Part 31: Chapter Thirty-One: Need For Needling

At Last! My plan is bearing it's fruit after long years of labor! With this final, quiet humiliation, the Eight Trigrams Sect will fall to in-fighting and destroy themselves, allowing ME to harvest the fruits of their secret labor!
Soon, the world shall weep and bow at my feet while I crush the last remnants of resistance with a slow, cruel hand!
And it all relies on me simply saving this one pathetic showman!
Mwuhahahahaha!
Anyway, the main reason I don't want to save him is because I will be translating herbs and and pressure points in poetic description. But, I will just skim through those stuff since no one really care about it and I don't want to spend 3 hours researching medical terminology as I mentioned several time.
Note: Has anyone noticed why I named him Chi yet?

Jesus now has a goal, the goal being to save the life of old man Chi, but we will need help from god.
“He won’t intervene in this matter, but he will teach Jesus, and make him the greatest healer.” – Prophet Goon, Nyaa
Mister god, are you researching acupuncture?
That’s right, come here and learn some.
Okay.
Meridians are the channels for vital blood and chi energy while acupuncture points are the maintenance ducts. Any blockages in the flow of chi and blood will lead to sickness, and the goal of acupuncture is to release the blocked passages and free the flow of chi and blood to remedy such sickness.
Each acupuncture point of the human body corresponds to a certain body part, and stimulating the appropriate point will relieve the pain on the corresponding body part.
The irony of poking needles to relieve pain.
For example,
-Stimulating the Shoulder Well Point will relieve shoulder pain and hand numbness.
-Stimulating the Center Stomach Point will relieve coughing, chest pain and tightness, and nerve pain on the side of the chest.
-Stimulating the Big Yellow Point will cure diarrhea and stomach growling.
-Stimulating the Middle Belly Point will relieve stomach arch.
-Stimulating the Curve Swamp Point will cure uncontrollable hand shake and finger joint pain.
-Stimulating the Mark Chamber Point will cure sneezes.
(...Master Flawless could use the last one.)

Mister God.
Ah, you have come. No patients today, so I will use this opportunity to teach you about herbs so you won’t mess up when you make medicine in the future.
Instead of explaining about the herbs, I will just state that God has a very handsome face and you either agree with me or go to hell.
Alright, that’s about it for today, you can leave.
Thanks for the lecture.

Eh!! Mister God is out, how unfortunate…oh, hello mister Flower.
Oh is you. Where is mister God?
Ah, he was out. Do you need something from him?
I been having diarrhea lately, and the belly is making these gu-gu noise, so I am hoping for him to have a look at it.
In that case…if you don’t mind, I did learn a few things about acupuncture from mister God, so please let me have a try!
Hurr hurr hurr, then please do.
Little needle vs thick layers of meat. *poke*

The bird watches the toilet being bombed from a very far away distance.
Ah~~~much better. Thank, kid!

Year Two Early October
Little Moon, Thorny, and Jesus Boy, you three listen up. Today is Honorable Kung’s fiftieth birthday, you three will deliver this present to him for me.
Yes, master.
The bird follows the trio on their way to Luoyang.
Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve been able to leave the valley to have fun. Today I’m gonna party like crazy, isn’t it right, second brother.
You better be more careful, we are there on duty, not to play around. Don’t cause any embarrassment to the valley’s name.
Yea, yea, second brother.
Bro, your second schoolbrother is right, you shouldn’t play too much. Don’t forget we are there to deliver the gift — the Eagle shaped golden crown you are carrying, do not lose it.
Ouch, sorry! I didn’t hit you too hard didn’t I?
No problem!
Bro, maybe schooluncle is here also. Want him to add some spice to your drink?
I hope not!
Enough chatter, let’s go to Kung's mansion. Third brother, take out the gift.
Eh! Where is it? Why is it gone?
How can it be gone? Search harder.
It’s really is gone bro! What shall we do!?
Look at you, I told you to keep it carefully, and now is gone. You sure are unreliable.
Let it go, Thorn. I suspect the lady with black outfit might be the culprit.
Yeah, she did hit on me…
There’s still time before Kung’s party begins, about one time unit, so we should split up and look for it. We will meet at the Kung’s entrance at noon time.
And the schoolbrothers ninja jumped to search through the roof.
Wow, amazing, they actually flew. Alright, I must find the Eagle Shaped Golden Crown before noon time. Maybe I should ask people about the lady.
We are back in Luoyang for Mission one! Everything still the same as before, the guards still complaining about their unheroic post along with other things.
