Chapter 380: Lin Yi is Stumped
Speaking of which, Lin Yi suddenly paused.
Then, he quickly glanced around the surroundings.
At this moment, he noticed that hanging right behind the old man was a calligraphy painting.
At the beginning of the painting, it was clearly written, "Dean Lin's elegant calligraphy."
Damn, he's the dean.
If I'm not mistaken, he might very well be the dean of the People's Hospital.
"You, you are, you are Dean Lin?"
"Enough, no need to address me as such. Moreover, it's been decades. I believe you don't recognize me at all."
"Dean Lin, I, I..."
Lin Yi suddenly didn't know what to say anymore.
The words he had just made up were already in his head, but at this moment, he felt there was no need to say them.
Even though he had been seen through, the dean did not expose him on the spot, but rather left him a bit of dignity.
"What technique did you use just now?"
"I, I don't have any technique?"
"You don't have to lie to me. Who is your master?"
"My master?"
At this point, he was even more surprised.
It was obvious that he must have been misunderstood.
Although he was confident in his bone-setting skills, and the other party might believe he had a master behind his achievements.
"Old gentleman, if I said I don't have a master, would you believe me?"
"What? No master?"
At this point, Dean Lin merely paused for a moment.
It seemed he did not quite recognize Lin Yi.
What did this mean? Could it really be that he believed Lin Yi was a genius who learned without a teacher?
"Yes, I really don't have a master."
"So all this, you learned on your own?"
"All of it I learned on my own, and I don't have any other hobbies. I just like to delve into this field."
"Come here, look at this."
The old man seemed to suddenly become interested and eventually took a book from the side table and placed it in front of Lin Yi.
It was an ancient book, and even the binding was completely different from modern books.
Lin Yi didn't understand why he was handing him this book at this moment. Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire
He just looked up at Dean Lin with a puzzled expression.
"What do you mean by this?"
"Open it and look at page 8."
"Page 8?"
He murmured to himself, then flipped through the book, one page at a time.
As he turned the pages, Lin Yi was extremely careful.
Clearly, it must be an ancient tome, at the very least decades, if not a century old.
And the pages were even starting to yellow.
While flipping through, he could hear the crisp sound of the pages.
Lin Yi was really worried that the book would be ruined in his hands, making him a real sinner.
Upon reaching page 8, he saw a picture.
This picture seemed to be a completely hand-drawn depiction of the human body's meridian system.
But this was indeed challenging for him.
Previously, Lin Yi had a complete picture of the human skeleton in his mind.
However, when it came to the meridians, he had absolutely no understanding.
"What is this?"
"Look, this is a complete diagram of the human body's meridian network, which actually corresponds exactly to our bone structure. Now, I have a question I've been studying for many years, and I simply can't understand it."
As he said this, it seemed like Lin Yi fully grasped the situation.
Was Dean Lin testing him or discussing certain issues on his own?
If it was a test, he was afraid that he wouldn't be up to the challenge.
Even if it was to discuss certain issues, he would be helpless because Lin Yi was utterly unfamiliar with the meridian system.
"Dean Lin, please speak frankly."
"Look here, this Tianchi point, should be in the direction of the body's correct bone positioning, right? But if you trace it down, it should lead to the muscle sour point of the body, so what is the corresponding relationship between them? If you try to connect the two, could it pass through the second bone, allowing the meridian blood flow to move away through that place?"
The series of professional terms he used made Lin Yi somewhat baffled.
He slightly frowned.
"Dean Lin, your question is a bit too profound for me, I really don't understand it."
"What do you mean you don't understand? But just now, your actions didn't seem to suggest that, and without more than a decade of practice, the operation you performed earlier simply couldn't have been done."
"But, but regarding your question, I really haven't studied that."
"Impossible, anyone who has studied human skeletal structure must also learn about the meridian system, stop deceiving me."
"Dean Lin, I really... how about this, give me some time to think it over because this question of yours is really quite sudden."
"No need, you don't have to answer right now. Just tell me, can they be connected like that or not?"
"I'm sorry, Dean Lin, I really can't answer you. I must go back and think it over properly before I can tell you the answer."
"How long do you need?"
"That, I'm not sure. Maybe soon, or maybe it will take a long time. As soon as I figure it out, I will contact you immediately."
Hearing his words, Dean Lin indeed seemed somewhat disappointed.
He had thought that he could discuss some issues with this young man, but unexpectedly, he received such a response from him.
"Well then, perhaps I asked too much of you. Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore, have some water."
At this moment, how could Lin Yi possibly drink?
He felt like a primary school student in front of this man.
"Old gentleman, if it had been you just now, would you have been able to complete the bone-setting?"
"Well, if it were me, definitely no problem. To be honest, if you hadn't stepped forward then, I would probably have done so."
"So have you been studying this all along, or did you already know it when you were the dean?"
