His reaction made my grandfather's father very confused.

The Taoist priest explained: "Your son can directly see the meridians of the human body, he is really a genius, and what he draws with a brush on his body is the meridians of the human body", and my grandfather's father suddenly realized.

The Taoist priest finally persuaded my grandfather's father to let my grandfather study medicine with him. My grandfather's father also thought it was a good choice, since this kid didn't want to study, and he still had this kind of ability, and it was rare to meet a master with such superb medical skills, of course he couldn't miss it.

So my great-grandfather began his medical career.

It takes at least a few years for others to learn to touch the pulse, and at first they have to touch the pulse of the sheep, the pulse of the dog, and finally the human connection, and they must practice it repeatedly to gradually develop a sense of different pulses.

And for my grandfather, this qiē is so simple, I can feel different pulses, as if he is an innate talent, and there is almost no need to learn at all. And he also has a unique ability to blindfold his eyes, just by the pulse, he can determine who is the senior brother, for him, everyone's pulse is so different, just like everyone's appearance.

And even his Taoist master can't reach this realm.

But his strength lies not only in feeling the pulse, but in being able to quickly judge a person's physique characteristics from an angle that others can't imagine.

For example, just from a single character, he can tell whether the person who writes has a scoliosis in the spine, or where there is a problem with the meridian circulation. Another time, he quietly pointed to a patient and said to the master, "Master, that person's ribs are not strips, but connected together."

For the various judgments of his apprentices, the Taoist priest is very confident, he knows that his apprentices have such amazing talents. When he touched the patient's pulse, he was very surprised, because he had never touched such a strong pulse since he practiced medicine. Because in the process of studying medicine, he also touched the veins of various animals. He has touched and studied the veins of sheep, dogs, cows, horses, etc., and what is even more amazing is that he has even touched the veins of turtles and tigers.

According to so many years of medical practice and research, he found an interesting rule: all long-lived people have a bit of a similar pulse to that of a turtle. But he had never met a person whose pulse was as strong as the tiger's pulse, and the person he met today, who was judged by his apprentice to be a "rib", was the first person he met who was similar to the tiger's pulse.

When the Taoist priest was reading through the medical classics, he once read in a book, saying that Xiang Yu, the famous and unworthy king of Chu in history, had a pair of "plate ribs", that is, his entire rib was a plate, not like ordinary people, which were separated one by one.

And today, he actually met a person who was the same as the overlord of Chu, who had a pair of "ribs". This kind of person's body and energy, judging from the pulse just by the image, you can know how strong it is.

Later, the Taoist priest found out after diagnosis that the illness of this "fierce man" was actually just too strong yang energy and a stagnation of heart fire, and it was enough to prescribe a few doses of fire medicine.

There were many such incidents, and the Taoist priest became more and more satisfied with the apprentice he had accepted. But what everyone is in the dark is that the reason why this Taoist priest accepted my grandfather as an apprentice is actually for a reason that no one knows.

The Taoist priest had a very mysterious "sacrificial room" that no one was allowed to enter except him. Every morning and evening, he would go in and burn incense and pray. No one knew what was enshrined in it, and what he had to pray for every day.

When my grandfather was in his ninth year of studying medicine, one day, the Taoist priest called my grandfather to the mysterious "sacrificial room" and talked for a long time. My grandfather was the second person to enter that room besides the Taoist priest. No one knew what they were talking about, but later, people vaguely guessed that the conversation might have been a task for my grandfather.

What task? It was also a series of events that happened in the follow-up of Tongguò, and people guessed that the task of that time was actually to let my grandfather "fight" with a very powerful blind man. Some people are also very sure that the blind man of my grandfather's fighting method is actually the blind man who was famous for divination telling within a radius of 100 miles from us decades ago, and then for some reason, he disappeared from our area, and no one has known his whereabouts since.

I don't know how this Taoist priest found out, but the blind man actually didn't go far, but lived in seclusion on a mountain hundreds of miles away.

People don't know what kind of deep hatred there is between this Taoist priest and that blind man, and he actually made him work hard to train my grandfather for nearly ten years, just to avenge him. In the various versions of this matter that have been circulated, it is said that the priest once personally challenged the blind man, but he was defeated and almost lost his life.

My grandfather was only seventeen or eighteen years old at the time, but with his amazing talent, coupled with the words and deeds of Taoist priests for nearly ten years, he possessed extraordinary abilities in some aspects, which even Taoist priests could not match.

It is said that the blind man was also gifted, possessing unfathomable wisdom and all sorts of unknown abilities. For those who come to tell fortunes, he can know their good fortune and misfortune, their ins and outs at a casual glance, and this kind of cultivation is very high, which is the kind of "quiet pole and wisdom".

That is to say, when a person reaches a state of extreme "concentration", the potential of wisdom will also be released, so that he will have superhuman insight and foresight.

At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, a famous military general had this ability. Legend has it that he once, after settling down in his tent at night, he could feel that the enemy was planning a sneak attack, so he quickly got up and ordered his troops to prepare for battle at night to deal with the enemy's sneak attack at night.

Sure enough, on the night of the same day, the enemy really came to attack, but fortunately there were preparations in advance, so it not only frustrated the enemy's plan, but also severely damaged the enemy.

There was a scholar in the Ming Dynasty who also had this kind of cultivation.

This scholar, in addition to reading, meditates every day, for decades, without interruption. One year, when it was time to take the exam, everyone entered the field to take the test, he had always been keen on taking the test, but for some reason, he took the initiative to give up that year and did not take the exam, people thought he must be crazy and stupid: the exam is only once every three years, and after missing it, he has to wait for three years. studied so hard in order to gain fame, but when it came to the exam, he took the initiative to give up.

But something unexpected happened.

That year, a fire broke out in the local Gongyuan, and all the candidates who took the exam were burned to death, and none of them were spared, but this scholar survived because he did not take the exam. Later, it was also said that this scholar had reached the realm of "tranquility and wisdom", that is, he could foresee what was about to happen.

Obviously, that blind man also has such terrible abilities, even more so than that. In the face of such a formidable opponent, I am afraid it will be more difficult to deal with than thousands of troops.

Of course, this Taoist priest is not an idle person, in order to get rid of the blind man, he made a careful plan. First of all, what he wants to PK is that the blind man's amazing insight is what you think in your heart, and that blind man can see through it at a glance, this ability is terrifying.

How to deal with such a strong insight of a blind man?

The Taoist priest began to practice the ability to "control the mind".

The so-called "controlling the mind" is the ability to control one's own thoughts and thoughts. The Buddhist scriptures say that the most difficult thing in the world is to control one's own heart, the so-called "great general can command thousands of troops, but cannot control his own heart".

For the average person, the more they remind themselves not to think about something, they tend to think more; The more you try to block one of your thoughts, the more often that thought will appear.

And the Taoist priest's ability to "control the mind" is extremely perfect. He is free to close and open all the thoughts in his mind. The reason why I practice this kung fu is to deal with the blind man's insight, no matter how good your insight is, and that thought does not appear in my heart at all, then you will not be able to "perceive".

Before, the Taoist priest once had a senior brother with strong martial arts, who relied on his own bravery, and once went up the mountain alone to kill the blind man, but he did not expect that when he passed through a valley, he was smashed into a pulp by a boulder rolled down from the valley. Because the blind man had already "perceived" the intentions of this senior brother, and even the speed, position, and route of his walking were also clear, so on the road that the senior brother had to pass, a mechanism had already been set up, so the poor senior brother's martial arts could not be used, and he didn't even see the blind man's face, so he became a pile of meat paste.

Later, the Taoist priest's master lamented that for a figure like a blind man, relying on force alone has basically no effect. Therefore, in the process of repeatedly pondering how to get rid of the blind man, the Taoist priest gradually realized that if he wanted to get close to the blind man, he must first "hide" the idea of killing him in his heart as much as possible, that is, in the process of seeing and approaching the blind man, the less the idea of killing him appeared in his heart, the more difficult it was to be detected by the blind man.

This is absolutely impossible for ordinary people.

In order to deceive the blind man, the Taoist priest also did hard training, he imagined himself as a medicine farmer who collected medicine in the mountains, and weakened his true identity and purpose as much as possible until it was basically eliminated.

The Taoist priest spent two whole years doing this kind of mental practice, as well as the ability to control thoughts. In the end, he finally reached the Cheng dù of retracting and releasing freely.

In fact, this is also a kind of self-hypnosis, allowing yourself to believe from the bottom of your heart that you are another person.

As a result, the Taoist priest began to act as a medicine farmer, and in his heart, he could also completely regard himself as a medicine farmer and slowly approached the mountain where the blind man lived in seclusion.

In the process, the thought that he wanted to kill the blind man did not appear in his heart at all. He just imagined himself as a medicine farmer, and then he was going to go to a certain place to collect medicine, and that place might meet someone or something, etc., and the Taoist priest repeated these thoughts in his mind.
