Chapter 123: Zhou Xian's Skilled Hands Heal Lori, Gu Lao Loses to the Young Lady

  When Tong Wei returned to the Jiuyang Pond, Liu Xue was standing in the water with a pair of snow-white small feet, washing her body for Xiao Yezi; this girl hadn't had such a refreshing bath in a long time, and this time she washed thoroughly, her tender skin scrubbed white and translucent red, like a shrimp that had just been peeled.

  Zhou Yi glanced at Xiao Yezi and couldn't help but secretly praise her: "Another troublemaker."

  Although Xiaoyao is still not fully developed, the first spring of her life has already outlined some elegant and refined manners that only girls have.

  Those long legs, proportionate little buttocks, have gradually changed from a baby's belly to a slender waist. This girl will grow up to be another stunning beauty, no less than Li Shaofen.

  "Uncle Zhou, the leaves are washed so comfortably, you come down and wash together too."

  "Yèzi, if you keep talking nonsense like that, Auntie will punish you. You can't be rude to Uncle Zhou." Liu Xue glared at her angrily and slapped her little butt.

  "Hehe, Auntie is jealous, Auntie's face is red."

  "You also said"

  Two beauties, one big and one small, frolic in the water, like the Spider Spirit from Journey to the West or the Seven Fairy Maidens of folklore.

  The Zhou Yi didn't care about their internal conflict and found a wide stone beam to set up the inflatable bath curtain.

  This inflatable bath curtain was something he bought on a whim when he returned from Fen Nan, which just so happened to match the "Jiuyangquan" perfectly and could be used for medicinal steaming. After inflating, it would automatically stand up, with no obstructions at the bottom to allow hot spring steam to enter, and several small holes were opened on top to prevent people inside from feeling stuffy. After standing up, it quickly filled with hot steam, just like a big steamer.

  Then Zhou Yi lit up those four small red clay stoves again, added spring water to the medicine pot, and put in the medicinal materials batch by batch.

  His timing and technique for adding herbs were also meticulous, with different herbs added at different water temperatures. Some herbs were left alone after being added, while others required vigorous stirring with a ladle; sometimes he would fan the flames to increase the heat, and other times he would close the air vent or even splash some spring water into the furnace to reduce the heat. His movements were swift and precise, often grabbing just the right amount of herbs in a single glance, leaving onlookers bewildered as if watching a magic trick. Xiaoye couldn't help but exclaim "good!" repeatedly, her face filled with admiration and envy.

  "When I grow up, I also want to be a doctor and pester Uncle Zhou every day just like Auntie does."

  Of course, this idea that was enough to make the willow catkins run wild was only hidden in the deepest part of her heart, and it would only slowly peel off as she grew up, until it suddenly burst out.

  "Alright, come over here, little leaf. Your uncle is going to start treating your illness now."

  Look, the medicine has been released, Zhou Yi extinguished the stove fire, and only used the residual heat in the stove and the warm spring mist to continue to induce the medicinal gas to fill the air bath mask. He himself rolled up his pants and walked to a shallow water area next to a bluestone slab, beckoning Yezi to come over.

  The height of the bluestone slab was just right, and Yezi lay on it with only her eyes, nose, and mouth exposed outside, while her entire delicate body was submerged in the warm water. Zhou Yi gently patted her small face and said, "Later when Uncle is treating your illness, you'll feel numbness and itchiness all over your body, can you bear it?"

  "Bring it on! The leaves aren't afraid, the leaves are strong 8-route army warriors"

  Her words made Zhou Yi burst out laughing: "Haha, if there were 8th Route Army soldiers as beautiful as Ye Zi, the leaders of the 8th Route Army would probably have a headache."

  "Why?" Although Yezi was a clever and resourceful ghost, Zhouyi's words were too abrupt and she really didn't quite understand.

  "Because our little beauty will attract more little rascals, do we want the captain to take them all in?" Zhou Yi blinked his eyes and took advantage of Yezi's relaxed moment to start "pushing the palace and passing through the blood", urging the release of her internal yuan energy.

  In the eyes of some Taoist practitioners, Zhou Yi's set of techniques has a somewhat unorthodox origin. The so-called "pushing the palace and washing away blood" is not the magical technique described in martial arts novels that can remove all poisons and wash away impurities once performed; the source of this technique actually comes from sexology, and it originates from that classic sexology text - "Su Nu Jing".

  What is Su Nu? One theory is that it was a heavenly maiden who descended and transmitted this technique to the Yellow Emperor in an extremely ambiguous way not suitable for children; another theory is that she was one of the Yellow Emperor's maids, i.e. his concubine.

  Whether it's a goddess or a little wife, the focus of mythology is on 'men and women', which is the backbone of this book, as well as its essence.

  Later generations of sex and women's experts believe that 'Su Nu' can also be understood as a representative of healthy women. How to stay healthy and not get gynecological diseases? Whether the bedroom is harmonious and life is full of fun is the most important thing.

  So pushing the palace to bleed is nothing more than promoting the circulation of blood vessels, and from a physiological perspective, it promotes the health of men and women. This is a very sacred, bright, and pure act. Anyone who thinks this issue is crooked is not righteous in heart or spirit. Such people can find darkness in the brightest places and see feces in fragrant rice porridge, and are fundamentally not worthy of discussing the Tao.

  However, after all, it is a medical method derived from Feng Shui hand techniques. With the addition of Zhou Yi's hands entering and internal energy seeping into the small leaves, especially when pushing to some important positions that girls are ashamed to mention, even the little leaves can't help but make "hehe" sounds; wanting to shout, but suddenly thinking of oneself as a brave Eighth Route Army soldier, no matter what, cannot let Uncle Zhou look down on him, and with one small face blushing bright red.

  She was just a naive little girl, but Liu Xue was a cultured and polite good girl who talked about morality and discipline. She looked on with tears in her eyes and a red face, and several times she raised her head to look at Zhou Yi with questioning, only to see him with a calm expression, as if he had already reached the state of no desires, no distinctions between self and others, no distinctions between life and death, and a heart full of kindness. Suddenly, she felt ashamed of her previous despicable thoughts.

  "Alas, being human, I and Big Brother Zhou are too far apart in our circumstances."

  Willow catkins deeply self-blamed, and began a fierce self-criticism. The more she thought, the smaller she felt herself to be, the more she thought, the higher and greater that tall figure seemed. It was as if it gradually merged into this landscape, merged into the universe, finally reaching the ultimate realm of unity between heaven and man.

  "Hmm"

  Under this 'torture' that couldn't be described as either painful or pleasant, Xiaoye only felt Zhou Shu's large hands getting hotter and hotter. Every place he touched would feel sour and swollen, numb and itchy, like a nest of ants crawling; Moreover, Zhou Shu seemed to be able to sense her 'pain', every time she was about to endure no longer, his hands would change places, finally stopping above her little butt, sometimes rubbing left, sometimes turning right, making herself feel tight on the butt at first, then numb, followed by a warm feeling below, and she had urinated.

  "Ah! Yèzi urinated on the Zhou Yi, how come her urine is black? Oh, now it's turned yellow, and the color is getting lighter and lighter."

  Willow catkins stood in the water, startled and staggering, almost slipping and falling.

  "Don't worry, the urine is fine. These days I've been using external acupuncture and internal medication to gather her kidney toxins together, but they haven't been able to be discharged smoothly yet; today, with the help of the Nine Yang Spring water, heaven and human merged to stimulate her kidney water, and after my pushing and guiding, it finally came out! This effect is far beyond dialysis."

  Zhou Yi burst out laughing, picked up the small leaf and put it into the inflatable bath curtain. At this moment, the bath curtain was filled with a misty medicinal gas, which had a faint grayish-blue color. As soon as the small leaf entered, its face became somewhat indistinct.

  "Uncle Zhou, it's so hot! I'm so hot! No, I want to go out!"

  "Don't move!"

  "Listen carefully, Yezi," said Zhou Yi in a low voice. "Hold on for a little while longer. This medicinal fog can not only help you eliminate the remaining toxins from your body but also aid in recovering your kidney function, so you won't need to undergo surgery for a transplant!"

  It's not that simple to completely cure Yezi's illness. After steaming the medicinal vapor, at most it can only clear the toxins and initially restore kidney function. From now on, she still needs to use the internal Qi operation needle method every day to recover her kidney water source, and also take medicine for at least three months. Now it's just to make her feel at ease and listen to advice.

  "Ah, the leaves don't move, the leaves are strong warriors!"

  Little Leaf began self-anesthesia

  The sun sets in the west, it's already past dinner time, and the fading sunlight shines on a few old crows perched on the wall, stretching their shadows very long.

  "Let's go!"

  A shrill shout came from the courtyard, scaring several crows into flight, circling the yard twice before landing back on the wall, looking at the big girl who had made the cry with some alarm.

  Yang Cai wore a white down jacket with a hood, looking like a snowball, and was proudly watching the gloomy face of Old Man Gu opposite her, letting out a low chuckle: "Old Man Gu, you're convinced this time, right? I don't care, you said it would count, my dad's side..."

  "This is unscientific! This isn't scientific at all!"

  Gu Zhimi stared at his defeated old general, shaking his head like a rattle drum: "Cai Yunzi, I should know your chess skills! Where did you learn these strange moves that even won against me? No, there must be a huge conspiracy behind this!"

  "Heh heh, if you agree to my request, I'll tell you."

  Yang Cai said with a mysterious face: "To be honest, this time I came to Yunshui Village, not only did I bring pickled radish for you, but also met a chess master, hehe"

  "Oh?"

  He had been expecting a development all day long, but she didn't continue, which only made him more curious: "What's next?"

  "It's all gone"

  Yang Cai looked at the old man with a pleased expression: "Unless you go to talk to my dad tomorrow, I won't tell you."

  "You go first!"

  "You go first"

  "You damned girl"

  "Being a war correspondent is that great? In the midst of gunfire and bullets, those bullets don't discriminate! Whether you're a big girl or not, if you get hit, it's considered disfiguring. Your dad didn't want you to go because he cares about you, you young people..."

  "Hey, the bullet that can hit this girl hasn't been made yet."

  Yang Cai said carelessly: "This time I'm going to Africa, it's settled! Old man"

  "Africa? I've heard of it, that place still has cannibals. Aren't you afraid of being stewed and roasted by others? I won't help with this matter."

  "Ha ha, I knew it was you even if you didn't say so. Isn't that Master Hong? I didn't expect him to not only excel in cooking but also be a master of chess. He's indeed a seeker of the Way."

  "Hmm, then you're wrong, I'm telling you, Master Hong is a blockhead, absolutely not him."

  Yang Cai hung on his stomach: "Old man, don't you want to know who this person is?"
