Chapter 12 Chapter Twelve
As soon as Hu Qingniu grabbed Zhang Wuji's wrist, he felt that his pulse was beating very strangely. He couldn't help being startled, and then focused his attention on the pulse, thinking: "The cold poison this doll has is very strange, could it be the Xuanming God's Palm? This palm has been used for a long time. It has been lost, so there may not be anyone in the world who can make it." He thought: "If it is not the Xuanming Divine Palm, what is it? It is so cold and vicious, and there is no second palm power. He has been poisoned by this cold poison for a long time. It's a surprise that he didn't die. That's right, Zhang Sanfeng must have continued his life with his profound kung fu, and now the poison has spread into the internal organs, entangled and entangled, and only the gods can save him." Immediately, he was killed. Put it back in the chair.
After a while, Zhang Wuji woke up leisurely, and saw Hu Qingniu sitting in the opposite chair, watching the fire in the medicine stove, lost in thought, while Chang Yuchun was lying on the grass path outside the door.The three of them were thinking about their own thoughts, but no one said anything.
Hu Qingniu devoted all his life to medical skills, and cured any difficult and incurable diseases by hand, which is why he won the nickname of "Medical Immortal".But the cold poison from "Xuanming God's Palm" has never been encountered in his life, and it is even more unimaginable that he survived for several years and got entangled in internal organs after suffering from this severe poison.He had been determined not to treat Zhang Wuji's injuries, but when he encountered such a rare disease that never happened in his life, he was like an alcoholic who sees good wine, or a gourmet who smells the smell of meat, how could he give up?After thinking for a long time, I finally came up with a wonderful method: "I will cure him first, and then kill him."
But it is really not easy to drive out the vicious poison scattered in his internal organs.Hu Qingniu thought about it for more than two hours, took out twelve small copper pieces, and used his internal force to insert on the twelve acupuncture points under Zhang Wuji's dantian, including "Zhongji Point", "Tiantu Point" under his neck, and "Jianjing Point" on his shoulders. Down.The "Zhongji point" is the meeting of the three yin and Ren channels of the foot, the "Tiantu point" is the meeting of the yin and Ren channels, and the "Jianjing point" is the meeting of the hand and foot Shaoyang, the foot yangming and the yang. As soon as the twelve copper plates were inserted, the twelve regular and eight extraordinary meridians on his body were cut off.The human body and mind, lungs, spleen, liver, and kidneys are called the five internal organs, plus the pericardium, these six belong to yin: the stomach, large intestine, small intestine, gallbladder, bladder, and triple burner are called the six fu organs, and the six belong to yang.The internal organs plus the pericardium are the twelve regular pulses.Ren, Du, Chong, Dai, Yinwei, Yangwei, Yinqiao, and Yangqiao, these eight meridians do not belong to the orthodox yin and yang, there is no coordination between the outside and the inside, and they do not behave strangely, they are the eight meridians of the strange.
After Zhang Wuji's Changmai and Qijing are cut off, the insidious poison in the internal organs cannot work with each other.Hu Qingniu then moxibustion the "Yunmen" and "Zhongfu" acupoints on his shoulder with Chen moxibustion, and moxibustion on Tianfu, Xiabai, Chize, Kongzui, Lieque, Jingqu, Dayuan and Yu from his arm to thumb Ji and Shaoshang acupoints, these eleven acupoints belong to the "Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian", which can slightly reduce the poison hidden in his lungs.This time, using heat to attack the cold, the pain Zhang Wuji suffered was different from when the insidiousness broke out.After moxibustion on the Lung Meridian of Hand Taiyin, then moxibustion on the Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming and the Pericardium Meridian of Hand Jueyin...
When Hu Qingniu attacked, he ignored Zhang Wuji's pain, and used Chen Ai to burn him until he was scorched black everywhere.Zhang Wuji refused to show any weakness, he said in his heart: "You want me to moan in pain, but I don't want to hum." He talked and laughed freely, talking about acupuncture points and meridians with Hu Qingniu.Although he doesn't understand medical theory, but his adoptive father Xie Xun once taught him the techniques of acupoint acupuncture, solution of acupoints, and transfer of acupoints, and he knows the various acupoints in detail.Compared with this worldly genius doctor, Zhang Wuji's knowledge of acupoints is extremely superficial, but what he said is related to medical principles, and it caters to Hu Qingniu's liking.Hu Qingniu moxibusted moxibustion to remove the poison in his body, and at the same time he talked eloquently.
Zhang Wuji listened to it in his heart, Nineteen didn't understand anything, but in order to appear "I also understand the Wudang faction", he often made some fallacies and argued with him for a while. "It was a lot of talking.But in the remote mountains and valleys, apart from a few children who cook and decoct medicine, Hu Qingniu has no one to accompany him. Today this child came, talking about acupoints with him, it was quite pleasant.
After finishing the moxibustion at hundreds of acupuncture points on the twelfth regular pulse, it will be evening.Tong'er took out the food, put it on the table, and brought a large plate of rice and vegetables to Chang Yuchun on the grass outside the door.
Chang Yuchun slept outside the door that night, Zhang Wuji begged Hu Qingniu without a word, and before going to sleep, he went to lie down beside Chang Yuchun, and slept with him on the grass all night, as a gesture of sharing the difficulties meaning.Hu Qingniu just turned a blind eye and ignored it, but secretly marveled in his heart: "This kid is really different from Chang'er."
In the early morning of the next day, Hu Qingniu used half a day's power to burn and moxibustion the acupoints of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians for Zhang Wuji.The twelve regular channels are like rivers, flowing continuously, and the eight extraordinary meridians are like lakes and seas, which are stored and accumulated. Therefore, it is much more difficult to remove the insidious poison between the eight extraordinary meridians.Hu Qingniu devoted himself to drawing up a prescription, but it corrected the evil, strengthened the body, nourished the deficiency and purged the excess, but he used the anti-cure method of "treating the cold with cold".After Zhang Wuji took it, he shivered for half a day, and his spirit became much stronger.
In the afternoon, Hu Qingniu performed acupuncture for Zhang Wuji.Zhang Wuji provoked him with words, trying to force him to lose his composure, so he treated Chang Yuchun, but Hu Qingniu ignored him, and said coldly: "My Hu Qingniu's nickname of 'Butterfly Valley Doctor Immortal', come to think of it. It's a bit of a misnomer, the word 'immortal', how dare you call it falsely? I like it when people call me 'don't save me'."
At that time, he was needling the "Wushu point" between Zhang Wuji's waist and legs, this point is the junction of Foot Shaoyang and Dai Meridian, one inch and five minutes away from Tongshui Road.Zhang Wuji said: "The pulse on a human body is the strangest thing. Mr. Hu, do you know that some people don't have a pulse?" Hu Qingniu was stunned, and said, "Nonsense! How can they not have a pulse?" Zhang Wuji Yuan was talking nonsense, and said: "People in the world are full of wonders, and I don't think this pulse is of much use."
Hu Qingniu said: "Training the pulse is more wonderful, that's good, but how can it be said that it is useless? The quack doctors in the world don't understand the essence of it, and acupuncture and medicine are often misused. I have a book "Treating the Pulse", and you can see it at a glance. .” As he spoke, he walked into the inner room, took out a thin yellow paper manuscript, and handed it to him.
Zhang Wuji turned to the first page, and saw that it read: "The twelve meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians all flow up and down. Only the belt pulse originates between the lower abdomen and under the flanks of the seasons. It circles around the body and passes around the waist. , like a belt. The Chong, Ren, and Du channels originate from the same channel but run differently. They all originate from one source but diverge from the other. They are all collateral channels..." Following the comments on the errors in ancient medical books, "Fourteen Classics" A book says that there are only four acupoints for meridians, and "The Great Acupuncture and Moxibustion" says that there are six acupoints for meridians. In fact, there are ten acupoints in total, of which two acupoints appear and disappear, and are the most difficult to distinguish.Zhang Wuji read it all the way, although he didn't understand the meaning of it, he also knew that the book was very insightful, so he asked for advice on the mistakes he accused the predecessors.
Hu Qingniu liked it very much. He used needles and explained all the way. After waiting for the golden needles to pierce the ten acupoints on his veins, he let him rest for a while and said: "I have another "Meridian Acupuncture Classic" especially for me. The place where you put your heart and blood." From the room, he took a twelve-volume medical scripture in handwriting and came out.
Hu Qingniu knew that the child didn't understand medical principles, but he lived in seclusion for many years, and was lonely after all.Although there is an endless stream of people who come to seek medical treatment, everyone only praises his medical skills as gods. He has been tired of hearing these flattery words twenty years ago.In fact, what he is really proud of in his life is not the essence of "medical skills", but his great inventions and ideas in "medicine", which are beyond the reach of sages.He knows that these achievements are not trivial, but he can only admire himself alone, which is lonely.At this time, seeing that the young man was willing to read his works, and had a faint sense of confidant, he took out his favorite works to show.
Zhang Wuji opened it, and saw that every page was densely written in small script, the location of the acupoints, the weight of the medicinal materials, the depth of the time of injection, and everything was written in detail.He had a thought: "Let me look it up and see if there is any way to heal Brother Chang's injuries?" So he turned to the "Treatment of Palm Injuries" in the ninth volume "Martial Arts Chapter", and saw red sand palms, iron palms, etc. Sand Palm, Poison Sand Palm, Cotton Palm, Kaishan Palm, Pobei Palm...the symptoms, first aid, and treatment methods of all kinds of palm forces hurting people are all prepared. After seeing more than 180 kinds of palm forces , "Ju Xin Zhang" suddenly appeared.
Zhang Wuji was overjoyed, and read it carefully now. The text discusses the palm strength of "Jianxin Palm" in great detail, but the treatment method is extremely brief. , 'Tianchi' four acupoints, to control the changes of yin and yang and five elements, depending on the five seasons of cold, heat, dryness, dampness, and wind, to respond to the five emotions of happiness, anger, worry, thought, and fear of the injured."
It should be known that Chinese medicine has many changes and there is no fixed rule. For the same disease, the doctor often depends on cold and heat, day and night, peeling and recovery, fullness and deficiency, beginning and end, movement and stillness, male and female, size, internal and external... The method of medical treatment changes often. With one heart and one mind, there are few rules, so good doctors and quack doctors are like clouds and mud.Zhang Wuji didn't understand the mystery of this at all, so he read this treatment several times and firmly remembered it.The last item in the "Palm Injury Treatment Method" is "Xuanming Divine Palm", after describing the symptoms of the injured, under the word "treatment method", a word: "none".
Zhang Wuji closed the medical scriptures, put them on the table respectfully, and said: "Mr. Hu's "Ziwu Acupuncture Classic" is extensive and profound, and the younger generation is nineteen and doesn't understand it. Please tell me, what is the 'Change of the Five Elements of Yuyin and Yang'? "
Hu Qingniu explained a few words, suddenly realized, and said: "Do you want to ask how to heal Chang Yuchun? Hehe, I can talk about other things, but I won't talk about this section."
Zhang Wuji had no choice but to look up medical books by himself, Hu Qingniu let him see for himself, but he didn't stop him.Zhang Wuji studied day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep. Not only did he read more than ten kinds of works by Hu Qingniu, but also the other "Huangdi Neijing", "Hua Tuo Neizhao Tu", "Wang Shuhe Pulse Classic", "Sun Simiao's Thousand Golden Prescriptions", "Thousand Golden Wings", "Wang Tao Waitai Secret Essentials" and other medical classics are read page by page, as long as it is related to the sentences mentioned in the method of healing the injury of the heart and palm, read and meditate carefully.At 2 o'clock every day, Hu Qingniu gave him acupuncture and moxibustion to get rid of evil.
After a few days like this, Zhang Wuji read a whole lot without thinking. Although he memorized a lot of medical theory and prescriptions, but the medicine is so exquisite, he is young and inexperienced, how can he understand it within a few days?It is the sixth day to arrive at Butterfly Valley.Hu Qingniu once said that Chang Yuchun's injury can be cured if he heals it within seven days, otherwise even if it is cured, it will be a loss of martial arts.Chang Yuchun had been lying on the grass outside the door for six days and six nights, but on this day, it started to rain again.Hu Qingniu still ignored him when he saw that he was in the quagmire.Zhang Wuji was furious and thought to himself: "Among the medical books I read, except for your own, every book says that a doctor must have a benevolent heart to help the world and benefit the people. You have nothing but medical skills." , but if he waits to see death and refuses to save him, what kind of good doctor is that?"
In the evening, the rain became heavier, and there were lightning flashes, one thunderbolt after another.Zhang Wuji gritted his teeth, and said in his heart: "Even if elder brother Chang is cured, it's unthinkable." He took eight golden needles from Hu Qingniu's medicine cabinet, walked to Chang Yuchun's side, and said: " Brother Chang, my younger brother has worked hard these few days to study Mr. Hu's medical books. Although I can't understand it well, the time is tight and we can't delay any longer. I can only take the risk of giving Brother Chang an injection. If something goes wrong, I will not Living alone is."
Chang Yuchun laughed loudly and said, "What did you say, little brother? Hurry up and give me an injection. If you are lucky enough to be saved, you will just embarrass me, Uncle Hu. If two or three injections prick me to death, it will be better." Suffering in this mud pit."
With trembling hands, Zhang Wuji carefully touched Chang Yuchun's acupoint, and cautiously stabbed a gold needle from his "Guanyuan acupoint".He has never practiced acupuncture and moxibustion, so the method of using acupuncture is extremely clumsy, but it is just following the method that Hu Qingniu gave him every day, just following the same gourd.Hu Qingniu's golden needle is made of soft gold, it cannot be used unless it has profound inner strength.Zhang Wuji exerted a little more force, the needle bent immediately and could no longer go in.I had to press it out and stab it again.There is absolutely no reason to bleed from acupuncture points, but he messed around like this, blood gushed out from Chang Yuchun's "Guanyuan point". "Guan Yuan Point" is located in the lower abdomen, it is a vital point of the body, this bleeding did not stop, Zhang Wuji became very anxious and even more at a loss what to do.
Suddenly he heard a burst of laughter behind him, Zhang Wuji turned his head and saw Hu Qingniu with his hands behind his back, looking at him with a smile, his hands were covered with blood.Zhang Wuji said anxiously: "Mr. Hu, Big Brother Chang's 'Guanyuan Point' is bleeding, so what should I do?" Hu Qingniu said: "Of course I know what to do, but why tell you?" Zhang Wuji said proudly: "Now we also Life for life, please save Big Brother Chang quickly, I will die in front of you immediately."
Hu Qingniu said coldly: "I said I'm dead, but in short it's dead. Hu Qingniu just refuses to save you, and it's not impermanence that reminds you of death. What good will it do me if you die? Even if ten Zhang Wuji die, I won't do it." Save Chang Yuchun."
Zhang Wuji knew that it would be a waste of time to talk to him any more, he thought that this gold needle is too soft, I won't be able to use it, at this time there is nowhere to look for other gold needles, even copper needles and iron needles can't be found, a little After pondering, he broke a bamboo branch, cut it into a few smooth bamboo sticks with a knife, and stuck them in Chang Yuchun's four acupoints of "Zigong", "Central", "Guanyuan" and "Tianchi".The bamboo sticks are hard but resilient, and they don't bleed after piercing the acupoints.After a long while, Chang Yuchun vomited several mouthfuls of black blood.
Zhang Wuji didn't know whether his random stabs made him worse, or whether the bamboo needles worked and forced out the blood in his body. When he looked back at Hu Qingniu, he saw that although he had a sneering expression on his face, there was also some hint of a hint of sarcasm on his face. Thumbs up.Zhang Wuji knew that these bamboo acupuncture points were not all wrong, so he went in and rummaged through medical books, thought hard, and drew up a prescription.Although he learned from medical books that a certain medicine can cure a certain disease, he didn't know what Shengdi and Bupleurum looked like, what Achyranthes bidentata and bear bile were, so he bit his bullet and took the medicine. The prescription was given to Tong'er who was decocting the medicine, and he said, "Please make it according to the prescription."
The Tong'er took the prescription to Hu Qingniu and asked him if he would cook it as it is.Hu Qingniu snorted, and said: "Ridiculous, ridiculous!" Sneered three times, and said: "You can fry it as you like. If he takes it and he doesn't die, there will be no dead people in the world." Zhang Wuji snatched the prescription and put a few The amount of flavoring medicine has been reduced by half.The boy decocted the medicine according to the recipe, and it became a thick bowl.
Zhang Wuji brought the medicine to Chang Yuchun's mouth, and said tearfully, "Brother Chang, if you take this medicine, it will be good or bad, but I really don't know..." Chang Yuchun laughed and said, "Wonderful, wonderful, this is called The blind heals the blind horse." He closed his eyes, raised his neck and drank a large bowl of medicine until nothing remained.
That night, Chang Yuchun's stomach hurt like a knife, and he couldn't stop vomiting blood.Zhang Wuji waited on him in the heavy rain of thunder and lightning, tossing all night.In the early morning of the next day, the heavy rain stopped, and Chang Yuchun vomited blood less and less, and the blood color also changed from black to purple, from purple to red.
Chang Yuchun said happily: "Little brother, your medicine can't kill anyone. It seems that my injury has been relieved a lot." Zhang Wuji was overjoyed and said, "Is my little brother's medicine still good?" Chang Yuchun smiled and said: " My late father had anticipated what would happen today, so he named me 'Chang Yuchun', which means that I would often meet you, a great player with a wonderful hand and rejuvenation. It's just that the medicine you used seemed a bit overbearing. , drink it in the stomach, it is like dozens of small knives cutting randomly."
Zhang Wuji said: "Yes, yes. It seems that the weight is indeed a little heavy."
In fact, the amount of medicine he administered was not only "slightly heavier", but several times heavier, and without the help of other neutralizing and conditioning medicines, he blindly rushed and attacked.Although he found the right medicine from Hu Qingniu's medical book, but he didn't understand the way of "monarch, minister and assistant envoy" in medicine, if very Yuchun had a strong physique, he could not bear it long ago and died.
After Hu Qingniu finished washing, he walked out slowly. Seeing Chang Yuchun's ruddy complexion and vigorous energy, he couldn't help being surprised, and secretly said: "One is smart and bold, and the other is physically strong. This palm injury on the palm will be healed. All right."
At that moment Zhang Wuji prescribed another prescription for conditioning and nourishing, ginseng, velvet antler, Radix Polygoni Multiflori, Poria cocos, all kinds of tonic medicines were prescribed on it, all the herbs hidden in Hu Qingniu's home were precious, and the medicinal power was particularly powerful.After ten days of adjustment like this, Chang Yuchun was in good spirits, his martial arts had returned to the old style, and he said to Zhang Wuji: "Little brother, my injuries have already healed, so it's not reasonable for you to sleep with me every day. Let's just leave now." .”
For more than a month, Zhang Wuji and him have shared weal and woe, sacrificed their lives to befriend each other, and have become life and death friends.
Chang Yuchun said: "Little brother, you don't need to be sad. I will visit you again in three months. If the cold poison on your body is gone by then, I will send you to Wudang Mountain to meet your grand master."
He walked into the hut, bid farewell to Hu Qingniu, and said: "The disciple's injuries are recovering well. Although Brother Zhang healed him, he followed the guidance of his uncle's medical books and took a lot of precious medicines from his uncle." Hu Qingniu nodded, Said: "That's nothing. Your injury has healed, and what you have lost is only forty years of life." Chang Yuchun didn't understand, and asked, "What?" Hu Qingniu said: "As far as your body is concerned , at least eighty years old. But the boy made a mistake in taking the medicine, and the strength of his hand was wrong when he gave the needle. From now on, every time there is rain, thunder and lightning, you will have pain all over your body, and you will go to see the king of Hades when you are about forty years old. "
Chang Yuchun laughed, and said with great emotion: "If a man can help the world and serve the country, if he can build a career, then thirty years old is enough, why bother forty? If you live a busy life, even if you are over a hundred years old, it will be a waste of food." Hu Qingniu nodded and stopped talking. (Note: "History of Ming Dynasty Chang Yuchun Biography": "(Chang Yuchun) died of a sudden illness at the age of forty.")
Zhang Wuji went straight to the mouth of Butterfly Valley, Chang Yuchun repeatedly urged him to go back, and the two parted with tears.Zhang Wuji secretly made up his mind: "I treated Brother Chang wrongly in a foolish way, causing him to lose forty years of life. His body was damaged in my hands. Could it be that he can't benefit from my hands in the future? I always want to The forensic doctor found that he was no different from before."
From then on, Hu Qingniu administered acupuncture and medicine to Zhang Wuji every day to dissipate the cold poison in his body.Zhang Wuji, on the other hand, tirelessly read medical books and memorized pharmacopoeias. Whenever he had any doubts, he would ask Hu Qingniu for advice.This is what Hu Qingniu likes, so I will give you some pointers.Sometimes Zhang Wuji asked some strange questions and thoughts, which could quite trigger some ways that Hu Qingniu had never thought of before.At the beginning, he planned to kill Zhang Wuji after healed him, but now he felt that once the young man died, Yan Zhong would lose the only good companion he could talk to, so he didn't want him to die sooner. After several months like this, one day Hu Qingniu suddenly discovered that Zhang Wuji's "Guanchong acupoint" on the outer side of his ring finger, "Qinglenyuan" two inches above his bent arm, and "Sizhukong" in the depression behind his eyebrows were all acupuncture points. No news at all.These acupoints belong to the "Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian of Hand".The triple burner is divided into upper burner, middle burner and lower burner. It is one of the six internal organs of the five internal organs. It is mysterious and elusive in medical books. (Note: The triple burner in Chinese medicine, according to doctors, refers to the various endocrines of the human body. Today, with the advancement of science, Western medicine still does not know much about the use and adjustment of endocrine, and it has always been an extremely difficult task in medicine. department.) Hu Qingniu thought hard and devised many ingenious methods, but he was still unable to force out the insidiousness of the triple burner in Zhang Wuji's body.During more than ten days, more than ten strands of his hair became gray due to exhaustion. Zhang Wuji saw that he was so troubled and worried, he was deeply grateful, but at the same time uneasy, he said: "Mr. Hu, you have tried your best to detoxify me. Everyone in the world is going to die. I, who has been scattered into the triple burner If you can’t get rid of the insidiousness, it’s because of fate, so you don’t have to worry too much, just to save my life and hurt your body.” Hu Qingniu snorted, and said lightly: "You look down on our Mingjiao and Tianyingjiao, when am I going to save your life? It's just that I can't cure you, so it seems that I am incompetent as a 'Diegu Doctor Immortal'. After I cure you, I'll kill you again." Zhang Wuji shuddered, listening to what he said lightly, it seemed that he didn't take it seriously, but knowing that he had said it, he was determined not to change it, sighed, and said: "I think the poison in my body can't get rid of in the end. You don’t have to do anything, I will die myself. People in the world seem to only hope that he will be happy when everyone else is dead. Isn’t everyone learning martial arts to kill others?” Hu Qingniu looked at the sky outside the court, lost his mind for a while, and said quietly: "When I was young, I devoted myself to studying medicine and determined to help the world and save people, but something went wrong after I saved the people. It hurt me. There was a young man who was poisoned by the golden silkworm poison in Miaojiang, Guizhou. Staying up late, exhausted all my efforts to treat him, and he married Jinlan as brothers and sisters, and betrothed my own sister to him as his wife. Who would have thought that he killed my own sister later. Do you know who this person is? ? He is the famous leader of the famous decent sect today." Zhang Wuji saw that the muscles on his face were distorted and his expression was extremely painful, he felt pity spontaneously in his heart, and thought to himself: "It turns out that he has experienced many tragic things in his life, and that's why he developed the temperament of 'seeing death without saving'." Said: "Who is this ungrateful, wolf-hearted person?" Hu Qingniu gritted his teeth and said: "He...he is the leader of the Huashan School, Xian Yutong." Zhang Wuji said: "Why don't you go to him to settle the score?" Hu Qingniu sighed: "I have tried to find him three times, but I have suffered disastrous defeats. The last time I almost killed him. This man is very skilled in martial arts, and he is also extremely witty. His nickname is 'Shenjizi'. He is far from his opponent. What's more, as the head of the Huashan Sect, he has a large number of people. Over the years, my Ming Sect has been torn apart, and the masters in the sect are killing each other. Please help. I am afraid that this grievance will not be repaid. Alas, my poor sister, my parents have been at odds since I was a child, and my brother and sister depend on each other for life..." Speaking of this, tears welled up in my eyes. Zhang Wuji thought to himself: "In fact, he is not a ruthless person." Hu Qingniu suddenly yelled: "What I said today, you must not mention it to me again, if it is leaked to others, I will make it impossible for you to live or die. Zhang Wuji wanted to contradict him a few words, but suddenly his heart softened, he felt that this person suffered no less than himself, so he said: "I don't say anything." Hu Qingniu stroked his hair and sighed: "Poor, pitiful! "Turn around and enter the inner hall. Hu Qingniu and Zhang Wuji had an in-depth conversation today, and realized that the cold poison in his triple energizer is hard to get rid of, even if he treated him with advanced medical skills, it would only prolong his life for a few years, so he changed his mood towards him.Although I never confide my life experience and thoughts to him since then, but seeing that he is considerate and lonely in the mountains, he is a good companion, so I give him advice on the changes of yin and yang and five elements in medical theory, acupuncture and moxibustion in square pulse every day.Zhang Wuji devoted himself to studying, and learned very hard.Hu Qingniu saw that he had a very high level of comprehension, and he was particularly knowledgeable about medicine such as "The Yellow Emperor's Shrimp and Toad Sutra", "Xizi Mingtang Sunburning Sutra", "Taiping Shenghui Prescription", "Moxibustion Jiayi Jing", Sun Simiao's "Qianjin Prescription", etc., he couldn't help sighing. : "With your ingenuity, you have to meet me, a once-in-a-lifetime Master, who is less than twenty years old, and should be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Hua Tuo and Bian Que, but... oh, what a pity, what a pity." The implication is that when you learn your medical skills well, your life expectancy will be over, so what's the use of studying so hard?Zhang Wuji had another idea in his mind, he was determined to learn superb medical skills, and when he saw Chang Yuchun, he would heal his damaged body back to its original state, and hoped that Yu Daiyan would be able to walk on his own without relying on other people's support .These are his two great wishes. If he can fulfill his wish, he will have no regrets after his life is exhausted.
The valley was peaceful and peaceful, and time passed quickly, after more than two years like this, Zhang Wuji was already fourteen years old.During these two years, Chang Yuchun visited him several times, said that Zhang Sanfeng was very happy to know that his condition was improving, and ordered him to stay in Butterfly Valley for a few more days in order to recover.Zhang Sanfeng and the six disciples each had clothes and supplies as presents, and they all said that they missed him very much, because of their different sects, it is inconvenient to come to visit.Zhang Wuji also misses Grand Master and six martial uncles very deeply, and wished he could go back to Wudang Mountain to see each other right away.Chang Yuchun also talked about the news from outside the valley. The Mongols have been oppressing the Han people more and more these years. The battle between the two is also becoming more and more intense, both sides have suffered heavy casualties, and the enmity is getting deeper and deeper. Every time Chang Yuchun came to Butterfly Valley, he would stay for a few days before leaving, it seemed that the affairs in the school were quite busy. One night, Zhang Wuji read for a while the medical book "This Matter Is Difficult to Know" written by Wang Haogu, and felt drowsy and sleepy, so he immediately went to bed and slept soundly.When he got up the next day, he felt a severe headache and wanted to find some medicine to dispel the wind and cold. When he went to the living room, he saw the shadow of the sun slanting to the west. It turned out to be noon. It's been a long time, it looks like I'm sick." I took my own pulse, but there was no abnormality, and I was even more surprised: "Could it be that I have a vicious attack and my life is over?" Walking outside Hu Qingniu's room, he saw the door was closed tightly and coughed lightly.I just heard Hu Qingniu say: "Wuji, I feel unwell today and have a sore throat. You can study by yourself." Zhang Wuji replied: "Yes." He was concerned about Hu Qingniu's condition and said, "Sir, let me see your throat. Okay?" Hu Qingniu said in a low voice: "No need. I have looked in the mirror and there is no serious problem. I have taken Niuhuangxijiao powder." That night, Tong'er brought food into the room, and Zhang Wuji followed him in, only to see Hu Qingniu lying on the bed with a haggard face.Hu Qingniu waved his hand and said, "Get out quickly. Do you know what disease I have? It's smallpox." Zhang Wuji looked at the red spots on his face and hands. Fatal, ranging from pimples all over the face, Hu Qingniu is a superb doctor, although contracted a serious disease, there is no future trouble, but he can't help worrying after all. Hu Qingniu said: "You can't come into my room again. All the bowls, chopsticks, cups and saucers I have used must be boiled in boiling water. You and Tonger can't mix them." After pondering for a moment, he said: "Wuji, you still come out of Butterfly Valley Go, stay outside for half a month, lest I pass smallpox to you." Zhang Wuji hurriedly said: "No, sir is sick, if I avoid it, who will take care of you? At least I know better than these two children Some medical principles." Hu Qingniu said: "You'd better avoid it." But after talking for a long time, Zhang Wuji always refused.In the past few years, the two have been together day and night, although Hu Qingniu has a weird temperament, the teacher and the student naturally have a good friendship, not to mention avoiding each other in the face of difficulties, it is really against Zhang Wuji's nature.Hu Qingniu said: "Okay, then you must not come into my room." After three days like this, Zhang Wuji greeted him outside the room in the morning and evening, and heard that although Hu Qingniu's voice was hoarse, he was still in good spirits, and his appetite was more than usual, so it was not a problem.Hu Qingniu reported the name and dosage of the medicine every day, and Tong'er cooked the medicine and handed it to him. On the afternoon of the fourth day, Zhang Wuji sat in the thatched cottage and recited the chapter "The Great Theory on the Adjustment of the Four Qis" in the "Huangdi Neijing", and read: This is what it means. After a serious illness has been completed, heal it, and when a disorder has occurred, heal it. Isn’t it too late to pierce a well when thirsty, or cast an awl after a fight?” He couldn’t help nodding secretly, thinking: “These words make sense. It’s really good. It’s really too late to dig wells when you’re thirsty, and to forge weapons when you want to fight with others. It’s too late to pacify the country after it’s in chaos. Start when the disease has not yet broken out. But Mr. Hu’s smallpox is caused by exogenous factors, so we can’t treat the disease first.” I also thought of the words in the “Yin and Yang Ying Xiang Da Lun” in the Canon of Internal Medicine: “He who is good at governance treats the fur, then the skin, and then the skin. To treat tendons and veins, first to treat the six internal organs, and then to treat the five internal organs. Those who treat the five internal organs are half dead and half alive." Heart said: "A good doctor sees that a person's disease is in its infancy, and he should treat it immediately. After the disease enters the five internal organs and then treat it, he is only half sure .The insidious poison like me scattered into the internal organs, not only half life and half death, it is almost a narrow escape." Just when he was admiring the great wisdom of the former sages and hurting himself again, he suddenly heard the sound of hooves coming in from outside the valley, and he was outside the hut after a while, only to hear a person say loudly: "Fellow Wulin, please see Mr. Hu, the Immortal Doctor, Ask him to heal the old man." Zhang Wuji walked to the door, only to see a dark-faced man standing outside the door, holding three horses in his hands, one person was lying on each of the two horses, the blood on his clothes was blurred, it was obvious that he was seriously injured.A white cloth was tied on the man's head, and the cloth was also stained with blood. His right hand was hung around his neck with a bandage. It seemed that the injury was not serious. Zhang Wuji said: "It's a coincidence that everyone came here. Mr. Hu himself is sick and bedridden, so he can't serve you, so please ask another expert!" The man said: "We have traveled hundreds of miles, and our lives are at stake. Doctor Immortal, help." Zhang Wuji said: "Mr. Hu is suffering from smallpox, and his condition is very serious. This is the truth, and we dare not deceive each other." The man said: "The three of us have been seriously injured this time. If we don't get rescued by Diegu's immortal doctor, we will surely die. I'm sorry. Let me report to you little brother, and I will listen to Mr. Hu's orders." Zhang Wuji said: "In that case, may I ask your surname and name." The man said: "My three people's humble names are not worth mentioning, so please say that they are the head of Huashan School Xianyu Disciple." At this point, his body was on the verge of falling, and he couldn't hold it anymore, he opened his mouth suddenly, and spewed out a big mouthful of blood. Zhang Wuji froze, thinking that Xian Yutong, the Huashan sword sect, was Mr. Hu's great enemy, and he didn't know how he would deal with it. He walked outside Hu Qingniu's room and said, "Sir, there are three people outside the door who were seriously injured. They came to seek medical treatment. Pai Xianyu's disciple who is the head of the sect." Hu Qingniu let out a soft "Hey" and said angrily: "It's not going to be cured, get out of the house quickly!" Zhang Wuji said: "Yes." When he returned to the thatched cottage, he said to the man, "Mr. Hu is seriously ill, it is difficult to see guests, please forgive me." The thin man raised his head suddenly, stretched out his hand and popped it out, only to see a golden light flashing, and with a clap, a small hidden weapon hit the table in the middle of the thatched cottage.The thin man said: "Take this golden flower and show it to the 'do not save', and say that the three of us were all injured by the owner of the golden flower. The man is now looking for his bad luck,' see If we don't save our lives, the three of us will stay here and help him defend against the enemy. Even if the three of us are not good at martial arts, there are always three more helpers." Hearing his words, Zhang Wuji was snarky, far less polite than the first man, and when he approached the table, he saw that the hidden weapon was a plum blossom made of gold, about the size of a real plum blossom, with a stamen made of platinum silk, very well crafted delicate.He stretched out his hand to grab it, but unexpectedly the skinny man's flick was so strong that the golden flower was embedded in the table, but he couldn't get it out, so he had to take a pair of tweezers, picked it up a few times, and then he took it out, thinking: "This skinny man's martial arts Not weak, but under the hands of Jinhua's master, he was injured so badly, he said that the man is coming to seek revenge, so he has to tell the master." So with Jinhua in his hand, he walked outside Hu Qingniu's room and told the story The words of that skinny man. Hu Qingniu said: "Bring it in and let me see." Zhang Wuji gently pushed open the door and opened the curtain, but he saw that the room was as dark as night, he knew that smallpox patients were afraid of wind and light, and the windows were covered with felt.Hu Qingniu's face was covered with a green cloth, only a pair of eyes were exposed.Zhang Wuji was startled inwardly: "I don't know how the pimples on his face are under the green cloth? Will it turn into mottled skin after he recovers?" Hu Qingniu said, "Put the golden flower on the table and leave the room quickly. " Zhang Wuji put down the golden flower as he said, opened the curtain and left the room, before closing the door, he heard Hu Qingniu say: "The life and death of the three of them has nothing to do with my surname Hu. Whether Hu Qingniu lives or dies, he will not bother him." Worry about you three." With a bang, the golden flower pierced through the door curtain and flew out, and fell to the ground with a bang, Zhang Wuji has been with him for more than two years, and he has never seen him practice martial arts. However, the genius doctor is also a master of martial arts. Although he is ill, he has not lost his martial arts. Zhang Wuji picked up the golden flower, went out and gave it back to the thin man, shook his head, and said, "Mr. Hu is really seriously ill..." Suddenly he heard the clattering of hooves and the rumble of cars, a carriage was driving towards the valley Come. Zhang Wuji walked outside the door, only to see the carriage driving very fast, it came to the door in a blink of an eye, and stopped suddenly.A light-skinned young man stepped down from the car seat, took out a bald old man from the car, and asked, "Is Mr. Hu, the doctor of Butterfly Valley, at home? Jialan Jianjie, a master of the Kongtong sect, has traveled far away to seek medical treatment..." The third sentence did not After saying that, he shook his body a few times, and fell to the ground together with the bald old man in his hand.说也凑巧，拉车的两匹健马也乏得脱了力，口吐白沫，同时跪倒。 瞧了二人这般神情，不问可知是远道急驰而来，途中毫没休息，以致累得如此狼狈。张无忌听到“崆峒门下”四字，心想在武当山上逼死父母的诸人之中，有崆峒派的长老在内，这秃头老者当日虽然没曾来到武当，但料想也非好人，正想回绝，忽见山道上影影绰绰，又有四五人走来，有的一跛一拐，有的互相携扶，都是身上有伤。 张无忌皱起眉头，不等这干人走近，朗声说道：“胡先生染上天花，自身难保，不能为各位治伤。请大家及早另寻名医，以免耽误了伤势。” 待得那干人等走近，看清楚共有五人，个个脸如白纸，竟无半点血色，身上却没有伤痕血迹，看来都是受了内伤。为首一人又高又胖，向秃头老者简捷和投掷金花的瘦小汉子点了点头，三人相对苦笑，原来三批人都是相识的。张无忌好奇心起，问道：“你们都是被那金花的主人所伤么？”那胖子道：“不错。”那最先到达、口喷鲜血的汉子问道：“小兄弟贵姓？跟胡先生怎生称呼？”张无忌道：“我是胡先生的病人，知道胡先生说过不治，那是决计不治的，你们便赖在这里也没用。” 说话间，先后又有四个人到来，有的乘车，有的骑马，一齐求恳要见胡青牛。 张无忌大感奇怪：“蝴蝶谷地处偏僻，除了魔教中人，江湖上知者甚少，这些人或属崆峒，或隶华山，均非魔教，怎地不约而同的受伤，又不约而同的赶来求医？”又想：“那金花的主人既如此了得，要取这些人的性命看来也非难事，却何以只将各人打得重伤？” 那十四人有的善言求恳，有的一声不响，但都是磨着不走，眼见天色将晚，十四个人挤满了一间草堂。煮饭的僮儿将张无忌所吃的饭菜端了出来。张无忌也不跟他们客气，自顾自的吃了，翻开医书，点了油灯阅读，对这十四人竟是视而不见，心想：“我既学了胡先生的医术，也得学一学他'见死不救'的功夫。”
夜阑人静，茅舍中除了张无忌翻读书页、伤者粗重的喘气之外，再无别的声息。突然之间，屋外山路上传来了两个人轻轻的脚步声音，足步缓慢，走向茅舍而来。 过了片刻，一个清脆的女孩声音说道：“妈，屋里有灯火，这就到了。”从声音听来，女孩年纪甚幼。一个女子声音道：“孩子，你累不累？”那女孩道：“我不累，妈，医生给你治病，你就不痛了。”那女子道：“嗯，就不知医生肯不肯给我治。” 张无忌心中一震：“这女子的声音好熟！似乎是纪晓芙姑姑。”只听那女孩道：“医生定会给你治的。妈，你别怕，你痛得好些了么？”那女子道：“好些了，唉，苦命的孩子。”张无忌听到这里，再无怀疑，纵身抢到门口，叫道：“纪姑姑，是你么？你也受了伤么？”月光之下，只见一个青衫女子携着一个小女孩，正是峨嵋女侠纪晓芙。 她在武当山上见到张无忌时，他未满十岁，这时相隔将近五年，张无忌已自孩童成为少年，黑夜中突然相逢，那里认得出来，一愕之下，道：“你……你……” 张无忌道：“纪姑姑，你不认得我了罢？我是张无忌。在武当山上，我爹爹妈妈去世那天，曾见过你一面。” 纪晓芙“啊”的一声惊呼，万料不到竟会在此处见到他，想起自己以未嫁之身，却携了一个女儿，张无忌是自己未婚夫殷梨亭的师侄，虽然年少，终究难以交代，不由得又羞又窘，胀得满脸通红。她受伤本是不轻，一惊之下，身子摇晃，便要摔倒。 她小女儿只八九岁年纪，见母亲快要摔跤，忙双手拉住她手臂，可是人小力微，济得甚事？眼见两人都要摔跌，张无忌抢上扶住纪晓芙肩头，道：“纪姑姑，请进去休息一会。”扶着她走进草堂。灯火下只见她左肩和左臂都受了极厉害的刀剑之伤，包扎的布片上还在不断渗出鲜血，又听她轻声咳嗽不停，无法自止。 张无忌此时的医术，早已胜过寻常的所谓“名医”，听得她咳声有异，知是肺叶受到重大震荡，便道：“纪姑姑，你右手和人对掌，伤了太阴肺脉。” 当下取出七枚金针，隔着衣服，便在她肩头“云门”、胸口“华盖”、肘中“尺泽”等七处穴道上刺下去。其时他的针灸之术，与当年医治常遇春时自已有天壤之别。这两年来，他跟着胡青牛潜心苦学，于诊断病情、用药变化诸道，限于见闻阅厉，和胡青牛自是相去尚远，但针灸一门，却已学到了这位“医仙”的七八成本领。 纪晓芙初时见他取出金针，还不知他的用意，哪知他手法极快，一转眼间，七枚金针便分别刺入自己的穴道，她这七处要穴全属于手太阴肺经，金针一到，胸口闭塞之苦立时大减。她又惊又喜，说道：“好孩子，想不到你在这里，又学会了这样好的本领。” 那日在武当山上，纪晓芙见张翠山、殷素素自杀身亡，怜悯张无忌孤苦，曾柔声安慰，又除下自己颈中黄金项圈，要想给他。但张无忌当时心中愤激悲痛，将所有上山来的人，都当作是迫死他父母的仇人，因之对纪晓芙出言顶撞，使她难以下台。后来张无忌年纪大后，得知当日父亲和诸师伯叔曾拟和峨嵋诸侠联手，共抗强敌，才知峨嵋派其实是友非敌，而于纪晓芙对他的一番心意，事后回想，心中更常自感激。 两年之前，他和常遇春深夜在树林中见到了纪晓芙力救彭和尚，更觉这位纪姑姑为人极好，至于她何以未嫁生子、是否对不起殷叔叔等情由，他年纪尚小，于这些男女之情全不了然，听过之后便如春风过耳，绝不萦怀。纪晓芙自己心虚，斗然间遇到和殷梨亭相识之人时便窘迫异常，深感无地自容，其实这件事张无忌在两年前便已从丁敏君口中听到，他认定丁敏君是个坏女人，那么她口中所说的事，也就便未必是坏。 他这时但见纪晓芙的女儿站在母亲身旁，眉目如画，黑漆般大眼珠骨碌碌地转动，好奇的望着自己。那女孩将口俯在母亲耳边，低声道：“妈，这个小孩便是医生吗？你痛得好些了么？”纪晓芙听她叫自己为“妈”，又是脸上一红，事已至此，也无法隐瞒，脸上神色甚是尴尬，道：“这位是张家哥哥，他爹爹是妈的朋友。”向张无忌低声道：“她……她叫'不悔'。”顿了顿，又道：“姓杨，叫杨不悔！”张无忌笑道：“好啊，小妹妹，你的名字倒跟我有些相像，我叫张无忌，你叫杨不悔。” 纪晓芙见张无忌神色如常，并无责难之意，心下稍宽，向女儿道：“无忌哥哥的本领很好，妈已不大痛啦。” 杨不悔灵活的大眼睛转了几转，突然走上前去，抱住张无忌，在他面颊上吻了一下。她除了母亲之外，从来不见外人，这次母亲身受重伤，急难之中，竟蒙张无忌替她减轻痛苦，心中自是大为感激。她对母亲表示欢喜和感谢，向来是扑在她怀里，在她脸上亲吻，这时对张无忌便也如此。 纪晓芙含笑斥道：“不儿，别这样，无忌哥哥不喜欢的。”杨不悔睁着大大的眼睛，不明其理，问张无忌道：“你不喜欢么？为甚么不要我对你好？”张无忌笑道：“我喜欢的，我也对你好。”在她柔嫩的面颊上轻轻吻了一下。杨不悔拍手道：“小医生，你快替妈妈的伤全都治好了，我就再亲你一下。” 张无忌见这个小妹妹天真活泼，甚是可爱。他十多年来，相识的都是年纪大过他很多的伯伯叔叔，常遇春虽和他兄弟相称，也大了他八岁。那日舟中和周芷若匆匆一面，相聚不到一天，便即分手，此外从未交过一个小朋友，这时不禁心道：“要是我有这样一个有趣的亲妹子，便可常常带着她玩耍了。”他还只十四岁，童心犹是极盛，只是幼历坎坷，实无多少玩耍嬉戏的机会。 纪晓芙见圣手蓝伽简捷等一干人伤势狼藉，显是未经医理，她不愿占这个便宜，说道：“这几位比我先来，你先瞧瞧他们罢。这会儿我已好多了。” 张无忌道：“他们是来向胡先生求医的。胡先生自己身染重病，不能医人，这几位却不肯走。纪姑姑，你并非向胡先生求医，小侄在这儿耽得久了，略通一点粗浅的医理，你若是信得过，小侄便瞧瞧你的伤势。” 纪晓芙受伤后得人指点，来到蝴蝶谷，原和简捷等人一般，也是要向胡青牛求医，这时听了张无忌这几句话，又见到简捷等一干人的情状，显是那“见死不救”胡青牛不肯施治，何况张无忌适才替她针治要穴，立时见效，看来他年纪虽小，医道却着实高明，便道：“这可多谢你啦。大国手不肯治，请小国手治疗也是一样。” 当下张无忌请她走到厢房之中，剪破她创口衣服，发觉她肩臂上共受了三处刀伤，臂骨亦已折断，上臂骨有一处裂成碎片。这等骨碎，在外科中本是极难接续，但在“蝶谷医仙”的弟子看来，却也寻常，于是替她接骨疗伤，敷上生肌活血的药物，再开了一张药方，命僮儿按方煎药。他初次替人接骨，手法未免不够敏捷，但忙了个把时辰，终于包扎妥善，说道：“纪姑姑，请你安睡一会，待会麻药药性退了，伤口会痛得很厉害。”纪晓芙道：“多谢你啦！”张无忌到储药室中找了些枣子杏脯，拿去给杨不悔吃，哪知她昨晚一夜不睡，这时已偎倚在母亲怀中沉沉睡熟。张无忌将枣杏放在她衣袋中，回到草堂。 华山派那口吐鲜血的弟子站了起来，向张无忌深深一揖，说道：“小先生，胡先生既是染病，只好烦劳小先生给我们治一治，大伙儿尽感大德。” 张无忌学会医术后，除了替常遇春、纪晓芙治疗之外，从未用过，眼见这十四人或内脏震伤，或四肢断折，伤处各有不同，常言道学以致用，确是颇有跃跃欲试之意，但想起胡青牛的言语，答道：“此处是胡先生家中，小可也是他的病人，如何敢擅自作主？” 那汉子鉴貌辨色，见他推辞得并不决绝，便再捧他一捧，奉上一顶高帽，说道：“自来名医都是五六十岁的老先生，哪知小先生年纪轻轻，竟具这等本领，真是世上少见，还盼显一显身手。” 那富商模样的姓梁胖子道：“我们十四人在江湖上均是小有名头，得蒙小先生救治，大家出去一宣扬，江湖上都知小先生医道如神的大名，旦夕之间，小先生便名闻天下了。” 张无忌毕竟年纪幼小，不明世情，给他两人这么一吹一捧，不免有些欢喜，说道：“名闻天下有甚么好？胡先生既不肯动手，我也无法，但你们受伤均自不轻，这样罢，我给你们稍减痛楚便是。”于是取出金创药来，要替各人止血减痛。 待得详察每人的伤势，不由得越看越是惊奇，原来每人的伤势固各各不同，而且伤法甚为奇特，均是胡青牛所授伤科症中从未提到过的。有一人被逼吞服了数十枚钢针，针上而且喂毒。有人肝脏被内力震伤，但医治肝伤的“行间”、“中封”、“阴包”、“五里”诸要穴却都被人用尖刀戳烂，显然下手之人也是精通医理，要叫人无从着手医治。有一人两块肺叶上被钉上两枚长长的铁钉，不断的咳嗽咯血。有一人左右两排肋骨全断，可又没伤到心肺。有一人双手被割，却被左手接在右臂上，右手接在左臂上，血肉相连，不伦不类。更有一人全身青肿，说是被蜈蚣、蝎子、黄蜂等二十余种毒虫同时蜇伤。 张无忌只看了六七个人，已是大皱眉头，心想：“这些人的伤势如此古怪，我是一样都治不来的。这下手伤人的凶手，为何挖空心思，这般折磨人家？” 忽地心念一动：“纪姑姑的肩伤和臂伤却都平常，莫非她另受奇特的内伤，否则何以她一人却是例外？”忙走进厢房，一搭纪晓芙的脉搏，登时吃了一惊，但觉她脉搏跳动忽强忽弱、时涩时滑，显是内脏有异，但为甚么会变得这样，实是难明其理。 那十四人伤势甚奇，他也不放在心，暗想其中崆峒派等那些人还和逼死他父母有关，此时受这些怪罪，也算活该，可是纪晓芙的伤却非救不可，于是走到胡青牛房外，低声道：“先生，你睡着了么？”只听胡青牛道：“甚么事？不管他是谁，我都不治。” 张无忌道：“是。只是这些人所受之伤，当真奇怪得紧。”将各人的怪伤一一说了。 胡青牛隔着布帘，听得极是仔细，有不明白之处，叫张无忌出去看过回来再说。张无忌花了大半个时辰，才将十五人的伤势细细说完。胡青牛口中不断“嗯，嗯”答应，显是在用心思索，过了良久，说道：“哼，这些怪伤，却也难我不倒……” 张无忌身后忽有人接口道：“胡先生，那金花的主人叫我跟你说：'你枉称医仙，可是这一十五种奇伤怪毒，料你一种也医不了。'哈哈，果然你只有躲将起来，假装生病。” 张无忌回过头来，见说话之人是崆峒派的秃头老者圣手伽蓝简捷。他头上一根毛发也没有，张无忌初时还道他是天生的光头，后来才知是给人涂了烈性毒药，头发齐根烂掉，毒药还在向内侵蚀，只怕数日之内毒性入脑，非大发癫狂不可。这时他双手被同伴用铁链缚住，才不能伸手去抓头皮，否则如此奇痒难当，早已自己抓得露出头骨了。 胡青牛淡淡的道：“我治得了也罢，治不了也罢，总之我是不会给你治的。我瞧你尚有七八日之命，赶快回家，还可和家人儿女见上一面，在这里罗里罗唆，究有何益？” 简捷头上痒得实在难忍，熬不住将脑袋在墙上乱擦乱撞，手上的铁链叮当急响，气喘吁吁的道：“胡先生，那金花的主儿早晚便来找你，我看你也难得好死，大家联手，共抗强敌，不是胜于你躲在房中束手待毙么？”胡青牛道：“你们倘若打得过他，早已杀了他啦！我多你们这十五个脓包帮手，有甚么用？” 简捷哀求一阵，胡青牛不再理睬。简捷暴跳如雷，喝道：“好，左右是个死，我一把火烧了你的狗窝。咱们白刀子进，红刀子出，做翻你这贼大夫，大伙儿一起送命。” 这时外边又走进一人，正是先前呕血那人，他伸手入怀，掏出一柄峨嵋钢刺，点在简捷胸口，冷冷的道：“你得罪胡前辈，我姓薛的先跟你过不去。你要白刀子进，红刀子出，好啊，我就先给你这么一下。”简捷的武功本在这姓薛的之上，但他双手被铁链绑住，无法招架，只有瞪着圆鼓鼓的一双大眼，不住喘气。 那姓薛的朗声道：“胡前辈，晚辈薛公远，是华山鲜于先生门下弟子，这里给你老人家磕头啦！”说着跪下去，磕了几个响头。简捷心中登时生出一丝指望，那胡青牛硬的不吃，这小子磕头软求，或者能成。薛公远行过大礼，又道：“胡前辈身有贵恙，那是我们没福。这里有一位小兄弟医道高明，还请胡前辈允可，让他给我们治一治。我们身上所带的歹毒怪伤，除了蝶谷医仙的弟子，普天下再也没有旁人治得好的了。” 胡青牛冷冷的道：“这孩子名叫张无忌，他是武当派弟子，乃'银钩铁划'张翠山张五侠的儿子，张三丰的再传弟子。胡青牛是明教中人。是你们名门正派所不齿的败类，跟他这种高人子弟有甚么干系？他自己身中阴毒，求我医治，可是我立过重誓，除非明教中人，决不替人治伤疗毒。这张姓的小孩不肯入我明教，我怎能救他性命？” 薛公远心中凉了半截，初时只道张无忌是胡青牛弟子，那么他本领虽然不及师父，遇到疑难之处，胡青牛定肯指点，不料他也是个求医被拒的病人。 只听胡青牛又道：“你们赖在我家里不走，哼哼，以为我便肯发善心么？你们问问这小孩，他赖在我家里多久啦。”薛公远和简捷一齐望着张无忌，只见他伸出两根手指比了一比，又比了一比。薛公远道：“二十天？”张无忌道：“整整两年零两个月。”简薛二人面面相觑，都透了一口长气。 胡青牛道：“他便再赖十年，我也不能救他性命。一年之内，缠结在他五脏六腑中的阴毒定要大举发作，无论如何活不过明年此日。我胡青牛当年曾对明尊立下重誓，便是生我的父亲，我自己的亲生儿女，只要他不是明教弟子，我便不能用医道救他们性命。” 简捷和薛公远垂头丧气，正要走出，胡青牛忽道：“这个武当派的少年他懂一点医理，他武当派的医理虽然远远不及我明教，但也还不致于整死人。他武当派肯救也好，见死不救也好，跟明教和我胡青牛可没牵连。” 薛公远一怔，听他话中之意，似是要张无忌动手，忙道：“胡前辈，这位张小侠若肯出手相救，我们便有活命之望了。”胡青牛道：“他救不救，关我屁事？无忌，你听着，在我胡青牛屋中，你不可妄使医术，除非出我家门，我才管不着。”薛公远和简捷本觉有望，这时一听此言，又是呆了，不明他到底是何用意。 张无忌却比他们聪明得多，当即明白，说道：“胡先生有病在身，你们不可多打扰他，请跟我出来。”三人来到草堂。张无忌道：“各位，小可年幼识浅，各位的伤势又是大为怪异，是否医治得好，殊无把握。各位若是信得过的，便容小可尽力一试，生死各凭天命。” 这当儿众人身上的伤处或痒、或酸或麻，无不难过得死去活来，便是有砒霜毒药要他们喝下去，只要解得一时之苦，那也是甘之如饴，听了张无忌的话，人人大喜应诺。 张无忌道
From then on, Hu Qingniu administered acupuncture and medicine to Zhang Wuji every day to dissipate the cold poison in his body.Zhang Wuji, on the other hand, tirelessly read medical books and memorized pharmacopoeias. Whenever he had any doubts, he would ask Hu Qingniu for advice.This is what Hu Qingniu likes, so I will give you some pointers.Sometimes Zhang Wuji asked some strange questions and thoughts, which could quite trigger some ways that Hu Qingniu had never thought of before.At the beginning, he planned to kill Zhang Wuji after healed him, but now he felt that once the young man died, Yan Zhong would lose the only good companion he could talk to, so he didn't want him to die sooner. After several months like this, one day Hu Qingniu suddenly discovered that Zhang Wuji's "Guanchong acupoint" on the outer side of his ring finger, "Qinglenyuan" two inches above his bent arm, and "Sizhukong" in the depression behind his eyebrows were all acupuncture points. No news at all.These acupoints belong to the "Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian of Hand".The triple burner is divided into upper burner, middle burner and lower burner. It is one of the six internal organs of the five internal organs. It is mysterious and elusive in medical books. (Note: The triple burner in Chinese medicine, according to doctors, refers to the various endocrines of the human body. Today, with the advancement of science, Western medicine still does not know much about the use and adjustment of endocrine, and it has always been an extremely difficult task in medicine. department.) Hu Qingniu thought hard and devised many ingenious methods, but he was still unable to force out the insidiousness of the triple burner in Zhang Wuji's body.During more than ten days, more than ten strands of his hair became gray due to exhaustion. Zhang Wuji saw that he was so troubled and worried, he was deeply grateful, but at the same time uneasy, he said: "Mr. Hu, you have tried your best to detoxify me. Everyone in the world is going to die. I, who has been scattered into the triple burner If you can’t get rid of the insidiousness, it’s because of fate, so you don’t have to worry too much, just to save my life and hurt your body.” Hu Qingniu snorted, and said lightly: "You look down on our Mingjiao and Tianyingjiao, when am I going to save your life? It's just that I can't cure you, so it seems that I am incompetent as a 'Diegu Doctor Immortal'. After I cure you, I'll kill you again." Zhang Wuji shuddered, listening to what he said lightly, it seemed that he didn't take it seriously, but knowing that he had said it, he was determined not to change it, sighed, and said: "I think the poison in my body can't get rid of in the end. You don’t have to do anything, I will die myself. People in the world seem to only hope that he will be happy when everyone else is dead. Isn’t everyone learning martial arts to kill others?” Hu Qingniu looked at the sky outside the court, lost his mind for a while, and said quietly: "When I was young, I devoted myself to studying medicine and determined to help the world and save people, but something went wrong after I saved the people. It hurt me. There was a young man who was poisoned by the golden silkworm poison in Miaojiang, Guizhou. Staying up late, exhausted all my efforts to treat him, and he married Jinlan as brothers and sisters, and betrothed my own sister to him as his wife. Who would have thought that he killed my own sister later. Do you know who this person is? ? He is the famous leader of the famous decent sect today." Zhang Wuji saw that the muscles on his face were distorted and his expression was extremely painful, he felt pity spontaneously in his heart, and thought to himself: "It turns out that he has experienced many tragic things in his life, and that's why he developed the temperament of 'seeing death without saving'." Said: "Who is this ungrateful, wolf-hearted person?" Hu Qingniu gritted his teeth and said: "He...he is the leader of the Huashan School, Xian Yutong." Zhang Wuji said: "Why don't you go to him to settle the score?" Hu Qingniu sighed: "I have tried to find him three times, but I have suffered disastrous defeats. The last time I almost killed him. This man is very skilled in martial arts, and he is also extremely witty. His nickname is 'Shenjizi'. He is far from his opponent. What's more, as the head of the Huashan Sect, he has a large number of people. Over the years, my Ming Sect has been torn apart, and the masters in the sect are killing each other. Please help. I am afraid that this grievance will not be repaid. Alas, my poor sister, my parents have been at odds since I was a child, and my brother and sister depend on each other for life..." Speaking of this, tears welled up in my eyes. Zhang Wuji thought to himself: "In fact, he is not a ruthless person." Hu Qingniu suddenly yelled: "What I said today, you must not mention it to me again, if it is leaked to others, I will make it impossible for you to live or die. Zhang Wuji wanted to contradict him a few words, but suddenly his heart softened, he felt that this person suffered no less than himself, so he said: "I don't say anything." Hu Qingniu stroked his hair and sighed: "Poor, pitiful! "Turn around and enter the inner hall. Hu Qingniu and Zhang Wuji had an in-depth conversation today, and realized that the cold poison in his triple energizer is hard to get rid of, even if he treated him with advanced medical skills, it would only prolong his life for a few years, so he changed his mood towards him.Although I never confide my life experience and thoughts to him since then, but seeing that he is considerate and lonely in the mountains, he is a good companion, so I give him advice on the changes of yin and yang and five elements in medical theory, acupuncture and moxibustion in square pulse every day.Zhang Wuji devoted himself to studying, and learned very hard.Hu Qingniu saw that he had a very high level of comprehension, and he was particularly knowledgeable about medicine such as "The Yellow Emperor's Shrimp and Toad Sutra", "Xizi Mingtang Sunburning Sutra", "Taiping Shenghui Prescription", "Moxibustion Jiayi Jing", Sun Simiao's "Qianjin Prescription", etc., he couldn't help sighing. : "With your ingenuity, you have to meet me, a once-in-a-lifetime Master, who is less than twenty years old, and should be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Hua Tuo and Bian Que, but... oh, what a pity, what a pity." The implication is that when you learn your medical skills well, your life expectancy will be over, so what's the use of studying so hard?Zhang Wuji had another idea in his mind, he was determined to learn superb medical skills, and when he saw Chang Yuchun, he would heal his damaged body back to its original state, and hoped that Yu Daiyan would be able to walk on his own without relying on other people's support .These are his two great wishes. If he can fulfill his wish, he will have no regrets after his life is exhausted.
The valley was peaceful and peaceful, and time passed quickly, after more than two years like this, Zhang Wuji was already fourteen years old.During these two years, Chang Yuchun visited him several times, said that Zhang Sanfeng was very happy to know that his condition was improving, and ordered him to stay in Butterfly Valley for a few more days in order to recover.Zhang Sanfeng and the six disciples each had clothes and supplies as presents, and they all said that they missed him very much, because of their different sects, it is inconvenient to come to visit.Zhang Wuji also misses Grand Master and six martial uncles very deeply, and wished he could go back to Wudang Mountain to see each other right away.Chang Yuchun also talked about the news from outside the valley. The Mongols have been oppressing the Han people more and more these years. The battle between the two is also becoming more and more intense, both sides have suffered heavy casualties, and the enmity is getting deeper and deeper. Every time Chang Yuchun came to Butterfly Valley, he would stay for a few days before leaving, it seemed that the affairs in the school were quite busy. One night, Zhang Wuji read for a while the medical book "This Matter Is Difficult to Know" written by Wang Haogu, and felt drowsy and sleepy, so he immediately went to bed and slept soundly.When he got up the next day, he felt a severe headache and wanted to find some medicine to dispel the wind and cold. When he went to the living room, he saw the shadow of the sun slanting to the west. It turned out to be noon. It's been a long time, it looks like I'm sick." I took my own pulse, but there was no abnormality, and I was even more surprised: "Could it be that I have a vicious attack and my life is over?" Walking outside Hu Qingniu's room, he saw the door was closed tightly and coughed lightly.I just heard Hu Qingniu say: "Wuji, I feel unwell today and have a sore throat. You can study by yourself." Zhang Wuji replied: "Yes." He was concerned about Hu Qingniu's condition and said, "Sir, let me see your throat. Okay?" Hu Qingniu said in a low voice: "No need. I have looked in the mirror and there is no serious problem. I have taken Niuhuangxijiao powder." That night, Tong'er brought food into the room, and Zhang Wuji followed him in, only to see Hu Qingniu lying on the bed with a haggard face.Hu Qingniu waved his hand and said, "Get out quickly. Do you know what disease I have? It's smallpox." Zhang Wuji looked at the red spots on his face and hands. Fatal, ranging from pimples all over the face, Hu Qingniu is a superb doctor, although contracted a serious disease, there is no future trouble, but he can't help worrying after all. Hu Qingniu said: "You can't come into my room again. All the bowls, chopsticks, cups and saucers I have used must be boiled in boiling water. You and Tonger can't mix them." After pondering for a moment, he said: "Wuji, you still come out of Butterfly Valley Go, stay outside for half a month, lest I pass smallpox to you." Zhang Wuji hurriedly said: "No, sir is sick, if I avoid it, who will take care of you? At least I know better than these two children Some medical principles." Hu Qingniu said: "You'd better avoid it." But after talking for a long time, Zhang Wuji always refused.In the past few years, the two have been together day and night, although Hu Qingniu has a weird temperament, the teacher and the student naturally have a good friendship, not to mention avoiding each other in the face of difficulties, it is really against Zhang Wuji's nature.Hu Qingniu said: "Okay, then you must not come into my room." After three days like this, Zhang Wuji greeted him outside the room in the morning and evening, and heard that although Hu Qingniu's voice was hoarse, he was still in good spirits, and his appetite was more than usual, so it was not a problem.Hu Qingniu reported the name and dosage of the medicine every day, and Tong'er cooked the medicine and handed it to him. On the afternoon of the fourth day, Zhang Wuji sat in the thatched cottage and recited the chapter "The Great Theory on the Adjustment of the Four Qis" in the "Huangdi Neijing", and read: This is what it means. After a serious illness has been completed, heal it, and when a disorder has occurred, heal it. Isn’t it too late to pierce a well when thirsty, or cast an awl after a fight?” He couldn’t help nodding secretly, thinking: “These words make sense. It’s really good. It’s really too late to dig wells when you’re thirsty, and to forge weapons when you want to fight with others. It’s too late to pacify the country after it’s in chaos. Start when the disease has not yet broken out. But Mr. Hu’s smallpox is caused by exogenous factors, so we can’t treat the disease first.” I also thought of the words in the “Yin and Yang Ying Xiang Da Lun” in the Canon of Internal Medicine: “He who is good at governance treats the fur, then the skin, and then the skin. To treat tendons and veins, first to treat the six internal organs, and then to treat the five internal organs. Those who treat the five internal organs are half dead and half alive." Heart said: "A good doctor sees that a person's disease is in its infancy, and he should treat it immediately. After the disease enters the five internal organs and then treat it, he is only half sure .The insidious poison like me scattered into the internal organs, not only half life and half death, it is almost a narrow escape." Just when he was admiring the great wisdom of the former sages and hurting himself again, he suddenly heard the sound of hooves coming in from outside the valley, and he was outside the hut after a while, only to hear a person say loudly: "Fellow Wulin, please see Mr. Hu, the Immortal Doctor, Ask him to heal the old man." Zhang Wuji walked to the door, only to see a dark-faced man standing outside the door, holding three horses in his hands, one person was lying on each of the two horses, the blood on his clothes was blurred, it was obvious that he was seriously injured.A white cloth was tied on the man's head, and the cloth was also stained with blood. His right hand was hung around his neck with a bandage. It seemed that the injury was not serious. Zhang Wuji said: "It's a coincidence that everyone came here. Mr. Hu himself is sick and bedridden, so he can't serve you, so please ask another expert!" The man said: "We have traveled hundreds of miles, and our lives are at stake. Doctor Immortal, help." Zhang Wuji said: "Mr. Hu is suffering from smallpox, and his condition is very serious. This is the truth, and we dare not deceive each other." The man said: "The three of us have been seriously injured this time. If we don't get rescued by Diegu's immortal doctor, we will surely die. I'm sorry. Let me report to you little brother, and I will listen to Mr. Hu's orders." Zhang Wuji said: "In that case, may I ask your surname and name." The man said: "My three people's humble names are not worth mentioning, so please say that they are the head of Huashan School Xianyu Disciple." At this point, his body was on the verge of falling, and he couldn't hold it anymore, he opened his mouth suddenly, and spewed out a big mouthful of blood. Zhang Wuji froze, thinking that Xian Yutong, the Huashan sword sect, was Mr. Hu's great enemy, and he didn't know how he would deal with it. He walked outside Hu Qingniu's room and said, "Sir, there are three people outside the door who were seriously injured. They came to seek medical treatment. Pai Xianyu's disciple who is the head of the sect." Hu Qingniu let out a soft "Hey" and said angrily: "It's not going to be cured, get out of the house quickly!" Zhang Wuji said: "Yes." When he returned to the thatched cottage, he said to the man, "Mr. Hu is seriously ill, it is difficult to see guests, please forgive me." The thin man raised his head suddenly, stretched out his hand and popped it out, only to see a golden light flashing, and with a clap, a small hidden weapon hit the table in the middle of the thatched cottage.The thin man said: "Take this golden flower and show it to the 'do not save', and say that the three of us were all injured by the owner of the golden flower. The man is now looking for his bad luck,' see If we don't save our lives, the three of us will stay here and help him defend against the enemy. Even if the three of us are not good at martial arts, there are always three more helpers." Hearing his words, Zhang Wuji was snarky, far less polite than the first man, and when he approached the table, he saw that the hidden weapon was a plum blossom made of gold, about the size of a real plum blossom, with a stamen made of platinum silk, very well crafted delicate.He stretched out his hand to grab it, but unexpectedly the skinny man's flick was so strong that the golden flower was embedded in the table, but he couldn't get it out, so he had to take a pair of tweezers, picked it up a few times, and then he took it out, thinking: "This skinny man's martial arts Not weak, but under the hands of Jinhua's master, he was injured so badly, he said that the man is coming to seek revenge, so he has to tell the master." So with Jinhua in his hand, he walked outside Hu Qingniu's room and told the story The words of that skinny man. Hu Qingniu said: "Bring it in and let me see." Zhang Wuji gently pushed open the door and opened the curtain, but he saw that the room was as dark as night, he knew that smallpox patients were afraid of wind and light, and the windows were covered with felt.Hu Qingniu's face was covered with a green cloth, only a pair of eyes were exposed.Zhang Wuji was startled inwardly: "I don't know how the pimples on his face are under the green cloth? Will it turn into mottled skin after he recovers?" Hu Qingniu said, "Put the golden flower on the table and leave the room quickly. " Zhang Wuji put down the golden flower as he said, opened the curtain and left the room, before closing the door, he heard Hu Qingniu say: "The life and death of the three of them has nothing to do with my surname Hu. Whether Hu Qingniu lives or dies, he will not bother him." Worry about you three." With a bang, the golden flower pierced through the door curtain and flew out, and fell to the ground with a bang, Zhang Wuji has been with him for more than two years, and he has never seen him practice martial arts. However, the genius doctor is also a master of martial arts. Although he is ill, he has not lost his martial arts. Zhang Wuji picked up the golden flower, went out and gave it back to the thin man, shook his head, and said, "Mr. Hu is really seriously ill..." Suddenly he heard the clattering of hooves and the rumble of cars, a carriage was driving towards the valley Come. Zhang Wuji walked outside the door, only to see the carriage driving very fast, it came to the door in a blink of an eye, and stopped suddenly.A light-skinned young man stepped down from the car seat, took out a bald old man from the car, and asked, "Is Mr. Hu, the doctor of Butterfly Valley, at home? Jialan Jianjie, a master of the Kongtong sect, has traveled far away to seek medical treatment..." The third sentence did not After saying that, he shook his body a few times, and fell to the ground together with the bald old man in his hand.说也凑巧，拉车的两匹健马也乏得脱了力，口吐白沫，同时跪倒。 瞧了二人这般神情，不问可知是远道急驰而来，途中毫没休息，以致累得如此狼狈。张无忌听到“崆峒门下”四字，心想在武当山上逼死父母的诸人之中，有崆峒派的长老在内，这秃头老者当日虽然没曾来到武当，但料想也非好人，正想回绝，忽见山道上影影绰绰，又有四五人走来，有的一跛一拐，有的互相携扶，都是身上有伤。 张无忌皱起眉头，不等这干人走近，朗声说道：“胡先生染上天花，自身难保，不能为各位治伤。请大家及早另寻名医，以免耽误了伤势。” 待得那干人等走近，看清楚共有五人，个个脸如白纸，竟无半点血色，身上却没有伤痕血迹，看来都是受了内伤。为首一人又高又胖，向秃头老者简捷和投掷金花的瘦小汉子点了点头，三人相对苦笑，原来三批人都是相识的。张无忌好奇心起，问道：“你们都是被那金花的主人所伤么？”那胖子道：“不错。”那最先到达、口喷鲜血的汉子问道：“小兄弟贵姓？跟胡先生怎生称呼？”张无忌道：“我是胡先生的病人，知道胡先生说过不治，那是决计不治的，你们便赖在这里也没用。” 说话间，先后又有四个人到来，有的乘车，有的骑马，一齐求恳要见胡青牛。 张无忌大感奇怪：“蝴蝶谷地处偏僻，除了魔教中人，江湖上知者甚少，这些人或属崆峒，或隶华山，均非魔教，怎地不约而同的受伤，又不约而同的赶来求医？”又想：“那金花的主人既如此了得，要取这些人的性命看来也非难事，却何以只将各人打得重伤？” 那十四人有的善言求恳，有的一声不响，但都是磨着不走，眼见天色将晚，十四个人挤满了一间草堂。煮饭的僮儿将张无忌所吃的饭菜端了出来。张无忌也不跟他们客气，自顾自的吃了，翻开医书，点了油灯阅读，对这十四人竟是视而不见，心想：“我既学了胡先生的医术，也得学一学他'见死不救'的功夫。”
夜阑人静，茅舍中除了张无忌翻读书页、伤者粗重的喘气之外，再无别的声息。突然之间，屋外山路上传来了两个人轻轻的脚步声音，足步缓慢，走向茅舍而来。 过了片刻，一个清脆的女孩声音说道：“妈，屋里有灯火，这就到了。”从声音听来，女孩年纪甚幼。一个女子声音道：“孩子，你累不累？”那女孩道：“我不累，妈，医生给你治病，你就不痛了。”那女子道：“嗯，就不知医生肯不肯给我治。” 张无忌心中一震：“这女子的声音好熟！似乎是纪晓芙姑姑。”只听那女孩道：“医生定会给你治的。妈，你别怕，你痛得好些了么？”那女子道：“好些了，唉，苦命的孩子。”张无忌听到这里，再无怀疑，纵身抢到门口，叫道：“纪姑姑，是你么？你也受了伤么？”月光之下，只见一个青衫女子携着一个小女孩，正是峨嵋女侠纪晓芙。 她在武当山上见到张无忌时，他未满十岁，这时相隔将近五年，张无忌已自孩童成为少年，黑夜中突然相逢，那里认得出来，一愕之下，道：“你……你……” 张无忌道：“纪姑姑，你不认得我了罢？我是张无忌。在武当山上，我爹爹妈妈去世那天，曾见过你一面。” 纪晓芙“啊”的一声惊呼，万料不到竟会在此处见到他，想起自己以未嫁之身，却携了一个女儿，张无忌是自己未婚夫殷梨亭的师侄，虽然年少，终究难以交代，不由得又羞又窘，胀得满脸通红。她受伤本是不轻，一惊之下，身子摇晃，便要摔倒。 她小女儿只八九岁年纪，见母亲快要摔跤，忙双手拉住她手臂，可是人小力微，济得甚事？眼见两人都要摔跌，张无忌抢上扶住纪晓芙肩头，道：“纪姑姑，请进去休息一会。”扶着她走进草堂。灯火下只见她左肩和左臂都受了极厉害的刀剑之伤，包扎的布片上还在不断渗出鲜血，又听她轻声咳嗽不停，无法自止。 张无忌此时的医术，早已胜过寻常的所谓“名医”，听得她咳声有异，知是肺叶受到重大震荡，便道：“纪姑姑，你右手和人对掌，伤了太阴肺脉。” 当下取出七枚金针，隔着衣服，便在她肩头“云门”、胸口“华盖”、肘中“尺泽”等七处穴道上刺下去。其时他的针灸之术，与当年医治常遇春时自已有天壤之别。这两年来，他跟着胡青牛潜心苦学，于诊断病情、用药变化诸道，限于见闻阅厉，和胡青牛自是相去尚远，但针灸一门，却已学到了这位“医仙”的七八成本领。 纪晓芙初时见他取出金针，还不知他的用意，哪知他手法极快，一转眼间，七枚金针便分别刺入自己的穴道，她这七处要穴全属于手太阴肺经，金针一到，胸口闭塞之苦立时大减。她又惊又喜，说道：“好孩子，想不到你在这里，又学会了这样好的本领。” 那日在武当山上，纪晓芙见张翠山、殷素素自杀身亡，怜悯张无忌孤苦，曾柔声安慰，又除下自己颈中黄金项圈，要想给他。但张无忌当时心中愤激悲痛，将所有上山来的人，都当作是迫死他父母的仇人，因之对纪晓芙出言顶撞，使她难以下台。后来张无忌年纪大后，得知当日父亲和诸师伯叔曾拟和峨嵋诸侠联手，共抗强敌，才知峨嵋派其实是友非敌，而于纪晓芙对他的一番心意，事后回想，心中更常自感激。 两年之前，他和常遇春深夜在树林中见到了纪晓芙力救彭和尚，更觉这位纪姑姑为人极好，至于她何以未嫁生子、是否对不起殷叔叔等情由，他年纪尚小，于这些男女之情全不了然，听过之后便如春风过耳，绝不萦怀。纪晓芙自己心虚，斗然间遇到和殷梨亭相识之人时便窘迫异常，深感无地自容，其实这件事张无忌在两年前便已从丁敏君口中听到，他认定丁敏君是个坏女人，那么她口中所说的事，也就便未必是坏。 他这时但见纪晓芙的女儿站在母亲身旁，眉目如画，黑漆般大眼珠骨碌碌地转动，好奇的望着自己。那女孩将口俯在母亲耳边，低声道：“妈，这个小孩便是医生吗？你痛得好些了么？”纪晓芙听她叫自己为“妈”，又是脸上一红，事已至此，也无法隐瞒，脸上神色甚是尴尬，道：“这位是张家哥哥，他爹爹是妈的朋友。”向张无忌低声道：“她……她叫'不悔'。”顿了顿，又道：“姓杨，叫杨不悔！”张无忌笑道：“好啊，小妹妹，你的名字倒跟我有些相像，我叫张无忌，你叫杨不悔。” 纪晓芙见张无忌神色如常，并无责难之意，心下稍宽，向女儿道：“无忌哥哥的本领很好，妈已不大痛啦。” 杨不悔灵活的大眼睛转了几转，突然走上前去，抱住张无忌，在他面颊上吻了一下。她除了母亲之外，从来不见外人，这次母亲身受重伤，急难之中，竟蒙张无忌替她减轻痛苦，心中自是大为感激。她对母亲表示欢喜和感谢，向来是扑在她怀里，在她脸上亲吻，这时对张无忌便也如此。 纪晓芙含笑斥道：“不儿，别这样，无忌哥哥不喜欢的。”杨不悔睁着大大的眼睛，不明其理，问张无忌道：“你不喜欢么？为甚么不要我对你好？”张无忌笑道：“我喜欢的，我也对你好。”在她柔嫩的面颊上轻轻吻了一下。杨不悔拍手道：“小医生，你快替妈妈的伤全都治好了，我就再亲你一下。” 张无忌见这个小妹妹天真活泼，甚是可爱。他十多年来，相识的都是年纪大过他很多的伯伯叔叔，常遇春虽和他兄弟相称，也大了他八岁。那日舟中和周芷若匆匆一面，相聚不到一天，便即分手，此外从未交过一个小朋友，这时不禁心道：“要是我有这样一个有趣的亲妹子，便可常常带着她玩耍了。”他还只十四岁，童心犹是极盛，只是幼历坎坷，实无多少玩耍嬉戏的机会。 纪晓芙见圣手蓝伽简捷等一干人伤势狼藉，显是未经医理，她不愿占这个便宜，说道：“这几位比我先来，你先瞧瞧他们罢。这会儿我已好多了。” 张无忌道：“他们是来向胡先生求医的。胡先生自己身染重病，不能医人，这几位却不肯走。纪姑姑，你并非向胡先生求医，小侄在这儿耽得久了，略通一点粗浅的医理，你若是信得过，小侄便瞧瞧你的伤势。” 纪晓芙受伤后得人指点，来到蝴蝶谷，原和简捷等人一般，也是要向胡青牛求医，这时听了张无忌这几句话，又见到简捷等一干人的情状，显是那“见死不救”胡青牛不肯施治，何况张无忌适才替她针治要穴，立时见效，看来他年纪虽小，医道却着实高明，便道：“这可多谢你啦。大国手不肯治，请小国手治疗也是一样。” 当下张无忌请她走到厢房之中，剪破她创口衣服，发觉她肩臂上共受了三处刀伤，臂骨亦已折断，上臂骨有一处裂成碎片。这等骨碎，在外科中本是极难接续，但在“蝶谷医仙”的弟子看来，却也寻常，于是替她接骨疗伤，敷上生肌活血的药物，再开了一张药方，命僮儿按方煎药。他初次替人接骨，手法未免不够敏捷，但忙了个把时辰，终于包扎妥善，说道：“纪姑姑，请你安睡一会，待会麻药药性退了，伤口会痛得很厉害。”纪晓芙道：“多谢你啦！”张无忌到储药室中找了些枣子杏脯，拿去给杨不悔吃，哪知她昨晚一夜不睡，这时已偎倚在母亲怀中沉沉睡熟。张无忌将枣杏放在她衣袋中，回到草堂。 华山派那口吐鲜血的弟子站了起来，向张无忌深深一揖，说道：“小先生，胡先生既是染病，只好烦劳小先生给我们治一治，大伙儿尽感大德。” 张无忌学会医术后，除了替常遇春、纪晓芙治疗之外，从未用过，眼见这十四人或内脏震伤，或四肢断折，伤处各有不同，常言道学以致用，确是颇有跃跃欲试之意，但想起胡青牛的言语，答道：“此处是胡先生家中，小可也是他的病人，如何敢擅自作主？” 那汉子鉴貌辨色，见他推辞得并不决绝，便再捧他一捧，奉上一顶高帽，说道：“自来名医都是五六十岁的老先生，哪知小先生年纪轻轻，竟具这等本领，真是世上少见，还盼显一显身手。” 那富商模样的姓梁胖子道：“我们十四人在江湖上均是小有名头，得蒙小先生救治，大家出去一宣扬，江湖上都知小先生医道如神的大名，旦夕之间，小先生便名闻天下了。” 张无忌毕竟年纪幼小，不明世情，给他两人这么一吹一捧，不免有些欢喜，说道：“名闻天下有甚么好？胡先生既不肯动手，我也无法，但你们受伤均自不轻，这样罢，我给你们稍减痛楚便是。”于是取出金创药来，要替各人止血减痛。 待得详察每人的伤势，不由得越看越是惊奇，原来每人的伤势固各各不同，而且伤法甚为奇特，均是胡青牛所授伤科症中从未提到过的。有一人被逼吞服了数十枚钢针，针上而且喂毒。有人肝脏被内力震伤，但医治肝伤的“行间”、“中封”、“阴包”、“五里”诸要穴却都被人用尖刀戳烂，显然下手之人也是精通医理，要叫人无从着手医治。有一人两块肺叶上被钉上两枚长长的铁钉，不断的咳嗽咯血。有一人左右两排肋骨全断，可又没伤到心肺。有一人双手被割，却被左手接在右臂上，右手接在左臂上，血肉相连，不伦不类。更有一人全身青肿，说是被蜈蚣、蝎子、黄蜂等二十余种毒虫同时蜇伤。 张无忌只看了六七个人，已是大皱眉头，心想：“这些人的伤势如此古怪，我是一样都治不来的。这下手伤人的凶手，为何挖空心思，这般折磨人家？” 忽地心念一动：“纪姑姑的肩伤和臂伤却都平常，莫非她另受奇特的内伤，否则何以她一人却是例外？”忙走进厢房，一搭纪晓芙的脉搏，登时吃了一惊，但觉她脉搏跳动忽强忽弱、时涩时滑，显是内脏有异，但为甚么会变得这样，实是难明其理。 那十四人伤势甚奇，他也不放在心，暗想其中崆峒派等那些人还和逼死他父母有关，此时受这些怪罪，也算活该，可是纪晓芙的伤却非救不可，于是走到胡青牛房外，低声道：“先生，你睡着了么？”只听胡青牛道：“甚么事？不管他是谁，我都不治。” 张无忌道：“是。只是这些人所受之伤，当真奇怪得紧。”将各人的怪伤一一说了。 胡青牛隔着布帘，听得极是仔细，有不明白之处，叫张无忌出去看过回来再说。张无忌花了大半个时辰，才将十五人的伤势细细说完。胡青牛口中不断“嗯，嗯”答应，显是在用心思索，过了良久，说道：“哼，这些怪伤，却也难我不倒……” 张无忌身后忽有人接口道：“胡先生，那金花的主人叫我跟你说：'你枉称医仙，可是这一十五种奇伤怪毒，料你一种也医不了。'哈哈，果然你只有躲将起来，假装生病。” 张无忌回过头来，见说话之人是崆峒派的秃头老者圣手伽蓝简捷。他头上一根毛发也没有，张无忌初时还道他是天生的光头，后来才知是给人涂了烈性毒药，头发齐根烂掉，毒药还在向内侵蚀，只怕数日之内毒性入脑，非大发癫狂不可。这时他双手被同伴用铁链缚住，才不能伸手去抓头皮，否则如此奇痒难当，早已自己抓得露出头骨了。 胡青牛淡淡的道：“我治得了也罢，治不了也罢，总之我是不会给你治的。我瞧你尚有七八日之命，赶快回家，还可和家人儿女见上一面，在这里罗里罗唆，究有何益？” 简捷头上痒得实在难忍，熬不住将脑袋在墙上乱擦乱撞，手上的铁链叮当急响，气喘吁吁的道：“胡先生，那金花的主儿早晚便来找你，我看你也难得好死，大家联手，共抗强敌，不是胜于你躲在房中束手待毙么？”胡青牛道：“你们倘若打得过他，早已杀了他啦！我多你们这十五个脓包帮手，有甚么用？” 简捷哀求一阵，胡青牛不再理睬。简捷暴跳如雷，喝道：“好，左右是个死，我一把火烧了你的狗窝。咱们白刀子进，红刀子出，做翻你这贼大夫，大伙儿一起送命。” 这时外边又走进一人，正是先前呕血那人，他伸手入怀，掏出一柄峨嵋钢刺，点在简捷胸口，冷冷的道：“你得罪胡前辈，我姓薛的先跟你过不去。你要白刀子进，红刀子出，好啊，我就先给你这么一下。”简捷的武功本在这姓薛的之上，但他双手被铁链绑住，无法招架，只有瞪着圆鼓鼓的一双大眼，不住喘气。 那姓薛的朗声道：“胡前辈，晚辈薛公远，是华山鲜于先生门下弟子，这里给你老人家磕头啦！”说着跪下去，磕了几个响头。简捷心中登时生出一丝指望，那胡青牛硬的不吃，这小子磕头软求，或者能成。薛公远行过大礼，又道：“胡前辈身有贵恙，那是我们没福。这里有一位小兄弟医道高明，还请胡前辈允可，让他给我们治一治。我们身上所带的歹毒怪伤，除了蝶谷医仙的弟子，普天下再也没有旁人治得好的了。” 胡青牛冷冷的道：“这孩子名叫张无忌，他是武当派弟子，乃'银钩铁划'张翠山张五侠的儿子，张三丰的再传弟子。胡青牛是明教中人。是你们名门正派所不齿的败类，跟他这种高人子弟有甚么干系？他自己身中阴毒，求我医治，可是我立过重誓，除非明教中人，决不替人治伤疗毒。这张姓的小孩不肯入我明教，我怎能救他性命？” 薛公远心中凉了半截，初时只道张无忌是胡青牛弟子，那么他本领虽然不及师父，遇到疑难之处，胡青牛定肯指点，不料他也是个求医被拒的病人。 只听胡青牛又道：“你们赖在我家里不走，哼哼，以为我便肯发善心么？你们问问这小孩，他赖在我家里多久啦。”薛公远和简捷一齐望着张无忌，只见他伸出两根手指比了一比，又比了一比。薛公远道：“二十天？”张无忌道：“整整两年零两个月。”简薛二人面面相觑，都透了一口长气。 胡青牛道：“他便再赖十年，我也不能救他性命。一年之内，缠结在他五脏六腑中的阴毒定要大举发作，无论如何活不过明年此日。我胡青牛当年曾对明尊立下重誓，便是生我的父亲，我自己的亲生儿女，只要他不是明教弟子，我便不能用医道救他们性命。” 简捷和薛公远垂头丧气，正要走出，胡青牛忽道：“这个武当派的少年他懂一点医理，他武当派的医理虽然远远不及我明教，但也还不致于整死人。他武当派肯救也好，见死不救也好，跟明教和我胡青牛可没牵连。” 薛公远一怔，听他话中之意，似是要张无忌动手，忙道：“胡前辈，这位张小侠若肯出手相救，我们便有活命之望了。”胡青牛道：“他救不救，关我屁事？无忌，你听着，在我胡青牛屋中，你不可妄使医术，除非出我家门，我才管不着。”薛公远和简捷本觉有望，这时一听此言，又是呆了，不明他到底是何用意。 张无忌却比他们聪明得多，当即明白，说道：“胡先生有病在身，你们不可多打扰他，请跟我出来。”三人来到草堂。张无忌道：“各位，小可年幼识浅，各位的伤势又是大为怪异，是否医治得好，殊无把握。各位若是信得过的，便容小可尽力一试，生死各凭天命。” 这当儿众人身上的伤处或痒、或酸或麻，无不难过得死去活来，便是有砒霜毒药要他们喝下去，只要解得一时之苦，那也是甘之如饴，听了张无忌的话，人人大喜应诺。 张无忌道
