Chapter 108: The Grand Canon of Yin and Yang

  Xia Lin saw Ling Su and Song Jian knew each other, so she didn't disturb them anymore. She said: "Uncle, I'll go collect some firewood. From today on, this place will be our temporary home. My sister and I will take turns to take care of you. Ah, don't get emotional, I've always been someone who repays kindness."

  As she spoke, Xia Lin turned around and walked out with a swaying motion of her hips.

  Ling Su glanced at Xia Lin's back and said, "She is a martial arts prodigy. Why not let her join my Yin Yang Sect?"

  Song Jianshen said: What a rare talent, it's just that he ate my Tempering Bone Dan and inexplicably reached the inner strength level.

  "Never mind, she's still in school," Song Jian said, "what do you want to ask? And what is the Yin Yang Gate?"

  Ling Su didn't hide much, simply explaining: "It's just a school that has been passed down for generations. The Yin Yang School, the Mo School, the Bing School, the Taoist School, the Confucian School, and later the Buddhist School are collectively known as the Six Schools of Spring and Autumn. Hmm, never mind that, come take a look at what these few sentences mean?"

  Song Jian uttered an "oh" and didn't have a good impression of these illegal organizations. He leaned back on the bed, and Ling Su walked over, holding that book in both hands, placing it in front of Song Jian's eyes.

  This is a handwritten book, with two lines of tiny characters written in pen on the cover. The handwriting is elegant and yet reveals a hint of boldness, likely to be from the hand of a female martial artist.

  "When the weather is clear and bright, virtue is stored without ceasing, therefore it does not descend. When heaven is clear, the sun and moon are not clear, evil harms the dragon's orifice, the four gates are closed internally... Emerging from the four gates, the face and eyes suddenly redden, suddenly blacken, suddenly whiten, communicating with heaven, passing through man, entering earth, and becoming qi..."

  Song Jian read it through once, furrowed his brow, "The words and sentences in the 'Yin Yang Da Dian', I didn't know this book still had these."

  Ling Su's hands trembled, she stared at Song Jian and asked hastily: "You... how did you know these phrases are from the 'Yin Yang Grand Canon'?! No, you can't possibly know!"

  Song Jian raised his head, in his impression, Ling Su had always been very calm, even when the fish intestine sword was snatched by himself, she did not show excessive excitement, how come now is so flustered?

  "I had seen it before, but it was incomplete. I didn't think you had a copy too." Song Jian explained, "Is this book very valuable?"

  Ling Su shook his head, "Impossible, you can't have seen it. The 'Yin Yang Grand Canon' is extinct except for the sole copy in our Yin Yang Sect. Over a thousand years ago, a massive fire broke out at the Song Dynasty Imperial Academy, and since then, there hasn't been another copy of the 'Yin Yang Grand Canon' in this world. How could you have possibly seen it?"

  Song Jian felt a pang in his heart. In the Northern Song Dynasty, before the invention of movable type printing, it was very difficult to copy a book by hand, so many books in the imperial academy were rare and unique. No wonder that now, many medical books have been lost. It turned out that there had been a great fire in the palace. Song Jian had once served as the chief imperial physician, so he naturally had the power to read those bamboo books in the imperial library. However, now many of the books he had seen were already extinct, and it should be related to the great fire mentioned by Ling Su.

  In fact, the Song Dynasty was weak and bullied by foreign tribes, but it did a good job in preserving literature. Many ancient books that people see today were actually preserved through official revision and printing at that time.

  "What I saw was just a fragment, can I borrow this 'Yin Yang Da Dian' to take a look? I'm quite curious about the content of the opposite side," Song Jian looked at Ling Su.

  Ling Su's face changed, "No way, you... okay, this really won't do, where did you see the incomplete version of 'Yin Yang Da Dian'?"

  "It was on a piece of tortoise shell that an old man who collected trash had, later the old man sold the tortoise shell as medicine, you know, tortoise shells are quite expensive," Song Jian said seriously.

  Ling Su's emotions gradually calmed down, she no longer dwelled on the matter and asked: "What do these two sentences mean?"

  Song Jian thought for a moment and said, "Without context, it's also difficult for me to translate accurately. However, the 'Huangdi Neijing' was written about 300 years after the 'Yinyang Dadian', so I think based on the meaning of the 'Huangdi Neijing', it should be possible to interpret it smoothly."

  Ling Su nodded incessantly, "That's exactly what I meant. It seems that I didn't misjudge you after all. Your knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine is even more profound than those old doctors."

  Song Jian didn't care about Ling Su's flattery, and said: "The meaning of this sentence should be that when the heavenly orifice is clear and bright, the sun and moon are not visible, the dragon orifice is harmed, and the four passes are closed."

  "This I know," Ling Su interrupted Song Jian's words, "What is the Heavenly Gate? What are the Sun and Moon? What is the Dragon Gate? What are the Four Gates?"

  "Heavenly orifice, I think it's not good, I feel it should be a spiritual state, the sun and moon refer to the five internal organs, Long orifice, in ancient Chinese medicine, refers to the Xuanzhong acupoint." Song Jian explained with furrowed eyebrows.

  "What about the Xiangzhong acupoint?" Ling Su thought about Song Jian's words, and as soon as he mentioned it, a light bulb went off in her mind. The long-standing puzzle that had been stuck in her heart finally saw a glimmer of hope for a solution.

  "Ah, yes, it's referring to the Shenzhong acupoint. Here..." As he spoke, Song Jian pointed to the center of Ling Su's chest, where the Shenzhong acupoint is located between a person's two breasts.

  Ling Su glared at Song Jian, "I know!"

  Song Jian reluctantly withdrew his finger, in fact he didn't have any thoughts about Ling Su now, let alone think about it, even thinking about it made him feel uncomfortable, after all, Ling Su at this time was not very beautiful.

  "What is the Four Gates again? And what does this sentence mean?" Ling Su asked hastily, she finally found a little clue, and this little clue might make her become the number one person in the Yin Yang School soon!

  "Four gates! Cough, this is a long story. Nowadays, in traditional Chinese medicine, the four gates generally refer to the two elbows and two knees, but...” Song Jian couldn't help but feel a little proud, as a traditional Chinese doctor, someone was willing to listen to his unique views, it was indeed quite satisfying. As for the understanding of the four gates, Song Jian had read over a hundred ancient books during his time as an imperial physician in the Song Dynasty, and finally discovered that the so-called four gates did not refer to the two elbows and two knees, but rather something else.

  "Tell me quickly, and I'll reward you," Ling Su now trusted Song Jian very much. She knew that the "four passes" here were not the elbows and knees referred to in traditional Chinese medicine, but had another meaning. Only she had never been able to figure out what specific place it was referring to.

  "Four passes, when I took the exam, should refer to Baihui acupoint on the head, Tanzhong acupoint on the chest, Qihai and Dantian, as well as a person's private part**. " Song Jiandao said, "You see, the meaning of this sentence is that the color of the face and eyes changes, one moment it turns red, one moment it turns black, one moment it turns white, passing through Tiankong, going through Renhai, arriving at Dicang, and finally gathering in Dantian to become Qi. You should know about the three parts of heaven, earth, and human in traditional Chinese medicine, right? It's precisely referring to Baihui acupoint, Tanzhong acupoint, and **acupoint. These four passes plus Dantian form the four passes. As for the changes in red and black, I don't know what it means!"

  As soon as Song Jian's words fell, Ling Su quickly put away the book. Although she tried to remain calm, her trembling lips betrayed her, and it was clear that she was extremely excited at this moment.

  "Thank you! Song Jian," Ling Su gasped a few times, making an effort to calm down, saying "sincerely."

  Song Jian shrugged, "Nothing, but can you show me the 'Yin Yang Da Dian' now? Also, although I translated these two sentences, what's their purpose? What is the main content of the 'Yin Yang Da Dian' about?"

  Ling Su shook her head, "This really can't be shown to you, besides, I owe you one, thanks."

  "This is what they call compensation?" Song Jian smiled slightly.

  "After some thought, Ling Su said: 'How about this, do you want revenge?'"

  "Revenge?" Song Jian looked at Ling Su, unsure where she was coming from with these words.

  "You don't think Lin Bao is the one who ultimately killed your parents, do you? Think about it, when you were studying in the US, who tempted you to get addicted and tried to extract information from you, and who instructed Lin Bao to kill them after failing to coerce your parents?" Ling Su said with his usual coldness.

  Song Jian hummed and said, "I'll handle these myself. I don't need your help."

  "What do you want?" Ling Su asked, "You said, as long as it's not too excessive, our Yin Yang Gate will agree to your request."

  "Hmm," Song Jian thought for a moment and said: "Give me 10 billion then."

  Ling Su turned around and left, "What our Yin Yang Sect despises the most is copper smell. The favor will be returned naturally in the future, let's go, thank you for your interpretation."

  "Come on, no sincerity," Song Jian muttered.

  Ling Su walked to the door, stopped and turned around: "Oh, I remember you have a traditional Chinese medicine factory. This year is the year of Renzi, with Taiyang in charge of heaven and Taiyin in charge of spring, but Jin Yun is not prosperous, Mu comes to insult Jin, Taiyang is fire, Taiyin is wet earth, wet heat steams together, it must harm the plague. You can prepare some medicinal materials for treating plagues in advance, hoard them, after the third month when spring begins, they will definitely sell at a good price."

  Song Jian was stunned, he also knew some superficial knowledge of the heaven and earth yin yang five elements six qi, but he didn't dare to speak as confidently as Ling Su.

  "Also, your eyebrow tips are red, which means you have a prosperous financial fortune recently. However, the area between your eyebrows is dark and the philtrum is sunken, indicating that there's a sign of financial loss. So, be frugal with your spending to avoid running out of money," Ling Su said before turning around and leaving.

  Song Jian rubbed his own temple, "Furrowed brow? Got one?"

  At this time, Xu Si and Xia Lin walked in.

  "Uncle, I'm all set now, the nursing home is my home." Xia Lin smiled brightly.

  Song Jian shook his head and said, "No need, we'll be discharged tomorrow. I can walk now and don't need special care. Besides, shouldn't you be starting school too?"

  Xu Si knew that Song Jian's body recovered quickly, she nodded and said: "Going home is also good, the cook here comes and goes, just making those few dishes, it's really hard to eat."

  "The dishes all have Chinese medicine powder added, of course they're hard to eat," Song Jian smiled and said.

  Xia Lin looked at Xu Si with a puzzled expression, then glanced at Song Jian and muttered to herself: "Huh? Why does it feel a bit off? Ah, uncle, you tell me, in the many days I wasn't here, were you and my sister living together in this hospital room?! You guys lived together, right?!"
