The specific reference is a story popularized in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, known as scraping the bone to treat an arrow wound (刮骨疗毒).
In the story, Guan Yu remains unfazed as the legendary doctor Hua Tuo operates on his arm to treat an infected arrow wound, even playing a game of weiqi.

Guan Yu was a Chinese general from the Three Kingdoms period (200AD) who was and is worshipped as a deity in China for his loyalty, righteousness and martial prowess.
