421: Thirteen Ghost Needles (Part 2)
Ten thin threads, like spider silk, were wrapped around Su Yu's fingertips, with the other end connected to the tail of the silver needles.
As Su Yu's hands moved nimbly, the silver needles already inserted into the Middle-aged man's body seemed to come alive, full of vitality.
At this moment, the exquisite needle-control technique Su Yu displayed completely surpassed everyone's understanding.
Each silver needle was like an extension of his fingers, the needles moving with his fingertips, the threads intertwining like his will.
In nature, spiders can weave beautiful webs with their limbs. But compared to the miraculous scene Su Yu displayed, even that fell short.
Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate involves thirteen silver needles being applied simultaneously for each treatment.
The first ten are wrapped around ten different fingertips, while the remaining three are repeatedly wrapped around the index and ring fingers of the left hand, and the middle finger of the right hand.
These three fingers need to control two silver needles simultaneously, applying force in different directions. This is one of the reasons why the Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate has always been peerless in its technique.
It is simply too difficult to develop such precise thread-control ability.
There are rumors that the master who originally created the Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate used thirteen silver needles because he was actually different from ordinary people!
He had thirteen fingers!
Therefore, each silver needle was controlled by one finger. Although this level of difficulty was still very high, it was within an acceptable range.
But where do ordinary people have thirteen fingers?
Thus, for a long time, this acupuncture technique, despite having a lineage, never had the opportunity to flourish.
The reason was that its entry requirements were simply too bizarre.
Finally, after being passed down for two hundred years, this acupuncture technique was acquired by another master who also specialized in acupuncture and moxibustion, and was then transformed into its current form.
Su Yu's ability to successfully use it was also thanks to the system's enhancement.
It would be difficult for an ordinary person to practice this acupuncture technique to such a degree without twenty years of professional training!
...Finally.
Under everyone's gaze, the eleventh silver needle flashed out of the box again, precisely piercing the Middle-aged man's lower abdomen.
The Middle-aged man gritted his teeth!
He saw that Su Yu still had two needles left in the needle box!
He knew that if he could just endure these last two needles, perhaps his cancer would have a chance to be treated.
Compared to countless surgeries and the torment of endless radiotherapy and chemotherapy, this little bit of pain now was nothing at all.
The twelfth silver needle descended!
The Middle-aged man's body couldn't help but tremble.
He felt an indescribable sensation within his body.
The areas where the silver needles pierced his internal organs were scorching hot. The thin threads at Su Yu's fingertips were like fuses, pouring streams of hot energy into his body.
This was especially noticeable in his lungs and liver.
The feeling of the internal evil being dispelled was even more relaxing than after each of his radiotherapy and chemotherapy sessions.
It really works!
Acupuncture can truly directly stimulate changes in cells within the body!!
A hint of joy appeared between the Middle-aged man's brows.
"Mr. Su, I can still hold on! Please continue!"
Hearing this, Su Yu shot out the last silver needle from the needle box, piercing an acupoint on the Middle-aged man's head.
The wide span of this needle caught the audience by surprise.
Boom!
The Middle-aged man felt that with this last needle piercing his head, his entire mind became clear.
Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate! The final needle! Needle dropped!
It was at the moment this last needle fell.
The expert doctor from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department of Kyoto Hospital, who had been secretly observing, couldn't help but exclaim!
"Thirteen needles! Why is it exactly thirteen needles so coincidentally!"
"Silver threads entwine needles, qi and blood surge."
"One needle falls, a hundred ghosts are sealed! This is the legendary Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate!!"
The exclamation rang out, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Beside him, another white-haired old doctor, upon hearing the name, seemed to recall something and suddenly understood.
"The first needle enters Renzhong to the Ghost Palace, the second needle to Shaoshang to the Ghost Letter, the third needle to Yinbai to the Ghost Mound..."
"This is indeed the legendary Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate, the most difficult to practice among the hundred acupuncture methods!!"
Su Yu remained calm, his hands continuously moving, his fingertips lightly shifting, continuing the application of the needle technique.
But the surrounding audience instantly erupted into chaos.
Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate!
Just by hearing the name, they knew this acupuncture art was far from a simple acupuncture therapy.
What it contained seemed to be related to ghosts and gods.
Some audience members present who had heard of this name had looks of surprise and uncertainty on their faces.
"Isn't the Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate rumored to be an acupuncture method that treats mental illnesses? Since when can it treat cancer?"
"I heard that the Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate has extremely high requirements for the practitioner! Those without great fortune absolutely cannot apply the last needle! Otherwise, problems will arise."
"The Streamer is indeed using exactly thirteen needles."
"But hasn't this acupuncture method been lost? Why does the Streamer know how to use it?"
Previously, the scientific literacy and research technology Su Yu displayed in front of everyone had already gained global recognition.
But how did a high-tech modern talent like him, who should be researching various Western medical technologies, learn ancient China's inherited medical arts?
This sense of disconnect was too obvious.
To be honest.
Even Su Yu himself, when he had just accomplished all of this, was a little disbelieving.
Let alone his audience.
Three minutes, five minutes, ten minutes... A quarter of an hour passed in a flash.
But the discussions in the live broadcast room and on site never stopped.
Everyone was discussing where Su Yu had learned this acupuncture technique, and also whether the legendary Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate truly had the effect of sealing the ghost gate and reversing aging.
Cancer, a disease that modern medicine struggles to solve, if one day it could truly be conquered.
This would be an unprecedented great leap forward for all humanity.
Su Yu, without realizing it, was already covered in sweat, beads of perspiration dripping from his forehead.
The silver needles inserted into the Middle-aged man's body had also changed color at this moment.
From their initial reflective white, they had turned dark greenish-black. The shiny metallic luster was gone, and a faint fishy odor permeated the needle tips.
"Did you smell that? What is that smell?"
"Everyone, look, the color of the silver needles has changed too!"
"Holy moly! Not just the silver needles, even the threads have changed color!"
"Could that be the toxins from cancerous cell mutation, drawn out from the body by the Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate?"
"Is it that mysterious? So, that acupuncture really can treat cancer?"
"I don't know, we probably won't know until the treatment is over and we see the final cancer cell examination report."
