Chapter 1229 The Wisdom of an Old Chinese Medicine Doctor

Mr. Qiu's residence is not too far from the airport. The Mercedes-Benz business car drove at medium speed. After half an hour, it moved onto a mountain. A few kilometers away was a manor that looked not so international. It looked similar to the mainland, with village roads, but these villagers were all very wealthy.

"Generally speaking, people from other places are not allowed to enter the village at will." Cheng Weiqiang knew that Su Tao could not understand Cantonese, so he spoke not very standard Mandarin.

There is a booth at the entrance of the manor. Cheng Weiqiang handed a cigarette. The person on duty at the booth was an old man in his sixties. He took the cigarette, exchanged a few greetings with Cheng Weiqiang, and then let him go.

The Mercedes-Benz parked in front of a small villa, and a young girl walked out of the door. She should be less than twenty years old and her hair was neither long nor short. A butterfly hairpin fixed the bangs on her forehead, revealing her white and plump forehead. Her eyebrows were a little thicker, not made of eyebrows, but naturally grown. She had just done a simple trimming, her nose bridge was high, her lips were rosy, her eyes were big, and she was wearing a T-shirt and shorts, and a pair of canvas shoes. She was somewhat similar to Joey Wong when she was young.

"Dad, are you back?" the girl looked at Su Tao secretly and asked with a shy smile.

"Yes, this is Doctor Su, and the other two are Mr. Ji and his daughter Ms. Xiangjun." Cheng Weiqiang introduced them with a smile, "Where is your grandfather?"

"Grandma has been waiting in there for a long time." The girl said with a smile, "I'll go make tea."

"This is my daughter Cheng Ying, who is 19 years old this year. After graduating from high school, she has been studying traditional Chinese medicine at home. Unfortunately, she has a bad understanding and can only help get medicine now." Cheng Weiqiang looked at Su Tao intriguedly, "The biggest trouble of my father now is that he is worried that his medical skills will not be passed on. I can barely hold on for a few years, and there will be no talents among the next generation of juniors."

"Lao Dou, don't talk nonsense. Xichun has received the true teachings of Grandpa. He will definitely be able to carry the Cheng Family Hospital in the future." Cheng Ying walked towards her with a white tea jar in her arms. He heard her father's concerns and said seriously.

"Xichun's talent is good, but it will take at least ten years to become a qualified successor to the Cheng Family Medical Center." Cheng Weiqiang explained to Su Tao, "My master created a set of acupuncture techniques based on my father's medical skills, called Qiu's Twenty-Seven-Seconds. Only when I learn to a certain level can I be qualified to inherit the teacher. I started practicing since I was twelve years old, and until now I have learned twenty-somethings. As for my apprentice Xichun, he has only practiced the ninth stying. Only when I practiced the eighteen styings can I be qualified to inherit the Cheng Family Medical Center."

Although Su Tao had never seen Qiu's twenty-seven needles, he had never been able to finish practicing alone for half his life. This shows that it was very difficult. Not only did he have external skills, but he also had to understand the essence and mystery.

"Old Chinese Doctor Qiu, what is the relationship with your father?" Ji Xiangjun felt that the relationship inside was a little confused and asked in a low voice.

"Old Chinese Doctor Qiu and my father are both teachers and friends. He smuggled into our village from the mainland and died for a lifetime. My father and the villagers found him and felt pitiful at the time, so they took him in. Later, my father found out that he actually knew Chinese medicine. In addition, my family had already opened a clinic, so the two supported each other and made the Cheng Family Medical Center a little famous. In fact, in terms of medical skills, the master is much better than my father. But he was grateful for my father's kindness in sheltering that year, so he continued to practice medicine in the Cheng Family Medical Center. My father passed away ten years ago, and I treated my master as my father." Cheng Weiqiang explained patiently.

Su Tao smiled and said, "I have seen anecdotes about Mr. Qiu. It is said that he once used this set of acupuncture to bring back a dead person to life, which is really great."

"That's a rumor. If a person dies, how can he survive? It's just that the patient's life was almost gone. My master used twenty-seven injections to cure the patient." Cheng Weiqiang was a very honest elder, without any airs and spoke straightforwardly.

Su Tao has a good impression of Cheng Weiqiang. He is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Every word and deed are virtues. Only when he is upright in medical ethics can he become a famous doctor.

Several people spoke and walked, and came to the wide garden behind the villa.

Chinese are different from foreigners. Foreigners like to play with flowers and plants in the front yard, while Chinese people like to build a whole vegetable field or a rockery garden in the back yard.

Mr. Qiu was sitting on a stool, shaking a palm-leaf fan in his hand. Su Tao was a little surprised because according to the information, Mr. Qiu was very old and ninety years old, but he not only had a tall figure, but also had tight skin, and there was no sign of aging. At first glance, he looked like an old man about sixty years old.

Mr. Qiu smiled and said, "Welcome, welcome!"

Su Tao discovered that Mr. Qiu had a good tooth that was like a fake one, and he admired him very much, thinking that Mr. Qiu had truly mastered the secret of longevity?

In the vast world, a mountain is higher than a mountain. Su Tao's medical skills are good and have received many recognitions, but he never felt that he was the one with the highest medical skills in the world. He knew that there must be some medical skills in this world that are better than him. As for those who have studied more than him in a certain field, there are countless.

For example, Song Sichen's skills in diagnosis are several times better than himself, and Dou Fanggang's ability to prescribe medicine is also better than himself.

As for the old Chinese doctor Qiu in front of him, his health preservation has reached a point that he is unattainable.

"It's a great honor to meet Senior Qiu." Su Tao said sincerely, "I had seen your photos in the information and thought it was taken many years ago. I didn't expect you to be so young, which is really shocking."

Mr. Qiu smiled faintly and said, "For so many years, people have been asking me why I can maintain this well. I was also very curious at first, but later I figured it out that I often do experiments with myself, take some medicines, feel the effect, and over time, I unknowingly improve my physical condition. Of course, this is risky. Not everyone can be as toxic as me. Many people take so many medicines and will be affected by side effects of the properties of the medicine and their bodies will be damaged."

It is difficult for ordinary people to understand, but Su Tao empathizes with it. His physique is better than that of ordinary people. Because he has been taking medicine since he was a child and he can try many drugs, he unknowingly developed a physique that is "non-invasive for all poisons". Never invasive for all poisons is not really any poison that cannot harm himself, but it is more resistant to drugs.

When some violent medicinal herbs can also resist, ordinary minor illnesses and pains will naturally not be invaded.

Su Tao nodded and sighed: "It's really admirable for seniors to try medicine with their bodies."

Mr. Qiu laughed in silence, "The main reason is that I am too curious. Whenever I find a new prescription, I want to know what the taste will be, what effect will be after drinking it, and whether it will bring any special side effects. Then I want to take the initiative to experience it."

Su Tao knew that Mr. Qiu was joking. If he really believed him, he would be too simple. Su Tao smiled and said, "It takes courage to try medicine."

The old Chinese doctor Qiu's eyes fell on Ji Chengjun and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is he the lupus erythematosus patient?"

Su Tao nodded and said, "Yes, please help him with treatment."

The old Chinese doctor Qiu looked solemn and pointed at the stone table not far away, "Let's go there and sit."

After Ji Chengjun sat down, the old Chinese doctor Qiu began to take Ji Chengjun's pulse. After a while, he asked Su Tao: "I should have taken liver-protecting medicine recently?"

Su Tao said: "The previous symptoms were related to liver qi not being smooth, so I prescribed a prescription for nourishing the liver."

The old Chinese doctor Qiu stood up and walked away, while Su Tao followed him tacitly.

When Ji Chengjun was sure that the conversation between the two would not be heard by Ji Chengjun, Mr. Qiu asked in a deep voice: "Disadvantage of career leads to liver qi stagnation, which leads to the severity of the disease?"

Su Tao had not told the old Chinese doctor Qiu about Ji Chengjun's dismissal before. Seeing that he could guess through a pulse diagnosis, he nodded and said, "Because he was falsely accused, his official position was removed, and his heart knot was unresolved, resulting in poor liver qi, so he prescribed a prescription for protecting liver and nourishing qi."

"It turns out that the career is not going well." Mr. Qiu shook his head and said, "That's difficult. Unless the official regained his position, it will be difficult for him to untie his heart, but this is an impossible thing. If the knot in his heart is not resolved, it will be even more difficult to cure lupus erythematosus."

"Senior Qiu, I can see it thoroughly, and I'm a little worried." Su Tao shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"I have a way, maybe it will work." Old Chinese doctor Qiu touched his chin, "but maybe he would have to ask an old friend to help."

Su Tao frowned and said, "I don't know who this friend is?"

Mr. Qiu smiled and said, "You will know later."

After saying that, Mr. Qiu called Cheng Weiqiang and gave a few instructions in his ear.

Cheng Weiqiang nodded and hurriedly left.

Although I don’t know what medicine is sold in the gourd of Mr. Qiu, Su Tao is still very confident about Mr. Qiu and should have his own ideas and judgments on the treatment of Ji Chengjun’s lupus erythematosus.

Although after just a few simple conversations, Su Tao learned a lot from the old Chinese doctor Qiu. Just like his mood when facing the two elders of Song and Dou, and the Taoist sect leader, these older generation Chinese masters have many things worth learning from.

Cheng Ying brought the three of them to the second floor and had already arranged three rooms. "If you have any place you need help, just open your mouth and treat it as your own home."

"Thank you." Su Tao said with a smile.

Cheng Ying suddenly paused and lowered her voice and said, "Can you please do me a favor?"

"Oh? Please tell me." Su Tao said in confusion.

"If someone wants to challenge you later, ignore him and think he is a big idiot." Cheng Ying said with a flushed face.

"Oh, is it that young man named Xichun?" Su Tao quickly reacted. nt
