Chapter 10: Observing Qi with Heavenly Eyes
In the ancient book, the pages that were originally filled with complex ancient inscriptions were blank, leaving only the thin yellowed paper.
Standing there, I was still in disbelief, recalling the magical process just now.
As if the ancient text came alive, it penetrated into my skin and turned into wisps of warm air, rising up along the meridians and finally converging on my eyes.
My eyes burned, as if a layer of something blinding my eyes was slowly melting away. This process seemed to last for a long time, and it seemed like it was only a short second.
My eyesight has improved, my eyes are clear, and the whole world has never been so clear!
Is this what it feels like to have your heavenly eye open?
This mysterious taste can only be felt but cannot be expressed in words.
I felt excited, like a child who gets a rare toy and wants to try it out. I couldn't wait to verify the magic of this clairaudience technique.
I opened the rolling shutter door and faced the bright sunshine. I recited the mantra silently in my heart and looked at the passers-by with my eyes open.
Concentrating and looking around, a layer of hazy gas slowly appeared on the passers-by who were walking in a hurry.
The vast majority of people carry the most common white energy.
It is plain and unremarkable, just like their life, it is just a drop in the ocean among all living beings.
There is no special one. Some people even have white qi with gray in it. Gray qi is also called bad luck, which indicates that they will be unlucky in the near future.
It's right to think about it. What kind of dignitaries can people living in a village in the city be?
After observing for less than five minutes, my head became dizzy and my eyes began to hurt.
Using the Heavenly Eye is extremely energy-consuming. I am only at the first level and am a newbie. The time for using the Heavenly Eye is relatively short and requires constant practice to improve.
Fortunately, as those ancient texts were absorbed by me, the mental methods of practice were also engraved in my mind, and I no longer needed to spend energy reciting them.
The ready-made ladder has been set up, I just need to climb up step by step.
Even though I have just started, these five minutes are enough for me to clearly see a person's aura and judge someone's bad luck, not to mention that my ability will be stronger after practice.
I can possess rare and long-lost secret techniques. I was once again shocked by the ability of the Kaitan live broadcast room without any doubts.
With this secret technique, at least I won’t have to worry about food in the future.
Feeling a little comfort in my heart, I was about to withdraw my gaze, but out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of a man who seemed to be surrounded by black energy.
Black energy is a very dangerous energy!
I was shocked and wanted to see the specific situation, but my eyes were already stretched to the extreme and the pain was unbearable, so I had to close my eyes to relieve it.
Just having black energy on a person's face is already a sign of an incurable disease, or prison, or a bloody disaster. What's more, if the black energy is lingering all over his body, he may have already stepped half of his foot into the gate of hell.
However, when I opened my eyes and looked in that direction again, all the energy in the pedestrians on the chaotic street had disappeared. I only saw a familiar figure limping towards me.
"Hey, boy, you are standing at the door and giggling. It seems that you are in a good mood. I think you have passed the bloody disaster safely. But why are the corners of your eyes blue and you look like you have kidney failure?"
Wang Laizi was carrying a rag bag, which contained all his belongings for setting up a street vendor. He was smiling, but he was talking like a dog's mouth could not spit out ivory.
The corners of my eyes turned blue because it was the first time I used the Heavenly Eye to observe qi, and it was incompatible with what he said.
"Old Wang, where have you been in the past two days? I see that you are carrying black energy, which is a very bad sign!" I threatened angrily.
"What did you say?" Wang Laizi's face changed drastically, he took two steps back, hugged his rag bag, looked at me as if facing a formidable enemy, and said three words solemnly.
"I have no money!"
He was wearing a cheap Tang suit and black cloth shoes bought at a street stall. His hair was unkempt, his complexion was sallow and his skin was thin. He was only a little better than a beggar. The word "no money" was written all over his body, but his face was almost written on it.
If the soul-suppressing talisman hadn't really worked, I wouldn't believe it even to death based on his majestic appearance. He might be an extraordinary person.
"I have something serious to see you." I couldn't help but roll my eyes at him. I put aside my playful thoughts and took him into the shop.
The next live broadcast will be in seven days. I need talismans with me. The more the merrier.
"Do you still have the soul-soothing talisman you gave me last time?"
"You have already survived the catastrophe safely, so why do you need the magic talisman?" Wang Laizi looked surprised.
"See for yourself." I took out the blackened soul-suppressing talisman.
"Holy shit! What kind of evil thing did you encounter?" Seeing the burnt marks on the edge of the yellow talisman, Wang Laizi was startled and started swearing.
"This spirit-suppressing talisman was made by everyone. Ordinary demons and demons would not dare to approach it. Now, the charm has been completely lost and it is completely useless!"
Are the things in the Eight Immortals Baozi Shop so ferocious?
I was also surprised. I had a near miss last night. I thought it was just an ordinary evil thing. But now when I heard what Wang Laizi said, I suddenly felt scared.
"I don't know what it is, but I may encounter something more ferocious later, so I need more soul-suppressing talismans."
"Do you think these are fake goods that are worthless on the street stalls? How can there be so many of them?" Wang Laizi shook his head.
"Aren't you just a street vendor yourself?" I was speechless and disappointed.
But that's right. If Wang Laizi really had so many spiritual talismans, how could he be so depressed?
"Can that be the same? I'm trying to taste all the suffering in the world. This is called the world of mortals to refine one's heart. You don't understand." Wang Laizi narrowed his eyes at me, "Speaking of which, kid, what on earth did you get into?"
"Don't worry about it. In addition to the Soul Suppressing Talisman, do you have anything else that can suppress evil? Anything like a peach wood sword and Bagua mirror will do. The key is that the effect is good!" I couldn't reveal to him what happened in the Guitan live broadcast room. .
"If you encounter a more powerful monster, those ordinary gadgets will have no effect at all." Wang Laizi waved his hand, paused and changed the subject, "However, money can make all the difference. As long as you have sufficient funds, what can you do? Is there something money can’t buy?”
"Really?" I looked at him suspiciously.
"Do you think the Taoist master on the mountain doesn't need to eat? Don't worry, I'm just a matchmaker. It's up to you whether to buy it or not. But whether it succeeds or not, you have to treat me to a meal!"
I have been dealing with Wang Laizi for nearly two years, and he has indeed only cheated people out of food and drink, but has never cheated anyone out of money.
"It's okay to eat, but you don't know how much money I have?" Unfortunately, I am short of money and have more than a hundred yuan left. Even if Wang Laizi can help me find good things, I can't afford it.
"Can I pay on credit?" I asked weakly.
Wang Laizi glared: "Of course not! You think everyone is an old man with a compassionate heart! People take risks and bring things down the mountain just for money!"
"Okay." I nodded helplessly.
It seems that the first pot of gold needs to be made as soon as possible using the qi-viewing technique.
