Chapter 89: The First Experience of Acupuncture

It is easy to prick people with needles, after all, the skin of a person cannot withstand the puncture of a needle, but it takes a lot of finger power to pierce a person with a silver needle to cure a disease.

Because the silver needle is not as thin and soft as the hair needle, if the finger is not strong enough, the speed of the penetration will be slowed down, so that the soft and slender silver needle will be bent in the process of piercing, so that people will be stabbed in the wrong position or broken needle.

Therefore, people who study acupuncture will first practice their finger power on things such as radishes, and when they can pierce radishes with a needle in the snap of their fingers, the finger power is almost enough.

And if you have finger power, you have to have courage, after all, this is to take a needle to prick someone's flesh, some people take a needle to prick the radish well, but as soon as it is changed to a real person, their hands will tremble.

So I don't ask you to have a needle to stab someone to death, but you yourself must not faint first! Otherwise, the patient hasn't even complained of pain, and you yourself will faint first, and this will cure a fart!

After Huang Lao finished talking to Wu Zheng about the main points of the needle, he didn't care about the rest of the matter, although this had the ingredients of Wu Zheng in the school examination, but this could not hide the fact that he was irresponsible.

Of course, Wu Zheng doesn't know yet, otherwise Wu Zheng would definitely point at Huang Lao's nose and scold, whether he is a master or not, this is a living person in front of him, not a pig, how can he be so childish.

Wu Zheng didn't know, so he did it, Wu Zheng had seen the technique of applying needles in later generations, not to mention that he had just seen Huang Lao stab four needles for the little girl with a high fever, so in Wu Zheng's opinion, the requirements for needles are said to be a thousand and ten thousand, and the three words are fast, accurate, and ruthless.

Wu Zheng was afraid that he would not be able to grasp the depth of the needle for the first time, so he simply measured the depth on the needle first, and then pinched the place with his fingers, aimed at the red dot drawn by the red pen and quickly flicked it down, the speed was so fast that others didn't have time to see his piercing action, and as a result, the silver needle trembled lightly on Li Si's body, obviously firmly rooted in his body.

Huang Lao, who watched this scene, couldn't help but look shocked, he originally wanted to let him know that the way of acupuncture and moxibustion is not as easy as you think, and the acupuncture alone is enough for you to practice for two or three years.

As a result, he didn't expect Wu Zheng to succeed in the first needle, and the speed was so fast that he didn't even see it clearly, and at such a fast speed, although the depth of the silver needle was not bad, it was also a benefit.

"You...... How did you do that? No, you must have learned it before! Huang Lao said in surprise.

Wu Zheng looked at the needle he had pricked, then looked at Huang Lao, and said with disdain: "Cut!" Isn't it just a needle sticking into the flesh? What's all the fuss, as long as you can find the acupuncture points, you can do it! ”

"Is it a personal will? Do you know that the old man practiced for three ...... back then?"

Huang Lao was halfway through speaking, but he suddenly got stuck, because he suddenly found that if he said that he hadn't been able to get a needle after three years of practice, it wouldn't make this kid laugh to death.

Wu Zheng said suspiciously: "Three? What three? Could it be that you practiced for three months for such a simple thing as piercing this needle into your flesh? ”

Huang Lao didn't deny it, because he had been practicing for three years, and now Wu Zheng said that it was already earned in three months.

So Huang Lao continued: "The stabbing seems simple, but it is very important to pay attention to finger power. ”

After speaking, Huang Lao also picked up a silver needle and looked unconvinced, raised his hand and stabbed it into the purlin beside him, and the silver needle as thin as a hair was actually pierced by him an inch deeper.

Huang Lao clapped his hands proudly, but in Wu Zheng's opinion, there was nothing strange about this, he just hadn't pierced the wood, and he could do it if he stabbed eighty percent by himself.

But Chai Hu on the side didn't think so! He looked at the silver needle on the purlin that was still trembling with a frightened face, thinking that he had been practicing the radish for two years, and the silver needle was still broken in the radish, was he really stupid and incorrigible?

As soon as he thought of being stupid, Chai Hu felt sorry for his master, because in his opinion, Huang Lao never seemed to dislike him, but the more Huang Lao did not dislike him, and the more carefully he taught him, the more Chai Hu felt that he was useless.

Chai Hu's hands hanging down his sleeves began to tremble, if someone looked at him, they would find that he seemed to be in pain now, but now everyone's attention fell on Wu Zheng, who had the time to look at him.

The next three needles Wu Zheng stabbed well, and gradually found a feeling, and the stitches were more handy than the other.

When the four needles were completed, Huang Lao began to teach Wu Zheng to practice needles, there are several ways to perform needles, twisting needles is just one of them, but now according to Huang Lao, this is his old man's unique secret skill, not a personal disciple, he will not pass it on.

However, in Wu Zheng's opinion, isn't this twisting needle just pinching the needle butt and rubbing it back and forth? In later generations, it is not uncommon for people to do this, and there is also electroacupuncture, which is to leave the needle on the acupuncture point and connect the wire, and then pass the pulse current to stimulate it.

And I heard that it seems to have developed on the basis of this twisted needle, and now listening to Huang Lao's explanation, Wu Zheng realized that this twisted needle is not just a needle to rub in the hand, it is to divide the left and right.

According to the direction of the needle body twisting in the acupuncture points and the severity of the force, there are two techniques of tonic and laxative.

After the acupuncture is qi, twist it slightly at the place where the needle is qi, the thumb turns forward and left with heavy force, the finger force is heavy downward, and the thumb turns back to the right when the force is light, and repeated operations are called the tonic method.

After the acupuncture is deqi, twist a little at the place where the needle is deqi, and when the thumb turns back to the right, the force is heavy, and the finger force floats upward; When turning the thumb forward to the left, the force is light, and this repeated operation is called laxative.

The method of tonifying and laxative is also aimed at the disease of emptiness and reality, in short, it sounds very complicated and troublesome, if you want to explain these things here, then Li Si must be frozen to death.

Huang Lao also told Wu Zheng that it was similar to a wake-up call, and when he saw the look of doubt in Wu Zheng's eyes, Huang Lao felt that his goal had been achieved.

After Huang Lao demonstrated it to Wu Zheng, he asked Wu Zheng to follow it again, and then asked Wu Zheng to collect the needle.

In Wu Zheng's opinion, at this time, if the doctors of later generations would definitely take some alcohol to wipe the place where the needle was drawn, and it seems that the silver needle should also be disinfected before the needle is applied!

But looking at his master's appearance, he seems to have thought too much about it, and in the eyes of his old man, he obviously doesn't pay attention to these things at all.

When the last silver needle was taken away from Li Si's back, Wu Zheng found that Li Si's appearance was a little wrong, as if he had been poured chili peppers, and began to pant desperately.

Just when Wu Zheng looked at Huang Lao with a worried face, he heard a phlegm sound coming from Li Si's throat, and then he heard him spit out a mouthful of purulent phlegm, which couldn't be said to be a mouthful because it was a puddle on the ground.

The first person to feel sick to his stomach when he saw this disgusting thing was Seinfeld, and he immediately turned around and retched with the purlin, and then Wu Zheng's stomach twitched twice and couldn't help but turn around and start retching with Seinfeld.

But unlike Seinfeld, Wu Zheng was still worried about Li Si in his heart, and after retching twice, he turned around and asked Huang Lao: "Master, Brother Li was not pierced by me!" ”
