Chapter 222: Qianyuan Absolute Pulse
Sun Qiaoyun hid the note, but he was still holding the book in his hand, and said in his mouth: "What does my sister want to talk about?" Qiaoyun is shallow in knowledge and doesn't know much.
Yang Jiangyi has a straightforward personality and has always disliked beating around the bush, but he is also a smart person in Bingxue, and he is very meticulous in observing things. Sun Qiaoyun's expression was abnormal, and the act of holding the thick book tightly had already made her suspicious, what was this little girl hiding, and the secret must be on the small piece of paper she hid in the book.
Yang Jiangyi's eyes turned, and he smiled: "I have long heard that Sister Qiaoyun's tea ceremony is clever, I wonder if there is a mouth blessing that can taste my sister's best Longjing?"
Sun Qiaoyun said: "Sister Yang, please wait for a while, Qiaoyun will go and brew." ”
She put the thick book back on the shelf behind her, and was about to turn to the side cabinet to get the tea.
Yang Jiangyi had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, how clever she was, just waiting for Sun Qiaoyun to turn around, she took a slight step to the bookshelf, reached out to get the book, and said: "I don't know what Sister Qiaoyun is reading, let my sister also take a look." ”
Sun Qiaoyun's complexion changed greatly, and he reached out to stop it, but there was still no time, the thick book had already been gently and skillfully taken by Yang Jiangyi in his hand.
"Sister Yang, this book ...... This book Master has explained that others are not allowed to read it......" Sun Qiaoyun opened his mouth and said with a smile.
Yang Jiangyi chuckled lightly and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't look at this book, just take a look at the pieces of paper inside!"
With a slight flick of her wrist, the piece of paper fell out of the book and fell down like a butterfly, and she swept it over with her palm, and the piece of paper was pinched by two fingers.
At this time, Sun Qiaoyun was so anxious that her face was red, and she was at a loss, but she didn't know what to do.
Yang Jiangyi stared at the piece of paper, but the smile on his face suddenly stiffened and disappeared.
It was a small note just over three inches long, and the paper was a little yellowed, apparently old from many years ago. On the slip of paper there were only two lines of words, and the handwriting was rather scribbled:
"The twenty-first day of the winter month of the Bingwu year, three quarters of the sea"
"Qianyuan is in the vein, too and too harmonious, you can't practice martial arts for life, and your life is less than the three eras"
Obviously, what is written in the above line is the birth date of a person, who is 23 years old according to the year of Bingwu, while what is written in the next line seems to be the name and symptoms of a disease.
Without thinking much about it, Yang Jiangyi could already guess that the person written on this note was Hua Bushi. Although Hua Bushi did not tell her specific date of birth, Yang Jiangyi knew that he was the same year as him, exactly twenty-three years old, and "he could not practice martial arts for life", except for this young master of Hua Da, there was no one else.
And the most shocking thing for Yang Jiangyi is the six words "life is less than three eras" later.
The ancients calculated the years and months according to the rotation of the stars of the year, and one era is twelve years, which means that "life is less than three years", that is, you will not live to be thirty-six years old!
Earlier in Changsha, Hua Bushi told Yang Jiangyi that he had the so-called "Muli Body" in the so-called "Five Elements Physique", so he could not practice martial arts. Only now did she know that the bad guy was all a liar! It was because he was suffering from the disease of "Qianyuan Absolute Pulse" that he could not practice martial arts!
She should have thought a long time ago that Master Hua Qingzhen was also proficient in the art of physiognomy and recognition of people, so why had he never told her about the "body of the five elements", which was really a lie made up by the eldest young master.
Yang Jiangyi's face turned pale, and her fingers holding the piece of paper trembled slightly, she very much hoped that everything she guessed was wrong, and there was another hidden secret. After a while, she opened her mouth and asked Sun Qiaoyun, "What does the Qianyuan Absolute Pulse written on this paper mean?"
At this time, Sun Qiaoyun was as frightened as if he had fallen into a catastrophe, hanging his head and looking at his toes, but he didn't speak.
"Tell me, what is the Qianyuan Absolute Pulse!" Yang Jiangyi asked again.
Sun Qiaoyun bit her lip tightly, still not saying a word.
Yang Jiangyi's face became even more gloomy, and said, "Okay! If you don't want to say it, I can also know!"
She turned and left, and immediately went out of the house.
Sun Qiaoyun hurriedly followed up and asked, "Sister Yang, are you ...... Where are you going?"
Yang Jiangyi didn't answer, his face was like ice, and he walked quickly, straight through the atrium compound of the "Vicious Dog Courtyard", and walked towards the back garden. If the "Qianyuan Absolute Pulse" is a disease, it must be recorded in the medical books, and the place where the most medical classics are placed in the "Vicious Dog Annex" is, of course, the "Pin Gong Pavilion" in the back garden.
Among the thousands of books collected by Hua Bushi over the years, there are not a few martial arts secrets, but there are many medical classics, all of which are placed in the pavilion.
Sun Qiaoyun saw Yang Jiangyi going straight to the back garden, and guessed where she went, so she hurriedly persuaded: "Sister Yang, wait a minute, the 'Pin Gong Pavilion' is where the master collects secret books, and he has explained that others are not allowed to enter!"
Yang Jiangyi ignored it all and walked straight forward, Sun Qiaoyun had no choice but to follow her.
The many young men of "Qingyunwei" who were practicing swords in the atrium courtyard saw Yang Jiangyi and Sun Qiaoyun two girls rushing in front of their heads, and the other chasing after them, rushing forward and backward, and walking through the martial arts training ground. Although they felt strange, they saw that Yang Jiangyi's face was not good, and they didn't dare to come forward to inquire, so they had to dodge and make way.
Walking into the back garden and coming to the front of the "Pin Gong Pavilion", Yang Jiangyi stopped, she looked at the closed carved pavilion door, and then glanced at Sun Qiaoyun who came with her, and shouted: "Sister Qiaoyun, open the pavilion door!"
This is the secret place of the "Evil Dog Gate", and there is an ambush on the steps in front of the door, which Yang Jiangyi knows.
Sun Qiaoyun's tears were about to flow out, and he lamented, "Don't ...... Sister Yang listened to me, Master said...... ...... who do not allow others to enter the cabinet"
Seeing that Sun Qiaoyun refused to open the door, Yang Jiangyi did not hesitate, took two steps forward, and the two slender feet had already stepped on the stone steps. Suddenly, the alarm bell was loud, and it was the organ in front of the pavilion that was touched, but I saw an iron gate falling straight down from the top of the pavilion, and there was a loud bang, and it had smashed on the ground, covering the portal into the pavilion!
Sun Qiaoyun saw that the door of the pavilion was closed by the iron gate, his heart was a little calm, and he begged again: "Sister Yang, Qiaoyun will go to Master Ming, get his consent, and then open the iron gate to let my sister in, okay?"
Yang Jiangyi snorted, flipped her palm, and with a clear sound, the giant sword "Chixue" was already in her hand. Where the sparks splashed, there was another piercing loud sound of gold and iron delivery, and the row of iron bars thicker than your thumb on the iron gate actually broke and fell to the ground!
And the two sandalwood carved pavilion doors inside were also cut in two by the sword blade at the same time, leaving only half of the tattered wooden plank hanging diagonally on the door frame!
Sun Qiaoyun was shocked, but saw Yang Jiangyi holding a giant sword in one hand, pushing open half of the wooden door, and had already raised his feet and walked into the "Pin Gong Pavilion".
At this time, more than a dozen "evil dog gate" gangsters heard the alarm bell and hurried over, but when they saw that the pavilion door was damaged, it was Yang Jiangyi, the eldest lady of the Hua family, who walked in the door, and they all looked at each other, and no one dared to stop them.
There is no change in the "Pin Gong Pavilion" from the previous time Yang Jiangyi came in.
The huge "Thousand Merits Map" was still hanging on the wall in the pavilion, but Yang Jiangyi didn't look at it, she even threw the "Chixue" sword on the ground casually, and walked straight to the dozens of large and small wooden frames in the house, and what was placed on these wooden shelves was the various medical books and pharmacopoeias that Hua Bushi had painstakingly collected for many years.
Two hours later, the medical books that were originally neatly placed on the wooden shelves had been turned into a mess by Yang Jiangyi, scattered everywhere, and the sky was dark, and the light in the pavilion was also very dim and difficult to see. Yang Jiangyi found a candle from the table, lit it with a fire fold, held the candlestick in one hand, and continued to flip through the pile of books.
There are thousands of medical books on these wooden shelves, and it is not easy to find out the records of the "Qianyuan Absolute Pulse" from them, because it is really not a common disease. Yang Jiangyi tirelessly flipped through them one by one, and before she knew it, three or four hours later, the candles on the candlestick burned out, and she had changed them several times before she finally found some information about the "Qianyuan Absolute Pulse".
This information is very scattered, recorded in more than a dozen different medical books, but the text about the "Qianyuan Absolute Vein" in these books has been marked with cinnabar fine lines, but I don't know whether the person who made these marks is Hua Bushi or Sun Qiaoyun.
Yang Jiangyi finally understood that the so-called "Qianyuan Absolute Vein" turned out to be a strange disease that existed in legends.
Although these dozen or so books all mention this disease, none of them has a very clear judgment on the "Qianyuan Absolute Pulse", but instead puts forward many hypothetical theories.
Even if it is hypothetical, what is written in each medical book is different, and even very different:
One said that "Qianyuan is out of the vein", which is a congenital disease caused by the opposition of harmony in the human body and the inability to reconcile yin and yang. The so-called "changes in the main road, each is the right life", this is the theory of Yili metaphysics, although it can be explained, but there is no practical basis.
Another theory is that the disease is caused by a lack of blood and blood, which is a type of "hemorrhage", and its root cause is the insufficient bone marrow development of the baby when she is pregnant in October. There is a cloud in the medical book: "People are born, first become fine, refined and the brain and marrow are born, the bone is the stem, the pulse is the camp, the tendon is the rigid, and the flesh is the wall ......", the lack of bone marrow will make the meridians weak and the blood flow is not smooth, so that there is no ability to practice martial arts, and the body is getting weaker and weaker, and the life is not long.
Another theory is even more mysterious. The scriptures that put forward this theory state that all those who suffer from this disease are people who are very talented and have earth-shattering talents, and this kind of person lives in the world, which is an act against the heavens, and will be jealous of gods and ghosts. Therefore, the way of heaven is vast, and there is a certain number in the underworld, although this kind of person has unparalleled wisdom, but he has to consume his essence and blood day by day, and his heart and qi are strained, so that his physique fails, and finally he cannot escape the catastrophe of death.
Although the hypotheses are different, in all the classics that record this disease, there is a common conclusion without exception, that is, people who suffer from the "Qianyuan Absolute Pulse" have a weak constitution from birth, and the four veins are all slenderer than ordinary people, so they cannot practice any internal and external martial arts. Most of them died when they were teenagers, and the longest lived did not live past the age of thirty-six, so there is a saying that "life is less than three ages".
These medical books contain many of the crux of the disease, but do not list any treatment for the disease. "Qianyuan" originally means "the beginning of heaven", and the name of this disease is "Qianyuan Absolute Pulse", which means that it is really a natural terminal disease, and there is no cure at all.
The more he looked at these classics, the more Yang Jiangyi's heart sank, and Zuihou finally threw down the medical book in his hand, and the whole person sat on the ground as if he had lost his strength.
