Chapter 128: The Five-Poison Medicine Stew (Part 1)
Remember in one second
I don't know if it's because of the luxurious whirlpool bathtub and mountain spring water in Zhou Yi's bathroom, but Liu Xue has been loving to take baths more and more. When Zhou Yi returned to the villa, she happened to be walking out of the bathroom with a clean and tender little leaf.
Two beauties, one big and one small, wearing bathrobes, with wet hair, smooth skin still glistening with water droplets, stepped into the hall, instantly giving the Wind Listening Pavilion a hint of 'Hidden Beauty Golden House' feeling.
Two old men were just admiring the mansion with Liu Xue, when they suddenly saw them and were all taken aback. Liu Xue couldn't help but glance at Zhou Yi with a sly smile, thinking to herself: "Brother, you've really made it! Last time in Baiquan Valley, you were already hanging out with a beautiful woman, and now you've even taken it to the next level - not only do you have an invincible young sister, but you've also effortlessly raised a little loli?"
"Zhou Yi, I didn't know there were guests, so I took Yezi to change clothes. After this period of warmth and nourishment, living a life of luxury every day, with Zhou Yi's loving care and medicinal nourishment, Liu Xue is now restored to her original energy, even better than before she left for Nan. Her complexion has recovered, with a smooth white skin and a hint of red, like flawless jade. Now, with the rain falling on the pear blossoms, she looks even more beautiful, making the two old men stare in awe, their mouths dry and their hearts sighing: 'Youth is indeed good, much better than us old folks... this young lady... has quite a bit of good fortune.'"
Two old men's hearts are stirring with spring, feeling that this trip was not in vain.
Before long, Liu Xue and Xiao Yezi changed their clothes and came downstairs. During this time, they were busy treating Yezi, and Zhou Yi didn't have time to take them to Chu Du to buy new clothes, so the two of them still wore their old clothes. The newly bathed beauty, wearing a simple dress and hairpin, looked even more pitiful.
Yang Cai looks down on ordinary men, and is still single until now, but she loves children the most. Seeing Xiao Yezi's adorable appearance, she couldn't help herself; regardless of whether they were familiar with each other or not, she rushed over to hug and pinch Xiao Yezi's small face, repeatedly calling out: "What's your name, baby? Call me sister, sister will take you to buy new clothes."
Her 'urgency' look is just like the big grey wolf who took a liking to Little Red Riding Hood, or those little devils who try to make friends with kids...
"Cai Zi, move aside and let Ye Grandpa take a look at this little girl."
When I saw Yezi just now, Ye Dezhuo's eyes lit up immediately.
Zhou Yi has only been back for a few days, how did this little girl's swelling on her face disappear? She looks lively and energetic. However, he is older after all, his old eyes are a bit blurry, and before he could take a closer look, Liu Xue took Ye Zi upstairs to change clothes. Now he can take a good look.
The leaves were a bit tense, letting the old man examine her fundus for a while, then look at her tongue coating, and then stretch out his small hand to let him take her pulse. Her heart was racing with anxiety, thinking what this old man was doing? Was he also a doctor like Uncle Zhou?
Last time at 'Shennong Hall', she was sometimes clear-headed and sometimes confused, and had no impression of Ye De Cao.
"The toxins in the body have been completely eliminated, and the kidney water has also been activated. Now it's just that the yin and yang energies haven't adjusted yet, and the vital energy can't fully recover... Just need to rest and recover for a period of time..."
Ye De Cao's eyelids twitched a few times, and he looked at Zhou Yi with some surprise: "Little Yi Zi, is this illness cured by you?"
Little Swallow?
The Great Yi was greatly surprised. However, facing the inquiry of his ancestors, he could only tell the truth: "Yes, but it's not all my credit. A hundred miles from here, there is a 'Baiquan Valley' where a disciple discovered a 'Jiuyang Spring'. The reason why Xiaoye can recover so quickly is also due to the effect of this spring water."
Xiao Yezi's recovery was so rapid that even Zhou Yi felt somewhat surprised. Originally, he thought it would take at least half a year for her to recover, but now it seems that she will be fully recovered in less than half a month; probably half of the credit should go to Jiu Yang and those few 'Buddha's Seat Small Red Lotus', also because he underestimated his own medical skills when treating this terminal illness for the first time.
"Jiuyang Spring!"
Ye De Cao's expression changed: "One pool of nine springs, directly connected to the earth's lung heat, and cannot appear a single cold spring, only then is it Nine Yang! This kind of water that steals the heaven and earth's creation, the utmost yang water, can cure many illnesses, what a treasure land! Xiao Yi Zi, ancient medical books record that near the Nine Yang Spring will necessarily appear precious medicinal herbs. The 'Gui Yuan San Du Fang' you prescribed for this little girl, didn't it use some kind of medicinal herb grown in the Bai Quan Valley?"
"As expected, you're really impressive, worthy of being my ancestor."
The I Ching is shocked in my heart. Ye got the grass single and relied on this thread to infer so many results, as if he had seen it with his own eyes. With just this insight, he can be called a legendary divine doctor who has seen the highest leader.
He originally thought he was the medical god of today, with a bit of disdain for famous doctors in the world. Even towards Ye De Cao, he only respected his character and age. It wasn't until now that he truly felt convinced and acknowledged this ancestor.
"Master, you guessed it right, it's indeed Little Red of Buddha's Seat"
Yang Cai's eyes lit up: "Oh, Tianya Dielian?"
"Heh heh, Cai Zi, you're absolutely right. It's indeed the small red lotus on the Buddha's seat. However, this medicine is just a catalyst to bring out the effects of other medicines, and its own effect may not be as miraculous as described." The six-leafed grass stretched out his hand and said: "Let me take a look at the prescription."
Taking the prescription handed over by Zhou Yi, Ye De Cao shook his head and looked at the prescription with a series of "tsks" in his mouth; "Good! The three money worth of mercury is used well, it's really ingenious... If you add one more point, it will be too much, if you reduce one point, it will be too little... And this Tuckahoe flower, originally used to treat menstrual irregularities and regulate the flow of Qi, but here it is used in conjunction with the Buddha's red lotus, which can help to expel toxic blood and regulate kidney energy! Little Yi, your level of medical expertise is already worthy of being included in the "Thousand Golden Prescriptions", even if Dou Tian De had two good hands, he might not be able to teach you, this young genius doctor!"
Just as Zhou Yi predicted, this prescription couldn't escape Ye De Cao's eyes and he spotted the problem at a glance.
Ye De Cao's old eyes didn't flower, just this one prescription, has already reached the wonderful realm where nothing can't be used as medicine and nothing can't be transformed into disease. The wonder of its use lies in the mind, it can be said that he has already touched the boundary of medical science. As for Dou Tian De's several catties and taels, how could he not be clear? It would be strange if doubts didn't arise in his heart.
Gu Zhīwèi and Yang Cǎi are outsiders to the medical field, but they also drew the conclusion from Yè Dé Cǎo's evaluation that this guy Zhou Yi is really awesome. Such a super awesome cooking and medical skills guy, actually hiding in the mountains and refusing to come out, haven't you heard that career is a man's life? In this era, it's not popular to pretend to be a hermit waiting for a good price either?
Could he really be a seeker of truth who is unattached to worldly fame and wealth? The two looked at Zhou Yi with curiosity, both wanting to hear how he would respond.
"Hehe, Master, you misunderstood. Kyoto University has always advocated for a free and liberal academic style, and our instructors guide rather than indoctrinate. I simply enjoy studying ancient formulas and boldly experimenting with them."
"Speaking of which, it's still thanks to Master's genuine medicinal herbs and my good luck in finding the 'Nine Yang Spring' and the small red lotus on the Buddha's seat that the treatment process went so smoothly."
He had already prepared a draft in his mind, and this speech sounded very reasonable when spoken out loud. However, if one carefully pondered it, they would find that he hadn't said anything substantial, just empty high-sounding phrases.
Ye De Cao listened and couldn't pick out any reason, but always had a feeling of being cheated by this kid, and the awkwardness in his heart was not even worth mentioning...
