Chapter 385: Vigorous Blood
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
He stood on the highest point of the mountain rock.
He and the heaven and earth seemed to have become one.
This was a very mysterious feeling.
His eyes were closed, but he could feel the changes in between the heaven and earth. The wind blew, the leaves fell, the insects chirped, and the water surged.
He was a part of the heaven and earth, but he could feel all the subtle things around him.
Exhale, inhale.
The wind blew.
w.a.n.g Yao waved his hand and it felt like something gathered in his palm.
Release.
With a slam, the wind started howling and the plants bent their bodies.
Caw, caw, caw. The hawk hooted in the sky.
“Good morning, Da Xia.” w.a.n.g Yao’s voice was not loud, but it penetrated directly towards the clouds.
This place is still better!
Looking at the surroundings, there were no steep and long stretches of mountains like those outside Jing City.
He made a fire, burned some wood, boiled some water, and cooked. It was a simple meal.
After that, w.a.n.g Yao read some Taoist scriptures on the hill. It was peaceful here.
At the foot of the hill, someone had entered the mountain village and went directly to the outside of the medical center.
“Sigh, why is it still locked?!”
“I know. It’s been more than a week!”
“Hey, have you guys realized that the wooden sign that’s originally hung on the wooden door has been taken down?”
Initially, when w.a.n.g Yao left the mountain village and went to Jing City, he did hang a sign outside the door to inform people that the medical center was temporarily not open. He took down the sign when he came back the day before.
“Does that mean that he’s back?”
“Let’s wait then.”
A few people started waiting outside the medical center.
After a short while, w.a.n.g Yao walked towards the medical center slowly.
“Hey, look. That’s Dr. w.a.n.g!” One of them knew w.a.n.g Yao. He immediately shouted happily after seeing him.
Huh?
w.a.n.g Yao heard the sound from afar. He looked up and saw a few people standing outside his medical center.
What’s going on?!
They came so early.
“h.e.l.lo, Dr. w.a.n.g.”
“Hey, h.e.l.lo,” w.a.n.g Yao greeted with a smile.
In fact, he did not know who this person was at all, but a smiling person should not be turned away. The person probably knew him because he had come to have his illness treated before.
“Dr. w.a.n.g, have you recently travelled to somewhere far?”
“Yes, I was away.”
“Oh. I’ve come three times.”
“Really? Please come in.”
w.a.n.g Yao was quite apologetic after hearing what he said. It was not easy for people to come here three times in order to have their illnesses treated.
The people who came to see him were all elders in their forties or fifties. They looked quite well.
“Please take a seat.”
It was very quiet in the medical center. No one said anything, so they subconsciously queued up according to their time of arrival.
“Where do you feel unwell?”
“My stomach feels bloated after I finish eating. It’s uncomfortable and I feel nauseous,” the old man explained.
“Really? Have you had a checkup at the hospital?”
“Yes, I have. The doctor said that it’s fine and he prescribed me some medicine to regulate the flow of vital energy, but I didn’t get better after taking the medicine,” the old man replied.
“Oh. I’ll have a look.”
From the outside, the old man looked okay, but his breathing was slightly hot and his breath was slightly sour.
“You’re fine,” w.a.n.g Yao said with a smile after checking his pulse. “Do you like to eat meat during dinner?”
“Yes, I like to eat meat,” the old man answered with a smile. “I like to eat mutton around this time of the year.”
“There isn’t a big problem. Eating too much oily food at night will increase the burden on the stomach. In the long run, your stomach will be damaged, hence there’ll be reactions such as bloating and nausea,” w.a.n.g Yao explained with a smile.
“Oh. I’m fine then?” the man asked while heaving a sigh of relief.
“I can’t say that you’re fine either. You have to change this habit, otherwise it’ll become a problem sooner or later.”
w.a.n.g Yao prescribed him some simple medicine to invigorate the stomach and promote digestion. These things were actually all supplements. The main thing was for him to change his personal habits. In reality, there were quite a few illnesses that were caused by bad living habits.
“Thank you.” The old man left with a smile.
w.a.n.g Yao reckoned that it would be very difficult for the old man to change his living habits after he had returned home. As a result, his condition would worsen after a period of time.
The second old man’s illness was more serious. He had a severe senile foot chilliness. His legs would hurt when he walked. It was slightly better during the warmer days. Now, the weather was cold. He only felt that his legs were cold and painful. He did not really dare to move when he walked.
This was a typical case in which the cold had injured the veins in the legs. The illness was very mild and it could be treated by using decoction.
“I’ll give you a ma.s.sage first.”
w.a.n.g Yao then surged his neixi and ma.s.saged the old man’s legs. As he did, the old man felt where w.a.n.g Yao’s hands pa.s.sed over were warm. It was very relaxing. This feeling was more effective than using a hot water bag to apply a hot compress. Not only that, the tingling pain in his legs had also disappeared.
“How do you feel?”
“I feel great. It’s really relaxing,” the old man answered.
“That’s good then.”
w.a.n.g Yao gave him a simple formula. It was a medicine to expel the cold. In addition, the Chinese mugwort had to be boiled with water and he had to use it to soak his legs.
“This medicine is for a treatment process.”
“Dr. w.a.n.g, I’ve used the Chinese mugwort that’s boiled with water to soak my legs, but it isn’t very effective.”
“Try again in conjunction with the medicine. Come to me again if there isn’t an effect after a month,” w.a.n.g Yao replied.
“Okay. I’ll give it a try again,” the old man responded.
In fact, some people’s illnesses had not improved or even worsened after seeing a doctor. One of the main reasons was that they simply did not follow the doctor’s advice. It was either that they did not take the medicine on time, or they did not pay any attention to what they were supposed to be careful of. These things could not be controlled by doctors. It mainly depended on one’s self-control and the constraints of the family.
The third person was the youngest among the people who came this morning. He seemed to be just over 40 years old. By looking at his outfit, he seemed to be a successful man.
“h.e.l.lo, where do you feel unwell?”
The person did not speak. He seemed to be hesitating and pondering. w.a.n.g Yao was not in a rush, so he just waited.
“Umm, my desire in that aspect is stronger,” he spoke after being silent for a while.
After saying this, his face flushed even more. It was actually something that was very difficult to be brought up. He had gone to the hospital, but the doctors there just used examinations, such as blood test, urine test, color ultrasound and electrocardiogram. He always felt that those examinations were not relevant to his illness at all. The examinations did not produce any results. They only prescribed him some medicine to calm his nerves. What kind of a joke was this? The medicine did not work at all.
According to his current needs, he had to do it three times a day. His wife could not stand it. However, if he did not do it, he would feel unwell, as if his body was on fire. He felt extremely unwell from head to toe. He wasn’t helpful in doing anything and he would get angry easily. This had caused him and his wife to have some problems. If this went on, he was worried that it would become even worse. He found this place by hearing it from others.
“Strong?!”
w.a.n.g Yao saw that his eyes were mad. His breathing seemed to be a little short and his face was flushed. This was a symptom of the Yang energies being too vigorous.
“I’ll have a look.”
After checking his pulse, w.a.n.g Yao discovered that the man’s condition was somewhat similar to Sun Yunsheng’s condition, but it was a lot milder.
“I’ll give you a treatment.”
w.a.n.g Yao asked the patient to take off his s.h.i.+rt and jacket. Then, he gave him a treatment by using his unique method. He sucked the yang toxins in the man’s channels and collaterals into his own body. The toxins were frittered away by his pure neixi.
At the beginning of the process, the man did not feel anything special. He gradually felt that his back was warm and it became somewhat hot, as if he was being grilled. However, the “fire” burned outwards from the inside of his body.
Fortunately, there were only the two of them in the medical center at that time. If other people were present, they would definitely be shocked by his unique treatment method, just like the middle-aged man was feeling at that moment.
The process lasted for more than an hour.
“How do you feel?”
“I feel a lot better,” the middle-aged man responded.
Before the treatment, he always felt that his body was hot from time to time. His mouth was parched and his tongue was scorched. Drinking water did not help. Moreover, he often thought about that thing uncontrollably. He felt a lot calmer now, even if it was just temporary.
“Thank you,” the person said very sincerely. His body had never felt this good before during this period of time.
It was just that the treatment really was too magical. It subverted his cognition.
What’s this? Is it the legendary qigong?
“Today’s treatment will end here. Why don’t we have a chat?” w.a.n.g Yao said with a smile.
“Sure.” The man nodded his head after being startled.
In fact, w.a.n.g Yao was already very curious when he was treating Sun Yunsheng’s strange illness. How had he contracted this strange illness?
w.a.n.g Yao asked him some questions, such as when his body felt unwell and what special hobbies and living habits he usually had. He recorded some possible problems while asking.
After inquiring, he found out that there was nothing special, except that he liked to eat some food that was high in heat content. The other point was that he was full of vitality although he had reached the middle age. This was a characteristic of his personal const.i.tution.
“Are you a businessman?”
“Yes, I am. I’m in the business of selling tea leaves.”
“Are you under pressure?”
“Not really. I’m not very pressured.”
“Then, do you usually like to drink tea?”
“Not really,” the man answered honestly.
The two of them chatted like they were friends.
“Okay. I got it.”
w.a.n.g Yao only prescribed him a formula after pondering for quite a while. The formula was mainly based on bamboo leaves, peach kernel, honeysuckle, field thistle, and other blood-cooling medicinal herbs.
“Take this medicine and consume it. See the list inside for the specific instructions of consumption.”
Not only did he write down the method of consuming the medicine on the list, but he also wrote down the things that he had to pay attention to.
The man left after expressing his grat.i.tude.
He’ll still come back, w.a.n.g Yao thought to himself secretly. This was because his problem had not been completely solved. w.a.n.g Yao also did not find out the root cause of his strange illness.
“Is this considered as a difficult-to-treat illness?”
No.
This was the system’s reply.
