Martial Arts Across the Heavens: Becoming a Martial God Starting from the Big Boss in Tangshan

Chapter 150 Big Brother, Don't Talk About Second Brother

These words from the Japanese were extremely harsh, even insulting.

This immediately drew laughter from the foreigners in the room.

Many doctors and scholars from China lowered their heads in shame and indignation, their faces flushed, yet they were powerless to refute them.

Because some of the refined ingredients listed by the other party are indeed recorded in traditional medical books.

Although it is not mainstream, it has become a pretext for the other party to attack.

Huang Feihong, listening to Sun Yat-sen's simultaneous translation, could no longer hold back.

Shaking with rage, he jumped to his feet and loudly retorted, "Nonsense! Traditional Chinese medicine uses natural ingredients, and its methods of combining herbs follow specific principles!"

"It's not as bad as you make it out to be!"

But his voice was drowned out by even louder laughter and chatter.

Sun Yat-sen's face also turned ashen.

Although he studied Western medicine, he could not tolerate the trampling and stigmatization of traditional Chinese medicine.

Amidst the noise.

Chen Wen remained standing on the stage, his expression unchanged, calmly pressing the Japanese man for answers: "Oh? According to you, eating strange things and using barbaric methods is backward medicine."

"Then, if the patient has a fever, I will cut open his blood vessels to treat him. If the patient is weak, I will grind the thousand-year-old dried corpse into powder and give it to him to take."

"Excuse me, what kind of doctor is this?"

Without a second thought, the Japanese man immediately laughed loudly, "Hahaha! Look! This is the barbarity and backwardness of your traditional Chinese medicine! Utterly foolish!"

He thought Chen Wen was giving examples to illustrate the absurdity of traditional Chinese medicine, and laughed even more unrestrainedly.

however.

He laughed for a while, but then realized something was wrong.

The Western doctors in the hall were completely silent at that moment.

Many people looked embarrassed, awkward, or even a little annoyed, and did not join in his laughter.

Huang Feihong was also stunned, frowning and muttering, "Bloodletting? Dried corpse powder? This—this isn't the way traditional Chinese medicine works! I've never heard of traditional Chinese medicine using medicine like this."

Sun Wen, who was standing next to him, suddenly burst out laughing, his expression extremely strange.

He quickly explained to Wong Fei-hung, "Master Wong, what Mr. Chen is saying is not traditional Chinese medicine."

"Bloodletting, eating mummy powder, and even using mercury to treat illnesses are all mainstream treatments in traditional Western medicine that have been used for thousands of years!"

"It was still widely used until decades ago!"

"There was another king who died from being bled to death after suffering a minor illness! Mr. Chen, you're exposing their past!"

Wong Fei-hung was stunned, and after a long while, he murmured, "Good heavens—so their ancestors were this wild too?"

"That's really true, elder brother, don't talk about second brother—"

He immediately felt the frustration in his chest dissipate considerably, and even felt a little like laughing.

The Japanese also sensed that something was wrong, especially the unpleasant looks on the Westerners' faces, and realized that they might have made a fool of themselves.

But he persisted, trying to shift the focus: "That—that doesn't count! That's outdated stuff! Modern Western medicine has long since abandoned it!"

"We Western medicine has advanced surgical techniques and meticulous human anatomy. Does traditional Chinese medicine have those? You don't even understand human anatomy!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Wen's smile deepened, and he said unhurriedly, "Human anatomy? Surgery? You seem to know nothing about the history of medicine in our country."

"As early as seven hundred years ago, the medical books of the Song Dynasty in my country, such as Shiyi Dexiaofang and Yonglei Qianfang, already recorded complete illustrations of surgical instruments, covering all categories."

"In the early Ming Dynasty, the famous physician Xia Huan designed and manufactured a complete set of sophisticated surgical instruments."

"You say that traditional Chinese medicine practitioners are not good at surgery and don't understand anatomy?"

A buzz of discussion arose among the Westerners, many of them with expressions of surprise and disbelief.

I never imagined that Chinese medicine has such a long history!

The Japanese man's face flushed red and then turned pale, and he still tried to argue, "You—the person you're talking about, the book you're talking about, I've never even heard of them! Who knows if it's true or false!"

It wasn't just him.

Even many Chinese doctors in the audience looked bewildered and somewhat embarrassed at this moment.

Having practiced medicine for many years, they were also unfamiliar with the specific classics and figures mentioned by Chen Wen.

Seeing their reactions, Chen Wen sighed softly: "Just because you don't know it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Fine, let me tell you one that everyone knows."

He paused, then his voice carried clearly throughout the hall: "To undergo bone-scraping treatment."

These four words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake!

All the Chinese doctors, and even some foreigners who understood Chinese culture, were suddenly stunned, and then their faces quickly lit up with joy and excitement!

Oh right! How could I forget that!

Hua Tuo, the legendary physician of the Three Kingdoms period, performed bone-scraping surgery on Guan Yu to remove poison!

Isn't this the most classic and well-known surgical case?!

There's also Mafeisan, invented by Hua Tuo, which was the earliest anesthetic!

Our ancestors accomplished this nearly two thousand years ago!

Our ancestors were truly amazing!

After the initial euphoria, a deeper sense of confusion and loss quietly surfaced in the hearts of many Chinese medical professionals.

Since our ancestors were so amazing.

Why is it that our generation is so humble?

Many people themselves are unaware of the achievements of their ancestors. Why is that?

Huang Feihong and Sun Yat-sen were particularly shaken.

Sun Yat-sen couldn't help but lower his voice and curse through gritted teeth, "Damn Tartars! They've ruined China!"

Upon hearing these words, Huang Feihong's last trace of doubt vanished.

It was definitively confirmed that Sun Yat-sen was a kindred spirit.

His heart was also filled with turmoil, because this wasn't the first time he had heard similar words.

Looking at Sun Wen's indignant and heartbroken expression, he suddenly remembered what Chen Wen had once said, and asked, "Mr. Sun, do you know anything about cameras?"

Sun Yat-sen was taken aback, not understanding why he suddenly asked this: "Of course I know. But this has nothing to do with—"

Huang Feihong immediately said, "The principle of a camera, pinhole imaging, was first discovered and recorded by our ancestor, Mozi!"

"What?!" Sun Wen's eyes widened suddenly, his face full of disbelief.

This quickly turned into deeper sorrow and anger.

"The Mohist school—pinhole imaging—we were the first to discover it?! These—these foolish worms who have misled the country and harmed the people! How many good things have they destroyed?!"

The two were talking in hushed tones.

On the stage.

Chen Wen's words also helped many foreigners understand the meaning of "scraping the bone to treat the injury" through translation.

Each of them looked shocked.

But some people were still unwilling to give up, and raised their voices to ask, "Mr. Chen, according to you, you acknowledge yourself as a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine?"

Chen Wen shook his head.

The entire room fell silent, and everyone looked at him with confusion.

Chen Wen picked up the microphone, his voice steady and clear, echoing through the quiet hall: "Whether it's traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, I never consider myself to be either one."

"I'm just a doctor. All I've learned and use is medical skill."

Traditional Chinese medicine relies on observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation, and uses herbs, plants, and minerals. Western medicine uses chemical extraction. Both have inherited wisdom, but also have the dross left by historical limitations.

"Medical skills should not be divided into East and West, or Chinese and barbarians."

"What we need to do is abandon prejudice, remove our biases, and bring out everything that is truly useful."

"Whether it's from the East or the West, whether it's an ancient prescription or the latest synthetic method."

"Take the essence and discard the dross. Use the most objective indicators and the most effective methods to treat patients."

"If you absolutely have to ask me whether I'm Chinese or Western—"

He paused, his gaze sweeping across the room: "What I know is modern medicine; I'm a modern doctor!"

silence.

Then, whoosh!

The applause erupted like a flood bursting its banks!

At first, they were sporadic, but then they quickly merged into a chorus, growing louder and more intense!

Whether it was the foreigners who had previously raised doubts or the excited Chinese doctors, many people spontaneously stood up and applauded vigorously!

Wong Fei-hung and Sun Yat-sen clapped their hands vigorously, their hearts pounding with emotion.

Huang Feihong recalled his past rejection of Western things, but how he gradually became more open-minded under Chen Wen's influence, and now he understood even more what it meant to be inclusive.

Sun Yat-sen was extremely excited.

He identifies more with the East.

However, the knowledge he learned and the content he saw clearly told him that the West was better.

This intense conflict left him in constant pain and confusion.

Now, he finally understood.

Why be so fixated on learning from the East or the West?

If it's right and good, we should use it!

Mozi discovered the principle, foreigners invented the camera, and the world shared the benefits—this is the right way!

This applies to medicine, science, and everything in the world!

Just as the applause erupted and the atmosphere reached its peak.

Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!

Suddenly, a series of whooshing sounds erupted!

Immediately afterwards, rockets smashed through the glass and roared into the venue!

Boom! Crash!

Some rockets were nailed to wooden chairs and ignited instantly, some hit chandeliers and shattered the glass, and some directly hit people who didn't have time to dodge!

"what!"

"Fire!"

"What's going on?!"

Exclamations, screams, the sound of shattering glass, and the sound of things collapsing instantly replaced applause.

The venue instantly descended into chaos!

People fled in terror, pushing and shoving each other, and thick smoke began to billow.

at the same time.

A unified and enthusiastic shout could be heard from afar outside the venue!

"A white lotus descends to earth, bringing liberation to all! Drive out the foreigners, and share in peace!"
