Chapter 19: Astonishing Skill Unveiled
Then, under the complex gaze of all the doctors, Qin Di suddenly walked forward, his expression serious. This was his first time using acupuncture to treat an illness, and he didn't dare be careless. Looking at a nurse standing beside the bed, he said solemnly, "Please remove the patient's clothes, I'm going to administer the needle!"
The nurse was very cooperative and quickly removed Old Lady Ji's clothes.
Qin Di took a deep breath, and the doctors all knew that he was going to use his needle.
However, just as Qin Di seemed to be about to show off his skills and leave everyone in the dust, he turned around with a serious expression and looked at Ji Zhong, saying: "Secretary Ji, before I start treating you, I have one more request. Hmm, that is to say, there's one rule I follow when treating people."
As soon as these words came out, all the experts couldn't help but take a cold breath!
My goodness!
Secretary Ji has already given you a great deal of face by letting you treat Old Man Ji's illness, what more rules do you want?
What's the point of having a life if you don't know how to live, you'd better get your illness treated first! As long as you're cured, no matter what rules or regulations, the Ji family will agree without hesitation.
Li Xiangxi heard this and frowned, feeling that he was too unaware of the situation. At this time, are your rules more important than Old Lady Ji's illness?
You're too insolent!
As expected, Ji Zhongxin's face sank upon hearing this, and his tone was somewhat stiff as he said, "What rules does Dr. Qin have?"
"Absurd!"
Zhang Jinhua coldly muttered in the crowd, "The illness isn't even cured yet, and you dare to make demands. If letting you blindly stumble upon a cure for the illness, would you really want Secretary Ji to apologize and serve tea to you?" He didn't believe Qin Di could truly cure Old Ji's illness, thinking that Qin Di was just pretending to be mysterious. But on the other hand, if Qin Di really had no confidence, would he dare to be so arrogant?
Because he was absolutely sure, Qin Di dared to make such a request. In his mind, a string of numbers flashed by quickly - one day, ten days, one month, ten months, one year, two years... The Divine Doctor's Double started, and Qin Di directly ignored the previous numbers, looking at Ji Zhongxin with an air of righteousness: "My rule is very simple. Is anyone present willing to use three years of their lifespan in exchange for Old Man Ji's health?"
"Awesome!"
"Making a fuss over nothing!"
"This is simply ridiculous!"
"Is there anyone who heals like you?"
A group of doctors scolded in a low voice, indignantly, if it weren't for the fact that this was Old Lady Ji's sickroom, they would have cursed his mother.
Only Ji Zhuxin couldn't help but let out an "ah" at these words, looking at Qin Di with a very strange expression. She clearly remembered that when Qin Di was rescuing the woman who was hit by her car, he seemed to have said something similar, but at that time, it was one day, whereas now it's three years.
In the same situation, Qin Di said almost the same words. With Ji Zhu's intelligence, she naturally sensed that there must be an unknown mystery behind this. However, in her heart, she believed more in Qin Di's medical skills.
"Who is willing to use three years of their life in exchange for Old Ji's health?" Qin Di continued to ask, looking around the circle and pointing at Zhang Jinhua with a meaningful smile: "Director Zhang, are you willing to use three years of your life as the price to exchange for my treatment of Old Ji?"
"I..." Zhang Jinhua almost didn't think before he wanted an answer, but as soon as the word "I" escaped his lips, it seemed that some unstoppable force from the depths of his being made his heart suddenly ache, and the rest of the words were swallowed back hard.
Ji Zhongxin suddenly felt a sense of abnormality, he abruptly lifted his head and looked at Qin Di, as if there was some kind of illusion. At this moment, Qin Di's face seemed to be exceptionally demonic.
That originally plain face suddenly became full of evil spirit.
"I'm willing."
Just as Ji Zhongxin felt the change in Qin Di's temperament, Ji Zhuixin said loudly: "Doctor Qin, I am willing to use three years of my life as a price to exchange for my grandfather's health!"
Ding Dong!
The contract was fulfilled, and the numbers stopped jumping. Qin Di's life quota increased by three years.
With a soft sigh, as if he was deeply regretful that Zhang Jinhua had not fallen for it, Qin Di looked at Ji Zhuxin's face which had turned pale in an instant and said: "Alright, I'll do as you wish!"
This time, he didn't waste any words and suddenly turned around, picked up the box of acupuncture needles from the treatment tool cart, walked back to the bedside, opened the needle package, spread his right hand with five fingers apart, and slid his fingertips over the needle tips. Four silver needles, two long and two short, were already clutched in his hand.
This move made the only Chinese medicine expert, Dr. Zhao, shine in front of his eyes! His medical skills are not bad, but his eyes are particularly poisonous. From Qin's movement of taking the needle, it can be concluded that this young man is absolutely a master of acupuncture, because this move is not just a simple needle-taking style, directly ignoring the holding and pinching style, and can be used to administer needles to patients.
As expected, Qin Di's five fingers held the needle, aimed at the acupoint, and with a quick motion, two 3.6-inch and two 1.6-inch needles were inserted into the patient's acupoints.
As soon as the needle entered his body, Old Ji suddenly let out an "ah" and then he abruptly opened his eyes and said: "It hurts, it itches, but it feels very comfortable... Kid, give me a few more pricks."
A sense of urgency is clearly audible in his voice.
The expert doctors were instantly stunned, everyone looked at each other in a daze, with expressions of shock and amazement.
This is also unbelievable!
You've just started treatment and you're already having a reaction, what does that say about us experts?
But how could they know that at this moment, Ji Lao's feeling couldn't be described as comfortable, it was as if his whole body had relaxed, as if he had transcended the world. If someone had also tried to endure months of dullness in their chest, a dull pain in the upper right abdomen, and then for a month, nosebleeds, subcutaneous bleeding, nausea, and vomiting, they would be able to experience Ji Lao's suffering at this moment, this kind of suffering that ordinary people couldn't bear.
And the young doctor in front of him, who was suspected by everyone, simply gave a few injections and made Madame Ji feel a warm current flowing through her body immediately. The illness that had tortured her to death just now disappeared instantly, what a wonderful feeling it was.
Ignoring the group of experts behind him who were in a state of shock, Qin Di's expression was focused and serious, his entire being entering a spiritual state. He quickly pulled out several silver needles from his needle case and inserted them into the patient's acupoints at an incredible speed, sometimes stabbing, sometimes lifting, sometimes inserting, and sometimes pulling out. In the blink of an eye, Old Lady Ji's body was filled with eighteen silver needles.
As the expert, Zhao Dafu, looked down further, his expression became increasingly solemn. Then, with a look of astonishment, he whispered: "This... is this the Closed Meridian Method from the Taiyi Needle Technique?"
"Taiyi Shennan?" Li Xiangxi's calm demeanor faltered, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath: "This acupuncture method isn't already lost, is it? No wonder he emphasized the importance of having all nine needles... Hmm, no, this isn't Taiyi Shennan at all. According to Han Yifeng's 'Taiyi Shennan Xinfa', Taiyi needle technique is actually a type of acupressure, whereas Dr. Qin's hand technique is clearly from the school of acupuncture that uses tonifying and purging methods to close the pulse."
Li Xiangxi is not a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner by birth, but he has extraordinary vision and has read countless ancient medical works. For any kind of acupuncture method, he can see some clues.
"Mr. Li is absolutely right, whether it's Han Yifeng's 'Taiyi Divine Needle Mind Method', Kong Guangpei's 'Taiyi Divine Needle Collection and Explanation', or Chen Xiuyuan's 'Taiyi Divine Needle', they all emphasize moxibustion rather than acupuncture, so don't spout nonsense." Zhang Jinhua looked at Zhao Daifu with a face full of admiration, and felt annoyed in her heart. At this time, how could you inflate someone else's pride and undermine your own prestige?
No matter what, you gotta hold on for me!
Qin Di, who had fully entered the state of Godly Doctor Unparalleled, was completely unaware that his needle technique had sparked a debate. He concentrated all his attention, continuously inserting and withdrawing needles, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, without any gaps or pauses in between.
Finally, after forty-nine silver needles were inserted into the patient's body, Qin Di secretly let out a breath. These forty-nine needles cannot be biased, moved, too deep or too shallow, and not one can be inserted incorrectly. If there is an error, all previous efforts will be in vain, and it will be necessary to start over from scratch. Moreover, it may also damage the patient's internal organs, because each of these forty-nine needles was inserted into the patient's liver.
The needle enters the hole, and what's left is naturally through manual manipulation, finger technique, to seal off the patient's liver microvessels.
Qin Di took a deep breath, planning to make one last effort and thoroughly complete the acupuncture treatment. However, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Zhang Jinhua's detestable face, which suddenly infuriated him. He let out a cold laugh and said: "These forty-nine needles, ten of them have been inserted into the patient's liver, sealing off the main blood vessels inside the liver; nineteen needles have sealed off the acupoints surrounding the liver to reduce the supply of blood to the liver; eleven needles are positioned around the four sides of the liver tumor, mainly to prevent the tumor from absorbing nutrients through the capillaries in the liver; and the last nine needles are piercing needles, used to destroy the tumor, making cancer cells weak, losing their ability to proliferate and metastasize."
"Isn't inserting a needle into the liver damaging to the patient's liver? Moreover, in acupuncture, the main function of the needles is to stimulate the acupoints and dispel stagnation. As far as I know, I've never heard that acupuncture can pierce internal organs?" Zhang Jinhua retorted, raising questions.
"Superficial!"
Qin Di didn't even glance at him, but coldly smiled and said: "The needle was inserted into the patient's liver, but it wasn't on a healthy part of the liver. Except for the ten needles that sealed off the area around the tumor, the other thirty-nine needles were all inserted into the tumor itself, each one without harming the healthy liver tissue."
Zhang Jinhua was stunned and couldn't help but take a deep breath. Without the aid of any equipment, each needle was able to accurately pierce the tumor block...
"Is this really impossible?" Zhang Jinhua exclaimed.
Qin Di gave him a cold glance, too lazy to bother with him, and looked at him with a disdainful gaze, as if saying "if you have the ability, come on!"
This is a blatant disregard.
This look was humiliating and didn't give face, in front of everyone, thoroughly ignoring Zhang Jinhua, making the dean's face very pale.
Looking at Zhang Jinhua's embarrassed face, Qin Di sneered and said: "Impossible? That is impossible for a mediocre doctor like you, but for me, recognizing acupoints and inserting needles is too easy. And I used ten silver needles to seal the main blood vessels in the patient's liver, which was just the beginning. My real purpose is not only to slow down the blood flow in these blood vessels, but also to completely cut off the cancer cells' ability to absorb nutrients from the capillaries."
Then this young man, Shen Yi Wushuang, didn't give Zhang Jinhua a chance to retort. In the stunned gaze of everyone in the room, he began to perform acupuncture.
This time, Qin Di didn't sew with a needle. His ten fingers moved in unison, plucking, pinching, and tapping the forty-nine silver needles, moving swiftly like flowing clouds and water, extremely fast, making people's eyes dizzy.
As Qin Di moved the needle every time, Old Lady Ji clearly felt that there seemed to be an extra warm current in her body, and all over her body, there was a kind of refreshing feeling.
He opened his eyes wide and stared at Qin Di, only to see him drenched in sweat, pale and exhausted, but his expression was unusually focused. His hands moved swiftly like lightning, his eyes following the needle as it danced, while his face grew increasingly pale. He felt that this young man had given his all to save his life, and he couldn't help but feel both moved and heartbroken. He gently asked, "Young man, why don't you take a rest first?"
"Don't move, don't speak, the needle has been inserted, it can only be done in one breath, if it's interrupted halfway, all previous efforts will be wasted." Qin Di's eyelids didn't even flicker, his hands still moved with dazzling speed.
Finally, Qin Di's gaze fell on the last nine silver needles on Ji Lao's body. He said seriously: "These nine needles are the key to breaking up the tumor block and making cancer cells lose their ability to proliferate and metastasize. However, when these nine needles move, you will feel a numbness and itching sensation. At that time, you must endure it."
He was afraid that when he finally got to the last stitch, Old Lady Ji would hold back and not feel numbness, so he reminded her.
Seeing the opponent nodding, Qin Di's expression was solemn, these last nine needles must be accurate in hitting the acupoints, quick in inserting the needles, and achieve the effect of striking the target with one hit.
He took a deep breath and suddenly made his move, swift as lightning.
Nine needles, all spinning at once, and then a tremble. Qin Di quickly withdrew his hand, and then he rapidly retreated backwards. Almost simultaneously, Puff! Puff! Puff! Nine times, nine black ink-like **, like nine fountains, sprayed out from the needle tips, dark and black, mixed with a fishy smell that made people want to vomit upon smelling it.
Success!
Qin Di quickly pulled the acupuncture needle out of Old Lady Ji's body, then collapsed weakly into the chair beside the bed, panting heavily. His strength was completely exhausted, but he still looked at Old Lady Ji and asked: "Old master, how do you feel?"
"Ah, so comfortable! So very comfortable!" After a moment of unbearable itchiness, Old Man Ji burst out laughing heartily, that long-forgotten feeling of comfort and relief sending shivers down his spine. His originally pale and sickly face suddenly flushed with a healthy glow.
What incredible skill!
At this moment, Qin Di's skill shocked the entire audience.
Everyone watched this shocking scene in the medical field. At that moment, Qin Di, he, turned the tide, transformed decay into magic.
