âReally,â Ni Yang nodded.
Seeing that Ni Yang didnât seem to be lying, Old Wang didnât press further but said instead, âTo tell you the truth, Iâm quite curious about these Ghost Palace Thirteen NeedlesâŠâ
When two medicine fanatics got together, they entered a state of obsession, completely unaware even when someone came to the house.
âActually, thereâs an acupoint song for the Ghost Palace Thirteen Needles, but because the grandmaster feared outsiders would secretly learn it, it was never recorded in medical texts. Itâs been passed down orally from one generation of disciples to the next.â
âMaster, what is the acupoint song? Iâd like to hear it,â Ni Yang said as she casually picked up a brush, gathered her hair up, secured it at the back of her head, revealing a stretch of fair and graceful neck, her whole being radiated with the vibrancy of youth.
âItâs been too long, and Iâve forgotten,â Old Wang stroked his beard.
âPlease try to remember.â
âLet me think,â Old Wang tried hard to recall, then finally slapped his forehead, âI remember now, âFor all illness caused by myriad demonsâ wild antics, thirteen needlesâ points must one acknowledge, first needle the Ghost Palace to start oneâs round, then needle Ghost Faith, responses abound, one by one in order from head to toe seek, men start from left, women from right, first needleâs place in the center, Ghost Palace is correct, left needle in and right needle out⊠This is the grandmasterâs brilliant secret, mad and malignant spirits all will desert.'â
This was the acupoint song for the Ghost Palace Thirteen Needles.
Ni Yang picked up another brush and quickly jotted down the acupoint song on rice paper with flawless accuracy, her writing speed matching Old Wangâs speaking pace.
The sunlight shone in from outside the door, casting two tall shadows.
But nobody noticed this.
âMaster, the acupoint song corresponds to the thirteen major acupoints of the human body. Generally speaking, as long as you target these thirteen major points, there wouldnât be much room for error.â Yet Ni Yang felt that it couldnât be that simple; there must be something missing.
Old Wangâs eyes lit up, âYangyang, your brush writing is quite good! Young people nowadays who can write with a brush are few and far between.â
Nowadays people use fountain pens, ballpoint pens, pencilsâŠ
Old-fashioned things like brushes have long been phased out.
But Old Wang was different; after all, he had lived through that era and was a man who cherished the past, so he always kept brushes, and only used brushes at home.
Ni Yang smiled and said, âMaster, you have a good eye! I also think my writing looks quite niceâŠâ
Old Wang didnât feel that his disciple was being vain at all and nodded, âOf course, could my eye for talent ever be poor?â
Outside, the corners of a manâs mouth twitched.
âDad!â
Just then, a rough male voice rang through the air.
Old Wang was stunned.
Was he hearing things?
âDad!â
Old Wang turned around sharply and saw the son he had been longing to see.
Two years apart, and that rascal seemed to have grown tall again.
âDad!â Wang Zeqi walked over and embraced Old Wang, his voice trembling.
Old Wang couldnât help his eyes from reddening.
He even doubted if he was dreaming.
Old Wang stealthily pinched his thigh.
Ouch!
It hurt like hell!
This wasnât a dream.
âDad, Iâve missed you so much!â Wang Zeqi burst into tears.
Boss Wang said with a stern face, âA man should not lightly shed tears, whatâs there to cry about! Hold those tears back!â
Despite being on the verge of tears himself, he was still seriously chastising his foolish son.
Wang Zeqi wiped his face with his sleeve, âDad, whereâs Mom?â
Boss Wang replied, âYour mom went to the vegetable garden.â
The vegetable garden is where they grow their own vegetables since they live in the countryside and have to grow what they eat.
âOh,â Wang Zeqi nodded and then added, âBy the way, Dad, this is my Boss, Mr. Du.â
Old Wang knew of Mr. Du by reputation but had never met him before.
âMr. Du, itâs a pleasure.â
âUncle,â Mr. Du said, twirling his Buddha Beads, nodding slightly.
Old Wang took another look at Mr. Du, feeling that this Mr. Du was very different from the rumors, resembling more a schoolteacher from the Republic era, genteel and elegant.
Just then, as if suddenly remembering something, Old Wang gestured to Ni Yang, âYangyang, come here. Ziqi, this is the apprentice Iâve taken on recentlyâŠâ
Before Old Wang could finish speaking, Ni Yang smiled and said, âMaster, Iâve already met my senior brother.â
With that said, she greeted Mr. Du, âMr. Du.â
Mr. Du nodded in acknowledgment.
Old Wang exclaimed in surprise, âYangyang, how do you, how do you two know each other?â
Ni Yang succinctly replied, âMaster, isnât there a family portrait in the living room? One day I saw someone on the street who looked exactly like senior brother from the portrait, so we got to know each other.â
