Chapter 119 Master-Apprentice Agreement

Originally, Fan Wubing was too lazy to talk to the old man, how could he have the time in the United States to study acupuncture? Besides, given my current situation, what if I learned the art of acupuncture and moxibustion? Do you still want to go to Xuanhu to help the world?

So Fan Wubing shook his head, and said to the old man, "I've always been kind and soft-hearted. I would blame myself for several days if I trampled an ant to death. I'm afraid I don't have the courage to stab someone. If one comes at any rate, it’s not just asking for trouble for yourself.”

Although Fan Wubing did not reject traditional Chinese medicine, and also had some understanding of the magic of acupuncture and moxibustion, he felt a little timid when he thought of inserting long silver needles into other people's bodies. In order to practice kung fu, he has systematically understood the theory of meridians and collaterals of the human body, and has also seriously studied the theory of yin and yang and five elements for a while. .

Seeing that Fan Wubing was unwilling to learn acupuncture from himself, the old man couldn't help feeling a little regretful, "You have all your skills, it's a waste not to study medicine. Many problems that are difficult for us to solve can be solved in your hands." It is easy to resolve. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, and you are not yet twenty years old. If you study medicine, think about how much merit you can accumulate in this life?"

Mentioning the word merit, Fan Wubing was about to curl his lips and laugh it off, but suddenly thought of his own rebirth, he couldn't help but shut his mouth in embarrassment, thinking that this is really a bit strange, or something Is there really a master among them?

How could Fan Wubing's expression change be hidden from the old doctor? As a doctor, the four basic skills of seeing, hearing, asking, and cutting must be mastered. The means of observing words and expressions are not inferior to those of people, so he said. "If you don't overwhelm yourself with art, there is no guarantee that it will be useful at any time."

Fan Wubing was a little hesitant, seeing that the old man really had some skills, but acupuncture is not something that can be learned in a short while, do you really want to waste time on it? But when he turned his head and saw Fengping. Seeing her looking at him pitifully, but not speaking, although Feng Mao is not as eager as his sister Feng Ping, but there is always some hope.

As a result, Fan Wubing couldn't bear to refuse the old man's proposal, so he asked, "Can I learn it within a month? I want to only do acupuncture for Feng Mao's injuries, and nothing else. Stop studying."

The old man thought in his heart that you are a snobbish little guy, don't you learn useless things? But he naturally has a way to deal with Fan Wubing. Then he smiled and said, "Hehe, acupuncture is not very complicated, and a smart person can learn it in half a month. The Buddha only enlightened for seven days. For an outstanding talent like you, three days is probably enough!"

Fan Wubing blushed suddenly, thinking that the old man was just kidding himself.

"Ahem—" Fan Wubing asked after coughing. "This, do you need a teacher?"

The old man looked at Fan Wubing carefully for a while and then smiled,

"Well, it doesn't matter whether you say goodbye or not. It depends on whether you want to or not. The formal things are all empty. I don't pay much attention to them."

Fan Wubing and the old man were scheming with each other here, but the dean accompanying him over there was a little bit scratching his head. Hearing that Fan Wubing didn't want to be a teacher, he almost rushed forward to study for him.

It turned out that this old Chinese doctor was not a doctor at the People's Hospital of Panshi City, but an expert passing by. It's only been three days since he was invited to have a diagnosis and treatment here. As for his name, he is quite famous in the whole Chinese medicine circle.

Waiting for a doctor, if he can get a little advice from him, he will benefit a lot, not to mention being able to teach it in person. Some of the old man's personal disciples are mostly senior experts in major hospitals at this time. In recent decades, he has stopped teaching apprentices, and today he wants to open the mountain gate again for the first time. But I met Fan Wubing, a guy who didn't know the depth. What an embarrassing sigh!

But the dean also knew Fan Wubing's identity, and knew that he was Fan Heng's son. There is no need to worry about these livelihood matters at all, and there are gossip that this Mr. Fan is very good at making money, his hands and eyes are as good as the sky, and he is better than his father, Mayor Fan Heng. Naturally, he doesn't like the effort of practicing medicine. It's an unpleasant thing, so there is no hard persuasion.

If it had been someone else, the dean would have rushed up and pinned his head, forcing him to pay respects to his teacher.

"Okay then—" Fan Wubing said after thinking for a while, "I don't know your details, and you don't know my qualifications either. Both of us are blind, so we don't rush to learn from our teachers first. Forget it, so that I won’t find out that you are an academic liar and want to fight, but I’m afraid of deceiving my ancestors, and I’ll save you from finding out that my qualifications are too poor, stupid and clumsy, so I want to go back on my word. Let’s have a probationary period. Within a week, If we are both satisfied, how about doing the apprentice ceremony?"

After hearing Fan Wubing's suggestion, the old man smiled and said, "That's kind of interesting, it's all up to you."

The dean listened to the agreement between the two, and suddenly heaved a sigh of relief. It seems that the old man has a very good opinion of Fan Wubing. If Fan Wubing can inherit the mantle of the old man, it will be very important to the entire acupuncture and moxibustion community. But it is also a great thing.

Seeing that Fan Wubing made an appointment with the old man to study, the director immediately arranged a room in the hospital for them to study for these few days, and arranged several acupuncturists to be assistants to the old man. I wanted to learn some medical skills from the old man.

The old man said to Fan Wubing, "It just so happens that this kid has been poisoned by the water snake, and it has been a long time. If you want to open up the meridians and recover your actions, you must start with the meridian channels of the whole body, but it can be used as your experimental product. It's also God's will."

When Feng Mao heard this, he was a little startled. It was still unknown whether his legs could move, so he had to be used as an experimental product for Fan Wubing first. This was a bit tangled, God knows if he would Tie yourself up like a hedgehog?

When Feng Ping heard this, she was also a little worried, "Old man, isn't it a little unreliable to ask him to give the needle?"

The old man smiled and said, "If you let him get the needle, your brother will be able to return to a normal person completely. If you let me get the needle, at best your brother will get rid of the wheelchair and put on crutches. You have to think about what kind of result you want." Clear!"

After hearing the old man's explanation, Feng Ping hesitated in her heart. Seeing what the old man meant, she was determined to use her younger brother as Fan Wubing's experimental product, but since he dared to say such a thing, he probably had some doubts. I had no choice but to be patient, in order for my younger brother to return to a normal person, I just need to let him be patient, so I looked at Fengmao, gritted my teeth and said to him, "Then you have to be patient, think about it, and you can move freely in the future. A little bit of pain for a while, it's like the underground party has been caught by the enemy!"

"I haven't done anything yet, you siblings treat me like a devil?" Fan Wubing immediately said depressedly.

"I don't think you're a devil, at most you're just a military spy." Feng Ping comforted.

"Fuck! You might as well treat me as a devil!" Fan Wubing shouted.

The old man smiled and said, "Since I've come today, I can't waste it. You should learn some basic massage techniques from me first."

"Aren't you learning acupuncture? What does it have to do with massage?" Fan Wubing suddenly asked curiously. Whenever massage is mentioned, he always thinks of those blind masseuses. It feels a little weird.

The old man saw what Fan Wubing was thinking, and explained, "Massage and acupuncture are two-pronged approach. Some patients have old diseases. Acupuncture was used at the beginning. The effect is not very good. First, let their blood flow activate." , the effect of acupuncture can be the best, and the patient’s needling sensation will be stronger.”

Then he fiddled with Fengmao's legs, and said to Fan Wubing, "Like this kid's legs, now you prick his acupoints with silver needles, he basically doesn't feel anything, the patient doesn't feel needles, It will have a certain impact on our treatment, and we cannot adjust the treatment strategy at any time, and the effect will be checked a lot.”

"Oh, it really makes sense." When the old man said this, Fan Wubing felt that it was justified, so he didn't say anything else.

The old man squeezed Fengmao's legs immediately, and then slowed down his movements to let Fan Wubing observe carefully, starting from the top of Fengmao's head, passing through the cervical spine, spine, and tailbone, until he pressed down on the soles of his feet. Quan, the positions that he passed along the way were pressed one by one, and his hands kept changing positions, pointing, pinching, beating, rubbing, or pressing, with a variety of tricks, and the doctors watching around were fascinated. drunk.

After one pass, the old man wiped the beads of sweat from his head, and said with a smile, "After all, people are old and their muscles and bones are much weaker. Now I can demonstrate it to you, so I dare not teach my apprentices all these years." , it’s not that the old man is lazy, but he’s afraid of making the wrong person, and the harm will be great.” After finishing speaking, the old man asked Fan Wubing to massage Feng Mao twice from the beginning to the end according to his own method. , Observe whether he has learned all the techniques he demonstrated just now.
