Mowen Jie took out an ancient book from his pocket.
It exuded an ancient aroma. Upon closer inspection, one discovered that the ancient book was made of silk, and from the texture of the silk, it was absolutely not fake. The characters on it also conveyed a sense of agelessness.
Mowen Jie said: "Although none of you have seen the original 'Shanshui Jing', you should be familiar with it from the descriptions of later generations. My brother can debate the authenticity with an international judge."
Tang Baichuan and Sterling shook nervously as they took the 'Shanshui Jing' from each other. They opened it and glanced at it. The ancient aura emanating from it hit them in the face, a feeling that couldn't be faked. They said in unison: "It's definitely an authentic original, no mistake!"
Mowen Jie said: "Now can we sign the bet?"
Daisuke Watanabe and Jin Dazhang hurriedly consulted over the phone. Once they received the response, they signed the bet with Mowen Jie.
Mowen Jie said: "The Traditional Chinese Medicine of the Dragon Nation is profound and vast. What you have learned is only the form, but you have never learned the spirit. Today, I will let you experience what true Traditional Chinese Medicine is. The foundation of Traditional Chinese Medicine is the interplay of Yin and Yang and Five Elements. Zi Wu Liu Zu serves as the rule, which connects the periodic phenomena of the natural world with the circulation of qi and blood in humans, aligning with the ebbs and flows of vital organs in twelve-hour cycles in a coherent and orderly manner. Zi Wu Liu Zu also serves as a principle for health preservation, nurturing life to ensure longevity."
He then took out a pill of the Nine-TransformedPurple Gold Dan and placed it in the patient's mouth. Unfortunately, none of them recognized it. This was a medicine known as the Immortal Pill, the Nine-TransformedPurple Gold Dan. He took out a silver needle and spread his hands, with eight silver needles flying out from his palm and arranged in a line suspended half a meter in front of Mowen Jie's chest. He danced with his two hands like sword pointers, each silver needle piercing into an acupoint of the patient. Dozens of voices erupted simultaneously: "Younlong Eight Needles!" This was a lost art that had been passed down for thousands of years, capable of reviving the dead and whitening bones. For trivial issues like cartilage disease, they were not considered illnesses in front of the extraordinary skill of Youlong Eight Needles.
Mowen Jie used his qi to control the needles, making them jump in a rhythmic manner.
Tang Baichuan said: "Little disciple has actually demonstrated the Phoenix Three Nods. What else is he not capable of doing?"
Mowen Jie took the needle from a distance and said, "If he doesn't stand up in one minute, it counts as a loss for me."
His words had just fallen, and suddenly, the patient lying on the litter stood up. He took a step cautiously, making sure he didn't fall, then stepped out again. Once he confirmed he was steady, he walked boldly towards Mowen Jie, kneeling down in tears and saying: "Thank you, Great Doctor Mo, for letting me stand up again. I will never forget your great kindness!"
Mowen Jie said: "Get up, this is fate!"
The patient left with countless thanks.
Mowen Jie said: "Fulfill the bet, please."
Daisuke Watanabe and Jin Dazhang said: "The competition hasn't ended yet. What bet can we fulfill?"
Mowen Jie said: "They've already lost since they started treating the patient, as they don't understand yin and yang at all. How dare they treat others? The fact that they've ever cured patients is just luck, like a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse. Yin and yang isn't just day and night; heaven is yang, earth is yin, odd numbers are yang, even numbers are yin, outside is yang, inside is yin, front is yang, back is yin. If they can't even distinguish these yin and yang principles, how can they cure patients? Yin and yang complement each other to achieve balance; women are yin but the front side is yang; men are yang but the front side is yin." Mowen Jie talked eloquently about it.
Then he said: "Daisuke Watanabe, Jin Dazhang, ask your participants if they understand the changes of yin and yang. Don't make futile attempts. It's better to directly admit defeat and preserve a little face. You can't cure patients, and your faces will be bashed like pig heads."
Tang Yanran also treated the patient by using qi to control the needles.
The Ouyang siblings and Ge Changjun are both cultivators, so they could naturally use their true qi to assist. Although they couldn't perform flying needles, acupuncture was still feasible; it just took longer. They too cured the patient within the specified time.
Poor international friends, all of whom failed.
Even more ridiculous was that Kumi Hiroyoshi prepared a pill made from powdered agents for the patient to take.
The patient made a sad face and said, "Doctor, I'm sick, not hungry!"
With this, the World Traditional Chinese Medicine Competition came to a close, with the Dragon Nation securing the top five positions and emerging victorious.
Daisuke Watanabe and Jin Dazhang dejectedly fulfilled the bet.
Tang Baichuan conducted the award ceremony.
Tang Yanran said: "Wenjie, come back with me to the Sichuan Province."
Mowen Jie said: "It's not easy for me to come to the capital. I want to visit a few other senior brothers of mine. Can we return to the Sichuan Province in a couple of days?"
Tang Yanran said: "I know your little tricks. You just want to spend some time with them again, like a honeymoon after a parting."
Mowen Jie said helplessly: "The fifth senior brother is really gossiping!"
Tang Baichuan sneezed and rubbed his nose, saying: "Who's talking about my bad side?"
Tang Yanran said: "This matter has nothing to do with Grandpa Tang. It was Wenliang who told me."
Mowen Jie said: "Since they're all Tang family members, it doesn't matter who gets hurt."
Tang Yanran said: "You have three days to spend with them. After three days, come back with me to the Sichuan Province."
Mowen Jie said: "This is a subtle warning!"
Tang Yanran said: "Do you have any objection?"
Mowen Jie laughed and said, "No objections, no objections! I'll go to the Sichuan Province after three days!"
Tang Yanran chuckled and said, "Let's go, Wenjie!"
Jing Changjun looked at Mowen Jie, who was ecstatic and almost forgetful, and said proudly: "Master's wife is powerful!" From now on, I will hold onto Master's wife's leg. Who dares to hit my head again? After saying that, he reached out to grab the leg of Tang Yanran.
Mowen Jie gave him a kick on the buttocks and said: "Are you daring, you dare to profane your stepmother? Do you believe I can turn someone into a hermaphrodite?"
Jing Changjun said: "Master, I am still young and immature. It's understandable that I made a mistake."
Mowen Jie said: "Choose the place for dinner, which will be a farewell."
As they were about to leave, Tang Baichuan, accompanied by Jin Dazhang and others, approached Mowen Jie.
Tang Baichuan said: "The little disciples say that you made Poor Bai transgender. They searched for two days but could not find a reason. They hope you can treat Poor Bai."
Jing Changjun said: "Master used flying needles, but unfortunately, he only knows how to use them and not how to undo them. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been beaten by Master."
The people from the country of Gooks were stunned upon hearing this, and they silently cursed Jing Changjun hundreds of times in their minds, thinking, you damn fool, you can't undo it; what's the point of using flying needles, you're just using us as practice.
Tang Baichuan said: "Little disciple, how should we handle this matter?"
Mowen Jie said: "Jing Changjun, your flying needle technique on a pig mother is the same as on him. Have you forgotten the method I told you to undo it?"
Jing Changjun said: "Master is wise. They're like a pig mother and the patient. I understand, and then he flew a needle into the Zhaohai acupoint of Poor Bai."
The people from the country of Gooks were shocked beyond belief as Poor Bai screamed and turned back to normal!
Jin Dazhang and the others whispered to themselves: "How could we not think of the Zhaohai acupoint? We tried Yamen, Tiantu, and Lingdao points but nothing worked. It seems that Traditional Chinese Medicine is truly profound and miraculous!" They bowed their hands in gratitude!
Jing Changjun said: "Don't thank the master. Thank the master of his master. My master didn't tell me, and I wouldn't have known if it weren't for him. You really think that the pig mother treated by Master is infertile and don't know that there are common acupoints to cure it? Master is a true disciple, but he hasn't yet understood its profound mystery. Just because you copycat doctors can dream of fooling teachers and ancestors, you really think so?"
Mowen Jie said: "Let's go eat together, brother."
Tang Baichuan said: "I came to find you not just to treat the people from the country of Gooks, but mainly to invite you all to eat together. This time, you have brought glory to our nation. The National Medical Hall has arranged a celebration banquet for you. The competition was live-streamed, and as you took all the top five spots, there was joy throughout the country. Now, you all have been given titles; little disciple and Yanran are known as the Divine Physician Couple, the Ouyang siblings as the dual smiters of disease demons, and Ge Changjun as the Fat Dragon Divine Doctor."
Now, the popularity of learning Traditional Chinese Medicine is surging. The number of students transferring to the TCM department in universities has skyrocketed. The TCM of Longguo is about to rise, and it's all thanks to you guys!
Jing Changjun said: "Master is very fat, right?"
Ouyang Hua said: "It's also okay to call him the Plump Divine Doctor."
Jing Changjun said: "Your meaning is still that Master is fat, no, no, no! It's the little brother who is fat!"
Ouyang Nana said: "Why not call Master now?"
Jing Changjun said: "I'm afraid I'll be beaten to idiocy, and then I won't even be able to attract a girl. That would be a huge loss!"
Tang Baichuan said: "Let's go eat!"
The group arrived at a hotel banquet hall, where Cui Jujunfu, Tan Daoming, Liang Guozhu, and Jiang Hongtai were already waiting. Upon seeing Tang Baichuan and Mowen Jie, they all stood up and bowed in greeting.
Mowen Jie said: "You needn't be so formal, sirs. You have all passed the ancient age of seventy, and you are like the Taihang and Dalu of Traditional Chinese Medicine in our country. We can't afford such grand gestures from you."
Jiang Hongtai said: "There's no need for such modesty, Mowen Doctor. Your medical skills far surpass ours by many times. Your efforts this time have brought glory to our country and sparked a wave of learning Traditional Chinese Medicine, fulfilling the wishes of our old fellows!"
Tan Daoming said: "Mowen Doctor, as told by the president of the Tang Association, these young ones are your disciples, and you joined the competition to bring honor to our nation?"
The Ouyang siblings nodded.
Jing Changjun proudly said: "Not my master's orders, and you all think that the Great Teacher will come to participate in such a trivial competition."
Seeing that Mowen Jie was about to act, he quickly changed his tone and said: "It's me, me!"
Which led to everyone laughing heartily.
The celebration banquet came to an end amidst the mounting atmosphere of joy.
Mowen Jie said: "You must study hard after you return. I will check your academic performance!"
Ouyang Nana said: "I've been waiting for you every day, and you never came. This time, you can't fool us anymore."
Jing Changjun said: "Master has been practicing hard to prove his skills against you. But it seems that this time, if Master were to bury himself in the ground, he still wouldn't have a chance to win."
Mowen Jie said: "Stop your nonsense. Go rest now. Goodbye!"
The Ouyang siblings and Jing Changjun said: "Master, Madam, goodbye!"
Mowen Jie said: "Yanran, let's also go back and rest!"
Tang Yanran said: "I'll play with Wenliang soon. You go ahead with your task. Try to return as soon as possible. After saying this, she took a taxi and left."
Mowen Jie mumbled to himself: "Who should I call first?" As he hesitated, Zhou Qianqian's phone rang: "Have you eaten yet, Wenjie?"
Mowen Jie said: "I just finished eating."
Zhou Qianqian said: "Is there nothing to do after eating?"
Mowen Jie said: "Not yet!"
Zhou Qianqian said: "That's great! I'm in Room 618 of the Kuaihuan Hotel. Come by taxi. Taxi drivers will know the location."
Mowen Jie said: "I'm on my way!"
Zhou Qianqian said: "I'll wait for you, see you later!"
Mowen Jie said: "See you later!"
Just as he hung up the phone, the ringtone sounded, and he exclaimed in surprise: "No way!"
