Chapter 90: A Single Cry That Shocks Heaven!

  The conference kicked off with a performance of Tai Chi and Tai Chi fan. Dr. Liu Zhendong, Secretary-General of the Chinese Medicine Association, and Vice-President Ming Yu presided over the meeting, while Executive Vice-President Fan Lei introduced the guests to everyone.

  The annual TCM conference is still quite valued by the country.

  Not only were renowned Chinese medicine experts and scholars from all over the world invited, but also Jiang Shanshui, president of the Chinese Medicine Association, and Cai Gongmin, a deputy minister of the Ministry of Health, attended the meeting.

  Jiang Shanshui was a tall and thin middle-aged man, wearing a suit with a dark-colored tie, giving people a very serious feeling. Cai Gongmin and Qin Luo were also wearing dark blue long gowns. Only his style seemed a bit older. With short hair and a full face of English spirit, he gave people an awe-inspiring feeling without being angry.

  Apart from Jiang Shanshui and Cai Gongmin sitting in the front row of the rostrum, Wang Xiushen, the "King of Acupuncture" who was quite famous in Yanjing, and Gu Baixian, a master of bone-setting, also had the qualifications to sit on the rostrum. This made Qin Luo reevaluate the status of these old men in the field of traditional Chinese medicine once again.

  The chief editor of "Huaxia Traditional Chinese Medicine" He Jitian also sat on the rostrum, and some representatives of traditional Chinese medicine colleges were also seated on the rostrum, but Qin Luo didn't know most of them.

  After the host announced the start of the meeting, Vice Minister Cai Gongmin delivered a speech. Cai Gongmin's speech was brief and concise, with distinct characteristics. It left a very good impression on Qin Luo. This is a pragmatic leader, who may have the opportunity to interact in the future.

  Jiang Shanshui's speech was dull and uninteresting, reading from a prepared script with his head down, completely ignoring the impatient mood of the audience below.

  He Jitian also spoke on behalf of the media and wished the conference a complete success.

  Then came the speeches of the representatives at the meeting.

  First to take the stage was an old professor from a college of traditional Chinese medicine, who brought everyone "The Dialectical Relationship between Traditional Chinese Medicine and Philosophy".

  The old professor obviously attached great importance to this conference, and the prepared speech was also very sufficient. He read through more than a dozen pages of his speech in one breath, and when he finished speaking, it had actually taken twenty minutes.

  This made the conference organizers quite depressed. Clearly, a five-minute speaking time was specified, but how did this old man read for so long?

  The next speaker was still a teacher of traditional Chinese medicine, and the theme of his speech was "The Close Relationship Between the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams and Traditional Chinese Medicine". Although the views he put forward were novel and interesting, however, such a topic still couldn't arouse Qin Luo's slightest interest.

  Next on stage was an old man Qin Luo had just met, Luoyang Wushi Chong. His speech theme was "On the Holistic Concept and Dialectical Treatment of Acupuncture Clinical Practice", in which he profoundly and lucidly discussed several major topics including the holistic concept of acupuncture clinical practice, dialectics in acupuncture clinical practice, and treatment in acupuncture clinical practice.

  Words have objects, theory and practice are combined. Win a round of applause. This also gives Qin Luo, a Chinese medicine practitioner from a humble background, much inspiration.

  The following speech fell into theoretical and ideological, and an old professor wrote a speech in ancient prose: Man is endowed by heaven above and entrusted to the earth below, assisted by yin. When heaven and earth are in harmony, human energy is peaceful; when heaven and earth are against each other, human energy is blocked.

  Qin Luo didn't know what others felt, but after hearing it, he was so humiliated that he almost died.

  This made him realize how pathetic it was that he hadn't gone on to higher education. He couldn't even understand human language anymore.

  Qin Luo's unfriendly colleague, Mr. Zhu from the Traditional Chinese Medicine College, was speaking on stage when Qin Luo had already been tormented by this group of fierce people to the point of drowsiness.

  Originally because of Lin Xuanxi's indecent incident, he didn't sleep well last night, and today he was put to sleep by these noisy and boring speeches, his spirit really couldn't hold on.

  "Respected Minister Cai, Chairman Jiang, leaders present, colleagues, and everyone, good afternoon. I am Zhu Zixu from the School of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Capital Medical University, and my speech topic is 'The Inner Canon' and its close connection with our lives."

  "Let me die." Qin Luo closed his eyes in agony.

  Nor did he know when Teacher Zhu's speech ended, nor did he know how many people had spoken afterwards. Qin Luo had really entered deep sleep.

  "Now, please welcome Mr. Qin Luo, the representative of the expert group and the inheritor of Taiyi God Needle, to come on stage to give a speech."

  The host mechanically announced the next act, he was also half asleep.

  Although he works in the traditional Chinese medicine industry, it does not mean that he likes traditional Chinese medicine.

  So after listening to those dull and tedious speeches for a long time, he also lost some patience.

  Originally thought he would be like the person in front, reporting and then the person on stage would read a prepared script, either long or short. Then next one

  But this time after he dropped the curtain, a loud noise suddenly erupted from below.

  "Is Taiyi Shenni passing on his skills? Is it true or false?"

  "Just a few days ago, I saw in the newspaper that Taiyi Shennan had passed on his skills to a human, and I was thinking of visiting him soon. Who would have thought that we'd meet today?"

  "No, not good. Is the Taiyi divine needle so easy to learn? It's definitely an ignorant little person who has learned a few tricks and is using this name to intimidate people. You're all not newcomers, can't you understand such a simple truth?"

  Qin Luo took the stage at the most lively time when everyone was discussing, because everyone was engaged in discussion and whispering to each other, except for a small number of people, many people didn't even know when he stood on the podium.

  Qin Luo swept the room with a glance, a smile of arrogant confidence on his face, and said with a tone that was not surprising but deadly: "To be honest, I'm a bit regretful to have attended such a boring meeting."

  Wow!

  The whole audience was in an uproar.

  When everyone in the auditorium heard this sentence from the loudspeaker, almost no one dared to believe their ears.

  He Jitian tilted his head slightly and whispered to Wang Xiuren sitting next to him, "Wang Lao, what trick is your apprentice playing? Although I expected him to make a big splash, I didn't expect it to be this way. Things might get troublesome."

  Wang Xiuren looked at Qin Luo with a bitter smile, also somewhat unsure of his pulse. He didn't know why he would say something like that, was this really the content of his speech?

  However, until now, he still has an inexplicable trust in Qin Luo. Because he is very clear that Qin Luo is not the kind of person who would use language to attract attention.

  This time, the delegates present at the scene no longer concealed their true feelings. Excited, angry, contemptuous, expectant, sarcastic and gloating discussions about Qin Luo's speech erupted.

  Like a swarm of bees suddenly rushing into the venue, the whole scene was filled with buzzing sounds.

  The president of the Chinese Medicine Association, Jiang Shanshui, put down his teacup and said with a gloomy face: "He's speaking nonsense. Since he doesn't want to participate, then don't let him come in the future."

  The Deputy Minister of Health, Cai Gongmin, looked at Qin Luo with a thoughtful expression, his face waiting for his next words.

  "Even if you hold a meeting like this every day, 365 meetings a year. You people still can't save traditional Chinese medicine." Qin Luo bluntly did the bad thing to the lowest level, and his words were even more sharp and piercing.

  He finally offended all the representatives in the venue.

  "We can't save traditional Chinese medicine, can you?"

  "Ignorant kid, spouting nonsense. Don't know if he's just a quack."

  "Get off the stage. Let him get off the stage."

  The security guard standing at the door looked embarrassed, unsure whether he should go up and pull Qin Luo down from the stage.

  Because several key leaders on the rostrum did not utter a word or give any orders, they also had no choice but to stand still.

  Qin Luo waved his hand and said, "No need for you to invite me. I'll finish speaking in a few sentences and then get off the stage myself."

  Qin Luo turned his head to glance at the leaders on the rostrum, and said with a smile: "Traditional Chinese medicine is in decline, and it's urgent. We should work together to find ways to save traditional Chinese medicine. But what are you all doing?"

  "Talking nonsense, full of empty words. Cheating the public, plagiarizing from ancient people. Holding such a meeting is a complete waste of time. That guy who just spoke about 'On the Dialectical Relationship between Traditional Chinese Medicine and Philosophy', do we need to study this? Traditional Chinese medicine is on the verge of extinction, what's the point of studying this stuff?"

  "Some people say that traditional Chinese medicine is closely related to yin and yang, the five elements, but what's the point of having a connection? Traditional Chinese medicine is also connected to the origin of the universe, all things, and humanity, but can this really help promote and save traditional Chinese medicine? We professionals don't even understand it, let alone ordinary patients."

  "As for what Professor Zhu from the Capital Medical University's School of Traditional Chinese Medicine said about the close connection between the 'Inner Canon' and our lives, a small part of his speech was copied from the textbook 'Selections from the Inner Canon', while the majority was copied from various studies on the 'Inner Canon'. If you're interested, you can ask for his manuscript and you'll definitely be able to find the sources. And there's another old gentleman who spoke in classical Chinese, if I'm not mistaken, most of what he said at the beginning was borrowed from the 'Hua Tuo Jing'?"

  "If we want to listen to these, we can just go read books ourselves. We can look up information at the library. Is it necessary for us to spend money and time traveling from all over the country? It's not easy for taxpayers to make money."

  "Originally, traditional Chinese medicine was a simple thing, one cold and one hot, one cause and one effect. As long as you understand the rules, it's easy to learn. But what are you doing? You're making it complicated, making it profound. In the end, even you yourselves can't understand what you're talking about, how can you make the public understand? How can traditional Chinese medicine be popularized?"

  Qin Luo's sharp and incisive words pierced through the darkness of the academic world and the mistakes of the traditional Chinese medicine community, silencing the whispers and attacks from the audience. Everyone was stunned, their mouths agape in incredulity, staring blankly at the young man speaking eloquently on stage.

  How dare he say all these things?

  "Originally, the title of my prepared speech was 'The Twelve Elements of Acupuncture'. Now I have changed my mind. Today, my topic is 'Reflections on the Current State of Traditional Chinese Medicine and What We Should Do in the Future'".

  The Minister of Health, Cai, asked Jiang Shanshui, the president of the Chinese Medicine Association sitting next to him, "What is the name of the young man who just spoke?"

  "It seems to be called Qin Luo. The successor of the Taizhen Needle." Jiang Shanshui said, looking at the introduction on the speaker list. He was still slightly embarrassed in his heart, after all, he had just given him a "boastful" evaluation earlier. And now, the deputy minister asked about his name, obviously very optimistic about him.

  "Not bad. A young man with ideas." Cai Gongmin nodded and said.

  I extremely despise those bad guys who dress up as girls and add me on QQ.
