Shocking Secrets of the Celestial Realm

Chapter 174 The White Dew Grows Heavier

In the vast universe, the sun is like a radiant ruler, and the earth is like a dazzling blue pearl, revolving around the sun along its unchanging orbit. When the sun's ecliptic longitude reaches precisely 165 degrees, White Dew, this seasonal messenger carrying the tranquility and mysterious power of autumn, quietly descends upon the world with light steps.

Lin Qing, Ye Lan, Qin Feng, and Jasmine, four practitioners devoted to exploring the mysteries of nature and life, gathered at the edge of an open meadow. A gentle breeze stirred, causing the fine tips of the grass to sway softly, and dewdrops shimmered in the morning light, like scattered diamonds on the earth. In the distance, mountains appeared and disappeared in the misty morning fog, resembling a dreamlike ink painting, exuding a tranquil and profound aura.

Lin Qing took a deep breath of the air, which carried a slight coolness and the fresh scent of grass. He spoke slowly, his voice deep and powerful, as if coming from the depths of the earth: "The White Dew has arrived. The sun's ecliptic longitude is 165 degrees. Yin energy is gradually increasing, and dew is condensing. This is a crucial juncture in the alternation of Yin and Yang in nature. Our bodies, as a subtle microcosm of nature, are also conforming to this powerful natural force, with Yang energy receding and Yin energy gradually increasing." His words were filled with awe and reverence for the laws of nature.

Ye Lan gently stroked the ancient jade flute in her hand. The patterns on the flute seemed to be engraved with the marks of time and the secrets of nature. She nodded slightly, her eyes sparkling with wisdom, like stars twinkling in the night sky, and said in a clear and melodious voice, "Indeed. In this unique season, the blood and qi of the pericardium meridian in the human body are at their most vigorous. The pericardium meridian is like an indestructible guardian of the heart, protecting it from evil and steadfastly guarding the core of the human body—the heart—ensuring the smooth and orderly rhythm of life."

Qin Feng crossed his arms, slowly closed his eyes, and activated his mysterious and unique spatial perception ability. His brow furrowed slightly as he intently focused on capturing the energy fluctuations hidden between heaven and earth, imperceptible to ordinary people. A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze gleaming with a mixture of excitement and astonishment. He exclaimed impatiently, "This is amazing! I can clearly sense that the Yin energy in the space is continuously and significantly increasing. This change, like ripples, directly and profoundly affects the human body's magnetic field. We must pay close attention and actively explore methods to nourish the Yang energy within our bodies to maintain the Yin-Yang balance." His words were filled with a strong curiosity and desire to explore the unknown world.

Jasmine sat quietly to the side, eyes closed, fully immersing herself in her microscopic energy perception. Her breathing was steady and deep, as if she had merged with the surrounding natural environment, becoming a part of nature itself. After a long while, she slowly opened her eyes, which shimmered with a mysterious and captivating light, and softly said, "Deep into the microscopic world of cells, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the antioxidants within the cells are increasing dramatically. This is undoubtedly an exquisite self-protective mechanism activated by the body, designed to resist the invasion and damage of yin energy. These tiny cells are like incredibly precise miniature factories, containing such astonishing self-regulating abilities; it is truly a masterpiece of nature." Her voice was soft yet full of power, as if reciting a mysterious poem of the microscopic world.

In a nearby village, the villagers were suffering from various health problems due to the gradually cooling autumn air. Many felt anxious and restless, as if an invisible hand was stirring within them, preventing them from finding peace. Others were plagued by insomnia, lying in bed at night with chaotic thoughts, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, resulting in lethargy and a general sense of exhaustion the next day. An atmosphere of anxiety and oppression permeated the entire village.

After learning about the villagers' situation, Lin Qing and the others decided without hesitation to go to the village immediately and use their knowledge and unique abilities to help the villagers get out of their predicament.

As they entered the village and saw the villagers' exhausted faces, their hearts were filled with worry and concern. Lin Qing looked at the villagers with unwavering eyes and said earnestly, "There's no need to worry. We will do our best to help alleviate your discomfort. During the White Dew season, Yin energy gradually increases, while the body's Yang energy is relatively insufficient. This imbalance of Yin and Yang can easily trigger various uncomfortable symptoms. We can utilize the unique energy of the White Dew season, combined with the millennia-old wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine, to carefully nourish your bodies." Hearing Lin Qing's words, the villagers' eyes lit up with hope, and they all gathered around him.

Jasmine stepped forward with a warm smile and gently said to the villagers, “In terms of diet, you might as well eat more foods that nourish the heart and calm the mind. For example, longan, which is like a sweet treasure bestowed upon us by nature, is rich in glucose, protein and other nutrients, and has excellent effects in nourishing the heart and spleen, nourishing blood and calming the mind. Eating a few longans every day can not only replenish the body with the necessary energy, but also effectively relieve symptoms such as palpitations and insomnia. Another example is lotus seeds, which are as white as jade. They can not only nourish the heart and calm the mind, but also benefit the kidneys and astringe essence. Cooking lotus seeds into porridge and eating it before bed is like injecting a calming medicine into the mind, which helps to improve sleep quality. In addition, jujube seeds are also a rare and excellent product for nourishing the heart and calming the mind. They can calm the mind, reduce sweating and promote body fluid production. Drinking water infused with jujube seeds has a significant effect on relieving restlessness, insomnia and dreaminess.” The villagers listened attentively, nodding from time to time, and kept these dietary suggestions in mind.

To more effectively help the villagers recuperate, Lin Qing decided to teach them a set of "White Dew Tranquilizing Exercises" specially tailored for the White Dew season. Standing in the village's open space, he said in a loud voice, "Now, I will teach you a set of 'White Dew Tranquilizing Exercises.' This set of exercises integrates unique movements such as meditation and acupressure, which can precisely nourish our pericardium meridian and achieve a wonderful effect of calming the mind and soothing the nerves. Follow along with me, don't rush, and focus on feeling every movement and every breath."

Lin Qing slowly sat down, elegantly crossing his legs, placing his hands naturally on his knees, gently closing his eyes, and entering a deep meditative state. His breathing was steady and rhythmic, seemingly resonating with the surrounding natural environment. “Everyone, calm your minds, close your eyes, and let go of all distractions. Imagine yourself in a tranquil and vast forest, sunlight filtering through the dense foliage, casting dappled shadows, warm and soft. A gentle breeze carries the fragrance of flowers and the fresh scent of trees. Feel the immense power of nature, allowing your body and mind to completely relax in this tranquility, becoming one with nature.” Lin Qing demonstrated while patiently explaining, each word seemingly possessing a soothing magic. The villagers followed suit, finding comfortable spots to sit, closing their eyes, and following Lin Qing's guidance, slowly entering a meditative state. For a moment, a peaceful and serene atmosphere filled the village, as if time itself had stood still, with only the even and deep breathing echoing in the air.

Then, Lin Qing slowly opened his eyes, extended his right index finger, and gently pressed the Neiguan acupoint on the inside of his wrist. The Neiguan acupoint is an important point on the pericardium meridian, located two inches above the wrist crease, between the palmaris longus tendon and the flexor carpi radialis tendon. "Everyone, carefully locate the Neiguan acupoint on your wrists and gently press it with your finger. The pressure should be moderate, just enough to feel a slight soreness. Pressing the Neiguan acupoint can regulate the flow of Qi and blood in the pericardium meridian, like injecting powerful energy into the heart's protective team, playing a crucial role in calming the mind and soothing the nerves," Lin Qing explained. Following his instructions, the villagers earnestly pressed the Neiguan acupoint, their expressions gradually becoming focused and resolute, as if performing a sacred ritual.

After performing the acupressure, Lin Qing began guiding the villagers in deep breathing. He instructed them to close their eyes, slowly inhale, feeling their abdomen rise as if absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth; then slowly exhale, their lower abdomen contracting as if expelling stale air. "When you breathe deeply," Lin Qing said, "pay attention to every subtle change in your body, making your breathing even, deep, and slow. Through deep breathing, we can regulate our body's energy, stimulate its self-healing potential, and enhance our immunity." The villagers followed his rhythm, slowly practicing deep breathing, as if engaging in a silent and profound dialogue with the White Dew solar term.

Ye Lan played her jade flute beside them, its melodious notes flowing like a clear spring through every corner of the village, adding tranquility and peace to the focused atmosphere. The flute music swirled and echoed in the air, as if encouraging the villagers and telling tales of the beauty and mystery of nature. Accompanied by the flute music, the villagers moved more fluidly and naturally, their bodies and minds experiencing unprecedented relaxation, as if all their worries and fatigue had been swept away by the beautiful sound of the flute.

Qin Feng activated his spatial perception ability, intently observing the energy changes around the villagers' bodies. He seemed to possess eyes that could see the mysteries of the universe, carefully examining the energy field around each villager. He was delighted to discover that as the villagers performed the "White Dew Tranquility Exercise," the previously chaotic energy fields around their bodies gradually became stable and orderly. The chaotic energy flows, under the miraculous effects of meditation and acupressure, began to return to normal, resonating with the energy of the white dew in the world, forming a harmonious and beautiful resonance. "You've all done an excellent job. Through this exercise, your bodies are perfectly merging with the energy of nature, and the discomfort you experience will gradually lessen. Continue to persevere, and you will definitely feel significant changes in your bodies, regaining that long-lost health and vitality," Qin Feng encouraged the villagers. His words were like warm sunshine, illuminating their path to health.

Jasmine activated her microscopic energy perception, deeply observing the changes within the villagers' cells. She felt as if she were in a microscopic living universe, witnessing with delight how the mitochondria damaged by the autumn chill gradually regained their vitality during the "White Dew Peaceful Exercise." The mitochondria, the cell's energy factories, began to operate efficiently again, continuously providing ample energy to the cells, allowing them to radiate vitality. Cellular energy metabolism also became more stable and orderly, as if they had rediscovered their rhythm of life, brimming with energy and hope. "Keep going, everyone! The cells in your bodies are becoming healthier and stronger, which will greatly help alleviate your discomfort. As long as you persevere, you will definitely be able to overcome the troubles brought by the autumn chill and embrace a healthy and beautiful life," Jasmine said, her tone full of encouragement and confidence, as if infusing the villagers with a powerful spiritual force.

In the twelve meridian system of the human body, the pericardium meridian and the triple burner meridian are internally and externally related, interdependent and working together to maintain the normal physiological functions of the body. The pericardium meridian protects the heart, while the triple burner meridian is a key channel for the body's fluid metabolism and qi circulation, like an internal transportation hub, ensuring the smooth operation of life activities. During the special season of White Dew, the pericardium meridian is full of qi and blood, and the triple burner meridian also plays a crucial role. Lin Qing explained to the villagers in detail: "Everyone must pay attention to the fact that while carefully nourishing the pericardium meridian, you should also closely monitor the health of the triple burner meridian. Keeping the triple burner meridian unobstructed is like keeping city traffic orderly; it helps regulate the body's fluid metabolism and qi circulation. We can promote the flow of qi and blood in the triple burner meridian through moderate exercise and a reasonable diet. For example, engage in more light and enjoyable aerobic exercises, such as walking or Tai Chi, to get your body moving and naturally promote the smooth flow of qi and blood. In terms of diet, eat more light and easily digestible foods, such as fresh vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, and avoid spicy, greasy, and highly stimulating foods to prevent aggravating the condition." The burden on the Triple Energizer Meridian. At the same time, we can further promote the flow of Qi and blood in the Triple Energizer Meridian by massaging acupoints on the meridian, such as Guanchong and Yemen. Guanchong is located on the ulnar side of the distal phalanx of the ring finger, 0.1 cun from the nail corner. Gently pressing Guanchong can clear heat, open the orifices, soothe the throat and tongue, and invigorate blood circulation. Yemen is located on the back of the hand, between the 4th and 5th fingers, at the junction of the red and white flesh behind the web of the fingers. Massaging Yemen can clear the Triple Energizer, clear heat, and invigorate the meridians. As he spoke, Lin Qing personally demonstrated to the villagers how to accurately massage these acupoints. His fingers gently pressed on the acupoints with just the right amount of pressure, as if engaging in an intimate and gentle dialogue with the body's meridians.

As time went by, under the careful guidance of Lin Qing and others, the villagers persevered in practicing the "White Dew Peace of Mind Exercise" and strictly followed the dietary recommendations. Their health gradually improved, and symptoms such as palpitations and insomnia lessened. The faces that had once been shrouded in fatigue and anxiety once again radiated bright smiles—smiles of health and hope. The villagers were filled with gratitude towards Lin Qing and the others, a gratitude that spread throughout the village like a warm spring breeze.

An elderly man grasped Lin Qing's hand tightly, his voice trembling slightly with emotion: "Thanks to you all, my esteemed guests. Without you, we truly don't know how we would have survived this chilly autumn season. The methods you taught us are like guiding lights in the darkness, so incredibly effective." Lin Qing smiled and replied: "This is due to our collective effort. Everyone's perseverance and diligence are key to these methods working. As long as we follow nature and its laws, we can draw boundless strength from nature, maintain good health, and live in harmony with it."

After resolving the villagers' problems, Lin Qing and the others returned to the edge of the meadow. They sat together, sharing their experiences and insights from the day.

Gazing at the sky dyed orange-red by the setting sun, Lin Qing said with deep emotion, "White Dew has allowed us to witness the wondrous process of yin and yang transformation in nature, and has also given us a deeper understanding of the close and inseparable relationship between the human body and nature. Our journey of exploration is just like this vast and boundless universe, without end. Each in-depth investigation into the relationship between the solar terms and the human body has given us more awe for nature and more appreciation for life. We must continue to move forward steadfastly, constantly exploring and uncovering more mysteries of nature and life." His eyes were filled with determination and perseverance, as if declaring to the universe their unwavering determination to explore.

Ye Lan gently played her jade flute, the melodious sound drifting across the grass, as if telling the story of the day, and expressing their love for nature and reverence for life. "Seeing the changes in the villagers today, I deeply felt the meaning and value of our exploration of nature's mysteries. Being able to help them escape their predicament makes all our efforts incredibly worthwhile. Moreover, through this experience, I've gained a new understanding of the resonance between flute music and human energy. Perhaps I can create health-preserving melodies that better suit different seasons, using music to safeguard people's health." Ye Lan's eyes were filled with warmth and satisfaction, while also sparkling with anticipation for future exploration, as if in her eyes, the future was full of infinite possibilities.

Qin Feng fell into deep thought, and after a moment said, "Through today's perception and application of the White Dew energy, I have gained a deeper understanding of the relationship between spatial energy and the human body's meridians and magnetic fields. I discovered that when our bodies merge with the energy of nature, our perception is greatly enhanced. Perhaps, we can use this method to explore the mysteries of the universe more deeply and unravel those enigmas hidden in the depths of space. There are still many unknown areas waiting for us to explore, and perhaps we can find the key to a breakthrough and open a door to a completely new world." His eyes gleamed with excitement, as if he could already see the vast prospects of future exploration, and his heart was filled with longing and anticipation for the unknown world.

Jasmine excitedly said, "While observing the changes in the villagers' cells, I discovered some entirely new clues about the effects of White Dew energy at the cellular level. This is extremely important for our research into the mysteries of the human body, as well as the treatment and prevention of diseases. I want to delve deeper into this research; perhaps I can achieve even greater breakthroughs and make even more outstanding contributions to human health. For example, based on these discoveries, we can develop more precise and effective health preservation methods and treatments, allowing people to maintain their health and balance throughout different solar terms and fully enjoy the beauty of life."
