Chapter 27 Chapter 26 The Third Book

"Tiandihui: Medical Skills, Medicine and Medical Way" is a book I read not too long ago. When I read it, I was probably like a small pebble on the bed of a river, letting the weak water murmur three thousand times. Flowing through, there is (maybe) a sense of joyful, fertile happiness in the moment of reading.But as I once said: I did not like those who love to read and are good at reading, savoring carefully from beginning to end, so as to leave a deep impression or gain valuable lessons.I'm not that kind of person.Over the years, I have almost never finished the book. I always read almost the same place and subconsciously escaped in order not to draw any "conclusion" about this book-that is, I picked a random one from this book. Doubt, a problem, and escape to another book that might hold the answer. "Tiandihui: Medical Skills, Medicine and Medical Way" was read and watched by me under such circumstances.It was the third book I read with this connecting method in a bookstore "Sanmin Bookstore" on Chongqing South Road in Taipei City one afternoon.

It wasn’t until a long time later—during which time I managed to finish my master’s thesis "The Literary Environment of the Western Han Dynasty", served as a soldier, worked as a professional writer for two years, and served as the editor-in-chief of a supplement for a certain evening newspaper that was opened due to the lifting of martial law. At the same time, I returned to my alma mater, Fu Jen Catholic University, to teach one or two courses on modern novels and prose. After nearly ten years of mixing, many readers began to know me through my works. It is a page-filling material that reports my life, my work, and even some nonsense opinions on society, politics, and any nonsense public domain that I don’t know how to restrain myself from chatting with others.As a result, the number of people who knew me gradually increased, and the days when I was able to hide everywhere and escape at any time like a mouse became less and less—I don’t even care that more and more strangers will be on the main road, dumpling restaurants, etc. Calling my name in the bathroom or between the urinals in the public restrooms.It was a disaster; a guy who claimed to be my loyal reader recognized me in the public toilet in Youth Park and yelled: "Zhang Dachun!" Turning around at the same time, but he didn't stop peeing - you can imagine Well, the so-called celebrities who have been pissed are actually very depressed and almost collapsed.

It was in June of the eighty-one year of the Republic of China, a few days after the historical novelist Gao Yang passed away, I just unpacked the books and manuscripts he bequeathed to browse casually, and suddenly found that in "Tiandihui: Medical Skills, Medicine On the cover of the book "Health and Medicine" there are five big characters: "This is a true novel." It is obviously not a novel we are used to, but a study of Ye Gui, a famous doctor handed down during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. As well as the history of the distribution and evolution of medicine and Taoism under his sect, why did Gao Yang say that it is a "true novel"?At that moment, the name of the author of this book came into view—reminding me of the old man with long and big front teeth I heard from Sun Xiaoliu in Youth Park: Wang Xunru.

In the afternoon when I returned to the Youth Park almost in a mood of mourning, the sky was drizzled. I don't know what I really want to pay homage to?A friendship with Gao Yang as a teacher and student as well as a friend?Yes.He and Sun Xiaoliu wandered here for days and nights without being known to anyone, and finally had a long time with Master Peng's absurd past?also yes.However—while I was wet my pants by that bastard daredevil loyal reader—I suddenly felt: the most worthy of sympathy should be those lives that seem to be gone forever, evading like mice, that is It's really the part that makes people yearn for it.

It's a bit sentimental or sentimental to say that.I think it's better for me to tell the whole story in a line drawing way-they may seem to be simple and simple facts, but in this way I will not miss anything; and only in this way, I can know why the future me The real reason for becoming sentimental and promiscuous. It was not only the right side of my trousers that was wet by the loyal reader of the daredevil, but also the book "Health, Medicine and Medicine of the Tiandihui" rolled up in my right hand - the author is Wang Xunru - from Ye Gui, Lu Siniang The following are the records of the evolution of medicine taught by "Heluo Erwang".

Maybe it is due to my bad habit of not wanting to finish any book when I read it. When I first browsed this book in Sanmin Bookstore, I didn't notice: At the end of the book, there is such a record, which is about Wang Xunru. My own experience during the 53rd to 55th years of the Republic of China.I will first transcribe this record below: "Anyone who has paid a little attention to modern history and its surrounding materials will know that He Guiqing, who served as the governor of Liangjiang in the past, and later accused Xu Youren of impeaching him before he died in the festival, was here. After the Fa-rectification, his descendants once joined the Tiandihui with hatred and vowed to deal with the Manchu and Qing Tartars. This kind of action that seems to be crowned with the righteousness of the Han nation is actually unreasonable-because it may be just a false excuse; If this excuse can be established, I would like to ask: Should Wang Fu's family and descendants, who once saved He Guiqing's life but were framed to death by He Guiqing, also join an organization against the Heaven and Earth Society, "swear to the death to deal with the He clan" Woolen cloth?

"Actually, He Guiqing's first son and third grandson joined the Tiandihui for another reason; it was recruited in response to the reward of a thousand gold from the Tiandihui! - It should be said that it was a bribe - to check the "Wang Jiayi branch" passed down The whereabouts of Lu’s Bronze Figure Book. The author explained in the introduction of this book the reason why the Tiandihui raised this fund: since the author’s tenth ancestor, Shuo Mingong, the Lu’s Bronze Figure Book is divided into hereditary and disciple It has been passed down through two paths; one is called Wang’s family doctor and the other is called Lumen’s doctor. The reason why the “Lv” family is advertised is that Shuo Mingong said that he should not forget the origin inherited from Lu Siniang. However, the Lumen’s family of doctors During the Daoguang period, they often combined with members of the Tiandihui party. Although they often donated acupuncture and medicine to help the poor, they were neglected to study carefully, resulting in a lack of further discoveries and achievements in the three levels of art, Taoism, and learning. Invention. If it was only because of this reason, Lumen doctor and Wang family doctor were diverted from each other, and they would go their own way without disturbing each other. There was no competition between superiors and inferiors. However, trying to rob Wang family doctor with the help of gang forces The operation of "Lv Shi Bronze Book" has never stopped once it started; the author unfortunately became the victim and witness of this vicious act. The following are some persecutions that the author personally encountered: "The author was in the Republic of China In June 1953, I booked a flight ticket for Civil Aviation Flight No. 106 from Taichung to Taipei on the 20th of that month. I was unable to board the plane in time due to a temporary medical visit, but the plane suddenly exploded and crashed five minutes after takeoff. , all forty-eight passengers and nine crew members on board were killed, and none survived. "

At this point in the transcription, I have to pause for a moment to make a little addition—even on the afternoon when I was sheltering from the rain in a gazebo in Youth Park, when I read this passage written by Wang Xunru, I thought for a long time and marveled. a long time. Because I remember clearly: it was a very serious air crash.At the time of the air crash, I was only in the first grade of elementary school, and I was excitedly looking forward to the summer vacation. My eldest brother came home suddenly and asked my mother if she knew what was going on.The eldest brother asked again: "Where's uncle?" My mother had already quickly put two jewelry boxes the size of lunch bags into her bosom, and hurriedly answered him: "He's still in the ministry, and he won't be able to come back after the war." . ” Then my eldest brother said that there was no war, but a plane fell from the sky.Then he said a few names, but I didn't recognize any of them. Until that night, on the second, third... and I don't know how many days, the radio was broadcasting at any time that the plane that fell from the sky was sitting in a big boat. A bunch of important people who have just participated in the Asian Film Festival—the most important one among them is Lu Yuntao, who is a "giant in the film industry".At that time, I didn't understand why the saw had a name, and I didn't know how great Lu Yuntao was.But what my elder brother cares about is a person named Long Fang. It is said that Long Fang is the boss of the film company where my elder brother works-if what my elder brother whispered to my father later is correct (or it should be said that I You heard me right), then Long Fang is also a bachelor of the old Cao Gang.My father's answer to him was very simple: "Mind your own business and stop talking nonsense!" Then the two of them drank Wujiapi all night.

Many years later, some newspapers and magazines revived this old case, saying that the reason for the sudden explosion of the plane was actually something hidden—it was done by the CCP to punish a resolutely anti-communist film tycoon like Lu Yuntao. The next act.Was this conjecture confirmed in the end?I can't remember it anymore, but I always remember that my eldest brother blushed with a drunken face, and said cursedly: "Who can do this kind of thing except those bastards from Tiandihui?" Sitting in the gazebo enduring the faint smell of urine from time to time, several doubts appeared in my mind: If the flight 106 belonging to the "civil airline" did not explode due to a mechanical failure , and it is indeed suspected that someone detonated it artificially, why has the truth not been announced?If it was indeed done by CCP spies, wouldn't it be the best example to remind everyone to beware of "bandit spies"?Assuming my big brother's judgment is true, then why would "those bastards of Tiandihui" attack a bunch of big bosses of film companies?Furthermore, assuming that the target of the attack should only be Long Fang, the old bachelor of the Cao Gang, and the rest were wronged and buried with him, why did Wang Xunru mention this case in the last chapter of his book?Apparently, he implied in that account that he was the one who had intended to be killed by the person who blew up the plane.So, I quickly opened the scroll and continued to read——

"This air crash is an event that attracts the attention of the whole country, and it is also an event where the truth is unknown and the hidden truth is hidden; because in the minds of the general public, it is isolated and sporadic, and no one will compare it with other people. Events that have happened and will happen in the future are observed together; without such observation, it is more difficult to trace the cause of a single event. "The reason why the author pointed out again and again in this book: Tiandihui persecuted Wang's family doctor in the course of its development, and constantly instigated Lumen doctor to fight against Wang's family doctor; its purpose is precisely to Exposing the members of the Tiandi Society not only created many devastating disasters to destroy a medical system, but also concealed the true colors of the culprits through the public's forgetfulness of individual disasters.

"These disasters are all countable and testable. For example: On November 7, 1952, the "Heluohan Acupuncture and Moxibustion Hospital" opened by the author on Guanqian Road, Taipei City suddenly broke into the hospital. Several gangsters rummaged through boxes and suitcases, and destroyed all the facilities in the courtyard, but did not take away any money. The leader was a man named "Luo Qiang", who left behind A threatening sentence: "Bachelor Hong Ying can't tolerate Wang's family doctor living here! "However, after uttering threats, this person did not want to lose a staff card that he worked as a security guard at the Japanese embassy in my country. The author immediately called the police and dealt with it. At about 6 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, "Luo Qiang" returned to the hospital, intending to get back the lost card. Clashed with criminal police officers who were investigating the scene, unable to overcome their strength, hid on the top of an 11-storey building opposite the hospital, confronted the police for ten hours, and finally avoided deliberately at 5 o'clock in the morning on November 8 The fire safety net fell to his death. "The prosecutors and police officers who originally planned to investigate the matter in depth came to the hospital two days later and told the author: Since "Luo Qiang" had committed suicide and died, this damaged case should be announced to be withdrawn. The author refused to agree, and the prosecutors and police officers But he told him: "If there is no mastermind behind Luo, then there is nothing to pursue in this case; if there is a mastermind, you and I can't afford to pursue it. " "Five days after the case of "a mentally abnormal man committed suicide by jumping off a building", the "Nine National Congress of the Kuomintang" was held in the Zhongzheng Hall of the Armed Forces University in the suburbs of Taipei. On the first day, nineteen people including Zhang Daofan, Gu Zhenggang, Zhou Zhirou, and Zhang Qiyun were elected as the chairman. Chairman, Hong Dazhan, the head of the first tributary of the Brotherhood of the Tiandihui in Taiwan, is also ranked as the first reserve vice chairman; Hong Dazhan was able to use his influence in the political circle to urge the country's elder brother Chen Gongli The National Medical Research Center was established, with the name of combining Chinese and Western medicine, promoting Chinese medicine as a crown, and collecting family secrets as a means; the most important purpose was to force the author to hand over the "Lu Shi Bronze Book" and withdraw from it. This way, the Wang family doctor will never be in the Jianghu. "The Civil Aviation Flight 1.6 crash in June of the 53rd Republic of China is another cruel and bloody evidence. The day before, the author happened to treat a veteran anti-Japanese general with cerebral hemorrhage at the Taichung First Market. The director of the film studio, Long Fang, called the old general's residence to express his greetings, and told him that he was accompanying the distinguished guests of the Asia-Pacific Film Festival to visit the southern part of the country, and the return journey would fly north from Taichung. Here, why not come to Shechang for a while? "Long Fang heard that the author was also there, so she ordered to answer the call, and told the author: The "Luo Qiang" case has already begun, and it is not only related to Hong, but may also be related to some political actions in Japan; It is a pity that it is inconvenient to have a long conversation on the phone, and I can’t say goodbye to the VIP. I simply agreed to return to Taipei on the same flight the next day, and I can tell you the truth during the journey. The author promised the appointment on the phone and asked Long Fang Booked a ticket on behalf of me. However, the old general became ill that night, and the author had to miss the appointment. Little did he know that flight 106 exploded and crashed. "If the disaster only ends here, the author may not be vigilant and awakened. However, on the night of the lotus pond meeting in August 1954 in the Republic of China, Mr. Wan Yanfang died without any reason. We, the desperate old men, have searched for many ways, but what is regrettable and hateful is: the old man, with weakened muscles and weak bones, and exhausted intellect; can he find a truth before the deadline? Is it possible? How many deep and dark corners can be illuminated by the residual light of the residual wax in the wind? This is indeed what the author is eagerly looking forward to. Can the Wang family doctor avoid disasters and escape danger, pass on a good hand, prosper, and save the world? Human beings are even more of the author's moribund and dilapidated dream." Wang Xunru's book ends in such a passage full of annoyance, resentment and helplessness.The moment I closed the book, I sighed involuntarily, and there was a large block of stuff between my chest—like a sponge soaked with thick juice?This is the first book I've actually read in ages.It's been too long since I've tasted this, so I must say frankly: after reading a book-that is, understanding a certain world, a whole world without hiding at all, and then For me, it is indeed a deep feeling.To use an analogy: it seems to make me see a position where my two feet stand, and this position is so clear and definite.I believed something without hesitation. At the moment when I sighed deeply, the sponge in my chest was full and full, but I have to say this: I was very, very moved, and it can be said that I was moved like never before.Wang Xunru let me enter a very simple world; where good and evil are clearly distinguished, and right and wrong are clearly distinguished, just like some fairy tales I read when I was a child-the prince slays the witch and saves the princess, the knight slays the dragon, protects the king and his family. Queen... In "Tiandihui: Medical Skills, Medicine and Medical Way", Tiandihui is a witch or a dragon, and Wang Jiayi and Wang Jiayi's secret book "Lu's Bronze Figure Book" are kings, queens or princesses. As for princes, The knight is probably the "author".He didn't make it clear: what was the result of the struggle against witches and dragons?However, I'm afraid it's because there was no result that I felt such a heavy lump in my chest?In other words: Wang Xunru used an unfinished journey of "the author" to show me some kind of sad pursuit?So to speak.When I think back to the moment when I went back to Youth Park and finished a book for the first time in years, I often find it ironic: I have been avoiding reading any book, so as not to draw conclusions about it, With an opinion-like a mouse caught in a mousetrap with its tail! —However, the book that I ended up finishing without knowing it was one.An untold story.It has an open ending: readers will definitely ask: what happened to the "author"?Has he found a suitable heir?Did he escape the persecution of the Heaven and Earth Society?Will he expose conspiratorials who exploit people's forgetful traits to separate seemingly unrelated disasters in order to destroy a world?With these questions in mind, I rolled up the book, put it in my pocket, walked out of the gazebo, stepped into the rain that was gradually falling, and began to miss Wang Xunru, a strange life I had never known before.
