It wasn't until Principal Lu finally contacted Ding Ning that Hu Lao and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

These foreign devils have been obsessed with Chinese medicine after enjoying the treatment of Chinese medicine for free and getting rid of some minor physical problems, and they have been shouting all day long in half-baked Shenzhou language and constantly shouting "Magical Shenzhou, magical Chinese medicine", which makes them want to vomit while listening to a strong sense of national pride, and secretly despise these so-called authority figures are simply a group of dirt buns, where do you know that my Shenzhou Chinese medicine is broad and profound, these treatment methods are just some conventional treatment methods, and it is not worth making a fuss about at all.

This also confirms from the side that Westerners seriously lack the experience and cognition of traditional Chinese medicine, so they will regard traditional Chinese medicine as a pseudoscience, so they work harder to show their true strength as national masters of traditional Chinese medicine, and let them become propagandists who can reverse the weak situation of traditional Chinese medicine in the international community for free.

Therefore, when Ding Ning came to the school, he saw a scene that made him laugh, there were five massage tables in the conference room of Nuo University, and the evaluation team of "The Lancet" was lying comfortably on the massage table, and the naked juniors were covered with fire pots, shouting loudly, where is the majesty of the staff of authoritative magazines.

After explaining to President Lu sincerely and sincerely, and solemnly apologizing, Ding Ning reported the latest address to him, and then took out the two papers "On the Discovery of Microorganisms of Rice Grains and Bean Sprouts" and "The Efficacy of Rice Bean Oral Liquid" that had been prepared long ago and put them on the table.

Tom Cruise is still extremely dedicated, and when his back is full of fire pots, he still noticed Ding Ning's arrival for the first time from the happy smiles of Hu Lao and others.

Tang Weidong warmly greeted him, held Ding Ning's hand, and dug An Dao: "Doctor Ding, you are here, if you don't come to Hu Lao again, they will have to be masseurs full-time." ”

"Editor-in-Chief Tang, I'm really sorry, I've been researching some things at home these days, and my phone has been muted, which has delayed everyone's time, I'm sorry. ”

Ding Ning apologized very embarrassedly, he really didn't expect the staff of "The Lancet" to suddenly come without a word of notice in advance, otherwise, he would have to keep in touch even if he was in retreat.

"This is Mr. Ding, right? It's really young, it's amazing. ”

Before the time for cupping came, Tom Cruise shook his beard and smiled at Ding Ning embarrassedly: "Hello Mr. Ding, I am Tom Cruise, the editor-in-chief of The Lancet, I'm sorry, please wait a while." ”

"It's okay, because of my personal reasons, I've been making you guests from afar wait for three days, I'm sorry, I should have waited a while. ”

Ding Ning bowed his head very politely, and his fluent English made Tom Cruise feel refreshed, these days to communicate with Hu Lao, someone has to be on the side to translate at all times, but medicine is very rigorous, and it is difficult for non-medical professional translators to understand those obscure medical professional terms, and the words often do not reach the meaning when translating, which makes Tom Cruise difficult to understand.

So when he found that there was no obstacle to communicating with Ding Ning, he was in a very happy mood, lying on the massage table and tilting his head hard and said: "Oh, Mr. Ding, we have felt the magic of Chinese medicine in the past two days, but since these doctors do not speak English, we have some obstacles in communication, and now that Mr. Ding is here, I have a few questions I would like to ask." ”

"Don't dare to ask, if you have any questions, you can ask, and if I know the answer, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. ”

Ding Ning said modestly.

"Mr. Ding, I have read your "On the Advantages and Disadvantages of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine Anesthesia", which is very exciting, but I still can't understand the way in which the meridians exist, and if they really exist, why can't they be seen when the human body dissects them?"

Tom Cruise's question is poignant, and it goes straight to the heart of the paper, after all, the concept of TCM anesthesia is premised on the real existence of meridians.

This was a question that Ding Ning had expected a long time ago, and instead of answering, he asked: "I believe that Mr. Cruise has really felt the existence of acupuncture points in the past two days, right?"

"YES, I do feel the presence of acupuncture points, and I have asked these doctors, but I don't know if it is because they are not clear about what they expressed, or if it is a problem with translation, I am still confused, I can feel it, but I can't see it, which makes it difficult for me to understand, you know, we do medical journals, we have to be based on science. ”

Tom Cruise struggled to express his meaning, after all, the language of China is vast and profound, and it is by no means a combination of twenty-six English letters that can be clearly described.

"Mr. Cruise, you're a Catholic, aren't you?"

Ding Ning noticed that Tom Cruise was wearing a cross around his neck with thick pores, and asked with certainty.

"Yes, I'm a very devout Catholic, does that have anything to do with the meridians we're talking about?"

Tom Cruise asked, puzzled.

Ding Ning smiled and didn't answer, and continued to ask, "Then do you say that the Lord is real?"

"The Lord is omnipotent, He is everywhere, and of course it is real. ”

Tom Cruise closed his eyes reverently and said Amen.

"It may be disrespectful for me to say this, but I am just making an analogy to make it easier for Mr. Cruise to understand that the meridians and the Lord you believe in are the same truth, which exists, but it has no concrete embodiment, only exists in the ideology, so it is impossible to see its existence with the eyes. ”

Ding Ning made a not particularly appropriate analogy, but Tom Cruise immediately understood, "You mean that the meridians exist in the spiritual realm, and they can't be concretized, right?"

"That's right or wrong, at least the meridians are different from the Lord you believe in, the Lord guides you in your spiritual world, pays attention to you, loves you, but there is nothing concrete, but the meridians are different, in my eyes, its form of existence and the Lord exist in the ideology is a truth, if it is just like this, I can't prove the existence of the meridians at all, even if it is approved by Mr. Cruise, your "Lancet" will not agree with my theory. ”

Ding Ning said unhurriedly: " I have clearly stated in the paper that the theory of Chinese medicine anesthesia is based on the existence of the meridians, so it can actually be concretized by some special means, we believe that the human body is also secretly in line with the way of heaven, with the division of yin and yang five elements, of course, to tell you these Shenzhou culture I am afraid you do not understand, facts speak louder than words, things are complicated to say and very simple to do, as long as I use Chinese medicine anesthesia to let you feel, you will know whether the meridians are really existent. ”

After cupping, Tom Cruise got up, put on his coat, shrugged his shoulders and said: "To be honest, Mr. Ding, when I saw your paper, my intuitive reaction was nonsense, but after seeing the video of you treating patients, I think maybe what you said is true, as "The Lancet" We have always been committed to the mission of world health to ensure that we have a wide range of research and analysis from all regions of the world, so we are here to find the truth, whether it is true or false, and after trying it, we will understand, I hope Mr. Ding will not let us run in vain. ”

"Trust me, you'll soon find out that your efforts were not in vain. ”

Ding Ning smiled and shrugged his shoulders, glancing at the camera equipment piled up in the corner: "I think you need some preparation time." ”

"Oh yes, you're so understanding, my friend, we do need a little time, my companions are still experiencing the magic of Chinese medicine, sorry, please wait a moment. ”

Tom Cruise laughed and gave Ding Ning a hug, the bearded Ding Ning's neck was itchy, Tom turned around and clapped his hands: "Dear friends, get ready, the time to witness the miracle is coming." ”

Ding Ning smiled slightly, pulled Hu Lao and Zhang Lao and whispered something, the second elder smiled and nodded again and again, Hu Lao beckoned a middle-aged man who had been waiting beside him, and quickly ordered a few words.

Ding Ning nodded to the middle-aged man with a respectful face, he recognized this middle-aged man as Hu Lao's student, Li Hongchun, the general of the Ninghai University School of Medicine, Li Hongchun smiled at him, and walked out quickly.

The members of the Lancet evaluation team worked very efficiently, and in less than 10 minutes, the cameraman, photographer and reporter were already in place, who were not only witnesses of TCM anesthesia, but also experienced TCM anesthesia.

"Who's going to experience it first?"

Ding Ning said with his empty hands and a smile.

"I'll do it first, and if it works, I hope they can all experience it. ”

Tom Cruise volunteered, although in his identity, he would not deceive at all, but for the sake of prudence, he still felt that it was better for everyone to experience it, so as to avoid some people suspecting that he and Ding Ning were colluding.

Ding Ning was noncommittal, "Okay, Mr. Cruise, let's come first." ”

"Good...... Ugh!"

Before Tom Cruise's words fell, Ding Ning tapped a little on his waist, and his eyes widened in astonishment, and his whole body stiffened in place: "Oh, buy it, it's amazing, I can't move." ”

"It's a general anesthetic, it's two hours, and you won't be aware of anything during that time. ”、

In order to strengthen his persuasive power, Ding Ning mischievously took a scalpel, stood in a blind corner that Tom Cruise could not see, and slashed his right shoulder.

The eyes of the four staff members of The Lancet widened in shock, and the editor-in-chief's shoulder was cut open, but they didn't feel it at all, and they didn't even know that their shoulder was bleeding, which showed that the anesthetic effect was very significant.

Ding Ning smiled narrowly, and tapped twice on his waist again: "This is semi-numb, and the position of the meridians will be somewhat deviated, and it takes Chinese medicine practitioners who are very familiar with the direction of the human body's meridians to be able to accurately grasp it." ”

"Shhh

Tom Cruise gasped and grinned in pain: "Mr. Ding, will this TCM anesthesia have side effects, why does my shoulder hurt so much?"

Everyone burst into laughter, looking at Tom, who was unconscious, and the cameraman William shrugged his shoulders amusedly: "Because Mr. Ding operated on your right shoulder." ”

"What?"

Tom Cruise turned his head in shock and looked at the wound on his right shoulder, not only did he not get angry, but his eyes flashed with a hot light: "Oh, I bought it, I didn't even feel it at all, if it wasn't for the half-body anesthesia, I wouldn't have known that my shoulder was cut, this is still anesthesia when I am conscious, the effect of this Chinese medicine anesthesia is really amazing." ”

You must know that even if a patient with local anesthesia does not feel pain, he still knows the site of the operation, but the anesthesia of traditional Chinese medicine completely makes the patient lose all perception, which is incredible.

didn't notice that Ding Ning's scalpel slashed his left shoulder again at this moment, and the blood flowed again.
