The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 774: The Bizarre Adventure of Shichijo Masato Part 7 ()

"I found out..." Qian Xiaoyi sighed, "You, and many other people, have a misunderstanding about how to become stronger. For example, if you think your fist is not hard enough, you will bang your fist against a stone, hoping that your fist will break the stone one day. If your leg is injured and you can't stand up, you want to rely on your willpower to force yourself to stand up, and believe that as long as you work hard enough, you can ignore those objective conditions. If you can't do it, it means you are not working hard enough."

Qian Xiaoyi has seen this kind of wishful and paranoid thinking in these three people.

Qian Xiaoyi said: "Perseverance and will are still important, but once the wrong method is used, the situation will only get worse, and this is the situation you are in now. Let me ask you, is it true that you can no longer distinguish the boundary between reality and the supernatural? Do you feel that the whole world is unreal, and strange things may happen at any time and anywhere? The world you see has become completely different from before?"

Nanajo Masato argued, "This... But isn't this natural? I have never seen those things before, and after seeing them, who would ignore their existence? After all, this world is different from what I originally thought."

Qian Xiaoyi said: "This is why psychics can always see things that ordinary people cannot see, because our cognition has been permanently changed. The more we believe in what we see, the closer we are to those things, so close that they can touch us, and we can also touch them, but this is dangerous."

Shichijo Masato still didn't understand, but Inuyama Heita and Terao Iku seemed to be thinking about something.

Qian Xiaoyi said, "You have put the cart before the horse. Everyone regards the power and ability in front of them as their own life value, and regards dead things as something they should pursue and look up to. Don't get it wrong. Whether it is magic or knowledge, they are at best just a tool, a tool used by humans. First of all, you must understand that as a psychic, yourself is the most important, and other abilities are secondary."

Nanajo Masato slowly figured out something from Qian Xiaoyi's words. He nodded and said, "I understand. What you mean is that we pursue those external things too much and ignore our original consciousness. In this way, we will be affected by those external things and lose ourselves?"

"Finally, there's someone who understands." Qian Xiaoyi sighed. It's not that he wants to beat around the bush, but there are certain truths that the other party won't be able to understand if you just tell them out loud. You have to let them figure it out themselves, and then they will truly integrate it into their own behavior.

Terao Yu turned around, touched his face in front of the shop window, and said, "After hearing what Teacher Qian said... I do feel a little weird. This period of time is like a dream, it doesn't feel real at all, even dark circles and bags under my eyes appear..."

Nanajo Masato complained, "With your gothic makeup, you can't see any eye bags or dark circles, right?"

Terao Yu retorted: "What do you know? Only if I dress like this will customers believe that I am a sorcerer and not some thug who is out to cheat people out of their money."

"You..." Qian Xiaoyi frowned and asked, "Did Master Gui Teng suggest you do this?"

Terao Yu was surprised and said, "As expected of a psychic detective! Can you even deduce this?"

"Ah... forget it..." Qian Xiaoyi shook his head. To be honest, this method was indeed useful. King Kong also got the business after Master Gui Teng suggested it. Although Gui Teng Longguang's ability to remove ghosts was not good, he was quite insightful in this aspect.

Inuyama Heita asked: "So what should we do next?"

"Find yourself," Qian Xiaoyi said. "Find your place in this world and stay true to yourself."

Nanajo Masato was helpless: "Even if you say so, it's hard to do it easily, right? Some people have never done something as philosophical as this in their entire lives."

"No, my meaning is very clear. It's just the surface meaning." Qian Xiaoyi took out three purple talismans and said, "Next, each of you must take this talisman. It will enhance your inspiration again and put you into a strange state. Then, you have to go to the fast food restaurant I designated and buy a portion of French fries and bring it back to me. In this way, your training will be completed." "It sounds... too simple?" Nanajo Masato took the purple talisman and looked at it, a little confused.

Qian Xiaoyi smiled and said nothing.

"Purple talisman..." Inuyama Heita broke out in a cold sweat. He had seen Qian Xiaoyi use this purple talisman several times before. All of them were powerful props, but they also had powerful side effects. Only he understood that this special training would not be easy at all.

Terao Yu was full of confidence: "Just buying French fries, right? Wait, Mr. Qian, I will bring you the hot French fries fresh out of the oven!"

Qian Xiaoyi smiled and said, "Then I'll be waiting. Come on."

The three of them followed Qian Xiaoyi's instructions and stuck the talismans on their backs under their clothes. The talismans were stuck with a strange glue that could not be torn off without great force.

"I've already told you where you're going." Qian Xiaoyi said, "Because Zhengren is the weakest, he only needs to walk across one street. The other two's destinations are farther away. If you can't bear it, you can tear off the talisman, but that will count as a failure, okay?"

"no problem."

"learn."

"Let's get started! Teacher Qian."

Qian Xiaoyi nodded, made a hand gesture, and began to chant a spell.

The spell entered the ears of the three people, causing their hearts to palpitate. The purple talisman stuck on their backs seemed to emit a cold power, making them feel a little cold.

"Command!" The next second after Qian Xiaoyi finished chanting the spell, the three psychics simultaneously felt that the whole world had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The scene in their eyes did not change, but they themselves changed. In their own eyes, they seemed to be out of tune with the whole world. A strange feeling of alienation and loneliness enveloped them. From this moment on, they became ghosts wandering in the world without any worries.

The three of them looked at each other and found that they were so clearly and strangely connected. They could easily feel the difference between themselves and others. The strange looks of the passers-by around them stung them. The constant noisy sounds poured into their ears, the footsteps, the voices, the sounds of cars driving... all became a kind of torture.

"Let's get started, everyone." Qian Xiaoyi said, "Go find yourself, and don't forget my fries."
