Chapter 42: Nine Needles for Prolonging Life
Next to him, Chu Qinghe glanced at Dongfang Bubai's back, then lightly touched the wooden box on the table next to him with his finger. As the wooden box opened, the long needles inside were exposed in the light.
As Chu Qinghe's palm gently stroked the acupuncture box, several silver needles suddenly fell into Chu Qinghe's palm.
The next moment, Chu Qinghe flicked his hand lightly, and the silver needles fell on the acupuncture points on Dongfang Bubai's back where the black meridians intersected.
As dozens of silver needles fell on Dongfang Bubai's back, Chu Qinghe took a few steps forward to the wooden barrel, raised his right hand, and flicked the silver needles on Dongfang Bubai's back with his fingers.
The movements are gentle, like the swaying of willow catkins.
But when Chu Qinghe's fingertips passed over the ends of these silver needles, they caused them to vibrate slightly one after another, and this continued for a long time even in the water.
Seeing this move, Qu Feiyan knew very well that when Chu Qinghe flicked the needle, he clearly added some special strength to his fingertips.
“Buzz buzz buzz…”
In just a few breaths, the silver needles on Dongfang Bubai's back trembled slightly, and a faint sound came from the wooden barrel.
This caused Qu Feiyan, who was listening next to him, to feel a little uncomfortable.
On the other hand, as the silver needles on his back rang, Dongfang Bubai could clearly feel the force slowly entering his meridians from the outside to the inside.
When Chu Qinghe acquired this master-level medical skill, in addition to the medical knowledge such as the five elements of the human body, various medical theories and prescriptions, there were naturally some advanced treatment methods.
One of them is the acupuncture method just used.
Nine Needles for Prolonging Life
Each time acupuncture is given, nine is used as the base number, and ninety-nine is the maximum.
The needle can prolong the life, even if the person is about to die at three o'clock in the morning, as long as the head is not destroyed, even if the heart meridians are severed, the "Nine Life-Prolonging Needles" alone can delay the person for a few hours.
You can imagine how powerful it is.
As the long needle continued to make soft sounds, the internal energy slowly began to flow from Chu Qinghe's body to his fingers.
Whenever he flicked the tip of the silver needle with his fingers, the internal force would flow along the silver needle into Dongfang Bubai's body.
It's strange.
Along with the injection of Chu Qinghe's internal energy, these silver needles were still vibrating at an extremely fast frequency, but the sound of the silver needles vibrating suddenly disappeared.
However, Dongfang Bubai knew that the vibration of the silver needle did not disappear, but was transferred.
Almost at the moment when the rumbling sound in his ears disappeared, Dongfang Bubai felt that the meridians and bones in his body seemed to be constantly vibrating by waves of force.
As a result, the burning sensation in Dongfang Bubai's body subsided for a moment, causing Dongfang Bubai's slightly frowned brows to slowly relax.
Dozens of breaths later, under Chu Qinghe's special acupuncture method and the internal force that assisted in the process, the color of the meridians on Dongfang Bubai's back began to change again.
If the meridians on Dongfang Bubai's back were previously as black as ink.
At this moment, these meridians have already begun to turn purple.
Taking this scene in, Chu Qinghe put his fingers together like swords and quickly tapped the meridians on Dongfang Bubai's back.
Then he raised his hand again and placed it on one end of the silver needles, twisting or flicking them.
And blood was slowly flowing out from the tips of the silver needles on Dongfang Bubai's back.
But it is different from the dark red or bright red of ordinary human blood.
At this time, the blood flowing out from the end of the silver needle was as black as ink.
With the addition of blood, the potion in the entire wooden barrel quickly turned ink-black.
At the same time, the little girl next to her suddenly approached the barrel and sniffed it, and asked in a slightly surprised tone: "Why is there still a hint of fragrance?"
Facing Qu Feiyan's question, Chu Qinghe did not change his actions. "Because the blood stasis in her body has formed poison over the years, it emits some poisonous fragrance. If you like it, you can take a few more breaths to clear your stomach."
Qu Feiyan: “…”
After hearing Chu Qinghe's explanation, Qu Feiyan shuddered and then stood up suddenly, covering her mouth and nose.
There was also a hint of resentment in the look he gave Chu Qinghe.
Chu Qinghe didn't care about Qu Feiyan's reaction at the moment.
Still put your hand into the water and continue the acupuncture.
It was not until the blood discharged from Dongfang Bubai's back through the silver needles was no longer as dark as ink, but began to gradually turn bright red, that Chu Qinghe removed the silver needles one by one.
After taking Dongfang Bubai's hand and checking his pulse for a few breaths, Chu Qinghe nodded.
"Almost done, let's try circulating our true Qi!"
After hearing what Chu Qinghe said, Dongfang Bubai, who was still in the wooden barrel, turned his head and looked at Chu Qinghe in surprise.
"Is that all?"
Chu Qinghe looked at Dongfang Bubai strangely and said, "What else? How complicated do you want it to be?"
With Chu Qinghe's medical skills, Dongfang Bubai's problem was not even a problem, so it wouldn't take long to deal with it.
When Dongfang Bubai heard the voice, his face showed a slight doubt. Then the true energy that had been suppressed in his dantian surged out like a mighty river and flowed through his body in an instant.
As the true Qi was flowing, Dongfang Bubai suddenly discovered that the subtle feeling of stagnation and pain in certain parts of his body that he had felt when he was circulating the true Qi in the past had now disappeared completely.
It feels particularly transparent.
Feeling the situation inside his body, Dongfang Bubai's eyes lit up.
"It's really good."
After confirming this, Dongfang Bubai looked at Chu Qinghe with even more surprise in his eyes.
Obviously, he didn't expect that the injury that had troubled him for years could be solved so easily by Chu Qinghe.
Here, facing Dongfang Bubai's surprised gaze, Chu Qinghe said nonchalantly: "Get up! Don't just expel these toxins from your body, and you absorb them back again."
In response, Dongfang Bubai nodded and slowly stood up.
You know, because of the acupuncture, the clothes on Dongfang Bubai's back were taken off.
Now getting up from the wooden barrel, Dongfang Bubai obviously forgot to put on his clothes.
As Dongfang Bubai stood up, amid the "splashing" sound of water, Dongfang Bubai's back was also imprinted in Chu Qinghe's eyes.
After the poison was completely eliminated, Dongfang Bubai's back was smooth and white, forming a sharp contrast with the black potion in the wooden barrel.
Taking in Dongfang Bubai's smooth back, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but feel an urge to make a move.
"It's such a beautiful back, it would be a shame if you don't use cupping!"
