Chapter 178 Tai 1
Chapter 178 Taiyi
Looking at the smile on Xia Chan's face, Ning Zhe inexplicably felt somewhat familiar. He seemed to have seen this scene somewhere. Where?
I remember now, it was in Gubei Town.
The way Xia Chan was seriously negotiating business with someone about her niece's lifelong event was exactly the same as Boss Chen, who was urging Ning Zhe to get engaged to Chen Yaming as soon as he finished the college entrance examination and it would be a done deal.
Should we say that they are all from Qinzhou? Even the way they sell their daughters is exactly the same.
Yes, that’s how it is in our Qinzhou.
In line with Yu Ziqian's unruly and unrestrained nature, Ning Zhe took off his mask and gave Xia Chan a sunny smile: "I'm happy to do that."
Xia Chan's polite smile rose a little more, and she stretched out a hand to him: "Then, Mr. Ye Yao, we are a family from now on."
"Don't be polite. Just call me by my real name, Yu Ziqian." Ning Zhe held her extended hand and left after a moment.
"Okay, Mr. Yu."
The cooperation was reached, and Xia Chan was in a very good mood as she successfully stopped the loss for the family in time. From now on, the Xia family will officially have an additional ally who is an upgraded person.
Moreover, he is an ascender who is highly praised by Lan Shiwen. Yu Ziqian is still very young. He has the ability he has now at such a young age. It is unknown whether he can reach the level of Wutong or even Tuyu in the future.
Even if you die halfway, it doesn't matter. Just like Ning Zhe said, is there any investment in the world that is guaranteed to make a profit?
But once the investment is successful, the benefits that a five-level upgrader can bring... cannot be measured in money.
The only problem now is to find a way to do ideological work on Xia Yubing. The sooner this happens, the better. She has a hot temper and it will easily cause unpleasantness in the future.
Ning Zhe watched Xia Chan nod slightly at him and then turn around and walk to the other side of the corridor, with a faint smile on his face. He knew that Xia Chan was rushing to persuade Xia Yubing, but he had no intention of stopping or interfering.
Ning Zhe was not worried at all that Xia Yubing would say something inappropriate after hearing that she needed to 'marry Yu Ziqian', because before the two of them got off the car, Ning Zhe had already planted a mental imprint in Xia Yubing.
The content of the stamp is:
[I must not reveal Ning Zhe's real name and identity to anyone]
"This time, the ideological imprint was successfully planted... Why?" Ning Zhe walked through the empty corridor holding the mask, thinking about a question in his mind:
When in Zanju Town, Ning Zhe tried to impress upon Xia Yubing that "only with this person can one escape from Zanju Town", but failed.
The rule of 'the god who cannot be looked at directly' does not apply to Xia Yubing.
In addition to being shocked, Ning Zhe also made some guesses about the reasons for this phenomenon, and he has three hypotheses:
[1. Tu Yu discovered his identity]
[2. Interference from other rules]
[3. I have always misunderstood the criteria for determining the ability of the Thought Stamp]
Among them, hypothesis 1 has been disproven. I successfully stamped myself with the ideological stamp of "I am Ning Zhe" again in Zanju Town. Nothing unexpected happened and Tu Yu did not discover my identity.
As for hypothesis 2, it was also ruled out when he took Xia Yubing away from Zanju Town.
The rule of the Four-Faced Buddha is "observation". As the Taiyi Observer at the center of the world, he can influence objective facts with his own cognition, but it does not affect the "God Who Cannot Be Looked At Directly", and there is no conflict between the two rules.
And after leaving Zanju Town, I don't know why I was able to successfully plant the ideological stamp. It's really weird.
Two of the three hypotheses have been ruled out, so the only thing left is...
"So I have misunderstood the conditions for triggering the Thought Stamp?" Ning Zhe recalled his previous actions and thought to himself as he walked out of the hospital: "In other words, the medium that triggers the Thought Stamp is not 'eye contact'?"
If the medium by which God stamps people’s thoughts is not eye contact, then what is it?
This problem is extremely important to Ning Zhe. He must ensure that he can control the "God Who Cannot Be Looked At Directly" as soon as possible after finding it. He needs the "God" to make up for the erosion of Taiyi. At this time, any unexpected incident is fatal.
Perhaps because he was thinking too intently, Ning Zhe didn't even look at the road along the way. He went down to the underground garage without saying a word, and came to his parked car. Just as he was about to open the door and get in, he suddenly saw that there was a person leaning against the car.
"I don't know what it is that has you thinking so deeply about it. I feel a little embarrassed to bother you." The man leaning against the car door gently waved his whisk to sweep away the dust on his sleeves: "I am Duan Geng, Brother Ye Yao, nice to meet you."
Ning Zhe looked up and saw that the guy who called himself Duan Geng was wearing a wide Taoist robe with a picture of mountains and rivers painted on it with ink. He held a dustpan in his left hand and a demon-subduing pestle in his right hand, and a string of Buddhist beads the size of ping-pong balls hung on his chest.
Duan Geng had a loose Taoist hairpin tied on his head... The hairpin was a silver cross.
"...Should I call you Taoist priest? Senior monk? Or priest?" Ning Zhe was speechless.
"I am a disciple of Taoism, and my master is from Mount Lu. If you don't mind, Brother Ye Yao, you can just call me Taoist Duan." Duan Geng nodded to Ning Zhe with a smile on his face, holding the demon-subduing pestle.
It is this sunny smile that always reminds Ning Zhe of the insurance salesman who comes to his door.
Someone who could shout out "Ye Yao" certainly couldn't be an insurance salesman. Ning Zhe looked at Taoist Duan's brilliant smile, thought for a moment, and understood this person's identity.
Duan Geng, the 114th generation disciple of Zilu Temple in Lushan, has the code name Poguan on the Shengge network.
"Po Guan" is not the name of a ghost, but the name of a secular god. In folklore, Po Guan is mainly responsible for sweeping away evil spirits and getting rid of insects. This is the code name Duan Geng gave himself.
It’s not named after a ghost, but a name given by myself.
In other words, Duan Geng is not an upgraded person who directly controls the rules by himself, but a grantor who indirectly uses the rules through some means.
There are few such people, but they do exist.
"So it's Taoist Priest Duan... No one comes to see you for no reason. What do you want to see me for?"
Ning Zhe picked up his phone and glanced at the lock screen. The latest message on the screen was from Xia Chan to Zhang Yangxu, and the content was 'Where the hell have you been? Come back quickly, Yu Bing has been found.'
Hard to bear.
"It seems that Brother Ye Yao is busy with something, so I won't waste your time talking any more." Duan Geng tucked the whisk under his armpit, took out a cigarette from his Taoist robe, lit it for himself, and then handed one to Ning Zhe:
"I just got the news that Brother Ye Yao brought a woman out of Zanju Town, and she has transformed into a granter with the help of the rules of Taiyi. Is that right?"
"Taiyi?" Ning Zhe reacted quickly: "Are you talking about the four-faced Buddha with only three faces?"
"That's right." Duan Geng nodded, handed the cigarette in his hand to Ning Zhe, and said, "I once dealt with the ghost that lurked in that town in my early years, so I know its name."
The four-faced Buddha who can interfere with the facts with his own observations is named: Taiyi.
"Thank you, I don't smoke." Ning Zhe raised his hand to block the cigarette that Taoist Duan handed to him, frowning and saying, "Don't you Taoists give up smoking and drinking?"
"If you can't even give up sex, how much more so smoking and drinking?" Duan Geng said with a smile.
