Under One Person: The River Map and Luoshu

Chapter 245 Half of the Cultivation Method
Du Heng's ears were callused after listening to him talking so much. He stretched out his fingers and pretended to dig at them, then said something indifferent.

"Look, I'm in a hurry!"

Wang Ye's face suddenly turned extremely dark. He was so angry that he grabbed Du Heng's collar, shook him angrily, and talked to him too.

"You're still playing tricks!"

"Ugh!" Du Heng was shaken so hard that his mind was shaking and he kept trembling. In order to prevent his brain from being thrown out, they quickly pulled him away.

"Will you listen to me? I'm not saying anything bad about you, Wang Dayan, but since you came down from the mountain and entered the secular world, you've been going backwards as a Taoist. You're full of foul language and your spirit is stained with dust. Aren't you afraid that Master Sanfeng will kill you with thunder?"

"There's no need for the master to send down thunder. Hitting you is already the greatest punishment the master has ever bestowed upon you." Wang also curled his lips.

"Tsk, we were just arguing, second brother, don't talk about the eldest brother, have you ever seen a hand clapping louder than the other?"

The two of them were talking back and forth, while Catherine and others were watching the joke with great interest.

Xiao Zizai, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly interrupted, "Brother Du, continue talking."

A deep and cold voice sounded, who dared not give face?

Du Heng was startled on the spot and nodded like a chick pecking at rice. He was always the most polite and started to tell the story immediately.

"Wang Dayan, remember what you said before, that you thought the twenty-four valleys represent people?"

"Yes, you're not quite right."

"Don't worry, I'll tell you about this question later. Now let's talk about why Ike was able to build the upper elixir."

Du Heng waved his hand and said, "The valley we walked through does represent the human spine. If we use the theory of Qi circulation, it is the Ren and Du meridians, and then we break through the three barriers and enter the Niwan Palace, so..."

He then smiled meaningfully and continued, "What does this maze under our feet represent?"

"First!" Wang Ye and Xiao Zizai spoke at the same time.

"Human head!" Catherine and others also realized it, but were a little slow.

"Yes, that's right. The innate Qi running in the Niwan Palace actually corresponds to the person walking in the maze."

"Old Du, this goes back to the paradox we talked about before: Ike's walking path is not consistent with the trajectory of the innate Qi."

After Wang Ye said this, others also reacted, and Catherine, the "outsider", began to speak.

"Yes, Du, according to what you said, the maze represents the human brain, so the walking trajectory should be consistent with the operation route of the innate Qi. Otherwise, how can it be considered an echo?"

"Sometimes when looking at a problem, the process is not important, the result is the truth, because the process can be reversed with the result. For example, he went around in circles in the maze and finally came to the center of the maze, while the innate Qi moved disorderly in the Niwan Palace and finally occupied the right position. This is the result. As for why the two are inconsistent?"

He paused, looked at Wang Ye, and said, "You just said that building the upper elixir depends not only on external forces, but also on self-reliance. Now that Ike's walking trajectory is inconsistent with the operation route of the innate Qi, doesn't it just verify the existence of external forces and self-reliance?

So, he is not in a "walking corpse" state, but his subconscious mind is controlling his body. Do you remember where the cultivation method contained in the engraving is passed to people?"

Catherine raised her hand and answered, "Subconscious!"

"Do you understand now?" Du Heng looked at everyone and asked.

understand?
How could I not understand?

It has been explained so clearly that even if you don’t understand you have to pretend to understand, otherwise I would be embarrassed to stay here.

Wang Ye let out a long sigh, then smacked his lips and muttered, "Tsk, Lao Du, you're so smart, it's stressful to be with you."

Du Heng patted his shoulder and said with an interested smile: "Don't worry, don't worry. If you are a little stupid, it will be more convenient for me to show off."

"Get out! Are you talking like a human being?" Wang Ye shrugged his shoulders, his forehead full of black lines. He was almost pissed off by his words.

Everyone burst into laughter. Catherine swayed over and blinked her green eyes playfully, saying, "Du, you are so humorous!"

"Heihei!" Du Heng smiled but didn't smile. He gave her a look and let her figure it out for herself.

After some joking, he turned his attention to Ike, half-crouching in front of him, using his ability to sense the changes in the construction of his upper elixir.

At the same time, Xiang Wang also asked, "I asked you to write down his movements and the route of his innate Qi. Did you remember them all?"

"Ok!"

Wang Ye took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over, "Here, it's all on it."

Du Heng took it and was about to check it when a head came up to him. He couldn't help but ask speechlessly, "Do you understand it?"

"That's why I read it because I don't understand it." Catherine looked at it seriously.

Du Heng shook his head in silence, and then he looked at it by himself, silently sketching out the trajectory and the route of the innate Qi recorded by Wang Ye in his mind. And Wang Ye was like a worm in his stomach, guessing what he wanted to do.

"Don't mess around. If you follow Ike's walking path, you might get yourself into trouble."

"It's okay. Just give it a try. Maybe you can discover something, or even get a way to improve your life skills. Then you can get something for nothing."

"What you said is reasonable. What does it mean to get something for nothing? I didn't record these things." Wang Ye wanted to discuss it with him immediately.

Du Heng was not angry, but waved his sword finger and said with a half-smile: "Tsk tsk, I thought you were really worried about me, but it turns out you are worried about your own share."

"fart!"

"Your words are quite strong, but you lack confidence. They don't come from the heart, Wang Dayan."

He made a joke casually, then became serious and immersed his mind in his dantian.

Mobilize Qi to get out of the Crimson Palace!

The Ren and Du meridians and three gates!

Directly enter the Niwan Palace.

Then follow the trajectory outlined in your mind.

Just when he was worried about whether he would get a stitch in the side or encounter other situations, in just a moment, he felt his soul tremble, as if a dry sponge was craving for water, but it quickly regained its composure.

"What's going on?" He frowned in thought.

Not knowing why, he tried several times, but the tremor in his soul never reappeared, and no matter how hard he tried, it was useless.

Soon he changed to a stupid method, started all over again, and began to circulate Qi from Dantian again.

As expected, that trembling feeling of desire in his soul reappeared, and then quickly disappeared. He then tried this stupid method a few more times, and the result was the same.

Seeing this, he gave up.

"How is it?" Wang Ye asked anxiously.

The others also turned their eyes to him, curious whether this method would work.

Du Heng nodded, then shook his head.

"Du, what do you mean?" Catherine was puzzled.

Wang Ye urged, "Old Du, don't do this. Just say what you have to say."

Du Heng explained, "It is indeed useful to follow the lines on the paper. The Yuanshen will tremble for a moment, just like a long drought finally meeting a downpour. It is very thirsty, but it only lasts for a moment. You and Brother Xiao can try it. There is no risk."

After saying that, he turned to look at Catherine and the others and said, "Don't even try it. You don't even know what Qi is."

"Uh!" Their faces fell, as if they were hit.

The treasure is right in front of us, but there is no key to open it. The thought of it makes me feel so frustrated. I can only watch Wang Ye and Xiao Zizai try.

The two of them circulated Qi according to the lines on the paper. After a while, they ended the process with mixed feelings. They looked at each other and understood what the feeling of desire Du Heng mentioned was. They had felt the same way just now.

Wang Ye sighed with lingering satisfaction, "This method can indeed increase one's life cultivation, but it's like giving a person who has been thirsty for a long time only a drop of water. No wonder he would feel thirsty. It's really a mixed blessing."

Xiao Zizai added, "If you repeat the Qi movement from the beginning, you can collect it drop by drop."

"Haha, Brother Xiao, even if you are the hardest-working person in the game, you can't do this. If you really do this, I'm afraid you won't be able to improve your life skills much in your lifetime." Du Heng shook his head and laughed.

"So what? What's going on?" Wang Ye asked.

Du Heng pinched his chin in thought, "Hmm? I guess this method is not complete."

"What do you mean?" Wang was also attracted.

Xiao Zizai, who has always been a vegetarian and a Buddhist, was also aroused by his curiosity.

Only Catherine and her group of international friends blinked their eyes, stared at Du Heng, and put on a flattering attitude so as not to appear so different.

It doesn't matter whether you understand it or not. It doesn't matter whether you are satisfied with it or not. The most important thing is to be able to get along with others.

“Think about it, the dual cultivation of sex and life is to build three elixirs. Now that Ike has obtained Qi, the Qi storage palace in the middle dantian has been opened up, and the soul storage palace in the upper dantian is building the upper elixir, but the essence storage palace in the lower dantian has not yet been built.

If the three elixirs are not fully constructed, the innate Qi cannot circulate throughout the body, and naturally it cannot be considered as practicing both sex and life. Therefore, we still need Ike to use the part of constructing the lower elixir in the practice method in the engraving."
