Master Jin Emerges from Seclusion

Su Ziyang almost jumped up from the ground.

"What... what did you say?"

Fairy Li took a deep breath. "Stop with the 'whatever,' let's go, let's go. Go protect your master. Hurry up..."

There was no time for Fairy Li to say anything to Su Ziyang, so she grabbed Su Ziyang and ran outside.

"I'm locking the door! I'm locking the door!"

Su Ziyang turned around, locked the door, and followed Fairy Li as they hurried to the lock room.

When Su Ziyang arrived, Old Daoist Master Xiao and Daoist Master Xiao Yang were already waiting outside the door.

"Shh!"

Old Daoist Master Xiao patted Su Ziyang on the back, signaling Su Ziyang to be quiet.

Su Ziyang immediately pursed his lips, not daring to utter a sound.

Having not seen Daoist Jin for a long time, Su Ziyang was still very excited.

Su Ziyang had thought that Daoist Jin would come out soon, but even when the sun was high in the sky, the bell at the door remained silent.

Su Ziyang held Fairy Li's Little Hand tightly, staring intently at the bell at the door without moving.

"It's alright. Calm down, calm down. I think Daoist Jin must be doing well now."

To use a somewhat inappropriate phrase, it's like giving birth.

Seclusion is like a complete transformation; only by undergoing this transformation can one be reborn.

However, Daoist Jin was clearly having some kind of difficult labor, but the four people outside the door stood straight and waited without moving.

The sun is setting in the west!

Ding-dong...

The bell hanging at the door suddenly rang.

Everyone's spirits were lifted.

Squeak--

The door finally opened.

Daoist Jin had his hair loose and wore a cloak for warmth during meditation.

The moment Su Ziyang saw Daoist Jin, he suddenly felt that Daoist Jin had a somewhat otherworldly air about him, as if he were out of place in this world.

Looking into Daoist Jin's eyes again, they were clear and bright, as if they could see through everything in this world.

Congratulations!

Seeing Daoist Jin's condition, Old Daoist Master Xiao clasped his hands in a fist salute to Daoist Jin, flicked his sleeves, and left with Daoist Master Xiao Yang.

"At his age, he still has to worry about him! It's a terrible thing!"

Upon hearing the sigh from Old Daoist Master Xiao, everyone chuckled.

"Master!"

Su Ziyang clasped his hands in a respectful greeting to Daoist Jin.

Daoist Jin patted Su Ziyang on the shoulder and chuckled.

"Come on! Don't stand here. Old Xiao, I'll treat you to dinner. Why are you running so fast?"

Daoist Jin called out to Old Daoist Master Xiao's retreating figure, but Old Daoist Master Xiao waved his hand and said, "Not hungry. I won't eat!"

"Master, you..."

Su Ziyang had a lot to say, but Daoist Jin waved his hand, signaling Su Ziyang not to ask.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Heavenly secrets must not be revealed!"

Fairy Li teased Su Ziyang, and Su Ziyang followed behind Daoist Jin, laughing.

"Master, this is a gift for you."

The moment Su Ziyang pulled the gift out of his pocket, Fairy Li was somewhat stunned. She had no idea when Su Ziyang had prepared a gift for Daoist Jin.

What is that?

Daoist Jin took the brocade pouch and took out a string of prayer beads from it.

The prayer beads are made of small-leaf sandalwood, while the three-way connector and Buddha head are made of amber, with red agate accents in the center, giving them an exceptionally luxurious feel...

After turning the gift in his hand twice, Daoist Jin was quite satisfied with the gift Su Ziyang had given him.

"Master, you like it, right? Haha!"

Su Ziyang chuckled, realizing that Daoist Jin was quite fond of this item.

"Yes, I like it. This rosewood is also an old material. It's very nice, thank you Ziyang."

Daoist Jin Su Ziyang, Master Jin suddenly frowned and asked, "Where did you get this old material?"

"Ah! Master, it's your medicine kit from house calls, I took it apart and made several of them! You can wear them interchangeably if you like!"

After Su Ziyang finished speaking, Daoist Jin's body visibly trembled, and his breathing became somewhat unstable. His previously transcendent state of mind seemed to be slipping away.

"Master Jin, stay calm! This kind of rebellious disciple should be killed!"

Not forgetting to deliver a final blow, Fairy Li murmured something to Daoist Jin beside him.

After saying that, Fairy Li turned around and ran away quickly.

Daoist Jin stared at Su Ziyang, his expression extremely complicated.

"Master, I know you're happy, there's no need to thank me so much. I have other things to attend to, so I'll be going now, Master!"

Su Ziyang pouted and made an innocent face, then turned to slip away.

But Daoist Jin One-Handed Grab by the back of the neck.

Daoist Jin grabbed Su Ziyang by the neck and led him toward the clinic.

"Master, if you're happy, then don't get so agitated. Let go of me, I can walk by myself!"

Su Ziyang didn't forget to joke around the whole way, chattering on and on.

Daoist Jin remained silent, simply grabbing Su Ziyang by the collar and walking quickly.

Pushing open the door to the long-unopened clinic, Su Ziyang was kicked into the backside by Daoist Jin.

Following Daoist Jin into the room, I opened the bookcase in my room and found that my medicine kit for house calls was still intact inside. I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Su Ziyang, this first-aid kit will be yours sooner or later, but if I find out you've ruined it, I'll beat you to a pulp!"

Daoist Jin patted Su Ziyang on the head, took the bracelet, and turned to leave.

"Master, where are you going?"

Su Ziyang shouted.

"Never mind!"

Daoist Jin stormed out in anger.

"Master isn't good anymore, he can't handle being teased."

Su Ziyang shook his head and muttered to himself.

Without even guessing, Su Ziyang knew where Daoist Jin had gone; it must be his own little courtyard.

Su Ziyang wasn't in a hurry. He went home to get some food and drinks, then took a taxi straight to the courtyard.

Sure enough, the door was ajar.

Su Ziyang pushed open the door and entered. Daoist Jin was fetching water in the courtyard.

"Master, let me do it. Let me do it."

Su Ziyang ran over with a grin to curry favor, and Daoist Jin glanced at Su Ziyang before handing him the bucket of water.

Have you made any progress lately? Have you been playing around or being lazy?

Daoist Jin took a chair, sat down beside me, and watched as I went to fetch water, then asked softly.

"No, Master. I've been..."

Su Ziyang kept it brief and explained everything that had happened to Daoist Jin.

"Good!"

Daoist Jin chuckled and sat up from his chair.

"Want to exchange a few moves?"

Su Ziyang put down the bucket, chuckled at the provocative look in Daoist Jin's eyes, and launched the first attack without saying a word.

With a flash, he crossed his palms and struck towards Daoist Jin line.

Daoist Jin smiled, easily dodged with a slight sidestep, and then gently slapped Su Ziyang on the back of the head.

"Alright, alright. I know you tried."

In a battle between masters, victory or defeat can be decided in an instant.

If Master Daoist Jin strike had landed, Su Ziyang would have been finished.

Su Ziyang realized that the gap between himself and his master was enormous.

Su Ziyang glanced back at Daoist Jin's smiling face, then lowered his head and continued fetching water.

"Master, does my Master Mengfei know that you have emerged from seclusion?"

After filling the water tank, Su Ziyang also heated water in the bathroom so that Daoist Jin, who had just come out of seclusion, could take a bath and change into clean clothes.

He probably knows. He's busy, don't bother him!

The master and disciple had not been together for some time, and it seemed like they had endless things to talk about. Su Ziyang sat beside Daoist Jin and listened to him talk all night.

From learning my craft as a child to traveling around and finally settling down at Daoist Medicine Clinic.

"I'll continue seeing patients tomorrow. Also, I'd like to teach you a set of pediatric massage techniques. Would you like to learn them?"

Daoist Jin looked at Su Ziyang solemnly, and Su Ziyang nodded solemnly in return.

"OK!"

Daoist Jin was very happy.

Both of them possessed mental and physical strength far exceeding that of ordinary people, so just as dawn was breaking, they headed towards the Daoist Medicine Clinic in the city.

When I arrived, the clinic was just opening.

Daoist Jin hadn't held a clinic for a long time, but as soon as he reopened, he was surprised to find a large number of patients seeking his treatment.

However, most of them are children.

After finishing his work, Su Ziyang went to stand in Daoist Jin's room.

Daoist Jin is examining a child's fingerprints.

Daoist Jin had mentioned the fingerprints to Su Ziyang before, but because Daoist Jin's Daoist Jin was crying, he didn't examine Su Ziyang. He simply told Su Ziyang to look at the fingerprints himself before going back to prescribe medicine.

Su Ziyang didn't know which school or sect Daoist Jin used, but Daoist Jin's prescriptions were simply effective.

The prescription given this time was actually a classical Chinese medicine formula.

It is a modified version of Minor Bupleurum Decoction.

A modified version of Minor Bupleurum Decoction for treating cough, with the addition of Schisandra chinensis and dried ginger, but without ginseng, ginger, and jujube.

Bupleurum 13 g

Pinellia ternata 5g

5g of roasted licorice root

Scutellaria baicalensis 8g

5g of dried ginger

Schisandra 4g

3 pay.

The medicine was prepared in small quantities, as the child was only six years old.

"Come here, baby. Let me see, is the baby having trouble breathing? Let me massage it a bit."

Many people bring their children to see Daoist Jin, mainly because they want him to massage their Daoist Jin.

A couple of rubs are what Daoist Jin calls pediatric massage.

Daoist Jin took the child's hand, pinched the first joint of the ring finger, and quickly rubbed his thumb towards the fingertip.

"This is called 'Clear Lung Metal,' also known as 'Clear Lung Meridian.' Pushing towards the base of the fingers is called 'Tonify Lung Metal,' or 'Tonify Lung Meridian.' For children's coughs and phlegm, rub this area. This child has a bit of excess heat, so use 'Clear Lung Metal,' rubbing about 300 times should be enough."

Daoist Jin's hand speed is unparalleled; he finished pushing the paper in a flash, three hundred times.

Strangely enough, just now the child's airway sounded a bit gurgling, but after Daoist Jin pushed the child, the child coughed up a couple of phlegm, and the breathing sounded much clearer.

"Come, come! Let me massage your Yingxiang Acupoint again."

The Yingxiang Acupoint is located in the nasolabial groove, level with the midpoint of the outer edge of the nostril. Daoist Jin gently pressed his thumbs on the child's Yingxiang Acupoint and gently rubbed them.

The pressure is gentle, and the movements are light and quick.

After about three minutes, the child happily exclaimed, "Mommy, my nose doesn't hurt anymore!"

"Thank you, doctor. Thank you, doctor."

The child's mother thanked him repeatedly, Daoist Jin smiled and said there was no need to be polite. He then told the child's mother to take the child downstairs to get the medicine.

"Ziyang, did you understand the technique just now?"

Daoist Jin tidied up his paper and pen, and chuckled.

"I understand half of it, Master."

Su Ziyang chuckled and rubbed his hand.

"The main problem is that my hand speed can't keep up with yours."

Daoist Jin and waved to Su Ziyang, signaling Su Ziyang to come over.

Su Ziyang leaned closer, thinking that Daoist Jin was going to tell him some secret.

Suddenly, a heavy blow came crashing down on his neck. The sound of it snapping made Su Ziyang jump.

"Is that hand speed fast?"

Daoist Jin glared at him.

"Pretty fast, Master!"

Su Ziyang grinned, rubbed his neck, and continued his witty banter.

Are you done with your work?

"Yes, I just finished work and came to see you. I saw a few minor patients this morning, mostly acupuncture, so I was quick. About ten patients in total."

Su Ziyang reported truthfully, Daoist Jin nodded, quite satisfied with Su Ziyang's progress.

"Hey, that old guy actually came out."

Su Ziyang was talking to Daoist Jin when he heard a familiar voice at the door.

Looking back, I saw two figures standing at the doorway.

Mr. Mengfei, Yang Tianzheng.

"Master!"

Su Ziyang was both surprised and delighted.

"Hehe. How about it, you little rascal? Let your master see if you've been slacking off?"

Yang Tianzheng and Mr. Mengfei spoke in unison.

"No! Look at me! My progress is incredible, it's not just ordinary progress, it's extraordinary progress!"

Seeing his two masters whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Su Ziyang couldn't contain his excitement.

"Get out! Get out!"

The two of them spoke in unison again, pulling Su Ziyang aside.

Mr. Mengfei ran up to Daoist Jin like a child, pinching Daoist Jin 'Daoist Jin hair bun, his beard, and Daoist Jin hand.

Then, very seriously, he said, "It's different now that you're out of seclusion. The beard and hair are real! The hands are beautiful too. They're made of flesh! The face is beautiful too, the features are well-proportioned!"

You're speechless now, aren't you?

Daoist Jin remained as disdainful of Mr. Mengfei's antics as ever.

"Look at you, can't you understand what's good and bad? I'm praising you, aren't I, Zhengzai!"

Mr. Mengfei turned around and winked at Yang Tianzheng Yang Tianzheng, who disdainfully moved far away, pretending not to know Mr. Mengfei.

"Get out of here! You two, master and apprentice, are no good! I still have patients here. Hurry up and go to Ziyang's clinic!"

A patient arrived at the door, Daoist Jin waved his hand, chasing all three of them out.

The three of them returned to Su Ziyang's clinic dejectedly.

"Master, if it weren't for you, I would still be studying under Master Jin. Your arrival has kicked me out too."

Su Ziyang pretended to complain about Mr. Mengfei.

Mr. Mengfei glared at him. "What can you learn from him? He's just good at fooling kids! What do you want to learn? I'll teach you! I know more than he does."

"I want to learn pediatric massage!"

Su Ziyang said with a smile.

"Ah! This pediatric massage..."

Mr. Mengfei first exclaimed "Ah!", then stroked his chin, feigning profundity as he shook his head. "Take pediatric massage for example. It's divided into pediatric massage and massage techniques. Children are said to have immature Yin and Yang constitutions, with delicate internal organs, making them susceptible to external pathogens, right?"

Su Ziyang nodded in agreement, and Yang Tianzheng chimed in, "Yes, yes, I've heard about that too. I wonder if Teacher Mengfei has any insights into the word 'massage'!"

"That's simple! It's massage, the so-called 'pushing and grasping'!"
