"Wake up ......"

In a trance, Gu Chaoge seemed to hear someone calling his name in his ear.

"Gu Chaoge ......"

He was cold, and there was an infinite darkness in his consciousness.

The tingling sensation in his chest almost suffocated him, and when he opened his mouth, the pool water poured in, and he didn't even have the strength to struggle.

But suddenly, a point of light appeared in the gloomy darkness of his mind.

It was as if he had seen a figure, and his beautiful face was full of anxiety.

That face, he had spoken countless times, in his dreams.

Is that...... Begonias!

The corners of Gu Chaoge's mouth raised a smile, he thought that he would never see her again, and if he could see her before he died, God was really kind to him.

"Don't give up on ......"

A cold and nice female voice, anxious and with a hint of choking.

Gu Chaoge had a trace of desire to survive in his heart, struggling to go upstream, but his body seemed to be uncontrollable and heavy as a rock.

Such a ruthless woman, when kicking him off the cistern, deliberately restrained his body with a wisp of vitality, just like tying a boulder to his body, pressing him so that he couldn't move, and could only sink slowly.

"I ......" Gu Chaoge smiled bitterly in his heart, "It seems that he can't hold ......"

He was on the brink of death, sometimes awake, sometimes drowsy.

"You can't sleep ——!"

Zhu Haitang's voice sounded again, but Gu Chaoge was extremely tired, and his heavy eyelids couldn't be raised.

"I'm tired...... he muttered, "I really can't hold it anymore......"

"No, no matter how tired you are, you have to hold on!"

"You're going to ...... Follow the direction my voice points you! ”

Gu Chaoge heard her voice ringing in her ears, reading a passage that she didn't understand at all.

"Hold on to your heart and think from your heart."

"There is a light in the universe, dark and dark......"

"Get this Qi, swallow it in the body, and get up in the body with a breath ......"

The words seemed to be expounding some kind of theory, but he didn't know that Zhu Haitang was reading the prologue of "The Theory of Qi", which was also a theory that expounded the energy form of the entire universe.

And this one is regarded as the "breathing method".

"Gain Qi, lose Qi, there is a big harvest in gain and loss, and there is a way of derivation."

Then, Gu Chaoge heard the sound of Zhu Haitang's breathing, and even heard her heartbeat.

The breathing was soft, with some singular rhythm, accompanied by a heartbeat.

Breathing is the opposite of the heartbeat, and the breath stops at the moment the heart beats, and the heart just finishes beating when the heart breathes.

Then, the breath coincides with the heartbeat, exhaling and inhaling, which is exactly the frequency at which the heart is beating.

Later, she was not even controlling the rate and speed of her breathing, as if she was controlling the beating of her heart, and her heart was beating between breaths.

Gradually, Gu Chaoge seemed to be integrated into this rhythm, and the rhythm and frequency of his breathing were unconsciously following.

"One breath and one breath, there is a lot of attention between breaths."

He seemed to hear a sound in his body, his skeletal muscles were in harmony with his breathing patterns, his body became lighter, and the vitality wrapped around him gradually dissipated, and he swallowed it between unconscious breaths.

There was no oxygen in the reservoir, but he didn't feel any suffocation just by exhaling his vitality!

There is no plausible explanation for this in modern biology.

"When Humans No Longer Need Oxygen......"

"In other words, the only thing that any life form in the universe depends on for survival and is indispensable is never oxygen, but qi, that is, vitality."

"Qi is the foundation of life."

Zhu Haitang's voice was slowly telling, telling Gu Chaoge the whole breathing method of "Qi Theory".

But at this moment, Gu Chaoge had a painful look on his face.

In a distant place, Zhu Haitang's face changed, and the wisp of vitality that was entangled with Gu Chaoge was the vitality that had been spit out after all, and it no longer followed the small circulation of the "Primordial Qi" in the cosmic environment, and it was not enough to support the operation of the breathing method, and if it continued like this, Gu Chaoge would still drown in the reservoir.

She closed her eyes, her body fell into a deep sleep very quickly, and she looked at Gu Chaoge in her dream, anxious and weak.

The only thing that could save Gu Chaoge was the ice coffin fragments the size of a pill, but after Gu Chaoge fell into the reservoir, as the pool water poured into his mouth, the ice coffin fragments naturally couldn't hold it, and they had already blurted out and sank.

Gu Chaoge's face became more and more ugly, the suffocation reaction began to recover, and his body continued to fall.

Just when all the begonias couldn't help but feel hopeless, a miracle happened.

In a daze, Gu Chaoge seemed to feel that he had sunk to the bottom of the pool.

He muttered in his heart, what a deep cistern.

That's right, it's just a reservoir, but Gu Chaoge sank for a few minutes, which can already be described as bottomless.

It turned out that this was not a cistern at all, but only used to hide people's eyes.

In the eyes of Zhu Haitang, she saw countless dim points of light shining.

In Gu Chaoge's perception, in the deepest part of the bottom of this pool, an ice tablet nearly two meters high was sealed, which was as transparent as crystal, and the material was exactly the same as the crumbs of the ice coffin.

There, there is vitality!

A smile appeared on Zhu Haitang's cold face, she opened her eyes in an instant, and woke up from her deep sleep, she asked Gu Chaoge to dream of her again, follow her guidance, and start the breathing method again.

"These days, you and I can't dream of each other because I went to a very special place where everything can be isolated, and at the same time, I am tracking down something about the earth."

"I have a hypothesis that the Earth does not have no Vitality, in fact, the Earth still has an extremely thin Vitality, and the Vitality is actually locked up, isolated from the atmosphere in some way that you can't understand."

"This practice of isolating the vitality has lasted for at least tens of thousands of years, and it has been isolating the vitality step by step, until now, it almost does not exist."

"Such a practice will face a drastic shortening of human lifespan, a drastic atrophy of the brain domain, and an endless decline in physical fitness......

"Until there is no more Qi in the world, life loses its roots and becomes extinct."

At the same time, Zhu Haitang is telling about recent events, revealing a secret about the earth, and she is trying to track these down, and will continue to investigate.

When the breathing method was launched for the second time, even if he was not conscious, Gu Chaoge listened to the guidance of the voice in the dream, and quickly entered the state of the breathing method.

This comes from the memory of the subconscious, the memory of the way you breathe.

Zhu Haitang didn't expect that Gu Chaoge could enter this state so quickly, which showed that his body was already memorizing the new way of breathing.

Perhaps it is his current state of unconsciousness that has helped him, and it is the body's instinct to remember, rather than the rhythm and frequency of breathing that others "memorize" when they are awake.

To put it simply, it is body memory, similar to "who makes perfect", just like the oil seller in the fable, who can pour oil into the gourd from the round hole in the middle of the copper plate at a very long distance.

The ultimate goal of the breathing method is to reach the level of physical instinctive memory, and only in this way can we breathe in the vitality of the universe all the time.
