The Substitute Madam Amazes the World Once More

Chapter 355 Difficult Complications

Elder Zhou frowned tightly and shook his head as he replied, “It’s really strange. I’ve been in the martial arts world for so many years, treating and saving people, but I’ve never seen such a strange pulse.” Elder Zhou was very curious about difficult illnesses. At his age now, he had studied medicine his entire life in hopes of encountering difficult cases during his old age and creating some rare medical miracles. This was also an important reason why he had agreed to Mo Jiu to treat Mo Zhu.

He had originally thought that something had happened to a certain part of her body, causing this girl to suffer from a loss of blood and internal energy and not wake up for a long time. He did not expect that after looking at it in detail, he realized that things were not so simple.

When Mo Jiu heard this, he looked at Elder Zhou’s worried expression and asked in a low voice, “Elder Zhou, Ms. Mo’s pulse is stable, but why does it stop here and there?”

After a pause, he lowered his eyes and continued to ask, “If the medical knowledge I’ve learned previously is correct, isn’t the pulse moving at the same rate as the body pumps blood? Why would a normal person’s body be in a situation where it stops here and there?”

In fact, Mo Jiu had discovered this problem when he was diagnosing Mo Zhu’s illness just now. However, because Mo Zhu’s pulse was beating normally, be it the number or the strength, it was the same as a normal person’s. Furthermore, considering that everyone didn’t understand these things and would be more worried about her if he had spoken too much, he hadn’t mentioned this.

Now that he saw Elder Zhou’s indescribable expression, he felt that Elder Zhou must have realized this too, so he said it to verify the truth.

Upon hearing Mo Jiu’s words, before Elder Zhou could answer, Chen Man had already pulled up his sleeve anxiously. Her nervous voice trembled as she said, “What? Xiao Zhu’s pulse stopped? Will her life be in danger?” When Elder Zhou heard this, he frowned with a dark expression and replied with a grave expression, “I’m sorry, everyone. I can’t cure this girl’s illness.”

Just as he finished speaking, Xu Huan stood rooted to the ground and muttered without knowing what to do, “Can’t cure it? What do you mean by that…”

Didn’t that mean that Mo Zhu might not be able to live?

Seeing this, Elder Zhou helped Xu Huan up and touched his chin. He continued in a low voice, “Just as this young man said just now, this girl’s pulse is something I’ve never seen or heard of before. It does stop for a while and moves for a while. Furthermore, when it’s beating normally, it’s no different from ordinary people.”

“If my diagnosis is correct, this girl should be practicing an energy art that is passed down from a hidden sect. It is commonly known as internal energy. I don’t know what she had experienced before, but now, this internal energy is spreading from her dantian and rampaging around in this girl’s body. This resulted in the current situation.”

When Huo Xuan heard this, he rubbed his palms without batting an eyelid. He said nervously, “Then, in your opinion, what method do we use to help Xiao Zhu successfully guide this power back to her dantian?”

Elder Zhou followed Huo Xuan’s words and lowered his eyes to quietly think. A few minutes later, he suddenly patted his head and said excitedly, “I remember now. Previously, when I was reading an ancient book by chance, I noticed a Seven Star Acupuncture Technique. If we can use the Seven Star Acupuncture Technique to treat this girl, we might be able to successfully guide the internal energy in her body back to her dantian!”

After a pause, Elder Zhou seemed to have thought of something and lowered his head in dejection. “It’s a pity that the Seven Star Acupuncture Technique is a treasure. It hasn’t appeared for many years, and the Seven Star Acupuncture Technique has long been lost…” Before he could finish sighing with emotion, Mo Jiu’s eyes lit up. He suddenly took two steps forward and said anxiously, “Elder Zhou! I have the Seven Star Needles! I happen to know the Seven Star Acupuncture Technique too!”

When Elder Zhou heard this, he frowned and asked in surprise, “You know how to do it? How is that possible? You’re so young, how can you master such a difficult acupuncture technique?”

He shook his head and added nervously, “Young man, you might not know this, but the acupuncture treatment method is very different from modern medicine. If you’re not careful, it will immediately kill you. I know that you’re saying this because you’re eager to save someone, but you can’t be impatient and not take human lives seriously!”
