Chapter 1051: Acupuncture Bronze Man

. We have to show those damned Chinese how powerful the X-Men are."He had a close relationship with the deceased Fifth Squad captain, Kings, and was eager to avenge his friend."Yeah, Captain," said Ka...After he said this, there was another uproar from the audience. In fact, Jin Taixuan's words were utter nonsense and illogical.

Korean medicine is ultimately derived from Traditional Chinese Medicine. This is a fact that cannot be determined by a single challenge.

But now that people have challenged us, Traditional Chinese Medicine naturally cannot refuse, or else it would show a lack of confidence.

On the Chinese side, no one came forward to object. In their view, defeating Korean medicine would be a piece of cake, so there was no need to engage in this verbal battle, as it would make them appear lacking in confidence.

Even if, for the sake of argument, we say you lost to a Han medicine practitioner, so what Even if they learned from traditional Chinese medicine, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the master to be defeated by their own student

Kim Ta-hyeon completely ignored the audience's opposition and continued, "Today, Korean medicine challenges Traditional Chinese Medicine in a three-match competition to determine the victor. We will use a best-of-three format."

The first round is acupuncture competition, the second round is diagnosis competition, and the third round is herbal medicine prescription competition.

"If you feel any of these are not your forte, please let us know and we can make changes."

Ye Bufan smirked, "The Bangzi country side has already finalized the project and must have done a thorough preparation beforehand."

"Now that it's been brought up, if the Chinese side proposes changes, they'll immediately appear to be at a disadvantage. If they don't change anything, then we'll let them take full advantage. It's truly a clever scheme."

But he didn't care, for in the face of absolute power, all small tricks were nothing.

He waved his hand and Cao Xinghua said to the stage, "It doesn't matter, as long as you put forward a challenge, we Chinese medicine practitioners will accept it all together."

"Okay, since the TCM practitioner has no objections, let's settle on this."

Jin Tai Xuan said, "In order to ensure the fairness and impartiality of today's Medical Competition, and to avoid disputes during the competition. "

We have specially invited Dr. Alice, the president of the World Medical Association, to be today's judge and witness of the competition. Please welcome Dr. Alice to the stage.

Alice stepped onto the stage, gave a few routine remarks, and then sat down in the referee's seat. The competition officially began.

Now we begin the first challenge match, a test of acupuncture skills.

Jin Tae-Xuan finished speaking and waved his hand to the audience below. Immediately, four people carried a box onto the stage.

That chest was extremely heavy. Even four strong young men struggled to carry it. Everyone was very curious and wondered what was inside and how it was related to the competition

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the four people placed the box in the center of the ring and then removed the lid, revealing an ancient bronze statue.

This bronze figure is about the size of an adult, perfectly proportioned. Its body is covered in countless tiny holes.

After seeing this bronze statue, the traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in the audience immediately became agitated. One by one, they excitedly stood up, their eyes fixed on the bronze statue.

Especially Cao Xinghua and Wang Xuande, a few old men, were so excited that their beards trembled.

"My goodness, this is actually an acupuncture copper figure."

"It's really a bronze acupuncture model! I never thought that in my twilight years, I would have the fortune to see a bronze acupuncture model."

"Oriental Hui Zhong curled her lips: "It's just a piece of junk. What's so exciting about it How much do you think this thing could sell for"

Ye Bufan instantly had a black line on his forehead: "This isn't just ordinary scrap metal, okay This is a acupuncture copper man."

Dongfang Huizhong asked, “What use is this thing”

"Of course it's useful, it's an antique after all. For Traditional Chinese Medicine, it's priceless."

Ye Bufan began to explain to her, "In the fifth year of Emperor Renzong's reign during the Northern Song Dynasty, Emperor Renzong ordered Wang Yicheng, a physician at the Imperial Academy, to create a bronze acupuncture and moxibustion model."

Its height is similar to that of an average adult. The front and back chest can be opened to reveal the internal organs. The copper figure has acupuncture points carved on its surface, with the name of each point inscribed beside it.

At the same time, yellow wax was applied to seal the pores on the copper figure's surface. Water was then inserted into each pore. If the acupuncture point was located accurately, when the needle was inserted, water would flow out; if the point was not located correctly, the needle could not penetrate.

During the Ming Dynasty, acupuncture copper figures were also created. They were recast by order of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty based on a Northern Song Dynasty copper figure and completed in the eighth year of Zhengtong.

However, due to the long passage of time and subsequent wars, all these acupuncture bronze figurines have been lost, and their whereabouts remain unknown to this day.

"So you're saying this acupuncture copper man belongs to us, and I should go get it back right now"

Dongfang Huizhong was about to jump onto the stage when Ye Bufan hurriedly pulled her back.

"Auntie, what are you doing Can you just calm down"

"You said this was ours, didn't you Of course we have to take it back."

Oriental Hui Zhong said it plainly.

“This thing must be from our Chinese civilization, but it has been lost for hundreds of years, so it’s impossible to say who it belongs to.”

Just like many of China's national treasures are on display in museums abroad, and we can't bring any of them back, that's the same principle.

"Eastern Hui Zhong said indignantly, "What are we going to do Are we just going to give up"

Ye Bufan said: "Of course, acupuncture copper figures are treasures of our Chinese medicine. Since they're back, we can't let them take them away again."

"But it's not right to grab something in front of everyone, you don't have to worry about it. I'll get it back later."

After the excitement, Lou Baining, Cao Xinghua and others also sat slumped in their positions.

Knowing full well it's their own beloved, yet unable to do anything about it, this feeling is incredibly suffocating.

Perhaps this was also one of the purposes behind Team B bringing acupuncture copper figures, to demoralize everyone during the competition.

On the stage, Jin Taixuan wore a smug expression, clearly pleased with the reactions from the audience below.

"Our first challenge to Chinese medicine is a test of speed in acupuncture."

This acupuncture copper man has a total of 354 acupoints. The time limit is one minute, and the winner is the one who inserts the most needles into the acupoints.

Then he explained the detailed rules to Alice again. First, the needle must be fast, then accurate, and finally with enough force. Mercury must flow out for it to be effective.

Everything is ready. Jin Taixuan looked down at the audience, "Since this challenge was proposed by a Korean physician, we will send someone out first to give you an example. We hope that you have the strength for us to send out stronger players."

Then he called out to the audience: “Miss Lee Zhixuan, please come on stage.”

After he finished speaking, he walked down the stage. At the same time, a slender woman with a ponytail walked up from below.

As soon as this woman stepped onto the stage, the audience erupted in an uproar. There was no other reason; she was simply too beautiful.

Towering at 1.7 meters tall, she wore a form-fitting outfit that showcased her perfect figure to the crowd. Where it should be prominent, it was; where it should be indented, it was.

If she hadn't walked onto the stage, I really would have thought she was a model going up for a runway show or a beauty pageant contestant.

Lee Zhixuan's expression was cold. He seemed oblivious to the reactions of the audience below. After taking the stage, he walked to the acupuncture copper man and pulled out two three-inch long needles from his pocket, holding them in both hands.

After preparing herself, she took a deep breath and turned to look at the referee Alice beside her. "Head Referee Alice," she said, "I'm ready."

Alice raised her right hand, glanced at the timer on her left wrist, then swung it down with force, shouting, "Go!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lee Zhixuan transformed into a phantom and dashed toward the acupuncture copper man.p, Su Ruyue handed over her work one by one to Su Xiaobo. When they finished their work, it was already evening."Okay, that's all."After delegating all the work, Su Ruyu felt a lightness throughout he...
