Chapter 11 Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles

After a hehe smile, Mr. Wang went on to say: "The one who should come will always come back, sooner or later, don't worry!" After a short pause, he said to Lao Jiang: "Decai, hurry up tomorrow In Shuangchagou, there is an old Chinese doctor named Wang Wenjing, and I heard that his ancestral thirteen acupuncture needles have a set of methods to cure evil Qi. Invite him here and let your son take a look."

Undoubtedly, Mr. Wang's words gave Jiang Decai a guiding light in the dark night, which made his heart suddenly light up, and he was agitated. He stood up and grabbed Mr. Wang's arm, feeling a little excited Said, "Brother, why don't you talk about it during the day? Really? If I had said it earlier, I wouldn't have gone to that lowly old Mrs. Song."

When Lao Jiang got excited, he grabbed Mr. Wang and called "Big Brother", which made everyone in the room laugh.Third Master Wang didn't smile, not only didn't smile, but his face darkened.

"I didn't know about keeping children until I finished work at night. It wasn't long before I came here. During the day, I was still putting trees on the production team hill. You want me to talk to the tree stumps?"

People in the village are more fond of teasing, and this father and two are no exception. They are used to joking, so Jiang Decai will say those things that are not big or small, but now he obviously feels that Wang Sanye's words are a bit reluctant, think about what he said It's also a bit aggressive, after all, Mr. Wang is an elder.

Scratching his head, he was a little embarrassed and said, "That's all I said. You see, you're still in a hurry."

When the two of you made a fuss, everyone laughed along with them. This tense day finally ended with laughter.

Fortunately, Jiang Liu didn't make any trouble that night.This made Jiang Decai have a good night's sleep. At dawn the next day, Lao Jiang explained the family affairs to his wife, took a pot of water, put two pancakes on stick noodles, and rushed to Shuangchagou.

If you want to talk about the thirteen needles of the ghost gate, it is the most special acupuncture method in the mysterious Chinese acupuncture.Its special feature can feel extraordinary from its name.

Because the traditional Chinese counting of yin and yang and five elements is up to twelve, that is, the number of earthly branches, and other numbers are doubled from twelve, such as 24, 48, 96 and the like.

As for what thirteen represents, it is something about the outer five elements.

The ghost gate with thirteen needles refers to ghost seal, ghost palace, ghost cave, ghost base, ghost road, ghost market, ghost hall, ghost pillow, ghost heart, ghost leg, ghost letter, ghost camp, ghost hide, ghost I wait for the acupoints in these ghost caves.

It is said that the thirteen needles of the ghost gate have been handed down to the present, leaving a total of thirteen needles, namely: one needle for Renzhong Ershaoshang, three needles for Yinbai and Silingliang, five needles for Shenmai and Six Fengfu, and seven needles for cheek car Eight acupuncture needles, nine needles for labor palace and ten upper stars, eleven Quchi fire needles for strength, twelve perineal needles, and thirteen tongue bottoms in the center.

Speaking of the thirteen needles at the ghost gate, the most special thing is that it can not only treat diseases such as lamb madness and hysteria in traditional Chinese medicine.It also has a magical effect, which is used to cure ghosts.

If someone possesses a ghost, just one acupuncture at the Shaoshang point (the name of the acupuncture point, on the radial side of the thumb, 0 inch from the corner of the nail) will work. Naturally, there are also ghosts. If there is no effect, then continue to choose two to three stitches among the thirteen stitches.

When the ghosts are persecuted and can't stand it, they will plead with the acupuncturist. At this time, the acupuncturist asks the reason and acts as a peacemaker between humans and ghosts. Super born, that's it.

But it is absolutely impossible to put thirteen needles at the same time. If that happens, the ghosts will be scattered, and the crime will be serious.Therefore, people who practice needles generally don't do everything right, they just click on it to drive away the ghosts.

When Jiang Decai was very young, he heard from old people that the thirteen needles of the ghost gate can suppress all ghosts, so he had great hopes for this trip to Shuangchagou.

In fact, then again, Lao Jiang was also in a hurry and confused, and went to the doctor when he was sick, because the current situation is that this woman did not have the body to go to the river at all, but in that era when there was a lack of medical treatment and underdeveloped science, Especially in the face of these invisible and intangible things, it is better to have hope than to have no hope.

Preoccupied with his children, Lao Jiang walked fast. When he arrived at Shuangchagou, it was just after 9 o'clock in the morning, and the journey of nearly forty miles took only more than two points. It seemed that Lao Jiang was really Really go all out.

At the entrance of the village in Shuangchagou, after drinking the last sip of water, Lao Jiang put the military water bottle on his back and walked towards the village.

This season is when the village is busy harvesting autumn. In a large flat field in front of the village, a group of men and women are picking corn in the cornfield that has been cut down.

Lao Jiang came to Shuangchagou for the first time, his eyes were darkened, and he didn't know anyone. He stood on the edge of the flat ground, groped for a long time, and finally came to the nearest elder brother. There was a man in his 50s, but he looked a little different from others. As for what was different, the impatient Lao Jiang couldn't tell for a while.

The reason why he asked this person for directions was that Jiang Decai felt that it was easier to talk to men, and he was the only one who was closest to him, so Lao Jiang, who walked up to this person, stretched his waist a little and asked with an apologetic smile. One sentence: "Brother, I'm tired and I'm asking you for someone."

The man didn't say anything, didn't look up at Lao Jiang, and continued to pick up the corn with his head down. Lao Jiang thought he didn't hear, so he hurriedly said again loudly: "Brother, I'm tired and I'm asking you for someone." The man still didn't look up, or I didn't say anything.

When Lao Jiang was wondering why this person was so arrogant, an old lady walked by the side of the road, looked at Jiang Decai, then at Jiang Decai and then asked about the person, and said in a complaining tone: "You say you child, then There are so many people here, it’s not good for you to inquire about the truth, but you just find a dumb person to inquire about it.”

When the old lady said this, Jiang Decai's heart skipped a beat, as if someone had stabbed him hard in the chest.

It turned out that in the paddock, there was a rule passed down from the old life. There is such a saying that if there is a sick person in the family, when you go out to ask the doctor to ask about your son, you must not ask the mute. Nine out of ten patients are incurable.

Jiang Decai, who was on fire in his heart, quickly spit on the ground, and comforted himself in his heart, saying, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a coincidence, it's okay to keep a child, and the one with the cross palm pattern on the palm will definitely fine!

Lao Jiang looked anxious, and the kind old lady saw it and yelled with concern: "You are from a foreign country, what's the matter in Shuangchagou?"

Jiang Decai, who had already withdrawn and returned to the side of the road, came to the old lady, sighed and said, "Ma'am, I am from Sanliangzi Village. I am here to invite Dr. Wang Wenjing to see my son."

After listening to the old lady, she covered her mouth with few teeth left, smiled and said: "What a coincidence, Wang Wenjing is my son. Come on, just follow me." After finishing speaking, the old lady turned around and walked forward up.

This was great news for Lao Jiang. In a moment of excitement, Jiang Decai ran to the front of the old lady, slapped his waist, picked up the old lady, and walked towards Wang Wenjing's house according to the direction she pointed.

Walking into the gate of an earthen courtyard wall, the old lady on Jiang Decai's back shouted inside: "Jingzi, someone is looking for you to see a doctor."

The inside of the room agreed happily, and as soon as the door opened, a man in his 50s, not tall, with a curly hair combed back, and a very energetic little old man appeared at the door.

At this time, the old lady who had been put down by Jiang Decai pointed at the person who came out, and said to Lao Jiang: "This is my son, the person you are looking for, just tell him if you have anything to do."

Before the old lady finished speaking, Jiang Decai rushed to Wang Wenjing, grabbed his hand and said, "Brother, my son can rely on you." Sobbing and wiping away tears.

Wang Wenjing, who didn't know what to do, quickly patted Jiang Decai's shoulder with the other hand, and said comfortingly: "Brother, brother, don't be like this, just tell me what's the matter, as long as I can help, feel free to speak up and go." Let's go into the house."

While talking, Wang Wenjing dragged Jiang Decai into the room.

As soon as the door curtain was lifted, a unique smell of medicine from a pharmacy rushed towards him. Jiang Decai almost coughed, so he hurriedly rubbed his nose with his hands to feel better.

After sitting down in front of the consultation table, Jiang Decai took a glass of water that Wang Wenjing poured for himself, took a sip to moisten his throat, and then told Wang Wenjing about Jiang Liu's affairs in detail.

Wang Wenjing sat on the only chair in the room and listened to Jiang Decai's speech. He probably heard a lot about these things. He nodded his head for a while, rubbed his chin with his hand for a while, and pondered for a while after Jiang Decai finished speaking. Then he said: "Brother, listen to me, it's not a big deal for me to go with you. The problem is that according to what you said, I don't think I can solve the problem even if I go. Because what, your son said That woman didn't get on him, if that's the case, my ghost gate thirteen needles won't be able to catch her."

Jiang Decai's heart immediately turned cold, like an eggplant beaten by frost, he lowered his head and said nothing, but the tears were swaying back and forth in the depths of his eye sockets.When Wang Wenjing saw Lao Jiang's listless appearance, he quickly changed his tone and said, "Brother, don't worry too much. I just said that, in case the situation changes, if you say no, let's go as soon as possible, and try our best to stay in front of you." Arrive at your village before noon, if you arrive a little later, the child will suffer more."

As he was talking, Wang Wenjing had already started to pack his things. What Wang Wenjing picked out were things that were estimated to be useful. Lao Jiang didn't know any of these things, so he couldn't help them, so he could only watch from the sidelines.

After the things were packed, and before Wang Wenjing could say anything, Jiang Decai grabbed the small box with a red cross on it and carried it on his back.Seeing Lao Jiang's initiative, Wang Wenjing smiled. When he came to the yard, Jiang Decai deliberately ran to the old lady who was working, bowed deeply, and then led Wang Wenjing to Sanliangzi Village.
