Chapter 5 5 Refining the Spirit
Chapter 5 5. Refining the Spirit
The blind girl skillfully touched Lu Li's wrist, stretched out three fingers and began to feel his pulse.
The whole set of movements was as smooth as flowing water. It was obvious that she was used to it. The diagnosis speed was also very fast:
"Troubled your mind? Strange, how come suddenly..."
The girl was a little confused, but she didn't think much about it. She just said softly:
"My clinic is nearby. Come with me, young master. I will help you take a closer look."
"Thank you very much."
Lu Li was naturally very happy because his head was in great pain.
Next, Lu Li took the lead, and the blind girl took his sleeve to point the way:
"Go forward three telephone poles... Turn left at a scallion pancake shop... Go straight and you will arrive~"
The girl had a unique way of remembering the way. The two walked through the streets and alleys, and soon they came to a quiet courtyard.
The outer wall of the courtyard was mottled and covered with vines. There was a plaque hanging at the gate with four big characters "Mo's Clinic" on it.
A neighbor saw the blind girl coming back and greeted her warmly:
"Doctor Mo is back. If you want to buy something, just tell me and I'll run errands."
"That's right, how can Miss Wanqing go out by herself."
Lu Li glanced at the girl next to him and thought: Her name is Mo Wanqing, and she is very respected here.
After entering the clinic, Wanqing took Lu Li straight to the west wing.
The furnishings in the room were old, but they were spotless, and there was a brick bed.
Wanqing raised her hand and pointed at the brick bed, saying softly: "Young master, lie down first, I'll give you a massage to relieve it a little."
"Thank you!" Lu Li was feeling very uncomfortable, and when he heard this, he quickly went over to lie down.
Wanqing stretched out her white jade-like hands and pressed along his head.
The jade hands were fragrant and soft, accurately stimulating the acupoints on the head, promoting blood circulation, and supplying more nutrients and oxygen to the brain.
In just two minutes, Lu Li felt a lot more relaxed in his brain, and the pain and dizziness were greatly reduced.
He really didn't expect such an immediate effect, and hurriedly said: "Massage is very effective, I feel much better!"
Wan Qing smiled and said: "This is a good thing, it means there is no serious lesion."
The girl's hands kept moving, and Lu Li felt more and more comfortable, almost like he was floating in the air.
But soon he felt embarrassed again...
Wan Qing was holding a pair of heavy grapefruits in her arms, which could not be contained by the coarse cloth clothes. They bounced in front of her face, making her heart beat fast.
Don't look at them indecently, Lu Li used his strong willpower to force himself to close his eyes.
Beautiful things can nourish the soul.
The excited transmission of electrical signals by neurons transformed the "grapefruit" into a permanent memory, which was firmly engraved in the mind.
The activity of the brain made the blood circulation more vigorous, and the only slight discomfort disappeared.
5 minutes later, Lu Li was fully revived.
But after a hard day, the fatigue could not be eliminated.
He yawned several times in a row with a strong sleepiness.
Wanqing felt the pulse for a while, and made sure that there was no problem, then she said softly:
"You are tired and exhausted, no panacea can beat sleep, young master, take a rest."
The girl's voice was soft and gentle, and the listener felt numb.
Lu Li fell asleep in just one second, and didn't even have time to say thank you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning, the warm summer sun shone through the window lattice, and Lu Li woke up.
There was a bowl of porridge on the kang, which must have been sent by Wanqing.
Lu Li picked it up and ate it up in no time, and at the same time, he glanced at a yellow calendar hanging on the wall-
"1905 Yi Si Year, June 1st, suitable for: travel, trading."
This should be the era he was in, and Lu Li checked the situation of Kunlun Mirror again.
The Kunlun Mirror was still sleeping in the sea of consciousness. Although the situation did not continue to deteriorate, it did not improve either.
Lu Li frowned. If this continued, when would he be able to go home?
But then I thought that the old devil also had magic weapons. It seems that if I want to solve the current dilemma, I still have to practice.
"The practice method in this world is called refining the spirit?"
"Thank Miss Wanqing very much. By the way, ask her where I can learn..."
Lu Li rubbed his face and walked out of the room.
The courtyard of the clinic is not big, but there are some stone locks and other exercise equipment, which makes people feel quite strange.
And Wanqing is sitting in the main room for consultation.
She is wearing a coarse cloth skirt with a slanted collar that has been washed white, but it sets off her skin more tender and watery.
The patients came forward to receive treatment one by one. Wanqing only needs to put three fingers on the wrist and she can diagnose the location of the lesion in a few breaths.
This is the "cut" in the "look, smell, ask and cut". Just by sensing the meridians, you can control the information of the internal organs and qi and blood of the whole body.
But it is more accurate than the instrument, which can be said to be a magical skill. Lu Li was amazed!
Moreover, he noticed that most of the patients who came here were dressed in simple clothes, and the "medical fees" were some steamed bread, pancakes, and some even brought a large bundle of firewood...
Wanqing didn't care at all, and continued to treat patients gently.
The whole room was filled with grateful and flattering voices:
"Doctor Mo is kind-hearted, and good people will definitely be rewarded."
"It is a blessing for our Wopu Street that Doctor Mo can live here!"
...
The blind girl's medical skills were superb, and the patients left one after another soon.
Lu Li walked up and said sincerely: "I am Lu Li, thank you for your help!"
Wanqing's gentle eyes stared into the void, and she said softly: "My daughter Mo Wanqing, it's not worth mentioning for a little help. Are you feeling better, sir?"
"It's all healed. By the way~ Regarding the medical expenses... I am penniless now, but I will pay it back soon."
Lu Li was extremely confident.
Living overseas for many years, he has become proficient in Angsa, Franconian, and similar Illyrian languages.
If you are proficient in three foreign languages, it is not difficult to find a high-paying job.
But Wan Qing shook her head and said, "Sir, the consultation fee will be waived. You also helped me yesterday."
"I can't avoid it, I must repay it."
Lu Li didn't say anything more. No matter how much he said now, it would be empty.
He turned to ask: "I met the old... um... Minister Izumo yesterday. I am very interested in the practice of [Refining God]. I don't know where I can learn it?"
Hearing this, Wan Qing's expression became extremely strange. After a while, she whispered softly: "How old is the young master this year?"
"17 years old, what's wrong?"
"I'm 17 too..." Wan Qing's expression turned melancholy:
"To be honest, I am also eager to step into spiritual practice. I went out yesterday just to buy spiritual books."
The girl touched a book on the table and sighed:
"But we are too old. The practice of spiritual refining revolves around the sea of consciousness. The sea of consciousness will be closed at the age of 18, and there is no possibility of practice. If you are just interested, you'd better not waste your energy."
The sea of consciousness...is the pineal gland!
Lu Li's heart skipped a beat: My sea of consciousness... has been activated by the Kunlun Mirror!
He asked a little eagerly: "I want to try it! Where can I learn?"
Wan Qing understands this feeling very well, because she had the same desire back then, fantasizing about regaining her eyesight through spiritual practice and seeing the world again...
"If you don't mind, Master, I have some introductory books here. You can read them first."
"Very good!"
Lu Li felt like he had found a treasure, and he could not be more grateful to the girl.
In all my life, I have never seen such a gentle and kind person. I must repay them well!
But at this moment, a sweet voice suddenly came from outside the door:
"These books were bought by Wan Qing on a frugal basis, so why should they be read in vain?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a girl wearing a black patrol uniform stepped in.
