154: The Way of Heaven and the Way of Man

Qin Jiang also fell silent after seeing the report Zou Moli handed him.

Is this what Young Men are like?

This is too terrifying.

Especially when Qin Jiang saw the amount of bleeding, he immediately realized that even though Cui Guang was bleeding, Yuan Yan still didn't let him off.

No wonder Cui Guang ran over to beg Dr. Qin to save him; Yuan Yan's condition was already very serious.

Seeing Qin Jiang looking at the report without speaking, Yuan Yan couldn't help but ask, "Dr. Qin, I should be fine, right?"

"I've never messed around; I'm very self-disciplined. I can't possibly have any disease, can I?"

Qin Jiang cleared his throat, held the report, and said,

"Your problem isn't a big one; it's just a small tear down there. What you need to pay attention to is not stimulating it anymore."

"Your biggest problem should be your personal desires. In our Traditional Chinese Medicine terms, this is called 'lustful as life itself.' In Western Medicine terms, it's called 'sex addiction.'"

"Ah?"

As soon as Qin Jiang said this, Yuan Yan's face immediately flushed red.

This… how could there be such a disease?

Even a girl with Yuan Yan's outgoing personality felt extremely embarrassed after hearing Qin Jiang say this.

"Dr. Qin, are you mistaken? How could I possibly have this kind of disease? I… I'm usually quite restrained."

After all, she's a girl; she cares about her reputation.

If others knew she had this disease, who knows what they would say.

If this were in the old society, she might even be dragged away and drowned in a pig cage.

Seeing Yuan Yan's reaction, Qin Jiang said with a serious expression, "This is a disease. You need to face your illness; don't feel embarrassed."

"There are currently many possible causes for this disease, including the influence of hormones in the body, as well as environmental and psychological factors."

"But no matter what the influence, you need to be careful to control yourself and not indulge in pleasure as recklessly as before."

"Look at your boyfriend; what have you done to him?"

Yuan Yan glanced at Cui Guang, who immediately shivered and curled into a ball.

Cui Guang's condition is a typical manifestation of severe kidney qi deficiency—aversion to light and timidity.

Netizens in the live stream also sighed when they saw this scene.

"I never thought it would be this kind of disease. No wonder her boyfriend used to be a sunny Young man, and now he's like a goblin."

"Isn't this a modern succubus? She's too fierce!"

"Fierce my ass. Even if she's a real succubus, do you have that many kidneys to subdue her?"

"There was a woman like this before, right? Her boyfriend owned an entertainment company?"

"It's different. Yuan Yan's condition is clearly more severe."

"Alas, before marriage, Aunt Flow is a roadblock; after marriage, Aunt Flow is a savior. The ancients truly didn't deceive me."

Netizens complained, and Yuan Yan also didn't expect that it was actually her own problem.

She always thought that such things were a way for couples to express their love.

So every time Cui Guang refused, Yuan Yan felt that he didn't love her anymore.

At this moment, Yuan Yan finally understood that she had been tormenting Cui Guang all along.

Thinking of this, Yuan Yan asked, "Dr. Qin, can my illness still be cured?"

"Only regulated."

Qin Jiang explained, "The Way of Heaven diminishes the excessive and replenishes the insufficient."

"The Way of Man diminishes the insufficient and replenishes the excessive."

Yuan Yan listened, completely bewildered.

"Dr. Qin, what do you mean by that?"

Qin Jiang patiently explained, "What I mean is that the Way of Health Preservation, the Way of Heaven, generally involves taking one's excess and using it to supplement what is lacking."

"For example, the three treasures of man are essence, qi, and spirit. When essence is sufficient, qi is naturally sufficient; when qi is sufficient, spirit is naturally sufficient."

"So, you see those true Taoists who cultivate in the mountains; some can even abstain from eating grains and just practiceFasting. Their mental state is still very full and very healthy."

"This is because they have always adhered to their original heart, without depletion, and it naturally becomes this way."

Yuan Yan nodded, half-understanding.

The Taoists in her impression seemed to be like this indeed.

With white hair and a youthful face, even at several decades old, their bodies were still as good as a Young man's.

"But when people do things, it's precisely the opposite of the Way of Heaven."

"The more people lack something, the more they will use it."

"For example, you and your boyfriend are both severely kidney deficient now, but precisely because of that, you two can't stop. Why is that?"

"This is what Taoists call the Way of Man: the more you lack, the more you use."

"So, only by understanding this principle can you make up your mind to quit. Once your kidney qi gradually replenishes and becomes full, you naturally won't think about such things anymore."

Qin Jiang's words made Zou Moli, who was standing by, light up.

The reason Traditional Chinese Medicine has not been able to be widely promoted is because it has its own philosophical system within it.

For example, this Way of Heaven and Way of Man, which are purely Taoist thoughts, should, in theory, have nothing to do with medicine.

However, applying this Way of Heaven and Way of Man to Yuan Yan's situation is incredibly apt and perfectly suitable.

Why were there so many upright older generations in the past?

Although they also married and had children, they never indulged in sensual pleasures and debauchery like today's Young Men?

It's because entertainment was not developed back then, and there were fewer temptations.

So they focused on work and life, their kidney qi was not depleted, and even with normal marital life, they were very restrained, unlike today's Young Men who talk about being a 'seven-times-a-night man' at every turn.

Netizens in the live stream also seemed to grasp something.

"So this kind of thing also has a vicious cycle. No wonder I'm always overthinking."

"I really have something to say about this. I used to be like you all, impulsive, liked to 'reward myself.' But ever since I fell in love with exercising, I no longer have the energy to do that."

"This is true. Truly busy people don't have time to 'reward themselves.' Just like my senior brother who's doing his Ph.D. in my dorm, he falls asleep as soon as he lies down and goes to the library as soon as he wakes up. He's genuinely busy."

"Master, I understand! From today onwards, I will abstain!"

After clarifying Yuan Yan's illness, Qin Jiang pointed to the QR code on the table.

"The consultation fee is two thousand five in total. Please scan the code to pay."

"Later, I'll prescribe some medicine for you and give you a few acupuncture needles for regulation."

"Remember my words: don't look at those messy things, you must control your desires, and you must be temperate."

Yuan Yan nodded, her face flushed.

"I understand, Dr. Qin. I will definitely pay attention in the future."

Cui Guang, sitting nearby, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, Yuan Yan's problem was finally diagnosed; otherwise, he really didn't know how much longer he could last.

Yuan Yan took out her phone and scanned the code to pay.
