Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world

"The eagle's brain, which is made of rock tissue, is indeed somewhat useful, but not very effective."

"The worst decision they made was taking in Viper. That guy wasn't easy to get along with, and his money wasn't easy to get either. Viper brought them a lot of enemies."

The analysis by the commoner was very comprehensive.

He is not a fool who would be blinded by immediate gains.

"You may not know this, but Viper has offended China. You all know what the consequences of offending China are. Moreover, among the people who came to chase Viper and his group this time, there is a very strange person. This guy is definitely not someone to be trifled with."

At this point, a solemn expression appeared on the man's face.

He seemed to be thinking of something extremely terrible.

"I wonder if you are familiar with the divination techniques of China, and also with the ancient and ancient religion of Taoism." As he continued his explanation, the crowd grew increasingly confused. They could understand if he had simply said that China was not to be trifled with, but why had he suddenly brought up religion?
Does the failure to take action this time have something to do with this so-called religion?
"You might find it hard to believe, but Taoism is not a fictional entity. I can't guarantee anything about other Taoist arts, but when it comes to divination and fortune-telling, there is absolutely scientific evidence to explain it."

It's surprising that this commoner turned out to be a bandit leader who believed in science.

According to the commoner, anyone who wants to make a living in the martial arts world needs to know a little bit of knowledge.

A brainless fool will eventually capsize in the gutter. Indeed, this commoner is quite cultured and often studies ancient books.

Their knowledge of Chinese history is exceptional.

This situation arose primarily because he was extremely interested in the cultural heritage of China. Unlike other ancient civilizations that experienced interruptions, Chinese civilization has been passed down for nearly ten thousand years. Historical records and various books passed down from ancient times...

It involves military strategy, Confucianism, the innate way, and the acquired way.

All of this seems quite mysterious and unpredictable.

It might sound a bit far-fetched, but only by truly grasping the profound principles inherent in its culture can one truly internalize it. This is a treasure trove.
A treasure mountain that is presented to the world without reservation.

However, not many people can discover its true value.

"Brother, are you out of your mind? How did you bring Taoism into this? Could it be that some of the people from China who came here this time are involved in these superstitious things? Are you sure you're not joking?"

Asa, the second-in-command of the Waves organization, was completely dumbfounded.

His older brother's words made him feel like he had no culture at all.

He didn't know much about Taoism in China, and thought it was just a deceptive trick.

"Oh, how should I put it?"

As he sighed, the man in plain clothes glanced around.

His men didn't understand what he was saying, but they didn't argue or complain. He was fairly satisfied with their behavior; at least they were obedient.

Ignorance is not terrible; what is terrible is arrogant self-righteousness.

“I always tell you to read more, read more, read more. Reading more will definitely do you no harm.”

The leader, Buyi Lang, began to educate his second brother again.

He showed no respect for his younger brother Asa, treating him like a playful child. This was a situation everyone was already used to.

The leader's strange hobbies puzzled them.

But they do not resist the position of the leader.

Who wouldn't want a reasonable and well-mannered leader?
They preferred someone like the leader, Buyi Lang, to a hot-tempered, unreasonable fool who would excitedly kill his own people at the drop of a hat; such a person gave them peace of mind.

"As expected of the eldest brother, it seems that studying is really necessary."

One of his subordinates promptly began to flatter him.

Many people chimed in, saying, "It's a pity we're not cut out for studying, otherwise we would definitely study hard. Sigh, we have a boss, so it doesn't matter if we don't study, hahaha! Anyway, we have a boss, so we'll do whatever the boss says."

"Yes, yes, if we have brains, we don't need to study."

"That makes sense, that makes perfect sense."

These guys may talk nonsense, but they have a very clear understanding of themselves.

Knowing they aren't cut out for academics, they won't blindly cultivate this interest.

They all have their own expertise, and all they need to do is follow orders.

"It's not that I don't want to study, it's just that I get a headache as soon as I see those words."

"Me too, I get dizzy and sleepy as soon as I start reading."

"Who can argue with that? Last time I was with the second-in-command, Asa... while on a mission, I remembered what the leader said, so I just bought a book randomly, and who knew I'd fall asleep during the mission." Many people shared their true feelings.

They didn't feel ashamed of it.

Instead, they all seem to enjoy talking about these things.

Faced with such foolish subordinates, Buyi Lang, the leader of the Sea Waves organization, could only shake his head helplessly.

The commoner doesn't force everyone to be like him.

This is not a realistic thing.

If everyone could do this

Wouldn't that mean everyone could be the leader? If they all studied, what would be the point of having a leader? In this respect, it's all about talent; you can't force it.

It's only because Asa is his good brother that he wouldn't bother trying to persuade him.

Buyi Lang could have easily rejected Asa's proposal outright without any reason, but what could he do when they were brothers?

Between brothers, things should be discussed openly and honestly.

To avoid my silly younger brother feeling resentful in the future.

……

“There is a person who happens to be a Taoist. You may not have heard of his name yet. But before this, his master was incredibly famous. His divination skills were so accurate that he never made a mistake.”

Then, the commoner gave a general account of what he had seen and heard.

The general idea is that Taoism is not just a name without substance.

Of course, the information he possessed was not entirely accurate.

The fact that Lin Beichen has a master is entirely fabricated by himself.

What master does he have? Lin Beichen and the master he fabricated are actually played by the same person, but no one else knows this except Lin Beichen.

Who would believe that a young man could be proficient in such profound Taoist techniques? It's too outrageous, which is why Lin Beichen fabricated such an identity.

In this way, everything seems reasonable.

"Do such people really exist in the world? I find it hard to believe."

"Unless I see it with my own eyes..." Asa, the second-in-command, was still unconvinced, but at this point he was just being stubborn. After the meeting, the two brothers dismissed everyone.

After everyone left, the two brothers chatted for a while longer.

The gist of it was that the situation was tense lately, and his men should keep a low profile. If the main force of the Chinese army were to launch a full-scale offensive, wiping out small organizations like theirs would be a piece of cake. If they didn't keep a low profile, they might find their hideout destroyed without even realizing it. That's why he held this meeting with such fanfare.

The purpose of the meeting is to break everyone down into smaller, manageable parts.

This is how they avoided this turmoil.

As it turned out, Buyi Lang's judgment was entirely correct. In the midst of this incident, many organizations were wiped out by the Chinese forces—but that's a story for another time.

……

"Ah-"

Lin Beichen sneezed for no apparent reason.

He looked around in confusion, not understanding what was going on.

He thought to himself: Which bastard is talking about me behind my back? Could it be Viper's gang? They're going to make their move tonight. If the main force from China can arrive in time, they could take them all down in one fell swoop. But it doesn't matter, it won't affect the overall situation.

Lin Beichen knew that someone was definitely talking about him behind his back.

He didn't know exactly who it was.

It could be Chen Lin, who was a little angry with him, or Ma Li, who was feeling grateful to him, or even an enemy he had fought with before. In any case, it was somewhere nearby.

"Brother Lin Beichen, are we really not going to lend a hand?"

Yu Feng hesitated for a moment before finally saying those words.

Both he and Lin Beichen knew that the Rock Organization would undergo changes tonight. In the face of such a major event, their leisurely enjoyment of the night sky made him feel somewhat uneasy.

According to his meaning,
If you could get involved, you might be surprised by the results.

Of course, Lin Beichen did not agree with Yu Feng's viewpoint.

"Let me put it this way, if we take action now, we may indeed obtain a lot of intelligence, and if we're lucky, we might even inflict heavy losses on the Rock Organization."

Lin Beichen truthfully expressed his thoughts.

"you do not say."

Yu Feng suddenly perked up, thinking that Lin Beichen had agreed with his point of view.

But Lin Beichen's next words immediately deflated him.

"We might make progress by doing this, but what's the point?"

"Do you think our elite special forces dispatched by China can't handle this third-rate force? Getting involved now would be completely unnecessary."

"Besides, we're physically unwell right now. It's good if we make progress, but what if we end up losing more than we gain? Do you think that's worthwhile? Instead of acting recklessly, we should stay here and recover properly. Ma Li can do the guiding work, so you don't need to worry about it."

As he finished speaking, he gave Yu Feng a slightly disdainful look.

After listening to Lin Beichen's analysis, Yu Feng suddenly understood.

For some reason, he felt inexplicably intellectually crushed.

With a pained expression, he looked at Lin Beichen and said, on the verge of tears, "Brother Lin Beichen, please don't do this. You're making me look useless. You know, I've lost all my confidence." Yu Feng had been quite smug before making his suggestion, thinking that he had finally shown some cleverness and would surely impress Lin Beichen.

But the result was a resounding slap in the face.

"Alright, stop telling me all this."

"I can't compare to you. If you can't let it go, then keep thinking about it."

Lin Beichen waved his hand, speaking with an air of confidence and smugness.

His meaning was crystal clear: there's nothing I can do, I'm just smart, this intellectual superiority is something I was born with. Faced with this expression, Yu Feng could only remain silent.

He actually wanted to argue back.
But he couldn't find a reason to refute it, since what Lin Beichen said seemed to be the truth. In terms of intelligence, he was indeed no match for this guy. This guy could even tell fortunes; trying to outsmart him was just asking for trouble.

"So, according to you, our next operation will go smoothly?"

Yu Feng tentatively asked this question.

In response, Lin Beichen simply replied in a pretentious tone, "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed."

He didn't want to waste his breath on Yu Feng, that blockhead; there was no point in saying more.

Meanwhile, on the lake island where rock tissue is entrenched,
There have been tremendous changes.

Originally, the leader here was Eagle; he was the head of this organization.

But now, that fact has been completely overturned. His position as leader is no longer legitimate. This outsider, Viper, has actually instigated all his men to rebel.

If someone had told him these things a few days ago, Eagle definitely wouldn't have believed it.

After being in charge of their own affairs for so many years, how could they be brought down by an outsider?
But now the facts are right in front of him, leaving him no choice but to believe them.

"You viper, you bastard! I've treated you well, and you still betrayed me! You beast, you heartless, utterly depraved, you deserve to die a horrible death, may you be struck by lightning!"

Eagle was pinned to the ground by his men, unable to move, and his weapons had been removed. At this moment, he was like a lamb to the slaughter, completely desperate.

He didn't think he would survive; he knew the snake wouldn't let him go.

This guy is too cunning; he's won over all his men without anyone noticing. And these men are all scoundrels; I've always treated them well.

But they all chose to betray.

And that bastard Scorpion!

Out of consideration for the life-saving grace he had received in the past, he directly appointed him as the third-in-command.

But this guy was two-faced, playing these underhanded tricks on him, which broke Eagle's heart, and he immediately started cursing.

"Scorpion, oh Scorpion, I trusted you because of the kindness we had shown each other, but I never expected you to betray me. How ridiculous of me, that the most basic trust between people has been lost."

The eagle spoke with tears streaming down his face.

The others, upon hearing the eagle's words, couldn't help but feel guilty.

However, the snake's next words made them feel justified again.

"We're all just trying to make money, aren't we?"

"What's the use of all you can do is make empty promises? When you're in this business, you need to talk about real benefits. Do you really think everyone is stupid? Haha, are we all out here risking our lives just so you can live a richer life?" Viper's words resonated strongly with the others.

Many people feel as if they have met a kindred spirit.

The eagles treated them fairly well on the surface, but that was only superficial. After all these years, they didn't even have enough savings to marry. What future was there in following a boss like that? If they died, the compensation wouldn't be much.

"Eagle, you're a selfish clown."

Viper launched into another speech, offering his followers a way out: "If you had treated your brothers any better, would they have chosen to betray you as their leader? You only have yourself to blame; those who do many evil deeds will surely perish."

Everyone cares about saving face. (End of Chapter)
