Chapter 489: The Golden Needle of the World
The coriander immediately jumped up: "Damn, you dare to love Zang, you have wronged me from the beginning!" Staff Officer Zang nodded and said, "Not bad." But don't be impulsive, camp commander, listen to what I've said. I condemned you first so that the real murderer would let his guard down. In other words, now that you can find out the real culprit, the first merit is your battalion commander! Master, here I suggest that the battalion commander of the coriander should be given the first skill of enduring humiliation and leading the snake out of the hole. ”
Li Moqian sighed "hmm" and nodded thoughtfully. The coriander touched the bandage wrapped around his head and smiled: "Really?" Hehe, won't I be locked up for a while, even if I make a meritorious service? This is not good, or this will be given to you Staff Officer Zang...... Wrong! I've been locked up for a long time, and you just say it so lightly?! How can there be such a cheap thing! Li Moqian interrupted the wolf impatiently: "Don't make trouble, old Qian!" Staff Officer Zang, Tianshu died at that time, and he was the only one by his side, but Staff Officer Zang, you said that you knew from the beginning that Lao Qian was not a murderer, I don't know why? ”
Staff Officer Zang smiled at the coriander wolf, and took out something from the sleeve of the military shirt: "Because I found this thing under the bed in the abbot's room last night, I just don't understand what it is for." Today, when I heard the two last words of the Heavenly Book Master, I realized that this thing is the crux of the problem. Li Moqian recalled in a low voice: "I only wish to save the suffering and save the Guanyin Bodhisattva, give the world a golden needle, save the sorrow of the world, and relieve the worries of the world." It turns out that Tianshu's last words before his death are to tell us that the final clue to solve all doubts is on this needle in your hand. I just don't know what is the interpretation of the last sentence 'all living beings are exhausted, and Bodhi is proven'? ”
What Staff Officer Zang was holding in his hand was a needle. But it is far thinner than the thin iron needle that sets the paper on the combat drawing board, and some parts have a faint golden luster. Seeing Li Moqian's curiosity, Staff Officer Zang simply put the needle on the palm of his hand and spread it out. At this time, Li Moqian found out that the thin needle was originally folded in the hand of Staff Officer Zang, and it returned to its original length as soon as it was spread out, which was much longer than the paper needle, and the texture was extremely soft, unlike iron. Most of the needles have been dim for a long time, and only the mottled parts that faintly shimmer with gold seem to be gilded, and they tremble slightly in the palm of the palm with Staff Officer Zang's breathing.
Staff Officer Zang retracted his sleeves, shook his head and said: "Every word of the master has a deep meaning, and we and other laypeople may not be able to figure out the mystery every word. But after the battalion commander occupied the abbot's room, until last night, I searched every day and never found this needle. And the only ones who have the key to the abbot's room are me, the camp chief, and Tianshu. So it seems that what the Heavenly Book Master wants to say to us today has already been arranged as early as last night. ”
Li Moqian groaned: "In this way, Tianshu has long seen through the double reed played by you and Coriander Wolf, and is trying to reveal what information to you." But he spends a lot of time alone with us, so why don't he just tell us? Staff Officer Zang said in a low voice: "This is exactly the mystery we want to solve." Shizuo just asked me why I was sure that the wolf was not the murderer, because when I knew that this needle might be related to the truth of Tianshu's death, I immediately recalled that from the time this needle appeared under the bed last night to Tianshu's death tonight, Tianshu had dressed, dressed, and behaved differently from the past. Then I focused my attention on the plaster on the temple on the right side of the corpse of Tianshu. ”
Li Moqian was stunned and said, "What? Is there anything unusual about dog skin plasters? Staff Officer Zang smiled: "Shizuo may not have noticed that Tianshu finally changed the plaster this morning, and the time to change the plaster was also last night.
The plaster on Tianshu's temple has been stained with oil, sweat, dirt and discoloration since we came to Mulin to see him, so it can be seen that it has not been changed for a long time. Yesterday afternoon, I remember that he was still wearing the same old plaster. But when I saw him this morning, I was replaced with a clean new plaster. ”
This kind of plaster to remove the head wind, to maintain the efficacy, at most three or five days to change the new medicine, I have long felt that Tianshu has always been attached to an old plaster unreasonable, but I am afraid that it may also be the reason for Tianshu's stinginess, and it will hurt the dignity if you ask. But Shiza, do you remember that when you were talking downstairs, Tianshu touched the plaster on your temples more than once? So when the battalion commander and Fu Yuan were arguing, I took advantage of the chaos to secretly uncover the newly applied plaster and take a look. ”
Li Moqian asked, "What did you find?" ”
Staff Officer Zang said: "Blood spots." There was a very, very small blood spot on the plaster, and I thought of the golden needle left by the Book of Heaven, so I was able to find an extremely thin pinhole on the temple of the Book of Heaven corresponding to the blood spot. It can be seen that Tianshu expected that someone would die by piercing the temple with a needle last night, so he went to the abbot's room to put this needle under the bed, and changed the plaster to remind us. But the strange thing is that there is no needle eye on the newly pasted plaster, which shows that when the murderer committed the crime, he uncovered half of the plaster and pricked the needle into the skull and then pasted it to restore the position, this kind of delicate close operation is definitely not something that the battalion commander who hides when Tianshu sees it, so ......"
Li Moqian nodded and said, "That's right, this strange fatal injury can completely wash away Lao Qian's crimes." Staff Officer Zang shook his head and said, "Not yet." I have never been able to explain how the murderer managed to kill Tianshu without anyone seeing his real body. Li Moqian also shook his head and said: "It's really hard to explain, I've never seen a needle of this shape, looking at such a soft texture, of course it can't be pierced into the skin and flesh as a murder weapon." I don't know where the Book of Heaven came from......"
Suddenly, the coriander wolf, who had been stunned, cried: "Why can't you pierce the flesh?" This is a golden needle for acupuncture, and the rough skin and flesh in the doctor's hands can be pierced into it! Li Moqian said angrily: "Old Qian, you don't know how not to talk nonsense, the gold needles used in traditional Chinese medicine are only two inches and six or seven at most, how can these four or five inches long soft needles be forced to penetrate the skin?" The coriander wolf was so anxious that he jumped wildly: "I'm a monk when I talk nonsense!" Shizuo, you have never met a master, those two inches, six or seven golden needles are used by apprentices and grandchildren! I'll tell you, I ...... back then."
Li Moqian saw that the coriander who had just washed his innocence was about to jump back into the quagmire by himself, and said angrily: "Shut up!" Staff Officer Zang hurriedly smiled at the coriander wolf: "Zang really has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, but I didn't expect the battalion commander to know the art of hanging the pot to help the world!" The coriander smiled: "Don't lift me up." The old coriander is a big and rough one, how do you know how to see a doctor and treat people? However, when I opened a martial arts hall before joining the army, there was a famous Sun family medical hall next door, and the owner of the hall, Lao Sun Xiucai, was good at acupuncture, and he had to prick me two or three times a month. As soon as the needle is pricked, the person will not be able to move, so he will leave a mouth to speak. I'll just talk to Sun Xiucai, and then I'll listen to him say this golden needle, soft ......."
Li Moqian couldn't help but shout: "Tell the point!" Have you ever seen such a long golden needle in the Sun family? The coriander replied unconvinced: "Didn't I think while talking? It's been all these years, okay? Master, don't interrupt, I'll forget when I see you blowing your beard and glaring. Staff Officer Zang hurriedly said: "Don't be in a hurry, don't worry, Battalion Commander, you speak slowly." The coriander scratched his scalp and said, "I remember what Sun Xiucai said, what did you say?" ”
Staff Officer Zang smiled and continued, "He said that the golden needle is soft. The coriander slapped his thigh: "That's right! Lao Sun Xiucai said that the needles used in this kind of acupuncture are made of silver, and silver will turn black and rust after a long time. Li Moqian couldn't help but say, "What rust?" Silver discoloration is called oxidation! ”
The coriander glanced at Li Moqian with dissatisfaction and said: "How can there be Westernization, the golden needle is Chinese, and foreigners will not use the golden needle!" Therefore, I am afraid that the silver will rust, and I have to apply another layer of gold on the outside. Silver is already soft, and how difficult do you say it is to pull it so long to make a thin needle? ”
"Then you have to work your fingers, and it all depends on ingenuity to recognize the acupoints. Practicing gold needles and acupoints are practiced from semi-soft and not hard bamboo sticks, from thick to fine, and finally practiced until the bamboo silk pierces the pores, and only when you are qualified can you use two-inch gold needles. From short to long, the longer it is, the more capable it is. He said that on the human body, in addition to the 365 bright points painted in the acupoint map, there are also 72 hidden acupoints, which are also called strange points outside the meridians. ”
"It's not a big deal, it's on the surface of the skin. But the hidden hole is amazing. The hidden acupoint is not marked on the acupoint map, because it is not on the surface of the skin, hiding in the human body for 108,000 miles, and more than two inches of gold needles cannot reach it at all. Sun Xiucai said that as long as you can control the hidden acupoint, you can let the living die whenever you want, and you can also let the dead live whenever you want. However, the hidden hole is particularly delicate, except for the gold needle as thin as a cow's hair, and if something a little harder is touched, no one knows what will happen. Therefore, the general master is afraid of accidents, so he does not dare to teach his disciples, and there are fewer and fewer people who know this way-if you hadn't met me this time......
Li Moqian said with a gloomy face: "I can talk to you very well, right?" The coriander wolf was in a hurry again, and Staff Officer Zang said: "The theory of the hidden cave should not be the nonsense of the battalion commander." The humble post once consulted the archives of the military commanders who recorded anecdotes and anecdotes, saying that in the Qing Dynasty, there was a imperial doctor who was distracted due to changes in the family, and he missed a hidden hole of the Daoguang Emperor, and the emperor began to cough up blood at a young age, and escaped overnight and went to the people. ”
The coriander slapped his thigh: "Oh, you know all this?" Sun Xiucai said that it is a talent to learn gold needles to pierce acupoints, and the gold needles he uses are three inches and two millimeters long, and he can have one or two hidden points, and he is already a first-class master in the market. And his grandfather used three inches and five millimeters in the past, so he sat firmly in the first place in the hospital. It is rumored that only his ancestor Sun Simiao, who was known as the king of medicine during the Taizong period of the Tang Dynasty, can use a five-inch gold needle, and the Tang Taizong Youyin Division said in "Journey to the West" later returned to Yang and lived for 12 years, in fact, the emperor was so sick that he faked his death and put it in the coffin, and was rescued by Sun Simiao, who rushed to the hidden acupoint with a golden needle. However, later, the kung fu of the five-inch golden needle was only learned by a Japanese man in the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, who is the one who has a very strange name...... I can't really remember, I just remember that the name was so hard to pronounce......"
