Travel through the heavens

Why can't blood and qi stay in the Ren Meridian?

Fang Muye fell into deep thought.

After thinking for a long time, he had a rough guess in his mind.

Is it because of the "environment"?

The eight extra meridians are responsible for yang energy, while the twelve regular meridians are responsible for blood and qi. When blood and qi enter the eight extra meridians, they are rejected or cannot adapt because they are not their home turf and the environment is not suitable, so they "dissipate".

It's like a glass of water. When it's in the glass, it exists and can be seen. But if you pour it onto the sand, it will seep into the sand and disappear.

If you don't want the water to seep into the sand and only consider the water itself, one way is to freeze the glass of water into ice cubes so that it can be placed on the sand.

Therefore, if you want the blood and Qi to remain in the eight extraordinary meridians, you need to refine them into true Qi. However, once the blood and Qi enter the Ren meridian, they will dissipate before they can be refined.

This seems to have brought us back to the original question.

But after thinking about it just now, Fang Muye has already thought of a feasible solution.

Before water freezes into ice, you can isolate it from the sand so that it does not seep into the sand.

The same is true for blood and qi.

At this moment, Fang Muye concentrated his mind and divided his thoughts into two paths. One path guided a trace of blood and energy along the hand Taiyin lung meridian to Lieque, and then into the Ren meridian, while the other path controlled the true energy in Dantian and circulated it along the Ren and Du meridians.

Fang Muye moved his Qi carefully, controlling the speed of the two routes.

When blood and qi enter the Ren meridian from the Lieque meridian, the true qi circulates through this place. The moment the two internal qi meet, the true qi immediately wraps up the blood and qi.

Sure enough, with the isolation of the true Qi, the blood and Qi did not dissipate.

Fang Muye continued to circulate Qi, and when the true Qi returned to Dantian along the Ren Meridian, not only was the true Qi nourished, but the blood also turned into true Qi.

Become!

Fang Muye was delighted and immediately concentrated on practicing.

Over and over again, the more times he refined it, the more skilled and handy Fang Muye became.

Moreover, as more and more blood and qi are refined, the true qi in the Ren and Du meridians becomes stronger and stronger. In this way, the amount of blood and qi that can be refined increases each time, and the efficiency of refining qi becomes higher and higher.

The true energy in Dantian is like a snowball, growing bigger and bigger.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but the true energy flowing through Fang Muye's Ren and Du meridians had grown hundreds of times stronger, like a trickle of water, flowing joyfully and galloping.

At this moment, a sudden feeling of weakness came over him. Fang Muye's Qi returned to his Dantian and he stopped refining Qi.

He had been concentrating on refining his Qi and hadn't paid attention to it just now. At this moment, when he carefully sensed it, he realized that his Qi and blood had become dull and thin.

"No wonder I feel weak. Luckily my body gave me a warning. Otherwise, if I continued to train like this, I'm afraid my foundation would be damaged."

Fang Muye opened his eyes and stood up. The moment he stood up, he suddenly felt dizzy.

"It's so weak."

Fang Muye couldn't help but mutter.

It was afternoon when he entered the house, and now judging from the sun, it was almost noon.

"It's almost time to go back."

Fang Muye then left Cui Daorong's house, locked the gate, and walked towards his own home.

At this time, the street was crowded with people and very lively. Many neighbors nearby cast strange looks at him when they saw him, and some even lowered their heads and talked to each other, pointing at him.

Several familiar people also came forward to express their concern and advice: "Dr. Cui, I am sorry, you must take care of yourself!"

Fang Muye responded politely, walked into the alley under the gaze of everyone, and knocked on the door.

"Xiao Wan, you cook. I'll go open the door." Yuzhen's voice came from the yard.

It didn't take long before the gate was opened.

Yuzhen stood behind the door, looking at the person in front of her, suddenly stunned, and then her eyes instantly became moist.

Fang Muye called softly: "Yuzhen, I'm back!"

Yuzhen shed two lines of tears and asked in a sobbing voice: "Daoning, you are finally back. Why are you so thin?"

Fang Muye reached out to wipe Yuzhen's tears and said softly, "Don't cry." Then he took her hand and walked into the yard.

Lin Xiaowan, who was cooking in the kitchen, turned her head and looked over. She was as if she had seen a ghost and screamed, "Boss!"

Fang Muye finally realized that something was wrong when he saw Yuzhen and Lin Xiaowan's reactions when they first saw him, and thought about the way people on the street looked at him just now. He asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Yuzhen finally stopped crying. She choked up and said, "Sit down and rest first. I'll go upstairs and get you a mirror. You'll know when you see it."

Fang Muye sat at the table in the yard, took the mirror handed to him by Yuzhen, and looked at himself.

"Uh, is this me?"

The person in the mirror had a yellow face, sunken eye sockets, slightly concave cheeks, and cheekbones almost exposed, like a refugee who had been fleeing famine for several months.

"No wonder everyone looks at me strangely."

Blood and Qi can nourish the flesh and blood. If the blood and Qi are insufficient, the face will be sallow and the body will be thin. It's all my fault for refining Qi too hard, which has greatly depleted my blood and Qi, so I have become like this.

Be moderate in the future!

Yuzhen looked at Fang Muye with heartache, her eyes reddening again: "Dao Ning, Dao Rong is gone, you have to let it go, you can't be so careless about your body. I can't imagine how you have been through the past five days." As she spoke, tears began to fall.

Five days? I thought only one day had passed, but I didn't expect that five days had passed?

Fang Muye held Yuzhen's hand and comforted her with a smile: "Okay, don't cry anymore. I promise you that I will take good care of my body in the future, okay?"

He turned his head to the kitchen and shouted, "Xiao Wan, is the meal almost ready? I'm hungry."

"It's almost done, almost done, boss. Just wait a moment and you'll be able to eat soon." Lin Xiaowan responded loudly, and her hands couldn't help but speed up the cooking process.

Ten days later, Fang Muye finally returned to normal.

During these ten days, he ate a lot of meat and fish for every meal, eating the amount of food that four or five people could eat by themselves. He also took precious medicinal herbs for nourishment every day, and he ate several hundred-year-old ginseng alone.

After eating, he would practice boxing in the courtyard, refining his essence into qi, and then using the qi to nourish his body.

Fang Muye's body is now full of blood and energy, even more than before. It can be said that he has broken through and then stood up again.

There are great opportunities between life and death. Although Fang Muye’s situation was not as bad as this before, he was also on the critical line of damaging his foundation.

As for refining blood and qi into true qi to the same extent as before, Fang Muye did not dare to try it again.

Although it is said that wealth and honor are achieved through risk, this kind of thing is like walking on a tightrope. If you are not careful, you will lose everything. If you damage the foundation, the body will be like a sieve with holes, and the essence will leak out everywhere. At that time, let alone replenishing the lost blood and energy, you may not even be able to retain the true energy.

Everything should be done in moderation. Lao Tzu said in the Tao Te Ching: If you know when to stop, you can avoid danger.

If Fang Muye refines his blood and qi moderately and does it more often, he can achieve good results. It just takes more time.

But if a goal can be achieved with time, why bother to destroy the foundation in order to achieve it?

After all, what Fang Muye has the most is time.
