Chapter 286 - The Treasure Book of Acupuncture
Chapter 286 The Treasure Book of Acupuncture
Standing in front of the door, the round-faced old man pointed to the three books on the table. “Go ahead.”
Fang Qiu nodded and entered.
Fang Qiu went straight to the table and found these books were completely different from each other.
The first one was a famous Chinese medical record note, which specifically recorded a lot of difficult diseases and a variety of pathology.
The second one was about acupuncture.
The third one was about bonesetting.
Knowing the contents of the three treasure books, Fang Qiu didn’t think too much and directly started to choose.
He had seen a lot of medical records when he was in Qimen Town. Now he was not able to fully understand an ordinary medical record yet. Making a blind choice would not do any good for his study of traditional Chinese Medicine.
Fang Qiu shook his head and smiled.
He was confident that he was definitely the second kind, the kind that got the perfect score.
Then he caught up with the old man.
After saying good-bye to the round-faced old man, Fang Qiu took a taxi and went back to school.
When Fang Qiu returned to school, it was half past 12 at noon.
Students had already finished their lunch.
There were people all over the school.
They gathered together to review the books.
With the certificate and the treasure book, he went straight back to his dorm room.
Zhu Benzheng and the other two weren’t in the dorm. They might have gone to the library to review.
Because of the final exam, the library was full almost every day, so the three of them thought about the library every time. They did everything in a rush, including having a meal, because they needed to get a place in the library. After all, a variety of books and materials could be found in it, which helped them review easily.
“Crack!” Fang Qiu closed the door of the room.
He then sat down at his desk immediately.
He opened the treasure book and began to carefully touch it.
After a while, Fang Qiu got a piece of old yellow paper.
Just like the one he got before, it was completely blank. There was nothing there.
Touching the paper, Fang Qiu felt something familiar at once.
He closed his eyes with his fingers moving over the pages with Absolute Touch.
All the letters started to emerge in his mind like arrows darting into his mind from afar.
“The methods of acupuncture vary in all kinds of ways, taking the essence of a hundred schools of thought and collecting the techniques of thousands of schools…”
Fang Qiu shivered while reading the first two lines.
These two sentences had stated clearly that what was recorded in the book was not just some ordinary acupuncture, but a variety of acupuncture’s secret techniques.
It contained not just a single method of acupuncture, but a synthesis of many methods.
This was a surprise for Fang Qiu.
When he almost finished reading, it was a complete shock to Fang Qiu.
“This method’s driving force is a thought, its principle is an idea.”
“Use the mind like a needle, to enforce…”
When he read the last introduction, everything Fang Qiu knew about acupuncture was changed as if he had seen a whole new world.
The acupuncture methods recorded in this page were even stronger than the gold or silver needles.
Moreover, to a certain extent, you didn’t even need a needle.
How could Fang Qiu not be amazed?
That was not all the things written on the page.
He kept reading and found that it also recorded the mind training method of the “Theory of Bonesetting”.
“Wow, how could this happen?”
He was even more shocked to see this method.
“Why are they all on this page?”
“Who did this?”
Fang Qiu started thinking.
He was really curious about who had put this page in the book, and why did every blank page in treasure books contain the method of mental training?
Apparently, this was hidden by someone on purpose.
But who? And why would he do that?
And these secret methods he was hiding, they were impossible to detect without an Absolute Touch.
Anyone who could do this must have a very powerful mental power. Otherwise, it was impossible to put these secret methods on a blank page.
What could be sure of was that the man did this on purpose in order to pass these methods to someone who could see them.
Was he looking for someone with that kind of power? Or…?
Fang Qiu didn’t understand, either way, so he didn’t think much of it.
Just as before, he quickly memorized the entire page in his mind, and then put the blank page away for safekeeping.
It was not the same as the “Canon of Poison”.
He wouldn’t dare to destroy it.
After all, this was a precious legacy of the forefathers. It should be carried on to the next generation. This page couldn’t be read by ordinary people, not even by those with evil intentions, so Fang Qiu was not worried about the safety of these secret methods.
“Since the mind training is recorded in every secret method, does it mean that the mind is a very powerful and indispensable ability?”
Fang Qiu thought to himself.
He had been practicing since he got the method from bonesetting, but so far his mental power didn’t seem to be that strong.
“The secret methods of Chinese medicine, the force of the mind, the needle of the mind!”
Fang Qiu was lost in thought.
He found that the force of the mind seemed to be tied to traditional Chinese medicine. He also knew that, besides Chinese medicine, the force of the mind had many other functions, such as telekinesis.
However, since it was tied to traditional Chinese medicine, it meant the mental power plated an important role in traditional Chinese medicine.
“In that case, I will continue to break through this power, to see exactly how powerful it is!” Fang Qiu made up his mind.
As far as he was concerned, since it was closely connected with traditional Chinese medicine, with the enhancement of the mental power, perhaps he could find some mysterious ways to cure the old master in advance.
Besides, Fang Qiu needed to learn acupuncture anyway.
With this book, Fang Qiu didn’t need to spend much time on general acupuncture, but the prerequisite for practicing this acupuncture method was the mental power.
“Focus on my mind.” He thought.
Immediately, he put away the page and began to watch the copper coins, training his mind.
However, after this period of training, his psychokinesis had improved a lot. He could control ten coins.
“And ten more copper coins.”
When he wanted to add more copper coins, Fang Qiu frowned.
He remembered that he only bought ten copper coins, so he didn’t have one extra coin, let alone ten.
“Well, then I have to use normal coins.”
He opened the drawer of his desk and took out twenty coins of one yuan, which he had saved for the bus when he got some change. Now they came in handy.
After taking out the coins, he looked around for a while before he found a nail.
He immediately divided the twenty coins into four piles and put them on the desk. He then held the nails in his hands and used his internal force to shoot four times in a row. Suddenly, the force pierced a hole in each coin.
Four stacks of coins were pierced, and the holes were in the same place.
“That’s a waste of money…”
When it was done, he exclaimed and hung up twenty coins with a red thread and began to use his mind to control them.
