Fang Qiu pushed the door open and entered the room.
What came into sight was a very wide and peculiar-decorated room.
There were six chairs and five tables in this room.
Five sets of tables and chairs were placed in five directions as if they were set up like an Eight-Diagram Formation. There was one person sitting in front of each set of tables and chairs.
In the center of the room, there was an empty chair, which was obviously prepared for Fang Qiu.
Seeing this kind of decoration, Fang Qiu suddenly felt a lot of pressure!
No wonder people said that the examination of doctor of brightness was so difficult. Judging from the way of this examination, ordinary people weren’t able to take it.
This kind of arrangement was like a trial for criminals.
The people sitting in the center would inevitably feel as if they were sitting nakedly in front of everyone.
Then he looked at the five people in the room.
The first one, wearing casual clothes and glasses, looked like a professor. However, he looked a little younger than others. There was a name card on his table with “Liu Ye” on it.
The second person, named He Tiancheng, was wearing a formal suit with a solemn look.
The third one was named Li Jinjun. He was a skinny man, who looked thin and also serious.
The fourth man, named Bao Chengying, was quite handsome with his slicked-back hair.
The fifth person was named Zhong Yiyang. He was a little fat and his face was amiable. But at this moment, he also looked serious.
Fang Qiu took a look at the five of them and bowed. “Good morning, teachers.”
Zhong Yiyang nodded and said, “Em. Take your seat.”
Fang Qiu immediately stepped forward and sat on the empty chair in the center.
After Fang Qiu took his seat, Zhong Yiyang asked, “Do you know the rules of the examination of doctor of brightness?”
Fang Qiu nodded and said, “Yes. I need to recite at least three manuals and complete the test of the questions given by five teachers at the same time.”
The five of them nodded.
Liu Ye asked, “The examination of doctor of brightness will be very difficult and strict. Do you have confidence?”
Fang Qiu turned to Liu Ye and answered, “Yes.”
Li Jinjun nodded with satisfaction. “Good.”
Fang Qiu hurriedly turned to look at him.
He didn’t know if the five people did it on purpose. They always took turns to say a sentence, which caused Fang Qiu to turn around constantly every time someone said a word to him.
“Before you came, we have already made up our minds about the three books.” Zhong Yiyang said, “The first one is the Secret Book of Orchid Chamber. The second one is Differentiation on Endogenous and Exogenous Diseases. The third one is the Treatise on the Spleen and Stomach.
“Now, let the test begin.”
Without any hesitation, Fang Qiu immediately began to recite the books.
“The Secret Book of Orchid Chamber…” With the focus of the five doctors of brightness, Fang Qiu recited it word by word.
He continued to recite the second chapter after finishing the first one.
In the end, he recited the first book without missing a word.
The most important thing was that Fang Qiu didn’t pause at all while reciting.
When Fang Qiu was reciting the second one, Liu Ye suddenly said, “Stop. I need to use the washroom.”
After that, he went out.
Three minutes later, Liu Ye returned and let Fang Qiu continue.
It turned out that Fang Qiu could still recite it word by word.
Fang Qiu knew this was definitely not an accident. How could there be a teacher who did not prepare before the exam? At least, he should have gone to the washroom first. Therefore, he would not need to urinate in a short time. If he really did, then this person must be sick.
Obviously, it was one of the contents of the examination. The purpose of it was to see if Fang Qiu could still recite it after the interruption so as to confirm that he didn’t simply swot up.
As Fang Qiu was about to recite to the end of the second book. “Stop.”
He Tiancheng, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly stopped him and said, “You’ve been reciting for such a long time. You must be thirsty. Come on, drink some water.”
As he spoke, he stood up deliberately, took out a bottle of mineral water, and handed it to Fang Qiu.
“Thank you.” Fang Qiu smiled and took it over. He opened the cap and took a sip.
When Fang Qiu was about to return to his seat, He Tiancheng suddenly turned his head and asked curiously, “I heard that you are Xu Miaolin’s disciple.”
“No, I’m not his disciple,” Fang Qiu shook his head and said. “I’m just his student. Mr. Xu didn’t take me as his disciple.”
“Oh.” He Tiancheng nodded with understanding and then stepped back.
The moment he sat down, he immediately said, “You may continue.”
Fang Qiu immediately nodded and continued to recite.
This time, the five doctors of brightness were all shocked.
After being interrupted several times in a row, Fang Qiu wasn’t affected at all. He didn’t even need to think about it and directly continued reciting.
That was amazing!
It was unbelievably coherent.
Everyone was impressed by Fang Qiu.
Fang Qiu continued to recite before the most difficult chapter of the third book was done.
“Dee-dee-dee-dee…” A cell phone rang all of a sudden.
“Wait.” Zhong Yiyang reached out his hand to signal Fang Qiu to stop. Then he took out his mobile phone and answered it. He talked with the person on the other end of the line for about five minutes, and he talked about traditional Chinese Medicine, medical skills, and so on. He also talked about some familiar sentences in other ancient medical books, trying to disturb Fang Qiu’s memory.
The other four doctors laughed secretly.
This was the most ruthless move they had prepared.
If it were other people who took the exam, they would definitely not use this trick, because this trick could easily lead them astray. But since it was Fang Qiu, there was no need to worry about it.
Five minutes later, after hanging up the phone, Zhong Yiyang raised his hand to Fang Qiu and said, “Well, you can continue.”
As he heard that, Fang Qiu continued to recite.
The five of them couldn’t help marveling at it.
“Is this boy a repeater?”
“He has been interrupted so many times, but he can still pick it up every time. It’s like pressing the pause button of the repeater.”
While the examiners were in shock, Fang Qiu still kept a steady speed and recited all the three books word by word.
After hearing his recitation, the five doctors nodded.
Zhong Yiyang opened his mouth. “You have a good memory. You’ve already passed half of this round.”
Fang Qiu was stunned.
He had finished reciting all three books. How come he had only passed half of this round?
“Next, let’s take a random reciting test.”
Seeing that Fang Qiu was confused, Zhong Yiyang said, “Next, we will choose a section of one book in the Earth-replenishing Field. You will need to continue the section and tell us which book it is.”
Fang Qiu nodded. “Okay.”
Zhong Yiyang then gave the question, “The redness is caused by the heat in the intestines.”
“As for the whiteness, the heat goes into the large intestine. It is warm and humid and stagnates in the pulse, so the leukorrhea’s color is both red and white…”
Fang Qiu finished the sentence. After quickly reciting a paragraph, he added, “This paragraph is from Keys of Living.”
Zhong Yiyang nodded with satisfaction. “That’s right.”
At this time, Liu Ye gave the question. “Yellow Emperor’s Acupuncture · Chapter of the Five Chaos: A person will get annoyed if distracted by Qi.”
“He feels tense inside and his hands are held together. If the person’s Qi gathers in the heart, we should cure the Heart Meridian of Hand-Jueyin…”
Fang Qiu replied, recited without missing a word, and said, “This paragraph is from the dysphoria heat theory in Dongyuan Tries Prescription.”
He Tiancheng also gave his question, “Complement can cure the weak. Go on.”
“Complement can cure the weak. Ginseng and lamb meat would be the best choice. The heat of ginseng can improve the weakness of Qi. And the mutton is warm enough to replenish the blood. The mutton is tangible and can make up the muscles’ energy. A person can take it if the scent is the same as that of ginseng and mutton. Therefore, this is also…”
Fang Qiu finished reciting and said, “This paragraph is from Medical Invention.”
Upon hearing that, the five examiners looked at each other, nodded, and said at the same time, “Pass.”
Fang Qiu smiled.
“Next, let’s begin the second round of the examination.” Zhong Yiyang stood up and said to Fang Qiu, “Come on, let’s go somewhere else.”
Fang Qiu got up to follow him.
He walked out of the room.
Led by the five people, Fang Qiu soon came to a clinic located in the Chinese Medicine Association.
“You’re going to see patients here in the second round of the examination,” Zhong Yi Yang opened his mouth and said. “During this period, you must use the methods of the Earth-replenishing Field to treat patients. There are a total of 25 patients who take part in the examination this time. You only need to give prescriptions. You don’t need to get medicine, decoct medicinal herbs, ask the patient to drink it like what you did in the examination of craftsman doctor. These basic things have been tested during the examination of craftsman doctor, so you don’t need to do it again.”
Fang Qiu immediately nodded. “Okay.”
Zhong Yiyang continued to say, “Besides, after you give the prescription, the five of us will see the prescription you wrote and then make a series of specific questions to judge your level. Do you understand?”
“Understood,” Fang Qiu answered very quickly, but he was amazed in the heart.
No wonder this was an examination of doctor of brightness. They got 25 patients for a round.
Let’s put aside the other things.
If a person could cure all the 25 patients, he must have a profound understanding of this field.
“Get ready for the test. It’s about to begin.” After reminding Fang Qiu, Zhong Yiyang turned around, walked to the five wooden chairs against the wall, and sat down on one of them.
So did the other four people.
Fang Qiu took a glance and found that this clinic was quite similar to Feng Xuexin’s clinic.
The medicine cabinet was on the right, and the passage to the backyard was next to the medicine cabinet. The clinic table was placed on the left side and was a certain distance away from the medicine cabinet.
Five doctors of brightness were sitting in front of the medicine cabinet at this time.
Zhong Yiyang asked, “Are you ready?”
“We can start at any time,” Fang Qiu said as he sat down.
Zhong Yiyang nodded and said, “Okay, then let’s begin!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a patient immediately came in.
It was a middle-aged man in his forties.
As he entered the clinic and saw Fang Qiu sitting at the consultation desk, the middle-aged man was stunned at once!
Without any scruples, the middle-aged man pointed at Fang Qiu and said, “He’s so young.”
He was also a volunteer who was recruited here.
Why did he want to come? Because he really wanted to be cured and didn’t want to be deceived!
At that time, he heard that there were five very powerful doctors of Chinese Medicine present, so he took the initiative to be a volunteer. But there was no powerful doctor coming to see him. It was a young boy sitting at the consultation table.
Could such a young boy cure him?
The middle-aged man hesitated and turned to look at the five doctors of brightness sitting on the side.
“Don’t worry.” Zhong Yiyang quickly stood up and explained, “This is the Chinese Medicine Association. Everyone who comes here for the examination has a remarkable level of medical skills. You don’t have to worry about it at all.”
“But, he’s still too young.” The middle-aged man was still hesitating.
Zhong Yiyang continued to persuade him, “Look, aren’t the five of us all here? When he gives you the prescription of your illness, the five of us will carefully check it for you. There will never be any mistakes.”
