Chapter 55: The Triumph of the Idealists
In fact, since awakening the memory of his previous life, Chen Qi has questioned whether there really is a soul in this world, but the materialist worldview of his previous life that has penetrated deep into the bone marrow has deeply affected him, and he has ignored this question intentionally or unintentionally.
But during this period of time, he personally experienced one strange event after another beyond common sense, so that Chen Qi finally confirmed that there really is a soul in this world.
In the time when he was stunned just now, Chen Qi thought of a lot.
First of all, he thought of death, why human beings fear death, because death is unknown, people are afraid of the unknown after death, especially staunch materialists, who firmly believe that this world is material, the soul does not exist, and after the death of the human body, consciousness will cease to exist.
Our corpses will lie in the cold ground, decomposing little by little, and after thousands of years, they will turn to dust, and the last trace of the world will be scattered with the wind, and no one in the world will remember us, how sad it is!!
But there is a soul in this world, and people will become ghosts after death, so death is not so terrible, because the consciousness still exists after death, and the "I" still exists, but in a different state of existence, maybe the soul is the legendary quantum biological state?
In this way, there is nothing to be afraid of when encountering ghosts, everyone will become ghosts after death, so why should they be afraid of you? For materialists, if they are really awake and meet ghosts and confirm the existence of souls, they should be overjoyed, at least you understand that everything will not be empty after you die.
"Okay, I'm fine, it's just a momentary feeling," Chen Qi waved his hand, and then told everyone, "Seal the cave, this matter must be kept strictly secret, and you can't tell anything, so as not to cause panic, especially Xiao Jingshu, I'm worried that she won't be able to accept it." ”
"Yes, young master. ”
After this incident passed, the team continued to move forward, and the rest of the journey was smooth and uneventful.
A few days later, the team left the mountains and entered the territory of Xiangzhou, and the scenery along the way changed abruptly.
It is the height of summer, all kinds of plants are luxuriant, lush, full of emerald green, the flat rice fields on the roadside are endless, the aroma of rice flowers is fragrant, the sound of frogs is a piece, the chickens and dogs smell each other, from time to time to see the peasants working in the paddy fields, it is the good scenery of the countryside in the south of the Yangtze River.
One evening, the procession happened to pass through a village with 100 families, and the village was not small, so it was decided to spend the night here.
Chen Qi got off the horse and asked passers-by about the location of the village chief's house, and brought some gifts to visit, the village chief was an old man in his fifties, very hospitable, personally led everyone to go door to door to sleep, and finally settled everyone properly.
In the evening, the village chief slaughtered chickens and sheep, warmly entertained Chen Qi, took out the good wine that he had been reluctant to drink, and invited him to taste it.
During the banquet, Chen Qi found that the two eight or nine-year-old grandsons of the village chief had been staring at the chicken leg in his hand and swallowing saliva, and immediately understood that although the land in the south of the Yangtze River is fertile and rich in products, the lives of the people at the bottom are not rich, and the two should not have eaten meat for a long time.
Chen Qi beckoned the two brothers to the table, and took out a lot of jerky, pastries, and desserts for them, and the two of them were happy, and the village chief kept apologizing beside him, thinking that the guests should not be so expensive.
At night, Chen Qi lay on a hard bed covered with straw and couldn't sleep, and couldn't help laughing at himself for going from thrift to luxury, and from luxury to thrift. Born in a wealthy family in this life, although Chen Qi has suffered a lot in martial arts, he has never treated himself badly in life, every day of the delicacies of the mountains and seas, brocade clothes and jade food, even if he goes out for a long journey, the carriage is also covered with a thick mattress with springs, which is very comfortable.
In the haze, Chen Qi just fell asleep, seemed to hear a small movement, and was immediately alert, before he opened his eyes, he felt the wind coming, Chen Qi turned over to dodge, and at the same time counterattacked, punching the attacker, but the fist was halfway, and suddenly felt wrong, faintly sharp, the enemy had a weapon, he instantly turned his fist into a palm, opened it slightly, and slapped a palm on the side of the weapon.
With a "click", the blade of the knife shattered into several pieces under his incredulous gaze, although it was still clenched in the hands of the attacker.
Chen Qi's palm is famous, and it is the second style of the "Dragon Descending Palm" that he recently created: "Sonic Shock Hundred Miles". The mystery of the move lies in the word "shock", with the deepening of the comprehension and mastery of dark energy, Chen Qi found that multiple dark energy superimposed, that is, multiple layers of force are superimposed together in a very short period of time, forming a shock wave.
This shockwave can not only penetrate the enemy's surface hard defenses and attack the fragile interior, but also completely destroy seemingly indestructible objects, such as weapons. Most of the weapons in this world are made of steel, but due to poor forging technology, many parts of a weapon will inevitably have different thicknesses and densities, and there are still some hidden gaps and cracks inside the weapon.
If it is hit by a shock wave formed by dark energy, the weapon can easily be completely destroyed due to uneven internal force. "Sonic Boom Baili" was founded according to this principle, but Chen Qi used internal force instead of nerve current to stimulate muscles, because he found that using internal force to stimulate muscles is more energy-saving, and with internal force protection, muscle endurance is increased many times, and it can quickly contract and bulge more times in a very short period of time, forming a stronger shock wave.
The long knife in the attacker's hand was shattered, and he was obviously stunned for a moment, Chen Qi would not let go of the opportunity, and the other fist hit him hard in the chest.
In the silence of the night, the sound of broken ribs could be clearly heard, the broken ribs pierced the heart, and the body of the attacker smashed through the door and fell into the courtyard, screaming and convulsing to death.
The crowd was alarmed by the screams.
"Don't come out!" Chen Qi shouted, as he heard a faint breath hiding on the roof, apparently the attacker and his accomplices.
Just as Chen Qi was drinking, another thief jumped down from the roof, holding his claws with both hands, like a goshawk, and pounced on him, the target was his eyes, his light skills were very clever, fast as the wind, if he was caught, a pair of eyeballs would definitely not be protected.
Chen Qi tilted his head slightly, raised his fists, and the two of them collided hard!
"Smack!"
Chen Qi felt a strong attack, took a few steps back to unload the force, felt a little tingling in his fists, and several cold internal forces entered his body, destroying everywhere.
"Master!" Chen Qi secretly shouted in his heart, this person's martial arts were much stronger than the one he had killed just now, but why did he feel that this internal force was vaguely familiar? But there was no time to think about it in the fierce battle.
The attacker took advantage of his strength to return to the roof, adjusted his body and pounced again, and the two fought fiercely in the small courtyard.
The thief is like a goshawk that keeps pounced, Chen Qi can only block with both palms, or dodge with flexible footwork, and is very passive for a while, unable to fight back.
Chen Qi is also very helpless, he only has one kind of light skill now, but "Divine Change" is very good at flashing on the ground, but there is no light body effect, he is not good at coming and going, the enemy seems to see this, using the clever light skill, he will leave with one blow in the air, and will not give him a chance to fight back.
Moreover, the attacker is very experienced in the rivers and lakes, and his eyesight is very clever, and Chen Qi deliberately sold several flaws in an attempt to lure the enemy deeper, but he easily saw through them, turned a blind eye, and was not fooled.
After more than a hundred moves like this, hot air came out from the top of Chen Qi's head, his meager internal force was almost consumed, and his footwork was a little inflexible. Suddenly, one of his left feet accidentally stepped on a smooth stone, and his body couldn't help but tilt sideways, revealing the vital point of his heart.
At this time, Chen Qi's body was half in the air, his center of gravity was unstable, even if he barely raised his hands to block, he didn't have much strength, it was very dangerous, the enemy naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity, his body flashed, he came to the front, and grabbed Chen Qi's heart like lightning.
The attacker is very confident in this claw, he has practiced the eagle claw skill for decades, the skill is profound, the internal force is spit out, ten fingers are like ten sharp steel knives, it is a piece of hard marble, he is also confident to scratch out five holes, if Chen Qi is caught by him, he will definitely be instantly broken open chest and take out his heart.
However, before the attacker's ten fingers touched the skin, they encountered an invisible force field defense, but the thin force field was quickly defeated head-on by the powerful finger force, and then the ten fingers encountered a layer of hard and elastic soft armor, when the fierce and sharp finger force broke through the defense of the soft armor, the strength had already gone to most of it, and was finally blocked by the bulging muscle layer on the chest, leaving only a few blood marks on the surface of the skin.
