Chapter 1095

The Marquis originally thought however he wanted, then just do it that way! After pondering for a long time, Yu Yu Daozhang gave Chen Wuji an answer.

Chen Wuji pondered for a moment, "What was I originally thinking? Daozhang, you really read my mind? You even know my original thoughts—if you still say there's no such thing as mind-reading technique, that's hard to explain away!"

"..."

Yu Yu Daozhang suddenly regretted coming here.

This isn't an opportunity—it's clearly a trap!

No, the divination didn't mention a trap either—could my divination have gone wrong?

At this moment, Yu Yu Daozhang began to doubt himself.

He retraced his actions over the past few months, then pinned it down to roughly a month ago, some evening when he'd eaten two slices of beef.

Those two slices of beef weren't something he deliberately wanted to eat; rather, he simply hadn't recognized them.

The beef sauce made by that farmer's family was too thick; he ate two slices, and only after swallowing did he realize something was off.

If we're looking for a cause, there really is one!

But Yu Yu Daozhang still had doubts—just two slices of beef, surely not powerful enough to cause such a big effect?

"Marquis, this poor Daoist truly doesn't have such abilities; as for how to explain this matter..." Yu Yu Daozhang wore an expression of utter hopelessness.

"Actually, it's quite simple to explain—this poor Daoist knows a bit about divining the heavens and also has some understanding of yin-yang and the eight trigrams. The Marquis isn't sure whether he can do it, but I can tell the Marquis an answer."

"The Marquis originally thought about this matter with the intention to do it, but then hesitated about whether he could do it—so, this is the cause!"

Yu Yu Daozhang said it all in one breath, then lifted his tea cup and drank deeply.

This reason is true, just slightly humble.

What he truly saw was far more than what he said.

But the key point here is to make Chen Wuji believe and stop doubting that he has mind-reading technique.

Mind-reading technique—this kind of thing...

Any ruler in power fears it.

If Chen Wuji really started doubting this, Yu Yu Daozhang would have to consider hiding in some deep mountain, because outside he definitely couldn't roam freely anymore—one misstep and he'd be chopped, burned, his bones crushed and scattered, and finally subjected to a great killing formation that would make his soul fly and spirit scatter.

"So Daozhang meant this—meaning I really can do it?" Chen Wuji asked again.

Actually, he never really doubted mind-reading technique at all—he was just making things up off the top of his head.

This world does have some mysterious aspects, but based on what he currently knows, nothing is mysterious to this degree.

However, Yu Yu Daozhang is truly a genuine Daoist master who has attained the Dao—this is true.

Such a figure understanding some unconventional methods is quite scientific.

What he said—knowing a little of this, a little of that—if you just replace it all with "well-versed," it's about the same.

"Yes!" Yu Yu Daozhang no longer beat around the bush this time, directly admitting it.

Chen Wuji immediately felt reassured, "Thank you, Daozhang, for your guidance."

"I dare not accept such praise!"

At this point, both suddenly fell silent.

Yu Yu Daozhang dared not speak again, fearing Chen Wuji would catch him again and make him do free labor, still clinging to those three words "mind-reading technique" and not letting go.

Meanwhile, Chen Wuji was reviewing the tactics he had previously discussed with Xu Zengyi.

The old Daoist said it was feasible, so he needed to adjust some things slightly, quickly put this matter on the agenda; as for the actual success rate behind the old Daoist's words "feasible," Chen Wuji hadn't considered it at all.

Such a master—truly worthy of belief!

He's been dealing with Yu Yu Daozhang for some time now—whether this old man truly has power or is just falsely famous, Chen Wuji has long known in his heart and doesn't need to doubt anymore.

"Daozhang, you didn't say earlier you'd bring a disciple over? Why is there no sign of anyone?" Chen Wuji, having formed a plan in his mind, gathered his thoughts and asked.

Yu Yu Daozhang stroked his beard, "He's already gone into the mountain; there are still some things in the mountain that need arranging. I'm old, climbing mountains and crossing ridges is inconvenient, so I sent my useless disciple to handle it."

"Daozhang, you really are completely impractical—you say you'll shrink the earth to an inch, and I'd believe that, but a little mountain-crossing—how could that possibly become your obstacle?" Chen Wuji said.

This old Daoist is good in every way, except he speaks too humbly.

Yu Yu Daozhang remained silent for a long while.

Where on earth did this person hear all these strange and unusual things from?

Logically, the Chen Clan's classics shouldn't contain these at all.

He's never even heard of mind-reading technique, while shrinking the earth to an inch is not unfamiliar—he's even practiced it, though currently there's not much progress.

But the origin of this Daoist method is the same as that book《Immortal's Secret》—both were dug up from underground by him, extremely ancient things.

Anyway, before this, whether in the Daoist Sect or in the Rivers and Lakes, he had never heard of similar Daoist methods or techniques.

"Marquis, please don't mock this poor Daoist—this poor Daoist's age can't be considered small." Yu Yu Daozhang insisted on continuing to hedge, "Birth, aging, sickness, death are the normal state of the Human World—no one can change that. Upon reaching old age, one must indeed yield to time; my Dao cultivation is still acceptable, but I cannot change the wear and tear of the years."

Chen Wuji chuckled lightly, gave up arguing with this old man on these matters, and instead asked, "Daozhang, how do you view my renaming Magic Capital Mountain and its essence?"

"The Marquis changed it correctly—this mountain originally had another story." Yu Yu Daozhang said, "On this land, the original inhabitants were not the Huihe People, but our Senior Ancestors. Around two thousand five hundred years ago, this place was called Buzhou Shan."

Chen Wuji suddenly sat up straight, "Buzhou Shan? That divine mountain shattered by Gonggong? Because the mountain body broke and couldn't be rejoined, it was called Buzhou, and there were still Jiamu Fruit Trees growing on Buzhou Shan?!"

Yu Yu Daozhang stared in shock at Chen Wuji, "How does the Marquis know these things?"

These things came to him with more difficulty than shrinking the earth to an inch and the《Immortal's Secret》.

It was when he was young, wandering the four directions, that he dug them up from underground on an island overseas.

Because the story on it was too shocking, many things overturned existing historical records, while others filled in the blanks in historical records.

After returning, he deliberately checked the classics, but found no relevant records.

Because the cause and effect involved in this matter is too vast and too deep, even to this day he hasn't decided how to bring those things out.

Who would have thought that just saying it casually, he'd find the same content here?

Does the Chen Clan's classic really contain things from ancient times?

Weren't they exiled? How could they still have preserved these things?!

Chen Wuji looked doubtfully at Yu Yu Daozhang, "Daozhang, Buzhou Shan—isn't this common sense? Shouldn't everyone know it?"

Yu Yu Daozhang raised his hand and pointed to Xu Zengyi and others beside Chen Wuji, "Marquis might as well ask Xu Zengyi and the several people whether they have ever known of it?"

"My lord, I truly do not know!" Xu Zengyi said.

"You don't know?!"
