Chapter 150: Looking at the Qi
Since becoming an extraordinary warrior, using the art of reading to observe people and things has become Su Daoshan's instinct.

Especially when fighting with others, once he starts reading, Su Daoshan can not only see the opponent's weaknesses and key points more clearly, but also often has a feeling that the world is slowing down before his eyes.

Su Daoshan knew that this was because his eyesight had become sharper and his control over details had become more acute. He was able to react in advance by observing subtle changes in the other person's gaze direction, shoulder movements, footsteps, body twists, and even the dust on his body.

Precisely because of this prediction, the world seems to be slowing down relatively speaking.

However, this slowdown might only be one hundredth or even one thousandth of a second. It was difficult for me to even feel it, let alone make my body react in time.

But precisely because of this, Su Daoshan has always understood the importance of reading strange arts.

He really wanted to know how this art, one of the three major paths for scholars, would evolve as his extraordinary realm improved, and what kind of surprises it would bring him in the future.

Today, before Su Daoshan saw Ke Lizhi, he had not started reading.

Firstly, the continuous use of the magic will consume a lot of mental energy. After a long time, people will be mentally exhausted and dizzy. Secondly, the previous battle with Yunjingmen was also a rare opportunity for him to hone his martial arts. Therefore, even though he was suppressed by Bao Shouyi, he almost couldn't help but start reading several times, but he finally held back.

What Su Daoshan never dreamed of was that when he read Ke Lizhi at this moment, he found that he actually saw some things in the other person that he had not seen before.

That is a kind of "air"!
It was difficult for Su Daoshan to describe the changes in reading the strange art. If he had to describe his state of looking at Ke Lizhi at this moment, the first thing that came to Su Daoshan's mind was a unique skill that his old Taoist master taught him in his previous life.

Wangqi!

Whether it is looking at people or looking at Feng Shui, Taoists use qi as a basic skill. People have essence, and mountains, rivers, and even all things in the world also have their own different "qi". For example, prosperity, nobility, anger, evil spirit, wealth... and so on.

Qi sounds like something illusory, invisible and intangible, but it actually exists. Otherwise, our ancestors would not have created so many words related to Qi.

However, in the past, when people learned to observe qi, whether it was observing people or the land, they basically followed a set of mechanical methods summarized by predecessors to make judgments based on external characteristics and some signs.

Its essence is similar to its appearance.

Face reading is to judge a person based on his appearance, figure, skin, eyes, etc.

It is said that character determines destiny. It is also said that appearance is determined by the heart. A person's experience, character, psychology, emotions, etc. will gradually show up in his face during his growth.

A person in distress will habitually frown and sigh. Long-term self-pity will make his face look bitter. A person who is suspicious, jealous, and gossiping will habitually curl his lips, squint, and have a frivolous look. Over time, his face will look mean and unruly.

As for the blessed people, they usually have ruddy complexion, clear eyes, and a kind face that makes people want to get close to them. This is because of his experience, which has prevented him from being troubled by those messy things.

It's like two people walking over at the same time, one coming from the mud, and the other coming from the fitness greenway. The marks on their bodies are definitely different and can be seen at a glance.

As for observing the qi, it means observing the spirit of a person in addition to his appearance.

A person with good luck must have a strong, warm and clean aura. He is full of energy and has a ruddy complexion. Whatever he says or does, he has a strong influence and appeal. It is as if he has a strong magnetic field naturally, which makes people involuntarily attracted to him, curious about him, and want to understand him and get close to him.

On the contrary, if a person's aura is weak, low, dark, and he is listless, with dark skin and black forehead, people will involuntarily want to stay away from him and will not be able to get close to him.

As for the fortunes of the two, they are even more different.

The reason is very simple. As the saying goes, Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman should constantly strive to improve himself.

People live for a spirit, a spirit that is always looking forward and full of hope. If one is depressed and self-pitying all day long, he has subjectively lost the chance of good luck.

Because if you want good luck, at least you have to go for it. If you don't dare to take that step, or always retreat habitually instead of actively moving forward, not to mention that luck will avoid you, even if luck comes, you won't be able to catch it.

The same is true when looking at people and when looking at Feng Shui.

Why does a Feng Shui location have to be a place with a clear aura, plenty of sunshine, mountains, water, and trees, which gives people a sense of vitality, rather than those dark and damp places? The principle is the same.

After learning from the old Taoist for so many years, Su Daoshan is not good at fortune-telling, but he is quite talented in observing qi.

Because face reading requires a lot of memorization. Su Daoshan himself is too busy with schoolwork to have time to study that. But looking at the qi is not that troublesome. To master this skill, in addition to the most basic knowledge, the most important thing is not how to look. But to perceive it by instinct!

In fact, everyone has this instinct. When people meet a new person, they can often tell from the first impression whether the person's aura makes them feel comfortable or uncomfortable.

It’s just that Su Daoshan has been more sensitive in this regard than ordinary people since he was a child.

The old Taoist often praised him, saying that he was born with good vision and would not suffer any loss when he grew up.

The fact is indeed the same as what the old Taoist said. Su Daoshan rarely suffered losses in this regard during his growth. In daily life, as long as he is willing to get close to friends, there is basically no problem. Even if some of them have poor family conditions, they are upright and positive, and basically will not cause any trouble or negative emotions.

However, those people who are not compatible with him and who he subconsciously avoids when he meets them are usually not good people. They are either not good people or they are in trouble.

The same is true for doing things. Whether he is looking at a client or a teammate, Su Daoshan likes to look at them through the Qi. This made him even regarded as a lucky star in the eyes of his mentor. It seems that every time he actively participates in a task, he completes it well.

In fact, Su Daoshan was just trying to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune in advance.

But today, what Su Daoshan never dreamed of was that he really saw the Qi.

This energy enveloped Ke Lizhi, as if it was diffused from his body. Even in the dazzling sunlight, it was still faintly glowing and clearly visible. Moreover, this energy was strongest at his forehead and the top of his head. It was as if the strands of energy had substance, drilling in and out, then interweaving together, and growing upwards like vines.

Su Daoshan raised his head and looked above Ke Lizhi's head. There was nothing there, nothing could be seen. But for some reason, Su Daoshan could clearly feel that there was an invisible tree standing there silently.

Tao seed!

At this moment, Su Daoshan seemed to have suddenly been enlightened, and finally knew where the familiar aura he had felt from Ke Lizhi came from.

"Mr. Huang Zhu! This guy is actually Mr. Huang Zhu!"

Su Daoshan was sure that his perception was correct. Although Huang Zhu's appearance was shrouded in mist and could not be distinguished in the spiritual realm, the aura of his Tao Seed that he sensed through his spiritual sense at that time was exactly the same as what he sensed at this moment!
At this moment, Su Daoshan felt his mouth dry and his heart pounding.

You know, whether it was Xie Xunbai's previous warning or his own experience in the spiritual realm, Su Daoshan understood that the identity of every extraordinary warrior in the spiritual realm is his biggest secret.

This secret was kept extremely secret because it was covered by the mist of the spirit realm's will. Unless special means such as the Soul Devouring Talisman were used or the other party was willing to expose themselves, it was impossible to spy on it.

But now, I can actually see through this secret through Qi observation...

Su Daoshan felt like a gambler standing at the gambling table, and suddenly found that he could see the numbers on the dice in the dice clock.

Su Daoshan swallowed hard, and moved his gaze from Ke Lizhi to Gu Tianchi next to him, and then from Gu Tianchi to Meng Qiaofu...

Su Daoshan's whole body stiffened and he slowly turned his head to look around.

There were crowds of people all around. Everyone had their own "qi". Some of these qi were bright white, some were gray, some were yellow, some were black... Different colors gave people different feelings. Some were bright and friendly, some were dim and weak, some were cold and cruel... But most people only had a thin layer of qi on them. It even fluctuated with their emotions from time to time.

But in a very small number of people, Su Daoshan saw "trees".

Ke Lizhi has it, Gu Tianchi has it, Meng Qiaofu has it, Wang Yongliang has it... the two Fiery Army generals near the gate of the Garrison Fort have it, and the two powerful sect masters, a man and a woman, standing next to them have it...

And the rest of the crowd, men and women, young and old…

The world seemed to become silent at this moment, and all the people and all the scenery seemed to be frozen in time.

Su Daoshan used up almost all his strength to control himself, not letting himself lose control because of the throbbing in his heart as if he had seen a ghost. But he found that his body still became so stiff and he couldn't help shaking.

"Old man, this is not a wisdom eye, this is a yin-yang eye!"
