Chapter 182 Ten Essentials of Physician
A soft voice, like a divine healer descending, slowly chanted, transforming into streams of green energy that continuously merged with the pool of talent in the sky. At the same time, the vortex of talent constantly changed color, eventually turning completely dark green.
A vibrant aura spread throughout the area, eliciting gasps of surprise from everyone present.
"The power of life? It can actually generate the power of life? How is that possible!"
A member of the Chinese family stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.
The highest level of medical skill is to bring the dead back to life. This is because medical practitioners are quite different from many other noble families. They emphasize practice and, in addition to their literary skills, they also possess their own system of levels of attainment.
This is also why it is difficult for doctors to enter the medical field.
"The power of life? His words actually transformed into the power of life. No wonder the scalpel stopped instantly. Any tool is useless in the face of absolute life."
The head of the Hua family looked at the green vortex, a look of shock flashing across his eyes, and said.
"I didn't expect you to actually have some talent. But I'd like to ask, if I use my medical skills to save people of all levels, how many people who could be saved will die because of the wasted time? Saving people who are known to be beyond saving is just a waste of resources. The Analects of Confucius says, 'Life and death are preordained, wealth and honor are determined by Heaven.' A person's life, death, and all their fates are determined by destiny. Once the situation has unfolded, human effort cannot reverse it. What wrong have I done?"
Hua Shengming's tone contained a hint of anger, and then he said in a low voice that the talent around him was also surging out, although it did not surpass Ye Ru, it was also closely approaching.
However, everyone's attention was still focused on Ye Ru.
"It must be said that this is truly comparable to the famous debate topic of Gongsun Long, 'A white horse is not a horse.'"
"I wonder if the famous experts here will get itchy to fight; their families are all masters of debate."
Many people drew parallels to the debates among famous figures, and voices rose one after another.
"Since we're talking about Confucianism, you should know about the relationship between Confucianism and medicine, right? They have different attributes, but they share the same origin. The core of Confucianism is 'benevolence,' and the goal of medicine is to save lives and heal the wounded, which is in line with 'benevolence.' Medicine practitioners believe that medicine is a benevolent art, and the medical standard is that benevolent people love others. As far as I know, back then your school mainly treated high-ranking officials and advocated that officials were first-class, scholars were second-class, and common people were third-class. These kinds of statements were also put forward by your medical school?"
"The philosophies of physicians and scholars are different. Physicians are benevolent, with a heart to help the world and the people, and a spirit of inclusiveness towards the poor and the rich. As a physician, I dare to propose ten standards, and I humbly request that you gentlemen help to correct them."
Ye Ru's words caused many people's expressions to change.
"Ten standards? I know you are exceptionally talented and courageous, but if you're just here to show off, you seem to have come to the wrong place."
Hua Shengming frowned, then sneered, "At this moment, the vortexes of talent behind the two are evenly matched. If they are used to attack, they will probably both suffer heavy losses."
"Is this Chief Scholar Ye so arrogant that he doesn't even know who he is?"
"This seems like a joke. They were all reasonable before, but now they dare to declare war on all the families of the Medicine Saints?"
In the eyes of these members of the Medicine Saint family, Ye Ru's actions were undoubtedly a declaration of war against the entire Medicine Saint family.
"Absurd. How could he possibly shake the entire Medicine Saint Family with his own strength? The Hua family is just one part of the Medicine Saint Family. The Bian family, the Zhang family, and the powerful Huangfu family are not outsiders."
A scholar from the Hua family, who had passed the imperial examination, curled his lip in disdain.
"This……"
Chen Sijun also looked solemn; Ye Ru's actions had taken him by surprise.
"Nonsense!"
Hua Mufeng's expression also changed. Although he really wanted to return to the Hua family, Ye Ru's desperate move made him extremely annoyed.
After all, if Ye Ru loses this debate, not only will his literary reputation be ruined, but Confucian scholars will also likely not tolerate him.
Ye Ru remained unmoved. In his previous life, he had personally experienced something: in that other world, pure lands like schools and hospitals had become centers of exorbitant profits. Perhaps this was a case of things going to extremes and then reversing, doing good deeds while wearing a clean cloak.
In this life, he may have the ability to change the world, so he will use ten, twenty, or thirty percent of his strength to do his best to make the world a better place, thus upholding the legacy of his ancestors!
Many people were watching Ye Ru, some were looking forward to a good show, some were worried, and some were gloating.
If Ye Ru's suggestion is adopted by the Medicine Saint Family, then his literary reputation will become famous throughout the Medicine Saint Family!
"For a doctor, having a benevolent heart is a good principle; giving generously to help the masses brings profound benefits."
The two paths of Confucianism and Taoism are invaluable treasures for Confucian physicians; the principles are worth understanding, and all books should be studied.
Ye Ru's words kept replaying in everyone's minds, causing their expressions to change.
They understood the meaning of this statement, after all, they also knew that Confucian and Taoist medicine was deeply influenced by Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, emphasizing benevolence and using skills as a means of application, which was known to all those who studied medicine.
"These two sentences are both reasonable and pertinent, but I don't know what the remaining eight sentences are."
The head of the Hua family pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he said.
"Is this... striking metal and stone?"
Hua Shengming felt his book's core begin to shake, which immediately changed his expression.
He never expected that Ye Ru's words would have such a profound impact!
Ye Ru had never heard of this before, but he recited the "Ten Essentials of Medicine" from Gong Tingxian's book "Returning Spring to All Diseases" word by word.
The three meridians should be distinguished as exterior and interior…
"I recognize the four causes of disease, and dare to speak out even in the face of death..."
With each step Ye Ru took, the vortex of talent behind him underwent tremendous changes, initially becoming a pool of talent, then gradually transforming into a spring of talent, and finally into a beach of talent.
The expressions of the members of the various noble families changed accordingly, from initial ridicule to later seriousness, and then to deathly silence. After listening to Ye Ru's ten essential medical principles, everyone's heart was filled with turbulent waves.
"Understanding the five elements and their cycles allows us to comprehend the order of the years..."
"The six meridians are accurate in diagnosing diseases..."
Click!
"what happened?"
"Look, the stone beneath the boy's feet has cracked."
Countless people stared wide-eyed as the stone slabs around Ye Ru began to crumble inch by inch. This scene filled Hua Shengming and the others with extreme horror.
"It wasn't just striking metal and breaking stone, but it reached the point of piercing clouds and splitting rocks!"
At this moment, Ye Ru had closed his eyes, as if he had entered a strange realm. He was surrounded by hundreds of medicines, and countless medical classics surrounded him. Even the Siku Quanshu (Complete Library of the Four Treasuries) began to tremble.
Ye Ru's calm words echoed throughout the world, leaving the members of the Medicine Saint family present in complete silence.
"Seven, understand the properties of medicines and formulate prescriptions accordingly... Eight, master the processing methods and pay close attention to the heat... Nine, avoid jealousy and avoid acting based on personal likes or dislikes... Ten, do not prioritize profit and uphold benevolence and righteousness..."
