Chapter 040
In the study, Lu Xueqiang and Wu Manqing were lying on the bed, closing their eyes and listening to Ye Ling's explanation of how to enter tranquility.
“First keep yourself in a state of natural relaxation all over your body, then take six quick, short breaths to exhale the accumulated air in your lungs, and then take three deep breaths in the reverse abdominal position.
Reverse abdominal position, that is, the lower abdomen is slightly drawn inward when inhaling, and slightly expanded when exhaled.
In short, take six quick breaths, then three deep breaths, and repeat this for three rounds. After you feel that your body and mind are naturally relaxed, you begin to imagine warm water slowly flowing through your entire body from top to bottom.
Note that it is applied slowly, not like taking a shower, but like taking a bath in a hot spring and slowly walking into the depth of the spring water, but from top to bottom.
During this process, your breathing is also slowly slowing down and evening out. The upper and lower teeth are interlocked, and the tongue is gently pressed against the roof of the mouth. Maintain this posture, and then forget this posture. Don’t worry too much about whether you have done it, just breathe.
Just slow down and relax.
Focus on your hearing, carefully listen to and distinguish the source and length of external sounds.
From far to near, start with the farthest sound, distinguish it, then ignore it and downplay it, distinguish the closer sound, and then continue to downplay it.
Just step by step, repeat this process, step by step.
At the end, all the sounds from the outside world have faded away, and the mind has gradually become empty. Then the sound of breathing and heartbeat in the body have faded away, and you have successfully entered tranquility.
I’ll close the door and withdraw first, you can practice slowly. Don’t be anxious, just take your time to find the feeling.”

Ye Ling gently guided Lu Xueqiang and the two of them, telling them the secret of entering a state of tranquility through breathing techniques. At the same time, Wang Ye also lay on the bed in his bedroom and began to enter tranquility.
At the beginning of entering tranquility, the mind is empty and the perception of time will be lost. It is not until entering the tranquil state that I suddenly realize that I have visualized a human-shaped shadow representing myself, and then I regain my consciousness slightly.
Wang Ye entered the quiet state with ease and began to sense the five internal organs. After seeing the five colors clear and the five qi balanced, he began to sense the six internal organs.
His mind sank into the human form, and after an unknown amount of time, he finally felt a little spiritual light appear in his abdomen.
Based on the official research report, Wang Ye realized that the little auras he sensed belonged to relatively sensitive nerve nodes in the abdominal neuron group.
The matchmaking of these nerve nodes is how the abdominal neuron group is induced to generate more synapses, thus gradually forming a neural grid.
At present, Wang Ye can only vaguely see the mesh-like aura in his abdomen. He estimates that when he can clearly sense the mesh-like aura, it means that the new central nervous system of the abdominal brain has been successfully born and will gradually become more complex.
.
Perhaps, by that time, living corpses can think with their ventral brains, and living people can also have an extra spare brain.
But rather than guessing about the future function of the ventral brain, Wang Ye is more concerned about the concept of the ventral brain itself at the moment.
He began to recall various miscellaneous books he had read.
abdomen……
Dantian...
Nerve nodes…
Meridian acupoints...
Although in the modern knowledge system, many ancient knowledge about the human body cannot be supported by anatomical evidence.
But since the empirical statements handed down are not completely invalid, it means that some empirical statements may just be temporarily unable to obtain intuitive verification.
For example, the concepts of meridians and acupuncture points, after Wang Ye studied biology, he always felt that they might be related to the nervous system.
When nerve signals are transmitted in the body, nerve pathways are formed. Descending nerve pathways are spread throughout the body and may be closely related to the so-called meridians, which is why it is said that the meridians are irreversible.
Acupuncture points are sensitive nerve nodes. Therefore, one acupuncture point can regulate and control the functions of a small body area.
These were his previous conjectures, and they were commonplace to him. But now, he suddenly discovered that there was another concept that could be called the ventral brain.
What does ventral brain mean?
Nascent Soul?
Probably not, the Nascent Soul in cultivation novels is too exaggerated, and there is no such thing as the Nascent Soul in Taoism. There is only the saying of "cultivate the soul and manifest the baby", which was changed by the novelist Mo to the so-called Nascent Soul.
Wait, cultivate the soul and manifest a baby?
Manifest…Baby…
Wang Ye quickly recalled the development and delivery process of human fetuses in biology.
The blastoderm gives birth to an embryo, which transforms into a human form; the organs are differentiated, with a large head showing the heart; male and female are divided into yin and yang, breathing moves the fetal body; all functions are complete, and the umbilical cord is cut during delivery.
Umbilical cord, placenta, that's it.
Wang Ye was so blessed that he suddenly realized in an instant that before the baby is delivered, the energy and nutrients required for development, and even the excretion function, need to pass through the connection between the umbilical cord and the placenta.
In other words, with the navel as the center, there is a complete system network around the baby, which can evenly distribute the nutrients absorbed from the mother's body through the umbilical cord to all parts of the body to nourish life.
After the umbilical cord is cut, the baby absorbs nutrients through food instead, and this system network takes a back seat and becomes an abdominal neuron group second only to the brain in number of neurons.
But to put it in a slightly more mysterious way, this system network, that is, the meridians corresponding to the abdominal nerve network, are exactly what Taoists call innate meridians.
Cultivating the soul and manifesting the baby refers to activating the neuron group in the abdomen, returning from the acquired to the innate.
That’s it, that’s it.
People in ancient times who had great luck would return to their innate nature by chance. But they couldn't explain why. They could only use various metaphors to summarize it as experience.
Each generation of sects always added private goods to it, and then used some code words and metaphors to encrypt it. In addition, novelists used various magical modifications, resulting in many experiences that have been passed down to modern times and sound very mysterious.
But to put it bluntly, it was so concise and clear that Wang Ye felt as if he was enlightened.
His heart moved, and he followed his instinct and felt a little spiritual light in his abdomen again.
Between the dots of spiritual light that were originally clearly sensed, subtle light like electric sparks flickered from time to time. But when the light like electric sparks somewhere became dense and frequent, it was like outlining a flickering line, connecting the original two acupuncture points.
The corresponding auras are connected.
Wang Ye suddenly realized that he could take the initiative to speed up the progress of the aura drawing and connecting lines in his abdomen.
So he did it without hesitation, putting his heart into it, guiding it, and regulating it.
Then, he woke up hungry.
Gan!
I’m so hungry!
Insufficient energy and insufficient energy. Two words that did not seem to have the same style of painting but probably had the same meaning appeared in Wang Ye's mind at the same time.
He didn't care about that, he quickly got up from the bed and pressed the switch on the wall beside the bed.
The light is not on.
Wang Ye was stunned for a moment and quickly looked up at the air conditioner in the corner of the room.
The air conditioner was also turned off and there was no sound of operation.
Hey, the electricity is also out.
Wang Ye understood the current situation instantly.
