Dr. Cui Men took a step forward, crossed his hands and said, "I'm going to do an examination here. I studied under Cui of Yanling. I know a little about acupuncture and moxibustion, but I have never heard of stone acupuncture. I would like to see the eminent monk perform the art of stone needles."
Xinxing, a monk from Silla, said with a smile: "Suwen·Bingnenglun" says, "Those who have diseased neck carbuncles can either be treated with stones or acupuncture." But the great sage said that he didn't know. Today, I would like to take a look at the treatment of Qihuang in those days. Technique. "As he said this, he waved to summon someone.
The man also had his face painted white. He was a Hwarang, but his rough appearance could not be concealed under the powder. He stepped forward and stood in the center of the stone platform. He shook his shoulders, took off his white robe, and revealed The upper body is knotted with muscles, and the lower body only wears a calf-shaped crotch. The legs of the trousers are rolled up high, exposing the legs, which are also very strong.
Xiang'er whispered to Jiang Shuo: "This man has a well-proportioned figure, not like the doctor from the "massage department" who is so big at the top and small at the bottom... It's just that he looks like this, but he also has a white face. It's really... That's ridiculous……"
Jiang Shuo said: "I can't say he's very well-proportioned. Judging from his body shape, he's too short..."
Dugu Xiang nodded and said, "No wonder he looks so strong. I'm afraid it has something to do with his short birth."
The Silla monk Xinxing on the stage said, "This is my Silla Hwarang, my name is Pu Jingming, and I am seven feet and five inches long."
After hearing this, all the doctors nodded frequently. Dugu Xiang asked curiously: "Doesn't the doctor's eyesight look bad? He was born so short, how could he be seven feet five inches tall?"
Li Tengkong said from the side: "He is talking about Xia Chi."
Dugu Xiang said: "Why are you talking about Xia Chi suddenly?"
Li Tengkong said: "It is said to be a Xia ruler, but it is actually a ruler from the Qin and Han Dynasties. It was the measurement of the time when the "Huangdi Neijing Lingshu" was written. Lingshu used seven feet and five inches as the standard length of an adult man, and the Tang ruler was only five feet. Only six inches."
Dugu Xiang said: "Oh, so this person is of standard height...but I think he is shorter than ordinary people."
Li Tengkong said: "In every dynasty and every generation, the standard body length is constantly increasing. In terms of Tang people, the length of men is no less than six feet. In terms of Han rulers, it is more than eight feet. However, in medicine, the length of "Lingshu" is As a model, the human body drawn in the Mingtang acupuncture diagram is seven feet and five inches long on a Xia ruler."
Quan Xingjian asked, "Then you want to try the needle on this gentleman?"
Xinxing said: "Not bad!"
The doctors in the audience burst into laughter. It should be noted that a great sage like Quan Xingjian is an ordinary acupuncturist. Recognizing acupuncture points is also the most basic skill. What can be compared? Even if you use stone needles to prick acupuncture points, it is not difficult as long as you are careful.
Xinxing said, "I have something to say first. If it were an ordinary person, it would be easy for Quan Daxian to identify acupuncture points and insert needles. However, Park Hwarang is extremely talented and is a unique "Special Acupuncture Doctor". "
As the name "Qi Xue Lang" suggests, the meridians and acupuncture points all over the body are strange and out of alignment, and are not in their original positions. If you follow the diagram in the "Mingtang Acupuncture Chart", you will not be able to hit the acupoints of people with strange acupuncture points. However, these words did not calm the doctors in the audience. Everyone still looked relaxed. Quanxingjian smiled and crossed his hands and said: "I want the great monk to know that our country, the Tang Dynasty, is not as big as Silla. It has a vast territory and a large number of people. Although there are few people with strange acupoints, they are by no means rare. It has been described in the "Jia Yi Jing" of the previous dynasty, and the "Picture of Three Men in the Mingtang" of this dynasty details the method of finding acupoints. Nowadays, acupuncture can be used to treat people with strange acupoints. It’s going to be difficult.”
Dugu Xiang asked Li Tengkong in a low voice: "Tengkongzi, what are these "Jia Yi Jing" and "Ming Tang Tu"?"
Li Tengkong said: "The Acupuncture Jia Yi Jing written by the great Confucian Huang Fumi of the Jin Dynasty is the first acupuncture book and a must-read book for acupuncture doctors. There are a total of 349 acupuncture points recorded in the book. However, the Jia Yi Jing These acupuncture points are only arranged according to body parts, not according to the meridians. It was not until the Wei Dynasty Cao Xi wrote the "Twelve Classics Mingtang Yan Side Picture" in the Three Kingdoms period, and the Qin Chengzu in the Liu Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty wrote the "Mingtang Picture" that the meridians and acupoints were established The relationship between them was recorded in detail. Both doctors and martial artists did not know the wonders of acupoints and meridians until that time.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Zhen Quan created the "Mingtang Acupuncture Diagram", and the later officials of the Imperial Medical Office revised the "Mingtang Acupuncture Diagram". They were all revisions based on the predecessors. Later Sun Simiao combined his own insights to draw the colorful "Mingtang Three People" "Picture", there are three pictures in this picture, namely the picture of the person looking up, the picture of the person with the back and the picture of the person sideways. Use five colors to mark the twelve meridians, and use green to mark the meridians.
The total number of recorded acupoints along the eight meridians has reached 650. Today's doctors all follow this map to find acupoints and perform moxibustion. "
Jiang Shuo said: "It turns out that today's martial arts practitioners are able to practice internal strength because of the efforts of doctors of all ages." He secretly compared the meridians and acupoints described in the Jade Jue. According to Li Tengkong, the Kung Fu should be practiced no earlier than the Liu Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty. It turns out that this magical jade technique was not left by the ancient immortals. The predecessor who created this magical technique only lived two hundred years ago.
Xin Xing smiled and said: "Since Quan Daxian is full of confidence, we might as well give it a try. Lao Na first used a meteorite to prick the acupoint to prove Pu Lang's strange acupoint."
As he spoke, Xinxing walked up to Pu Jingming, and Prince Qianyun followed beside him, offering a wooden box containing the stone needles. There were originally nine black needles in the box, but the longest one had been broken. Xinxing picked up the half-cut needle and said: "The ring-tiao needle is used to remove deep evil and distant numbness. There is no need to use it today." He picked up the thickest needle, which was about four inches long. Round, used to drain joint water." Then he picked up a sub-thick needle, only one inch and six minutes long. The needle body is thick, but its edge is sharp. Xin Xing said: "This needle is sharp, its tip is like a yak, and it is round and Sharp, slightly large in the middle of the body, used to extract violent energy, these three needles are not needles for puncturing acupoints." After saying this, he put the three needles back into the box.
Then he picked up three needles. One end was large and sharp like a stylus, the other was edged and the three corners were like a triangular pyramid. The three needles were sharp like sword blades and had edges on both sides. The needle is used to treat carbuncle fever and bleeding, and the beryllium needle is used to drain pus and let blood flow. The three needles used to treat bleeding are not used now." After saying this, he put it back into the box.
He picked up a round-headed needle and said: "The needle is like an oval. It will not hurt the muscles when rubbed between the points. This massage needle is not used." He then picked up the thinnest Niuhao fine needle and said: "Puncture the needle with the filiform needle in the acupuncture point. No one except the doctor and the patient can know whether it is successful or not, so it is not suitable for school examinations." The two needles were also put back into the box.
Finally, he picked up a three-inch-and-a-half-inch long needle and said, "The sharp needle is as sharp as millet and chestnut. It should be used to press the pulse and not sink it, causing the qi to be released. Please try this needle today."
At this moment, Quan Xingjian no longer felt contempt, and nodded: "The needle is thicker, and it is mainly used to extract Qi according to the pulse and make the evil come out. The acupoints need to be punctured very accurately. If there is any deviation, the skin will be broken and bleeding will come out." It’s better to take advantage of it.”
Nobuyuki nodded in agreement and said to Pu Jingming, "Turn around."
Pu Jingming turned around, revealing his strong back. Xinxing twisted the stone needle in his hand and gently rubbed it on the left side of his spine a few times. The needle sank into the skin. Xinxing said while twisting the stone needle: " Everyone, please look, I will stab Pu Lang’s Fengmen point first.”
Fengmen point is under the spinous process of the second thoracic vertebra, an inch and a half away. From the appearance, it is on the left and right sides of the second depression under Dazhui, but the insertion position of Xinxing is not here, it is much farther than an inch and a half. Inward, it almost touches the Shinto point on the spine, and Shinto is a forbidden point for needles. A slight stabbing can cause paralysis of the limbs, and severe damage can lead to paralysis.
The doctors did not think that Xin Xing's words were conclusive, but they acted in such an unprofessional manner. Although they did not like the Silla people, the doctors were kind-hearted. Seeing that Xin Xing's injection would seriously injure Pu Jingming, they couldn't help but exclaim.
However, Nobuyuki turned a deaf ear to the exclamations. He kept digging the needle in his hand until it was almost an inch deep before withdrawing his hand, taking a step back and saying, "Everyone, please take a look."
Everyone saw that Pu Jingming was still standing well. If he was really stabbed at the Shinto acupoint, he would definitely be unable to stand at this moment.
Xin Xing stepped forward and pinched the tail of the needle to withdraw the stone needle. Then he saw that the skin around Pu Jingming's spine had already returned to its original state, and not a single drop of blood leaked out. Xin Xing handed the stone needle to Quan Xing Inspector, who took a look at the needle. It's still black and smooth, without any trace of blood.
Prince Qianyun of Silla sent several more needles, and Xing Xing compared them with Quan Xingjian and said, "Please check with Quan Xingxian first." Quan Xingjian's expression was already serious at this moment, and he squeezed it absently. While delivering the needles, one of them accidentally broke, which proved that these needles were indeed made of stone.
Quan Xingjian was quite embarrassed, but Qian Yun smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter, I have plenty of stone needles like this in Silla." He handed these stone needles to Xin Xing again.
This time, Xinxing asked Pu Jingming to turn around and face everyone, saying, "This time I will stab him at the three acupoints of Tianfu, Tianding and Tianrong."
But I saw that this time he was not as slow and leisurely as before. Instead, he moved quickly and instantly inserted three needles into Pu Jingming's body. However, these three needles penetrated the three acupoints he mentioned.
It was said that Tianfu's was clearly piercing the Yunmen point, Tianding's was clearly piercing the Quepen acupoint, and Tianrong's was clearly piercing the Jianjing acupoint. The doctors of Tang Dynasty in the audience couldn't help but exclaimed again, but before waiting, They stepped forward to stop him, but most of the three needles had penetrated into Pu Jingming's shoulder, neck, and back of his neck, and they were deeper than before.
Duguxiang asked Li Tengkong, "Tengkongzi, what are these doctors doing so loudly?"
Li Tengkong said: "The three points mentioned by Xinluo Monk Xinxing just now are all ordinary acupuncture points, but the three places punctured are all important points on the human body. "Song of Forbidden Acupuncture Points" says, "There is a cloud gate outside and a dock end, and there is a missing point. If the owner of the basin suffers from deep fainting, he will also faint when the Jianjing is deep. If he needs to be repaired three miles away, he will still be calm." These three points, namely Yunmen, Quepen and Jianjing, cannot be punctured. "
Dugu Xiang said curiously: "But I saw that Park Hwarang was standing there properly. He didn't look strange and didn't look like he was about to faint."
Li Tengkong said: "I can't understand this. Is this person really born with a different acupoint?"
Pu Jingming had three needles inserted into his acupuncture points but he didn't notice it. He still stood firmly on the stage. Wounded, not a single drop of blood.
Li Tengkong said: "This needle is very thick. If it doesn't hit the acupoint, it will definitely bleed. It seems that this old monk is really good at identifying acupoints."
