Chapter 85: Temptation

It didn't take long for a line of luxury motorcades to come from a distance in the eyes of the spies who were monitoring the perimeter of Ling's pharmacy, and they heard it; At the door of Ling's pharmacy, Pepper, escorted by a group of bodyguards, got out of the car, and after glancing around, Pepper walked into the pharmacy that had just been opened.

"Hello, Mr. Ling!" Accompanied by two bodyguards, Pepper entered the pharmacy and saw Ling Xiao, who had been waiting in the pharmacy for a long time.

"Hello, Miss Pepper, please be seated." Ling Xiao ushered Pepper to the tea party and poured her a cup of tea himself.

"Thank you, Mr. Ling." Pepper nodded at Ling Xiao, took a sip of tea, and then praised with a smile: "Yes, good tea." ”

Ling Xiao smiled slightly, just from the way Pepper held the teacup, Ling Xiao could tell that she didn't understand the tea ceremony at all. Pepper refilled a cup of tea again, and Ling Xiao said with a smile: "Miss Pepper, do you really want to sit on youth recovery?" ”

"Hmm!" Pepper nodded without hesitation, looked at Ling Xiao and said with a serious face: "That's right, do it today, do it now." ”

"Okay then." There is no reason for Ling Xiao to push out the business that is delivered to his door, and borrowing the name of Stark Group can also deter some people.

After speaking, Ling Xiao stood up and faced Pepper and said, "Okay, let's go up to the second floor, there is a special recuperation room there." ”

"Hmm!" Pepper didn't refuse, she followed Ling Xiao and walked towards the second floor, and a female bodyguard quickly followed.

Ling Xiao frowned slightly, and whispered to Pepper: "After a while, I need to let your bodyguard out, I don't want anyone to reveal my massage techniques." ”

"I know, I'll keep her outside the door as soon as it starts." Pepper understands Ling Xiao's concerns, these are his personal secrets, and they can't be revealed to the outside world, of course, if Pepper insists, it will take a few more years, maybe Ling Xiao will agree, of course, this is only Pepper's own thoughts. And he didn't do it either, because she herself had some private questions to ask Ling Xiao for.

After entering the recuperation room, Ling Xiao said to Pepper, "You change your clothes first, and we'll officially start in a while." ”

With that, Ling Xiao handed Pepper a set of massage clothes and a bath towel from the cabinet next to him, and then walked out.

Closing the door with his hand, Ling Xiao took out a small bottle of diluted Tai*** water from the safe, and at the same time took out his own set of needles, and then began to disinfect with alcohol. This set of needles includes nine kinds of needles: hammer needle, magnetic round needle, hammer needle, hook needle, beryllium needle, plum blossom needle, fire needle, milli needle, and triangular needle.

The acupuncture technique that Ling Xiao knew was actually the Lingshu acupuncture technique learned from an old Chinese medicine doctor, and this set of formations came from the ancient scripture "Lingshu Sutra".

"Lingshu", also known as "Huangdi Neijing, Lingshu", mainly discusses the viscera, meridians, etiology, pathogenesis, disease syndrome, diagnosis and other contents, and also focuses on the meridians and acupoints, acupuncture, acupuncture and treatment principles, etc., which is the basic theoretical work that many Chinese medicine practitioners in China need to master.

Ling Xiao originally only learned the formations in the Lingshu Sutra, but gradually extended to most of the medical skills contained in it, especially the meridians, which was of great help to his practice.

Moreover, this set of stitches can also be used by Ling Xiao against the enemy, and in some special cases, it can work wonders.

When Ling Xiao had made all the preparations, Pepper's bodyguard also walked over from inside, nodded lightly at Ling Xiao, and signaled that he could go in.

Ling Xiao packed up his things, pushed open the door of the recuperation city and walked in. At this time, Pepper was already lying on the massage table, and it could be seen that she had not experienced this method of massage once or twice.

Ling Xiao put down the things in his hand, first cleaned his hands with warm water, and then dried them before walking to Pepper's side and massaging her.

"Ling, can I ask you some questions?" Pepper, who was lying there enjoying Ling Xiao's special massage, suddenly asked a question.

"What's the matter, you say." Ling Xiao seriously massaged the acupuncture points, meridians and muscles on Pepper's back.

He has always been a serious person, as long as he takes over the work, he will not be perfunctory, and he can earn 100,000 US dollars for such a massage, which is already very good for Ling Xiao. Although he now has millions of dollars in cash, this money is used for emergency purposes, and although he also has a lot of income in the stock market, he is still trapped in the stock market, and he will not be able to take it out at all for a while.

"Ling, if a person has a heart problem, can it be solved by means of traditional Chinese medicine?" Pepper asked, seemingly casually, with her eyes closed.

"Oh?" Ling Xiao pressed the hand behind Pepper's back and couldn't help but pause slightly, it turned out that it was because of this, no wonder Pepper would suddenly come to the door, it seemed that the relationship between her and Tony Stark was getting closer and closer.

Taking a deep breath, Ling Xiao said calmly: "It depends on the specific situation, Chinese medicine is broad and profound, inherited for thousands of years, theoretically speaking, there is no disease that cannot be cured, but our descendants are not proficient in learning, and many medical skills have been lost for thousands of years, so it is now declining." ”

"Oh, is Chinese medicine so powerful?" Pepper glanced back at Ling Xiao in disbelief.

"Can you imagine that 2,000 years ago, there were already masters of Chinese medicine who performed craniotomy?" Ling Xiao smiled lightly and said, "As long as you ask a random person from across the Pacific Ocean, they can tell the answer." ”

The pride in Ling Xiao's words was overflowing, although it was said that traditional Chinese medicine was becoming more and more suspicious even in the land of China, but it could not be denied that the medical techniques that had been passed down for so long had saved many lives in thousands of years.

"So heart diseases can also be treated by Chinese medicine?" Pepper's eyes couldn't help but light up.

"It depends on the condition." Ling Xiao stopped massaging his hand and explained to Pepper in a deep voice: "The symptoms of the same condition are different in different patients, and the same symptoms in different people are not necessarily the same condition, so the specific situation needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis." Heart problems are generally divided into two categories: congenital and acquired, with congenital conditions requiring slow recuperation and acquired conditions requiring surgery to assist in treatment. ”

"Do I still need heart surgery?" After listening to Ling Xiao's last words, Pepper couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

"It's okay without surgery, but at most it can only delay the disease, but it can't completely cure it." Ling Xiao said with great certainty.

In Tony Stark's case, it is difficult to completely solve his heart problems, which are not only the problem of heart surgery, but also the impact of blood flow on the operation, and the problem of poisoning, which is very troublesome and dangerous.

"I see." Pepper nodded a little disappointed, it seemed that even the methods of Chinese medicine could not achieve her goal. Pepper had heard Michaela Baines talk about the magic of acupuncture, so she came to the door and tried to use acupuncture to help Stark heal her condition without surgery.

Pepper has consulted many people very vaguely about this kind of thing, and a few of them are shrewd doctors can imagine, which should have some unexplained relationship with Tony Stark, but after all, he has not seen the patient himself, and it is not easy to say the specifics, and due to the confidentiality regulations, everyone will not talk about the questions Pepper asked.

Ling Xiao is naturally the same, to be honest, for Tony Stark's situation, in the future, the shrapnel near the heart can no longer threaten his life for the time being, what threatens him is actually palladium poisoning, which involves S.H.I.E.L.D., so he doesn't want to be involved in these troubles.

After doing youth restoration, Pepper stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror and looked at her new self in disbelief, she really couldn't believe that she had become so young all of a sudden.

After sending Pepper and his party away, Ling Xiao returned to the pharmacy, then pulled down the roller shutter door and hung up a sign that was temporarily closed, with a clear attitude.
