It should be said that although religious figures like Paul II pay more attention to rituals, they have relatively followed the straightforwardness of Westerners in handling many things, and everything is relatively concise.

When Fan Wubing said that he could start curing Paul II at any time, the two cardinals briefly discussed with Paul II, and then agreed.

"Well, Mr. Fan, then let's start now?" a cardinal said to Fan Wubing solemnly.

Fan Wubing nodded and said, "Of course, I can. Please choose a more comfortable posture for His Majesty, because when I investigate the condition, I need you to relax. This process should take about a quarter of an hour."

Fan Wubing was naturally a golden needle, prepared with both hands, and did not require any auxiliary equipment. Therefore, when he said this, Paul II and the two cardinals were a little surprised, so he asked, "Do you need some other medical equipment?"

When he was abroad, in order to cure diseases, Paul II had never seen any advanced Western medical equipment, such as large T-T, MRI, and some expensive equipment only for high-level people. Naturally, these were offered by Paul II's followers and would not charge him a penny. Despite this, some problems cannot be solved.

For example, the doctors felt helpless when Paul II discovered Parkinson's disease. This disease is generally called the most likely disease for smart people. Many politicians will experience this disease in their later years. So far, there is no effective treatment for this disease. It only relies on drugs to relieve pain.

Because he helped the old leader treat this condition, Fan Wubing is not unfamiliar with him.

Parkinson's disease, also known as tremor paralysis, is a neurological degeneration disease that is common in middle-aged and elderly people. It usually occurs after the age of 60. It is mainly manifested as patients' slow movements, tremors in their hands, feet, or other parts of the body, and their bodies lose their softness and become stiff. The earliest systematic description of the disease was the British internal medicine physician Zhan Mu. Parkinson. At that time, he did not know which type of disease the disease should be classified into, and called it tremor paralysis.

In the early stage of this disease, due to the stiffness of the arm muscles and finger muscles, the patient's limbs often cannot perform fine movements. Such as untiing the shoelaces, buttons and other actions become much slower than before, or they cannot be completed smoothly at all. Writing gradually becomes difficult, with the handwriting bent and the writing becomes smaller and smaller, which is called lowercase in medicine.

Due to the decrease in facial muscle movement, patients rarely blink and their eyes. The rotation is also reduced, and their expressions are dull, as if they are wearing a mask. Medically, they call masked faces.

It is difficult to start and step when walking. Once you start, your body leans forward and your center of gravity moves forward. The pace is small and faster and faster. You cannot stop in time. This is the so-called panic gait. During the movement, the coordinated swing of the affected limbs decreases and disappears. It is difficult to turn around. It takes several consecutive small steps to turn around.

Due to dysmomotor disorders in the mouth, tongue, jaw and pharyngeal muscles, the patient cannot swallow saliva naturally, resulting in a lot of saliva. The speech is reduced, and the voice is low and monotonous. In severe cases, it can lead to choking and coughing when eating and drinking. In the late stage of the disease, the patient cannot stand on his own after sitting down, and cannot turn over after lying in bed until he cannot take care of himself in daily life.

The clinical manifestations of Parkinson's disease are similar to those of the symptoms of "tremor", "tremor", "vibration", "internal wind", and "spasm" in traditional Chinese medicine.

"Su Wen. The Great Relic of the Truth" "All winds and dizziness belong to the liver," is an early understanding of this disease. "The "fall" means "tremor". However, "The Sutra of the Middle Way of the Chinese Sutra. The Thirty-Seventh" says, "Walking and running rapidly, the evil of yin damages the liver, and the liver loses its qi, will make people feel nervous and unable to walk and soothe." The so-called walking and running rapidly cannot soothe, just like the panic gait of Parkinson's disease.

Sun Simiao's "Preparation for Emergency and Qianjin" in the Tang Dynasty records that "Golden teeth wine" treats diseases such as "eight winds and five spasms in the accumulated years, cicadas sway, and cannot turn sideways, walking lame and frown, and cannot absorb them". These characteristics are very similar to the slow movement and gait disorders that occur in Parkinson's disease.

Sun Yikui is particularly outstanding. In "Chimhui Xuanzhu", he named the disease with tremor as the main clinical manifestation as tremor syndrome for the first time, emphasizing that tremor cannot be controlled at will, pointing out that "thumbling is the shaking of the hands and feet of people who are sick, like shaking, the tendons and veins cannot be restrained, and they cannot be held in control, which is the sign of wind." There are also scientific conclusions about the onset age and prognosis of tremor, saying, "This disease is rare in the middle age, but after middle age, especially in the elderly, and the yin and blood deficiency in the elderly, and little water cannot control kidney fire, which is extremely difficult to treat."

Wang Kentang's "The Standard of Certification and Treatment" summarizes a set of prescriptions for treating tremors based on humans. The representative prescription is Dingzhen Pills for treating tremors in the elderly.

In the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Lu's "Zhang's Medical Tong" systematically summarized the experience of his predecessors, combined with personal clinical practice, pointed out that this syndrome is mainly caused by wind, fire, phlegm, and deficiency. At the same time, it also discussed the corresponding pulse patterns of the tremor syndrome in detail. It emphasized that deficiency of qi and blood is an important cause of tremor syndrome, and created a method to replenish qi and blood to treat tremor syndrome, pointing out that "it is necessary to replenish qi and blood, and ginseng Yangrong Decoction or ginseng Yangrong Decoction is the main treatment." This method has been used to this day and is still one of the effective methods of traditional Chinese medicine for treating tremor syndrome.

Fan Wubing naturally has his own set of methods to treat this disease. It is necessary to spy and find the cause by using golden needles, while his true qi is the only weapon. He can deeply explore the patient's internal conditions, summarize the crux of the circulation of qi and blood, and then treat it due to the symptoms to solve the problem.

Therefore, when the other party asked him what medical equipment he needed, Fan Wubing took out a red sandalwood needle box from his side and said to everyone, "Well, you don't need anything else, this is enough."

As he said that, Fan Wubing pulled out a golden needle more than two feet long from it and swayed in front of everyone's eyes.

He pulled out this thing, and several foreigners were shocked. A cardinal even protected Paul II and asked nervously, "What is this? It looks very heretical!"

Fan Wubing laughed and said, "This is not a heresy, it is gold, a very special kind of gold. If you don't believe it, you can touch it."

The cardinal blushed and felt that he had been a little uneasy just now and was very embarrassed. Fortunately, there was no one here except His Majesty the Pope and another cardinal. I guess everyone would not laugh at him, so he asked curiously, "What is this for?"

Fan Wubing replied, "This is called a golden needle, which is used to penetrate the patient's body to detect the condition and treat the disease."

"Lord, can this kind of thing cure diseases?" asked the Cardinal with some doubt.

However, Paul II was well-informed. When he heard this, he looked at the golden needle and frowned and said, "I have heard of traditional Chinese medicine. Silver needles can be used to penetrate some parts of the human body and then play a therapeutic role. Although I don't understand the so-called meridian theory and your Yin-Yang and Five Elements theory, and I have not found a more scientific explanation, it is said that the efficacy is good. Even in Rome, there are Chinese doctors who take this as a profession. Is this golden needle the same effect?"

Fan Wubing nodded and said to Paul II, "Your Majesty is right, this is that kind of thing. However, the effect of golden needles is much better than that of silver needles, but it is difficult for ordinary people to use this in clinical practice."

"Why?" Paul II asked curiously.

Paul II is a knowledgeable person. No matter where he goes, he is always interested in everything. When he encounters the most mysterious thing in Chinese medicine, he is naturally very interested, so he must ask clearly.

Fan Wubing replied, "Gold is soft. The golden needle made of it is naturally very poor in hardness. It is difficult to penetrate into the human body. It requires the auxiliary of the internal true qi in China to achieve the therapeutic effect. Few people can use this internal true qi now."

After listening to Fan Wubing's explanation, Paul II and others nodded and said, "Oh, that's right. Even within our Vatican, many secret techniques have been lost, so the Vatican has declined to this day."

The Vatican means the land of prophets in Latin, and was originally the center of the medieval papal state. Starting from the fourth century AD, the bishop of the Roman city took advantage of the decline of the Roman Empire and took the opportunity to plunder the land. In the sixth century, the actual rule of the city was obtained, and was called the Pope.

As early as the fourth century AD, Pope Constantine established the Cathedral of Constantine at the martyrdom of St. Peter, a disciple of Jesus’ disciple in the northwest corner of Rome to commemorate it. Later, Constantine Cathedral was converted into the current St. Peter’s Basilica, becoming the place for the Catholic Church to hold the most solemn ceremonies.

In 765 AD, Frankish king Pippin gave the city of Rome and its surrounding areas to the Pope. The church history was called Pippin's donation. Later, it became the center of church and political life in Western Europe. A papal state with Rome as its capital was established in Italy, with a territory directly under the jurisdiction of 40,000 square kilometers.

In 1870, a people's uprising broke out in Rome that resisted the pope's regime. The Italian king entered Rome, Italy completed unification, the pope's power was deprived and he was forced to retreat to the Vatican in the northwest corner of the city of Rome.

In 1929, the Italian Mussolini government signed the Treaty of Rutland with Pope Pius XI. Italy recognized the Vatican as a sovereign state, and its sovereignty belonged to the Pope. The full name of the country was called the Vatican City State.

According to unofficial historical records, the reason why the Vatican was able to occupy large swaths of Rome and possess countless believers in the past was because the pope held several secret weapons passed down from previous generations, the legendary magical grail and some other special secret techniques, which won the convincing of believers.

But later, due to some changes within the church, some things were lost, and the pope's rule was weakened, or the power of faith was weakened.

Fan Wubing shook his head, then asked Paul II to lie on the bed, pierced his golden needle into his qi sea, test the operation of the true qi, and then start the diagnosis and treatment.

Who knew that when the golden needle just pierced into the skin, the golden needle had a violent reaction. A milky white light came from the entire golden needle's surface, as if it was the light emitted by the sun when dawn just arrived.

Fan Wubing was shocked and thought to himself what was going on?!

"Holy Light Protects the Body!" The two cardinals who were observing next to each other shouted.

Although I felt it was a bit weird, Fan Wubing's golden needle still did not leave, and he tentatively sent his true energy into a little bit. As a result, he encountered a more intense resistance this time. This milky white halo seemed to be fighting against him, with a very strong hostile attitude.

Under this interference, Fan Wubing naturally had no way to treat Paul II, so he stopped in a little annoyance and said to Paul II, "His Majesty, these white lights bother me. I cannot treat you in this way."

Paul II was also a little suspicious of his reaction, but he was a pope after all, and he knew some of his own things well. After thinking about it, he said, "Oh, probably because I was wearing a robe and a triple bronze crown by my side. These artifacts have been raised by the papals of all generations, and naturally produced a reaction to protecting the Lord."

Then Paul II took off his robe and handed over the bronze triple crown to the Cardinal for safekeeping. When Fan Wubing took action again, he found that there was no special reaction. His true energy rushed straight into Paul II's body.

However, through this diagnosis and treatment, Fan Wubing also discovered a problem, that is, the physical functions of foreigners are indeed a bit blocked from those of Chinese people. If we only look at the meridians, it is also very different. The meridians of Chinese people are complex and changeable, with many branches, and some branches cannot even be found on the map.

As for the meridians of foreigners, it was relatively simple. In Paul II, he only found a few of the thickest meridians, which were very simple, but obviously much thicker. In these meridians, he also discovered strange existences of true qi like himself. It felt like the milky white halo they had encountered before, which they called holy light.

However, it is gratifying that these milky white halos that exist in Paul II's body did not react hostile or confrontation like the things I encountered before, but instead allowed Fan Wubing's true energy to sweep away and examine Paul II's body.

Although Paul II's physical condition was not very good, Parkinson's disease was relatively mild. Although the condition would become worse and worse if there was no timely diagnosis and treatment, Fan Wubing had already figured out the cause of the disease, so it would naturally be much easier to cure. It seems that one week is enough.

After finishing his diagnosis and treatment, Fan Wubing couldn't help but ask Paul II, "His Majesty, I also found that milky white halo inside your body."
