Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 894 Tai Chi Yin and Yang, Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

"..." Fang Yan was speechless at the question of whether one's birth chart was strong or not.

If you don't know something and you encounter it anyway, then you should check if your birth chart is strong or not.

Fang Yan asked He Puren curiously again:

"If one's birth chart is not strong enough and is tainted with illness, what methods can be used to remove it?"

He Puren is now removing the fourth and final needle.

After hearing the question about dialect, he paused and said:
"Sunbathe, listen to thunder, climb famous mountains, wash with mugwort, meditate, practice martial arts, seek out famous doctors, do good deeds, and worship ancestors."

"Really? What's the order of these events?" Fang Yan asked with some skepticism.

He Puren said:
"Of course not, it's because I've caught a disease and there's nothing I can do but try things one by one."

"First rely on the energy of nature, then on your own energy, or on the help of others. If all else fails, do good deeds and pray to your ancestors for protection."

After saying that, seeing the disbelief on Fang Yan's face, he said seriously:
"I'm not joking, someone has summarized this."

"If the first two methods don't work, they might change the name and go to another place."

"It's like some patients who were sick in one place, but after going to a completely different place, they inexplicably got better again, that's the type."

"For example, when you go abroad, change your English name, and change your living and eating environment, the disease suddenly disappears."

"You have so many patients who were brought back from other countries. You must have encountered some patients who were originally very ill, but suddenly started to improve after arriving in Beijing."

"Don't tell me you didn't run into her!"

Hearing him say that, Fang Yan thought of Situ Chi.

That makes sense.

"Yes, there is." Fang Yan nodded.

He Puren said with a smile:

"The problems you are facing now are all things our ancestors considered."

"They have been searching for methods for more than one generation, and finally summarized this set of things. It may seem a bit inexplicable, but it is useful. It's just that too few of them have been passed down."

After he finished speaking, he also removed the fourth needle. After removing the broken jade, it broke into three pieces on the table.

"Alright... everything's disassembled. I'll go get you a new jade handle to attach." He Puren stood up and went to get the jade handle.

Fang Yan asked He Puren:
"If you have this skill, wouldn't you be able to make your own Heavenly Needle?"

He Puren said as he rummaged through the things:
"Of course not. The Heavenly Craft Needle is all about the needle itself! Only a few people know its structure. Even if you make an ordinary silver needle and attach a jade handle, it's still not a Heavenly Craft Needle."

After saying that, he took out a box and turned back.

At the same time, he asked in dialect:

"There's a trick to his needle technique. You should have heard a 'hissing' sound when he inserted the needle, right?"

Fang Yan nodded after hearing this:

"Yes, I was curious too, wondering what was making that noise."

He Puren said:
"It's the secret of the material and craftsmanship of this needle. Even without the jade handle, the main body of this needle is still a good needle, it just can't isolate the pathogenic energy."

Fang Yan picked up the tip of the Heavenly Craft Needle and found that its color was indeed different from that of ordinary silver needles, and it also had fine spiral patterns, but he couldn't feel them when he touched it.

Based on dialect, it's speculated that it might have been made from several different metals.

He suddenly realized:

"I see. I was thinking that if the ordinary dragon handle were replaced with a jade handle, wouldn't it also be called the Heavenly Craft Needle?"

He Puren sat in the back, opened the box, and said with a smile:

"Haha, those hand-stitched needles are worthless."

"This is one of the most famous needles in the world."

As he spoke, he took the jade handle out of the box.

“This design looks a bit different,” Fang Yan pointed to the jade handle in He Puren’s hand.

He Puren said:
"Yes, the Heavenly Craft Needle has six types of handles. The Taiji Yin-Yang and the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams are the two most common types."

"In addition, there are the Four Symbols Spirit Beasts, Cloud Script Talismans, Starry Sky Pivot, and Primordial Elixir Cauldron."

After saying that, he pointed to the still intact needle in the dialect box and said:
“Your original handle was the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, while mine is the Taiji and Yin-Yang handle.”

He asked in dialect:

"It's just a different design?"

He Puren said:
"No, the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams correspond to the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and the Nine Acupoints. When treating patients, adjusting the positions of the Nine Palaces can be quite effective in treating diseases such as epilepsy and hysteria caused by obstruction of the orifices and mental confusion." "The Tai Chi symbol, with two spiral grooves extending from the needle's tail, symbolizes the rise and fall of Qi. It helps to harmonize the imbalance of Yin and Yang in patients and has a good effect on menopausal syndrome, insomnia, and other conditions where Yin and Yang do not interact."

"There's such a saying?" Fang Yan asked in surprise. Could different needle handle shapes have this effect?

He Puren said:
"Just like Taoist talismans, this is also a Taoist medical practice, and each has its own rules."

“I knew it…” Fang Yan thought of the Tiangong Needle that the Ministry of Health had prepared for her.

While inserting the needle, He Puren asked Fang Yan curiously:
"how?"

Fang Yan thought for a moment and said:

"Oh, the patient I'm treating today has mental problems. This is the Tiangong Needle that someone prepared for me."

He did not reveal Ma Wenying's name, only saying that there was such a patient.

He Puren paused, stopped what he was doing, and said with certainty:

"The person who prepared the needles for you must be an expert."

"Hmm..." Fang Yan nodded, realizing it a little late.

Turning his head, he asked He Puren again:
"What about the other four? What are their effects?"

He Puren inserted the first needle, then handed it to Fang Yan, saying:
"I don't know, I've never seen it before, I only know the name, and I only know how to make this kind of needle handle."

After saying that, he pointed to his Hegu acupoint:
"Come on, try pricking me."

Fang Yan was taken aback.

"Try the needle, see how it feels, and adjust it if it doesn't work." He Puren then pointed to the Hegu acupoint.

"Shall we disinfect it?" Fang Yan said.

“I’ve already wiped it with an alcohol swab.” He Puren shook a clump of cotton.

It also smells of alcohol.

Hearing this, Fang Yan had no choice but to agree.

Then he said to him:
"Then I'm here?"

“Come!” He Puren said.

Fang Yan quickly inserted the needle into the Hegu acupoint, and two "hissing" sounds were heard before he obtained the Qi.

I must say, the feel is definitely different, but I can't quite put my finger on what's different.

"How is it?" He Puren asked.

"Hmm, it's alright, I don't think it needs any adjustments," Fang Yan said.

He Puren said:
"Okay, let's do it this way!"

After saying that, he removed the needle and then began to work on it.

In no time, he had completely transformed all four Heavenly Craftsmanship Needles.

"Alright, all fixed, now it's ready to use again," He Puren said.

Fang Yan bowed to He Puren with his hands clasped in a gesture of respect.

"grateful!"

"You're welcome." He Puren waved his hand.

Fang Yan still had money on him, and just as he was about to take it out to give to He Puren, the other party said:

"Don't give me money! Giving me money would be too formal!"

"I already delivered the cigarettes and alcohol when I came earlier."

After speaking, he pointed to the imported cigarettes and alcohol that Fang Yan had placed on his coffee table.

“Then you need to pay for this jade too! I won’t pay for the workmanship, I’ll just pay for the jade.” After saying that, Fang Yan was about to pay again.

He Puren said:
"They're all naturally occurring dead jade, worthless."

"If it's the Jade of Death the day after tomorrow, I definitely won't be polite to you either."

Hearing him say that, Fang Yan could only thank him again.

PS: I got another 100 votes, so I still owe you 24000 words after finishing this chapter.

There will be an extra chapter this afternoon.
