Zhang Huaiyi was stunned and asked subconsciously:
"Then why don't I go?"
Qiao Yuan said matter-of-factly:
"Of course it's me. You are a sociologist and a psychologist. If you were to observe me, you would be much more objective. We need to distinguish whether those feelings are subjective factors or objective factors."
"Besides, I am more determined than you. I always believe that Taoist immortals are wrong, and people can only rely on themselves. And because I am not neutral enough from this position, it is up to you to make a better judgment."
Qiao Yuan paused, and his voice was filled with bitterness:
"Do you know? When I preached against Taoist immortals, too many people rushed out to stop me. They were not all for evolution, but more for healing. Cancer patients can live longer, and dying old people can regain their lives. , but when they asked me why I stopped, I could only palely say that there are still risks in this matter, please wait, please wait. I am always stared at with malicious and questioning eyes, which makes me panic. Even someone like me, who is an oppositionist, is thinking about whether we should continue?”
"Not everyone can wait. Too many people are in desperate need of hope. We should not hesitate any longer. Whether we accept it or resist it, I can't wait any longer. I urgently need an answer."
"I'm also curious, no matter how determined a person is, will he change if he practices Taoism? Even me?"
"You are an excellent leader...and you don't have to die to become an immortal, so what does it matter?"
"That's it, brother, this is a risky move. I really don't know what will happen after practicing, but it doesn't matter to me. I am confused because I am confused."
"You just have to make a distinction, you have to make a distinction."
Zhang Huaiyi did not reply for a long time.
He thought there was a better way, but he couldn't deceive himself anymore. He covered his face, feeling ashamed of himself.
"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely know the difference."
"With your words, I feel relieved."
Qiao Yuan's voice always had a cheerful tone. Zhang Huaiyi felt that he should not exist in the court, he should be a knight in the world, doing justice, because his eyes always looked carefree and unruly.
The phone was hung up.
Zhang Huaiyi gathered his mood and began to prepare everything needed for the test.
He took out a camera that he had not used for a long time and bought a lot of hidden cameras. He wanted to step back from the position of command and decision-making and truly observe the entire incident in person.
All previous observational data were handled by subordinates who were neither familiar with the experimenters nor trustworthy.
Now is the time to truly observe the entire Taoist cultivation process from the perspective of a bystander.
Zhang Huaiyi ran to Qiao Yuan's home, first hung a camera on the surface, and then arranged several hidden cameras in the dark to record the most real side.
During this period, Qiao Yuan had been sitting quietly on the bed, looking at Zhang Huaiyi with a smile.
"As expected, I feel much more at ease with your arrangements."
"Stop joking, you are a test subject now, so you must pay attention to your own safety."
"Once you feel there is a problem, you must stop practicing and then ask for help on the camera. I will observe all your behaviors in real time. Once you have a problem, I will try my best to save you!"
"good!"
Qiao Yuan agreed and looked at the Dao Immortal Sutra that had not yet been opened on the table, with a hint of nervousness in his leisurely eyes.
Everything was ready, and after a few final words, Zhang Huaiyi returned home.
After looking at the computer and telling Qiao Yuan that he was in place, Qiao Yuan picked up the blue and white scripture on the table and opened the first page.
Dao can Dao...
Qiao Yuan read the contents of the book silently. For safety reasons, he did not reveal it to Zhang Huaiyi, but the more he read, the more strange his eyes became. When he opened the middle door, he was surprised for a while, then closed the book and said: He looked at the camera and shook his head with extremely serious eyes.
"This practice is very evil."
Qiao Yuan could only say this, and he could see the next content through the screen.
Qiao Yuan put down the scripture in his hand, and then began to boil water repeatedly until the hot water filled the bucket that could fit a person. Then he put down the kettle, then stretched out his foot and lightly touched the water.
The scalding hot water made Qiao Yuan bounce up like an electric shock. He blew heavily and touched his red toes.
Zhang Huaiyi already knew from previous cases that all practitioners must go through this stage in their cultivation, but now his heartbeat was still racing and he was terrified.
Qiao Yuan was still continuing. He gritted his teeth, his face turned red, and he muttered silently, but he still couldn't reduce his fear at all.
I don't know how long it took, maybe because the water temperature was slightly cooler, he suddenly stretched out his feet, and his mouth became deformed due to pain.
Because it was too hot, he withdrew his foot again, and then tried again, going back and forth several times. The last time, he extended his foot for thirty seconds, and finally retracted his foot in pain because of the heat, and gasped. Cool air.
His feet were now burned, red, and steaming with heat.
"No, no, I can't continue practicing. It's too hot. How can I persist?"
"I can only give up first."
Although Qiao Yuan said this, neither of them actually gave up this idea in their hearts, because according to the practitioners' explanations, these pains are necessary for cultivation, and if they cannot bear it, Taoist immortals will help them practice.
Qiao Yuan was bored and played with his mobile phone. Zhang Huaiyi, who was sitting in front of the computer, leaned on his seat, looked at the monitor, and quietly waited for that moment to arrive.
"Hey, I said it's quite strange to live like this and be monitored by you."
"Cut the nonsense."
The two were silent again until late at night. Zhang Huaiyi stared at the screen and dozed off. Finally, the change came.
"Zhang Huaiyi..."
"What's wrong?"
"So hot, so hot!!!"
"Cough cough cough."
Qiao Yuan began to cough violently and uncontrollably. Then, the painful wails continued. Blisters and wounds began to appear on his body out of thin air. The ups and downs continued to torture Qiao Yuan.
This is... Taoist Immortal forcing people to cultivate immortality! ! !
Seeing Qiao Yuan in such pain, Zhang Huaiyi couldn't stand anymore and immediately drove to Qiao Yuan's home.
Regardless of whether he will recover or not, Zhang Huaiyi cannot sit idly by.
But before Zhang Huaiyi arrived at Qiao Yuan's house, Qiao Yuan's pain had stopped. His body was twitching and he looked like he was about to die. But soon, his body began to recover visibly.
New granulations sprouted from the rotten flesh, and the ulcerated skin gradually healed. Qiao Yuan's unconscious body was like a fish out of water, beating from time to time, but the fish was due to lack of oxygen, while Qiao Yuan was due to vitality.
This is the power of Taoist immortals.
By the time he arrived at Qiao Yuan's home, Qiao Yuan had fully recovered, but his eyes were still blurred and he looked delirious.
After Qiao Yuan woke up, he held Zhang Huaiyi's hand and the first thing he asked was:
"Is it recorded?"
"Don't worry, it's all recorded..."
Zhang Huaiyi agreed, and the first day of practice ended in such a ridiculous way. Although Zhang Huaiyi was very unwilling, the scene like Qiao Yuan could already illustrate the problem of the Taoist Immortal Sutra, but it did not prove that the Taoist Immortal was wrong.
On the contrary, in the Taoist concept promoted today, the pain of cultivation is necessary, and the recovery after pain is a gift from the Taoist.
The experiment must continue.
They also need more convincing evidence.
