Chapter 345 The Truth of Civilization
Qin Xiaochuan sighed and quickly continued reading. The book analyzed in detail the reasons for the rise and fall of Chinese civilization. From a medical perspective, the heart fire is like the sun, warming and descending to evaporate the kidney water, while the kidney water is like the sea, rising to nourish the heart fire. When the two communicate, it is called "water and fire in harmony," and a person will have a clear mind, abundant energy, and inner peace. However, when the heart fire is insufficient and the kidney water is cold and congealed, the true yang in the kidney (the fire of the gate of life, belonging to the ministerial fire) loses the guidance and restraint of the heart fire and begins to feel uneasy.
Under the continuous disturbance of the ministerial fire, the kidney water itself loses its ability to seal and retain because it is not warmed by the heart fire, resulting in the seminal gate being weak and the essence leaking out.
It is precisely for this reason that after the Song Dynasty, the heart region suffered from insufficient energy, and the heart fire could not warm and descend, leading to the rise of Neo-Confucianism and making Chinese civilization conservative. Although many inventions and cultural prosperity occurred in the south (the kidney region), they could not nourish the heart region and could only flow overseas, allowing Western civilization to develop unprecedentedly. After thousands of years of depletion of kidney essence, the essence of Chinese civilization has actually been almost completely depleted, with only a small amount remaining in the southern coastal areas. However, it is also facing the impact of the Western world. It can be said that Chinese civilization has reached a critical moment of life and death.
The book concludes by saying that the decline of Chinese civilization is actually the decline of the entire world civilization. If human civilization is to continue to prosper in the future, the revival of Chinese civilization is needed, and the key is to activate the energy of the Guanzhong Plain, the heartland of the world.
Seeing this, Qin Xiaochuan felt an indescribable sadness. Deep inside, there seemed to be an inexplicable expectation surging within him. He seemed eager to do something, yet he didn't know exactly what to do.
Qin Xiaochuan put down the book and paced back and forth in the meditation room for a long time before slowly calming his excited emotions. Then he picked up the book again and continued reading.
The book says that, apart from the Kunlun Mountains, the pyramids built by humans and the Mingtang that appeared starting in the Zhou Dynasty were actually antenna systems built to simulate the divine consciousness system. The rulers could listen to the will of heaven here and then follow the will of heaven and the people.
Upon seeing this, Qin Xiaochuan suddenly recalled the temple he had seen in Kunlun Ruins, which was also pyramid-shaped. Could it be that the celestial information could only be read from the celestial stele?
Based on this theory, Qin Xiaochuan can boldly speculate that there is also a system similar to divine consciousness in the Witch Ring, but how does this divine consciousness system increase the level of spiritual power within the Witch Ring?
The reason why people can improve their spiritual power level after level 6 is mainly through enlightenment. Could it be that after the cause and effect of the past illusion was reversed, Wu Jie comprehended something?
"That's not impossible," Qin Xiaochuan pondered. According to the butterfly effect, although they only changed the fate of Zhou Bin's parents, they could have a significant impact on the causal operation of the entire world. In this case, the insights gained would indeed be substantial.
Qin Xiaochuan picked up the witch ring and examined it closely. He thought to himself that the witch ring was indeed a sacred object of the Blood Witch Clan, containing such profound secrets. In any case, the increase in spiritual power within the witch ring would be of great benefit to him. With the level 9 spiritual power of the witch ring, his strength would have increased by a significant margin.
Qin Xiaochuan flipped through the book again, but found no further discussion on the improvement of spiritual power levels. His understanding of the Witch's Ring could only go so far.
Qin Xiaochuan turned to the page with Xiao Yan's annotations: "He has always been there waiting for us. Only love and faith can connect us to Him. We must become one with Him. Perhaps only the purest love can open this channel."
Only love can change fate; this is probably the ultimate secret of this world, and ironically, no one has discovered it yet.
Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but recall how, in the past illusion, Han Kexin had to sacrifice her own life to change the inevitable fate of Zhou's parents. Suddenly, he had a general understanding of this statement.
When Guo Shiyi returned after dropping Han Kexin off, Qin Xiaochuan recounted his discoveries in the book and his understanding of Xiao Yan's annotations. Guo Shiyi pondered for a long time upon hearing this.
Seeing her lost in thought, Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but tease her, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly acting silly?"
Looking at Qin Xiaochuan's face, Guo Shiyi said earnestly, "Xiaochuan, from now on, just do what you should do. No matter what you do, I will always be by your side."
"Why are you suddenly saying such serious things?" Qin Xiaochuan flicked her nose.
Guo Shiyi sighed and said, "To be honest, for so long, I've actually been quite bothered by the idea of you or me becoming a blood witch, so I've often felt conflicted and uneasy. But now I understand that we don't need to care too much about the outcome. No matter what, it's our destiny to accept. So why not face it with a positive attitude? This world is just a reflection of our own hearts. Our focus shouldn't be on how the world should be, but on how we make our own intentions. So no matter what you do or what you become in the future, I will be with you. This is my true feeling."
Hearing Guo Shiyi's words, Qin Xiaochuan was deeply moved. He couldn't help but hold Guo Shiyi's hand and said, "Yes, me too. No matter what, I want to be with you forever." As he spoke, he couldn't help but hug Guo Shiyi tightly.
After a while, the two separated and went to the training platform to practice. When their palms touched and their spiritual energy circulated, Guo Shiyi suddenly felt a burst of spiritual light in her mind, which then expanded and eventually became a boundless universe. This universe was like a living organism, and the spiritual energy contained in the universe seemed to become clearly visible. It felt like some kind of mysterious passage had been opened.
"This is..." Guo Shiyi couldn't help but exclaim.
"What's wrong?" Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but ask.
Guo Shiyi shared her feelings, and Qin Xiaochuan was overjoyed, because he was very familiar with this feeling. He immediately said, "Congratulations, Miss Guo, this means you have also opened your heart seal."
"Heart Imprint?" Guo Shiyi was very surprised. She had previously pestered Guo Tianming to pass on the Heart Imprint to her, but failed. Opening the Heart Imprint was a once-in-a-million event, but she did not expect it to be opened here today. This made her both surprised and confused.
Qin Xiaochuan explained the function of the Heart Seal to her in detail, and Guo Shiyi couldn't help but ask in confusion, "But why did I suddenly activate the Heart Seal?"
Qin Xiaochuan pondered for a while, resting his chin on his hand, before saying, "I think it's because you unlocked your own heart. In fact, everyone can unlock their heart, but most people are trapped by worldly shackles or inner obstacles, which is why they can't unlock it. Once you break through these shackles and obstacles, unlocking your heart will be a natural process."
Hearing Qin Xiaochuan's words, Guo Shiyi nodded, clearly agreeing with his assessment. She then excitedly exclaimed, "Let me see just how powerful this Heart Imprint really is, hehe."
