Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 219, Qigong Fever

After things were settled, the Wang family started to get busy.

I had nothing to do that day and my garden at home needed precious flowers and plants.

Wang Li decided to go to the nearby flower and bird market to see if there were any plants that he liked.

Since the big storm has passed, there are now some small vendors selling goods here.

Although they don't dare to sell in large quantities or open a store directly, they still dare to set up a stall on the roadside to earn some living expenses, so this place is quite lively.

Wang Li quickly selected several green plants that were suitable for planting in his garden. When he was about to leave, the conversation between the people next to him attracted his attention.

One person said: Brother, have you heard that there is a very powerful master in the north of the city who can heal people's diseases through telekinesis. It's very magical. I plan to learn qigong from him.

Another person said: "You heard about it too? I heard about it from my wife's co-worker, but I heard there is also a great master in the south."

It is said that when he is using his power, no one can get into his body. When Xiaobenzi attacked Kyoto City, he helped resist. Even Xiaobenzi's bullets could not hurt him.

When Wang Li heard the conversation between the two, he suddenly remembered something he had overlooked, that is, starting from this year, as the great storm had passed, people's minds were becoming more open.

The qigong craze also spread across the country, reaching an exaggerated level at one point.

Like Zhang Mousheng from the north, etc. A large number of Qigong masters have emerged, and no one knows whether they are true or not, anyway, they all talk about something very mysterious.

However, Wang Li knew that only some of those qigong masters were genuine ones. Those who were should be people who practiced traditional Chinese martial arts and had reached a certain level of strength. They did have some abilities that exceeded ordinary people.

But he also knows that most of these so-called masters are fake and are just hyping themselves up. At most, they can only strengthen their bodies through practicing them, but most of the time, they may be useless and even harmful to the body.

He had heard in his previous life that in this era, there were people who practiced qigong, sitting cross-legged for the entire day without eating or drinking, which eventually led to paralysis of the lower body.

Of course, these are just some individual cases, most of them are useless.

In this environment where the whole country is in the midst of a qigong craze, only when the fever has passed and people have calmed down will they seriously reflect on themselves.

But their conversation gave Wang Li a wake-up call, because he knew that his disciples could actually be called qigong masters.

If they were to go out and claim to be qigong masters, whether they were real or not, their reputations would be adversely affected after the hype wore off, and some negative issues would easily arise. Therefore, after delivering the flowers, plants, and trees he had purchased to Mr. Kong and his son to plant, he immediately rushed to Lai San's martial arts gym.

Lai San happened to be here. Under Lai San's guidance, the master and his apprentice came to the backyard of the martial arts hall.
Perhaps due to the influence of the qigong craze, the number of people practicing qigong at Lai San Martial Arts School has doubled as much as before.

At this time, Lai San was also in high spirits. Obviously, thanks to the qigong craze, the martial arts school developed very smoothly.

Wang Li did not chat with him, but took the initiative to say: You should also know the current Qigong craze, right? As a master of Huajin, you should know that those so-called masters are too exaggerated when promoting their abilities, and some are even deceiving.

Only warriors like you who are at the Hua Jin level or above can do some of the things they said, but it is not as exaggerated as they said.

Lai San nodded and said: Yes, now many people come to ask if they can learn Qigong.

Wang Li said: In this regard, you must strictly control it, and make it clear when promoting it to the outside world that what we practice here is not qigong, but serious traditional kung fu, which is used to strengthen the body, and it does not have such powerful abilities as the legend says.

Lai San's expression was slightly embarrassed, he smiled and said: Okay, I understand. In fact, we did not exaggerate the publicity in the early stage, but we did not deny some things. After all, we teach real kung fu, and there is no harm in them coming to learn.

Wang Li smiled and said, "I knew you would do this. As the eldest brother, you also run a martial arts school. You should tell everyone in our lineage that we must not allow anyone to spread false propaganda outside, pretend to be a qigong master, and ruin our reputation."

If you find such people, tell them that I will immediately destroy their cultivation and expel them from the sect.

Lai San immediately said: Don't worry, I will convey it, but will it be that serious?
In fact, he knew in his heart that Wang Li had a long-term vision and was basically correct in what he saw.

Wang Li said: There shouldn't be any big problems, it will just ruin our reputation and bring some troubles, there is no need for us to get involved in these things.

After all, what we teach is real kung fu. Just proceed step by step and don't rush for success. You have developed very well over the years. Don't ruin your reputation in the end. It's not worth it.

By the way, who is managing the martial arts gym these days? Is it still Wang Xiaohu?

Lai San replied: It's still him. His second son is also very good at Kung Fu. When he has nothing to do, he will come here to help and teach some new apprentices. He is still very talented and his character is impeccable.

However, he seems to be busy with business recently, and I don’t know what will happen in the future.
