Rescuing A Wei, Mirror

The room fell quiet, and the countdown to saving A Wei began!

Bai Bingxue took silver needles from the medical officer's kit and, following the Ren Meridian, sealed nine acupoints: Xuanji, Huagai, Zigong, Yutang, Shanzhong, Jiuwei, Zhongting, Shenque, and Qihai, inserting a needle into each.

Next, she circulated the Wood Spirit Art technique, sending a stream of True Qi from A Wei's right arm to protect the Blood Sea, then another from his left arm to protect the Qihai. Finally, she sent a stream of True Qi from the Baihui acupoint to protect the Marrow Sea. These three streams of True Qi would first fill A Wei's internal three seas.

With the preparations complete, Bai Bingxue said with a stern face, "Grandfather, I'm about to cut open cousin's abdomen to remove the poisoned arrow. It's extremely dangerous."

King Ziqi was so nervous he didn't know what to do, nodding silently.

Bai Bingxue pointed to two medical officers and Sixi. "You all stay here and help. Everyone else, go outside and stand guard. If I don't open the door, do not come in, lest evil wind invade my cousin's body."

General Abu, supporting his elderly father, said with tears in his eyes, "Bingxue, do your best to save him. His life and death depend on his fate."

After everyone left, Bai Bingxue instructed the two medical officers and Sixi to cover all the doors and windows with cloth. They lit over a dozen oil lamps, illuminating the room brightly.

With everything ready, Bai Bingxue took out the bone-cutting knife from her medical kit, wiped it with wine, and then heated it over a flame.

The two medical officers and Sixi watched intently. Suddenly, Bai Bingxue made her move.

With her left hand, she held the arrow shaft at the Zhongwan acupoint. With her right hand, she made four incisions around the wound, three inches deep, splitting the abdomen open. She then lifted the arrow shaft with her left hand, and the arrow, along with the arrowhead, was removed.

Bai Bingxue used Azure Wood True Qi to control the bleeding from the wound.

The medical officers turned A Wei's head to the side, preventing the contents of his stomach from coming out of the wound, and had him vomit them out.

Bai Bingxue instructed the medical officers to fetch cooled boiled water and washed the wound, which contained food debris, three times. She then pinched extremely fine needles and intestine thread between her thumb and index finger. Her hands moved like fluttering butterflies as she swiftly stitched up the wound.

The medical officers washed the wound with clean water three more times. Bai Bingxue then proceeded to stitch the layers of flesh beneath the skin, sewing up four layers consecutively before using a large needle to stitch the abdominal skin. In total, she sewed five layers.

Bai Bingxue worked as if she were sewing clothes, leaving the two medical officers and Sixi staring in amazement.

The two medical officers were responsible for cleaning, while Sixi handed water and received waste. From the removal of the arrow to the stitching, it took half an hour.

The situation with the second arrow was more dire. The intestines were pierced, and the abdominal opening was even larger than the wound from the food debris. After another round of cleaning and stitching, it took another hour to complete the sewing.

Finally, the medical officers wrapped A Wei's abdomen with bandages. By the time they finished securing him, it was already past midnight.

Bai Bingxue washed her hands and looked at her three partners. All four smiled with relief. They removed the cloth curtains and pushed open the door, all four taking a deep breath of fresh air.

Outside the door, General Abu's family saw Bai Bingxue's smiling face and immediately felt relieved. A Wei's birth mother, overcome with emotion, fainted again.

King Ziqi, being elderly, could no longer stand and had already been persuaded to return by Alu and Age, who promised to inform him immediately if there was any news.

Bai Bingxue, despite her exhaustion, took the pulse of her fourth uncle's wife beside her. After diagnosing her, she prescribed five doses of herbal medicine. The prescription was as follows: "Insomnia, deficiency of Blood Essence.

Codonopsis pilosula five qian, Ramulus Cinnamomi five qian, Radix Paeoniae Alba five qian, Radix Glycyrrhizae praeparata cum melle one qian six fen, Radix Astragali two liang, Radix Codonopsis six qian six fen, Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae six qian six fen, Poria cocos one liang, Radix Angelicae Sinensis six qian six fen, Rhizoma Chuanxiong three qian three fen, Radix Rehmanniae Preparata one liang, Cortex Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae three qian three fen, Rhizoma Alismatis Preparata cum Sale three qian three fen, Fructus Corni eight qian three fen, Rhizoma Curcumae Praeparata cum Aceto three qian, Cortex Eucommiae Preparata cum Sale three qian three fen, Rhizoma Dioscoreae six qian three fen, Semen Ziziphi Spinosae Praeparata three qian three fen." The patient must follow the doctor's orders and not take the medicine privately.

Bai Bingxue instructed the two medical officers and Sixi to stay and take care of A Wei. He must not move or eat after waking up. If he was thirsty, he could only sip water.

Hong Lian stayed by the door to care for her brother. The others hurried to King Ziqi's sleeping quarters.

King Ziqi, having been frightened and worried about his grandson's safety, had also fallen ill in bed. Two concubines sat by his side, and his two sons sat in chairs opposite the bed, all with worried expressions.

Alu comforted him, "Father, A Wei is a filial child. The Buddha will protect him."

Age added, "Father, Bingxue has learned well from True Master Bi Xuzi. That young novice monk who was on the brink of death on Gu Mountain was also saved by Bingxue."

King Ziqi snorted, "You two only know how to say nice things. Have the assassins been identified?"

Alu replied, "Father, the four assassins were all bitten to death by A Si's snow ferret, and no tokens were found on them."

King Ziqi roared, "Investigate the opera troupe and arrest all their accomplices! They will pay for A Wei's life!"

Age quickly said, "Father, the opera troupe has been investigated. These four assassins were newly hired by the troupe leader. The leader kept them because they were good at sword dancing and wanted them to perform for you.

My son and Lord Ying Hu analyzed the martial arts moves of the four individuals and determined it was Dian Cang Swordplay. We suspect they were sent by Gao Mingqing of Shan Chan.

We also found rouge and powder used in the Southern Expedition Country on the two female assassins. These four came from Cang Lang Peak of the Dian Cang Sect. The hidden weapons in their sleeves are also unique to Cang Lang Peak. Liu Tianwei, Gao Mingqing's senior brother, is the peak master of Cang Lang Peak."

King Ziqi raged, "It's Gao Mingqing again! He killed my daughter and now wants to kill my grandson. I will not forgive him!" Cough cough... cough cough...

"Grandfather, what's wrong?" Bai Bingxue entered with her uncle Abu and cousin Hong Yun, asking.

"Bingxue, how is A Wei?" King Ziqi lowered his feet from the bed, getting up as he asked anxiously.

Abu quickly said, "Father, lie down and rest. Bingxue saved A Wei."

King Ziqi exclaimed excitedly, "Good! Good! Bingxue is truly a successor of a divine doctor. Our family is blessed. Bingxue, whatever you want, your grandfather will reward you!"

Although Bai Bingxue looked tired, she smiled and said, "Grandfather, please lie down. Let me take your pulse. You must take care of yourself!"

Bai Bingxue took King Ziqi's pulse in both wrists, examined his tongue and eyes, and after diagnosing him, prescribed five doses of herbal medicine. The prescription was as follows: "Deficiency syndrome, liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome.

Rhizoma Corydalis three qian, Prepared Fructus Foeniculi three qian, Calcined Concha Ostreae five qian, Radix Aucklandiae three qian, Radix Nan Jing three qian, Calcined Lapis Magneticus five qian, Rhizoma Curcumae three qian, Fructus Aurantii five qian, Radix Scutellariae three qian, Radix Platycodonis three qian, Prepared Rhizoma Pinelliae Ternatae three qian, Radix Bupleuri three qian, Mother-of-pearl (decocted first) one liang, Honey-prepared Radix Glycyrrhizae one qian."

After writing the prescription, Bai Bingxue invited King Ziqi's two concubines to the side. After bowing to her two grandmothers, she gave instructions on how to decoct the herbs and on bedroom health. The two beautiful ladies nodded in agreement and left with blushing faces.

Penglai Immortal Island, White Jade Palace Garden.

"Cured the chronic illness of the current monarch of Ziqi Country, extending life by ten years. Karma Value increased by five thousand." The Karma Value notification appeared in the water mirror.

White Deer Immortal clapped her hands and smiled, "Bai Yu's Karma Value increased by so much at once?"

Ancestor Lu and True Martial Great Emperor were actually snoring. White Deer Immortal was speechless.

Happy Arhat chuckled, "The King of Ziqi Country has always been very respectful to our Buddha, so his Karma Value is not ordinary!"

"The Arhat is right," White Deer Immortal replied.

Chen Renfeng observed Arhat's reaction from the side, particularly his interest in the Great Dao's origin. It seemed nothing special. He picked up the conversation, "Immortal, the life of a monarch is more precious."

Bai Lu smiled, "Yes, in the future, I'll treat more people of high status!"

Chen Renfeng replied, "Immortal, there are only a limited number of people of high status. Let's continue watching."
