The Lord of the Laws of Heaven

Chapter 41 Qi Practitioner

"This is my son. He has been reading the Four Books and Five Classics since he was young and has a quick mind." A middle-aged man said.

But next to the middle-aged man, there stood a child, holding a gift box in his hand. In front of the child was the image of an old man with a long beard.

"Jun'er, why don't you come forward and greet the teacher?"

The child stepped forward and held up the gift box, but saw a servant boy beside him also took the gift box and performed the ceremony of becoming a disciple.

The child here is Xiao Jun. After completing these tedious rituals, Xiao Jun can be considered to have become a disciple of the teacher and started attending school.

The old man looked at Xiao Jun's appearance. His eyes were clear and gleaming with intelligence. He was well-dressed and well-behaved. He nodded and said, "Yes, since you have already paid the tuition, I will do my best to teach you. How old are you, little boy?"

"He's over six years old."

"What books have you read and how many words do you know?" the old man asked again.

"I mainly read the Four Books and Five Classics passed down from my family."

"Then I would like to test you." The old man nodded, pondered for a while, and began to ask Xiao Jun questions.

These were simple fill-in-the-blank questions, requiring only a sentence to be answered and questions about the following sentences. Xiao Jun answered them all fluently, which pleased his father greatly. The old man nodded, expressing satisfaction.

"Yes, your son is indeed a good student. If he studies with me for three years, he will be able to pass the examination to become a student. If he studies hard for a few more years, he may be able to become a scholar." The old man nodded and smiled at the middle-aged man.

"You're too kind. My son reads books all the time at home. He spends every day meditating on the I Ching like a possessed person. He also likes to ask strange questions."

"The I Ching is a must-learn classic for Confucianism. A mastery of its principles is beneficial to self-cultivation and interpersonal relationships. A love of asking questions demonstrates an ability to draw inferences from one instance." The old man smiled and replied, "After tomorrow, have your son bring his writing brush and paper to school."

"Thank you, Mr. Li!" The middle-aged man smiled and bowed, then led Xiao Jun away.

……

Xiao Jun was thrown into a private school.

Although learning is indeed a fun thing for Xiao Jun, what Xiao Jun wants to learn is often inconsistent with what is taught in the private school.

Ever since Xiao Jun comprehended the secret of life through the "Zhouyi Cantongqi", he began to constantly regulate the Qi in his body and continuously collect the great medicine in his body to refine the clear and spiritual Qi.

This pure and spiritual energy can constantly cleanse distracting thoughts, allowing people to be inspired and think smoothly. However, it still cannot enhance wisdom and thinking, nor can it control the vital energy of heaven and earth through the pure and spiritual energy.

During this period, Xiao Jun also achieved two major results. The first was "the harmony between body and mind", and the second was "refining essence into qi, and refining qi into spirit".

The first result is very simple. The birth of a person's thoughts not only consumes his mental energy, but also creates a kind of energy in the body.

For example, when evil thoughts arise in the body, an evil energy is generated; when righteous thoughts arise in the body, a righteous energy is generated; and when people think too much and feel depressed, a depressed energy is generated in the body.

According to this principle, if one's mind remains pure and tranquil, a pure and tranquil energy will be generated in the body. If one's mind is filled with sunshine, a yang energy will be generated in the body.

Therefore, through reading, learning, meditation, and Zen, and by changing one's thoughts, various qi mechanisms can be generated within the human body, and one's own vitality and temperament can be transformed through thoughts.

But conversely, the body also has an impact on the mind. With righteous energy, thoughts become upright; with evil energy, thoughts become vulgar and lowly; with pure and tranquil energy, thoughts remain pure and tranquil.

This is the "body and mind correspondence." The mind and the body's condition influence each other, which gave Xiao Jun insight into the source of mental strength. The source of mental strength is a kind of heart energy. The human body has a kind of heart energy. With heart energy, people have the mental strength to think.

When one's heart is high, one's mental strength becomes stronger, one's will becomes more upright, and one's thinking becomes sharper. When one's heart is low, one's thinking ability is extremely poor, and one's brain is numb all day long. If one's heart is impetuous, one will also be impetuous. If one's heart is evil, one will also be evil.

With the help of the Zhouyi Cantongqi, Xiao Jun comprehended the secrets of heart and spirit, and was able to cultivate a steady and peaceful heart and spirit within his body. At the same time, he could cultivate heart and spirit within his body through the method of changing his mind.

For example, visualizing the sun, using its image to connect with the true meanings of masculinity, vitality, and brightness, can generate yang energy and vitality within the body. This is the profound power of visualization. Visualization is a process of transforming one's thoughts, refining one's thoughts and thereby altering the flow of qi within the body.

So-called scholars cultivate a mindset of benevolence and justice through reading, and by constantly upholding these, they nurture vitality and righteousness within their bodies, transforming their temperament. Whether reading or meditating, the essence of this is to transform one's thoughts and harness one's mental energy, a practice known as refining the mind.

In Xiao Jun's eyes, mental strength and thoughts are treated as a kind of material to be refined.

This is "body and mind correspondence," the fundamental method of cultivation Xiao Jun discovered through his insights. Drawing on the Zhouyi Cantongqi (Book of Changes) and the principle of "body and mind correspondence," Xiao Jun analyzes and refines various Qi mechanisms within his body, deducing them through hexagrams and mathematical calculations.

The body is the furnace for refining all kinds of Qi. By using this furnace, we can analyze the mysteries of all kinds of Qi.

In addition to the clear and spiritual energy deduced by Xiao Jun through medical skills and the principles of the marrow cleansing pill, he also referred to the relationship between the body's mental strength and mental energy to refine streams of mental energy.

Xiao Jun also cultivated a Qi in his body that replenished his energy. This Qi was formed through the knowledge and true meaning of Pei Yuan Technique. This Qi would continuously replenish and nourish his own essence.

It also refined a stream of nourishing energy, which was transformed from a gentle vitality. It could continuously polish away the lesions in the human body, eliminate the latent causes of disease in the body, and nourish life and prolong life.

Xiao Jun also wanted to refine the longevity energy and divine energy, but unfortunately he failed.

Xiao Jun wanted to comprehend the secret of lifespan, a kind of Qi that would allow him to completely break through the limitations of his lifespan. However, Xiao Jun had no knowledge of lifespan, so he naturally failed. Unless Xiao Jun could comprehend the secret of lifespan, melt the avenue of lifespan into his Qi, and refine the longevity Qi, he would be able to extend his lifespan.

The divine energy was a kind of energy that Xiao Jun was going to use to directly nourish the soul, to allow the soul and consciousness to grow directly. By the same principle, Xiao Jun was not proficient in and did not understand the mysteries of the soul and consciousness, so the divine energy failed.

However, the failure of the research on spiritual energy did not mean that Xiao Jun had no achievements. This achievement was "refining essence into energy, and refining energy into spirit."

In fact, "refining essence into qi, and refining qi into spirit" is not as mysterious as it is said to be. In fact, it is the instinct of the human body and a basic law of life.

When people eat, they absorb the essence of the food and convert it into energy that enables them to move. This energy is "qi", which is the process of "refining essence into qi".

This energy in the human body supports the human mind in thinking about problems. This is "refining qi into spirit".

This is not a complicated matter. It is the original law of every life. Cultivation is to master this law and evolve oneself.

Xiao Jun is trying to master this law, using hexagrams to represent the Qi in the human body and transforming the changes in Qi into mathematical problems of hexagram deduction.

Then, through the analysis of mathematical problems, one can comprehend the knowledge contained in the law of "refining essence into qi, and refining qi into spirit". Finally, through the alchemy furnace of the human body, one can refine a "divine energy" to increase one's spiritual consciousness and wisdom.

Divine energy is what Xiao Jun thought was a kind of energy that could replace talent and strengthen the energy of the soul.

Xiao Jun was often distracted in the private school, and his attention shifted to his own body. Through the calculations of the I Ching and the Eight Trigrams, he deduced the great secret of life: "refining essence into qi, and refining qi into spirit."

In addition, Xiao Jun is constantly integrating his knowledge and understanding of the way of tranquility into the pure and spiritual energy, making the effect of the pure and spiritual energy even more powerful.

The same goes for the rest of the replenishing of qi and nourishing of qi. The deeper your understanding of the principles and the more knowledge you master, the better the effect of replenishing qi and nourishing of qi will be.

"Others use their talents to respond to their spirits. They write about the principles of heaven, earth, and humanity."

"And I use the principles of heaven, earth, and humanity to refine my energy. Our methods are different, but both involve comprehending the truth."

"The people of this world are Wendao."

"Then my Tao, could it be the Tao method?"

"Perhaps I can call him... a Qigong practitioner!"
