Chapter 28 Questions and Thoughts
Zhang Chi Hang’s face turned red. He waved the willow branch and said, “It cannot be called the Golden Band Spell. It was made by Duo Bao and he has the patent. If I call it by that name, he’ll charge me an authorization fee. But I have no money. There’s no harm having a bit of copyright awareness. ”
“Copyright…” What a stingy Bodhisattva! He chose names randomly just in order not to pay the authorization fee. But this also conformed to the character of an Ivy League graduate in financial management. I remembered that when Liu Shuai called out the martial arts I wanted to use. I didn’t think much at that time, but I felt it was a little weird. So, I asked Liu Shuai, “what did you call the martial art that requires me to castrate myself? The Sunflower Reproductive System Grimoire? Did he tell you that name? ” I pointed at Zhang Chi Hang, “What kind of name is that? Whose stupid idea is it?”
“Knock it off! I didn’t tell him that.” Zhang Chi Hang looked into the distance, deliberately not at us. “I just told him not to say its real name. You ‘ve imitated his skills. Why do you have to copy the name? He’ll charge you for the—”
“Authorization fee. Alright, I got it.” I took over his words. I felt that this Bodhisattva had been poisoned by the western educational system, but I had to admit that what he said was reasonable.
“Hehe,” Liu Shuai scratched his head, “have you forgotten that I’m a biologist? Flowers are the reproductive system of plants in my eyes. Shouldn’t the name of the book be Sunflower Reproductive System Grimoire? ”
“What?” I broke into a cold sweat. I was surprised that he defined such a thing with an academic term, so I replied, “with your mindset, it should be very difficult for you to find a female descendant of a high-level primate.”
“Female descendant of a high-level primate?” Liu Shuai pondered for a while, then he punched me, “damn, you’re cursing me for not being able to find a girlfriend!”
I laughed and shouted for mercy. Then I recalled that he seemed to have said something strange, so I asked, “who is Duo Bao? Why is the Golden Band his magic tool? ”
Zhang Chi Hang did not answer, but there was some unhappiness on his face. I looked at Liu Shuai again, and he explained to me in a low voice, “I heard that Laozi, the founder of Taoism, took Taoist Duo Bao out of Han Gu Guan. Then he changed from a savage to Buddha Sakyamuni. There was a lot of controversy about the secret history, but in recent years, there was a remarkable book that brought up this matter again and argued that Duo Bao might have some relationship with Sakyamuni. Back in the days when Taoist Ci Hang was in the Exposition Sect, the relationship between the two religions was rather delicate. The two might have some conflicts after Taoist Ci Hang became Avalokitesvara. ”
I seemed to remember something. According to Journey to the West, after Sakyamuni bestowed the Golden Band, the Tight Band and the Forbidden Band to the Bodhisattva in front of me, he only used the Tight Band against Sun Wukong and kept the other two secretly. Among the three magic tools, the Golden Band was the most powerful one. It was said that it had been used to subdue Hong Hai’er. If that’s true, then what the hell was this? I couldn’t figure it out, but I still admired Liu Shuai’s knowledge of these things, including Xiao Hong’s techniques and cultivation. Had it not been for his guidance, my legs would have been broken. So, I praised Liu Shuai, “you are really good. You know all about magic arts.”
Liu Shuai laughed, “I’m not so powerful as you. You can learn these great martial arts just by reading a few books. You weren’t that strong in the last fight, but now you can fight with Hong Hai’er. You’re really making great progress. It’s true that a product manager who knows martial arts is invincible.”
“I don’t know why. I seemed to have had divine assistance in this battle. I felt like I knew these martial arts and I was more skilled in this fight.” I said proudly, but I suddenly realized that those martial arts were borrowed, and I would lose them all when I woke up. Liu Shuai’s Two Elements Dust Array was truly powerful. Thus, I praised him, “your are stronger than me. A product manager cannot stop a developer who knows martial arts.”
“Are you finished flattering each other?” Zhang Chi Hang was probably not used to being ignored. He stuck the willow branch into his kalasa and looked at us, “You think I’m a Bodhisattva made of mud?”
Normally, Liu Shuai would not contradict Zhang Chi Hang. However, I did not care about this and asked him directly, “what should I do? Should I praise the world-famous Bodhisattva for dropping the ball at critical moments and forcing a mortal to deal with a great demon with Innate Spiritual Fire? ”
“…” Zhang Chi Hang seemed not angry at my words, but he was obviously stunned, “you know nothing about it. You borrowed the martial arts from the novels last time and you used your own temporary magic power. It did not work very well at that time. But it was my innate talent that activated your ability this time. I have great power and wisdom to integrate those martial arts more thoroughly. I can feel that you’ve been subconsciously practicing these arts lately, so we’ve seen that sort of result. You didn’t seem to have divine assistance, you did have that kind of assistance.”
I see. Yan had told me before that even when I was dreaming, I called the names of martial arts. It turned out to have such an effect. Even so, I stubbornly refused to admit it, “how could you make mortals work for you to subdue Hong Hai’er?”
Zhang Chi Hang’s face turned red, “Un, the Bodhisattva is testing you.”
“Oh, you are so smart. ” I put my palms together and gave him a little bow banteringly. Zhang Chi Hang subconsciously dodged to the side. I didn’t notice this detail until I recalled it again a long time later. Only then did I understand what exactly was going on. But at that time, I asked, “what should we do now?”
Zhang Chi Hang waved his hand, then a cloud rose up and took Xiao Hong away. He soon disappeared. Then Zhang Chi Hang snapped his fingers, “Let’s go!”
Suddenly our vision blurred and we were back in the office as if we had never left. The wish form was still floating in the air.
There were too many things I didn’t understand. It looked like we had gone back to the past, but that kind of explanation didn’t convince me. It was more like a holographic role-play game.
I asked, “Is that your special hologram?” I didn’t know Zhang Chi Hang’s magic power, so I could only describe it with what I saw on TV, “did the hologram show us how you reacted to Sima Yi’s wish many years ago? It didn’t look like a hologram. If it’s a hologram, why would I be involved? Is it a new form of interactive gaming? ”
I looked at Liu Shuai who obviously did not understand either. It seemed to be something beyond his knowledge system.
Zhang Chi Hang was a little proud, “If I say that the things that you had experienced just now, Kong Ming, Sima Yi, Shang Fang Valley, and the flames, were all real, and you did participate in that period of history, what would you think?”
