Chapter 862: The Secret Door
The three of them had already rehearsed before coming here, and after meeting Cao Mulan, it was Yan Hong's turn to sing the leading role.
Yan Hong took out the letter written by his uncle Yuanrong: "Mr. Cao, my uncle wrote a letter and wanted me to hand it over to the door owner." ”
Cao Mulan said indifferently: "I can help you transfer it." ”
Hua Zhuyue's heart moved, it seemed that the rumors of Xiahou Zun's death were not true, otherwise Cao Mulan would not have said such a thing.
Yan Hong glanced at Xu Chunliang, and his uncle explained that he had to hand it over to Xiahou Zun himself.
Xu Chunliang secretly scolded this waste, what do you do? The discerning person knew at a glance that he was asking for his opinion, Xu Chunliang lowered his head and continued to drink tea, ignoring Yan Hong's gaze.
Yan Hong said: "Mr. Cao, I'm sorry, I have to hand over this letter to the door master." ”
Cao Mulan said: "Mr. Yan has escaped into the empty door, not my tired people, if you insist on doing this, you should go back." "What she means is that you can give or not give a mellow face, and if you don't listen to my rules here, we don't need to talk about it.
Yan Hong pursed his lips, he thought that it would be easy to meet Xiahou Zun with his uncle's letter, but he didn't expect to encounter difficulties at the beginning, and he couldn't help but glance at Xu Chunliang again.
Cao Mulan's gaze also turned to Xu Chunliang: "What do you think?" Xu Chunliang's judgment was right, Yan Hong's performance was really seen through by her, and Xu Chunliang was the protagonist tonight.
Xu Chunliang said: "It's okay for Mr. Cao to hand it over." ”
Yan Hong then handed the letter to the girl dressed as a maid, and the girl presented the letter to Cao Mulan, who reached out and took it, picked up a two-inch long ring-headed small copper knife from the case, and opened the letter.
It was too late for Yan Hong to stop it, and his uncle specially explained that the letter had to be opened by Xiahou Zun himself, and this Cao Mulan was too unruly, and even dared to open the letter from the door master.
Xu Chunliang noticed that the tools she used were all antiquities, and the action of opening the letter was crisp and neat, and proficiency was one thing, and it could be seen that she had specialized in swordsmanship, and a master like Xu Chunliang was good at discovering mysteries from the details.
After Cao Mulan read it, her brows furrowed: "It turns out that the three of you were plotted by someone?" ”
Yan Hong nodded and said, "Yes!" ”
Cao Mulan said: "Who is so bold as to dare to attack a tired person? ”
Yan Hong glanced at Xu Chunliang again, and was about to answer, Cao Mulan pointed at Xu Chunliang and said, "You say!" ”
Xu Chunliang said: "His name is Xu Chunliang." ”
"Xu Chunliang? I've never heard of him, is he amazing? Cao Mulan's expression was full of disdain.
Yan Hong said: "It's very powerful, he planted poisonous needles in our meridian acupoints, called ...... What is it called the Autumn Death Needle, and it is also said that this poisonous needle will slowly move in our meridians over time, and the three of us have at most half a year to live, and it will be worse than death in this half a year, and it will be painful to live...... "This remark is extremely smooth after all, it is the truth.
Yan Hong peeked at Xu Chunliang from the corner of his eye again, and secretly hated in his heart, this person's methods were too vicious.
Cao Mulan snorted coldly and said, "I have never heard of the Autumn Death Needle. ”
Hua Zhuyue said: "Just because Mr. Cao hasn't heard of it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. ”
Cao Mulan looked at Hua Zhuyue and said, "When is it your turn to speak here?" ”
Yan Hong said: "Don't blame Mr. Cao, we really have no way to ask the door master for help, and I hope that Mr. Cao will open up." ”
Cao Mulan said: "Don't worry, since it is entrusted by Mr. Yan personally, I will definitely report this matter to the door owner truthfully, it is too late today, the three of them must be tired, I have a guest room here for rest, the three of them just rest assured for one night, I will give you an answer early tomorrow morning, I don't know what to do?" ”
Yan Hong subconsciously glanced at Xu Chunliang again.
Xu Chunliang secretly scolded this guy for being a fool, now that he was exposed, Cao Mulan must have known that he was the one who took the lead.
Xu Chunliang said: "I am waiting for the strange poison in my body to be in danger, and I hope that Mr. Cao will read it for the sake of the same door, open the net, and hand over this letter to the master of the door as soon as possible." ”
Cao Mulan smiled and said, "Strange poison? I'm a little curious, if you don't mind, I can help you get a free pulse check. ”
Xu Chunliang came to sit down opposite Cao Mulan and handed over his right hand.
The inch-mouth vein can be divided into inch, guan, and ulnar three, usually marked by the radial styloid process behind the wrist, and its medial part is closed, the front of the guan is the inch, and the back is the ruler, and the three parts of the inch-off can be floating, medium, and sinking, which is the three parts and nine candidates of the inch-mouth diagnosis method.
Throughout the ages, the method of diagnosing the pulse has never deviated from its origins.
Cao Mulan used her left hand to diagnose Xu Chunliang's right hand and her right hand to diagnose the patient's left hand, with the ends of the three fingers flush and the fingers slightly arched and inclined, at an angle of about 45 degrees to Xu Chunliang's body surface.
In the designated pass, use the index finger to press the inch before the pass, use the ring finger to press the ruler after the pass, the cloth finger is sparse and appropriate, and the expert will know whether there is one or not, Xu Chunliang knows that Cao Mulan's medical skills are not low at a glance.
Cao Mulan is skillful and precise in all kinds of techniques.
At present, the distribution of viscera is based on the principle of "upper than above" and "lower than lower" in the "Neijing", to divide the viscera divided into three parts: the left inch waits for the heart, the right inch waits for the lungs, and the diseases above the chest and head are overalled; The left side is for the liver and gallbladder, the right side is for the spleen and stomach, and the diseases below the diaphragm and above the umbilicus are overall. Two-foot kidney disease, and includes diseases from below the umbilicus to the feet.
Xu Chunliang was damaged last night because he forcibly suspended the realm of selflessness, and it would take time to repair it, so he deliberately tested Cao Mulan's medical skills.
Cao Mulan pressed the steps, her technique was extremely skillful, the two sword eyebrows were almost knotted together, and she said in a low voice: "Your meridians have just been injured?" ”
Xu Chunliang secretly praised that he could judge that his meridians were damaged from his pulse alone, and Cao Mulan's level in pulse diagnosis has far surpassed that of experts and scholars in this field.
Xu Chunliang said: "I was slapped by the surname Xu, and blood was sprayed on the spot, and then I felt that the meridians of my whole body were broken, and I thought it was because of this." ”
Cao Mulan found that Xu Chunliang's pulse was extremely strange, with different speeds, sometimes one breath and eight solstices, sometimes one breath and two solstices, long and short pulses alternately, large veins and thin veins mixed, and the strength of the pulse varied.
Fifty movements of the normal pulse diagnosis is almost the same, Cao Mulan has diagnosed one hundred and fifty movements, and still can't judge what the crux of his problem is from Xu Chunliang's pulse.
Cao Mulan's hand finally left Xu Chunliang's wrist, and she also judged that Xu Chunliang's meridians were damaged, and as for what caused such a complex vein, she did not make a conclusion for a while.
Xu Chunliang's pulse was purely controlled by him, pretending to be worried: "Mr. Cao, what do you think of my situation?" ”
Cao Mulan gave Xu Chunliang four words: "Not optimistic." ”
Xu Chunliang said: "What does Mr. Cao mean is that I am more auspicious and less lucky? ”
Cao Mulan sighed and said, "Forgive me for being a shallow learner, I have never seen such a strange pulse from you." ”
Despite Yan Hong's sincerity, Cao Mulan refused their request to meet Xiahou Zun that night, and she asked her subordinates to arrange for the three of them to rest.
I don't know if it was deliberately arranged, but Xu Chunliang and Hua were arranged in a room month by month.
Xu Chunliang looked at the big bed in the room and said, "Sister Hua, it seems that you and I will be squeezed tonight." ”
Hua Zhuyue gave him a look, reminding him to be vigilant, first checked the room, and made sure that there was no monitoring equipment before whispering in his ear: "I always feel strange here. ”
Xu Chunliang said: "Whatever, let's sleep first, do you think there will be a public security inspection at night?" ”
Hua Zhuyue giggled, "So you'd better settle down." ”
In Baicao Building, Cao Mulan closed the door, she was the only one left in the room, she slowly walked to the bookshelf on the side, stretched out her hand and moved two of the books successively, these two books are the mechanism to activate the secret door, the bookshelf slowly moved open, revealing the iron door behind, Cao Mulan pressed the password next to the door, and the iron door moved.
Cao Mulan entered the elevator at the rear and pressed B2.
After stepping out of the elevator, I walked along the passage of orange lights for more than fifty meters and entered an arched space, although it was deep underground, the air was not dull, and there was a fragrance of medicinal herbs everywhere.
An old man in a gray linen Tang costume with a white beard sat cross-legged on a futon and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Cao Mulan didn't bother him immediately, but stood aside and looked at the pages on the bookcase, which were full of dense symbols.
The old man breathed a sigh of relief, opened his eyes and said, "Mulan, why did you come here so late?" ”
Cao Mulan said: "Father, there are three uninvited guests who want to see you tonight. "This old man is her father, Xiahou Zun.
Xiahou Zun refused without thinking about it: "No! ”
Cao Mulan handed the letter that Yan Hong had brought to her father.
Xiahou Zun took the letter and read it, and said in a deep voice: "There is still a poison that Yan Wuyue can't solve?" ”
Cao Mulan said: "It is said to be the last shot after the autumn." ”
Xiahou Zun shook his head and said, "Impossible! ”
Cao Mulan said: "I have ascertained the identities of these three people, one is Yan Wuyue's nephew Yan Hong, one is Dongzhou Xu Chunliang, and the other is the flower of the Orchid Gate. ”
Xiahou Zun said: "Flowers by month? Is it the flower of martial aid and righteous hatred month by month? ”
"It's the actual controller of her Orchid Gate now."
Xiahou Zun said: "We have nothing to do with the Orchid Sect, and Wu Yuanyi and Hua Zhuyue are also purely private hatred, what are they coming to me for?" ”
Cao Mulan said: "I specially observed it just now, that Yan Hongliu showed a lot of flaws, obviously coerced by the other two, but this Xu Chunliang's pulse is very strange, I have never seen such a pulse." ”
Xiahou Zun said: "There are also pulses that you haven't seen." ”
Cao Mulan said: "Father, didn't you say that a true master can control the pulse as he wants. ”
Xiahou Zun said: "How big is this Xu Chunliang?" ”
"Early twenties."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Cao Mulan said: "If my father doesn't believe it, you can see it for yourself." ”
