Chapter 4 Curing the Campus Belle!
”Words?”
”This nondescript and blank page has words in the middle!”
In fact, Fang Qiu had always had a secret deep in his heart, a secret that no one knew, including the old master!
He possessed the ability of Absolute Touch!
Anything touched by his hands would form a clear image in his mind and be deeply remembered.
He discovered this ability in the third grade when he was in primary school.
At that time, he and his friends were playing with glass balls, and one of his beautiful glass balls was gone. It happened that one of his classmates then took out one exactly like the one he had lost.
Naturally, everyone, including him, suspected that this classmate had stolen the glass ball from him.
But when his fingers touched the glass ball, he was surprised to find that he could clearly feel its scratches that were invisible to the naked eye.
At the same time, the scratches on his missing glass ball clearly arose in his mind!
By comparison, he was certain that the one in his hand was not his.
From then on he knew he owned this ability.
And only he knew he had it.
The pity was that it was an ability of no practical value. It could be used to show off in the variety show Super Brain, but it was almost useless in his daily life. Thus, he had not practiced it for so many years that he nearly forgot that he still possessed this ability.
But this ability just worked again!
He actually felt the words with his Absolute Touch.
He was sure that what he had touched were words!
”Is that why the middle-aged man at the gate recommended this book to me?”
Fang Qiu subconsciously wondered.
”Is there a secret hidden in this book?”
He examined the page carefully, but there was not a trace of any writing on it, nor even the roughness. Anyway, it gave the impression of a flat piece of white paper.
However, he did feel the words on it.
This aroused his curiosity about the words.
Without any hesitation, he immediately took the ancient book and the page to the lounge.
As soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to get out a pen, a notebook and the page. He then placed the middle finger of his left hand directly on the page and held the pen in his right hand, ready to write whatever he felt down on the notebook.
With everything ready, he slowly closed his eyes.
The pad of his middle finger moved in a slow way.
Words came into his mind one by one.
”The most important thing in the art of bonesetting is to touch the bone, and then bonesetting!”
”In fact, the method of bone touching all depends on talent, and bonesetting is actually only a small skill; Talent could not be followed, but small skills can be learned and used... ”
The first two sentences gave Fang Qiu a big shock.
He was really surprised.
What high-sounding sentiments!
Almost all ancient books praised highly of the art of bonesetting and wished it could be explained as detailed as possible.
However, this book openly said that bonesetting was a small skill!
”Isn't this a bragging?” thought Fang Qiu suspiciously.
He decided to ignore it for the moment and continue to explore the words with his eyes closed.
His brow furrowed deeper and deeper as more and more words floated to his mind.
And his shock grew.
This was an article entitled The Theory of Bonesetting.
It divided bonesetting skill, which was commonly thought very simple, into three realms: Controlling Realm, Friendly Realm and Conscious Realm!
Besides, the difference between these three realms was dramatic and stunning.
Simply put, the Controlling Realm was that one could perfectly know the characteristics of human bones and could tell the problems of human bones from the body shape, so as to precisely set the bones.
The Friendly Realm meant that one became the friend of the bones and united with them, thus achieving perfect bonesetting at will.
According to the above, Fang Qiu, who already knew something about healing injuries, found that he was still far from the Controlling Realm, let alone the Friendly Realm.
The article said that the highest level was the Conscious Realm.
If the meaning of the Controlling Realm and the Friendly Realm were still within Fang Qiu's ability to understand, the Conscious Realm was far beyond his comprehension.
The theory said that someone could break a bone in an instant with consciousness, and also could make the bone reborn!
This was a description of the Conscious Realm.
This was appalling!
What was even more astonishing was that it actually recorded how to train the Conscious Realm!
This was totally unexpected to Fang Qiu because the way to train the Controlling Realm and the Friendly Realm were not described at all, which looked as if the two realms were not worth mentioning.
He had no idea whether the author of this article was a madman or an unsurpassed master.
According to what had been written on the page, one, who achieved the Conscious Realm, was truly as incredible as a God.
Even he, who bore exceptional cultivation, was frightened by the contents of the paper.
Having finished one side, he turned the page to the other side and attached the middle finger of his left hand to the paper.
Immediately, many pictures of the human skeleton began to emerge in his mind. They were more detailed than the colored anatomical drawings available today.
The detailed pictures of human bones, ligaments, muscles and the like were followed by the pictures of bone injury treatment. Looking at these pictures, Fang Qiu felt as if he was seeing a figure changing rapidly with the pictures.
There were pictures of fingers, fists, legs, back and so on.
It looked like therapy.
In fact, it was more like a person teaching him hand in hand!
Ten minutes later, the figure vanished as the final image emerged.
Fang Qiu slowly opened his eyes, but he was still in shock.
It was not until three minutes later that he came to himself.
”Amazing!”
