"Master! Master! Not good! Mr. Wenji's body is hot and his breath is getting weaker. His condition seems to be worsening! "
At noon, Sun Simiao had just finished his lunch when Hu ran over and said anxiously.
"What? This poor Taoist will come right away! "
Hearing this, Sun Simiao's expression suddenly changed, and then he quickly walked towards Li Gang's room.
"Master, look, Mr. Wenji is sweating a lot! Shall I get some medicine to reduce his fever? "
Hu followed Sun Simiao to Li Gang's room. Seeing Li Gang sweating profusely, Hu hurriedly stepped forward and used a handkerchief to wipe Li Gang's sweat. After that, she turned to Sun Simiao and said.
Sun Simiao had been observing Li Gang's complexion from the side. He frowned and said,
"No need! Mr. Wenji is suffering from an internal deficiency and external heat. Yang deficiency is at the bottom and Yang deficiency is at the top. It's hot at the top and cold at the bottom. You can't just use medicine to reduce his fever! "
Hu frowned and couldn't help but touch the back of Li Gang's foot with her hand. Sure enough, it was cold to the touch. She said in surprise, "It's hot on the inside and cold on the outside. Master, Teacher Wenji …"
Speaking of this, she couldn't say the rest of her words, and a trace of deep sadness flashed in her eyes.
Sun Simiao sighed and said, "Alas! You guessed right. This is a sign that his condition is worsening and he is about to die. The remaining life source in Mr. Wenji's body is rapidly dissipating to maintain the circulation of life! Actually, you go out first. Master is going to perform acupuncture for Mr. Wenji! "
Hu looked at the tired Sun Simiao with tears in her eyes. She shook her head and said, "No! Master! You haven't slept since last night and have been performing acupuncture for Mr. Wenji. If this goes on, you will definitely be exhausted! "
Sun Simiao said with a serious face, "Actually, saving the dying and healing the injured is the duty of us doctors. It is also the integrity that all doctors in the world have to practice for their whole lives. If I am afraid of difficulties and don't save people, how can this poor Taoist be worthy of the title of Divine Doctor? How can I face the hundreds of teachers and students on Yunshan? Quickly go and get the golden needles, don't delay Teacher Wen Ji's treatment! "
Hu actually looked at Sun Simiao, who had a haggard face and white hair but a resolute gaze. Endless respect grew in her heart. She knew that Sun Simiao could not be persuaded at this time, so she nodded and replied, "Yes, Master!"
After saying that, Hu turned around and left. Soon, she returned to the room with an exquisite wooden box in her hands. She handed it to Sun Simiao and said, "Master! Your golden needle! "
"Yes! How dare you leave first! Close the door and don't let anyone disturb us! "
Sun Simiao took the wooden box and instructed.
"… Yes! Master! "
Hu actually wanted to stay and help, but she had never practiced internal martial arts. Naturally, there was no True Qi in her body. Staying here would not help at all. It was better to go out and help Sun Simiao, because Sun Simiao could not be disturbed when he was performing acupuncture.
"Brother Wenji, hang in there! Little Xuan will be back soon! "
In the room, Sun Simiao looked at Li Gang, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and a haggard face. He sighed worriedly and said.
Only a few days had passed, but Li Gang looked as if he had aged a few years. It was said that illness came like a landslide. For the eighty-two-year-old Li Gang, this sudden accident was "burning" the last of his life force, and he could die at any time!
In fact, just looking at age, Sun Simiao was older than Li Gang by six years. However, Sun Simiao paid attention to health and had been practicing Taoist True Qi. Therefore, the quality of his body was much better than Li Gang's. The same injury on Li Gang might be fatal, but on Sun Simiao, it was estimated that he would be fine after two days of recuperation!
After sighing with emotion, Sun Simiao went forward to help Li Gang up. Half-lying on the bed, he removed his outer robe and took out the golden needles from the wooden box. With lightning speed, he pierced three golden needles into the Zhong Ting, Jie Wei, and Juque acupoints on Li Gang's chest. These three acupoints were close to the heart, and if the strength was wrong or the position was off, it would be fatal. Ordinary doctors would be extremely careful when piercing these three acupoints, but Sun Simiao pierced all three at the same time. His movements were as smooth as flowing water, without a trace of hesitation!
After the golden needles were pierced into the three acupoints, Sun Simiao did not stop. He used his right hand to twirl the golden needles on the Zhongting, Fengwei, and Juque acupoints. Traces of Taoist True Qi passed through the golden needles and slowly into Li Gang's body. Soon, the three golden needles began to vibrate together. Sun Simiao opened his palm and an even more majestic True Qi flowed from his palm into the golden needles. Then, through the golden needles, it was guided into Li Gang's heart meridian!
Sun Simiao's goal was very simple. He wanted to use his Taoist True Qi to "supply energy" to Li Gang's heart meridian, thereby reducing the consumption of Li Gang's life force. Li Gang's condition had reached such a stage that it was impossible to save him with the power of the medicinal stone. Because all medicine was 30% poisonous, any medicinal herb required the human body to use the liver, kidneys, and other organs to break it down in order for the medicine to work in the body. And all of this required energy to support it!
Li Gang was already at the end of his life. It was already difficult for him to maintain the basic activities of life. If he were to take any more medicine, it would undoubtedly speed up his death! Because he understood this, Sun Simiao temporarily gave up on using medicine and switched to the method of transferring Qi through the golden needles!
It was just that this method of transferring Qi through the golden needles consumed too much True Qi. In less than 15 minutes, Sun Simiao's forehead was full of sweat. But Sun Simiao did not have any intention of stopping. He was still transferring Qi through Li Gang with a serious face!
Gradually, as time passed, Sun Simiao's face became paler and paler. However, Li Gang's face gradually became rosy. After some time, Sun Simiao finally could not hold on any longer. He lost his balance and almost fell onto the bed. Luckily, Old Sun's hands and feet were still agile. He held onto the beam of the bed in time and steadied himself.
"Taoist Sun … Don't waste your energy! I know that my time is up. I can't drag you down with me! "
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Li Gang, who had been in a deep sleep all this time, opened his eyes and spoke softly.
"Brother Wen Ji, you're awake!"
Hearing Li Gang's voice, Sun Simiao finally heaved a sigh of relief. He stood up straight and looked at Li Gang with a face of joy and said, "Wen Ji, what you said is wrong! What do you mean by wasting my energy? Before I treat a patient, I will never care if that person can be saved or not. Because no matter what kind of patient it is, I will try my best to save them! Until the last moment, life or death is uncertain! "
Li Gang used all his strength to move the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Taoist Sun's medical ethics are noble and your medical skills are superb. Who doesn't know of this? Who doesn't know? But I am already at the age where I have one foot in the grave. If I die, so be it. Letting Taoist Sun waste his energy and affect the treatment of other patients is a huge sin! "
Sun Simiao sighed and said, "I only used up some True Qi. After resting for a few days, I will recover! But Wen Ji, you must hold on! Xiao Xuan received the news and is already on his way back! With his help, Wen Ji, there is hope that your illness can be controlled! "
Hearing this, Li Gang was shocked and said, "Yamachō is coming back? What about the Tujue State Preceptor? Have the secret scrolls of the academy been recovered? "
Sun Simiao replied, "Don't worry. The Tujue State Preceptor has already escaped back to the grasslands. All the secret scrolls of the academy have been recovered by Xiao Xuan. He is now rushing back to Yunshan! So, Brother Wen Ji, you must hold on! "
Hearing this, Li Gang's face suddenly flushed red. He smiled and said, "Good! Good! I must hold on until Yamachō comes back! "
Seeing this, Sun Simiao secretly cursed in his heart. At this time, Li Gang's face was flushed red. It was not a good thing because it was a bit like the final radiance of the setting sun!
When a person was on the verge of death, under the control of the cerebral cortex, it would quickly instruct the adrenal cortex and medulla to secrete glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, adrenaline, and norepinephrine. They could all stimulate the heart, constrict the blood vessels, and raise blood pressure. This would mobilize all the positive factors in the body, causing the patient to wake up from a coma. From being unable to speak to being able to speak, from not being able to eat to being able to eat and drink. These were all endocrine hormones under the command of the central nervous system.
The final radiance of the setting sun had certain benefits for the patient and his family. If the person the patient was anxious to see was still on the way, it could prolong the patient's life to fulfill his long-cherished wish. If the patient still had things to say, it could also prolong the patient's life for a period of time.
However, Terminal Lucidity mobilized the last bit of vitality and potential left in the patient's body to help the patient overcome the pain in a short period of time. Once this bit of vitality and potential was exhausted, there was nothing that could be done to save the patient!
"Brother Wen Ji, don't get too excited. Xiaoxuan came back from Longmen Pass. It's about five to six hundred miles in between. Even if he rode a fast horse, he would only reach Yunshan late at night at the earliest! Brother Wen Ji, you must hold on! "
Sun Simiao saw that Li Gang's face was getting redder and redder, so he hurriedly said.
He had to stop Li Gang from using up his remaining vitality. Otherwise, it was very likely that he would not be able to hold on until Li Zexuan came back!
"Longmen Pass!"
Sure enough, when he heard Sun Simiao say that Li Zexuan was still five to six hundred miles away, Li Gang's eyes instantly dimmed a lot, and the redness on his face gradually faded. Then he muttered, "Longmen County is a good place! If I remember correctly, Mr. Wang also came from Longmen Pass! I must wait until Yamachō comes back! "
Faith!
Sometimes, faith was a very magical thing. As long as there was a thought in one's heart, one would be able to persevere. Sun Simiao wanted to tell Li Gang about the time it would take for Li Zexuan to reach Yunshan. He wanted to instill in Li Gang's heart that he had to persevere until Li Zexuan came back!
Seeing that Li Gang had finally calmed down, Sun Simiao secretly heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Wen Ji, have a good rest first. I'll make some porridge for you to fill your stomach!"
"Thank you!"
Li Gang said weakly.
After Sun Simiao helped Li Gang lie back on the bed, he turned around and left the room.
At this moment, the sun outside had already moved to the southwest. It was about five in the afternoon. This healing process actually lasted for more than two hours!
"Master! Master! Are you okay? "
Hu Yao, who had been guarding outside the room, saw Sun Simiao walk out with a pale face. She quickly went up and supported Sun Simiao with a worried expression.
"I'm fine! I just need to rest! "
Sun Simiao waved his hand, then turned to look at Hu Yao and said, "Yao, I'll give you a prescription. Quickly go and get the herbs according to the prescription. There can't be any mistakes!"
"Prescription? Get the herbs? "
Hu Yao heard this and her eyes widened. She said with a shocked expression, "Master, are you planning to use medicine on Teacher Wen Ji? But Teacher Wen Ji's body is so weak now. How can he withstand the medicinal properties of various herbs? "
Hu Yao was respectfully called "Little Fairy Doctor" by many people. She still had this bit of medical knowledge. Even if Sun Simiao did not say it, she knew that with Sun Simiao's current body, he would not be able to withstand the power of the medicinal stone no matter what!
Sun Simiao sighed deeply and said, "Teacher Wen Ji faintly showed signs of terminal lucidity just now, but I suppressed it. The speed of his deterioration is more serious than I thought! Now, even if Xiao Xuan and Daoist Xuan Qing came to help, they might not be able to completely cure Wen Ji! So, the only thing we can do now is to take a risk! "
"Master! Why do we take a risk? "
Hu Yao asked curiously.
Sun Simiao paused for a moment and opened his mouth to explain, "Wen Ji is now completely relying on his will to support himself. Once Xiao Xuan returns, this will dissipate and Wen Ji will also show signs of terminal lucidity! At this time, the functions of all the organs in his body will be normal. Although after this short period of normalcy, he will exhaust his life force and die, I can take advantage of this period of time when Wen Ji's body is normal to let the medicine enter his body and extend the time of terminal lucidity through the golden needle!
As long as the medicine can take effect during this period of time, it can cure the symptoms and cure the root cause, fundamentally saving Teacher Wen Ji's life! And this terminal lucidity will become a revival from the dead! "
