Diagnosing Illness from a Thousand Miles Away
What Master Luo said reminded Su Ziyang of a new term that appeared in later generations—holography.
Holding Su Ziyang's hand, Master Luo explained the correspondence between his hand and the human body's dining hall, which was basically consistent with the holographic research conducted by later generations.
The thumb represents the cervical spine.
The liver meridian runs along the thumb side of the index finger, and the gallbladder meridian runs along the other side.
The small intestine meridian runs along the side of the middle finger and thumb, while the heart meridian runs along the other side.
The large intestine meridian runs along the side of the ring finger that is connected to the thumb, while the lung meridian runs along the other side.
The bladder meridian runs along one side of the little finger and the thumb, while the kidney meridian runs along the other side.
Then, different parts of the palm represent the liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, and there are also some details such as the nose and eyes, etc...
Even the five fingers can represent different ailments. For example, the thumb represents stroke and high fever, the index finger corresponds to insomnia and excessive dreaming, the middle finger corresponds to headache and dizziness, the ring finger corresponds to vomiting blood, vomiting, deafness and tinnitus, and coughing, and the little finger represents genital diseases.
In short, everything in your hands can correspond to different parts of your body.
Having learned all this, Su Ziyang suddenly remembered a sentence from the book that Mr. Mengfei. Mr. Mengfei had given him when he was studying with him. "If you can understand the principles of Yin and Yin and Yang, you can hold the world in your palm."
At the time, Su Ziyang didn't quite understand the true meaning of those words, how the world could be contained in one palm. Now, however, Su Ziyang had a sudden flash of insight when he heard Master Luo explain it, as if he had gained some new understanding.
"May I try, Master?"
Practice makes perfect. After Master Luo nodded, Su Ziyang felt a sudden itch and stretched out his palm, thinking of someone.
Mr. Mengfei, who was standing on a bustling food street in the distance, paused for a moment, then smirked. "You brat!"
"Hey, girl, stop eating. Look at you, your face has gotten so round these past few days. If we meet again in a couple of days, Ziyang won't like you anymore."
Yang Tianzheng didn't dare to look Fairy Li in the eye. Fairy Li was eating something while standing in front of a stall, holding a roasted pig's trotter in her left hand.
This stall sells a snack called "Silk Doll," which consists of small pancakes rolled with various shredded vegetables and dipped in a sauce, giving it a unique flavor.
Fairy Li had never seen this before. She had already eaten more than a dozen while standing in front of the stall, leaving the stall owner dumbfounded. "Beautiful lady, eating too much of this at night is not good for your stomach. I come here to set up my stall every day. Why don't you come again tomorrow?"
Fairy Li was taken aback by the stall owner's words, then pulled out a tissue from her pocket to wipe her mouth. "Alright, I'll be here again tomorrow. I'll come back to eat here again. Master, here's the money."
Fairy Li tugged at Mr. Mengfei's sleeve, and Mr. Mengfei chuckled as he pulled out his phone to pay.
"I think Zhengzai. If you keep eating like this, Ziyang might not want you anymore."
Mr. Mengfei also chuckled and teased Fairy Li.
"He dares? I'll beat him to death!" Fairy Li said, stretching out her little fist and gesturing in front of Mr. Mengfei.
"Sigh, I feel a little sorry for Ziyang. I initially thought you were gentle and refined, but I didn't expect you to be such a shrew."
Mr. Mengfei sighed, but Fairy Li Mr. Mengfei his words and ran to a stall selling tripe, insisting on eating it.
"Poached tripe may not be clean; be careful, it can cause stomach aches."
Mr. Mengfei said quietly.
"Hey, how can you talk like that? What do you mean by 'tripe isn't clean'? What do you mean by that?"
The owner of the tripe stall was bald. Mr. Mengfei spoke very softly, but the stall owner still heard him.
When Mr. Mengfei Fairy Li that, Ms. Li immediately walked away from the stall. Along the way, Fairy Li refused to eat anything that Mr. Mengfei said was unclean.
Because Mr. Mengfei wasn't bluffing; he really was unclean.
The owner of the tripe stall seemed to have been hit where it hurt, and he came out from behind his stall, shoving and pushing Mr. Mengfei: "What do you mean by this?"
Mr. Mengfei quickly waved his hand with a smile, "Brother, don't be silly. My child ate quite a lot today, and I was just worried she wouldn't feel well when she got home. I was just scare her. I'm sorry, please don't mind it."
The tripe vendor stopped shoving after hearing what Mr. Mengfei said. He turned around and looked at Fairy Li, who was standing aside watching the commotion. Fairy Li was thirty years old, but she looked very young; people would believe she was twenty.
Fairy Li stood motionless to the side, staring at the boss and Mr. Mengfei. The tripe boss thought Fairy Li was frightened, but in fact, Fairy Li was just watching the show.
The tripe vendor really didn't say anything else, "Then don't talk nonsense, you know! I'm running a business here, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
Yang Tianzheng chuckled to himself, "I thought that bald guy was going to beat you up. I was even ready to call the police. Hahaha."
"Get lost. He's about to be in trouble."
Mr. Mengfei's words were agreed upon by Fairy Li, Fairy Li nodded repeatedly while gnawing on a pig's trotter. "Yes, yes, I think he's going to be arrested today."
No sooner had the two finished speaking than several uniformed men arrived and took the boss away.
"... Oh, thank goodness I didn't buy his tripe, otherwise he would have taken it away before my tripe even burst. Wouldn't I have lost out?"
Fairy Li muttered something, then suddenly stopped moving, her eyes lighting up as she looked at Mr. Mengfei.
Mr. Mengfei laughed heartily upon seeing Fairy Li's reaction, "You sensed it too?"
"Ah!" Fairy Li nodded, a piece of tendon hanging from her fingertips. "No, no. I can't eat this. He must know, he'll scold me. Quick, quick, throw it away. But it's such a waste!"
Fairy Li, holding a pig's trotter, walked to the trash can, hesitating whether to throw it away or not.
"Alright, he's not that capable. At most, he can sense things, it's just a kind of interaction between Yin and Yang energies. He can't see what you're doing. Master Luo must have taught him."
Upon hearing Mr. Mengfei's words, Fairy Li's face instantly broke into a smile again, "Hehe, that's good. I can continue eating pig's trotters."
"What are you two saying?" Yang Tianzheng listened for a long time but still couldn't understand.
"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. I won't tell you, hehe."
Fairy Li lowered her head and continued gnawing on the pig's trotter.
"Wow, you've been won over by just a little snack? I'll treat you to a big meal tomorrow, okay?"
Yang Tianzheng's curiosity was piqued, and he kept asking Fairy Li questions, but Fairy Li Yang Tianzheng giggled and wouldn't tell him anything.
Mr. Mengfei followed behind, laughing, "Zhengzai, let me tell you. How about you treat us to crab roe buns tomorrow?"
"Sure, it'll be plenty! So, what's up? Is it about Ziyang?"
Yang Tianzheng was genuinely puzzled and started agreeing to things haphazardly. After Mr. Mengfei explained the situation to Yang Tianzheng, Yang Tianzheng's face immediately fell. "That's it? You just tricked me into buying you a meal of crab roe buns? Get lost!"
"Oh... A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. How could you go back on your word?"
After some playful chasing, the three of them left the night market.
"They are so healthy."
Su Ziyang opened his eyes. He had just sensed Fairy Li and Mr. Mengfei and found that apart from feeling that their energy was very pure, there was no indication of any illness.
