Chapters 38-40: The Nine Mysterious Clouds Massage

  Zhang Wenzhong reached out and pinched a golden needle, the dragon-shaped buckle on the needle still felt pretty good. He nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, thank you Old Yue."

  "What are you thanking me for? If anyone should be thanked, it's me." Yu Zimin hastily waved his hand, then placed the box in his right hand on the counter and opened it himself, saying: "I don't know if you'll need it or not, but I brought it anyway."

  Zhang Wen-zhong took a look and said with some surprise, "Oh, this is a set of bronze nine needles, and it was made during the early Qing dynasty. Hmm, later on, we can indeed use one or two of them. Old Yue, these gold needles and these nine needles are all antiques, I suppose they are family heirlooms passed down in your Yue family."

  The so-called nine needles refer to the general term for the nine types of needles in the "Huangdi Neijing". These nine types of needles are: straight needle, round needle, flat needle, sharp needle, triangular needle, round and sharp needle, fine needle, long needle, and large needle. Their shapes and lengths are different, and they are used to treat different diseases. Currently, it is very likely that Zhang Wenzhong will use the round needle.

  Yue Zimin nodded and said with a sigh, "Yes, these things are all our family heirlooms. Originally, our Yue family was known for its acupuncture skills that had been passed down through generations. However, as the solid foundation and nourishing the origin needling technique was lost, our family's focus gradually shifted to traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions."

  Zhang Wenzhong had already wiped down the golden needle. He signaled for Zhao Linyi to lie face up on the hospital bed.

  Zhang Wen-zhong pinched a few golden needles, quickly and accurately inserting them into Zhao Lin-yi's Qihai point, Guanyuan point, Zhongji point, Sanyinjiao point and several other acupoints. He also used the Feizhen Xingqi method to allow the qi to pass through the meridian points and directly reach the affected area, thereby achieving a therapeutic effect.

  Supple and difficult to control, the golden needle has been a headache for many doctors past and present. However, in Zhang Wen-zhong's hands, it is obedient and docile, fully bringing out the suppleness of gold.

  "Green dragon swings its tail, white tiger shakes its head, blue turtle explores the cave, red phoenix welcomes the source..."

  Yue Zimin didn't even blink, staring intently at Zhang Wenzhong's acupuncture techniques, afraid that if he blinked, he would miss this wonderful scene. The acupuncture techniques displayed by Zhang Wenzhong made him surrender again, and he sincerely exclaimed: "I didn't know the Fei Zhen Walking Qi Four Methods could be used like this, today I can be said to have opened my eyes and seen it. It's really amazing, really amazing!"

  Half an hour later, Zhang Wen-zhong finished administering the acupuncture and pulled out the golden needles stuck in Zhao Lin-yi's body.

  It was at this time that Li Wan personally carried a small ceramic bowl with hot steam, walking quickly into the sickroom.

  "Have you made the medicine according to my request? Should I feed it to her now?" Li Wan held the medicine and walked to the bedside, looking at Zhao Linyi tightly hugging the pillow, and couldn't help but pause for a moment.

  "What's going on?" Li Wan put the medicine on the cabinet, puzzled and said, stretching out her hand to grab the pillow that Zhao Linyi was holding. "Come on, Zhao Linyi, drink the medicine."

  After seeing Zhao Linyi's face flushed, Li Wan couldn't help but exclaim: "How did your face get so red? Even your lips are no longer pale and are full of blood color."

  Due to excessive blood loss, Zhao Linyi's face had always been very pale. Even at the beginning, when she was flushed with shame, the red color was dull and lusterless. But now, the red on Zhao Linyi's face was completely different from before. This delicate redness was clearly a sign that her vital energy and blood had returned to normal.

  Li Wan turned around and looked at Zhang Wen, asking in surprise: "What did you just do to her? In just half an hour, how could her illness have taken a turn for the better?"

  Chen Wanrong and her husband had been accompanying their daughter in the hospital room all along, but they didn't understand medicine after all, so they hadn't noticed that their daughter's condition had taken a big turn for the better under Zhang Wenzhong's treatment for half an hour. At this moment, the two people who were worried and nervous suddenly heard Li Wan's words and were overjoyed.

  "Dr. Zhang, is what Dr. Li said true? Has Yier's condition really taken a turn for the better?" Chen Wanrong asked with a trembling voice, full of expectation.

  "Zhao Linyi's hemophilia is now under control, but not yet cured." Zhang Wenzhong replied, "Further treatment is still needed."

  At this moment, Chen Wanrong was extremely polite to Zhang Wenxiang. She nodded repeatedly and said: "Good, good, then trouble you to take more care."

  After discovering that Zhao Linxi's condition had shown signs of improvement under Zhang Wenzhong's treatment, Li Wan also became very curious about Zhang Wenzhong's treatment methods. She couldn't wait to see if Zhang Wenzhong could really cure the strange blood collapse disease that Zhao Linyi was suffering from.

  Chen Wanrong walked over, took the ceramic bowl from Li Wan's hand, and carefully fed the brown medicinal soup into Zhao Linyi's small, delicate mouth with a spoon.

  Standing beside the hospital bed, Zhang Wenzhong waited until Chen Wanrong finished feeding the medicine and retreated before unbuttoning the three buttons on the lower part of Zhao Linyi's patient gown again, exposing her white and flat abdomen once more.

  "What... what else do you want me to do?" Zhao Linyi was extremely embarrassed.

  "This is my last treatment for you, using massage to adjust your physiological functions and achieve an auxiliary therapeutic effect." He spread his hands out and gently placed them on Zhao Linyi's abdomen.

  Zhang Wenzhong's hands began to move, and with a special technique and rhythm, he started massaging Zhao Linyi's abdomen in a slow and rapid, light and heavy manner.

  "Could it be...?!" Looking at Zhang Wen's adopted massage technique, Yue Zimin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he exclaimed in a low voice: "Yun Liu Mo?!"

  Li Wan, also from a medical family, lit up and exclaimed excitedly: "That's right! This posture, this technique is exactly the same as the records. It should be the legendary Cloud Hand Six Molding that has been lost for ages! I never thought that in my lifetime, I would actually see the revival of Cloud Hand Six Molding!"

  "Tonifying and nourishing with the 'Gu Ben Pei Yuan' needle technique, observing the eight Qi methods, reconnecting bones and tendons by hand...and there's also this 'Yun Liu Mo' massage...Good heavens, these legendary, long-lost medical techniques, how many more does he know?" Yue Zimin was shocked, his mouth dry and tongue parched. "Perhaps I should put it another way...what medical technique is it that he doesn't know?"

  Li Wan observed for a while, then exclaimed: "Wait, Old Yue, it doesn't seem like the usual Cloud Six Massage. There are several moves in his technique that aren't recorded in the classics, but they seem to be even more brilliant than the other six moves. What... what kind of massage is this?"

  "Huh?" Yue Zimin's eyes widened, staring at Zhang Wen's technique without blinking. Indeed, there were a few moves that were more brilliant than the others, and yet they were not recorded in any classics. "What is this move?"

  "This is Cloud Nine Massage!" said Zhang Wen Zhong without turning his head while massaging.

  "What's going on with the Nine Clouds?" asked Yue Zimin and Li Wan in unison.

  Zhang Wenzhong nodded and said, "Yes, what you're talking about is the remnants of Yun Jiu Mo, not too impressive."

  "Isn't rubbing clouds and six strokes considered high-level?" Yu Zimin and Li Wan exchanged a glance, both of them couldn't help but smile wryly. Such boastful words, probably only this young doctor in front of us would dare to say... However, rubbing clouds actually has nine strokes...

  Yue Zimin and Li Wan exchanged a glance, both of them stopped talking, only staring intently at Zhang Wenzhong's hands, unwilling to miss any scene. They wanted to see how this Cloud-pressing technique would turn out to be so extraordinary.

  Traditional Chinese massage has a long history, dating back to the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period when it had already become mature. Bian Que, a famous doctor in the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, once used massage techniques to cure Guo Zidu's sudden loss of consciousness due to severe illness!

  Zhang Wen-zhong's legendary massage technique, "Cloud Nine Massage", is said to have been created by Tang Dynasty Daoist Ma Xiang. Ma Xiang was also a famous figure, recorded in both historical books and the "Continued Biographies of Immortals". He was said to be an immortal who achieved spiritual enlightenment through self-cultivation.

  At that time, Zhang Wenzhong met Ma Xiang on the banks of Daming Lake while practicing Taoism. The two were both medical practitioners who had turned to Taoism, so they naturally hit it off. They decided to brew some wine and admire the lotus flowers in the summer rain on the banks of Daming Lake. During this time, the two engaged in intense discussions and exchanges about their experiences in Taoist practice and medicine. It was also during this period that Zhang Wenzhong learned from Ma Xiang the magical massage technique that would make him famous - Yunjiu Jiumo!

  At present, Ma Xiang is still in the immortal realm, closed for cultivation. Throughout the world, only Zhang Wenzhong understands this Cloud Nine Massage technique.

  Yue Zimin and Li Wan didn't dare to breathe heavily, they stared at Zhang Wenzhong with wide eyes. Being able to witness the legendary Cloud Nine Massage with their own eyes was a dream of many doctors throughout history. Yue Zimin and Li Wan were no exception, which was why they cherished this experience so much.

  After massaging Zhao Linyi's hands for a moment, Zhang Wenzhong finally stopped.

  "Dr Zhang, how is Yier's condition?" Chen Wanrong asked with a mix of anxiety and anticipation as she took two steps forward.

  Zhang Wen Zhong smiled calmly and replied, "Zhao Lin Yi's menstrual bleeding has stopped for the time being. Later, you can take off the extra-large adult diaper she is wearing. Covering up the diaper stained with menstrual blood can easily cause skin damage."

  "Has the bleeding stopped? Good, good, this is really great. Dr. Zhang, thank you, I'm really so grateful to you." Chen Wanrong was overjoyed and even choked back tears. After thanking Dr. Zhang a few times, she hastily rushed to the bedside and asked about Zhao Linyi's current condition.

  "Doctor Zhang, thank you so much." Zhao Zhuo Kai quickly walked to the front of Zhang Wen Zhong's body, tightly grasped his hands and shook them vigorously.

  "Please don't be polite, saving lives and treating injuries is what we doctors should do, I just did my duty."

  "No matter what, I must thank you." Zhao Zhuo Kai said sincerely. "Don't worry, this afternoon, I will go to the university hospital in Yongcheng University with Wan Rong and apologize to you and Dr. Lin seriously."

  "Alright, we'll wait for you." Zhang Wenzhong nodded and said.

  Zhao Zhuo Kai apologized to Zhang Wen Zhong, released his hand and quickly walked to the bedside. He and Chen Wan Rong were both very fond of their daughter.

  Yue Zimin and Li Juan walked over at this time.

  "Director Li, did you keep that prescription I wrote out earlier?"

  "It's staying." Li Wan nodded and said.

  "From today on, according to that prescription, decoct it three times a day and give it to Zhao Linyi to drink. On the third day, you can remove the dragon bone, mussel, and other medicinal materials, and only use the Buzhong Yiqi Decoction, and continue to have her take it for another three days. After five days, Zhao Linyi's illness will be completely cured, and she can be discharged from the hospital at that time."

  "Alright, I know." Li Wan hastily nodded.

  If it were an hour ago, Zhang Wen Zhong had instructed her to do so, she would not have listened and even thought that this young man was impolite. But now, after witnessing Zhang Wen Zhong's incredible medical skills, Li Wan clearly understood that her own medical skills were far inferior compared to Zhang Wen Zhong's. Therefore, she obediently followed Zhang Wen Zhong's instructions with a willing heart.

  "The rest of the things, let you guys handle it, should be no problem." Zhang Wen Zhong took out his phone from his pocket and checked the time, it was already 12:45. "I have to go, I still have to go to work this afternoon. See you later, everyone."

  "Wait, Mr. Zhang, don't be in a hurry to leave." Yue Zimin said hastily: "Today you have helped our hospital again, and we are truly grateful. It's already lunchtime now, so why not eat lunch before leaving?"

  "Right, right, I'll be the host and invite Dr. Zhang and all of you doctors." Zhao Zhuo Kai also rushed to offer to treat them.

  Zhang Wenzhong smiled and shook his head, declining: "I appreciate your kind intentions, but today is really not possible. I still have some personal matters to attend to, let's talk another day." After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the ward with big strides.

  After Zhang Wenzhong left, Yue Zimin and Li Wan also left the ward.

  As he walked out of the VIP ward, Yue Zimin's face was filled with guilt. He let out a soft sigh and said, "The car accident two days ago was only saved thanks to Mr. Zhang's help, saving the lives of two critically ill patients. And today, it was again thanks to Mr. Zhang's help that we were able to cure Zhao Linyi's hemorrhagic shock. To think about it, our hospital really owes Mr. Zhang a lot. Ah, I originally wanted to give Mr. Zhang some economic compensation as a thank you, but he refused. However, every time I think about how he helps us voluntarily, I feel extremely guilty. You know, from my observation, his life isn't very affluent either."

  "A doctor like him is indeed a role model for our generation. Ah, I've thought of a way." Li Wan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly pulled Yue Zimin, saying: "Deputy Director Yue, aren't you the doctoral supervisor at Yongcheng University Medical College? Why don't you let Dr. Zhang be your teaching assistant? That way, Dr. Zhang can have an extra income every month. I think Dr. Zhang shouldn't refuse such a thing, right?"

  Yue Zimin's eyes lit up, and he nodded: "Ah, your approach is quite good. Alright, let's do it as you said. I'll call Mr. Zhang later, and if he agrees, I'll go to Yongcheng University Medical College this afternoon to finalize the matter."
