Chapter 212: Ghost Hand Magic
It's hard to find other things at the border of this barren and cold place, but there are plenty of corpses.
It was freezing cold, and although the body had been frozen hard after being buried for over a month, it was still extremely fresh, with no sign of decay and no pungent corpse odor.
Of course, they would not trample on the bodies of their own soldiers if they could avoid doing so. The bodies that Wu Qizhen and the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor found were enemy bodies buried more than ten miles north of Guanmen.
Wu Qi was directing three disciples to use pointed iron pickaxes to dig up the frozen ground, which was half a meter wide and ten feet long. He said confidently, "There is a big pit with more than 300 enemy corpses buried here. As long as we dig three feet deep, there will be corpses underneath."
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor would not do such physical work. After being the supervisor for half a day, he saw three sweaty laborers wasting their energy for a long time but still hadn't seen any trace of the corpse. He got up and left impatiently, using his lightness skills to tour around the top of the hill next to him.
The north wind howled, and as it passed through the two hills, it made a sharp sound like the howling of ghosts and wolves. A few wild wolves followed the scent and came to join in the fun, squatting at the edge of the dense forest on the top of the mountain, howling one after another.
Fortunately, these doctors were used to seeing dead bodies, so they were not afraid when facing the mass graves. Mr. Wu also personally wielded an iron pickaxe and joined in the digging.
Seeing that his master was doing the work himself, the young Xiao Ziyu worked even harder. When he dug with a pickaxe, he felt something strange: a piece of fur was exposed under the frozen soil.
"We've reached the depth! I've dug up a corpse!" After shouting excitedly, he swung the pickaxe in his hand even harder.
When the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor heard the shout, he immediately jumped down and ordered the four laborers, "Pick two complete bodies with no missing arms or legs. No broken ones!"
After working for another half an hour, the four exhausted laborers finally picked out two corpses that met the requirements of the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor.
Seeing the four laborers collapsed on the ground, Ghost Hand Poison Doctor raised his short eyebrows and said with disdain, "Those who only practice medicine but not martial arts are really useless! If I do it myself, I can dig up the corpse pit in less than half an hour and pick out twenty qualified corpses."
Xiao Ziyu, whose head was covered with sweat and whose hands were covered with blisters, was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he heard this!
You old man, we, the master and the apprentices, spent an hour and a half working hard to produce the two qualified corpses you wanted, and you are still mocking me. One person can produce twenty qualified corpses in half an hour, why don't you do it yourself? !
Xiao Ziyu, who dared not speak out but was angry, stared at the insidious and shameless Ghost Hand Poison Doctor with angry eyes, wishing he could spit at his ugly face. However, all his resentment and anger were eliminated by his master's words.
Wu Qizhen's voice was still slightly panting, but it was extremely respectful. "Brother Ghost Hand, we have found a qualified corpse. Where are you going to give lectures to the four of us?"
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor waved his hand in annoyance, "How can I cut open a frozen corpse? Bring it back to the barracks and let it cool down with the heat. I will explain and teach you while I dissect it."
The two hard bodies rested in a camp with a brazier for half an hour and had become soft. The four masters and apprentices, exhausted and with sore hands and feet, gathered around the wooden table where the bodies were placed after dinner to observe and learn.
The light from four tallow candles, each as thick as a baby's arm, illuminated the hairs on the corpse clearly. The room was filled with a spooky ghostly atmosphere, but it did not scare these doctors who had dealt with too many dead people.
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor used the peculiar scalpel in his hand to dissect open a Khitan corpse, explaining the structures of various internal organs as he did so. The heart, liver, lungs, spleen, intestines and stomach in the opened chest and abdominal cavity left Wu Qizhen and his three disciples dumbfounded.
These so-called surgeons usually perform surgical operations such as sawing arms and chopping legs, cutting dead flesh and removing arrows, and bandaging wounds to stop bleeding. They have never seen the detailed appearance of the internal structure of the human body.
Looking at the four fools' stunned expressions, the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor proudly showed off his magical and superb skills, and generously taught them the knowledge from the human body's internal organ structure diagram given by his master, adding his own experience.
The master said that he was taught these miraculous surgical skills so that he could spread them to the world. Wu Laoer, the famous surgeon, was also shocked like a fool who suddenly saw the magic. The sense of accomplishment and pride of the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor was simply overwhelming!
: "Look! This is the heart. Doesn't it look like a big black and red peach?
My master said that if a person's heart stops beating due to a sudden blow or drowning, as long as the chest is pressed and the air is passed through, the heart will restart and the seemingly dead person can be saved. "The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor squeezed the heart in his hand like a toy. Fortunately, the blood inside was still frozen, otherwise,...
Wu Qizheng asked in a trembling voice, half-believing, "Can you save a person whose heart has stopped beating? Brother Ghost Hand... No! Master Ghost Hand, is your master the one with the best medical skills in the world? Who... who is he?"
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor glared with dissatisfaction at the old man who dared to question him, but because he respectfully changed his name from Ghost Hand Brother to Ghost Hand Master, he did not cut his stinky mouth with the scalpel.
“I claim that my medical skills are second to none in the world, so the best medical skills in the world must be my master!
My master said that if a person's heart suddenly stops beating, he can be saved! Master can also save the life of a heart disease patient with a congenital disease!"
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor thought to himself, I am not bragging. My master cured Xiao Wuji, who had a congenital disease, by himself, and I even assisted him during the operation! You stupid bumpkins are so brave that you dare not imagine what kind of magical medical skills that is.
Wu Qi thought about several famous doctors in the world today, and asked uncertainly, "Master Ghost Hand, is your master the divine doctor Qin Yi?"
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor was really angry this time, and he raised his leg and kicked Wu Qizhen, causing him to fall.
"Qin Yi? Bullshit!... Old Qin Yi is not even worthy of carrying my shoes, how can he be worthy of being my Ghost Hand's master?!"
The three disciples hurried over to help their master up and glared at the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor!
"Old Ghost Hand! You...you should go too far! If you want to humiliate our master, we will not learn your crappy medical skills!" The eldest disciple Qin Cheng cursed angrily.
Liu Ran and Xiao Ziyu were so angry that their faces turned red, and they rushed over to seek justice for their master.
"Come back!" Wu Qi stood firm, enduring the pain in his abdomen, and hurriedly stopped the two disciples. He bowed and said, "Master Ghost Hand, please calm down. It was me who was reckless and offended you. I was wrong to make false accusations against your master. Please forgive me."
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor waved the scalpel in his hand a few times. His face was grim under the candlelight, and his tone was even more grim and disdainful. "Humph! If it weren't for my master's order to spread this miraculous surgical skill to the world and cure the suffering of the world, you and your disciple, Master Wu, would be dreaming if you wanted to learn medical skills from me!"
Wu Qizheng raised his hand to stop the three furious disciples. He did not have a trace of anger and indignation after being humiliated. His attitude became more respectful and humble. "Master Ghost Hand, your master... my master must be a medical god with noble medical ethics, a heart of a bodhisattva, and compassion for all living beings.
Since the Grandmaster has ordered you to spread the miraculous medical skills to the world, I, your humble disciple, have also put in a lot of effort in surgical skills. Master Ghost Hand, please follow the Grandmaster's teachings and teach me."
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor secretly laughed in his heart. Wu Qizheng, this old man, is quite a ghost! He is a talented person with great potential. "Humph! If it weren't for your painstaking efforts in studying surgical medicine for many years, why would I choose you four useless people to teach this amazing medical skill?"
After scolding, he put the scalpel into the cloth bag, took out the tweezers, suture needle and some homemade catgut, and said, "Watch this! How to suture the wound."
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor used the peculiar tweezers and needle and thread to suture the wound in layers under the extremely flexible hands of the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor.
Wu Qizheng and his three disciples stared with their eyes wide open, not blinking, their mouths wide open in shock, their hearts beating wildly! The humiliation and abuse they had suffered before had long been thrown out of their minds, and they wanted to kneel down and worship Master Ghost Hand's immortal magic!
