Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 1032 Calling Back the Soul from the Ghost Gate, Bringing the Dead Back to Life (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

Seeing that this method was effective, Old Tang quickly asked Fang Yan:

"Wouldn't it be more helpful to call his close friends and family?"

Fang Yan was taken aback, then quickly nodded:
"of course can!"

Old Tang immediately turned to his attendants and instructed them:
"Go and bring over Comrade Fu, who is in charge of Sun Kai's safe house."

"Yes!" The attendant quickly left.

Old Tang didn't stop, he bent down and gently patted Sun Kai's cheek, his aged voice trembling:

“Comrade Sun Kai, hang in there! Fu Yu is coming soon. Do you remember when you were at the Sai Wan pier, you used cigarette boxes to pass signals? She said this morning that she wanted to go to the photo studio to take wedding photos again when you woke up…”

"Sun Kai! Hang in there!"

Fang Yan heard Old Tang start shouting and felt the patient's pulse gradually becoming more rapid.

My eyelids were trembling, but I just couldn't open my eyes.

A short while later, a short-haired woman in her thirties walked in from outside.

This must be Fu Yu.

She saw Sun Kai lying on the bed and her eyes immediately turned red.

"Old Sun!" Fu Yu rushed to the bedside, tears streaming down her face. Sun Kai's nostrils twitched slightly, and suddenly he heard him utter two words:
"Mars……"

The dialect spoken nearby was clearly audible, and Old Tang was somewhat taken aback:
"What Mars???"

Then it suddenly dawned on me:
"Wait, he spoke!"

Fang Yan felt the patient's pulse and said to them:

"His pulse has improved and he is responding to external stimuli, but his consciousness is still somewhat blurred and his speech is still incoherent."

"Then what should we do?" Old Tang asked Fang Yan.

Fang Yan thought for a moment, then put down the patient's wrist, picked up the sea dragon needle again, and said:

"Wait a moment... Keep shouting, I'll try the Thirteen Ghost Needles."

Old Tang was taken aback:
"Thirteen Ghost Needles?"

Fang Yan paused in his hand holding the sea dragon needle, his gaze sweeping over Sun Kai's trembling eyelids, and explained, "The Thirteen Ghost Needles is a method specifically for treating coma caused by evil spirits and phlegm obstructing the mind. Inserting needles into thirteen ghost acupoints on the body can force out the stagnation and turbidity in the brain."

He tapped the patient's Baihui acupoint with his finger:

“But this acupuncture technique is too aggressive. Given his injury, I dare not use it unless it is absolutely necessary. I am afraid of damaging his brain.”

Old Tang suddenly realized:
"You mean, now that he has the will to live and his soul has returned to its place, this acupuncture technique can be used?"

Nodding in dialect:

“Previously, his pulse was weak and thready; administering this acupuncture would likely have directly depleted his vital energy. Now that his pulse has returned to normal and he can hear the voices of his loved ones, it is the perfect time to ‘keep him alive for treatment.’”

Fu Yu gripped Sun Kai's hand tightly, her knuckles turning white: "Please use the needles, we trust you."

Fang Yan nodded, then asked:
"Oh, right, I also need some musk. Do you have any here?"

"Yes!" Old Tang nodded, then called to his assistant behind him.

Mr. Huo, who was watching from the sidelines, said:

"I have a bigger one at home, why don't you go and get mine?"

Fang Yan said to this person:

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Huo, but I only need a little bit."

Mr. Huo then nodded.

Fang Yan turned his head away and said no more. He wiped the sea dragon needle three times with an alcohol swab and adjusted the angle of the needle tip under the light.

"Come on, help me hold the light." Fang Yan pointed to the philtrum and said to Deng Cai, who was holding the lamp.

Then he said to Mr. Tang and Fu Yu:
“You may continue speaking to Comrade Sun Kai.”

The three of them quickly did as instructed.

Under Deng Cai's flashlight, Fang Yan inserted the first needle into the Renzhong acupoint, inserting the needle tip obliquely three-tenths of an inch. After obtaining the Qi in the acupoint, he immediately performed the "sparrow pecking method" for strong stimulation. This is the "opening the ghost gate" method of the Thirteen Ghost Needles, which aims to awaken the dormant mind.

The next second, Sun Kai's eyelids twitched violently, and a muffled groan escaped his throat.

"It works!" Mr. Huo said with some surprise.

"Second needle, Shaoshang, keep an eye on it for me," Fang Yan said to Deng Cai. At the same time, he pinched the patient's left thumb, and as soon as the light came on, he immediately inserted the tip of the sea dragon needle into the corner of the nail and quickly twisted it.

In just a few seconds, everyone watched as a drop of black blood seeped from the needle hole, and Sun Kai's fingers curled up slightly, as if he was trying to grab something.

Ghostly faith, ghostly ramparts...

Fang Yan then recited the names of the acupoints, and the Hailong needle pierced the points one by one, like a butterfly flitting through flowers, including Guigong (Laogong), Guilu (Weizhong), and Guizhen (Fengfu).

Just after the needle was inserted into the Fengfu acupoint, Sun Kai suddenly coughed violently and spat out a mouthful of dark purple phlegm, which was mixed with fine streaks of blood.

"What is this?" Everyone looked at Fang Yan with surprise and uncertainty.

“Don’t worry, it’s just phlegm being expelled,” Fang Yan said.

"The musk is here." The comrade who had been looking for the musk came down with a glass bottle.

Fang Yan took the bottle, opened it, and used a sea dragon needle to pick out a piece the size of a grain of rice. She gently placed it on Sun Kai's Tanzhong acupoint, then took a match and heated the tip of the sea dragon needle. She found that the tip didn't turn red. Fang Yan was baffled, then realized the materials were different, but confirmed she had definitely burned it, so she quickly moved on to the next step.

Fang Yan quickly inserts a needle into the musk at the Tanzhong acupoint. This is the method of "fire needle penetration", which uses the power of musk to open the orifices and attack blood stasis with fire poison.

The moment the needle pierced his flesh, Sun Kai's muscles tensed up instantly, shaking the bed. Fu Yu was stunned.

Turning to look at Fang Yan, I saw Fang Yan turn his wrist and slowly rotate the silver needle in the acupoint.

A moment later, Sun Kai's body temperature rose noticeably, and everyone could see a faint red tinge through his thin skin.

"Alright, leave the needles in for five minutes," Fang Yan said to everyone after glancing at his watch.

Whether he wakes up or not depends on this.

Time passed by, and Old Tang stopped talking. Fu Yu was talking to Sun Kai, recalling details of their previous missions. It was clear that they were a couple, but not yet married.

Some things are hard to say when there are so many people around.

Fang Yan looked at it and said:
"Comrade Fu Yu, you stay here with Comrade Sun Kai. We'll go out first and try to talk about things that left a deep impression on you."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yu paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Fang Yan and the others left the basement together.

As soon as I went outside, I saw a Western doctor coming over with a feeding tube.

"We finally found it after searching for ages! How did you all get out here?" He asked the crowd, sweat beading on his forehead.

Fang Yan said to him:
"It's alright, we'll go in later. Comrade Fu Yu is talking to Comrade Sun Kai inside right now."

"He's awake?" the Western doctor exclaimed in shock.

Old Tang said:
"We'll know if he's awake or not when we go downstairs."

The Western doctors looked at everyone blankly, not understanding what was going on.

Fang Yan checked the time and said:

"My senior brother's medicine should be ready by now, right?"

“He’s in the kitchen,” Old Tang said.

"I'll go take a look," Li Chong volunteered.

Fang Yan and the others then waited outside the basement stairs.

They also talked about Comrade Sun Kai.

He is indeed very important to the organization. It took a lot of effort to get him to his current position. A lot of information is obtained from him, so he can't die now.

Otherwise, it would be a huge blow to the entire Hong Kong system.

After a while, Li Chong came over with a tray containing the medicine that Fang Yan had asked him to brew.

His senior brother Xue Zhen was following behind him.

"Time's up, let's go down!" Fang Yan glanced at his watch and said to everyone.

The group then went to the basement together.

"He's still not awake!" Fu Yu said to Fang Yan with a hint of despair.

Fang Yan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and said:

"It's okay, he might wake up when the injection is removed."

Fu Yu then felt a glimmer of hope.

Fang Yan came to the bedside, pinched the sea dragon needle, and then suddenly pulled it out.

Just then, Sun Kai on the bed suddenly let out a groan. Everyone looked over in surprise and saw that his eyelids were slowly opening a crack.

As his gaze shifted, Fang Yan continued to remove the needles. Then he opened his eyes and looked at Fu Yu's face. Although his eyes were still cloudy, they were now more focused.

Fu Yu trembled as she held up the cigarette case in her hand, the coded token they used for their rendezvous. Sun Kai's pupils contracted slightly, and he forced out a few broken syllables:

"cigarette case……"

Old Tang was so excited that he slapped his thigh repeatedly:

"Oh, I finally recognize him!"

Fang Yan felt Sun Kai's pulse; it was three points stronger than before, though still weak, like a seed buried deep in the ground breaking through the frozen soil.

He then examined the pulse at the fuyang point on the foot, and found that the weakness had lessened slightly, with faint signs of the stomach qi returning to normal.

Fang Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was truly a miracle that he was not destined to die; his severed meridians had actually been cured by the Thirteen Ghost Needles and the Soul Calling Technique.

To be honest, he wasn't confident before.

"Here, drink your medicine!" Fang Yan realized what was happening, took the medicine from Li Chong, and urged Sun Kai to drink it quickly.

He's still not out of danger and needs further treatment.
