Chapter 50: What is the Word

Putting aside those chaotic thoughts, Shi Chen quickly ate dinner.

I have to get up early tomorrow, first go to the courtyard to learn the Tao from the master, and then I guess I have to help build a house and work.

After eating a good meal and washing up briefly, Shi Chen returned to the room.

Lying on the bed, looking at the wooden beams and tiled roof overhead, I had a lot of thoughts.

It's been almost a week since I crossed over.

In this short period of time, I have experienced things that I would never have experienced in my life.

Came to a new world.

I don't know what happened to me in the original world.

Is it dead, or is it also replaced by Wencai.

If Wencai went to modern times and saw those high-rise buildings, mobile phones and computers, he would definitely be as surprised as he was when he came to this world to see zombies and monsters.

After all, for him, many high-tech and cutting-edge things in modern society are similar to demons and monsters, unknown, always mysterious.

He really hopes that he and Wencai have swapped a world, and he lives in this world instead of Wencai.

Wencai lives in the original world instead of himself, and his relatives may not be sad...

"Hey, sleep!"

Thinking of this, Shi Chen felt faintly homesick in his heart, and quickly interrupted his thoughts, closed his eyes and rested.

After working hard for half a day, the exhaustion of his body overcame the chaotic thoughts, and soon, Shi Chen fell asleep.

Early the next morning, with the sound of roosters crowing, Shi Chen got up on time, and after wiping his face with water, he came to the compound as promised.

Two futons were placed in the courtyard.

Uncle Nine seemed to have gotten up earlier, already sitting on one of the futons, meditating and meditating with his eyes closed and holding his breath.

"Wencai, very punctual."

As soon as Shi Chen stepped into the courtyard, Uncle Nine opened his eyes and stared at him with blazing eyes.

"Master, morning!"

Shi Chen waved his hand.

"Come here, sit down."

Uncle Nine pointed to the futon in front of him.

When Shi Chen heard this, he stepped forward quickly, and learned that Uncle Nine was also sitting cross-legged on the futon.

"Wencai, what do you say is the Tao?"

Seeing Shi Chen do a good job, Uncle Nine raised a rather interesting question.

Shi Chen frowned when he heard this question, in the original world, this kind of question was a big philosophical question.

He racked his brains and began to struggle to remember the definition of "Tao."

"The original meaning of the Tao refers to the trajectory of all things, for people, the Tao is to turn nature into their own use, and the rules of all things are the Tao."

After thinking for a while, Shi Chen gave a popular explanation from a materialistic perspective.

saw that Uncle Nine first nodded approvingly, and then shook his head with a smile.

This made Shi Chen very helpless, Uncle Nine would even be that kind of antique, Uncle Nine in film and television dramas is as clever as an old child, who would have thought that he would have nothing to ask himself the profound question of what is "Tao".

Since the materialistic answer is not all right, try the idealistic one.

"Hmm...", the scattered form is Qi, and the polymorphic form is "Taishang Laojun!" ”

Shi Chen thought about it for a while, and casually pulled out a famous sentence in "Lao Tzu Xiang'er Note".

This time, Uncle Nine nodded again and again with satisfaction.

"That's right, it's Qi (sound the same as Qi), Qi is the foundation of Taoism, and it is also the basic energy that constitutes the human body and the maintenance of life."

Uncle Nine's words were amazing.

Shi Chen was a little confused.

What the hell, aren't the basic elements that make up the human body "carbon", "hydrogen", and "oxygen"?

When did it become Qi?

Uncle Jiu's theory reminded Shi Chen that Sun Wukong could conjure up a little monkey by blowing on his hair, which was full of fantasy and mythology.

This had a great impact on the education and worldview he received in the original world for more than twenty years.

It took a while to regain his strength.

I have already traveled to a world with ghosts, and I can no longer use the rules and standards of the original world to measure the things in this world.

Seeing that Shi Chen didn't speak for a while, Uncle Nine thought that it was his apprentice who fell into thinking, and couldn't help but feel more satisfied in his heart.

The status has also soared in Uncle Jiu's heart, and if he continues like this, his mantle heir will be none other than Wencai!

Shi Chen naturally didn't know what Uncle Nine was thinking, and he thought about it for a while before he raised his head and looked at Uncle Nine.

"Master, how did such a thing as Qi become a Dao Fa?"

What Shi Chen asked can be said to be the foundation of the foundation, and he has learned the literature before, but now that Shi Chen asked again, Uncle Nine not only did not doubt it, but was even more impressed.

Starting from the foundation and starting from the new, Wencai, this kid has indeed changed!

"The essence of the Tao is to use the rules of all things, one thing descends to one thing, all things circulate, endlessly, the flow of mantras and meridians can lead to magic weapons, activate spells, or gather Qi into fire at the fingertips, and there are countless possibilities for countless combinations."

What Uncle Nine said was very popular, which made Shi Chen also suddenly realize, he actually vaguely understood the Taoist technique and the principles of those that attracted Ou runes and magic weapons.

"But how do you feel about Qi?"

Shi Chen asked curiously.

Uncle Nine took out a commonly used flame talisman from his arms and threw it in Shi Chen's hand.

"Close your eyes, feel it, and activate this flame talisman."

Relying on the fusion of texts to memorize, basic operations like using flames are not a problem at all, but I still don't know how to do it.

Closing his eyes and concentrating, Shi Chen clamped the flame talisman to his fingertips, and then after his heart was completely calm, he began to activate the flame talisman.

As he finished reciting the mantra, he sensed a vague flow from the meridians of his big arm, converging on the spell.

Resonates with the runes engraved on the spell, and the entire flame charm is activated, bursting into flames.

"Master, I feel the Qi."

"Well, Wencai, your perception ability is much higher than you imagined for the teacher."

Uncle Jiu's face was full of approval, he hadn't noticed it before, but Wencai, a kid, could find Qi's traces so quickly.

This talent has surpassed that of Qiu Sheng.

"Master, can this Qi be cultivated?"

The thoughts in Shi Chen's mind are far richer than those of Uncle Jiu, and in his opinion, this Qi is similar to the "True Qi" and "Yuan Qi" in Xiuzhen's novels.

"Now you can only raise Qi, not refine Qi."

Uncle Nine said slowly, without giving more explanation.

Shi Chen was disappointed at this time, and he was still thinking that he could cultivate into an immortal, move mountains and seas, and play some adult games with his fairy daughter.

"If there are demons in the world, why are there no immortals?"

Shi Chen asked without giving up.

"What God? What immortals? We haven't even done a good job individually, don't think about these bells and whistles and unrealistic things! ”

Uncle Nine refuted with some annoyance, changing his easy-going image in the past.

Shi Chen didn't dare to say anything, and obediently listened to the lesson.
