Expert Guo 37

  In the following days, Guo Yao's life returned to normal. He went to Shilihe Park every morning to practice martial arts. However, he had a new shadow by his side.

  It wasn't until that night that Guo Yi discovered the little beggar had followed him, squatting at the bottom of the cultural market building. Guo Yi refused to give him money but didn't mind buying him food. After some mental struggle, Guo Yi thought about letting the little beggar go upstairs with him, but the little beggar just shook his head. Guo Yi gave up, he really couldn't accept living with a dirty beggar.

  Every early morning, Guo Yi goes to the park, and Xiao Qi Gai also follows him. Guo Yi ignores him and focuses on practicing with his master, while Xiao Qi Gai watches from the side. Tie Rong and Yi Xiao Feng are not paying attention either, some kung fu can't be learned just by watching.

  Guo Ye has now practiced from sinking palm to crashing palm.

  This palm technique is also very simple - stand in front of a large tree with your right foot forward and left foot backward, with the heel of your right palm against the tree. In coordination with breathing methods, suddenly exert force from the back foot to push the ground, transmit power through the waist to the arm and palm, and use force to strike the tree trunk. The inch palm exerts force, and the master said that this is a dark energy that hurts inwardly when hitting outwardly. Once practiced, its power is boundless!

  From the first day he started practicing, he had been putting silver energy into his left arm. There were two reasons why he only used it on one arm: firstly, at that time, he was still unclear whether the circulation of this silver energy in the body would consume it or not; if it did, then before finding a way to make this silver energy take root and sprout, he absolutely wouldn't use it again.

  Secondly, will the input of this silver energy eliminate not only the pain and fatigue produced by repeated practice but also the positive effects such as muscle growth brought about by exercise, making one's own practice useless?

  After the first experiment, the results were very encouraging. The silver energy circulating in his body did not decrease, and the left and right arms that input energy grew in strength synchronously. In fact, the growth of the left arm's strength was even faster than the right arm's. This means that the silver energy only drives out negative factors without affecting the development of positive factors, and it even has a promoting effect on positive factors.

  With this trial, his practice speed soared because others needed rest. Although rest helped alleviate fatigue and recover physical strength, it also offset some of the training effects to a certain extent. Guo Yi didn't need rest at all. His continuous training method not only gave his muscles the maximum workout but also added silver energy to his muscles and bones, making his practice speed several times faster than others.

  Guo Ye's master, Tie Lun, was extremely satisfied with his second apprentice.

  He didn't have a good impression of "Lao Er" to begin with. Firstly, Guo Yao didn't have the same level of martial arts foundation as Yi Xiao Feng, and starting from scratch now would put him at a disadvantage compared to Tong Zi Gong. Secondly, Guo Yao's personality was frivolous and flighty, not like someone who would be willing to put in hard work, whereas this Kaibei Shou was something that had been achieved through real blood and sweat!

  So when Guo Yihan was sweating profusely and his hands and feet were swollen, he was already very surprised. After this apprentice practiced for a few days, he unknowingly triggered some kind of innate talent, and when he continued to practice, he was surprisingly calm and composed, not even breaking a sweat. The strong and powerful "Lao Er" would need to rest after practicing for half an hour, but this guy wouldn't stop, occasionally flashing a sly smile on his face??????

  After finishing the exercise, Tie Lun smiled and circled around Guo Yao three times, then poked his head and pressed his pulse, but still couldn't figure out anything, so he gave up. He sighed and turned to leave, went home and asked his daughter-in-law to cook two more dishes, heated a pot of old wine to celebrate that he had unexpectedly gained a good apprentice who was hard to understand but actually had excellent roots. When he got drunk, he even sang a verse of "Locking the Five Dragons":

  "At the sound of the horn, the tent was tied outside, and the heroes couldn't help but burst out laughing! I rode alone to the Tang camp, killing only the young men who cried out in sorrow. The wilderness was filled with blood, forming a sea, and the corpses piled up like mountains, with no place to bury them."

  That wretched and unbearable voice occasionally even trills, making the daughter-in-law's skin crawl with goosebumps.

  After practicing his kung fu, Guo Yao went to the office to read books. If someone came to repair something, he would simply register it and tell them to come back in three days. After the person left, he would casually fix the thing and then continue reading. He also bought a set of stainless steel acupuncture needles.

  Actually, he originally wanted to buy a set of golden needles because the chemical properties of gold are relatively stable and won't rust, but they were too expensive. Afraid that after two years Guo Yi would have nothing left, he didn't dare buy them. First, he bought a set of stainless steel needles to make do with, and when he got tired of reading, he would prick himself with a few needles. If he made a mistake, it was no big deal; the white energy would pass through him, and he would immediately recover!

  In the afternoon, he took a taxi to Qixian Town, which is closest to Yangcheng. It's a small town where most people are engaged in agriculture and occasionally do some business. On the main road of Qixian Town, there is a market that attracts people from surrounding villages on the 4th and 9th days of each month, while on ordinary days it becomes a small night market.

  Kuo Yee took out a simple folding table, two stools and a red banner from the old fellow's house, set up the table in a corner of the market, pulled up the banner, which read: "Supporting 'Three Down to the Countryside', Peking University Second Hospital Expert Free Clinic". Kuo Yee wore a white coat, a mask, and a pair of glasses with a slightly tea-colored tint, sat behind the table with an air of dignity!

  On the table was a dark thermos cup, a pulse-taking cushion, a stack of prescription papers, and a bottle of blue ink with a pen dipped in it. In his pocket, there was even a certificate - he had spent less than 200 yuan to get it made! On the upper right corner of the table was a sign that read: Expert Free Clinic.

  If in the city, except for the old man who doesn't carry money on him, no one would go to a place with a "free clinic" sign to see a doctor, everyone knows that's just "fishing"! But it's different here, the local customs are simple and honest, although you can't say that people don't pick up things they find on the road or close their doors at night, but there are many fewer swindlers. So this little table of his will occasionally have customers.

  At this time, Guo Yi was not smiling, his eyes behind the glasses were serious, he would carefully observe the other's complexion, listen to the other's speech tone, then take the pulse, and in his heart, silently match it with a certain disease. Finally, he would ask the other about their symptoms again, if they matched what he thought in his mind, he would record them in his notes. Looking, smelling, asking, and feeling the pulse, not a single detail was missed!

  For some serious illnesses, he would suggest that the other party go to a large hospital for treatment; For some muscle and bone dislocations, muscle strains and other diseases, he would perform acupuncture on the spot, effective continued, ineffective then transmitted some white energy; As for some external injuries, he used the old method, first sticking a non-branded plaster, and then curing it with ease.

  So, all the diseases treated by Dr. Guo were cured immediately, and in a short period of time, Dr. Guo became famous in this area. Every old man and woman from nearby villages would come to see him when they felt unwell, and sometimes young mothers would bring their accidentally injured children to see the doctor. Although Dr. Guo was serious, he had a very good heart and never refused anyone who came to him. Sometimes, because some patients came late or there were many people in line, so that it was not early by the time they saw him, Dr. Guo would still be very patient and meticulous in his diagnosis and treatment, without being impatient or annoyed. Therefore, often, when some people had already finished dinner, Dr. Guo would still be taking pulses for patients under the night sky, with a small rechargeable lamp and a simple desk and chair set, which became a unique scene on this street!

  In his spare time, he would hold a thread-bound old book and read it. On the cover of the book, there were two seal characters - Mai Jing.

  This is a customer who brought it in for repair. He found that this book was rarely seen, and the content on it had many differences with the "Mai Jing" sold in the market now. So, he extended the repair time by more than ten days, and read it himself first.

  After the most bitter study, he found that he had made great progress in pulse diagnosis. After taking the pulse, he could describe the other's symptoms with great accuracy. This was an unexpected gain from repairing antiques.

  Sometimes when it rained or was windy, Mr. Guo would also go to the gate of a resident's house to take shelter, but he would never enter the house, waiting quietly for the rain to stop before returning to the street.

  Some simple villagers felt uneasy and wanted to show their gratitude, but Master Guo refused to accept anything, whether it was an invitation to dinner or a gift of tobacco and wine, all were politely declined.

  Gradually, although no one has ever seen Dr. Guo's appearance, in the minds of these old folks, Dr. Guo has become a serious and respected expert who is not given to idle chatter. Some even think that this is a treasure bestowed upon Qixian Town by heaven! Some young women have also started looking for Dr. Guo!

  After finishing his work, Guo Yi packed up his belongings in the darkness and left them at a fellow villager's home, declining their offer to stay overnight once again. He returned to the city alone. After hastily eating dinner, he took out the notes from that day and carefully pondered over them until late into the night. The next morning, he went to the Shilihe Community Park again, with Chicken Leg following closely behind him.

  In a coffee shop across from the cultural market, a very tall and elegant woman sat by the window leisurely sipping her coffee. She wore a white long dress with a low-cut neckline, her full breasts almost half-exposed, causing every passing man to involuntarily glance over at her twice. The hem of her skirt was high, and sitting beside her could see her entire long, plump legs.

  Across from her, a young man wearing casual attire, short hair, no mustache, neat and tidy. The man's expression was leisurely, using the spoon in his hand to slowly stir the coffee, and said softly to the woman:

  "Seventh Master, I've been keeping an eye on this guy named Guo Yao for over ten days now, and I haven't found any connection between him and Ninth Master —"

  A fierce glint flashed in the woman's eyes, and the young man's body trembled instantly. The coffee in his hand splashed out.
