imperial Medical Bureau, there is a place specifically for storing books, which is usually managed by the imperial physician.

When Wu Wen arrived here, Doctor Zhou led him to a remote bookshelf and said, "County Wu, please take a look. This is the medical book about forbidden spells."

"So little?" Wu Wen picked up a book at random.

For any normal medical skill, you can pick up any one of them and you will find books on every shelf related to it. In comparison, there are really too few medical books on forbidden techniques.

"After all, forbidden spells are rather special and only a few people know them, so there are only so many medical books," Imperial Doctor Liu explained.

Wu Wen opened the medical book in his hand and read the contents.

People consume the energy of heaven and earth to survive. Internal injuries come from the seven emotions of joy, anger, worry, sadness, fear and shock. External injuries come from the six evils of wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness and fire, which are the causes of illness.

Huangdi asked: "If a person has not encountered any evil spirits and has no intention of being frightened, but suddenly becomes ill, why is this so?"

Qi Bo said: "If there is no ghost in my heart, how can the ghost invade me? If there is no evil in my heart, how can the evil disturb me? If there is no demon in my heart, how can the demon attack me?"

Therefore, illness caused by ghosts and gods actually comes from the heart.

The diseases treated by incantations and taboos are mostly caused by psychological disorders, which allow the seven emotions and six desires to multiply and attack.

Many diseases are actually caused indirectly by psychological factors, and their root lies in the heart.

After simply reading the opening content, Wu Wen immediately understood, isn’t this forbidden spell the Zhuyou spell?
Wu Wen started to look through other books.

Get a general idea.

The treatment methods of forbidden spells include forbidden methods, incantations, blessings, talismans, etc.

If it is translated, it corresponds to suggestion therapy, psychotherapy, hypnosis therapy, music therapy, etc.

"interesting!"

Just as Wu Wen was becoming increasingly fascinated by the show.

Doctor Zhou reminded him, "County Wu, if you are interested in forbidden spells, you can come and see them later. Today is your first day on duty, so you should go and pay a visit to Doctor Zhao and other colleagues who are also the chief doctors."

Hearing this, Wu Wen put down the book in his hand.

Following the two people through the winding corridors of the Imperial Medical Bureau, we arrived at a spacious meeting room.

Here, several officials from the Imperial Medical Bureau are already waiting.

In the middle is an old man with white hair and beard and a kind face.

He is another imperial physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau, Imperial Doctor Zhao Qingming.

"County Wu, this is Doctor Zhao Qingming, who is also your Imperial Physician!" Doctor Liu introduced.

Wu Wen stepped forward and bowed, "Greetings, Imperial Doctor Zhao."

Doctor Zhao smiled and replied, "County Wu is young and promising. I have heard of your contribution to solving the plague. It is a blessing for the court and the people to have you join the Imperial Medical Bureau."

Afterwards, Imperial Physician Liu introduced the other officials present, including the Imperial Physician Chief and the Imperial Physician Supervisor, one by one.

Wu Wen greeted everyone one by one with a humble and polite attitude. Although he looked like a military general, he still won the favor of everyone.

After the meeting.

Wu Wen was then led by Imperial Physicians Liu and Zhou to the room where he would handle affairs in the future.

The room was simply and practically decorated. The bookshelves were filled with various medical books, and the four treasures of the study were neatly displayed on the desk, apparently to make it convenient for him to record his thoughts or write medical prescriptions at any time.

"County Wu, we have other things to do, so we'll take our leave first." Imperial Doctor Liu and Imperial Doctor Zhou said goodbye.

"Yes!" Wu Wen nodded.

After the two left, Wu Wen went to the place where the medical books on spells and forbidden arts were stored again, moved them all to his room, and slowly read through them.
