"I'll let you see why the acupuncture doesn't work. You don't care if my acupuncture is rubbish or not!" Zhang Mingtuo glared at Xia Xia angrily, and then argued: "Even if the acupuncture is rubbish, it's none of your business, that's it. The ancient [Sky Burning Moon] acupuncture method."
Xia Tian took two steps forward and glanced at the person lying on the bed. He was a thin old man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties. He looked benevolent and restrained. He should be a cultivator.
At this time, the thin old man closed his eyes tightly and his breath for a long time, but he didn't die, probably because he was hanged alive by Zhang Mingtuo's acupuncture.
"Hey, master, didn't you go down the mountain to find your one hundred old lovers, why are you here?" Xia Tian asked with some puzzlement: "Could it be that this old man is one of your old lovers?"
"Get lost!" Zhang Mingtuo glared at Xia Tian, and said, "Don't talk nonsense here, this is the current head teacher Ren Daofang Ren Zhenren of Chongyang Palace, you should also pay attention to the occasion when you speak."
Xia Tian looked disapproving, and then teased: "Hey, master, I just met an old lover of yours outside, she has been looking for you for twenty or thirty years, and you hide here without telling her ? Are you ashamed?"
"You mean that Liu Xihua?" Zhang Mingtuo shook his head subconsciously, and sighed, "This woman is out of her mind. I don't have that kind of relationship with her, and I don't want to have anything to do with her."
Xia Tian smiled and said: "That's a pity, in fact, that old woman is quite nice, she is a perfect match for you."
"You know what a good match." Zhang Mingtuo glared at Xia Tian angrily, "Don't talk about what's there, hurry up and help with the business, and see what's wrong with this stitch and why it doesn't work."
Xia Tian casually glanced at all the silver needles on Ren Zhenren's body, and said lightly: "Master, I have already said that this set of needles is too rubbish."
"What do you mean?" Zhang Mingtuo was stunned for a moment, a little confused.
"This has been said clearly enough, but you still haven't understood it." Xia Tian shook his head speechlessly, "Master, did your medical skills deteriorate after you went down the mountain, or did your comprehension ability decline?"
Zhang Mingtuo said dissatisfiedly: "I think you are becoming less and less able to speak human language."
"Okay, who told you to be my master, I'll make it simpler." Xia Tian reached over and took off a small half of the silver needles on Ren Zhenren's body, and threw them aside, "This set of needles It’s just too old, so the forms are complicated and repetitive, the method of promoting qi is outdated, and many needle positions are scheming, which can’t keep up with the times.”
"Huh?" Zhang Mingtuo just wanted to refute a few words, but suddenly found that Ren Zhenren, who had long been in the state of the living dead, had recovered his breathing, and he couldn't help saying in surprise: "You are really good."
Xia Tian grinned: "Of course I can do it, I am the number one genius doctor in the world, this little thing can't trouble me."
"Okay, okay." Zhang Mingtuo saw that Ren Zhenren recovered his breathing, and gave him two more needles to maintain this state, then he winked at Xia Tian, turned and sat at the table: "Come here, let's talk. "
He greeted Ning Ruirui and Shi Chun again: "You two girls, don't be too cautious, you are all on your own, sit down."
While talking, the four of them sat down around the table.
"There's no tea or pastries here, so I've really neglected the two girls." Zhang Mingtuo looked at the small room and explained with an embarrassed smile.
Ning Ruirui waved her hand quickly: "You're welcome, we took the liberty to bother you."
"You are brother-in-law's master, the legendary ghost doctor Zhang Mingtuo?" Shi Chun looked at Zhang Mingtuo curiously, and found that although this man now has a lot of hair and beard, he has a good appearance. When he was young, he should have been able to He was a handsome guy, at least a little more handsome than her brother-in-law who always claimed to be the most handsome in the world.
Zhang Mingtuo stroked his beard and nodded with a smile: "Yes, I am Zhang Mingtuo, the master of Xia Tian. I don't know how many wives you two are my apprentices?"
"That, I'm not..." Ning Ruirui didn't expect Zhang Mingtuo to ask so directly, she couldn't help but blushed, and subconsciously wanted to explain something, but unfortunately she didn't know what to say for a while.
"You don't need to be shy, and you don't need to rush to deny it." Zhang Mingtuo grinned, stroked his palms and said, "I, as a master, don't know the temperament of my apprentice. Not only is he lustful, but he is also very demanding. Since he brings you by his side, Then you won't be able to escape."
Ning Ruirui was speechless for a moment.
Shi Chun was straightforward, and replied directly: "Uncle Zhang, my name is Shi Chun, and I am my brother-in-law's future concubine, but she is still free."
"Well, your aptitude is good, but it looks like you must have suffered from a serious illness when you were young." Zhang Mingtuo's eyes were unusually bright, but he said with a smile on his mouth: "But it's no problem, my apprentice must have helped you get rid of the root cause of the disease. See you Now that your cultivation base is not low, he should love you very much."
"Hee hee." Shi Chun laughed, and said to Zhang Mingtuo: "Uncle Zhang, your medical skills are really good, you can see that."
Zhang Mingtuo said proudly: "Nonsense, I taught this kid's medical skills. If he didn't have some real teachings from me, how could he be called a genius doctor?"
"Hey, master, can you stop blowing it?" Xia Tian curled his lips, "My medical skills surpassed yours when I was six years old. After that, I have been learning the eight-needling technique by myself, okay?"
Zhang Mingtuo felt dull for a moment, and said lightly: "I know how to give the eighth needle, but you have learned the eighth needle, otherwise, my apprentice daughters-in-law will not be able to come back."
Xia Tian was a little strange: "Hey, master, do you know about this?"
"Can't I know?" Zhang Mingtuo asked back.
Xia Tian casually asked: "Just now that idiot with thick eyebrows clearly said that you were imprisoned here ten years ago, where did you know?"
"Listen well." Zhang Mingtuo explained solemnly: "First of all, I was not imprisoned here, but came in on my own initiative; secondly, I can know the world's affairs by staying here; finally, your invitation to the Yinxian Conference I let Chongyang Palace send it."
When Ning Ruirui heard this, she couldn't help being taken aback: "Then you also sent my invitation letter, old man?"
"Don't call me old man, I'm not old yet." Zhang Mingtuo waved his hand, "You can either call me master like this boy, or call me uncle like this little girl, or you can call me whatever you want, just don't call me so old."
"Oh. Then call your uncle." Ning Ruirui said lightly, "What about the invitation letter?"
Zhang Mingtuo said with a smile: "I asked Xia Xia to send the invitation letter. I don't know yours, but most of them were sent by your acquaintances."
"It's just that among my acquaintances, there seems to be no practitioners, and they have nothing to do with Zhongnan Mountain." Ning Ruirui was puzzled.
"Little long-legged girl, in fact, you don't need to think about such things at all." Xia Tian said with a smile: "At that time, this person will appear by himself, just wait with peace of mind."
Ning Ruirui thought the same.
"Okay, Xia Tian, I'm going to talk about something serious next, you'd better listen honestly, don't think I'm joking with you." Zhang Mingtuo looked serious and looked at Xia Tian very seriously.
Xia Tian yawned lazily: "Just say what you want, there is no need to make such a show, don't you know who I am?"
"It's a very important matter, and I can't take it lightly." A hint of hesitation flashed across Zhang Mingtuo's eyes, "Actually, I wanted to find you ten years ago, but I was also very hesitant and felt that you should not be involved. , but after ten years of struggle, I feel that you may be the only one in the world who can solve this problem."
Xia Tian said with some dissatisfaction: "Master, what's the matter, you can just say it directly, what's the detour between us?"
"It's a long story, and I don't know where to start for a while." Zhang Mingtuo nodded, then fell into deep thought, and said after a while: "You should know that Zhongnan Mountain was about 120 years old. Something big happened before."
"The so-called catastrophe in the world of cultivating immortals, of course I have heard of it, and I have heard it several times." Xia Tian pouted, "However, I heard it from my personal girl Gu Hanshuang at the beginning, and I only believed what she said. If so. Master, you don’t want to talk about a new version, do you?”
"This so-called catastrophe in the world of cultivating immortals is, to put it bluntly, a group of cultivators fighting among themselves. There is nothing to talk about." Zhang Mingtuo didn't intend to tell a long story, but just mentioned a few words casually, and then got to the point, "Some of them The purpose was for the underground spiritual veins of Zhongnan Mountain, so Chongyang Palace and those people fought underground, which resulted in the rupture of the underground spiritual veins, and therefore, Chongyang Palace had no time to take care of the so-called catastrophe."
"What will happen if the underground spiritual veins are ruptured?" Shi Chun subconsciously asked with curiosity on his face.
Zhang Mingtuo sighed, and said slowly: "The underground spiritual veins, also called dragon veins in Feng Shui, are the foundation of all things in a mountain and river. If the spiritual energy is abundant, then this place will naturally be full of vegetation and outstanding people. Once the spiritual veins are broken, then the spiritual energy will It will leak out, which will not only endanger the lives of human beings on the ground, but also make this land lose all vitality after a long time, and become a dead place like Lop Nur."
Having said that, Ning Ruirui and Shi Chun understood.
"Then what happened later?" Ning Ruirui couldn't help asking.
"Chongyang Palace is the Taoist temple of Zhongnan Mountain, so it naturally has the duty to protect the spiritual veins." Zhang Mingtuo paused for a few seconds, and then said: "At that time, Master Chen sacrificed himself to block the hole where the spiritual veins burst, that is, you The person in the first sip of the alchemy cauldron."
Ning Ruirui and Shi Chun looked back at the first cauldron in the spirit veins, there was indeed an old man with white beard and hair sitting cross-legged inside.
Zhang Mingtuo pointed to the other two alchemy cauldrons: "The result is that the two later masters of Chongyang Palace, Zhenren Qin and Zhenren Lu, also chose to sacrifice their lives to block the cracks in the spiritual veins on the day when the golden alchemy was formed, in order to keep it safe. Otherwise, the people, animals, plants and trees thousands of miles above the ground will not escape the fate of withering."
At this time, Xia Tian suddenly said: "They are really too stupid, but once the spiritual vein is broken, blindly blocking it will not solve the problem."

Once the spiritual veins are broken, then the spiritual energy will It will leak out, which will not only endanger the lives of human beings on the ground, but also make this land lose all vitality after a long time, and become a dead place like Lop Nur." Having said that, Ning Ruirui and Shi Chun understood. "Then what happened later?" Ning Ruirui couldn't help asking. "Chongyang Palace is the Taoist temple of Zhongnan Mountain, so it naturally has the duty to protect the spiritual veins." Zhang Mingtuo paused for a few seconds, and then said: "At that time, Master Chen sacrificed himself to block the hole where the spiritual veins burst, that is, you The person in the first sip of the alchemy cauldron." Ning Ruirui and Shi Chun looked back at the first cauldron in the spirit veins, there was indeed an old man with white beard and hair sitting cross-legged inside. Zhang Mingtuo pointed to the other two alchemy cauldrons: "The result is that the two later masters of Chongyang Palace, Zhenren Qin and Zhenren Lu, also chose to sacrifice their lives to block the cracks in the spiritual veins on the day when the golden alchemy was formed, in order to keep it safe. Otherwise, the people, animals, plants and trees thousands of miles above the ground will not escape the fate of withering." At this time, Xia Tian suddenly said: "They are really too stupid, but once the spiritual vein is broken, blindly blocking it will not solve the problem."
