Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 877: 217: Zheng Suyu Regains Consciousness!_5

...

Because Zheng Suyu’s condition was very bad.

So, the next day, Ni Yang began to prepare to use the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles.

Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles involved not only medical problems but also metaphysical issues. Ni Yang had looked up quite a bit of material during this time and found that many people had suffered the backlash of the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles.

Only people blessed with continuous fortune could perform the needling.

After her resurrection, Ni Yang had once saved two people’s lives. Before her resurrection, she was also charitable, having supported many orphanages and impoverished regions, using her medical skills to treat many people.

She should be considered a person with blessings.

Ni Yang prepared all the tools and then said to the Elders Zheng at her side, "Grandpa, Grandma, I am going to perform acupuncture on Great-aunt now. Please leave for a while, and during this time, don’t let anyone in."

The Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles were most taboo against disturbances from outsiders.

Elder Zheng nodded his head, "Okay Yangyang, you do the acupuncture with peace of mind. Your grandma and I will stand guard outside the door, and we won’t let anyone come in."

"It’s hard on you and Grandma."

"It’s what we should do." As long as his sister Zheng Suyu could get better, Elder Zheng was willing to do anything.

Elder Zheng left with Elder Mrs. Zheng, and in the blink of an eye, only Ni Yang and Zheng Suyu, who was lying in bed, were left in the room.

Ni Yang first took out her self-made ointment.

The ointment was light yellow, not smelling of medicine but rather of a faint fragrance of flowers.

This was an ointment Ni Yang had made from gathering various flowers, along with Solomon’s Seal and fleeceflower root, specially for Zheng Suyu’s illness. According to ancient texts, using this ointment while performing the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles would produce twice the effect with half the effort.

Ni Yang dabbed a bit of ointment with her finger and then slowly twirled it onto the tip of the needle.

A total of thirteen gold needles.

They corresponded to: Renzhong Acupoint, Shaoshang Acupoint, Yinbai Acupoint, Daling Acupoint, Shenmai Acupoint, Fengfu Acupoint, Jiache Acupoint, Chengjiang Acupoint, Laogong Acupoint, Shangxing Acupoint, and Huiyin Acupoint.

Under normal circumstances, only one needle could be used per day, but Zheng Suyu’s condition was very bad right now, so Ni Yang had to take the risk of completing all thirteen needles in one day.

The ancient texts recorded: "For illnesses caused by a hundred demons running wild, there are thirteen acupoints that must be known, always start with Ghost Palace, then proceed with Ghost Trust, and all will answer. First needle Renzhong, second Shaoshang."

This first needle required extreme caution upon caution.

Moreover, the layout of the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles was different from ordinary acupuncture. The method for the first needle was: diagonally insert the needle from the bottom up, three to five fen deep.

If it exceeded 5 centimeters, the accuracy of the subsequent twelve needles would be for naught, even if they were precisely placed!

Ni Yang sat in front of the window, slowly angled the gold needle into the Renzhong Acupoint, gently twirling it.

The next second, she suddenly let go.

The depth of the needle was exactly five centimeters.

Ni Yang immediately picked up the second gold needle.

Then the third needle, the fourth needle...

Minutes and seconds passed, the cool breeze wafted through the room, yet beads of sweat still appeared on Ni Yang’s forehead.

No wonder the ancient texts said that the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles were extremely sinister, where only one needle could be used per day, and at most not more than three needles.

Ni Yang had only inserted six needles and already felt that her physical strength was almost at its limit.

Ni Yang steadied her spirit, then picked up the seventh needle.

The seventh needle was: Jiache Acupoint.

The needling method was to pierce directly from outside to inside to a depth of one and a half centimeters.

One and a half centimeters was a bit difficult to judge by the naked eye, especially under Ni Yang’s current state of fatigue.

Ni Yang squinted her eyes, swiftly and accurately inserted the needle into the Jiache Acupoint, exactly one and a half centimeters, not a fraction more or less.

For the following six needles, Ni Yang did not encounter any problems.

During this time, Zheng Lingling came once, saw the door tightly closed, and seeing Elder Zheng and Elder Mrs. Zheng guarding the door with grave faces, she asked, "Dad, Mom, what’s going on?"

Elder Zheng was not in the mood to talk, his brow deeply furrowed.

Elder Mrs. Zheng concisely explained the situation.

Zheng Lingling felt panicked inside, wondering if Zheng Suyu was really going to wake up?

This couldn’t be.

She had to get ready.

"I was originally planning to come and see Aunt Suyu, but since Yangyang is performing acupuncture on her inside right now, I won’t disturb them."

With that, Zheng Lingling turned and walked downstairs.

After descending the stairs, she secretly called Doctor Jiang.

Approximately three hours later, the room door opened.

A large beam of sunlight shone in from outside the door, dispelling the gloom inside the room, and lighting Ni Yang’s pale face almost to transparency.
