Emergency Treatment Methods (Part 1)

  Lin Heng had never seen a master like this before. Look at his expression, anxious, bewildered, dazed... and so on, all these expressions mixed together, it's really funny. But he knew that now was not the time to laugh, if he wasn't careful, his master would fall into madness, and when that happened, it would probably be the end of him too. After all, this kind of mental illness was incurable.

  Taking a deep breath, Lin Heng said: "Master, you just said that Ling Hu's illness is related to the true energy, and acupuncture and medicine are not effective. Then, since acupuncture and medicine won't work, why don't we consider treating the true energy with true energy?"

  Lin Heng's one sentence made Ping Yi stunned, and at this time, he also felt that he was really stupid just now. Ah, yes, acupuncture and medicine are not working, then use true energy, he himself is indeed a demon doctor, and has actually forgotten that he is not an ordinary doctor, but a martial arts doctor.

  That's right, ordinary doctors can't use qigong to treat people, but wandering doctors are all skilled in both. To put it this way, if you don't know how to use qigong for treatment, then you're not qualified to be called a wandering doctor. This is like Lin Heng from Fuzhou, who uses qigong for treatment, and that's the skill he learned from Ping Yizhi.

  "No, you're wrong, kid. Although the idea of using true energy to heal is correct, it's not something that can be done with your current level of skill..." Ping Yi said, shaking his head. Lin Heng saw this and cursed under his breath, continuing: "Master, just because your true energy can't cure it doesn't mean others can't. You could give us a method and let the Huashan Sect handle it themselves. After all, the Huashan Sect's Gentleman Sword is still quite famous in the martial world."

  "You're right... " Ping Yi pointed and nodded, but immediately shook his head, saying: "If that's the case, wouldn't he have been cured by someone else? No, that won't do!"

  "What a stubbornness! Lin Heng couldn't help but laugh and cry, continuing to persuade: "Master, you are a doctor, not the number one master in the world. Lao Fu's illness is both troublesome and simple. It's troublesome because his injury is severe and he doesn't have extremely strong internal energy cultivation, so it can't be cured at all. Simple, just need to find an elder with extremely strong internal energy or a technique that can dissolve the alien true energy in his body, then it can be done. This is the treatment method, why do you insist on personally curing Lao Fu?"

  "What you said makes sense!" Ping nodded in agreement, but from his expression Lin Heng could tell that he was still worried. Lin Heng couldn't do anything about it and could only let out a deep sigh, silently following behind him.

  After returning to the valley, Ping Yizhi locked him in a room. Lin Heng knew that he was going to find a way to save Linghu Cong. At this moment, Lin Heng suddenly felt a little jealous of Linghu Cong. Why did that kid have such good luck and let others treat him so well one by one?

  His face changed several times, Lin Heng suppressed the unrighteous emotions in his heart, pushed open the door and sat opposite Ping Yi. He said: "Master, one person's plan is short-sighted, two people's plan is far-sighted. What do you think? Let's discuss it together."

  Rarely, Ping Yizhi did not refute Lin Heng, but nodded and expressed his thoughts. In short, Ping Yizhi didn't have any ideas of his own, his thoughts were just what Lin Heng proposed - using true energy to treat true energy. Because he was very clear that Linghu Chong's illness really couldn't be cured by medicine or stones, the only feasible method was indeed Lin Heng's proposal. However, Ping Yizhi still wasn't willing to give up, hoping to come up with a way to save Linghu Chong without using extremely profound internal energy.

  "Master, you are indeed clever for a moment and foolish for a lifetime. Linghu Cong's illness is severe, and the true energy in his body is deep and stubborn. What you're thinking of now may be possible, but without experimentation, how can we know if it will work? I think we should find someone to experiment on." Lin Heng said his plan with no pressure at all. Ping Yi thought for a moment, yes, just thinking about it is useless, it's better to find someone to experiment on.

  Right away, Ping Yizhi got up and left, Lin Heng still sighed as he watched his back. Not long after, Ping Yizhi came back, but this time with someone in tow. Lin Heng didn't recognize the person, but he knew that this guy was definitely not a good person. Indeed, Ping Yizhi's reputation wasn't good to hear, and his title of "killing one person to save another" made people think he was like an evil demon. But if you looked closely at the people he killed, they were either scoundrels from the jianghu or corrupt officials. Such a person couldn't be called a great hero, but he was absolutely a great doctor, because not only did he cure patients, but also helped the common people.

  So Lin Heng had reason to believe that the person in Shifu's hands was not a good person, because he didn't think Shifu would take an innocent person for experimentation.

  "Disciple, you enter a true energy into his body, don't use too much force..." After saying that, he made way and let Lin Heng perform the technique, while telling him how to enter the true energy and which acupoint to target. In short, everything was done with Linghu Chong as the model.

  Very smoothly, Lin Heng injected the true energy into the person's body, making it flow in his extraordinary meridians. Ping Yi pointed to this and immediately put his hand on the person's pulse, probing the situation inside the person's body.

  "Alright, although the true energy has increased a bit, it won't hinder us..." He said, and then he carried the person to the operating table on one side, carefully examining his body, and continuously pricking him with golden needles at various acupoints, trying to find a way to expel the foreign true energy from his body. Unfortunately, no solution was found, and that person died. Ping Yi scolded loudly and immediately went out of the house again to catch people.

  Outside, the things surrounding Linghu Cong continued, while in the valley, Ping Yizhi and Lin Heng were also experimenting day and night for Linghu Cong's injury.

  Their experiments were a bit troublesome, but also smooth. The first few people were all tortured to death by them, but they also found a way to induce the true energy in the body, that is, using the true energy with golden needles to prick the acupoints. When pricking the acupoints, use the true energy to form an inverted whirlpool, inducing the alien true energy, and let it flow out from the acupoint.

  The method is correct, but for the treatment of Linghu Cong, the two are still at a loss. He has eight paths of true energy in his body, and if one path is missing, it will disrupt their balance and cause him immense suffering. The only thing that's slightly better is that they're afraid those energies won't be controlled and explode, killing Linghu Cong.

  No choice, then let's continue the experiment. With these thoughts, Ping Yizhi once again caught many people and had Lin Heng infuse them with heterologous true energy, from two paths to three paths, and then to four paths, they all solved it. It's just that for Linghu Chong's eight paths, they haven't experimented yet, and the time seems to be running out too, as the gathering at Wubagang has begun, and someone has come to Ping Yizhi's house with an explanation.

  Hearing this, Ping Yi put down his experiment and rushed to Wu Ba Gang with Lin Heng.

  Wubagang is located at the junction of Shandong and Henan provinces, east to Dongming in Shandong province, west to Dongming in Henan province. The terrain here is flat with many marshes, from a distance, Wubagang is just a small hill.

  Ping Yizhi and Lin Heng walked quickly, when they arrived at Wu Bangang, it was even more lively here, with many people outside drinking big bowls of wine and eating large mouthfuls of meat. The two men walked to the tent on the platform just in time to see some doctors examining Linghu Chong. Ping Yizhi was furious at this sight and immediately cursed: "Get out, all of you! What use are these quacks?"

  Everyone took a look at Ping Yizhi, and immediately did not dare to be careless. They immediately drove those doctors away. Ping Yizhi was also very straightforward, and brought Lin Heng to come before Linghu Chong, and gave him a pulse diagnosis.

  Actually, there's no need to take his pulse, just looking at his complexion is enough. Linghu Cong's condition has worsened compared to the last time they met. Previously, although he was severely injured, his eyes still shone with a hint of vitality, but now his eyes were dull and lifeless, clearly lacking that spark of life. Lin Heng knew this was because he had lost his love and felt there was nothing left for him in this world.

  Uneven flat one finger speech, Lin Heng opened his mouth and said: "Linghu brother, you and I are also considered friends, I understand you a little. I know that you are a man of great affection, but the world is unpredictable, some things can't be forced to come. Moreover, only when people are alive can they seek other things. Now, your face has no vitality, obviously with a dead will, is this what a big man should do?"

  "Not bad!" Ping Yizhi heard Lin Heng's words, smiled and praised a sentence, then looked at Linghu Chong with an unpleasant face, scolding: "Last time I took your pulse, you still had a trace of anger, but now? You little brat, others are so good to you, but you don't cherish your life at all, it's really worth beating! Hmph!"

  Linghu Chong sighed bitterly, what could he say now, whatever he said was useless anyway.

  Lin Heng also knew that his few words could not untie Linghu Cong's knot, the best way was to let Ren Yingying come, and only by him moving Linghu Cong could he give birth to living hope. However, for the sake of his master, he couldn't do nothing at all.

  "Lang Hua, I'll be honest with you too. We want to save you because someone else asked us to. I don't know who that person is either, but judging from Master's expression, that person must have helped Master a lot, or he wouldn't be so anxious. Do you know what we've been doing all this time?" Lin Heng's calm face made Lang Hua somewhat surprised, and at first, when he saw Ping Yizhi, he thought it was Lin Heng who had asked for it, but now it seems there is someone behind the scenes.

  "This period of time, I and my master have been experimenting non-stop and have already achieved some results. Before we came here, we had already completed the experiment of simultaneously expelling four kinds of heterogeneous true energy. This method is useful in our opinion, it's just that your physical condition is complicated, so we don't have enough confidence to treat you for now. However, if you can hold on a little longer, my master and I will definitely be able to find a way to cure you. I think no one would doubt this."

  As he spoke, Lin Heng proudly raised his head and swept a glance around with a pleased expression. Everyone nodded hastily in response. Although they were intimidated by Ping Yizhi's prestige, they were all sincere in their agreement, for Ping Yizhi's strength was evident to all, and no one would dare to doubt it.

  "Brother Lin, Linghu Chong thanks you and your master, but I..."

  Before Linghu Chong could finish speaking, Lin Heng immediately interrupted him and said: "Brother Linghu, take a look at these friends around us. They all came here to help you. Even if you really don't want to live anymore, can't you try your best for our sake? Moreover, even if we really can't come up with a cure in a short period of time, we have other methods that are faster, the only thing is that they're a bit more difficult."

  "Oh? Does Ping Yizhi still have a way?" Lin Heng's words made everyone curious. Ping Yizhi heard this and smiled awkwardly, glancing away with a hint of embarrassment, but Lin Heng seemed oblivious and continued: "That's right, from the beginning my master said that Lao Fu's illness is due to true energy, and cannot be cured by medicine. In my master's opinion, since medicine can't cure it, then use true energy to treat it. My master and I discussed for half a day and came up with two methods. One is to find a senior expert with strong internal power to dispel the foreign true energy in Lao Fu's body. Such seniors are rare in the martial arts world, but there happens to be one person who can save Lao Fu..." At this point, Lin Heng winked at Linghu Chong, who immediately thought of who he was talking about. However, Linghu Chong didn't plan on going back because he didn't want his actions to cause the death of his Taishifu (grandmaster).

  "Secondly, find a profound internal skill to let Lenghu brother practice for one or two years. By then, not only can he dissolve the foreign true energy in his body, but also make use of it for himself. However, such an ultimate skill is rare in the Jianghu world. In order to determine its feasibility, my master and I think that apart from Shaolin Temple's Easy Muscle Classic, only the former leader Ren Wuxing's Stellar Devouring Skill has such power."
