Chapter 147: Xiao Jingjing
"Wasn't the yin and yang worship first proposed by Zou Yan, and what does it have to do with God's navel?" Yun Kang didn't know much about these folk cultures, so he couldn't help but ask.
Qi Zhongyu narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Yin and Yang worship has been popular among the ancient Qi people for thousands of years, Zou Yan is a native of the Qi country, and it has become his own theory to sort out the folk totem worship and put it forward." In fact, there are many powerful figures in Qi learning in history, Xu Fu, who went to Penglai to seek pills during the Qin Shi Huang period, and Shaoweng and Luan Da, who studied immortal cultivation during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, are all from the ancient Qi country. and Pu Songling in the early Qing Dynasty, who can also be regarded as a descendant of Qi Xue, but the stories of fairies and ghosts he wrote have more fictional elements. â
Since he was a child, he has heard about the ancient Qi country from his ancestors, including myths and stories, as well as anecdotes passed down from family to family, so he knows a little about the immortal cultivation culture of the ancient Qi country.
Hearing this, Yun Kang froze for a moment, how could he almost forget it, the Fang Shi of the Ancient Qi Kingdom was the best at alchemy and cultivating immortals.
After nearly a thousand years of exploration, after the Tang Dynasty, ordinary alchemists from Qi school inheritance can also refine high-grade elixirs.
It's just that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty admired Buddhism, and later Xuanzang went to Tianzhu to learn scriptures, and there were powerful figures like the six ancestors Huineng, but it was the Taoist cultivation of immortals who withered, and the refining of pills soon declined.
However, the alchemy of the ancient Qi country has flourished after all, and the number of people who cultivate immortals has decreased since the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the alchemists have left a large number of pills that no one uses, and they are all preserved in wax sealed jade bottles, which are not rotten or bad for thousands of years.
Thinking of this, Yun Kang's heart felt even more itchy, he was currently cultivating to the third level of qi refining, although there were a lot of spirit crystals and vitality stones in the dragon swallowing ring, but because of the lack of elixir, his cultivation had been stagnant, making him anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
At this time, listening to Qi Zhonglu's explanation, he suddenly had a new idea in his mind.
At that time, Qin Shi Huang asked for an elixir in Penglai in the East China Sea. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked the Queen Mother of Kunlun Shanxi for the elixir, and the monks sent out were all from the ancient Qi country. Legend has it that they have been to many places where immortal cultivators gather, and they have also asked for many pills, but they are unwilling to offer them to the Tyrant Emperor. So hide the elixir all the way.
Someone in history drew the "Atlas of the Classic of Mountains and Seas", which is said to have recorded the location of the hidden elixir of Yanqi Fangshi, but the times are far apart, and the place name has changed now, so it is impossible to explore the traces of ancient times.
But Yunkang thinks. As long as the earth is still there, it is not difficult to find clues, after all, the location is fixed, and no matter how far away the age is, it will not run away.
History records the deeds of Qi Fangshi to retrieve the pill, someone once offered the pill to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but was secretly eaten by Dongfang Shuo, and finally Dongfang Shuo's corpse was dissolved and ascended, he was also one of the famous immortal cultivators in the Han Dynasty.
Dongfang Shuo only took one pill, and he was able to cultivate to the flying elevation level, Yun Kang was secretly speechless. It can be seen that the elixir of the Qi State Fangshi is a veritable elixir.
There are many grades of elixir, which are generally divided into earth pills, elixirs and elixirs.
Tudan is not refined by spiritual fire and Danding, but the prescription is precious, taking it is beneficial to the body, and can even cure all kinds of diseases.
The elixir is exclusive to cultivators, it can increase the strength and level of true qi, and prolong life, the Pei Yuan Dan that Yun Kang snatched in the underground cave of Wufeng Mountain. It's a kind of elixir.
There is also an even more powerful elixir, eat one with a little cultivation, and you can dissect and soar and break through the boundary. The ancients called the ascension to the immortal realm. It means that the immortal cultivator leaves the interface of the four-dimensional space on the earth's surface and goes to a higher level of space.
Most of the pills Yunkang used before sealing were Tudan and Lingdan, and he had never encountered an elixir. At this time, when I thought of the Han Dynasty, Dongfang Shuo soared, and I couldn't help but be fascinated.
All immortal cultivators want to break through and soar to a higher interface, and life is the never-ending pursuit of a higher realm. It makes sense to live in this way.
Otherwise, it is really boring for a person to live in the world for thousands of years or tens of thousands of years, without relatives and friends, and never be able to jump out of this circle.
Yunkang's thinking became active, and he soon thought of another person, Liu An, who was also the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and was titled the King of Huainan, who summoned immortal cultivators all year round, and there were thousands of monks under his door, all of whom were masters of cultivating immortal methods.
Liu An studied immortal refining spells with these immortal cultivators, often retreated to cultivate immortals and practiced the Tao, and wrote "The Secretary of Hongbaoyuan in the Pillow", which recorded the use of immortal magic to drive ghosts, and even call for wind and rain, turning stones into gold.
In the end, Liu An became an immortal, and the corpse was ascensed, and it was recorded in history that "one person attained the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascended to heaven", saying that his whole family had successfully cultivated immortals, and even chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, and livestock all followed together to become immortals and soar.
The ascension of the whole family of King Huainan to immortals once caused a vigorous stir during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and many historical books have recorded this anecdote.
Yun Kang secretly pondered that if the whole family even soared livestock, the only possibility was that Liu An had a large number of spirit stones and pills in his hands. They don't have to worry about absorbing spiritual energy when cultivating, and taking pills is as easy as eating jelly beans, as long as the spiritual root is not deficient in the heavens and the earth, they can cultivate immortals and soar successfully. Even if an ordinary pig eats pills every day, it can be refined into a demon beast.
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he wanted to find the elixir, and the Fang Shi of the Gu Qi Kingdom had the best way. If you find the documents they left behind, you can find some places where the pills are hidden.
Yun Kang was a little excited, grabbed Qi Zhonglu's hand suddenly, and asked, "Do you know where the notes of the Qi people looking for the pill are back then, and the location and route of their search for the pill......
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard a stern voice shouting, "Yunkang, if you don't listen to the class carefully, what the hell are you doing down there?"
Guo Jingshen frowned, and there was a resentment in her eyes. She had just finished writing the words on the blackboard, and was just about to give a lecture, when she saw Yun Kang and Qi Zhonglu meeting to look at the photos together, and then Yun Kang had an excited expression on his face and held Qi Zhonglu's hand tightly......
Guo Jing was annoyed for a while, Yunkang never listened carefully in class, first talked to Tang Li in the corridor for a while, and then muttered with Qi Zhongqi when he entered the classroom. I don't know what photos the two of them are looking at, so they have to lean close to their heads and hold hands.
"Take the things in your hand to the podium, don't listen to the lecture well, look at the photos below, I want to see how you pass the exam. Guo Jing said angrily.
She didn't know why, seeing Yunkang's inattentive appearance in class, she couldn't help but want to lose her temper, and she couldn't even look at Qi Zhongqi.
All the newcomers looked back at them and saw that the two were sitting very close, holding a bunch of photos and looking at them, and the movements of their hands were a little ambiguous. So they all squeezed their eyes and laughed, revealing a sudden expression, "Oh, I see." It's a good relationship. â
"Huh!" Yun Kang saw everyone's strange eyes, quickly let go of his hand, put the photo into a brown paper bag by the way, and smiled at Guo Jing: "Teacher Guo, we are studying the psychology you talked about. I didn't quite understand it, so I discussed it. â
He looked up at the dense words written on the blackboard, what memory structure, memory trace curve, memory brain imaging, he couldn't understand the meaning at all.
It is really more difficult for him to learn a psychology than to improve his cultivation to the next level.
Guo Jing glanced at him, and secretly resented in his heart, he was so annoying, he actually called Mr. Guo. They all call people old!
She is very eager to look forward to the day when Yunkang can call her Jing'er, and it is okay to call her Xiao Jingjing.
Guo Jing was secretly refreshed, and her heart blossomed, but the expression on her face remained unchanged, her eyes swept over everyone in the classroom, and she said slowly: "Let's think about the question just asked, what are the names of the four main brain tissues related to memory, and how to find traces of memory? Invite the students to open the book, and we will now talk about the cerebral cortex. Amygdala and hippocampal tissue ......"
As soon as Yun Kang heard that she was going to ask a question, he immediately began to get nervous, put aside the matter of Qi Xuexian Elixir that he was thinking about just now, and immediately used his divine sense to look through the book in the Dragon Swallowing Ring. "Four Brain Tissue Names, Looking for Memory Traces......"
The power of divine consciousness is hundreds of times faster than the speed of the eye, and the answer to the question is found in two seconds. If Guo Jing really asked him, just read it according to what was written in the book.
Yunkang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. I can't help but feel proud, it's cool to have a cheating artifact!
At this time, his consciousness suddenly moved, and swept to a passage in the book: "In the traces of human memory." Damage to the hippocampus in most cases impairs explicit memory but not implicit memory. â
Yun Kang's mind was clouded, and he suddenly thought of his amnesia, he remembered some things very clearly in his memory, such as cultivation exercises, alchemy, arrays, talisman refiners, and the skills he learned in the past, and he didn't even forget the slightest.
But he forgot some people and things, such as the Seven Great Chinese Clans, the Dragon Swallowing Ring, and some experiences related to people.
Yunkang has a lot of doubts about amnesia and has no free time to study, so when he saw the relevant content in the book, he immediately checked it carefully.
"What do you mean by explicit memory and implicit memory?" Yun Kang muttered in a low voice, found the concept in the book, and only after reading the answer did he understand that the memory with conscious participation was explicit, and the unconscious memory was implicit.
He thought about his symptoms, and it dawned on him about the amnesia. Therefore, things like cultivating talismans are knowledge that has been formed unconsciously for a long time, which is called implicit memory, and interaction with people is conscious participation, which is called explicit memory.
Yun Kang couldn't help frowning, it seems that many of the things he forgot were explicit memories, could it be because the hippocampus in his brain was damaged?
Seahorses, seahorses, what the hell is this?
"The hippocampus is mainly responsible for memory, and short-term memories in daily life are stored in the zĂ i hippocampus, and if a memory fragment is repeatedly mentioned, the hippocampus will transfer these memories to the cerebral cortex and become permanent memory. Guo Jing stood on the podium, pointing at the blackboard with a whip, patiently explaining the concept.
Her eyes turned to Yun Kang, and saw that he was actually listening carefully, and there was a look of thirst for knowledge on his face, which made her a little surprised, raised her hand and pointed forward, and said: "The question just now is, what are the names of the four main brain tissues related to memory, and how to find traces of memory? â
"I've asked Yunkang again, why does Mr. Guo ask him every class?"
"I don't like him, so I deliberately fix him. â
Guo Jing spread her long wavy hair over her shoulders and stared at Yun Kang with burning eyes, waiting for him to stand up and say the answer.
Every time she asked a question, Yunkang was silent, standing stunned and not speaking, sometimes he couldn't even figure out what the question was.
This made Guo Jing depressed for a while, Yun Kang came to her psychology class, but she didn't care at all, she always looked absent-minded, didn't she notice that she had been paying attention to him on the podium.
Guo Jing couldn't bear Yunkang's attitude towards Jiao'er Langdang, so she asked him questions in every class to make him stand up and lose a little face, and there was also a sense of revenge.
