Story 91: Liu Hejian, the King of Evil Cure Medicines
Liu Hejian, the King of Evil Cure Medicines
Author: Anonymous
When it comes to medicine Prince Sun Simiao, almost every adult and child knows about it. Everyone knows that the number of people he has saved through his medical skills and supernatural powers must be counted in the thousands. Even his disciples and disciples are all famous masters of traditional Chinese medicine in both the government and the public. The common people call him a living god.
Who would have thought that this living god would get sick when he was a hundred years old? I prescribed some medicine according to his condition, but it didn’t work and became worse and worse. His wife was very worried and advised him: “As the saying goes, doctors don’t have autonomy. If you prescribe medicine by yourself, it won’t make much difference, so why don’t you ask someone else to take a look.”
What the King of Medicine said in his heart: The common people respect me as the King of Medicine. Almost all the famous doctors in the world were taught by me. Who can treat me? I thought so in my heart, but then I muttered: “Who can I turn to when I’m looking for someone to cure my disease?” “It seems that no matter what profession, people who have reached the top of their skills are very lonely.
When Grandma Yao Wang heard Sun Simiao’s words, her mouth became active and she quickly answered: “Who are you looking for? Looking for your disciples? Don’t you often say that a master does not have to be more virtuous than his disciples? A master is better than a master.”
Sun Simiao heard the same thing. The youngest of my students is in his fifties or sixties. He has been practicing medicine for so many years and has saved many people. He has a lot of housekeeping skills, so he might as well give it a try. He nodded and said feebly: “Okay.”
After hearing what the old man said, Grandma Yao Wang quickly sent her family to call her apprentice. As soon as the disciples heard that their teacher was ill, no matter how busy they were, they had to put things aside. Within two days after the news was sent out, a few of them were anxious. Disciples from surrounding prefectures and counties also rushed here in a hurry, and many of them arrived one after another. For a time, people with black beards, white beards, black hair, gray hair, and white hair were all in one place.
The disciples saw the master’s wife and asked her about her master’s condition. Grandma Yao Wang said crisply: “Your master is sick, but I haven’t cured him even though I prescribed some medicines. I specially asked you to come here and show him a look.”
As soon as the apprentices heard this, they immediately went to the bedroom to see the master. The eldest brother took the lead and those behind him automatically lined up one by one to enter the room and pay their respects to the master.
The senior brother sat in front of the hospital bed and began to diagnose the master’s pulse, followed by the second senior brother and the third senior brother… one by one in order. Don’t look at the fact that there are five or six of these people in the local area who are worshiped as living gods, but in front of the master, they are all so trembling that they don’t even dare to show their dignity.
After checking the pulse, everyone left the bedroom and went to the study to consider the prescription. Not to mention that the disciples like Lord Yao are really capable. They all agreed that the master’s illness was caused by wind and cold, which caused depression and excessive thinking. Everyone, you say a certain medicine and I say a special medicine. Even the dosage is considered over and over again. Finally, the senior brother writes the prescription and seeks the master’s opinion.
The Prince of Medicine looked at the prescription and nodded: “Okay.” The senior brother respectfully withdrew and wiped his sweat before asking someone to take the medicine according to the prescription. The King of Medicine took three doses in a row. Not only did his illness not improve, but he didn’t even want to eat.
The grandma of Medicine King was so angry that she drove away all her disciples. Medicine King Sun Simiao felt that there was no hope, so he lay down on the bed and waited for him to become immortal by riding a crane.
On this day, a wandering doctor came to the door of King Yao. He was holding a cow’s heart and hair, wearing rags and a straw rope tied around his waist. He was shaking a bell in his hand and walked around the door of King Yao, shouting loudly. : “Specializes in treating various difficult diseases, reviving medicine, and curing diseases in one go.”
In the beginning, no one paid any attention to him yelling at you. But this wandering doctor has identified this place, ringing, ringing, and shouting. The doorman didn’t like it and came out to block the gentleman: “Sir, please stop shaking, okay?”
Doctor Youfang stopped suddenly: “Why do you want to see a doctor?”
The gatekeeper said: “I’m not sick, I just asked you to stop shaking.”
“Don’t shake it. Who knew I was a doctor? If I hadn’t seen a doctor, I wouldn’t have had time for lunch.”
When the gatekeeper heard this, he yelled and said to himself: Don’t get angry with him. The old lady is sick and is afraid of quarreling. Just give them money and send him away. The doorman took out half a coin from his pocket and handed it over: “Sir, I have half a coin here for you to drink.”
It is said that the doctor was not quick to travel with such a good thing. Who would have thought that the doctor didn’t even glance at him: “You put it away. You think I am a beggar. I don’t want to see a doctor for free.”
The doorman was so angry that he said in his heart: What are you doing with your face? It’s not nice to speak when someone is angry: “Didn’t you ask who’s house this is? This is the house of Mr. Sun, the King of Medicine, so you can also see a doctor.” Isn’t this a saint selling hundreds of surnames at his door?”
Doctor You Fangzhong chuckled: “How dare you enter the Dragon Palace without a dragon catcher? To cure the disease, you have to give it to the prince of medicine. If you can’t cure it for others, it’s not enough.”
The two of them talked about their own reasons. Finally, Doctor You Fang rang the bells and sighed: “I am too busy to waste so much time on you. Tell your boss that I will come tomorrow to tell him not to miss the opportunity. I I’m going to drink.” As he said this, he kicked his shoes and walked away.
Grandma Yaowang heard the commotion at the door and wondered what had happened. She quickly sent the maid to ask the doorkeeper and explained the situation angrily. When the maid went back and said something to Yao Wang, Grandma nodded: “There is someone outside the world, maybe a real person who doesn’t show his face. When he comes tomorrow, tell me that I have an invitation.”
The next morning Doctor You Fang came and rang his bell. The gatekeeper hurriedly came in and reported to Grandma Yaowang: “Old Madam, that bluffing gentleman is here again.”
Grandma Yao Wang said: “I know, just wait.” Grandma Yao Wang entered the bedroom: “The gentleman I told you about yesterday is here. Let’s invite him to see you. Anyway, you are an expert. Let’s eat from him.” It doesn’t hurt if the medicine doesn’t work.”
Medicine King Sun Simiao responded helplessly: “Okay.” Medicine King’s grandma quickly ordered: “Sir, please.”
After a while, Doctor You Fang came in. Grandma Yao Wang really didn’t dare to underestimate this gentleman. She quickly asked him to sit down and briefly told him about Sun Simiao’s condition. The gentleman laughed and said, “It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter. I’ll make sure he wakes up and eats that day.”
Grandma Yao Wang was very happy when she heard this: “If you are so kind, please ask Mr. to come in and check your pulse.”
“No, no, no, I’ll use a hanging thread to diagnose the pulse.” The gentleman said, untying the straw rope tied around his waist and handing it to the maid standing next to him: “Please, this maid, please tie the rope to your master’s feet.” I can easily diagnose the pulse on my neck.”
The maid saw a lot of things like diagnosing pulses and treating diseases at King Yao’s Mansion, but she didn’t even see the straw rope tied to her feet, so she couldn’t help but look up at the old lady. Grandma Yao Wang also felt that Erhuke wanted to see how it would be decomposed next time, so she nodded. Seeing the old lady nodding, the maid took the straw rope and entered the bedroom.
Medicine King Sun Simiao felt angry when he heard Doctor You Fang’s boastful words in the back room. He said in his heart: Who do you think you are? Even my medicine king can’t figure it out.
You can do it. He was so angry and confused that the maid came in with a straw rope and said that the doctor wanted to hang a thread to diagnose the pulse and almost made Sun Simiao angry. He stretched out his feet from the quilt and asked the maid to tie them up. He said to himself: I wonder what kind of fun you can do. The wandering doctor in the outer room pressed the straw rope with three fingers in a serious manner. Keep your head still and hold your breath to check your pulse. After a while, he told the maid: “Take off the straw rope. I have diagnosed your master’s illness.”
The maid untied the straw rope and You Fang Langzhong re-wrapped the straw rope around his waist and bowed twice to Grandma Yao Wang: “Congratulations to the old lady, congratulations to the old lady. Your master is pregnant with Liujia and is about to give birth to a child.”
King Yao was lying on the bed with his ears open, listening to how the “Mongolian” doctor diagnosed his condition. Hearing these words, he was so angry that he sat up and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground. He shouted angrily: “Here!” I blasted out.”
The wandering doctor ran into the yard before he could wait and continued: “If you don’t wait, I’ll leave and wait for three days to eat happy noodles.”
After the gentleman left, Yao Wang was so angry that he walked on the ground: “What the hell is this? This is not seeing a doctor. Aren’t you trying to beat me, Sun Simiao?” After a while, he felt that his throat was so dry that it was smoking. He hurriedly called the maid. : “Xiaochun, make me a bowl of tea.”
Xiaochun quickly made a bowl of tea and brought it over. When she saw the master walking on the ground, she shouted in surprise: “Master, when can you get out of bed?”
Sun Simiao also woke up and felt bored. How could I get out of bed? He sat on a chair and drank tea while wondering what was going on. He drank a bowl of tea unknowingly. If you think about it, how could you withstand the cup of tea if you haven’t had any water or rice for several days? Your stomach will growl.
At this time, Grandma Yaowang sent the gentleman in to see if the boss was really angry. As soon as they met, the boss spoke before she could ask her questions: “Hurry up and ask the kitchen to get me a bowl of porridge. I’m so hungry.”
The maid ran to the kitchen without waiting for Grandma Yaowang to greet her. After a while, he came in with a bowl of porridge and handed it to Yao Wang. Sun Simiao, the King of Medicine, drank the porridge while snoring. He didn’t bother to talk to the King of Medicine’s grandma about this: “You think this is crazy. I drank so much medicine and didn’t care. I just let this
‘Mongolian’ doctor give it to me.” Now that you’re angry, do you think it’s strange?”
Grandma Yaowang said: “Anyway, the doctor is coming on the third day. You should discuss this with him. I can’t figure it out.”
On the third day, the ringing of bells sounded again in front of Yaowang’s door. Medicine King Sun Simiao seems to be more refreshed and energetic after two days of self-conditioning. As soon as he heard the ringtone, he quickly told the housekeeper: “Sir, sir.” Sun Simiao also hurriedly came out to greet him. Seeing the visiting doctor coming all the way, Sun Simiao greeted him with a salute: “Thank you, sir, for your wonderful hand in rejuvenating yourself.”
The wandering doctor was no longer so arrogant: “Where is Liu Hejian? I’m here to say hello to Senior Shi Wang.” It turns out that the wandering doctor is called Liu Hejian.
When the guests and hosts arrived in the living room and sat down, they exchanged a few polite words with each other. Medicine King Sun Simiao couldn’t wait to ask about Liu Hejian’s treatment for him.
Liu Hejian burst out laughing: “Sir, I caught a cold and felt unwell for a long time. I am at a disadvantage because my advanced medical knowledge has complicated the condition. You have considered all the development trends of the disease and ended up feeling depressed and overworked.
Your students are also following your path. It can cure your illness. Therefore, I pretended to be arrogant and teased you. When your Qi moves, the blood will flow and the blood will disperse. Your illness will naturally be cured.”
Sun Simiao nodded while listening. After listening to what Liu Hejian said, Sun Simiao let out a long sigh: “If you don’t think about it, you will get sick if you don’t think about it. What you said is so reasonable.”
From then on, Sun Simiao and Liu Hejian became close friends. The story of Liu Hejian’s evil treatment of Sun Simiao has also been passed down as a medical legend and has been passed down to this day.
