The eye is going to be unconscious. The tea guests said: "It's good that this kind of person dies, and the flying needle killer should kill his dog with one shot!" Ji Shikai had heard of Hong Yidao's heinous crime and evil as early as Suzhou Mansion, so he accosted him on the side: "Yes, this kind of person is wonderful when he dies!" It's also very happy! ”

When the tea guests heard Ji Shikai say this, someone asked: "Listen to Brother Tai's accent is from Suzhou?" Ji Shikai hurriedly said: "In Suzhou, Ji Shikai came here to investigate the case of the death of the flying needle, and I hope you will give me advice!" As soon as the tea guests heard that he was Ji Shikai, a famous doctor in Suzhou, they all gathered around, rolled up their sleeves and asked Ji Shikai to help them diagnose their pulse. Ji Shikai laughed and said: "Everyone, this is a teahouse instead of a medical hall, as long as everyone can help me solve the case, I will stay in Changshu for a year, I don't know if it's okay?" The tea guests suddenly became lively and offered advice to Ji Shikai.

One of the tea guests is the Changshu County Ya's work, he said to Ji Shikai that several acupuncture people have been checked after the acupuncture, but the acupuncture points are not consistent, he has also visited a number of local famous doctors, and learned that the acupuncture points are just ordinary acupuncture points, not the life-killing acupoints of folk legends, without the slightest subtlety.

Ji Shikai was shocked when he heard this, he had also asked the magistrate, township officials and others about the acupuncture points in their acupuncture, but because the time had passed, the wound had already healed, and they couldn't say the specific location. Today, Ji Shikai asked him to draw the acupuncture points of several people. And when he painted all the acupuncture points, Ji Shikai couldn't help frowning, because these acupuncture points are indeed ordinary, maybe the flying needle is not in the acupuncture points but in the needle. And a few flying needles Ji Shikai have already seen, which are commonly used by folk doctors for acupuncture and moxibustion, and there is nothing abnormal.

At this time, a tea guest said that Sun Ying, the magistrate of the county, was a corrupt official before he was hit by the needle, and he was corrupt and bribery was confused, and there were countless specific examples. Another tea guest also said that the village official Wang Chong was a cool official before the middle needle, occupying farmland, forcibly occupying people's daughters, and collecting harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes without blinking. Some people also say that businessman Liu Dezhong was a profiteer before, and it is common to use shoddy products and bully the market. But after a few of them were hit by the flying needle, they seemed to have changed as individuals, the county magistrate Sun Ying became honest and honest and loved the people like a son, the township official Wang Chong has recently reduced taxes and taxes, and often donates money to help refugees, while businessman Liu De has become sincere and duty-bound, and Tong Su is not bullied.

After Ji Shikai heard this, it seemed that he had finally found the purpose of this thief's flying needle to kill him, could it be that he smeared drugs on the flying needle that could make people abandon evil and follow good? The real purpose of the flying needle is not to take people's lives, but to ask people to give up their evil thoughts, change their evil and return to righteousness, and benefit the people? Ji Shikai told everyone what he thought, but he shook his head, saying that the flying needle was indeed to kill people, and the old bustard in the backstreet brothel died of a violent illness in the first month after the needle. Ji Shikai fell into confusion again, why is someone still alive when he is needled, and someone who is dead when he is needled? Ji Shikai is really puzzled.

After returning to the county office, Ji Shikai wanted to ask Sun Zhi why the county had changed so much before and after the needle, but he was afraid that he would not be able to get off the stage, so he had to give up. Ji Shikai said to Sun Ying that he wanted to go to check the pulse of the green forest thief Hong, and only in this way could he find out the location of the flying needle's life-killing point. Sun Ying was shocked, saying that Hong Yidao has always killed people without blinking, and he was afraid that there would be more luck and less luck in this way, so he advised Ji Shikai to bring more soldiers to go forward together, just in case. Ji Shikai said that taking the soldiers would arouse the suspicion of the thieves, so he rented a small boat and went alone.

Hong Yidao and his gang of thieves gathered on a small island in the lake north of Changshu, and never interacted with outsiders except to rob houses. The boat rented by Ji Shikai was stopped by thieves as soon as it reached the lake. When the thief heard that he was a famous doctor in Suzhou, Ji Shikai, he was overjoyed and invited him to the island to treat Hong Yidao. After going to the island, Ji Shikai saw the dying Hong Yidao in the Zhongyi Hall, and after some diagnosis, Ji Shikai was at a loss, because Hong Yidao's pulse was chaotic, and he couldn't know where the injury was.

Ji Shikai couldn't help sweating on his forehead, you must know that Hong Yidao is the leader of the bandits, and if he doesn't do it, he will let his head fall to the ground. And when Hong Yidao saw Ji Shikai's panicked face, he said: "Sir, don't worry, I Hong Yidao has done too much evil, it is really God's will to have this disease, sir, please go back!" Ji Shikai saw that Hong Yidao had the intention of death, so he told him about the flying needle killing the point, it seems that they have lived on the island for a long time and do not know about the outside world. After hearing this, Hong Yidao looked puzzled: "Is there such a miraculous thing in the world?" But how did the master get on the island? How did you know for sure that I had been killed? ”

Ji Shikai was stunned, because he was indeed hearsay. Hong Yidao smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, please go back, if I have three long and two short, I'm afraid Mr. won't be able to go back alive!" Before Ji Shikai left, he repeatedly told Hong Yidao's brother that if Hong died with a knife, he must not be buried immediately, in case he really fell into the flying needle and came back to life.

When the boat sailed to the lake, Ji Shikai realized that something was wrong, because Hong Yidao had always been tyrannical, how could he become so tolerant and generous today and let him go? Ji Shikai hurriedly ordered the boatman to drive the boat back, but before he turned his head, he saw the fire on the island. The boatman said: "Mr. Ji, you don't have to go back, Hong Yidao is already dead?" "It turns out that the thieves on the island have never had burial rites, and they are all disposed of by cremation after death. Ji Shikai secretly shouted that it was not good, and something big was going to happen. A few days later, as expected by Ji Shikai, the thieves on the island sneaked into Changshu City to kill people and set fire to them in order to help Hong take revenge. It turned out that when Hong Yidao was cremated, he suddenly turned over from the firewood, but it was too late, and he still died in the raging fire.

Sun Zhixian saw that things suddenly changed, so he blamed Ji Shikai for not doing things well, if he hadn't told the thief about the flying needle killing the hole, I'm afraid they would still be in the dark, thinking that it was Hong Yidao to deceive the corpse. Ji Shikai didn't argue, at this moment, the drum outside the county government suddenly sounded, and after a while, the official ran to say that there was a person outside the yamen who claimed to be a flying needle and came to surrender.

Ji Shikai and Sun Zhixian looked at each other, not knowing whether it was true or not, and after ascending to the court, the official brought the flying needle to the hall. Sun Zhixian patted the shocked wood and said sharply: "Who is kneeling in the hall?" Get your name in! And when the person who surrendered raised his head, Sun Zhixian gasped, it turned out that this person was Feng Dingkun, a famous local old Chinese medicine doctor.

Sun Zhixian hurriedly invited Feng Dingkun to the back hall and asked the reason. It turns out that Feng Dingkun is really a flying needle thief, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he is also the best at flying knife stunts. When Feng Dingkun grew up, he visited famous doctors to study medical skills, at first he studied medicine to support his family, but after many years of practicing medicine, Feng Dingkun experienced a lot, and was used to seeing the smell of wine and meat in Zhumen, and there were frozen bones on the road. And he, as a healer, couldn't do anything. Many patients died in front of him because they could not afford medicine, and many were starved to death because they were not sick. Feng Dingkun began to hate this cannibalistic world, but he couldn't change it. Once, he suddenly found that a patient seemed to have changed after experiencing a serious illness, becoming more tolerant, generous, and kind than before.

Feng Dingkun thought to himself, if you can find an acupuncture point that makes people fake their death, and let people experience life and death once, will it change people? So, he studied for several years and finally discovered the flying needle killing hole.

Ji Shikai asked Feng Dingkun, why are the acupuncture points different for each person? Why did the brothel bustard die of a violent illness after being shot? Feng Dingkun said that when he studied the flying needle to kill the acupoint, he was afraid of being used by the traitor and endangering the people, so he added internal force when applying the needle, and after the flying needle hit other acupuncture points in the human body, the internal force will continue to run in the human body, directly to the life-killing acupoint, and on the surface, it is impossible to know the location of the life-killing acupoint. The reason why the brothel bustard died of a violent illness was because she did not get good after recovering from a serious illness, and people are more likely to get carried away when they do bad things than ordinary people, so they often go retrograde and break through the life-killing points that have not yet healed, resulting in her death.

Sun Zhixian secretly rejoiced after hearing this, fortunately he was good in time after recovering from his illness, otherwise he would have been dead long ago. When Ji Shikai asked where Feng Dingkun's flying needle killing point was in the human body, Feng Dingkun kept silent. Ji Shikai smiled: "Brother Tai still can't believe me Ji Shikai?" Feng Dingkun sighed and said, "It's not that I can't trust you, but I'm afraid that it will cause you to be killed!" Brother Ji, it's better not to ask! Ji Shikai thought about it, and had no choice but to give up.

A few days later, after informing the Suzhou prefect, Sun Zhixian found a death row prisoner as a stand-in for Feng Dingkun, and dragged him to the execution ground to correct the law in public. The case of the flying needle killing the acupoint was settled, and Feng Dingkun was also taken back to Suzhou Mansion by Ji Shikai to protect him secretly.

A few years later, Feng Dingkun was killed at his residence, and the Suzhou prefect immediately sent someone to investigate the case thoroughly. Sun Ying, the magistrate of the county, and Ji Shikai, the famous doctor, were also arrested because they were the only ones who knew about the matter except the prefect of Suzhou. Just as the prefect of Suzhou was about to torture the two of them, the three people who killed Feng Dingkun suddenly turned themselves in, and they confessed the murder of Feng Dingkun. It turned out that they had been the officials of Changshu County before, and when they overheard the conversation between Ji Shikai and Feng Dingkun, they wanted to make a windfall by using the flying needle to kill the acupoint. Later, they resigned from their positions as government officials and followed Ji Shikai to Suzhou Mansion, and after several years of secret investigation, they finally discovered Feng Dingkun's hiding place.

And when they coerced Feng Dingkun to tell the location of the flying needle's life-killing point, Feng Dingkun would rather die than give in, just not to say it. The three of them were helpless and killed Feng Dingkun in the fight. And Feng Dingkun threw the last three flying needles at them when he was about to die, bringing the secret of the flying needle's life-killing point away from the world forever. And the three of them, after experiencing life and death in seven days, finally came to their senses and came to surrender.

Sun Ying and Ji Shikai sighed when they learned about this, but fortunately they didn't get to the bottom of it at that time. Feng Dingkun died, and the truth of the Flying Needle Killing Hole incident was finally made public, and the people were in an uproar. Since then, in some places in the south of the Yangtze River, there has been a custom that people can be buried seven days after death. Although the life-killing point has been lost, this custom has been maintained to this day, which is probably the result that Feng Dingkun did not expect until his death.
