Chapter 667 - Supernatural Beasts Leviathan and Roc Are Qi?! (2/2)
“Over 2300 years ago, there was a master named Zhuangzi in Huaxia who wrote an article called Being Free and Unfettered. He wrote, “In the northern ocean there is a fish, called the leviathan and its size measured in li is unknown. This fish changes into a bird called the roc, whose back is so wide that no one knows how many thousand li in width it covers. When the bird rouses itself and flies, its wings are like clouds, hanging over the sky. When it moves in the sea, it is preparing to fly to the southern ocean, which is the Celestial Lake.”
“People have to recite this article during the college entrance examination, which is the biggest exam in Huaxia, but no one knows that the content of this article is actually talking about Qi!”
When he said that, all the Huaxia people who were watching the live streaming were astonished!
“Is Being Free and Unfettered talking about Qi?”
“Holy sh*t! That’s an ambiguous meaning!”
“Isn’t Being Free and Unfettered talking about the Supernatural Beasts—leviathan and roc?”
“Are leviathan and roc Qi?”
“How come I don’t know that?”
….
On the stage, Fang Qiu continued, “Under the navels of the Huaxia people, there is Dantian. Under the sea, it is called the northern ocean and the southern ocean is above our heads.”
“Refine the vital essence and turn it into Qi. Refine Qi and turn it into Spirit. Then meditate. Make it rise to the top.”
“In the northern ocean, the leviathan changes into a bird going to the southern ocean. It talks about the Qi of the human body. Of course, it talks about not only the Qi, but also cultivation. It also talks about the Qi of heaven and earth because the human body is like a small universe and small earth. It means the same.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Huaxia people who were watching the live streaming were even more confused.
“What the f*ck, are you talking about cultivation?”
“Leviathan and roc are Supernatural Beasts, but there are no such animals in the modern world, so it’s very likely that the author is using metaphors to write this article.”
“But, since there are no Supernatural Beasts, how can there be any cultivation in the modern world?”
“Is there really a way to cultivate in this world?”
“What the f*ck, if this is true, then I’m so close to cultivation. I used to recite Being Free and Unfettered when I was a student.”
“According to what Fang Qiu said, this article is very likely to be a secret cultivation method passed down by the ancient powerful talents!”
“Oh my god, this cultivation method is so difficult to understand. If I can time travel, how can I become Long Aotian if I can’t even understand the cultivation method?”
Although people were making a lot of jokes, almost everyone was shocked by Fang Qiu’s knowledge.
They didn’t know that Being Free and Unfettered, the first chapter of Zhuangzi, could be so amazing.
Those who knew a little about this suddenly thought of something after Fang Qiu finished speaking.
This was Zhuangzi!
Zhuangzi was one of the three Metaphysics of Taoism!
When they thought about this, they suddenly realized something.
Maybe what Fang Qiu said was exactly what Zhuangzi wanted to express. Their comprehension of this article before was wrong!
There were even many people who secretly made up their minds that after listening to Fang Qiu’s speech, they would go and read Being Free and Unfettered and the whole Zhuangzi!
However, compared with the Huaxia audience, all the western audience at the conference were even more stunned.
When they heard what Fang Qiu said, they felt as if they were listening to a myth.
More than 2,000 years ago?
Zhuangzi?
Big bird?
Big fish?
They could not understand it at all!
Everyone was looking at Fang Qiu eagerly.
All of them seemed to be expressing their feelings with their eyes, “Can’t you just say something that we can understand?”
On the stage, Fang Qiu did not stop. Instead, he continued to speak. He talked about it for eight or nine minutes. During this time, he mainly talked about what Qi and meridians were, as well as their effects and some records in the ancient Huaxia books.
All the people present seemed to be listening attentively. They couldn’t understand it at all because there were too many classical Chinese expressions in Fang Qiu’s speech.
However, they felt that Fang Qiu was so astonishing!
In the live streaming room, most of the people who were watching the live streaming sighed with emotion. They felt that the classical Chinese they had learned was fake. How could it be so completely different from what Fang Qiu had learned?
The most important thing was that no matter how hard they tried, they all felt that what Fang Qiu said was true. Even some Chinese teachers who were watching live streaming began to doubt their own knowledge.
It seemed that it was almost time.
Fang Qiu finished explaining about Qi and meridians. As everyone was watching, he said, “Now, let me tell you why Mr. Henry can see meridians.”
As soon as he said that, everyone became more attentive.
Finally, he got to the point.
They thought the extra time was running out.
“The reason is very simple.”
Fang Qiu said, “First of all, it’s because I helped Mr. Henry enter into the state of meditation, which means that he has completely abandoned all distracting thoughts. He is completely relaxed to the extreme.”
“In addition, Mr. Henry has sufficient Qi in his body.”
“When these two conditions are met at the same time, Mr. Henry can see the meridians in his body.”
Obviously, Fang Qiu said that on purpose.
He couldn’t say that he was the one who injected it. If he were to say it out loud, then it would be too awesome.
He knew that there must be people in Wulin who liked to watch the live streaming, so he could not reveal too much of his strength. All he needed to do was to let them think that he was a fan of practicing Qi.
Looking at the time, ten minutes was about to pass. But the audience had not heard enough yet. They still did not know how to practice the art.
