Under One Person: My Inner Realm Connects to All Worlds!

Chapter 284 A Prophecy Fulfilled, Medical Legacy
Under One Person World, Biyou Village.

The night is like ink, full of stars.

The real Li Xingyun lay on a grassy slope outside the village, his hands clasped behind his head, gazing at the vast starry sky, his eyes filled with confusion and emptiness.

His brows were furrowed, as if he were pondering the most difficult question in his life.

Hmm, a very "philosophical" question.

"Who am I, Li Xingyun? The villain from 'The Legend of Qin'? A prince of the Tang Dynasty? The commander of the Bad Guys?"

"Or is he a pathetic wretch who went mad while cultivating that 'divine mask' and completely lost himself?"

This problem haunted him like a nightmare.

For example: Is it "I think, therefore I am," or "I am, therefore I think"?
Distinguishing between the spiritual and the material is equally difficult.

The memories are so vivid: the dawns and dusks at the Sword Pavilion, Master Yang Shuzi's earnest teachings, and Junior Sister Lu Linxuan's clear laughter.

Yuan Tiangang's deep, hoarse questioning, the wind and sand of the northern desert, Ji Ruxue's icy touch, and the illusion that shattered and then reformed like a mirror image...

But all of this became precarious after Wang Zhenqiu took out that thing called a "cell phone," showed him the so-called "anime," and later, when he took advantage of the chaos to knock out a NaDuTong employee and saw the task briefing on his communication device.

The words on the briefing were cold and jarring:
[Target Number]: 0527
[Target State]: Deep cognitive impairment, self-identification as the fictional character 'Li Xingyun' (from the animated work "The Legend of Qin"), accompanied by the phenomenon of corresponding abilities materializing.

[Task Priority]: High

[Action Instructions]: Locate and implement gentle control measures to guide them back to the research center.

Try to avoid physical conflict to prevent the target from losing control of their emotions, causing their willpower to run rampant or their self-perception to further collapse.

Coercive measures may be used if necessary, but the primary focus should be on control rather than lethality.

[Note]: The target's risk rating has been upgraded to 'High Risk'. Its materialized abilities are incredibly destructive, and it is suspected of being connected to an unknown source of high-concentration willpower. Extreme caution is required in any action.

“Fictional character…cognitive impairment…uncontrolled willpower…”

These words pierced straight into his mind.

If those epic and heart-wrenching experiences were all fake, then what is the meaning of his existence?
A madman immersed in his own world?

A puppet controlled by something called "willpower"?
Then who is the real him? A nameless, faceless, and even forgotten person?
"Ah……"

Li Xingyun let out a bitter laugh, tinged with self-mockery.

Just then, a gentle night breeze swept by, carrying the fresh scent of the fields. He sat up and looked towards the sparsely lit, peaceful Biyou Village not far away.

Perhaps this place isn't bad either.

When he was being hunted by Na Du Tong and was as frantic as a stray dog ​​with nowhere to go, it was Ma Xian Hong, the leader of the Ma Cult in Biyou Village, who took him in.

Without pressing him for details, they simply saw that he had nowhere to stay and gave him a place to live.

The people in the village are also strange, but most of them don't have any bad intentions.

For example, the old man named Bi Yuan was highly skilled in medicine, especially his "Ghost Needle" technique, which was incredibly advanced.

I learned a great deal from exchanging medical theories and acupuncture techniques with him. When I demonstrated the "Huayang Acupuncture Technique," Grandpa Bi's eyes lit up with astonishment, and he stroked his beard, marveling at it.
"Young friend, your acupuncture technique is quite remarkable!"

At that time, Bi Yuan said solemnly, "I have practiced medicine for most of my life and have never seen such exquisite and domineering acupuncture techniques. It seems to be a technique to save lives, but in fact it is a balance of yin and yang, combining strength and gentleness."

"It can strengthen the foundation and nourish the vital energy, promote health through acupuncture, and assist in the circulation of Qi; it can also instantly reverse the flow of Qi, dissipate Qi and power, and subdue the enemy invisibly!"

"Such a complete and profound medical lineage, in today's world, even the renowned medical school Jishetang probably can't produce one!"

Bi Yuan's praise put him at ease, at least this skill wasn't just something he imagined.

Furthermore, since it was a rare opportunity for Grandpa Bi to meet a young person practicing traditional medicine, he couldn't help but talk more, introducing him to the current medical schools in great detail.

Today, the medical tradition is mostly divided into five branches: medicine, medicine, qi, acupuncture, and pulse.

"Medicine" refers to a doctor.

In modern times, Jishetang is more famous, and its founder is Fei Changfang, who is mentioned in the "Biographies of Fangshu" in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty.

Legend has it that during the summer of the Han Dynasty, a plague struck Yuzhou, leaving corpses strewn across the land.

One day, an old man came here and opened a shop in an alley. There was nothing in the shop except a medicine gourd hanging in front of the door, which was filled with pills that could cure all kinds of plagues.

Fei Changfang secretly went to check and found that the old man had jumped into the gourd. Fei Changfang was very surprised and went to visit him with wine and food. The old man then invited him to enter the gourd with him.

Fei Changfang then followed him to learn Taoism, and the old man taught him all the skills of "hanging a gourd to save the world".

Medicine is the medicine doctor.

Since most Chinese medicines are herbal, there is a saying that "all medicines are based on herbs".

Therefore, the herb garden became synonymous with medicinal garden; Chinese medicine refers to drugs that are collected, processed, and used in clinical applications under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theory.

Traditional Chinese medicine has always been separate from medicine, but the two are often closely linked. Chinese medicine emphasizes the four natures of cold, heat, warmth, and coolness, and the five flavors of sour, bitter, sweet, pungent, and salty, as well as ascending, descending, floating, and sinking, which complement the medical practice.

Pharmacists, on the other hand, revere Sun Simiao, a Tang Dynasty medical scientist and Daoist, as the King of Medicine and their common ancestor.

According to the Old Book of Tang, Dugu Xin, a minister of the Western Wei Dynasty, highly valued Sun Simiao and called him a "prodigy".

Here's something that most people don't know: the reason Sun Simiao, the "King of Medicine," was called the "King of Medicine" was not only because of his achievements, but also because of his innate special abilities.

According to legend, Shennong's abdomen was as transparent as crystal, allowing him to clearly observe the internal organs and the reactions of food. This trait enabled him to taste hundreds of herbs and identify their medicinal properties.

While Sun Simiao, the "King of Medicine," could not compare to Shennong, he possessed a tongue capable of discerning the taste and properties of hundreds of herbs, enabling him to deduce invaluable prescriptions, much of which was attributed to this tongue.

Qi refers to Qigong, which was called Daoyin in ancient times. It is a practice for health preservation and longevity.

Sun Simiao even proposed that there are curable diseases of the body and disasters of the world that can be averted. It is best to regulate one's qi, replenish and drain, massage, and guide the body daily, and not take good health for granted.

In fact, all the sects associated with extraordinary individuals belong to the Qigong sect, which is the way of cultivating Qi.

However, sects that specialize in cultivating primordial qi to prolong life are now very rare.

After all, everyone knows the history of China, which is full of war and chaos. Sects that only aim for longevity and have no means of protection will naturally not last long or be passed down for a long time.

If I had to name one, it would be "one stream of energy," also known as "the whole body's stream of energy."

Zhou Dunyi said in his "Explanation of the Diagram of the Supreme Ultimate": "When the Qi flows through, the Supreme Ultimate becomes the Limitless."

Huang Yuanyu, a court physician during the previous dynasty, simplified it into the idea of ​​"one qi circulating throughout the body," and accidentally became the nominal founder of the One Qi Circulation School.

Needles, that's acupuncture.

The art of acupuncture and moxibustion has existed since ancient times. How long has it been?

Legend has it that acupuncture originated during the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period. It is said that Fuxi invented acupuncture by tasting hundreds of herbs and creating nine needles, which is the origin of acupuncture.

Currently, there are three well-known acupuncture techniques in the community of supernatural beings: closed-center acupuncture, ghost gate acupuncture, and three-way fire acupuncture.

The secrets of the Closed Yuan Needle technique are not kept secret; many sects even possess it. This has become a relatively safe defensive measure after capturing a superhuman. Moreover, it is extremely simple and effective; simply inserting the needle along the Du Meridian can control the superhuman's abilities.

The Governing Vessel (Du Mai) is also known as the Heavenly River, and it is the essential path for each cycle of the body; it is the first step in opening up the eight extraordinary meridians.

There are three difficult passes on the Du meridian: the coccyx pass, the spine pass, and the Yuzhen acupoint. Practitioners need to exert force to break through these three passes, which in modern terms is called getting a chill or a shiver.

This jolt, also known as "golden crystal" in Taoism, is similar to the role of Venus (Venus) and the water-avoiding golden crystal beast in "Journey to the West," which helps in overcoming obstacles.

Without that sudden realization, one would have to overcome the three obstacles one by one.

The strength of a sheep accompanying a cold dragon across the coccyx and pelvis, the strength of a deer across the spine and back, and the strength of a tiger across the cervical spine and the jade pillow—this is like three hundred monks pulling grass, trees, and withered stones, yet none of them can match the power of a single shake of the golden crystal.

Therefore, the three vehicles of the human body are difficult to operate, hence the name "Chechi" (meaning slow movement of the vehicle).

Therefore, as long as the flow of Qi in the Du Meridian is blocked by needles, the channel for the flow of Qi in the three vehicles is blocked. Not to mention reaching the Heavenly Palace, even ordinary Qi circulation may be difficult.

Let's talk about the Ghost Needle again.

Guimen is a term in traditional Chinese medicine, which refers to the sweat pore, also known as Xuanfu and Qimen.

A doctor is someone who understands life best; they can heal and control people. The Ghost Needle is both a medical technique and a martial art.

It can be used to treat people with acupuncture, or to seal acupoints, rendering them unable to move or defend themselves. It is particularly effective in breaking through protective techniques.

It's equivalent to breaking through the protective qi in martial arts novels, but it also has the effect of sealing off the qi meridians.

Bi Yuan, this old man Bi, is a master of the Ghost Needle technique; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the second-best Ghost Needle practitioner.

It is only inferior to Ding Shian, after all, Ding Shian's Ghost Needle can be controlled at will, not only can it strike acupoints from a distance, but it can also control the depth of the needle.

After all, the cultivation of extraordinary individuals depends heavily on talent.

Despite his lifelong efforts, Mr. Bi could not match Ding Shian's exceptional talent.

Finally, there is the Three-Passage Fire Needle, a method used to treat stroke-related diseases.

The Three-Passage Acupuncture Method is named as such because it is a micro-passage method mainly using filiform needles, a warm-passage method mainly using fire needles and moxibustion, and a strong-passage method mainly using three-edged needles for bloodletting.

In combat, three different needling techniques have emerged: fine needles, fire needles, and large needles.

It can not only break through external martial arts techniques and the protective true qi, but can also be used as a weapon when necessary.

The longest needle is as long as an arm.

I wonder who it is that can withstand this needle.

The needle went in... Ouch!

Finally, there's the pulse.

The pulse refers to the meridians or collaterals.

In traditional Chinese medicine, meridians are the channels through which qi and blood circulate, connecting the internal organs, the body surface, and all parts of the body. They are the regulatory system of human body functions, and meridian theory is also the foundation of acupuncture and massage.

In fact, although the medical schools are divided into five branches, they are closely connected. While one cannot say that all are interconnected, they are largely similar.

When talking about meridians, one person must be mentioned.

Lei Yanpao, one of the Four Madmen, is Gao Ning.

A representative of those who indulge in wine, women, wealth, and anger.

Its ability is the Twelve Emotional Array, which can affect the twelve meridians of the person within the array. Each meridian corresponds to two emotions, positive and negative, and these emotions can be switched repeatedly to weaken the opponent.

Just like repeatedly bending a wire, the wire will eventually break, and the person will collapse and sink into a certain emotion, unable to extricate himself, and the organs corresponding to that emotion will be severely damaged.

The Ling Shu (Spiritual Pivot) states in the chapter "On the Sea": "The twelve meridians are internally connected to the viscera and externally connected to the limbs and joints; fire needles are aimed at these twelve meridians of the human body; each of the twelve meridians of the human body governs a certain emotion."

“If the Heart Meridian is blocked, you will hold a grudge; if the Liver Meridian is blocked, you will get angry; if the Spleen Meridian is blocked, you will complain; if the Lung Meridian is blocked, you will feel sad; if the Kidney Meridian is blocked, you will feel stressed; if the Pericardium Meridian is blocked, you will feel depressed; if the Gallbladder Meridian is blocked, you will feel anxious; if the Stomach Meridian is blocked, you will feel irritable; if the Small Intestine Meridian is blocked, you will feel sad; if the Large Intestine Meridian is blocked, you will feel annoyed; if the Bladder Meridian is blocked, you will feel depressed; if the Triple Energizer Meridian is blocked, you will feel tense.”

These are the twelve labors.

Everyone knows that extreme joy or sorrow will inevitably harm one's health, let alone the twelve extreme emotions.

To put it bluntly, Lei Yanpao Gao Ning, besides being a wicked and eccentric person, may also be someone who is well-versed in medical principles.

It is often said that medicine and martial arts are inseparable, and this is exactly the case.

Furthermore, massage, also known as Tuina, was called Anqiao or Anfu in ancient times.

In the original comic, the World Society had a masseur who helped Zhang Chulan clear his meridians.

Massage is based on the theories of viscera and meridians in traditional Chinese medicine, combined with the anatomical and pathological diagnosis of Western medicine. It uses the hands to press on the meridians and acupoints on the human body and perform treatments using techniques such as pushing, grasping, lifting, pinching, and kneading.

The treatment aims to achieve therapeutic goals by applying external force directly to the injured area and using the strength and skill of the hands to regulate physiological and pathological changes in the body.

The "Medical Mirror - Essentials of Orthopedics - External Treatment Methods" states: "Pressing refers to pressing down with the hand. Rubbing refers to gently massaging... Pressing the meridians can unblock the stagnant qi; rubbing the congestion can disperse the swelling caused by blood stasis, and the disease can be cured."

In general, medicine was originally a skill developed to cure diseases, and it shone even brighter in the hands of extraordinary individuals.

But people have different likes and dislikes, and these medical skills have been developed into different methods.

But a quote from Sun Simiao, the "King of Medicine," is most applicable here: "Human life is of utmost importance, more precious than a thousand pieces of gold; to save a life with a single prescription is a virtue surpassing even that."

This is what is called: medical ethics!
This can also be considered as what Grandpa Bi taught Li Xingyun when he was confused.

"Being a doctor doesn't seem so bad!"

Li Xingyun looked at his palm and inexplicably recalled the scene in the Sword Pavilion where Yang Shuzi handed him the medical book. He sighed and said:
"I've finally put this medical skill to good use."

"If we cannot heal the country, then we will heal the people!"

The little girl named Liu Wu Kui was lively and cheerful, with amazing strength. She always pestered him with questions, hoping he could find a way to cure her brother.

Looking into her hopeful eyes, Li Xingyun would always think of Lu Linxuan, and his heart would soften. He tried his best to use his medical skills, but the effect was minimal. Wu Kui was still very grateful to him.

There are several other villagers known as "superior talents," each with their own quirks, but getting along with them is simple and straightforward.

Here, there is no heavy burden of governing the country, no treacherous strife, only the tranquility of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

"Isn't this the kind of carefree life I've always wanted?" Li Xingyun murmured to himself, a complex smile playing on his lips.

"But Master, Junior Sister, where are you now? Are you alright?"

He shook his head, as if trying to shake off those chaotic thoughts. Since he was already here, he might as well make the best of it. At least for now, this place offered him a rare refuge.

He brushed the grass clippings off his clothes and prepared to return to the hut assigned to him in the village.

However, the moment he turned around, a figure appeared silently not far in front of him, blocking his way.
