Chapter 1725: The Enlightenment of the Enfeoffment Order
Sima Kui has always refused to undergo further medical examinations. As a master of traditional Chinese medicine, he is obsessed with the integrity and consistency of his own circulatory system. For his generation, their bodies and hair are given by their parents and must not be tampered with lightly.

It has been rumored that most old Chinese medicine practitioners always have a certain degree of doubt about surgical treatment. Unless the patient is really incurable or dying without surgery, in most cases, they will not sign and agree to "undergo" surgery casually, even minimally invasive new surgical methods!

Sima Kui's medical skills are there for all to see. He has a certain understanding of how advanced contemporary Western medicine is. He actually approves of biopsy, which is equivalent to a minor surgery, and he has never questioned its scientific validity.

Sima Kui has his own advantages. Compared with other old Chinese medicine practitioners, he is a genuine master of traditional martial arts. Moreover, in terms of Qigong, he is also a top-notch expert with a very high level.

In Sima Kui's opinion, from the beginning to the end, his blood vessels were absolutely unobstructed, with no obstructions at all. No matter how severe the cancer was, it could not escape the common sense of Chinese medicine such as deficiency of Qi and blood, stasis of Qi and blood, and discomfort caused by cold... right? With Sima Kui's excellent skills, could any powerful external evil really take his life?!

Sima Kui never believed in that kind of nonsense!

The reason why the two brothers turned to Bian Mu for help was that they believed that they were getting old and their immunity and resistance had declined overall, so they just wanted to rely on Bian Mu's superb medical skills to restore their health.

however……

After the acupuncture was started, Sima Kui gradually realized the high level of Bian Muyu's acupuncture skills, which was beyond Sima Kui's understanding.

"Can I speak?" Sima Kui asked casually.

Sima Kui was an expert, and the reason he asked this was because he was afraid that he would let down his temper again and make Bian Mubai busy for a long time. However, the effect of acupuncture was quite miraculous. It was the first time for Sima Kui to encounter this in his half-life of practicing medicine. If he didn't ask something on the spot, he would still feel a little uncomfortable.

A skilled acupuncturist would inevitably try the needles on himself, and Sima Kui was no exception. He had experienced all kinds of strange needle sensations, but the acupuncture effect he experienced today was truly rare, so naturally he had to get to the bottom of it.

With a chuckle, Bian Mu laughed.

"Teacher Sima! You are a senior master. Even if your acupuncture techniques are mysterious, you shouldn't restrict others from speaking! Tell me what's wrong! I have tried it on myself many times beforehand, so there shouldn't be any problem." Bian Mu responded with a smile.

Liang Xiangyin seemed to have some confidence in his mind. He smiled and waited quietly without interrupting.

"That's what I said! Why does it feel like there's a piece missing in that place?! It's empty... a very strange feeling... does it mean... once the barrier is formed, the blood circulation pathways will be blocked?" Sima Kui asked curiously.

Hearing this, Liang Xiangyin curled his lips in disapproval, obviously disagreeing.

"This proves that the technique, acupoints, time... are all correct, and it does have this effect. However... it is not a ban, but a temporary 'qi path'. It is temporary and will be automatically released 24 hours after the needles are removed. This new qi path goes around the problematic area, which is equivalent to tying a knot around the lesion. This is the first time I've used this difficult acupuncture method, so I don't have much of an idea. I can only try it first and see." Bian Mu explained with a smile.

"Oh! So that's how it is! Western medicine surgery directly removes the lesion. Why do I have a similar feeling?!" Sima Kui continued. "To describe it vividly, it is indeed somewhat similar. This is also the mystery of our Chinese medicine. For example, in the past, the preferential treatment of noble families often caused the princes to gradually become bigger and bigger, and in the future, it would develop into a major hidden danger to the court. The "Enfeoffment Order" enforced by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a relatively alternative and milder method. By the time of Liu Xiu's generation, his father and uncle had been demoted to the level of county magistrate. By the time of Liu Bei's generation, it was even worse. He had to make a living by weaving mats and selling shoes on the street. If you were not old, I would really like to use that kind of milder acupuncture method. Now, I have upgraded it a few levels. It is regarded as the unique "qi knife" method of Chinese medicine. The method of slowly cutting the lesion in circles will gradually limit the lesion to the extent that it cannot get oxygen and nutrition. By then, you will be almost cured." Bian Mu smiled and explained for a long time.

Upon hearing this, Sima Kui and Liang Xiangyin's faces changed drastically, and for a moment, they said nothing.

Bian Mu saw this scene clearly and could guess what was going on.

Sima Kui turned his head and glanced at his second senior brother, as if asking for his opinion on whether he should tell Bian Mu something.

Smiling, Liang Xiangyin took over the conversation and said a few words: "Xiao Bian! What you just said sounds a bit similar to what my master explained back then, but... at that time our foundation was still very weak, and we didn't understand it too deeply. Your metaphor of the 'Enfeoffment Order' is really apt. Anyway, I understood it as soon as I heard it."

Hearing this, Bian Mu suddenly looked extremely happy.

"Really? I also borrowed some key sentences from your sect's 'Iron Certificate and Red Book'. I didn't expect that some of my physiognomy skills would coincide with those of my master. I am so honored, so honored!" Bian Mu hurriedly said a few polite words.

"Alas! My master has a very open-minded personality and doesn't have much patience with his disciples. It's our blessing if we understand, but it's not appropriate to ask too many questions if we don't understand. Usually, he is only patient with the eldest brother. Invisibly, we have missed out on many of his unique skills. When you mentioned the 'Enfeoffment Order' just now, I understood it as soon as I heard it. He..." At this point, some past events came to his mind and Liang Xiangyin was speechless.

"Of course! Sometimes they think we are too stupid and just start fighting. The more we dodge, the fiercer we fight. We are so difficult to deal with!" Sima Kui echoed a few words casually from the side.

With laughter and chatter, based on the beneficial inspiration of the "Enfeoffment Order", the two generations of old and young talked for a while about the topic of innovation in acupuncture technology. The three of them were experts, and the more they talked, the deeper they got. Bian Mu learned a lot of new things...

……

After the acupuncture, the three of them sat in the clinic and drank some tea. Sima Kui insisted on treating them, and Bian Mu naturally couldn't refuse. He originally planned to go to Dong Yushan's place to have a bite to eat and take her pulse. Since Dong Yushan was indeed not in danger of her life, it would not waste time to go there after get off work in the evening.

In the downtown area, Sima Kui picked a Suzhou cuisine restaurant. They had six dishes and a soup. The three of them chatted and laughed, and they enjoyed the meal very much.

During the meal, Bian Mu called Dong Yushan and asked her to prepare some ingredients such as steamed bun crumbs, mung beans, celery, and sweet potatoes. After get off work in the evening, Bian Mu had to go over to make some medicinal food for Dong Yuhu.

Sima Kui and Liang Xiangyin listened to a few words and didn't ask any more questions. They guessed that the so-called patient must have a special relationship with Bian Mu.

After the meal, as they walked out of the restaurant, Bian Mu gave Sima Kui a few instructions, telling him to try to get the acupuncture done on time at noon for seven days in a row. After a few polite words, Sima Kui went home.
