I Can Talk to the Internal Organs-Chapter 71 - 64: Don’t Hold Back Your Five Viscera
"Why are you stretching your back, and why are you staring at the sun?"
Early in the morning, Tian Xuelin ran to the neighborhood where Lu Jiu lived.
Getting up early was still difficult for him, but once he did, Tian Xuelin felt like the air he was breathing was a bit fresher.
"Exercising my eyes," Lu Jiu said.
"You can exercise your eyes?" Tian Xuelin asked curiously.
"I don’t know, a friend taught me this, so I’m giving it a shot," Lu Jiu replied.
Tian Xuelin nodded, "Yesterday, our director contacted me, asking me to hand over a gift to you. He said he really wants you to help heal his brother-in-law. I didn’t accept it."
"I don’t know what’s going on with his brother-in-law, but it sounds like they’ve already tried many hospitals and couldn’t find a solution. Taking on a hot potato like this will surely be troublesome. I think you should find an excuse to refuse."
Lu Jiu smiled, "I’m well aware, and if there’s really nothing I can do, I certainly won’t take it on."
Wei Jun’s symptoms were somewhat troublesome, but it didn’t mean there was no way at all; it’s just that the treatment might take a very long time.
Moreover, if he can’t persevere in changing his lifestyle, indulging in bad habits while undergoing treatment, I can easily notice it right away and can completely give up then.
But if he really changes and genuinely hopes to regain his health, as a doctor, Lu Jiu has no reason not to help.
"Don’t overexert yourself," Tian Xuelin said.
"Enough chatting, let’s practice the Eight Vajra Skills," Lu Jiu said.
Upon hearing this, Tian Xuelin stopped persuading and awkwardly started practicing the Eight Vajra Skills as taught by Lu Jiu.
An hour later, the two finished early and returned to their respective jobs.
At Lu’s Clinic, Lu Mountain had already opened the clinic ahead of Lu Jiu.
But besides Lu Mountain, there was another person.
"Dr. Lu, good morning," Wang Li waved with a smile.
"Here so early today?" Lu Jiu smiled.
These days, Wang Li had come twice, and Lu Jiu used all his skills. For now, he could only help Wang Li relieve pain. His Du Meridian still showed no significant change, even with the Mountain Burning Fire Needle Technique. The treatment efficacy was still average.
This demonstrates how extremely difficult it is to repair the meridians once they are damaged!
"I’m going on a long trip this time, worried that the pain might flare up and immobilize me. Coming here to adjust first, I have to say, after three treatments, the pain feels much less than before. I feel my waist is more powerful than it used to be," Wang Li said with a smile.
"Really, then let’s continue the treatment," Lu Jiu said.
"Alright, sure!" Wang Li is skillfully lying on the small bed, waiting for Lu Jiu to prepare all the necessary steps.
Lu Mountain, on the side, pointed to Lu Jiu’s computer, "Open that forum of yours, I want to take a look."
Lu Jiu smiled as he clicked the mouse, "Aren’t you heading to the square for a walk today?"
Lu Mountain said, "Liu’s kid is in the hospital, Li’s heart disease has relapsed, fewer and fewer acquaintances around, what’s the point of going?"
Coronary heart disease?
Indeed.
This year, the Five Elements and Six Qi are especially unfavorable for heart disease patients!
"Still Mr. Huang Fusheng’s lecture?" Lu Jiu accessed the lectures section of Chinese Medicine Home.
"Yes, his talks suit my fancy," Lu Mountain said.
"Alright, go ahead and watch." Lu Jiu opened Master Huang Fusheng’s video. Lu Mountain then put on the headphones and sat beside, listening intently to the lesson.
Returning to the medicine cabinet, Lu Jiu took out the finest needles and performed acupuncture on Wang Li. This was followed by preparing mugwort and ginger.
When the Qi arrived, Lu Jiu withdrew the acupuncture needles at Zusanli and Guan Yuan acupoints.
"When you can do some big stretching exercises with your waist, I’ll teach you a regimen practice that might help with your illness," Lu Jiu said.
"Oh? Can this regimen cure my illness?" Hope flashed in Wang Li’s eyes.
"I can’t promise that, you’ll only know by practicing it yourself. Anyway, it’s certainly better than doing nothing, right?" Lu Jiu said.
The Eight Vajra Skills were passed down by Taoist Master Zhang Zhishun, who clearly stated that it has a role in curing illnesses. Although such a highly respected old Taoist master would never lie, whether it’s effective or not still needs practical verification.
Unfortunately, Lu Jiu himself has pretty good health, so despite having practiced the Eight Vajra Skills for so long, he hasn’t experienced any disease-releasing reactions. Yet from college until now, he hasn’t even caught a cold.
Whether it’s due to the Eight Vajra Skills or not, Lu Jiu remains skeptical.
After all, everyone’s body constitution is different; perhaps he was already robust without practicing the Eight Vajra Skills?
"Dr. Lu, I’m here!"
Just as Lu Jiu was chatting with Wang Li, Wei Jun walked into the clinic.
Coming with him was a woman.
Lu Jiu hadn’t met her, but judging from their expressions, she should be Wei Jun’s wife.
"Take a seat," Lu Jiu said.
Wei Jun nodded and obediently found a chair.
But his wife, Li Xiaxia, couldn’t hold back and asked, "Doctor, his illness can be cured, right?"
Lu Jiu replaced the mugwort for Wang Li, "Have you been to the hospital for a checkup?"
Li Xiaxia looked to Wei Jun, who nodded.
Lu Jiu said, "The problems I mentioned, do you have them all?"
Wei Jun continued to nod.
Lu Jiu said, "Since that’s the case, I believe the hospital has also given you their opinion, right?"
Wei Jun fell silent.
Li Xiaxia was about to speak when Lu Jiu said, "I’m just a small Chinese medicine doctor; my skills aren’t as great as you think. Being able to gradually adjust his condition is already me giving it my all. Completely curing it is very difficult, so please don’t ask me if it can be cured. If there really was a doctor who could guarantee a full cure, you wouldn’t need to come to me, right?"
Hearing this, Li Xiaxia also lowered her head and stopped speaking.
She just wanted a definite answer, but it seems such matters indeed often lack a clear answer.
"Why do you eat so recklessly!" Frustrated, Li Xiaxia vented at Wei Jun.
If this foolish one hadn’t failed to correct his bad habits, he wouldn’t be in this situation now.
Faced with the scolding, Wei Jun had no retort, shrinking on the chair and taking the reprimand quietly.
Soon, Lu Jiu finished Wang Li’s treatment. As Wang Li left, Wei Jun promptly sat in front of Lu Jiu.
"Your situation probably doesn’t need me to say more. Even though there are many illnesses, the primary symptoms are excessive liver heat and blood deficiency, and also some kidney yin deficiency. Once these are adjusted, your other ailments will also improve."
"So, you should no longer worry about how many illnesses you have; try to maintain a calm mindset. Just as before, whether you’re sick or not, life goes on. However, a mindset is one thing; you must pay attention to your eating habits and lifestyle. Put it this way, as long as you start eating regularly and sleep on time, healing these illnesses will be much easier," Lu Jiu said.
This is strategizing lightly against the enemy, while tactically taking them seriously.
Illnesses can be scary, yet the body’s Five Viscera are innately set to combat them, provided you give them the time and space to recuperate.
Maintaining a good attitude is most crucial; when faced with illnesses, you mustn’t panic. Just because someone says this illness is incurable, doesn’t mean you should give up; the doctor can’t either.
Think about it, the Yue Family Army representing your five viscera is fighting at the front line, needing your help, and yet you are acting like Zhao Gou, panicking and dragging down your family’s five viscera. Once you fall ill, you wonder why things are like this. In such a case, which family wouldn’t seize the opportunity and revolt, overthrowing this foolish ruler?
