Chapter 140: Yi Yi's Miraculous Method of Restoring Health
After dealing with Su Jingyan's funeral, the days seemed to be washed away by a rainstorm. The inextricable sorrow and troubles completely disappeared as the rain dissipated, and life returned to peace.
The morning light slowly parted the layers of heavy clouds, and the fine rays of light were like golden threads, shining through the carved wooden window lattices of the medical hall and scattering gold fragments on the ground, mottled and sparkling, making people feel warm in their hearts.
I raised my hand and slowly pushed open the mottled and weathered door of the medical clinic, which was full of traces of time. The breeze, carrying the unique fragrance of plants, rushed into my arms like a lively elf, and the familiar breath penetrated my lungs, as if the haze before had never existed, and there was only warm sunshine in the future.
In the medical hall, the two apprentices, Xia Ruoxi and Xin Xin, were skillfully sorting medicinal materials. Various herbs were piled up and the aroma of medicine wafted in the air, making the atmosphere in the room even more quiet and peaceful.
Hearing the door open, the two men stopped in unison, straightened their backs, stood up neatly, and shouted in unison: "Good morning, Master, good morning, Doctor Luo!"
Their eyes were sparkling, and their voices were filled with anticipation and joy.
"How are you doing lately?" I asked softly with a smile, my eyes full of concern. I raised my hand and waved gently, signaling them to get back to the things at hand. I walked steadily towards the medical record cabinet next to the clinic.
While looking through the medical records, my brows unconsciously furrowed slightly. I was delayed by Su Jingyan's matter a few days ago, and there was a backlog of patients.
After reading the patient files, I took a quick look at the business report and saw a slight surplus. My heartstrings, which had been tense for a long time, finally relaxed a little. For me, as long as I can maintain the normal operation of the clinic and fulfill the original intention of curing diseases and saving lives, I will be satisfied.
As a descendant of Yi medicine with "open eyes and keen ears", in the past two years since I came down the mountain, with my dedicated practice day after day, my cultivation has become more and more profound, and my medical skills have become more and more perfect. My reputation has spread far and wide, attracting patients from all walks of life, especially those suffering from difficult and complicated diseases, who regard me as their last straw.
The morning light had not yet completely faded, but a line had already formed outside the clinic.
I took a deep breath, calmed myself, and went to meet the patient with my two apprentices, thus starting this busy and fulfilling day.
The door of the medical clinic was slowly pushed open, and the old door panel made a long "creaking" sound, breaking the original tranquility in the room.
A middle-aged man walked in with heavy steps. He was so thin that he seemed to be blown down by a gust of wind. His back was slightly hunched, his face was pale and sallow, and his eye sockets were sunken with bloodshot veins crisscrossing inside.
As soon as he entered the room, the man subconsciously clutched the corners of his clothes with both hands, his knuckles turning white from excessive force. He spoke in a trembling voice, "Doctor Luo, please save me! As soon as I close my eyes at night, the nightmares can't stop. They come pouring in continuously. The faces of my deceased relatives are all in my dreams. Every time I wake up, the cold sweat soaks the bedding, and my heart beats like a drum. I can't sleep all night long."
I walked over quickly, helping him sit steadily on the chair with both hands, poured him a cup of steaming hot tea, and said softly, "Don't panic, talk slowly, I'm here."
As I spoke, my fingers skillfully placed themselves on his pulse, which was weak, intermittent, and very disordered.
At this moment, I calmed my mind, called up the spiritual power in my body, and opened my "third eye".
His gaze seemed to come to him with a stroke of genius as he lightly touched the man's face. His forehead was dark, just like dark clouds covering the sun. This was a sign of impending disaster.
The Yin energy in the Life Palace is in line with the Three Yin Soul Locking Force, which is extremely dangerous.
Gently twisting the birth date on the hand, the five elements are in opposition and the stems and branches are in conflict. This is a rare coincidence. There is no time to lose and we must find a way to solve it quickly.
"Is your bedroom facing the mirror and your bed next to the window?" I looked straight into his frightened eyes with a gentle look.
The man was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily.
I patiently explained, "The house's feng shui and numerology are incompatible, attracting negative energy. This is detrimental to both health and fortune, and needs to be adjusted as soon as possible. A mirror is considered Yin in the Five Elements, and facing the bed acts as a hidden channel for Yin energy to flow back, constantly reflecting negative energy and attacking those who rest. Windows, on the other hand, are ventilation openings, with frequent airflow, creating drafts. The combination of these two factors disrupts the bedroom's aura, unbalancing the aura throughout the body."
"When you go back and make the changes, first remove the mirror facing the bed in the bedroom. Not only should you remove the object, but you should also fumigate the surrounding area with mugwort to dispel any remaining negative energy. The placement of the bed is crucial to the overall situation. The head of the bed must be against a load-bearing wall in the home. This is called 'having a backer' in feng shui, as it stabilizes the foundation of the aura and provides confidence. The foot of the bed should never face directly towards doors or windows, as these are pathways for air to flow in and out. If these are in conflict, negative energy can flow in and easily deplete vital energy. Ideally, the bed should be placed in a north-south orientation, following the geomagnetic direction. This aligns with the laws of the magnetic field and helps promote restful sleep."
When it comes to the five elements remedies, there are many things to pay attention to.
"The southeast corner of the bedroom is the Xun position, where wood energy is generated. Place a pot of lush green plants to nourish the wood energy. The flourishing green plants will naturally fill the entire house with vitality and dissolve the heavy Yin energy. The northwest corner is the Qian position, which belongs to the metal element. Place a consecrated pure copper Qilin ornament. The Qilin will protect the house from evil spirits, and copper and gold will generate water, bringing auspiciousness and harmony. In addition, do not pile up any clutter in the center of the room. Keep it open and unobstructed to allow the Qi energy to circulate continuously. Follow this layout properly and wait for more than half a month, and the situation will gradually improve."
The man listened attentively, nodded repeatedly, a glimmer of hope lit up in his eyes. After thanking profusely, he left the clinic with trepidation and expectation.
At noon, the warm sun hangs high in the sky, sweeping away the remaining chill of winter and pouring down a vibrant light.
Although the Chinese New Year has just passed and spring has just quietly arrived, the sunlight has already accumulated a lot of heat, covering the earth with warmth.
The air is filled with the unique vigor and vitality of spring. Occasionally, a breeze blows by, carrying the green scent of new grass and trees, gently lifting the corners of clothes, making you feel comfortable and pleasant.
A young woman, supported by her family, walked into the medical clinic with difficulty. With every step she took, her brows tightened, her knees trembled, her teeth clenched, and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. It was obvious that she was in great pain.
"Doctor Luo, I've had bone pain for several years. It's sometimes hot and sometimes cold. When it's rainy, the pain is even worse, as if countless needles are piercing my bones. But I went to the hospital for a check-up, but they couldn't find anything wrong with me. I've taken a lot of medicine, but it's no use at all." The woman's eyes were red, and her voice was full of grievance and helplessness.
I quickly asked her to sit down, gently held her wrist to feel her pulse, and I felt a chill running through my bones.
After she sat down, I touched the pulse on her wrist with my fingertips. In an instant, it was as if a secret icy realm was opened, and a biting chill surged over me.
I narrowed my eyes slightly and tried to deduced her birth date and time, but I saw that the trajectory of her numerology energy was dim, with cold energy entangled and stagnant.
Her spiritual roots were naturally water-related, and she was born in an extremely yin place. Yin energy filled her body, her spiritual veins were frozen, and her qi and blood were wrapped in frost, which made her illness stubborn and difficult to cure.
Ordinary methods are bound to be ineffective in such a difficult situation, but I have been immersed in medicine and spiritual arts for many years. After careful consideration, I have developed a set of exclusive conditioning methods. Although the process requires your full cooperation, it is also the ray of hope for recovery.
I gently handed a piece of paper filled with recipes to the woman.
With a solemn yet gentle expression, he patiently instructed her and her family, "You must keep this recipe safe. From now on, be sure to wear this Five Elements Regulating Amulet every day at noon. It's made of extraordinary material, crafted from pure Yang lightning-struck wood. It's been consecrated by a master, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon year-round. Its energy is pure and its effectiveness is remarkable. Don't be alarmed if your skin feels slightly warm when you first wear it; it's the amulet dispelling the coldness in your body, and this is normal."
"When the midday sun is at its hottest, find a quiet corner with excellent lighting and ventilation, perhaps a south-facing windowsill at home, or a tranquil courtyard. Sit on the floor and relax your muscles, clearing your mind of all distractions. Then, close your eyes and imagine warm golden light pouring in from above, as if the sun is bathing your whole body. As you inhale, your abdomen slowly rises, drawing in abundant yang energy. As you exhale, let the turbid air steadily descend and be expelled from the body. Repeat this cycle thirty-six times. After completing the entire routine, remain in deep silence for a moment."
"On a daily basis, you should also pay a little attention to your diet and eat more foods that are warm in nature and nourish the qi and blood. Mutton soup and red date and longan porridge are both good choices. Also, soak your feet in moxa leaves before bed to help dispel cold and dampness. With both internal and external treatments, a two-pronged approach, and persistence for a period of time, the condition will definitely improve."
The woman took the prescription, frowned slightly, her face full of confusion. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Doctor Luo, this sounds very mysterious. Can wearing an amulet, basking in the sun, and closing my eyes to daydream really cure the bone pain that has tormented me for years? Can the problem that the hospital can't find be resolved so easily? And these eating and foot soaking, do they really have such miraculous effects?" As she spoke, the doubt and worry in her eyes were beyond words. She subconsciously clenched the prescription in her hand and looked at her family beside her for help.
I patted her shoulder with a calm expression and explained in a gentle voice, "Young lady, I understand your concerns. Modern medicine struggles to diagnose the root of the illness because it's hidden within the aura of destiny. This amulet is made of pure yang lightning-struck wood, which retains the power of positive yang and can overcome cold and dampness. At noon, when the sun is at its peak, close your eyes and breathe in and out to draw in the yang energy and unblock stagnant qi and blood. Diet and foot soaking, in accordance with the harmony of yin and yang, will warm the body and dispel the cold. Many patients with similar conditions have seen their pain completely resolved after months of consistent use. Don't worry, follow these instructions, and you'll definitely see a turn for the better."
The woman bit her lip, the hesitation in her eyes fading slightly. Seeing this, her family members beside her hurriedly held her hand and gently comforted her, "Since the doctor said so, we might as well give it a try. It's always better than just enduring it." The woman took a deep breath and bowed slightly to me. "Dr. Luo, thank you for your concern. I hope it will be as you said."
After saying that, she solemnly put the prescription into her arms, and her family helped her stand up.
I gave them a few more reminders about daily taboos and watched them slowly leave.
Looking at her back, I silently prayed that this method could dispel the haze and give her a healthy life. After the door was closed, I turned around and devoted myself to the diagnosis and treatment of subsequent patients.
Next, a young couple walked into the medical hall, leaning against each other. They were haggard, their faces were pale, their eye sockets were sunken, and they had heavy dark circles under their eyes.
