Chapter 867 

James was pumped up about solving the mystery of the painting. 

He opened the box while he sat on his wheelchair and gingerly lifted out the ancient scroll. As he unfurled the scroll, he could see carvings of human figures on it. 

The human figures had many different forms and sizes. Some were standing while others were crouching. 

Each of them was marked with a white dot and a red line. 

James knew that the white dots represented the location of the acupoints, while the red lines represented the meridians. 

 

This was a meridian acupoint diagram.
