Chapter 65: Acupuncture with Qi
Master Qu Nan and his two disciples arrived quickly, and as soon as they entered the room they went to discuss things with Meng Yi.
"So that's how it is. Okay then, I'll use the needle to seal her memory. But I have to be frank: once the needle is sealed, she'll completely lose her memory and won't even remember who you are."
Besides, no one knows when she will recover this memory. After all, it is impossible to seal her forever." Qu Nan said to Master Quan and his wife.
The couple was silent for a while. This time, Mrs. Quan spoke first, "We understand. Let's ask Doctor Qu to give us acupuncture. We'll think about the future later. Right now, I just want my daughter to live well."
Qu Nan stood up immediately and went to Quan Xiner's room.
Too many people would disturb the acupuncture, so now there are only Meng Yi, Qu Nan, Lin Qian and Qu Lingxiao in the room.
"Lingxiao, go ahead and be careful." Qu Nan stood in front of Quan Xiner's bed and watched for a while, then said to Qu Lingxiao.
When these words were spoken, Meng Yi and Lin Qian were both surprised.
"Yes, Master."
"Old Qu, are you crazy? You let him perform such a dangerous acupuncture?" Meng Yi asked with a look of disapproval on his face.
Qu Nan laughed and said, "Old Meng, don't you know me well? If I wasn't completely sure, would I let him come?
This child is an orphan. I've brought him up with me since he was three years old, teaching him medicine. Don't underestimate his age; he can already use twenty-two needles in the Xuanyuan acupuncture technique, making him even better than you.
The maximum needle group used in Xuanyuan Acupuncture is thirty-six needles. Qu Nan taught Meng Yi the Xuanyuan Acupuncture, but Meng Yi can only perform the eighteenth needle now, and he is not sure about the ones above that.
I didn’t expect that Qu Lingxiao has such accomplishments at such a young age.
Qu Nan said, "He started using needles just as he learned to use chopsticks. I've been teaching him how to use needles for years. He specializes in this skill, so naturally he can improve. He also has a good talent."
Lin Qian couldn't help but look at Qu Lingxiao and found that he was calmly opening the needle bag, taking out the silver needles he was going to use, and then lighting a candle to start disinfecting.
Meng Yi knew that although Qu Nan looked rough and unrestrained on the surface, he was actually very thoughtful and meticulous, and he cared about his patients more than anyone else.
Therefore, Meng Yi stopped talking and began to watch Qu Lingxiao give acupuncture seriously.
Lin Qian also found a great position and watched carefully.
Qu Lingxiao's basic skills were very solid, and his acupuncture was very steady. Meng Yi couldn't help but nod his head when he saw it.
The eighteen needles were inserted into the acupuncture points one by one. Qu Lingxiao began to gently push the needle tails, and suddenly all the needle tails began to vibrate together.
"Master, why do I feel a special feeling when Qu Lingxiao is giving acupuncture?" Lin Qian felt that Qu Lingxiao at this moment had a special charm all over his body, which was very mysterious and hard to explain. In short, he seemed very powerful.
Meng Yi sighed, “I’m really old and my skills are not as good as others.
You should know that there are four major levels of acupuncture. The fourth level is inferior. It belongs to those who have not learned it very well, are half-baked and are cheating people everywhere.
The third type is to practice acupuncture with skills. For example, I am at this level. I know the skills and the taboos.
The second type is people like Qu Lingxiao, who uses Qi to perform acupuncture. I can’t explain exactly what this Qi is, but I only know that anyone who can use Qi to perform acupuncture is definitely an expert in acupuncture.
Among all the people I know, no more than ten people have reached this level, including your Uncle Qu and Qu Lingxiao.
The first type of acupuncture, using the mind to perform acupuncture, is at a legendary level, something I have never seen before."
Using Qi to perform acupuncture? She couldn't believe that Qu Lingxiao, who was only eleven years old, the same age as her, could achieve this level. She couldn't help but clench her fists.
She now seemed to vaguely understand what Meng Yi meant when she was on her way home after treating Uncle Fu's back injury.
There is always someone better than you, and it is impossible for her to do everything better than others. The thing the world lacks the least is genius.
Lin Qian looked at Meng Yi and took a deep breath. There was no need to think too much. Being a doctor was not like taking the imperial examination. As long as she could cure diseases and heal patients, she was a good doctor and there was no need to compare herself with others.
This is what Meng Yi wanted her to feel for herself.
Just as I was in a daze, Qu Lingxiao had already taken out the needle.
Qu Nan patted his shoulder and laughed heartily, "Hahaha! You're worthy of being my apprentice, Lao Meng. How's it going? Now that you've seen how skilled my apprentice is, you should know who won first place in the Medical Competition, right?"
Meng Yi smiled and nodded, "Of course you're my disciple. Don't be so proud. When I met you, you already knew how to use Qi to perform acupuncture. But in the end, didn't you still lose the Xuanyuan acupuncture technique to me?
You can't beat me, and your apprentice can't beat mine either."
Meng Yi also patted Lin Qian's shoulder and looked at Qu Nan with sharp eyes.
Lin Qian and Qu Lingxiao were speechless.
"Master, the acupuncture is now complete. Please invite Mr. Quan and Mrs. Quan in. Miss Quan should be waking up soon." Qu Lingxiao said to Qu Nan.
Only then did Qu Nan and Meng Yi stop fighting.
"Doctor Qu, Doctor Meng, how is my daughter?" Mr. and Mrs. Quan asked as soon as they entered the room. Mrs. Quan even lifted her skirt, ran to Quan Xiner's bed, and called her daughter softly.
Qu Nan said: "He's fine now, he should wake up soon."
Mrs. Quan called out twice again, and Quan Xiner opened her eyes. The previous uneasiness and fear were gone in her eyes, and instead there was a look of confusion.
"You, who are you? Where am I?" Quan Xiner asked.
Mrs. Quan and Mr. Quan came up to their daughter, one on each side, and told her that they were her parents.
Perhaps due to their blood relationship, Quan Xin'er quickly accepted Madam Quan and Master Quan. She then rubbed her belly and said, "Dad, Mom, is there anything to eat? I'm so hungry."
Meng Yi had already cooked another pot of soup, and Lin Shuo and Qu Jingmo were watching the fire. When Lin Qian heard Quan Xiner's words, she immediately went to check it out, but Lin Shuo came over with the soup.
As the fragrance wafted in the air, there was a burst of gulping sounds one after another.
"It smells so good, I want to eat it!" Quan Xin'er stared at the soup in Lin Shuo's hand. It looked like she would get out of bed to grab it if her hands and feet were not so weak.
Mrs. Quan quickly took the soup and fed it to Quan Xiner. Seeing her drinking it in big gulps, tears were about to flow.
After a month, Quan Xiner finally started eating well.
Master Quan led Meng Yi, Qu Nan, and the others out of the room, bowed to them, and thanked them: "Doctor Qu, Doctor Meng, thank you both so much for saving my daughter's life. I cannot thank you enough. Here is the consultation fee, keep it."
Five hundred taels of silver per person.
Meng Yi and Qu Nan were not polite. After receiving the banknotes, Meng Yi prescribed a few medicinal food recipes for Quan Xin'er and told the chef of the Quan Mansion how to cook them. Then they left the Quan Mansion.
As soon as I returned to the clinic, the street became noisy, and a large number of government officials were running hurriedly through the streets.
"What's going on?" Qu Nan frowned.
Lin Qian and the other two looked at each other. Could it be that war is about to break out again?
