"I'll let you see why the acupuncture method is not effective. Do you care if my acupuncture method is trash!" Zhang Mingtuo glared at Xia Tian angrily, and then argued: "Even if the acupuncture method is trash, it's not your business. It's the ancient [Tian Shaoyue] acupuncture method."

Xia Tian took two steps forward and looked at the person lying on the bed. He was a thin old man who looked fifty or sixty years old. He looked kind-hearted and restrained. He should be a cultivator.

At this time, the thin old man closed his eyes and his breath for a long time, but he did not die. It should have been because of Zhang Mingtuo's acupuncture.

"Hey, Master, have you gone down the mountain to find your hundred old lovers? Why are you here?" Xia Tian asked in confusion: "Is this old man one of your old lovers?"

"Get out!" Zhang Mingtuo glared at Xia Tian and said, "Don't talk nonsense here. This is Ren Daofang, the current head of Chongyang Palace. Please pay attention to the occasion when you speak."

Xia Tian looked dissatisfied, and then joked: "Hey, Master, I met an old lover of yours outside just now. She has been looking for you for twenty or thirty years. You didn't even tell her you hiding here? Do you feel guilty?"

"You said that Liu Xihua?" Zhang Mingtuo subconsciously shook his head and said with sighing: "This woman has a bad brain. I don't have that kind of relationship with her, and I don't want to have anything to do with her."

Xia Tian smiled and said, "What a pity. In fact, that old woman is pretty good and matches you."

"You know what a perfect match." Zhang Mingtuo glared at Xia Tian angrily, "Don't talk about those who are not, hurry up and help do the serious business, see what went wrong with this acupuncture method and why it didn't work."

Xia Tian casually glanced at all the silver needles on Ren Zhenren's body and said lightly: "Master, I have said it a long time ago. This set of needles is too trash."

"What does it mean?" Zhang Mingtuo was stunned, a little confused.

"This has been explained clearly enough, but you haven't understood it yet." Xia Tian shook his head speechlessly, "Master, have your medical skills declined after going down the mountain, or have your understanding ability decreased."

Zhang Mingtuo said dissatisfiedly: "I think you are getting more and more aware of speaking."

"Okay, who told you to be my master? I'll put it simply." Xia Tian reached out and took down half of the silver needles on Ren Zhenren's body and threw them aside. "This set of needles is too old, so the form is complicated and repeated, and the method of qi is outdated. Many needle positions are mysterious and can no longer keep up with the times."

"Huh?" Zhang Mingtuo was about to refute one or two, but suddenly realized that Ren Zhenren, who had been in a state of a living dead, had recovered his breathing. He couldn't help but say in surprise: "You kid is really good."

Xia Tian laughed: "Of course I can do it. I am the number one miracle doctor in the world. This little thing will not hurt me."

"Okay, okay." Seeing that Ren Zhenren had recovered from his breathing, Zhang Mingtuo gave him two more injections and maintained this state. Then he winked at Xia Tian, ​​turned around and sat at the table: "Come here, let's talk."

He greeted Ning Ruirui and Shi Chun again and said, "Two girls, don't be too reserved. They are both our own people, sit down."

While talking, the four of them sat down around the table.

"There are no tea or pastries here, so I have really neglected the two girls." Zhang Mingtuo looked at the small room and explained with a little awkward smile.

Ning Ruirui waved her hand quickly: "You are welcome, we took the liberty to disturb you."

"You are your brother-in-law's master, that legendary ghost doctor Zhang Mingtuo?" Shi Chun looked at Zhang Mingtuo curiously and found that although this man now has a lot of hair and beard, he looks quite right. He should be considered a handsome guy when he was young, at least more handsome than her brother-in-law, who always claims to be the most handsome in the world.

Zhang Mingtuo stroked his beard and nodded with a smile: "Yes, I am Zhang Mingtuo, and I am Xia Tian's master. I wonder which wife are you two of my disciples?"

"That's not me..." Ning Ruirui didn't expect Zhang Mingtuo to ask so directly, and she couldn't help but blush. She subconsciously wanted to defend herself, but unfortunately she didn't know what to say for a while.

"You don't have to be shy, and you don't have to rush to deny it." Zhang Mingtuo grinned and said, "I don't know the nature of my disciple, as a master. Not only is it too lustful, but it also has very high requirements. Since he brings you by his side, you will definitely not be able to escape."

Ning Ruirui was speechless for a moment.

Shi Chun simply replied directly: "Uncle Zhang, my name is Shi Chun. I am the future wife that my brother-in-law has booked, but I am still free now."

"Well, your qualifications are good, but you should have suffered a serious illness when you were young." Zhang Mingtuo's eyes were extremely bright, but he said with a smile: "But it's okay, my apprentice must have helped you get rid of the disease. Seeing that your cultivation is not low now, he should love you very much."

"Hehe." Shi Chun laughed and said to Zhang Mingtuo: "Uncle Zhang, your medical skills are really amazing, you can see that."

Zhang Mingtuo said proudly: "Nonsense, I teach this kid's medical skills. If he didn't have some of my true teachings, how could he be called a miracle doctor?"

"Hey, master, how can I stop blowing?" Xia Tian curled his lips, "When I was six years old, my medical skills surpassed you. Since then, I have been teaching myself the eight-acupuncture point, okay?"

Zhang Mingtuo felt bored in an instant and said lightly: "I just knew that the eight needles of the anti-natal attacks were learned. You have learned the eight needles, otherwise my disciples and daughters-in-law would not be able to come back."

Xia Tian was a little strange: "Hey, Master, do you know this?"

"Can't I know?" Zhang Mingtuo asked back.

Xia Tian asked casually: "The thick-browed idiot just now clearly said that you were locked up here ten years ago. Where did you know?"

"Listen," Zhang Mingtuo explained seriously: "First of all, I was not locked up here, but came in actively; secondly, I can know the world even if I stay here; finally, I asked you to send the invitation to the Secret Immortal Conference to Chongyang Palace."

When Ning Ruirui heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned: "Then did you send my invitation letter? "

"Don't call me old sir, I'm not old yet." Zhang Mingtuo waved his hand, "Either call me master like this kid, or call me uncle like this little girl, or call me whatever you want, just don't call me so old."

"Oh. Then call your uncle." Ning Ruirui said lightly, "That invitation?"

Zhang Mingtuo smiled and said, "I asked me to send the invitation letter from Xia Tian, ​​so I don't know yours, but it was mostly sent by your acquaintance."

"But among my acquaintances, there seems to be no one who practices, and there is no connection with Zhongnan Mountain." Ning Ruirui was puzzled.

"Little long-legged girl, there is no need to think about this kind of thing at all." Xia Tian said with a smile: "This person will appear by himself at that time, just wait with peace of mind."

Ning Ruirui thought so.

"Okay, Xiatian, next I want to talk about some serious matters. You'd better listen honestly and don't think I'm joking with you." Zhang Mingtuo looked solemn and looked at Xiatian very seriously.

Xia Tian yawned lazily: "If you have anything, just say it, there is no need to show this kind of spectrum. Do you still don't know who I am?"

"It's important, and I can't take it easy." A hint of hesitation flashed through Zhang Mingtuo's eyes. "Actually, I wanted to come to you ten years ago, but I was very hesitant in my heart, feeling that you shouldn't be involved. But after ten years of struggle, I feel that you may only be able to solve this problem in the world."

Xia Tian said with some dissatisfaction: "Master, just say it directly. What other detours are we going to turn?"

"This matter is a long story, and I don't know where to start for a while." Zhang Mingtuo nodded, then fell into deep thought, and after a while, he said: "You should know that something big happened in Zhongnan Mountain about 120 years ago."

"Of course I have heard of the so-called great catastrophe in the world of immortal cultivation, and I have heard it several times." Xia Tian curled his lips, "But, I heard it from my close girl Gu Hanshuang at the beginning, and I only believe what she said. Master, you won't want to say a new version, right?"

"This so-called great catastrophe in the world of immortal cultivation is to put it bluntly, an internal struggle between a group of immortal cultivators, and there is nothing to say." Zhang Mingtuo did not intend to tell a long story, but just mentioned a few words casually, and then got to the point, "Some of them were for the underground spirit veins of Zhongnan Mountain, so Chongyang Palace also had a big battle with those people underground, which resulted in the rupture of the underground spirit veins. Chongyang Palace had no time to take care of the so-called great catastrophe."

"What will happen if the underground spiritual vein breaks?" Shi Chun's face was full of curiosity and asked subconsciously.

Zhang Mingtuo sighed and said slowly: "The underground spiritual vein, also known as the dragon vein in Feng Shui, is the foundation of all mountains, rivers and all things. If the spiritual vein is abundant, then the place will naturally be full of plants and trees, and the people will be outstanding. Once the spiritual vein breaks, the spiritual energy will leak out, which will not only endanger the safety of human life on the ground, but will also cause this land to lose all its vitality and become a dead place like Lop Nur."

After saying this, Ning Ruirui and Shi Chun knew it.

"What about it later?" Ning Ruirui couldn't help asking.

"The Chongyang Palace is a Taoist temple in Zhongnan Mountain, so it naturally has the responsibility to protect the spiritual veins." Zhang Mingtuo paused for a few seconds and continued: "At that time, Master Chen sacrificed his life to block the cracked hole of the spiritual vein, which is the first person in the alchemy cauldron here."

Ning Ruirui and Shi Chun looked back at the first tripod in the spiritual vein. There was indeed an old man with white hair and beard sitting cross-legged inside.

Zhang Mingtuo pointed to the other two elixirs: "The result was that the two later leaders of the Chongyang Palace, Qin Zhenren and Lu Zhenren, also chose to sacrifice themselves to block the cracks of the spiritual vein on the day the golden elixir was formed, in order to preserve the spiritual vein, otherwise people, animals, plants and trees thousands of miles above the ground would not be able to escape the fate of withering and dying."
