Chapter 769: 200: It’s her_4

Wang Zhoushi shakes his head helplessly, dealing with a person of such an age who still acts like a child every day.

For three consecutive days, Ni Yang spends the afternoon with old Mr. Wang.

Wang Zeqi seldom stays at home, and the old couple, Mr. Wang and Wang Zhoushi, find their home life quite dull. But with the arrival of Ni Yang, smiles have returned to the faces of the elderly couple.

Despite Ni Yang’s sound medical skills from her previous life, in her current life, she discovers lots of new information when she revisits her studies.

Ni Yang is flipping through a medical book when she looks up at Mr. Wang and asks, “Master, is there any way to cure mental illnesses?”

Old Mr. Wang puts down his wine glass and replies, “There is one method, in fact. It was developed by our ancestral master, Bian Que.”

“Really?” Ni Yang shows interest and puts down her medical book.

Old Mr. Wang continues, “But this method is very dangerous. As the ancients said, improper use by a doctor could be life-threatening!” _{freёweɓnovel.com}

“Is it that serious?” Ni Yang frowns slightly, “Then Master, do you know how to do it?”

“Of course I do. I’m your master, how could I not know?” Old Mr. Wang strokes his beard before continuing, “This method is called the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles. According to the ‘Emergency Thousand Gold Essential Recipes, Volume 14, Chapter 5 on Wind Epilepsy,’ it is mentioned, ‘Bian Que said: the needle has thirteen holes to treat the illnesses caused by a hundred evils. When administering the needles, start with the Ghost Palace, then the ghost letter, the ghost rampart, and the ghost heart. It is not necessary to conduct all thirteen needles, just five or six points could be enlightening.’

The Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles is a distinctive therapeutic method from the profound knowledge of acupuncture, and is the most miraculous aspect of Chinese acupuncture.

In ancient times, it was a secret technique not taught outside the family of mystical medicine practitioners.

It specifically treats various mental disorders, which in modern medical terms include depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, and other mental illnesses. This method gathers the essence of various acupuncture methods, utilises different acupuncture points’ mechanism, and obtains unique curative effects upon reaching the disease. It holds an important place in the history of world medicine.

To this day, medical researchers take the “Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles,” as one of the important research topics.

Old Mr. Wang casually picks up a medical book and hands it to Ni Yang, “You take this book and have a look.”

Ni Yang takes the medical book.

The book is “Chinese Medicine: Acupuncture,” which contains detailed information about the “Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles.”

As the name suggests, the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles consist of thirteen needles, which are administrated over the course of thirteen days. Also, the requirements for the practitioner are very high. Any slight negligence may result in a backlash.

Ni Yang asks, “Master, have you ever applied the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles?”

“No,” Old Mr. Wang continues, “The Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles was a forbidden needle in ancient times. It involves karma. People without considerable merit and virtue cannot use it lightly, else it could result in a reduced lifespan and a discontinuation of their offspring!”

Usually, doctors would not use this kind of forbidden needle carelessly.
