Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 60: Argument of Foreign Evil

Lu Liufang still disdain, but it's not good to say more, just snorted coldly, and said, "Then I'll listen to it all."

Li Xin rolled his eyes unceremoniously, saying, "Listen if you like, or get out if you don't." No way, he has always been this kind of person who respects him a foot, and his character of respecting others. Facing this kind of inexplicable superiority guy, he couldn't squeeze a good face.

Of course Lu Liufang saw this blankly, but finally there was nothing to do. It was the limit to give Li Xin a look, no matter how swollen he was, he wouldn't be able to quarrel with King Chu face-to-face in the Chu Palace.

Seeing the annoying ghost's face turned a little red, Li Xin felt a little more comfortable. He turned to Xu Jingchen and asked, "Dare to ask Brother Xu, why do you think people get sick?"

Before Xu Jingchen spoke, Lu Liufang said, "Why can it be? Yin and Yang are out of balance, and the five elements are out of balance. It's all written in the Nei Jing, do you still need to ask?"

He had been conceited to have studied medicine for more than ten years, and he entered the palace as a medical officer at a young age, but he did not expect to be sent to learn from King Chu.

King Chu, let alone the question of whether he is dull or dull, does he really understand medicine? It is easy to be disgusted if you are a royal doctor of the palace and have to consult a layman who doesn't understand medicine.

Every time he heard Li Xin speak, Lu Liufang felt that the flame in his heart suddenly erupted.

Hearing this, Xu Jingchen had no choice but to laugh bitterly: "Zai Xia's thinking is the same as that of Brother Lu. I don't know what the other angle of Chu Wang means?"

Li Xin pondered for a moment, and said: "In my opinion, human diseases can be roughly divided into two categories, one is internal causes and the other is external. As for trauma, I won't discuss it for now."

Xu Jingchen nodded. Lu Liufang snorted very softly.

"The so-called internal cause may be the imbalance of Yin and Yang, and the imbalance of the five elements. I understand this too well, so I won't make any trouble." Li Xin smiled frankly and continued, "However, in terms of external causes, I But there are totally different ideas."

Xu Jingchen asked: "External cause? Is there any difference from external evil?"

Li Xin smiled and said: "Yes, the two are somewhat similar, but the difference is still quite big."

At this time, Lu Liufang said again: "The so-called exogenous evils are substances that invade the human body and affect the body's righteous qi. The ancestors divided it into cold, heat, dampness, dryness, and epidemic diseases. With changes, did King Chu discover a new kind of foreign evil?" He tried his best to show a serious discussion attitude, but his tone was still a bit slippery, which always made people feel uncomfortable.

Li Xin simply ignored Lu Liufang and directly asked Xu Jingchen: "Then Brother Xu thinks, what exactly is the so-called foreign evil?"

"What is it?" Xu Jingchen was stunned for a moment and repeated it silently.

Li Xin nodded and said, "For example, when we talk about trees, we all know that we are referring to this kind of luxuriant plant outside. When we talk about people, we know that it means you and I can sit like this. A creature that walks upright and can think in words. But what do we mean when we talk about exogenous evil?"

Xu Jingchen fell into deep thought and did not speak for a long while. Lu Liufang said, "The wind and rain are cool and hot. As long as it doesn't fit the righteousness of the human body, it can enter the human body and turn into an external evil."

Although this guy is not very polite, he still has his own understanding of Chinese medicine classics. Indeed, what he said is correct. The external evil referred to by Chinese medicine does not actually have a clear conclusion. The opinion accepted by most people is: as long as it does not meet the requirements of human balance, it can be included in the scope of "evil" .

But such an answer is obviously not what Li Xin wanted.

Li Xin shook his head and said, "I don't think so. I think the wind is the wind, and the rain is the rain. The so-called foreign evils do not refer to these things, but many smaller things."

"Small things? How small is it?" Xu Jingchen asked curiously.

"It's so small that it's invisible to the naked eye, and it can only be seen with special equipment. It's a pity that I haven't been able to make such a device for the time being." Li Xin said with some regret. He knows the principle of the microscope, but unfortunately, he doesn't know how to grind lenses. If he can find a reliable master who grinds lenses in the future, he can try to make a simple microscope.

I'm sorry, brother Leeuwenhoek!

Xu Jingchen pondered for a while, then looked at Li Xin and asked, "When the king of Chu meant that many of the diseases that we usually encounter were actually caused by something that you said was so small that it was invisible to the naked eye?"

"Yes. I call such things...microbes." Li Xin said with a flushed face, "These microbes are everywhere. You and my clothes, faces, every An inch of skin may be stained with different numbers of microorganisms. If these microorganisms invade the human body through a certain way, it will cause corresponding diseases. This is what I understand as external evils."

"Microbes?" Xu Jingchen smiled kindly, as if he hadn't paid attention to the meaning of this concept.

Lu Liufang said, "Isn't King Chu just talking about it? How could there be such a small creature? Who said that foreign evils are microbes? Do you have any evidence? There is no proof, so how is it different from fabricating?"

Xu Jingchen hurriedly dissuaded: "I remember reading similar words in Buddhist scriptures, saying,'One flower, one world, one leaf and one bodhi', and all the changes in size were written. What's more, there is another sentence called, Buddha Looking at a bowl of water, there are 48,000 insects, which means that even in a space like a bowl of water, there may be countless creatures hidden. What the King of Chu said is actually not without the slightest truth."

Li Xin knew that Xu Jingchen wanted to ease the relationship, but Lu Liufang's repeated expressions of his stupid opinions had completely angered Li Xin.

Li Xin sneered and looked at Lu Liufang and said, "Then you dare to take a bet with me?"

"Okay, what to bet?" Lu Liufang said without showing any weakness, "I must let His Royal Highness Chu know that the difficulty of medical treatment is not because you can just read a little book and think about it, and you can successfully cure the disease and save people."

Li Xin didn't care, and said to himself: "It's very simple, if I can prove that the external evil is indeed not caused by intangible things like wind and rain, but by tangible substances like microorganisms, even if I win, Otherwise, you win. If I win, please resign immediately. I think your knowledge and attitude may not be very suitable for continuing to serve as a medical officer, so as not to delay the illness of the nobles in the palace."
