Chapter 77 The Core Inheritance of Baicaomen
Chen Ming's expression suddenly became excited. As long as there was no copyright issue involved, he could handle it himself. Whether to give it or sell it, it was not a big problem.
"You are so lucky..." Wang Xi pointed to the medical book, "Do you know, what is the origin of this medical book?"
"If my senior sister doesn't tell me, I definitely don't know." Chen Ming replied honestly, he definitely couldn't know.
According to the old village chief, this medical book was given to him by a man from the world when he was young. At that time, the man was still seriously injured and did not survive in the end because of lack of medicine.
On his dying day, he handed the medical book over to the old village chief. The old village chief had no education, but he still recognized the word Hua Tuo. He thought this thing should be worth a little money, so he left it. As for the origin, he didn't want to have anything to do with the world, so he didn't ask.
As for Chen Ming himself, he was not even a man in the world a few months ago, and it was even more impossible for him to know the origin of this medical book.
"The origin of this book is not simple!" Wang Xi stroked the thread-bound book with his hand. "It should have a history of two hundred years. I have to say that all the owners of all generations have kept it well, which is the most fortunate thing."
"Senior sister, don't keep it a secret, tell me directly, okay?" Chen Ming was naturally even more curious about Wang Xi.
"Okay." Wang Xi didn't say nonsense, "This secret book has a direct relationship with a sect that was destroyed two hundred years ago - Baicao Sect! Or in other words, this medical book is the core inheritance of Baicao Sect!"
"Baicaomen?" Chen Ming had a good memory, but he was sure that he had finished reading this medical book and did not have these three words.
"Well, the first half of this medical book should be the medical skills of Baicao Sect, which also includes a small part of poisoning and detoxification methods. There is also a set of massage techniques and a set of acupuncture methods; the second half, in fact, the last part, is the core martial arts of Baicao Sect, "Five Animal Fighting Method" and the health-preserving and breathing method "Turtle Breathing Method". Now it is renamed "Hua Tuo Can Pendant", and it is probably the holder did it so that he did it for the sake of keeping it confidential!" Wang Xi pointed to the book and said, "At least the staff who reviewed this book said that."
"This book..." Chen Ming looked at the medical books on the table. It didn't look that thick. "It's actually the inheritance of this thing?!"
"The core inheritance is probably enough. Baicao Sect was also a small sect two hundred years ago. They made friends with sects in the martial arts world with medical skills. Many times, they did not need their disciples to take action, so there would naturally be people in the martial arts world who were good friends with them to help. In terms of the duration of the sect, Baicao Sect can actually be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. They also claimed to be disciples of the Medicine King Sun Simiao and established sects." Wang Xi immediately explained seriously.
Taking this medical skill as the core inheritance, and then treating the heroes of the martial arts world in exchange for some low-end secrets. Over time, there are actually quite a lot of books in Baicao Sect.
"Then, why did this sect destroy the family?" Chen Ming remembered that Wang Xi said that this sect destroyed the family. Moreover, it had been destroyed more than two hundred years ago.
"A man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. It means that when a person has something very valuable but cannot protect it, it is a sin in itself. Baicao Sect is protected by the rich merchants in the world, so the disciples of this sect have worked hard to study medical skills and forget to strengthen their martial arts. Finally, one day, the people of the evil sect jointly incited several large and large sects, and two hundred years ago, they destroyed Baicao Sect and looted all their collections of books and medicines." Wang Xi sighed.
Speaking of this, she looked at Chen Ming: "This experience of Baicao Sect also made other martial arts sects realize that only by strong force can they protect themselves. Just like Wuhu Sect, although they have focused on developing business in recent years, they are also working hard to improve the combat effectiveness of the sects."
In order to ensure that the disciples have more time to practice martial arts and ensure nutritional supply, five years ago, the sect provided three meals a day for their disciples. At the same time, the inner disciples also began to pay monthly fees, and the inner disciples doubled the monthly fees.
Various benefits are constantly coming out, and it is said that it is not enough to avoid this little money. In fact, it is to reduce the cost of disciples to practice martial arts and to have more time to practice martial arts.
"Then why..." Chen Ming was very confused. Since the Baicao Sect had already destroyed the family two hundred years ago, the core skills of the other sect have reappeared now.
"This medical book has not been registered with the Cultural Bureau so far, which means it has been collected by someone. Maybe it is a residual disciple of Baicao Sect, or a descendant of the lucky one who participated in the extermination of the family and then obtained this secret book by chance. Similarly, because this secret book is too precious, after this medical book is exposed, he also faced a catastrophe. Perhaps it was at that time when he met your old village chief?" Wang Xi sighed.
"I hold this book now, is it okay?" Chen Ming was a little worried.
"You are from my Wuhu Sect, who dares to touch you?" Wang Xi smiled, "But after knowing the origin of this medical book, it is estimated that the sect will pay a lot of money to purchase the right of use or even ownership from you."
"But, isn't this the secret of Baicao Sect? Survivors come to the door at that time..." Chen Ming was a little worried.
"First of all, how do you prove that the other party is from Baicao Sect? Secondly, if the core inheritance is not lost, then the Baicao Sect will not look for you. If it is lost, then what qualifications do they have to regard themselves as Baicao Sect's people?
For example, you grew up in Shaolin Temple, and then you learned the martial arts of the Wudang Sect, and then claimed to be the descendant of the Five Humen Ancestor... You have to come to your door to take away the secret books of your ancestor." Wang Xi smiled when he heard this, and then made an example.
"Where is such a rogue?" Chen Ming immediately retorted.
"So in this situation, according to the rules of the world, even if the person who comes to the door is really a descendant of a disciple of Baicao Sect, he is not qualified to own this medical book. In this situation, it is called "the virtue of the people are here." Wang Xi smiled.
"Why does it feel like it's a bit rogue..." Chen Ming pointed at himself.
"It's not everything that can be done perfectly." Wang Xi shook his head, "It's just that, the issue of the ownership of medical books will be clearer."
"Well, indeed. If the other party gets the secret book and then hand it over to the Wudang Sect, will the copyright of the secret book ultimately belong to the Wudang Sect or our Five Tiger Sect?" Chen Ming probably understood.
"That's it, so you can have this medical book with peace of mind. If you have time, you can also study the medical books on it. Anyway, you are also studying medicine. Back then, Baicaomen relied on the medical skills of this book to make a name for themselves. Now this book is in your hands, and it may not be impossible to achieve something big in the future." Wang Xi sighed.
This junior brother was lucky. When his elders came, he sent a book such a precious medical book.
"Two hundred years have passed, and no martial arts similar to the "Five Animal Fighting Technique" and "Turtle Breathing Technique" have come out?" Chen Ming suddenly realized a problem.
"Yes!" Wang Xi nodded, "But after verification, it was found that there are no martial arts registered in the existing martial arts, with a similarity of more than 30% to these two sets of martial arts. By the way, I have helped to register this medical book! The copyright certificate will probably be sent after the New Year. In other words, the state will verify that you are the only legal holder of this medical book!"
"I have another question in the end..." Chen Ming thought for a while, "Why has Baicao Sect been destroyed? The Cultural Bureau can still infer that this book is the inheritance of Baicao Sect?"
"The Baicao Sect was destroyed, but the information files of each sect have relevant information about the Baicao Sect and even some other sects, including these sects that have been destroyed. What is their core inheritance and martial arts, there is no specific information, but at least there is a move name and a general description.
The relevant departments of the Cultural Bureau have specially collected these materials to form archives to facilitate verification and confirmation of the value and content of the secret book. I sent out the prescriptions, the names of the fight method and the turtle breath method, and then excerpted a paragraph of content. After the other party reviewed and compared it, they confirmed that this is undoubtedly the core inheritance of Baicao Sect, and it is that simple." Wang Xi replied.
"No need...to finish reading them all?" Chen Ming was a little surprised.
"Junior Brother Chen, at this time, you need to learn to protect your own interests." Wang Xi pointed to this medical book and said solemnly.
