Chapter 73: A Man's Kneeling is a Teacher's Grace!
"Grandfather, Qin Luo hasn't even written a prescription yet." Wang Yangxin said. Although he now appreciates Qin Luo's medical skills very much, this does not mean that he wants his own grandfather to lose.
Wang Xiuren's defeat would be a blow to the entire Wang family, proving that they had been defeated by Qin Luo.
"He has already opened the prescription." Wang Xiushen shook his head and sighed. "Nourishing the heart, you should learn more from Qin Luo. In terms of adaptability in traditional Chinese medicine, he is much stronger than me."
"The Way of Change in Traditional Chinese Medicine?"
"Yes. We can't always be stuck in the old ways and not come out. Traditional Chinese medicine also needs to adapt. Otherwise, we will fall behind society and be eliminated by it." Wang Xiushen said with a heavy face.
"Where is the place where Qin Luo changed?" Wang Yangxin asked. He still didn't quite understand what Grandpa meant by these words.
"Think about it, why did he prescribe such strong medicine for the first patient?" Wang Xiu Shen asked back.
Wang thought for a moment and said: "Probably want to quickly stabilize the patient's condition. The medicine is strong, can shorten the patient's treatment process."
"Yes. Illness comes like a mountain collapse, and illness goes like pulling out silk threads. The first patient is in his prime of life, at the stage where he should be taking on social responsibilities and supporting his family. Every day there are so many things to do, how can he afford to spend such a long time waiting for the slow onset of our traditional Chinese medicine's efficacy?"
"If it can't be cured in three days, the patient may have already lost trust in traditional Chinese medicine and turned to Western medicine for a quicker fix. But by the time the effects of the Chinese medicine kick in, the patient has already given up on traditional treatment. Whose fault is it? Can we say it's the patient's mistake?"
Wang Yangxin suddenly realized and said, "It turns out that he had already considered the patient's age and occupational nature when writing the prescription. With his prescription, the patient's condition can be cured with three doses of medicine."
"Yes." Wang Xiu Shen nodded. "And children? As parents of children, what are they most worried about?"
"Illness. What's even more frightening is that the medication after falling ill will have an impact on the child's physical and intellectual development." Wang Yangxin was not a foolish person, he immediately understood the reason why Qin Luo did not open his prescription this time.
"Yes. A child's body is the most fragile and also the one that worries parents the most. Medicine has three parts poison, no matter what medicine it is, it will have some impact on a child's body. And Qin Luo doesn't even prescribe medication, he only teaches ways to nourish and care for the body. The child's parents are naturally very satisfied with this and easily develop trust in him."
"In our traditional Chinese medicine, we emphasize the importance of gentle, heavy, slow and urgent. However, in the new situation of social development, those who truly understand these words are indeed few and far between."
Wang Xiuren glanced at Qin Luo, who was still talking to the child's parents in a low voice, and said: "Qin Luo's medical skills are excellent, more importantly, he has always been thinking about how to closely connect traditional Chinese medicine with this society. Don't let the development of high technology throw ancient traditional Chinese medicine far away."
Then, Wang Xiuzhen said with a serious tone: "From now on, the future of traditional Chinese medicine rests on his shoulders."
"Grandpa-----" Wang Yangxin's face was shocked. Grandpa had never praised anyone like this before.
He knew that his grandfather had also wanted to unite the famous Chinese medicine practitioners of various factions in Yanjing, and work together to promote the development of traditional Chinese medicine.
However, it still failed. It's not that they didn't want to try their best, but there are serious disconnects between traditional Chinese medicine and this society.
How many people are willing to spend half an hour or an hour brewing a prescription?
They would rather choose Western medicine that can cure diseases by just drinking a mouthful of water. Because it is quick and convenient.
But now Grandpa solemnly told himself: The future of traditional Chinese medicine rests on his shoulders.
What an honor it is for someone! At this moment, Wang Yangxin's heart was sour and astringent. The words he had been waiting for so many years were finally spoken by his grandfather. However, the recipient was someone else.
"Take care of yourself. If there's a need, you should help him." Wang reminded again with a wave of his hand.
"Yes. Grandfather. I understand. As TCM develops, everyone who has benefited from it should take responsibility." Wang Yangxin said.
"Alright." Wang Xiushen stood up and patted his grandson's shoulder twice with a heavy hand.
Wang Yangxin's spirit was shaken, and in all these years, he had never received such praise from his grandfather.
He patted his shoulder so hard, as if he wanted to pat his strength into his own body.
"Old Wang, have you really decided to admit defeat?" Lao Zhuo asked with a look of surprise on his face.
"Old Zhuo, it's not that I wanted to admit defeat. It's just that this time I really lost. And what's more, I lost convincingly." Wang Xiu Shen said with a smile. He didn't seem angry about his loss, but instead looked relieved.
"Yes, this round is yours. You lost, but our Chinese medicine saved you." Guo Xu Sheng said with a smile as he looked at Qin Luo.
"One win and one loss, are we going to continue comparing afterwards?" Gu Bai Xian asked.
"Old Gu, you were wrong. Before the second match, I also thought that the first match should have been a draw. After all, Bang Luo's medicine was too strong, and the prescription seemed a bit hasty. But after two matches, I finally understood that it was our thinking that had entered the wrong area. His 'urgent' use was good! What is this? Right, right diagnosis and medication. It's not just about targeting the patient's internal symptoms, but also about targeting the patient's external conditions."
"There wasn't a single draw, I lost both games." Wang Xiuren explained. "However, I know why you three old guys came to find me. If I don't let you see the long-lost Taiyi Divine Needle, I'm afraid you won't even be able to eat dinner. Although I clearly know that I might lose the third game as well, this old face of mine has already been thrown out. Later on, you must take a good look."
"Thanks, Old Wang."
"It wasn't in vain that we met."
"Thank you."
Three people heard that Old Wang knew he was going to lose in the needle technique competition against Qin Luo, and they were all deeply grateful.
Famous people are very fond of their feathers. It's extremely rare for someone like Wang Xiu Shen to use his own reputation as a bargaining chip to gain an audience with a unique skill.
"Don't thank me. I just ask you to promise me one thing," Wang Xiuren said.
"What's up?" asked Old Zhuo.
"In the future, when Qin Luo needs your help, you should stand up and lend him a hand."
"Don't worry. I love this kid now. If he didn't have a wife, I'd even want to bring him back as my son-in-law." Old Zuo with the round face spoke up first.
"It's a pity I don't have a granddaughter." Guo Xusheng smiled and nodded.
"No problem." Gu Bai Xian also agreed. "If he is willing to learn, I will pass on my bone-setting skills to him too."
"That's great!" Wang Xiu said excitedly. "Old buddies, I'm giving you a bow."
Saying that, Wang Xiuzhen made a 90-degree bow to the three old friends in front of him.
The three of them did not dodge and also stood solemnly facing Wang Xiu's ninety-degree bow.
Qin Luo happened to turn around and saw this scene, his heart was like being hit hard by something heavy.
It's so painful it makes you want to cry!
Wang Xiuzhen straightened up and beckoned to Qin Luo, saying: "Qin Luo, come here."
Qin Luo walked over and said respectfully: "Old Wang."
Although he didn't hear what a few people were talking about just now, he could guess what had happened from their movements.
"I lost the first two rounds. Let's start competing in the third round." Wang Xiushen said.
"Wang Lao, I'm a bit tired today. Let's postpone the third match until later." Qin Luo said.
He can't trample a generation of needlework masters just for his own reputation.
He has a kind heart and wants to repay him in full. However, he himself cannot accept such a heavy gift.
"It doesn't matter. Just watch." Wang Xiu Shen said.
Not giving Qin Luo another chance to refuse, he turned around and said to Wang Yangxin: "Prepare the silver needle."
"Grandfather, the silver needle is ready." Wang Yangxin knew what his grandfather was going to do and said excitedly.
It seems like what Grandpa did ignited his inner passion, making it hard for him to calm down for a long time.
Qin Luo didn't know how to use it, but he had heard that the highest level of the Five Dragons Needle Technique required a specially made silver needle, with the longest one exceeding 14 inches.
Wang Xiuren opened the needle box and took out the longest big needle inside.
A large needle, four inches long, with a fine tip and a smooth, round body. It shone with a captivating silver light in the palm of Wang Xiu's hand.
"The Five Dragons Acupuncture Method involves multiple needles in the chest and waist areas. However, after years of exploration and practice, I found another acupoint that is more suitable for this method." Wang Xiushen disinfected the long needle in his hand and asked Wang Yangxin, "Are you brave enough to try the needle?"
"What's wrong with that?" Wang replied cheerfully.
"Alright, take off your top." Wang Xiuren said.
Wang Yangxin followed his words and untied his outer jacket, taking off his upper body clothes, standing naked in front of Wang Xiuxin.
"Take a closer look." Wang Xiuren said to Qin Luo. As he spoke, his hand holding the long needle suddenly stabbed down, targeting an unknown acupoint above Wang Yangxin's navel.
"This is a new acupoint. I name it Fengyan point. This needling method, I also name it Wulong Tanfeng." Wang Xiushen said. According to international convention, if a doctor discovers a new acupoint on the human body, he can name it after himself or give it a good name.
Qin Luo's eyes stared unblinkingly at Wang Xiu's right hand, watching as his aged yet extremely steady hands pinched the fine needle and slowly manipulated it. Before long, the four-inch-long silver needle had already gone in more than halfway.
"Did you see clearly?" Wang Xiushen asked, lifting his head. His face was bright red, obviously this stabbing method was very laborious.
"I understand seventy percent," Qin Luo said.
"Once more. You have to look carefully." Wang Xiuren's right hand lightly lifted, and the silver needle silently and quietly pulled out from Wang Yangxin's body.
Wang Yangxin's face was expressionless, as if he hadn't felt a single bit of pain on his body.
"Alright." Qin Luo replied.
After taking a deep breath, Wang Xiuren once again inserted the needle. Still at the same speed as before, with the same force, and in the same position.
After inserting the needle halfway, Wang Xiushen raised his head again and looked at Qin Luo, asking: "Do you understand now?"
"I understand." Qin Luo nodded and said.
"Great. Great." Wang Xiuren's forehead was covered in sweat, and he said with a delighted face.
This time, his hand trembled slightly as he pulled out the needle.
It turned out that this was not a competition of needlework at all, but Wang Xiuren teaching his most proud Five Dragons and Phoenix technique to Qin Luo.
Qin Luo knelt down on both knees and said respectfully: "Thank you, Master, for teaching me the art."
A boy kneels down for his teacher's kindness! It should be so!
(ps: Because of the transfer, there are many things to communicate. This book didn't plan to find readers for money, so it can only find websites for money. For Lao Liu's rice bowl and life, Lao Liu ran to Beijing to discuss some cooperation matters. Is this an incomprehensible thing?)
If you care about Lao Liu, please stop the meaningless quarrel. It will only harm Lao Liu. We can be so good on the Red Ticket Chart, don't let some things in the book review section become a laughing stock.
In other people's eyes, we are a gang. You are Old Liu's friends, not separate individuals.
