Chapter 160: The Soul of Man
The man in black suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a different charm in his every move and gesture, but his voice was somewhat helpless: "Senior sister, I am already familiar with the practice methods of the Qi transformation stage. I also understand the meaning of the paragraph in the Tao Te Ching. I don't know why every time I meditate, my whole body energy cannot circulate smoothly. I don't know where the problem is."
Yin Lingzhi looked at him, her eyes sparkling with light, and the corners of her mouth carrying a smile. The ordinary man she had chosen at the beginning, under her attention, gradually washed away the worldly dust on his body, demonstrating his unparalleled insight and outstanding temperament in the world.
Yin Lingzhi considered for a moment and said slowly, "Do you know where the human soul is?"
Li Changsheng replied, "The soul is in the human brain, right?"
Yin Lingzhi shook her head and said, "No! The soul is not in the brain or the heart, it is in the middle of everyone's waist."
Li Changsheng remembered a medical book he read in college, which said that after a pregnant woman's brain died, she was injected with nutrient solution and lived for several months until giving birth to a baby. Some patients have heart problems, and after removing the heart and replacing it with a stainless steel pump, they also lived for many years. It can be seen that the human soul is not in the brain and heart. Because without a soul, people will immediately die.

Yin Lingzhi continued, "The soul that we Taoists believe in is also called vitality. The essence of Taoist martial arts is to make vitality abundant and the soul strong.The first basic skill you learn is to focus your attention on the inside of the belly button, as that area is the power source of the five internal organs. Gathering two types of energy from the universe at the navel can make the body stronger and enhance the function of your heart and lungs far beyond that of ordinary people. When your body is strong enough, we need to focus on your soul and start making it stronger. When your energy is sufficient in your lower back, you can proceed to the next stage of learning, combining your soul and brain consciousness to form a person like you. This person is very small, the size of a fist, located inside the lower back, and we call it a baby with vitality. After you have a baby of vitality, you can achieve eternal life. However, immortality is only the initial stage of becoming a deity."
Yin Lingzhi saw that Li Changsheng had understood and asked him, "Do you know Xuantong?"
Li Changsheng said that there is a saying in the Tao Te Ching that the way to obtain true wisdom is not by attending gatherings and giving speeches everywhere, but by staying in a quiet cabin, avoiding noisy sounds, avoiding colorful temptations, and closing down various desires in the heart.Eliminate the desire for competitiveness and prevent fame and fortune from disturbing inner peace. Let the heart of glory extinguish. Only by achieving the above can one feel the existence of the Tao, which is called Xuantong.
Yin Lingzhi nodded and said, "Since you understand this truth, then come with me." She stood up, pushed open the door, and walked out.
Li Changsheng followed Yin Lingzhi to the bedroom of Taoist Wu Wei. The back wall of the bedroom was against a mountain, and she pushed open the medicine cabinet leaning against the back wall. A cave appeared in front of Li Changsheng. He saw bookshelves on both sides of the cave, with bamboo slips, wired books, and scriptures written on sheepskin.
