Wang Jiaxing and Huang Xinrui used to eat meat every day and looked very calm, but the newly arrived educated youth all came from poor families and could hardly eat meat once a month. How could they not be excited when they could eat meat right after arriving in the countryside?
Although the wild boar meat was a bit tough, it was oily and they didn't mind it at all.
Even Li Muqing, who had a broken leg, ate voraciously and quickly finished her share of the meat.
Meat was hard to come by, so to be fair, everyone cut two ounces of meat from their own three pounds to cook. After the meat was cooked, they divided it up and ate their own portion, and the rest of the dishes were shared.
Huang Xinrui looked down on Li Muqing, who looked like a starving ghost. While slowly eating the meat in her bowl, she said, "We'll stay and do the work this time. We'll cook, serve food, fetch water, and collect firewood. Wang Zhiqing and I will work together, and you can choose yourselves to work with us."
"I'm in the same group with Zhu Zhiqing," Li Muqing said.
Zhu Jianhua still minded that she had lied to him, but seeing her looking at him pleadingly, he finally did not refuse and acquiesced.
Zhou Yunze must be in the same group with his sister, so there will be one extra person.
Xu Shanshan bit her lip, looking helpless.
Seeing her like that, Wang Jiaxing couldn't bear it, so he said, "Xu Zhiqing should be in our group. The three of us will take turns for two days."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Huang Xinrui. Huang Xinrui knew that he was a good guy. Xu Shanshan was not a troublemaker, and it was not easy to lose face for Wang Jiaxing in front of so many people, so she agreed.
Xu Shanshan looked at the two of them gratefully and thought to herself that she would definitely work harder to live up to their kindness.
After hearing the commotion next door, Li Xiyue cleaned up the kitchen, closed the door and prepared to rest.
She went into the space, took a shower, and changed into the new pajamas that Sun Xia made for her.
She specially asked Sun Xia to make her two sets of short-sleeved summer pajamas, made of cotton, which were very soft and breathable.
After taking a shower and changing into pajamas, I felt relaxed all over.
Li Xiyue was not sleepy yet, so she went to the study to read medical books. Xiaobai went outside to play with the small animals, so there was no need to pay any attention to it.
Li Xiyue found an ancient medical book about acupuncture and was very interested in it. She sat down and read it slowly.
I thought I had learned acupuncture very well, but I didn't expect that many of the acupuncture techniques recorded in this ancient medical book were things I had never seen before, especially the record of the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles, a unique skill.
Medical books say that the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles were created by Bian Que, but this ancestor of traditional Chinese medicine only passed it on orally and left no written records.
Zhang Daoling of the Eastern Han Dynasty once made systematic modifications to the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles.
Zhang Daoling, also known as Zhang Tianshi, is the founder of Taoism. He is good at talismans and his power is so great that he can move mountains and fill the sea. Most evil spirits have to give way to Zhang Tianshi when they see him.
The thirteen needles he modified can dispel evil spirits, reverse the cycle of yin and yang, and snatch people from the hands of the King of Hell.
However, the person who performs the acupuncture will suffer the backlash of cause and effect. Taoist metaphysics and Qimen Dunjia have always emphasized the lineage and inheritance of knowledge. It is difficult for people without the opportunity to learn the real Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles.
First of all, finding the right acupuncture points is a problem. There are strict regulations on when to insert the needle, how much force to use, how many minutes to insert the needle, the order and the interval.
If you make a mistake, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Only a gifted Chinese medicine expert can master this acupuncture technique.
The thirteen needles can unblock the yin and yang, and make the evil spirits tell their origins. As long as the thirteen needles are applied continuously, they can be completely scared away.
It is recorded in the book that no matter how powerful a medical genius was, he never gave a complete set of thirteen needles during his lifetime.
Because some evil spirits are not extremely evil, and are even very pitiful, the acupuncturist will leave them a way to survive, which also protects the acupuncturist from backlash and leaves the cause and effect to the person concerned.
The book also records an example of someone who gave thirteen needles at once. That person was a Chinese medicine doctor named Liao. The thirteen needles were a method passed down from his ancestors. After giving the thirteen needles, Doctor Liao suffered backlash, and he and his descendants did not have a good end.
Liao, the original owner’s grandfather also had the surname Liao, and he also knew this set of acupuncture techniques. Could the original owner’s grandfather be a descendant of the Liao family?
The book also says that the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles are only the surface acupuncture techniques, and there are another thirteen needles behind them that are specifically used to protect the acupuncturist.
Before acupuncture, give yourself a few needles to seal the seven orifices to avoid backlash.
However, even so, most doctors who used this acupuncture method were in poor health, and some even had few offspring and few descendants.
Li Xiyue thought to herself, the original owner's grandfather's family was also very small, could it be because of this set of acupuncture techniques?
The thirteen needles correspond to thirteen acupoints and thirteen formulas.
In the eyes of Taoism and traditional Chinese medicine, the human body is a huge network of meridians, including twelve main meridians and eight extraordinary meridians. They are in charge of different organs of the human body and each performs its own function, thus ensuring the normal operation of the three souls and seven spirits in the human body.
Acupoints are the intersection points of meridians. The functions and importance of acupoints vary depending on the meridians, so there is a distinction between life points and death points.
Doctors look for vital points when treating illnesses, and look for fatal points when harming people.
It is because life is dominated by yang and death is dominated by yin, and this yin and yang constitute the Tai Chi universe of the human body, and those acupoints that happen to be at the intersection of yin and yang are the thirteen ghost points.
In the eyes of the ancients, ghosts and monsters have a direct relationship with human life and death. People have three souls and seven spirits. The three souls are responsible for the spirit, and the seven spirits are responsible for the body. If ghosts and monsters infect the seven spirits, the human body and organs will become abnormal, and doctors only need to prescribe the right medicine.
If the three souls are contaminated by ghost spirits, the person will become mentally ill and crazy.
The King of Medicine Sun Simiao said in "Qian Jin Fang" that this acupuncture method is specially used to treat strange diseases, and is very effective for symptoms such as evil spirits, inexplicable madness, and sudden insanity.
The book also contains acupuncture point diagrams and detailed explanations of the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles, as well as mnemonics.
The record was extremely detailed, and Li Xiyue was moved after reading it.
After much deliberation, Li Xiyue made a decision: she wanted to learn.
Whether to use it or not is one thing, but whether it will work is another.
She bought a traditional Chinese medicine human acupuncture point model from the space mall and started learning from the book.
She was so engrossed in her studies that time passed by little by little, and before she knew it, she had studied for the whole night.
When daybreak came, she stretched and stopped.
This set of acupuncture techniques cannot be learned in a day or two, and becoming fat is not achieved in one breath. I will continue tomorrow.
She drank a glass of spiritual spring water and made breakfast for herself in the space.
I poached two eggs, cooked a pot of lean meat porridge, and ground a cup of soy milk.
After eating and drinking, she left the space. Although she hadn't slept all night, she didn't feel sleepy. Instead, she was full of energy because she had new learning tasks.
On a summer morning, before the sun comes out, the eastern sky is already a fiery red.
The crowing of roosters and the barking of dogs can be heard in the village, heralding the arrival of a new day.
Meanwhile, there was another noise coming from the educated youth camp...
