203. Know your fate
The news of my mother's death came suddenly.
Even though I knew that day was coming, I still felt unexpected.
During the years I served as the keeper of the Tibetan room, I returned home several times to persuade my mother to go to Zhoudu with me, but my mother said that she had lived in Xiangyi for too long, and she was familiar with the people and was unwilling to move away.
The sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and time flies.
It's been 30 years in the blink of an eye.
Standing in front of my mother's grave, I suddenly remembered the Spirit King, who had been dead for many years.
The Spirit King has reigned for twenty-seven years, and he is barely a king, but I know far better than others that he is not for the country, but for my human race.
If the princes stand side by side today, how many of them are half-bloods? How many are purebloods?
But there are very few people in human power.
Over the years, I have not let go of my research on Qi, but in the end, I still found nothing.
Even without Kongqiu's involvement, I can't even confirm whether "Qi" exists.
I began to doubt myself, to doubt whether Qi existed.
Until the death of the Spirit King, I was unable to understand the essence of Qi, nor did I create a method that could make humans perceive and use Qi.
Twenty-seven years, until eternal sleep, the Spirit King did not see any hope of the rise of the human race.
I broke my covenant and failed to keep my promise to the king.
But I didn't give up, but regrouped and once again devoted myself to the study of "Qi".
I did live up to the king's instructions, but humanity cannot live under the bloodline all the time, it must be made for the human race to stand up, this is not only what I should do, I know very well that I am not that great.
This is what everyone in the world should do.
Whether pure-blooded or half-blooded, their strength is essentially derived from blood. From the Dragons.
The human race needs its own strength.
The discoverer of this power can be me or Kongqiu.
But it can't be any pure-blooded or even mixed-blood.
Now, after so many years, I have grown from a high-spirited teenager to a knowing year in Kongqiu's mouth, but there is still no progress in the study of "Qi".
At that time, I was already disheartened, and maybe I would not be able to explore the mystery for the rest of my life.
I looked at my mother's grave and was stunned, the scenery in front of me remained the same, but my consciousness seemed to transcend time and space and go to an unknown place.
It was like nothingness, but it was different from the nothingness I had ever seen.
It's more like an emptiness overflowing from the depths of the soul.
I soaked in that emptiness for a long time, and countless lights passed by me, and I even saw the Spirit King, my mother, Kong Qiu, and even myself in those lights.
Then, the flames converged overhead, forming a giant fireball.
It's like a big day.
There was a fatal allure and an inexplicable attraction on the huge fireball, and I wanted to stay away, but my body approached uncontrollably.
No, it's not the body that's close.
It's consciousness!
It dawned on me.
By this time, my hand had already touched the huge fireball.
There is no burning sensation, only a faint warmth.
The fire on the fireball began to extinguish where I touched it, and the sphere melted little by little, and I felt my "body" clear for a while.
Until the fireball is completely extinguished, and the whole world is plunged into darkness.
I woke up.
The servants called the doctors, and they said, "I fainted at my mother's grave and fell asleep for three whole days."
But my attention wasn't on them.
Because I "see" the light.
Colorful, colorful, light flowing in the air.
I "see" them.
More accurate
I perceive them.
Because even when I close my eyes, I can feel their presence.
"Qi".
After 30 years of hard work, I finally got a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg.
I should be happy.
But I'm not happy at all.
I knew that maybe I could see Qi, not only the Spirit King was helping me, but even my mother was helping me.
It's not a happy thing.
I got my wish to get a glimpse of the end of the world and get a ticket to open a new world, but the price was too great.
It's too big to accept.
And that's just the first step.
During the three years of worrying about my mother, I carried out a careful study of "Qi", and I thought that if I could perceive Qi, I would be able to use it as a matter of course, and then naturally increase my strength, just like Kongqiu.
But in the process of researching, I found out that I was wrong, very wrong.
Being able to perceive Qi only means that you have stepped into a threshold, and it doesn't mean anything.
I should have thought that if I could use "Qi" just by perceiving it, that guy Kong Qiu could sense the existence of "Qi" since he was a child, so why could he only mobilize the "Qi" in his body superficially until now?
Even the act of pulling the "Qi" from the outside world to replenish oneself is passive.
That's when I realized that I might have been too simplistic from the beginning.
I thought that perceiving "Qi" was the end, but in fact, perceiving "Qi" was just a condition for standing on the starting line, and I still had a long way to go.
Heavy responsibilities.
Therefore, I decided to put aside the research on the use of "Qi" and the mastery of "Qi", and first of all, we should study how to popularize "Qi" widely.
How do you make others perceive Qi?
That's a big question.
Because ordinary people can't perceive "Qi", something that can't be seen or touched, and want to perceive it?
It sounds too mysterious, and there is no specific way to do it.
So what if I had someone try it my way?
I was able to perceive Qi because after my mother's death, I suddenly became enlightened in the midst of a surge of emotions.
So if a person's mother also dies, will she know "Qi" well?
I thought about it and didn't think it was reliable.
If the death of a loved one alone can stimulate emotions and produce a perception of Qi, then wouldn't everyone in this world be able to perceive Qi?
So, that's not the main reason.
Perhaps, my enlightenment has something else besides emotional stimulation.
What is that kind of thing?
I can't think of it.
But it was a flash of inspiration.
Confucius's awakening depends entirely on talent, and mine is an exception that cannot be replicated.
There is not only one way to awaken, and perhaps everyone has their own destiny.
I no longer forced the people around me to awaken, nor did I do all kinds of strange experiments from the servants of my family, and began to concentrate on researching ways to use "Qi".
I knew that this was the way I was supposed to go.
As long and winding as it is, it is my way.
Ding was worried for three years, and he was not allowed to advance an inch.
But my heart doesn't shake as freely as it used to be.
Firm belief is the reason why I have persevered until now, and now I am not for the sake of the human race, but also for my own way.
Now I am not a learned doctor, but a seeker.
After the second year of respecting the king, the mourning period expired and returned to the Zhou capital.
But I don't want to stay here anymore.
Zhoudu may be a prosperous place, but this world is so big that it is the way I want to go.
I'm going to find an opportunity to resign from the Spirit King.
After four years of respecting the king, the royal family was in turmoil, and the prince led his troops to capture the city of Liu Gong.
King Jing was persecuted.
When the Jin Kingdom was strong, he sent troops to help the king.
The prince's power was weak, and he fled to Chu with his old wingmen and royal classics.
I was blamed for dereliction of duty and was implicated in my resignation.
So he left the palace and went into seclusion, rode a green ox, and wanted to go west to Guguan and go to Qin.
The classics that the prince took away were actually useless, just some trivial records, but when King Jing was dismissed, I had nothing to refute.
Although it was a coincidence, it also achieved my goal.
I should go after my ways.
The green ox carried me away from Luoyi of the Zhou Dynasty, and after walking for long, I saw that the four fields were desolate, with broken walls and broken walls, broken well fences, broken and broken fields, barren countryside, and dry grass.
There were no ploughing horses in the fields, but the horses galloped endlessly on the avenues, and some of the horses dragged their big bellies and chased after them with great difficulty.
Witnessing this scene, my heart is like a knife.
The chaos of this world is caused by the princes, the princes are instigated by the evil dragon, and the civil strife of the human race is non-stop.
If we want to eradicate this scourge, we must not only spread the Qi Dharma widely, but also unite human beings, even other races (mixed races).
Thinking about this, I can't help but laugh at myself again.
I haven't even succeeded in studying the Qi method now, so how can I spread it widely?
Besides, people's hearts are numerous, how can they unite as one.
Worried in his heart, even the pace of the green ox under him was a little heavier.
On the afternoon of July 12, the sun set in the west, and the light shone eastward.
I had reached Hangu when suddenly a man with a square face, thick lips, thick eyebrows, and a nose rushed out of the gate and rushed forward to bow down: "I am fortunate to have met a saint! Guan Yin knocks on the saint!"
Over the years, although I have not studied the Qi method, I have a lot of experience with Wangqi.
Looking at this person, his face is square, majestic but not cold, soft and not flattering, surrounded by green energy, knowing that he is not an ordinary person, so he tentatively said: "Guan Ling Lord bows to the poor old man, which is a very courtesy! The old man didn't dare to take it, so I don't know what to say?"
Guan Yin said, "Old man, the saint too! Stay in the lodge to point out the path of spiritual practice."
I asked, "What is so sacred about the old man that you love so much?" Shame and shame, shame and shame to kill the old man?"
Guan Yin said: "Guan Yin is not talented, it is good to observe astronomy and know a little about changes. When I saw the purple qi coming from the east, I knew that there was a saint going west; Seeing the purple qi is vast, rolling like a dragon, its length is 30,000 miles, and the one who knows the coming is the most holy and supreme, not the usual saint; Seeing the white clouds at the head of purple gas, I know that the saint has white hair, which is the appearance of an old man; Seeing that there was a green ox before the purple qi, I knew that the saint came by the green ox."
Hearing this, I became interested.
Whether he really saw it or was patting on the back, this skill is indeed a bit miraculous.
Even, some are close to Kongqiu's huge strength!
Could it be that this person also has Qi in his body?
To be honest, over the years, I have only seen Confucius who was able to perceive Qi and had Qi in his body.
This kind of talent is rare and must be born.
After thinking about it, I agreed to his invitation and entered the customs with him.
Guan Yin led me to the official residence, invited me to sit down, burned incense and performed the disciple's ceremony, and pleaded, "Sir is the great sage of today! The saints do not steal their own wisdom, but take the wisdom of the world as their own responsibility."
"Now you will live in seclusion and be unkind, and those who seek advice will not be found! Why don't you make a book of your wisdom? Although Guan Yin is shallow, I hope that Mr. Dai will be passed on to future generations, and will be passed on through the ages for the benefit of all generations."
I avoided answering, just beckoning him to come forward.
I am dying, although my body will passively accept the nourishment of "Qi" because I can perceive the cause of "Qi", but I still can't escape the control of lifespan, at least, I am already old and dizzy.
Guan Yin stepped forward, and I looked over intently and found that his body was in an extremely wonderful state.
Between his walking, sitting, and lying movements, the Qi that was free in the space was constantly absorbed into his body, but after a moment, it overflowed from his body
。
And he himself didn't seem to be aware of it.
Is it the Qi method?
There was a sense of plausibility.
Although Kong Qiu does not know the Qi method, the Qi he passively absorbs will stay in his body and be used for his own use.
And Guan Yin's physical condition is obviously an ordinary person.
I asked Guan Yin, "Can you see the qi of the five lights?"
Guan Yin shook his head.
I understand that Guan Yin has no sense of Qi.
But it made me pay more attention to it.
There is no sense of Qi, but Qi can be absorbed into the body, which is undoubtedly a phenomenon worth studying.
Moreover, in my exploration, the Qi method is divided into three parts, which are absorption, storage, and utilization.
If you figure out how Guan Yin absorbed Qi, then the creation of Qi is one-third complete.
Moreover, I'm also curious, if Guan Yin is allowed to have a sense of Qi, will something wonderful happen?
So, I stayed in Hanguguan for a few days.
During this time, I carefully observed Guan Yin's daily life and found that he was no different from ordinary people, and he himself had nothing special except for being able to absorb Qi.
I also tried to stimulate him with the methods I had experimented with, but it didn't work.
Until one day, we talked about Guan Yin's past.
He said that when he was a child, he was frail and often bedridden, and one day, when he drank medicine and fell asleep, he dreamed that he had gone to a very distant place, and a large fireball appeared in the dream, which was flickering brightly and darkly.
He couldn't help but breathe in and out as the fireball flickered, and when he woke up, he found that he was much more relaxed, and that way of breathing, as if it was carved into his body, unconsciously began to breathe in that way.
Since then, he has gradually become healthier and rarely gets sick.
When I heard this, it dawned on me.
Fireball!
I also saw a fireball in the middle of nowhere.
The difference was that I broke the fireball and gained a sense of Qi.
And Guan Yin did not break the fireball, but followed the fireball to learn a wonderful way of breathing.
This way is the key to his body being able to absorb Qi!
I put everything together, but it always felt weird.
Coincidentally excessive.
Is this the Way?
Or is this the so-called fate?
I don't understand.
However, my research on the Qi method has finally achieved a breakthrough from zero to one.
