Hearing Ye Bufan's words, Lu Qingzhi stood up immediately, a look of excitement flashed across his face, but he soon regained his composure.
"Young man, if you want to buy my house, just relying on sensationalism is useless."
After calming down, he thought Ye Bufan was just bragging and wanted to buy his Xinglin Garden.
There is no way that such a young doctor can surpass himself in medical skills, let alone cure his own daughter.
Ye Bufan said with certainty: "Mr. Lu, I am not trying to flatter others, nor am I bragging. The disease of Pinellia ternata can indeed be cured."
Lu Qingzhi looked at him with stern eyes. Seeing that his eyes were full of confidence, he couldn't help but asked doubtfully: "Are you sure?"
"Sure!"
"Then tell me, what disease does my daughter have?"
Ye Bufan said: "Pinellia ternata is not a physical disease, but..."
Before he could finish speaking, an excited voice sounded at the door, "Uncle 6, I'm here."
The three people followed the sound and saw a young man in his twenties or eighty-year-old excitedly walking in from the outside, wearing a robe and holding a medicine box in his hand.
"Xiao Rui, when did you come back?"
Lu Qingzhi recognized the person who came, it was Cao Rui, the grandson of his old friend Cao Qinghua.
"I have been studying at the headquarters of Baicaotang in the imperial capital for three years, and now I have finally returned from my studies." Cao Rui said excitedly, "Uncle Lu, I am here to treat Pinellia ternata."
"Treat Pinellia ternata?" Lu Qingzhi shook his head, "Your kind uncle understands it, but your grandfather is helpless about Pinellia ternata's disease, so what can you do?
Not to mention that you have been studying in the imperial capital for three years, even if you study for another thirty years, you may not be able to do anything."
He was telling the truth. Neither he nor Cao Xinghua's medical skills could cure Lu Banxia. Cao Rui, a young man, could not be better than the two old men no matter how high his medical skills were.
Cao Rui still said excitedly: "Uncle Lu, you don't know, I just learned the thirteen needles to dispel evil spirits from my grandpa, so I dare to say that I can cure Pinellia ternata."
"What, you know how to drive away evil spirits with the Thirteen Needles? This is impossible, even your grandfather can't do it. If he could, he would have treated Pinellia ternata long ago. Will it be your turn?"
Cao Xinghua and Lu Qingzhi had a good relationship and had discussed Lu Banxia's condition many times before. They finally determined that it was not a physical disease, but probably due to the evil spirit.
Although the two people were aware of this, they only inherited ordinary medical skills and had no way to expel evil spirits.
They had seen the Thirteen Needles to Exorcise Evil in ancient books, but they had only heard of the name. This magical acupuncture technique had been lost for many years.
Cao Rui said: "Uncle Lu, don't you know that you have been guarding Pinellia ternata recently? My grandfather found his senior brother and learned the thirteen needles to drive away evil spirits from there, and passed them all on to me."
Ye Bufan had been watching from the side. When he passed on the Thirteen Needles to Exorcise Evil to Cao Xinghua, he did not ban it from spreading to outsiders. On the contrary, he encouraged it to be passed on, so he was not surprised by Cao Rui's statement.
Lu Qingzhi said with some doubts: "What you said is true, then why didn't your grandpa come?"
Cao Rui said: "Grandpa is still in retreat and said that he still needs to learn the important medical skills passed down to him by the master, so I came here alone to treat Pinellia ternata."
"Great, that's great."
Lu Qingzhi immediately became excited, took Cao Rui's hand and said, "Come with me quickly."
Over the years, he has been trying to find ways to treat his daughter's illness, and today he finally saw hope.
Compared to Ye Bufan, who didn't know the details at all, he certainly believed in his old friend's grandson. After all, he came from a family of traditional Chinese medicine.
The two people entered Lu Banxia's room. Qin Chuchu glanced at Ye Bufan and whispered: "Xiaofan, what should we do?"
Ye Bufan said: "Follow us and take a look."
He knew very well that Lu Banxia's illness was not caused by evil spirits entering the body at all. Even if Cao Rui could really fully understand the acupuncture technique of thirteen needles to dispel evil spirits, he would not be able to cure this disease.
However, he did not point it out directly. Whether it was Lu Qingzhi or Cao Rui, even if he said it, it would be impossible to believe it.
Moreover, Cao Rui was not afraid of tigers as a newborn. He had just learned some medical skills and dared to use them indiscriminately. He should be taught a lesson.
The two of them followed into the room together. Lu Qingzhi and Cao Rui were focused on Lu Banxia and did not pay attention to the two of them.
What is a bit surprising is that Lu Banxia had roared from time to time before, but suddenly became quiet after the four people entered the door.
However, the two eyes stared at several people fiercely, as if they were not human at all, which made people shudder.
Cao Rui said: "Uncle Lu, have you seen it? Banxia's eyes are not right at all. It is completely a sign of evil spirit entering the body."
Lu Qingzhi said: "Xiao Rui, I discussed with your grandfather before that Pinellia ternata might have evil spirits entering the body, but after looking at it for so many years, there is nothing we can do."
Cao Rui said: "Uncle Lu, don't worry. Grandpa said that the master is a strange man. With the thirteen needles taught by him to dispel evil spirits, the disease will definitely be cured!"
Lu Qingzhi said: "Xiao Rui, I know what you are thinking. You liked Pinellia ternata back then. If you can cure her disease, my old man will make the decision to marry Pinellia ternata to you.
Although our two families are family friends, my previous promise is still valid, and I will also give Xinglin Garden to you."
"That's great, thank you Uncle 6!"
Cao Rui didn't care much about Xinglin Garden. What he cared about was Lu Banxia.
Three years ago, he was also one of Luo Banxia's pursuers. Unfortunately, Luo Hua was in love with him and Luo Banxia didn't like him. It was completely unrequited love.
The reason why he sneaked out this time just after learning the Thirteen Needles to Exorcise Evil was to win Lu Banxia's heart.
After speaking, he opened his medicine box and took out the needle bag from inside.
Seeing Cao Rui about to give Lu Banxia acupuncture, Ye Bufan said: "Didn't your grandfather tell you under what circumstances it is appropriate to use the Thirteen Acupuncture to Exorcise Evil?"
Cao Rui raised his head and glanced at him, and said with some dissatisfaction: "This is nonsense. Of course, you only use the Thirteen Needles to Exorcise Evil Spirits when evil spirits enter your body."
"But how do you judge whether a person has evil spirits entering his body? Don't you need to check the pulse?"
When he taught Cao Qinghua the Thirteen Acupuncture Needles to Exorcise Evil, he specifically told him that in order to use this acupuncture method, one must first master the method of diagnosing the Yin and Yang pulses. Only when this is confirmed can the acupuncture be applied appropriately.
This is also the reason why Cao Xinghua has been unable to come out of seclusion even after mastering acupuncture, because the pulse diagnosis method of Yin and Yang pulse is more complicated and difficult to master in a short time.
In front of him, Cao Rui picked up the silver needle and was about to prick it, obviously without the consciousness of diagnosing the pulse.
Cao Rui originally ran out secretly and said dissatisfiedly: "What does it have to do with you? Stand nearby and don't affect my treatment."
After saying that, he picked up a silver needle and stabbed Lu Banxia's chest.
Ye Bufan didn't stop him anymore. This kind of lunatic should suffer a lot for him. Only when he hits the south wall will he know how to turn back.
Cao Rui ignored others and inserted the first needle.
"It's too light, not strong enough."
Ye Bufan shook his head slightly. This guy clearly didn't know the Thirteen Needles to Exorcise Evils, so he came out to show off.
Cao Rui raised his head and glared at him fiercely, but said nothing. He picked up the second silver needle and stabbed him again.
