Chapter 54: The Five Elements Needle Method
The iron fence outside the villa automatically opened, and Qin Xuan followed Elder Fang in.
On the way, Qin Xuan couldn't help but think about what happened to Fang Lao calling him, and with a faint surprise, he walked into the villa building and changed into slippers.
Elder Fang had already changed into slippers at this time, turned his head to look at Qin Xuan with a faint smile, and chuckled, "Xiao Xuan, you come with me to the study!"
Qin Xuan nodded slightly, followed Elder Fang quietly, and walked towards the study.
"Ah, Elder Fang, you're back, I'm going to cook..."
Hearing the noise in the living room, the middle-aged nanny walked out of her bedroom, and when she saw that it was Fang Lao, her voice was slightly eager.
Elder Fang turned his head, waved his hand and said, "No need, I've already eaten, you go and rest!"
With that, he strode into his study on the first floor.
Qin Xuan's calm face showed a hint of a smile after seeing the nanny, nodded slightly, called Auntie sensibly, and followed Elder Fang into the study.
The middle-aged nanny looked at the study that was closed by Qin Xuan in a daze, was stunned for a while, shook her head, and walked towards her bedroom.
She knew that the two of them must have something to discuss, so it was not easy to bother, and she had been busy all morning, and now she wanted to go and rest for a while, so she went back to her bedroom.
In the study, Fang Lao walked straight to the chair behind his desk, lowered his head and opened the drawer on the table, took out a pack of cigarettes, took out one and lit it after opening it, took a deep breath, and then looked up at Qin Xuan standing in front of the desk, pointed to the chair on the side, and said, "Xiao Xuan, don't stand, let's sit down and talk." β
Qin Xuan sat on the chair pointed out by Elder Fang as he said.
"Xiao Xuan, do you know what I came to you for?" Fang Lao spat out a puff of cigarette and continued.
Qin Xuan shook his head, Elder Fang brought him without saying a word, how did he know what was going on!
"Hehe, look at me, I'm old and confused!" Fang Lao patted his forehead and said with an embarrassed smile.
He also asked casually just now, but now he remembered that he hadn't said anything to Qin Xuan at all, as if asking Qin Xuan how he could know his thoughts.
Elder Fang said embarrassedly, "Xiao Xuan, how are you studying acupuncture?"
Although Qin Xuan was surprised that Elder Fang had brought himself to this study and asked this question, he still replied seriously: "Well, Elder Fang, I still have some understanding of acupuncture and moxibustion, although it is not as good as some old acupuncturists, but I don't think it is too bad." β
Elder Fang nodded when he heard Qin Xuan's answer, he asked Qin Xuan again, just to make sure again.
"That Xiao Xuan, wait a minute!"
After speaking, Elder Fang extinguished a cigarette in his hand.
Standing up slowly, Fang Lao walked to the big bookshelf on the side, suddenly took out a key from his body in his hand, and after pulling out a few books, he immediately inserted the key into the exposed dark compartment.
"Click......"
A few seconds later, Fang Lao pulled a wooden board from the hidden compartment and reached out to take out a box wrapped in kraft paper.
Qin Xuan didn't see that Old Fang had his back to him, and when he looked at this box, his face showed joy and relief.
Turning around slowly, with a faint smile on his face, Fang Lao reached out and handed the box to Qin Xuan, and said softly: "Xiao Xuan, there is a medical book on acupuncture and moxibustion in it, you take it to study, remember, you must keep this medical book." It's hard to buy. β
Qin Xuan showed a hint of surprise, he didn't expect that Fang Lao would bring him to give him a medical book on acupuncture and moxibustion, although Qin Xuan didn't read the content inside, but from Fang Lao's attention to this medical book, and it was so tightly hidden, he knew that this medical book must be very valuable.
And looking at Fang Lao's expression and his words, it is obvious that this book on acupuncture is also absolutely important to him.
Reaching out to take the box, Qin Xuan observed it carefully.
The outside of the box is wrapped in brown paper, in the shape of a cuboid, about the width and length of a book, and the thickness is six centimeters, making it a very small box.
Qin Xuan glanced at Elder Fang, and at Elder Fang's signal, he stretched out his hand and peeled off the kraft paper.
What appeared in front of Qin Xuan's eyes was a wooden box, Qin Xuan knew that this wood was a kind of fragrant nan wood, smelling a faint Zen fragrance, and the surface of the box looked very ancient.
There are four ancient seal characters engraved on it - the five elements of stitching, the atmosphere is majestic, the momentum is magnificent, just by the momentum revealed by the words, Qin Xuan knows that the person who carved these four words must be a very bold person.
Qin Xuan couldn't help but open the box, and what caught his eye was an ancient book, more than five centimeters thick, with a dark yellow surface of the book cover, engraved with the same four wordsβthe Five Elements Needle Method.
Qin Xuan couldn't help but turn the first page and read it.
On the first page, there is a general outline of the Five Elements Needle Method, although it is only thirty-six words, but in Qin Xuan's opinion, it is dry and difficult to understand, as if it contains thousands of mysteries and is elusive.
Qin Xuan glanced at it, and indulged in it, he only felt that this general outline seemed to contain the mystery of the Tao, he only read it for a while, and he felt that he had gained a lot, and he had a new understanding of medical skills, and he also had a new understanding of martial arts.
Hearing the coughing sound, Qin Xuan woke up, and when he saw Elder Fang next to him, Qin Xuan said embarrassedly: "Elder Fang, hehe..."
"It's okay, how is it?" Fang Lao said with a smile, a little pride in his tone. He was confident in his books.
"Elder Fang, I only read this general outline, and I think this book of five elements acupuncture is very remarkable, what is the origin of this book?"
Qin Xuan heard Fang Lao's words, and said curiously, Qin Xuan now admires the person who wrote this acupuncture, although he didn't have the opportunity to meet, but from this general outline alone, Qin Xuan can see the heroic atmosphere of this author, and the thorough and in-depth research on medical skills.
Hearing Qin Xuan's words, Elder Fang didn't answer directly, but took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and then closed his eyes, as if he had fallen into a long memory.
Qin Xuan didn't bother when he saw Fang Lao like this, so he stood quietly aside and waited silently.
After a long while, Old Fang came to his senses from the distant memories, saw Qin Xuan still standing beside him, and said, "Xiao Xuan, sit down, this is a long story, if you want to hear it, just wait for me to speak slowly." β
Qin Xuan heard what Elder Fang had to say, so he quickly turned around and walked towards the door.
Old Fang was stunned for a moment, he knew that Qin Xuan might have something, so he didn't say anything.
Qin Xuan came to the hall and made a cup of tea, and then walked towards the study.
Seeing the tea brought by Qin Xuan, Fang Lao's eyes were a little moist, his wife died early, several children were outside, he was not at home all the year round, and he was often the only one at home, although he often chatted with a few old friends to catch up on the old days, but he couldn't avoid the loneliness and loneliness of living alone at night.
Now seeing Qin Xuan's sensibility and filial piety, he felt an indescribable warmth and emotion in his heart.
Qin Xuan handed over the tea and sat on the chair in front of him, ready to listen to Elder Fang's story.
Fang Lao took a sip of tea, and when he saw Qin Xuan who was seriously preparing to listen to his speech, he nodded and said:
"It was very early days, when I was sent to the countryside to do manual work, and every day I was exhausted and suffered, and it was probably the darkest day of my life. β
Speaking of this, Elder Fang couldn't help but sigh.
Then he took a sip of tea, and then said: "When I was in pain, an old man came, he was wearing a simple tunic suit, and he was doing the same physical work as me, because we often worked together, we also knew each other, I knew that his name was Zeng Wenfu, an old Chinese medicine doctor, I asked him why he came here, and he didn't say." β
Elder Fang glanced up at Qin Xuan, who was listening carefully, paused, and said, "But he is really powerful, every night when he comes back, he only needs to give me a massage on a few acupoints, and the next day I will be alive and well, if it weren't for him to help me, I probably wouldn't be able to hold on during that time." β
"Then what?" Qin Xuan couldn't help asking, as soon as the words came out, Qin Xuan knew that he was reckless.
Fang Lao didn't care, and continued: "After a while, a group of people suddenly came and took him out, and when he came back at night, he saw that his clothes were torn, and his body was covered with blood, and he was in a state of malaise. β
"I went up and asked what was going on, but he just waved his hand and didn't say anything, so I had to help him to the bed, and was about to go out to fetch water and wash him, when he took my hand and seemed to have something to say to me. β
Speaking of this, Old Fang's face was full of melancholy, as if he hated the person who started the old Chinese medicine doctor but was helpless.
Soon, Fang Lao got rid of this emotion and continued: "I saw him climb out of bed with difficulty, I hurriedly went up to help him, and when I came to a corner, he moved a brick away, and then took out this box. β
As he spoke, Fang Lao pointed to the box on the table, and continued: "He handed the box to me and told me that this box contains a medical book, which was handed down by his ancestors, and now he is the only one left in his generation, and he knows that he will not live long, so he passed this medical book to me, he knows that I am not a person who loves to study medicine, so he instructed me to wait until I meet someone who loves to study Chinese medicine, and I will give this medical book to the person who loves to study Chinese medicine." β
Fang Lao said so much in one breath, he felt that his throat was a little dry, so he picked up the cup and took a sip of water, looked at Qin Xuan's eager appearance, and said with a smile: "Xiao Xuan, don't worry, I will tell you everything." β
Qin Xuan also felt that he was a little anxious, took a deep breath, calmed the restlessness in his chest, and said, "What happened to the old Chinese medicine doctor in the end?"
Although Qin Xuan had a faint guess, he still hoped that the old Chinese medicine doctor would survive.
He knew that the old Chinese medicine doctor must be a person with unparalleled medical skills, but he didn't know why he had fallen to such a point, at this time, Qin Xuan also had a deep regret in his heart, if he could meet the old Chinese medicine doctor, what a happy thing it would be!
