Crucian Carp Frost for Tooth Extraction

Thanks to Yang Tianzheng's mediation, the Daoist Master Xiao Yang at least showed some leniency and let Su Ziyang off the hook.

"Kid, you tried to get revenge on your master by letting the air out of my tires. Well, your cleverness backfired, didn't it? Hahaha!"

Yang Tianzheng chuckled and put his arm around Su Ziyang as they walked out, "Come on, Old Daoist Master Xiao helped me contact a testing agency. Let's go take a look."

Seeing that his little bit of wisdom wouldn't work on his master, Su Ziyang could only follow Yang Tianzheng the subway to the testing agency.

The test results came back quickly: the grayish-white powder contained a small amount of arsenic, or arsenic trioxide.

Upon hearing this result, Su Ziyang frowned, then his eyes lit up. No wonder the old man had said that this thing couldn't be smelled.

In contrast to Su Ziyang's sudden clarity, Yang Tianzheng was deep in thought while holding the test report.

"How could this tooth extraction medication be associated with such a poison!?"

Yang Tianzheng seemed to be talking to himself, or perhaps asking Su Ziyang.

Su Ziyang suddenly raised his arm like a child. "Master, I know. If I tell you about this medicine, could you give me two days off?"

"Huh?" Yang Tianzheng looked at Su Ziyang in surprise. "Okay, if you can give me a straight answer, I'll be merciful and give you two days off."

"Don't just say one, two, three, I can say four, five, six too."

Unable to resist Yang Tianzheng's arrogance, Su Ziyang proudly told him what he knew.

It turns out that after the incident involving Zhang Guozhou, Yang Jinguang, and others, Su Ziyang bought a book related to itinerant doctors who roam the streets.

The book, titled "Chuanya," is a collection of folk medicine monographs compiled by Zhao Xuemin, a famous medical scientist of the Qing Dynasty. It combines the medical experience of itinerant doctor Zhao Baiyun with his own years of collection and clinical data.

Su Ziyang only flipped through a few pages at the time and did not read the whole book. Firstly, the tasks given by his masters were too heavy. Secondly, Su Ziyang felt that the book was mostly composed of prescriptions and could be used as a reference book, but it did not form a diagnostic system. Moreover, some of the drugs were now rare and prohibited. Therefore, Su Ziyang did not finish reading the whole book.

But then, thinking about the tooth extraction and the fact that the white powder contained arsenic, Su Ziyang suddenly remembered a prescription he had seen in the book "Chuanya".

This prescription is called "Crucian Carp Frost for Tooth Extraction," and it is a medicine specifically used for tooth extraction.

How is it made?

Take a large crucian carp, remove its intestines and internal organs, put arsenic into the fish's belly, let it dry, and then place the fish in a cool, shady place. Once white frost appears on the fish, scrape it off and store it in a bottle for later use. The ratio of fish to arsenic is one mace of arsenic for every ounce of fish; do not use too much!

When it's time to extract the tooth, first use a needle to scrape the root area clean, then use the needle tip to apply a tiny bit of the white frost, and cough forcefully to make the tooth fall out naturally.

Alternatively, you can put a small amount of powder onto a small plaster, apply it to the cavity, and the cavity will fall off after a while.

There is another method to make Crucian Carp Frost: take a live male crucian carp, about four or five ounces, and six mace of white arsenic, and grind them into powder.

Put arsenic powder into the fish's belly. After the fish has rotted, wash the fish bones, dry them, and grind them into powder. Each time, take a piece the size of a millet grain and place it at the root of the tooth. When you cough, the tooth will fall out naturally.

After hearing Su Ziyang finish speaking, Yang Tianzheng stared wide-eyed, unable to calm down for a long time.

"Ah, no wonder Sage Kong said that among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me. Alright, young man. I'll give you a few days off right away!"

Su Ziyang's explanation convinced his master Yang Tianzheng. Yang Tianzheng had always liked Su Ziyang and thought this disciple was a talented person. After today's incident, Yang Tianzheng felt that Su Ziyang Su Ziyang was a promising talent and liked him even more.

When Yang Tianzheng said he was on holiday, he really meant it. Su Ziyang hadn't seen Yang Tianzheng for over a week.

When Su Ziyang saw Yang Tianzheng again, Yang Tianzheng handed him a small bottle containing a little white powder.

"This is?"

Su Ziyang shook the powder in the bottle.

"Crucian Carp Frost, is it something I made? Would you like to try it? Do you still have any wisdom teeth?!"

Yang Tianzheng looked at Su Ziyang with a wicked grin, his expression one of eager anticipation.

"Stop! I said stop. My teeth are perfectly fine. Can you do something that will make me feel like you're truly a good mentor to me?"

Su Ziyang quickly stuffed the medicine back into Yang Tianzheng's hand, then subconsciously hid to the side.

"Just kidding. Can I borrow your Chuanya '?"

Yang Tianzheng burst into laughter when he saw Su Ziyang's helpless yet frightened expression, and then started asking Su Ziyang to lend him books.

Seeing Yang Tianzheng's smirking face, Su Ziyang reluctantly took a book out of the bookcase and handed it to Yang Tianzheng.

Yang Tianzheng walked away happily, holding the book as if it were a priceless treasure.

Su Ziyang was given another three days off. When Su Ziyang saw Yang Tianzheng appear in the clinic again, Yang Tianzheng carrying a bag.

Su Ziyang heard the clattering sound of bottles and jars colliding inside the pocket.

Yang Tianzheng put the bag on the table and began to take out the bottles and jars from the bag.

Bottles and jars piled up on Su Ziyang's consultation table, and then Yang Tianzheng began to explain to Su Ziyang what was in these bottles and jars.

"This is a fine powder made from ground lycium bark and safflower, mixed with water, and applied to the corn to treat it."

"This is Zhuge's Marching Powder, made with ephedra powder, mung bean powder, and licorice powder, used to induce sweating..."

"This..."

"This..."

Linlin more than a dozen bottles and jars, all made using recipes from Chuanya Li.

Su Ziyang's head was spinning from looking at all these things. Su Ziyang's helpless look went unnoticed by the excited Yang Tianzheng Yang Tianzheng, who continued to talk incessantly about Su Ziyang various research and inventions.

"Master, what's the point of making so much of this? This ointment that makes you bald when you apply it to your head, who are you going to use it on? Modern people don't even have time to grow their hair back, and you've made a bottle of ointment that makes hair fall out when you apply it to your head..."

Su Ziyang sighed and asked, holding the bottle of ointment that Yang Tianzheng had just placed on the table.

Hearing Su Ziyang's words, Yang Tianzheng suddenly paused for a moment, then scratched his head and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Hehe, I was so excited when I read your book that I made it without thinking too much about it. Yeah, yeah, this thing isn't very practical. I won't make it again."

As Yang Tianzheng spoke, he put the medicine bottle back and then continued to introduce other medicine bottles to Su Ziyang.

Su Ziyang didn't really want to listen, but he was afraid that Yang Tianzheng would use lethal force during training that night, so Su Ziyang could only accompany his master in doing childish things.

It was working hours after all, and finally Su Ziyang's savior arrived: a patient seeking medical treatment.

Seeing that a patient had arrived, Yang Tianzheng didn't want to show off to Su Ziyang anymore, so he quickly put away the bottles and jars, picked up his bag, and hurried away.

The person who came was a girl, who looked to be about the same age as Su Ziyang.

After examining the girl who had entered the room, Su Ziyang noticed that she was pale, especially her lips, which were almost bloodless. Su Ziyang concluded that she was suffering from anemia and weakness.

So Su Ziyang quickly invited the girl to sit down and talk.

Hello, doctor.

The girl spoke very softly, indicating that she was deficient in both qi and blood.

"Hi. Take a break before you speak, no rush!"

The girl not only looked weak, but she also seemed a little nervous when talking to Su Ziyang.

"Doctor, doesn't your clinic have a single female doctor?"

After the girl sat down, she didn't ask about medical treatment or anything like that; instead, she asked about other things.

"Hold head high..."

Indeed, this Daoist Medicine Clinic is staffed entirely by male doctors. When Su Ziyang first arrived, there was a female Daoist priest making house calls, but she left not long after, saying she was going to make house calls elsewhere.

Since then, Su Ziyang has never seen a female doctor at this Daoist Medicine Clinic.

"Ah, we really don't have any female doctors around here. Please feel free to ask me anything; we don't shy away from medical help, and I'll do my best to help you."

Su Ziyang spoke very softly. Hearing Su Ziyang say this, the girl's tension eased somewhat, and she whispered, "Doctor, I've been bleeding for over two weeks..."

The girl seemed a little embarrassed as she spoke. Su Ziyang looked at her blushing face and was suddenly a little surprised. In this era of Western influence and increasing sexual openness, where girls treat dating and hotel rooms as a game, there are still girls who blush when talking about their sexual health conditions!

Seeing the girl's blushing face, Su Ziyang gestured for her to relax and place her hand on the pulse diagnosis kit, indicating that she didn't need to say anything more. Then, Su Ziyang began to take the girl's pulse.

The girl's pulse was very weak overall, which could be considered a weak pulse, and this is consistent with the symptoms of bleeding in girls.

The only strange thing is that this girl's pulse is weak overall, but the pulses at the cun and guan positions of both hands are relatively strong and powerful. Of course, this strong and powerful pulse is not a true strong and powerful pulse, but rather a pulse relative to the pulses at the cun and guan positions of this girl.

"You're still bleeding, and quite a lot, right?"

Su Ziyang withdrew his finger and began to question the girl, who nodded without saying a word.

"Well, I need to ask about the cause of your illness. Did it suddenly appear? Or was there any obvious trigger, like getting angry or falling down?"

When Su Ziyang asked this, the girl was clearly unsure how to answer. She hesitated and whispered, "Doctor, I looked it up online, and people say this is called metrorrhagia. Just prescribe some medicine for metrorrhagia, that'll be fine."

It's true that with the advancement of information technology, people are no longer as isolated from information as before, but this has also led to problems in understanding some information.

"Yes, I know you've looked it up online. What you have does qualify as metrorrhagia, but there are many causes of metrorrhagia, you understand? We need to treat the root cause so it can heal faster!"

Seeing the bewildered girl, Su Ziyang patiently explained things to her.

"Ah! Are there many reasons for this? Is it just bleeding or metrorrhagia? Do I have to tell you the reason?"

The girl pinched the hem of her clothes and pursed her lips as she asked.

Looking at the girl, Su Ziyang seemed to have a guess in his mind.
