The main room of the Qian family.
After the three national medical sages left, Governor Han and the others also took their leave.
Soon, only their own people were left in the room.
Qian Jinglan complained: “Qiu’er, what you did earlier was really too risky. Challenging the Great Han Medical Saint alone and also challenging all the famous doctors in the Great Han. If you lost, the consequences would be disastrous.”
Just as Ye Qiu was about to speak, Grandpa Qian spoke first.
”Jinglan, there’s no need to worry.”
”Although I just met Ye Qiu for the first time, I can see that he is not a reckless person.”
”Since he dares to accept the challenge, he must be confident.”
Besides, a person is in vain a youth if he is not rash. At his age, it is the time to be ostentatious.”
Qian Jinglan gave Grandpa Qian a white look and said: “Qiu’er’s character is a bit like yours. When you were young, you also did such a thing.”
”Hahaha, who made him my grandson.” Grandpa Qian laughed heartily.
When Ye Qiu heard this, there was a story about his grandfather. He couldn’t help but ask: “Mom, what did Grandpa do when he was young?”
”When your grandfather was forty years old, the international situation changed suddenly. Because of issues such as education, human rights, and civil liberties, countless countries jointly pressured our country. Your grandfather, as a consultant, went to the United Nations.”
“At the conference, your grandfather single-handedly debated with a group of scholars and fought against the crowd, leaving the representatives of dozens of countries speechless. Even the representatives of two countries were scolded fainted by your grandfather’s sharp words.”
“This incident greatly enhanced the prestige of Huaguo and was rated as one of the top ten events in the history of Huaguo’s diplomacy.”
“Your grandfather’s speech at that time was also written into the textbooks of the Foreign Affairs College. Until now, every person who studies diplomacy will study your grandfather’s speech.”
So awesome!
Ye Qiu couldn’t help but feel a sense of respect in his heart.
“Old things, why mention them?” Grandpa Qian got out of bed, picked up his cane, and said to Ye Qiu, “Come with me for a while.”
Then, under the gaze of everyone, Grandpa Qian walked into the study with a cane, leading Ye Qiu.
As soon as he entered the door, Ye Qiu was stunned.
This is not a study at all, but clearly a library.
Looking around, there are tens of thousands of books placed on the dense bookshelves.
As Grandpa Qian walked, he said, “I have no hobbies in my life, I just like reading books. So over the past few decades, I have hidden a lot of books.”
“Most of the books here, I have read.”
“In the future, when you have time, you can also come here to read.”
Grandpa Qian led the way in front and didn’t stop until he reached the innermost bookshelf.
Ye Qiu looked up and found that the bookshelf was filled with some sandalwood boxes.
There are several wooden boxes that are particularly large.
“What’s inside?” Ye Qiu asked.
“Books.” Old Man Qian smiled and said, “Because these books are all rare copies and relatively precious. To prevent them from getting damp, I put them in wooden boxes.”
Ye Qiu asked again, “Grandpa, what’s your intention in bringing me here?”
“You’re about to compete with the Great Korean Medical Saint. Although I don’t understand medicine, I also want to help you a little.”
“Besides, we just met and you saved my life. I have to show my gratitude.”
Old Man Qian pointed to the bookshelf with his cane and said, “The wooden boxes in the third row contain medical books. Maybe they will be useful to you. Open them and take a look!”
Ye Qiu was a little curious. He opened the first wooden box and found a set of medical books inside.
On the cover page, two words were written——
《The Pulse Classic》!
Ye Qiu opened it and took a look, and his heart trembled.
This book is actually the original version.
《The Pulse Classic》 was compiled by Wang Shuhe during the Western Jin Dynasty. It is the first existing monograph on pulse studies in the history of Chinese medicine.
This book has a huge influence.
During the Tang Dynasty, the Imperial Medical Office regarded it as a compulsory course. Later, it also had a huge impact on Tibetan medicine and was spread to countries such as Dae Dong, Persia, and the Middle East, playing a crucial role in the development of Western pulse studies.
Obviously, this set of medical books is a rare copy.
It’s worth a fortune.
Ye Qiu put down the book, closed the wooden box, and then opened the second wooden box.
Inside was another set of medical books.
《Emergency Prescriptions to Keep Up One’s Sleeve》!
Written by Ge Hong in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Although this book was not the original version, it was a printed copy from the Ming Dynasty and was of considerable value. It recorded simple therapies for some common diseases, including internal prescriptions, tuina massage, acupuncture, bone setting, and other contents.
Ye Qiu took a glance and then put it back in the box.
Opening the third box, there was still a set of medical books inside.
The Song Dynasty edition of 《Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold》, a work by Sun Simiao.
Ye Qiu was not interested either, and he didn’t even take out this book to read.
Then, Ye Qiu continuously opened several more wooden boxes, and all of them contained various medical books, but he basically didn’t flip through them.
”What, not interested in them?” Old Man Qian asked.
Ye Qiu said truthfully, “These things are not of much use to me.”
Old Man Qian was a little disappointed. He had originally thought that these things could be of some use, but who knew they were useless to Ye Qiu.
Old Man Qian said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Ye Qiu. I wanted to help you a little, but I didn’t expect it to be like this…”
Ye Qiu hurriedly said, “Grandpa, the fact that you have this intention is a great encouragement to me.”
”What a good boy.”
After Old Man Qian finished speaking, he turned around and walked outside.
Ye Qiu followed behind him. After walking two steps, suddenly, Ye Qiu noticed a book placed in the corner of the bookshelf.
The reason why this book attracted Ye Qiu’s attention was that it was not stored in a wooden box, but randomly discarded in the corner of the bookshelf, with a thick layer of dust on it.
Ye Qiu stopped and pointed to the book and asked, “Grandpa, what is that book?”
Old Man Qian stopped and took a look, and said, “It is said to be a medical book. Someone gave it to me. But this book is rather strange. There is not a single word on it.”
A wordless book?
Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment, bent down and picked up the book, wiped off the dust, and opened it to see that, as Old Man Qian said, there was not a single word in it.
But Ye Qiu noticed that this book was made of kraft paper and was obviously an extraordinary thing at a glance.
Why are there no words?
Ye Qiu frowned.
”I have studied it for a while and haven’t found anything. If you are interested, just take it away!”
When Old Man Qian said this, he seemed to think of something and said, “Ye Qiu, I’m going out first. There are still some things that need to be dealt with.”
”Okay.”
After Old Man Qian left, Ye Qiu held the wordless book and looked at it over and over again, trying to find some clues.
However, after more than ten minutes, he still didn’t find anything from this book.
Even, he even opened his Heavenly Eye and didn’t find anything abnormal.
“It’s really strange.” Ye Qiu was about to put the book back in its original place. Accidentally, the kraft paper page cut his finger, and blood spilled on the wordless book.
Suddenly, a strange change occurred.
On the cover of the wordless book, four big characters suddenly appeared —
Against the Heavens Nine Needles!
