"This is a very good question. In fact, this question is the fundamental driving force for the advancement of qi research." Buta Ito smiled and replied, "But unfortunately, no one in the world knows the answer. Including me, I’m afraid there’s no one in the world who can answer this question for you.”
"I have only taken two small steps forward in the extraordinary realm." Taketa Ito sighed, "Let me tell you a story. This story may help you understand what qi is."
"Before telling this story, you must first understand that qi is a kind of energy that goes against common sense." Taketa Ito thought for a while, as if he was sorting out his thoughts, "I can't say it goes against common sense, I can only say that it goes against human common sense. , which is very consistent with the mathematical model.”
"With this premise in mind, let me tell this story."
Suppose there is a completely illusory world with two people, let's call them Taro and Jiro.
Taro and Jiro are both top swordsmen. In other words, they have both developed their qi, but their swordsmanship is almost the same. One day, they meet to duel, have a real sword duel, and fight the world with swords and blood. The title of the first swordsman.
Taro is a child of a big family. He is a romantic man and spends his days living and drinking. His swordsmanship only relies on the large resources of his family. Coupled with the fact that he has noble blood and is naturally talented, he has reached this level by relying on resources.
Jiro, on the other hand, comes from a poor family and has been scorned since he was a child. Relying on the selection of the killer organization, he killed his way up from the bottom and used the corpses of his enemies to achieve his superb swordsmanship.
After the two men agreed on a duel, Dalang remained stubborn and lingered on the cotton bed all day long. Not to mention his increased strength, it was difficult not to regress.
Jiro, on the other hand, continues to practice hard training that is almost masochistic. It can be said that his strength is improving every minute and every second, and his swordsmanship is becoming more and more refined.
As the date of the duel approaches day by day, Dalang finds that his and Jiro's strength is getting stronger and stronger. Unknowingly, there is a difference that cannot be ignored. Dalang realizes that when the day of the duel comes, he may not be able to ignore it. Will be beheaded by Jiro in an instant.
But they were the two strongest swordsmen in the world. Dalang had no way to find someone else to get rid of Jiro in advance, so he thought of a strange trick. He spent money to buy out the teahouses that Jiro often went to, and bought all the places near Jiro's house. It was converted into a theater or a storytelling stall, and then a few scholars were hired to write several dramas using Dalang's name as the protagonist and boasting that Dalang was the best swordsman in the world. They worked day and night to let the theater and dramas be entertained all the time. The storytelling stall performed these things loudly for Jiro.
When Ito Buta said this, he paused deliberately and asked Yuanye with a smile: "What do you think the outcome of the final duel will be?"
"It's just that Jiro was defeated by Dalang because of interference, or that Jiro withstood the pressure and defeated Dalang." Yuanye tried to guess.
"Indeed, the corresponding plots in movies, animations, and various entertainment works are all interpreted in this way, and they are all very logical results for ordinary people." Taketa Ito laughed, "If you don't know the relevant plots at all, Situation, I haven’t seen anyone guess the answer yet.”
"Actually, Jiro withstood the interference, and instead used these interferences to hone his swordsmanship and improve his swordsmanship to a higher level." Ito Buta narrowed his eyes again and looked at Genya, "But he We lost in the end.”
"Why?" Yuan Ye, who was always very qualified as a listener, asked in a timely manner.
On the day of the final duel, Jiro brought his sword to the duel venue and started the final duel with Dalang.
As top swordsmen, even if they knew that Dalang was addicted to sensuality, they still had to test, so both Jiro and Dalang used almost one-tenth of their strength to test the opponent, although the total amount was quite different. It's a small amount, but once it's reduced to one-tenth, there won't be much difference in the swordsmanship between the two.
Therefore, the two were still evenly matched at the beginning, but as the duel progressed, Jiro discovered that Dalang was getting stronger.
Not only was Dalang getting stronger, but he himself was getting weaker. This discovery horrified Jiro, and he quickly increased his power. However, as the battle continued, Jiro found that this situation was getting worse. In the end, Jiro was defeated by Dalang. Under the sword, one hand was cut off.
"Did Dalang use some tricks again?" Yuan Ye asked proactively.
"No, after the duel, Jiro also angrily scolded Dalang, suspecting that Dalang had practiced some evil skills and absorbed his own power." Ito Buta said slowly, "But Dalang gave a reply and said He didn't even have enough time in his woman's bed, so how could he have the free time to practice those evil skills? He didn't know why, but he became stronger inexplicably during the duel. Originally, he came with the intention of dying. , maybe it’s because of his talent.”
"No one could give an answer to this question in the era of Dairo and Jiro, but as the research on qi continued to deepen, later generations finally figured out the reason for Dairo's victory." Taketa Ito said in a strange tone Talking.
This tone made Yuan Ye a little uncomfortable, but Yuan Ye, who was eager to know the answer, endured it and asked: "What is the reason?"
"Because Dalang's propaganda campaign convinced Jiro that Dalang was the best swordsman in the world, so Dalang won." Ito Buta still spoke in that tone.
"What's the logic of this? Jiro believes that Dalang is the best swordsman in the world, so Dalang becomes the best swordsman in the world?" Yuanye was a little confused and complained subconsciously, but he immediately realized the meaning behind his words. Logic problem, after understanding that logic, Yuanye instantly knew the reason for Dalang's victory.
Ito Buta looked at Genya's changing expression and was satisfied to help him tell what he thought of: "Qi is the energy that moves with thoughts, so as long as Jiro believes in his heart that Dairo is the best swordsman in the world, Jiro Jiro's Qi will help him achieve this idea. Whether he wants to do this or not, as long as he believes in his heart, Jiro's Qi will flow out of his body and bless Dalang's body, helping him to defecate stronger. "
"This is the truth about Qi." Buta Ito suddenly changed the subject and asked, "What kind of person do you think I am?"
There seemed to be a different kind of magic in Ito Buta's tone, which led Genya to subconsciously answer: "A modern swordsman in the 21st century should practice his qi continuously."
As soon as Yuan Ye finished speaking, he instantly realized something was wrong.
