"No problem! You will be the one to guide the child when the time comes!"
Ye Feng immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and nodded without thinking.
The child is the result of the hard work of both parents. Whether he takes the father's surname or the mother's surname, it is just a code name. He is an orphan and does not care so much about these things.
"Thank you..."
Old Nie held Ye Feng's hand tightly, and for a moment he couldn't hold back his tears.
Nie Yuan's performance broke his heart and made him feel that all the hard work of the first half of his life had been wasted. But now Ye Feng gave him hope and a reason and mission to continue living.
"The Ten Needles of Divine Fire are the secret of the Nie family. Since ancient times, they have been passed down to men but not women. The most critical needles will never be passed down to outsiders."
After sighing for a long time, Old Master Nie slowly said: "The Divine Fire Ten Needles are different from other acupuncture methods. They do not use silver needles for acupuncture, but twist various herbs into needles. If necessary, they are ignited with fire and pressed on the acupuncture points. Because its shape is similar to silver needles and its method is similar to acupuncture, but it also has fireworks, so it is named the Divine Fire Ten Needles!"
"Moxibustion?"
Ye Feng's eyes moved, and he looked at Grandpa Nie in surprise.
He said that when he saw Nie Yuan performing the Ten Needles of Divine Fire before, he always felt something was strange. It turned out that after all the fuss, the Ten Needles of Divine Fire were not acupuncture with silver needles, but moxibustion with bundles of medicinal herbs.
However, this method is not uncommon, and it seems to have the same effect as the long-standing moxibustion method.
"It is similar to moxibustion, but completely different. The effect is much stronger than moxibustion, and more importantly, it has an extraordinary effect in treating some difficult and complicated diseases."
Old Master Nie nodded, but then shook his head and continued slowly: "The Ten Needles of Divine Fire are very profound. I have only mastered seven of them. The remaining three needles are beyond my ability, so I will not mislead you. I will only teach you the formula..."
"Sanli and Neiting points, Quchi and Hegu points. Weizhong and Chengshan points, down to Kunlun. Huantiao and Yangling points, Tongli and Lieque points. Use the method of Dan for Hedan, and the method of Jie for Hejie. Few people know this method, so don't reveal the secret."
Every word was difficult to understand. According to Ye Feng's medical skills, he could infer that this acupuncture rhyme contained many acupuncture points, which should be the acupuncture points corresponding to each needle.
However, if you savor them carefully, these verses seem to contain mysteries and there seems to be a lot of content worth pondering.
What puzzled Ye Feng was that the set of Ten Divine Fire Needles mentioned by Old Man Nie seemed to have only eight needles, and he did not mention the last two needles.
"The ninth and tenth needles of the Ten Needles of Divine Fire are not in the Nie family..."
Old Master Nie noticed Ye Feng's doubts, smiled and shook his head, and said: "This set of ten divine fire needles originated from Wang Weiyi, a famous acupuncturist in the Southern Song Dynasty. It was obtained by my Nie family's ancestor by chance. But when my Nie family obtained it, this set of acupuncture techniques only had eight needles. The last two needles were lost in the long river of time due to war. However, the ancestor once said that the content of the last two needles is very likely to exist on the Tiansheng Bronze Man."
Wang Weiyi!
The Heavenly Saint Bronze Man? !
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng's brows couldn't help but twist into a knot.
There is no Chinese medicine practitioner who does not know Wang Weiyi. This Chinese medicine master made great contributions to acupuncture. First, he re-examined the Mingtang Acupuncture Diagram. Second, he wrote the New Bronze Man Acupoint Acupuncture Diagram. Third, and the greatest contribution, was to cast an acupuncture bronze man with the help of Emperor Renzong of Song during the Tiansheng period.
The height of this bronze man is similar to that of a normal adult. The chest and back can be opened and closed. The internal organs are carved inside the body. Acupuncture points are carved on the surface of the bronze man, and the names of the acupuncture points are engraved next to the acupuncture points. At the same time, the holes on the surface of the bronze man are sealed with yellow wax and filled with water. If the acupuncture points are selected accurately, water will flow out when the needle is inserted. If the acupuncture points are not selected accurately, the needle cannot be inserted.
It can be said that this bronze man represents the highest wisdom of the Chinese medical and scientific communities at that time.
Unfortunately, due to the frequent wars during the Song Dynasty, the Tiansheng Bronze Man was lost among the people with the fall of the Song Dynasty. Although it was recast in later dynasties, it was impossible to reproduce the wonderful scene of accurate acupuncture points, water flowing out when the needle was inserted, and the acupuncture points being inaccurate, so the needle could not be inserted.
Throughout the ages, countless Chinese medicine predecessors have been searching for the whereabouts of the Tiansheng Bronze Man, but unfortunately, there has been no result.
If the contents of the last two needles of the Ten Needles of Divine Fire were really recorded on the Heavenly Saint Bronze Man, then the chance of recovery would be extremely difficult.
"The Nie family has been searching for the whereabouts of the Heavenly Bronze Man for generations, but to no avail. A few years ago, I heard a saying that some historians believed that when the Song Dynasty fell, the Heavenly Bronze Man was abducted by a Korean during a war and then hidden in his home. Unfortunately, I have asked around, but no one has admitted it..."
Old Master Nie sighed softly, his eyes full of disappointment, then he looked at Ye Feng expectantly and said, "If you have a chance in the future, you can pay attention to this matter. If you can bring the national treasure back to the country and make the Chinese traditional Chinese medicine secret technique no longer incomplete and complete, it will be a great merit."
"I will try my best to find the bronze man and bring him back home!"
Ye Feng nodded without hesitation.
The Tiansheng Bronze Man is the hard work of the Chinese traditional Chinese medicine community and is a well-deserved national treasure. If such a rare treasure is really lost in a foreign land, then as the flag bearer of contemporary Chinese medicine, he has the unshirkable responsibility to bring it back to the country.
"Okay, these are the only contents of the Nie family's Divine Fire Ten Needles. I am not sure whether it can help you."
After Master Nie sighed, he looked at Ye Feng with complicated eyes and murmured.
He now regretted why he had not taught Ye Feng the Divine Fire Ten Needles when he first met him. In this way, the Divine Fire Ten Needles might have played a greater role in Ye Feng's hands. But unfortunately, for Ye Feng now, his medical skills have reached a mysterious level, and having the Divine Fire Ten Needles is just icing on the cake.
But things in this world, once you regret something, you regret it. There is no possibility of changing it, and people can only sigh in vain.
"There is one last thing. Treat Qingwu well. This is my only granddaughter now. Don't let her suffer any injustice."
After a moment's silence, Mr. Nie held Ye Feng's hand and said solemnly.
He had just asked Nie Qingwu about her attitude towards Ye Feng. Nie Qingwu's determination was the only one he had ever seen, and she also said that as long as she could be with Ye Feng, she didn't care about status or anything like that.
It was Nie Qingwu's determination that made him determined to pass the Ten Divine Fire Needles to Ye Feng.
But as the old saying goes, deep love does not bring longevity. Nie Qingwu's love for Ye Feng is so deep that as a grandfather, he is really worried that his precious granddaughter will suffer in the future if she follows this guy.
