After the little skeleton entered the tent, it took off its black robe and returned it to Qiao Suinian. Then it handed Qiao Suinian three pieces of equipment and a stack of yellowed papers with dark brown writing on them.
The three pieces of equipment were two rings and a piece of armor, all of which the little skeleton had taken from the hunchbacked old man's corpse.
Qiao Suinian glanced at them and then put them aside with little interest. The highest grade of these three pieces of equipment was only E-, which was far inferior to the Ghost Dragon Scale Robe and Ghost Child Ring he was wearing.
He looked at the last stack of papers; the yellowed paper felt very rough to the touch.
The first page bears the five large characters "Suwen - On Qi Acupoints" written in a vigorous and elegant style.
"So that hunchbacked old man learned his acupressure technique from this?" A glint flashed in Qiao Suinian's eyes as he flipped through the paper, examining it by the faint blue light from the little skull's eyes.
The contents of the second sheet of paper started to become somewhat obscure and difficult to understand.
The Yellow Emperor asked: "I have heard that there are 365 acupoints corresponding to one year, but I do not know their locations. I wish to hear more about them."
Qi Bo bowed twice and replied: "What a perplexing question! If it were not the Emperor Jing, who could fathom its essence? Therefore, please allow me to fully explain its nature."
The emperor clasped his hands, hesitated, and said: "When you opened up the way for me, Master, I could not see the place or hear the number, yet my eyes were already clear and my ears were already sharp."
Qi Bo said: This is what is meant by "a wise man is easy to talk to, and a good horse is easy to ride".
The Emperor said: "I am not a master of simple words. People say that true numerology can enlighten people's minds. The numerology I have consulted can enlighten and resolve doubts, but it is not enough to discuss this matter."
......
The Emperor then dismissed his attendants and rose, bowing twice and saying: "Today I have enlightened you and dispelled your doubts. I will store this in a golden cabinet and dare not bring it out again." He then stored it in the Golden Orchid Chamber, and inscribed it: "The location of the Qi Cave."
Qi Bo said: Among the collateral vessels that branch off from the main vessels, there are 365 vessels whose blood is abundant and needs to be drained. These vessels all flow into the collateral vessels and transmit to the twelve main vessels, not just the fourteen. Ten vessels are used to drain blood internally.
Qiao Suinian flipped through the pages with great interest, but just as he was engrossed in reading, the contents of the paper abruptly stopped.
Qiao Suinian exhaled a breath of stale air.
If he, like that hunchbacked old man, also applied the technique of acupressure in battle, using the Haoye Dragon Staff to strike the opponent's meridians and acupoints, it would surely have an unexpected effect.
With Qiao Suinian's almost abnormal physique and strength attributes, he naturally didn't need to worry about not having enough strength; he only needed to worry about not being able to find the right acupoints.
The contents recorded in the "Suwen-Qixue Lun" undoubtedly opened up a new world for him.
At this moment, Qiao Suinian was even a little impatient to find someone to try out the new knowledge he had just learned, but this thought only flashed through his mind.
The masked man had just started to suspect him. If he used the same pressure point technique as the hunchbacked old man in front of him, wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting guilt without being asked?
Qiao Suinian wasn't stupid. Unless there was a conflict of interest or a grudge, he didn't want to create a powerful enemy like the masked man out of thin air.
The end times are not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and social interactions.
People who only know how to use violence but not their brains obviously won't survive long in the apocalypse.
