Volume 1: Apprentice Onmyoji Chapter 12: Needle Casting

After Xu Shiying lay down, Li Ruoshui first boiled a pot of hot water and threw the white towel into the kettle, and then took out a white jade plate from the toolbox next to the bed, which was similar to the jade plate used in gua sha physiotherapy, but it was a little bigger than it.

Different from gua sha, this white jade plate was soaked in a black potion by Li Ruoshui, and after heating it over medium heat, he took out the white jade plate, Li Ruoshui took a deep breath, and slowly used the white jade plate to evenly smear the entire back with the black potion, and wiped it over and over again, and the skin on his back was almost red and on fire.

Xu Shiying endured the hot pain in his back, as if someone had applied a thick layer of chili oil to his back, not to mention how 'cool' it was.

Li Ruoshui's speed of applying the potion is getting faster and faster, if it was just slowing down to warm up before, then now it has just entered the climax, Xu Shiying's back is smeared with the pitch-black potion, as the goosebumps on the skin become more and more obvious, and the skin of the toad has to fight.

Although his forehead was covered with cold sweat in pain, Xu Shiying still didn't say a word, Li Ruoshui couldn't help but glance at him, but the speed of applying medicine in his hand did not slow down at all.

Twenty minutes later, a box of potions was about to bottom out, Li Ruoshui gradually slowed down, when the potion was completely used up, Li Ruoshui stopped, took out the white towel in the kettle, and it was not too hot.

The white towel was spread flat on his back, and the hot Xu Shiying almost screamed, and a black potion mixed with blood flowed on his back, and strangely, the potion did not fall to the ground. Instead, it was absorbed by the skin, and when Li Ruoshui moved the white towel, the skin of that piece turned completely red.

After Li Ruoshui wiped the skin of the entire back, the entire skin on the back turned white, and the white skin could be tender, and then she took out the acupuncture bag from the tool box and spread it out in front of the bed, revealing all kinds of silver needles, heating and disinfecting them one by one.

Li Ruoshui took out the tattoo drawings and thought for a while, and began to put down the needle, the needle movement requires professional techniques, and it can't be tied casually.

After getting the needle on each acupuncture point on the back, Li Ruoshui began to follow the drawing pattern, the process of getting the needle is extremely complicated, and the seemingly disorderly needle actually contains Zhou Yi Bagua, not so much in tattoos, but in accordance with the way of Zhou Yi Bagua.

Li Ruoshui's technique is old-fashioned, compared to the previous application of the potion, Xu Shiying did not feel the slightest pain in the process of putting the needle, and after a while, the entire back was full of silver needles, like a hedgehog.

Unconsciously, because it was too comfortable, Xu Shiying actually fell asleep, and soon there was a snoring sound, Li Ruoshui was not affected, the needle work continued, and he took out the longest silver needle in the silver needle bag, about twelve centimeters in length, and gently pierced the neck with only less than one centimeter of needle.

Looking from the mirror, Xu Shiying's back looked a little terrifying, especially the twelve-centimeter-long silver needle on his neck, the silver needle was deeply pierced into his neck, if Xu Shiying woke up and could see the condition of his back, I don't know if he would feel scared.

Li Ruoshui continued to put down the needle, the technique was light and wonderful, and this time, while pulling and pricking, during the period with the thumb and little finger to hold down the needle place with a wonderful technique, so busy for most of the day, in addition to the silver needle on the acupuncture point, the other silver needles have already been pulled out.

Xu Shiying's back was not only not bleeding except for the redness, but not even a single wound could be left on the skin.

After being busy, Li Ruoshui was so tired that he sat motionless on the chair, Xu Shiying fell asleep quietly, not affected at all, Xu Shiying in his sleep seemed to take off the mask on his face called 'society', but he was only twenty-six or seventeen, and he needed to endure too much to survive in society, but he was like an angel in his sleep.

Looking at the sleeping Xu Shiying, Li Ruoshui couldn't help but be stupid, originally she was teasing him with a playful heart, but now she actually heard her own pounding heartbeat.

Could it be that the old lady is really in love?

Li Ruoshui wanted to touch Xu Shiying's hair to try her touch, she had always been not afraid of heaven and earth, but she didn't have a trace of timidity, and the thought of whether he would be angry flashed in her mind.

"It's strange, is the old lady sick? Otherwise, how can there be a messy idea. ”

Li Ruoshui kept shaking her head, wanting to get rid of the messy thoughts in her mind, but the more she shook it, the more she thought about it, especially when she thought of Xu Shiying's slightly immature white cheeks, always wanting pictures that were inappropriate for children, her face was rarely red, like a ripe apple.

Just when she was thinking nonsense, Wang Sen walked into the house with a large bag of things in his hand and said, "Miss, this is the medicinal material you want, I have contacted countless friends and spent countless spirit stones, and I finally got it for you, you can order it." ”

Wang Sen placed the bag full of large bags of medicinal herbs against the wall, and happened to see Li Ruoshui's red cheeks, and couldn't help but be curious: "Is this sick?" Why do you blush like the newly launched Big Apple? ”

"Get out!"

Li Ruoshui's eyes widened, Wang Sen was immediately so frightened that he didn't dare to speak anymore, although so many years have passed, she is still so domineering, I really don't know which man can enjoy her in the future, and sympathize with the man she likes.

Xu Shiying, who was asleep, suddenly sneezed, startling the two of them, Wang Sen and Li Ruoshui glanced at each other, the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, neither of them spoke, Wang Sen secretly glanced at Li Ruoshui and Xu Shiying from time to time, and muttered secretly in his heart, "These two people, Ya, shouldn't be approved by me?" ”

The domineering Li Ruoshui took the lead in breaking the embarrassing situation, glanced at Xu Shiying's back, the blood gradually dissipated, moved the silver needle pierced in the acupuncture point, and then pointed to the medicinal herbs placed against the wall and said to Wang Sen: "Go and boil a pot of hot water, and then put these medicinal materials into the steaming bucket in the order of the list I gave you, you should know where the steaming bucket is, right?" ”

Wang Sen nodded and said that he knew that this matter was related to his brother's life, and he didn't need Li Ruoshui's instructions, so he took the initiative to go downstairs to the basement to boil hot water with a large bag of medicinal herbs.

The silver needle should not be pierced in the same position for a long time, otherwise it will have some impact on the body function, and the mild case will have symptoms of cold and fever, and the heavy case is likely to become a vegetative person.

After Wang Sen left, Li Ruoshui adjusted the position of the silver needle from time to time to grasp the depth of the silver needle piercing into the body, as for the longest silver needle on the neck, Li Ruoshui never moved it once, it seems that the silver needle on the neck is the center of the whole needle process.

Li Ruoshui's tattoo technique is qualitatively different from ordinary tattoos, usually tattoo artists draw a pattern on the body through modern technology, and when she tattooed Xu Shiying, she combined medicine and Zhou Yi gossip to hide the way of heaven and earth, the whole process looks mysterious and mysterious.

Just now, the needle did not leave even the slightest scar on the skin, she is a well-deserved tattoo master in the White Bear City, but this is only the first step.

Next, Wang Sen filled the barrel with hot water in the basement of less than fifteen square meters, and wanted to call Li Ruoshui and ask her to send Xu Shiying down, but then he thought about it, with the temper of this eldest lady, how could he listen to her words and carry off the young man of one hundred and ten catties.

In the end, Wang Sen still took the elevator back to the tattoo parlor, Li Ruoshui had been waiting for a long time at the door of the store, in order to avoid the temperature of the hot water from dropping, in vain, Li Ruoshui did not let Wang Sen rest for a moment, and before he could take a breath, he asked Wang Sen to carry Xu Shiying downstairs to the basement.

Wang Sen rolled his eyes, and sure enough, the ending was the same as he thought, at this moment, the old beggar came back with two pigeons, and when he saw the two at the door, he smiled and said, "Old man, I didn't come back late, right?" ”

Seeing the old beggar, Wang Sen hurriedly handed over the heavy responsibility of carrying the tenth battalion to him, and the old beggar readily agreed. Li Ruoshui pulled out the silver needles on all the acupuncture points except for his neck, and then blushed and dressed Xu Shiying, and rubbed the oil with satisfaction. The old beggar carried Xu Shiying on his back, and the group went to the basement.

Basement.

Wang Sen carefully put Xu Shiying into the wooden barrel, and as soon as his body came into contact with the potion, he saw that the place on Xu Shiying's shoulder that had been touched by the ghost was emitting white smoke and making a Sisi sound.

Seeing that the potion was so effective, it could still work on the ghost qi, and he hurriedly put Xu Shiying's entire body into the wooden barrel smoothly, with a happy smile on his face, and gave Li Ruoshui a thumbs up.

Li Ruoshui ignored it, probed the water temperature with his hand, frowned and looked at Wang Sen and said: "The water temperature is too low, continue to add hot water to the bucket to ensure that the water temperature cannot be lower than 40 degrees within an hour, otherwise it will be difficult for the body to absorb the effect of the herb." ”

Wang Sen said that he understood, and immediately went to work, Li Ruoshui asked the old beggar to put the pigeon in the cage first, and wait for an hour before using it, what is needed now is to wait quietly.

Li Ruoshui took out a special brush, as well as a rooster feather and a black seal, the old beggar's eyes lit up when he saw the seal, and he had a little guess about Li Ruoshui's identity......

The process of waiting is torturous, in this hour, Wang Sen kept changing the water and adding water, the temperature is too high will cause problems, too low to achieve the effect of decomposing the effect, it is difficult to grasp the scale.

The old beggar sat leisurely, and did not know where in the room he turned out half a bottle of wine, and sat down to drink to himself. Li Ruoshui needed to test the water temperature and add medicinal materials from time to time, and he didn't care about losing his temper for a while, and the sweat on his forehead was dripping down.

An hour is not long, but it is not short, Xu Shiying's skin is very ruddy when he is soaked in the wooden barrel, especially the black gas on his shoulders is much smaller, only the size of a baby's fist is left, he looked up at the time, and when the time for the needle was up, Li Ruoshui drove Wang Sen and the old beggar out.

Wang Sen was puzzled and wanted to stay in the house to watch the tattoo process, but the old beggar was an understanding person, pulled Wang Sen out of the basement, closed the door with his hand, and the two went to the nearby park and woods for a walk.
