Chapter 367: Zhou Yi References

That night, the Su family invited the old Dr. Chen to their home.

“Neixi?”

The old Dr. Chen was stunned upon hearing the word.

“Yes. Dr. Wang said so.”

Song Ruiping was still worried about the so-called neixi in her daughter’s body, so she invited the old Dr. Chen over.

“Do you know about this?”

“How could I not know? Don’t novels and movies have it?” the old man replied with a smile.

“I’m not talking about that.”

“I know. Actually, this thing really exists,” the old Dr. Chen answered after pondering for a while.

“It exists? Have you seen it before?”

“Yes.”

“What’s the function of neixi?”

“It depends on the type. Some can increase your strength, whereas some can improve your body’s immunity system. However, some are harmful,” the old Dr. Chen explained.

“It’s harmful as well?”

“Yes. I heard it from a quack doctor in the pugilistic world when I was in Ji Province a few years ago. I met an old man after that too. He was 62 years old back then. He was very skinny, but he could walk briskly. I saw it with my own eyes. He could split a huge rock open with his palm. It wasn’t a variety show. It was real Kung Fu. He was a person with neigong,” the old Dr. Chen explained.

“Oh. What about the one in Xiaoxue’s body?”

“I’ve also felt that she has a unique Qi energy in her body, but I didn’t expect it to be such a thing. What did he say?”

“He said it’s beneficial.”

“Well, it won’t be bad, but how could there be neixi in Xiaoxue’s body?” the old Dr. Chen asked curiously.

“I’m not sure about this too. Dr. Wang didn’t mention anything about it. I’ve asked Xiaoxue. She likes Taoist scriptures and she likes to listen to them when she’s free. Then, this thing appeared in her body.”

Sss?!

The old Dr. Chen took a deep breath upon hearing this.

This is really a great blessing!

Things in legends, such as neixi, was something that came with luck and not by searching. It could not be obtained through hard work. It was definitely a blessing to have found neixi through the reactions produced within the body just by listening to a few Taoist scriptures.

“It seems like God also thinks that she has suffered too much over these years, so He wants to take care of her,” the old Dr. Chen said with a smile. “Oh right, did Dr. Wang use any medication on her today?”

“Umm, not today.”

“He didn’t? That’s weird!” the old Dr. Chen responded with doubt.

“What’s wrong?”

“When I checked Xiaoxue’s pulse just now, I discovered that her condition was significantly better. I thought that Dr. Wang had used some of his miraculous medicine on Xiaoxue. How did he treat it without medication?”

“Umm, I’m not too sure about this either.” Song Ruiping held her words back.

It was still better for less people to know things that she had yet to understand.

“Oh right, how long is he planning on staying here this time?”

“About a week.”

“A week. Okay.”

Song Ruiping was finally reassured after the old Dr. Chen’s examination and rhetoric.

It’s fine as long as there’s no harm.

Deep inside her heart, she hoped that Wang Yao’s visit to Jing City this time would be able to improve her daughter’s condition even more, and at least make it so she was able to stand up. Of course, this was the best result at this time. It could eventually develop towards something even better.

Early in the morning, the quality of the air in Jing City was not particularly good. After living in Jing City for some time, some people would very easily feel that their throats were dry and they were even awakened by the dry air. This happened due to the dryness and pollution of the air.

It was comparatively a little better in the small courtyard. After all, some trees were planted here.

Chen Ying got up very early. Wang Yao was already awake by the time that she woke up. He was practicing Chinese boxing in the courtyard. It was not a dynamic exercise, but a unique stance. She had never seen this posture before.

She just watched from the side and did not disturb him.

Wang Yao stood in the courtyard silently.

He stood for more than an hour.

He finished his practice as Chen Ying had prepared breakfast in the kitchen.

“Dr. Wang, what Kung Fu did you practice just now?” Chen Ying asked somewhat curiously.

“Kung Fu?” Wang Yao was startled.

“Yeah? Isn’t it Kung Fu?”

“Oh. It’s considered a form of Kung Fu as well, I suppose. I was inducing Qi.”

“Inducing Qi?”

Wang Yao smiled while nodding his head. In fact, he was communicating with the heaven and earth just now through his neixi.

“How’s the arrangement for your brother’s matter?”

“I’m communicating with the place. There’ll be an answer this afternoon.”

“That’s good then. I need a quiet environment. I can’t be disturbed by outsiders,” Wang Yao reminded her.

He planned to use neixi to see if it could help with her brother’s strange illness. Of course, the less people knew this process, the better.

“I understand.”

In the morning, Wang Yao went to the Su family’s house again. He continued to use the method to treat Su Xiaoxue.

The treatment process ended when it was near noon.

“Do you feel anything different this time compared to yesterday?”

He could diagnose the changes in the patient’s condition and body, but he could not tell how the patient felt. If this process was tortuous to the patient, then he had to consider some other ways.

“I feel better than yesterday,” Su Xiaoxue answered.

In fact, she felt more or less the same that day as she did the day before. It was a burning kind of pain, as if there were several fire streams rippling in her arms. However, after the pain, she felt that her other body parts, especially the upper half of her body, seemed to be much more relaxed.

“That’s good then.”

Wang Yao gently massaged her arms, from her wrists to her shoulders. He asked her how she felt while massaging.

“It’s done. Today’s treatment will end here.”

To Song Ruiping, it was still a massage therapy. He did not use any medication.

“Dr. Wang, when do you think my daughter can stand up?” This was what she had always been concerned about.

“It’s hard for me to say.”

It was impossible for her to stand up with the current condition of her body. It would take her quite a long time to recover.

She had been lying on the bed for more than three years. Even if someone gave her a massage every day, the muscles in her body had already atrophied a lot, in addition to the terrifying heat toxins in her body. It was already very painful for her to move, let alone stand up. It was already the biggest miracle for her to be able to stay alive.

“Now, she has to try to move her arms and turn her body first. Then, we’ll see if she’s able to stand up.”

It was impossible to try to run when one had not learnt how to walk.

“Alright.”

When Wang Yao was preparing to leave after the treatment ended, he ran into Su Xianghua who returned home.

“Hello, Dr. Wang.”

“Hello, Mr. Su.”

Mr. Su’s identity was probably not quite ordinary.

As his achievement was getting deeper and deeper, his sensitivity towards the air dynamic was getting more and more acute. It was not just the natural air dynamic in between the heaven and earth, but also the air dynamic in humans and animals. This was not just related to the strength of the body, but the status and manners of people; for example, people who had been in a high position for a long time would have a unique air dynamic over time. This was the so-called “fostering of the spirit of moral character” and extraordinary dignity.

Su Xianghua had an air dynamic which was far different from that of ordinary people.

“Are you leaving?” Su Xianghua was still very kind towards this young man.

“Yes. Today’s treatment has already ended.”

“Why don’t you leave after having lunch here?”

“It’s okay. I’ll go back to the cottage for lunch.”

“Alright then. Thanks for your help.”

“You’re welcome.”

After a few simple words of courtesy, Wang Yao left.

“How is it?” Su Xianghua asked his wife about the condition of his daughter once he entered his house.

“Xiaoxue said that she’s feeling better. Why did you come back now?”

“I happened to pass by due to some urgent matters, so I came in to have a look,” Su Xianghua replied. “Where’s Xiaoxue?”

“She has just fallen asleep.”

“Oh. I won’t go over then.” Su Xianghua left after drinking some water in the living room.

Urgent matters? Song Ruiping thought to herself as she looked at her husband’s figure as he was leaving, but she did not ask much.

…

“Dr. Wang, I’ve already made the arrangements. It’ll be tomorrow morning.”

“Okay. Tomorrow morning it is,” Wang Yao replied. “Oh right, why don’t you accompany me to Antiques Street in the afternoon to look around?”

“Sure,” Chen Ying responded.

Could it be that Dr. Wang liked antiques as well?

In fact, Wang Yao had just purely hit upon a wild idea. He wanted to see if he could find some medicine-related things on Antiques Street.

It was past two o’clock in the afternoon after lunch. He and Chen Ying both set off directly from home.

Antiques Street in Jing City was very famous. There were all sorts of antiques here. There were real and fake ones, as well as old and new ones. People came and went. It was very lively.

“Dr. Wang, do you have some knowledge in this too?”

“No. I’m just purely curious, so I came over to have a look.”

He had already wanted to visit the day before. However, it was already late, so he gave up.

“Come, take a look, young man.”

Some people set up street stalls, and some opened shops.

Wang Yao strolled on the street without a hurry.

Huh?

Wang Yao suddenly stopped beside a stall.

He saw a book of scriptures. The name of the book was a bit strange. It was titled Zhou Yi References.

Zhou Yi?

“Boss, how is this book sold?” Wang Yao pointed directly at the book which was thrown in an inconspicuous position.

“This book? You have a good eye, young man. This is from the Ming Dynasty. Since you’re interested in it, it’s sold for a non-negotiable price, 50,000 yuan!”

50,000 yuan?

Wang Yao smiled upon hearing the price. Although he did not understand cultural relics and did not know the tricks of the trade, he clearly noticed the person’s gaze and tone when he was talking. He was obviously trying to rip people off!

“May I have a look at it?”

“Sure. Here you go.” The man handed the book to Wang Yao.

This book did look like something that was old and it mostly contained the Eight Trigrams of Zhou Yi. There were also some annotations and it was an antique, but it was hard to say which dynasty it was from. Furthermore, things like this weren’t very valuable to just anyone. Of course, some people liked to study Zhou Yi. This book might be sold for a high price, if the right person found it.

“3000 yuan.” Wang Yao said.

“Are you kidding, young man? This book is from the Ming Dynasty. Seeing that we’re fated to meet, I’ll sell it to you for only 30,000 yuan!”

“3000 yuan!”

“You’re putting me in a difficult position. I’ll sell it to you for 20,000 yuan. I won’t go any lower.”

Haha. Wang Yao put down the book.
