Chapter 667 - Supernatural Beasts Leviathan and Roc Are Qi?!

“Is everything about Chinese Medicine true?”

“Do meridians really exist?”

“I’m just raising the normal doubts about it. Yes. That’s exactly what I did.”

Li Canming was so flustered that he even tried to find an excuse for himself.

After all, he stood up to question Fang Qiu, but it eventually turned into a slap in the face, which was so embarrassing for him!

At the medical conference, “What’s going on? I really want to know what happened just now.”

On the stage, Henry stared at Fang Qiu and even asked in a pleading tone, “Mr. Fang Qiu, can you explain it to me?”

Everyone’s attention was now on Fang Qiu.

Under everyone’s gazes, Fang Qiu stretched out his hand with a smile and pointed to the electronic timer hanging on the wall. He then shrugged as if saying, “There’s nothing I can do.” Then he said, “It’s time for me to stop.”

Everyone turned to look.

Sure enough, it was already 29 minutes and 59 seconds on the timer.

When they saw the time, the people’s expressions changed. Some of them almost cursed out loud.

Of course, they were not cursing the limited time, but Fang Qiu!

“No, you have to finish it.”

“You can’t leave even if it’s time. You have to explain it to us!”

“That’s right. How can you not explain it since you started it? You have to save your face, right?”

Everyone was furious.

All the people present could not calm down.

In the live streaming room, everyone burst into laughter.

“Good job!”

“Ha-ha, Master Fang Qiu is so precise with his timing.”

“He did it on purpose, didn’t he? Ha-ha!”

“Well…” Sensing that something was wrong, the host immediately turned around and looked at the secretary-general sitting behind the high counter behind him.

The secretary-general began negotiating with several directors around him about how to deal with this matter.

In the end, in response to the request by all the people at the conference, the secretary-general suggested that they extend Fang Qiu’s speech time to forty minutes.

As soon as the proposal was made, 10 members of the Standing Committee, as well as 32 members of the executive committee, immediately approved it.

In this regard, Fang Qiu smiled slightly.

This was what he wanted!

Before that, he had spent most of his time explaining about Chinese Medicine. In the end, he deliberately waited till there was only five minutes left. Five minutes was very short, but it was enough to prove the existence of meridians.

In this case, if these doctors of Western Medicine wanted to hear an explanation, there would be no time for that at all.

The only way was to extend the time!

That was why he did that.

It was because Fang Qiu had calculated the time himself.

Half an hour was not enough at all. It took a very long time to explain about Chinese Medicine. Therefore, Fang Qiu simplified the elaboration of Chinese Medicine many times in order to achieve this effect.

However, as far as Fang Qiu was concerned, it did not matter whether he had more time or not because he had finished telling all he wanted to say about Chinese Medicine and also proved the existence of meridians.

As for the explanation, although it was his duty to do that, it was not necessary for him.

Therefore, Fang Qiu looked completely indifferent at this moment.

He was thinking, “Whether you give me more time or not, it’s up to you. Anyway, it won’t mean much to me!”

In the live streaming room, everyone burst into an uproar.

“Ha-ha, Fang Qiu is so awesome.”

“Damn, these people are all attracted to Fang Qiu, aren’t they?”

“Master Fang Qiu is so charming that even the westerners can’t resist his charm.”

“This should be the first man in history who was successfully granted more time on the stage in a medical conference and it was even strongly demanded by all the people present. Amazingly, it was approved by all of them as soon as the proposal was made!”

After the people calmed down, they looked at Fang Qiu eagerly, waiting for him to explain.

“Ahem, ahem…”

Fang Qiu faked a cough, turned around, walked to the podium, thought about his speech and then said, “As Mr. Henry said, what he saw just now were meridians. At the same time, he was sure that what he saw was exactly the same as the meridians which were recorded in Huaxia. Then I guess you must be very curious. What is the light that Mr. Henry mentioned?”

“What is it?” Henry asked and so did everyone present.

“It’s Qi!”

Fang Qiu said, “Qi flows from the meridians, which proves the existence of Qi and meridians. As for why it can’t be seen by the naked eye, only people with Insight can see it. It’s because Qi itself can’t be seen or touched, not to mention the tracking of its flow.”

“So, what is Qi?”

“First of all, you have to know that the Qi in Chinese Medicine is not the air that you are familiar with, but it has the same nature as the air. You can’t see or touch it. Why is it that you recognize the existence of air, but can’t accept Qi?”

“Qi, it’s not air. Then what’s that?”

“It’s Qi, which is a bit different from the Qi we talked about earlier.”

“In China, the upper part of this character is ‘wu’ and the lower part is four points. ‘Wu’ means that you can’t see it, but it exists.”

“Four points indicate that it can flow and fill the universe. And it can also transform into all things in the universe.”

“In ancient Chinese books and records, there are a lot of descriptions about Qi. But they were afraid that it would be studied by people with bad intentions, so the descriptions in the books tend to use a metaphor.”

“Over 2300 years ago, there was a master named Zhuangzi in Huaxia who wrote an article called Being Free and Unfettered. He wrote, “In the northern ocean there is a fish, called the leviathan and its size measured in li is unknown. This fish changes into a bird called the roc, whose back is so wide that no one knows how many thousand li in width it covers. When the bird rouses itself and flies, its wings are like clouds, hanging over the sky. When it moves in the sea, it is preparing to fly to the southern ocean, which is the Celestial Lake.”

“People have to recite this article during the college entrance examination, which is the biggest exam in Huaxia, but no one knows that the content of this article is actually talking about Qi!”

When he said that, all the Huaxia people who were watching the live streaming were astonished!

“Is Being Free and Unfettered talking about Qi?”

“Holy sh*t! That’s an ambiguous meaning!”

“Isn’t Being Free and Unfettered talking about the Supernatural Beasts—leviathan and roc?”

“Are leviathan and roc Qi?”

“How come I don’t know that?”

….

On the stage, Fang Qiu continued, “Under the navels of the Huaxia people, there is Dantian. Under the sea, it is called the northern ocean and the southern ocean is above our heads.”

“Refine the vital essence and turn it into Qi. Refine Qi and turn it into Spirit. Then meditate. Make it rise to the top.”

“In the northern ocean, the leviathan changes into a bird going to the southern ocean. It talks about the Qi of the human body. Of course, it talks about not only the Qi, but also cultivation. It also talks about the Qi of heaven and earth because the human body is like a small universe and small earth. It means the same.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Huaxia people who were watching the live streaming were even more confused.

“What the f*ck, are you talking about cultivation?”

“Leviathan and roc are Supernatural Beasts, but there are no such animals in the modern world, so it’s very likely that the author is using metaphors to write this article.”

“But, since there are no Supernatural Beasts, how can there be any cultivation in the modern world?”

“Is there really a way to cultivate in this world?”

“What the f*ck, if this is true, then I’m so close to cultivation. I used to recite Being Free and Unfettered when I was a student.”

“According to what Fang Qiu said, this article is very likely to be a secret cultivation method passed down by the ancient powerful talents!”

“Oh my god, this cultivation method is so difficult to understand. If I can time travel, how can I become Long Aotian if I can’t even understand the cultivation method?”

Although people were making a lot of jokes, almost everyone was shocked by Fang Qiu’s knowledge.

They didn’t know that Being Free and Unfettered, the first chapter of Zhuangzi, could be so amazing.

Those who knew a little about this suddenly thought of something after Fang Qiu finished speaking.

This was Zhuangzi!

Zhuangzi was one of the three Metaphysics of Taoism!

When they thought about this, they suddenly realized something.

Maybe what Fang Qiu said was exactly what Zhuangzi wanted to express. Their comprehension of this article before was wrong!

There were even many people who secretly made up their minds that after listening to Fang Qiu’s speech, they would go and read Being Free and Unfettered and the whole Zhuangzi!

However, compared with the Huaxia audience, all the western audience at the conference were even more stunned.

When they heard what Fang Qiu said, they felt as if they were listening to a myth.

More than 2,000 years ago?

Zhuangzi?

Big bird?

Big fish?

They could not understand it at all!

Everyone was looking at Fang Qiu eagerly.

All of them seemed to be expressing their feelings with their eyes, “Can’t you just say something that we can understand?”

On the stage, Fang Qiu did not stop. Instead, he continued to speak. He talked about it for eight or nine minutes. During this time, he mainly talked about what Qi and meridians were, as well as their effects and some records in the ancient Huaxia books.

All the people present seemed to be listening attentively. They couldn’t understand it at all because there were too many classical Chinese expressions in Fang Qiu’s speech.

However, they felt that Fang Qiu was so astonishing!

In the live streaming room, most of the people who were watching the live streaming sighed with emotion. They felt that the classical Chinese they had learned was fake. How could it be so completely different from what Fang Qiu had learned?

The most important thing was that no matter how hard they tried, they all felt that what Fang Qiu said was true. Even some Chinese teachers who were watching live streaming began to doubt their own knowledge.

It seemed that it was almost time.

Fang Qiu finished explaining about Qi and meridians. As everyone was watching, he said, “Now, let me tell you why Mr. Henry can see meridians.”

As soon as he said that, everyone became more attentive.

Finally, he got to the point.

They thought the extra time was running out.

“The reason is very simple.”

Fang Qiu said, “First of all, it’s because I helped Mr. Henry enter into the state of meditation, which means that he has completely abandoned all distracting thoughts. He is completely relaxed to the extreme.”

“In addition, Mr. Henry has sufficient Qi in his body.”

“When these two conditions are met at the same time, Mr. Henry can see the meridians in his body.”

Obviously, Fang Qiu said that on purpose.

He couldn’t say that he was the one who injected it. If he were to say it out loud, then it would be too awesome.

He knew that there must be people in Wulin who liked to watch the live streaming, so he could not reveal too much of his strength. All he needed to do was to let them think that he was a fan of practicing Qi.

Looking at the time, ten minutes was about to pass. But the audience had not heard enough yet. They still did not know how to practice the art.
