Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang.

When the ball lightning entered the chair, the transparent outline of the chair disappeared and the chair became empty.

And when the ball lightning slowly came out of the chair, the transparent outline of the chair reappeared.

After the ball lightning completely passed through, the transparent chair quickly became solid, but it was grayish white.

The ball of lightning circled in the air and returned to Zhang Zhiwei's hand like a lantern pulled by an invisible thread.

Zhang Jingqing's sight followed the ball of lightning. He stared at the thunder ball in Zhang Zhiwei's palm, which was initially harmless to humans and animals, and a strong sense of disobedience arose in his heart.

In this gentle and soft light, there is a dormant heat that is enough to melt iron and burn gold. In the quiet suspension, there is an undercurrent of tremendous energy. I can't understand it. I really can't understand it.

Then he turned his gaze to the chair that had turned into ashes. Although the chair still remained in its original state, it would suddenly collapse and turn into a pile of white ashes at the slightest disturbance.

"What happened just now?" Zhang Jingqing said, "I noticed that when the ball lightning touched the chair, the chair first became transparent, then disappeared completely. When the ball lightning passed through, the ball lightning had a transparent outline again, and then quickly filled up and turned into a gray-white chair."

Zhang Zhiwei looked around, found a chair to sit down, thought for a moment, and said:

"Before, I was mostly paying attention to the internal fluctuations when the ball lightning touched objects, and I paid less attention to external objects. I didn't notice this scene. Master, what do you think?"

"It's hard for me to explain this clearly. I can only say that I have some clues!" said Zhang Jingqing.

"What clue is that, Master? Tell me about it!" Zhang Zhiwei asked hurriedly. Actually, he had some clues, but he didn't know how to describe it.

Zhang Jingqing thought for a moment and said, "This ball lightning you made is very special. It has far exceeded the scope of lightning."

Zhang Zhiwei nodded. He knew this without his master telling him.

Zhang Jingqing continued, "You are quite accomplished in numerology, even better than me. You should know that everything in the world cannot escape the word change."

"In the situation just now, when the ball lightning collided with the chair, it affected the changes of the chair and changed it into its most original form, or another form. How can I describe this form..."

Zhang Jingqing paused, stretched out his finger and pointed. Golden light spread from his fingertips, dyeing the ground golden inch by inch.

"Master, what are you doing?" Zhang Zhiwei was puzzled.

"Watch carefully!"

Zhang Jingqing stretched out his hand and pointed. Golden light spread from his fingertips, taking shape with Qi, and formed a golden ball of light in front of him that was exactly the same as the ball lightning.

But unlike ball lightning, this golden ball of light is surrounded by circles of golden ripples like water waves.

Afterwards, Zhang Jingqing stretched out his hand again, and a chair made of golden light appeared in front of him. Golden ripples were also emitted around the chair, but the speed of the emission was not as fast as the golden light ball.

Zhang Zhiwei watched attentively. From the moment his master made the two golden models and added ripple effects to them, he roughly understood his master's ideas.

Zhang Jingqing just waved his hand, and the two golden models began to approach each other at a very slow speed. Before they collided, the ripples on both sides began to affect each other.

The ripples of the golden sphere were bigger, faster and denser, while the ripples of the golden chair were small and slow. As soon as they came into contact, they were offset and assimilated by the ripples of the golden sphere.

As the golden sphere continued to move forward, more and more ripples of the golden chair were assimilated.

When the two collided, the ripples emitted by the golden chair were almost completely assimilated by the ripples of the golden sphere. Only the ripples of the golden sphere remained on the field. In the ripples, the golden chair was almost invisible.

It was not until the golden sphere continued to move forward and separated from the golden chair that the golden chair reappeared.

At this time, the golden chair, although only had its shape, had no ripples around it.

This concludes the drill.

Zhang Jingqing pointed at the golden chair and said:

"In my opinion, the collision between the ball lightning and the chair just now was like this. The changes in the ball lightning affected the changes in the chair."

"This ball lightning may not seem to have any temperature, but the energy inside it is extremely intense. Being swept up by its changes, it is forced to change in the same way as the ball lightning. The material of the chair simply cannot withstand it."

"Or rather, nothing in this world can bear it."

"Master, what you said makes sense!" Zhang Zhiwei nodded. He also knew that the energy inside the ball lightning was very strong, but he was not a computer and could not calculate the specific temperature.

However, he knew something about ball lightning in nature, whose internal energy density was as high as 20,000 to 30,000 joules per cubic centimeter.

Even the energy density of TNT is only 2,000 joules per cubic centimeter. In other words, although the surface of ball lightning is cold, its internal temperature is over 10,000 degrees.

Of course, the extremely high internal temperature is only one of the insignificant characteristics of ball lightning. Compared with this, Zhang Zhiwei attaches more importance to the ability to influence changes.

"What do you want to say?" Zhang Jingqing said, "I think you seem to have your own ideas!"

"My idea is similar to Master's!" Zhang Zhiwei said, pointing at the chair.

His master's experiment made him think of the wave-particle duality of matter. In that brief moment of contact, the chair was affected by the ball lightning, exhibiting the properties of waves and causing resonance.

In resonance, the two become one, and the chair wave receives the energy released by the ball lightning. When the ball lightning leaves, the chair regains its particle properties and re-aggregates into a solid entity.

During this process, when the chair was attacked by ball lightning, it showed a wave state, and did not change at the same time as everything around it.

Therefore, the energy of ball lightning naturally has no effect on anything around it.

"So you agree with this?" Zhang Jingqing said with a smile.

"I naturally agree with what Master said!" Zhang Zhiwei said quickly: "Master can think clearly so quickly, he is really a genius!"

"I also got some inspiration from somewhere to come up with this idea!" said Zhang Jingqing.

"Got inspired?" Zhang Zhiwei asked, "Did the Heavenly Master save you?"

Zhang Jingqing glanced at Zhang Zhiwei unhappily, pointed at the bookcase that was half burned by Zhang Zhiwei, and said:

"I saw it in the newspapers you burned!" "There's this in the newspaper?" Zhang Jingqing was a little shocked. He thought that what he burned were some messy Chinese news.

Zhang Jingqing said, "Occasionally there are some academic periodicals in it. Westerners are still capable. My idea just now was inspired by an article published by a man named Einstein. That article is a bit old, probably about 10 to 20 years ago."

Einstein... Zhang Zhiwei imagined the other person's face and said in confusion, "Master, how come you have Western newspapers?"

Zhang Jingqing said, "Have you forgotten the Church of the Immaculate Conception at the foot of Mount Longhu?"

"Of course I haven't forgotten!" said Zhang Zhiwei.

The Church of the Immaculate Conception belongs to the Catholic Church and is managed by the Pope. It was built in the tenth year of the Tongzhi reign, almost sixty years ago. It is located at the east end of Shangqing Town.

In later words, Taoism is a very Buddhist religion, but there was actually a pagan church under its ancestral temple. If it were another religion, it would have been demolished in the name of trying heretics and the pagans would have been burned to death.

But Taoism insisted on accepting it. After all, the God Worshipping Society did a lot of good things when it first came into being.

Zhang Zhiwei had been to this church before. It is in Gothic style, with a red brick structure and stained glass windows. The gate tower is engraved with the couplet "She is the most virtuous among all heroes in ancient and modern times, and her position is superior to all saints as the Queen Mother of Heaven and Earth."

The whole church is neither Chinese nor Western. The wings of the angels on the church murals are decorated with Taoist clouds. The layout of the backyard is in line with the Eight Diagrams and Earthly Branches. It is said that when it was first built, a Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain was invited to check the Feng Shui.

It is said that in the early years, there was a team of masters from the Vatican in the church who were responsible for preaching and even had the idea of ​​annexing Taoism. However, after discovering that it was impossible to succeed, they gave up the plan and all the masters returned to the Vatican.

Even this church has been abandoned. The remaining clergy are all locals, and some are even Taoists from Longhu Mountain. They serve as priests in the church and as Taoist priests in the Tianshi Temple.

At the end of each year, they would pretend to write a report and send it to the Vatican through some channels.

After receiving it, the Holy See will give a formal reward and then allocate a sum of money.

This tacit understanding has lasted for decades.

When Zhang Zhiwei heard it for the first time, he was very surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, it was not difficult to understand. It only takes a small amount of money to leave a stronghold at the door of the enemy's base camp, and there are people to maintain it. Why not do it?
Although they have no idea for the time being, what if the situation changes in the future? After all, Shenzhou is unstable now. If it really collapses completely and all forces are reshuffled, they may have a chance to make a comeback.

Zhang Jingqing continued, "When I was young, I was good friends with a nun from the Vatican who was in charge of charity."

"During the process of our acquaintance, she taught me a lot of Western knowledge. It was for this reason that I chose to study at the Tongwenguan in Beijing..."

Zhang Jingqing sighed about the past and suddenly felt a pang in his heart. How could he tell such things to Zhang Zhiwei, a big mouth? If he told him, wouldn't it be the same as telling everyone in Longhu Mountain?
He quickly shut up, but it was too late. Zhang Zhiwei became very curious and asked:
"Master, which nun is it? I don't know anything about it."

Zhang Jingqing kept silent and got down to business.

But Zhang Zhiwei was in no mood to listen to anything serious, so he continued to ask questions. Seeing that his master didn't say anything, he boldly threatened:

"Master, I am very curious. If you don't tell me, it will be hard for me not to imagine further. If I am wrong and cause any misunderstanding, that would be terrible!"

"You dare!" Zhang Jingqing glared at him, "If you keep gossiping, I'll send you a flying sword!"

Zhang Zhiwei shrank his neck when he was yelled at, and stammered, "Master, if you tell me, there will be no misunderstanding, right?"

Zhang Jingqing took a deep breath, and in order not to lose face, he explained:
"Later, the Catholic Church withdrew its members, and my good friend naturally followed them back. However, we have kept in touch through letters over the years. She would occasionally send me some Western books and newspapers through the church's communication channels, but other than that, there was nothing else!"

"I see!"

Zhang Zhiwei was a little disappointed that no bloody plot happened.

Zhang Jingqing looked at Zhang Zhiwei's expression, and the veins on his forehead wrinkled into the shape of a "井" character. He knew what this evil beast was thinking without having to guess.

In order to prevent Zhang Zhiwei from continuing, Zhang Jingqing kicked Zhang Zhiwei out to warn him not to talk nonsense, otherwise he would be in trouble.

Seeing that his master was angry, Zhang Zhiwei ran away from the Zhenren Hall quickly with the ball of lightning.

After leaving the Zhenren Palace, Zhang Zhiwei's smile faded and he looked at the ball of lightning in his hand.

For this thing, the internal temperature is secondary, the most important thing is its ability to influence the changes of all things.

"Yin and Yang balance, perfect fusion!"

Zhang Zhiwei watched for a while and then took a very risky action. He submerged his consciousness into the spherical lightning to intuitively feel the changes in it.

Soon, he discovered that the yin-yang balance of the ball lightning actually contained the power of the five elements. Gold, fire, water and wood were slowly rotating around the earth, forming a Tai Chi circular pattern.

"Soil? Why is there soil?"

Zhang Zhiwei was surprised. He had not cultivated the spleen and earth Qi, so why was there earth Qi in the purple sky divine thunder which was formed by the gathering of the four Qi?
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Zhiwei suddenly had a vague answer in his mind.

Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. In a sense, Yin and Yang and the Five Elements correspond to each other.

Among the five elements, gold and fire correspond to yang, wood and water correspond to yin, and earth is the key to the combination of yin and yang.

Although I have not practiced the spleen and earth Qi of the Five Thunders Method, the five elements are mutually generated and restrained, and I already have four of the elements. It is not surprising that I was born out of the earth through the relationship of generation and restraint.

Moreover, not practicing spleen and earth qi does not mean that there is no earth element in the five elements of one's body.

This is actually not difficult to understand. Just like the Yang Five Thunders and the Yin Five Thunders, they are essentially the result of the mutual reaction between the yin and yang poles.

Yin and Yang correspond to the Five Elements, so even if the Yin Five Thunders are formed by the two Qi of water and wood, when it constructs a Yin and Yang structure, a smaller Five Elements will automatically be separated within this structure. This is the law.

It can be said that whether it is Yin Wu Lei or Yang Wu Lei, they are small but have all the necessary organs.

This is also the reason why Yin Five Thunders and Yang Five Thunders are not called Yin Two Thunders and Yang Two Thunders, and it is also the reason why Zhang Jingqing denied Zhang Zhiwei's naming of the Four Thunders Orthodox Method.

His current spherical lightning is a derivative of the Tai Chi circular effect created by combining the yin and yang within it.

"Yin and Yang are arranged in a Tai Chi circle, and when divided into smaller units, it means that the five elements are arranged in a Tai Chi circle. Can I use the earth qi inside to reversely infer and see if I can create a method to cultivate spleen and earth qi?"

This thought suddenly popped up in Zhang Zhiwei's mind. (End of this chapter)
