Chapter 126 Look at the Face

Stall owner: "I'm losing money at the price you offer, how can I sell it?"

He glanced at Pan Yun, and then glanced at the Taoist priests and monks who were surrounding him. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, okay, I'll give it to you, you can go now."

He threw the cloth to the woman angrily, but the woman didn't care. She counted out the enough copper coins, folded the cloth carefully and put it in the basket, then took the child and left.

She glanced at Pan Yun and Miao Zhen and Miao He, turned and walked in another direction, avoiding Hui Yuan.

Huiyuan had been reciting the scriptures all the time, and finally stopped at this moment, staring at her with compassionate eyes.

Just as she walked a few steps forward to avoid Huiyuan, her body swayed and she fell straight back.

Pan Yun stood up instantly, and Huiyuan was prepared and caught her falling body.

The crowd dispersed and gathered again. "What happened? What happened? Why did you faint?"

"Could it be that these Taoist priests and monks are behind this?"

"Bullshit, today is a temple fair, how could Taoist priests and monks do something here? I noticed something was wrong with her face a long time ago, I think these young masters and masters came to remind her, but she didn't listen."

The stall owner immediately said, "Her face was red before, and she didn't look like a normal person. It was obvious that she was ill a long time ago."

Huiyuan ignored the comments, slowly put the person on the ground, pinched her palms, and pressed on her heart, trying to revive her.

The child in her arms fell down due to her pulling, and started to cry loudly.

An adult in the crowd wanted to go forward to hug him and comfort him, but Li Jisi held his hand, picked up the child and handed him over to Miaozhen and Miaohe.

He also squatted beside Huiyuan and asked anxiously: "Master, can you save him?"

If they can't rescue him, those who spoke up will probably be taken to the county government for trial.

How can I explain this to the county magistrate?

Does that mean that everything started from the time he became an apprentice?

Huiyuan pinched and pressed her body, but still failed to wake her up. Miaohe watched for a while and whispered, "We need to bleed her."

Huiyuan was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.

Pan Yun asked Miao He, "Where should I put it?"

"Fingers." Miaohe took a look and said, "Put down all ten fingers."

Pan Jun grabbed her hand and was about to use his spiritual power to pierce her finger to let the blood flow. Tao Ji and Tao Yanbai hurried over, "Junior Sister!"

Pan Yun paused, let go of the woman's hand and stood up.

Huiyuan also immediately stood up to make room for him and said, "She has been down for fifty breaths, and she stopped breathing ten breaths ago."

When the people around her heard her breathing stop, they stepped back in fear.

"If he stops breathing, he's dead, right?"

Tao Ji took a look at her face, then opened his eyelids to take another look, then grabbed the needle bag, pulled out a few needles and quickly stabbed her face with them. He did it so quickly that Pan Yun couldn't even see clearly, and there were seven or eight needles stuck in her face.

He took out a thicker one, tore open her clothes, and stabbed her in the right spot.

Before the onlookers could stop him and say anything immoral, they saw the long needle pierce in and go straight to the root.

The onlookers exclaimed, "This, this, this, it's so long, it can pierce a person, right?"

"It's not piercing through, but it's almost there."

Tao Ji inserted the needle, waited for a moment, pulled it up a little, and gently turned it. After a moment, he took out another needle that was equally thick and long and inserted it into her left breast...

"Hey, this, this, the needle is moving on its own."

The three needles inserted into the chest were vibrating, as if air was pushing them out.

The middle-aged woman breathed suddenly, her chest heaving, her mouth slightly open, and she moaned, "ho ho ho."

Anyone who has experience in caring for the elderly and critically ill patients knows that this kind of groaning sound is the sound they make unconsciously when they are in extreme pain.

Someone on the spot had red eyes and whispered, "She is about to die. That's what my mother-in-law screamed when she was dying. She screamed for three nights and then she died."

"My father-in-law also cried like this before he died. It's useless to treat this. He has reached his end..."

Tao Ji turned a deaf ear to her and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her heartbeat and breathing resume. He grabbed her hand, took out a short and thick needle and lightly pricked her ring finger, middle finger and index finger. Dark purple blood slowly oozed out from her fingertips.

Tao Ji squeezed it, observed the blood, and then pierced three fingers of his other hand.

Then he took the cloth from her basket and put it under her head, raising her up a little bit and putting her arms flat on the ground, and then he started to move the needles on her face.

Her face was flushed and purple, and her lips were also purplish, but after the bloodletting, as more and more black blood came out from her fingertips, her moans became softer and softer, and her eyelids trembled, as if she was about to wake up.

Tao Ji pulled out the needles from her face, and she slowly opened her eyes.

The sky was so bright and blue that it made her dazed for a moment. It took her a while to realize what was happening to her.

Tao Ji glanced at her and said, "You're halfway through your recovery once you wake up, but you still have to be careful, be modest, don't get angry, and eat a light diet."

The middle-aged woman finally came back to her senses, and her eyes immediately fixed on Huiyuan and Pan Yun who were looking down at her.

She suddenly reached out and grabbed Huiyuan's sleeve, shouting, "It's you, you made me fall, what did you do to me?"

Huiyuan: ...

Pan Yun stepped back immediately, and Tao Ji was also shocked and retreated quickly. Suddenly, Huiyuan was the only one left by the middle-aged woman.

Huiyuan could not help chanting a Buddhist name and said, "Donor, you are sick. We just happened to notice that you are sick and wanted to remind you."

"Bah, I'm in good health, don't lie to me."

Seeing her movements getting bigger, Tao Ji quickly reminded her, "Good man, the needle in your chest has not been removed yet, don't move around, be careful not to move it."

She looked down and found that her clothes were torn open. Although only a little below her neck was exposed, it made her eyes go dark, especially the needle was still trembling, which was very scary to look at.

Her eyes rolled back, her hands went limp and she fell to the ground. Huiyuan resigned himself to his fate and reached out to catch her, then put her back on the ground.

He turned to look at Tao Ji.

Tao Ji looked at the woman warily and found that she was really unconscious and was in a semi-conscious state. He stepped forward and pulled out the three needles.

After putting away the needle, he saw that she was still asleep, so he patted her on the head and the woman woke up immediately.

As soon as she woke up, she grabbed Huiyuan again and said, "No, you can't leave. You have to explain clearly what you did to me..."

Tao Ji spoke up for Hui Yuan, "Good man, you are really sick. If you don't believe me, ask everyone, did you faint just now? Or did Master Hui Yuan and I save you?" "Don't lie to me, I'm in good health, how could I be sick?"

"You are just sick," the onlookers couldn't help but speak for them, "Your face looked abnormal, and you fell directly. This master and those young masters didn't touch you. If you don't believe me, ask your grandson if they saved you?"

"Yes, where is my grandson? Where did you take him? Oh, the beggars stole the child..."

The child was between Miao and Miaozhen, chewing a bun in his hand. When he heard his grandmother calling, he ran over, stuffed the bun into her mouth, and coaxed her happily, "Grandma, eat it, Grandma, eat it."

The middle-aged woman dodged Baozi and held him tightly in her arms. The panic on her face dissipated a little, and then she looked up and looked around.

Everyone was looking at her, looking down at her, with different expressions on their faces, some sympathy, some ridicule, some disgust and indifference, and some malicious looks, their eyes fixed on her chest.

The middle-aged woman noticed these chaotic looks, waved away Huiyuan's hand that was about to help her, and got up from the ground. She fiercely glared back at all the eyes that were on her, and shouted, "What are you looking at? If you haven't seen it, go back and take off your mother's clothes and see enough. Have you never had milk since you were a child?"

Seeing the blood on her fingertips, she wiped it on her body without a care. Seeing the cloth on the ground, she cried out and hurried to take it. Halfway through her hand, she was afraid that the blood would stain the cloth, so she shook her clothes, wrapped her hands with the corner of her clothes, picked up the cloth and put it in the basket.

Tao Ji took out a bottle of medicine from his sleeve and handed it to her, "Good man, this is medicine for your finger. Sit down first and let your finger hang down to let it bleed a little more. Wait until the black blood has drained out and then apply the medicine to stop the bleeding."

She glanced at the black blood on her fingers, lowered her eyes to glance at the medicine bottle and said, "I don't have any money to give you..."

Tao Ji said: "No money."

He paused and said, "I am a Taoist priest on Mount Sanqing. Every year during the Sanqing Festival, we have free clinics. This year, we will hold it half a day earlier."

She was slightly stunned and asked, "Are you Taoist priests from Mount Sanqing?"

Tao Ji nodded.

The middle-aged woman was silent for a moment, but still reached out to take the medicine bottle.

Pan Yun still went forward to support her, and helped her sit down in a more spacious place, leaning against the stone wall.

Seeing that she had finally stopped yelling and didn't seem like someone who would blackmail them, Tao Ji stepped forward and continued to treat the wound on her hand.

The woman glanced at Pan Yun, Miao Zhen and the others one by one and asked, "Are you all Taoists from Mount Sanqing?"

Several people nodded together.

The woman said nothing more and let Tao Ji clean her finger and prick it again.

The dripping blood was not only black, but also had a fishy smell. Pan Xiaohei had a keen sense of smell, so he turned around and jumped onto the high wall, staying away from them.

Pan Yun waved and called Li Jisi over, saying, "Why don't you go and see her expression now?"

Li Jisi looked at it for a while and said, "The purple color on the lips has faded and turned a little white, and the face is also red, but not as red as purple."

Pan Yun nodded, "Listen to her voice again. Compare her voice after she woke up with her voice before she fainted?"

"Before she fainted, she was very loud, anxious, and angry. After she woke up, her mouth seemed to be wide open, but the sound she made was not loud, which shows that she was short of energy."

Pan Yun nodded, looked at him approvingly and said, "My senior sister once told me that the art of observing qi and the Chinese medicine of observing words and facial expressions are from the same source. Since you haven't practiced internal skills, then start with the simplest method of observing words and facial expressions. Once you have mastered this, it will be much easier for you to observe the qi around her body."

Pan Yun told him the formula of the art of observing qi, and taught him how to observe people's qi by observing their facial expressions.

Pan Yun didn't know whether he had learned it or not, but when she was teaching him, when he looked at the woman again, he could see the aura surrounding her from her expression.

Pan Yun looked at him steadily, remaining silent.

Li Jisi asked cautiously: "Master, but her temper is very bad?"

Pan Yun raised his eyes and looked at him. "You really put your knowledge into practice. You turned around and used your ability to read people's expressions on me."

Li Jisi lowered his head and laughed, "I'm used to it, I'm used to it, Master, please forgive me."

Pan Yun was silent for a long time before saying, "She is not a bad person, but a miserable person."

"Since you can see it, can you help her?"

Pan Yun: "Aren't we helping her now?"

Pan Yun stood up and left. "You continue to watch. Stare at a few more people and think about the formula of the Qi-Watching Technique. Maybe you will understand it in no time."

Li Jisi was helpless, "Is all Taoism like this?"

"That's right, all Taoist methods are like this," Pan Yun said, "It comes out of my mouth and enters your ears. It is precisely because many things can only be understood intuitively that Taoist teachings are mostly passed down orally, and only external skills are spread through books."

She said, "The art of looking at qi is to look at more people, all kinds of people. Anyway, just look at them. If you don't understand, ask me."

Li Jisi squatted on the side of the road and watched the people coming and going. He picked some people whose faces he could see something different about and asked them about it. Pan Jun told him what their faces looked like, what they represented, and what kind of aura they saw...

Li Jisi listened, compared and made some judgments, and gradually got the idea.

But he still didn't get it. Most of the things he inferred from the face's expression were wrong, so he still had to look at the qi.

By looking at a person's fortune, you can infer his past and future.

Just as the two were racking their brains to teach each other, Wang Feiyin came out from the inner field. Seeing a lot of people gathered here, he came up and asked, "What's the excitement?"

Tao Ji turned around and said helplessly: "Big Brother, there is no excitement, it's just that someone fell ill."

"Who is it? Who is sick?"

The woman leaning against the wall sat up straight immediately. When she saw Wang Feiyin, tears immediately fell down. She choked with grievance and said, "Master Wang..."

Wang Feiyin was stunned, and after taking a closer look at her face, he said, "Oh, it's Xiao Cui, what happened to you?"

Tao Ji opened his mouth wide.

The woman reached out to wipe her tears, but Wang Feiyin quickly stopped her, "Your hand is still bleeding, I'll do it, I'll do it."

He took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears. Seeing the child leaning against her, he said in surprise, "Is this your grandson? You are already a grandmother."

"Yes," Xiao Cui smiled and asked the child to kowtow to Wang Feiyin, "This is your grandmother's benefactor, and also your grandfather's benefactor. Come on, kowtow."

The child knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Wang Feiyin.

Wang Feiyin waited for him to kowtow once before stopping him and picking him up, saying with a laugh, "You're welcome, you're welcome."

He asked Xiao Cui, "What's wrong with you? You're bleeding black blood. It's because you're too angry."

Xiao Cui lowered her head in embarrassment, "I can't change my temper."

"If you can't change it, then you can't change it. As a person, it's better to be straightforward than to be timid. Just don't hold back your anger. Let it out right away. That way your body will be better."
