Chapter 185: Forging Pulses through Tendons and Practicing Medicine with Acupuncture
Tang Cong closed the medicine box and reminded: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, we will definitely do our best to save Mrs. Zhang's illness."
It's just that at the moment, Mrs. Zhang's waist is seriously swollen, and her blood is not smooth, which affects many organs. At present, there is no good way, so I can only use medicine to slowly regulate and curb the further deterioration of the condition of the waist.
In addition, it is necessary to recuperate and rest all year round, never do heavy work, and never let the waist strain anymore. ”
When Zhang Yi'an heard this, he asked worriedly, "Then can my mother's illness be cured?" ”
"The most important thing for this perennial disease is to slow down its progression and reduce the pain and damage to the rest of the body.
In order to completely restore the lower back, it is necessary to remove the impurities and swelling in the meridians from the inside, and we do not have the ability to do so at present. Tang Cong said bluntly.
"Thank you, Dr. Tang, my mother will ask you." Zhang Yi'an bowed deeply.
The Lang Zhong who can practice medicine in the Gu family's medical hall are all experienced doctors in the nearby ten miles and eight townships, and if even they are helpless, my mother's disease may be difficult to cure.
"That's good, my waist is an old problem, as long as it doesn't hurt so much and doesn't hinder me from working." Mother Zhang said with great gratitude.
"Doctor Tang, how can my aunt's disease be completely cured?" Gu Shun stood up and asked.
"Less shopkeeper, Mrs. Zhang's waist meridians have been affected by inflammation and perennial illness, and have been severely oppressed and disturbed.
If you want to be completely cured, you need to completely remove the impurities in the meridians, but this is basically impossible. ”
This Tang Cong is a core member of the Ancient God Sect at the helmsman level, and he is also quite senior and well-informed. When he was just in the pulse, he secretly used his strength to investigate the condition in Zhang's mother's body.
If you want to cure Zhang's mother's waist, it is tantamount to completely dredge the meridians in her waist.
Dredging the meridians sounds simple, but looking at the entire rivers and lakes, there is no such exercise at all.
And among the famous doctors who are famous in the world, there is no one who can dredge the meridians. If there really was such a person, he might have been broken by countless martial arts people.
"Unblock the meridians, let me try." Gu Shun said confidently.
"Less shopkeeper, practicing medicine and healing is not a game, and you must not be sloppy. Dredging the meridians is something that even the martial artists and the world's famous doctors can't do, you are still too young, so don't try it. Tang Cong was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly dissuaded.
"My master taught me acupuncture, and I have also read a few medical books on my father's bookshelf, and I know a little bit about the method of using acupuncture in the meridians, and I am sure that it can be completely cured, at least it can greatly reduce my aunt's pain."
Faced with the young sect master's request, Tang Cong still compromised. He knew that it was the elders in the sect who were teaching the young sect master's martial arts now, black and white, and they were masters of using needles.
Maybe they really taught the young sect master some very powerful stitches.
But using acupuncture to unblock the meridians, can this really be achieved? Tang Cong's years of experience in practicing medicine still made him feel that this matter was very unreliable.
Through mind reading, Gu Shun still had doubts about himself when he saw Tang Cong and several other Lang Zhong who were traveling with him.
Of course, he didn't rely on a few needles to relieve his muscles.
His mother, Chu Xiuru, once used an improved technique on him, called Tongjin Forging Pulse. His mother used that exercise to completely open up the muscles and veins in his body, so that his cultivation speed improved by leaps and bounds.
And when his mother was using this exercise, the exercise mantra that she recited silently in her heart was also remembered by Gu Shun.
Since this exercise could be used to open up her own muscles and veins at that time, it could naturally also penetrate the blocked meridians in Zhang's mother's body, so that she would have a chance to heal completely.
Thinking of this, Gu Shun decided to give it a try, although he had never used this technique before, but because he had the talent for hanging up his cultivation, this technique of forging veins had been cultivated by him to the ultimate realm of returning to the basics, even if he was not familiar with it, but he was familiar with it, and there would definitely be no major problems.
Mother Zhang also said with great trust: "Just let the shopkeeper try, Yi'an and I are thanks to the help of the shopkeeper, my life is nothing, I believe in the ability of the shopkeeper." ”
Tang Cong had no choice but to agree when he heard this.
Zhang Yi'an helped Zhang's mother lie on the bed, while Gu Shun washed his hands with water, took the needle box handed by Tang Cong, and prepared to administer the needle.
"Idle people wait outside first, I'll just guard here." Tang Cong took the opportunity to pull out the other people in the room, in case he disturbed the young shopkeeper's needle, and at the same time, he was also afraid that the young shopkeeper would be recognized by others if he used any demonic exercises.
Even Zhang Yi'an was not spared, so he could only wait anxiously outside.
"Aunt Zhang, you hold back first, and you'll be fine soon."
After Gu Shun finished speaking, he stared at Zhang's mother's waist and back, and compared with the acupoints and meridian network locations recorded in the acupuncture and meridian strategy book in his memory, a meridian diagram running through the whole body gradually appeared in front of his eyes.
Gu Shun quickly pinpointed the acupuncture points where the needles were used.
At the same time, both hands did not stop, one hand pressed the needle box with silver needles, and the other hand swept from left to right, and four acupuncture-specific chan needles were inserted between the five fingers together.
The needle is different from the silver needle used by Gu Shun using the Xingshu needle method or the Xuehai Flying Needle method, it is a needle shape with a thick top and thin bottom, the needle handle is slightly wider, which is convenient for using the needle and taking the needle, and the needle tip is as thin as a cow's hair, which can minimize the contact area between the needle tip and the skin, thereby reducing the pain.
You must know that this is a martial arts world, although all kinds of martial arts, strength and other things are very powerful, but technology is not developed, so there is no such material as stainless steel, and the smelting of steel is also extremely primitive and backward.
To forge the needle so finely, it takes countless times of polishing and polishing by the craftsman, and it takes as much effort as grinding an iron pestle into a needle.
Therefore, the price of these needles is naturally extremely expensive.
In addition, the history of the needle is also extremely long, as early as the period of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors has appeared and used, as one of the nine needles, appeared in the Yellow Emperor's Neijing Lingshu chapter, which must be read in medicine.
Gu Shun raised his arm slightly, and then threw the four needles in his hand at the same time.
The needle was suddenly inserted into Zhang's mother's waist.
This scene made Tang Cong almost scream out, calling you acupuncture, not using needles to kill people, whoever uses needles for patients throws all the needles out in one go.
But when Tang Cong took a closer look at the four needles inserted on Zhang's mother's back, he suddenly found that the position of each needle perfectly corresponded to several key acupoint positions, and the distance between each needle and the skin remained surprisingly consistent.
Obviously, where and how deep each needle should be inserted is carefully calculated.
A little deeper or shallower will greatly reduce the effect.
He had practiced medicine in the Ancient God Sect for so many years, and had been in the Central Plains for so long, it was the first time he had seen this method of using needles, and he couldn't help but admire Gu Shun greatly.
The young sect master is young, and his attainments in acupuncture are so superb. Could it be that the black and white elders are also proficient in medical methods, otherwise with the young sect master's acupuncture and understanding of the human body's meridians, I am ashamed of it.
Gu Shun didn't care about Tang Cong's adoring look beside him, and raised his hand and inserted four needles into Zhang's mother's waist.
"Aunt Zhang, how are you feeling now?"
"I don't feel as painful as I did just now, and the acupuncture of the shopkeeper is really useful."
"Aunt Zhang, don't worry, I'll help you walk the needle now and see if you can force out the blockage in the meridians."
