Zhongyue muttered to himself like this, and it took a long time before he opened his eyes, but he looked refreshed. The demons and confusion in his heart that had not yet begun to brew also disappeared at this moment.
At this moment, Zhongyue's "human heart" became even purer.
Chapter 234: "Kung Fu" has come to an end, and the second brother came to visit?
"We still need to reshoot some of the scenes, especially the last fight scene. There were some places where everyone evacuated quickly and we didn't get to shoot them. It looks like we'll have to do it again a few times."
"Some scenes must be filmed in Xi's painting, but it's not a big deal. We will be able to deliver it within half a month. Then you can hand it over to the Emperor of Dayan, Old Wei."
Two days had passed since Chen Qi used the Tathagata Palm to drive away his second brother and helped Huai Tianpei resolve his inner demons. During this time, after he showed off his strength in the movie "Kung Fu", almost everyone's views on Chen Qi had quietly changed...
For example, Xing Xiong, Lin Yuxia and Shi Huaiya, these girls who had got along very well with him when they were filming "Young and Dangerous" in Longmen, after Chen Qi performed the Tathagata Palm, they had a deep awe in their daily words towards his.
It was as if their relationship had suddenly changed from peers to seniors and juniors. Chen Qi had expected this change. Among peers, although everyone's martial arts skills varied, they were generally not much different. Even the most talented sisters, Chen Huijie and Tallulah, were not strong enough to make others in awe.
However, this time, whether it was the fact that his identity had long been regarded as a "giant beast", or Chen Qi's display of strength that was beyond everyone's comprehension, or his understanding of martial arts, he was completely separated from his peers.
Fortunately, after finishing the filming and returning to a life where he didn't need to display his fighting power, Chen Qi got along with everyone for a few days, and everyone gradually got used to it again. Seeing that Chen Qi's attitude had not changed at all, everyone also returned to their previous state.
"Boy...you really surprised all of us. You gave us a big surprise."
Wei Yanwu and Wen Yue, who were still in the recovery period, also sat in their seats in their own mansions. They both returned to their usual attire, but Wei Yanwu's attitude towards Chen Qi also changed from scrutiny and a little dissatisfaction in the beginning to recognition and trust because of this incident.
The old judge the young, and one can often tell a person's character from a few small things. And this time, Chen Qi, who returned from his travels, not only showed his achievements, but also did a big thing to prove his character and ability.
So, what did Wei Yanwu and his wife have to worry about regarding their nephew-in-law? Obviously, he was impeccable.
"You helped Huai Wu Chi break his inner demons and eliminated the crisis at Longmen. My husband and I also gained peerless martial arts because of you, and successfully passed the test that my brother gave us."
"You are such a perfect guy, it's really hard to find fault with you... We feel relieved that Xiaota is following you."
As Wei Yanwu spoke, he also put away his pipe. At this moment, after a slight pause, Tallulah immediately showed a somewhat happy expression and asked Wei Yanwu:
"Old Wei, are you saying... that you support us?"
"...There are some things that I cannot decide for myself. After all, your mother's bloodline must be related to the Great Yan Imperial Family." Wei Yanwu also showed a helpless smile on his face and said to the two of them:
"But, as your uncle, Xiaota, your mother's elder brother, and your father's sworn brother, I personally support you."
"Of course, you don't need the support of an old man like me. I have done too many things that have let Xiaota down. Now that God has not punished me by killing my own flesh and blood, I am grateful."
"But, some things are better to be said out loud, so that everyone can have less of a knot in their hearts."
Wei Yanwu took a puff of cigarette, and after saying this, he turned to Chen Qi and said with a faint smile:
"Chen Qi, the little tower...is now in your care."
"Needless to say I have always done so, uncle."
After gaining Wei Yanwu's approval, Chen Qi changed his way of addressing Wei Yanwu, which made him
Tallulah couldn't help but grab one of Chen Qi's arms and slowly leaned her body over to express her dependence and trust on this man, with an extremely satisfied and happy smile on her face.
This matter is small, but it means a lot to them. Now they can be considered...real people with a family.
"Click."
"It seems that this scene cannot be included as a behind-the-scenes shot, but Director Chen Qi and his team will definitely like this photo!"
Not far away, Eureka, who had obtained permission to enter Wei's house to film, but also promised not to spread it out, also calmly filmed this heartwarming scene. Judging from the fact that no one tried to stop her, she must have gotten tacit consent.
Beside Eureka, Vina, Frost Star and the Patriot were all watching this scene with great satisfaction. However, Vina looked at Frost Star who was wiping tears with satisfaction beside her and couldn't help asking:
"Are you really okay? I remember you also..."
"This is not a conflict. You joined us later and don't understand our relationship with Chen Qi and Tallulah." Shuangxing wiped away her tears that had turned into ice, deliberately showing a cold look, and said to Vina:
"Although Tallulah and I are rivals in love, I also know that I can never challenge Tallulah's position in Chen Qi's heart... I couldn't do it then, and I can't do it now."
"But, even if this is the case, we are still a family. We are family, and then other relationships come. Do you understand?"
"Oh, it means extramarital affair." Vina suddenly realized and immediately understood what Frost Star said, but she was soon attacked by a burst of freezing ice cones.
Vina has been in Chen Qi's crew for such a long time, and has become very familiar with everyone in the crew. Although she has been doing various jobs in the crew besides studying, Vina has also mastered the interpersonal relationships in the crew thoroughly.
Now Vina is in Frost Star's Snow Monster Team, responsible for some more important tasks. Frost Star has always been suspicious of the attitude of the former Crown Prince Victoria towards Chen Qi. In addition, when in Londinium, Vina sneaked into Chen Qi's room wearing a maid outfit and worshipped Chen Qi as her teacher, so Frost Star has always been "taking good care of" Vina.
This was not the first time the two women had fought each other. Vina, with the blessing of "Breath of Kings", could always dissolve Froststar's Originium skills, but she was still no match for Froststar. Therefore, Vina set a goal for her own martial arts - to surpass Froststar first.
As for surpassing the Patriot... Vina didn't dare to think about it for the time being, and the extraordinary martial arts displayed by Chen Qi now made Vina's mind more active. As long as she learned the Yan language well, she could not only understand the must-read books about the emperor's success that Chen Qi gave her, but also understand the martial arts secrets!
……
"So, you still plan to leave?"
In the Li-style Detective Agency in Longmen, Old Li was taking a sip of hot tea at this moment. The person in front of Old Li was Huai Tianpei. After experiencing the baptism of the Tathagata Palm, Huai Tianpei became less competitive and more gentle and steady.
Before leaving, Huai Tianpei made a special trip to find Lao Li. He wanted to thank his sworn brother who had taken care of his daughter for so many years.
"To be honest, you look more like a father now. You were just a warrior before." When Lao Li saw that Huai Tianpei was still about to leave, his eyes could not help but cast to the other room - there, Huai Hu, Hong and A must be here listening to their conversation.
"But why do you still want to leave? Since you have an epiphany, why don't you stay and use your martial arts to protect your good daughter?"
"...Following me is not a good thing for Huai Hu. I am destined to be a martial arts fanatic, but she can do better than me."
Huai Tianpei also smiled roughly. After the obsession in his heart was resolved, he seemed to be much more open-minded and more clear about what he should do next. He immediately said to Lao Li:
"Huai Hu has better talent than me and can go further than me. More importantly, she understood from the beginning why she practiced martial arts."
"It's better to have Huaihu by your side. I have too many enemies and she will be involved in unnecessary trouble. Let Huaihu do some small things with you, even if it's just chivalry. When her martial arts skills are high, if she wants to do something else... then let her do it."
"What are your plans for the next step?" Seeing that Huai Tianpei had made up his mind, Lao Li stopped trying to persuade him and just asked Huai Tianpei about his future plans.
"Travel around Da Yan and collect martial arts from various schools and sects." Huai Tianpei, who had already decided what he should do in the future, quickly replied, "Compile them into a book and take it to Yumen. Then find a job as a military officer."
"Oh? When are you going to eat this official meal?"
Lao Li was also surprised to hear this. This was not like the Huai Tianpei he knew. But Huai Tianpei grinned, and for the first time, a kind smile appeared on the face of the strong man. He replied a little embarrassedly:
"Just like you said, people always have to find a place to settle down. I am now collecting martial arts from all over the world so that they can be put to good use in the hands of better people."
"Da Yan's soldiers are all preparing for war at Yumen. Whether it's the northern evil or other threats, they will be needed at all times in the future... I'm just a warrior, there's not much I can do, I can only compile some martial arts and bring them to them, so that more people can use martial arts for the right way."
"Tell Huai Hu that if one day she hears that Huai Tianpei is 'dead', then let her come to Yumen to find me. I will change my ways and try to be a good father again."
"——You have to talk to Huai Hu yourself." Upon hearing this, Lao Li smiled happily, with a teasing expression, but he did not reject Huai Tianpei's request. In a good mood, Lao Li immediately teased:
"I didn't expect Huai Wuchi to be so cheesy. It seems that this Tathagata Palm hitting you has woken you up."
"He's awakened. It's time to wake up." Huai Tianpei closed his eyes and nodded. He didn't say much, but every word they said was heard by the three people in the room.
At some point, Huaihu had already closed his eyes. Hong and Ah couldn't help but look down at Huaihu, but they saw that Huaihu didn't cry or make a fuss, but just remained silent. Ah, who couldn't stand this atmosphere, couldn't help but ask:
"Um... Huai Hu, don't you have anything you want to say to your dad?"
"What is there to say? He is my father and a martial arts master. I can't stop him from leaving." Huai Hu seemed quite open-minded, with a faint smile on his face. He said with tears in his eyes:
"I never practiced martial arts to surpass him or to prove anything. I just wanted to show my own value. In this respect, I am definitely not inferior to him."
"I am very happy that he can restart his life and realize his own value. I am proud to have such a father."
Huai Tianpei's heart knot was untied, and the moment he bowed his head and admitted defeat, the person who also untied the knot was Huai Hu. Even though the figure of her father in her memory was very faint, when Huai Tianpei untied the possession on his own and showed the demeanor of a master even in defeat, she also had an epiphany.
I have a father who is such a pure martial arts master. Even if my inner demons are used to take advantage of me, I can still stick to my heart and not let the evil spirits bewitched my mind.
She felt proud that she had such a father. At this moment, Huai Hu felt like she was Huai Tianpei's daughter.
……
On the other side, Zhongyue was walking on the streets of Longmen with Nian and Xi. After asking the two girls about their next plan, Zhongyue nodded and said:
"So, you plan to continue following Director Chen Qi? If so, I will be relieved, brother."
“Brother, don’t you plan to go with us?” Nian also hoped that Zhongyue could leave with them, and Zhongyue smiled and shook his head, saying:
"There are some things I cannot leave behind... But I think when Brother Huai returns from his travels, I should be able to give my 'sword' to him for safekeeping. I trust Brother Huai."
"When the time comes, I may come to look for you, and His Majesty the Emperor will probably allow me to leave Yumen for the time being."
"The Emperor of Dayan is so annoying. We have done so much for him, but he is still not satisfied." Xi did not hide his disgust for the Emperor of Dayan at this moment. He ordered them to work and doubted them at the same time, even though they had obviously done so much for Dayan.
"I hope this movie can help the emperor put down his suspicion a little bit. However, it doesn't matter how suspicious he is. Anyway, Nian and I will always be by Chen Qi's side."
"...It seems that Sister Xi has also found her home."
However, when Zhongyue Jianxi expressed his dependence on a place or a person for the first time, he couldn't help but blink, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.
Sister Xi... Could it be that she has a special affection for Director Chen Qi? When Zhongyue thought about this, his first reaction was not to oppose it, but to think about the feasibility of this matter - after all, Xi was the sister that Zhongyue was most worried about. As the youngest sister among the twelve, Zhongyue knew that Xi was timid and did not trust strangers. Now that he had finally found someone he could trust, Zhongyue could not help but think about it.
Apart from the matter of having three wives and four concubines, there seemed to be nothing wrong with that? Moreover, Zhongyue felt that Xi probably wouldn't think about that kind of thing between men and women, and it was enough for her to be by Chen Qi's side as a friend, especially since Chen Qi was a giant beast, and his life span matched that of Xi and the others, so there was no need to worry for at least ten thousand years.
"I think this matter can still be discussed."
However, just as Zhongyue was thinking, a familiar male voice suddenly sounded. The three of them turned around and found a familiar figure standing in front of them.
"Second brother?!" X3
"Big brother, sister Nian, sister Xi." The second brother, who had transformed into a human figure, also greeted his three brothers and sisters, but when he saw Nian and Xi hid behind Zhongyue at the first time, the second brother said helplessly:
"Don't worry, this is the body I made for myself while walking in the human world. It is still a remnant soul. With your abilities, you can break my remnant soul at any time."
"But I'm not here to fight. I'm here to ask you something very important."
After the second brother finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Chongyue. Although he was only on good terms with Ling and Shu, he still respected Chongyue. He just didn't understand why his eldest brother sealed up the "giant beast" part.
"Brother, I have something to ask of you. It's about Director Chen Qi."
"... Second brother, if you want to ask about the Tathagata Palm, I have nothing to tell you." Zhongyue replied calmly, and the second brother shook his head and said immediately:
"It's not because of this. I'm convinced that I lost this move. But I have something more important to verify."
"Brother, Sister Nian and Sister Xi, don't you feel that Director Chen Qi and we seem to have some resonance? I want to verify this matter, just verify it once, if I make other moves, you can always eliminate this black spot of mine."
As soon as the second brother said this, the three of them quickly remembered the closeness to Chen Qi that made them feel strange. Seeing that the second brother was so serious, they all thought of the same possibility that the second brother was thinking... which was obviously impossible.
Chapter 235: Chen Qi, you are indeed our “Sui” family’s younger brother!
"What's wrong? What did you bring me here for?"
That night, Chen Qi was still thinking about going to Tallulah's room, taking advantage of the opportunity to get the approval of Wei Yanwu and his wife to fight Tallulah again, and Tallulah would definitely be extremely obedient, when Xi and Nian broke into the room and took him into the world of the scroll without saying a word.
When he entered the scroll, Chen Qi discovered that Zhongyue was also here, and there was another person whom he did not know, but he knew who the other person was just by looking at the small map.
"Hello again, Director Chen Qi." The second brother's attitude was better than Chen Qi expected. Chen Qi didn't know whether it was because the Tathagata Palm had shattered the second brother's confidence, or for some other reason...
"Or should I call you Tathagata? Chen Qi, Tathagata, are these the names you use when you walk in the world? Do you have any other names?"
"No, I only have this name, Chen Qi. 'Tathagata' is not a name." Chen Qi was also shocked by his second brother's words and immediately rejected his second brother's guess. Chen Qi didn't dare to call himself "Tathagata", not for any reason, but as a time traveler, it was simply a conditioned reflex that he felt taboo.
After Chen Qi said this, Zhong Yue beside him also became interested. He bowed to Chen Qi and asked humbly, "Then may I ask, Director Chen Qi, what do you understand as Tathagata?"
"Tathagata is Buddha, and Buddha is in people's hearts. In other words, anyone who has Buddha in their hearts can be Tathagata." Chen Qi still respected Zhongyue very much, and at the moment, he tried to explain it according to his understanding of Buddhism:
"To save all sentient beings and to be kind and generous, even non-Buddhists can do the same things as Buddha. To me, Tathagata is not a name, nor is it a symbol of any particular Buddha. Anyone who does good deeds can be Tathagata."
"Buddha is in the human heart...well said." Zhongyue was very satisfied with Chen Qi's explanation. This was the answer that best met his expectations, but he still wanted to hear Chen Qi's answer. After all, he was the only one in the world who knew the "Tathagata Palm".
In a sense, in the eyes of Zhongyue and others, Chen Qi, who created this move, is "Tathagata" himself. However, Chen Qi's answer revealed the essence of "Tathagata Palm", which is the requirement for the user to have a "Buddha's heart".
"...You are kind-hearted. How can you have no resentment in your heart? It's really strange." The second brother couldn't understand Chen Qi's words, but at this time, Nian and Xi also despised their second brother. Nian said bluntly:
"Don't confuse Chen Qi with you, second brother. Chen Qi is just like my eldest brother. He has sealed up the power of his giant beast. His realm is much higher than yours."
"If it weren't for you, how could we have fallen into such a situation and be monitored everywhere?" Xi was even more impolite. Although she was afraid of her second brother, she had her eldest brother and Chen Qi to support her. She had the confidence to scold her second brother and said:
"If it weren't for Chen Qi's guarantee, Nian and I would still be under surveillance by the people of Simuitai. If you want to rebel, why bother involving us?"
"Ridiculous." However, the second brother was not polite at all. Even though he only had a remnant soul, he still scared Nian and Xi so much that they trembled all over and hid behind Chen Qi and Zhongyue.
"Do you really think that if we don't make any move, Da Yan will really let us go? We still have the power in our hands, and Da Yan keeps forcing us to do this and that. If one day they want to seize our power, do we still have a chance to resist?"
"We must have enough power to resist, so that Da Yan will continue to fear and respect us. Once they think we are under their control, we will be fish to be slaughtered at will."
"...But, I'm not here to argue about this. I've already told you all that since you don't want to come, I won't force you."
The second brother also turned his gaze to Chen Qi. Chen Qi suddenly felt that the second brother's eyes were a little strange, as if he wanted to see through his entire body, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Just when Chen Qi was wondering if his second brother was still thinking of trying to make a big move and possess him, his second brother said to Chen Qi:
"Chen Qi... I'll call you that for now. May I borrow a drop of your blood?"
"My blood?" Chen Qi couldn't help but blink, but he quickly remembered that he was now flowing with "Sui's blood"! Looking at the four people present, all of them were in the "Sui" camp, Chen Qi suddenly thought of a possibility.
——Could it be that their blood was connected to me and I mistakenly thought he was their brother or sister?!
