Ran Ran felt that the name of the old man's ability sounded familiar from the beginning, but she couldn't remember it for a while. It was not until she was in a stalemate with the old man and her life safety was temporarily guaranteed that she got a chance to catch her then did Ranran have time to carefully observe the silver needles on Shen Dinghai and Dingjunshan.
It is slender and long, light and sharp, and looks like a light silver hair, but as long as the force is precise, it can easily pierce the skin and reach the acupuncture points.
Judging from the old man's strength and skills, his skill of using the Ghost Gate Needle has obviously reached a very profound level.
Logically speaking, as a disciple of Xuanmen, Ranran should have no way of knowing these things.
But the wonderful thing is that Ranran is a disciple of the Xuanmen sect who lives on her own. The books she reads are never assigned by her teachers or parents, but are up to her own wishes. She can read whatever she wants, as long as she can find it in the vast library on the mountain.
Ranran had indeed come across records about the Ghost Gate needles in the library, but she had just flipped through it and glanced at it quickly, so she wrote down the thirteen Ghost Gate needles and thirteen acupoints that she had told the old man about before.
Those are just the most superficial understandings, just like the definitions of terms mentioned by my second nephew, they just expand the meaning and have no further significance.
That book only records the most basic and superficial things.
Ranran learned more about the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles from the little black book.
For some reason, Wu Ning's record of this thing was extremely detailed, as if he had personally used it on someone else, or... he had personally experienced it...
The little black book not only records the various uses of the Ghost Gate Needle, but also writes down in detail the various uses.
Although they are said to have various uses, they can ultimately be classified into one category:
The Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles were first invented by Bian Que. It is an acupuncture method used to treat all kinds of evil and madness. In modern terms, all kinds of evil and madness refer to mental illnesses such as depression, insomnia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and schizophrenia.
Like many things, the Ghost Gate Needle was originally created to benefit the world, but over the course of time, the evil of human nature always changes these good things, thus evolving into another version - an evil version.
The evil ghost gate needle can achieve exactly the opposite effect of the original ghost gate needle.
It can drive a sane person into madness, make a person with sharp eyes and ears confused, and even twist a quick-thinking person into a madman talking nonsense.
The ghost gate needle recorded by Wu Ning in Xiao Hei's book is the latter.
Although Ranran didn't know what changes would occur after the old man's Ghost Gate Needle became his own ability with the blessing of the Fear Cave, he could not escape these two types after all.
Ran Ran calmed down and said in a loud voice, "Old sir, what you are good at is the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles, or the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles?"
Exactly the same name, but completely different meanings.
The old man's expression changed, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
"Aren't you the one who knows best whether I'm talking nonsense or not?" Ran Ran said calmly, "I really discuss this with you out of respect."
"To be honest, my ancestors were doctors. When my grandfather was alive, he was obsessed with this ghost needle but couldn't get it. After my grandfather passed away, this became a big knot in my father's heart."
Ran Ran was talking nonsense, "If the old gentleman can tell me in detail about this ghost needle today, even if I really become a ghost at the gate of hell, it would not be worth it."
“This has been the wish of three generations of my family.”
After listening to Ranran's nonsense, the old man remained silent for a long time.
Ranran saw his shadow twirling his beard again and knew that the old man was wavering again.
Time and again, driven by fear of the unknown and rational interests, the old man could no longer stick to his original idea.
Ranran revealed a barely perceptible smile and waited quietly for the fish to bite the hook.
As expected, the old man didn't let Ran Ran wait too long. He snorted coldly, "Since this is your suggestion, little kid, you should say it first to show your sincerity!"
Ran Ran also laughed, "Old sir, you are much older than me. I am really afraid of an old man like you. So, let's divide what we are going to say into two parts. After I say half of it, it's your turn."
"This is both reasonable and can put your mind at ease." "You are so young, but you have so many thoughts!" The old man pondered for a while, "Let's do this!"
Ran Ran was about to speak, but the old man stopped her, "Wait a minute! I can't just let you go like this! What if you lie to me?"
Ran Ran sneered impatiently in his heart, "I can guarantee that what I said is absolutely true. I can even swear to heaven. Can you rest assured, old man?"
"Even alien objects like the Terror Cave exist. I don't believe in any gods now!" the old man said coldly.
"If there really is a god above us, then none of us would have gone through this!"
Ran Ran's voice was filled with helplessness, "Then what do you say, old man?"
"Don't worry, I, the old man, won't make things difficult for you, little kid."
The shadow of the old man projected on the ground moved, and from Ranran's perspective, it seemed that he was holding something in his arms.
"I have my own way of judging whether your words are true or false. I advise you not to take chances, otherwise... humph!"
Ran Ran's heart sank, not because she was uneasy about the old man's testing method, but...
From the [Devil's Whisper] at the beginning to the lie detection now, the old man has demonstrated two additional methods in addition to his own ghost needle method.
Ran Ran really didn't know what other tricks the old man had hidden...
She felt annoyed. The opponent in the non-adjustment bureau... turned out to be such a difficult existence. Not only did they have many capable people, but they were also highly organized and disciplined.
This can be concluded by just looking at the relationship between the old man and the owner of [Devil's Whisper].
The old man despised and even envied the owner of [Devil's Whisper], but he still obeyed the arrangements from above and used this ability to deal with Ranran.
This is most likely an organization that follows orders unconditionally...
This is a terrible thing...
Ran Ran calmed himself and said loudly, "Are you ready, old man? I'm going to start talking."
The old man straightened his hunched back a little, and there was a hint of satisfaction in his voice, "Go ahead!"
"My ability is to improve various functions of my body in a short period of time." Ran Ran said irrelevant words, but his face remained calm and his heart did not beat.
Because she wasn't lying.
This is the effect of one of her abilities, [Rage], and she is telling the truth.
The old man waited for a few seconds before speaking with satisfaction: "Very good, you are an honest child. Improving your physical fitness... means that your speed can also be improved."
"Before I came in, did you use this ability to avoid my silver needles?"
Ran Ran chuckled, "This is about another part of my ability. I'm sorry I can't answer you, old man."
The old man said, "Improving physical fitness is not the only thing that can be achieved. Is there any other secret?"
Ran Ran didn't say anything, just said: "It's your turn, old man."
The old man snorted in dissatisfaction, "I am not the kind of person who refuses to pay my debts. Little kid, you have no means of verification, but you can rest assured."
"I will only tell the truth."
"My ghost gate needles... are indeed divided into two types." (End of this chapter)
