"Our sect is inherited from the bloodline of Chiyou."
Ding Ning's first sentence was earth-shattering. Mr. Jiang suddenly raised his head with shock in his eyes.
Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang were a little better. They looked at each other and showed an expression that they had expected it.
After all, when Ding Ning used the Nine Ghosts and 13-needle Technique to suppress Shen Muqing's congenital heart disease, they had this speculation. Now it was confirmed, and they became more and more excited.
Mr. Jiang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but traditional Chinese medicine valued rules the most. Ding Ning spoke on behalf of his master, and no one could interrupt without his permission.
Ding Ning ignored him and continued, "In fact, the bloodline of Chiyou and the bloodline of Yan and Huang are of the same origin. Strictly speaking, they both originated from the bloodline of Shennong. But when it was inherited to the generation of Chiyou, it parted ways with the bloodline of Yan and Huang because of the divergence of medical ideas and formed a new school."
"The bloodline of Yan and Huang pays attention to the use of plants as medicine and nourish the body with Qi, while the bloodline of Chiyou focuses on excavating the treasures of the human body, thereby stimulating the human body's potential, making the body strong and having a strong fighting capacity. Therefore, strictly speaking, the bloodline of Chiyou can't be regarded as a real school of medicine. To make an analogy, this kind of medical school is actually more like a scientific research organization that develops the potential of the human body …"
"In fact, whether it is the bloodline of Yan and Huang or the bloodline of Chiyou, to put it bluntly, the medical circle is not their main direction of attack, but more like an auxiliary way of cultivation. This also results in the profession of doctors in ancient times, which is also the two sources of the school of traditional Chinese medicine."
Speaking of this, Ding Ning looked at the three intoxicated "old junior brothers" and asked solemnly, "Do you know why modern traditional Chinese medicine declined?"
"Because the natural environment was destroyed, leading to the extinction of many rare medicinal materials."
Mr. Zhang said thoughtfully.
Mr. Hu's answer was, "The disappearance of medicinal materials is one aspect. More importantly, it is because of the changes in history that many medical inheritances have been annihilated in the long river of history."
Mr. Jiang didn't completely agree with them. He pondered and said, "Although a lot of medical inheritance has been lost in history, there are still many medical inheritances that are quite intact. It's just that there are many schools of traditional Chinese medicine, and the concept of family is deeply rooted. In order to keep these precious inheritances, they would rather lose them than leak them. In addition, some guys swindle around in the name of traditional Chinese medicine, so people gradually lose confidence in traditional Chinese medicine. Of course, the invasion of western medicine is also a major factor that led to the decline of traditional Chinese medicine."
Ding Ning nodded approvingly. "You are all right, but not all right."
The three old men immediately perked up and listened to Ding Ning's explanation attentively like primary school students.
"The reasons for the decline of traditional Chinese medicine are partly due to the reasons you have mentioned. However, the most fundamental reason is that you have ignored what I have said before. In ancient times, most of the doctors were not purely doctors. They studied medicine as a supplementary method of cultivation. Therefore, I am certain that most of the doctors with excellent medical skills in ancient times were powerful martial artists themselves."
Ding Ning's inference was not groundless, and he had his own basis.
He had mastered many prescriptions of elixirs, but in fact, there were few prescriptions that could be used to treat diseases. Most of them were used to strengthen the body, enhance cultivation, heal wounds, detoxify, replenish spiritual energy consumption, and even break through realms.
Therefore, he could basically be sure that elixirs did not exist to cure diseases and save people. They were more developed by doctors to serve warriors.
"This … is not possible, right? Are the ancient doctors such as Bian Que, Hua Tuo, Li Shizhen, and Sun Simiao all warriors? "
Although Mr. Jiang said in an uncertain tone, his doubt was extremely obvious.
Even if Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang trusted Ding Ning very much, they still found it difficult to accept his point of view, which was too incredible.
"That's right, they are all martial artists with profound cultivation."
Ding Ning said flatly.
"This is just my little senior brother's presumption. Let alone others, if Hua Tuo was really a warrior with high cultivation, how could he be killed by Cao Cao? He could have fought his way out of the encirclement and escaped. "
Although Mr. Jiang respected Ding Ning enough, he would never give in easily when it was related to the differences in medical views. Unconvinced, he gave an example to explain.
Ding Ning was not angry. Instead, he admired Mr. Jiang's attitude of insisting on the truth and courageously pursuing the truth. He chuckled and said, "Since I said so, I naturally have my reasons."
"Then tell me. I don't believe that those ancient doctors and sages were martial arts masters."
As soon as Mr. Jiang's stubbornness arose, he did not care about respecting his master. With a flushed face, he straightened his neck and questioned Ding Ning.
"The problem you mentioned is very easy to explain. I've said before that most of the medical skills in ancient times existed to assist in cultivation. What does this mean? It means that our Shenzhou has had an extremely perfect and developed martial arts system since ancient times. People often say that in the Three Kingdoms, someone has the bravery of ten thousand men. In the eyes of the people today, it's just an exaggerated description. But what about the truth? Is it really an exaggerated description? "
Ding Ning said with a smile, neither arrogant nor rash, "Let's take Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong as an example. In order to find Lady Mi and Liu Bei's son Ah Dou, who were lost in the chaos, he fought his way out of the encirclement among millions of soldiers of Cao Cao. In the end, he protected Liu Chan, the later ruler. He not only successfully broke out of the encirclement, but also killed dozens of Cao Cao's generals. Is this something that ordinary people can do?"
"This history is just compiled by the later, so it may not be true."
Mr. Jiang still said disapprovingly, but his tone had obviously softened.
"Even if it is just a fabricated history, there must be some real elements in it since it can be passed down through the ages. Not to mention Zhao Yun, just take Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Lü Bu, and Huang Zhong, these heroes of the Three Kingdoms, which one of them is not brave enough to resist ten thousand men? Even if we put aside the era of the Three Kingdoms where there are many warriors, Jing Ke, who assassinated the King of Qin in the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu in the last years of the Qin Dynasty, the heroes of Wagang Village in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the heroes of Shuibo Liangshan in the Song Dynasty, the warriors of Shaolin Temple in the modern times, Wang Wu, the Great Saber, and Huo Yuanjia … Are their stories all fictitious?"
Ding Ning said with confidence and composure.
The expressions of Mr. Jiang and the other two changed constantly, and the beliefs in their hearts that had always been shaken. If these well-known historical heroes that had been passed down for thousands of years were all exaggerated embellishments, it seemed a little unreasonable. Could it be that the ancient Shenzhou was really full of talented people and the era when martial arts were prosperous?
"So, I think that although those heroes in history were embellished, it is more likely that they were Warriors with profound cultivation. Otherwise, human strength is limited, and how could ordinary people gallop in the midst of thousands of troops and horses? Making contributions in troubled times? The reason why they are praised by later generations is that they naturally have their special features. But the spiritual aura of heaven and earth is thin in modern times, and it is extremely difficult for Warriors to be born. The inheritance of martial arts is missing, so people generally doubt the events that have really happened in history. "
Ding Ning said confidently, "What's more, these are just supporting evidence. I have more conclusive evidence to prove that in ancient times of Shenzhou, doctors also practiced martial arts, and medical skills were mostly used to serve Warriors. But there were always some benevolent ancient doctors who saved the dying and helped the wounded with mercy, so they left a good reputation for thousands of years."
"What do you mean?"
The three old men were daydreaming. Hearing that there was evidence, they immediately cheered up.
"This evidence is also the main reason why traditional Chinese medicine is declining as I said before."
Ding Ning looked serious and said leisurely, word by word, "Because to become the top traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, one must be a Warrior. Only a Warrior with True Qi can make everything impossible possible when treating and saving people, so that the profession of traditional Chinese medicine can shine again."
The three old men trembled and their eyes shone with a frightening light. They were all great figures in the Chinese Medicine industry. Even if they had never met a martial artist, they had heard of it. Moreover, acupuncture had the help of Genuine Qi, so it did have an incredible magical effect. They were well aware of this point.
If what Ding Ning said was the truth, then everything made sense.
Hua Tuo was killed by Cao Cao not because he did not want to escape, but because he could not escape at all. How could there be no Warriors with profound cultivation in Cao Cao's army? Maybe Cao Cao himself was a very powerful Warrior?
If so, then the decline of traditional Chinese medicine was not only because of the lack of inheritance and the destruction of the environment, which led to the extinction of many medicinal materials, but also because, as Ding Ning said, modern traditional Chinese medicine practitioners did not know that traditional Chinese medicine needed the support of True Qi, which gradually led to the decline of traditional Chinese medicine.
This view completely subverted their outlook on life and the world. While they were happy to find the truth, they felt more bitter in their hearts.
Top traditional Chinese medicine practitioners needed to practice both medicine and martial arts. In this era, it was not so easy to become a doctor, let alone an illusory Warrior.
Didn't it mean that traditional Chinese medicine could never be revived and traditional Chinese medicine would become the most brilliant pearl in the history of medicine?
"Don't be pessimistic and don't be discouraged. Maybe for ordinary traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, this is frustrating and even desperate news. But for our sect, this is not a big deal, is it?"
Ding Ning said proudly with his hands behind his back.
He had the right to be proud. Wasn't he a Warrior? It was not a big deal. As long as he wanted, he could create an expert at the peak of the Real Martial Arts in minutes.
Although the Warrior who was promoted to the peak of the Real Martial Arts without the Barbarian Physical Training Method would have limited achievements in this life, unless he had a great opportunity to break through. Otherwise, he could only stay in this realm for the rest of his life.
But for ordinary people like Mr. Hu, becoming a Warrior was something they could only dream of in this life, not to mention becoming an expert at the peak of the Real Martial Arts.
Not to mention that the Spiritual Energy in their bodies was absolutely more than enough to cure diseases and save lives, their lifespan would be increased by dozens or hundreds of years. As long as there was no accident, it was absolutely no problem for them to live to 150 or 160 years old easily.
This was his real welcome gift. The three pills before were just to replenish their declining Qi and blood, improve their physical strength, and make them better able to bear the Spiritual Energy pouring into their bodies.
"It's amazing to change fate. This is the real top means of traditional Chinese medicine. Little Senior Brother, all these are given by you. Please accept our bow."
Feeling the majestic Spiritual Energy, exuberant Qi and blood, and vast vitality in their bodies, the three old men couldn't help crying with excitement. They clasped their hands in front of their chests and bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle.
Ding Ning didn't refuse and accepted it calmly. Although he accepted disciples on behalf of his master, he was actually afraid that the three old men would feel embarrassed. In his heart, they were his disciples, and it was natural for disciples to worship their master. Therefore, he had no qualms about this bow.
