"Abbot, I think I’ve been discovered..."
Lin Yurong said somewhat nervously as soon as she entered with the alcohol in hand.
Jiangli had already heard the conversation outside.
The distance between these meditation rooms wasn’t very far.
Yao Xuanhang and Cui Wenzhe didn’t lower their voices when they were speaking, which was enough for Jiangli to hear everything clearly.
But she didn’t take it to heart.
"It’s okay, we’ll just find an excuse to bluff our way through tomorrow," Jiangli said, taking the bottle of alcohol from Lin Yurong’s hand, opened the cap, and sniffed, "This liquor is quite strong."
"It seems to be called ’Erguotou’, a kind of strong liquor," Lin Yurong pointed at the characters on the bottle.
Jiangli examined the bottle, "We’ve never had such strong liquor before."
Lin Yurong looked puzzled, "But I remember this type of liquor is quite cheap, haven’t you had it before, Abbot?"
"No," Jiangli shook her head, and not wanting to be doubted by Lin Yurong, she changed the subject, "As long as the strong liquor is enough, that’s all that matters."
Having said that, she went to the bathroom, took a clean wooden basin, poured half a bottle of the strong liquor into it, and then put all the silver needles in to soak and disinfect.
Seeing this, Lin Yurong didn’t dare to interrupt, only looking apprehensively towards the door.
Just now, she had been holding the liquor on her way over when she happened to run into Yao Xuanhang coming out...
By then, it was too late to hide.
She wondered if it would cause any trouble for the Abbot.
Lin Yurong was a bit worried.
But seeing that Jiangli was busy with important matters, she didn’t dare say anything and obediently went to a corner to sit quietly.
After disinfecting all the silver needles, Jiangli took them out and wiped Xia Xin’s arms and the areas around his neck and shoulders with the remaining alcohol.
Once ready, Lin Yurong saw that Jiangli’s movements were quick, firm, and accurate.
In the blink of an eye, Jiangli had inserted several silver needles into Xia Xin’s body.
Lin Yurong didn’t understand anything about acupuncture points, but after seeing Jiangli insert a few silver needles, Xia Xin, who had been twitching gently on the bed, suddenly stiffened. In the next second, his arched body gradually fell onto the bed, slumping down.
The muscles clearly relaxed.
He obviously wasn’t in as much pain as before.
Noticing this, Jiangli stopped what she was doing, picked up a clean towel nearby, and wiped her hands.
Seeing that she seemed to be finished, Lin Yurong then asked, "Abbot, can these needles relieve pain?"
"Mhm," Jiangli said as she wiped her fingers and put the towel down, explaining, "I’ve chosen Baihui, Divine Hall, Ben Shen, Four Gods, Divine Sect, along with Hegu and Taichong, which can calm the mind, stabilize the spirit, and alleviate pain."
Lin Yurong was taken aback for a moment and then asked somewhat bewilderedly, "Abbot... aren’t you from Xuanmen?"
"In Xuanmen, nine out of ten paths include medicine, haven’t you heard?" Jiangli picked up the cup of water on the desk and took a sip, "I picked up a bit of medical knowledge before."
Lin Yurong suddenly realized, "No wonder the Abbot is so impressive."
"It’s just some basic entry-level skills," Jiangli said with a light smile, not thinking it was anything remarkable.
After taking a sip of water to relieve her dry mouth, Jiangli sat down on the small sofa beside the bed and took out her phone.
Xia Xin’s condition would probably need to be maintained for a while.
Since there was nothing else to do...
Jiangli began to look through the messages and notifications on her phone.
Seeing this, Lin Yurong couldn’t help but stretch her neck curiously.
Noticing her action, Jiangli generously said, "If you want to look, come over and see with me. There’s nothing secret anyway."
Lin Yurong was flattered but couldn’t contain her curiosity and her instinctive closeness to Jiangli, so she floated over and huddled next to Jiangli, looking at the messages on the phone together.
The private messages and notifications were mostly asking why they hadn’t started offering free fortune-telling slots today.
Only then did Jiangli remember that she had been so focused on urging Xia Xin to lie down that she forgot to let him post a notice first.
