C177 The Benefits Were Not Shallow
In just a few leaps, they had already returned to the main road and found that the scenery around them was very different. They saw that the uneven road seemed to be covered with a thick layer of sand, and they guessed that it must be the work of the storm just now.
Cihang sent them onto the main road and apologized. Then, she flew towards Jiujiang City as if she was flying. When Du Qi and the other five saw the scene in front of them, they stepped on the thick and soft sand. They couldn't help but recall what they saw just now. They still felt a strong shock in their hearts. It made their hearts palpitate. No one was in the mood to speak along the way.
After turning a corner once more, everything before their eyes suddenly opened up, and they'd finally finished walking this stretch of the Yellow Springs Road amidst their shock. In the distance, they saw all sorts of people surging out from the Chaliao Wine House and Tavern at the riverside pier, and they rushed over towards them in succession. On one side. As they walked, they constantly pointed and pointed, as if they were arguing about something.
Perhaps it was because they just saw them on the road to Huang Quan, the people in front of them all quickened their pace, and the person in front of them shouted from afar: "Hey! Customer, what happened in front of us just now?"
Seeing that the person who came was just a few ordinary merchants, perhaps because they felt the strange behavior just now, they asked out of curiosity. Dongfang Boluan replied, "We just came over, and nothing unusual happened."
That person said again, "We were stopped by a Taoist priest just now, saying that there was danger. If he doesn't let us pass, we will see that the sky is turning dark in the direction of Yellow Spring Road. Fierce winds erupted, dark clouds pressing down, and lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. They really thought that something extraordinary had happened. That's why we asked the guest about it."
Another person said: "Since there's nothing much, we've already wasted quite a bit of time, let's hurry and leave!"
The person who asked the question once again apologized to Du Qi and the others before heading towards the Yellow Spring Road with the others. One of them even said while walking," What I said is fine, right? You guys don't believe me. Isn't there already someone coming over? "
Another man said, "It's good that there's nothing wrong. Judging from the looks of it just now, it should at least be raining heavily. Who would have thought that there wouldn't be even a drop of rain? No matter what, it's not a bad thing to rest there."
Another person said with a smile, "You're the only one who knows how to get rid of people. Think about everything happily. Eh! This road seems to be a bit different? "
Another person then exclaimed in surprise, "That's right. Who laid a layer of sand on the proper road? It's not easy to walk."
Then another person said, "Who has the time to spread sand? Didn't you see that the slope by the road is similar to the ground? It seems that there was indeed an accident here just now. That Taoist priest really didn't lie to us. From the looks of it, could it be that the deities are fighting here?"
Someone added with a smile, "From the looks of it, it was obviously the result of a strong wind blowing sand, but you think too much."
Following that, there was a burst of laughter, and someone urged, "Hurry up, let's go to the front and see if there's anything unusual!"
The voices of the group in the lead gradually faded away, and were covered up by the voices later on. Du Qi looked at the endless stream of pedestrians and merchants walking past him, listening to their noisy voices. He suddenly remembered Cihang saying that she was here to help him cross the tribulation and couldn't help but ask, "Why did someone stop those ordinary people and make us walk on the road to the Yellow Spring? Could it be that there really is someone who wants to harm me here, and there are people who want to stop me? "
Dongfang Boluan and the other three couldn't answer Du Qi's question. They could only silently follow behind him. Du Qi suddenly said, "Why is Miaoer not saying anything?"
Looh Miaoer said, "Young Master and senior nun Cihang were talking about proper business earlier. How could I be allowed to speak? Although he wanted to say it now, he did not know what to say, so he could only shut his mouth."
Du Qi could not help looking at Lee Shizhen, Pang Xian and Dongfang Boluan. Seeing that they were all the same as Looh Miaoer, he could not help but smile bitterly, but he still asked, "What is Brother Li's opinion on the matter just now?"
Lee Shizhen said, "It might have been the sound of thunder just now, otherwise, how could it be so powerful?"
Looh Miaoer continued, "There might be some magic treasures that can produce such a phenomenon, but the power is definitely not that great. So what you said should be correct."
Hearing this, Du Qi could not help but look at Looh Miaoer and said in surprise, "Miaoer really think so?"
Looh Miaoer said in surprise, "Yes, is there anything wrong with it?"
Du Qi said, "There is nothing wrong with it. I just feel strange."
Lee Shizhen said, "There is nothing strange about it. Think about it. We are all highly skilled and knowledgeable people. We naturally don't have the blind perception of ordinary people. Think about the powerful aura just now. It really isn't something that can be done with human strength! Thinking back to the past, I often thought of myself as a 'deity'. I thought that all Qi Practitioners in the world were supreme. Today, I suddenly realized that whether it was in front of people or in nature... I really am nothing."
Looh Miaoer smiled and said," Sir is too modest. It is only because the Qi that Sir practices is the righteous Qi that can save lives and heal injuries. It is very different from the Qi of Righteousness that we martial artists cultivate and the Qi of Nature that cultivators cultivate. The overbearing and tyrannical Qi that you display is naturally different as well. "
Hearing Looh Miaoer's words, Du Qi suddenly recalled that Elder Qi had said yesterday that the Qi he emitted was different from the Qi that Looh Miaoer emitted. At that time, he had only heard of it and had not taken it to heart. Hearing her words, he could not help but think and feel. Indeed, he could feel that the auras of the four of them were different. Thinking about it carefully, the auras that Looh Miaoer and Cihang emitted were even more different. It could be said that there was a difference between heaven and earth.
After this test, Du Qi could not help but be overjoyed. He did not even care about Cihang's Qi that had just left. He could clearly distinguish Cihang's Qi and compare it with the others.
At this time, Lee Shizhen said again, "That's right. This should be like how doctors and martial artists have different needs for the eight extraordinary meridians, so their understanding of the eight extraordinary meridians is also different."
Du Qi had only heard a small part of his father's understanding of the eight extraordinary meridians that day. However, he had learned it systematically. The cultivation method in the jade pendant rarely mentioned the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. The daily practice of martial arts was the circulation of true essence automatically, and there was no deliberate guidance. As a result, he did not know the specific functions of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. Now, he heard Lee Shizhen mention it. He asked, "Is it really important to know the functions of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians?"
Lee Shizhen said, "It is not very important, but very important. You must know that if a doctor does not know about this... If a cultivator does not know about this, it will be difficult for the furnace to be settled. In the end, they will all end up in a mediocre state. " Then he said in surprise, "What? Younger brother actually doesn't know all the functions of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians?"
Du Qi smiled bitterly and said, "I am young and have lost my parents' trust. I really don't understand this. I hope you can give me some guidance."
