Chapter 1378 He Proved We Are Useless

Originally, everyone disregarded Du Heng.

But suddenly, hearing Du Heng ask for a set of acupuncture needles piqued everyone's curiosity.

At this moment, however, everyone was merely curious; no one really believed Du Heng could actually use acupuncture to lower the patient's blood pressure.

If traditional Chinese medicine really possessed such capabilities, it wouldn't be in its current state, being overshadowed by modern medicine.

Right as everyone was curious, Du Heng inserted the first needle into the Baihui (GV20) point.

Watching the long silver needle gradually shorten, everyone present felt their skin twitch.

Isn't this piercing into the brain?

The Deputy Director who spoke earlier felt a jolt in his heart, and was about to shout for Du Heng to stop.

A needle stuck into the forehead was a scene he hadn't encountered or imagined before.

He wanted Du Heng to help him solve a problem, or perhaps make a fool of himself, but he didn't expect Du Heng to drag him into this mess.

Such a long needle going into the head — if not dead, wouldn't it make one a fool?

But at the moment his mouth opened, he promptly closed it again.

Because he saw Du Heng in a deep concentration, and the patient whose expression remained unchanged.

He suddenly realized that if he startled Du Heng at this moment, things might just turn problematic.

As he kept quiet, Du Heng finished inserting the first needle. With his fingers leaving it, the needle appeared trembling in front of everyone.

At that moment, everyone unconsciously exhaled a breath and instantly relaxed.

No wonder people say he has such a great reputation; with the courage to insert needles in such places, it's strange that he's not famous.

While marveling at Du Heng's boldness, everyone simultaneously thought that Du Heng was too adventurous.

Although the patient seemed fine now, just from what they observed, the needle had penetrated at least two centimeters into the forehead.

At this depth, one or two incidents might be okay, but if it happens repeatedly, something significant will eventually occur.

Just as they hadn't finished this thought, everyone tensed their bodies in an instant.

Du Heng, having just paused, picked up another needle and without waiting for reactions, inserted it directly into the patient's left temple.

At that moment among the onlookers, a young female doctor let out a short yet loud voice, "Don't."

What not?

Du Heng's expression remained unchanged, his hand holding the needle was as steady as a mountain.

Only when the needle reached the position he deemed proper did everyone see the slightly trembling long needle again.

At that moment, Du Heng gently turned his head, glancing at the source of the voice, then lowered his head and picked up the third needle.

Meanwhile, Dean Tian, after a long exhale, swept a warning look towards the audience behind him.

Her intention was clear: either stay quiet and watch, or get out.

Just as she finished the glance, Du Heng's third needle pierced directly into the patient's right temple.

These two needles made everyone's heart race continually faster.

The temples!

Even those unfamiliar with traditional Chinese medicine knew that temples are among the deadly spots on the human body.

A slap or hit could make someone faint for a while, what about a needle?

If something went wrong here, the patient's problem wouldn't just be turning into a fool, but losing life, wouldn't it?

And as Du Heng prepared the fourth needle, everyone's gaze towards him became somewhat flickering.

Then, they felt Du Heng wasn't just bold or adventurous, but a bit insane.

Yet this madness showed no sign of halting.

As they were caught in astonishment, Du Heng's fourth needle went directly into the midpoint of the eyebrows, the ophryon acupoint.

In what everyone thought was an area full of bone, Du Heng effortlessly inserted the needle one centimeter.

Amazing, how did he find that gap so quickly and accurately in an instant?

But inserting a needle at this position wasn't as stimulating as before.

Though everyone gradually began to praise Du Heng's skill, the initial tension and fright had faded somewhat.

Then quietly, without blinking, they watched Du Heng pick up two needles and insert them into the back of the patient's neck.

And this acupoint is the back of the neck's GB-20 point.

Almost no one present knew what this acupoint was called or that the GB-20 point has liver calming and subduing Yang effects, and is the simplest and most practical acupoint for treating hypertension.

This acupoint normally doesn't need acupuncture; when feeling dizzy, head swelling, face red and ears hot, simply pressing lightly with both thumbs or rubbing gently with the palm root can show significant improvement.

Once all the needles were inserted into these points, Du Heng finally straightened his waist and exhaled a long turbid breath.

It was obvious that these needle insertions had exhausted much of his psyche.

As everyone thought the needle treatment was over, Du Heng gently rolled up the patient's sleeves.

The sleeves on both arms were rolled above the elbows before stopping.
