Building a sect from scratch

"Physics, that is, physics, is a discipline that studies the most general laws of motion and the basic structure of matter. It is also the research basis for other natural science disciplines."

"Fellow Daoist Wang, what does 'matter' mean?"

"It is the physical objects and fields that make up all objects in the universe. All entities in the world are matter."

"Then spiritual energy is also a 'matter'?"

"I personally think, yes. But since there are no conclusive experiments to prove that it can be observed, we cannot rule out the possibility that it does not belong to matter."

Wang Qiqing's words caused goosebumps to rise all over Lu Wenyuan's back.

This familiar yet unfamiliar way of speaking, or describing things, is exactly the same as the style of the test questions on the exam paper he took just now! This kind of rigor, meticulousness, and meticulousness are as tight as the mortise and tenon joints in a building, and it feels like it comes from a new and grand world!

No, they are knowledge from another world!

In an instant, his desire for knowledge severely knocked down his arrogance. Lu Wenyuan made a rare bow to this monk in the Qi Refining Stage, whom he usually would not take a second look at, and said in a respectful tone: "Fellow Daoist Wang, please be generous. Give me some advice!”

"Hey, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no," Wang Qiqing was startled. He quickly helped the other person up and said enthusiastically: "There is a priority in learning the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art. Let's do it this way. I happen to suffer from too many doubts in practice. The two of us How about we go together, you teach me how to practice, and I teach you about natural science and physics?"

This kind of communication experience between two monks with huge differences in cultivation but rare equality was something Lu Wenyuan had never experienced before. Inexplicably, he raised the corners of his lips: "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful!"

As soon as Lu Wenyuan finished speaking, he saw Wang Qiqing skillfully taking out a small table from nowhere, followed by two cushioned chairs, placing them on the spot as if there was no one around, and invited him very naturally: "Come on, fellow Taoist, sit down first and let's talk slowly!"

Lu Wenyuan subconsciously looked around. Although there were many people in the museum, because the venue was large and they were far apart from each other, the two people's voices did not affect anyone. Even the person sitting behind the counter at the door was dozing off. The administrator also turned a blind eye to Wang Qiqing's behavior.

"It's okay! I sorted out a lot of the books in this library! And there's no rule against bringing tables and chairs. It just says you can't eat or drink inside, right?"

Wang Qiqing sat down first as usual, took out a few leather notebooks and a dozen pieces of straw paper, held the most popular graphite pen in Chang'an City in his hand, and quickly got into the mood.

Seeing this, Lu Wenyuan had no choice but to follow him and take a seat. He pretended to be humble and asked: "I wonder what confusion my friend has about spiritual practice? Although I am only a golden elixir, I still have some knowledge about spiritual practice. Maybe I can help my fellow Taoist." Clear up one or two doubts.”

"Fellow Taoist, look, I don't understand a bit about how to introduce qi into the body. I've read that it's mentioned in many books on the theory of qi, such as "Tai Shang Xuan Yin Qi Yin Jue" and "Tian Yuan Qi Induction Technique". Use spiritual energy to cleanse the eight extraordinary meridians, but in the modern medical theory of our Blue Star that I know, 'meridians' are blood vessels. I can find this, but I don't understand this 'meridian'. How can I find the so-called 'meridian'? Where's the scripture?"

Wang Qiqing asked unceremoniously while spreading out a folded piece of paper, which was a rather detailed diagram of human anatomy and blood vessels.

"The Eight Extraordinary Meridians are just one...category of the meridians,"

Lu Wenyuan tried to explain in this rigorous and detailed way that he was new to: "I think the blood vessel you mentioned is indeed the 'meridian'. As for the 'meridian'... Fellow Daoist Wang, close your eyes now and mobilize your spirit." Don't deliberately guide it, just absorb the spiritual energy from the surroundings and let it gather freely until it overflows, and you can feel where it flows. When the spiritual energy spreads throughout the body, this path is the 'meridian'."

Wang Qiqing frowned: "Does it have no entity? It has never been observed?"

"It depends on what meridians it is. The eleven meridians are just like your picture. They are tangible and observable." Speaking of rising, Lu Wenyuan learned several new words without any teacher, and even used them very vigorously. Er: "But the eight extraordinary meridians can only be felt by the movement of spiritual energy in the body."

Wang Qiqing suddenly realized: "It's the path of spiritual energy!"

Lu Wenyuan thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's about it, but you are right. So far, no one has tried to 'observe' it."

"Meridians... spiritual energy..."

Wang Qiqing was thinking, quickly writing and drawing on the straw paper, recording his momentary inspiration.

"If aura is a real substance, then will objects affected by this substance undergo a supernatural change? Well... let's call it a 'spiritual reaction'!

"If it is really a 'spiritual reaction', there should be no concept of spiritlessness in the entire Guixu Realm, but this is inconsistent with the facts. Then, why is the probability of a 'spiritual reaction' not 100%? What is it? Suppressed the 'spiritualization' of most objects?

"In addition, will higher-level creatures be more likely to actively interact with spiritual energy? Judging from the current statistics, ordinary people who study and practice in all systems can perform the most basic and simple behaviors of sensing energy. After being guided and After learning, more than 80% of the people who can initially draw Qi are more than 80% of the total. This is very different from plants with larger base numbers but less "spiritualization".

“If we can find a way or a catalyst to help plants carry out ‘spiritualization reactions’, does that mean the ‘spiritualization’ of all matter in the Guixu Realm?

"If not, why?

"Does aura have the property of being 'alive'?

"What exactly is aura?"

The huge black question mark took up the space of several words. Wang Qiqing became more and more excited as he wrote. He was panting and sweat was dripping from his forehead. He seemed to be struggling with something, or fighting and charging.

"Wang... Daoyou Wang?"

Lv Wenyuan couldn't understand the words written by Wang Qiqing. He only saw that the other party suddenly immersed himself in a state of ecstasy while talking, and was stunned.

Wang Qiqing was pulled out of that strange state by Lv Wenyuan's voice, but before his brain could react, his mouth subconsciously yelled: "What exactly is aura! ? "

Many people in the entire library looked over, making Lv Wenyuan want to pretend that he didn't know the Taiyin Sect disciple in front of him who was originally quite normal but suddenly became abnormal for some reason. If Lv Wenyuan had been with the players for a long time, he would know that this situation is called: social death.

Even more socially dead, there were faint discussions in his ears:

"Spiritual energy is just spiritual energy, what else can it be!"

"Don't be afraid that the man is a fool, right?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, what if he is too fragile to bear it, it's better not to say it!"

The statement about the eleven meridians: Although there should be twelve meridians in the systematic theory of traditional Chinese medicine, I use the statement of "Huangdi Neijing" and its previous versions, which is eleven meridians.

As for the later meridian... it should be the obsessive-compulsive disorder of our ancestors.

Including meridians (channels), they are recorded in "Huangdi Neijing" as observable (visible to the naked eye) and have entities, and it was not until modern times that they became more and more metaphysical.
