The Son of Finance of the Great Age

  Chapter 34 Qigong Master

I don’t know since when, news of supernatural powers has spread everywhere in China, whether it’s in the official newspapers or the irregular publications that sell at the train station for one yuan each. All kinds of inconceivable phenomena such as ear literacy, seeing the day and time, etc. "suddenly bloom like pear blossoms overnight", scattered around everyone.

   What is even more unbelievable is that the government actually established a "Huaxia Human Body Science Research Association", most of whom are veteran cadres in the army, and the spiritual leader of the entire "special function" research was the most famous scientist Qian Xueshen at that time.

  This great scientist surnamed Qian is more interested in political movements than scientific research. He even found a theoretical basis for a certain Yuejin, saying that it is possible to produce ten thousand catties of grain per mu. As the saying goes, under the dazzling halo, what is hidden is really unknown.

In fact, "supernatural powers" emerged as early as the 1970s. At that time, a child named Tang Yu in Shuchuan claimed to be able to "distinguish colors and read characters with ears". In the twenty-five tests, Tang Yu peeked at the note nineteen times, failed to peek at the note six times, and refused to identify it, so he was found to be fraudulent.

So "Huaxia Daily" wrote an article to cool down "supernatural powers" under the instruction of high-level officials. The counterattack article reversed the situation at once. After all, it was published in a Hong Kong newspaper and had "international influence", so Tang Yu's case was once again recognized as true.

  The two sides began a twenty-year battle.

  Actually, at that time, the reform and opening up had just begun, and everyone was still talking about the standard of truth. It was impossible to suppress this kind of pseudo-scientific stuff all at once, not to mention the support of many old generals.

With the passage of time, the craze for "supernatural powers" has gradually turned into a craze for "qigong", and a large number of "masters" have been born. Even in Hong Kong movies, there are jokes alluding to the craze for qigong in the mainland. In the "God" series, there is such a character, which is said to be Zhang Baocheng, a master with supernatural powers from the Mainland, whose prototype is Zhang Baosheng, who was famous at that time.

  In a certain place in the west of Jiangxi, there is also such a qigong master. It is said that his medical skills are superb.

   On this day, Zhong Shi was still playing at home when he heard a burst of noise outside the fence. Although the voice of the speaker was low, there was an uncontrollable excitement in it. And every time he finished a sentence, there was a low gasping exclamation, although the voice was small, it couldn't stand the crowd.

Zhong Shi was so surprised that he couldn't help climbing up the wall to look outside, and he saw Brother Zhang from the next door talking to a large group of villagers with joy: "That Master Wang Lin chopped off the snake's head with a single knife, and the snake twisted a few times. It didn’t move, and it died after a while. At this time, the master picked up a basin, covered the dead snake, and then performed kung fu. After a while, guess what happened, the snake’s head was connected, and it was still alive. , Hissing and sticking out his tongue straight at people!"

   "Really? Did you see it with your own eyes?" A villager's eyes were full of disbelief.

   "It's still fake, there's blood on the ground! I saw with my own eyes that the snake with its severed head came back to life, and it's exactly the same as before. It's amazing!" Zhang Xiaowu said with spit. In fact, he didn't see it with his own eyes, but he heard it from someone, and later he took it as if he saw it with his own eyes.

   "Also, Master Wang Lin is going to stay in our county for a while. If someone has some kind of illness, go to the county to see him. Maybe all illnesses will be cured with just this one!"

  In the end, Zhang Xiaowu stopped bragging and delivered the most important message.

  The people around him listened, glanced at each other, and then left quickly, as if they might not be able to catch up if it was too late. Zhong Shi, who was watching vigorously on the top of the wall, shook his head helplessly, then shrank back and continued to play with the little yellow dog.

After three years of getting along, the little yellow dog has completely regarded Zhong Shi as a member of the family, and with the improvement of the quality of life, the little yellow dog has grown much taller and stronger than ordinary dogs, which makes Zhong Shi Many people in the village were amazed.

  In the evening, Zhong Jianjun finished his day’s work and returned home exhausted. Liu Lan, who had been waiting at home early, hurriedly served meals, and the family ate and chatted in the courtyard.

   "After this summer, will you go to school?" Zhong Jianjun wiped the sweat from his face and asked Zhong Shi a little uncertainly.

  For this supernatural son, he sometimes even wonders if he is his own. He didn't go to school because his mind was a little confused before, so how could he suddenly become so smart now?

  Although I don’t know exactly what Zhong Shi does every time he goes to Hong Kong, but judging from the daily changes in his home, he knows that Zhong Shi definitely does not go aimlessly.

  As for how much money Zhong Shi has now, he doesn't even know. All he knew was that whenever he was about to go out to work, Zhong Shi would whisper in his ear: "Our family is rich now, so you can rest at home!" If people don't find something to do, I'm afraid they will go crazy. Besides, how much money can this kid have?

  What Zhong Jianjun doesn't know is that Zhong Shi's current net worth is beyond what he can earn even if he works all his life.

   Regarding the matter of letting Zhong Shi go to school, Zhong Jianjun had already considered it very clearly, and discussed it with Liu Lan several times in private. They always believed that it was not good for Zhong Shi to play at home for a long time. It's just that because of Zhong Yi's bad idea, he didn't bring it up so early. But now it's been 1987, and it's not a solution for such a big child not to go to school.

   "Okay!" To Zhong Jianjun's surprise, Zhong Shi agreed immediately.

In fact, Zhong Shi has also considered whether he should learn from the beginning again. The basic education in China is very systematic, and it is much more difficult than the basic education in other countries. However, for a reborn person like him, it is not difficult. .

   It's just that going to school takes a lot of time for him. He has to think carefully about how to strike a balance between making money and going to school.

   "..." Zhong Jianjun didn't expect Zhong Shi to agree so readily, and the rhetoric he had thought up before was useless for a while.

   "I heard that a qigong master came to the county. Do we have time to go and see it?" Zhong Jianjun said in a discussing tone after being silent for a long time. "It is said that this qigong master is so powerful that he can even pick up a snake with a severed head."

   "So powerful? Doesn't it mean that the dead can be revived?" Liu Lan shook her hand, and the porridge in the bowl almost spilled out.

   "Dad, Mom, why do you believe this?" Zhong Shi curled his lips in disdain, and threw a piece of fat into the air. The little yellow dog who had been waiting for a long time jumped up and swallowed the fat.

For this kind of trick, he and the little yellow dog have played countless times. At the beginning, Liu Lan scolded him a few times, saying that he was a prodigal son, but later the family got a little tired of eating fat, so Liu Lan also Let him go.

"The pork sellers in the town are really smart. No matter how you cut the meat, you have to bring a large piece of fat with you. Isn't this a waste of money!" Although Liu Lan didn't say anything, she secretly scolded the pork seller in her heart. She naturally defended her son.

"Hey, don't you believe me. I heard that there are many people who have gone there. If you think it's true, how can so many people believe it?" But when he maintained his dignity as a father.

   "Well, Dad, Mom, I will show you a magic trick!"

   Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, Zhong Shi simply put down the bowl and chopsticks, took out a coin from his body, gestured dazzledly with both hands for a long time, then closed his hands, and asked, "Dad, Mom, who do you think my money is in?"

   "Little trick." Zhong Jianjun and Liu Lan looked at each other and smiled, both guessing what the other was thinking. Zhong Jianjun pointed to his left hand, and Liu Lan pointed to his right hand. They watched for a long time, and the coins had been changing back and forth between Zhong Shi's left and right hands, and they must be between his two hands.

   "Really?" Zhong Shi opened his left and right hands at the same time, both hands were empty, and there was no trace of the coin. He showed the back of his hand to the two of them again, and it was also empty.

   "Hey, where did the money go?" Zhong Jianjun stared at Zhong Shi's hands, looked back and forth several times, but couldn't see where the money was hidden.

   "Hey, let me show you another magic trick!" Zhong Shi smiled triumphantly, and took out a newspaper, which was the "Huaxia Daily" from the day before yesterday.

  Zhong Shi folded the newspaper left and right, then tore it up under the eyes of Zhong Jianjun and his wife, and with a shake of his hand, an intact newspaper suddenly appeared in front of them.

   "Oops, this... this..."

   This really shocked Zhong Jianjun and Liu Lan. They took the newspaper and read it over and over for a long time, but they didn't know what they were thinking.

   "How about it, isn't it similar to the rebirth of a broken snake?" Zhong Shi looked at the two people who were confused, and said proudly.

   "It looks a bit similar, but this newspaper doesn't seem to be the one you tore up before?" Zhong Jianjun looked at the date on the front page and said thoughtfully.

"Dad is really smart. In fact, these are two newspapers. I hid this newspaper in the previous newspaper according to a special folding method. After tearing it up and shaking it, this intact newspaper came out!" Zhong Shi Thumbs up.

   "You mean, the master hid the dead snake and replaced it with a more similar live snake?" Liu Lan said after being silent for a long time.

   "Oh, mom, you're much smarter than my dad!" Zhong Shi stretched out a tender white hand, and just like that swung into the void, a shiny white coin appeared in his hand out of thin air.
