Chapter 148 The onset of illness and the Thirteen Acupunctures of the Ghost Gate
"Do you want another game?" After Xu Xin left, Ye Kexin sat cross-legged and did not get up.

"I'm a little... unable to stand up right now." She said, frowning slightly. Her slender legs under the white trousers seemed to be disconnected from her upper limbs and did not move with the activities of her upper limbs.

"Let's take a rest... let me help you lie down?"

Ye Kexin probably remembered Tang Muzhi's sleeping posture in the grave, chuckled lightly, shook his head, and pushed the black chess piece in front of him.

This is authentic "Yunzi", produced in Baoshan, Yunnan, where Tang Mu stayed at the hotel two days ago.

Yunzi was invented in 1974. It is made from agate stone and purple Ying stone, and is smelted together with red red powder, borax, etc. The process is exquisite and complicated, and the formula, heat, and the craftsmanship of the idea all affect the quality. An important factor is that the blanks are polished to the same size.

The top of the chess piece is convex and the bottom is flat. Each piece is very precisely controlled at six grams. There are no impurities and bubbles on the surface, and the bottom is smooth and delicate.

Under the weak light in the tomb, the center of the sunspot is not transparent, and there is a green halo around it; the white seed is like jade, showing a very light green color.

This set of chess pieces has a good feel and color, and has obviously been used and maintained regularly.

Tang Muzhi took the black piece to occupy a "star position" and raised a few more chess pieces in his hand to watch.

He taught him Go in Guangshao, Suzhou. Later, he played several games with Lu Yi in the Lu family. After returning to Tangmen, he no longer had this leisurely elegance - he was completely an amateur among amateurs.

Ye Kexin is different from him. She learned her chess skills from the chess master "Nie Xuanfeng".

Family, life experience, talent... she had these all just after she was born.

The Ye family started their business with medical skills and rose to prominence in the late Qing Dynasty. After many ups and downs, they are now a well-established medical family in Suzhou. However, they only have a small number of people and are not as good as Jishitang, Baicaoyuan and other sects in the alien world.

After Ye Kexin was diagnosed with ALS, several treatments failed to work. Her parents also knew that the disease was a bottomless pit. In order not to drag down the family, they separated the family. While relying on the skills inherited from their own family, they studied and treated the disease; while running around, and Many doctors inside and outside the circle exchange and learn - living like this for five or six years.

After all, Ye Kexin is also a "celebrity" in the circle. Her parents have dealt with various figures from all walks of life, and she has been influenced by it. The "impotence girl" is also the object of constant attention of many people.

Back to the topic, Tang Muzhi was in a trance, Ye Kexin's green hand fell down, the chessboard was completely white, and there were no sunspots anywhere.

"Awesome." Tang Muzhi sighed sincerely. Ye Kexin's thinking in the chess game completely defeated the "opponents" he had encountered before, and they were not at the same level at all.

Ye Kexin smiled warmly when she heard the words, revealing a dimple on her left lip. She retracted the chess piece, and what couldn't escape her eyes was the deep depression hidden in her eyes.

Tang Muzhi glanced down and silently helped her put away the chess pieces. After all, she had let him play this game. It had been playing for half an hour, which might not be good for her health. Ye Kexin's lower limbs had not yet regained consciousness.

After collecting the last chess piece, Ye Kexin's face turned pale, her arms began to tremble unconsciously, and at the first time she fell down weakly, knocking on the stone chessboard, and her whole body began to wobble, as if she was about to fall down.

Tang Muzhi quickly stretched out his hand to support her weak waist, and her arms dropped to his upper arms.

Tang Muzhi exerted a little force, lifted her legs and let her lie flat on the stone cave floor - this was not available in other caves, and should be regarded as her privilege.

"So light..." Tang Muzhi estimated after putting Ye Kexin down. She was 1.6 meters tall and almost 1.7 meters tall, and weighed only about [-] kilograms. What was rare was that her face did not show much skinny, and there were no abnormalities in her cheekbones. bulge.

"It's strange...it's so serious...it hasn't relapsed a few times in more than half a year..." Ye Kexin spoke weakly, taking a moment to breathe after every word.

"What should I do?" Tang Muzhi asked. He did know something about meridians, but he didn't dare to show off on such occasions.

"There is medicine in it...and...after I take a break, I will give the needle myself."

The reason why Tang Mu walked into the pit was to fetch eight medicine bottles of different colors and a pair of silver needles.

Following Ye Kexin's instructions, Tang Muzhi fed her the medicine one after another. She still couldn't move, but after lying down, her face became much calmer. She closed her eyes as if she had fallen into silence.

Tang Muzhi also sat cross-legged next to her, equal and peaceful, calm and clear. The starry sky in the inner scene was twinkling, and the light was bright and clear. Tang Muzhi's heart was like a mirror, reflecting the universe in all directions, and then merged, merged, assimilated, and returned to nothingness. , and eventually even the concept of "nothing" dissipated into the breeze, and even the entire samadhi disappeared.

There is no "perception" and no "non-perception". This is both non-perception and non-perception concentration.

Ye Kexin is a strange person. She has learned two things: Sun Buer's female elixir method and Wu Leo Vajra.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the cause of "impotence" is deficiency of fluid and blood, which cannot feed back to the muscles, making the muscles weak and unable to move.

Sun Buer, the "Qingjing Sanren", was the only woman among the seven Quanzhen disciples. She proposed that women are blood-based, so one of the key points of women's inner alchemy is nourishing blood, which was of great help to Ye Kexin's illness.

Wudiao refers to the three disciplines of precepts, concentration, and wisdom, also known as the three schools of Wudong. Practicing Wudang to the highest realm can cut off all troubles and escape from all desires.It is also an excellent method for a terminally ill patient.

After being in meditation for a long time, Tang Muzhi opened his eyes and saw Ye Kexin sitting up against the wall of the cave, holding the silver needle in his hand.

"Want me to help?" Tang Muzhi asked softly.

Ye Kexin thanked her, "No need."

Then she started to apply the acupuncture, her technique seemed extremely skillful. She squeezed the needle and flicked it, and two slender needle shadows appeared on the philtrum and the thumb.

Seeing Ye Kexin stop what he was doing and looking at him with a very unnatural look on his face, Tang Muzhi recalled it and suddenly realized: "This is the Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate?"

One shot will kill two young men, and three shots will make Shiling Liang white.

Five needles for Shenmai and Sixth Fengfu, seven needles for cheek chakra and eight for holding pulp.

Nine needles are in the labor palace, ten are in the stars, eleven are in the pond, and the fire needle is strong.

The twelve perineums are not busy, and the bottom of the thirteen tongue is in the center.

The eleven needles Ye Kexin had just applied corresponded to these acupuncture points, so Tang Muzhi quickly thought of the ghost gate needles that Bi Yuan was good at.

When Ye Kexin heard this, her face turned red, and she rolled her eyes at him angrily. Tang Muzhi also knew that he was in trouble, so he apologized and quickly exited the pit.

Needle No. 12 of the Thirteen Acupuncture Needles of Ghost Gate is at the perineum point. The acupuncture is performed in such a private place, so it is naturally inconvenient for Tang Muzhi to take care of it.

The Thirteen Acupuncture of Ghost Gate is an acupuncture method to expel external evils and stabilize the mind. There are many variables in the alien world. It seems that it also helps Ye Kexin's ALS, which is not surprising.

Walking out of the pit, Tang Muzhi glanced outside the cave, it was already afternoon, and some disciples had come to deliver food.

Tang Mu looked around and saw that it was Tang Hong. She was holding a thermal bucket in each hand and looking around.

There are people delivering Dharma regularly in the cave, but Tang Muzhi often fell asleep before and never noticed who it was.

Seeing Tang Muzhi, Tang Hong ran over with a smile on her face.

"Uncle Junior!" "Honghong...is it your turn this month?"

Tang Muzhi recalled that he had stayed in the tomb for a full week, and tomorrow was November. It seemed that Tang Hong couldn't hold himself back and changed his shift early.

"En." Tang Hong nodded, "It's a holiday today, and Yao and the others are in the kitchen. I brought this for you specially."

Tang Hong took out a small porcelain plate from the wooden barrel: tender tofu in oyster sauce, fried yuba with celery, three-color silver hook, golden cabbage, vegetarian three diced... There are seven vegetarian dishes, served with a bowl of steaming white rice, which looks Extremely delicious.

"You... this is enough to take care of me, ha." Tang Muzhi took out his share, "Thank you, every copy is the same, right? Give it to others while it's hot."

"Huh? You don't want to take a bite first?" Tang Hong said aggrievedly.

"Okay... okay." Tang Muzhi picked up a piece of cabbage with his chopsticks. The heat was just right, the juice was very thick, sweet and sour, and very delicious.

This Phnom Penh cabbage is one of the most traditional and famous vegetarian dishes in Shaanxi Cien Temple Vegetarian Restaurant. The cabbage from the northwest is large, tender and has less water content. Especially when paired with stir-fried red dried chili peppers, the familiar taste is immediately apparent.

"You must have made this, it smells so delicious!" Tang Muzhi praised with a thumbs up.

Tang Hong left very satisfied.

Yao and Lao Mian must have used Sichuan's Erjingtiao peppers for their cooking. They don't like spicy food, so they wouldn't use northwest peppers just to take care of him.

Moreover, Tang Hong's cooking was as salty and as delicate as his own. She had lived with everyone for almost a year, so she naturally knew these details very well.

The portion of each dish is very small, and Tang Muzhi basically knows who made it after just tasting it.

Three-Colored Silver Hook is one of the famous vegetarian dishes in the Jade Buddha Temple in Shanghai. It is mainly made of canned mushrooms, and is stir-fried and thickened with winter bamboo shoots, carrots and green beans. It is the most difficult to operate, but at the end of the dish, the mushroom strips are fried. No peanut oil was used, and the mushrooms had a faint vanilla flavor. It must have been made by Lao Mian. He learned from Western chefs and likes to use olive oil.

The vegetarian sandwich is probably made from Taotao, which simplifies the steps and the salt is unclear, but it is very fresh and tender.In fact, she doesn't like cooking. She likes Ge You to lie on the bench and eat food after being in a daze, and then make fun of Gao Shaoshan and Tang Wu, who are often disgraced. However, in order to cater to the "corporate culture" of cooking, which is popular in Tangmen ( Actually being coerced), she embarked on the path of a hard-working cook at a young age.

But this is still good. When the tasks are not heavy, everyone will occupy the kitchen to cook for themselves. Yang Lie, Tang Miaoxing and others often support them. Many people, including Tang Muzhi, have improved their cooking skills. This generation of Tangmen—— Hungry to death!

Tang Hong placed the meals at the entrances of several pits. Tang Muzhi glanced casually and saw that there were eight people there.

In other words, besides Tang Muzhi, Ye Kexin and Xu Xin, there were five people in the cave that he had never interacted with at all.

These five people are most likely preparing for the refining of alchemy. This cave is huge, and it is a treasure land for all Qi practitioners to meditate. There is such a place in the sect.

Tang Sect does not have extremely advanced internal skills, and the only ones who really need to practice in seclusion here are Danqi.

……

After Tang Hong delivered the meal, she returned to Tang Muzhi carrying the empty tube.

"By the way, junior uncle..."

Tang Hong took out the brush and folded rice paper from her arms.

"I heard that you wanted to practice painting, so I brought you paper and pen. Remember to tell me if you need anything else."

Tang Muzhi thanked him and accepted the pen and paper.

He wanted to practice drawing horses.

Horses are his favorite animal. Sometimes in his dreams, he often sees the spectacular sight of horses galloping in the snow, leaping thousands of miles.

As we walked further down Suzhou, we reached a military horse farm south of Minle. Tang Mu's son was often taken to watch the horses by Tang Yuan.

When Tai Chi moves, it generates yang, and when it moves, it generates stillness; when it is still, it generates yin, and when it moves, it moves again.

In his eyes, the horse is the most vital animal, as well as the anode and the moving pole.

People who are good at horses will feel extremely quiet on horseback. If the combination of movement and stillness can be expressed with the technique of Danqing Chinese painting, it will be a great blessing.

After eating and drinking enough, and sleeping quality comparable to that of Zhuang Gong, Tang Muzhi polished the ink, followed his memory, and began to draw.

……

When the paper tent is cold, it will be warm, and when the monks and vegetables are full, they will rest.

A hundred years is like a dream, what else can I ask for.

The temperature dropped sharply in the middle of the night. Tang Muzhi didn't know how Ye Kexin was doing. He was a little concerned, but he didn't go over to ask.

He knew that Ye Kexin was a stranger, but his cultivation time would not be very long. Ye Qiuyan said that although their parents were both strangers, and the two sisters had shown their talent for energy refining when they were young, their parents They have no intention of teaching them how to practice Qi. Until now, Ye Qiuyan knew everything about the alien circle, but he had never integrated into it.

Ye Kexin started practicing Qi and keeping in good health shortly after she was diagnosed with ALS five or six years ago. However, Tang Muzhi saw with the naked eye that her life magnetic field was not as weak as that of normal people, so her physique would not be very strong. When she was not suffering from the disease, she was only weaker than ordinary people. Slightly stronger.

"Let Honghong deliver a quilt tomorrow."

Tang Muzhi thought so, and stood outside in linen clothes to look at the moon, when someone came to visit him in the middle of the night.

"Old Sun?"

Tang Muzhi saw clearly that the person coming was none other than Dr. Sun, who had promised to treat him but had not done anything yet.

"Ah - I'm here to claim my life." Dr. Sun used a flashlight and slowly "floated" over, startling Tang Mu. He reacted randomly and took a closer look. It turned out that this crooked old man had done an actor's trick. ——The ghost step makes the whole person float over like a ghost.

"Hey! Brat, you must have been shocked." Seeing that he saw through it, Old Man Sun stopped pretending, turned off the flashlight, and stepped over.

I have to say that his ghost step is definitely a real skill, and maybe not many people will be willing to work hard to inherit it in a few decades.

"I'm here to treat your boy's illness - with special permission from the head of the door, I can enter this cave anytime I want during this period." Old Man Sun said proudly.

Tang Muzhi looked at his stitched right foot, and then at Old Man Sun, who had nothing in his hand except a flashlight, and said helplessly: "I don't have anything with me... What do you think? How to treat it?"

Old Man Sun said with a surprised look on his face: "You kid, be nice to me. I have worked so hard to study the treatment plan. I specially found a disciple who is good at Qi Xian to study for a few days!"
