Chapter 131: What is Qi?
[Thank you for the big evaluation vote of the 'inscription', thank you! Continue to summon the cute 'recommended vote', everyone try your best!!]
What exactly is qi? This conjecture, which has been passed down for thousands of years, remains a mystery to this day. It is not that the predecessors have not studied it, on the contrary, the research on qi has never stopped, and there are various conjectures about the nature of qi. Why do we use the word conjecture? That's because there is no research result of the real surname that can be universally accepted, and similarly, in fact, the nature of mental power is still a conjecture, but most Qimen people believe that spiritual power is essentially a kind of bioelectric radiation caused by thought fluctuations.
However, Xie Jun doesn't think so, he thinks that spiritual power is essentially a field, as well as the fluctuation of the field, the field is a very wonderful thing, it can ignore space and obstacles, it has a strong penetrating power, and it even covers both virtual and real aspects. Xie Jun has his own bioradar as proof, which can directly confirm this, but he can't take out this evidence and communicate with others, so he can only rely more on his own exploration in this regard, fortunately, in the ancient classics, there seems to be a discussion of the field, which shows that it is likely that in earlier times, there were people who could witness the existence of the field like Xie Jun, but at that time, the ancients' concept of the field was different from today, and the words and definitions used to describe it were very vague, and even other meanings could be used to explain.
But for qi, Xie Jun has no experience, and the current Qimen and Chinese medicine do not have a convincing statement, Xie Jun has also followed the idea of spiritual power, trying to find the answer in the ancient classics of the earlier period, but, as we have just said, the words and concepts used in ancient times are different from today, the same sentence, can be understood as different meanings, if you do not have a preconceived idea, what you see and understand is likely to be completely different.
Therefore, even if there is indeed a true understanding of Qi hidden in those precious classics, Xie Jun does not have the ability to interpret it correctly, which is really a helpless fact. Perhaps, Xie Jun is not alone in the face of this helpless fact, among those major sects, it is impossible that there are no ancient classics, let alone no one to study, and the interpretation of qi is still inconsistent, obviously, everyone has not found a correct interpretation.
In fact, Xie Jun also has some speculation, he believes that qi is also a kind of field, and many of the manifestations of qi are compound characteristics of the field, but it is difficult to explain why this field can form meridian acupuncture points, and the meridians and acupuncture points themselves, in fact, are still unsolved mysteries, just like qi. This feeling of groping in the dark is too painful, so Xie Jun is really anxious to find someone to communicate with, of course, Zhu Zhengde may be a better choice, but unfortunately, now he has to retreat to the second.
Finally found an opportunity to interject in the heated conversation of the girls, Xie Jun hurriedly asked: "Miss Zhu, have you practiced qigong, I think your aura is very strong, even stronger than Feng Yu." ”
Xie Jun's question not only made Zhu Zhixin slightly surprised, but even Yan Fengyu was greatly surprised, it turned out that this girl who looked delicate and delicate was still a big master, and recalled it, fortunately, she didn't brag about her ability to practice qi and martial arts just now, otherwise it would be a shame.
"No, I'm just practicing health qigong, which is a prerequisite for learning Chinese medicine, and I don't know martial arts. Zhu Zhixin saw that everyone was looking at her with some strange eyes, so she quickly shook her hand and explained, for fear that these sisters would misunderstand that she intended to hide it.
Seeing Zhu Zhixin's anxious appearance, Xu Xiaoyan was amused and pitiful, reached out to hug Zhu Zhixin's shoulder, and comforted with a smile: "It's okay, everyone will have their own secrets, even between husband and wife, parents and children, don't care about these." ”
Zhu Zhixin has been learning from her grandfather since she was a child, and her surname is a little self-centered and introverted, there is a problem here, she has almost no friends of the same age, and she doesn't know how to get along with her friends, and even Zhu Zhengde is too protective of Zhu Zhixin in some aspects, which results in Zhu Zhixin's almost blank life and social experience.
Zhu Zhixin breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the kind smiles of the friends around her, and suddenly felt very happy and relaxed with them, this is an experience that has never been experienced before, especially being held in Xu Xiaoyan's arms, the sense of security of a big sister is really beautiful.
"Oh, I see. Master Na Xie......"
"Call him Xie Jun or Brother Xie, what are you doing like this, you are our little sister now. Lin Xuemeng interjected and interrupted Zhu Zhixin's question, and was very dissatisfied with the cozy attitude of Xie Jun and Zhu Zhixin.
Zhu Zhixin nodded obediently, and immediately became kind: "Oh, then Brother Xie, how did you know that I had practiced qigong?"
"Judging by your face, of course, I'm a warlock. Xie Jun looked at Zhu Zhixin, who was blinking with curious eyes from the mirror, and responded to nonsense, anyway, the truth can't be said.
"Then, why didn't they see that sister, aren't they warlocks?" Zhu Zhixin's straightforward question made the girls a little embarrassed, doesn't this mean that they are not as good as Xie Jun?
"Hehe, their level is not enough, they usually don't work, but now they are naturally embarrassed, hehe...... Oops!"
The elusive little hand accurately hit Xie Jun's waist, and Chen Keyan, who was facing away from Xie Jun, smiled proudly, causing the girls to laugh sneeringly.
Zhu Zhixin also laughed happily, she knew that her question just now might have belittled her sisters, but they were not angry, and Xie Jun directly picked out the words, not letting everyone leave a mustard in their hearts, this way of getting along with people is really easy and pleasant.
"Then Brother Xie asked just now, what's the matter?"
Zhu Zhixin is just lacking in life and social experience, and she is not stupid, if she is a stupid person, how can she be taught as the inheritor of the Zhu family? Xie Jun obviously had a purpose in provoking the topic just now, and Zhu Zhixin still understood this very well.
"That's right, in fact, we warlocks also want to practice qi, but there is a problem, the study of spiritual power, maybe we are much stronger than Chinese medicine, but when it comes to qi training, it is not easy to say, especially the study of the human body, maybe not as good as Chinese medicine, so, I think since you also practice qi, and the level is quite considerable, we may be able to exchange experiences. Let's make progress together, hehe......"
Xie Jun is like a big bad wolf who is tempting Little Red Riding Hood, trying to get the kind and innocent Zhu Zhixin to agree to this thing that seems to be completely unbeneficial to her.
Zhu Zhixin blinked her big pure eyes and asked, "This, that's our family's Qi-nourishing Qigong, it doesn't seem to be of much use to me to discuss it with Brother Xie, right?"
Everyone laughed, and Xie Jun scratched his head in embarrassment: "That, how about I exchange it with you by cultivating spiritual power?"
It seems that Xie Jun's method of cultivating spiritual power was downloaded from the Internet, but it was repeatedly revised by him, and now it is unrecognizable, if Xie Jun really uses this modified cultivation method to exchange with Zhu Zhixin, then Zhu Zhixin will definitely take a big advantage, but will Xie Jun really be so generous?
Seeing Zhu Zhixin looking at her in confusion, Xie Jun continued to explain: "Our Taoist cultivation, pay attention to the dual cultivation of surname and life, that is, spiritual power and qigong are cultivated together, these two actually complement each other and promote each other, if you only specialize in qigong, to a certain extent, you will enter a bottleneck that cannot be broken, I think your grandfather seems to have entered this bottleneck." Well, if you can't make up your mind, ask your grandfather, maybe he'll agree?"
Seeing that he couldn't fool Zhu Zhixin, who seemed to be simple and kind, Xie Jun had no choice but to come up with the idea of fooling Zhu Zhengde, and it was fair to use a simple and improved version of the Pure Heart Decision in exchange for a Qi-nourishing Qigong. The surprise between the different versions of the Qingxin Decision is not reflected in the height that cultivation can reach, but in the speed, the simple improved version is already many times faster than the original, even if it is placed in the Qimen sect, it can be regarded as a superior exercise, if it is really exchanged, the Zhu family will not suffer.
Chen Keyan saw Zhu Zhixin's tangled eyes, and explained loudly: "Don't worry about this matter, wait until you see your grandfather and discuss it slowly, if you believe my sister, then my sister will tell you that your family will definitely not suffer a loss in this exchange." ”
Chen Keyan knows Xie Jun very well, knowing that Xie Jun pays attention to cause and effect, and will never deceive or the like, so she naturally dares to pack the ticket generously, although she has not practiced the Qigong method and the Pure Heart Determination for a long time, and she does not have a deep understanding at all.
Xie Jun was not in a hurry about this, anyway, he had been stuck for a long time, so he was not in a hurry for such a while, so he changed the topic and asked: "So, Zhixin, can you tell me about your understanding of qi, which is not taboo, right?"
Zhu Zhixin glanced at Xie Jun embarrassedly, as if she was a little ashamed of her little family qi, and replied crisply: "Qi? In fact, our understanding of qi is divided into two parts, one is abstract qi, such as the qi of the five elements, and the other is what we call qi, the qi of health qigong, which is actually the qi of the essence of the human body. To be honest, I don't know what qi is, we just think that qi is a kind of energy, and this energy will be controlled by our consciousness, so that it moves in the body according to a certain route, of course, even if you don't control it, these qi are also moving according to those routes, but very slowly or even intermittently, when the movement of these essence qi goes wrong, people will get sick, and illness is just an external manifestation of the poor operation of essence. ”
Xie Jun was a little disappointed, but it was also reasonable: "In other words, you apply Qi as an unknown whole, and you don't need to explore the essence of Qi, just the ability to chase Qi?"
Zhu Zhixin frowned and thought for a while, nodded and responded: "Yes, Qi can make our acupuncture effect better, can allow us to perceive the changes in the pulse more carefully, and can also strengthen the body, and the rest, it seems that I haven't thought about it, just according to the exercises taught by my grandfather, if you want to know that, you have to communicate with my grandfather." ”
"Okay, it's still the veteran's best use!hehe......"
Zhu Zhixin made a naughty grimace to protest against Xie Jun's ridicule, which caused everyone to chuckle. Xie Jun's topic ended, and the girls behind him began to gossip again, Xie Jun looked at Zhuang Shen, who was listening attentively and excitedly, shook his head helplessly, closed his eyes and entered a semi-settled state, and continued to study his runes.
