The clear light outside the window mixed with the fragrance of rice and water gently scattered into the room, making the dark sandalwood floor seem to be shrouded in a layer of moisture. The slightly yellow water in the small porcelain cup on the tea table rippled with extremely thin ripples. Xu Le mustered up his courage and stiffened his neck to say these few words, making the air even more humid, actually making people feel a little difficult to breathe.
"She didn't kill you, because she can't kill you … … this is a very good answer."
The expression on the old face of the god of war Li Pifu did not change at all. He repeated Xu Le's answer, a trace of a smile appeared on his face, and continued to say: "But you, this little guy, are still only suitable to do things with your fists and feet, your ability to speak is not very strong. You want to counterattack so soon, are you worried that this old man will ask you some secrets that you can't answer?"
Xu Le's fists were tightly clenched at his waist, and his lips were dry from nervousness. The ordinary skinny old man beside him, with just a casual word, no, even if he didn't say anything, he would be able to crush him to the ground with his protruding index finger, and never be able to rise again.
This old man is the real invincible god of war, once on the battlefield to assassinate the emperor of the Empire, once with a slap of the hand he slapped the uncle into a shadow for half of his life. In the face of such a terrifying big figure, even if he has made progress in the Empire in the past year, and his confidence has skyrocketed, but he still can't have the slightest thought of challenging or underestimating him.
But there are a lot of words that he must say, just like the old man's smile and ridicule, both of them have secrets, but they don't know how deep the fear of each other's secrets are.
So he continued to speak.
"The things that uncle taught me when I was young, and the things that you and Madman Li know, if I'm not wrong, should be the secret of the Empire's royal family, Yata Zhen Qi. I don't understand, even if you and uncle's teacher is the great teacher from the Empire's mysterious family, but why is the Yata Zhen Qi that only the Empire's royal family can learn, appearing in the Li family's body? "
"First, the ability that this old body of mine possesses, does indeed originate from the Empire's royal family's Yata Zhen Qi, although I have always thought that this little thing called Zhen Qi is more appropriate to use the word overbearing to describe it."
Li Pifu's flowery eyebrows slightly raised, the gaze in his old eyes contained a kind of extreme tranquility, some kind of reminiscence, but the cup seemed to have been long ago. The old man slowly stretched out a finger and pointed at the teacup on the table. The yellow tea in the small porcelain cup suddenly calmed down, just like his eyes at this moment.
"Second, many years ago, I had the same question as you, many years ago. After three years of secret research with the Federal Academy of Science, we came to a general conclusion, the so-called Zhen Qi is probably a kind of wave band emission similar to biological radiation, the monitoring equipment of the Academy of Science can capture this kind of radiation, but there is no way to analyze what it is exactly."
Li Pifu slowly stretched out a second finger, calmly recounting the old news from many years ago, "80 years ago, I believe that both your teacher and I had many doubts about this question, in the end, it could only be attributed to the difference in physical constitution, or to be more mysterious, it was probably a random choice made by the creator, an extremely small number of people have a certain kind of ability, can learn and master this kind of method."
"The Lees of Philadelphia have no blood relationship with the imperial family, if you insist on doubting this point, you might as well think about your own background."
The old man looked at Xu Le with a smile, and said, "The creator chose the Huai family of the Left Sky Star Region, that is why they can ascend to the throne, not because they are the imperial family of the empire, that is why they naturally have this kind of ability. As a citizen of the Federation, I firmly ridicule any kind of natural talent of the monarchy … in the end, whether or not you can learn the Yata Zhen Qi is only related to luck."
Xu Le silently listened to the military god's explanation, carefully not missing a single word, but his eyes were fixed on the teacup on the table, because he discovered a very strange and magical scene.
Previously, when Li Pifu stretched out a finger, the tea in the porcelain cup suddenly became tranquil and smooth like a mirror, but when the old man stretched out a second finger shakily, the tea in the porcelain cup suddenly began to boil and bubble like a boiling spring, in the small teacup, there was actually a hint of a storm!
Xu Le's pupils constricted, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "The release of Zhen Qi … Huai Caoshi said that it was useless."
"It seems that you have also reached this step." The old man chuckled, the two fingers in the air were as motionless as mountains, but his old voice was full of emotions, "It seems that the little girl of the Huai family, who is known as a genius, is still a little lacking in understanding these little things."
Xu Le held the edge of the tea table with both hands, staring at the storm in the small teacup, waiting for the military god's next words.
"The little thing called Zhen Qi can be divided into two stages. One is inside the body, and the other is outside. It is easy to understand inside the body, but what is outside outside?"
"It is resonance. It is to resonate with the existence of the same cause in nature, and thereby control it. If the string wave is called dog shit, then when the dog shit in our body is released and comes into contact with the dog shit in the natural environment, the two will meet happily and become one, and you will be able to control countless dog shit around you."
"Being able to control enough dog shit is a very terrifying thing in battle. You just said that Huai Caoshi did not care about it, but that is because there is too little dog shit in the natural environment. "
"I have always had an idea." Li Pifu smiled as he looked at the teacup under his fingers, and said, "The person who invented this method countless years ago must have lived in a world with infinite dog shit. At that time, the fighters could set off a dog shit storm with a casual flick of their sleeves or a finger, killing countless people … It was really a happy dog shit world."
Xu Le felt very embarrassed, because it was hard for him to imagine that the military god, who had a supreme position in the Federation and was revered by all people, would be like a rude street vendor who kept saying the word dog shit. Although this metaphor was easy to understand, and it made it easy for him to understand the deeper meaning of Yata Zhen Qi, it still felt strange.
"Regarding the release of Zhen Qi, I have to admit that your teacher, my brother, is indeed a genius that no one can reach. In the entire universe, including the royal family of Huai in the Left Sky Galaxy, he is probably the only one who can find a way to connect the Zhen Qi in the body with the information transmission in the mecha."
"Although I have always thought that this kind of marionette-style mecha control method is only suitable for the stage, and does not have any real help in combat, but … in the end, he has done something that no one else can do, or even think about."
A scene from many years ago appeared in Xu Le's mind very naturally. In the dusky twilight of Donglin, on the green hills, an uncle was twisting his perky buttocks. His fingers were as fast as lightning as they caressed the huge M52 mech. The mech trembled under his fingers, completely under his control.
"This is indeed a miraculous thing." He sighed sincerely. "In the last period before I escaped from the Empire, I was surrounded by several Wolf Fang mecha of the Empire. I also wanted to try this method, but I found that I could not even get a clue."
"In the future, when you don't need to fight, you can try more." Li Pifu looked at him gently. "You have already proven that you have a talent for mecha repair that is not inferior to his. Now, your Zhen Qi cultivation is on the right path. With the combination of the two, you are probably the only young person who can hope to copy his method."
"Your evaluation is too high." Xu Le replied shamefully.
"No, it is us old guys who have raised the flag too high." The old man coughed softly and said hoarsely, "Without us as a comparison, in any period of the Federation's history, young people like you and Li Feng would definitely be more dazzling than you are now."
His old hand gently stroked his heaving chest. Under his brown-dotted skin were some blue veins that had lost some elasticity. After a moment of rest, Li Pifu slowly extended his third finger, the tip of his thumb.
"Now, answer the third question."
"Yes, our teacher is the former Great Teacher of the Empire. In other words, the Lees of Philadelphia's generation in the Federation for the past few decades were all taught by our teacher."
After saying this, Li Pifu casually turned his three fingers in the air and then withdrew them. He tidied up the old pajamas on his body, stood up, and walked out of the room.
Looking at the old man's weary back, Xu Le bounced his knees and stood up. For some reason, he was absent-minded. Although he had already confirmed this before, hearing the Federation's Military God admit that his teacher was from the Empire still shocked him again. If the people of the Federation knew this secret, what kind of expression would they have? How many glasses would fall to the ground? How many people would be disappointed, angry, frustrated, or even inexplicably sad?
"Your teacher is a genius, but your teacher's teacher is actually even more of a genius." Li Pifu slowly walked to the door, bent over to put on his shoes, and said calmly, "He has a very feminine name, Hua Jieyu."
Xu Le quickly stepped forward and held the old man's withered arm.
"Although he is our teacher, he is not much older than us." The old man continued to recall in a low voice, "That year, we were preparing for the Constitutional Calendar Ceremony. The whole Philadelphia was very lively. Us two brothers thought it was too noisy, so we secretly sneaked into the core wildlife reserve deep in the mountains. When your teacher was six years old, we had already found out that there was a problem with the surveillance there, so we always treated that place as the most secretive playground."
"When we first saw Hua Jieyu, we didn't know that he was from the Empire, and we didn't expect that he would become our teacher. At that time, he was covered in dust, carrying a big backpack that seemed to contain infinite treasures, like a traveler who mistakenly arrived in Philadelphia on a spaceship … His black eyes were full of curiosity for new things, and they turned very fast. "
"Yes, his black eyes turned very fast, just like the moving light curtain on the spaceship."
Li Pifu narrowed his eyes as he recalled the scene that had been covered in dust for a long time. He was unusually calm.
Xu Le helped the old man walk slowly in the corridor, feeling a little complicated.
In the secluded room behind the old man and the young man, the small porcelain cup on the table was spinning rapidly. Although the three fingers that seemed to have magical power had already calmly retracted, there seemed to be some kind of magical power that was still rippling in the air, urging the porcelain cup to spin faster and faster … Finally, the teacup silently broke into pieces, but the light yellow tea inside did not spill out at all. Instead, it melted into a ball of water and spun very fast, just like the curious eyes of the traveler.
