Chapter 994 Resurrection Needle
The stems of common green radish look quite similar to the spinach that ordinary people usually eat. They have simple branches and leaves, green stems, and green leaves. As long as they are supplemented with a certain amount of water in time and can also guarantee their minimum nutrients, they will generally grow very lush. Planting some at home and outside can adjust the balance between carbon dioxide and plant oxygen. It has always been a good choice for indoor potted plants.
Seeing that the three gentlemen were a little stunned, Bian Mu smiled and took out another large-sized steel needle from the needle box. Looking at its appearance, it was almost exactly the same as the long needle inserted into the stem of the green radish.
"Anyway, it will take a while to wake up the needle. Let's talk about some interesting things about acupuncture. Please pass it around and see what is special about this acupuncture steel needle." As he spoke, Bian Mu stood up and walked to the wheelchair, handing the long needle in his hand to the patient surnamed Wu.
The male patient surnamed Wu lowered his head and looked carefully for a long time, but he didn't seem to see anything special. He wore a pair of high-end gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, which looked like myopia glasses. Maybe his vision was limited, and he was still a little out of spirit. Even if he raised his head to the sun and looked carefully for a few times, he seemed to find nothing in the end.
After reading it, the male patient surnamed Wu handed it to his brother.
Mr. Wu's brother didn't wear glasses, so his eyesight should be good. He took the steel needle and raised it above his head, constantly changing his perspective. He observed it very seriously...
After a while, Mr. Wu's brother didn't say anything, and handed the long needle to the accompanying friend.
Mr. Wu's friend didn't wear glasses either. He imitated the Wu brothers and looked carefully for a while and found something.
"There is a dark hole at the tip of the needle, and there are also a few small holes in the middle of the needle shaft. There are even more small holes on the needle handle, Doctor Bian! Am I right?" The accompanying friend said with a smile.
"Good eyesight! This is a special needle for training. Unless in special circumstances, we will not use it on patients in most cases. Moreover, Chinese medicine doctors' acupuncture skills do not reach a certain level. No one dares to use this kind of needle on patients, unless the acupuncture points are special and the basic safety is absolutely guaranteed. Usually, we use this kind of acupuncture needle to experience techniques such as "getting qi", "smoothing qi", "regulating qi", "dispersing qi", "gathering qi", "sending qi", "relieving qi"... Because this kind of acupuncture needle is made with extremely tiny holes, ordinary people can't see it at all without careful observation. In most cases, it is not easy for us to practice on ourselves. At this time, plants like green radish, tiger skin orchid, cactus... have become our model objects for training. Therefore, just now, when the needle went down, the stem and leaves became drooping." Bian Mu explained with a smile.
Upon hearing this, "Wow! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it even if I was beaten to death. When the needle went down, the branches and leaves immediately drooped!" The younger brother of the patient surnamed Wu exclaimed a few words.
"Please pay attention!" With a slight smile, Bian Mu stretched out his right hand to take the long needle from Mr. Wu's friend, and used his left hand to remove the needle, and assisted with the needle in his right hand. The long needle was removed smoothly. Mr. Wu and the other three saw clearly that there was only a small needle hole left on the stem of the green radish. Once the needle was removed, the "wound" position began to heal rapidly.
The three gentlemen watched Bian Mu select five thin needles from the same needle box and clamp them between the fingers of his right hand. It was just a pot of green radish, so there was no need to talk about disinfection. Bian Mu showed five different needle insertion techniques at once, such as flicking needles, straight needles, twisting needles... Five acupuncture needles. His skillful techniques, elegant movements, and accurate identification of "acupoints" were amazing.
Bian Mu did not speak, and quietly looked at the pot of green radish. After about three minutes, the "injured" stem that had just drooped its head gradually straightened up, and the huge leaf surface slowly recovered some vitality.
It was amazing!
Bian Mu stood up and carried the pot of green radish to the window sill and put it back in place.
After returning to his chair and sitting down again, Bian Mu smiled and explained: "This acupuncture method is called 'Resurrection Needle'. The acupuncture method that made the green radish 'sick' just now is called 'Disease Inducing Needle' in the industry. The purpose is to amplify the patient's condition. Of course, there is a premise that the patient's symptoms are not too severe. If it is a serious patient, most colleagues dare not use this acupuncture method easily. If the guy does not operate it properly, it may cause death. Anyway, it is not time for the awakening needle yet, so I will explain the medical theory to the three of you clearly. If it is convenient, please help us to correct our reputation in the future, so that some people will not maliciously slander our traditional Chinese medicine. I wonder if you three have ever raised green radish?"
The male patient surnamed Wu shook his head gently. He has been divorced for many years. He is busy with work all day long, and his daughter is also very busy with her studies. He really doesn't have much time to fiddle with flowers and plants.
"I have quite a few at home. We just moved into our new house not long ago. I heard that this stuff is helpful in eliminating formaldehyde. My wife has put them all over the house. Some are growing well, and some are yellow. Compared with yours, our green ivy is almost like grass." Mr. Wu's friend responded with a smile.
As soon as this was said, the four people couldn't help but laugh knowingly. For a moment, the atmosphere in the lobby on the first floor suddenly became much more relaxed.
Mr. Wu's younger brother spoke last.
"I have quite a few at home. Someone told me to grow green ivy and tiger skin together. Although the quality is not as good as the flowers and plants here, they are growing well. My wife's work load is very heavy. Once she gets home, she has to work from home and can't take care of it! I usually take care of it!"
"Really? You really look like a model husband! Then you should be quite knowledgeable. May I ask, what is the most taboo in cultivating green radish?" Bian Mu asked with a smile.
"I am also talking nonsense! The most taboo should be "water accumulation and suffocation of roots"!" Mr. Wu's brother responded with a smile.
"That's right! Moreover, green radish is a plant that likes negative sunlight, which is what we usually say to avoid direct sunlight. They like scattered sunlight the most, and half-shade and half-sun are the best. Therefore, the acupuncture techniques I used just now are all "negative needles". Please go back and experience this point. In other words, we divide acupuncture into yin and yang. When patients come in, according to their different symptoms, if acupuncture is most effective, we will first consider determining yang and yin when formulating specific plans. By the way, Mr. Wu, have you noticed that if you place green radish on the top of the cabinet or the top of the bookshelf, they will grow more luxuriantly, and they can easily divide many vines with branches and vines." Bian Mu explained with a smile.
"Yes, yes! Ventilation is good!" Mr. Wu's brother answered.
"Yes! That's what I want, ventilation! Ventilation means smoothing the air. In this respect, the green radish is exactly the same as each of us in terms of the basic principle of the operation of the qi mechanism. It has 'qi eyes'. In a broad sense, the 'qi eyes' distributed on the surface of the green radish are roughly similar to the acupuncture points distributed around our body. Therefore, I can use needles to make it suffocate and collapse, and I can also use needles to revive it. It all depends on whether the qi path is accessible." After explaining this, Bian Mu smiled.
Mr. Wu and the other three have all received formal higher education, and they naturally understood it when they heard it.
"As for me, my level is limited. I use the most common acupuncture needles, that is, the needles without pores. If I block the green radish's qi path, it may take several hours to see the effect. Therefore, in order to save time, I used a practice needle to simulate it. You three just need to understand the principle." Bian Mu explained with a smile.
The three of them nodded frequently and suddenly realized it.
