“Golden Needle?”
Zhao Yun froze.
Generally, silver needles were used for acupuncture, but gold needles, where to find them?
Ye Qiu said, “The Dragon King has been hit by the Yin Yang Snake Compulsion, the compulsion is in his body right now, the golden needles represent supreme rigidity and yang, while the compulsion is a yin and evil thing, so it’s just the right thing to restrain it.”
Zhao Yun was in trouble and said, “Silver needles are easy to find, but I’ve never seen gold needles before, I don’t know where to find them.”
A healthcare doctor said, “Xiao Zhao, Sun Saint Hand has a set of golden needles and carries them with him all year round.”
“Oh?”Zhao Yun’s eyes lit up and he busily said, “Sun Sage Hand, can I borrow your golden needles for a bit?”
Sun Sage Hand ignored Zhao Yun and instead looked at Ye Qiu and said, “Did you just say that the Dragon King is suffering from a parasitic poison?”
“Yes.”Ye Qiu nodded his head.
“You want to treat it with acupuncture?”Sun Sage Hand asked again.
“Right.”Ye Qiu said, “If there are golden needles, it will only take half an hour for that Dragon King to wake up.”
Sun Sage Hand looked deeply at Ye Qiu and saw that Ye Qiu’s face was full of confidence before he turned around and walked out of the bedroom without saying a word.
“Sun Sage Hand, don’t leave!”Zhao Yun was anxious and hurriedly followed him out.
After about a minute, Sun Sage Hand and Zhao Yun came back in, and at this time, Sun Sage Hand had an additional pillbox in his hands.
This medicine box was made of rosewood, the colour was black and glowing, it looked like something that had been around for a long time, exactly the same as the medicine boxes that ancient Chinese doctors carried when they practiced medicine.
Sun Sage Hand bent down, gently opened the medicine box and took out a cowhide wallet from inside, then asked Ye Qiu again, “Can the Dragon King really be cured with a golden needle?”
“Can! It definitely can!”
Only then did Sun Sage Hand hand the cowhide folder to Ye Qiu’s hand, “Here you go.”
Ye Qiu opened the cowhide folder.
Instantly, a golden light pierced his eyes.
Only a row of golden needles were placed neatly in the middle of the cowhide folder.
Ye Qiu quickly counted them, no more, no less, just one hundred and eight, and he also noticed that on the leftmost side of the needle folder, there were also two words embroidered in gold thread:
Imperial Gift!
Ye Qiu’s heart was shaken.
Could it be that Sun Sage Hand’s set of golden needles was an ancient palace item?
Sun Sage Hand said, “My family’s ancestor used to be a travelling doctor, back then, Empress Dowager Cixi suffered from a brain disease, which was not cured for a long time, and she was in a trance, in the end, Empress Dowager Cixi sent someone to search for my ancestor, and my ancestor cured Empress Dowager Cixi’s brain disease with acupuncture, Empress Dowager Cixi was overjoyed, and she appointed my ancestor as a Sixth Grade Imperial Physician on the spot.”
“But my ancestor did not want to stay in the palace, wanted to walk in the world, for the poor poor people to cure, on the spot refused to serve as an official.”
“When Empress Dowager Cixi learnt the reason, she rewarded my ancestor with this set of golden needles.”
Sun Sage Hand sighed, “Ever since my ancestor’s death, this set of golden needles became an heirloom of our family, and has been passed down to me.”
“I’ve carried this set of golden needles with me since I was a child, but I’ve never used it, I was hoping that it would always remind me to remember the guidelines of practicing medicine and not to bring shame to my ancestors.”
“Today, I’m lending it to you, I hope you can cure the Dragon King.”
“Thanks.”Ye Qiu bent down and gave Sun Sage Hand a bow.
Although this old man was rather wordy, his heart was not bad.
Moreover, Sun Sage Hand was able to lend him his ancestral heirloom to use, this broad-mindedness was admirable.
“Kid, I only have one request, and that is to cure the Dragon King, otherwise I won’t be able to spare you.”Sun Sage Hand said with a stern face again.
“Please rest assured Elder Sun, I will not let you down.”Ye Qiu then said to Zhao Yun, “Brother Zhao, help sterilise the golden needle.”
“It’s better if I do it!”Sun Sheng hand took the initiative to take the alcohol, and with a serious look, he sterilised the golden needle.
At this time, Ye Qiu undid the Dragon King’s clothes.
He saw that half of the Dragon King’s body was red and purple, and the other half was frighteningly white, and when he pressed his palm on it, the red half was like burning charcoal, very hot, while the white half was like ten thousand years of ice, cold to the bone marrow.
The Yin Yang Snake Compulsion had already invaded the Dragon King’s heart chakra.
“Here.”Sun Sheng hand handed the sterilised golden needle to Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu took the golden needle and quickly stuck a needle in the heart of the Dragon King’s eyebrow, followed by a second golden needle in the top of the Dragon King’s head.
Recognising the acupuncture points was strangely accurate!
The needles were laid down without any delay!
Sun Sage Hand froze for a moment, it was the first time he had seen such a bold application of needles.
It was known that the throat was a vital part of the human body, and the slightest carelessness would not only fail to save the patient, but would kill the patient instead, so the average doctor would avoid the throat when using acupuncture.
But Ye Qiu was very decisive when he placed the needle.
“What a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers!”Sun Sage Hand secretly said in his heart. Even he didn’t dare to apply the needle like this.
The other three healthcare doctors were also wide-eyed and full of doubts.
“Administering needles like this is a bit bold!”
“If it were me, I wouldn’t dare to administer the needle like this.”
“What kind of needle technique is this? How come I’ve never seen it before?”
“Sage Sun, do you know what kind of acupuncture technique Dr Ye is performing?”A healthcare doctor asked.
Just then, he heard Ye Qiu say, “Sun Sage Hand, please hand me those three longest golden needles.”
Sun Sage Hand immediately handed Ye Qiu three golden needles.
These three golden needles were more than seven inches long, as thin as a hair, very sharp, and just looking at them caused one’s heart to tremble.
Ye Qiu pinched the three golden needles with his fingers, and with a swoosh, he simultaneously stuck the three golden needles into the Dragon King’s heart, leaving only the two-inch long tail outside the body.
Immediately following, he flexed his fingers and flicked.
“Buzz!”
The three golden needles instantly trembled, emitting a “buzzing” chirp, while at the same time, there was a stream of qi flowing between the three needles.
“Moving needles with qi! Heavens, you actually know how to move needles with qi!”
Sun Shengshi looked at Ye Qiu in shock and screamed out.
“What, this is moving needles with qi?”
The other three healthcare doctors were all shocked as well, their faces full of disbelief.
They were all Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioners, they all knew acupuncture, and they also naturally knew how difficult it was to transport needles with qi.
In order to move needles with qi, one must first cultivate “qi”, and the so-called qi, to put it bluntly, was internal energy.
This was also the reason why many famous doctors in the past were Taoist priests or warlocks, because they knew internal energy.
Some doctors had spent their entire lives without cultivating internal energy, but Ye Qiu was only in his early twenties, and not only had he cultivated internal energy, he was also able to skilfully use the needle with qi, which was too shocking.
If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, I’m afraid they wouldn’t believe it even if they were beaten to death.
“Since Doctor Ye can move needles with qi, I think the Dragon King is really saved.”
Sun Sage Hand returned to his senses and stared at Ye Qiu with anticipation in his eyes.
Ye Qiu then proceeded to stick a dozen more golden needles on the Dragon King’s body, and then his face became serious.
Because the next step was the most crucial step, if it succeeded, the Dragon King would be cured immediately, if it failed, the Dragon King would definitely die!
