Chapter 166: Qi Field
Putting down his mobile phone, the boy sighed, not because of anything else, but purely out of heartache.
This was like when his calls to heaven went unanswered and his pleas to earth fell on deaf ears. When a person is trapped by something, their heart, alas, is not something others can truly understand.
Just as the boy was lamenting the matter of this younger brother.
Another message came from a buddy.
“Big Brother, when did you start cultivating Qi?”
“I started paying attention in my teens.”
“Why?”
“Because I saw it. I saw a really awesome person, so terrifyingly strong. Back then, I was studying horticulture and building gardens for people. My godfather and the main client became buddies. One time, we were drinking in the courtyard, and there were two dogs in the yard. Although the dogs weren’t big, they were very fierce. Even when we fed them, they were sometimes aggressive towards us. But this person took a piece of meat with chopsticks, walked up to the dog, and the dog sat on the ground with its head down, tail tucked, trembling. This person put the meat near the dog’s mouth, but the dog didn’t dare to eat it until it was thrown on the ground. I tried it too, and the dog was still jumping around, barking, but as soon as that person got close, it immediately sat down on the ground, not daring to move.”
“That fierce?”
“Yes, if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed in the existence of Qi fields. But I saw it with my own eyes, and that dog was one we raised ourselves. It was truly fierce~! At that time, I was super envious, so from then on, I believed that Qi fields existed in people.”
“Big Brother, if you hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have believed such a thing.”
“I understand. If I hadn’t seen it myself, I wouldn’t have believed it either. That person was just smiling the whole time, not angry at all, happily and cheerfully as if what was in front of him wasn’t a dog at all, but a very, very obedient child, someone who couldn’t even muster the slightest bit of resistance. Oh my god, that was an indescribable feeling, but it was precisely because I met such a person that I started paying attention to Qi fields. Er Bai, whoever babbles is a grandson, it’s set in stone. But he himself said that some dogs were not well-behaved around him. He had a dog he raised, and because someone else was feeding it, it almost bit him once.”
“What about you now, Big Brother? Can you emit this kind of Qi field like that person?”
“It’s hard to say, because most of the time I emit a harmonious Qi. When I use other Qi for attack, it’s also Yin Qi and Killing Qi, or combining those three with Ruffian Qi to form Overbearing Qi.
And he often emits the Qi of a superior. Let me put it this way, within a large region, this person is one of the top few individuals in that area.”
“Then, Big Brother, what do you do when you encounter such a person?”
“Me? What do I do?”
“I mean, if you encounter an opponent like that, do you have any methods?”
“Hehehe, guess?”
“Brother, just tell me, I’m so curious.”
“I have methods, but I can’t say them. If I say them, I’ll easily be sealed.”
“Sorcery?”
“Mystic Arts.”
“What are Mystic Arts?”
“Hehe, Mystic Arts are just things I made up. Don’t ask anymore, okay? Don’t take my novels as serious matters. If you’re reading a novel, just read the novel. Why keep asking so many questions? Why are you so persistent about fantasy novels? You should believe in science~! Don’t mess with all sorts of weird things. Besides, even if you ask me, I won’t tell you. You should first cultivate your own gains. I’m not teaching this.”
“Brother, Big Brother, you are my real brother. Just teach me, I really want to learn that kind of thing that’s like sorcery. I’ve wanted to learn since I was little.”
“Get lost! Stop talking. I don’t know how, and I can’t teach you. You’re just idle. You haven’t even broken through your ego, and you want to learn some crooked ways. The righteous path in the mortal world is through hardship. Learn what you should learn, and don’t randomly learn what you shouldn’t. It won’t do you any good and will only bring disaster.”
“Okay, okay, Brother, don’t be angry. I won’t ask anymore. I’ll cultivate my heart first.”
……
The boy was very troubled by such children. Could he casually teach them anything? An unstable Dao Heart could bring disaster to the nation and the people, and what if they caused trouble?
When Wukong descended the mountain back then, the Old Ancestor Bodhi also specifically warned him not to claim to be his disciple if he caused trouble outside.
How could the boy possibly teach such things? He would teach Benevolent Law, but he would absolutely never teach Malevolent Law to anyone. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust others; it was that he didn’t trust human nature.
Damn it, not to mention anything else, even learning a true technique to attract peach blossoms would result in a bunch of women liking him. Would that be good? What kind of decent man could withstand a crowd of girls flocking around him? If he didn’t go astray, he’d be a ghost. Let alone other things.
If there is Benevolent Law, there must also be Malevolent Law, just like the Tai Chi Symbol. Does this even require thought?
This is also the capital for the boy’s arrogance. Let’s just say, which strong person isn’t arrogant? Which strong person doesn’t have their own methods? It’s just that they don’t show them easily. The more powerful a person is, the more humble and low-key they appear.
Have you ever seen a real “Big Brother” showing off and causing trouble all day? Aren’t they all always acting harmless? Does that mean they have no methods? A true Big Brother wouldn’t shout about fighting and killing like in the movies, nor would they bully anyone; instead, they would be very reserved, appearing like a Maitreya Buddha on the outside.
In the midst of pleasantries, they can harm people intangibly. This is called outwardly Confucian and inwardly Legalist, or Buddha Heart Ghost Hand, it’s all the same meaning.
Furthermore, for someone like the boy, without any means, could he simplify some cultivation methods to the point of making it seem like child’s play? You could figure that out with your butt~! Damn~! Hahaha.
……
“Do you have any bread left? Give me some, I’m all out.”
His thoughts returned to the present. The Wang Fei called out to the boy, asking for bread. The boy laughed, “It’s all yours. I was just talking with two younger brothers and didn’t feed them much, hahaha.”
The Wang Fei rolled her eyes and said, “Why do you always tell those stories to people for free? You don’t owe anyone anything. Others charge money, but you just keep talking without end. Why? Can’t you charge a fee like others? Even if it’s a thousand per person.”
Hearing this, the boy frowned. “How many times have I told you? Others are others, and I am me. If I were doing it for money, I wouldn’t be writing books; I could make money doing anything else. I’m doing this to spread the Dao and repay my master’s kindness. I also can’t bear to see others go astray like I did or like Zhuan Shen did. If you mention this to me again, then we’re done! We can discuss anything else, but not this.”
Seeing the boy getting angry, the Wang Fei quickly comforted him, “Alright, alright, I was just saying that. I didn’t say you shouldn’t do it. I just saw all those people making money doing this, and you’re just talking foolishly. Isn’t this for your own good?”
The boy sighed. “Sigh… I know you mean well, but we can talk about anything else, just not this. If the rich can hear and learn, what about those who don’t have much money? Do they just not matter? I know everyone has their own fate, but I just can’t accept it, and I’m not happy. Why can’t those without much money cultivate? Why is no one teaching them? I’m going to do the opposite. I don’t care if they have money or not. As long as they are willing to learn, want to listen, and their original nature isn’t bad, I’ll teach them. Whoever stops me, I’ll get angry with them. Even my biological father wouldn’t be able to stop me.”
“Alright, alright, I won’t say anything else, okay? Do whatever you want, I won’t interfere anymore, I won’t interfere with anything from now on. Don’t be angry with me.”
“I’m not angry, and it’s not at you. I’m telling the truth. Even my biological father couldn’t stop me on this matter.”
“Okay, okay, I understand. Let’s go home. There are too many mosquitoes; I’ve got several bites on my arm.”
