I am an insect

Upon arriving at "Zunyue Mansion," he once again took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, climbed over the wall, and entered the villa.

They opened the basement and took out the ancient book, "Huangdi Neijing," from the safe.

Ji Ye knew that the contents of the "Huangdi Neijing" could be found online, but the ancient book he had obtained, although also titled "Huangdi Neijing", contained much more content than the version circulating online.

This book, "Huangdi Neijing," is divided into two parts: "Lingshu" and "Suwen." Its content is very extensive. In addition to medicine, it also records ancient philosophy, astronomy, meteorology, phenology, biology, geography, mathematics, sociology, psychology, musicology, and so on. It can be regarded as a comprehensive ancient book.

After carefully studying the "Huangdi Neijing" and the versions circulating online, Ji Ye discovered that the version circulating online was a censored version, in which many key texts had been deleted.

When he was still alive, he couldn't understand the meaning of these deleted literary narratives. Only after he transformed into an adult insect did he begin to slowly understand that these deleted texts were mainly useful for the adult insect state.

For example, the mental cultivation method of adult insects. When we are ordinary humans, no matter how hard we try, we cannot sense the mental energy between heaven and earth, let alone transport this energy into our bodies to strengthen our spirit and soul.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some individuals with special constitutions may be sensitive to mental energy and may be able to sense it, but such people are rare after all, and for the vast majority of normal people, these records are meaningless.

Ji Ye calmed down and picked up the thick "Huangdi Neijing" (Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic). Due to its age, the paper had turned yellow.

Gently stroking the cover, I thought of how special the paper was. I wondered what material it was made of. It looked like ordinary paper, but the touch was as delicate as stroking the skin of a beautiful woman.

Opening the cover, the first thing you see is an introduction to the Yellow Emperor.

Ji Ye knew that although the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic was traditionally attributed to the Yellow Emperor, its original author may not have been a single person. Rather, it was a compilation, supplementation, and development by generations of Huang-Lao physicians. The most widely accepted view in later generations is that the book was finally completed in the Western Han Dynasty. As pointed out in the Huainanzi, the name "Yellow Emperor" was used to trace the origins and emphasize the fundamental principles, thus illustrating the early development of traditional Chinese medicine.

Ji Ye originally believed this statement wholeheartedly, but after becoming an adult insect, he began to understand that the records in historical books were not necessarily all true, and the so-called mainstream statements were only for the general public.

Some truths don't need to be known by ordinary people.

Ji Ye looked at the records about the Yellow Emperor in the opening. He had read these records many times before and had not paid much attention to them. But now, these records seemed a bit strange.

"Most ancient books record that the Yellow Emperor mainly focus on his role as the leader of an ancient tribal alliance, the first of the Five Emperors, and revered as the progenitor of Chinese civilization. Of course, the main focus is on his deeds of defeating the Yan Emperor and conquering Chi You..."

"But this record about the Yellow Emperor doesn't focus on these things. Instead, it tells the story of how the Yellow Emperor attained immortality by sleeping with a thousand women, and it also emphasizes the mention of Chi You..."

Ji Ye saw the character "蚩" in Chi You's name and suddenly had a thought. The upper part of the character "蚩" resembled a trident, and the lower part was the character for insect. If you put these together, wouldn't it be an insect holding a trident weapon?

"That's interesting. The ancients created pictographic characters, and many characters originated from their original forms. Could it be that Chi You's true form was an adult insect wielding a trident? And that's why it eventually evolved into the character 'Chi'?"

Thinking of this, Ji Ye hurriedly took out He Longtao's phone and went online to search for records about Chi You.

"Chi You, a legendary weapon maker, is also known as the god of weapons. He is considered one of the three ancestors along with the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor. Another account says he was the leader of the Jiuli tribe in the east, and had eighty-one brothers, all of whom used copper as their weapon. He later fought against the Yellow Emperor at Zhuolu, was defeated, and was killed by Yinglong..."

"That's it! No wonder the upper part of the character 'Chi' resembles a weapon; it must refer to the weapons he created..."

Later, Ji Ye found a record of Chi You in the "Shu Yi Ji": "His ears and temples were like swords and halberds, and he had horns on his head."

"If Chi You is truly an adult insect like me, then could his so-called ears and temples resembling swords and horns on his head be an extension of his mental form? Or is his so-called trident-like weapon an extension of his mental form, like my hook?"

"This version of the *Huangdi Neijing* differs from the version circulating online. The deleted parts mainly target adult insects, but the opening now focuses on the Yellow Emperor's ascension to heaven with a woman and Chi You. Mentioning Chi You might imply that he was an adult insect, so what does the Yellow Emperor's ascension to heaven with a woman imply?"

Lost in thought, Ji Ye busied himself once again taking out his phone to search online for information about the Yellow Emperor's ascension to immortality through sexual intercourse with a woman.

Soon, numerous records about "the Yellow Emperor ascending to heaven after having relations with women" appeared, such as "he ascended to heaven in broad daylight after having relations with three thousand women" in Zhuangzi, and "the Thousand Golden Prescriptions for Sexual Health" mentioning that "the Yellow Emperor ascended to heaven after having relations with one thousand two hundred women".

After carefully collecting and reading the information, Ji Ye understood that the Yellow Emperor's ascension to immortality through sexual intercourse actually referred to the art of the bedroom.

"The Ode to Zhanghua Terrace says, 'I returned to the vast mansion where the wind blows, and built the main road of Huang Xuan. I took the delicate wrist of Xi Shi and the fair elbow of Mao Qiang.' This refers to the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan obtaining the art of the magic from Su Nu, which allowed him to hold his breath, inhale deeply, replenish his essence and brain, prolong his life, and forget about aging..."

When Ji Ye saw this, his heart stirred slightly. He remembered that there were indeed records about sexual techniques in the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic. He had tried it many times in the past, but gave up after failing to achieve any results. Only now, seeing the key mention in the opening section about the Yellow Emperor of having slept with three thousand women and ascending to immortality, did he realize that the sexual techniques recorded here only worked when the patient reached adulthood.

Thinking of this, Ji Ye hurriedly flipped through the pages again and quickly found a chapter titled "The Art of Yellow and Red".

The art of sexual intercourse is referred to as the "Yellow and Red Arts" in the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, which states that "the Yellow Emperor and Laozi used the Red Seal script to cultivate longevity."

Ji Ye calmed down and began to examine the document carefully.

"The spirit of the grain never dies; it is called the Mysterious Female. The gate of the Mysterious Female is called the root of Heaven and Earth. It is continuous and ever-present, and its use is inexhaustible..."

"Between heaven and earth, movement requires yin and yang. Yang is transformed by yin, and yin is connected by yang. Yin and yang depend on each other for their operation. Therefore, men feel strong and vigorous, and women move with openness and expansiveness. The two energies interact and the fluids flow together. If one understands this principle, one will feel joy and strength, and one's lifespan will be extended, and one's complexion will be as radiant as a flower..."

Ji Ye slowly read on and gradually gained some understanding. The process of the Yellow-Red Technique was not complicated. It required the combination of Yin and Yang, the exchange of essence between the two energies, and the flow of fluids. However, when he was still an ordinary person, he only regarded these records as a simple union of men and women and did not understand the specific meaning of the exchange of essence between the two energies and the flow of fluids, which led to some misunderstanding.
