Chapter 3 Thirteen Ghost Needles
Zhou Yuzhi spoke with gritted teeth.
Ye Lanxin, who had just "arrived", quickly said: "Yuzhi, after all, sister is your biological mother..."
"I'd rather not... Having a biological mother and sister like this is simply a shame to me..."
Zhou Zhili's eyes were sinister. He said, "Ye has raised a good daughter! Madam, don't worry. I will send someone to bring her back and have her kneel before Qin Zhu to apologize."
"And Ye Shi also owes you and your daughter an apology!"
Zhou Qinzhu and Ye Lanxin exchanged a glance, then pretended to be worried and said, "Father, my sister didn't want to come back in the first place. Will her resentment towards the Marquis' Mansion deepen?"
This one sentence completely ignited the anger of the father and son.
Zhou Zhili snorted coldly, "Resentment! They don't deserve it! Come, tie that rebellious girl back to me!"
The servant who received the order quickly left the house through the back door.
Gu Ruanci had already crossed the market and arrived at a secluded courtyard.
The two big characters "Zang Zhai" are dignified and simple.
The doorman here was humble and low-key: "Today we have a distinguished guest in the mansion. If you want to seek medical advice, please come back another day..."
Gu Ruanci got off the carriage on her own initiative, still wearing a veil.
"I'm looking for Zang Jizhi. I'm his junior apprentice sister."
The doorman was much more steady than the one at the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion. His eyes lit up immediately: "Little... Little Medical Fairy?"
He looked at her again and again in surprise, and he didn't expect that the Little Medical Fairy was so young.
"My master has been waiting for a long time. Please come this way, Little Doctor Fairy."
The doorman led the person in while asking someone to pass the message.
They had just arrived at the pavilion in the middle of the lake when a fifty-year-old man with a white beard came hurriedly.
When he saw the woman, he didn't hesitate, as if he had seen a savior.
"Junior Sister, you're finally here! Master sent me a letter telling you to come down the mountain early. I was so excited..."
This old man is Zang Jizhi, one of the two giants of the Imperial Medical Service today.
Gu Ruanci noticed that Zang Jizhi came down from the pavilion in the center of the lake, where there was another man sitting with his back to him. He did not stand up, but continued to drink tea.
"Hello, senior brother... Is today's distinguished guest still the same difficult patient?" Gu Ruanci asked directly without any politeness.
"That's right, it's the person who, after I spent a lot of energy using the Qiankun Dingyuan Needle, the Huiyang Nine Needles, the Tai Chi Nine Needles, and even the Xiao Zhoutian Needle Technique, still couldn't regain consciousness..."
Before going down the mountain, the master had already told her about this strange patient.
The several acupuncture methods that Zang Jizhi just mentioned are only fully mastered by very few people. Unexpectedly, they did not have a strong effect on this patient.
"Where is he now? What's his condition?" Gu Ruanci asked concisely.
"In the clinic, the patient had just taken the medicine and had fallen into a deep sleep. Otherwise, he would still be smashing things and shouting about fighting and killing..."
After Gu Ruanci nodded, he said directly: "Just go over there."
Zang Jizhi didn't say anything, just nodded and led the way.
As you approach the clinic, the atmosphere is somewhat different.
Gu Ruanci could clearly feel that the people guarding nearby were not from Zang's house.
Probably, it's all related to the man in the pavilion in the center of the lake.
The room was filled with the aroma of medicine. A man was lying there quietly, but he was still tied up with ropes.
The other man looked extremely defensive as he looked at the woman in front of him who was obviously too young.
Gu Ruanci walked over directly, looked at the patient's eyelids, and then took his pulse calmly.
"He was poisoned and injured before. Although the poison has been cured, his mind is still confused. He must have suffered a serious shock before, and he needs the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles."
"Junior sister, are you willing to help?" Zang Jizhi was overjoyed. This patient was very important and the palace had instructed that he must be cured.
The Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles were almost a secret of their sect, and even he didn't master it.
The man next to her was also surprised when he heard the word "junior sister".
He still questioned, "Are you sure you can cure him? Do you know that if something unexpected happens, you can't bear the responsibility?"
Gu Ruanci didn't panic. After looking at him, she responded directly: "So, I should pretend that I haven't been here today and leave directly, right?"
The man was stunned for a moment, then his expression relaxed.
"no……"
"Before I came, my senior brother was already your best choice. Now that he has personally written to invite me here, you should understand that if I can't help him, it will be his own misfortune, not my responsibility."
The man was speechless, it seemed to be the truth.
Zang Jizhi was a little worried, fearing that his junior sister would refuse to save people because of this man's attitude.
"To treat or not to treat, if you can't make a decision, go ask your master."
Gu Ruanci was indeed not angry, and she knew that this patient must be of a special identity.
Zang Jizhi quickly said to the man, "I can't do anything about it. Only my master and my junior sister can help me."
The man hesitated for a moment, turned around and went out. He came back soon and bowed solemnly to the woman: "Thank you..."
I guess he went to ask the man at the Lakeside Pavilion for instructions.
After taking the silver needle from the maid, Gu Runci's eyes became different.
The first needle is inserted into the patient's Ren Zhong acupoint, which is called Gui Gong in acupuncture.
Her technique is very steady and her needle insertion is fast.
Before the man could react, Gu Ruanci had already injected the second needle into Shaoshangxue, which is also known as Guixin's needle.
With the injections of Ghost Barrier, Ghost Heart, and Ghost Road, the shock in the man's heart was about to show on his face.
Zang Jizhi was even more moved. He felt that his junior sister could use things with ease, which he had never been able to master back then. She was indeed an uncanny talent.
When the last stitch was placed, beads of sweat appeared on Gu Ruanci's forehead.
Zang Jizhi, who was standing by and didn't dare to breathe, watched her take the last shot. Then he carefully stepped forward and asked, "Junior sister, how is it?"
Gu Ruanci did not answer, but simply gave the patient a light needle injection at the Yintang acupoint and quickly pulled it out.
The patient slowly woke up, and the man next to him suddenly became nervous.
Unexpectedly, after the patient woke up, the mania in his eyes completely disappeared, and was replaced by confusion.
The veiled woman in front of him made him feel a little uneasy.
Until his eyes fell on the man, he was actually a little moved.
"Brother, take me to see the master..."
Gu Ruanci knew that it was not her business to take care of the rest of the matters.
Sometimes the less you know, the less trouble you have.
Without anyone's prompting, she got up and left.
"Miss, I apologize for my impoliteness just now..."
Gu Ruanci didn't even turn her head and replied, "It's okay. If it was someone unrelated, you wouldn't be so nervous."
"If I want to repay you in the future, where should I go to find the girl?"
