Volume 1: A Young Man Comes from the Mountains Chapter 13 Knowing the Eight Veins and the Twelve Sutras

Stand with your fists closed, look to the east, take a deep breath and exhale softly.

Early in the morning, after the morning breeze finished practicing, he stood quietly in place, watching the red east gradually dyed by the morning sun silent.

"One step closer to the goal, today is another new beginning, come on!" When the morning sun rose into the sky, the morning breeze stopped and muttered to himself, before walking towards the room and starting to prepare today's breakfast.

"The five internal organs, eight veins and twelve meridians are the most basic and important components of the bodies of all human beings and beasts, and they are also the main places for the storage and operation of various energies, and their role in human beings is self-evident. ”

After breakfast, Lian Chengyu sat down at the stone table and began the second stage of alchemist teaching without warning.

Chenfeng stared at Lian Chengyu with a pair of big eyes, and seemed to be a little uncomfortable with Lian Chengyu, who was so serious, shouldn't he play tricks first?

Lian Chengyu had already had a draft, and continued unhurriedly: "The five organs are the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, and the six organs refer to the stomach, large intestine, small intestine, three cokes, bladder, and gall bladder. The organs of the five internal organs and the six organs are also mutually reinforcing and complementary, which has many similarities with many places in heaven and earth. ”

"Actually, the body, isn't it a closed world?"

Lian Chengyu hesitated a little, and then added, as for whether Chenfeng can understand it, that's another matter, it's just a matter of rushing to talk here.

Chenfeng nodded seriously, thoughtfully, and silently remembered what Lian Chengyu said before muttering and repeating, "The body is also a closed little world?"

Lian Chengyu ignored whether Chenfeng understood the sentence he had feelings, and continued to speak: "The five internal organs are mutually reinforcing each other, and mutual birth refers to the liver and heart, that is, the liver hides blood to help the heart; The spleen gives birth to the lungs, such as the spleen transports the essence of the water valley to benefit the lungs; The lungs give birth to the kidneys, and if the lung qi is cleared, the jin qi will go down to nourish the kidneys; The kidneys give birth to the liver, like the kidneys store essence to nourish the yin blood of the liver. On the contrary, it is mutual restraint. ”

Chenfeng nodded ignorantly, calm on the surface, but shocked inside. Everything in the world is really mysterious, it seems that life in the world, there are really a lot of things to learn, and the secrets and mysteries hidden in the human body are no less than a thousand strange herbs.

"The 12 meridians are the heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney meridians in the five internal organs, and the stomach, large intestine, small intestine, three focal meridians, bladder meridians, gallbladder meridians, and one central meridian in the six internal organs. The so-called eight veins refer to the yang vein, the yin vein, the yang stilt vein, the yin stilt vein, the chong pulse, the Du pulse, the Ren pulse, and the belt pulse. Lian Chengyu said as he took out a yellowed book from his arms and handed it to Morrowind.

Morrowind took the book in Lian Chengyu's hand, thin, only about a dozen pages, the cover was slightly wrinkled, touch it with your hand, Morrowind judged that it should be made of animal skin, not ordinary paper.

Seeing that Lian Chengyu suddenly disappeared, Chenfeng turned the page of the book, only to see a frontal portrait of a naked human being painted on the title page, and all the five internal organs, eight veins and twelve meridians of the wonders mentioned by Lian Chengyu were marked.

When I first saw this image, Chenfeng felt a little awkward, although he was used to dissecting and concocting all kinds of demon beasts, but he still felt a little uncomfortable with subdividing the human body like this.

Probably glanced at it, the morning breeze turned to the second page, the dense text arrangement, the text is large and small, in the middle is the twelve meridians of three big characters, the rest of the specific five internal organs, twelve meridians, eight veins and other words are arranged in a circle around the "twelve meridians" three characters, the outermost is such as the heavenly stem, the earth branch, the child, Yin, Chen, Wu, Shen and other rare words that the morning wind does not understand.

Chenfeng is like reading a book from the sky, although it seems to be the text on it, but the meaning of the meaning is really unknown, so he can't help but look up at Lian Chengyu and look down at the book, as if he wants to confirm whether Lian Chengyu is playing tricks on himself.

Lian Chengyu smiled angrily, and slowly walked to Chenfeng, wanting to taunt a few words, but when the words came to his mouth, he saw that Chenfeng was obviously a little afraid of difficult thoughts, so he pointed to the picture on the second page, changed back to an amiable appearance and tone, and said with a smile: "This is a complex science, which contains the mysteries of time, place, time, space, etc., and many fortune-telling questions and formations in the rivers and lakes have evolved from this." ”

"As an alchemist, you only need to know the structure of the human body and the trajectory of energy circulation in the body, just look at the rest, not to mention the Jianghu technique, even if it is a formation, it is also a small Dao'er. Lian Chengyu added.

"Hmm. Chenfeng nodded, feeling that Lian Chengyu had opened the entrance to a new world for himself, and he was a little excited in his heart, but Lian Chengyu didn't know it.

"What you have to do now is to memorize the position of the five internal organs, the six internal organs and meridians and the energy circulation path in front of the first picture, and after you have memorized it, we will really start the second stage of learning. ”

Lian Chengyu followed the temptation, but still mistakenly thought that the morning breeze was cowardly before fighting.

"Isn't it really the beginning now?" Chenfeng sneered, but he didn't bother to pay attention to what medicine was sold in the old man's gourd, and he was alone with a thin book, ready to go out for a walk with the little black dog.

"I'm going to take a bath, Uncle Lian!" before going out, he shouted without looking back.

Lian Chengyu smiled meaningfully and did not stop it.

Chenfeng himself doesn't know why, every time he takes a bath by the lake, he always feels refreshed and calm, so he always likes to go there to sit when he has nothing to do.

"Five internal organs, six internal organs, eight veins and twelve meridians. ”

The morning breeze by the lake, sitting on the ground, staring at the book in his hand and talking to himself. The little black dog took advantage of the noon sun to float on the lake like a dead dog.

"The scripture, the path, the meaning of the path. The pulse is also the meaning of the network. The meridians run up and down, communicating inside and outside. The meridians crisscross and spread all over the body. The meridians are longitudinal trunks, and the meridians are meridian branches. The meridians belong to the internal organs, enter the meridians and limbs, communicate between the internal organs and the body surface, and use them to communicate the channels of the five internal organs, six internal organs, limbs, hundreds of bones, nine orifices, fur and muscles. ”

Morrowind flipped through the text on the third page of the book, and it was still obscure, like a book from heaven.

"This is the heart, this is the lungs..."

Since he couldn't read any page, Morrowind had to honestly look at the beginning, point at himself against the first picture, and forget the passage of time.

For three days in a row, Chenfeng would come to the lake every day to read a book, and slowly comprehend the knowledge about the eight veins and twelve meridians mentioned in the book. When he was hungry, he ate a few bites of dried meat brought from the thatched hut, when he was thirsty, he went to the forest to pick some wild fruits, and when he was tired, he soaked in the lake with the little black dog.

------

"Uncle Lian, I remember it all. ”

On the afternoon of the fourth day, when the morning breeze returned from the lake, he said to Lian Chengyu in the courtyard.

Lian Chengyu was a little surprised, sat up and asked, "Oh, so fast, then tell me what are the eight veins and twelve meridians according to your own understanding?"

Chenfeng groaned slightly, and said slowly, "The twelve meridians are the bridge for the blood and energy in the body to flow through, and the eight veins are actually important nodes at the intersection of the twelve meridians or at the junction with the organs. It's like a sheep's intestine trail that converges on a main traffic road and then diverts it somewhere. ”

Lian Chengyu didn't speak for a long time, just looked at the morning breeze in a daze. Morrowind hurriedly touched his face, worried if he had accidentally got something on his face.

"Woo woo..." the little black dog snorted anxiously, as if he was hungry and urging Chenfeng to cook, and seemed to be urging Lian Chengyu to confirm whether what Chenfeng said was right.

"Haha, a good bridge, a small road, a good node, a main road. Lian Chengyu came back to his senses and didn't say right or wrong, but the words and the expression on his face said it all.

Morrowind also smiled relaxedly, it seemed that his understanding was correct.

"Not only the 12 meridians, but all the meridians in the body have the greatest function of circulating energy for the large and small organs in the body to ensure the operation of each organ. The eight meridians of the Qi Meridian, like the other 100 acupuncture points in the body, are the nodes and switches of all the meridians in the body. Lian Chengyu looked at the morning breeze and said seriously.

"I understand" Chenfeng nodded, and said excitedly: "What the book says about breaking through the meridians, opening up the second meridian of Rendu, etc., only increases the flow channels of energy in the body, which naturally helps the improvement of the exercises, while the acupoints are just the opposite, which temporarily blocks the flow of the corresponding meridians and restricts certain functions of the body. ”

Lian Chengyu nodded, smiled, and smiled happily.
