Chapter 22 Down a Little

  As soon as Tang Xiaosheng heard the four words "Nine Yin True Classics", his eyes lit up instantly, this is a peerless martial art! Think back to those years, Dong Xie, Xi Du, Nan Di, Bei Gai, and Zhong Shentong several old guys fought each other to death for this thing.

  He can't find a play to act in anyway today, so it's better for him to stay at home and practice martial arts.

  After finishing breakfast, Guo Xiang returned to her bedroom to practice guitar. Since she had this guitar, she spent almost all her thoughts on it and even neglected to practice martial arts. Meanwhile, Little Dragon Girl began teaching Tang Xiaosheng the martial art of "Nine Yin True Classics" in the living room.

  Regarding the art of cavity striking, Tang Xiaosheng had actually learned from Guo Xiang before, but he only mastered one move from "Lan Hua Fu Xue Shou". The cavity striking chapter in "Jiu Yin Zhen Jing" covers a much richer scope.

  However, so far, Xiaolongnu's memory has only recovered partially, and her memories of martial arts are also incomplete. Therefore, she can only teach some of the martial arts from the "Nine Yin True Classics" point-hitting chapter.

  The principle of Dim Mak is not complicated, it only needs to concentrate the internal force on the vital points of the human body, seal off the person's meridians, and can achieve the effect of controlling the activity of the human body.

  The so-called Ah Shi points refer to the intersections of certain meridians in the human body. If an Ah Shi point is sealed, it will lead to qi stagnation and blood stasis, causing partial or total loss of motor function in the body.

  Therefore, the two most important keys to learning Qigong are: First, locate the exact position of the Dantian; Second, inject internal energy into the Dantian.

  Unfortunately, Tang Xiaosheng's understanding of acupoints was very superficial. This can't be blamed entirely on him, ordinary modern people who don't study traditional Chinese medicine or massage wouldn't have the leisure to research this sort of thing.

  It's okay, Baidu has everything.

  To clarify the positions of various acupoints on the human body, Tang Xiaosheng used his mobile phone's internet function to log onto Baidu and searched for "human body acupoints" in Baidu Images. In less than a second, hundreds of naked human body acupoint diagrams appeared before his eyes.

  He was looking at the pictures on his phone screen while identifying the positions of various acupoints on himself: "Yongquan point is on the sole, Weizhong point is at the end of the spine, Zanzhu point is on the inner side of the buttocks, Qihai point is in the middle of the lower abdomen, Tianshu point is on both sides of the navel, Shenque point is above the chest, Tanzhong point is to the right of the left nipple, Guanyuan point..."

  Under the guidance of Little Dragon Girl, after a morning's study, Tang Xiaosheng had a general understanding of the positions of human body acupoints. There are hundreds of key points on the human body, and it is unrealistic to understand them all at once. He just learned more than a dozen most commonly used key points first.

  According to Xiaolongnv's introduction, the acupoints can be divided into 18 categories according to their effects: numbness points, soreness points, itching points, laughter points, crying points, dumbness points, dizziness points, fixed points and death points. Each category has multiple operation techniques. Among them, the fixed point is the easiest for beginners to learn, so Tang Xiaosheng started learning the fixed point first.

  The principle of acupuncture is not difficult to understand, and after Xiaolongnu explained it for over an hour, Tang Xiaosheng had a certain understanding. However, just understanding the principle of acupuncture does not mean that one has learned acupuncture. As the saying goes, "all talk and no practice is false technique", the most important thing about acupuncture is practice.

  Xiao Long Nu's teaching experience was quite rich, after finishing the theoretical lesson, she decided to let Tang Xiao Sheng practice immediately, saying: "Tang Xiao Sheng, since you already understand the principle of the Nine Yin Scripture's point-hitting method, now try hitting my 'Shen Cang Hole'."

  Tang Xiaosheng nodded.

  In the "Nine Yin Scripture" point hole chapter, it is introduced that using seven points and three points of internal force to connect two holes on the human body, the 'Shen Cang Hole', can temporarily make a person lose their ability to move. This is one of the simplest among many fixed hole techniques.

  "Shen Cang Hole" is located in the chest of the human body.

  Tang Xiaosheng then calmed down, looked at the chest of Little Dragon Girl, identified the location of Shen Cang acupoint, and swung his right hand to pat her chest twice with a "slap".

  "Dragon boy, did you get it?" Tang Xiaosheng asked hastily after finishing his move.

  Little Dragon Girl shook her head and said, "Not enough strength."

  Tang Xiaosheng expressed his concerns: "I'm just afraid of using too much force and accidentally hurting Long'er."

  "Rest assured, with your current level of skill, you can't hurt me."

  Since that's the case, Tang Xiao Sheng didn't hold back anymore. He secretly activated the "Reversal Pulse Technique", gathering the weak internal energy within his body to the tips of his right hand's index and middle fingers. With a burst of strength, he tapped twice more on Little Dragon Maiden's chest.

  "Is this enough force?" Tang Xiaosheng asked again.

  "The strength is enough, it's just that the position of the acupoint is slightly off, should be a bit lower." Little Dragon Maiden whispered.

  Go down?

  Tang Xiaosheng didn't not understand that he should press down, but rather he didn't dare to press down again. The Shen Cang acupoint is located just above the chest, and pressing down further would easily lead to a heart attack.

  "Little Dragon Maiden, the most important thing about acupuncture is to accurately identify the acupoints. Before making a move, you must have a clear plan in mind, and your heart and hands must be coordinated, so that you can hit the target with one strike. Never make a reckless move."

  Tang Xiaosheng nodded.

  Since she didn't mind, he shouldn't be hesitant either. He calmed himself down and fixed his eyes on the Shenzang acupoint on Little Dragon Maiden's chest again.

  It was the first time he had stared so brazenly at a beautiful woman's chest, his heart racing like a deer, and even his breathing became rapid.

  "Tang Xiaosheng, you must remain calm!"

  He secretly reminded himself in his heart, took a deep breath, and after a moment, he swung his right hand for the third time to point at Xiaolongnv's chest.

  "This time should be right, shouldn't it?"

  The little dragon girl sighed lightly, seemingly a bit disappointed, shaking her head and saying: "The acupoint is still not right, the position should be a bit lower."

  Go down?

  It's really getting out of hand...

  Tang Xiaosheng knew that the time had come to test himself. He must grasp the measure well and not lose his grip. Whether he could hit the Shen Cang acupoint depended on this one move.

  He focused his mind, trying to eliminate the distractions in his brain, and his eyes once again fixed intently on Little Dragon Girl's chest, confirming the position of the acupoint. After a moment, he felt a bit calmer in his heart, and his right hand moved, pointing forward again.

  Pffft! Pffft!

  Two muffled sounds.

  "Not bad!"

  The little dragon girl took two light steps forward and said faintly, "Although the position is slightly off this time, it's basically spot on."

  Tang Xiaosheng let out a slight sigh of relief, as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. He furrowed his brow and asked again, "Long'er, since you've already been struck by the acupuncture points, how are you still able to move around?"

  "I used the 'Reversal of Meridian Method' to adjust the meridians inside my body. Once the meridians were reversed, the positions of the acupoints changed and they naturally came undone."

  Tang Xiaosheng suddenly realized that the "Reversal of Meridian Method" could indeed change the palace and swap positions, and automatically resolve the acupoints.

  After just this practice, Tang Xiaosheng has already learned a basic method of acupuncture. The Little Dragon Girl then had him continue to practice the second method, which involved pressing the "Huagai" and "Tiantu" points on the human body.

  The two acupoints were also located on the chest, Tang Xiaosheng hesitated for a moment, after aiming at the acupoint, he pointed to the front of Xiaolongnv's chest again.

  "Ah!"

  Just as he was about to make his move, the Little Dragon Maiden suddenly let out a pained cry, her hands clutching at her chest, her delicate eyebrows furrowed in distress, and an expression of agony on her exquisite face.
