Chapter 369 Speculation
Seeing Sun Simiao hesitating, Zhang Zong did not force him, but smiled again and said, "Old Doctor Sun, this matter is of great importance. You may need some time to consider it. It just so happened that I had nothing to do. I heard that Fengkong Mountain is beautiful, so Taiping and I also want to visit here for two more days. It is not too late to wait until the old Doctor thinks clearly before telling me!"
"It's so good. If Mr. Zhang is interested, I can serve as a guide to take you to visit Fengkong Mountain!" Sun Simiao was relieved when he heard this. After all, he really needed time to think about this matter.
"That's great. Emperor Taizong praised Taoist priest as a teacher of hundreds of generations. I also had many questions to ask Taoist priest for advice!" Taiping immediately agreed happily when he heard that Sun Simiao was willing to take them to Fengkong Mountain himself.
Zhang Zong was a little worried about Sun Simiao's health. After all, no matter how good he was in his spirit, he was still an old man over a hundred years old. However, when Sun Simiao changed into clothes and took them up the mountain, Zhang Zong realized that he had underestimated Sun Simiao's health. The old man was flexible when climbing the mountain and was no worse than the young people like them.
Yaowang Mountain is actually just a very small mountain, only 5 miles in a radius and only more than 100 meters high. However, the products here are rich and are very suitable for the growth of various medicinal materials. Especially after Sun Simiao lived in seclusion here, he planted various medicinal materials on the mountain, making the entire mountain a large medicinal garden.
Although Sun Simiao is old, he still often goes up the mountain to collect herbs. Many of these medicines were planted by him before. In addition, this is his hometown, and he has grown up on the mountain since he was a child, so he is very familiar with every grass, tree, mountain and stone here.
Although Fengkong Mountain is not high or big, the scenery is very beautiful. In addition, it has just snowed and the entire mountain is covered with snow, which looks very majestic, so Zhang Zong and Taiping are also very interested. In addition, Sun Simiao introduced them to the historical favors of Fengkong Mountain to them while walking, which makes people feel that this trip is worthwhile.
Soon the group climbed to the top of the mountain and saw that the surrounding mountains were surrounded by snow-white land, and the pedestrians at the foot of the mountain were like ants. Although this place was not Mount Tai, it actually made people feel like "climbing Mount Tai and being small in the world."
There is a pavilion on the top of the mountain, which should be specially designed for people to rest. Taiping was tired at this time, so he asked the maid to pull a cloth around the pavilion to block the wind, and also raise the stove, and then asked Zhang Zong and Sun Simiao to rest in the pavilion together.
Taiping personally cooked tea and also brought various snacks. Zhang Zong and Sun Simiao sat opposite each other, chatting while tasting tea. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Zong also asked Sun Simiao about health preservation. This was also what Sun Simiao was most proud of, so the other party talked about health preservation.
However, in general, Sun Simiao's health preservation is mainly divided into two aspects: inside and outside. The so-called inside actually means maintaining peace of mind, which is also the basis of health preservation. The outside refers to the combination of movement and stillness, focusing on diet, etc.
When talking about health preservation, we have to mention the impact of medicine on health preservation. It can even be said that health preservation is a part of medicine, and Zhang Zong also used the topic of health preservation to express some medical concepts in later generations.
Sun Simiao was not an old-fashioned person. Even when he was studying medicine, he also referred to medicine from India and the Western Regions. Therefore, he not only did not reject the medical concepts proposed by Zhang Zong, but also listened very seriously.
As Zhang Zong talked about more and more, Sun Simiao became more and more surprised as he listened, because the medical concepts Zhang Zong talked about were no longer some messy concepts, but were formed into a system, and all medical theories can be confirmed in this system. Although these medical theories are completely different from traditional medical theories, they have the same destination and can also explain the origin of many diseases.
With this discovery, Sun Simiao's expression became more and more serious, and he even took the initiative to ask some questions. Zhang Zong also answered one by one. The current medical conditions may not be enough for him to see a doctor, but he is still very clear about some medical concepts, especially his understanding of the various circulatory systems inside the human body, which are far beyond this era.
Taiping originally wanted to chat with Sun Simiao and reminisce about the past, but he didn't expect that Zhang Zong and Sun Simiao would become more and more speculative as they talked about, and she couldn't even get into the conversation.
However, when she saw Zhang Zong talking endlessly about something that she couldn't understand but shocked Sun Simiao, she couldn't help but feel very proud. This is her husband and the man she wants to accompany her for the rest of her life. Maybe she will never understand Zhang Zong's extensive knowledge in life, but it does not affect his admiration and love for Zhang Zong.
Sun Simiao and Zhang Zong became more and more devoted. The two even completely forgot about the passage of time. The charcoal in the stove had been changed several times, and Taiping also cooked tea several times. However, they only picked up the tea cup and drank it all when they were dry, and they had no idea about the changes in the outside world.
Finally, it was almost dark that Taiping interrupted the two of them helplessly and suggested going down the mountain. However, during the process of going down the mountain, Zhang Zong and Sun Simiao were still talking while walking. In fact, Zhang Zong was nothing, but Sun Simiao extracted a lot of nutrition from the medical concept proposed by Zhang Zong, which made his understanding of medicine reach a higher level. He had some problems that he couldn't understand before, and then he suddenly realized.
It is precisely because of this that Sun Simiao was so devoted to talking. He originally slept before dark in winter. In normal times, he should have gone to bed and rested at this time, but now he is getting more and more energetic and has no sleepiness at all.
After returning to the medicine garden, Sun Simiao also asked someone to prepare supper and insisted on leaving Zhang Zong and Taiping. It was already dark at this time, and it had just snowed and the road was not easy to walk on, so Zhang Zong agreed.
However, that night, Zhang Zong chatted with Sun Simiao until midnight. Taiping was cooking tea and cutting lamps on the side at first, but slowly got sleepy. Finally, he fell asleep on Zhang Zong. It was not until then that Sun Simiao woke up and asked Zhang Zong to take Taiping back to rest. They could talk tomorrow.
In fact, when he came today, Zhang Zong did not plan to stay at Sun Simiao, but he did not expect that Sun Simiao was so fascinated by the medical concepts of later generations, so he had to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman. But what he did not expect was that he had lived there for several days.
These days, Zhang Zong and Sun Simiao were almost inseparable. As long as they got together, they would chat endlessly. At first, they were limited to medicine, but later they even talked about some miscellaneous studies. For example, what surprised Zhang Zong was that Sun Simiao actually knew how to make gunpowder, but the gunpowder he made was mainly used for alchemy, and it was not very powerful and could not be used in military affairs.
