Infinite Brilliant Scroll

Chapter 7
Three poles in the sun.

Inside the room, the instructor's upper body clothes have been taken off, old wounds and new wounds are intertwined, like flesh-colored earthworms and centipedes crawling on him.

Some important acupuncture points on the chest and back had already been given needles by Tian Gongyu, more than one needle was injected in each place, and the tails of clusters of needles were trembling.

Tian Gongyu rolled his sleeves up to his elbows, slapped a black ceramic jar to seal the mud, wiped his palms on the wet towel, passed the spirits from the bowl next to him, and put his palms together into the ceramic jar.

He had already brought a candle and lit it on the corner of the table. At this moment, his palms, which were stained with spirits and powder, swayed on the flame of the candle, and both hands burned.

Snapped! !

Tian Gongyu slapped the instructor directly with his fiery palm. It could be seen that he used a lot of strength. The muscle lines of his forearm were tense, and he rubbed and slapped again and again between the gaps of the silver needles.

Beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled on the instructor's pale face, and he clenched his teeth, apparently in severe pain, but as the slapping and rubbing progressed, the wound on his right rib and the bruise on the back of his left shoulder, Some dark red blood beads began to ooze out.

The redness and swelling of his left elbow was the result of his hasty and indirect dislocation, and the result of many times of force. After Tian Gongyu folded his palms together and rubbed it, it also calmed down a lot.

The strong medicinal smell evaporated and gradually dissipated.

Tian Gongyu quickly sealed the jar of medicinal powder, and took out some bamboo tubes, all about the thickness of a forearm and four inches in height. A layer of ointment was applied inside the tube, wrapped around the candle flame, and pressed on the instructor's body with the light of the fire .

Basically, every silver needle is covered with a bamboo tube.

The instructor couldn't bear it anymore, he groaned in pain, coughed twice, and said in order to divert attention: "I haven't seen you for a few years, your ability to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and push acupoints and collaterals is becoming more and more solid. It's a good method." what."

"Although the Boxer Regiment is gone, people have been giving me a try in the past few years. I don't even know it."

Tian Gongyu buckled the last bamboo tube, clapped his hands, shook his head and said, "Your injury is really serious, and these external medicines and acupuncture are not enough.

Fortunately, before Guan Luoyang went to Tancheng to deliver the firewood, I asked him to grab some medicine and apply it internally and externally. Together with your own conditioning, after more than a month, there should be no serious problems. "

"More than a month..." the coach murmured, and then smiled, "That young man is your apprentice, he's not bad at work, was he already trained back then, or did he lead an art investment teacher in the past few years?"

Tian Gongyu blew out the candles, cleared away the medicinal powder and spirits on the table, and said: "Then you guessed wrong, neither was it trained in the past, nor did it bring art investment teachers.

He rolled off my roof six years ago, just a kid who didn't know anything.At best, he was raised by rich people, and he is in good health. "

The coach was surprised and said: "You mean that it took him only six years to practice from ignorance to the current level?! This..."

Tian Gongyu moved a small bamboo chair, sat down on the side, put a smile on his face unconsciously, wiped his hands and said: "You can't believe it? I don't believe it yet, I didn't expect it, just after I just wanted to go back to hermit , Such an apprentice fell from the sky."

"His origin is strange enough, and he has been vague all the time, but at that time he fell and was slightly injured. When I was living here, just by looking at my steps of carrying water and chopping firewood, I realized some of the mysteries of his skills. At that time, I thought, maybe God really opened his eyes and wanted me to pass on this kung fu.”

"It's a pity, he is also a restless temper, I'm afraid one day..."

Having said that, the smile on Tian Gongyu's face disappeared, and after a moment of silence, he only sighed.

The instructor asked a few more questions, and got a general idea of ​​what Guan Luoyang had done in the past three years, and immediately said happily: "Okay! This is what a good man should do, and your apprentice is not in vain."

The excitement on his face contrasted too sharply with the helplessness on Tian Gongyu's face.

Seeing his appearance, Tian Gongyu unconsciously sighed again.

The instructor frowned and said, "Mr. Lei, why are you sighing and sighing at every turn? Back then, in the Boxers, you were the most heroic..."

Tian Gongyu interrupted him: "I'm still talking about what I did back then. The Boxers are gone long ago, and Lei Gong is gone. Now there is only a bad old man who wants to spend his old age in peace. But you are also at the age of knowing your destiny, why are you still disturbing me?" In these bloody storms?"

"Where in today's world is not a bloody storm, I don't disturb the wind and rain, and the wind and rain will come and make me drift."

When the coach said this, there was a bit of embarrassment in his tone, but it was more of a firm expression, "Besides, although the storms of the past were defeated, now there is a new wind to rise."

"After we broke up that year, I also had a period of depression, but by chance, I came into contact with the Qingtian League, and only then did I know why we lost back then."

"One is that we are a bit old-fashioned after all, and the other is that this morning is already rotten to the bone, so we can't still count on him one-ten-thousandth. If we want to restore China and resist foreign aggression, we have to learn New recruits, overthrow the court first!"

Tian Gongyu was unmoved, and asked instead: "Qingtian?"

The instructor explained: "The green is the green of the youth, and the sky is the sky that sweeps away the clouds and haze and changes the sky."

Tian Gongyu said: "But you and I are not young anymore."

"We used to be."

The instructor said with emotion, "Even if you are old today, what if you use this old body to help them?"

The instructor paused, looked at the house that already had many traces of life, and said, "I don't have to drag you to work hard, but I don't want to listen to what you just said... hey, don't persuade me, I will Don't try to persuade you, we are still old brothers. By the way, you said that Luoyang was going to grab the medicine. What kind of medicine did you catch? It won't attract the attention of interested people, right?"

Back then, it was a life-and-death friendship, and since the coach changed the subject, Tian Gongyu tacitly let go of what happened just now.

"Don't worry, my waist has been bad these years, and I have to take medicine often. The medicines he took are not much different from the old prescriptions. After I come back, I will pick and match them again, and no one will notice. .”

Tian Gongyu said, "There are some old men in Tancheng who have a good family background and have problems with their waists and legs. I have recommended similar prescriptions to them. Everyone has been taking these medicines for a long time. Can't find anything."

The instructor responded: "That's good."

Originally, life-and-death friends reunited after a long absence, and they should have a lot to say, but the disagreement just now made them a little bit at a loss what to say.

When Tian Gongyu got up and came to remove those bamboo tubes and silver needles for the instructor, the instructor said, "What day is it today?"

Tian Gongyu recalled it for a while, and said, "About September nineteenth."

"September nineteenth."

The instructor repeated it, wiped the sweat off his face, and said, "Then it seems that I will stay here for three or four days at most."
