Chapter 27: The Old Man with a Dried-up Lamp (Seeking Recommendations and Clicks)

  Upon hearing Tang Zheng's words, Xiao Zhenhai and Xiao Zhenshan both let out a sigh of relief. Only, it wasn't very obvious.

  At the same time, Xiao Zhenhai also happily said: "Good, Little Tang, thank you for your words. Tonight, we will rush to Beijing overnight."

  "Xiao Tang, don't worry, I'll take care of the hospital side, I'll make arrangements and there won't be any trouble at all." Xiang Zhen Shan also spoke up.

  This kind of person, doing things and speaking, is undoubtedly very thorough. Tang Zheng nodded directly at this moment, without any hesitation. Since he had already agreed, there was no need to regret it. In life, at least some credibility is still necessary.

  Xiao's family was quick, after lunch, Xiao Zhenhai smiled and said: "Little Tang, do you have anything else to prepare?"

  "There's nothing else. I can set off at any time. With this, that's all." As he spoke, Tang Zheng patted the medical box beside him.

  Huang Yonghui gave this medical box to himself. This is his unique tool for treating the illness of Xiao's old master. Tang Zheng had also considered it. The experts and professors from major hospitals in Beijing and around the world were at a loss for what to do. Before seeing the patient's specific situation, Tang Zheng was not very confident either. However, his medical skills were all in his mind, and currently, the most useful one was this set of Jiu Yang wooden needles. The others didn't matter whether he took them or not.

  "That's great. Let's go now." Xiao Zhenhai was somewhat excited at this moment.

  It's not like Tang Zhen imagined, the Xiao family's power didn't have any special treatment. It's just that during airport security checks, compared to ordinary people, they seemed much faster and more relaxed. They went straight in through the exclusive VIP channel. Then, the entire first class cabin of the flight was booked out.

  This time in Beijing, apart from Xiao Zhenhai, Song Wenli and Xiao Xiao also followed. After more than an hour of flight, the plane landed at Beijing International Airport.

  As soon as I went out, the car waiting at the door came over. It was an ordinary Buick GL8 business vehicle. The car stopped in a deep alley on the side of Gongwangfu.

  An unassuming siheyuan. Once inside, it's a different world. The large four-section compound covers an area of over 4,000 square meters. Additionally, there is also a nearly 600-square-meter garden.

  Simple and elegant, yet exuding a subtle luxury. This also shocked Tang Zheng. This is the foundation of a noble family, completely different from the nouveau riche.

  Such a house, looking ordinary from the outside. The furniture and decorations inside are also very simple. However, the materials used are not comparable to those of ordinary luxury brands. Let's not mention the value of this courtyard. Even the antique furniture made of precious woods like redwood and Huanghuali in this house is not something that ordinary people can afford. This has nothing to do with money; even if you have the money, it's not necessarily something you can buy.

  As soon as he entered, Xiao Zhenhai smiled and said: "Xiao Tang, let's arrange for you to rest in the guest room first. After dinner, we'll talk about what to do next."

  For Tang Zheng, Xiao Zhenhai was very polite. Given Xiao Zhenhai's status, it wasn't necessary to be so courteous. However, that was an attitude and a sign of respect.

  The importance of Old Master Xiao to the Xiao family is self-evident. As long as Old Master Xiao is alive, even if he doesn't say a word, it's still a deterrent to other factions. It's like having nuclear weapons in a country - you don't need to use them, but they provide protection and deterrence nonetheless.

  Tang Zheng smiled and said: "Uncle Xiao, I think it's better to see the old man first. He rested well on the plane all the way here. There's no problem."

  Upon hearing Tang Zheng's words, Xiao Zhenhai naturally couldn't ask for more, and after being stunned for a moment, he immediately nodded and said: "Alright, alright, since young Tang has put it that way, then let's do it your way."

  Under Xiao Zhenhai's lead, in the wing room next to the garden in the inner courtyard, Tang Zheng finally saw the legendary old man.

  At this moment, the old man's face is withered and his eye sockets are sunken. Through his aura, one can even feel the death energy entwined around him.

  "Xiao Tang, the old master himself has a bit of heart problems, arteriosclerosis, and some mild Parkinson's disease in his brain. This time he got sick, experts from both the Military General Hospital and the Health Bureau carefully diagnosed him, and they all agree that the old master is experiencing physical functional decline, or as people say, 'the lamp has burned out'. This time, I've asked you to come over, specifically to bring the old master back home." Xiang Zhenhai explained the old master's condition by his side.

  Upon hearing this explanation, Tang Zheng was also very satisfied. The Xiao family's handling of matters was indeed flawless. They had thought of everything. If it were in the hospital, at his age, wanting to treat Lao Yezi would require a lot of effort. But now, that problem didn't exist anymore.

  He walked directly to Lao Ye Zi's side, sat down, and placed one hand on Lao Ye Zi's wrist, feeling his pulse. This was a test of medical skills.

  The mastery of pulse diagnosis, what is a slow pulse, what is a happy pulse, what is a fine pulse, etc., all require the doctor to have quite rich experience in medical skills.

  Traditional Chinese medicine is different from Western medicine. Western medicine has detailed data for comparison, such as the degree of fever; the severity of inflammation; and so on, all of which have standard data references.

  In the debate on medical skills, Western medicine is more inclined to materialism. Traditional Chinese medicine, however, tends more towards idealism. The virtual and real, the superficial and the internal, all have certain manifestations in pulse diagnosis.

  To be a good Western doctor, perhaps five or six years, ten years of study and practice can make one extremely outstanding. However, to be a good traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) doctor, it's not just about accumulating knowledge in theory, but also in experience. This is also the reason why TCM development has fallen into a bottleneck.

  In this flashy society, there are still a few young people who are willing to spend their whole lives studying and researching traditional Chinese medicine.

  But for Tang Zheng, this was not a problem. On the one hand, the inherited experience and knowledge made him no less than any old Chinese medicine doctor. On the other hand, due to the reason of Yinyang Heart Scripture, Tang Zheng's grasp of human body qi mechanism was unparalleled. Under these two factors, Tang Zheng had no problems with pulse diagnosis.

  The old man's pulse was very weak. The frequency of the pulse was also very slow. Next, after carefully examining the old man's body, Tang Zheng's face also sank.

  He stood up. Walking out of the room, Xiao Zhenhai also followed closely behind Tang Zheng and walked out, at this level of Xiao Zhenhai, who couldn't see the change in Tang Zheng's expression, and was worried: "Little Tang, Master's illness, is there no hope for treatment?"

  "Xiao Bo, to put it this way, the old master's physical condition is not an illness. The diagnosis of the health bureau's experts was quite good. The old master has simply undergone natural physical aging and decline, which is a natural replacement process for the body. Now, it has reached the point where the oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry." Tang Zheng said slowly.

  Although Tang Zheng had never encountered such a situation with Lao Ye, he had heard of it many times in the countryside. In rural areas, some elderly people who were over 90 or even 100 years old would suddenly pass away without any illness or pain. This was what they called natural death due to old age.

  Now, Xiao Lao Ye Zi is in this situation, after all, he is a 90-year-old man. If it weren't for his high position and having a team of doctors accompanying him for health care, it would have been impossible to drag on until now.

  "Is it hopeless then?" Xiang Zhenhai also looked somewhat disheartened at this moment. The importance of the old man to the Xiang family was self-evident. In fact, it could be said that whether the old man was present or not would affect whether Xiang Zhenhai could enter the Jiu Ding in the future.

  Seeing Xiao Zhenhai's dejected expression, Tang Zheng also felt a bit heavy in his heart. Although he didn't know why the Xiao brothers were being so cautious and serious, Tang Zheng could see it too - the importance of Old Master Xiao.

  Xiao Zhenhai and his brother, especially Xiao Zhen Shan and his wife, were indeed very good. At this moment, Tang Zheng was also thinking in his heart. The only way to solve this problem is to activate the body's function. Jiuyang wooden needle contains vital energy. It's not a problem. However, relying solely on the vital energy of the Jiuyang wooden needle is not enough.

  After a moment of contemplation, Tang Zheng slowly said: "Uncle Xiao, it's not that there's no way at all. However, regarding the medicinal materials... you must hurry up. Within seven days, if you can obtain the medicinal materials I need, perhaps we can still try. But I only have about 50% confidence."

  Words can't be taken back, this is a principle that Tang Zheng still understands. In fact, saying seven days' time, Tang Zheng also took an extremely great risk. Within these seven days, Tang Zheng had to consume his own true energy to maintain the old man's body. Otherwise, let alone seven days, even three days would be enough.

  As soon as he heard this, Xiao Zhenhai was excited and nodded directly without any consideration: "Good, what medicine is needed, Little Tang, just say it."

  "Fresh purple river car, and best of all, hermaphroditic; hundred-year-old mountain ginseng, and also astragalus, dioscorea, rehmannia and turtle shell." After a moment's thought, according to the inherited knowledge in his mind, Tang Zheng came up with a relatively simple prescription.

  The above medicinal materials, the last four, are actually quite simple and not hard to find. Hundred-year-old mountain ginseng. For the Xiao family, it's also not particularly troublesome. However, for the first one, Xiao Zhenhai was confused. Fresh purple river cartilage, must be both male and female? What kind of medicinal material is this?

  After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Zhenhai spoke up: "Little Tang, about the ones in the back... Although it's a bit troublesome to get the old mountain ginseng, I believe that with some connections and a few days' time, there shouldn't be too much of a problem. But what is this hermaphroditic Purple River Chariot?"

  Tang Zheng smiled and said, "The Purple River Chariot refers to the placenta of a baby. As for the meaning of male and female in the same body, it means that the best is the placenta of a dragon and phoenix fetus, and this dragon and phoenix fetus must be monozygotic twins."
