Confucian Cultivator Under One Person

Summary:

An extraordinary person is one who obtains Qi, feels Qi, and walks with Qi.

Therefore, always have it in order to observe its wonders, and always have nothing in order to observe its boundaries.

The mutual generation of existence and non-existence is called mystery. The mystery of mystery is the door to all wonders.

From the perspective of the scientific system, "human beings" are just a mass of matter composed of countless tiny particles and mixed with various chemical reactions, and the same is true of the world.

However, metaphysics is a completely different cognitive system.

In short, this is a story about a reborn person who grew up in a scientific system, was unable to perceive Qi, but always sought within, and ultimately reshaped his worldview.

I am good at cultivating my great spirit!

Chapter 1: Breathing can really make you lighter

When encountering events beyond common sense, people's thinking needs a foothold to expand their thinking. If there is no foothold as a basis, they will not think deeply because it is useless to think about it.

For example, would you ever think deeply about what God eats? Because if you don't even know whether God exists, there's no basis for thinking about it, so there's no point.

For example, when it comes to time travel, unless there is a golden finger like a system, there is no foothold. Even if you really think deeply about it, it is just your own speculation. No matter how much you think about it, it will only make you anxious.

On the contrary, when you really meet an alien one day, you will think deeply about everything about it based on the existence of the alien... because your thinking is based on the point of "the alien you met", and it has a foothold.

……

Fu Yuan realized that the world was different in the summer when he was six years old.

Before this, Fu Yuan upheld the qualities of a reincarnated person and, apart from being particularly well-behaved, he had not done anything to attract attention.

Until the summer when he was six years old, the weather was extremely hot, and Fu Yuan played in the river with several children in the village.

On the river bank is the village's sand and gravel factory.

The shore of the sand and gravel plant is naturally not a dock, and there is no lifting equipment or the like. It is just a slope, and the yellow sand and gravel brought by cargo ships are all carried ashore by manpower.

When carrying a load and walking on the gangway, it is inevitable that some sand will leak into the river from time to time. After many times and over a long period of time, the riverbed is no longer muddy or covered with aquatic plants. Instead, it is covered with a layer of yellow sand.

So this place became the favorite place for children in the village to play in the water.

Firstly, the river bottom is not muddy and there are no aquatic plants, so there is no need to worry about getting stuck at the bottom of the river. Secondly, there is a cement factory on the shore, so the adults can hear you if you shout.

Adults can also rest assured that their children can play in the water here.

For children, simply playing with water is boring, so some children will secretly bring foot basins and bathtubs from home.

The happiest time is when everyone steps on their own plate and sinks to the bottom of the water.

Fu Yuan is in his forties or fifties mentally, but he fits in quite well with a group of kids. So it is said that men remain young until they die.

As the noise went on, no one knew who first proposed it, but everyone started competing, lying on the smallest basin to see who could sink the slowest.

Fu Yuan knew in his heart that a small washbasin could not have much buoyancy and could not support any of the children present.

But children, how could they think about these things?

So they lay down one after another, and sure enough, the basin sank almost the moment the children put their weight on it, and sank even faster after entering the water.

It was Fu Yuan's turn. He followed suit, pressing his upper body onto the basin, then lifting his legs and putting his weight on them...

Whether it was the laws of physics or the example just now, Fu Yuan knew clearly that there was no need to wait for the lower body to be lifted out of the water before the basin would sink underwater because it could not support the weight.

So Fu Yuan had already made preparations, holding his breath and waiting to sink into the water.

At the same time, for some reason, I subconsciously took a breath...not really a deep breath!

But... how should I put it? It's like when people step onto something seemingly fragile, they subconsciously hold their breath and lift their hearts, as if that would make them feel lighter.

There is a term in martial arts called "lift your energy and lighten your body", which is probably what it means.

To take a deep breath does not mean to actually take a deep breath, but to feel yourself lifting your center of gravity...or in other words, to "lift" yourself up.

Breathing in will not change the weight of your body. Ultimately, it is just a psychological effect.

How could the mass of an object change just like that?

Fu Yuan took a deep breath psychologically, then slowly lifted his feet until his soles were out of the water.

Then his calves, knees, thighs... until his lower body was lifted out of the water.

The basin sank a lot, but the edge of the basin always remained above the water!

A washbasin that could not bear any weight at all actually carried all of Fu Yuan's weight steadily and floated on the water!

At this moment, Fu Yuan's three perspectives were destroyed. He was stunned and had only one thought in his mind:

This unscientific!

Did the buoyancy of the basin change? Definitely not!

Is it because of the change in my weight?

Can breathing in your body really make you feel lighter?

So where did the weight I lost go?

In other words, is this world really normal?

Fu Yuan's mind was in turmoil, but his lower body remained tilted, all his weight resting on the basin. He floated on the water, slowly rising and falling with the waves, turning...

one second...

Two seconds...

Until one child screamed, "Fu Erxiao is floating!"

“It really is floating!”

"That's awesome! I want to come too! I want to come too!"

"It's my turn..."

Amidst the noise, Fu Yuan could no longer hold on. The breath in his heart could no longer be lifted and fell.

As the breath fell, the whole person also pressed the basin down and sank into the water.

The water surface submerged his mouth, eyes, nose, and also submerged his three views!

There is only one thought in my mind:

How can this be?

……

All along, Fu Yuan thought that he was just living again with a different identity. The world was still the same, only his identity was different.

But reality told him that the world was different!

Just because I "took a breath of fresh air" psychologically, it actually caused my actual weight to change. What does that mean?

Consciousness interferes with reality?

If this is really the case, then what is "science"? Does it still exist?

But whether it was the village radio or the black and white TV bought by Dongzi's family, they all clearly told him that science was developing, and the development process was not much different from that in his previous life.

But how could the weight of a living person, who is not missing any limbs or organs, change so drastically?

Children would not think about this problem, but although Fu Yuan is a child on the surface, he actually has the psychological experience of a 40 or 50-year-old.

He couldn't stop thinking about it.

However, the thoughts of his previous life, which he had always been secretly proud of, came into sharp conflict with what was happening today!

His scientific thinking in his previous life told him that the mass of an object would never change with its state and position.

However, the reality of this world tells him that his thinking in his previous life was wrong, and consciousness can cause changes in the mass of real objects!

……

After trying a few more times, Fu Yuan ignored the other children's calls and sat down on the shore to think.

The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, and he didn't even know what he was afraid of.

It's a bit like the science fiction novel "The Three-Body Problem" I read in my previous life, where those scientists who discovered that physics doesn't exist committed suicide one after another...

Fu Yuan's face also began to turn pale. His faith was not shattered, but the worldview he had built on science in his previous life was now crumbling.

The children did not realize Fu Yuan's abnormality. Instead, Fu Guojin, who was working in a sand and gravel factory, saw his grandson sitting on the shore in a daze.

The grandson, who used to be well-behaved, was now sitting there blankly, his eyes fixed, as if he was stupid, and his little face was a little pale. This made Fu Guojin's heart jump. He hurried down and went to his grandson and asked, "Second child, what's wrong with you?"

Fu Yuan turned his head blankly, revealing a smile uglier than crying, and said, "Grandpa..."

Fu Guojin panicked and quickly picked up Fu Yuan. He carefully checked his body and found no wounds on his naked body. He breathed a sigh of relief and scolded the children who were still playing in the river, "Why don't you go home? Are you waiting for the water monkey to drag you all away? Go home now!"

The children looked at each other, grabbed their basins reluctantly, went ashore naked, put on their pants, and went home.

Fu Guojin then picked up Fu Yuan and after getting ashore, he softly asked, "Erxiao, tell grandpa, did someone bully you? Grandpa will go to his house!"

Fu Yuan shook his head, put his arms around Fu Guojin's neck, and whispered, "Grandpa, I was just scared."

"What scared you?"

Fu Yuan couldn't say it.

Fu Guojin did not ask any more questions. He picked up some dirt from the ground, pressed it on Fu Yuan's forehead, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Erxiao..."

After a while, seeing that Fu Yuan's face was still not very good, Fu Guojin thought about it and simply picked him up, left the gravel factory, and walked towards the end of the village.

……

All the houses in the village are built next to each other along the river, with only one exception.

That is the Liu family at the end of the village.

Although they are called the Liu family, there is actually only one old man left in the family.

These days all the young people have gone out to work, and there are not many young and middle-aged people left in the village. There are only old men and women with a group of tiny children.
