Wang Wen Wen Qie!
The process of ancient physicians treating patients, each step was crucial. Although Old Jin had a preliminary judgment on Han San, he still had doubts and needed to continue the examination.
"Han San, what did they do to you just now?" Old Jin asked sternly.
Han San's mouth twitched, and he struggled to stammer, "He he he he he… they used used used used needles to poke poke poke poke poke poke poke poke me me me me me!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Shouyi and Old Jin frowned. Indeed, Hu Chai's third poison was not simple.
"Where did they poke you?" Yan Shouyi pressed.
Han San's body was already numb, and he had little sensation for the slight pain of needle pricks. He could only vaguely describe, "Dududududu…"
"What time is it, and you're still doodoo-ing, calling someone?" Long Feicheng interjected and scolded.
Han San gritted his teeth, "Dududududu belly!"
"My apologies."
Long Feicheng shrunk his head, feeling Yan Shouyi and Old Jin glaring at him. He decided to shut his mouth to avoid causing more trouble.
Yan Shouyi immediately lifted Han San's clothes and found several small needle marks on his abdomen. Fortunately, Yan Shouyi had some knowledge of human acupoints and immediately recognized them:
"Old Jin, it's Shenfeng Acupoint, Zhangmen Acupoint, and Taiyi Acupoint!"
Old Jin frowned upon hearing this, "No, there should be more than these acupoints!"
"There there there there there are also!" Han San said again, "On the back… back… back… the back of the head… head…"
A significant amount of time was wasted on Han San's stuttering.
Yan Shouyi checked one by one and finally identified a few more acupoints:
"Tianzong Acupoint, Hunmen Acupoint, Jingmen Acupoint! Houding Acupoint, Yuzhen Acupoint!"
Even with Yan Shouyi's research into acupoints, the acupoints Hu Chai had chosen were already too complex.
Individually, Yan Shouyi could explain the significance of each acupoint, but when combined, Yan Shouyi was baffled.
He could only look at Old Jin.
Old Jin, uncharacteristically, did not make a judgment immediately. Instead, he furrowed his brow and thought for a long time.
He worried that there might be traps deliberately set by Hu Chai among these needle marks.
Given Hu Chai's personality, he would definitely do something to mislead Old Jin into making a wrong judgment!
Old Jin had to eliminate the interfering information and make the most accurate judgment. This was no different from arranging eight acupoints in permutations, resulting in a total of forty thousand three hundred and twenty combinations!
And the correct answer was only one in forty thousand three hundred and twenty!
Yan Shouyi fell silent. He had guessed that the problem Hu Chai posed would be very complex, but he hadn't expected it to be this complex.
Just selecting the correct answer would take a lot of time, let alone the low probability of one in forty thousand three hundred and twenty, and the high probability of choosing the wrong one!
"No… no, no!"
Old Jin suddenly shook his head and said sternly, "With so many acupoints needled, there are too many possibilities that can cause excitement and stuttering. We need more diagnostic evidence!"
But now, Han San had no symptoms other than excitement and stuttering. Where could they find more diagnostic evidence?
Yan Shouyi looked at Hu Chai, who was eating beef and drinking wine, appearing incredibly relaxed.
He was clearly confident of victory.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Yan Shouyi.
"Old Jin… do you think there's a possibility that this itself is also a problem Hu Chai set for us?" he whispered to Old Jin.
Old Jin was puzzled, "What do you mean?"
"Hu Chai likes to kill, and even more so to torment. The first two poisons made Han San suffer so much. How could this third poison make Han San so comfortable?" Yan Shouyi analyzed, "He deliberately hid Han San's condition, as if he put several locked boxes outside the truth, waiting for us to unlock them one by one and gradually restore Han San's condition…"
Old Jin's pupils constricted.
If that were the case, Hu Chai would be too terrifying.
It wasn't just the depth of his poisoning skills, but also his way of thinking.
When a normal person tries to detoxify, they only think about how to eliminate existing symptoms. Who would have thought that after poisoning, Hu Chai would actively "detoxify" and hide the real symptoms?
If Yan Shouyi and Old Jin proceeded with the normal detoxification approach, even if Han San's excitement and stuttering symptoms disappeared immediately, other symptoms would soon erupt, and Han San would surely die!
"Your conjecture lacks evidence, we must try!" Old Jin said, "Don't you know the Thirteen Needles of Ghost Gate? Do as I say… try Han San's Shentang Acupoint!"
"Alright!"
Yan Shouyi acted decisively, flipped Han San over, then took out the Thirteen Needles of Ghost Gate, found his Shentang Acupoint on his back, and gently inserted the needle.
With the insertion of the Shentang Acupoint needle, Han San immediately reacted!
He stopped twitching, but began to spew blood wildly!
Dog Taoist and the others were shocked. Chang Shan worried, "What's wrong with Brother Han? Could it be that Brother Yan made a mistake?"
"We don't know," Miao Ji shook his head. In the first two rounds of competition, they could understand some of it, but in this third round, they were completely clueless.
"Old Jin, what's going on?!" Yan Shouyi anxiously asked Old Jin.
Old Jin's expression was grim, "Your guess is correct. Han San's condition has been hidden, and the poison in him is not that simple!!!"
"We can't let him keep spitting like this, can we?"
"You know acupuncture. First, seal his meridians. I still have questions to ask Han San!"
Yan Shouyi immediately pressed two points on Han San, which indeed had an effect. Han San stopped bleeding and his face turned pale.
"I I I I I I… I hurt hurt hurt hurt…" Han San said with difficulty.
Yan Shouyi pressed Han San's forehead, as if using the warmth of his palm to make Han San feel the reality of this world.
Old Jin quickly asked, "What color were the needles they used to poke you? Not silver-white, were they?"
"Black black black black black!!" Han San replied urgently.
Another piece of diagnostic evidence!
Old Jin shouted to Yan Shouyi, "Hu Chai and his group smeared the poison on silver needles and then attacked Han San with the poisoned needles. Now, most of the acupoints on his body are infected with the poison!"
"What should we do next?"
"Do as I say…"
Old Jin rattled off a series of examination steps. Fortunately, Yan Shouyi had an astonishing memory and remained calm, following all instructions.
More information was revealed to Old Jin, and with this information, Old Jin gradually figured out Hu Chai's trick.
However, after deducing the result, Old Jin's expression became unprecedentedly grim.
"Old Yan, you were right. Hu Chai has put locks on Han San, and as many as seven! With each poison we neutralize, we unlock one lock. Han San's physical condition will not improve as we detoxify; on the contrary… it will worsen! Only when the last poison is neutralized can he survive. Until then, he must be prepared for hellish torment…!"
