Three poles in the sun.
Inside the room, half of the instructor's clothes had been taken off, and old wounds and new wounds were intertwined, like strips of flesh-colored earthworms and centipedes crawling on him.
Tian Gongyu had inserted needles into some important acupuncture points on the chest and back. More than one needle was inserted into each place, and the needle tails were trembling in clusters.
Tian Gongyu rolled his sleeves up to his elbows, patted open the seal of a black ceramic jar, wiped his palms on a wet towel, drank some liquor from the bowl next to him, then put his palms together and inserted it into the ceramic jar.
He had already taken a candle and lit it on the corner of the table. At this time, his palms stained with strong liquor and medicinal powder flicked on the flame of the candle, and both hands burned.
Snapped! !
Tian Gongyu slapped the instructor directly with his flaming palm. It can be seen that he used a lot of force. The muscles of his forearm were tense, and they were rubbed and slapped again and again between the gaps of the silver needles.
The instructor's pale face was covered with beads of sweat the size of soybeans, and he clenched his teeth. It was obvious that he was in severe pain, but as the beating and rubbing continued, the wound on his right rib and the bruise on the back of his left shoulder, Some dark red blood beads began to ooze out.
The redness and swelling on his left elbow was the result of his hastily removing it indirectly after the dislocation, and later exerting force many times. After Tian Gongyu put his palms together and rubbed them, it also calmed down a lot.
The strong medicinal smell evaporated and gradually dispersed.
Tian Gongyu quickly sealed the jar of medicinal powder, and took out some bamboo tubes, which were about the thickness of a forearm and four inches high. A layer of ointment was applied inside the tube, and he wrapped it around the candlelight and pressed it on the instructor's body with the light of the fire. .
Basically, every silver needle is covered with a bamboo tube.
The instructor couldn't bear it any longer, so he groaned in pain, coughed twice, and said in order to divert his attention: "We haven't seen each other for a few years. Your ability to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, push acupoints and unblock meridians with your hands is getting better and better. It's a good method." ah."
"Although the Boxers are gone, people have been giving me a try in the past few years, even if they are not familiar with it."
Tian Gongyu fastened the last bamboo tube, clapped his hands, shook his head and said, "Your injury is really serious, and these external medicines and acupuncture are not enough.
Fortunately, before Guan Luoyang went to Tancheng to deliver firewood, I asked him to grab some medicine and bring it back for internal use and external application. With a two-pronged approach, coupled with your own conditioning, after more than a month, there should be no serious problem. "
"More than a month..." The instructor murmured, and then smiled, "That young man is your apprentice. His skills are not bad. Was he trained back then, or was he the master of martial arts in the past few years?"
Tian Gongyu blew out the candles, put away the medicinal powder and spirits on the table, and said: "Then you guessed wrong, he was neither trained in the past nor an art teacher.
Six years ago he rolled off my roof, and he was just a kid who didn't understand anything. At most, he was raised rich and has a good body and bones. "
The coach was surprised: "You mean it only took him six years to practice from knowing nothing to where he is now?! This..."
Tian Gongyu moved a small bamboo chair and sat down on the side. A smile appeared on his face unconsciously, and he wiped his hands and said, "You can't believe it? I still don't believe it, and I didn't expect that just after I just wanted to go into seclusion, , to have such an apprentice fall from the sky."
"His origins are quite strange. He has always been vague. However, he was slightly injured when he fell down. When he lived here, just by looking at my steps of carrying water and chopping firewood, he actually realized some of the secrets of Zhuang Gong. At that time, I thought, maybe God has opened his eyes and asked me to pass on this skill."
"It's a pity that he also has a restless temper. I'm afraid that one day..."
After saying this, the smile on Tian Gongyu's face disappeared. After being silent for a while, he just sighed.
The instructor asked a few more questions and roughly understood what Guan Luoyang had been doing in the past three years. He immediately said happily: "Okay! This is what a good man should do. You are not a disciple in vain."
The excitement on his face contrasted so sharply with the helplessness on Tian Gongyu's face.
When Tian Gongyu saw his appearance, he sighed again unconsciously.
The instructor frowned and said: "Lei Gong, why are you always sighing now? In the Boxer Rebellion back then, you had the most arrogant temperament..."
Tian Gongyu interrupted him: "As for what you did back then, the Boxers are long gone, and the Thunder Lord is gone too. Now there is only a bad old man here who wants to spend his old age in peace. But you, you are also at an age when you are about to know your destiny, why are you still messing with it? In these bloody storms?"
"It's not a bloody storm today. If I don't disturb the wind and rain, the wind and rain will sweep me away."
When the coach said this, there was a bit of sadness in his tone, but more of a firm look, "Besides, although the storm back then was defeated, now there is a new wave coming."
"After we broke up that year, I also experienced a period of decadence. But by chance, I came into contact with the Blue Sky Alliance, and I realized why we lost that year."
"Firstly, we are a bit old and stale after all. Secondly, this morning is already rotten to the core, so we cannot still have one tenth of hope in him. If we want to restore China and resist foreign aggression, we must learn Recruit new people, overthrow this court first!"
Tian Gongyu was unmoved and asked: "Qingtian?"
The coach explained: "Green is the greenness of youth, and the sky is the sky that clears away the clouds and haze to change the sky."
Tian Gongyu said: "But you and I are no longer young."
"We were."
The coach sighed with emotion, "Even if I am already old now, what if I use my old body to help them?"
The instructor paused for a moment, looked at this house that already had many traces of life, and then said, "I don't insist on dragging you to death, but I just can't listen to what you just said... Hey, don't persuade me either, I won't Don’t try to persuade you, we are still old brothers. By the way, you said you asked Luoyang to grab medicine, what kind of medicine did you grab? It won’t attract the attention of interested people, right?”
It was a life-and-death friendship back then. Now that the coach had changed the topic, Tian Gongyu tacitly resolved the issue.
"Don't worry, my waist has been bad over the years and I have to take medicine regularly. The medicines he asked him to take are not much different from the previous prescriptions. When I come back, I will pick and match them again, and no one will notice. .”
Tian Gongyu said, "There are some old men in Tancheng who are well-off and have waist and leg problems. I have recommended similar prescriptions to them. Everyone has been taking these medicines for many years. Even if the people who are chasing you really find out where they are, they will not be able to do anything." Nothing can be found.”
The instructor responded: "That's good."
Originally, they should have a lot to say when their life-and-death acquaintances reunited after a long separation, but the disagreement just now left them a little confused about what to say.
When Tian Gongyu got up and came to pull out the bamboo tubes and silver needles for the instructor, the instructor said, "What day is it today?"
Tian Gongyu recalled it and said, "It was probably September 19th."
"September 19th."
The instructor repeated, wiped the sweat from his face, and said, "Then it seems I can stay here for three or four days at most."
