"4?"

"What about three tosses?"

Yuuki Asuna quickly calculated in her head and came up with 64 possible times, then said, "So I have to throw it 6 times?"

Ling Wuji nodded, and this was the last time she threw down the coin. The young man matched the result with the hexagram in his mind and said, "'Nine four, or leaping in the abyss, no blame'?"

"what does that mean?"

"It's just a reference for the direction of 'Looking for Qi'."

"The direction of 'looking at the qi'? I thought it was to predict my future fate."

"Destiny is something that cannot be predicted in this day and age, at least not with pure innate numerology," Ling Wuji asked her to return the ancient copper coin to him. After weighing it for a while, he casually put it in his pocket and said, "Maybe it was possible in ancient times, but nowadays, most people can only give a vague indication."

"But I heard that..."

"Yuuki-san, what do you think determines fate?"

Ling Wuji simply interrupted her while she was talking about what she had seen at school and just asked.

The girl with chestnut hair frowned her pretty eyebrows and shook her head.

"It's 'personal struggle' and 'the course of history'," Ling Wuji saw that she was still confused, so he shook his head and said, "To put it more simply, it's 'internal factors' and 'external factors'. You think my divination at school is very effective because the 'fate' of students in school is almost negligible due to 'external factors'. Most of the people who come to me for divination ask boring questions like love. But whether a person is popular or not can be seen from his appearance, conversation and personality. Divination is just revealing the results that most people can foresee in advance."

"Is that right?"

Ling Wuji nodded, glanced at the time on his phone, and said, "Maybe there will be some accidents. After all, this world is a bit weird..."

Sensing that the boy seemed ready to say goodbye, Yuuki Asuna asked hastily for some reason, "You said that people in ancient times could see their fate through divination. Why is that?"

"Because in ancient times, it was a time when humans and gods coexisted. It was a time when 'the connection between heaven and earth' had not yet occurred, and it was a time when mystery had not yet declined. At that time, the fate of mankind was basically shrouded in the shadow of the gods, so divination only required asking and praying to the gods."

In the end, the boy got up and left without staying or saying anything more.

So Yuuki Asuna just tried in vain to carve the boy's figure into her eyes.

Volume 1: The Bizarre Mysterious Side: Chapter 3: At the Bottom of the Gravity Well

Japan is not China.

This is an obvious fact.

The reason why we need to emphasize this fact is that in Japan, Ling Wuji cannot use both the "stargazing" and "qi-watching" techniques at the same time as he can in China.

The reason why stargazing and weather forecasting can be linked together in China is actually very simple. It is that China completed the "division of the wild" very early, at least in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Although the so-called "division" is only an appearance, the real essence hidden beneath this appearance is that the flow of "qi" in the land of China will be reflected on the huge and constantly expanding "sky curtain barrier", and each constellation basically has a corresponding area on the ground to correspond to it. This is the truth of the division.

The real "astronomy" actually refers to the formula for calculating the flow of air on the sky barrier.

So generally speaking, in China, stargazing and weather forecasting are basically used together.

A very prominent example is that Lei Huan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty observed purple air hovering between the two constellations "Niu" and "Dou", and discovered that the pair of ancient swords "Longyuan" and "Tai'a" were buried underground in Fengcheng. This is the source of the allusion "Dragon's light shines on the ruins of Dou Niu" in "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" in the high school textbook.

If astrology could be used within Japan, it would indeed save a lot of intelligence trouble.

Unfortunately, Japan never really established the Sky Curtain Barrier.

Therefore, Ling Wuji could only observe directly, but even looking from a high place, he could see that the air currents floating on this strange Far Eastern island were incredibly chaotic. Fortunately, Ling Wuji used divination to calculate the approximate direction, and also obtained the qi energy connecting her and the magician from Yuuki Asuna. These two points alone allowed him to roughly guess the direction. The qi-gazing technique only allowed him to confirm whether the two qi energies could overlap.

"A ghost? Or..."

But that night, when Ling Wuji arrived at the place called Wu Tiao Building, he felt a little tricky when he saw the figure floating in the sky. However, he still faced the challenge and directly bypassed the checkpoint of this nearly abandoned building. He took the elevator and went to the top floor, which allowed him to get closer to the ghostly figure floating in the air. However, from a close distance, she was not as illusory and hazy as a ghost, but more like a real fairy.

The unrealistically beautiful woman in her early twenties in the air saw the young man, hesitated for a moment, then pointed at him.

"Is this the 'hint' that was planted on Yuuki?"

Ling Wu Ji felt as if a switch somewhere in his mind was turned on. He immediately shook his head, then untied the wooden sword wrapped in a cloth bag from behind. After a moment of hesitation, he aimed the tip of the sword at her figure. At this moment, the woman in the air suddenly intensified her hint to Ling Wu Ji. It was originally just "you can fly", but now it seemed as if she wanted to pull Ling Wu Ji's soul out of his heavy body.

If it was any other rookie in the Qi training stage, there might be no way he could withstand this kind of mental suggestion from the other party that was close to the Yin God realm, but Ling Wuji was like a fish in water, allowing the thought to run wild in his mind, but his thoughts were never disturbed at all, but became clearer than ever before, like a line that was slowly tightened and emerged from the water -

If you want to ask why.

That is, my soul is not bound by gravity!

At this moment, Ling Wu Ji only felt that he and the figure in the air were the only ones left between heaven and earth. Everything else had gone away, turned pale and dim. So he understood that now was the best time to take action. He held the hilt of the sword upside down in his hand and was about to throw it, but a surge of sadness suddenly came from the woman.

sad?

Ling Wuji's body shook at this moment.

He punched his chest with his fist, forcing himself to distance himself from the emotion.

"That's why I hate this kind of mental confrontation."

But at this moment, he couldn't help but wonder, is the other party really in the same realm as him, and not a Yin God?

But if the other party is a Yin god and wants to kill Yuuki Asuna, why would he just use this suggestive magic?

Ling Wuji's thoughts inevitably began to become confused, but at this moment, a sudden thought emerged:

"Come to think of it, the system's mission seemed to be just to find this magician, but why wasn't it completed?"

So he subconsciously recalled the details he had overlooked:

"There are actually two of the same Qi?"

He once again used the art of looking at qi to confirm this fact.

So, this is that person's clone?

Thinking of this, the boy stopped entangled with this consciousness and turned around and rushed downstairs.

……

Wujo Kirie had no idea that her life as someone's pawn had been disrupted by a sudden young man.

"Are you my enemy?"

But she asked anyway.

Inside the hospital, the door of the ward was opening. An uninvited young man had somehow managed to get here. His handsome face was filled with a cold expression like wind and snow.

"maybe."

He seemed to examine himself carefully, and then for some reason, he just stood there quietly for a moment, and then casually said something almost cold: "You are about to die here, right?"

Ling Wu Ji has now completed the task of that system.

Although he didn't know why the system only asked him to find this person, nor did he know why finding this person could make the text of "Liezi's Wind Control Technique" appear, but at this moment, the words flowed through his mind like running water, so he did get this Taoist technique, although the obscurity of this Taoist technique was far beyond his imagination.

So he put it aside for the moment and just looked at the woman in white hospital gown lying on the bed in front of him.

Obviously sick.

As pale as transparent skin.

Waist-length black hair.

Even though he didn't use the Qi-gazing technique to conduct a deeper observation, Ling Wu Ji had already realized that the deathly aura in the room was so full that it was about to overflow.

"Why would you suggest to others that they could fly? Deathly madness?"

"So...what's wrong?"

"Don't you know what you are doing? The hints you give them will make them lose track of their own instincts and make them think they can really fly. The end result will undoubtedly be that they will fall from a height and die."

"I just thought that after I woke them up, they would talk to me and become my friends."

When Ling Wuji heard her answer, he said, "Subjectively, I have no criminal consciousness, but objectively..."

He sighed and said, "Can you remove that suggestion?"

The woman shook her head slowly.

"why not?"

"From beginning to end, all I could do was share my feelings."

Ling Wu Ji sighed again.

If I don't deal with this person and remove the hint, can I really handle it with my current self?

Volume 1: The Mysterious Side of the Bizarre: Chapter 4: The Gate of Life and Death

Although Ling Wuji had no intention of being a moral guardian who judged others, he still carefully inquired about the past and motives of this woman named Wu Tiao Wuhui, and confirmed that she had indeed inadvertently given a hint to the person who was dreaming at the time. He then restrained the idea of ​​ending her life at this time, and asked her how she got that consciousness body that was similar to the clone, and thus learned about the key person in it -

Araya Soren.

And the more he dug into it, the more strange it seemed to him:

If Araya Soren could really create a consciousness similar to the Yin God for Wu Tiao Wuhua, considering his human level, it is impossible for him to be unable to completely cure this woman. At the very least, with his means, couldn't he transfer this person's consciousness to another body?

But he chose a more troublesome approach.

There must be some conspiracy behind this practice.

But Ling Wuji still doesn't know who this conspiracy is targeting.

Moreover, it is hard to say whether his intervention has destroyed the conspiracy.

Following this line of thought, Ling Wu Ji found that he might have offended Luo Hao again, just like the last time, and had inexplicably offended an enemy that he absolutely could not deal with at his current stage.

Moreover, the so-called "Taoism Forbidden Arts Catalog" system currently gives out quest rewards that are still obscure and difficult to understand. From Ling Wuji's point of view, it would take at least a month or two to get started. Moreover, even if one gets started with Lie Zi's Wind Controlling Arts, it would only be used to escape. Wouldn't it be enough to escape from China to Japan? If they continue to escape like this, they will have to escape to Vietnam, and maybe even Thailand, and then Myanmar...

No, isn’t this the Bible of the Chinese national football team?

Ling Wuji looked at the woman on the hospital bed again, pondered for a moment, and shook his head: It is easy to stay out of it, but in the current situation, if he wants to resolve the crisis caused by the unconscious suggestion of Yuuki Asuna and several others by this person, he must experience the suggestion process repeatedly, so he must be in contact with the consciousness clone for a long time, so as to complete the countermeasure of this suggestion magic. If he stays out of it now, I am afraid he really has no way to save the lives falling in front of him.

What's more, Huangye Zonglian is such a man, I'm afraid he is not a good person. There is no reason why he would not correct it after his chess pieces were tampered with.

At that time, the person who intervened would inevitably suffer the consequences.

So, instead of waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative.

……

But even though that's what he said, even if Ling Wuji took the initiative, he could only find some fragmentary information. At most, he would know that the other party was probably, possibly, or perhaps a magician, and magicians have always been secretive about their whereabouts. What's more, the other party is being wanted by the Magicians Association, who say they are "designated to be sealed." Perhaps luring people from the Magicians Association here is also a solution?

But maybe those crazy people who have no moral bottom line will also be interested in Wujo Kirei.

And in fact, he has no connections with the Magicians Association.

So this kind of thing is just a thought.

That day, Ling Wuji finished investigating the last person hinted by Wu Tiao Wuhui, confirmed the list, pulled the person down from the platform and gave him a hint that the current research could only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. After secretly writing down the person's identity information, he stood on the rooftop and sighed.
