Chapter Twenty-Six: Between Fiction and Reality, I Finally Won the Father's Faith
In the magazine "Qigong", there is an article that discusses the point of view, saying that the dantian, acupuncture points, meridians, etc., are all between the virtual and the real. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info is somewhere between being and not being.
This may seem like a contradiction, but it is not. If a person is dissected after death, then there are indeed no meridians, acupuncture points, and other things in the body. Because these are not real human organs, this is also the root of the theory that modern Western medicine does not recognize the meridians and acupuncture points of traditional Chinese medicine.
But if they don't exist, these things do play a role in the human body, and they are not negligible. Traditional Chinese medicine has a history of thousands of years, and pulse diagnosis, acupuncture, etc. are all rooted in this set of theories, and these medical techniques have also been proven to be effective. So, from the side, these things do exist.
It's just that the meridians and acupuncture points are not specific physical objects, so they are between the virtual and the real. The form in which these things exist resembles the human soul. When a person dies, the soul naturally does not exist in the body. In the same way, once a person dies, the meridians, acupuncture points, etc. will also disappear and do not exist. Pointing at the acupuncture points on the dead is also completely ineffective. So if you dissect it, you can't find it.
These controversies can also be boiled down to a big question in modern science: do people have souls?
Although rigorous science cannot prove the existence of the human soul, people believe in the existence of a soul in the body, both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign. And some modern scientific research has also proved from the side that people do have souls.
It's like a scientific experiment that proves that after death, people suddenly lose 21 grams. These 21 grams are considered to be the soul that disappears from the body, and it is also the weight of the soul.
As a teenager who has been deeply influenced by martial arts culture and has now stepped into the path of cultivation, Lin Xu certainly believes in the existence of meridians and acupuncture points, as well as the correctness of this set of theories. And the soul, he is also very much convinced of existence.
The human body has the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit, and the Taoist cultivation system also has three stages, which are refining and refining qi, refining qi and transforming gods, and refining gods to return to emptiness. The god in it is the soul. The intention in cultivation is to transform fire with deity, which can also be said to be the power of the soul.
Therefore, the soul and the meridians, acupuncture points, etc., are all the same system, the same form of existence. These three stages of the Taoist cultivation system, in layman's terms, are the first refinement of the body into qi, and then the final refinement of the true qi into the soul. At this time, one's soul will be more powerful and magnified, and he can become a god. In this period of cultivation, there will be a yin god and a yang god. Yang Shen is also the Yuan Shen, and through cultivation, the ultimate pursuit is immortality.
Some schools of Taoism believe that if one's body cannot be immortal and cannot be sanctified in the flesh, then one can also eventually cultivate the Yuan Shen, make the Yuan Shen immortal, and directly exist as a soul energy body. The so-called gods, spirits and gods are indistinguishable, in the stage of refining qi and transforming gods, if you can cultivate the yin god, you can have all kinds of magical powers, mortals regard it, it is no different from the gods.
The final refining of the gods is to go further. The previous cultivation is to gain a longer life, and this step is to protect the long-term life that has already been obtained. Time can wipe everything out, nothing can last forever, only nothingness. In the end, the destruction will turn into nothingness, but if you have already refined the gods and returned to the void, and can turn into nothingness, then how can you still be destroyed? Therefore, if you practice this step, you will truly be immortal, and you will not be destroyed after thousands of catastrophes.
Lin Xu's current cultivation, of course, can't hope for such a long time, and he can't completely confirm whether there are really immortals in this world. It's just that these Taoist cultivation theories, he learned from some Taoist classics and articles quoted in the "Qigong" magazine.
Going back to the original topic, the meridians, acupuncture points, dantians, etc. are between the virtual and the real, and they do not belong to the human organs that really exist concretely, so they cannot be judged by their specific size. This size is more of a subjective feeling. Moreover, Taoists also have a view of small and large, such as "the sun and the moon in the pot" and "every inch of the world". Buddhism also has similar sayings, such as "mustard seed can be Na Sumeru", "one flower is one world, one leaf is the same" and so on. Therefore, although the parts of the dantian are small, they can accommodate a very large amount of internal energy. The name of "sea of air" is not a lie.
It's just this sea of qi, and only by cultivating internal qi can it be called a sea of qi, and it is where the internal qi is stored. Huang Rong now felt that her dantian was like a sea, could it be that she already had the existence of internal qi in her dantian?
Lin Xu took Huang Rong all the way to the dormitory, but he couldn't help but ponder this question in his heart. At this time, he could confirm that Huang Zongwen must have arranged some means in Huang Rong's dantian, but he couldn't be sure what kind of means they were.
"If Huang Rong Dantian really already has internal qi, then it will be amazing, it means that as soon as Huang Zongwen is unsealed, Huang Rong will immediately become a master with internal qi!"
With such a secret guess in his heart, Lin Xu couldn't help but want to pull Huang Rong over, reach out to her dantian, and carefully investigate. Huang Rong had never practiced internal strength before, and Huang Zongwen's methods were tantamount to creating a master of internal strength out of thin air, which really made him have to be surprised.
Of course, this is still just his guess. Moreover, the location of the dantian is already close to the private parts of the lower body, and it is really not allowed for outsiders to casually touch and do what to test.
So after thinking about it for a while, Lin Xu temporarily suppressed the curiosity in his heart. The secret of Huang Rong's dantian can only wait for his father Huang Zongwen to solve it.
After walking to the door of the dormitory, Lin Xu was about to take out the key to open the door, but suddenly remembered something. The sword that Huang Zongwen handed him for temporary keeping, after he finished practicing with this sword in the morning, he put it on the table next to the door without doing anything to hide it. If Huang Rong opened the door and entered, he would inevitably see it. Of course, she is very familiar with her own things, and she is afraid that she can recognize them at a glance. After recognizing it, it is inevitable to ask how this sword is with him.
He couldn't tell the truth, so he needed to make up a reason. It's just that I forgot about this stubble before, and I suddenly needed to make it up when it came to the end, and it was difficult to think of a good reason for it in a moment's urgency.
"Beep beep ......"
Just as Lin Xu was feeling the key in his pocket in slow motion, and at the same time his mind was rapidly spinning to think of a reasonable reason, suddenly the pager on Huang Rong's body rang.
The pager suddenly rang, and the two of them were startled. Huang Rong thought that it might be his father's information, and immediately quickly pulled out the pager.
As soon as he pressed the button, Huang Rong couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "yes, this time it's really my dad, I finally got in touch, great!"
When Lin Xu heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was still worried about coming up with a reasonable reason to explain why Huang Zongwen's sword was in his dormitory, but now he didn't use it. Immediately smiled and said: "Look, I said that I guarantee to be able to contact today, you can quickly go and call back Mr. Huang!"
With a "pop", Huang Rong suddenly leaned over and kissed him on the face, then turned around and quickly ran away and smiled happily: "That's really borrowing your auspicious words, thank you, see you later!"
