The eight extra meridians are divided into Du, Ren, Chong, Dai, Yangwei, Yinwei, Yinqiao and Yangqiao.
It is essentially different from the Twelve Canons.
The twelve meridians in the body can be regarded as special existences that connect the internal organs, limbs, trunk, head and other body parts.
But for the eight extraordinary meridians.
They are not subordinate to the five internal organs, nor do they have any coordination relationship with each other, both internally and externally.
The five internal organs are the masters of one body, the six internal organs guard the five internal organs, and the meridians are the tunnels of the internal organs, so that it can be said that there is action and body.
Essence and spirit are like water that can float or capsize a boat.
"The circulation of the eight extraordinary meridians is intricately intertwined among the twelve meridians in the body."
"And they intersect with the twelve meridians in many areas of the human body. Therefore, the eight extraordinary meridians have the function of containing the qi and blood of the twelve meridians and regulating the rise and decline of the twelve meridians."
Si Yuan carefully looked inside himself with his spiritual thoughts, and at the same time reflected on and reviewed the memory information related to the eight extraordinary meridians and the twelve main meridians.
"When the life energy and blood in the twelve main meridians and the five internal organs become particularly strong, the eight extra meridians can accumulate on their own."
"And when the human body's functional activities require it, the eight extraordinary meridians can penetrate and supply it."
"The twelve main meridians are like ditches. The eight extraordinary meridians are like lakes."
Use another way to understand it.
That is to regard life qi and blood as a mighty river, and the river bed and canals are the twelve main meridians.
When floods occur, that is, when life energy and blood are excessively strong, the eight extraordinary meridians act as dams to intercept floods and relieve reservoirs that accumulate excess river water.
And when drought becomes scarce.
The eight extraordinary meridians, like reservoirs and dams, can open up the life energy and blood accumulated inside, and in turn nourish and restore the water volume of the entire river.
besides.
The eight extraordinary meridians also have a special connection function between the twelve regular meridians.
Different meridians with similar locations and similar functions are connected with each other to achieve the effect of unifying the Qi and blood of the relevant meridians and coordinating yin and yang.
The Du Vein is connected with the Six Yang Meridians and is called the "Sea of Yang Veins".
It has the function of regulating the yang meridian of the whole body.
The Ren meridian is connected with the six yin meridians and is called the "sea of yin meridians". It has the function of regulating the qi of all yin meridians throughout the body.
Chong meridians are connected with the Ren and Du meridians, Foot Yangming, Foot Shaoyin and other meridians. It is called the "sea of the twelve meridians" and the "blood sea".
Its function has the effect of containing the qi and blood of the twelve regular meridians.
As for the belt pulse, it binds and connects the various foot meridians that run along the torso of the body.
The Yin-dimensional meridians and Yang-dimensional meridians are connected to the Yin and Yang meridians respectively, and govern the exterior and interior of the body respectively.
The Yin Qiao pulse and the Yang Qiao pulse control Yang movements and Yin Jing, and jointly control lower limb movements and sleep.
"Among the eight extraordinary meridians, except for the Ren meridian and the Du meridian, they have their own independent acupoints."
"The acupoints of the other six meridians are all attached to the twelve main meridians, the Ren meridian, and the Du meridian."
"It is precisely because of this that the two extraordinary meridians, the Ren meridian and the Du meridian, play the role of connecting the two bridges between heaven and earth to the outside world."
"Connect the practitioner's ego with the outside world and the great world, thereby borrowing the various powers of the great world and turning them into one's own use and nourishing one's body."
Si Yuan sensed himself and carefully explored.
At the same time, carefully consider where you should start to open up the eight extraordinary meridians.
"The two meridians of Ren and Du are now unnecessary to think about and can be eliminated."
"That's not the level of inner cultivation that I can access now."
"As for the remaining six meridians, Chong Mai, Dai Mai, Yin Wei Mai, Yang Wei Mai, Yin Qiao Mai and Yang Qiao Mai, we can start to consider them."
He looks at himself and uses this as a benchmark.
Conduct an analysis of the options currently best suited to enhance your own goals.
"I am currently under the influence of external energy. The density of my flesh, muscles, bone marrow, skin membrane, etc. is far higher than that of ordinary people. This has resulted in a weight that is far higher than that of ordinary people."
"Although his physical fitness is strong, his heavy weight also makes speed a weakness."
"Then... this time we will consider increasing the speed."
Have a clear direction to improve yourself.
With this, Si Yuan once again explored his own eight extraordinary meridians, and soon had a clear goal.
"The Chong Mai runs from the head to the feet and runs through the whole body."
"If it is opened up, it can become the main point of Qi and blood throughout the body, and can independently regulate the Qi and blood of the twelve meridians."
"It can be ruled out temporarily."
"The Daidai pulse starts from Ji Xiang, goes diagonally downward to the Daidai point, and goes around the body."
"Like a belt wrapped around the body, it can restrain all the meridians running along the body."
"The impact will not be big, and it can be opened later."
"As for the Yin-dimensional pulse and the Yang-dimensional pulse, their functions are to 'defend the Yin and the Yang' respectively. They play a certain supporting role, but they do not strongly increase combat effectiveness."
"It can also be opened later, which is not the best option."
"The remaining eight extraordinary meridians are the Yin Qiao meridians and the Yang Qiao meridians. Their functions can make limb movements light and flexible, and the body posture strong."
"With my current weight of only over 600 kilograms, as long as my speed increases, I can produce huge lethality."
Some thought.
Si Yuan finally decided to start practicing from the Yin Qiao channel.
He closed his eyes, gathered his mind, calmed down, and carefully used his mind to explore the Yin Qiao Meridian and the acupoints connected to the Yin Qiao Meridian.
"Many important acupuncture points are related to life safety."
"You must not try to get through quickly, so that you may fall into a life and death crisis at any time. If you are not careful, your body and soul will be destroyed."
"I don't want to just report to the underworld again casually."
Think quietly for a moment.
Si Yuan used his own spiritual thoughts of the Purple Mansion in the upper Dantian to attach to the part where the Yin Qiao channel is connected to the foot and Taiyang meridian, artificially adding a layer of confinement insurance.
Then, he dedicated some of his mind and energy.
Manipulate the internal force of Xuan Bing inside the Dantian, follow the connection between the internal force cyclone and the twelve main meridians, and naturally circulate into the foot meridian.
Then the internal force of the black ice is gathered into a flexible ice needle shape, branching out into tributaries and reversing the flow direction.
Make it go in the direction of Yin Qiao channel.
"Chichichichi...!"
The cold black ice internal force penetrates bit by bit and opens up the Yin Qiao meridians.
Open it up at the same time and warm it up at the same time.
In Si Yuan's spiritual perception, those meridians that had been initially warmed began to transform from illusion to reality, somewhere between half virtual and half real.
It has already been connected and connected to form the Twelve Meridians of the Lesser Zhoutian Cycle, which has now been completely materialized.
It becomes a special life structure that actually exists in the body.
"The so-called damage to the meridians means that the energy meridians that have been substantialized are re-created, causing some parts to become reversely substantial."
"The transformation of meridians from deficiency to excess is the result of opening up and warming them up."
"Only in this way can the life energy in the body be mobilized and controlled as desired."
