Chapter 140: Mountains and Rivers

Night.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe sat in a small pavilion, looking silently at the bright moonlight falling on the eaves, plating a layer of silver on the flowers and green plants around.

Since the power leakage accident, the Bishuiwan Manor has been closed for more than a month. The owner of the manor already has the intention to sell the land of Bishuiwan at a reduced price. The staff in the park have also withdrawn, resigned, and the automatic irrigation equipment has been cut off from water and electricity. The delicate flowers that no one maintained have withered one after another, leaving only the wild grass growing wildly to cover the magnificent manor with a filter called 'Desolation.'

"Sure enough, things like houses still need people to live in to have popularity. It's only been empty for a month, and the whole manor is as desolate as a zombie apocalypse."

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe looked at the pitch-black manor main building in the distance, feeling a bit regretful in his heart.

It is both a pity for the desolation of Bishuiwan Manor, and also a worry about the reckless behavior he made today.

——Frankly speaking, using life-buying money to resurrect his dead grandparents is actually very, very, very irrational. Because doing so not only does not conform to Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's interests, but also brings him no small trouble and hidden dangers.

People who have been confirmed dead, suddenly resurrected after being sent to the morgue, this sounds unbelievable, but there have been such precedents in medical history. Doctors are not gods, and there will always be misdiagnoses when they handle many patients. This matter is plain.

But at the same time and place, two people who were confirmed dead for the same reason in the same hospital were resurrected at the same time in the freezer of the morgue, this is... not plain at all.

What's more, the relationship between these two people is even husband and wife. This kind of living and dying together in the literal sense is simply a natural conspiracy theory and urban legend ghost story material.

It is also a strange phenomenon that Gridders wandering like ghosts on the land of Kyushu are always alert to.

"If there is no accident, some Gridder should have noticed me now." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe sighed lightly. He didn't even need to think to reach this conclusion, but he just didn't know when the Gridder who was alarmed by the strange event would hear the news and come.

Maybe they have already come.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe reviewed today's events and felt that the most rational method should be to directly give up the lives of his grandparents. They were already in their seventies, and their aging bodies had been exhausted by hard work in their early years, and they didn't have many days left. Even if they were resurrected by him, the bodies poisoned by psychotropic drugs had already decayed and didn't have much life left.

The foreseeable rest of the two old people's lives will be spent paralyzed on the hospital bed. Using the God of Wealth's big hand to forcibly pull the two dead people back from the ghost gate to the human world is just letting them suffer from illness for a few more years in this world, and finally struggle to die in pain.

This is a transaction with a very low cost-effectiveness. While wasting 2 identities for a total of 2 opportunities to buy a life from the God of Wealth at the lowest price, it also made Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's true identity, which he had been trying to hide, more easily exposed. No matter from which aspect, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe, who has always been thinking in a rational AI type, should not have made such an irrational move.

But he did it anyway.

"People live in the world, they will always do things that are emotional, but not reasonable."

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe stood up, walked out of the pavilion, stepped over the colorful and messy wild grass along the way, and walked through the flower garden under the moonlight: "Otherwise, what is the difference from a ghost."

He doesn't think he is a ghost, he is Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe... So what should Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe do now?

Should go to prepare for the college entrance exam.

Qinzhou's college entrance exam this year officially starts on July 10, lasting for 3 days, ending on July 13, and the registration of candidate information and the issuance of admission tickets start from July 7-9.

Few students will take a month-long leave in the last month of their third year of high school like Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe, and few students will be as calm as Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe in preparing for the exam after their relatives almost died and their parents are still in the hospital. Fortunately, Boss Chen, who also drank the ice wine, had no major problems and soon recovered. While despising his brother-in-law's insidious behavior, Boss Chen and his wife took the initiative to take over the nursing obligations of the two old people who were still in the hospital, letting Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe rest assured to take the exam. In the end, he didn't forget to urge him to come back and get engaged as soon as possible after the exam, and his attitude was far more urgent than before.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe left Gubei Town and returned to school to prepare for the exam. At the same time, the Gubei Town development project department continued its survey of the environment around the town.

On the morning of July 07, 2018, Pang Xuesong, the regional manager of New World Group in Taoyuan City, drove with three subordinates to the top of the Hanging Pot Waterfall north of Gubei Town, and soon found the very conspicuous yellow stone ancient monument at the waterfall mouth.

This ancient monument, which gave Gubei Town its name, is over 7 meters high, with rounded edges and not very square. It looks like a stubborn stone that rolled down from the mountain and happened to stand here. After perfunctorily leveling one side, it was hurriedly inscribed.

The inscription on the yellow stone ancient monument is very short, with only two words from top to bottom:

【Taishang】

"Taishang, that's right, it's here." Looking at the yellow stone ancient monument at the waterfall lake mouth from a distance across the branches of the trees, Pang Xuesong couldn't help but tidy up his collar to make himself look more formal.

He had an appointment with a noble person here today. Although there were not many people accompanying him on this trip, he couldn't lose his image.

After all, that noble person is really extraordinary, even their chairman Zhang Yangxu has to respect him three points.

"Usually, Zhang Zong personally leads people to connect with that noble person, without exception... But Zhang Zong said he really has something to do in these two days and can't get away, so he entrusted me to receive the noble person." Pang Xuesong looked at the window nervously, his heart heavy: "Must not lose the sense of proportion, so as not to provoke his anger."

The driver parked the car in the open space next to the yellow stone ancient monument. The morning sun sprinkled pale golden light on the hanging lake above the waterfall. Pang Xuesong and several neatly dressed subordinates got out of the car and looked around, but didn't see anyone.

Pang Xuesong dialed the noble person's phone and asked: "Mr. Duan, we have arrived at Gubei, you are now...?"

"I see you."

Pang Xuesong looked up and saw a pink convertible sports car driving elegantly on the road not far away. The person driving looked like a woman from a distance, a long-haired male driver from a close distance, and then looked again, it turned out to be a young Daoist priest in wide robes and big sleeves.

The roar of the engine gradually subsided, and the pink convertible sports car stopped on the other side of the yellow stone ancient monument.

The disheveled young Daoist priest pushed the door and got out of the car. The off-white wide Daoist robe was stained with ink-wash mountains. The splash-ink landscape extended from his shoulders to his chest, and then went around his back to his waist. The majestic mountains and rivers were continuous, and he was actually wearing a magnificent landscape painting of mountains and rivers.

Pang Xuesong's mouth twitched, thinking that the noble person who even Zhang Zong had to treat slowly was really extraordinary, but the extraordinary things about this young Daoist priest were far more than that.

I saw him wearing a wide Daoist robe with a landscape painting of mountains and rivers, a string of sandalwood Buddha beads the size of ping-pong balls hanging on his chest, a whisk in his left hand, a demon-subduing pestle in his right hand, and a silver cross necklace hanging inside the Buddha beads.

The young Daoist priest put the whisk on the hood of the pink convertible sports car, took off the necklace, used the slender cross as a hairpin, tied his disheveled hair into a Daoist bun, and then said:

"Wuliang—Tianzun, you must be Manager Pang Xuesong, Pang. The poor Daoist's surname is Duan, and the Daoist name is Geng. You can call me 'Duan Geng'."

Pang Xuesong coughed lightly and tried hard to restrain his emotions: "So it's Daoist Duan, long admired, long admired."
