Liu Qigong thought to himself, "With Qin Haodong, no matter what kind of treasure it is, I don't need to go to the stall. I can make it in the kitchen at home."
This time, time passed faster. Only three or four minutes later, Qin Haodong came in from the outside with a painting scroll.
Back on the stage, he spread the painting scroll on the table and said to Li Mintae, "Professor Li, take a look. This is the receipt that Koryo borrowed from Huaxia. Do you want to invite Professor Choi to come up and check it?"
"This …"
Li Mintae looked at the receipt on the table. The scroll looked very simple. It was exactly the same as the one just now, but the content had been changed. The borrowing of the Compendium of Materia Medica was replaced by the borrowing of the Acupuncture Bronze Statue, which was still stamped with the king's seal.
He really couldn't figure out where this receipt came from. If it was fake, even he wouldn't believe it. Could Qin Haodong have foresight and make a fake one in advance to wait for him here?
Although he knew that there was a kind of person who was good at counterfeiting antiques, it would take at least a few days or even a few months to make an antique. It was impossible to make a fake antique in a few minutes.
In addition, Choi Hongseong was famous for his stubbornness and integrity, and his antique appraisal level was also one of the best. How could he deceive his eyes?
Now that the receipt was in front of him, he didn't have time to think about it. But this time, he naturally couldn't easily return the acupuncture bronze statue.
"There's no need to appraise it."
He directly skipped the appraisal process.
Qin Haodong said with a smile, "Since Professor Li thinks this receipt is real, shouldn't you return the acupuncture bronze statue to us?"
Li Mintae's heart twitched. He had taken out a treasure, but Qin Haodong wanted to take it back with the receipt, which made him so depressed that he had the urge to vomit blood.
This time, of course, he wouldn't easily return the acupuncture bronze statue. He said, "Even if your receipt is real, it can't prove that it's our Li family's acupuncture bronze statue that you borrowed. "Of course, if I don't return it, you will definitely be unwilling and think that I'm denying it.
"Let's do it this way. Today, I will challenge Huaxia traditional Chinese medicine with the Acupuncture Bronze Statue. As long as the people of Shanghai Medical College can surpass our Koryo Medical College in using the Acupuncture Bronze Statue, I will return it to you.
If you can't win, how can you claim that this thing belongs to you? It can only mean that it belongs to our Li Family. At the same time, it also proves that your Chinese medical skills are inferior to our TKM. "
Su Hongbo asked, "How do you want to compete?"
Li Mintae said, "This acupuncture statue has 354 acupuncture points. We'll use silver needles to pierce the acupuncture points. Let's see who can finish it in the shortest time."
Su Hongbo couldn't help frowning. Li Mintae's method of competition sounded extremely fair, but in fact, it contained his thoughts.
This acupuncture statue had been placed in the Li family for many years, and they had practiced it countless times. Naturally, they were very familiar with it.
On the other hand, in Huaxia, as the place where the Acupuncture Bronze Statue was produced, no one had even touched the Acupuncture Bronze Statue. The few replicas were also placed in the museum. Naturally, they were very unfamiliar with how to use them, so they were at a disadvantage.
But if they didn't compete, not only would they agree with Li Mintae's words, but they would also weaken the momentum of Huaxia traditional Chinese medicine. They didn't even dare to accept a competition. How could they say that Koryo medicine originated from Huaxia?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Qin Haodong.
In this kind of competition, he and Fang Helun were old and their bodies were not flexible enough. Naturally, they couldn't compete in speed. They could only rely on these young people, and Qin Haodong was his biggest reliance.
Qin Haodong smiled and nodded at him. This kind of competition was extremely difficult for others, but it was not worth mentioning for him at all.
Although he had never touched the Acupuncture Bronze Statue, he had already figured out the structure of the Acupuncture Bronze Statue with the powerful perception of his Spirit. Even if others practiced thousands of times on this Acupuncture Bronze Statue, they would not be able to reach his level.
Seeing that he was full of confidence, Su Hongbo immediately felt confident. He turned his head and said to Li Mintae, "Okay, we'll take it. If you lose, remember to send the acupuncture statue back."
"Don't worry." A sly smile appeared on Li Mintae's face. "If we lose, we'll return the acupuncture statue. But what if you lose? Do you have to take out some stakes to be fair? "
Su Hongbo said, "What do you want to bet?"
Li Mintae said, "Other things can't be compared with the acupuncture statue at all. Let's bet on the Compendium of Materia Medica just now. How about it? Do you dare? "
"This …"
Su Hongbo's expression suddenly changed. If it was something else, he would dare to agree, but the Compendium of Materia Medica was too important to Huaxia.
This treasure had just been taken back by Qin Haodong. If he lost it again, he was afraid that he would become the sinner of the whole Huaxia and the sinner of traditional Chinese medicine.
Li Mintae said with a sinister smile, "What's wrong? Professor Su, don't you dare?
Didn't you just say that traditional Chinese medicine came from Huaxia, acupuncture came from Huaxia, and the acupuncture statue came from Huaxia? Now you don't even dare to compete with the acupuncture statue. How dare you say that? "
Seeing his conditions, the audience present were all filled with righteous indignation and shouted together,
"Let's bet. We'll bet with him."
"Huaxia traditional Chinese medicine is the best in the world. There's no need to be afraid of Koryo medicine …"
"The acupuncture statue is ours. We must let it return to Huaxia …"
At this time, the live broadcast on the Internet was also becoming more and more popular. More and more people gathered in front of the monitor and began to cheer for traditional Chinese medicine.
The more it was like this, the more pressure Su Hongbo felt. Qin Haodong saw his dilemma and said, "No problem. We'll bet with you."
Li Mintae said, "You're just a student. Can you represent Shanghai Medical College? Can you represent Huaxia? "
Su Hongbo took a deep breath, calmed his excited mind, and said, "Yes, Qin Haodong's meaning is my meaning, as well as the meaning of our Huaxia traditional Chinese medicine. We'll bet with you."
"If you win, you can take away the original copy of the Compendium of Materia Medica. If you lose, you leave the acupuncture statue."
"Well, it's a deal." Li Mintae seemed to have been prepared. He took out a stopwatch from his pocket and handed it to Alice. "President Alice, please be a witness for us and be a referee."
"Okay, it's a great honor." Alice was very excited. The bronze statue full of holes had aroused her interest. "I've long heard that acupuncture is very magical. Today, I can finally see it."
Li Mintae introduced the rules of the competition to her in detail, explaining what it meant to have mercury in the needle. Then the competition officially began. The first to appear was Li Joongki from Koryo.
As the son of Li Mintae, he was known as the Little Medical Sage in Koryo. He had practiced on this acupuncture statue countless times. He was extremely confident in this competition, so he was the first to rush up to show his strength.
Li Joongki came to the acupuncture statue and took out a four-inch-long needle from the needle bag. Then he took a deep breath and got rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind. Then he held the silver needle upside down on his fingertips. He held the needle with his right thumb, index finger and middle finger in a steady style.
As the notary and referee, Alice stood next to the acupuncture statue. When Li Joongki signaled that she was ready, she shouted, "Start!" At the same time, she pressed the timer in her hand.
Before that, all the muscles in Li Joongki's body were tense. After hearing the shout, he immediately pounced on the acupuncture statue like an agile leopard.
He moved like lightning, and the four-inch-long needle in his right hand pierced an acupoint of the acupuncture statue. This needle was not only fast, but also moderate.
After the needle was pierced, he didn't even look at it. He picked up the needle and pierced the next acupoint again. After he pulled out the silver needle, a thin stream of mercury flowed out of the acupoint.
Next, Lee Joongki moved the needles like the wind, and his movements were swift. His footsteps were like butterflies arranging flowers, both beautiful and fast. The four-inch big needle in his hand seemed to have grown eyes. Every needle was accurately inserted into the acupoints. Not a single needle hit the wall, nor did it miss.
When he finished the competition and stood aside, mercury flowed out of all 354 acupoints on the acupuncture statue.
Alice shouted to stop, looked at the stopwatch in her hand, and said to the crowd, "Mr. Li Joongki's time is 120 seconds!"
The audience present burst into an uproar. They were all medical students, so they knew how fast acupuncture was. No one expected Li Joongki to be so fast.
He pierced 354 acupoints in 120 seconds, which was almost three needles per second. His speed was extremely fast.
Although many people hated the provocative behavior of the Koreans, many people couldn't help applauding for his wonderful performance.
Li Joongki put away the silver needles with a proud face. He glanced at Qin Haodong next to him and sneered, "Not everyone can be called Medical Sage. You have to have real skills. If you can't do what I did, you don't deserve this title at all."
His father, Li Mintae, was called the Medical Sage, and he was called the Little Medical Sage. Qin Haodong was also called the Medical Sage, which made him extremely dissatisfied. It seemed that he was a generation younger than him, so he took the initiative to provoke him.
Qin Haodong just smiled at his provocation and didn't even pay attention to him. Not to mention Li Joongki, he didn't even take Li Mintae seriously.
Li Joongki suddenly felt that he had punched the air, and he felt very uncomfortable. He turned around and shouted to Su Hongbo and the others, "I'm done. Now it's your turn."
Su Hongbo frowned and whispered to Fang Helun, who was next to him, "I didn't expect that this guy from Koryo has some skills. He can practice the acupuncture statue to this level."
These two people were the masters of the School of Chinese Medicine. In contrast, Fang Helun's acupuncture skills were better. He stood up and said, "I'll give it a try!"
Su Hongbo said, "Why don't we let the young people have a try?"
"No, I don't believe that I will lose to them!"
After Fang Helun said that, he stubbornly walked toward the acupuncture statue.
