From the three hundred and sixty professions, from high-ranking officials and wealthy merchants to flower girls and pimps, there were disputes between all professions. Doctors were no exception. If there was a dispute, there was a way to resolve it. In the imperial court, it was a battle of words and schemes. Fighting until one side resigned from the position of an official was the way officials resolved disputes. In the market, dumping goods, raising the price, selling them cheaply until the other side went bankrupt was how merchants resolved disputes. In alleys and alleys, when there was no one around at night, red knives would go in and white knives would come out. This was how gangsters resolved disputes. In the profession of doctors, there was an unspoken and unspoken way to resolve disputes. That was the "needle fight." The so-called needle fight was when two doctors would first take drugs of conflicting properties and sit facing each other. In the middle, there would be a few tables with thirty-six silver needles on each table. The two doctors would grab the needles on the tables. Each hand could hold at most one needle, and they could stab the other person's acupoints or themselves. However, they could not block, dodge, or pull out the needles. The twenty needles were used up. The first to use acupuncture techniques to detonate the conflicting properties of the medicine in the other person's body so that the other person could no longer pick up the needle would be the winner. The meridians of the human body were very complicated, and using needles to stab each other was extremely dangerous. Thus, unless there was a deep hatred or a need to compete, very few doctors would use the "needle fight" method. But today, a pair of father and daughter sat facing each other in a "needle fight" because of the difference in ideals. Chu Song arranged the silver needles in a row on the table and said to Chu Bainiu, "Father, you and I are both immune to all diseases. There's no point in taking the conflicting medicines first. Let's skip the step of taking the medicine. What do you think, father?" Chu Bainiu nodded. "As you wish. With my acupuncture techniques, I can make it so that you can no longer pick up a needle. There's no need to use medicine." As he spoke, Chu Bainiu placed the thirty-six silver needles on the table.
Chu Song said crisply, "Okay, father, when you lose, don't complain!"
Chu Bainiu snorted in disdain. "Lose to you? What a joke. Who taught you how to use needles? I'll let you go first. When you're ready, you can start at any time! "" Alright, I won't hold back! " Chu Song understood the principle of striking first. As she spoke, her jade-like hand drew an arc in the air. Like moving clouds and flowing water, she picked up a needle from the table and stabbed it at Chu Bainiu's Shoulder Well. The "Warp and Weft Needle Technique" passed down in Chu Song's family could be said to be the most brilliant needle technique in the world. It included many techniques of needle techniques, and Chu Song had been immersed in needle techniques for many years. With a needle in her hand, to her, it was like a tool cultivator controlling a ritual implement that she had practiced since she was young. It could be described as being like an extension of her arm. However, when the needle was half an inch away from Chu Bainiu's acupoint, Chu Song suddenly felt his arm sink. The needle had missed its target by thirty percent and pierced the acupoint on his shoulder. "So fast!" Chu Song was shocked. The essence of the Warp and Weft Technique lay in its stability, accuracy, lightness, and speed. After practicing the Warp and Weft Technique for three years, she was able to carve words on the wings of a flying fly without affecting its flight. It was impossible for her hand to have slipped just now. Instead, Chu Bainiu had moved faster and arrived first. Although Chu Bainiu had let Chu Song move first, he was still faster than her by half an instant. He had pierced Chu Song's Tianjing acupoint first. The Tianjing acupoint was located on the Hand's Minor Yang Sanjiao Meridian. Once it was pierced, Chu Song's right hand immediately became numb and powerless. Chu Song did not dare to stop. She took out another needle with her left hand and pierced her own Jiquan acupoint. The Jiquan acupoint was located on the Hand's Minor Yin Heart Meridian, and it formed a yin and yang force with the Hand's Minor Yang Sanjiao Meridian. With one needle, the yin and yang were balanced. Chu Song's right hand no longer felt heavy. She immediately reached out with both hands, picking up the needle and preparing to counterattack.
However, she heard Chu Bainiu say, "I knew you would pierce the Jiquan acupoint." Chu Bainiu's fingers moved like lightning. With a flash of silver light, he had already pierced two needles into Chu Song's body.
Chu Song was immediately overjoyed. She giggled, her body rocking back and forth as if she had encountered the most joyous event in the world. However, her heart was full of bitterness. "Tianjing, Jiquan, Yangchi, Qimen, these four acupoints at the same time can make people laugh until their jaws are dislocated. Father, you are so cruel!"
The study of meridians was broad and profound. The combination of several acupoints could often produce different effects. Fighting with needles was like playing a game. Not only did it have to be fast and accurate, one also had to think about how to use the opponent's needles for their own use. Chu Song's method of undoing needles was used by Chu Bainiu. She had lost again.
Chu Song could not stop laughing. She could barely hold a needle. Left with no choice, Chu Song could only pierce the Renying acupoint on her chin to temporarily stop laughing.
However, once she was at a disadvantage, she was restricted in all aspects. Chu Bainiu had the upper hand and did not show mercy. He continuously pierced the acupoints all over Chu Song's body. Sometimes Chu Song would cry bitterly, sometimes her limbs would twitch, and sometimes she would feel dizzy. She could only try to remove the abnormalities in her body. She was exhausted and could not fight back. After fighting for a while, most of the needles had landed on Chu Song. Chu Bainiu only had a few on him.
Almost half of the thirty-six needles had been used. Chu Bainiu slowly increased his advantage. Finally, he was about to win with one needle. "Stupid girl, you've lost!" Chu Bainiu pierced her Guanchong acupoint.
When the needle landed, Chu Song immediately cried out in alarm, "Not good!" If one continued to use chess as a metaphor, then Chu Bainiu's plan was complete. He had entered the final stage. All the needles had been connected to form a "formation" that could lock qi and blood. He only needed to pierce the Yintang acupoint on the top of her head to fill in the holes for the formation. Then, she would not be able to move.
Chu Song could think of a solution that required at least four needles, but Chu Bainiu only needed one to win. Moreover, Chu Bainiu's hand speed was faster than Chu Song's. The outcome could be said to be clear at a glance.
But just as Chu Bainiu was about to insert the last needle, he saw Chu Song grit her teeth and pierce her own Baihui acupoint.
In the next moment, Chu Song's face turned ashen. She spat out a mouthful of blood!
"Stupid girl, do you want to die?" Chu Bainiu paled. The last needle in the Yintang acupoint could lock Chu Song's qi and blood, but if it was in the Baihui acupoint, it would cause Chu Song's qi and blood to flow in reverse. That would be fatal!
With Chu Song's medical skills, she naturally did not know this. She knew the result but still wanted to do it. Her intentions were obvious.
Chu Bainiu cherished his daughter's life. Seeing her like this, he did not care about the needles. He quickly inserted two needles to help Chu Song's qi and blood flow.
After the two needles, the effect was immediate. Color returned to Chu Song's face. But because of this, the "formation" Chu Bainiu had set up was completely disrupted.
