Chapter 1696 Worried and Calm

Soon, Xu Chongzhi's effective stitches were counted.

In one minute, he got 172 effective needles.

The number will be announced to the audience by the host after the judges from both sides decide.

As soon as the numbers were announced, there was thunderous applause.

The Korean side and the Huaxia side chose the same scene for the live broadcast, that is, half of the picture is a specific expression on Xu Chongzhi's face, and half of the picture is a close-up of the acupoints on the bronze acupuncture figure.

Through the big screen, the audience can see that the bronze figure is covered with many small red dots.

First of all, the needle Xu Chongzhi chose was stained with red nano-ink, so on the acupuncture points where he applied the needle, what remained were small red dots. Densely packed, almost covering the whole body of the bronze figure.

The bronze acupuncture figure is about 1.60 meters tall, and it is a giant among the array of cultural relics. When making acupuncture bronze figurines, they are actually made according to the proportions of normal people. In this way, the positions of the acupoints are clearly marked, which is more convenient for several judges.

An old man like Xu Chongzhi actually got 172 effective needles in just one minute, that is, about three needles per second. This speed is too amazing. Not only the Koreans were shocked, but even many members of the Chinese delegation had to admire it. Whether it's He Yan, Wang Xuyun, Cheng Bushi or Dong Qichang, they all feel inferior.

If they were to face the familiar acupuncture model, blind needle, the accuracy rate could only guarantee about 70% at most, and the speed of 130 needles per minute is already very remarkable.

Xu Chongzhi's abnormal one hundred and seventy-two needles shocked their hearts and made them feel pressured.

The original relaxed feeling was gone in an instant.

They were worried about Luo Ziling, and felt that it was almost impossible for Luo Ziling to surpass Xu Chongzhi in speed and accuracy.

Xu Zhiyuan, who was watching at the scene, was also very excited about his grandfather's outstanding performance.

He knew that although his grandfather had been practicing acupuncture with the Bronze Acupuncture Figure, the speed of blind needle recognition was usually only about 150 needles, never more than 160 needles, and today he performed exceptionally well.

It seems that people's potential is infinite, and the potential that bursts out at extraordinary moments is also amazing.

He felt that there was no suspense about Grandpa winning today.

No matter how powerful Luo Ziling's acupuncture is, he is definitely not as good as his grandfather Xu Chongzhi in terms of the combination of accuracy and speed in acupoint recognition. Although the victory is a bit unarmed, as long as you win, everything doesn't matter.

Xu Zhiyuan felt a little invincible, mainly because the acupuncture bronze figurine had been placed with them all the time. Grandpa was very familiar with the structure of the bronze figurine, so he could accurately find the acupuncture points without looking. There is not much difference in speed and accuracy between blind stitching and visual stitching.

And Luo Ziling was not familiar with the bronze acupuncture figure, so he would definitely suffer from blind acupuncture, so he felt a little embarrassed.

When the two sides formulated the rules of the game, Xu Zhiyuan felt that Luo Ziling would definitely not agree to this obviously disadvantageous rule, but he never thought that Luo Ziling would agree. Of course, it is no longer necessary or important to say this now.

The important thing is that they won this game that touched the nerves of hundreds of millions of viewers in several East Asian countries.

What Xu Zhiyuan didn't expect was that Luo Ziling also had a bronze figure, and in the previous competition, he defeated the owner of the bronze figure, Gu Jian'an, once in a similar way. After getting the bronze figure, Luo Ziling also spent a lot of time studying and practicing many times.

Moreover, when Luo Ziling practiced acupuncture techniques with his grandfather Luo Linsheng in a small mountain village in the northwest, he also had a similar model.

If acupuncture and moxibustion techniques are to be mastered, there must be a practice model, otherwise no matter how good the talent is, it is impossible to achieve results.

Xu Zhiyuan didn't know that Luo Ziling's familiarity with the bronze man was not much worse than Xu Chongzhi's.

Gu Jian'an and Xu Zhiyuan had different ideas about the other person who lost the bronze acupuncture figure to Luo Ziling, but he also felt that today Luo Ziling was more of a bad luck than a blessing. Because the last time Luo Ziling competed with him, the needle technique was only at this speed. At that time, no one interfered, and Luo Ziling's speed could be used.

But today, facing tens of thousands of viewers and the live broadcast of the TV station, no matter how good Luo Ziling's mood is, it will inevitably be affected.

In one minute, a little impact is enough to slow down many speeds.

As long as there is a delay of a second or two, the game is definitely lost.

The speed of needle movement is not unlimited and can be increased. Even if it is not a blind needle, it is already the ultimate to reach 180 effective needles per minute.

Therefore, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, thinking that Luo Ziling must have lost this match that was completely unsuitable for the right time, place, and people.

Other people, including officials and members of the delegation, as well as Ling Ruonan, Yang Qingyin, Luo Yuqing and others had similar thoughts, and they were all worried about Luo Ziling. Especially Hu Wenjun, Wang Rongshan and other officials, as well as Ling Ruonan, Yang Qingyin, and Luo Yuqing, three women who were closely related to Luo Ziling, their hearts were even more out of their throats. Xu Chongzhi played so well that they lost all confidence.

The same is true for the Huaxia audience watching the live broadcast, they are all worried about Luo Ziling.

This South Korean old man performed so well that they had to admire him.

Many people were praying secretly, asking Luo Ziling to work hard and win.

The same is true for the contents of the comments and posts on the Internet, all of which are cheering for Luo Ziling.

Luo Ziling was the one with the most stable mood on the scene. His expression didn't change at all, and he still looked calm and relaxed.

After announcing Xu Chongzhi's number of needles, the staff was busy refilling the mercury and sealing wax on the acupoints.

These tasks were completed under the guidance of the Xu family.

The whole process is actually not complicated, and it doesn't take a lot of time. It can be completed in less than twenty minutes.

After checking the condition of the acupuncture bronze figure, several judges nodded to express their approval of the condition of the bronze figure, and the competition can continue.

Luo Ziling's eyes were covered, and a long silver needle was handed over to him.

The scene fell silent again, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Luo Ziling.

As the host announced the competition, Luo Ziling stepped forward. Like Xu Chongzhi, he rubbed the bronze figure with his left hand to recognize the acupoints and inserted the needle with his right.

But his acupuncture technique is different from Xu Chongzhi's. He only uses his thumb and index finger to pick up the needle, and he doesn't use his index finger.

In this case, the firmness of the needle is a little worse than that of the three fingers, but the flexibility is improved a bit.

Everyone's eyes followed his technique, and saw that his needle-twisting fingers were constantly dancing, and his movements were very gentle, which can be described as smooth and smooth. Compared with Xu Chongzhi's technique just now, it was lighter and more calm.

Many people who are proficient in acupuncture were immediately stunned.
