"Talking about Heaven" says: "Heaven and earth contain Qi naturally. The sky covers the top, the earth gnaws below, the lower Qi steams up, the upper Qi descends, and all things arise in the middle of it."
It is also recorded in the "Material Potential Chapter": "Man is born in heaven and earth, just like fish in the abyss, and lice in humans. They are born due to Qi, and species are produced in each other. All things are born between heaven and earth, and they are all one and the same."
This shows the importance of "Qi". It is everywhere in the sky and on the earth. All things grow freely because of it. It is the original substance that constitutes the heaven and earth.
"Qi" refers to the innate Qi, and "Qi" refers to the acquired Qi.
As the environment changes in later generations, the innate Qi becomes less and less, and most of it is acquired Qi.
Exhaust gases from cars, factories, and harmful gases from burning materials fill the world.
Human beings continue to expand their territories and seem to live under blue skies and white clouds.
In fact, the blue sky had already been covered with a faint layer of gloom. Although we later realized the importance of environmental protection and began to take care of it, this was obviously a long process.
Destruction seems to be easier than creation.
There is less and less "qi" in the air now, and even if there is, it is not something that ordinary people can easily absorb.
Ordinary people's meridians are blocked and there are too many impurities in the body, so they cannot absorb Qi at all.
It is elusive, contains the supreme way, and is an intangible thing.
Even in ancient times, the innate energy was vast between heaven and earth, but the ancients could not absorb it at will.
This thing is the origin of heaven and earth and is not controlled by humans. If you want to absorb it, it is equivalent to entering Taoism and practicing and gaining the ability to control Qi.
And since ancient times, no one has taken the first step in cultivation, how can they absorb the energy of heaven and earth?
But when Ye Qin stepped into the third realm, his body could absorb and accommodate the "qi" between heaven and earth. Refining qi from heaven and earth can also be regarded as drawing qi into the body!
Draw in the innate Qi, nourish your body, and form a great cycle with heaven and earth!
And now this Qi was sent into the woman's body by him.
"Lunheng" It is said in the chapter "Daoxu": "Real people eat Qi, and those who eat Qi live longer than they die."
It can be seen that if one absorbs the refining Qi for a long time, one can achieve immortality.
Although this view cannot be proven true or false, because no one has been able to reach this point since ancient times, but judging from various ancient books, the possibility is still relatively high.
Because "Qi" is the origin of all things.
Before the creation of heaven and earth, when chaos was not yet opened, and when Yin and Yang were finalized, the original Qi that gave birth to the earth, the earth, and all things in life was called the innate Qi.
If you want to live forever, you must preserve this Qi.
"Xuanmiao Sutra" also says: "Heaven has a vast Qi, so it can give birth to humans, and humans have a vast Qi, so they can survive."
Therefore, with "Qi" in the body, in a certain way, it has the effect of bringing the dead back to life.
Because the vitality contained in it can restore people's body functions to their peak state, and can even stimulate the energy in the body.
However, Ye Qin's cultivation and realm have not reached such a powerful level. In addition, this "Qi" has been refined by him, and the most essence has been absorbed by himself.
Therefore, although it can extend a woman's life, it is not as exaggerated as it is said in ancient books. It just pulls her back from the brink of death.
Although Hu Xiaocao couldn't see the existence of "Qi", she could feel the inexplicable changes in the air. Her crying gradually stopped, but she saw Ye Qin's movements through her tearful eyes.
"Grandpa Mountain God!"
Her eyes burst with unparalleled joy, like a traveler walking in the desert who finally saw an oasis.
Hu Xiaocao ran over excitedly, bursting into tears and laughing: "I knew you were a mountain god, how could you die so easily."
She watched with her own eyes as Ye Qin raised the snake's head and blew on his mother. She also felt the surge of breath and thought that Ye Qin would cast a spell next.
However, after that, there was no movement.
Is this gone?
Hu Xiaocao's tears were still hanging on her eyelashes, and her expression of disbelief was mixed with some lingering sadness, making her look a little funny.
"Grandpa Mountain God?"
Hu Xiaocao shouted in surprise and found that Ye Qin had returned to the same half-dead state as before, as if it was her hallucination just now.
But Hu Xiaocao can be sure that Ye Qin did move just now, and even blew at his mother!
She wanted to touch it, but was afraid it would be disrespectful to Ye Qin.
Looking at the unconscious woman next to him, Hu Xiaocao found that her mother's breathing seemed to be much calmer and no longer rapid.
It seems to be really effective!
Hu Xiaocao was very pleasantly surprised, thinking that he was indeed the mountain god.
"Thank you, Grandpa Mountain God, for your great kindness. Xiaocao will repay you later. You have a good rest first, and I will take my mother down the mountain."
Hu Xiaocao knelt down and kowtowed again, then turned around and pulled her mother down the mountain.
And after Hu Xiaocao returned to the village with the woman.
The village chief went crazy looking for them, but still couldn't find them. Unexpectedly, they came back on their own.
"Xiaocao, where did you go? We are worried about you."
Faced with everyone's concern, Hu Xiaocao felt a little guilty, "I'm sorry for causing trouble to everyone. I took my mother to the mountain god for treatment."
The villagers didn't believe in the mountain god's theory of curing illnesses. They just wanted to blame Hu Xiaocao for being too reckless, but they didn't give them a consultation.
When the words came to his lips, looking at Hu Xiaocao's pitiful expression, he could only swallow them back.
When he saw the scars on her body and forehead, he couldn't bear to say reproachful words.
"You kid, hurry up and apply the medicine. Why are you in such a mess? The skin on your palms and shoulders is scratched."
Everyone helped the woman into the room and put her on the bed.
After Hu Xiaocao finished applying the medicine, she stayed by the woman's side every step of the way. Even when she went to bed at night, she didn't dare to close her eyes.
The woman's breath was too weak, and there was no possibility of saving her. Even pouring soup and water had no effect.
The villagers who saw this scene all shook their heads. Everyone knew that the woman had half her foot in the coffin, and it was only a matter of time before she was buried, but they just couldn't bear to say it.
Aunt Li looked at the bruises and bags under Hu Xiaocao's eyes, and couldn't help but said: "Xiaocao, go and have a rest. I'll just look after it for you."
Hu Xiaocao shook his head and said stubbornly, "No, Grandpa Mountain God has cast a spell. Mom will definitely wake up soon."
She vaguely sensed that at some point on the mountain, her mother had actually expired, but because of the mountain god's action, that breath returned to the woman's body.
Although she looks weak now, Hu Xiaocao believes that her mother will wake up sooner or later.
Hu Xiaocao, who had always been well-behaved and filial, was particularly resistant at the moment when facing the items brought by the villagers.
"I won't wear this! Mom won't die. If I wear this, wouldn't I be cursing her?"
Wu Yuan had already said that the woman might not be able to survive the night and should prepare early, but Hu Xiaocao refused to cooperate and began to throw out all the white flags and other things.
"Xiaocao, you can't do this. It's unlucky, and your mother will need these things soon."
"Yes, Xiaocao."
The villagers tried to reason with Hu Xiaocao.
But Hu Xiaocao covered her ears, "I don't listen, I don't listen, my mother will not die. Grandpa Mountain God saved her and blew on her, and my mother will live."
This was probably the most rebellious time when Hu Xiaocao was growing up.
The villagers just thought that Hu Xiaocao was unwilling to accept the reality and deliberately made it up, and they felt even more sorry for the child.
"Xiaocao, you are a good boy. Your mother may-"
However, before Aunt Li finished speaking, a faint female voice suddenly sounded.
"Little - grass -"
