Taoist Doctor Chapter 2 Pt1

Chapter 2 Pt.1

Taoism has five techniques. That is, spiritual practice, medical skills, numerology, anthroposcopy , and divination.

Many famous doctors in history, such as Tao Hongjing and Sun Simiao, were actually Taoist priests.

In modern times, the two professions have long been unrelated, but there are still some special cases, such as Zhou Jinyuan, Zhou Taoist priests still inherit the medical skills.

——As houju priests, they are not the same as the ordinary Taoist priest in the concept of ordinary people. They can get married and have children, and belong to householder priest.

Zhou Jinyuan read the Chinese materia medica and scriptures from a young age while studying Zhou Yi and the Eight Diagrams.

In the eyes of others, he is a Taoist but he lives in the secular, saying that he is a Chinese medicine pract.i.tioner, and he seems to be more sacred than the “old Chinese medicine doctor” in the psoriasis advertis.e.m.e.nt.

Especially in Haizhou, where he is unfamiliar with his life, he just wanted to treat a child, but he had to mend a lie!

However, he still stubbornly did his best to make a slogan – evil-looking madness is a disease. He also invited two young people to come to the Taoist school next time to listen to the cla.s.s and feel it. Both of them agreed.

Zhou Jinyuan is a native of Yingzhou, but the two provinces are adjacent. There have been large migrations in history and the accents are similar. So no one has known that he is not a local.

The Master Qin of Xianglu Temple and Zhou's father are old acquaintances. They are all religious figures. Now Zhou Jinyuan has come to Haizhou Province, and of course he has visited the mountain.

Out of a small episode of Grandma Yang, it was only a half-hour delay. Under the guidance of Zhao, the two continued to climb up the mountain.

“Shidi Zhou, I heard the Master said that you are coming to Haizhou to work? How can you  bear to leave your hometown?” Watched the scene played 30 minutes ago, Zhao feels Zhou Jinyuan now is much more mysterious than they first met, and it is inevitable to be more curious about his intentions of coming to this city.

Zhou family has been in Yingzhou for centuries, and it is difficult to make them have the heart to leave their motherland. It is one thing to travel in elsewhere, and another matter to stay longer. Zhou Jinyuan's action is a bit confusing.

“It was only after two months that I decided to come…” Zhou Jinyuan was helpless.

Just then, his cell phone rang, Zhao Daochang saw him pick up and listened for a while and then slowed down the tone to the other side: “Snow, I have arrived in Xiangshan. I will come to see you in days. Enjoy your campus life!”

He said a few words about dail care in life, which is quite different from the banter he had shown before.

Zhao couldn't hear the voice in the phone. When Zhou hangs up, he burst out laughing: “Shidi, is this ' Snow' your girlfriend? Are You going to Haizhou for 'Snow'?"

If this is the case, then this dude is young and pa.s.sionate.

As a result, Zhou Jinyuan also laughed. “What are you talking about, ‘Snow' is a boy. I took him as my younger brother. Speak frankly, He was admitted to Haizhou University this year and he is under military training, I am one step late.”

Zhao Daochang made a wrong prediction. and he smiled akwardl: “Shidi, you are not a his physical brother but you love him even more. It is rare to see people will accompany their collegiate relatives.”

He took the trouble of traveling a long distance, just for accompany a half-grown child?

Zhou Jinyuan cut it short: “Snow's brother  and I are the best friends. After his brother left, I have been taking care of him for his brother. Snow… he has been taken by a good university, but he is not willing to leave home.”

… Poor kid!

Zhou Jinyuan did not say much, but where did Snow's parents and other relatives? After the elder brother's accident.Only an outsider would like take care of him, it seems that he is a poor child.

In this way, it is no wonder that the child relies on Shidi Zhou, and it seems that Zhou is quite an affectionate man. Zhao admired him: ” You care for your friend's brother so earnestly without claiming remuneration, a humanistic person like you is rare now .”

Zhou Jinyuan hummed, “I am embarra.s.sed, his brother will give me money every month, I am a paid labor, paid labor.”

Zhao: “Aha? Is not his brother …”

“Oh,” Zhou Jinyuan also found out that he misunderstood. “His parents are making money on the other side of the globe.His brother saw through the world of mortals and became a monk.”

Zhao: “………”

Zhao's mood is complicated. "Sorry, I misapprehended you. What you have said made I thought… and… it's a bit like that…"

Are their family so irresponsible?

“Yeah,right? I think exactly the same with you!” Zhou Jinyuan snorted. “His brother and I are so familiar, why doesn't come to Tao?  Do you think we are not as good as monks?”

Priest Zhao: “…”

……

When Zhou Jinyuan arrived at the Xianglu Temple, he was warmly received by Master Qin . Qin and Zhou's father were not only good friends of Tao, Zhou's father has free him from a serious disease.

“This is the only son of my friend, your father talks about you frequently, saying you are familiar with the cla.s.sics and clever!” Qin introduced Zhou Jinyuan to the other elders of the Xianglu Temple.

A grey haired Taoist said: “Jinyuan, you certainly can't remember me, but I held you in my arm sixteen years ago! You haven't changed much, more delicately handsome, however. I  recognized you at the first glance.”

“You must be Priest Xie Zhongyu, you did not change at all, too, comparing to 16 years ago ," Zhou Jinyuan looked at him and said, "You and Shibo Qin came to Yingzhou together 16 years ago and you have read a paragraph of Master Who Embraces Simplicity for me.”

The Taoist elder looked at Qin. He thought Master Qin introduced him in advance. Sixteen years ago, Zhou Jinyuan was only five years old. He recognized that Zhou Jinyuan was not noting surprising, but Zhou Jinyuan could remember him, and that was unexpected.

Qin Guanzhuo shook his head. “I didn't say a single word.”

“I have an earlyv and good memory.” Zhou Jinyuan nodded his head.

Qin felt proud of Zhou from the bottom of his heart: Zhou's father did not brag. I heard that Jin Yuan has finished his apprenticeship a few years ago and was exploring his own path. It's no wonder that he is a precocious talent.

After the introduction, Qin chatted with Zhou alone.

“Do you want to live with us at Xianglu Temple?” Qin Guan asked.

Zhou Jinyuan came to visit him, not only because of his father's friendship. As an elder, Qin also has an unshirkable responsibility for Zhou's arrival. In fact, Xianglu can provide accommodation as long as Zhou want to stay .

“Thank you, Shibo, but my brother came to college here. I plan to live close to his university and so does he.” Zhou Jinyuan replied, “I will go to work afterwards- I sincerely appreciate your kindness”

“No big deal. You are a just a temporary employee for now, it is not difficult to find a formal job since you have decent certificates.” Qin smiled, he doesn't claim credit for himself.

The vice presidents of Haizhou City Hospital and Master Qin are calligraphy fans, and they have a good relationship.

When he mentioned to the vice President that a nephew wanted to find a job, the vice President said that there was a traditional Chinese medicine department in the No.3 hospitals and there was no vacancy for the moment. However, if he did not mind, he could go there to do temporary work, and the procedure was simple.

Zhou Jinyuan was not a juvenile. He used to go to the clinic with his father. Later, he treated his patients alone but her have never worked in the hospital. When he first came to Haizhou, he was not familiar with here. He could only find a unit first.

Actually, after his doc.u.ments were obtained, he was qualified to be a doctor. He considered setting up a Chinese medicine clinic. Of course, not now yet. Because his family is not wealth and is saving money.

I hope that I will save enough money one day to achieve my goals. Speaking of which… What is the performance level of this unit is?

Haizhou City No.3 Hospital Residential Area

Qin, together with Zhou Jinyuan, visited Vice President Xiao of the No.3 Hospitals. After a few days, Zhou Jinyuan is going to work,  he wants to thank him in person.

Vice President Xiao is nearly fifty years old. He is temperamental and elegant. He has just returned from a meeting with his superiors and his jacket has not been taken off. It's only himself in his house. After Brought two people in, Vice President Xiao greeted with Master Qin a few minutesthe  couldn't help but size up Zhou Jinyuan.

Zhou Jinyuan did not wear a robe but a T-shirt and jeans today which looked even more youthful.

“Didn't you say that Xiao Zhou* is twenty-one? Why does he looks so young!” Vice Dean Xiao is not the first person to issue such a question, Zhou Jinyuan is used to it.

*Xiao is a unis.e.x Chinese name and has many meanings including ‘dawn, morning', ‘little' or ‘respectful, reverent'. It can also be used in with a person's last name to call younger generation eg with a surname Chan, anyone that is older will call the younger person Xiao Chan.

If I hadn't watched you grow up, I'd have thought you were lying about your age.” Qin guan Lord also quipped

“Come on, have some fruits.” Vice President Xiao and Zhou Jinyuan chatted a few words. He himself learned western medicine in college, and now he does management work, then he  also need to know about traditional Chinese medicine more or less.In addition, the other Taoist priest ident.i.ty of Zhou let him more interested.

“We have a lot of colleagues in the hospital's Chinese medicine department, but But they don't seem to have faith.” Vice President Xiao is very interested in him. “You are a Taoist and a doctor . Which one do you like more?”

Zhou Jinyuan replied quickly: “Before you get the Tao, cultivate longevity. To build a long life, first remove its disease.

Vice-President Xiao laughed happily. He and Qin Guanzhu were so familiar. In fact, the so-called Taoist and doctor are closely linked. He also heard a little bit about the medicinal king Sun Sizhen, who was born as a Taoist priest, is an ancient Chinese celebrity. He could not have never heard of him even if he is a Western doctor.

But unexpectedly, when he teased the young fellow, Zhou Jinyuan used a few words to explain the problem from another angle, which was very interesting.

“Then you have to study hard and improve your medical skills!” Vice President Xiao likes the child very much. Now he encourages him.

“It's so late, my wife and my mother they haven't come back yet." Xiao looked at the time and worried.

At the time, the front door opened.

“Old Xiao, can you do something to help? Mom is still badly ill!” Mrs. Xiao looked extremely worried when she entered the door.

Zhou Jinyuan turns his head when he hears the sound and looks at her. Mrs. Xiao is helping an old woman. The old woman looks pale and bitter. She touches her abdomen with one hand and burps incessantly. Her body vibrates and makes an ER Er sound.

“What happened to Auntie?” Qin Guanzhu was shocked.

He was not the first time to see Xiao's mom, but her complexion has never been as bad as it look now.

Xiao said two words dully: “She belches.”

Qin is more confused. He has never seen it before. Burping can torture people like this.
