The world of film and television starts from the flow of money

Kaifeng, east of the city.

The faint light of dawn had not yet completely dispelled the darkness, and the bluestone streets were soaked with a thin layer of morning dew that had not yet completely dried up.

Thirteen faded white lanterns hung crookedly on both sides of the street, swaying gently in the morning mist. The air was filled with a mixture of herbs, spices and decay.

Ren Yingying was dressed in plain clothes and walked lightly. Her embroidered shoes gently stepped on the brown medicine residues spilled from the street medicine shop, making a crunching sound that broke the tranquility of the early morning.

"Is this right here?"

Yi Huawei watched Ren Yingying walk to a pharmacy and stop, and couldn't help but ask.

The medicine shop was sandwiched between the coffin shop and the incense and candle shop. Hanging from the door lintel was a string of dried centipedes, swaying gently in the breeze.

"Ok!"

Ren Yingying nodded slightly, walked forward, and just as she was about to knock on the door, the wooden door creaked and cracked. A medicine boy came out from the door, holding a copper basin in his hand. The water in the basin had become turbid, and black and red blood clots were deposited at the bottom of the basin.

"You need to hand in your name card before seeing a doctor."

The medicine boy's voice was cold and emotionless as he glanced at the two of them. There was green ointment embedded in the cracks of his nails, which looked a little dirty. He slapped a wooden sign on the stone mortar in front of the door, then stood aside and waited quietly.

"Oh!"

Ren Yingying's eyes fell on the wooden sign, and her fingertips gently scratched the wooden sign, leaving three very shallow marks. These marks seemed random, but they were actually the secret signs of the Sun Moon Sect's communication.

The medicine boy looked at the inscriptions on it, his pupils shrank, and he immediately bowed and said respectfully: "Please wait for a moment!"

Yi Huawei frowned slightly and glanced at Ren Yingying. Ren Yingying nodded slightly but did not explain.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the medicine boy opened the door and motioned for them to go in.

Passing through the narrow corridor, there are some old medical books and human meridian maps hanging on the walls, the colors of which have faded a little.

The two were led by the medicine boy to the back hall, which was filled with a strong smell of medicine and decay. A little old man in his fifties was leaning over a corpse, holding a silver needle in his hand, and was picking open the top of the corpse's head. His movements were very skillful. He used tweezers to pick out a fat white corpse worm and threw it into the porcelain jar next to him. The porcelain jar was already filled with a lot of such corpse worms, which were squirming in the jar and making slight sounds.

This plain-looking old man is actually the famous "murderous doctor" Ping Yizhi.

Ping was short and slender, but his fingers were unusually long. In the morning light, his fingers glowed with a waxy yellow luster, as if they had been in contact with various medicinal herbs and corpses for a long time.

"Pulse case." Ping Yizhi didn't even raise his head. The silver needle stained with brain marrow rubbed a dark red mark on the cloth.

Ren Yingying stretched out her right wrist, her movements graceful and calm. The cuffs slipped down half an inch, revealing the flame pattern embroidered on the lining. The flame pattern was embroidered with fine craftsmanship, and it was a pattern that could only be used by the elders of the Divine Religion and above.

Yi Huawei suddenly pressed Ren Yingying's wrist: "Wait a minute." He looked at Ren Yingying and smiled, then took out a white handkerchief from his arms and carefully spread it on the pulse pillow: "Miss Yingying is a princess, don't let her get stained with dirt."

Ren Yingying's eyes curved, her eyebrows raised, and she chuckled, "Thank you, sir!"

"…Miss Saint…Auntie, are you here to see a doctor as well?"

Hearing Ren Yingying's voice, Ping Yizhi finally raised his triangular eyes, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He glanced around and saw Ren Yingying making a gesture towards him. He narrowed his eyes, and Ping Yizhi's expressionless gaze stayed on Yi Huawei's face for a moment.

Ren Yingying nodded gently:
"That's right! I heard that Doctor Ping is a very skilled doctor, and his medical skills are unpredictable. I have been feeling a little unwell lately, so I came here to seek medical treatment. I hope Doctor Ping can bring me back to health."

Ping Yizhi nodded slightly, a gleam of brilliance flashed in his triangular eyes, and he said politely, "Miss, you are too kind. I am just a little bit knowledgeable in medicine and can solve some difficult and complicated diseases. I wonder what disease you are suffering from? What are the symptoms?"

Ren Yingying frowned slightly, and then said: "Recently, I often feel abdominal pain, and my breathing is not smooth. I feel dizzy and have difficulty sleeping at night. Please ask Doctor Ping to diagnose and treat me carefully."

Ping touched his chin with one finger, glanced at Ren Yingying, and said, "In that case, let me take your pulse first. But does the young lady know my rules?"

Ren Yingying glanced at Yi Huawei and smiled, "Of course I know! Please ask Doctor Ping to check my pulse."

As he said this, he placed his wrist on the pulse pillow.

After feeling the pulse with one finger, Ping Yizhi let out a light sigh. He knew Ren Yingying's physical condition very well, but this time Ren Yingying's condition had not worsened even though she had an attack earlier. He frowned slightly and fell into thought, his brain working rapidly, trying to find the reason. According to common sense, the corpse worms in Ren Yingying's body should not have attacked at this time, and even if they did, the condition should be more serious than before, but now the situation is very different.

After thinking for a while, he said, "The girl has severe abdominal pain at midnight and turbulent qi at yin."

Ren Yingying nodded: "Exactly!"

"If I am not mistaken, the young lady has been poisoned for some time. This time the disease should have been aggravated, but it is unexpected. Did this gentleman use any special method on Miss Ren?"

As he spoke, Ping Yizhi turned his gaze to Yi Huawei with a probing look in his eyes.

Yi Huawei's pupils suddenly contracted. He had indeed used Zixia Gong to clear Ren Yingying's meridians last night. No third person knew about this, but Ping Yizhi was able to reveal it in one sentence. There was indeed some trick to it.

He nodded and said, "Last night I used the Huashan School's Zixia Gong to dredge Miss Yingying's meridians and help relieve her pain. Could this be related to her current condition?"

Ping Yizhi nodded slightly: "So that's how it is. Zixia Gong is the true yang energy. Perhaps it is this true energy that temporarily suppressed the corpse worms, causing them to attack earlier but not aggravating the condition... May I ask what level of Zixia Gong you have reached?"

Looking at Yi Huawei, Ping Yizhi's tone became much more polite when he spoke.

Although Zixia's magic power is extremely yang, it is not easy to alleviate the symptoms caused by the Three Corpses Brain Pill.

Yi Huawei nodded and said, "Perfect!"

"what?!"

After hearing this, Ren Yingying and Ping Yizhi were both shocked. Ren Yingying knew that Yi Huawei was a first-rate martial artist, but she didn't know that he had mastered the Zixia magic skill to perfection at such a young age. It was simply shocking.

I’m not sure if there will be no successors, but it is definitely unprecedented.

"Miss, I am sorry for the old man's wrongdoing!"

As he spoke, Ping Yizhi's heart moved. Seeing the flash of joy in Ren Yingying's eyes, he nodded slightly, and quickly lifted Ren Yingying's eyelids to check. Then he suddenly turned to the medicine boy and shouted, "Bring me a three-edged needle! It must be soaked in peacock gall."

When the bottom drawer of the medicine cabinet was opened, a familiar fishy-sweet smell wafted out.

"Take off your clothes."

Ping Yizhi roasted the silver needle over the candle flame until it was red, his eyes were focused and indifferent, and his voice was emotionless. At this moment, he was fully focused on the rescue task in front of him, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

"Corpse worms gather in the Tanzhong acupoint, so we need to insert needles into the Renmai meridian." Ping Yizhi explained. Yi Huawei's scabbard suddenly crossed in front of Ren Yingying: "Wait! There are differences between men and women. Doctor, can you orally tell me the acupuncture points and let me do it for you?"

Ping Yizhi's Adam's apple moved, and a hint of hesitation flashed across his triangular eyes. He was silent for a moment, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. His eyes involuntarily looked at Ren Yingying, and he said, "Humph, do you know that if the acupuncture point is slightly off, it will be a matter of life and death."

Yi Huawei nodded and said, "Although I am not a doctor, I know a thing or two about meridian acupoints. I hope the doctor can explain it in detail."

Glancing at Ping Yizhi, Ren Yingying said softly, "I believe in my friend!"

Ping Yizhi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked Yi Huawei up and down, as if assessing his abilities. After a moment, he said:

"Okay, then listen carefully. The midpoint of the line connecting the Danzhong points needs to be pierced straight from 0.3 to 0.5 inches."

As Ping Yizhi spoke, he used his fingers to indicate the positions of the acupoints on his chest, trying to make Yi Huawei understand the locations of the acupoints accurately.

"I'm offended, girl!"

Yi Huawei nodded slightly, his eyes focused on remembering every word Ping Yizhi said. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and slowly moved the silver needle in his hand towards Ren Yingying's Tanzhong acupoint.

Ren Yingying slightly closed her eyes. Although she was a little nervous, she had an inexplicable trust in Yi Huawei. She slightly adjusted her breathing and tried to relax herself to cooperate with Yi Huawei's acupuncture.

Seeing Yi Huawei insert the silver needle into the acupuncture point, Ping Yizhi inserted a three-edged needle into the Zhongchong acupoint on Ren Yingying's left hand.

As the triangular needle pierced into the body, black blood slowly climbed up along the silver needle lines. The black blood was dark in color and emitted a disgusting smell.

Ping Yizhi suddenly grabbed Yi Huawei's right hand and pressed it on Ren Yingying's back, shouting: "At the time of Xu, go to the Shaoyang meridian of the hand, through the Tianjing, Sidu, Sanyang meridians, and when passing the Yangchi acupoint, you need to retain 30% of your strength."

"it is good!"

Yi Huawei responded, and as soon as his palm touched Ren Yingying's white gauze middle dress, he felt her back tense like a bowstring. Ren Yingying's body instinctively reacted to this sudden touch, her muscles tensed, and the tension in her heart intensified.

Ping Yizhi inserted the silver needle into the Laogong acupoint again, and suddenly shouted: "Has the true energy passed the Zhigou acupoint?"

Ping Yizhi's voice was urgent, and he was paying close attention to the circulation of the true energy in Ren Yingying's body.

"We haven't arrived yet."

Yi Huawei's forehead was covered with sweat, and the light purple energy of Zixia Gong was flowing under Ren Yingying's skin. He concentrated on feeling the flow of the energy and tried his best to follow Ping Yizhi's instructions.

The medicine boy held the bronze mirror and adjusted the angle so that the light would shine on the Fengchi acupoint behind Ren Yingying's neck. The light made the acupoint more visible, providing better conditions for Ping Yizhi and Yi Huawei's operation.

Ping Yizhi suddenly used the needle handle to hit the Quchi point on Yi Huawei's elbow: "Stupid! The corpse worms in the Yinwei Meridian are trying to escape to the Chong Meridian!"

Ping Yizhi's voice was filled with anger and anxiety. He knew very well that the consequences of the corpse worms escaping would be disastrous.

His withered fingers tapped seven acupoints on Ren Yingying's back: "Change to the foot-sun meridian and enter from the Dazhui acupoint!"

Ping Yizhi's movements were swift and accurate. With his rich experience and superb medical skills, he worked hard to guide Yi Huawei's energy.

A muffled groan escaped from Ren Yingying's throat, and her body began to tremble. There was pain in that groan, but also a hint of endurance.

Yi Huawei immediately withdrew some of his internal strength, as he was worried that his actions would cause greater harm to Ren Yingying.

Ping Yizhi grabbed the pestle and smashed his wrist: "Keep going! If the corpse worm leaves the Yuzhen acupoint, all your efforts will be wasted!"

The cinnabar powder on the pestle fell onto Ren Yingying's scattered black hair. The red powder formed a sharp contrast with Ren Yingying's black hair.

"excuse me."

Yi Huawei gritted his teeth and used all his strength, and the purple energy surged. Ren Yingying's middle garment suddenly split open by three inches, revealing the dark red corpse worm scar on her shoulder blade. The scar was dark in color and had a strange shape.

Ping Yizhi's silver needle pierced into the center of the scar like lightning, and the gold thread wrapped around the end of the needle suddenly straightened. Ping Yizhi's movements were swift and accurate, and he stared closely at the silver needle and the gold thread, fearing that the corpse worm would escape.

"I will use my sword energy to force it out now!"

Ping Yizhi swung out the scalpel and said, "Cut open the Zhiyang acupoint half an inch. Pay attention, use your internal strength, and stop when I say stop!"

There was nervousness and excitement in his voice, he knew this was a crucial step.

As soon as the blade touched Ren Yingying's skin, Yi Huawei pressed down Ping Yizhi's wrist and said, "I'll do it."

The tip of the sword precisely opened the skin, and the purple air flowed along the sword body, and a wriggling black object pushed out from the incision. The black object had a strange shape, a slippery surface, and exuded a disgusting smell. Ren Yingying's body trembled slightly, and she endured the pain, with beads of sweat on her forehead.

Ping Yizhi's silver needle immediately wove a net to catch the corpse worm, and threw it into the copper basin filled with realgar. The corpse worm struggled in the copper basin, making a creepy sound.

Ren Yingying suddenly convulsed violently, and black blood oozed out of her seven orifices. Her body was shaking uncontrollably, and black blood flowed out of her seven orifices. The scene was shocking.

Ping Yizhi flipped his hand and showed seven golden needles, piercing them into the four Shencong acupoints on her head respectively: "Quick! The true energy will flow through the Du channel, through the waist Yangguan and directly into the Baihui!"

The Purple Cloud Technique formed a spiral of Qi in Ren Yingying's body. He pushed the Qi with all his strength.

The medicine boy suddenly poured a basin of ice water over her, and white mist rose from the acupuncture points all over Ren Yingying's body. The stimulation of the ice water caused Ren Yingying's body to tremble violently, and her consciousness became blurred in the pain and coldness. Ping Yizhi took the opportunity to sprinkle the medicine powder on the wound, and the smelly black blood immediately turned bright red.

"Half a minute left."

Ping Yizhi stared at the copper leak with a focused and nervous look. He suddenly inserted three moxa sticks into Yi Huawei's Jianjing acupoint and lit them: "Use the fire to burn the remaining corpse poison to the Tianchi acupoint!"

He decided to use this last method to eliminate the remaining corpse poison in Ren Yingying's body.

Yi Huawei gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain from his Jianjing acupoint. The burning of the flames made his body tremble slightly, but he still endured the pain and used all his strength to stimulate the Qi in his body. Ren Yingying's body also rose and fell slightly under the influence of the Qi, her face was as pale as paper, and her lips were bloodless.

As time went by, Yi Huawei's Qi gradually pushed the remaining corpse poison to the Tianchi acupoint. Ren Yingying's body gradually calmed down, her breathing became steady, and the black blood from her seven orifices stopped flowing out.

Finally, at the last moment, Ping Yizhi let out a long sigh and said, "Okay, the corpse poison has been removed."

Upon hearing this, Yi Huawei's body suddenly went limp and a smile appeared on his face.

Ren Yingying slowly opened her eyes, looked at Yi Huawei and Ping Yizhi, and said softly: "Thank you both for saving my life."
