Chapter 29: The "Ghost Stonemason" at the Inner Gate of the Xian Family
At the time of the Shang War, the people in Panlong City who were related to the Xian family disappeared overnight, and the family completely withdrew from people's vision.
"If you need it, the old man can help you contact the people of the Xian family in Panlong City." Song Gong said.
His elder brother succeeded to the throne at the age of twenty, eleven years for the Shang princes, and Ke Yin spent seven years.
Gong Gong found the Xian family in Panlong City twenty years ago, in order to cure the disease.
When he was young, he was still slightly bloated, and he was on his brother's side for a long time, but I don't know if it was due to long-term standing, his legs always had a lingering feeling of heaviness and soreness, at first he didn't care, and it could be relieved after a while, but then the massage did not work, and then it was heavy at night, light in the morning, and a "green tendon" did not know when it had been quietly meandering on his calves......
Later, a doctor with a crane hair and a childish face asked him to lose weight, and also made him a few elastic long bands on the calf, and told him that if the saphenous vein was completely withdrawn from the ankle to the root of the thigh, and the "green tendon" at the calf was removed, his disease could be completely cured, and the disadvantage was that there would be bleeding.
And just as he begged the ulcer doctor to give it a try, the ulcer doctor stroked his beard and said, "I'm just a medical student who has been trained for a year, and I'm not an iron striker." ”
Unable to resist his intermittent pleadings, the old ulcer doctor described in detail the kind of knife that could be called an "artifact": unprecedentedly sharp, as light as possible.
The old ulcer doctor just left a bag and disappeared without a trace.
And a few words were written crookedly on the white silk in that bag:
"It's okay to take two steps."
But he searched for five whole years before he found some traces of the Xian family in Panlong City. Just because someone said, "Smelt fine copper, grind stone, and burn hard pottery." "The three secret skills of the inner door of the Xian family, only the "grinding stone" skill can make the blade he wants.
There are ghost stonemasons in the Xian family, and the so-called "ghost stonemasons" are that they can make a kind of black stone light into the shape they want in the secret room, which can be called a ghostly workmanship. The stone was usually asked to be made into a short blade, and the stone blade was not sold, but could only be rented, and the rent for one day was the same weight of gold as the stone brought by the ghost stonemason.
After the lease period and rent are determined, a secret room must be prepared in advance, and on the appointed day, the ghost stonemason in the masked broad robe will bring a stone with him, and others only know that the ghost stonemason of the Xian family brought into the secret room only a small hammer, and when leaving, the ghost stonemason will also resolutely turn the dark stone blade that has reached the lease period into a pile of residue.
Not only sharpening iron like clay, but also making quick decisions,
Picking up his trousers, Song Gong took off the sheep intestine belt wrapped around his calf, Zhen Xun saw that the skin on Song Gong's calf was obviously protruding, and the earthworm-like blood vessels had a little guess in his heart.
"It's rude." Zhen Xun stretched out his finger and gently touched the affected area of Gong Gong, feeling a slight warmth, "Is there some pain and tenderness?"
"What the goddess said is very true." Song Gong nodded, with a little joy in his eyes.
Can a disposable small stone knife be exchanged for a lump of gold? The Xian family is really "real" and never deceives the poor.
Indeed, surgery is the most effective way to treat the varicose muscles of the lower limbs, Zhen Xun thought about it, as if he had heard that his grandfather had also done surgery for the varicose muscles of the lower limbs, but it seemed to be done with a laser.
When Gong promised to help contact the ghost stonemason of the Xian family, and the cost was borne by him, Zhen Xun was relieved, and immediately determined the date of meeting with the ghost stonemason, and when it came to the appointed time, he waited early.
"Ying'er, haven't the people from the Xian family in Panlong City come yet?" Zhen Xun stood on tiptoe and looked at the door that had already been wide open, only to see Ying'er stepping into the door with one foot.
Ying'er shook her head, "The people of the Xian family have already come." “
Zhen Xun looked at Ying'er, who was a little strange in front of her, there was no joke on her face, Zhen Xun paused for a moment before she realized, no, she should be called Envy Ying'er, the ghost stonemason who envied the inner door of the family.
Sister Zhen, the costume of the ghost stonemason is a bit redundant for you and me, so I will see you with my true face. Ying'er said, and took Zhen Xun to a study, found some tools from it, and planned to write down Zhen Xun's requirements for the Xuanshi Blade.
Zhen Xun was a little speechless for a while, she knew that Ying'er would not be an ordinary maidservant, and even when she touched the traces of cocoons on her palms, she had imagined that she was an assassin raised by King Cheng's side, but she didn't think that this girl in the prime of her cardamom years turned out to be a craftsman with unique skills.
Do you know Genshi? Ying'er asked.
Zhen Xun nodded, and Gong Gong said, it is a black stone.
Ying'er saw that there was no one around, so she continued to whisper, in fact, there is a lot of production of Xuanshi, which is not unique to Panlong City, but a strange commodity to live in, not to emphasize the unique rarity, those nobles will not spend a lot of money to ask for it.
Ying'er said that Panlong City has always been neutral in the battle of Shang, smelting copper, grinding stone, and burning hard pottery are the three secret skills of the Xian family in Panlong City, and it is also the reason why my Xian family has always been able to gain a foothold in Panlong City, and even been co-opted by the kings of previous dynasties.
That's really a magical stone, since the ancestor of the Xian family got the guidance of the witch god in a dream, and mastered the method of making the Xuanshi blade. Later, it was proposed that it could be used as an "artifact" for ulcer doctors, and the ghost stonemason also tried, and my envy family originally wanted to rely on the stone to save people, but I didn't expect that one day it would be destroyed because of the stone.
The so-called Xuanshi is a translucent stone with a black body, which is extremely hard but also extremely fragile and fragile, and the secret technique of "grinding Xuanshi" of the Xian family in Panlong City is that in addition to being able to select the extremely high-quality Xuanshi inside through the leather shell, it can also accurately control the size and direction of the force with both hands, so that the broken surface of the Xuanshi meets their expectations.
And I don't know when there was also a mysterious ulcer doctor in the Central Plains, his hair was sparse and gray, but his facial skin was like a young man, and according to some patients he had moved to, he carried a set of silver glittering "artifacts", compared with other ulcer doctors, the wounds he had operated on often recovered faster, and the patient's family did not have to spend a lot of time and energy to take care of it as before. In the past, if a person with a prominent value had a fracture or other traumatic injury, in addition to asking an ulcer doctor to operate directly to the lesion, the focus was also on the recovery within seven days after the operation.
What's even more amazing is that the ulcer doctor actually became younger and stronger with the passage of time.
Later, the doctor planned to live in seclusion on the grounds that the "artifact" had disappeared, and the hypothesis that the Xuanshi blade could replace this "artifact" was not known to have been proposed.
Zhen Xun nodded, it is not difficult to understand that the Xuanshi blade can be used for surgery, the sharp knife has a narrower incision, so the amount of bleeding is smaller, the wound heals more easily, and it also reduces the possibility of wound infection.
No, according to Song Gong, the Xuanshi blade is expensive, and it is not affordable for ordinary civilians at all, and they have the ability to complete a surgical operation, and the ulcer doctors who operate with a ghost stone blade are mainly those in the palace, so is this a "privilege" that can only be enjoyed by the nobles of the palace?
Everyone is equal, it's just a joke, Zhen Xun smiled, it turns out that no matter when, the practice that advanced medical resources will be tilted towards the upper class first already exists in the Song Dynasty.
But it seems that she has begun to get used to it, so do you still have to do this ghost stone blade? Although Gong Gong said that the cost of making the Xuanshi blade was paid by him, shouldn't the money of the princes and nobles also come from the people at the bottom? Besides, she didn't have to use this Xuanshi blade......
As for the mysterious ulcer doctor, it is speculated from the description that he may be a surgeon who has traveled through time, but he has never heard of the ability to "grow in reverse" through time.
