Chapter 11 Meta
Li Xiaokuan only felt that his eyes were dark, and he returned to the Qiandao River, and after waking up, he thought about it as if he was in a different world.
Just now, I seemed to have witnessed the birth of a heaven and earth from the perspective of a bystander, but now when I think about it, I can't remember the details, only a vague approximation.
And he noticed that a golden seed appeared in the depths of his mind, and that seed slowly melted in it, and finally disappeared.
Following this special feeling, Li Xiaokuan slowly closed his eyes.
Consciousness seemed to be trapped in a black hole of no boundaries, but it soon became clear.
Li Xiaokuan, no, it should be Li Xiaokuan's consciousness that opened his eyes, but the eyes of his body were still closed.
Li Xiaokuan glanced down at his hands and found that his whole body was now almost transparent, exuding a faint light.
It was all gray, except for a white ball of light that was circling around a golden ball of water.
The white ball of light spun happily and tirelessly, but the golden water ball was always quietly suspended in the void, as if it was not ready to take care of the ball of light at all.
Li Xiaokuan vaguely guessed that this should be the national fortune of the Qin State and the golden seed that melted before.
But where is this?
Li Xiaokuan's feeling now is very subtle, as if he is outside his body, but he can still control his body.
It feels completely different inside and out, but it doesn't conflict.
The white ball of light seemed to sense Li Xiaokuan, stopped spinning, and moved in Li Xiaokuan's direction.
But it didn't seem to dare to get too close for a while, just narrowing the distance with him little by little. But after a while, its patience seemed to run out, and it directly circled around Li Xiaokuan in joy.
Li Xiaokuan shook his head helplessly, controlled his consciousness to approach the golden water ball, and then reached out to touch it.
The moment his finger touched the ball of light, the ball exploded, and all the droplets flowed down his finger to his body until he emitted a golden light. At the same time, a golden light gate appeared in front of Li Xiaokuan's eyes, and a powerful suction force came out from the light gate, sucking Li Xiaokuan into it.
The strong light made him unable to open his eyes, and when the light dissipated, Li Xiaokuan came to a strange place again.
It's still nothing, but there's a lot more stuff and people in it.
The most conspicuous thing was a huge blackboard, under which was a lectern, behind which an old man in a robe and a pair of white-rimmed round-rimmed glasses sat facing Li Xiaokuan.
In addition to Li Xiaokuan, there were forty-eight people opposite him, all of whom were dressed differently, and even some of them looked very strange.
In front of each person was a wooden table with a small book on it.
Li Xiaokuan looked down, and sure enough, there was one in front of him, and the little book was exactly the same as the one that had dissipated in his hand before, except for a new one.
The whole book is made of paper, but the quality of the paper used to make the book does not seem to be very good, and the texture is a little rough. However, it is placed upright, and the yellowish cover has the word "Tongyuan" written in black ink.
"You may be seated. ”
The old man spoke slowly, not loud, but very majestic. Forty-nine people, including Li Xiaokuan, heard this, and all sat down obediently in their seats.
The old man glanced around, confirmed that everyone was seated, and nodded silently.
"Now start the lessons. ”
"First of all, let me introduce myself, I am your teacher for this class. ”
"Okay, let's start class. ”
Li Xiaokuan was a little confused, this is the end? What about the self-introduction? Who doesn't know that you are a teacher?
But when he looked around, there was not a single one who objected to the old man, not even one like him, but all of them sat upright and listened attentively.
Seeing this, Li Xiaokuan had no choice but to put away his thoughts and listen to what the old man taught.
"Tongyuan. ”
I saw that the old man opened his mouth lightly and spit out two words.
Li Xiaokuan waited for a long time, but he didn't see the old man speak again.
Li Xiaokuan looked around in amazement, only to see that all those people were buried in their heads, looking like they were trying their best to think.
What's going on? Who are these people?
Li Xiaokuan closed his mouth in shock, looking left and right, but the silence around him was terrifying.
It's like when he used to take exams on Earth, everyone was struggling to write, and only he didn't even know what to take.
Li Xiaokuan was bored alone, sitting in his seat in a daze. Looking at the books on the table, he wanted to look through them to see what was inside, but the books seemed to be welded together, and he couldn't open them even if he buttoned them like this, and he couldn't even move them off the table.
Is this just an ornament? Li Xiaokuan felt a little pain in his head.
At that moment, a man raised his hand.
The man sat in front of Li Xiaokuan's right, wearing a slightly thicker mink fur and two furry pointed ears on the top of his head.
After the old man paused, the man got up and began to talk to the old man.
It's just that for some reason, Li Xiaokuan couldn't hear the content of the conversation between the two.
After talking for a while, the old man nodded lightly and motioned for the man to sit down, and then Li Xiaokuan saw the small book in front of the man turn a page backwards.
Then the old man did not know what to say to the man, and the man returned to his previous way of bowing his head in contemplation.
Li Xiaokuan felt that he had caught something, but he was not sure yet.
This seems to be a question, and the fox ear should have thought of the answer to the question, and after answering correctly, he can turn to the following content. ”
"But I don't even know what his question is, how can I answer it?"
"No, he said the word 'Tongyuan', could it be that he was asking what these two words mean?"
While Li Xiaokuan was thinking, people kept raising their hands and entering the conversation.
Later, he was the only one left, and the small book in front of him was still unfolded.
"Oh, it doesn't matter. ”
Li Xiaokuan raised his hand, first raised it and then said, the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth.
The old man nodded.
Li Xiaokuan stood up, and heard the old man ask, "Tongyuan?"
Sure enough, Li Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and said the answer he had prepared.
"Tong is dredging, and Yuan is vitality. Tongyuan is to dredge the vitality. ”
As soon as Li Xiaokuan finished speaking, he found that the expressions of the people around him were wrong, and they all looked like they wanted to laugh but endured it.
What's wrong? Can they hear me?
Li Xiaokuan was a little puzzled, but the old man didn't say anything, just continued to ask.
"What is Vitality?"
Li Xiaokuan just wanted to say that Yuan Qi was a kind of energy, but the image of the golden giant holding out the chaos suddenly flashed in his mind. So I thought that the heavens and the earth were already a mess of chaos, but that vitality was chaos.
"Chaos?" Li Xiaokuan said tentatively.
"No, no, no. It's just that he himself quickly denied this answer, now that heaven and earth have been formed, there is no more chaos, if there is still vitality, then the vitality will no longer be chaos.
Then a picture of the formation of mountains, the flow of rivers, and the reproduction of living beings flashed in his mind, and a glimmer of inspiration flashed through him.
"Vitality is everything. ”
Li Xiaokuan blurted out.
All things are born from vitality, and their origin is vitality.
When Li Xiaokuan thought of this, he suddenly felt that his mouth suddenly opened.
"Then the previous pass is not just the meaning of dredging, but understanding!"
"What this old man said about Tongyuan turned out to be to let us think about what this 'yuan' is!"
I was still stupid to think about what those two words meant, no wonder they were laughing at me. ”
"Since we want to understand the Yuan Qi, then this book, this lesson, should be to teach us to cultivate the Yuan Qi!"
Thinking of this, Li Xiaokuan couldn't help but be a little excited, did he also embark on the road of cultivation?
The old man nodded when he heard this, and motioned for Li Xiaokuan to sit down.
Li Xiaokuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he noticed that many people looked at him in surprise after he said that answer, and then thoughtfully, but he didn't care.
He sat down slowly, looked down, and sure enough, his little book had also turned a page, the left page had the word "Tuna" written on it, and the right page had a picture of a small person sitting cross-legged.
At this time, the old man's voice came into his ears: "Observe the method of breathing, so as to know the changes of the meridians." Yuan is Yuan, Qi is Qi, Yuan Qi is Yuanqi. ”
Li Xiaokuan didn't look at the method of vomiting when he heard this, but just kept pondering the old man's last sentence.
"Yuan is Yuan, Qi is Qi, Yuan Qi is Yuanqi?"
"Isn't he telling me that these three are not the same thing?"
"Yuan ...... Yuan is Yuan, Yuan is the beginning, is the starting point, is the initial ......"
"Then Tongyuan is not only familiar with Yuanqi, or not yet proficient in Yuanqi!"
"Because this class has just begun, the first thing you should know is the beginning!"
"Know why you started, know what foundation you started on, know how you should start!"
Li Xiaokuan suddenly realized, it turned out that he didn't answer correctly just now, but the old man changed a question.
Thinking about it this way, in fact, it is not wrong that the vitality is chaos.
"Qi is energy, and Yuan Qi is the first energy, the most original energy!"
"Heaven and earth were born because of that chaos, so that chaos is the vitality! And all the things that are produced by it, after all, are still the vitality!"
"But although all things are born from the vitality, in the process of growth, it is inevitable that they will be contaminated with other qi, so all things cannot be counted as vitality, but all things start with vitality, and if the vitality disappears, then all things do not exist, so can vitality still be counted as all things?"
