At noon the next day, it was the time for the master and apprentice to meet.

Shen Yun first presented a large bag of golden orchid grass that he had concocted with both hands.

"Well, that's good. Lin Yan is quite satisfied. It can be seen that the apprentice has not been idle this winter, in addition to memorizing the "Pharmacopoeia", he has also practiced the preparation techniques of medicinal materials.

"This bag of golden orchid grass was left for the teacher. ”

Being able to get the master's affirmation, Shen Yun felt happy in his heart. Then, he explained his situation last night and asked, "Master, is that really angry?"

Lin Yan was secretly surprised, and said in his heart: Could it be that Pavilion Master Liu and I have lost our eyes?

"Come and sit down, stretch out your right hand, and show it to you. He said.

"Yes. Shen Yun agreed, sat down cross-legged opposite him, and stretched out his right hand.

Lin Yan gently pressed his index and middle fingers on his wrist, closed his eyes slightly, and probed his pulse.

After a long while, he opened his eyes and said in a low voice: "If the true qi is condensed in the dantian, the pulse is similar to the flowing water of a river, and it is gushing endlessly. Your pulse is normal. ”

In other words, that trace of heat is not true qi. Shen Yun was a little disappointed.

Lin Yan pretended not to see it, and said, "Have you seen clearly the technique of exploring the pulse of the teacher just now? The doctor has four basic skills, namely, smelling, looking, asking, and cutting. Among them, 'cut' means to cut the pulse. At the beginning of the pulse cutting, it is to explore the pulse. Now, you try to probe your pulse. ”

"Yes. Shen Yun also learned to stretch out his index and middle fingers and press them on his right wrist.

There is a sense of jumping under the fingertips. One, two, three, four...... Not slow, full of rhythm.

Other than that, I don't feel anything else.

"How?" asked Lin Yan.

Shen Yun let go of his hand and acted truthfully.

Lin Yan bowed slightly: "One breath and one breath is one breath." The pulse of ordinary people jumps about four times in one breath, not floating or sinking, gentle and powerful. ”

"Yes, that's it. Shen Yun nodded excitedly.

Ahhh

Lin Yan glanced at him and said, "There are more than 20 kinds of human veins. If the meridians are not familiar, how can I cut the pulse? Later, I will talk to you in detail. You first draw the two veins of Ren and Du on the ground. ”

Master is right, you have to eat bowl by bowl of rice, and you can't become fat by eating one bite. Shen Yun gathered his heart, picked up a small branch, and carefully drew Ren and Du Ermai on the dirt floor.

Before, he drew meridian diagrams on the sand table, all of which were drawn together with the surrounding acupuncture points. Habitually, at this time, he also drew all the acupuncture points he passed.

Lin Yan nodded approvingly. It's rare for an eight-year-old child to be so studious!Well, this is also one of the main reasons why he likes Shen Yun.

After Shen Yun finished painting, he said again: "Well, the meridians and acupuncture points are right. Disciple, according to this diagram, you will bring the parts of the body, the viscera, and the acupuncture points through which the two veins pass with the teacher. ”

Shen Yun was a little fortunate in his heart: he knew that the back meridian diagram could not just be a simple back meridian.

He recited them one by one according to the thickness of the dolls.

"Well, you looked very carefully and noticed the direction of the meridians on the puppet. After listening to him memorize, Lin Yan had two more points of confidence in his apprentice.

Hope is also the four basic skills of a doctor. Although his apprentice's qualifications are mediocre, he knows how to make up for his clumsiness with diligence at a young age, which has already amazed him. No, this baby is still meticulous and good at observation. He had to admit that if he had such a mind, it would be of great benefit to medicine.

Perhaps all along, teachers have made a common mistake - aptitude is indeed important, but it is not as important as they think.

Next, Lin Yan also taught him his understanding of the two veins of Ren and Du. At the end, he said: "The golden needle is the master's housekeeping ability. To practice this technique well, memorizing the meridian map is the first step. The second is to cut the pulse to be excellent. Finally, there is the method of the golden needle. The first two are not too hard, and the method of the golden needle makes it superb, but it is only a flying needle hidden weapon, and the side door aisle is also. ”

Originally, he was supposed to teach the first two things to his disciples and lay a good foundation before teaching the method of the golden needle. However, practicing the golden needle does not happen overnight. But what he lacks most now is time. Therefore, he can only do all three.

Worried that the disciples would abandon their roots, he deliberately beat it before passing the golden needle.

Shen Yun understood what he meant, and nodded yes: "Don't dare." ”

After leaving Niutouao Village, he wandered among the markets, and everything he saw and heard told him a cruel reality: ordinary people have no way at all, and they have learned a little real skill.

Therefore, he especially cherishes every opportunity to learn.

Now, he is fortunate to have the favor of Master. Master has taught him what he has learned all his life. This is his big opportunity, can he not do his best and study seriously?

Lin Yan knew that he was a sincere child, and when he heard this, he was relieved, and with a shake of his hand, his index and middle fingers caught a bright and thin silver needle like a trick.

Shen Yun was stunned.

"The method of the golden needle is the two words 'hand familiar'. Lin Yan said, flicking it lightly.

Whoosh, the silver needle flashed and burst out of the air.

So fast! Shen Yun couldn't tell where the silver needle was flying at all.

"Click!"

He heard the sound of a heavy object falling behind him, and turned his back in disbelief.

Yes!

Less than twenty paces away from him, a cauliflower snake with the thickness of a baby's arm fell heavily to the ground, not moving!

Snakes, even if their heads are cut off and their skins are peeled, their bodies can be twisted for a long time before they stop.

However, the three or four feet long serpent was frozen as if it had been frozen in winter, and it did not move under the tree.

"It's ......," he couldn't believe his eyes.

Lin Yan smiled lightly: "Apprentice, go pick it up." The snake is quite fat, and it is best to make snake soup. ”

"Yes. Shen Yun came back to his senses and ran over.

Judging by his years of hunting experience, this snake is indeed dead and cannot die again.

The snake is soft. He picked it up, and it was like a thunderbolt in his heart - Lord Emperor of Heaven, this snake is like a puddle of mud, like a boneless!

No wonder the snake body no longer moves.

If you look closely, seven inches above, there is a bright and thin silver needle.

It was the one that Master popped up. It was more than half of the snake's body.

Wow! This is the golden needle!

Awesome!

Shen Yun had seen Fu Lei hit objects with flying stones before. Comparing the two, he felt that what Master said was right. Compared with the golden needle through the acupoint, the flying needle hidden weapon is completely uninfluential, not to mention!

I must learn how to pass through the acupuncture points well! He clenched his fists and secretly made up his mind.

Seeing this, Lin Yan knew that his goal had been achieved, and began to teach the method of the golden needle.

"This technique is called "Flying Flowers Over the Willows", which was created by the ancestor. It seems light and ethereal, but it implies a lot of murderous intentions. In this way, the skill can be practiced to a small extent, and more than 1,000 needles can be flying in an instant. A hundred steps away, the stubborn stone can be shattered. ”

Shen Yun was dumbfounded. A small silver needle can be so strong!

Then, Lin Yan casually picked up a gravel from the ground: "With your current wrist strength, you can't use a silver needle." You can start with stones instead of exercises. As he spoke, he demonstrated the basics.

Hmm, that's pretty.

Shen Yun couldn't help but ask, "Master, the ancestor is a woman, right?"

Lin Yan chuckled: "That's right. "Well, not just his apprentices. He, as well as his master and ancestor, had this question when they first learned the art of flying flowers and willows.

None of them. This technique is used, and the fingertips are like flowers blooming, and the beauty is moving.

But who would have thought that such a beautiful technique is a murderous move!

"Ancestor, it's amazing!" Shen Yun was speechless. One of the five protectors, escaped from the destruction of the door and robbery, and the cultivation was lost, and in the market, he opened a mountain and established a faction...... The patriarch is really a strange woman, and she doesn't let her eyebrows.

"Patriarch Zeng Yun, heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang, and the Tao has a good time. Yin and yang, Qiankun, how to distinguish between high and low, respect and inferiority. The same is true for men and women. The so-called male superiority and inferiority of women are nothing but bad folk customs. After the alien side branch came to power, it added fuel to the fire. You are young, don't be misled by such nonsense. Lin Yan said, "Walking outside for the teacher, I never dared to underestimate women." ”

"No, I don't dare. Shen Yun hurriedly waved his hand, "The apprentice has been able to live until now because of the eldest sister's ability to protect him." The eldest sister's great kindness and virtue, the disciple will not dare to forget it in this life. ”

"Oh, let's hear it. This was the first time that the apprentice took the initiative to mention his family, and Lin Yan suddenly became interested. He has always been curious about what kind of people teach his disciples to be so well-behaved and sensible.

Shen Yun did not hesitate, and revealed his true life experience - he believed in his master and would not be frightened by the immortal rune soldiers like his aunt and cousin.

Really. After hearing this, Lin Yan glanced at him with a complicated expression: "Your eldest sister, it is indeed rare." Your father and mother, and your eldest sister, they taught you well. ”

To be honest, when he was a teenager, if he heard his biological father treat him like this, he would inevitably feel resentment and change his temperament. But the little girl didn't. What's even more commendable is that her adoptive father and adoptive mother died, and she, an eleven-year-old girl, after escaping, can still consistently treat her younger brother who is like a burden and has no blood relationship at all, and never abandons her.

If he guessed correctly, in the cave, after the little girl was injured, she told her younger brother her true life experience, which was actually born with the heart of sacrificing herself to protect her brother.

With pure parents and eldest sisters as role models, it is no wonder that the apprentice has a rough life, but he has a pure and generous temperament.

Shen Yun nodded, and finally expressed for the first time the doubts that had been stuffed in his heart for a long time: "Master, the apprentice has always been unable to understand, our people in Niutouao Village have always been indisputable, and we live in peace, why did the Immortal Fu soldiers suddenly slaughter the village?"
