Chapter 74: A Teacher's Reputation Precedes Him

  "Am I deceiving everyone?" Su Nan said coldly, "Then please use your scientific language to explain Old Man Ming's condition!"

  How could that expert have explained it, if he had been able to explain it, then Su Nan wouldn't have needed to treat Ming Lao for him. Now being asked by Su Nan like this, he was tongue-tied and didn't know what to say.

  "Can't you say anything else? Is this what you call science? As long as you think it's reasonable, it's science; if you think it's unreasonable, it's heresy? Is science really science or are you the one who decides what science is? You occupy the position of an expert, but instead of doing a good job, you're only thinking about suppressing others. Not to mention that you don't deserve the title of expert, are you even human? Even an ordinary person knows how to coexist peacefully, but in your mind, it's all about excluding others?"

  "Practice is the sole criterion for testing scientific truth. I have already proven my theory with facts to you, that it has been verified in treating Chairman Mao's illness, what about yours? You just shout here, what kind of expert are you, without any tolerance?"

  "If what you call science is just these existing rules and frameworks, then is it still science? Is a subject with no room for progress worth people's maintenance and pursuit?"

  The most straightforward rebuke to that so-called expert's innermost thoughts. Normally, he was always at the forefront of opposing traditional Chinese medicine, shouting every day about abolishing it. Unexpectedly, today he encountered something inexplicable, and Su Nan explained it to everyone using his theoretical knowledge, and even used theory to guide practice, solving the problem. Although he couldn't accept it, the facts were right in front of him, yet he couldn't refute them.

  "Hmmph!"

  Suddenly, that expert spat out a mouthful of blood and fell straight to the ground, convulsing uncontrollably.

  "What Xiao Su said is good." President Ming said on the side, "We learn Western advanced scientific knowledge in order to make our nation stronger, not to abandon our traditions and become slaves of Western thought. We must selectively accept it, then integrate it with our own knowledge, measure our feet to make shoes that fit, rather than cutting off our toes to wear a pair of Western ideological shoes."

  "What Chairman Ming instructed is good, we must pay attention to this point in our future work." Xu Minggong hastily responded on the side. Chairman Ming was a national leader, although he had already retired, but they were still in the sequence of national leaders.

  This time, Director Ming went south to Pucheng with an important task. In the current bad political environment of the world, the country is implementing a special measure. Although others are not clear about the specific content, according to the revelation of informed sources, it is known that officials at all levels should still wipe their buttocks clean and do their jobs conscientiously. However, Xu Minggong himself is a member of the Political Bureau and also has the identity of a national leader, so he must know what Director Ming's task is.

  In this case, Old Master Ming just coughed and Xu Minggong had to ponder for half a day, thinking if there was any special meaning, let alone when Old Master Ming said such things.

  "How is this expert's body?" After expressing his opinion, President Ming asked about the person's physical condition.

  Dr. Zhang is the health doctor of Ming Laozong and also half a master, just now after that expert fell down, he first squatted down to check his condition.

  "Oh no, this is a precursor to stroke, you must be hospitalized for good treatment." Some people also squatted down with Dr. Zhang, took a look, and shouted first.

  "Uh-huh." Dr. Zhang also nodded in agreement with the man's diagnosis. Upon hearing President Ming's question, he explained their diagnostic situation to President Ming once again.

  "Is it very serious?" Mr. Ming asked with concern, after all, he was the doctor who came to treat him, and even if there was no merit, there was hard work. Besides, even if he were an ordinary person, with Mr. Ming's heart of worrying about the country and its people, he would still pay attention to this matter after meeting him.

  "It's fortunate that it was discovered early, and it's not very serious, but hospitalization and a period of recuperation are still necessary." Dr. Zhang explained to President Ming.

  "Little Su, what do you think?" Old Ming remembered Su Nan coming. He knew that his illness had left a group of experts at a loss for what to do. After Su Nan arrived, he only used a few silver needles and a cup of water to declare that his illness was cured.

  Just now, when that expert fell down, Su Nan was observing his situation and had already figured it out in her mind. Upon hearing Ming Lao's question, she replied: "The conclusion of the various experts is not wrong, hospitalization for treatment will do."

  When Su Nan also said so, Ming Lao was about to nod and let someone send the expert away, Hu Yanling spoke again. Among the people present, he had a close relationship with Ming Lao, and he was also the most familiar with Su Nan. Just now, when he saw Su Nan speaking, his mouth twitched slightly, as if there were still words that hadn't been said yet.

  "Xiao Su, don't you have a better way to treat this expert?"

  He asked this, and no one felt abrupt, after all, he had just treated Chairman Ming's condition, which was already a great shock to those experts. Since they knew the disease, they must have also had corresponding treatment methods. However, they were still secretly scolding Hu Yanling in their hearts, you want to praise Su Nan, but do you need to be so eager to praise him? He has already shown his face in front of Chairman Ming, and now you're coming to grab the opportunity for him again. But is this possible? How to treat this disease, there have been mature plans for a long time, even if you want to innovate, you don't have the chance anymore.

  Who would have thought, their muttering had not ended yet, when Su Nan was already nodding over there, "Yes, Old Hu, I can treat it. After one treatment, it will recover, only my method is unscientific, I think this expert won't be willing to let me treat."

  Everyone heard Su Nan's words and felt that he was asking for a beating. This was like slapping the expert in the face with a big ear slap.

  Aren't you saying that my treatment method is unscientific? Now it's up to you, choose: either get up immediately, dust yourself off and hop home like nothing happened; or be carried to the hospital like a dead dog, lie there for a week, constantly getting injections, taking medicine and having check-ups.

  "I... " The expert gritted his teeth, "I'll go to the hospital for treatment." Being hospitalized without spending my own money is like a vacation. Since I've insisted on my own point of view, I won't give up now. This kid is too despicable! I am invincible and will not yield!

  Others advised him a few more words, but the expert still insisted. Someone said to him: "You don't believe in his magical medical skills, and you have this opportunity now, so let's expose him thoroughly. We all know your situation, if you go to the hospital for treatment according to the current plan, it will take at least a week to recover and be discharged from the hospital. Why not let him try, see how he can cure you, and use facts to educate him!"

  "Good!" The expert finally nodded in agreement. A famous doctor, who wouldn't want to recover quickly? But the problem of face still needs to be considered, now that I've invited him, it's not just about treating the illness, but using this condition to test him, to see if he really has skills or is all talk.

  "Dr. Su, come here." Dr. Zhang walked over to Sunan and said a sentence to him.

  It was the doctor who claimed to have studied acupuncture, and he was also paying attention to Sunan. So far, he still didn't understand why his acupuncture wasn't as effective as Sunan's. At first, he had also thought of using acupuncture to treat illnesses. However, he found that for those severe acute diseases, his acupuncture simply didn't work, and only in the recovery stage, as a means of rehabilitation, would his acupuncture be useful. But looking at Sunan's situation, this acupuncture could be used in emergency rescue, so how did he do it?

  It's not the time to ask that question yet, but the doctor knew it was urgent to save people. However, he could learn acupuncture, which means he still believed in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, but had not yet entered the door and couldn't speak for it.

  Still a few silver needles, after finding the acupoint, with internal force quickly pierced into the body of that expert who fell to the ground.

  "Is this the Wu Xing Mei Hua Zhen?" The expert who had studied acupuncture almost shouted out loud. Just now when Su Nan was treating Old Man Ming, he wasn't present on the scene, so he hadn't seen it, but now that Su Nan had made his move in public, he saw it with his own eyes.

  It wasn't just him, but other unseen experts were also stunned by the strange scene. The five silver needles actually had a colorful glow attached to them. How was this done? When Su Nan first picked it up, it was clearly a silver needle, so how did it change color in the blink of an eye?

  "Deceiving people with tricks!" Although they didn't say it out loud, most people had already mentally labeled Su Nan as such. They thought that he was using this method to deify himself, making people worship him and psychologically accept his medical skills. His so-called treatment was just a form of psychological suggestion, and in fact, it wasn't really curing the patients at all, but rather letting them deceive themselves into thinking they were better.

  But what they didn't know was that the colorful glow was actually the color of the Five Elements' true energy. Without the foundation of yin and yang and the Five Elements, traditional Chinese medicine is indeed not easy to believe in.

  After the first acupuncture treatment, Su Nan retrieved the silver needle, and the patient's condition had improved significantly.

  "In his case, he still needs to take medicine to consolidate the treatment effect," Su Nan said, and came up with a prescription without hesitation.

  "What is this?" The expert who had studied some traditional Chinese medicine took the prescription and looked at it, slightly stunned, but did not comment, instead handing it forward for others to take a look.

  "What? How is this possible?" All the experts who had seen Fangzi's work were shocked and stared at Su Nan, almost shouting out loud. This was clearly an act of revenge!

  "What's going on?" the expert who was ill asked. After being treated with acupuncture by Su Nan, he clearly felt his body recovering, although it was hard to accept at first, but also knew that what Su Nan said about traditional Chinese medicine indeed had its unique advantages. He just didn't want to directly admit that Su Nan's medical skills were superb.

  While talking, he took the square thing into his hand.

  Bai Tong Jia Zhu Gan Jiang Tang: Scallion white 4 stems, dry ginger 3g, Fuzi 10g (raw), human urine 15ml, pig bile 3ml. With water 600ml, decoct to take 200ml, remove sediment, add bile and human urine, serve warm in separate doses.

  "This... this... you want me to drink urine?" The expert's face turned pale again.
