Practicing business and practicing medicine

What was originally a normal casual chat at the table unexpectedly involved a unique skill of traditional Chinese medicine: the "World in the Sleeve" technique.

"Listen to my father's retelling... it seems to be like this... the alloy whip used by the master you bumped into that day was not fixed to the wrist with any rings or rubber bands. From beginning to end, it was just so lightly... casually buckled between the Gold Hill and the Moon Hill. You Chinese medicine practitioners also call this area the 'Earth Hill'!" As he spoke, Boss Nie stretched out his palm to indicate.

"Yes, according to the old Chinese medical knowledge, we also call it 'Earth Hill', which is the starting point of the lifeline mentioned in divination, right!" Bian Mu responded with a smile.

"We are talking about the same thing. The sleeve whip that man used was naturally buckled at this place... When using it, he used the clever strength of his little finger and the strength of his wrist to swing it around at any time. To those who don't know much about it, it gives an illusion that the whip handle is always fixed to the wrist with a rubber band or something, so it can be retracted and released freely. Just think about it, how profound is that man's kung fu!"

Hearing this, Bian Mu was silent for a moment.

"Golden rope?!"

"You're quite knowledgeable! That's right! The pure gold rope may still be too light for you. Go back and get a feel for it! The lighter it is, the more skill you have put into it! I heard from the older generation that the masters of the previous generation could just grab a thin horsetail, lightly buckle their wrists, and whip it out. Even a horse post as thick as a bowl could be broken in one go! The cut end looks like it's been cut with a knife." When he said this, the expression on Boss Nie's face was a little exaggerated.

"Ah?! It's not that mysterious, right?! After all, it's a ponytail, the density and toughness are there!" Bian Mu retorted slightly with some disapproval.

"It's hard to say! Anyway, I saw with my own eyes that an elder in my family took a playing card and casually threw it. There are big pumpkins planted in my yard in the summer! The kind that are hung up, tied with ropes, and the distance was about ten meters. Wow! Such a big pumpkin was cut into two pieces immediately, neatly! Just like it was cut with a knife! It's true!"

"Oh my! That sounds amazing! I've seen people chopping cucumbers with flying cards in short videos, but they were so close, less than 5 meters away! Later, I also tried it a few times, and I can do it just like them! Your senior's hand strength is really amazing!"

"Of course not! It's been many years since I last saw him. Alas! His children were not filial, and the old man didn't have a happy life in his later years!" At this point, Boss Nie sighed softly.

After accompanying Boss Nie with some awkward sighs, Bian Mu casually picked up the whip and gently wrapped it around his wrist a few times.

"That's right! Watch the rhythmic gymnastics performance. There are ribbons and a small stick tied in front. When you shake your wrist, the ribbons will twirl into several circles. Now use the whip in your hand to shake a similar circle. How many can you shake?" Suddenly, Boss Nie seemed to remember something and gave a few hints.

Hearing this, Bian Mu pressed the tail of the whip on the "hill" of his right palm, and silently planned something in his mind. He flipped his wrist and swung the whip to the side. Two circles, one big and one small, were thrown out along the same axis.

"Yes, yes! That's right. I heard from the elders that you have to throw out at least 9 circles to be considered a beginner! The man you bumped into that day should be able to throw out a lot of similar whip flowers relatively freely, and the diameters are very uniform. Just think about it, it's difficult!"

Hearing this, Bian Mu lowered his head and was silent for a while. He calculated it over and over again in his mind for a long time, and then he shook his hand. Three whip flowers were thrown out, but they were crooked and a little messy.

Keep trying...

At most, I can shake out 5 whip flowers, and the styles presented are different each time, which is impossible to do as I wish.

There was no way. The whip was lined with metal filaments, so it was neither light nor heavy. No matter how he adjusted the method and angle of force, Bian Mu could not do it as he wished.

Last time, Bian Mu demonstrated the magic of whipping candles to his colleagues on the stage, and he was still a little complacent about it. But today, when he played with this soft whip hidden in his sleeve, he was at a loss.

"My father is a bit better than you, but... he's still no match for the guy you bumped into that day. So, we guessed that he deliberately set up a trap to teach you a lesson! There shouldn't be much malicious intent."

"That makes sense... Thinking about it later, it's possible... Then... why did he come here?!"

"Remind you not to be proud?! Guard against arrogance and impatience?! Go one step further?!"

"It seems that he was not as polite as you said. That guy really beat me to death that day! The mark on the ground was full of sparks, and his hands were black! I feel that it was more like a warning! Now that I think about it... maybe it was a hint... With my level of skill, I am still a long way from being able to do it. Is that what you mean?" As he spoke, Bian Mu looked up at Boss Nie.

"Maybe... Anyway, there is no bad intention. You can practice hard later! This is also the intention of the elders in the family. They sent me here to discuss a suitable size with you and send you the sword as soon as possible. I believe you know the deep meaning of it better than me! Martial arts and medicine are passed down in our family. Our ancestors have famous doctors. However, it is completely different from the so-called "digital medicine" you founded. It combines medicine and martial arts. It is said that the old man's acupuncture skills are also unique! Just imagine, if the man who attacked you that day was indeed a descendant of Taoist medicine, the effect of acupuncture on his hand... you know!"

"Indeed! It seems... I'm still a long way to go!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"That's not the case. Judging from the current situation of the traditional Chinese medicine clinics in the city, you have indeed become one of the top masters. However... you are still so young. If you continue to move forward, your future will be limitless! Our whole family is very optimistic about you. If you need any help in the future, just let us know!"

"Thank you, thank you! I'll think about it later. Let's not talk about anything else for now. If this soft whip is practiced well, the soft and delicate strength in my hands can be used to massage children under 7 years old. The effect will definitely be beyond our imagination now." At this point, Bian Mu seemed to have realized something.

There is always someone better than you!

Perhaps, Boss Nie made this trip today for another purpose? !

Bian Mu became much quieter.

Traditional Chinese medicine is profound and extensive. I have always been proud of being the founder of the "Numerical Medicine" school. Now it seems a bit ridiculous...
