Chapter 13 Refining and Refining Gas
(Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask members to click!, and ask for a few more tips, there are only two fans in the fan column, which is really not good-looking!)
What is the essence, what is the qi, what is the god?
According to Lin Xu's understanding, essence is the qi in the theory of the three qi of Puzi, which is the qi and essence of all things that the body needs from daily food, and the energy consumed to maintain the body's functions; qi can be said to be the qi of breathing, but in the Taoist theory of practice, this qi does not only refer to the qi of breathing, but also the internal force and true qi obtained through practice; and god is the spiritual consciousness of man, or intuitively, it can also be said to be the soul of man.

Refining and refining qi is to refine and turn the human body into qi. But how to do it, this requires corresponding cultivation exercises. Lin Xu's self-created and sorted out "The Secret of Holding Pu" is based on the theory of hugging Puzi's three qi as the central theory, and he has figured out the public qi and coarseness in it. Therefore, he has no shortage of cultivation methods in the early stage, and he also knows that it is necessary to refine and turn qi into qi.
However, before that, there is one more problem to be clarified. That is the essence in the human body, where it exists. Because this exercise method created and sorted out by himself is not a complete set, and there are specific and detailed cultivation steps, and he cannot directly practice it step by step. Therefore, he must not only know what it is, but also why it is. Only when he fully understands it can he be able to practice without hindrance.
If there was a complete and detailed set of exercises, he didn't need to be so troublesome, just follow the detailed cultivation steps directly. But the problem is, he didn't. Therefore, we must think clearly and understand all aspects.
It's like building a machine, as long as there are detailed operation processes and steps, and you learn these, then a person can basically be competent, and you don't need to know the principle of building such a machine. But now, Lin Xu has to figure out the principle, because he doesn't have a detailed production process in his hands. Moreover, he not only needs to fully understand the principle, but also formulate a set of plans and processes for building this machine according to the principles he has mastered.
Therefore, his current "The Secret of Holding Pu" is far from being completed, and some of the theories still need to be confirmed step by step by him through actual practice. If you are right, you should elaborate on this and formulate effective cultivation steps, and correct what is wrong.
Where does the essence exist in the body, he has naturally figured out this question now, otherwise he would not dare to say that he has figured out the qi of the people, and he will easily cultivate like this. Regarding this issue, he still figured it out based on the description of Zhongqi in "Hug Puzi".
Zhongqi is the essence of the human body, and Zhongqi is the qi of all things, which is the essence of grains, vegetables, meat and other essences in people's daily diet. "Whoever the lady exerts her strength, she uses all the qi, and the qi can only lift weights to reach the far luck body", judging from its description, this qi is a simple physical power, and this power is spread throughout the whole body. Therefore, the essence is also all over the body.
But if you want to refine and refine qi, you can't practice inch by inch from head to toe, I have never heard of this kind of refining method, and I have not seen such a description in the "Qigong" magazine. Therefore, Lin Xu thought again, it is true that the essence is all over the body, but there should always be a source. If you start directly at the source, you should be fine. The so-called refining of gas should also be the direct refining of its source.
After some meditation and reading a lot of related information, Lin Xu finally found the source of the essence, that is, the meridians that also spread throughout the entire body. Essence is present in the meridians, and then it is distributed throughout the body from the meridians that spread throughout the body.
Why do some martial arts novels write that the protagonist cultivates internal strength and increases cultivation, it is achieved by constantly opening up the meridians. He didn't understand it when he read it before, and it was also written in the novel that it was not clear, only saying that opening up the meridians could increase his strength, but he didn't explain the reason. I'm afraid the author also knows a little bit about it, but he doesn't know why. But now that Lin Xu figured out that the essence existed in the meridians, he immediately understood.
Opening up the meridians means constantly refining and refining the qi, refining the essence that was originally stored in the meridians into qi, and the power will naturally increase. Opening up all the meridians of the whole body is a great process of refining and refining qi.
As soon as he thought about this question, Lin Xu understood all the cultivation in the early stage, and there were no more difficulties. Now is the time to verify the correctness of his ideas and theories. The first place he chose to open up the refining was the dantian.
The dantian is a node on the meridians, and it is the Guan Yuan acupoint on the Ren vein. And this acupuncture point can also be said to be the largest acupuncture point in the meridians of the human body.
If the meridians are compared to rivers, then the acupuncture points on the meridians are lakes of different sizes where the rivers flow, and the dantian is the sea. Therefore, the alias of dantian is also called the sea of qi. This is not only the size of the river, but also the ultimate destination of all rivers. And all the meridians are also connected to the dantian.
The dantian is the largest, and the essence stored in it is also the largest. And the strength of the human body, if you want to exert the maximum strength of the pure body, you also need to rely on the waist strength. It can be seen that this part is the place where all the qi gathers.
How to refine and refine qi, Zhongyun in "Finger Xuan Formula" "In the past, I met the teacher and kissed the formula, as long as I concentrated my mind into the air pocket", the "air hole" here refers to the dantian qi sea. The god condensed is naturally the spiritual consciousness, and it is still the same one, which means to guard the dantian. However, if you want to refine and refine qi, you can't simply rely on "guarding".
is still the sentence in "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Deed", "Real people dive into the abyss, floating and abide by the rules". Imagine that the dantian is like an abyss, take the dantian as water, and imagine that you are floating on the water. And it means God, and in Taoist classics, God is often used as a metaphor for fire. This kind of cultivation method is to use fire into water.
Refining and refining gas, using the word "refining" next to the word "fire", rather than another "practice", naturally also refers to the need for fire in the process of refining and refining gas. But this fire does not refer to ordinary fire, but to deify fire.
After completely calming down, Lin Xu silently recited this mantra in the "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Deed" from the "Qigong" magazine, thinking that his dantian was a bottomless abyss, and his thoughts turned into flames and floated on the surface of the abyss.
As soon as the fire fell to the surface of the water, it immediately "snorted" and burned the surface of the water into gas. And when this wisp of white qi steamed up, Lin Xu finally felt the faint wisp of qi in his dantian, which was his first step of refining and refining qi.
Feeling that extremely faint sense of qi, although it was very weak, it also made Lin Xu extremely happy. Because he finally succeeded, not only did he successfully refine the first wisp of internal qi, but also verified that the exercise he created and sorted out was correct. His ideas and theories were correct, which gave him great confidence.
