C15 Opening the Acupoints

Damn it!

The kick from my master was like he had practiced it before. It was so accurate that it hit the groin.

That guy was in so much pain that his tail felt like it had been cracked.

I rubbed the back of my head and hurriedly opened the door to leave the house.

When I walked back to the west room, the anger in my heart had yet to dissipate.

I just felt that my master was quite violent. He was a big old man, so how could he have such a violent temper?

Yesterday, he was slapped by a iron ruler, and today, he was kicked again!

If this continued, with my small body, he would sooner or later destroy me.

On the left-hand side of the west room was a small kitchen. There was a small table in the middle, and the food had long been prepared.

I heard second senior brother say that these dishes were prepared by my master.

These years, his disciples had all become masters, so his master had been living in seclusion and rarely personally acted.

He usually stayed on the mountain and cooked for his disciples. He even became a cook and a little accountant. I really don't know what he was thinking.

The root of his tail was still burning in pain. After eating, I quickly lay on the bed.

I cursed Master for a long time in my heart, then started to think about why Master and Hsing were not willing to teach me the Heart Calming and Mind Quieting Technique.

Slowly, I fell asleep.

I slept so well that I didn't even dream.

Suddenly, I felt someone patting me on the shoulder.

I opened my eyes and rubbed them. Only then did I realize that second senior brother had returned.

Looking at the time, I had slept for two hours.

I felt strange in my heart. I thought, I was so sleepy. Yesterday, my father almost strangled me to death. That was why I woke up from my sleep.

What kind of technique did Geng Yan use? How did he wake me up with just two random patting?

Before I could ask, Geng Yan spoke first.

"Little junior brother, you are anxious to learn the Heart Calming and Mind Quieting Technique, right? Master and junior sister have already told me."

"Come, quickly wake up. I will teach you now! After you learn it, you will be more and more energetic every day!"

Geng Yan smiled honestly, then used his two rough big palms to help me wipe the blurry (eyeballs) on my eyes.

Hearing him say that, I shook my head and sat up.

"Geng Yan, you are still the best! I will go wash my face first. Wait for me to be more energetic, then you can come and teach me!"

I got down from the ground and ran to the kitchen to wash my face. When I came back, my mind had already become much clearer.

I stared at this black-faced and honest second senior brother, and the more I looked at him, the more I felt that he was pleasing to the eye.

Don't look at me and Geng Yan being classmates. In fact, he was three years older than me, and this was something that everyone in the class knew.

I heard that when he was in elementary school, he had a serious illness and had to take three years off school.

After he recovered, Geng Yan's mind became muddled, and his academic performance had always been stable. He always ranked first in the class.

When I was in the third year of junior high school, Geng Yan went to the provincial capital to see a doctor and missed the exam.

When the results came out, my dad beat me up again.

I felt so wronged. Since Geng Yan missed the exam, I naturally ranked first. What was so strange about that?

It was all my dad's fault. Every time he saw the results, he would look at them from the back and then look at the front. Once he realized that I was in the top place, he would beat me up.

Geng Yan was bright in the east and dim in the west. Although his learning was not good, he was very good at guarding the soul.

I heard that when young senior sister mentioned him, she was extremely impressed.

...

Now that I thought about it, it was actually quite interesting. He looked at Geng Yan so affectionately, as if he was his own family.

While I was thinking about all this, Geng Yan had already brought a small wooden box over.

There was a bamboo piece at the bottom of the box. On top of it were six small holes, and in each of the holes was a silver needle of different lengths.

Geng Yan explained that these silver needles were the shortest half an inch and the longest three inches.

After I memorize the Heart Calming and Mind Quieting Technique's incantation, he will help me "pass the silver needles through the body, break the acupoints, and open the apertures."

I looked at these sparkling silver needles and felt a little scared.

"Geng Yan, are you joking? You want to use these things to prick my body? Then you will have to prick my entire body with holes and small holes!" I asked.

Geng Yan grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth that made me extremely jealous. "Little Junior Brother, what are you thinking about? These needles are only pricking six acupoints, not pricking your body! How can it be as scary as you think?"

"Alright, hurry up and memorize the main incantation!"

"There is a saying that the spirit is scattered in all directions, like a dream and a waking up, guarding the center of the hall, inhaling deeply and exhaling deeply, thirty thousand acupoints, the universe is guarded by Gu Li Yang …"

After the four lines of the main incantation, there were another six lines of incantation. When the Qi circulated to the corresponding acupoints, he had to silently recite it in his heart.

After I memorized the ten lines of incantation, Geng Yan turned around and pulled the curtain close, then turned on the room light.

I was stunned and asked, "What are you doing? It's broad daylight, what are you doing blocking the curtain for?"

"Why are you asking so much? Hurry up and take off your clothes!" Geng Yan said.

What?

Take off his clothes?

It would have been fine if he didn't say it, but when he said it, I subconsciously leaned towards the bed and tightened my belt.

Suddenly, I recalled something that I had heard before.

I had a childhood friend called Bai Xiaotiao. He often ran to the city and knew a lot of new things.

He said that in recent years, some people in the city had started to play around. Those old men had started to dislike women and only loved to study their own kind!

When Bai Xiaotiao told me about those things, he described them vividly. He said that when the two old men stuck their heads together, their stubble would crack loudly!

When I thought about what Bai Xiaotiao had said before and looked at the scene in front of me, I felt even more scared.

When I looked at Geng Yan again, I felt that he was hiding a knife in his smile, as if he was smiling especially cunningly.

I shook my head like a rattle drum and said, "Why are you telling me all those useless things? I won't take off my clothes. If you force me, then I'll scream! Let me tell you, my voice is so loud that if I shout, I will have to call Master and Senior Sister over!"

"Geng Yan, you have changed. Tell me the truth. Did you become rich all these years and learn bad things?"

As I spoke, I secretly sized up Geng Yan.

I found that his square face was alternating between red and black. He obviously understood what I meant.

"What are you thinking about? I asked you to take off your clothes to point out the six acupoints!"

"I really admire you!"

"Look carefully. This is the top of the head. This is the middle of the chest."

Geng Yan saw that I was hesitating and did not force me. He started to explain in front of me.

Hearing his explanation and looking at his gestures, I finally understood why Hsing refused to teach me.

Some of the acupoints were hidden in the most secret places on the body, such as the Yin Acupoint between the legs, which was opposite to the Acupoint of the top of the head.

How could Hsing point out the acupoints for me? She was a girl and could not open her mouth!

When I thought of Hsing, another thought suddenly flashed through my mind.

In the past, Hsing was the only female disciple on the mountain.

Then who taught her the Heart Calming and Mind Quieting Technique?

Could it be that dead senior brother?

For some reason, when I thought of this, my heart felt a little stuffy.

A slight feeling of bitterness rose in my heart.
