Chapter 75: The Mysterious Acupuncture (4)
"How could Mayor Huang choose to believe him this time?"
"This must be because he didn't know medicine, so he was cheated by this man with the surname Zhou."
"Just wait and see, after a while, let this surname Zhou's one trick kill Old Song, he will be relieved in his heart, but at that time, he can't blame us anymore, we have fulfilled our duty, reminding him not to be deceived, it's just that he didn't listen."
"Hey, although this Zhou guy is a bit of a joke, he's solved one difficult problem for us after all."
…………
Although they didn't dare to openly refute Huang Xingran, several doctors led by Wang Shiliang were all secretly amazed. The objectivity of things is undeniable - in this vast world, it's impossible to find two completely identical leaves. Zhou Mingluo actually claimed that there was a formation method that could have a life-extending effect on most people who were critically ill. Different people, different causes of death, if this were true, it would be simply absurd.
Although suspicious, or gloating, the mood of Wang Shiliang and others has eased a lot. After all, since Zhou Minglou took the lead, even if Song Lao really died, they would have an excuse to shirk responsibility and could push Song Lao's death onto Zhou Minglou.
They would be overjoyed if one of them could really kill Song Lao with a single needle, so that they could shirk off the responsibility completely, and this possibility seems extremely high.
Under the gaze of a group of people, Zhou Ming Luo finally pushed open the emergency room door and walked in quickly.
The emergency room was very large, and at this time, an old man who was almost devoid of any signs of life was lying on the central operating table. The old man was about eighty or ninety years old, with a withered face and sunken cheeks, and even his chest rose and fell intermittently. If no one checked, it would be easy to mistake him for a corpse.
The situation is very serious, after Zhou Ming fell onto the operating table, he immediately injected a 【Flowing Water Symbol】 into his body.
In the past week, except for using one Flowing Water Symbol on Chen Hong symbolically, all his other symbols have been accumulated, and he is now quite wealthy. In the Eight Trigrams diagram on his chest, there are still six Seeking Text Symbols and six Vajra Symbols available, and even five Flowing Water Symbols remain.
Even if one is used now, there are still four more Flowing Water Symbols left.
At the moment when the talisman took effect, all objects within a 20-meter radius around Zhou Ming suddenly appeared in his mind in the form of meridian patterns.
As for the other meridians, he didn't care at all, and instead focused all his attention on Old Song. However, this one sensation gave him a fright, Old Song's condition was indeed terrifying - more than 60% of all the meridians in his body were severed, not a single one was intact.
Among them, the liver and brain meridians are the most serious, with 99% of both being broken, leaving only a thin thread of meridian barely connecting.
This is the first time Zhou Ming Luo has seen such a severe patient.
But only a moment later, he came to his senses and saw that the situation was serious. However, it wasn't necessarily all due to illness, but rather more likely related to his age. As people get older, their physical functions are increasingly affected, eventually leading step by step towards natural death.
Song Lao's entire body meridian is broken by more than 60% to 70%, which can basically indicate that the opponent's various physical functions are almost at an end, this is the natural characteristic of birth, aging, illness and death.
It was only the hepatic and cerebral collaterals that were affected by his liver cirrhosis and hepatic encephalopathy.
Indeed, a Flowing Water Seal can repair about one-tenth of the broken meridians, but if it's for someone whose meridian body is naturally aging like this, Zhou Ming Luo would have to pay an extremely high price to make them regain their vitality and become as healthy as young people.
To say nothing of the rest, a person's palm has 15 meridians. If more than 70% of them are broken in an elderly person, and he wants to repair one hand to make it like that of a young adult, he needs 105 "Flowing Water Symbols". This number is not too much or too little, which is the accumulation of three or four months.
If he really wants to make an elderly person with late-stage physical function regain vitality, and try to prolong the other's life, making them live longer, then I'm afraid that even if there was only one such person, he would need to spend years, or even longer, by their side, repairing and nourishing them.
This situation Zhou Ming Luo is also unable to bear, unless it's him himself, or his parents and the like of closest relatives, otherwise other people can basically be ignored directly.
"It seems that even the Flowing Water Symbol has its limits. Although it can be said to cure all diseases, when it comes to natural aging and death, there's nothing it can do."
With a deep sigh, Zhou Ming suddenly picked up the acupuncture needles that had been sent over earlier and pretended to insert them into Song Lao's body on the operating table. These few needles didn't actually pierce Song Lao's skin, he was just going through the motions. Although there were no other people in the emergency room at the moment, modern society has too many ways of prying into private matters, what if this emergency room had a hidden camera installed somewhere?
Even if the possibility is small, even pitifully low, he still has to make a show of it just in case.
It was also with these few needles that the【Flowing Water Symbol】in Zhou Ming's body smoothly flowed into Song Lao's body, and then split into two, rushing towards the two meridians in Song Lao's body. One was the brain meridian representing flesh and nerve fibers, and the other was the liver meridian representing flesh and nerve fibers.
There are only three major types of human meridians: blood, flesh, and bone. Nerve fibers and other items are all buried in the flesh meridian. Song Lao's situation is critical with his liver and brain, which has nothing to do with blood or bone problems.
His two meridian lines were over 90% fractured, leaving only a thin thread barely holding on, but as Zhou Ming's Flowing Water Seal surged in, the two meridian lines suddenly burst forth with a layer of white light, beginning to repair and nourish.
For a brief moment, the two places were basically about to break through the pulse, and then they regained some vitality. This vitality is not great, and only about half of the pulse connection is maintained.
Almost at the same time, Song Lao, who was still in a coma, had an electrocardiogram that was originally trending towards silence and a precarious breathing situation that quickly became stable.
This is also inevitable, originally his brain and liver only had less than one percent of vitality left, once this less than one percent of vitality disappeared it would be a complete death, but now both have suddenly recovered to more than five percent, naturally giving the entire body a chance to barely survive.
After doing all this, Zhou Ming Luo also visibly let out a breath of relief. Although it was just a talisman and couldn't make the old man on the bed recover too much, at least he could be certain that letting him drag on for two or three more days would absolutely be no problem.
But the next moment, he picked up the acupuncture needle again and pretended to be in a daze, stabbing it randomly on the other person's head, without any technique at all.
Since he wanted to make an appearance just in case, he naturally had to do it thoroughly.
